Fengcheng is located in the earthquake zone of the continental rupture, and there are earthquakes from time to time. The locals are used to it and no one takes it seriously.

After Uncle Li left, Lu Lingxi was tucked back into the quilt by Yan Yue and took a nap. He was still growing, so he fell asleep quickly. Although Yan Yue rarely suffered from insomnia recently, he couldn't fall asleep again after waking up for a while. After staring at Lu Lingxi's peaceful sleeping face for a while, Yan Yue leaned over and kissed him, and took out his phone to check the news of the earthquake.

China's earthquake network is fairly reliable. Although it has never accurately predicted an earthquake, as long as an earthquake occurs in China, detailed reports will be released in a few minutes. But to Yan Yue's surprise, this time seemed to be an exception. He spent a long time looking at the official website of the Earthquake Bureau and some earthquake-related forums, but could not find any news about the Fengcheng earthquake.

Yan Yue frowned slightly, read it again, and even went to Fengcheng Tieba to check it out. Although it was three o'clock in the morning, there were still many active people in the Tieba. Everyone was talking about everything, but no one mentioned the earthquake in Fengcheng. Yan Yue's expression became serious. He had a vague guess that the previous vibration might not be an earthquake, so what was it? Putting down his phone, he subconsciously looked at the sleeping Lu Lingxi. Out of some intuition, he suspected that the previous vibration had something to do with the boy.

With this doubt in mind, Yan Yue tossed and turned in the middle of the night before he fell asleep in a daze while holding Lu Lingxi. When the sky was slightly bright, Lu Lingxi woke up because of the heat. Yan Yue's embrace was like a stove, wrapping him up with the quilt and holding him tightly in his arms.

Lu Lingxi broke free quietly, being careful not to wake up Yan Yue. As soon as he moved, Dahei immediately opened his eyes and stood up with his ears shaking. Lu Lingxi smiled and touched Dahei, making a gesture to keep silent. The man and the dog left the house. Lu Lingxi's mind was all on the old willow tree. He quickly washed up and ran to the village entrance with Dahei.

A white panel emerged, and the entire willow ecological community was displayed on the panel.

Lu Lingxi zoomed in on the location of the big willow tree and looked at its extended roots with some surprise. From the entrance to the other end of the village, the entire village was covered with the tangled roots of the big willow tree, like countless tentacles, firmly clinging to the land.

As the big willow tree was covered in the range of the mental scan, the information about its evolution also appeared on the panel.

Plant name: Secondary weeping willow

Plant requirements: None

Plant survival rate: Very high

Plant evolution direction: soil purification +20%

Lu Lingxi only looked at the panel and didn't know the difference between the first-level plants and the second-level plants. But when he stood under the willow tree, he understood a little. The vitality exuded by the big willow tree was majestic, and there was a pure breath contained in the vitality. This breath overflowed from the willow tree, light like milky white mist, and it was very comfortable to inhale. Lu Lingxi had a feeling that the life form of the willow tree seemed to have been upgraded to a higher level than before. This feeling was very mysterious. He vaguely felt that this was the true meaning of evolution.

When Yan Yue came over, he saw Lu Lingxi standing under the willow tree with his head raised, and Dahei squatting quietly beside him. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the willow tree in front of him seemed to have grown a little taller. The willow branches drooped, the shadows of the tree swayed, and the pale golden morning light was scattered in spots. Lu Lingxi and Dahei were faintly shrouded in a layer of light milky white mist, and it seemed as if they had merged into the big willow tree.

Yan Yue felt that his idea was unscientific, but he just had a feeling that the boy and the willow tree were in great harmony.

"Xiao Xi?"

Yan Yue couldn't help but let out a tentative cry.

Lu Lingxi turned around and saw that it was Yan Yue. He curled his eyes and asked, "Brother Yan, you're here?"

Yan Yue hummed, and walked to Lu Lingxi's side almost as if he was bewitched. A light mist surrounded him, and it soaked into his body like water. He felt his ears and eyes clear, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable.

The white mist didn't last long and soon dissipated into the air. The wild flowers in the area covered by the mist seemed to bloom more brilliantly, and even the weeds on the ground grew taller. Yan Yue calmly suppressed his doubts, took Lu Lingxi's hand, and said, "We should go back."

Lu Lingxi nodded. This time he had gained a lot from the flower garden. Not only did the big willow tree and all the green plants evolve, but he also got five points of natural force from the panel reward. He had to think carefully about how to use these five points of natural force and not waste them easily.

In the next few days, Lu Lingxi was busy with micro-gardening. The order brought by Brother Han had been completed, and the green plants Lu Lingxi sent were all evolved green plants. He made an appointment with the other party to take care of the green plants once a week. Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction.

That afternoon, Yan Yue was away on business, and Lu Lingxi was alone in the store counting the seeds he bought from Taobao when a customer came over.

"Little boss."

More and more old customers from the neighborhood came and became familiar with Lu Lingxi, and gradually they started calling him "little boss" instead of "boss". Lu Lingxi didn't care what they called him, and he got used to calling him "little boss".

"Welcome." Lu Lingxi greeted with a smile.

"Your place is nice." The visitor was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes as he entered the store. Then he smiled at Lu Lingxi and praised him generously.

With the evolution of the green plants in the store, the environment inside the micro garden is much better than before. Even if you just stand outside the store, you can feel the lush greenery inside. Not to mention that as soon as you step into the store, you will feel like you are wandering in a fresh forest, which is indescribably refreshing.

Lu Lingxi still felt a little embarrassed after hearing so many compliments from customers. "How can I help you?"

The visitor seemed to have remembered something important, and placed a pot of fruit vine in front of Lu Lingxi. "Young boss, please take a look. The color of the inflorescence of this pot of fruit vine seems to be wrong."

The fruit vine is a perennial evergreen herb native to foreign countries. Healthy fruit vines have long ribbon-shaped leaves, bright and shiny like wax. The inflorescences in the leaves are upright, colorful and very beautiful. However, the inflorescences of the fruit vine in front of me are dull and lack luster, and the bottom of the inflorescence is even a little faded.

The mental scan showed that the plant needs required light, and it was obvious that there was not enough light before.

Lu Lingxi took a careful look to make sure there were no other problems, and said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with your fruit vine, it just may have lacked light before. Put it in a bright place and make sure the surrounding air humidity is high. It will be fine after a while."

The visitor looked suspicious. "Don't they say that fruit vines cannot be exposed to strong light? And they need to be shaded in the summer? Why are you..."

Lu Lingxi patiently explained: "The fruit vine is a plant that likes a warm, humid and sunny environment. If you want it to grow well and have a colorful inflorescence, it must have enough light. What it needs to avoid is direct sunlight. You can use a gauze curtain to block it, but don't block the light. Otherwise, the inflorescence will easily become dull and faded like the bottom."

Lu Lingxi spoke seriously, and the other party looked enlightened. "So that's how it is."

"You're a good young boss." The other party praised politely.

Lu Lingxi smiled shyly.

The other party waited for Lu Lingxi to finish looking at the fruit vines and did not intend to leave, but walked around the store. He stood in front of the Liger Begonia with some curiosity, hesitating: "Is this a begonia?"

Lu Lingxi nodded. What the other party saw was an evolved begonia. Unlike ordinary begonias, the flowers of the evolved begonias were fuller and brighter in color, and looked gorgeous and charming. More importantly, the direction of its evolution was the fragrance of flowers +20%. As long as you walk next to it, you can smell a faint fragrance.

The visitor seemed a little bit unconvinced. He lowered his head and sniffed for a long time, then looked at Lu Lingxi hesitantly, "Young Boss, is this pot of begonia bred by hybridization?"

Lu Lingxi was slightly stunned, but shook his head and explained, "It's a mutation." He had already thought about it. If he met a customer who knew a little bit about the business, he would tell them that the plants had mutated. If the other party asked about the specific hybridization process, it would be troublesome if he couldn't explain it.

A strange look flashed in the visitor's eyes, and he made a prompt decision, "I'll buy this pot of begonia."

Lu Lingxi curled his eyes and asked, "What kind of flower pot do you think you should pick?"

"No, just this plastic basin."

Lu Lingxi was somewhat happy that he had made a deal. However, the customer who walked out with the fruit vine and begonia in his arms had a slightly gloomy face and a serious expression. He turned a corner and got into a car parked on the side of the road. An old man in his sixties seemed to be waiting for him in the back seat of the car, and smiled slightly when he saw him come back.

"How is it? Yongtong, I didn't lie to you. Don't be fooled by the small size of the store, the potted plants inside are all top-quality. The young boss is an expert in this field. Are you convinced now?"

The man called Yongtong is Xue Yongtong, the boss of Fengcheng Lvxuan Gardening. Lvxuan Gardening and Qiutian Gardening have been fighting for many years, and Lvxuan Gardening has always been at a disadvantage. But recently, Qiutian Gardening suddenly ran into trouble. First, the potted plants sold by Qiutian Gardening were returned, which was a big slap in the face. Then it was revealed that Qiutian Gardening colluded with Lv Hongxin and his son from the Environmental Protection Bureau, and made a lot of money in Fengcheng's municipal greening projects in secret.

Xue Yongtong didn't care much about the news that followed. If you want to expand your gardening business, you still have to rely on green plants. Since Qiu Tian hooked up with Lu Hongxin and his son, he didn't care much about the flower garden and nursery. It was only a matter of time before he failed. However, Qiu Tian has been able to dominate Fengcheng for many years, and he still has real skills in growing flowers. Sometimes he has to admire Qiu Tian. He heard that the potted plants sold by Qiu Tian were returned twice, and he couldn't forget it in his heart. He wanted to see who this person was who could make Qiu Tian lose face. Unexpectedly, the other party was so young, and looked like a child, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Xue Yongtong was a little unconvinced when he came, but now he is full of emotion. He has to admit that the green plants in the micro-gardening store are all top-notch, and the young are really formidable.

"What are you thinking about?" The old man asked another question when he saw that he didn't say anything.

Xue Yongtong brought the pot of begonia over and looked at the old man. "Mr. Qian, can you tell how this pot of begonia was hybridized? The flower shape has not changed, but it is fuller and more colorful, and the fragrance is stronger."

The old man called Qian Lao looked at it carefully and shook his head, "I can't tell. It doesn't look like a hybrid, but more like a mutation. Yongtong, you are also involved in these things, hybridization is not that easy." Xue Yongtong stopped talking, staring at the pot of "mutated" begonias again and again, and he still believed in his heart that it was a hybrid, and the possibility of mutation was too small. After all, compared with hybridization, mutation is more difficult.

He stared at it seriously, and Mr. Qian also became interested. "Young boss, do you still have this kind of begonia in your store? I'll buy one to put at home. The fragrance is really good. It's just the right amount, not greasy at all."

Xue Yongtong: “…”
