Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The sense of distance and uncertainty is gone...
"He protected the grow room and you guys, so I want to thank him."
This was something Ye Ning had planned long ago. In fact, they were neighbors, but she had not met him until now.
But since the other party has already provided them with substantial help, it would be very impolite to ignore or disregard the other party.
After Ye Ning finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
It wasn't that they cared about the three tomatoes, but if they gave them to Emperor Long, wouldn't they have to face Emperor Long? The thought of facing Long Qi head-on sent a chill down everyone's spine.
One researcher hesitated and said, "How about I put the tomatoes in a box and leave it at his door?"
Gu Yu took the initiative to say: "I'll go and take it."
Bai Qing added awkwardly, "Professor Hou said he was injured. I've prepared some plants, let's send them over as well."
Everyone was a little surprised, "Didn't the pollution tide recede quickly this time? How did he get hurt?
Emperor Dragon is so strong, why does he get injured every now and then?
Bai Qing pushed up his glasses. "It seems to be caused by pollutants."
Gu Yu nodded. "It was because he risked his life to release the effective toxin near the center of the pollution tide that it receded so quickly."
As expected of an Emperor Dragon, if they were to approach, they would likely lose their minds due to the high concentration of pollution. Everyone's scalps tingled at the thought of that scene.
Ye Ning pondered and asked, "Near the center, how far is it from the center?"
Gu Yu didn't expect Ye Ning to be curious about this. He explained softly, "It's still fifty kilometers away, but the pollution concentration there is already approaching the peak value of Level 6, and there are a lot of S-level pollutants."
Ye Ning: "Can't we use robots to spread the toxins?"
Hou Lin knew this, but he really couldn't.
Hou Lin: "The magnetic field near the pollutants is disordered, and it is impossible to control the robot to get close." Otherwise, Gaojiang District would have figured it out long ago.
Ye Ning nodded, "Then I'll go see him too. Is he back? Let's go now."
She was a little hesitant about whether to go and give it to him in person, but after hearing what Gu Yu said, she decided it would be better to go and see it in person.
She had learned about Emperor Long's power from all aspects and different places. To be able to get hurt, he must have encountered a very dangerous situation.
The effect of plants is definitely not as fast as her super powers. If his condition is also very bad this time, she will give him some more super powers.
Gu Yu immediately said, "No need, I'll go. Long Qi... doesn't like others getting close to him."
Bai Qing: "But on the day that Master Ye Ning left, he came in person to ask her where she had been."
At this point, the researchers nodded in agreement.
Hou Lin felt that Gu Yu was too nervous. He put his arm around Gu Yu's shoulders and said, "Master Ye Ning, if you want to go, just go. Wouldn't it be better to meet and cultivate some feelings? We all live nearby. If he really goes crazy, we won't be able to handle it. There's nothing to worry about."
After Bai Qing finished speaking, Ye Ning felt that she should go and see it herself. And it wasn't just her. Feng Qi had always been curious about what Long Qi next door looked like.
Ye Ning: "If he really hates me and doesn't want to see me, can I leave?"
Ye Ning had said this much, so Gu Yu naturally could not refute her anymore. He nodded and agreed.
They found a gift box, two layers in total. The top layer was filled with intact S-rank plants, and the center held the three large, bright red tomatoes. Knowing he was injured, Ye Ning had also added a few strawberries for garnish.
On the second layer, the researchers also placed watermelon and strawberry flavored nutrient solutions, mint water, and some other daily purifying products for the body. These were their latest developments and were not yet available on the market.
This gift box of plants and fruits can be said to be the highest standard gift in the world.
When Ye Ning finished the arrangement, several researchers came over and took turns taking pictures. "If this were made into gift boxes and sold, I wonder how many people would rush to buy it."
"How dare you imagine that so many plants of the highest quality, and so many of their fruits, would be priceless! This kind of thing only fits at an auction."
Ye Ning changed the orientation of the strawberries and arranged them beautifully, then said, "Actually, the most expensive ones here are the fruits of these plants."
Plants are not so rare anymore, but their fruits are still rare because the time and cycle to produce fruits are too long.
The fruits they produce now are extremely scarce. Ye Ning eats some of them, uses some for research, and the rest are not enough to be made into products to sell.
"I've seen a lot of beautiful candies in Gaojiang District, but none of them seem to resemble plant fruits. Could we make the strawberry-flavored nutrient solution into a solid form that looks like a real strawberry? This would look nice and have a purification effect."
"It can be made to look like real fruit, with a rich fruity aroma and a refreshing smell. You can put more plants inside to improve the purification effect, and then put real plants next to it."
The researcher working on product development nearby was excited by her words. "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? These strawberries and watermelons look so tempting. We can just make a fake fruit basket and let them freely choose the 'fruit' to add to the basket. Then they can have a basket of strawberries whenever they want."
Ye Ning continued to suggest, "There are also apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, dragon fruit... There are many, many fruits that can be made first. It doesn't matter if the taste is not right, as long as the plant concentration is higher."
It's not easy to grow these fruits, as it takes several years for the trees to grow. But since they don't have to use real ones, they can just do whatever they want.
The researcher next to him nodded repeatedly and wrote down everything Ye Ning said in detail.
After finishing the record, he couldn't help but feel excited. "Master Ye Ning, you left for a week. We were busy every day and didn't know what we were busy with. As soon as you came back, our minds started working."
Ye Ning laughed. "You've been working very hard, you should take a break once in a while. All the planting rooms in Gaojiang District are now open. If they can join the research, the progress will definitely be faster."
The researcher nodded, feeling a competitive sense of urgency.
"Let's go and see how to do it!" He stood up and ran back to the laboratory.
Ye Ning looked at the gift box and always felt that something was missing.
She suddenly thought that Long Qi seemed to have watched her planting plants through the window several times.
If she thought he was looking at her specifically, she would seem a bit narcissistic. Ye Ning felt that it was more likely that he was interested in plants.
She found a new flowerpot, looked around, and finally planted the mint in it.
Mint is easier to grow and not easily killed.
Ye Ning still used the shovel and watering can given by the system.
After shoveling a few times, she felt that the soil seemed to be more fertile. Fortunately, the soil in the laboratory was already very fertile, and others should not be able to see the difference with the naked eye.
Ye Ning watered it again. As soon as she finished watering, she felt that the mint seemed to have completely adapted to the soil, and there were even signs of sprouting.
She simply used her supernatural powers to help it grow a strong root system. As long as the root system was well developed, the plant wouldn't die so easily.
Ye Ning held the flower pot in her palm and said to Gu Yu and Hou Lin, "Let's go and see him."
Outside, it was completely dark. Thunder roared, each one deafening.
The rainstorm was washing the earth madly. A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the low sky, instantly illuminating the whole world and making the heavy rain reflect a silver luster.
Ye Ning suddenly thought of the Welwitschia orchid. She casually glanced at its condition. Fortunately, it seemed to be getting better day by day since it officially took root and sprouted, and it was no longer in the near-death state it was in before.
It seems that after adapting to the environment, the plants themselves will become very different.
Long Qi's house has not changed its shape, and the doors and windows are still exposed outside. If the house is in this state, you can hear the sounds outside clearly.
But his house was dark and there was no light.
In the pitch-black room, Long Qi slowly opened his eyes. His face was pale, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and his breathing was heavy. His fiery red eyes dimmed in the endless darkness.
Gu Yu knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
Ye Ning asked worriedly, "Will he fall into a coma because of the serious injuries?"
This was indeed a possibility. Gu Yu did not hesitate any longer and prepared to use the key given to him by He Yang to open the door.
But as soon as he brought the key close to the door, he felt a strong sense of pressure.
Just when Gu Yu thought that Long Qi would tell them to get out, the door suddenly opened.
He must have been injured and hadn't received treatment yet. He was wearing a black suit. He had an upright posture and long legs. The black shirt perfectly outlined his figure. The collar of the shirt was slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone.
The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.
There is no doubt that Long Qi is the most handsome person she has ever seen in this world.
His facial features were delicate and deep, with a high nose bridge and narrow eyebrows and eyes. However, his lips were thin, and his expressionless face seemed to be filled with indifference.
Those red eyes that should have looked extremely hot, now looked extremely cold. His whole person exuded an icy and cold aura that kept people at a distance.
Even so, Ye Ning and Hou Lin, who met him for the first time, were still quite shocked.
Hou Lin never imagined that the feared Emperor Dragon would appear like this. His eyes darted around, and for a moment he felt a little embarrassed to look at him.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly, and... the mint in her hand.
The coldness on Long Qi's face almost froze. It was different from their vague first encounter, different from observing through the window. The sense of distance and uncertainty vanished in this direct confrontation, replaced by an indescribable closeness and an unmistakable thrill and attraction.
He tried his best to ignore the inexplicable excitement in his body, but every beat of his heart was strong and clear. He almost had the illusion that his heartbeat was so strong that the people on the other side could clearly feel it.
He wanted her to leave and not appear in front of him again, but he couldn't utter a single word that he could have said easily.
Ye Ning blinked after feeling his strong and unignorable gaze and handed him the gift she had brought. "I heard that you were injured, so I wanted to come and see you. This is a gift for you."
She knew that he must be watching her planting plants from the window because he liked them.
Hou Lin trembled, forcing himself to hand over the gift box. "And this, she prepared this especially for you."
Curiosity killed the monkey. He would never come to see the Emperor Dragon out of curiosity again. Just standing next to him like this was a bit too much for him. This was simply the greatest contempt for his S-class orc status.
This is just one Emperor Dragon. If all the Emperor Dragon clan were here like they were back then... he had no doubt that the other orcs would tremble in fear and submit to the Emperor Dragon.
Ye Ning observed Long Qi carefully. He was wearing clothes and it was hard to tell where he was injured, but it was obvious that he was not in good condition.
Ye Ning used her special ability to cover his body, and said with a smile, "There are fruits and some plants in here. You can try them. If you like them——"
The next second, Long Qi retreated and closed the door.
He opened and closed the door without saying a word. Ye Ning and Hou Lin were both a little confused.
Gu Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Long Qi would do something extreme to Ye Ning because he hated pure humans. Even if he just said something excessive to her, it would be unacceptable. Now it seemed that Long Qi was able to restrain himself.
"He doesn't like others disturbing him without permission. We can just leave the things at the door."
Ye Ning nodded and placed the mint pot and gift box next to the door.
That way if he opens the door he won't knock these things over.
Ye Ning didn't say anything, but thinking of his not-so-good condition just now, she threw another ball of supernatural power at him.
She had just seen that his house was clean, clean in every sense of the word. There was nothing in it, no furniture, no other clutter. It was so empty that one could hardly feel the presence of anyone living there.
"Then let's go back first. Remember to eat those things. They will go bad quickly if left out."
The green that had only existed in his dreams once again truly descended upon him, and then gently and powerfully spread throughout his body, seeping into every corner of his body in a warm manner, gently sweeping through every cell in his body -
These plants and the ball of superpowers she threw should help him recover quickly, Ye Ning thought, said goodbye to him again, and then left.
The next day, Ye Ning got up early in the morning and went to the training room with Hou Lin again.
During the time she was in Gaojiang District, she didn't find any chance to exercise, and she had to plant crops quickly there, so she put it aside for the time being.
This release caused her to retreat for a few minutes.
Ye Ning was gasping for breath, feeling like her heart was about to jump out.
Hou Lin encouraged her, "Actually, you're already pretty impressive. Look at other pure humans, they definitely can't run as fast as you."
After Hou Lin said this, Ye Ning remembered that she had not added the physical enhancement method.
A strong physique is also very important for the improvement of superpowers, as it is the basis for the development and improvement of superpowers.
After Ye Ning finished, she sent this message to Hou Yu.
Hou Yu included this project in their compulsory courses without any hesitation.
Chongrong was hit hard these days, but when he thought about Ye Ning's serious words about his talent and Yan Gang's humiliation of him, he changed his laziness and persevered with all his might.
The first group of people who came here had already received a huge boost. Once the news spread, it quickly attracted more people to Gaojiang District.
Gaojiang District also directly started the construction plan of the second planting building.
In the planting room, Feng Yue watched Yan Gang operate his innate power again and again, but always failed. He couldn't help but say, "Okay, there's no one else here, why are you working so hard?"
She tried it casually, and a seed soon sprouted in her palm. Her eyes lit up slightly, and a look of joy appeared on her face again. "I don't know how they discovered these techniques. We, as pure humans, have never discovered them in all these years."
"And those seeds, you can easily grow S-level plants."
They have been here for several days and still find it a little unbelievable.
"From now on, it won't be about who can grow S-level plants, but who can grow more S-level plants."
A group of researchers walked in from outside.
Feng Yue stopped what she was doing and placed the newly sprouted sprouts in front of Yan Gang, looking at him with envy, "You are really amazing, you made these seeds sprout in no time."
*
Ye Ning germinated the seeds as usual and then handed the shovel to the researcher.
The researcher took Ye Ning's shovel and rubbed his face against the handle of the shovel again and again. "Yes, it is it. It's this familiar feeling!"
"You have no idea, during the week you were gone, every shovel I used felt wrong. The feel was completely different!"
Although in the planting room, you only need to turn over the super fertile and nutritious soil, Lord Ye Ning's shovel is different.
The researcher couldn't tell the specific difference, but he just felt that Ye Ning's was the best.
Ye Ning smiled and nodded, affirming: "I also think my shovel is the best."
After Ye Ning finished watering the plants, she took Bai Qing outside.
It was still raining heavily outside, but it did not affect their joyful mood at all.
This one hundred square meters of land is near Long Qi's house, and he can see it from the window.
When Ye Ning passed by his house, she took a special look and felt relieved only after she found that he had put those things into the house.
If he kept leaving things outside, she would take them back, after all, these fruits, vegetables and other things were very precious.
Then, I probably won’t send it to him again in the future.
But he accepted it now, which was a friendly signal to Ye Ning.
Ye Ning felt that, given his experience and upbringing, his dislike for contact was understandable. After all, it was difficult for him to tell whether others' kindness towards him was genuine or exploitative, or perhaps a mixture of genuineness and exploitation.
But even though she understood him, she couldn't spend too much time trying to understand him or guess his emotions.
Just like making friends, if you get along well with each other, then continue to interact; if not, then let nature take its course and she won't force it too much.
This 100-square-meter outdoor planting box is really huge, with an overall volume of 10*10*3 meters.
"The soil here has been improved to match the soil of the Welwitschia plant. We discovered some microbial flora in the soil of the Welwitschia plant. These flora attach to the roots of the Welwitschia plant and increase the organic matter content in the soil..."
Baiqing kept explaining to her about the construction of the planting box and the improvement of the soil.
Once the roots grow, a microbial community will condense underneath. However, the microbial community condensed by the roots of the Welwitschia is obviously different from that condensed by other indoor plants before.
It would be a waste of time to study how they appeared, so they simply found a way to cultivate them on a large scale and then placed them in nutrient solution.
It turns out that with the help of these microbial flora, the soil fertility is significantly higher.
Ye Ning listened to her progress explanation, nodding from time to time. Actually, this was a good idea. If they could research and grow those bacteria, they could save her the gold coins she would have to spend on soil conditioners.
"These are the improvements we've made to this planter box. Is there anything else that needs improvement?"
Ye Ning shook her head. "No need. You guys have done a great job."
"All that's left is to plant the plants and let them grow naturally."
The night before, Ye Ning had already replaced the seeds that were not from the mall with those from the mall.
Ye Ning walked in and put the seeds on the plant while watering it.
All her actions were very casual, but Bai Qing looked at her intently and took notes from time to time.
The rare seeds sent by the system were indeed very different. As soon as she planted them, she felt as if they were coming alive.
Ye Ning thought about it and decided to throw some supernatural power into the soil. There were already bacterial colonies in it, so if she fed them some supernatural power, it should help them grow better.
After all the seeds were planted, Ye Ning took out the environmental conditioning spray provided by the system.
She sprayed lightly.
【Environmental adjustment countdown: 00:30:00.】
The description says temporary, but this temporary is only half an hour. There are only three free times, which means an hour and a half.
Ye Ning sprayed all three times at once.
【Environmental adjustment countdown: 03:00:00.】
It turned out to be three hours.
Ye Ning bought three more uses, spending 300 gold coins.
After all are used, [Environmental adjustment countdown: 10:30:00. 】
That's almost enough, it should be enough to make them germinate?
The planting manual didn't seem to have all the functions available, but with so many plants in it, there was no need for her to use them all.
Ye Ning thought about it and simply ignored it.
She also took out the "Great Gardening" statue and placed it on the yellow sand.
I don’t know if it’s because she always buried the statues in the soil and seemed disrespectful to the gardeners, but the bonus probability doesn’t seem to be very obvious.
So Ye Ning decided to put it directly in the center this time.
Bai Qing saw the exquisite little statue and was a little curious about what it was.
"It's just a nice statue. I think putting it here will help the plants grow better."
Bai Qing nodded. She was already used to Ye Ning's feelings. Some things seemed to be impossible to explain scientifically, because her feelings were always accurate.
In fact, the scope of ecology is very large. In addition to species, it also includes species diversity, ecological balance, food chain, etc.
But the system only needs one ecological cycle goal, which makes it much simpler, because restoring vegetation and soil can also be considered an ecological cycle.
Ye Ning was working hard on outdoor planting here.
At the Xisha District Military Headquarters, Heyang met Xilos who came in person.
