The so-called central tree.
Was, in fact, something like the "formation eye" of the entire orchard.
It absorbed Magic Power from the surrounding air, then released Magic Power suitable for tree growth.
A bit like how Blue Star's trees absorbed carbon dioxide.
While obtaining the "food" needed for their own growth.
They could also "exhale" oxygen to supply all living things in the world.
Of course.
Only someone like Riesling, a guy who loved studying trees, could come up with an operation like this from his time on Blue Star.
Even if others thought of it.
They could not do it.
After all, who planted trees for no reason...
Even if they did plant something, it would definitely be cash crops.
There were very few people like Riesling who planted ordinary fruit trees to make wine.
But there were reasons behind that "very few."
The main reason was that Riesling and Jiang Lan had basically monopolized the alcohol business.
So much so that before Marshall's The Order counterattacked.
And became the sole power on Storm Island.
No one had been able to break their monopoly over both the upstream and downstream ends of the trade.
And after The Order rose to power.
Their market was monopolized by The Order as well.
So few people would think to study or research anything in a place like this.
Or rather.
Compared to research, most people were more willing—and more suited—to simply rolling up their sleeves and getting to work.
After all, not everyone liked doing tedious research.
"Alright, then. If you get any results or make any progress, let us know in the group."
As she spoke, Lan Qingyou opened a Portal and sent Riesling back to his Crimson Peak New City.
"Um... I want to give it a try too."
Right
