There are many flowers and plants in the micro garden, and when scanning the backyard, all the green plants are in the primary state before evolution, and only after evolution will they become level one. But this big willow tree is already level one without evolution, and I wonder what it will look like after evolution.
As evolutionary conditions were triggered, the evolutionary direction of the willow was revealed.
1) Absorbing carbon dioxide +20% 2) Soil purification +20%
Lu Lingxi's attention fell on soil evolution. He knew that the roots of green plants could absorb, transform and degrade toxic and harmful substances in the soil. Compared with absorbing carbon dioxide, the role of soil purification is obviously more urgent at present.
Through the white panel, Lu Lingxi could see that the root system of the big willow tree was very developed, tangled and extending in all directions. The deepest roots seemed to be more than ten meters long, and the farthest roots in other directions had exceeded the range of soil evolution and passed Uncle Li's house.
While Yan Yue's attention was elsewhere, Lu Lingxi decisively chose soil purification. After solving this problem, he was thinking about going back to the flower garden to check on other green plants when a new prompt appeared at the bottom of the panel.
Do homoplasmic willows select for homoplasmic evolution?
Willow trees from the same origin? Lu Lingxi thought of the small willow seedlings in the flowerbed and simply chose yes.
His attention was all on the panel, and he didn't notice that when he chose yes, Yan Yue quickly turned his head to look at him, then refocused his attention on the children playing under the willow tree.
It was not the first time that Yan Yue smelled the fragrance of plants from Lu Lingxi. This fragrance was usually very light. Dong Zhi had mentioned it by accident last time, and he just thought it was the scent of green plants that Lu Lingxi was exposed to in micro-gardening every day. But there were a few times when this fragrance suddenly became intense, not aggressively strong, but as if it surrounded the whole person and soaked into it. It was like a green mountain after a new rain, extremely fresh.
Yan Yue's heart was slightly moved, but his face showed no clues. He vaguely guessed that the boy had a secret, but no matter what the secret was, the boy was becoming less and less guarded in front of him. To some extent, it also meant that the boy and he were getting closer and closer.
The fragrance he smelled gradually faded. Yan Yue seemed to have just withdrawn his gaze and looked down at Lu Lingxi, "Have you finished reading?"
Lu Lingxi nodded, "Brother Yan, let's go back."
Yan Yue curled his lips and took advantage of the night to hold Lu Lingxi's hand. The weather was not good tonight. Clouds covered the sky for half a day. There was no moonlight. There were no street lights at the entrance of the village, only the weak light of flashlights. Occasionally, villagers who passed by did not notice the little movements of the two.
"Walk slower." Yan Yue whispered, afraid that Lu Lingxi didn't pay attention to the stones under his feet.
Lu Lingxi hummed and held Yan Yue's hand tightly. Dahei trotted ahead of the two, looking back at them from time to time. Back in the courtyard, Lu Lingxi used the excuse of tidying up the flowerbed to evolve all the plants that could evolve in one go. This was a much more complex project than micro-gardening. Fortunately, the flowerbed was divided into different areas according to the different plants planted, and the plants in the same area could choose to evolve in the same way, saving a lot of time.
By the time Lu Lingxi finished everything, it was almost eleven o'clock, and Yan Yue urged him to go to bed quickly.
"If you sleep late, you won't grow tall."
After Lu Lingxi finished washing up, he suddenly ran to Yan Yue, stood on tiptoe to compare the height difference between him and Yan Yue, and said with some longing: "I also want to be as tall as Brother Yan."
Yan Yue smiled, reached out to hug him, and shook him up, "Is this high enough?"
"It's a bit high." Lu Lingxi said seriously. His center of gravity was unstable and all his weight was on Yan Yue. From where he was standing, it had already exceeded Yan Yue's head.
Yan Yue cooperated and lowered it a little, "How about this?"
Lu Lingxi was now at the same height as Yan Yue. Their eyes met. Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue with sparkling eyes and nodded vigorously. "This height is good enough."
Yan Yue's smile deepened, and he leaned forward and gently kissed Lu Lingxi's lips. Lu Lingxi wanted to retreat in embarrassment, but was stopped by Yan Yue. He had wanted to kiss Lu Lingxi for a long time, and it was difficult to forget the sweetness of a young man. He wanted to kiss Lu Lingxi all the time.
Although it was not their first kiss, Lu Lingxi still had not learned how to breathe, so Yan Yue had to stop midway and wait for the boy to catch his breath. He rubbed the boy's lips with some attachment, which were as soft as the new buds on the branches in March, making him reluctant to leave.
"Xiaoxi, I hope you grow up quickly." Yan Yue whispered, gently touching Lu Lingxi's face.
Lu Lingxi was breathless from his kiss, her eyelashes trembling, and she was still wondering what the relationship was between his growing up and the present.
Yan Yue knew from his expression that Lu Lingxi didn't understand anything, so he didn't explain. He just smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed Lu Lingxi on the forehead, with a cherishing and pious attitude.
At night, Yan Yue and Dahei slept on either side of Lu Lingxi. Although Yan Yue wanted to use the excuse that Dahei had not taken a bath and let him sleep on the floor, before he opened his mouth, Lu Lingxi had already carefully wiped Dahei's belly and four paws with a towel. Yan Yue could only bear it and had to acquiesce to Dahei sleeping next to Lu Lingxi.
The night in September was already a little cold, and Lu Lingxi found a thin quilt from the cupboard. Yan Yue held Lu Lingxi in his arms, and the two of them fell asleep together under the quilt.
The whole village fell into silence, and no one knew what was happening underground. The big willow tree at the entrance of the village began to evolve, and its originally well-developed root system gradually expanded outward, spreading in all directions and almost covering the entire village. The few small willow seedlings in the flowerbed also began to evolve, and their originally thin roots began to grow thicker and longer, with some taking root underground and some spreading outward.
At the other end of the village, several mop-like willow seedlings were planted crookedly in the yard. This was picked up by Grandpa Xu from the village at the entrance of the village one morning. The old man felt sorry for these willow seedlings and was reluctant to burn them. He came back and planted them in the yard to see if they could survive.
The roots of the big willow tree extended over and entangled with the roots of the small willow tree.
Discovering homologous seedlings, do they share the same vitality?
The panel appeared without warning. Lu Lingxi opened his eyes dazedly, chose yes, and buried his head in Yan Yue's arms again.
There was a slight vibration from the ground, and Dahei, who was sleeping on the kang, immediately opened his eyes with a twitch of his ears and cried out. Yan Yue was the first to wake up, and Dahei had already approached Lu Lingxi, stretching out his front paws to pull him. Yan Yue calmed down and reacted immediately, and he also felt the vibration from the ground.
"earthquake."
Lu Lingxi was not fully awake yet, and asked vaguely: "What's wrong?"
Yan Yue didn't bother to say anything, he just rolled up the quilt to wrap Lu Lingxi, and ran to the yard with him in his arms. Dahei followed closely behind the two of them, looking around vigilantly.
The vibration underground was not obvious, only a slight tremor. They were not the only ones awakened, the dogs in the village began to bark, and lights were turned on one after another, and the whole village became noisy.
Yan Yue didn't run out, didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the yard holding Lu Lingxi. Their yard was right next to the road, surrounded by flat land. The yard was large enough that even if the house collapsed, it would not fall on anyone. It was safest to stay in the yard at this time, and running out was stupid.
As the night wind blew, Lu Lingxi finally woke up completely.
"What's wrong with Brother Yan?" Lu Lingxi realized his current situation and asked blankly.
Yan Yue lowered her head and kissed him on the eyes, coaxing him in a low voice: "It's okay, it might be an earthquake."
"Earthquake?" Lu Lingxi struggled to get out of bed.
Yan Yue stopped him, "Don't move, I'll just hold you."
The vibrations underground were getting weaker and weaker. It seemed that the epicenter was far enough away from them. They were just affected and should be fine.
Lu Lingxi was still reacting to the news of the earthquake when a white panel emerged and floated in front of him.
The Willow Biome is extended to a standard unit, with a bonus of +5 Force of Nature.
Lu Lingxi blinked, not understanding what was happening. He remembered that he seemed to dream of a white panel, as if they were sharing some kind of vitality. Was it not a dream? He looked at the panel in confusion, and the willow ecological community displayed on it had changed. It had expanded from the original village head to the flower garden to the entire village. Six green light spots, including the big willow tree, were flashing all the time. Far away at the other end of the village, there were four more green light spots, facing the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.
Ten green spots of light formed a circle around the entire village, and the land inside had been completely purified into a translucent white state.
The underground tremor completely disappeared, and Lu Lingxi began to understand. It was probably not an earthquake, but the big willow tree was evolving.
"It's okay." Yan Yue lowered his head and kissed Lu Lingxi, "Let's stay outside for a while and go back later."
Lu Lingxi hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell Yan Yue about the white panel. As he was hesitating, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
"Are you all right, little one?"
It was Uncle Li's voice. He saw the light on here and hurried over to ask.
"It's okay." Yan Yue answered loudly, carrying Lu Lingxi back to the house. "I'll go open the door for Uncle Li." He said as he quickly put on his clothes, "Xiaoxi, you're not scared, right?"
Lu Lingxi shook his head, spread out the quilt, found his shorts and put them on.
Yan Yue touched Dahei, motioned it to accompany Lu Lingxi, and walked out quickly.
Soon the voices of Yan Yue and Uncle Li talking could be heard.
"Are you scared? Actually, it's nothing, just a slight shake. There are frequent earthquakes here in Fengcheng, you'll get used to it." Uncle Li spoke with a tone of someone who has experienced a lot.
Yan Yue smiled and said, "Not bad."
"I hope the little kid wasn't scared."
Uncle Li walked into the house and comforted Lu Lingxi for a long time when he saw him. Lu Lingxi wanted to say that he was not afraid, but facing Uncle Li's loving eyes, he could only swallow the words on his lips.
