Chapter 79 Chapter 79 "Hello everyone, I am Ye Ning."...
On the day of the visit, Ye Ning got up very early.
Hou Lin was a little surprised to see her get up so early.
"The tour starts at nine, and it's only six now. Why are you up so early?" Hou Lin leaned over and whispered, "Are you also too nervous to sleep?"
Also? Ye Ning looked at him, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Hou Lin nodded.
He didn't know why, it was Ye Ning who was going to make an appearance, but he was extremely nervous.
She worried that someone might continue to attack Ye Ning online, and then she worried about rebels mingling with the crowd and planning to attack her. She spent the entire night running through countless hypotheses.
Ye Ning patted his shoulder and said, "I'm going to be very busy today. I definitely won't have time to exercise in the afternoon, so I want to exercise in the morning."
"Are you still energetic, or do you want to take a nap?"
Hou Lin:?
"Didn't you say you developed a new weapon for me? I want to take a look."
Hou Lin: ???
Hou Lin finally went to the training ground with Ye Ning. Everyone else was there except him.
The most important thing in Xisha District now is the visit day.
But with more people comes more potential danger. All security equipment in the Xisha area has been comprehensively upgraded, and from the periphery to the planting area, there are seven or eight checkpoints. Even so, people are still not entirely reassured.
So today, Long Qi is also here, ready to stay by Ye Ning's side all day.
Ye Ningzha trained hard for an hour and a half, then lay in the rest cabin for twenty minutes. After he recovered, he checked his new weapon.
The new weapon is an extremely beautiful ring, made of a special metal that is both light and strong. The surface is inlaid with a micro-carved pattern of the "Source of Life". It looks like a beautiful and simple decorative item.
However, it uses high-density micro-technology, which can store a large amount of powdered substances. It is waterproof and moisture-proof and can be preserved for a long time without deterioration.
"Look, it's equipped with a micro-nozzle and high-pressure spray system. It can eject the stored powder in the form of high-speed, fine particles in a short period of time. You can adjust the spray range yourself, but it's limited to close range, ranging from a few centimeters to several meters."
It contained three types of chili powder: Carolina Reaper, Dragon's Breath, and Trinidad Scorpion Butch T. These three peppers were so terrifying that the lab workers were fully armed, wearing protective suits and masks, while picking and grinding them. Ye Ning said that smelling these peppers could cause fainting, and tasting them could be fatal.
Afterwards, they also tried it on pollutants, and the effect was indeed very good. Although it didn't kill the pollutants, it caused them to distort wildly. Eyes that came into contact with the chili powder had blood vessels dilated wildly, causing instant redness, swelling, and blindness.
Even pollutants appear to be so painful, let alone being used on normal orcs.
In addition, the researchers mixed poisonous mushroom spores and nerve paralysis agents into the drug. Once inhaled or in contact with the skin, it can quickly interfere with the victim's nervous system, causing muscle weakness, slowed movements, and even temporary paralysis.
Furthermore, to suppress the smell of these things, they also added a high concentration of mint extract. Plants are always attractive to orcs, and with mint as a cover, it will be difficult for orcs to set up defenses. Furthermore, to prevent misuse, Ye Ning's biometric information is required to activate it.
It can be said that the ring looks ordinary, but in fact it is a biological killer.
"It's better not to use this unless it's absolutely necessary."
Ye Ning nodded and put the ring on her little finger.
She waved it in front of everyone and said, "It looks pretty good."
Le Song nodded quickly, "It looks good."
Gu Yu looked at the time, "There's still an hour left."
Ye Ning took back the ring and said, "I'm going to take a shower. We'll be ready to go soon."
Xisha District Planting Room.
The night before, many people had gathered near the planting area. Inside, all the robots used for live broadcasting and filming had already entered the area and found their positions.
At six o'clock in the morning, the Xisha District officially began the security check and release process.
In order to ensure the user experience, only one person is allowed to enter per ID. Even if planting is done in team mode, only one person can be selected to enter.
They set up seven or eight checkpoints, and all metal objects on people entering were removed except for wristbands.
The Xisha District also arranged necessary disinfection procedures, requiring everyone to enter the disinfection room for disinfection before entering the area near the planting room.
Although it is a cumbersome process, it is also a necessary one because people from different geographical regions or engaged in different planting activities are very likely to carry pathogens that are not found in the local area.
Those pathogens may be attached to clothing, shoes, or items carried. Once they enter the growing area, they may be transmitted to animals and plants in the growing area through direct or indirect contact, causing disease outbreaks.
Among the top 100, it is almost certain that they are all leaders in the field of planting on Sea Dust Star, so we must be on guard in advance.
The water used to disinfect and purify them was high-concentration mint water, and Ye Ning had added some special powers into it in advance.
Wandering in the disinfection room filled with the scent of plants, people who were originally a little dissatisfied with the complicated inspection process became reluctant to leave the disinfection room in the end.
The Ecological Restoration Research Institute, which Ye Ning planned to open, was located near the planting room. Currently, it only had a dozen researchers from the Xisha and Gaojiang districts, making it quite sparsely staffed. However, the entire institute was meticulously constructed, built to the highest standards. The Gaojiang district institute was even slightly inferior to this one.
They have already prepared a conference hall that can accommodate hundreds of people to accommodate the visiting players.
Every corner of the conference room is neatly arranged with a variety of green plants, from tall ferns to delicate tabletop pots, all of which are lush and green. Especially after being watered in the morning, the water droplets still on the leaves look crystal clear.
On the side, they also used lotus flowers to create a natural and elegant scene.
Emerald green lotus leaves float gently on the water, and the lotus flowers are either tightly wrapped in bud, half hidden under the leaves; or have already fully bloomed, with layers of white and pink petals, exuding the fresh scent unique to lotus.
The light above the head is also designed very carefully. The soft light shines through the gaps between the lotus leaves and petals, casting light and shadows on the ground. A beautiful and peaceful atmosphere permeates the air.
If you don’t know what this is, just look at the plant introduction next to it and you will understand.
The onlookers wanted to say something, but they didn't want to ruin the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. After taking pictures with their wristbands, they sat down in their seats.
There is no purification equipment in the entire conference hall, but the hundreds of plants here are hundreds of times more powerful than any purification equipment.
Such a precious plant is not only placed on the road, but also displayed so luxuriously and casually indoors, which has raised everyone's expectations for today's visit.
Someone looked at the water next to the seat, picked it up and took a sip casually.
But as soon as they took a bite, someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked over immediately.
The man raised the water in his hand and said, "It's a very high concentration of mint water. It has a very good purification effect."
I don’t know how they did it, but the purification effect is even better than just soaking mint in water.
Upon hearing this, someone immediately opened the bottle of water next to him.
As soon as they took a sip, everyone instantly felt the ultimate sense of purification.
“This water is much better than the water sold on the market.”
"I guess there's a lot of mint in it."
"The Xisha region has become like this in just a few months. I'm increasingly looking forward to Master Ye Ning."
…
Everyone has a bottle of high-concentration mint water on hand. These are specially prepared for today, with a plant-based content far exceeding any similar products sold on the market, and they will be provided free of charge in unlimited quantities today.
Today's visit brought together almost all the top minds in the planting industry. They included top professors from renowned research institutes, representatives from large financial conglomerates, and representatives from large families. Of course, members of grassroots planting organizations with exceptional planting skills, as well as ordinary plant enthusiasts, were also present.
After the top 100 were determined, the tickets were sold at sky-high prices in the last three days, but until today, no one has sold a ticket.
Everyone wants to be the first to witness the 2,000 square meter planting area in Xisha District.
In addition to the players who are allowed to visit the site, there are also many orcs from other districts in the urban area of Xisha District.
Because the Xisha District took this opportunity to vigorously prepare and promote a series of tourism projects.
A large desert botanical park was directly built in the Xisha District. The core tourist area is a 1:1 replica of the 100-square-meter ecological restoration area planted by Ye Ning before.
In other places, plants such as cacti, agave, saxaul, and Calligonum can be seen everywhere on the road.
However, these are temporarily transplanted, but no matter what, they are plants grown outdoors.
There is not only a popular science exhibition area that displays relevant knowledge such as the ecological habits of desert plants, but also many interactive experience projects, such as plant planting, plant treasure hunting, plant tasting and other theme activities, as well as various desert adventure games centered around plants.
During the month of visiting days, tickets are half price for everyone to visit.
The residents of the garbage area who had been trained in advance finally had their place to use their skills. Service staff from various catering, specialty handicrafts, and hotel and tourism industries all took up their new positions and adapted to their new careers.
Although the money is not much, it provides food and accommodation, a stable income, and a clean environment, which is much better than picking up trash in dirty garbage dumps.
Those who are cunning, lazy and greedy have long been picked out and assigned to other positions. The rest are all obedient and hardworking.
The smiles on everyone's faces were genuine, sincere and warm, which greatly increased the favorability of people from other districts towards the people of Xisha District.
After taking a shower, Ye Ning changed into a lavender protective suit.
Purple is a mixture of red and blue. It has the warmth of red and the calmness of blue. It is neither too flashy nor too dull.
Ye Ning didn't choose it in advance, but when she was about to change clothes, she suddenly felt that the color was very suitable.
She also hung all the badges given by the system on her chest.
In fact, there are only three totem badges: "Seed Explorer", "Ecological Planter" and "Source of Life".
After Ye Ning was hung up, the little mushroom was very happy.
[Ningning, everyone can see our badge now!]
The little mushroom had put a lot of effort into making this game. Ye Ning couldn't help but rubbed it, "You are really awesome, everyone is attracted by you."
The little mushroom shook his head, "It's because you planted so many plants that people wanted to come and see them."
[Once this mission is over, you'll be able to control the weather, and then you'll be able to absorb even more pollutants!]
Moreover, with so many people coming today and various live broadcasts, the publicity effect will definitely be super good!
It was so cute, Ye Ning rubbed it again.
Ye Ning left the room only after kneading it until it was almost deformed.
At the door, everyone was waiting for her.
On the left were Gu Yu, Le Song and the others. Long Qi was standing alone in the corner of the door, and Xilos was also standing at the door.
Everyone was dressed in new clothes and looked clean and neat. Even Hou Lin changed into new clothes with the Gaojiang District logo.
Xiluosi had never seen Ye Ning wearing purple before, "This color suits you very well."
Le Song nodded quickly, "Ye Ning looks good in anything she wears."
Ye Ning smiled at them and said, "Let's go, it's time to set off."
After they got on the bus, dozens of orcs wearing protective clothing and holding heavy weapons also got on the bus in an orderly manner.
Such a luxurious lineup of vehicles instantly attracted the attention of passers-by.
"Fuck, is Master Ye Ning in there?"
"It must be inside, otherwise who else could have such a luxurious display."
"I heard that as long as you get close to Lady Ye Ning, you can smell the scent of plants on her. I think I smell it. Lady Ye Ning must be in the third car!"
“I think the last car has the strongest plant aroma!”
…
They all guessed wrong. Ye Ning's car took another route that was a bit farther but not congested, and was not in this convoy at all.
Although there is no traffic jam, there are still many people on the road.
Ye Ning was looking at the next process information.
Today's visit was not just hers; others had put in a lot of effort, so she couldn't perform too poorly.
Hou Lin looked out the window and said, "Fortunately, Xisha District planned the routes in advance, otherwise the traffic volume in the past few days would have directly blocked Xisha District."
If everyone is really blocked outside, someone will definitely go crazy.
Le Song nodded and said, "I have to thank you all for this. The district chief invited many people from Gaojiang District to help."
Hou Lin: "We've paid, and we're all partners. But you should thank Ye Ning the most. Without her, we wouldn't be cooperating with the Xisha District."
In fact, he'd heard that the supporters from Xisha District were quite pleased. Although the district was underdeveloped in many areas, they listened to suggestions without much hesitation, following the plans given, and were very respectful of the people sent from Gaojiang District. Consequently, those who came to support felt a great sense of accomplishment, and their emotional value was completely maximized.
Xiluosi looked at the badges hanging on Ye Ning's chest and said, "These three badges are quite unique."
Hou Lin: "Those are the achievement badges and totem symbols in the game. They were designed by Ye Ning herself. They are really beautiful."
Hou Lin thought about it and decided to pin the totem badge of "Source of Life" on his clothes.
Le Song quickly asked, "Are there any more? I want to hang one too."
Hou Lin took out a box and said, "I left it in the car before, take it if you want."
Everyone took one and pinned it on their chest, even Silos took one.
In the end, only Long Qi was left without one.
Everyone was wearing it, and I didn’t know whether Long Qi wanted to wear it or not, but it didn’t seem right not to ask him.
Le Song handed the box over hesitantly, "Long Qi, do you want it?"
He was still wearing all black today, leaning back in his chair, looking cold and distant.
The air suddenly became quiet. Ye Ning looked up and said, "You don't have to wear them like me. I wear them because I really like these badges."
Le Song smiled brightly and sunny, "Whatever Ye Ning likes, I like too."
So cute, she really likes Le Song’s smile. Every time she sees him smile like this, she feels very relaxed.
Maybe because he was used to kneading the little mushroom just now, Ye Ning leaned over and rubbed his head.
Le Song was extremely happy and was completely intoxicated.
He was still holding the box of badges in his hand, and when he was about to put it away, Long Qi took one out and pinned it on his chest.
The black clothes, matched with the same silver green plant badge as everyone else, actually dissipated a lot of his aloofness.
Their car soon arrived near the planting area. Hou Lin sat in the front and rolled down the window, and the other party let them pass.
Feng Yue looked at the guard in front of him unhappily, "Why can they drive in directly without inspection?"
Someone nearby immediately questioned, "Yeah, it's such a long distance, with seven or eight security checks, and they still insist on making all of us get off the bus and walk in."
"These are all plant therapists from other districts. Is this how you, the people of Xisha District, treat pure humans from other districts differently?!"
Everyone was already very dissatisfied with the rule of getting out of the car and walking in. When they were reluctantly preparing to do so, they suddenly saw someone driving directly in, so their dissatisfaction instantly reached its peak.
But the orc guarding the door remained unmoved. "Sorry, the planting area has just been restored, and the ecology is still very fragile. Anyone entering must pass the security check and disinfection procedures."
"Why can they go in directly? Are the people inside more noble than pure humans?"
The leading orc glanced at him and said, "The one inside is our Xisha District's plant therapist."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of honor and pride.
"Master Plant Therapist of Xisha District", he never thought that these words would be uttered from his mouth one day!
Their Xisha area is also an area with pure humans!
As they were talking, a row of extremely luxurious-looking convoys arrived behind them.
The car stopped in the designated area, and a group of soldiers armed with heavy weapons got off the car one after another and soon lined up.
The two team leaders greeted each other, and dozens of people went in quickly.
"Why don't they have to go through security?!"
The orc leader said: "They have been following Lord Ye Ning all the time, and the pollutants inside and outside their bodies have been purified a lot. Naturally, they can enter directly."
"I'm very sorry, but if you are unwilling to abide by our rules, then we can't let you in."
The present state of Xisha District is all thanks to Lord Ye Ning.
Master Ye Ning is important, and so is his dedication. Even other pure humans would never surpass Master Ye Ning in the Xisha region. Therefore, no matter who is here today, there will be no exceptions.
Feng Yue: "The pure humans in the Xisha area are more impressive than us."
Gu Su glanced at her and said softly, "Master Feng Yue, the outdoor temperature in Xisha District is about to rise above 40 degrees. Why don't we go in first?"
"Yeah, don't stand here dawdling. The sun in the Xisha Islands is so strong." Another pure human fanned himself. "Check quickly. Don't waste my time."
…
Hou Lin retracted his gaze and said, "The group of people just now were pure humans from other districts."
Hearing this, Ye Ning glanced back and asked, "Are there many people here?"
She had heard Hou Lin tell her before that many pure humans wanted to come and study.
If they wanted to learn, she would definitely agree. They were all able to use their special abilities, and although their abilities were still in their infancy, they could help plants grow faster.
Hou Lin nodded, "More than twenty people came."
Hou Lin suddenly thought of something and said, "There's Lord Ye Ming's younger brother inside. The Capital District has determined that he is your uncle, so they sent him here specially."
"So many people came here, probably because they want to get in touch with you."
Pure humans are rare, so naturally they have their own camp.
Hearing this, Xiluos looked at Ye Ning and said, "If you can get along, then get along. If you can't, don't force yourself."
Ye Ning nodded, she thought so too.
Although they were all pure humans, she didn't have to force herself to fit in with their circle.
They originally lived in different places, far away from each other. It would be good if they could get along well, but if they couldn't, she would not waste time and energy trying to fit into the so-called "circle".
However, Ye Ning still said, "We need to make arrangements for everyone later."
Hou Lin: "Don't worry, we've already prepared everything. We'll definitely leave them speechless."
Inside the conference hall.
All the cameras have been set up, and the online live broadcast was also started five minutes before the official start.
All the large screens in the Xisha District were directly replaced with live footage of the visit.
The number of people watching the live broadcast soared wildly, and the barrage of comments scrolled wildly, leaving only afterimages.
"Fuck, is this about to start?"
"Where's Lord Ye Ning? How come he didn't seem to see it?!"
"It hasn't officially started yet, so it's definitely not out yet."
"Is this a conference hall? Oh my god, there are so many plants!"
…
After the Xisha District researcher came to the stage, he first gave an opening speech.
"Dear guests, hello everyone, welcome to Xisha District. First of all, on behalf of Lord Ye Ning, please allow me to express my warmest welcome and most sincere gratitude to everyone present here."
"Before introducing our planting areas, I'd like to take you through the history of plant extinction on Dust Planet... The Xisha region was the first area on Dust Planet to lose outdoor plants. The climate here is extremely harsh, and pollution levels are extremely high. But now, thanks to plants, both the environment and pollution levels in the Xisha region have improved significantly. During the most recent wave of pollution, we even used plants to successfully protect against a large amount of pollutants..."
Researchers directly use detailed data to demonstrate the improvements that plants have brought to the Xisha area.
"I'm in Xisha District now, and the environment there has really improved a lot."
"Yes, the last time I came here, I couldn't breathe without wearing the most advanced filtering mask, but this time it's obviously much better. I still need to plant more plants!"
"That's because Xisha District has become wealthy enough to spray mint water on the streets for purification. How could it not be clean?"
"That's because they have plants and money, and they're willing to do this for the people in the Xisha area. Isn't there a shortage of plants in the capital area? Why don't I see them spraying on the roads?"
"Wow, I don't know why I feel so moved seeing this data. I thought Dust Planet was really doomed. I didn't expect to see so many plants in my lifetime."
"Ms. Ye Ning is truly amazing. She has quietly done so much for Xisha District. The people of Xisha District and Gaojiang District are so lucky to have her support."
…
"Next, I would like to solemnly introduce to you the most important person today—Mrs. Ye Ning. The Xisha District Ecological Restoration Project and the development of the Source of Life app were both made successful under her leadership. Using her wisdom and exceptional planting talent, she led us through one obstacle after another, overcoming one problem after another, ultimately achieving something that no one had anticipated, believing would never be possible—"
Everyone held their breath and looked in the direction of the researcher's gaze.
Ye Ning walked slowly onto the stage and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Ning."
Everyone:!!!
