The evolutionary direction of Victoria regia is the same as that of the big willow tree, and there are two options: 1) Water purification +20% 2) Carrying capacity +20% Lu Lingxi's eyes fell on the second option. He knew that Victoria regia had a high load capacity. A leaf with a diameter of about 1.5 meters can carry a weight of 60 kilograms. In the place of origin of Victoria regia, it can even be used as a small boat. But for Lu Lingxi, Victoria regia's carrying capacity +20% has no practical effect. He looked at Yan Yue with some inquiry, and Yan Yue nodded, supporting him to choose the first option.
As Lu Lingxi chose OK, the white panel disappeared.
Yan Yue sensed it keenly, "Are you sure?"
Lu Lingxi nodded. The two did not return to the courtyard immediately, but sat on the steps beside the pond like the day before yesterday. Lu Lingxi was a little curious, "Brother Yan, what do you think the Victoria amazonica will look like after it evolves? Will it have a well-developed root system like a big willow tree or will its leaves become larger?"
Yan Yue didn't know much about Victoria regia, but he felt the latter was more likely than the former.
Lu Lingxi was worried when he heard this. "If the leaves get bigger, how should I explain it to Mr. Li tomorrow?"
Yan Yue couldn't help laughing at the fact that something that was not confirmed could make the boy so worried. He was about to comfort Lu Lingxi, but suddenly his eyes changed and stared at the surface of the pond. With the Victoria amazonica in the center of the pond as the center, waves of ripples began to spread outward. Lu Lingxi also noticed it. He just took a look and was pulled up by Yan Yue and stepped back several steps. Considering the movement of the big willow tree during its evolution, Yan Yue was very worried that the evolution of Victoria amazonica would bring about a small "tsunami". His worry was not unnecessary. The ripples on the water surface were getting faster and faster, and the shock was getting bigger and bigger. The leaves of Victoria amazonica began to stretch in all directions, and the waves stirred up hit the steps where the two had sat before.
Although he was mentally prepared, Yan Yue was still shocked when he saw the evolution of Victoria Victoria for the first time. Even the illusion that the evolution of the willow tree caused an earthquake did not give him this feeling. He realized very clearly that some irreversible changes were happening in the world, and the white panel on Lu Lingxi seemed to be the driving force behind everything, or the source.
This realization made Yan Yue's expression solemn. He had countless thoughts in an instant, but he turned his head to look at Lu Lingxi. The boy had a simple expression, looking at the water surface nervously, and his thoughts were simply focused on the evolution of the royal water lily. He didn't realize what the evolution he brought about meant. In the boy's eyes, the evolution of royal water lily = water purification = environmental improvement, and there were no other messy thoughts at all. Yan Yue looked at it and suddenly laughed. When the boy first told him about the panel, he had thought about why the panel chose the boy among the billions of people in China and the billions of people in the world? Because the boy likes flowers and plants? Loves nature?
Not to mention the whole world, there are many people in China who like flowers and plants and love nature. Why did the panel only pick the boy? He couldn't find the answer, but just now, he seemed to understand. It was because the boy was simple, had no ambition, and had no complicated thoughts. He just regarded the panel as a handy tool. After figuring it out, the solemnity on Yan Yue's face disappeared, and his eyes gradually softened. He reached out and rubbed the boy's hair lovingly, and decided not to think about those fussy thoughts anymore, and let everything go with the flow.
The two of them stayed by the pond until after ten o'clock, and the vibrations on the water surface did not stop. The good news was that although the leaves of the Victoria amazonica had grown larger, they had not grown too much, so they should be able to fool Mr. Li tomorrow. The bad news was that a lot of water had come out of the pond, so they would probably have to add water again tomorrow.
Lu Lingxi felt a little sleepy and yawned slightly. Yan Yue saw it, held his hand and said, "Let's go back."
"Okay." Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.
"Dahei, come up." Yan Yue called out to the pond.
As soon as he saw the pond, Dahei jumped in. Although the evolution of Victoria amazonica made a lot of noise, Dahei didn't seem to be afraid. Instead, he was very excited and had a lot of fun playing with the waves. When he heard Yan Yue calling him, Dahei pricked up his ears, slowly swam back to the edge of the pond, and jumped out of the water with a light jump. He shook his body calmly, the water drops on his head fell off, and he squinted his eyes and called out to Lu Lingxi softly.
Lu Lingxi laughed, and somehow understood what Dahei meant. Dahei probably felt that he had eaten too much, so he swam around in the pond to consume what he had eaten, just like humans taking a walk after eating too much. Dahei had obviously digested most of it, and he was just telling him.
"Good job, Dahei!" Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head and praised him generously.
Dahei barked again and trotted in front of the two of them.
At night, Yan Yue locked Dahei outside the door. He dug out the mat that Dahei had used last time from under the flowerpot, and told Dahei that this was where he would sleep at night, and it would be useless even if he hid it. Yan Yue had a very good reason. Dahei was soaked in water, and there was no hair dryer here, so it was not convenient for him to sleep on the bed when he was wet. As for why he had to sleep outside the door, Yan Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lu Lingxi with a burning gaze, the implication behind it was simply naked.
Lu Lingxi thought of what he had promised Yan Yue before, and the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably.
Without Lu Lingxi to speak for Dahei, Dahei held the cushion to the door with grievance, and lay on it to block the door, like a black door god. Yan Yue curled his lips in satisfaction and closed the door. The lights in the room dimmed quickly, and Yan Yue kissed Lu Lingxi in the darkness. Just like last time, he turned the boy over and over and kissed him, coaxing Lu Lingxi softly. Lu Lingxi stretched out his hand shyly, and Yan Yue's breathing became heavy. He lowered his head and kissed Lu Lingxi on the forehead, coaxing: "Be good."
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, Yan Yue got up refreshed. He was thinking about filling the pond with water before Mr. Li came. It was not yet six o'clock and it was a little dark outside. Yan Yue put on his clothes quietly and lowered his head to kiss Lu Lingxi on the lips. Lu Lingxi didn't feel Yan Yue's movement at all. He curled up in the quilt and slept soundly. His exposed body was covered with spots of kisses, which made Yan Yue almost lose control again.
Yan Yue suppressed the throbbing in his heart and gently opened the door. Dahei immediately got up and squatted in front of him. "Don't wake up Xiaoxi." Yan Yue whispered. He didn't know when he got used to talking to Dahei as a human. It seemed that in his mind, there was no concept that Dahei might not understand this.
Dahei narrowed his eyes, jumped over Yan Yue and jumped onto the kang, lying quietly beside Lu Lingxi. Yan Yue felt relieved and walked towards the pond with the water pipe.
When Uncle Li arrived, Yan Yue had already refilled the pond with water. The Victoria amazonica was making quite a stir last night, and the water in the pond was almost half gone. Uncle Li looked at the Victoria amazonica in the middle of the pond with some surprise, and said to Yan Yue uncertainly, "Is this leaf different from yesterday? Why does it feel bigger than yesterday?"
Yan Yue looked at it several times in a very cooperative manner and said affirmatively: "It's the same as yesterday."
Uncle Li wondered if he remembered it wrongly and began to doubt himself.
The two of them had almost finished taking care of the flower garden, and Lu Lingxi rubbed his eyes and got up. He slept late yesterday, and Yan Yue was busy for a long time, so Lu Lingxi was really sleepy. Looking at the time, it was already past seven o'clock, so Lu Lingxi simply didn't go to the flower garden. He washed his face, tidied up, and started planning with Dahei in his arms.
The evolution of Victoria regia pointed him in a direction. Just as the purification of land depends on terrestrial plants, the purification of water requires aquatic plants. Unfortunately, Victoria regia grew too big and too conspicuous. He could not transplant it to Lingshui River. If any villagers asked about it, it would be difficult to explain. However, without Victoria regia, there are other aquatic plants. Just as willows are not the only terrestrial plants that evolve in the direction of purifying the soil, Lu Lingxi believes that there must be other aquatic plants that will evolve in the same direction as Victoria regia.
He was thinking about what to plant in the water tank when he got back. The most common ones were various water plants, as well as mosses and other algae. If these plants could really evolve to have the same effect as Victoria regia, they could be promoted on a large scale in China. This would be much more convenient than promoting Victoria regia.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi suddenly stood up, called Dahei, and said, "Let's go to the river."
Generally, there are some water plants growing in small rivers. He remembered that he seemed to have seen a lot of water grass growing at the bottom of Lingshui River last time. Water grass, also known as water lily, is a submerged plant belonging to aquatic plants. It has creeping stems and most of them grow in streams, rivers, ponds and lakes. Lu Lingxi didn't care when he saw water grass at the bottom of Lingshui River last time, but just now he suddenly realized that the Lingshui River was so polluted, and the water grass could still survive. This itself proved that the water grass had a certain resistance to the toxic and harmful substances in the water of Lingshui River. If some water grass was transplanted from the bottom of Lingshui River, the direction of evolution might be to purify the water like Victoria amazonica.
Lu Lingxi moved as soon as he said it, and ran towards Lingshui River with Dahei. Before the man and the dog reached the river, they smelled a foul odor from a distance. Since he had the panel, Lu Lingxi was very sensitive to the smell of pollution, and frowned a little uncomfortably. He ran a few more steps forward and saw a black river.
The current Lingshui River is not spiritual at all, and it can be renamed the Black Water River. Lu Lingxi endured the odor and sent out a mental scan, fixed on a clump of bitter grass at the bottom of the river. He was about to find a stick to pick out the clump of bitter grass, and suddenly he glanced at the status of the bitter grass on the panel.
Botanical name: Vallisneria vulgaris
Lu Lingxi was stunned. This was the second mutant plant he had found. He had never expected to encounter it in such a situation. But what did the column of plant requirements mean? Lu Lingxi was a little confused.
