Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Because You Are Purely Human
The second after Hou Sen and Lu Chuan exchanged glances, Lu Chuan stepped forward and shook his hand with joy and gratitude. "Professor Hou, thank you so much! I didn't expect Long Qi to recover to this state in just one night. Gaojiang District truly deserves to be the premier research area!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely recommend Gaojiang District's equipment to everyone, and Longqi is the best example!"
Lu Chuan's flurry of thanks froze Hou Sen's expression. After a moment, he pulled his hand away and asked questioningly, "What do you mean?!"
Lu Chuan seemed a little surprised by his reaction. "I'm really grateful to you. Without you, Long Qi would never have woken up so quickly."
Hou Sen stared at him intently. "The Emperor Dragon is so badly injured. Without an S-class plant, there's no way he'll wake up!"
"Yes, we also thought it was impossible. Everyone was very worried yesterday. Later on, I thought, maybe you deliberately exaggerated his injury yesterday?" Lu Chuan explained with a smile.
They really didn't expect that Long Qi would wake up so quickly, and even be able to restore his human form and leave the healing room.
Hou Sen knew Long Qi's condition, and the matter of the S-level plant could not be explained clearly, so Lu Chuan took the initiative and rushed over.
Hou Sen stared at him. "You guys used the S-class plant to wake him up."
"You're joking again. You went to the Northern Continent and went through so much trouble to buy an S-rank plant. How could we possibly buy one so easily?"
Hou Sen finally realized that the other party was determined to attribute this incident to Gaojiang District. The S-level plant was just his conjecture, with no evidence at all. If he told anyone about it, he would only end up being ridiculed.
Seeing Hou Sen's expression was a little off, Lu Chuan quickly said, "But I came here now because I really have something very important to discuss with you."
After comparing Xisha District with Gaojiang District, they found that their technology and research level in plant-related fields was at least ten years behind that of Gaojiang District.
That evening, An Ze came to report on the cub's learning progress and told him directly that if the Xisha District failed to provide the cub with high-quality educational resources, it would be stifling her talent.
So after discussing it with the district chief, he and the other party agreed that getting help from Gaojiang District would be the best thing for the little cub.
The two went to a separate room.
Hou Sen squinted at him and asked, "Why, are you finally going to tell me who planted that plant?"
Lu Chuan explained: "Professor Hou, it's like this..."
Purely human? Found in the desert? A cub?
He knows all these words, but why can't he understand them when they are put together???
"So what you're saying is that you found a pure human cub in the desert, and that the B-level plant was also found in the desert?"
"Are you kidding me?!" How could a pure human baby appear in the Xisha Islands? And was it picked up?!
Lu Chuan nodded, glanced at his bracelet, and continued, "The mayor of Xisha District has already discussed this matter face to face with the mayor of Gaojiang District. You should get the news soon."
Sure enough, the next second, Hou Sen received instructions from the district chief.
Hou Sen looked at the message in disbelief, and for a moment thought he had read it wrong.
Lu Chuan looked at him and said sincerely, "This is a serious matter. We will never lie about such a thing."
But that plant couldn't possibly be a natural plant growing naturally in the wild! That's right, the Xisha District had no idea what was so special about that plant!
If there really is a pure human being in the Xisha area——
Hou Sen looked excited, "Where is she? I want to see her!"

Generally speaking, there are three most common ways to deal with moldy seeds without medication.
The first method is to soak the seeds in medical-strength alcohol for about half an hour, then rinse them thoroughly with clean water to remove surface mold, and finally dry them.
The second method is to soak the seeds in salt water for ten minutes, then wash off the mold with clean water and dry them.
The third method is more direct. Place the seeds in the sun for a period of time. After the mold is killed by the sun, find a way to wipe off the remaining mold.
Although the methods are different, they can both quickly and effectively kill fungi and bacteria on the surface of seeds. However, simply exposing them to the sun is only suitable for mild mold.
The surface of this seed is covered with gray-green mold, so simply exposing it to the sun is definitely not enough.
The biggest problem that causes seeds to mold is the soil.
Soils are usually classified according to the relative amounts of sand, silt, and clay in them.
Soil with more sand particles is sandy soil, soil with all three particles are relatively balanced is loam, and soil with more clay particles is clay soil.
This soil is gravel soil with relatively large particles and good air permeability and water permeability. In fact, this kind of soil is not so easy to make seeds moldy.
But Feng Qi watered too much, and the flowerpot had no ventilation holes.
In its current state, there is absolutely no way to plant anything.
Ye Ning twisted it gently between her fingers, and her hands immediately became wet and sticky. She put it to her nose and sniffed it, and it was a pungent industrial smell.
It seems to be, nutrient solution?
Ye Ning looked at Feng Qi, who scratched his head sheepishly, "I wanted to give the seeds more nutrients, so I added nutrient solution to them."
No wonder, she didn't know what was in the nutrient solution, but it must have sugar and salt, plus a bunch of other things, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve the effect of quickly replenishing physical strength and reducing hunger.
Such a small flowerpot, soaked in so much water and nutrient solution, and placed under the bed without ventilation or light, is simply a bacterial culture dish. It is really not easy for this one to still be active.
This soil also needs to be treated before it can be used again. But for now, let's deal with the seeds first.
Ye Ning looked at Feng Qi and said, "Need alcohol for disinfection."
"I have alcohol!" Feng Qi turned around and ran downstairs to find his schoolbag.
Ye Ning took the opportunity to test out her shovel, which could be adjusted in size. She tossed and turned the soil, quickly shoveling it. The soil easily darkened and softened, and the gravel was easily shoveled away.
I just don't know if shoveling yellow sand will have the same effect.
By this time, Feng Qi had already brought back his schoolbag.
Gu Yu saw her running down like the wind and then running back.
He hung up the call he had just received, frowning slightly.
What did Long Qi mean by that? So he wasn't unconscious the entire time, and he already knew about the cub's existence? Without the cub, he wouldn't have survived.
But Gu Yu knew very well in his heart that even if he knew that it was the little cub who saved him, he would not feel any gratitude, but would instead hate her even more.
He was probably warning them not to let the cub appear in front of him. The two of them probably wouldn't have the chance to meet again. But no matter what, they wouldn't allow him to hurt her.
Feng Qi rushed upstairs in a hurry, "Alcohol, alcohol!" She took out a large bottle of 500ml alcohol from her bag.
Ye Ning looked at her in surprise.
Feng Qi quickly explained, "After a fight, you're bound to get a few minor injuries. But don't worry, sister. Just follow me when you go to school. I won't let you get hurt!"
Her sentence was too long, and Ye Ning didn't understand it all, but she roughly understood that it was for use in school.
So, do schools here teach how to fight? Ye Ning was suddenly eager to try. "Okay, let's go to school together."
"Okay, okay, we're in the same class, I'll definitely protect you!"
Ye Ning poured alcohol into the small lid, then wiped the seeds and threw them in.
Feng Qi lay on the ground curiously, staring at the seeds back and forth, "Can this sterilize the seeds?"
That's just like when they are injured, they need to use alcohol to disinfect. My sister is smart. She has alcohol in her bag, but she didn't even know to disinfect the flower pots.
"Drain the water." Ye Ning pointed to the flowerpot again.
Feng Qi quickly ran down to get the towel, "Sister, this."
Ye Ning took it and spread the towel on the ground, then took out all the soil from the flowerpot and poured it in the middle of the towel.
She kept pressing the towel and handed the flower pot to Feng Qi. "Alcohol, disinfect."
"Yes, the flower pots need to be disinfected too."
Feng Qi quickly poured alcohol into the flowerpot and rubbed it carefully twice.
I don’t know what material this towel is made of, but it is very absorbent and quickly absorbed most of the water.
But this is not enough. I have to expose it to the sun for a while tomorrow.
They waited for a while, and the seeds were soon soaked. Ye Ning took out the seeds and went to the bathroom. "Wait for me."
Feng Qi nodded.
Ye Ning took out the watering can and poured the water into the sink. The watering can looked small, but it could actually flow out water continuously.
“Is this water drinkable?”
[Yes! System-produced, super clean! ]
Ye Ning couldn't help but take a sip. It tasted like mountain spring water, refreshing and sweet. It was surprisingly delicious! But it didn't seem to have any other added value to her.
The description said it could bring vitality and energy, and she thought it might have wood elements in it.
But being able to drink water is good enough, "so we don't have to worry about running out of water in the future."
[Yes, actually the water in the watering can is relatively clean!]
Ye Ning nodded, then started to wash the mold spots on the surface of the seeds in the sink.
The water, which had no additives, easily washed away the mildew on the seeds. She tried to feel it, and she found that the activity inside had indeed increased. It wasn't obvious, but she could feel it.
Ye Ning simply left it in there and soaked it for a while.
Once she has cleaned the soil, loosened it a bit more with a shovel, and watered it more, it should be fine.
So the more often she turned the soil with the shovel, the better the soil would become, but there was a limit of 20%. After that, there would be no more noticeable changes.
But this is only a basic shovel. When she gets an advanced shovel later, the changes in the soil should be very obvious. And she can operate directly on the Dust Star by then.
When Ye Ning brought the seeds back, Feng Qi's eyes widened. She couldn't help but reach out and poke the seeds, thinking that her sister was really amazing!
Ye Ning moved the towel and placed the seeds and flower pot on it. "Tomorrow, let it bask in the sun."
"I know, sunbathing is good for disinfection, right?"
Ye Ning nodded and applauded her.
Every time she answered a question correctly today, Le Song would applaud her like this, so Ye Ning also started using it unconsciously.
In fact, when she was studying, she could see Le Song and An Ze looking at her with eyes that said "super awesome, super great", which was really emotionally satisfying and very motivating.
Feng Qi was also very happy that she could draw inferences from one example. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, how do you know so much?"
"Read." Her schoolbag was scattered all over the floor because of the alcohol she had just taken out. Ye Ning picked up her books one by one and placed them in front of her. "Do your homework."
Feng Qi blinked and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that his sister loved studying so much.
Her younger sister is so much younger than her, but she knows so much more than her and even learned to speak in one day.
She is the elder sister and cannot lose to her younger sister!
Feng Qi brought back his books and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will study hard too!"
Ye Ning looked at her with a smile and took her hand, "Let's go together."
The little elephant's hands were also soft and warm, and Ye Ning pinched her fingers.
Feng Qi felt like he was ignited!
She held Ye Ning's hand and put aside her ambitions, "I will start doing my homework and reading seriously today!"
But Feng Qi didn't expect that she had seriously underestimated the extent of her sister's love for learning. As soon as she finished dinner, Ye Ning started studying with a picture book.
Although he said he would study hard, Feng Qi was beside him, scratching his head and ears while studying. Sometimes he would drink water, sometimes go to the bathroom, and sometimes he wanted to talk to Ye Ning.
Ye Ning could see that Feng Qi actually had no patience for studying, but patience was something that could be cultivated slowly.
So if Feng Qi talked to her, Ye Ning would not answer her, but would just look at her with a smile and then lower her head to read her book.
Her smile immediately awakened Feng Qi's memory of his recent ambitious statement, and he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and returned to his homework. After several rounds of this, Feng Qi finally calmed down and began to work on his homework seriously.
Ye Ning, on the other hand, learned several hundred words in the evening and almost finished reading the book.
But she saw that Feng Qi had already entered the state, so she started reading again from the beginning.
Feng Qi dawdled for an hour, then wrote for another hour. Finally, after she finished her homework, she hugged it, feeling so moved she wanted to cry. Woohoo! For the first time, she had finished all her homework!
Feng Qi excitedly took photos of her homework and sent them to her parents and her younger brothers.
Mom and Dad were busy, but her younger brothers were all online, and she immediately received crazy replies from them.
Little Brother No. 1: Boss, you are in such a hurry to go home today, is it because you want to do your homework? ! !
Little Brother No. 2: Boss, you are indeed both smart and brave, but you came home too early today, and the class next door beat us up.
Little Brother No. 3: Boss, you have to help us get revenge tomorrow!
…
Feng Qi couldn't stand this and immediately replied: Wait, I will deal with them tomorrow!
After she sent it, she remembered that her sister also had a bracelet.
Feng Qi came close to Ye Ning, "Sister, I want to add you as my friend!"
As soon as she leaned on the bracelet, a notification to add a friend appeared. Ye Ning clicked OK, and the next second, Feng Qi was added.
Her profile picture was a little elephant, but Ye Ning hadn't set one yet. Feng Qi came over and helped her set up a bunch of things.
"You should rest." Gu Yu looked at the time and appeared in front of them at the right time.
"Sister, do you want to sleep with me?" Feng Qi hurriedly pulled Ye Ning.
This time, Ye Ning shook her head and rejected her, "I want to sleep alone."
Gu Yu couldn't help but look at Ye Ning. The little cub seemed to speak more fluently.
Anze and Lesong were right. The little cub was really smart and very patient, completely different from other pure humans he had met.
Most of the pure humans he'd met were willful, impulsive, irritable, and emotional. Because they were born with such respect and pampering, they found even the simplest setbacks and difficulties difficult to accept. They had no patience or respect for those around them, and were always furious over the smallest of things.
But the little cub does not have any of these typical human traits. Instead, it has extremely strong affinity and patience, and can even make Feng Qi, who has no patience for learning, calm down and read and write.
He initially thought that perhaps it was because of her previous bad experiences that she developed a personality that made her want to please others, but to her surprise, she actually rejected Feng Qi directly. Usually, people who habitually try to please others find it difficult to say no easily.
It is truly remarkable that she has been able to develop into such a character after being abused like that. Fortunately, her previous experiences did not leave her with too much trauma.
They had already agreed not to ask her about her past experiences, as asking her to recall them would undoubtedly open her wounds and cause her further harm.
If the person who hurt her really shows up, it won't be too late for them to avenge her.
Feng Qi felt a little regretful after being rejected, "Then when you want to sleep with me, we can sleep together again!"
"Okay." Feng Qi was so nice that Ye Ning couldn't help but hug her.
This hug made Feng Qi happy again. She held Ye Ning in her arms and spun around in circles, shaking her back and forth.
If she were an elephant now, she would be spinning in circles on her own.
"Good night, sister!"
"Good night." Ye Ning said good night to her with a smile, and then they both went back to their rooms.
When entering the room, Ye Ning turned around and looked at Gu Yu, "Can I sleep alone?"
"Of course, I'll be here all night. If you need anything, just tell me."
They really are prepared to work in shifts to take care of her day and night.
Ye Ning finally asked the question that had puzzled her for the past two days, "Why do you have to watch over me?"
A hint of surprise flashed through Gu Yu's mind, and then he understood a little.
Yes, she may not know how precious pure humans are in this world and what kind of treatment they can enjoy.
Gu Yu picked her up and placed her on her crib.
He squatted beside her bed and said gently and sincerely: "Because you are a pure human being, you deserve unparalleled respect and the best care."
Gu Yu never thought that one day these words would come out of his mouth.
