Chapter 44 Chapter 44 I want to give it to Long Qi.
Hou Lin realized the next second that what he said was a bit too direct. After all, Yan Gang was a pure human being.
In fact, if Yan Gang was talking to him, he would never say such words, but the other party was clearly coming towards Ye Ning, and he was a little out of control.
Yan Gang often does this kind of thing. When he is in a bad mood, he will tell anyone he dislikes to get out.
To say he was just randomly picking on people was definitely not the case. There were at least forty or fifty people present, and the two of them were standing in the very corner, not conspicuous at all. But given their current status, they were truly the softest targets here.
And he was able to accurately choose him and Ye Ning among so many people.
Yan Gang looked at Hou Lin with a gloomy expression, "What did you say?"
The orcs behind him also looked at Hou Lin in surprise, as if they couldn't believe that he dared to say such words.
Yan Gang was twenty centimeters shorter than Hou Lin. When he said this, he had to look up at him and Ye Ning, and his aura was actually much weaker.
But Hou Lin still turned Ye Ning in a different direction so that she didn't face Yan Gang directly.
Hou Lin changed the subject, his voice rising and falling, "I was wondering, have you come up with any subversive ideas yet?"
"I have to protect Master Chongrong here. Even you can't just chase me away."
The orcs behind Yan Gang whispered, "Lord Yan Gang has very high standards for his environment. If anyone is around that makes him uncomfortable, it will greatly affect his performance. You should leave first. There are so many S-level orcs here, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, Chongrong stood directly in front of Hou Lin. "If you don't like us, just leave. Why are you chasing us away?"
He looked at the orc behind Yan Gang and said, "Get out. I don't want to see you either. You're affecting my performance."
Chongrong was very unhappy. This was not the first time they met. He had met her once with other pure humans three years ago.
Everyone was gathered together at that time. He was still young at that time, but he remembered everything that happened.
They said his parents had no talent and that he couldn't even sprout at the age of five. He would definitely be like his parents in the future and could only grow low-level plants.
He finally managed to grow S-grade crops, but they are still like this.
Chongrong was very sensitive to these words. Those people had just said, both openly and covertly, that the reason he and his parents had such a big breakthrough was because of Gaojiang District, not because of their own strong abilities. So if they also mastered the skills, they would definitely become stronger.
But now they are the ones who can grow S-level plants, so why should we be bullied by them?
Chongrong looked at Yan Gang again and said loudly, "Didn't you say that you couldn't grow anything because you don't have the talent? Then the reason you can't grow anything must be that you don't have high talent. Why blame others?"
As soon as he said this, he felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had succeeded in his revenge.
He stared at Yan Gang with bulging eyes, his aura reaching its maximum. Hou Lin couldn't help but give Chongrong a thumbs up.
The sound of the charging was loud enough that everyone around looked over.
The orcs around Yan Gang hadn't expected Chong Rong's attack to be so powerful. He looked at Yan Gang nervously, and signaled to Feng Yue and Gu Su to come over quickly.
Yan Gang had been feeling down for a long time because of the fact that Gaojiang District could easily grow S-level plants. But when Gaojiang District announced they would be releasing the techniques and seeds, they even rushed over early.
As a result, he was actually being attacked right in front of his face. He couldn't imagine how horrible the thing would be.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Yan Gang looked at Chong Rong with a sullen expression, "You just allowed the S-rank seed to germinate, and you're so arrogant now."
"Who do you think you are? Even you can do it, so you think others can't do it?"
The inferiority complex in Chongrong's heart, which had just been suppressed for a while, surged up again because of his words.
In short, the defense is broken.
"You are nothing!" He rushed forward like a cannonball, but was immediately stopped by the orcs beside Yan Gang.
"Lord Chongrong, calm down! Calm down!"
Ye Ning turned around and tried to grab Chong Rong sideways. Seeing this, Hou Lin pulled him back with one hand.
Ye Ning patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be angry."
As soon as she spoke, Chongrong calmed down a lot, but as he calmed down, he felt even more aggrieved.
He looked at Ye Ning stubbornly, pursed his lips tightly, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Ye Ning said softly: "You are still young. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be better than him."
She didn't say this on purpose to comfort Chongrong. She had observed the dozen or so pure humans present today. Their abilities were all about the same. The only one she felt was better was Feng Yue.
The biggest difference between them and others lies in the use of their abilities.
Although Chongrong is young, he has great potential for development. If he can start practicing and improving hard from now on, he will definitely be a completely different person by the time he turns eighteen.
As soon as Ye Ning finished speaking, Hou Yu arrived.
She had originally taken several directors of research institutes from other districts to another floor, but returned immediately after hearing the news.
The orcs behind Yan Gang saw her coming, as if they saw a savior, "Dean Hou, let your two orcs leave here first, otherwise-"
Hou Yu interrupted him directly and said gently and unquestionably: "If Master Yan Gang feels uncomfortable, you can go with me to other planting rooms first."
Yan Gang looked up at her, his face gloomy and without any other emotion.
The others also looked at her in surprise.
The orc behind Yan Gang frowned, very confused. "Dean Hou, they are just two orcs."
But Hou Yu just kept smiling and looked at Yan Gang, "Do you want to go with me now?"
"Dean Hou——"
"Shut up." Yan Gang turned quickly, "Let's go."
The episode ended just like that, and everyone did look at them a few more times. But after looking them over, they couldn't see anything special about them. In the end, they could only attribute it to the fact that Gaojiang District was truly united and protective of its own shortcomings.
When I think about it this way, I feel a little envious.
Ye Ning pulled Hou Lin and said, "Let's go somewhere else."
Today, she wanted to see the level of other pure humans. If even Yan Gang was like this, then she would have an idea of the average level.
Hou Lin nodded, carried her and left.
It wasn't until they left the crowd that Ye Ning leaned over his shoulder and whispered, "Has he always been like this?"
"Who, Yan Gang?"
"right."
What she had heard and seen before was that although he was extremely talented, he was emotionally unstable, somewhat extreme in his behavior, and difficult to understand.
Hou Lin thought for a moment, "I've only seen him a few times, but similar things always happen. This state of his is quite common. And after he made that person go away last time, he really did perform better and grew that plant."
"He also treats people differently based on their status. Look, the dean asked him to leave, and he left anyway."
Ye Ning nodded and said nothing more.
He looked very angry and gloomy on the outside, but what she felt intuitively was not anger, but calmness, so calm that she could not feel any emotional ups and downs. So she just felt an inexplicable sense of detachment from him.
It was as if... he was just following a procedure.
That's even stranger.
Ye Ning always felt that things were a little complicated.
However, she has no plans to contact other pure humans for the time being, so everyone should just work hard to grow plants in their respective locations.
Without Ye Ning's help, it took more than a dozen pure humans several hours to master the initial skills of using their innate powers.
Compared to Chongji and Jiang Yi, they naturally put in several times more effort. But when everyone successfully germinated the once unattainable, seemingly impossible S-rank seeds, enthusiasm and excitement surged like a tide, and the air was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
You have to know that ever since Emperor Long went berserk and killed a large number of the most talented pure humans fifty years ago, the cultivation level of the remaining pure humans has been declining day by day. In the past two years, only Yan Gang in the Federation can grow S-level plants.
But today, all of them can do it!
Growing S-level plants is surprisingly easy! What on earth did I miss before?
Through the thick door, Ye Ning and Hou Lin could hear cheers from time to time.
There was no one else around, and Hou Lin couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder what their expressions would be if they knew that you taught them these techniques and that you also grew all the plants and seeds here."
"She'd probably be shocked." Ye Ning clapped her hands and handed the shovel to Hou Lin. "Then she'd think, what? That little cub in the corner? Is she actually a pure human, too?"
Hou Lin was suddenly amused when he heard her say this, "They'll be shocked to death."
"I'm fine, let's go back."
She brought a shovel and a watering can, but she never used them. The seventeenth-floor plantation room was too large, so she had to rely on her supernatural powers.
Her level finally reached 30 in the afternoon.
【Character: Ye Ning
Level: Lv.30 (17530/19430)
Gold: 39800
Planting Planet: L25 Dust Star
Current pollution absorption progress: 3.248290835%
All of her skills have also been updated.
【Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the intermediate skill. 】
Intermediate 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 40%.
Intermediate Watering Can: This looks like an ordinary watering can, but it possesses a constant source of life. It brings life and vitality to your plants, no matter the conditions. After use, it temporarily increases plant growth by 40%.
Intermediate Insecticide: This carefully formulated insecticide, made with a complex blend of natural, environmentally friendly ingredients, is gentle and harmless to plants, yet deadly to pests. Taking into account the varying resistance levels of different pests, this insecticide targets their vital points with greater precision, improving its effectiveness. Please carefully control the dosage based on your specific needs.
[*Please note that different plants have different growth habits. Only by using resources rationally can plants grow healthily.]
Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
She was originally curious about where she would go fishing and where she would raise the fish after fishing was allowed.
Unexpectedly, the system directly opened up a piece of land for her in the ocean!
[Congratulations, the private sea area has officially opened. ]
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 land was displayed directly on the model of the Dust Planet. Surrounded by a golden circle of light, it was a 100-cubic-meter ocean space.
This is your private ocean space, with clean water, pleasant climate, and rich nutrients needed by marine life.
Fishing: This is a very sophisticated fishing rod that allows you to easily achieve extremely accurate casting in any environment. Of course, different baits will help you catch different marine life.
There are three types of bait in the mall, namely ordinary, intermediate and advanced, and the prices are directly divided into three levels, 10 gold coins, 100 gold coins and 1000 gold coins.
Ye Ning directly clicked on the introduction of advanced fishing bait.
[Premium Bait: Expensive premium bait helps you catch those extremely rare and special fish that live in deep sea areas for a long time, such as sharks and whales...]
This is 1,000 gold coins. She can't catch the shark and eat it, right?
Ye Ning decisively turned around and bought an ordinary fishing bait for 10 gold coins.
After buying the bait, a 1 appears on the fishing button.
Ye Ning clicked it, and it immediately showed that a king crab was hooked, with the word "Give Up" next to it.
After Ye Ning clicked OK, the king crab appeared out of thin air in her sea area.
The king crab weighs seven or eight kilograms, and its shell is covered with raised textures. The black and red shell looks extremely hard, and its two claws also look strong and powerful.
It's a great deal to catch a king crab for just 10 gold coins. It's so big, it's enough for many people to eat.
The king crab suddenly appeared in that area and swam away at high speed. However, as it approached the edge, it was blocked by an invisible wall. A school of fish happened to swim nearby and was also directly divided in half by this area.
It tried like this for a long time, and finally when it was sure that it had no choice but to stay here, it calmed down and huddled in the corner.
Ye Ning didn’t know what the empire’s ocean cultivation room looked like, but it was obvious that what the system gave her now was the best ocean cultivation room!
Ye Ning quickly browsed the mall, bought all the ocean seeds she could find there, and then threw them into that area.
This also allows her to use the function of direct sowing and planting in advance.
She also tried to see if she could use her supernatural powers to speed up the plants, but unfortunately, she couldn't use her supernatural powers indirectly through the system.
However, the fertilizer and soil improver provided by the system were still usable, so Ye Ning threw a few in.
Just as they were about to go back, Ye Ning leaned on Hou Lin's shoulder, bought 10 baits at once, and started fishing. This time, she also caught shells, some shrimps, and fish.
It took her almost an hour to set up the entire space. This sea area would surely grow larger in the future, and then she would be able to plant more plants and absorb more pollution.
The system directly helped her solve the problem of ocean planting being unable to synchronize.
They had just finished dinner when they returned to their residence and heard the good news from the Xisha District.
Although this wave of pollutants is much more ferocious than the last time, thanks to various equipment, support, and especially the help of newly discovered effective toxins, they can resist this wave of pollutants a hundred times more easily than before!
After discussing with a few people, Ye Ning decided to return to Xisha District on time.
Things here are almost done, she has to go back and plant the 100 square meters of wild plants.
The next morning, several people boarded the aircraft back to the Xisha area.
Hou Yu came specially early in the morning to see them off.
Before those plant therapists left, other districts saw the fully open planting room on the 17th floor and quickly established cooperation with them, deciding to sign long-term contracts and use the seeds they provided.
These things need to be arranged one by one and the details need to be handled. She was almost idle yesterday and had little time to spend with Ye Ning.
He had only been here for a few days and was about to leave. Hou Yu felt deeply reluctant to let him go.
It was Ye Ning who noticed her hesitation and reached out to hug her.
Hou Yu hugged Ye Ning, feeling even more reluctant to leave. "There are aircraft flying between Xisha District and Gaojiang District every week. You can come here more often in the future. You've been in the planting room these days, and there are still many places in Gaojiang District that you haven't visited."
"Or maybe play for a few more days before going back?"
Ye Ning shook her head and whispered, "I have to go back and continue planting plants outdoors with the teacher."
"Next time the teacher comes back, I can come back with him. We're very close."
If the outdoor planting in Xisha District is successful, Gaojiang District will be the second area she plans to carry out outdoor planting.
And there's no telling when the tooth-rib erythrocytes she spread will grow back.
Hou Yu: "I've already arranged for someone to keep a close eye on that area. If it grows successfully, I'll let you know."
Ye Ning nodded and hugged her again.
Ten minutes later.
Hou Yu watched the aircraft fly into the sky before turning around and leaving.
She returned to the planting building and as soon as she opened it, she saw green buds blooming vibrantly.
Who would have thought that this place was still covered in dust two weeks ago, and was only officially planned to be put into use a week ago.
Finally we were going back, and everyone was very happy.
Although Gaojiang District is great everywhere, after being away for a long time, I still want to go back to my home.
Xisha District is their home. Although it is very backward, messy and full of pollutants, it is still their home.
Gu Yu learned that they were coming back and waited at the port early in the morning.
As soon as the aircraft landed, Feng Qi took a deep breath.
There doesn't seem to be any difference?
Oh yes, it’s because she is with her sister.
Feng Qi quickly ran to a place a little distance away from Ye Ning, then took a deep breath, and the next second, she started coughing violently.
"I told you that's all from TV dramas. There's no familiar smell here. There's only the smell of pollutants." Hou Lin, wearing a filter mask, walked over to help Feng Qi put it on.
"Besides, you just came from Gaojiang District, so you won't be able to adapt to the pollution concentration here for a while. Wear it first."
Even Le Song wore a higher-level filtering mask.
Gu Yu looked at Ye Ning and reached out to pick her up. "Did you have fun in Gaojiang District?"
He seemed to be in a really good mood, and the smile on his face was very warm.
Ye Ning nodded, "We also met someone who looked a bit like you. Hou Lin said he was your cousin."
Gu Yu confirmed the answer, "He is indeed my cousin, but we haven't seen each other for five or six years."
"Your cousin is very curious." Hou Lin walked up to him, "He kept staring at Ye Ning and even wanted to touch her head."
"His spiritual level can be considered S+." Although the highest level is S, everyone agrees that there are many levels above S. It's just that the distinction is not made so finely, because there is already an insurmountable gap between S and other levels.
Hou Lin didn't understand, "So?"
Gu Yu: "The higher the spiritual level, the higher the favorability towards pure humans. Moreover, Ye Ning's scent is very unique, so even though you used scent agents to conceal your identity, he can still sense it slightly and develop a favorable impression."
Hou Lin's mind flashed, and he blurted out, "So according to you, shouldn't Di Long be the one who has the highest favorability towards her?"
Several people looked over there, even Ye Ning was looking at him.
Hou Lin spread his hands innocently: "Then it is true that Emperor Dragon is the most powerful."
The smile on Gu Yu's face faded a little. "Although Long Qi listens to the District Chief very much, the mental disorder state of Emperor Dragon when he awakens is uncontrollable."
Realizing Gu Yu's hidden meaning, Hou Lin changed the subject, "But I can't feel the difference anymore. I'm used to it."
And because of habit, he has become immune to other pure humans. In the past, he would always feel a liking for Yan Gang, but now he can even go straight to him and use his full power.
Hou Lin looked around and asked, "Why do I feel like the pollution concentration has increased?"
Gu Yu nodded. "This is one of the aftereffects of the pollution wave. Last time, it took two weeks to return to normal levels."
It happens once a month and lasts for two weeks at a time. Who can stand it?
"You should investigate further to find out why pollutants continue to emerge from there."
Ye Ning also felt that they should go and take a look. If the pollutants in the restricted area could not be completely cleared no matter what, then it would be obviously unreasonable.
Pollutants don’t just appear out of thin air.
If there was anything that could be used to describe the restricted area, Ye Ning felt that it was more like an insect nest. Like ants, there would be a queen ant laying eggs day and night in the nest, which is why more and more ants appear. Simply killing the ants would be useless; only by killing the queen ant could the nest be completely destroyed.
Gu Yu shook his head. "The pollution concentration in the restricted area is extremely high, and there are countless S-level pollutants. It is currently impossible to check the situation inside."
Ye Ning patted Gu Yu's shoulder and said, "When we invent a more powerful and effective toxin in the future, maybe we can poison them to death directly."
Gu Yu laughed, "Well, the fact that we were able to get rid of the pollutants so quickly this time is also thanks to those effective toxins."
Feng Jin and Lu Chuan also came back. Feng Qi wanted to go home, so she didn't go back to the planting room with her. Le Song also had to pack up and participate in the next task.
So Ye Ning, Gu Yu and Hou Lin returned to the planting room together.
As soon as she entered the door, she was warmly welcomed by the researchers.
"Master Ye Ning, you are finally back."
"Yes, yes, without you in the planting room, the plants grow much slower!" They were all used to Ye Ning's planting speed.
Habits are the easiest to create illusions, just like those plants are supposed to grow that fast. But as soon as Ye Ning left, they woke up.
The reason why those plants can grow so fast is all thanks to Ye Ning. Without her, the plants in those planting rooms seem to have stagnated.
Actually, it can grow, but it is very, very, very slow...
"The potatoes and sweet potatoes have been harvested, as well as the tomatoes you planted and some other fruits and vegetables. We have preserved them well and ensure that they taste the same as when they were first picked."
"The outdoor planting you mentioned earlier has been prepared. As long as the seeds germinate, they can be planted."
"Someone came looking for us last time. Luckily, our cultivation room is located near the Emperor Dragon, otherwise we would have been discovered."
…
Ye Ning looked around and saw that Hou Sen was not there. It seemed that he had gone out for something.
She turned to one of the researchers and asked, "Could you give me some of the preserved tomatoes?"
"Of course." The researcher quickly ran to get the tomatoes out.
Each one is big and red, with bright colors, looks very tempting, and you can also smell the sweet and sour fruity aroma.
"Would you like to try it?" The researchers looked at her expectantly, not knowing what it would taste like.
Ye Ning shook her head and carefully picked out three. "I want to give them to Long Qi."
