Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Where is she?
Near the planter box.
"Baiqing, look, have the leaves grown a little bigger?" The researcher, who came out to see the planting box for the first time, looked at the Welwitschia inside with curiosity, his face almost sticking to the box.
Bai Qing looked at it for a few seconds and shook his head seriously, "No. Without roots, leaves can't grow."
"It will definitely grow out soon." The researcher said confidently.
They followed the instructions left by Ye Ning one by one.
But suddenly, both of them squatting on the ground felt a pressing gaze.
The air froze instantly, their limbs stiffened, their heartbeats accelerated wildly, their teeth chattered, and their hearts even began to roar in their chests.
Until the person who brought this oppressive feeling walked in front of them.
"What about her?"
Long Qi's voice was icy. Although it was only two words, it made people feel the biting coldness.
Although the two knew that Emperor Long was nearby, they had never seen him before, nor had they felt his presence.
He was next door, so quiet that he seemed to be non-existent.
So, after a long time, they all forgot about Emperor Long.
The researcher's mental level was not high, and it was his first time facing an Emperor Dragon. The extreme fear surged up from his tailbone like a tide.
He tried several times, but each time he could only move his lips and couldn't say anything.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Long Qi's eyes, and then he calmed down a little.
The two finally felt that they could breathe a little easier.
Bai Qing gasped for breath as he said, "Master Ye Ning went to Gaojiang District."
The researcher nodded quickly and said, "I'll be back in a week."
Long Qi was silent for a moment, then turned around and went back to his house.
As the door closed completely, the two of them felt like they had survived a disaster.
Bai Qing looked at his back, lost in thought.
The researcher was about to say something, but Bai Qing quickly made a gesture to silence him, indicating that Dilong might hear him.
The researcher quickly shut up.
The two didn't dare to linger outside any longer. After taking care of the Welwitschia, they immediately returned to the planting room.
As soon as he entered the planting room, the researcher couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Do you know who we just met outside?!"
Both of them were in a bad condition at the moment. They looked like they had experienced something horrible, with sweat on their foreheads.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he continued, "We just encountered the Emperor Dragon! It was terrifying. When he showed up, we couldn't even breathe. He even asked us where Master Ye Ning was!"
"I heard before that the Xisha District arranged for Emperor Dragon to be stationed next door to protect Lord Ye Ning. I thought it was just a casual remark, but it turned out to be true."
When he said this, the researchers around him also found it very strange and couldn't help but start discussing it.
"He didn't know that Lady Ye Ning had gone to Gaojiang District, so how did he find out that she wasn't here?"
"I heard that Emperor Dragon's five senses are extremely sharp, and he can immediately sense any movement. But he can spot such a large cultivation room from such a long distance. His abilities are terrifying."
"Isn't it said that Emperor Dragon and pure humans are sworn enemies and that he hates pure humans?"
"Lord Ye Ning is different from other pure humans."
When he said this, everyone nodded.
"But if he's right next door to us, he won't suddenly go crazy and tear down our growing room, right?"
…
Long Qi closed the door, and the air around him seemed to become even colder.
The corners of his mouth tightened slightly, barely perceptible.
It was just to complete Tsuruo's mission.
*
After Ye Ning finished reading the information about the plants, she started reading the information about Gaojiang District.
Gaojiang District is located in the southeastern part of the Sub-Asia continent. It has a humid and pleasant climate with distinct four seasons. Rain and heat occur at the same time. The altitude is not high, and it is mostly hills and plains, so there are many rivers.
However, due to the lack of plant cover, soil erosion is serious, and the exposed rocks are also severely eroded by wind. But it is definitely not like the Xisha area, which is covered with yellow sand.
The more Ye Ning looked, the more she felt that this place was very suitable for growing lichens outdoors.
After Feng Qi had a good sleep, his original anxiety disappeared.
She leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside.
After leaving the Xisha area, there were no more dark clouds and lightning. Instead, there were turbid yellow clouds. However, sometimes when we got out of the clouds, we could clearly see the terrain below, and occasionally we could see a few wild animals flying in the sky.
Feng Qi kept looking out the window and took a lot of photos with his bracelet.
"Sister, look, there aren't any bird-beastmen flying outside. I don't know what it feels like to fly in the sky."
No bird species dares to fly in the Xisha Islands because the weather is so extreme that they might be struck by lightning. The climate is also extremely extreme, either extremely hot or extremely cold.
But they flew for many hours all the way here and did not see any bird orcs flying in other areas.
Feng Qi used to fantasize about having wings so he could fly everywhere and not have to walk to school.
Ye Ning thought for a moment and said, "It might be hard to breathe. The oxygen is thin at high altitudes, and the pollution is serious at low altitudes. And if I fly by myself, I might pass through polluted areas, so it's more convenient to take an aircraft."
Feng Qi nodded. That's right, flying a plane is still safer.
Seeing that Ye Ning was reading a book, Feng Qi didn't want to be idle, so he simply ran outside to exercise.
Although she is young, she does those training exercises every day.
Seeing how energetic she was, Hou Lin gave her some special guidance.
Ten hours later, the aircraft finally arrived at Gaojiang District Research Institute.
They set out early, before it got dark.
But Gaojiang District was also drizzling at this time.
All the panoramic sunroofs were closed, so they couldn't see what was happening outside for the time being, but they could hear the sounds of various things being carried off the aircraft.
As the first research institute in the Federation, the Gaojiang District Research Institute occupies a vast area. In addition to more than a dozen cultivation rooms covering thousands of square meters, it also houses research buildings, laboratory buildings, a library, a central database, and even a dedicated product department, responsible for product promotion and after-sales service. The total floor area reaches tens of thousands of square meters.
There are also thousands of orcs working there. In addition to researchers, there are also other managers, technicians, etc.
It can be said that this is the most important part of Gaojiang District and the core area supporting the overall development of Gaojiang District.
Those who came to move things were all researchers from Gaojiang District.
The things Hou Sen sent were extremely confidential, so even if they were to be transported, it was impossible to just find someone to come.
And Hou Yu was already waiting outside the door.
When everyone was moving things, they were a little surprised to see Hou Yu coming in person.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Dean, you came here in person, is there something particularly important this time?"
Hou Yu was in a good mood at this time. She had been thinking about when she could meet Ye Ning, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity now.
However, this matter is very confidential. Apart from her, no one else in Gaojiang District will know the identity of Mr. Ye Ning Plant Therapist.
Even the mayor of Gaojiang District didn't know that Ye Ning was coming.
Hou Yu nodded, a smile on his face, "I sent some good things this time."
After she said that, the researchers became even more excited and sped up their movements.
At this time, Hou Lin also walked down from the aircraft with Ye Ning and his group.
Everyone was a little surprised to see so many unfamiliar people suddenly descend from the aircraft.
Hou Yu saw Ye Ning at a glance.
Ye Ning was also in the crowd and their eyes met at first sight.
Before Hou Sen came, he showed her a photo of Hou Yu, but now seeing him in person, the feeling is still very different.
They really look like a couple. They give people very different feelings, but they are surprisingly well-matched.
Especially the look in Hou Yu's eyes when he looked at her, which was so gentle that Ye Ning couldn't help but smile at her.
Hou Yu took a step forward, looking at Ye Ning with a kind and gentle look, but then turned to Hou Lin and asked with concern: "How was the journey? Was there anything uncomfortable or difficult to adapt to?"
Hou Lin stayed in Xisha District after accompanying Hou Sen to the auction last time, so he hasn't been back for a long time.
Now, breathing the air of Gaojiang District for the first time in a long time, he was full of energy. "The journey was smooth and we are all in good condition."
Hou Yu smiled and nodded, then asked Ye Ning and Feng Qi, "How about you guys? Are you feeling okay?"
Ye Ning and Feng Qi also nodded.
"Dean, who are these people?"
Hou Lin interrupted directly: "She is an orphaned golden monkey cub we found in the Xisha area. These are her older sister and brother who adopted her."
"Professor Hou specifically asked me to bring them to Gaojiang District for some fun."
The fabricated identity for Ye Ning was very damaging to the people of Gaojiang District. The little cub was stranded outside, not to mention in the worst and most deplorable Xisha District. Just thinking about it made her feel sorry for herself.
So everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Ye Ning.
And they didn't know why, but when they saw Ye Ning, they thought she was well-behaved and cute, and couldn't help but want to get close to her. They even felt a sense of liking and closeness from the bottom of their hearts.
One researcher couldn't help but say, "My wife is a golden monkey orc. How about I adopt her?"
When Feng Qi heard this, he quickly stood in front of Ye Ning and said, "No, no, Ye Ning is my sister. I can't go to your house."
Hou Lin also waved his hands quickly, "I have parents now, and my brothers and sisters are here too, don't talk about this."
"We just let them come to Gaojiang District to play for a few days. They will go home later."
Seeing that the little cub was getting along well with the dog family, the researcher regretfully looked away.
However, they looked at Hou Lin carefully and found that Hou Lin seemed a little different.
"Why do you look better than before you left?" A researcher who was familiar with Hou Lin looked him up and down for several seconds before speaking.
How could it be bad? The plants in Ye Ning's grow room were so thriving. And he'd eaten a lot of them, including the watermelons and strawberries. If things got any worse, it would be a waste of so many incredibly precious plants.
Hou Lin nodded and changed the subject, "I have to thank Professor Hou for this. I have always been by his side. With Professor Hou's careful care, how could I not be in good condition?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but he seemed to be speaking sincerely. For a moment, everyone didn't know whether he was telling the truth or being sarcastic.
After the greetings, everyone started to move things quickly.
Compared to the two little cubs, the things sent by Hou Sen naturally made them more curious.
It took them twenty minutes to move everything in one piece. One of the huge containers caught everyone's attention.
Ye Ning was also thinking about the box of bamboo. She pulled Hou Yu's sleeve, pointed at the container, and asked, "Can I go with you to the planting room?"
Hou Yu naturally agreed.
Even though she couldn't show too much enthusiasm, she still reached out her hand to Ye Ning.
Ye Ning felt the gentle and kind aura emanating from her body and placed her hand in her palm.
Turning around, she held Feng Qi's hand again.
Hou Yu smiled at Ye Ning and Feng Qi and said, "Let's go to the planting room together."
Everyone was a little surprised, "Dean, is this okay?"
Those plants in the growing room are all very precious.
"It won't cost you anything to take a look." Hou Lin chimed in, "She's very smart. Maybe she'll become a professor in Gaojiang District sooner than you guys."
Le Song also said: "It would be better if we don't go in and she goes in."
The growing room is indeed very private, and he and Feng Qi are just outside, which is better.
Hou Lin said so, it seemed that the little cub had been approved by Professor Hou, and she was also a golden monkey orc, so everyone immediately had no objections.
They moved the things into the planting room together, and only Ye Ning followed in.
Hou Lin simply waited outside with Le Song and the others.
In fact, even outside, there are still many places worth seeing. Hou Lin enthusiastically acted as their tour guide.
Ye Ning followed them into the planting room and only then did she understand what the researchers had been lamenting about.
Unlike the cultivation room she had imagined, the one in Gaojiang District was magnificent. It had more than a dozen floors, each centered around a spiral staircase that spiraled upwards.
The stairs are carved with various plants, their branches and leaves intertwined luxuriantly. When looking up from below, it gives people the illusion that the stairs are surrounded by plants.
And although it was already afternoon, soft and abundant light still penetrated from the surroundings and illuminated every floor.
Even on the first floor, you can feel the warmth of the sun on your body and see the mottled shadows left by the light shining on the plants. Accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds all around, you can actually feel the refreshing feeling of being in nature.
The dozen or so cultivation rooms that had been out of use were now all being reopened by people working overtime. Therefore, the cultivation building was now filled with abundant energy.
Ye Ning intuitively felt that her ability recovery speed had increased significantly. In fact, in the cultivation room in Xisha District, she had always recovered her ability slowly, and usually gave out more than she absorbed, but here it was so abundant...
Ye Ning quickly restored his supernatural powers to full capacity.
Many researchers present had never experienced such a grand occasion.
When they were about to move their things to the first floor, Hou Yu stopped them and said, "Move to the seventeenth floor."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. "Seventeenth floor?"
Is this what they thought it meant?! What on earth did Professor Hou send them this time?
Hou Yu nodded.
Without hesitation, everyone took the elevator directly to the 17th floor.
Although all the growing rooms are together, the space on each floor is carefully divided and separated. The whole system is a private yet open system.
When Ye Ning took the elevator with everyone else, she was also a little amazed. It was worthy of being Gaojiang District.
Compared with the planting building in Gaojiang District, the planting room in Xisha District looks like a small temporary model house.
If she fills this place with plants, she will probably be able to reach level 30 soon.
Although the exteriors look quite different, once you step inside, you'll find that they're essentially the same. Her growing room is even newly built, so the equipment inside is noticeably newer and more intelligent.
Everyone placed the boxes in the center, looking forward to seeing what was inside.
At this time, Chong Ji and Jiang Yi also brought Chong Rong to the seventeenth floor.
Chongrong's temper had worsened recently, and they had lectured him several times. He now followed with a pout and a reluctant look on his face.
Chong Ji and Jiang Yi also knew that Chong Rong had no talent, but their talents were also average. If they had no talent, they could just be more diligent. As long as they were pure human beings, they would definitely be able to grow plants.
But Chongrong just wouldn't listen, always saying that he had no talent and that even if he made the seeds germinate, he wouldn't be able to make the plants grow.
If you say something to him, he will feel very aggrieved. He will either cry or yell. His temper is like a firecracker, which will ignite at any time.
They were troubled, but there was nothing else they could do. They could only hope that he was still young and would grow up to be more sensible.
This was the first time Ye Ning saw another pure human being in this world.
She didn't know how others distinguished them, but now, she could easily distinguish them from the orcs.
Because they really have an aura that is different from other orcs!
As Hou Sen said before, only pure humans have plant-friendly elements that can gather plant elements and make plants grow.
She had no idea what this sentence meant before, because she had special abilities and could naturally flexibly call upon the so-called plant elements.
But the three pure humans before him truly did have plant elements in them! Although they were extremely faint and thin, they were truly there!
Ye Ning's eyes lit up. Since everyone was here, she could see how they made the plants germinate and grow.
She had seen videos before, but they didn't reveal anything useful. Now she was there, she could finally experience it for herself.
Chongrong originally had a pouty mouth, tearful eyes, and a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
But suddenly he saw Ye Ning looking at them with a smile, and his flat mouth twisted slightly, then instantly retracted a lot.
The others also saw Ye Ning. It was quite surprising to see a little cub suddenly appear here.
But she looks well-behaved and cute, and she smiles brightly when greeting everyone, especially with two adorable dimples on her face.
Although everyone was a little surprised at first, they had already felt close to her. When they heard that she, a golden monkey beastman, had actually grown up in the Xisha area, their affection for her reached its peak.
And those large boxes were finally opened.
As soon as it was opened, everyone was shocked.
What I brought this time was actually a plant... a plant...
The seedlings above may not look large, but their roots have already spread out in a crisscross pattern throughout the soil. If you look closely, you'll find that some of the roots are even thicker than the plants themselves!
"It's bamboo." Hou Yu said.
This had not been revealed to them in advance, and many researchers present were confused.
Afterwards, someone immediately started searching on the scene.
However, a very elderly professor rolled his glasses, frowned, and examined it carefully before saying, "This should be a herbaceous plant, a tree-like bamboo."
After finding out the relevant knowledge about bamboo, everyone was completely shocked.
Professor Hou sent me such lush mint, but now he can even grow such large bamboo?!
Moso bamboo has tall and straight bamboo poles and a very high growth rate!
A month ago, they had to go to other places to auction off S-level plants with only a few leaves, but a month later, they could even grow this kind of tree-like bamboo.
What on earth was Professor Hou doing? How could he achieve such a huge leap in such a short time? This was like a primitive man jumping directly to flying a spaceship in space!
Although it is only a little bit big now, with such an intricate and vigorous root system, it will grow into a bamboo sooner or later!
Everyone was in an uproar, and started discussing heatedly.
Hou Yu motioned for them to be quiet. "Everyone should know that the larger the plant, the more difficult it is to grow."
"It may take us several years to successfully grow this bamboo. But once it succeeds, everyone will know what it means."
mean……
Countless thoughts suddenly flashed through everyone's minds, everyone's face was excited, and their eyes were shining.
Even in its current state, as long as it is released, no one in the Federation will be able to shake Gaojiang District's position!
"And bamboo shoots grow very quickly. Once they are successfully planted, you can quickly harvest a bamboo forest."
Chong Ji and Jiang Yi looked troubled. "Dean, with our abilities, I'm afraid we won't be able to make this bamboo grow."
The larger the plant, the more energy it needs to consume.
Although they had successfully germinated S-level plants some time ago and had them thriving, those were only grass and mint. Now, this was a large, tree-like bamboo.
The words of the two people gave everyone a wake-up call. Everyone's emotions calmed down instantly and they began to feel embarrassed.
Someone asked, "Dean, can we ask where Professor Hou cultivated these plants? He can actually cultivate these plants without pure humans. Does this mean that he has other methods to make these plants grow?"
Hou Yu looked at them. "Professor Hou told me that this bamboo has entered a stable growth period. As long as we provide a good enough environment, it will grow naturally. Whether or not a plant therapist helps will only affect the speed and duration of its growth."
Everyone:!!!
"Of course, with the assistance of Master Plant Therapy, our cultivation time will definitely be greatly shortened."
“Put it in the soil first.”
Hundreds of years ago, the seventeenth floor was prepared for some large plants.
The growing room has undergone several changes and reconstructions, and Gaojiang District has never given up on building a large plant growing room on the top floor. Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, it finally has the opportunity to be reopened.
The robot placed the bamboo directly into a large area of deep soil.
The box at the bottom quickly moved away, allowing it to fall into the soft soil.
Ye Ning felt it and found it to be in pretty good condition. The soil was exactly the same, and the planting box was the same one it had in the Xisha area. It was like packing up the entire plot of land and bringing it over. If it could adapt, it should be quick.
And she could feel that bamboo could obviously purify the air better than other plants.
This is probably because it is large enough.
Hou Yu looked at the planted bamboo, then turned to look at Chong Ji and Jiang Yi. "It should be adapting to the environment now. Do you want to give it a try?"
The two hesitated for a moment, nodded, and tried it.
Ye Ning looked at them carefully, not daring to miss any details.
Just as Hou Sen taught her, the two of them first closed their eyes, then pondered and sensed for a while.
Then, she felt...
Ye Ning's heart skipped a beat. Their so-called ability to gather plant elements was actually the same as her special ability!
