Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The pollutant wave breaks out again! ...
Silos' proposal was immediately met with strong opposition from the ministers.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. You are still seriously injured and the land pollution is already serious. The Xisha area has the highest concentration of land pollution." The old minister's eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
"Yes, yes. Besides, the Xisha area is still some distance away from the ocean. If you are not careful, it will only aggravate your injuries."
"We'll send someone to negotiate with the Xisha District. As long as we offer enough benefits, they'll definitely let us meet Master Plant Therapy."
"Or, we can directly explain your injuries to the Xisha District." They have been avoiding talking about this matter because they don't want the outside world to know about His Majesty's condition.
Many forces in the ocean are eyeing Your Majesty with eagerness. The marine orcs are able to operate safely on land thanks to the Empire's strength. If word of Your Majesty's serious injury were to spread, it would undoubtedly trigger a turmoil.
"Don't worry." Siros looked around at everyone, his tone unquestionable. "Only by going in person can I demonstrate the empire's sincerity."

As expected, Ye Ning could no longer go to the Gaojiang District planting room during the day.
But I heard that Chongrong has woken up. It's nothing serious, just a fright. Everyone has calmed down a lot.
Gaojiang District has published the details of the incident online and stated that it will conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
He wasn't particularly gifted, and rarely appeared online. Many people only knew there was a pure human cub in Gaojiang District, but were unaware of the details. However, Gaojiang District took this opportunity to directly announce that he had recently sprouted an S-level plant.
This news instantly excited the orcs.
@Green Carp and Donkey: Was this something the rebels did? Planting explosives in a grow room—is that something a human brain could come up with?!
@StickyPotSaltedFish: The rebels wouldn't be willing to harm a pure human, let alone a plant therapist who can sprout S-rank plants at just 8 years old! However, I don't seem to remember this plant therapist's name. Is Gaojiang District keeping his talent secret?
@柴可猪斯克: Not really, it seems that Gaojiang District has had a technological breakthrough recently, not only in seeds, but also in planting techniques, so that plant therapists can easily grow S-level plants!
@骑着蚊儿嗷嗷叫: What, is this true? ? ? If all plant therapists could easily grow S-level plants, then we wouldn't have to worry about pollutants!
@柴可猪斯克: Also, I've heard that the 17-story planting building in Gaojiang District is now fully operational, and they've invited many plant therapists to help with the planting. If they successfully grow all of this batch of plants, the plant scarcity situation will definitely be greatly alleviated. Perhaps then, even ordinary soldiers injured in the area could be treated with natural plants.
Therefore, deliberately doing such a thing at this time is simply despicable.
…
Ye Ning took a look at the online discussions and was quite satisfied with the direction of the discussion on this matter.
Everyone has initially accepted that growing S-level plants is easy. This makes it easier and more acceptable to continue growing plants on a large scale and in large batches.
They were now driving to the research institute. Although the institute was still closed, Hou Lin could still enter and exit normally. So he had to help her take out the newly synthesized seeds today.
These were the seeds of lichens and Erythromyces serrulate that she had previously asked Gao Jiangqu to help synthesize.
Since she couldn't get into the planting room today, she thought she might as well go outside and see if she could try to grow them.
Erythromyces dentata can be called the water bear of the plant world, so we can't let her down.
It took Hou Lin more than ten minutes to take out the seeds.
But when he came out, he kept a serious face and pursed his lips.
It wasn't until he closed the car door and drove out that he grinned and said mysteriously, "Guess who I just saw?"
The three of them shook their heads. They were all in the car, so how could they know who he saw?
Hou Lin didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly: "I saw Yan Gang!"
He never expected that even though an accident happened yesterday, he would actually see Yan Gang today.
Hou Lin was deeply impressed by him. Professor Hou and Gao Jiangqu had never suffered such humiliation at the hands of any plant therapist.
Even if everyone has other ideas, they are polite to each other for the sake of appearance.
Plant therapists are inherently mobile, and disputes between districts have nothing to do with them. If they get bored with one district and want to move to another, that's fine. But they usually agree on a timeframe, such as one, five, or ten years. Upon leaving, they must complete the agreed-upon plantings.
Whenever Hou Lin thought about Yan Gang coming all the way to Gaojiang District, he felt an indescribable sense of joy in his heart, as if he was proud of himself.
"Originally, he was the only one who could grow S-level plants, but now everyone can grow them easily. He must be pissed off."
He was once known as the most gifted plant therapist of the century, a child of destiny. For someone so proud of his abilities, suddenly becoming utterly mediocre—how could he possibly endure this extreme disparity? No wonder he rushed to Gaojiang District in such a hurry.
Le Song had never met Yan Gang, but he had seen the documentary. "Is he the genius plant therapist who shaved off the teacher's hair?"
Hou Lin nodded, "Yes, yes, you actually know him too."
Le Song: "In order to take good care of Ye Ning, I watched a lot of documentaries about his growth."
Hou Lin was very surprised. "You actually watched that kind of thing? Let me tell you, he's even more amazing than what's shown in the documentary..."
While driving, Hou Lin complained about Yan Gang to the three of them.
Feng Qi was stunned after hearing this, and finally raised Ye Ning's hand and said, "Sister is the best pure human being in the world!"
The three of them nodded in unison.
"We almost flew to the capital area. Fortunately, Professor Hou found something wrong." Hou Lin thought about the situation at that time and still sighed. They really almost missed Ye Ning.
Ye Ning was a little amused. "If he was already very powerful before, after mastering the skills, maybe he will be even more powerful?"
But that's not necessarily the case. His previous prowess might have been due to his improved use of techniques. Human abilities are constantly evolving, so it all depends on continued effort.
Hou Lin chatted with them for a while and then they almost reached their destination.
This is one of the most famous scenic spots in Gaojiang District. They arrived early and there were not many people.
As soon as they got off the car, they were shocked by the scenery in front of them.
Unlike the yellow sand everywhere, the mountains here are red as the base color, with many other colors on top, and each color is clearly defined, making the whole look very colorful. The interlaced layers of the mountains are also very magnificent.
The morning sunlight is not very strong, but it shines between the peaks, making the overall color look more full and vivid.
Feng Qi couldn't help but run closer and take a closer look. The texture on it was very clear.
"This place is so beautiful, it's a colorful mountain."
Hou Lin looked at them and said, "Do you want me to take a picture of you? This place is quite nice for taking pictures."
Feng Qi nodded quickly, pulled Ye Ning, and took a photo of the two of them.
After taking photos for both of them, we just took a group photo of the four of us.
After taking the photos, Ye Ning got down to the main topic of the day: finding a suitable location and planting plants.
The pollution concentration in Gaojiang District is one level lower, and the extreme weather is not that outrageous, which can offset the effect of the planting boxes.
When Ye Ning came, he asked Hou Lin to bring instruments. They used the instruments to find a place with slightly higher humidity and slightly less dryness.
Ye Ning took out the bottle containing the seeds and opened the lid.
She just spread it out like that.
Hou Lin was stunned. "Is it okay to just spread it out like this?"
Ye Ning nodded and said, "Just let them grow naturally."
Feng Qi also stared at it carefully, but he couldn't see any trace of seeds no matter how hard he looked. "Sister, are there really seeds in this?"
Several people felt like she was just spreading the air.
Ye Ning thought about it and used his supernatural power to stimulate a little bit of tooth-rib red moss. Soon, a reddish-brown object the size of a sesame seed appeared on the mountain beside them!
The tiny, dense leaves are packed together like lanceolates. If you look closely, you'll find tiny tooth-like structures on the leaves.
There really are plants!
Hou Lin was about to say something when he suddenly looked up and behind Ye Ning.
At the same time, Le Song also felt it and stood in front of Ye Ning and Feng Qi.
The two groups looked at each other, and the other party waved to them cordially.
Ye Ning also noticed it. She squatted down, took back the little bit of tooth-rib red moss and put it in her pocket.
These tooth-ribbed mosses grew to the same color as the red soil background. They had just formed a circle around it, so they were definitely not visible from outside. After she collected them, there was nothing unusual here.
While Ye Ning was collecting the tooth-rib red moss, the other party walked directly towards them.
"Hou...Hou Lin? Long time no see."
Hou Lin rolled his eyes. His words were truly untrue. "Don't you need to go protect Lord Yan Gang? What are you doing here?"
Gu Su turned around and gestured to the back.
Not far away, three S-rank orcs were surrounding a teenaged, purely human girl. One held an umbrella for her, another brought her a drink, and still another set up a chair for her. There was even a tour guide standing nearby, passionately explaining something to her.
"Lord Feng Yue heard that this is the most famous attraction in Gaojiang District, so he came here specially to take a look."
Many orcs gathered around her one after another, and everyone looked at her warmly and fondly.
Hou Lin's throat felt dry instantly. He had almost forgotten that this was the treatment a pure human should receive.
Although Gaojiang District concealed Ye Ning's identity for safety reasons, the difference between the two sides was too big.
If Ye Ning felt uncomfortable...
Hou Lin's heart tightened again and again. He didn't show it on his face, but he and Le Song stood in front of Ye Ning and Feng Qi, "Are all the dozen or so plant therapists in the capital area here?"
Gu Su smiled and said nothing.
But it doesn't matter whether he said it or not.
Gu Su glanced behind Hou Lin and asked, "You are free so early in the morning, and you specially brought people here to play?"
An S-class orc and an A-class orc who is about to break through, the two of them accompanying two children, is quite interesting.
Hou Lin blocked the people behind him tightly.
"I'm on vacation, can't I bring my friends here for a walk?" Hou Lin turned around and picked up Ye Ning.
"We've seen enough of it, you guys can take your time."
Le Song also picked up Feng Qi, and the four of them prepared to leave.
Feng Qi looked over there and asked, "Is that a pure human?"
The distance was not too far, and Feng Qi had good eyesight, so she could see clearly that there were many people surrounding her.
"That person is a pure human from the capital area, Lord Feng Yue." Gu Su explained to Feng Qi patiently.
She has the same last name as her. Feng Qi nodded and lay on Le Song without saying anything.
This was her first time seeing other pure humans in person, and she knew what other pure humans were like. She preferred her sister. Her sister was good in every way, and she didn't look at others with eyes that seemed to ignore them.
Gu Su raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised that she had lost interest in Feng Yue so quickly.
"Okay, why don't you hurry back? Be careful and don't hang around outside all day. If anything goes wrong, you can blame Gaojiang District."
After Hou Lin finished speaking, he turned around and left with Ye Ning and Le Song in his arms.
When leaving, Le Song couldn't help but look at Gu Su again.
Gu Su frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
He looked at Ye Ning who was in Hou Lin's arms, but Hou Lin changed the way he held her, so Ye Ning went from lying on her stomach to leaning against Hou Lin, and he still saw nothing.
Ye Ning happened to be able to see the pure human being.
Before, she had heard that pure humans were naturally popular with everyone, but she didn't feel anything. Now that she saw other pure humans being surrounded, she finally felt it for real.
It was quite novel, as all the orcs gathered around her.
However, the lichen seeds had not been scattered yet. Ye Ning took out the glass bottle of lichen seeds from his pocket, looked around, and then sprinkled them on the rocks closest to them.
Gu Su returned to Feng Yue thoughtfully.
Someone nearby asked him, "What's wrong? Did you meet someone you know?"
Gu Su nodded and said, "Hou Lin, I came to the capital area with Professor Hou last time."
The man was a little surprised and looked in the direction of Hou Lin a few more times, "Then why is he out alone now? Doesn't he need to follow Hou Sen?"
Generally, orcs like these who were there to protect important figures were on call 24 hours a day. Furthermore, Hou Sen was the only S-rank orc around, so logically, he shouldn't have been here alone.
Gu Su: "He said he was on vacation."
The man nodded and said, "The treatment in Gaojiang District is quite good. Hey, don't come over here, keep your distance——"
Gu Su suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood what that sense of disharmony was.
When they saw Feng Yue, they didn't react at all——
When they arrived at the parking lot, they saw a new luxury car parked in the middle. It was wiped so clean that it was almost reflective.
In comparison, his car looked even more shabby.
Le Song kept thinking about Gu Su, and turned to ask everyone, "Do you think that person just now looks a bit like Gu Yu?"
Feng Qi nodded, "Yes, he looks a lot like Brother Gu Yu."
Ye Ning also nodded, "Their eyes are all blue."
"They are cousins." Hou Lin explained.
So that's how it is. Le Song happily sent a message to Gu Yu, "No wonder they look so alike."
Hou Lin turned on the automatic driving mode, and then secretly glanced at Ye Ning in the rearview mirror from time to time.
He peeked at her so often that Ye Ning couldn't ignore him. She simply asked him directly, "What do you want to tell me?"
Hou Lin's face twisted, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Ye Ning: "Just say it directly."
Hou Lin: "The pure human just now is the plant therapist from the capital district."
Ye Ning nodded.
"Although I don't want to reveal your identity for safety and convenience, you won't be as beloved and adored by the orcs as she is. Do you feel...?"
Hou Lin couldn't think of the adjective for a moment.
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately hugged Ye Ning and said, "I love you, I love you. I love my sister the most! I loved her so much the first time I saw her!"
Hou Lin nodded quickly, "If your pure human identity is exposed, they will definitely like you more!"
Ye Ning didn't expect that he was so worried about this. Was he afraid that her vanity would be damaged after the comparison?
She laughed. "I think it's good like this now. No one knows I'm a pure human, so it's convenient for me to go anywhere I want. I can be whatever kind of orc I want, and it's also safe."
"It doesn't matter whether other people like me or not, they are just strangers to me."
The likes of strangers are actually very random. They may like them one second and hate them the next. If you care too much about what others think of you, you are kidnapping yourself.
"Don't you all like me? It's all that matters if you like me. If I wanted that kind of treatment, I should just announce it directly."
Hou Lin finally put his heart back into his stomach. He knew that Ye Ning was different from them. She was different from other pure humans, and different from other orcs.
For her, this kind of thing is not worth worrying about at all.
Hou Lin and a few others had another happy day of fun.
When they came back in the evening, they saw the announcement issued by Gaojiang District.
Gaojiang District actually sorted out the whole story and even the key evidence within one day and released it!
As they had expected, all the evidence pointed to the East Star District. At the same time, the Federation also received accusations regarding the East Star District.
@Detective Corgi: Is the East Star District crazy?! They weren't the rebels, they were the ones who did this?! Planting explosives in the plant therapy room?!
@池鱼笼鸟: Don't you understand? This is a disgusting business war! I almost forgot about the East Star District. It's a blessing nothing serious happened this time. If they had really injured the plant therapist, they would have died! The Federation must severely punish the East Star District this time!
@柴可猪斯克: They could do such a thing, it must have been instructed by the chief of the East Star District. How dare they treat pure humans in other districts like this? The chief of the East Star District must be removed from his post and brought to court-martial!
…
The mayor of Dongxing District was the first to see the news and the letter of accountability sent by the federal government, and he was furious.
He directly arrested the person responsible for this incident and questioned him, "Didn't you say this was foolproof and wouldn't harm pure humans? Where did you get this evidence?!"
The person in charge hurriedly explained: "District Chief, I have already cleaned up those traces. This evidence has nothing to do with us."
The evidence really had nothing to do with them; they had swept the place clean. Gaojiang District knew they were responsible, but they had no evidence.
But evidence can be fabricated. Since the East Star District dared to do such a thing, they had no reason to show mercy.
Elsewhere, the director of the Dongxing District Research Institute hurried over, his steps hurried and chaotic. "Director, Professor Qian ran away with a dozen researchers last night!"
"Run away?! What do you mean?"
The dean's throat trembled slightly, and he spoke with great difficulty: "Professor Qian took them to Gaojiang District—"
The internet was abuzz with controversy.
But the matter has finally come to a conclusion, and the federal government has directly stated that it will thoroughly investigate the matter.
As expected, the number of pure humans coming to Gaojiang District has increased.
Ye Ning only found the opportunity to enter the planting room in the evening.
Hou Yu dismissed everyone and felt a little guilty when he saw Ye Ning. She had already heard what Hou Lin had said about what happened today.
All the S-level plants here were given to them by Ye Ning, but they could not give her honor and status for the time being, and could only let her watch others enjoy them.
Even if she doesn't care, it still makes people feel sorry for her.
The rebels were rapidly gaining strength, and all the protective measures surrounding pure humans were being strengthened. If Ye Ning's identity were exposed, she would definitely become the first target of the rebels.
Although the federal government has launched a full-scale operation to eliminate the rebels, it will take some time to achieve results.
Hou Yu could only ask Ye Ning if there was anything else she wanted.
Ye Ning didn't want anything; she simply kept her identity a secret, but her food, clothing, and other necessities were all good. However, she could tell that Hou Yu genuinely felt guilty and wanted to give her something.
Ye Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Can we send some teachers to Xisha District?"
Although all the schools in the Xisha area were renovated with the support of the empire, the level of the teachers remained the same as before.
The disparity between students is largely due to the disparity in teacher quality. Anyway, if we send people there, both students and teachers will learn something.
Hou Yu didn't expect that this was her request, so he agreed immediately.
"I will arrange for someone to follow up on this matter. If you have any other ideas later, you can contact him directly. He will fully comply with your arrangements."
She probably planted the □□ layer, and the aircraft flying to the Xisha area will take off the day after tomorrow.
In other words, she still has two days.
Holding the Green Singing Stone, Ye Ning walked through all four floors of the planting room. She even made a special trip to the ocean planting room.
Hou Yu told her about the latest progress and then added, "Tomorrow, more than a dozen plant therapists will come here to help with the planting."
"Everyone thought it was because of the good quality of these seeds and the help of Chongji that these seeds germinated."
Everyone was shocked at first, but when they thought about it, they realized that bamboo could grow, and as more and more seeds sprouted naturally, everyone got used to it.
Hou Yu: "With their help, this batch of plants should be harvested soon."
Ye Ning: "Have you taught them those skills?"
"I will teach them on site tomorrow and then let them operate it."
Ye Ning nodded and said, "I also planted the tooth-ribbed erythrocephala outside today."
She took out the little bit of Erythromyces dentata she had brought back, which was placed in a glass bottle.
Ye Ning randomly found a spot of soil and planted that bit of seed in the soil, without wasting anything.
"If this place is full, we can build another planting building and plant more. Or we can ask other cooperating research institutes to plant more together."
With so many areas, if everyone works together to cultivate, her task progress will definitely increase rapidly.
While Ye Ning was busy planting plants here, the wave of pollutants in the Xisha District, which was thought to have been safely delayed, broke out again!
