Chapter 4 Chapter 4 She actually slept on the black dragon's wings...
Ye Ning was originally very sleepy, but she immediately became alert after hearing the prompt.
She almost forgot that she had gone through so much trouble to find the seeds just to open the mall. After all this trouble, she still hadn't carefully examined the system after it was opened. Ye Ning immediately clicked it to check.
The next second, her mind was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The mountains were rolling, the lake was sparkling, and waterfalls were rushing down between the peaks. It seemed that her nostrils were filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees that was unique to nature.
[The Source of Life system has officially launched.]
The end of the world has come, but life and hope endure. The Source of Life System is willing to work hand in hand with you to protect the spark of life and create a beautiful ecological future.
The mechanical sound was low and steady. Ye Ning looked at the words that appeared in the void, slightly stunned. But the line of words soon disappeared, and with it, she was presented with a brand new interface that she had never seen before.
【Basic skills have been unlocked. 】
[Newbie Reward: 100 gold coins, 2 sweet potato seeds, 2 tomato seeds.]
Her own dashboard has also been updated.
【Character: Ye Ning
Level: Lv.1 (50/160)
Gold: 100
Planting Planet: L25 Dust Star
Current pollution absorption progress: 0%】
At the same time, a very dark and turbid sphere appeared in the void.
The little mushroom circled beside her. "This is the current L25 Dust Planet. You can scale it up or down as you like. Once you level it up, you can even modify the terrain and plant crops directly on it."
Changing the terrain, sowing and planting——
These eight words were incredibly powerful. If she could do this at will, what difference would that make her any different from the creator of this planet?!
Ye Ning looked at the little mushroom in shock and admiration, and gave a thumbs up sincerely.
The little mushroom enjoyed it immensely, spinning around in satisfaction and joy. "I told you, I'm a super awesome system."
Ye Ning nodded, "That's right, you are really amazing."
Her gaze returned to the planet before her. It was a scaled-down version of a dust planet, roughly the size of four basketballs. A closer look revealed that the gray and turbid color was the color of the dust planet's outermost atmosphere.
"This planet is so polluted." No wonder she didn't see any blue sky during the day. Ye Ning couldn't help but reach out to touch the gray-yellow layer, but it was all in her mind, without any real feeling.
Ye Ning tried to zoom in on the planet, and the details of the Sea Dust Star gradually became clearer in her eyes.
Pushing aside the filthy atmosphere, she could see the weather in every region of the planet: hurricanes, torrential rain, sandstorms...all manner of extreme weather events ravaging the planet. Zooming in further, she could see muddy rivers surging through the mountain ranges, tornadoes sweeping the ocean waters, creating massive waves. Even city roads were clearly visible, but not a single speck of green could be seen.
The name Dust Planet might at first sound like a planet with abundant oceans, but in reality, only a small portion of the planet is covered by ocean, with land accounting for approximately 70% of the total surface area. Due to the perennial lack of plant cover, the soil has become severely desertified, with many areas covered in desert. However, the area where they were currently located was the most extensive.
[No plants are like this, but as long as you keep upgrading and planting more plants, the ecology of this place will slowly recover! If we plant more plants, not only will they help you cure your illness, but they will also make you super powerful!] The little mushroom was full of fighting spirit and energy.
Ye Ning nodded. Before the little mushroom descended upon her, she suffered from an extremely rare and fatal malignant cancer. The mutated cancer cells would continuously erode the patient's nerves, blood vessels, periosteum and internal organs, causing the patient to suffer from pain deep in the bone marrow at all times, and in her original world, there was no effective treatment.
In short, when she was in excruciating pain and about to die if she tried to survive, the little mushroom appeared. So for her, no matter how bad the situation was now, it couldn't be worse than before.
The reason why she has turned into a cub now is because her system does not have enough energy, so she can only temporarily suppress the cancer cells in her body in this way.
Overall, Ye Ning is very satisfied with the current situation.
Ye Ning continued to check the system with great interest. The system was divided into two parts: planting and fishing. However, only planting was unlocked at the moment.
There are three skills on the toolbar below, namely shoveling, watering, and killing insects. Click to see the relevant introduction.
[Basic Shovel: This is a super easy-to-use shovel that not only removes weeds and pests, but also easily shapes the terrain, effectively improving soil quality and increasing the soil's natural planting rate by 20%.]
[Primary Watering Can: This looks like an ordinary watering can, but it possesses a constant source of life. No matter the conditions, it can bring life and vitality to your plants. After use, it can temporarily increase plant growth speed by 20%.]
[Primary Insecticide: This is a natural, environmentally friendly insecticide. It is gentle on plants but deadly to pests. Different pests may have different resistance levels, so please control the dosage based on your specific situation.]
[*Please note that different plants have different growth habits. Only by using resources rationally can plants grow healthily.]
Ye Ning's gaze stayed on the insecticide. "Can the primary insecticide kill those monsters?"
Little Mushroom shook his head. "Probably not. The effect of the primary insecticide is limited. But once you upgrade to the advanced one, it will definitely be fine!"
Ye Ning nodded and put the upgrade on the agenda. She had just experienced these skills, and the primary effects were so good. If she upgraded to the advanced level, she wouldn't have to worry so much about those monsters.
In her backpack was the reward the system had just given her. And in the previously empty atlas, a new icon suddenly appeared. And in the mall, a new item became available for purchase. It was the seed she had just sprouted.
[Seeds that have successfully germinated, plants you've touched, or bonus rewards from the system can all be directly added to the store. Once inside, you can purchase them with gold coins. You can use the plants you've grown yourself or sell them back to the store.]
Ye Ning followed the little mushroom and clicked on the plant store. All plants were divided into seven categories: algae, mosses, ferns, lichens, fungi, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.
The unlit plant illustrations were all in gray question mark status. When scrolling down, it seemed like there was no bottom, and Ye Ning felt dizzy.
Although she had received specialized botanical education at the base, in her original world, plants would mutate. As a mutant, she mainly learned about the habits of plants and how to use and eliminate them.
But the division is very clear, and at least she can find the plants she wants.
The Lala grass she had just sprouted was a type of angiosperm, known for its heat-clearing, detoxifying, and quick hemostasis properties. Buying seeds from the store now cost 5 gold coins, while buying the finished product would cost 20 gold coins. Therefore, if she successfully planted it and sold it to the store, she would earn 15 gold coins.
At this moment, a task box appeared in the information bar on the left.
[Task 1: Successfully plant a mall plant.]
[Quest Reward: Experience Points +50, Gold Coins +50.]
Everything is difficult at the beginning. The most urgent task is to upgrade and accumulate resources as quickly as possible. The environment here is so bad that even with the help of the system, without a good plan, it will be difficult to achieve the ultimate goal.
The shovel is so useful, I don't know about other things——
Shovel...shovel!
Ye Ning sat up in shock from her dying dream, "I lost my shovel!"
She had originally held the shovel in her hand, but was suddenly attacked by the monster and carried away by the white tiger. The whole process left her no time to breathe. Ye Ning's memory finally became clear at this moment. After the shovel fell, it was buried in the yellow sand.
[Do you want to use the automatic pickup feature?] Below the "Yes" option, there was a tiny -20 gold note. What else could she do? She gritted her teeth and clicked "Yes."
The moment the balance became 80, the shovel returned smoothly to her backpack.
Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief. After her desire to explore disappeared, she felt extremely sleepy. They were still on their way, and there was no telling how long it would take to arrive.
But judging by the situation, it's safe for now. Ye Ning yawned, and the sleepiness she had been suppressing came over her, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
She was really too tired. If she didn't have enough strength and the shovel was not good enough, she might have died in the stomachs of those monsters today.
It only took Ye Ning half a minute to wake up and fall asleep. While she was resting, the supernatural power in her body began to operate spontaneously.
Due to the scarcity of plants in this world, she was currently unable to quickly recover her powers and body by absorbing plant elements. Fortunately, she had just drunk a bottle of nutrient solution, which effectively replenished her body. Therefore, her powers continued to function within her body, albeit at an extremely slow pace.
In her former world, wood-based abilities had been developed to the extreme. Those with wood-based abilities could not only promote plant growth and control them for attack, but also harness the natural healing power of wood-based abilities to heal plants and living things, as wood itself contained vitality. The most powerful could even convert wood elements into different elements.
In the darkness of the night, Ye Ning's gradually lengthening and even breathing soon reached the men's ears. Orcs have extremely sharp vision and hearing, and even at night, they are not affected by the environment or light. They even breathed softly, fearing to disturb her rest.
Le Song's nose twitched, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to Ye Ning. He seemed to smell that extremely light and fresh scent again.
He kept searching his brain, trying to find something that matched the smell, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't figure out what the smell was.
It's like the sun after rain, or the morning sunshine dispelling the fog, making people feel a very light and shallow sense of relaxation and lightness both physically and mentally.
The one who felt it most deeply at this moment was Gu Yu. Ye Ning was sprawled on the tiger's back, her warm hands tightly clasping his neck. The touch transmitted a constant flow of heat through the nerve endings on the surface of his skin. Gu Yu felt the warmth and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not like he hasn't come into contact with pure humans before, but it's obvious that the feeling Ye Ning gave him was different from that of any other pure human.
The temperature at night was dropping rapidly, and the hot air exhaled by Gu Yu quickly liquefied into water mist, condensing into slightly turbid water droplets on the distinct tiger whiskers.
The dust near the ground increased again at night.
*
Ye Ning had a good sleep, and when she woke up comfortably, she was no longer on Baihu.
There was only dim light in the room, but the corners were filled with various plants and flowers. She could even clearly hear the clear chirping of birds and croaking of frogs coming from somewhere.
Looking at the metal ceiling above her head that was glowing green, Ye Ning was confused for a moment before she remembered that she had traveled to another world.
As soon as I woke up, all the fatigue seemed to have disappeared.
Ye Ning couldn't help but use her special ability to feel it. This room... seemed to be filled with some kind of magical energy that could speed up the body's recovery.
Ye Ning moved her arms and legs, and her muscles, which had felt as if they were filled with lead due to exhaustion, now fully recovered. She fumbled and turned over, pressed her face against the bed, and stretched out in a cat-like manner.
I don’t know what material the soft cushion under me is made of, but it is soft and smooth, with a leathery and fuzzy feel, and it’s warm.
She remembered that when she was outside, the temperature had been dropping constantly, with a difference of at least 20 degrees from day to night. The temperature in this room was just right. In any case, it was much safer here than outside.
The mattress was unusually soft. Ye Ning unconsciously rubbed her face against it a few times. The touch was completely different from tiger fur. She had no idea what it was made of.
However, I always feel that there is something strange...
[Ningning——, you, you look up——] Little Mushroom suddenly stuttered.
At the same time, Ye Ning, with her ear pressed against the cushion, also heard the dying breathing sounds hidden behind the crisp bird calls and insect chirps.
Rapid, weak, and even with a slight tremor.
Ye Ning's body stiffened and she slowly raised her head.
Under the dim light, they looked at each other, and their burning red eyes were like bright and translucent gems, extremely seductive.
Ye Ning's breathing stopped instantly, she actually fell asleep on the black dragon's wings!
