Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Professionalism is no match for talent.
They arranged for researchers to take turns staying in the growth room yesterday to observe the growth of the mint 24 hours a day.
From the number and length of branches to the number and growth changes of leaves, every data was recorded in detail.
The more they recorded and observed, the more shocked they were.
In just one night, the mint plants sprouted several more branches at a speed visible to the naked eye. New buds and leaves continued to emerge, and the air was filled with the uniquely refreshing scent of mint.
Especially when they learned that this mint was grown from the mint that Hou Sen brought back from the auction in the Northern Continent, they found it incredible.
Cuttings are a method of asexual propagation. Furthermore, the plant initially lacks a root system, meaning it cannot absorb nutrients and water from the soil. It can only rely on its own stored nutrients to sustain life. At the same time, it must also diligently grow new roots to adapt to its new environment.
Therefore, the plants that had just been peeled off from the healthy mother plant were the weakest. They had never heard of any pure human being being able to grow plants through this method of cuttings.
But Ye Ning not only succeeded in making it grow, but also made the cutting part, which should have been weak, have such vigorous vitality and vigor. It was simply a miracle!
They also extravagantly used a mint plant for experiments and found that both its healthiness and purification capabilities were extremely outstanding, especially its purification ability, which far exceeded all the S-level plants they had recorded.
The researchers, who had originally privately complained about being brought to the Xisha Islands, all had their dissatisfaction and doubts disappear in an instant after seeing the mints, leaving only uncontrollable excitement and excitement.
Everyone knows what it means to have a plant therapist with such outstanding abilities.
Shao Yu helped her push open the door. As soon as Ye Ning stepped in, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at her.
These looks contained shock, disbelief, confusion, and genuine amazement...
Even though everyone had prepared themselves mentally, they were still greatly shocked when they saw Ye Ning in person.
An unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction filled their bodies, their hearts began to beat, and their blood began to boil.
Everyone present had seen pure humans before, but only Ye Ning gave them this extreme sense of shock.
It seemed as if even the air became fresher immediately.
But could a pure human cub this young really grow so many S-level plants at once, and each one so lush and full of life?!
But Professor Hou was able to build such a cultivation room specifically for her in the Xisha area, and her ability is absolutely unquestionable.
The next second, Ye Ning smiled and waved to them, "Good morning."
Hou Sen had already told her that many people from Gaojiang District would come to help, so when Ye Ning saw them, she was not too surprised. She had become immune to such looks.
Her eyes gently swept across everyone's face, and wherever her eyes fell, everyone could feel her friendliness and happiness.
Someone couldn't help but whisper, "Is she taking the initiative to greet us?"
"Of course, a pure human actually took the initiative to greet us!"
"How can she be so cute and polite!" This is totally inconsistent with their impression of pure humans!
After the man finished speaking, he immediately responded to Ye Ning with an unconscious smile.
This kind of warm greeting, expressed with equal respect, filled many people's eyes with disbelief and bewilderment. It seemed as if they couldn't believe that a purely human being, who usually seemed so high and mighty, could actually be so approachable and proactive in greeting them.
After Ye Ning finished greeting everyone, her eyes quickly locked onto Hou Sen in the crowd. In a good mood, she ran over to Hou Sen, looking up happily and saying to him, "Good morning, teacher."
Everyone's shocked gaze instantly fell on Hou Sen again.
Hou Sen saw their reactions out of the corner of his eye, and his already straight back couldn't help but straighten even further.
"Good morning." He looked at Ye Ning kindly and gently, his eyes revealing his love and concern for her. Even his tone was gentle and kind, a tone no one had ever heard before. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Ning smiled and nodded, "It's very quiet here, the bed is very comfortable, and everything you prepared for me is very good."
Everything in the room was tailor-made for her. She didn't have to stand on a stool to wash her face, and she could sit at the desk with her feet on the ground. Everything fit perfectly.
The relationship between the two was so harmonious that just by listening to their few conversations, everyone could feel the intimacy and trust between them.
The air suddenly became silent, and everyone was as shocked as Hou Lin. They had never expected that the two's daily communication would be so intimate and harmonious.
For a moment, everyone didn't know who to respect.
After Hou Sen confirmed that Ye Ning had no complaints, he pointed at the group and introduced them to her, "They are all the best researchers in Gaojiang District. Each of them has very deep professional knowledge and rich planting experience..."
There are eighteen people in total, with an average of 3-4 people in each section.
There were quite a lot of people, but Ye Ning still carefully wrote down everyone's name, which was considered a formal greeting.
"Let me show you the nursery first."
What they are in now is only the first door of the nursery. Once they open the second door, they will enter the real nursery.
But before entering, everyone needs to change clothes first.
Ye Ning watched them change into their white protective suits in a neat and orderly manner. The suits wrapped them tightly, and it soon became impossible to tell who was who.
Ye Ning didn't expect that she would have to wear this to enter the nursery. She asked, "Should I wear this?"
Hou Sen shook his head and explained, "We wear protective clothing because we carry too many pollutants on our bodies, which can affect plant growth. But you have plant-friendly elements in your body. The more plants come into contact with you, the better they will grow."
These are the conclusions they have drawn based on data from continuous testing.
The conditions did not allow it before, and mainly in order to let Ye Ning experience the feeling of planting, everything had to be casual.
But now that we have a growing room, we naturally have to strictly follow laboratory standards.
In the past, pure humans, without her talent, could still grow some plants. Now, with her talent and strict laboratory control, she will definitely be able to grow more high-quality plants.
Everyone put on protective clothing and lined up for disinfection before entering the nursery room. Shao Yu and Hou Lin stayed outside.
As soon as Ye Ning came in, she felt the difference between inside and outside. The most obvious thing was that the wood elements inside were much richer than outside. Coupled with such precise environmental control, it can indeed promote plant growth to the greatest extent.
That planter box is probably the level of a premium toy compared to what's here.
"The entire nursery room is fully enclosed and equipped with efficient air filtration and environmental control systems. Therefore, the temperature and humidity inside can be precisely controlled and automatically adjusted, creating the most suitable growth environment for different plants."
The space layout of the nursery is very compact, and even uses vertical farming technology to maximize the use of the space inside.
On the left, the soil is divided into 1x1 meter squares, each closely monitored by a machine. Instruments display key parameters like soil moisture, nutrients, and air humidity in real time, allowing for real-time adjustments.
On the wall of the next higher level, soilless cultivation beds are neatly arranged. Each bed is surrounded by intelligent monitoring equipment that can monitor the growth status and pest and disease conditions of the plants in real time. The equipment will automatically adjust according to the growth of the plants.
In fact, other pure humans do not use soilless cultivation technology because for them, planting plants in soil can better guide plant elements into it.
But the mint that Ye Ning threw into ordinary water can grow so well, so soilless cultivation is very suitable for it.
When Hou Sen was introducing Ye Ning, everyone was watching her. Some people even wondered if what he said was too obscure and boring. How could a little kid of this age have the patience to listen to him talk about such professional things.
But to their surprise, Ye Ning listened very attentively, nodding from time to time in response to Hou Sen, and seemed to be completely focused.
Ye Ning was indeed listening very carefully. While listening, she was also calculating the balance in the system.
She only had 200 gold coins left, which could only buy 40 more seeds. However, the seeds she had planted two days ago were about to bloom, and she could use her supernatural power to speed them up and harvest them.
But the planting area here is so large that it cannot be fully planted at once, which is a pity.
The S-level seeds they synthesized were far inferior to those sold in the mall in every way. However, only good seeds could produce good plants, thus achieving a virtuous cycle.
Ye Ning held Hou Sen back and said, "Teacher, let me germinate the seeds first. The sooner we plant them, the sooner we can harvest the plants."
Hou Sen hadn't expected Ye Ning to be even more enthusiastic than he was. Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw everyone looking like they wanted to ask something but didn't dare. So, Hou Sen didn't hesitate and had a large box of seeds brought over.
All the S-level seeds were packed in a box according to categories, and the variety was clearly marked on each one.
Ye Ning immediately spotted several varieties of seeds she didn't have. Not bad, not bad, new seeds are a good thing. Even if they don't grow out yet, there will still be new rewards!
The next second, something even more surprising happened to Ye Ning.
Hou Sen actually gave her another big bag of mixed seeds!
"These are the seeds they found in the warehouse. They haven't been sorted into different varieties yet. They're quite old, too. Even though they're all S-grade, they might still germinate."
"But I've opened up an area specifically for you. You can grow whatever you want."
Ye Ning:!!!
With new seeds, she can unlock new achievements!
She rushed over and hugged Hou Sen, "Thank you, teacher, you are so kind. We will eat watermelon together then!"
Hou Sen was stunned by Ye Ning's sudden hug, but then he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He patted Ye Ning's back gently and said, "As long as you like it."
"There's a seedling raising platform over there. Once you sprout the seeds, just give them to them and they'll help you plant them in the soil."
Ye Ning nodded and took all the seeds impatiently.
"Professor Hou, she—" Those are 100 S-grade seeds. Is she going to germinate them all at once?!
Even though she managed to grow so much mint, people still found it unbelievable.
Hou Sen waved his hand, signaling him to shut up, and then led them directly back to the door.
This is to minimize their impact.
Ye Ning glanced at the seedling cultivation platform and immediately discovered its mystery. The platform, including the bottom, was filled with circles of S-level Originium.
After she brought the seeds over, they seemed to have manipulated something, and the plant elements here immediately became even more abundant. It could be said that the germination platform was now the place with the most abundant plant elements in the room. The concentration was at least dozens of times higher than outside.
Ye Ning didn't know what else they used besides these source stones, but she could imagine that it must be very difficult to achieve such an effect, and it might even consume a huge amount of resources.
Ye Ning always carries the Green Singing Stone with her. Everyone thinks that it is because the Green Singing Stone is rich in elements that she can make the plants germinate so quickly, which just happens to provide her with a cover.
She should germinate the marked seeds first so that they can be planted in the soil in batches.
There are eight kinds of seeds in the box that she does not have illustrations for.
Ye Ning quickly contacted it again, and the system sound immediately became incessant in her ears.
[Ding——, the Alpinia officinalis encyclopedia has been unlocked.]
She can eat ginger duck and ginger milk!
[Ding——, the Red Bean Encyclopedia has been unlocked. ]
You can also eat red bean smoothie and red bean soup!
…
There is nothing in the world more beautiful than this sound!
After Ye Ning unlocked the seed atlas that she didn't have, she sorted the rest of the seeds into different categories and poured them onto the table.
The moment they were poured out, Ye Ning replaced them with seeds from the mall in batches.
She held the Green Singing Stone, compressed her own power to a level invisible to the naked eye, and slowly injected it into it.
When Ye Ning was germinating the seeds, everyone else looked at her intently.
Especially when they saw her actually carry all the seeds over at once, they were both hoping she could really make them germinate right away, but at the same time, they felt she was too young to accomplish such a difficult task all at once. This mixture of anticipation and doubt permeated everyone's heart.
Ye Ning paid no attention to them at all; her mind was on the bag of mixed seeds.
While she was controlling the seeds to germinate slowly, she had already begun to quickly check the mixed seeds.
The minimum storage time for these seeds is more than five years, and some can even be more than ten years.
The germination rate of seeds will decrease with the increase of storage time. Therefore, most of these seeds have lost their activity and cannot germinate normally.
But this big bag of seeds contains more than twenty different types.
After Ye Ning touched them one by one, she finally heard the voice she wanted to hear.
[Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the intermediate "Seed Explorer" title.]
[Title Rewards: Experience Points +1000, Gold Coins +1500, and the "Seed Explorer" badge.]
[Congratulations, you have successfully reached Level 10. Mission Rewards: 1 Corn, 1 Pumpkin...]
The badge is only about five centimeters in diameter and is round in shape. In the center is a huge three-dimensional seed, with layers of leaves surrounding the seed. Both the leaves and the seeds feel full of vitality and have a very textured feel.
Seed Explorer Badge: This badge recognizes your exceptional achievements in seed exploration and discovery. Wearing it will allow you to discern even the smallest seeds hidden deep in the desert. It also allows you to quickly identify differences between seeds, helping you explore with greater precision.
Ye Ning took out the badge and tucked it into her sleeve. The moment she put it on, the seeds, which she had previously been able to discern, suddenly became visual and digitized. The quality and merits of each seed were clearly displayed before her eyes.
Ye Ning was originally hesitant about whether to replace all of them, but after seeing the difference, she directly replaced all the seeds that could be replaced.
In an environment that consumes so many resources, planting inferior seeds is undoubtedly a huge waste of precious resources.
There were a full hundred seeds here. To avoid appearing too exaggerated, Ye Ning deliberately took fifteen minutes to germinate them all. Her experience points also increased rapidly, +10, +10...
[Congratulations, you have successfully reached Level 13. Mission Rewards: 1 Winter Melon, 1 Strawberry...]
She felt that the time was so long that she even took the time to carefully check the types of seeds she had unlocked.
Including those given by the system, there are already more than seventy types!
It could be said that she no longer had to worry about seeds. The rewards given to her by the system were all very common fruits and vegetables.
She can plant it in the field later.
However, her overall task panel did not make much progress.
【Character: Ye Ning
Level: Lv.13 (2450/3168)
Gold: 1200
Planting Planet: L25 Dust Star
Current pollution absorption progress: 0.00001%
But the little mushroom was still excited. "With such a large grow room, we can grow a lot of plants! It will definitely absorb a lot of pollution quickly!"
Ye Ning nodded, "With everyone's help, it will be much faster than if we grow it ourselves."
Ye Ning held the Green Ming Stone and ran towards them, "I've sprouted!"
"So fast?! It's only been more than ten minutes!"
"Fifteen minutes." Ye Ning waved her bracelet. "The plant elements here are very abundant. Add the green stone and it will sprout in no time."
The researchers were eager to go forward and check the situation immediately.
They all looked at Hou Sen, and waited for him to nod slightly before rushing over.
"Oh my god, they're really sprouting!"
"These are S-grade seeds, 100 seeds, a full 100 seeds, and they all sprouted in just fifteen minutes!"
Another researcher immediately took the instrument and carefully examined it. "The vitality and energy are very abundant. It is of top-level S-grade quality!"
"This seed even grew roots!"
"This, can I take it and study it now?!"
…
Seeing the process of Ye Ning sprouting with their own eyes made everyone feel relieved.
In the face of top-level talent, all doubts are so vulnerable!
Everyone even began to rejoice that they were the ones chosen this time. What could be more fortunate and honored than being by the side of a master of plant therapy who possessed such top-notch talent?
There is no doubt that any plant researcher who misses the opportunity to work with such a top-notch talented plant therapist will regret it for the rest of his life!
Hou Sen looked at Ye Ning and asked considerately, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest first?"
Ye Ning shook her head and said, "Teacher, can we turn the soil before planting the seeds?"
Turn the soil? Hou Sen was a little surprised, but he said, "Of course, but this soil is specially formulated for seedlings, and the soil is very loose."
It is indeed very good. The common loose seedling soil contains a lot of coconut coir, peat and humus. Obviously, there are no such things in this world, but the soil can be made so loose. It must have taken a lot of extra effort to achieve it.
Ye Ning couldn't think of a particularly suitable reason, so she could only say, "I just felt that if I could turn the soil before planting them, they would be more comfortable and grow faster."
"Turn it over! Let me do it! How do you want me to do it?" After hearing this, the researcher in the nursery immediately ran over excitedly.
I feel like this thing is the most mysterious. Since the plant therapist said so, she must have a point! It's just turning the soil, no trouble at all!
"I bought a shovel. Use my shovel." Ye Ning hurried out and asked Shao Yu to get the shovel.
The shovel that she asked Mu Yan to buy for her on the bracelet last time has arrived, so she brought it directly.
Mu Yan's purchases were hidden in her closet. No one would enter her room when she was not there. When she was there, they would not touch her things, so she felt relieved to hide them in the closet.
Ye Ning handed the shovel to the researcher and said, "You can turn the soil as much as you want, but make sure you turn all the soil over."
In fact, there is really no special skill involved. The quality of the soil is already very good. It’s mainly because the shovel has a bonus, and Ye Ning doesn’t want to waste it.
As for the watering can, she really had to water the plants herself.
After the researcher received the shovel handed over by Ye Ning, he weighed it twice and found that the quality was unexpectedly good.
He took the shovel and began to turn the soil easily.
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but it seemed that after turning the soil over from beginning to end, the soil quality really seemed to have become a little better?
Fortunately, the changes in the primary shovel were not obvious, otherwise Ye Ning would not dare to ask them to help turn the soil directly.
Hou Sen, watching from the side, suddenly realized that sometimes, expertise really can't compete with talent. But because of this, he had to work harder to improve his knowledge. Otherwise, how could he have the nerve to call himself Ye Ning's teacher?
While the scene was busy and lively here, Yalin also met with Heyang.
