Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Urban Greening
Yan Gang's eyes widened, as if he had just heard an absurd joke. He suddenly raised his voice, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could Lord Hu Ding possibly join your faction? Who do you think you are? You're just wishful thinking!"
Yan Gang was furious. How dare she say such a thing? He had thought she was smart, but he hadn't expected her to be so arrogant.
Ye Ning was calm and composed, "They sent you to find me because they saw my positive influence."
"Even if you're doing this for the good of everyone, you still have a negative image in the public eye, and that negative image is deeply ingrained. If you want to completely change everyone's perception of you, joining my camp is the best way."
Ye Ning looked at Yan Gang calmly. Her eyes were gentle and firm, and her voice was non-aggressive. It seemed that she was really just thinking about them when she said these words.
But Yan Gang completely ignored him, his eyes filled with contempt. "Whether they are pure humans or orcs, only under the guidance of Lord Hu Ding can they move towards the future. One day they will realize how great Lord Hu Ding is. Who do you think you are? How dare you think you can surpass Lord Hu Ding..."
At the same time, on Yan Gang's body, a nano-camera that is invisible to the naked eye is quietly and silently capturing every subtle expression and movement of Ye Ning.
Inside the room, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Ning on the screen. Their expressions were filled with curiosity, speculation, surprise, and anger. But the moment they met Ye Ning's gaze, a strange feeling washed over them.
Ye Ning in front of the camera seemed to have a penetrating gaze, as if she was talking directly to them, bypassing the chattering Yan Gang.
The man walked in front of the screen, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Ye Ning on the screen. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Bai Qing walked up to him and said respectfully, "Master Hu Ding, I'm afraid Master Ye Ning won't join us so easily."
He smiled slightly, with a kind and tolerant look on his face, "Haha, what she said does make sense."
"You're right, she is indeed different from what we thought."
Bai Qing pushed up his glasses and said, "Master Hu Ding, what about the next thing?"
Hu Ding waved his hand. "She won't trust us easily if she hasn't seen it with her own eyes. It doesn't matter. She'll know later."
Bai Qing nodded and walked out.
As she reached the door, she pushed her glasses up again.
Even though she had watched many of Ye Ning's public videos, she still found it difficult to match the person in the video with the little cub Ye Ning she was familiar with.
But the other person was also called Ye Ning, and also possessed top-level planting talent. Hou Lin and Di Long also stayed by her side. The little cub Ye Ning seemed to have completely disappeared.
Moreover, the two really look exactly the same, with no difference except for their age.
At that time, there were more than a dozen orcs who had seen the little Ye Ning like her. They also searched everywhere for news about little Ye Ning, but little Ye Ning seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, so the group of people still don’t understand whether there are two "Ye Nings".
But there is no doubt that the one with the strongest appeal and influence is the current one.
Not far away, several people came over dragging a large number of crop seeds.
Bai Qing looked at the seeds and asked, "Are these the latest crop seeds cultivated by Master Ye Ning?"
Several people nodded happily, their tone unable to conceal their excitement. "Yes, these seeds not only grow fast, but also have a high yield. Once we plant them for a few months, we can-"
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed twice by the people next to him, and the man immediately restrained the joy on his face.
“It will make them more stable.”
Bai Qing nodded and said, "You guys go and get busy."
A few people walked away with the seeds, and after they were far away, they started discussing it happily.
“It is said that the crops grown from these seeds taste particularly good.”
"They said soybeans can be used to make soy milk, and potatoes can be roasted directly over fire and eaten. They are sticky and fragrant."
"Oh, if only she had shown up sooner."
…
Yan Gang's chattering had not stopped yet, and his words were getting more and more unpleasant.
But Ye Ning didn't hear a word he said and turned a deaf ear to it all.
She didn't originally say these words to Yan Gang.
Yan Gang is one of the few pure humans in the rebel army, and the other side will never let him appear alone in the Xisha area.
They may have arranged for someone to follow him secretly, installed cameras on him, used eavesdropping devices, or tracked his whereabouts through a wristband.
For a moment, Ye Ning even felt that someone was watching her while she was talking to Yan Gang.
She couldn't understand how they dared to send Yan Gang here just like that.
Do they think they won't do anything to Yan Gang, or do they have some other support, or do they simply not care what happens to Yan Gang?
Ye Ning stood up from her chair and said, "That's all for today. I hope you will cooperate with me with greater sincerity next time."
"You can think about joining my camp again."
Ye Ning no longer paid attention to the angry Yan Gang behind her and turned around and walked out of the room.
The others were already waiting for her at the door.
Ye Ning looked at them and said, "Have someone check him carefully. He doesn't look right."
Cang Chen looked at Ye Ning and took the initiative to say: "It seems that he is not a pure human anymore."
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Hou Lin asked directly: "What do you mean? What do you mean by not being a pure human anymore?"
Cang Chen frowned slightly, "There's something strange about the aura around him."
Long Qi said calmly: "It's a mixture of pollutants and orcs."
Everyone: ???
Hou Lin's eyelids kept twitching. "If there is a mixture of pollutants and orcs, can he still be considered a pure human?!"
Ye Ning: "We'll know after we finish examining him."
She looked at Cangchen and Lesong, "You two stay here and help the professor keep an eye on Yan Gang. Don't let him do anything that might hurt others."
Cangchen and Lesong nodded immediately.
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud knocking sound from the next room. The next second, fog filled the room and Yan Gang soon collapsed to the ground.
Hou Sen was busy checking Yan Gang, but he still gave Hou Lin and the others some special instructions, telling them not to let their guard down, and then he went to the laboratory.
On the way back, Hou Lin's face looked bad.
He looked conflicted, wanting to ask Ye Ning something, but seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't want to disturb her, so he had to hold back.
When Ye Ning seemed to have finished thinking, Hou Lin couldn't wait to ask, "Do you think what Yan Gang just said is true?"
"Is the Federation really implementing some anti-human purging and extermination plan, planning to escape with the remaining humans?"
Ye Ning: "With the current level of technology, how long can a spacecraft travel in space?"
Hou Lin really didn't know the answer to this question. He was so busy growing plants that he had never paid attention to that aspect of things.
Gu Su quickly checked his bracelet and said, "With sufficient resources, the spacecraft can travel in space for hundreds of years."
Ye Ning also opened the bracelet and started watching the documentary "Planet Exploration Diary".
She hadn't watched the documentary for a while, and it was now at episode 175. That meant that every week or two, a spacecraft that had been on interstellar exploration for more than a decade or even more than 20 years would return to the Dust Planet.
But without exception, they all failed.
Gu Su continued, "Over the past few decades, the Federation has been frequently launching spacecraft for interstellar exploration. However, the frequency of launches has been declining sharply in recent months."
Because resources are tilted towards planting.
Hou Lin looked at Gu Su and couldn't help but say, "You are from the Tiger Tribe. Even if they really want to abandon Haichen Star, they will take you with them."
If what Yan Gang said was true, and the Federation really wanted to take a small number of people away, then these primate orcs would probably have to stay here.
Ye Ning patted Hou Lin's shoulder and said, "But don't you think it's painful to be confined to a small spaceship for the rest of your life?"
Every time she watched documentaries about interstellar exploration, she felt uncomfortable. Spending more than ten or twenty years, most of her life, confined to that narrow space, feeling helpless, and constantly facing all kinds of fatal harm from the universe.
If she had to choose, she would still prefer to stay on the Sea Dust Star.
Hou Lin agreed with what Ye Ning said, "Yeah, if I really had to flee on a spaceship and live on it for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
He took a deep breath. "You've already grown the plants, and the pollutants are decreasing rapidly. There's no need for them to do these inexplicable things anymore, right?"
Ye Ning: "Don't follow his line of thought. We can't be sure whether what he said is true or not."
Hou Lin nodded. "Yes, maybe he made all of this up just to get you to join the rebels, so he deliberately came up with these stories to discredit the Federation."
Putting aside other things, Ye Ning felt a greater sense of urgency when Yan Gang appeared.
She rolled up her sleeves and said, "No need to go back, let's go to the Xisha District Research Institute."
Hou Lin immediately turned the car around.
The people in the research institute were a little surprised to see Ye Ning, but the next second, they were all happy and excited.
Many people even put down what they were doing and gathered around.
"Master Ye Ning, why are you here now?"
Because Ye Ning promoted crop planting, several planting rooms in the research institute were converted into crop planting rooms.
In addition to mushrooms, many other crops were also planted, but all the source stones were removed.
Originium is precious, and since plants can already grow naturally, it would be a waste to use Originium to accelerate their growth.
So just let them grow naturally. Ye Ning will come to check on them every once in a while and give the plants a boost.
But she was here just the day before yesterday, so she shouldn't have come today.
Lion Ren is also in this category.
Before he came, he was still very resentful and felt that his talent was wasted in the research institute in the Xisha area.
But he hadn't expected that the Xisha region's research institutes were also full of hidden talents, many of whom were more capable than him. After spending some time here, his inexplicable arrogance had been tempered quite a bit.
Ye Ning was greeting everyone. She glanced around the crowd and when her eyes landed on Shi Ren's head, he got a little excited. But Ye Ning immediately looked away, not paying him any more attention.
Shi Ren instantly wilted and shrank into the crowd.
The dean knew Ye Ning was here and hurried over, "Master Ye Ning, do you have any instructions?"
Ye Ning nodded and said, "I'm short of manpower, so I'd like to borrow some from you."
Everyone immediately became excited. Shi Ren, who was in the crowd, seemed to have his hope rekindled and looked at Ye Ning with bright eyes.
The dean naturally had no reason to refuse, "Just give them the order."
Ye Ning: "I want to select a group of people to work on urban greening."
