Shock!

Amazement!

And disbelief!

By the Demon God above—

Sherry Moon Blade would swear on her own name to His Majesty the Demon God, she had never seen such a shocking sight!

When Lord Demon King changed the sample in the glass slide to a stained onion epidermal slice, the originally chaotic and disorganized pond instantly transformed into a well-ordered world.

The cells, once haphazard, all became uniform in shape, neatly arranged like a wall built of transparent bricks.

Dark shadows of original color floated in those crystal-clear wall bricks, vaguely revealing nucleus-like black spots.

Watching Sherry, who stood motionless in front of the microscope, Luo Yan spoke from behind her.

"...The transparent squares are the onion's epidermal cells, the dark shadows inside are the nuclei, and some are impurities like air bubbles or biological debris."

There were also some which might be dust on the lens.

After all, this was but a primitive microscope, which could barely ensure magnification, but guaranteed nothing else.

More precise microscopes remained for the people of this world to research on their own.

Nevertheless, even so, this world magnified 800 times was enough to astound Sherry!

"Cell nucleus! What is that?!"

"Think of it like a slime, the cell nucleus is like the slime's brain."

"Ohhh, so that's how it is! Wait, is a slime just an enlarged cell?!"

Luo Yan paused slightly and said.

"That, I'm not sure about, but it's worth investigating... I'll arrange for someone to collect some samples."

As he spoke, he had Youyou issue the task. Soon, his little gamers would catch a bunch for him.

Helen, who was usually composed, also became curious watching Sherry so engrossed in something, and her expression gradually grew impatient.

Especially when she saw the Demon King taking out another cover slip, she couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Please let me have a look as well..."

Watching Helen's expression, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile.

"No need to be so anxious, I made it for all of you to use, everyone will have a chance... Sherry, let your sister have a look too."

He had originally planned to teach one, then let that one teach another.

But seeing Helen's impatience, it seemed she couldn't wait.

If that was the case, then he would teach them together.

"Sure!"

Upon hearing Lord Demon King's command, Sherry reluctantly made way for her sister to get close to the eyepiece.

Unlike her brash sister, Helen carefully approached the eyepiece with restraint, afraid to get too close, as if she were afraid of damaging Lord Demon King's precious instrument.

Seeing her cautiousness, Luo Yan couldn't help but tease her.

"You don't need to be so careful, normal use won't break it."

Helen blushed slightly, murmured an apology, and then fully pressed her eye against the eyepiece.

As her eyes gradually adapted to the light source in the microscope, the whole world before her illuminated.

And at that moment, she finally understood why Sherry was so shocked—

That tiny lens felt as if it had taken her from the world at her feet to another world altogether.

And everything about this world, even its very existence, completely overturned her previous understanding!

Just as the Demon King had said, that onion epidermis, as thin as a cicada's wing, was indeed composed of countless minute entities known as "cells"!

"Incredible... Is this really the world magnified 800 times?"

Helen narrated her wonder with an excited voice, moving her eyes, filled with astonishment, away from the microscope.

One sample was too little—

She wanted more!

"Of course."

Luo Yan nodded, matching her expectations, and took out a brand-new slide, demonstrating in front of both Dark Night Elves and Oke how to take samples with tweezers from fresh leaves.

After successfully taking the sample, he dropped potassium iodide solution on one side of the slide and waited for the solution to diffuse to the other side before placing it in the microscope's slot.

"...These are the mesophyll cells near the leaf vein, and you can clearly see the difference between these cells and the previous onion epidermal cells—"

Before he could finish, Sherry was already eagerly controlling the microscope, her eyes on the eyepiece excitedly shouting.

"There are light green dots!!"

"You observe very carefully," Luo Yan commended with a nod, continuing, "Those tiny particles are the chloroplasts."

"Chloroplasts! What's that?" Sherry asked eagerly.

"Simply put, they are the cell's organelles... They're like little Magic Workshops, combining certain components in the air with water under the sunlight, producing nutrients and energy necessary for plants' vitality."

Luo Yan used simple language, omitting the chemistry behind it.

However, even so, Sherry, Helen, and Oke were still confused.

"Components in the air?"

"What is that?"

The two Dark Night Elves asked almost simultaneously.

Oke was originally going to ask, but seeing that someone else had already done so, he didn't speak up.

After some thought, Luo Yan spoke in an easygoing tone.

"That involves another point of knowledge... I'll have someone explain that to you later. For now, just understand that those tiny green dots are the source of energy for most plants."
