Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Ecological Public Education Activities. …
The entire venue became unusually quiet, and time seemed to stand still.
With Ye Ning's arrival, the rich and extremely clean plant scent filled the conference hall.
Hundreds of thousands of eyes around the world are glued to the screen.
The live broadcast robot's camera kept zooming in, and Ye Ning greeted the camera with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to meet you here today."
Her face was delicate and bright, neither ostentatious nor delicate, perfectly embodying youth and vitality. Her eyes were clear and bright, like a mountain spring. The moment I met her gaze, my soul felt cleansed.
The smile that appeared naturally on her face made everyone feel an irresistible affinity.
"She appeared! Oh my god, she's actually smiling at us!!!"
"She's so pretty! But isn't Master Ye Ning a little cub? How can he be an adult?!"
"It's definitely her. I'm more curious about the audience's reactions. Those who can sit here are not ordinary people. They must have seen pure humans many times, but why are they all shocked?"
…
Everyone in the audience looked at Ye Ning.
An extremely intense, exuberant, and exuberant feeling of happiness and joy washed over them like a tide. All their worries, worries, fatigue, and constraints were completely washed away by this unprecedented experience.
Everyone looked at her in excitement or shock. They seemed to have lost the ability to speak, their mouths slightly open, but no sound came out. They could only follow Ye Ning closely with their eyes.
Seeing Ye Ning in person and feeling the rich plant scent that she exuded unreservedly was enough to immerse everyone present in a shocking and profound experience.
This feeling of shock lasted for half a minute before people gradually reacted.
An elder clutched his heart tremblingly, "The plant scent on her body is surprisingly strong to this extent."
"No wonder Xisha District and Gaojiang District are so cautious and hesitant to release people. No wonder they can grow so many plants!"
"Yes, I've met many pure humans. Even fifty years ago, when I met those dozen of the most gifted pure humans at once, I never felt such an extreme sense of happiness."
…
Backstage, Hou Lin's heart was also beating wildly. He breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that Ye Ning is usually very low-key."
Recently, he sometimes couldn't feel the plant scent emanating from Ye Ning, so he always thought that he had gotten used to it.
As Hou Lin spoke, he secretly glanced at Xilos and Long Qi.
Siros stood nearby, his eyes gleaming as he gazed at Ye Ning. The ocean air about him seemed even stronger. Meanwhile, Long Qi leaned against the door with his head lowered, his knuckles slightly white, wondering what he was thinking.
His feelings at this moment were so strong, and he didn't know how terrible they both felt.
Ye Ning had anticipated their reaction, so she remained calm at this moment.
She smiled and explained, "I'm not actually a cub, and I've never met Master Ye Ming from the Capital District."
"I like my life in Xisha District very much now, so I won't bother the Capital District to help me confirm my identity."
Ye Ning's tone was gentle, like a spring breeze, making people feel comfortable and relaxed. Especially when she was half-joking, the atmosphere around them seemed to lighten up.
"Woo woo woo, Lady Ye Ning's smile is so healing. Just seeing her smile like that makes my heart melt."
"Damn it! How dare the Capital District swear that Master Ye Ning is Master Ye Ming's child? That's disgusting!"
"Haha, they probably really think that Master Ye Ning is just a little cub, so they deliberately spread public opinion to slander Xisha District and Gaojiang District. Then even if they want to take Master Ye Ning away, it will be easy."
"The Capital District is so shameless! They have the largest number of pure humans on the entire Dust Planet, and yet they're still not satisfied!"
"Because the Capital District wants to completely monopolize plants. Look at the past and look at the present. After Lord Ye Ning led Gaojiang District to break the monopoly on plants, even we can drink mint water. But this must have greatly damaged the interests of the Capital District, so they come up with these tricks. If Lord Ye Ning went to the Capital District, we definitely wouldn't be able to buy such cheap plant products."
…
Ye Ning started today's ecological public education activity according to the normal procedures.
The researchers had already prepared today's content materials for her according to her ideas.
"I'm very happy to have this opportunity to share with you some of our experiences and insights in ecological restoration. Life goes on, and hope never dies. I believe that every effort you make can bring about tremendous changes to Dust Planet."
These outdoor plantings have specially preserved video records. After turning on the high-speed mode to play, everyone can clearly see the growth process of the plants.
"It's really not easy to plant outdoors in the Xisha area. The environment, climate, and soil in the Xisha area make it difficult for plants to grow naturally in the wild."
"So, we've designed solutions to these problems one by one. You should all be familiar with these; they're the props we built into the game."
"First, in response to the extreme temperature differences and sunshine in the Xisha area, we selected varieties that are resistant to extreme temperature differences and drought for planting, and strictly planned the ecological levels to ensure that they are capable of growing under such climatic conditions.
At the same time, based on past research, we developed liquid mulch and used tools like shade nets to reduce damage from extreme temperature swings and sunlight. This not only effectively protects against wind and sand, but also helps stabilize the root systems of seedlings during their budding period.
"As for the soil problem, the soil in the Xisha area is sandy and saline, devoid of any nutrients, making it extremely difficult for plants to grow. Therefore, we have developed corresponding soil improvement technologies, using more natural methods such as adding organic matter and microbial agents to improve soil structure, increase soil fertility, and regulate soil acidity and alkalinity."
…
"I've seen everyone discussing the authenticity of the planting area. The reason is that they believe that other creatures on Dust Planet can't coexist harmoniously with plants."
"Here is a detailed list of purification data for you to review. After hundreds of years of adapting to the environment, the original herbivorous animals have completely changed their diet. They consume plants not for survival, but simply to purify the pollutants in their bodies.
So when the pollutants in their bodies are reduced to 30%-40% of their original levels, they can already coexist harmoniously with plants. However, we are still gradually exploring the content of harmonious coexistence between animals and plants, so we hope that people with relevant experience can join our team and work with us to explore better solutions."
"So far, not only in the Xisha area, but also in Gaojiang District and the ocean, small-scale ecological restoration projects are being carried out, and initial success has been achieved."
Photos of the ecological restoration areas in the ocean and Gaojiang District were released. Although they appear large, the plants there are not as well grown as in the Xisha District planting area.
"Plants take time to grow, so ecological restoration is an extremely long process. Given Dust Planet's current situation, it may take decades or even centuries for parts of the ecosystem to return to a stable state. But I firmly believe that as long as we work together and persevere, Dust Planet will one day return to its lush green state."
After the speech, everyone in the conference room stood up and thunderous applause echoed throughout the room. Hou Lin and Le Song clapped their hands until they were red.
Hou Yu also came to Xisha District today, and the two of them applauded her from the audience. When Ye Ning saw them, she smiled happily at them again.
Hou Sen's eyes were slightly red for a moment. He had witnessed Ye Ning's growth with his own eyes, so he knew very well how much Ye Ning had paid for it.
In fact, she doesn't need to reach this level. With her current level, she can get the crazy support of countless people just by moving her fingers every day.
But she still works hard every day to grow plants for everyone.
Ye Ning's voice was clean and clear, without excessive intonation or so-called passion. It seemed that she was just explaining something very simply.
But precisely because of this, the purity and sincerity in her words seemed to have penetrating power, and in the simplest way, they hit the softest part of everyone's heart.
Just watching her speech today reveals the depth of her knowledge of plants and ecological restoration. She must have been deeply involved in the entire process, which is why she spoke so eloquently and with such a detailed understanding.
Moreover, her explanation method is profound and easy to understand. Many complex concepts and problems are explained very clearly with simple examples and pictures. Even many animal people in front of the live broadcast screen who know nothing about plants can understand her.
"I want to apologize to Master Ye Ning. I actually doubted her abilities before! Her expertise is so strong that even ordinary researchers can't catch up. No wonder she can answer everyone's questions on the forum."
"Didn't the people in Gaojiang District just say that she works very hard? Every day she's either planting or learning how to plant."
"I don't know why, but I'm both moved and ashamed right now. Master Ye Ning works so hard for Haichen Star, but I live in a daze every day."
"I heard before that 'Source of Life' was funded by Lady Ye Ning herself. It was Lady Ye Ning's request that plant-related knowledge be built into the game for free, and that planting experience be shared with all districts for free. She really wasn't just saying those empty words."
…
The girl has an appearance that is hard to ignore, but it is not just her beauty. More importantly, her temperament and wisdom bring unprecedented hope and strength to everyone present.
At this moment, everyone developed a firm sense of trust in Ye Ning.
At the same time, Feng Yue and others who had been stopped at the door finally completed the complicated security check and disinfection process and arrived at the conference hall.
They heard thunderous applause from afar, which seemed to overturn the whole building.
"It's just a little cub, why are they so excited?"
Someone sneered, "Don't you know who those 100 people are? They're all so excited, and you still think that one of them is just an ordinary person?"
Another person raised his bracelet and said, "She's not a young cub, she's already 18. That's right around the time when her talent is at its peak. She's also beautiful and has top-tier talent. The internet is going crazy about her."
Everyone: ???
Feng Yue frowned and immediately looked at Gu Su: "Isn't she the little cub we met in Gaojiang District before?!"
Gu Su shook his head slightly: "I have been with you all the time, and I don't know the actual situation now."
At the time, Ye Ning had been in a corner, so no one had much of a memory of her. As for her photo, Gao Jiangqu explained that it was a stand-in for a little cub who looked similar to her.
There was no way she could suddenly transform from a cub into an adult, right?
Ye Nan said calmly, "Aren't we preparing to elect a new purely human president? I think she is the best candidate for the position."
Yan Gang's life or death has been unknown, but given the circumstances when he disappeared, no one has any hope of his safe return.
The position of pure human president has always been vacant, and someone new has to take over.
With the talent and appeal that Ye Ning has shown now, she is the most suitable candidate.
Feng Yue glanced at him and asked, "Did you see her planting plants with your own eyes?"
Someone nearby immediately retorted, "Why are you being so stubborn? There are so many plants in the Xisha area. Even if I were given so many Originium and Green Song Stones, I couldn't do it."
"That's right. Just because she can get District 3 to give her so many resources, she's no ordinary person."
Everyone pushed the door open and walked in.
The applause had not yet died down when the door was pushed open, and everyone felt as if their eardrums were about to be shattered.
But what shocked them even more was Ye Ning on the stage.
Beautiful, approachable, yet full of energy and vigor, she gives off a completely different vibe than any purely human being.
Ye Ning didn't expect them to arrive just now. It seemed that security check would indeed take a lot of time.
She was on the stage, and it wasn't very convenient for her to get off. So when everyone looked at her, she smiled and waved at them.
Someone immediately smiled back at her.
The attitude was completely different from the last time we met. Everyone was obviously much kinder and more polite.
Someone sighed softly, "No wonder she's such a hot topic. Just based on her face, she can attract countless orcs to her side."
…
Gu Su looked at Ye Ning who was surrounded by greenery on the stage, and it took some effort to suppress the throbbing in his heart.
Ye Ning glanced at the bracelet and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Only then did everyone stop applauding.
Ye Ning smiled and said, "It's almost time. I'll take everyone to the planting area. There's some bitter melon juice I prepared for you. Bitter melon juice has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. You can drink it while you visit. If you have any questions, you can ask me or the researchers who have been working with me."
"Of course, I'm still learning, and there's still a lot I don't understand. So I hope that in the future, more capable people will join our Ecological Research Institute and work with me to promote the ecological restoration of Dust Planet."
Ye Ning took the opportunity to advertise to the camera again, "I hope everyone will sign up enthusiastically. Our benefits are also very good. Everyone gets a fixed quota of plants every day. And you can enjoy a 40% discount on any product purchased in Zone 3."
“????”
"Ahhhhhh, is it too late for me to change my major now?"
"Help! Who said that plants can no longer be grown? Without the ability or backdoor, you can't touch them. Now I'm clueless and can only stare blankly!"
"Lord Ye Ning is so generous! I can see Lord Ye Ning every day and eat plants every day. What a magical job!"
…
Ye Ning left the stage first, and the host quickly went up to maintain order and prepared to take everyone to the planting area.
Hou Lin quickly fanned her and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I was so touched just now. And you are amazing. You are not nervous at all."
Ye Ning smiled, "These are all very common things, and even if I say something wrong, I don't think anyone would mind."
That's right. Hou Lin nodded. "With the aura you just exuded, even if you make 100 mistakes, people will still praise you for your fluency."
Le Song handed over the water cup he had brought with him, "Ye Ning's speech was superb, without any mistakes!"
Siros also took a step forward and handed her a handkerchief. "Do you want something to eat to replenish your energy?"
Ye Ning shook her head and just took the kettle that Le Song handed over.
She was indeed talking until her mouth was dry, but the system had not yet told her that the task was completed.
However, today's event has not ended yet. Maybe it will only be completed after the event is completely over?
With so many cameras filming, she'll have someone edit today's content and put it online for everyone to watch for free. If that's still not enough, she'll hold a lottery or hold more events.
Ye Ning drank the water thoughtfully and handed the kettle back to Le Song.
The people inside are already leaving one after another.
The plant scent on her body was too strong, and the impact it brought to everyone was so great that when everyone saw the other pure humans next to them, they no longer felt much.
As everyone walked out, they couldn't help but want to find Ye Ning.
"Shi Cong, this pure human in the Xisha area is incredible."
The capital region couldn't withstand the pressure in the end, so several professors temporarily formed a team to participate in this ranking competition.
But this time the competitors were so strong and numerous that in the end, only one team made it into the top 100, and that was after spending a lot of money.
Shi Cong nodded and his eyes fell on the plants on both sides.
Since they arrived in the Xisha Islands, they have seen at least thirty or forty species of plants along the way. The environment in the Xisha Islands is not suitable for most of these plants, but they are still full of vitality.
Shi Cong instantly thought of the announcement released at the beginning of the game. The research institute here can meet any requirements of researchers for plants.
Everyone walked outside one after another.
Ye Ning followed out.
When everyone saw her coming out, their eyes lit up and they immediately wanted to approach her. But as soon as they raised their feet, they saw several orcs following behind her.
Everyone stopped instantly.
"His Majesty Siros actually followed her."
"His Majesty Xiluos came all the way from the ocean early this morning. He traveled such a long distance back and forth, which shows how much he values Lord Ye Ning."
"Marine plants haven't been grown for so many years, but Lord Ye Ning has managed to grow them. The Empire should be secretly happy."
"Emperor Dragon is actually with Lord Ye Ning! And look, they all have Lord Ye Ning's badge on their chests."
"I just did a special search, and those three badges were designed by Master Ye Ning himself."
"Fuck, I'm going to buy it right now!"
"This can only be obtained through the game. After obtaining the relevant achievement badges in the game, you will be eligible to purchase the physical badge."
"Okay, okay, after all, it was designed by Master Ye Ning himself, so it's worth it no matter how hard it is to obtain. Does anyone have a guide to obtaining it?"
The pure human beside him couldn't help but click his tongue, "The Emperor Dragon actually followed her."
"I don't think he was very reluctant. Why did he always give us a murderous look before?"
"Even if he is willing to stay with you now, would you dare to accept it?"
The man immediately shook his head and said, forget it, he is not worthy of it.
Ye Ning's eyes searched the crowd and finally fell on Hou Sen.
"Teacher, Dean." Ye Ning ran over happily.
She hadn't seen Hou Sen for a while. After the situation in the planting room stabilized, Hou Sen had been busy with the rebels, the fusion of orcs and new pollutants.
So the two of them would only meet once in a while. But if Ye Ning had something delicious, she would have someone send it to him. If she knew that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, she would go to him and let him have a good rest.
Hou Sen's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to pat Ye Ning, he found that everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.
He unconsciously straightened his back, retracted his hand, and then respectfully called out, "Master Ye Ning."
Hou Sen has always been very respectful to her in front of outsiders because he feels that this is the only way to maintain her status as a pure human being.
Ye Ning had said once before that this was not necessary, but Hou Sen still insisted. They didn't do this in private anyway, so Ye Ning just let him do it.
She smiled and said, "Teacher, let's go. I'll take you to see the planting area."
The large planting area was still some distance away from here. After walking for a while, everyone began to unconsciously approach Ye Ning.
But if she got a little closer, she would immediately feel the strong pressure from Long Qi and Xilos, and then be carefully and politely blocked by the other orcs protecting her.
"It's so funny, how come they are getting closer and closer?"
"Lord Ye Ning's aura must be very unique, otherwise how could these big guys lose their composure like this?"
"Yes, there are so many pure humans around, but everyone is gathered around her. I really want to experience it for myself. I am going to Xisha District now. Will there be a chance to see Master Ye Ning in person?"
"Yes! Xisha District and Gaojiang District have talked about it. They will arrange for her to come out and meet everyone in a while!"
…
From a distance, everyone could see a large, lush green area in the distance. The camera robot flew over first.
The planting area, which is out of sight of the camera, appears clearly on the screen in 360 degrees without any blind spots.
"Oh my god! There are so many plants here!"
"Shit, I hear vultures and owls!"
"Look at that cactus, it's about two meters tall! I'm surprised I've ever seen such a big plant in my lifetime!"
"The area around it is empty, and it looks like they've planted some seedlings. This is more than 2,000 square meters, right? Are they continuing to expand?"
"I saw that it's now expanded to 4,000 square meters. Master Ye Ning is amazing! 4,000 square meters, there must be at least tens of thousands of plants in it. He said it was impossible before, so he must have been a liar. Come out and apologize!"
"Master Ye Ning's strength is unquestionable! I'm even thinking of moving to Xisha District now. With Master Ye Ning here and all these plants, Xisha District will develop in no time!"
…
The crowd's pace and walking speed kept getting faster and faster, and they soon arrived in front of the planting area.
It was hot outside and cold inside. Just by getting close, everyone could feel the coolness coming from inside.
They had just heard a detailed introduction, but seeing it with their own eyes gave them a different kind of shock.
The researcher next to them distributed bitter melon juice to everyone and gave them a detailed introduction.
Ye Ning brought a cup to everyone behind her, especially Xiluo Si and Long Qi.
Xilos was very happy, and Long Qi took it coldly.
"Because of the abundance of plants and the irrigation system underneath the ecological zone, the average temperature inside is about 10 degrees Celsius lower than outside, making it feel refreshing. Pollution concentrations are also maintained at a minimum level, even reaching below 10 degrees Celsius in the center of the planting area..."
Everyone smelled the bitter and fragrant taste of the bitter melon juice and couldn't help but take a sip.
In an instant, everyone's faces changed drastically. They didn't know whether to drink or spit.
"This is too hard to drink." Hou Lin complained in a low voice, he didn't even dare to put his tongue in his mouth.
Ye Ning nodded, then drank the whole cup with a normal expression, "But it's good for your health."
They have to leave a deeper impression on everyone to make the event worthwhile for all the effort they put into organizing it.
