Chapter 33 Chapter 33 is emitted from her body...
Gaojiang District directly claimed that these products contained S-level plants, and even included pictures of lush and vigorous mint!
Like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, it instantly stirred up a turbulent wave. A heated discussion immediately erupted online.
@明星峰: Are you kidding me?! This is an S-grade plant, and they're actually willing to put it in their product and sell it to us?!
@欧周人: This seems to be something they bought at a big auction in the Northern Continent, but I remember they only got one. How come there are so many leaves here? Did the plant therapists in Gaojiang District make a breakthrough?
@百谷咕咕: Of course, there are, otherwise how could there be so many, and these S-level plants are so lush and dense. Help! I've only seen pictures of plants this lush in museums.
@29839: I just read the introduction, which says that this is mint. As long as it is soaked in water, the mint oil in the stems and leaves will automatically evaporate into the water, giving the water its scent.
@拒向天歌: They have already conducted experiments in the Xisha area. They said that if you drink this water or nutrient solution directly, you can feel the purification effect immediately. I will go and try it first!
@是世界杯不金鱼: Don’t try, they’ve all been bought out by the empire.
…
Peppermint water comes in three price ranges, primarily based on concentration. Regardless of concentration, you'll enjoy a refreshing, rich mint flavor. However, even the lowest-priced version is ten times the price of regular purified water. But looking at the image of an S-grade plant on the packaging, it doesn't seem that expensive.
Almost as soon as the new products were released in Gaojiang District, all the mint water, mint nutrient solution, and other mint-related derivatives were quickly sold out. Scalpers even drove prices of these products to exorbitant levels.
The newsletter of the Gaojiang District Chief's Office was almost bombarded with inquiries. People from all walks of life came forward, and even competitors who had originally had a bad relationship with them asked in a friendly tone whether Gaojiang District could sell them S-level plants.
All product research in Gaojiang District is conducted in the Ye Ning cultivation room. All plants are also processed here to ensure that no plant forms can be seen before being shipped to Gaojiang District.
The only contact person for these matters was Hou Sen. Although the process was a bit troublesome, it could maintain the greatest possible confidentiality.
Even the other researchers in Gaojiang District were unaware of the specific details. They only knew that a group of researchers had disappeared, and then, in a short period of time, Gaojiang District had a plethora of new research findings and products containing plant elements!
As for the mint picture that was published, it was a special suggestion made by Ye Ning.
After all, seeing is believing. No matter how much you tell them there are plants, it is not as shocking and convincing as letting them see the plants with their own eyes.
The human brain is naturally endowed with the ability to associate and imagine. As long as plants are displayed, people will naturally imagine.
More than just convincing, those mints that only appeared for a few seconds were instantly screenshotted and forwarded by everyone, causing quite a stir.
That’s a mint plant with more than twenty leaves!
It must be that the plant therapists in Gaojiang District made a new breakthrough, which has led to such great progress in their plant research.
This would also explain why they suddenly rejected Yan Gang at that time.
Their own plant therapist can grow such lush plants, so there is no need to look for Yan Gang again.
At this time in the Dongxing District, everyone's face was covered with dark clouds and gloom.
What is placed on the table is the new product launched by Gaojiang District.
As early as when Gaojiang District had an ambiguous attitude, neither accepting nor rejecting Yan Gang, everyone felt a little strange. Now, seeing with their own eyes that Gaojiang District had successfully cultivated so many S-level plants, shock and unwillingness were like a tide, completely drowning them.
Everyone's mood hit rock bottom. They were shocked by the strength and achievements of Gaojiang District, but also upset that they failed to seize the initiative.
It was just a little bit short, just a little bit short of completely suppressing Gaojiang District.
How could the plant therapist from Gaojiang District, who clearly had no talent, suddenly grow so many S-rank plants?!
Or maybe they have made a technological breakthrough and developed a new planting technique?!
"It's also possible that the S-level plant itself is quite special." The professor beside the East Star District Chief said after thinking for a while.
The head of the East Star Research Institute immediately frowned and asked, "Have you found the source of that S-level plant?"
The person next to him shook his head. "Auctions in the Northern Continent have always been kept strictly confidential. Even if the Federation sent someone to inquire, they would never reveal their origins."
"But now, the only known plant therapists who can grow S-level plants, besides Yan Gang, are the pure human from the Wandering Orc Alliance."
If it was a wandering orc, it would be even more impossible to find it.
The orcs of the Wandering Orc Alliance have no unified organizational structure. They usually operate in teams or packs. Each team or pack has its own leader and rules.
Moreover, they have neither a fixed residence nor a clear territory, and their identities and whereabouts are virtually unknown. More importantly, they are profit-driven, focusing solely on money. Today, a group of wandering orcs can cooperate with the Federation to fight the rebels for money. Tomorrow, another group of wandering orcs can join forces with the rebels to fight the Federation.
"You're all just a bunch of trash." The head of the East Star District spoke with an inexplicable mixture of irritation and anger. He raised his voice and said with great dissatisfaction, "All the pure humans in Gaojiang District have been poached, and the S-rank plants grown by Yan Gang were given priority to you, along with all the information provided by the Capital District. And what's the result?!"
"After all these years, nothing has been discovered!"
Outside the door, a man holding a bracelet hurried over, "District Chief, the Capital District Chief wants to see you."
The head of Dongxing District's face changed drastically. He quickly walked over and picked up the bracelet, "Brother, it's me, it's me."
"Yes, yes, we are aware of this matter and are discussing countermeasures."
…
His voice faded away, and the professor sitting next to him picked up the unfinished bottle of mint water on the table and drank it all.
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help themselves and picked up the water bottles in front of them. After drinking the last one, they still looked at the bottle with unsatisfied eyes.
*
Gaojiang District’s products are selling well, so naturally they are not stingy in giving benefits to the researchers. Everyone received a considerable amount of income today.
Moreover, they and their families can enjoy better treatment in Gaojiang District, so researchers in Gaojiang District can devote themselves wholeheartedly to scientific research without any worries.
As soon as Ye Ning arrived, she discovered that everyone was in high spirits today and the entire planting room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
When they saw Ye Ning, they couldn't help but share with her the good news that the product was selling well.
Ye Ning nodded. She should be able to feel the sales of those products better than anyone else present.
Because all the plant sales in Gaojiang District gave her a certain percentage of dividends, so as Gaojiang District's products were snapped up crazily, the balance in her account also began to rise at an extremely terrifying rate.
Furthermore, her pollution absorption rate also began to slowly increase. Although the speed was very slow, it was still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I feel that if I grow a few more batches and sell them, it will soon reach 1%.
Ye Ning had also drunk the diluted water. If they hadn't added mint flavor to it, she really couldn't tell the difference between it and ordinary water.
But for the orcs here, it seems to work very well. Even the most diluted water makes them feel very comfortable after drinking it.
Fortunately, she had reserved a batch for the orphaned cubs in advance, otherwise, given today's situation, there would be no left.
"Watermelon is delicious too. If we make a watermelon-flavored nutrient solution, it will definitely be popular with children."
"Yes, there are still a lot of watermelons left. We will study how to make that taste later."
"Unfortunately, watermelons take too long to grow. If you want to grow them on a large scale, it's not cost-effective to do it indoors."
In comparison, mint is the most efficient.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little regretful. Although they had only tasted a fingernail's worth of watermelon yesterday, that sweet and refreshing taste had already been deeply engraved in everyone's taste buds.
Ye Ning thought about it and said, "Not really. Although it takes longer to grow than plants like Lala grass and mint, a single watermelon seed can produce many vines and watermelons, and everything that grows can be used."
Speaking of watermelon, Ye Ning suddenly thought of watermelon frost.
She searched with her bracelet and found that there was indeed a record of it. She showed the watermelon frost and said, "Watermelon rind can be mixed with saltpeter to make watermelon frost, which can also clear away heat and detoxify."
Ye Ning was right. If you think about it this way, growing watermelons on a large scale is indeed very feasible. Thinking of that sweet taste, one of the researchers couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "Professor Hou is currently researching how to use these plants medicinally. Yesterday's watermelon rind is still here, so it's a good opportunity for him to study it!"
Hou Sen has been so busy these past two days that he has barely been seen.
Ye Ning nodded, thinking of the strawberries that had finished blooming and were about to bear fruit, and said, "Strawberries are also delicious. They are sour and sweet, and have a special fragrance."
Although she doesn't like to eat sour strawberries, she likes the smell of sour strawberries, which is not so sweet.
After Ye Ning said this, the researchers immediately became excited and looking forward to it.
After saying goodbye to them, Ye Ning quickly completed her watering task, and then pulled Gu Yu outside.
There was still a strong wind outside, and the sky was full of sand. The area ten meters away began to blur.
The wind and sand today seem to be even stronger than yesterday.
Gu Yu stood at the door and asked Ye Ning, "Do you want me to hold you?"
Ye Ning shook her head and grabbed the hem of Gu Yu's clothes, "Just let me hold you."
He was holding the shovel and watering can for her.
It was when she was about to pull him that Ye Ning discovered that there was an extra strap at the bottom of his clothes. If she pulled the strap, the height would be just right.
Ye Ning pulled the straps and tried them again. Not only was the height just right, but the size was just right, about the distance of her hand, just a little bit. It was really very smooth, she hadn't noticed it yesterday.
When Ye Ning looked up, she saw Gu Yu looking at her tenderly with a smile on his face.
"Just right." Ye Ning also smiled at him.
Gu Yu nodded and said, "Let's go."
He walked in front of Ye Ning and pushed open the door.
Ye Ning followed behind him and was not blown by the wind and sand at all.
In this kind of weather, Feng Qi still has to go to and from school every day. Sometimes Ye Ning thinks about it and admires her very much.
She waited for a whole day, but the soil grade in the information column was still F. Ye Ning thought that maybe the soil here was too poor, and just an amendment was not enough.
But she didn't have many gold coins left, so it was best not to spend them if she could. So she wanted to see if there were any other ways to improve the soil.
The tranquility within the planting box was in stark contrast to the wind and sand outside. If Gu Yu hadn't been shielding her from the strong wind, she might have been blown away.
Ye Ning opened the planting box and squeezed the sand inside. Yesterday's improvements had worked. It was different. Although the sand was still falling, it had already clumped up a bit.
While using her special abilities, Ye Ning poured a lot of water with a watering can, and then shoveled the soil over and over again with a shovel.
She told Baiqing yesterday that she had introduced other elements into it, but it was just a casual remark.
But she thought about it again when she got home that night and felt that it might not be impossible.
Her special ability can promote plant growth and also has a certain healing effect.
If it can work on humans, it seems that it can also work on the bacterial flora.
There are already bacterial communities here that are suitable for plant growth. For the bacterial communities to be active and grow, they need nutrients.
The normal source of nutrients should be some organic matter and minerals. Minerals are definitely in the nutrient solution. She can't produce organic matter immediately.
After much thought, it would be more reasonable to try using my supernatural powers directly.
Ye Ning used his special abilities at a steady pace without reservation.
Gu Yu was wearing protective clothing and felt that the air around him seemed to become cleaner and more comfortable.
He looked down at Ye Ning, with a gentle look between his eyebrows.
The cub is very small, but when it concentrates, it is more focused than many adults.
It seemed that nothing in the environment could easily affect her.
It is precisely because she can concentrate so hard on growing plants that so many orcs can be saved and cured in the Xisha District.
He also heard from Mu Yan that after they went to school, she even bought some mint water for the children. She was obviously a child herself.
He also knew about E Chen's situation. There were many orphans like him in the Xisha area. His parents had died directly on the battlefield. If they could come back alive, this time, perhaps they could be saved by Ye Ning.
But the next second, Gu Yu suddenly looked up.
His eyes fell on the reflective glass window.
This time, Long Qi did not look away.
Gu Yu frowned slightly, took a step forward, changed the angle, and completely blocked Ye Ning.
Ye Ning also felt it, but she had shown her sharp reaction last time, so this time she was mentally prepared and able to control her reaction. Gu Yu was right behind her, and if she turned around, it would be too abrupt.
Moreover, this place is right under Long Qi's window.
She was working on the outdoor plants downstairs; anyone else would have been curious. But he was just upstairs, watching through the window, and only glanced occasionally, which was already a very restrained performance.
Unlike what Gu Yu thought, Long Qi's gaze fell directly on the planter box.
The green that had always appeared in his dreams was now spreading throughout the planter box. Rich and even, even from a distance, he could sense it the moment it emanated.
It emanated from her body.
Long Qi lowered his eyelashes, and his red eyes were extremely charming in his cold expression.
Heyang said that she had a great talent for planting.
She is indeed different from other pure humans.
Gu Yu faced that strong gaze and gradually felt a sense of pressure in his heart.
He could clearly feel that Long Qi was standing behind the glass, watching what was happening here.
Hasn't Long Qi always hated pure humans? Why would he stand here specifically to look at Ye Ning?
Le Song also told him that Long Qi had seen Ye Ning. Could it be that he had done the same thing last time, standing upstairs and watching her?
What is he thinking now?
As the district chief said, Long Qi did not really do anything out of line, and the plant therapist who testified against Long Yu at the time was not harmed at all.
However, Gu Yu still had reservations about letting Long Qi stay near Ye Ning.
Ye Ning was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a while, she got used to it.
She returned her attention to the soil in front of her.
She could sense that her ability was also somewhat effective in affecting the soil. "Promotion" could indeed be reflected in many aspects.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Ning finally heard the system prompt sound.
【Congratulations, you have successfully completed the soil improvement and preparation task. 】
[Soil rating: E (very poor). The soil quality has improved slightly, but you still need to continue to improve it to ensure plant growth.]
[Task Reward: Primary Fertilizer*1.]
Ye Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she failed, she would really have to spend another hundred gold coins to buy some soil improver.
She clicked on the item column of the mall, and sure enough, primary fertilizer appeared there, still priced at the same 100 gold coins.
【Task 3: Plant planting and observation.】
[Task Description: Successfully plant and observe the growth of plants, and record the data in detail.]
[Task Reward: Primary Adaptation Seed Enhancement Pack*1.]
Primary Adaptation Seed Enhancement Pack? Ye Ning asked Little Mushroom.
The little mushroom immediately explained proudly, "It's just a package, but there will be a lot of rewards inside. There should be seeds and other special items."
Ye Ning nodded.
She understood that this step was to collect various data through her planting in order to upgrade seeds that could better adapt to the environment here!
If we use manpower to screen the seeds, we don’t know when we can screen out seeds that can adapt to the environment here. The system is really great!
Ye Ning praised the little mushroom without hesitation.
As she spoke, she took out the Welwitschia seeds as well.
She was originally debating whether to germinate it inside or let it germinate naturally outside. She wanted to let it germinate naturally outdoors because she wanted to cultivate its ability to adapt to the environment.
But now, since the system will reward seeds that adapt to the environment, she doesn't need to worry about this anymore.
Gu Yu was right next to her. Ye Ning placed the green stone beside her, then held the seeds in her hands and began to germinate.
Ye Ning quickly understood what the description of the Welwitschia meant.
The words "rare, extremely difficult to germinate" were truly true. She tried to germinate the seeds using ten, even fifteen times the amount of energy she had used to germinate them indoors, but still nothing happened.
It was not until she used fifty times her supernatural power, which could almost make the plants in the grow room grow one section taller, that the Welwitschia finally broke out of its shell.
Tiny cracks on the seed shell slowly spread out, and a force gushed out from the inside of the seed, revealing a tiny white tip!
Ye Ning almost felt that it was cuter than all the seedlings she had ever seen in this world!
In the early stages of Welwitschia cultivation, it cannot be exposed to too much water, but it must be kept moist.
Baiqing has already added a central control system, but there is no precedent for growing Welwitschia in Gaojiang District, so even if there is a system, it needs to be continuously optimized.
However, she also has a manual for using plants.
It just comes in handy now.
After Ye Ning placed the Welwitschia in the soil, she opened the manual and followed the prompts to move the manual to the Welwitschia in her hand.
Welwitschia:
Health: 80% (good)
Hydration status: 150% (abnormally sufficient)
Nutritional status: 30% (severe lack of fertilizer)
Pest control: 0% (no pests)
Light satisfaction: 60% (insufficient light)
Temperature suitability: 50% (has a certain impact on growth)]
This place shouldn't be vulnerable to pollution or attacks from wild animals. Long Qi is nearby, so those species probably won't dare approach.
Ye Ning absolutely believed in his deterrent power. After all, when they first met, he was so badly injured, but he was still able to exude such a strong pressure.
Ye Ning took out a handkerchief and sucked the moisture from the soil under the Welwitschia seedlings.
The water content dropped little by little, and only when it reached 100% did Ye Ning stop.
Others, planting boxes can alleviate a certain degree of temperature difference between day and night, but since they are planted outdoors, there is no need to completely block the temperature difference. So they controlled the temperature difference between day and night at 40 degrees, which is better than the most extreme time outdoors.
But the nutritional status is not very good.
Ye Ning added the primary fertilizer she had just obtained.
[Primary fertilizer: This is a carefully formulated primary fertilizer. After use, it can accelerate plant growth to a certain extent, enhance the plant's disease resistance and stress resistance, and enable the plant to grow healthily.]
After using Ye Ning, I saw that the nutritional status became 50% (lack of fertilizer).
In other words, primary fertilizers can only increase the nutritional value by 20%.
But it’s okay. If you plant it in yellow sand, then the yield will be 0.
Last night, Ye Ning asked Bai Qing to teach her how to use the robot. After Ye Ning operated the robot for a while, the robot immediately began to observe and record.
Finally it was done. Ye Ning closed the planting box and stood up.
Her hands were a little dirty, so she didn't pull Gu Yu anymore, but said directly: "I have already planted it."
Ye Ning has already dealt with these matters.
But Long Qi's gaze remained.
Gu Yu let out a breath of foul air.
After Ye Ning washed her hands with the kettle, she picked up the kettle and said, "Let's go. We can go back now."
"I'll hold you." Gu Yu squatted down, smiled at her, picked her up, and left.
Ye Ning leaned on his shoulder in confusion, and keenly noticed that Gu Yu's mood seemed to be a little off.
On the other side, Ye Ning's seeds were finally delivered to the hands of pure humans in Gaojiang District.
