Lu Lingxi was very surprised by the second evolution of the big willow tree in a short period of time, but he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to choose to evolve immediately. He still remembered the movement when the big willow tree evolved last time. The whole Lingshui Village was like an earthquake. What if the movement was even bigger this time? But he was unwilling to artificially suppress the evolution of the big willow tree, which obviously went against the purpose of the existence of the panel.
Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue with some embarrassment and talked about the evolution of the big willow tree. Yan Yue immediately understood Lu Lingxi's concerns. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It will definitely evolve, but we have to make some preparations in advance. No one knows how big the big willow tree's evolution will be this time. Just in case, it's best to gather all the villagers of Lingshui Village outside to avoid any accidents."
Lu Lingxi was also worried about this, fearing that someone might get hurt. But what excuse could he find to gather everyone outside? He thought for a moment and suggested, "On New Year's Eve, Lingshui Village set off fireworks. Uncle Li said it was quite lively and everyone went out to watch. How about we set them off again?"
Yan Yue thought this was a good idea. Not only could he find an opportunity to gather everyone outside, but he could also sell himself in front of the villagers. And since they were setting off fireworks, they could only do it at night. In this way, even if there was any movement, no one could see it clearly in the dark.
After the two of them discussed it, Lu Lingxi called home first. He said that there was something going on at the flower garden, and he had to stay in Lingshui Village for another day. After that, he also told Mr. Zhang specifically to avoid him going to the store to find him tomorrow. After he finished speaking, Yan Yue had already made arrangements with the head of Lingshui Village. In order to add an extra layer of insurance and make sure that all the villagers could be attracted, Yan Yue told the village head Li Dalei that he would set off fireworks for an hour and two movies. He remembered that there were those open-air outdoor movies, which were very convenient to show.
After Yan Yue said this, Li Dalei knew. A few years ago, Fengcheng held a cultural activity in the countryside, and the main attraction was this kind of open-air movie. Usually, when there are happy events in their village, they will also invite people to show a few movies. These arrangements are not difficult. Yan Yue paid and Li Dalei worked hard, and soon it was decided to start the movie at 6 pm, and then set off fireworks in the middle.
Li Dalei thought six o'clock was a little early, and the villagers probably hadn't eaten yet. But Yan Yue insisted, and Li Dalei had no choice but to inform the villagers early that the movie would be shown at six o'clock in the evening, and those who wanted to watch the movie had to eat early today.
Uncle Li could not hide their actions. Uncle Li listened to the words of thanks to Micro Gardening on the radio and whispered to himself: "Why did these two kids suddenly want to show movies to the village? They didn't have this intention before they left the house."
The old dog barked a few times, and Uncle Li laughed. He stretched out his rough hand and touched the old dog's head, and promised: "Okay, I'll take you to see it tonight."
Because they were worried about the big willow tree, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue did not stay in Qiutian Nursery for long. After finishing their work, they went to find Fang Lei and Xiao Shitou to go back to the village. When they arrived, Fang Lei and Xiao Shitou were eating grapes with Hu Zi in the house. These were newly picked and fresher than those bought in the market. Hu Zi warmly invited them to eat more and picked another basket for them to take with them when they left.
Hearing that Lu Lingxi was planning to go back, Hu Zi was a little surprised. Why was he in such a hurry to leave? Lu Lingxi explained that he was worried about the flower garden, and he was relieved that Hu Zi was watching over it.
Fang Lei keenly noticed that Lu Lingxi seemed to be worried about something. He quickly glanced at Yan Yue, but could not see anything on Yan Yue's face. Fang Lei couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but then he thought that with Yan Yue around, Lu Lingxi would be fine, so he was relieved.
After they returned to the village, Fang Lei learned that Lu Lingxi was going to show two movies in the village that night. Little Stone was so happy that he seemed to like the big gray cat and was no longer as hostile as he was at the beginning.
"Brother Xiaoxi, will you be there tonight?" Xiao Shitou asked Lu Lingxi expectantly.
Lu Lingxi nodded, "Yes, I'll go home tomorrow."
Little Stone immediately opened his mouth, revealing his small gap in front teeth.
Before Fang Lei came, he was going to see Xiao Shitou, pick up Da Hei and leave, but the appearance of the big gray cat stopped him from leaving. Now that the big gray cat has not been kidnapped yet, Fang Lei simply stayed in the village and joined in the fun at night. Anyway, he worked two days during the New Year, and today was considered a day off. If it was inconvenient to go home too late at night, he could stay at Uncle Li's house.
Lingshui Village was peaceful and tranquil until six in the evening. As soon as it got dark, the villagers gathered by the river to watch a movie. Fang Lei watched Little Stone and stopped him from running around, while Ah Huang stood guard beside Little Stone. Little Gray squatted on Fang Lei's shoulder with an arrogant look on his face. After a day, he had already used this place as his mobile soft chair. When he felt uncomfortable, he stretched out his claws and pulled Fang Lei's hair to remind him to move and adjust his position.
As the movie started, Xiao Hui suddenly became a little impatient. He stretched out his claws and scratched Fang Lei's shoulders several times. Fang Lei was quite helpless: "What's wrong with Mr. Cat?"
Xiao Hui narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the big willow tree, meowing a few times. Fang Lei followed his gaze and couldn't guess what Xiao Hui meant. Like Xiao Hui, Ah Huang's behavior was also a little strange. Xiao Shitou hugged Ah Huang and stroked its fur, and suddenly remembered something. He looked up at Fang Lei, "Uncle Fang, where is Brother Xiao Xi? Even Da Hei is not here?"
Fang Lei's heart moved, and he looked towards the direction of the village thoughtfully. It seemed that Yan Yue and Xiaoxi had stayed in the village and had not come out.
Under the big willow tree, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue did not go to watch a movie, but waited for the big willow tree to evolve. As Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel and selected yes, the huge root system of the big willow tree entrenched in the village expanded towards the surrounding area at a speed visible to the naked eye. But to their surprise, this evolution was silent, and there was no vibration from the ground.
Yan Yue guessed, "Is it because the roots are too deep that we can't feel them from the ground?"
Lu Lingxi didn't know either, but he still said cautiously: "Wait a little longer."
They waited until the fireworks were over, the movie was over, and the villagers began to go home one after another. Nothing happened for four hours, and Lu Lingxi couldn't tell whether he was relieved or not. He and Brother Yan had been worried for so long, but in the end there was no big shock they expected. It was like a full force but hitting cotton.
Yan Yue laughed at his expression, stretched out his hand to hold Lu Lingxi in his arms, and said with a smile: "Let's go back, there shouldn't be any problem."
Lu Lingxi yawned and nodded. He had been so tense before, and now he relaxed and fatigue surged through his body like a tide. He just wanted to go back and have a good sleep. The two of them went back to the courtyard hand in hand. Lu Lingxi half-closed his eyes and followed Yan Yue to wash up, and soon fell asleep.
In a daze, he felt as if someone was outside. Yan Yue went out and said something. Lu Lingxi rolled over with the quilt and muttered, "Who?"
Yan Yue's chuckle seemed to be heard faintly, and a soft kiss fell on his face. It was Yan Yue's voice, "Go to sleep, Fang Lei came over for something and has left."
Lu Lingxi subconsciously grabbed Yan Yue's arm, buried his face in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
At night, the whole Lingshui Village fell into silence. Unbeknownst to people, the roots of the big willow tree had sunk to the bottom of the Lingshui River and began to absorb the water indiscriminately. A large amount of river water was stored underground through the roots of the big willow tree, and the roots of the big willow tree entrenched under Lingshui Village gradually became thicker.
When it was almost dawn, a white panel floated out. Lu Lingxi woke up suddenly, rubbing his eyes and looking at the two lines of green words at the bottom of the panel.
"The third-level weeping willow evolution is complete, and the evolution direction is plant water storage +40%."
"The willow ecosystem is extended to ten standard units, with rewards of +2000 Heart of Plants and +10 Strength of Nature."
Lu Lingxi tapped on the white panel, and as his finger moved, the entire willow ecological community appeared on the panel. From Lingshui Village to the Shigou Village nursery, more than 20 green light spots formed a circle, and the soil inside had been purified into a white translucent state.
He opened his eyes wide in surprise, but before he could fully react, a new prompt appeared on the panel.
When 10,000 plant hearts are collected, the system will begin to upgrade.
The prompt on the panel was somewhat unexpected. Lu Lingxi realized that the panel had been upgraded again because of the plant heart he had just been rewarded.
"The system has been successfully upgraded. The mental scanning range has been expanded by 300 meters. The exchange function has been enabled. 5,000 points of plant heart can be exchanged for 1 point of natural force. 5 points of natural force can enable plant evolution. The system will randomly reward a bag of soybean seeds."
As the prompt appeared, Lu Lingxi had another palm-sized black package in his hand. This was not the first time, he was already very familiar with it. The only thing that surprised him was that the new function of the panel could actually consume natural force to promote plant evolution. But the price was a bit too high. It took 5 points of natural force to promote one evolution. He felt that he would definitely not be willing to give it up. But it was no wonder that he was deducted 5 points of natural force when he forced the winter grass to evolve last time. He was still surprised at the time, but now he thought that he was just experiencing the new function of the upgraded panel in advance.
Lu Lingxi couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he got up and put on his clothes. Yan Yue was awakened by his movement and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with Xiaoxi?"
Lu Lingxi leaned over and took the initiative to kiss Yan Yue, and whispered: "It's okay, the big willow tree has evolved, I want to go and see it."
Yan Yue came to his senses and said, "Wait for me, I'll go with you."
The early spring morning was still very cold, and Lu Lingxi wrapped himself in a down jacket and waited for Yan Yue to go out together. The wind blew, and Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, only to find that the air outside was not dry at all, but rather had a moist feeling after the rain.
He talked about this feeling with Yan Yue in a somewhat strange way, and Yan Yue also felt that it seemed a little bit. You know, Fengcheng is located in the north of China, and the winter is always dry. What's more, there has been no snow this winter, which makes it even drier.
The two went out with doubts, and saw from afar that there seemed to be a person standing in front of the big willow tree.
"Fang Lei?" Yan Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering, "What is he doing there?"
Lu Lingxi glanced at Fang Lei, and his eyes were quickly attracted by the greenery in front of the big willow tree. It was still early spring in February, but looking around, the area around the big willow tree was already lush and green. Clusters of grass had sprouted overnight, and the green color was eye-catching, and the rich vitality filled his nose.
