After collecting the mushrooms, Li Yao started walking back. She had done her shopping for the day and wanted to go back and have a proper meal.
Taking a different route than before, Li Yao teleported slowly back.
After turning past a large tree, she suddenly smelled a very fragrant aroma. She quickly shut off her sense of smell and took out her gas mask.
Using his spiritual power to take a closer look, he saw a large patch of wild night-blooming jasmine in front of him.
Night-blooming jasmine, also known as night-fragrant tree, is a species belonging to the genus Night-blooming jasmine in the family Rubiaceae.
The leaves are heart-shaped with soft hairs along the edges. Every summer and autumn, clusters of small, yellowish-green, bell-shaped flowers bloom in the leaf axils. When the moon rises above the treetops, they emit a sweet fragrance that repels mosquitoes, making them an excellent mosquito repellent.
This night-blooming jasmine also exhibits unusual energy fluctuations, indicating that it has mutated as well, and it's still so fragrant even though it's not its blooming season.
Li Yao asked the system, "What's going on?"
System [Night-blooming jasmine, mutated level 2 plant, fragrance spreads 50 meters, has strong mosquito and insect repellent properties, which increase with the level of special ability]
Upon hearing that this was a good thing, Li Yao observed it more closely and found that many insects were indeed avoiding it.
Li Yao decided to take it back.
It's not summer now, so there aren't many mosquitoes. Besides, she spends most of her time in the [Spirit Spring Space] and hasn't been bothered by mosquitoes much. The robots usually spray mosquito repellent. But next year might be different. Plants and animals are mutating, so how far away can insects be?
She needs to plan ahead.
She wanted all of them. Li Yao told the system, "[6834, pluck up the entire patch of soil, dig down 1 meter, and plant it in the mountain hotel later.]"
System [Good Host]
Before long, all that remained in front of Li Yao was a large, irregularly shaped pit.
She asked the system, "[6834, are there any mutated herbs on this island that can repel mosquitoes and insects?]"
"Yes, host," the system replied.
Li Yao opened the system panel and saw that there were indeed a few more places. She teleported to the first place and saw that it was mutated lemongrass.
Lemongrass is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Poaceae family.
In pharmacology, lemongrass is also considered to have many medicinal values.
Lemongrass leaves and stems are rich in essential oils, which have antibacterial, antioxidant, calming and pain-relieving, digestive-improving, and deodorizing effects.
Lemongrass essential oil can also be used to regulate mood and promote sleep.
In addition, lemongrass also has mosquito-repellent properties. Because of its lemon scent, it is also known as lemongrass, and its aroma can repel mosquitoes and fleas.
This mutated lemongrass is much larger, with each stalk being over a meter tall, like a tree, and its scent is indeed much stronger.
The surrounding insects all avoided it, and Li Yao was very satisfied. After discussing with the system, she decided to leave one plant here and put the rest of the more than one hundred plants, along with the soil, into her space.
Teleporting to the next location, Li Yao saw a vast expanse of magnolia flowers.
Magnolia alba is a perennial orchid native to Southeast Asia, also known as the "Phalaenopsis orchid".
Magnolia denudata is pure white and fragrant, blooming in summer and autumn. It has a long flowering period, with white or slightly yellow flowers, thick petals, long lanceolate shape, and a strong fragrance.
These flowers contain linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, methyl eugenol, and other components that can effectively repel mosquitoes.
The mutated magnolia flower was still blooming outside of its flowering season, and its flowers were significantly larger and had a stronger fragrance than any magnolia flower Li Yao had seen before.
After the system confirmed that the mutated magnolia was harmless to humans and could repel insects and mosquitoes, Li Yao left one plant here, soil and all, and took away 258 plants herself with tears in her eyes.
