Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Baiping Ecological Restoration Plan
On the 168th hour after the Welwitschia was planted outdoors, Ye Ning finally received a system notification.
[Ding——, congratulations, you have successfully completed the plant planting and observation task.]
The "Newbie Ecological Restoration Challenge" themed event has officially concluded.
[Task Reward: Primary Adaptation Seed Enhancement Pack*1.]
Ye Ning:!!!
She immediately clicked on Baisuilan's status.
Welwitschia:
Health: 45% (very poor)
Moisture status: 100% (sufficient water)
Nutritional status: 25% (severe lack of fertilizer)
Pest control: 0% (no pests)
Light satisfaction: 45% (severe lack of light)
Temperature suitability: 70% (slight deviation)
Pollution absorption rate: 0.0000000001%]
Ye Ning discovered that there was an additional pollution absorption level underneath.
"Is it starting to absorb outdoor pollution now?"
The little mushrooms were delighted. "Yeah, yeah! There's not much pollution indoors. They can only absorb a little when they're consumed. We should plant more outdoors."
Ye Ning nodded.
If it is planted outdoors, and a series of processes from germination to harvest can absorb pollution, then it will absorb pollution faster.
Ye Ning immediately clicked on the seed enhancement package.
【Primary Adaptation Seed Enhancement Pack:
1. Extreme environment resistant seeds*3: Erythromyces serrulate, Haloxylon ammodendron, Hippophae rhamnoides. These seeds have primary adaptive capabilities and are more resistant to drought, waterlogging, and extreme weather, and have primary wind and sand fixation capabilities.
2. Environmental conditioning spray: can temporarily change the environment to create an ideal growth environment for plants (3/3).
3. Growth accelerator: After using on seeds and seedlings, it can significantly accelerate their growth rate (3/3).
Ye Ning's eyes lit up slightly. She'd been looking through the information for the past couple of days and had come across something related to Erythroderma dentata. She'd already asked Gaojiang District to help her synthesize it, and she'd unexpectedly received a reward from the system.
Ye Ning looked at the introduction of Erythromyces dentata again.
[Erythrocephala dentata: A moss with exceptional drought and cold tolerance, a water bear of the plant kingdom. It can recover remarkably even after being stored at -80°C or experiencing extreme dehydration, demonstrating its extreme resilience...]
It was similar to the information she had seen, but this was a task reward given by the system, and it was different from the one in the mall because it had the ability to automatically adapt to the environment!
There is also the environmental adjustment spray. If you can temporarily change the environment around the seeds by spraying it, then it will be much easier for her to grow it outdoors!
Ye Ning couldn't wait to send the good news about Baisuilan to Hou Sen and Bai Qing.
At this time, Bai Qing, who would observe the condition of Welwitschia whenever she had time, also saw the observation report sent by the robot at the first time.
Near the shriveled seed shell of the Welwitschia, a transparent, thin root actually grew out, and even the root was slightly reddish at the bottom!
Bai Qing stood up suddenly.
The researchers around her were startled by her, "What's wrong?"
"That Welwitschia plant outside has sprouted."
Everyone:!!!
Almost at the same time, after receiving the news, everyone put down what they were doing and walked out one after another.
When they arrived at the door, everyone found that even Hou Sen, who had gone back to rest, had put on his clothes again.
He held the lamp in his hand and glanced at everyone, "Are you all so free?"
Someone smiled sheepishly, "This is the first plant that's been successfully grown outside. We all want to go see for ourselves what it's like."
"Yes, Professor Hou, tonight will definitely be a night that will go down in history!"
"Let's go, I'm ready. Remember to take a photo with me later."
There was still a violent storm outside, and even the moment everyone pushed open the door, yellow sand and raindrops hit them hard.
But such weather not only did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but made them even more excited and passionate.
"In this weather, you can successfully grow plants outdoors. Lord Ye Ning is truly an unprecedented first!"
"Didn't you guys say before that it was absolutely impossible and advised Baiqing not to waste this time? Didn't you get slapped in the face?"
Bai Qing smiled and said awkwardly, "I didn't do anything. It was all done by Lady Ye Ning. I just helped her record and organize some data and did some basic care."
The researcher nodded, his face frank, "I am short-sighted, and so are you."
It was raining heavily here, and there were not many people around in the wilderness. Everyone walked out in a black crowd, holding lighting equipment.
Someone wanted to get ahead and immediately took advantage of the situation and ran away. Seeing this, the others quickly followed behind. The originally neat team was scattered in an instant.
Gu Yu also followed behind them.
Hou Lin took Ye Ning away from the Xisha area, but the planting room still needed someone to guard it.
The person who occupied the core position immediately placed the light source on the Welwitschia, and the white light instantly illuminated it clearly.
"The leaves have really grown out!" The leaves that were originally curled up have opened slightly!
"Look at these roots!" another researcher pointed at the slender, tender, transparent roots, his eyes full of admiration. "Just looking at it, you can tell it's full of vitality!"
"If the Welwitschia plant is so resilient, can we grow it outdoors in Gaojiang District?"
"Mrs. Ye Ning happens to be in Gaojiang District. Can we let her give it a try? If she succeeds, wouldn't that mean—"
Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening in the house next door.
Everyone gasped and immediately discovered that Dilong had actually come out of the house!
Everyone subconsciously shut their mouths and huddled together seeking a sense of security.
I forgot again and again, the Emperor Dragon is nearby. He must think they are too noisy and come out to make them shut up!
But Long Qi didn't even look at them. Everyone only saw the figure quickly passing by them!
When he disappeared, only the clear and chilling "Go in" remained in the air.
Everyone looked at each other, only Gu Yu frowned.
The next second, he turned around and looked at everyone, "Turn off the lights and go back to the planting room."
As soon as he finished speaking, he also rushed out following Long Qi's back.
Everyone immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly turned off the lights and returned to the planting room.
Bai Qing turned around and without any hesitation, picked up Bai Suilan.
Everyone was well-trained, and it only took a dozen seconds to go back and forth.
The appearance of the growing room changed rapidly and soon became exactly the same as Long Qi's house, with no discernible difference.
On the other side, Long Qi was moving rapidly in the rainy night.
The heavy rain washed away all traces of smell, but the unique salty smell of the ocean penetrated the rain curtain and stimulated his senses.
When the group invaded the vicinity of Longqi, they faintly felt the breath of the Emperor Dragon.
Unlike the pressure brought by His Majesty Siros, the Emperor Dragon's aura carried an almost bone-chilling chill. The powerful aura made it difficult for them to move forward even when they approached the edge.
Several people straightened their clothes, and the leader stood in front of everyone, "It's right in front."
"The Emperor Dragon's five senses are extremely sharp, so we must do our best to conceal our presence."
Everyone nodded and prepared to move on while the rain was still there.
If only they could get close, they could—
But the next moment, a powerful and terrifying pressure suddenly hit them.
Several S-rank marine orcs instantly felt their entire bodies stiffen, as if they were about to be completely devoured alive.
Several people saw looks of fear in each other's pupils!
And that terrifying aura is still approaching like a tide——
Their breathing became disordered and they turned around and tried to escape almost instantly.
But just as they turned around and were about to take a step to escape, a creepy sound suddenly rang out in the air - it was the sound of broken bones, clear and dull, but it echoed in the rain like shattering ice.
Several people collapsed to the ground in an instant, twisting their bodies in pain, unable to even utter a wail, their eyes filled with terror, despair and fear.
Seven seconds later, Gu Yu finally arrived.
Before he got close, he saw the ground full of sea orcs, five in total, all S-level.
Gu Yu frowned slightly and was about to go over when he saw Long Qi turning around and leaving.
He wasn't even wearing a protective suit, just a simple shirt.
This was the first time Gu Yu saw him since he was seriously injured.
The heavy rain washed over his body. His black hair had grown a little longer and was now completely soaked by the rain, sticking to his face and outlining an extremely perfect profile.
Against the backdrop of the night and the rain, his ruby-red eyes seemed even more alluring. But in his eyes, there was only ice-coldness.
Long Qi didn't look at him and turned around.
But Gu Yu subconsciously took a step forward and wanted to hold him back.
Long Qi raised his eyes, and Gu Yu stopped his movements. He took a step back, keeping a certain distance from Long Qi, and then looked at him and said, "You seem to have fully recovered."
Even the condition is much better than before.
Long Qi's expression was still as cold as ice, but his cold voice inadvertently revealed a hint of sarcasm, "It will be even harder for you to kill me now."
Gu Yu's face darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and turned back to clean up the sea orcs lying on the ground.
*
Ye Ning only learned about the accident the next day. Hou Sen did not hide anything and told her directly that some sea orcs had sneaked in to look for her. He also told her that those people had their hands and feet broken by Long Qi and were thrown back to the Xisha District Military Headquarters.
Especially when she heard that he had dealt with five S-level marine orcs at once, Ye Ning was somewhat impressed by his powerful strength.
To see how powerful S-level orcs are, just look at Hou Lin, and he was able to take care of five of them in an instant.
In fact, apart from the occasional time when she was planting, he would watch her from the window, and there was no intersection between them. Ye Ning did not expect that he was quite cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Ye Ning suddenly felt that saving him in the first place was indeed the right decision. When she returned, she should go and thank him.
But when it comes to the marine orcs, Ye Ning is a little surprised. "Didn't we give them a lot of marine plants? Aren't those plants enough?"
Those marine plants are already a lot in terms of volume and mass, right?
Hou Sen nodded. "We've clearly refused many times, but they seem to really want you to go to the ocean for planting."
Ye Ning thought about it and shook her head, "I want to go back to Xisha District first and continue planting outdoors."
Everyone was in desperate need of plants. But there was only one of her, and it was impossible for her to abandon her duties on land and go to the sea to help them plant plants just because the empire was in urgent need of plants.
And she had already received a new task issued by the system yesterday.
Congratulations! The "Newbie Ecological Restoration Challenge" upgrade mission has officially begun: the 100-square-meter ecological restoration plan.
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.
【Task 1: Plant selection and planning.】
[Task Description: Please rationally select and plan to plant at least 10 different types of natural plants within a 100-square-meter area.]
[Note: When planning the planting areas for different plants, you should consider factors such as the plants' drought tolerance, temperature tolerance, and wind and sand fixation.]
[Task Reward: Intelligent Planning System*1.]
Ye Ning told Hou Sen about the plan, and Hou Sen's eyebrows jumped. "Are we going to plant 100 square meters of plants outdoors this time?"
Ye Ning nodded decisively. "The more plants there are, the higher the diversity and density will be, and the stronger the ability to prevent wind and sand will be. If we plant 100 square meters at a time, the effect will definitely be better."
After Hou Sen confirmed Ye Ning's idea, he agreed without hesitation. "One hundred square meters of outdoor planting is quite a large area. I'll first find someone to find suitable land, and then find a way to improve the soil. The planting plan will probably be quite difficult, so I'll have them all make one and then choose one. That way, we can start planting right away when you come back."
After the Welwitschia plant was brought back indoors, its originally tiny roots grew to several centimeters long overnight, and several additional thin roots were produced.
The researchers were very excited because this proved that although outdoor cultivation was difficult, once successful, the vitality of the plants could be significantly improved.
Everyone wanted to throw all the plants outside to torture them.
Hou Sen continued, "The Empire's actions are truly despicable. They've even secretly tracked you down after we explicitly refused. Have fun, we'll continue to handle this matter."
Long before the negotiations, Tsuruo had made it clear that Gaojiang District would be ranked first and would only be given Imperial plants.
But the Empire was secretly engaging in this behavior. Regardless of the reason or purpose, it had violated their original agreement. They had tolerated the Empire's actions when they discovered them some time ago, only to find they were becoming increasingly aggressive. This matter couldn't be let go.
Ye Ning nodded, and chatted with Hou Sen about what he saw and heard in Gaojiang District, and also talked about things related to superpowers.
Hou Sen looked at Ye Ning in shock. "You're saying that the reason they couldn't grow it was because they used the wrong method. As long as they used the right method, their abilities would improve rapidly?!"
"It's very simple to just germinate the S-rank seeds in the planting room. And the more you use your ability, the smoother it becomes. So when you feel tired, you should use it more often."
"I've written down some very simple methods. This is how I tried to germinate the seeds myself. Teacher, you can ask them to try it."
"If it really works, we can try it on other pure humans. That way everyone can grow more plants."
Hou Sen felt very complicated, even a little ashamed. So, were they actually the ones who almost buried two geniuses?
He had once boasted that he wanted to be Ye Ning's teacher, but what Ye Ning gave them was far more than they had given him.
Ye Ning hung up the phone and suddenly realized that she was in Gaojiang District. She told Hou Yu about it directly.
Hou Yu was amazed at Ye Ning's technique. Was this the problem Ye Ning had discovered yesterday when she watched the two of them germinate the plants?
But the usage tips are only a short page with no more than 8 items. Can they really quickly improve the innate abilities of pure humans?
If the pure humans in Gaojiang District, or even all the pure humans in this world, could easily make S-level plants germinate—
Hou Yu took Ye Ning to the planting room without any hesitation.
Chongji and Jiang Yi were also surprised when they got the page of techniques. But thinking about Professor Hou's recent achievements, they felt that it was normal for him to discover some new planting methods.
The two immediately followed the manual.
Those eight points were carefully selected by Ye Ning, and then rewritten based on the actual situation here. They are the most core and essential content. They themselves have decades of planting experience, so they must not be divorced from their actual situation, but they can't be too complicated.
The two of them followed Ye Ning's techniques.
There were some bumps in the road at first, but I soon found the feeling and everything became smooth and natural.
When they opened their eyes again, they found that eight S-level seeds had sprouted at once, a speed far exceeding that of the past!
Both of them were so excited that they couldn't speak. "Dean, this technique is so useful!"
"Yes, before, we could only vaguely feel things, but after following this technique, we can suddenly feel them very clearly."
A smile appeared on Hou Yu's face. "If you still have energy left, use it more. The more you use it to the point of exhaustion, the stronger your ability will be."
"These techniques are very simple, let Chongrong try them too."
The two of them nodded immediately, and Chongrong, who was still turning the soil for the plants, was called over.
After he arrived, he realized that everyone wanted him to germinate the seeds. There were people everywhere, and Ye Ning was there, so he threw the shovel out in anger.
"I don't want it. I can't germinate the seeds at all!"
After he said that, he wanted to run out, but Chongji picked him up.
"If you don't plant, how can you make progress?" He was already very impatient with Chongrong. "If you don't make the seeds sprout today, you can't go anywhere and you can't eat!"
He is already eight years old. He has no talent and doesn't work hard. If he continues like this, what will happen in a few years?
Even if Gaojiang District wanted to worship him as a mascot, a pure human who couldn't grow plants and could only act recklessly and recklessly—
Chongji slapped him hard on the butt twice.
Chongrong burst into tears instantly.
Ye Ning's ears hurt from his noise. She looked at Chongrong and said, "Don't cry."
Chongji quickly said, "My sister is younger than you. Look who is like you, crying all day long even though she is this old."
Chongrong looked at Ye Ning, his mouth open and unable to close.
His face twisted, and he said angrily, "She is an orc, not a pure human."
Ye Ning said directly: "If you can't grow plants, you're worse than an orc."
Ye Ning walked over to take a look, then placed a seed that was about to break out of its shell in his palm and said, "Give it a try. If it doesn't grow, practice more."
"I know a little crocodile who's three years younger than you. His parents were killed by pollutants on the battlefield this year. Now there's only him and a two-year-old sister in his family."
"You can grow crops here safely because there are many people who would rather sacrifice their lives to kill pollutants and protect everyone's safety."
"If you fail, just try again. If they fail, they might lose their lives."
"Give it a try. I think you're talented too, you just don't know the technique."
Chongrong held the seed in his palm, and suddenly... he stared at his palm intensely.
"Just put the elements and energy you feel into the seeds."
But after a few minutes, when everyone thought a miracle would happen, the seed still did not change.
He clearly felt it!
Chongrong looked at the seeds, feeling as if he had been struck again.
Ye Ning looked at him seriously and said, "Take it with you and try harder. It will definitely sprout tomorrow."
Chongrong looked up at her, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally put the seed into his pocket. He really felt it!
Chongrong actually calmed down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But after finally seeing some hope, Chong Ji and Jiang Yi directly detained him by their side, and this time they were determined to teach him a lesson.
Ye Ning took the time to throw some superpowers into the seeds on the third floor.
【Character: Ye Ning

When she came to Gaojiang District, her first task was to plant, and her second task was to stroll around.
If she keeps farming for a few more days, she should be able to reach level 30. Little Mushroom said that at level 30, fishing would be enabled. That was the only gray button.
She felt very satisfied as she watched the entire planting building start to operate.
She spends half a day planting every day, and in the afternoon and evening, she goes shopping in Gaojiang District with Feng Qilesong.
Unlike Xisha District, Gaojiang District is also very lively at night. If you go out at night, you will find more people than during the day.
Today, they are going to visit the largest and oldest museum in Gaojiang District.
Hou Lin specially hired a senior tour guide to take them.
But when the tour guide arrived, he was quite friendly. But when he found out they were from the Xisha area, his expression changed instantly. He also became arrogant, saying things like, "You don't have this in the Xisha area, do you?" and "You definitely haven't seen this in the Xisha area."
Hou Lin reacted and pulled his collar, saying in a gloomy tone, "If you keep nagging my sister, I'll send you to work mining in the Xisha area."
When he got angry, he tried to coax the tour guide so much that he was speechless.
Hou Lin directly replaced him and wrote an 800-word essay to give him a bad review.
Feng Qi applauded him, "Brother Hou Lin, you are awesome."
Hou Lin was very proud, "That's right, calling you brother is worth it."
Feng Qi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
After this incident, they were too lazy to hire a real tour guide and just rented a robot to give the tour.
Plants are the most common exhibit in this museum. There's a wide range of information on the history of plants, from how quickly they began to disappear to the impact they had on the planet at various times. The last exhibition hall is dedicated to the exploration of outer space.
"Although we haven't found a suitable planet to migrate to yet, we believe that with the development of technology and our continuous exploration of cosmic civilization, one day we will discover a new home that is more suitable for us to live in..."
But suddenly, the people around became noisy.
The people in Gaojiang District have always been very well-mannered. They rarely heard any noise on their way in, including on the road. Everyone suddenly started talking, and several people became curious.
"Brother Hou Lin, everyone is saying something is wrong. What happened?"
Le Song frowned slightly, "I think I heard something about pure humans?"
Hou Lin also felt something was wrong and immediately checked the information on his bracelet. Then his face changed drastically, "Something went wrong with the charging!"
