A Beekeeper in a Magical World

The Wind Chime Flower wasn't named for its resemblance to wind chimes. Instead, its affinity for the wind element caused it to create a small magical field around its petals once it blossomed.

This field, while absorbing the wind element, resonated, producing a clear bell-like sound, hence the name "Wind Chime," a fitting depiction.

These flowers had an unusual light green color, and their petals were elongated, resembling bamboo leaves but much softer. Each flower boasted five of these delicate petals that bent and hung outward from the center due to their extreme softness.

The scent of the Wind Chime Flower was delicate. In this area, with so many of these flowers, the fragrance permeated easily. But if there was only a single flower, one had to get closer to catch a hint of its aroma.

Hua Mi adjusted the wind element balance in this field every morning and evening, ensuring the air maintained a constant flow. A rich supply of wind elements was conducive to the Wind Chime Flower's growth.

His dedication paid off, as these Wind Chime Flowers flourished under his careful tending.

Surrounded by the field of Wind Chime Flowers, their gentle rustling akin to flowing streams, one couldn't help but feel a calming sensation, a refreshing coolness washing over them.

It wasn't a mere psychological effect but a special magical effect generated by the flowers' sound waves.

Though subtle, it was not to be underestimated.

While these flowers were average in terms of aesthetics, they possessed some functionality, making them quite popular in the western continent.

Especially in the hot regions of the south where planting them in bedrooms or courtyards could alleviate the heat when the breeze carried their tinkling, cooling sounds.

Hua Mi sequentially opened each bee box, checking if any by-products had formed.

Unfortunately, he found none.

"This batch seems to have been unlucky."

Inspecting all the bee boxes revealed no products besides honey. Hua Mi felt a bit disheartened.

However, upon further thought, flowers with rare magical elements were more likely to produce miraculous by-products. Since the Wind Chime Flower was a common nectar-producing plant and its magical elements were rather ordinary in the western continent, the absence of additional products seemed reasonable.

Oh well, he couldn't force it. Business came first.

Time to harvest the honey!

The Wind Chime Flower honey had a yellow-green hue and exuded a fresh, cool aroma, akin to just being taken out of a refrigerator. But its temperature felt normal to the touch.

Hua Mi used a measuring bee to cover a jar of honey, connecting his consciousness to the bee swarm to extract the honey's specific information.

"This honey, derived from Wind Chime Flower nectar, is rich in wind elemental magic. Upon consumption, it enhances one's perception and control of wind elements, significantly boosting the power and casting speed of wind-based spells. Estimated value: medium."

"This honey seems quite useful for mages, especially those specialized in wind magic," Hua Mi noted. Yet, he realized the value assessment seemed confined to the category of "honey."

In other words, the implied meaning here was: Wind Chime Flower honey was of medium value among other types of honey.

Likewise, assessing a stone would yield a "low-value mineral" within its category.

This clearly differed from the "Void Scale," which allowed for the equivalent exchange of any item.

Perhaps it was due to incomplete information or the differences in the information integrated into the bees.

Either way, he deemed the medium value assessment appropriate for this honey.

Compared to the Mirage Butterfly honey, Wind Chime Flower honey lacked universality, at least in terms of widespread appeal.

However, what caught Hua Mi's attention were two obscure segments of information that he received, akin to encrypted entries.

Clearly, this was deeper-level information that he couldn't decipher with his current control over the measuring bees.

Contemplating for a moment, Hua Mi scooped a spoonful of honey into his mouth.

Unlike regular honey's rich aroma, Wind Chime Flower honey had a unique coolness. An inappropriate analogy would be as if it contained a hint of mint (though not in flavor, just the cooling sensation).

With a single taste, it felt like swallowing a "liquid breeze."

The entire mouth was filled with this refreshing breeze, instantly leaving the teeth and tongue exceptionally fresh, as if miniature whirlwinds were sweeping through the mouth, leaving the exhaled breath refreshingly crisp.

Then, this "liquid breeze" slid down the esophagus, leaving a noticeable coolness, causing the esophagus to contract slightly before the honey landed in the stomach, spreading its coolness...

It felt like a complete internal rejuvenation.

"Seems like this honey can freshen one's breath."

Though Hua Mi didn't have bad breath, after tasting the honey, his mouth felt fragrant.

Raising his hand to cover his mouth, he exhaled, reveling in the refreshing breath and unable to resist taking a few more sniffs.

"Couples in love would adore this."

As a qualified honey supplier, Hua Mi immediately thought of potential consumers for this honey.

A dab before a kiss, an enhanced experience, multiplied joy.

With this honey's refreshing breath effect, wouldn't couples in love get lip-smackingly close?

Of course, vision shouldn't be so narrow.

The target audience for this honey wasn't solely lovers.

As an Earthling, Hua Mi knew well the immense stress of modern society. Many seemingly healthy individuals actually harbored various health issues.

What with cervical spondylosis, anxiety disorders, and hypertension...

Most of these conditions required hospital visits for diagnosis.

Some minor issues were quite apparent, with the most common external manifestation being bad breath.

Irrespective of regular brushing, some people's breaths warranted "keeping a distance."

Wind Chime Flower honey could be the savior for these individuals.

"This has its selling point."

For a product, a clear selling point was crucial.

Reviewing the information about Wind Chime Flower honey in his mind, after tasting it, Hua Mi's understanding of this honey had indeed deepened.

The initially ambiguous entries were now decrypted.

The first part, in summary, indicated "refreshing breath" and "cleansing the intestines."

In other words, besides clearing oral odors, Wind Chime Flower honey seemed to cleanse impurities from the intestines.

Upon careful consideration, this seemed logical. Given the connection between the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract, if it could cleanse the former, naturally, it could do so for the latter.

Leaving you radiantly fresh from inside out.

This part was easily understood.

As for the second part, Hua Mi pondered for a while.

He realized that if this honey were sold on Earth, its impact might be more significant than he initially thought.

"However, the probability of this effect occurring is 'extremely low'..."

If the probability was akin to winning the lottery, then it might not be very useful.
