On a scorching summer day, the blazing sun roasted the earth, making all the creatures exposed to the scorching sun feel a little weak. Under the sun, there was a stern reprimand in front of an ordinary house.
"Keep your child in check. Don't let him go out of the city. Don't you know how dangerous it is outside the city now?"
"Planting trees outside the city? To think that he would do such a thing. Humph! He is lucky this time. One of our patrolling teams discovered him. If not, what would you have done?"
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Comrades, my child has caused you trouble."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. Upon seeing the sweat on the faces of the two soldiers who had come over, he quickly said, "Comrade, come in and have a drink.
Come in and have a drink of water. "
"No, we still have to patrol. The person has been sent here. We should go." After speaking, the two soldiers turned around and left the entrance of the house. However, before they left, the two soldiers reminded him again out of concern, "Remember, if he doesn't have the power of a cultivator, you must not let him leave the city again."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
After the two soldiers left, the middle-aged man looked at the young man who had been sent back with a worried look on his face. When he realized that there were no beast scars on his child, a stern expression appeared on his face. "Lin Yao, how dare you run out of the city? I'll beat you to death today."
Upon seeing that he was about to be beaten up, Lin Yao, who had been calm all this while, also had a change of expression.
"I didn't go far. It is dangerous outside the city, but the soldiers and combat teams have cleared the area within a 30-kilometer radius of our town. I only played within a mile of the city wall and didn't go deep …"
"How dare you talk back to me? Remember this. You are not allowed to step out of the city gate."
Upon seeing that his father was angry and was looking for a stick, Lin Yao could only look at his mother for help, hoping that she, who doted on him, could help persuade his father. However, after turning his head, Lin Yao discovered that the woman who had doted on him in the past was now helping his father find a stick. Lin Yao understood that he would not be able to escape this beating.
"I really didn't go far …"
"Well, where is my stick?"
"I was wrong. I will never leave the city again."
…
After some torment, Lin Yao lay on his bed with his buttocks aching.
Staring blankly ahead, Lin Yao thought of his parents' anger. This made him feel that he had been a little rash in leaving the city, but he had no regrets.
"There are countless dangers outside the city. Even if there are soldiers and battalions constantly clearing the area, there are still monsters that can get close to the city. This is also the reason why my father is angry, but I have to test it out."
With this thought in mind, Lin Yao\'s mind jolted, and his consciousness moved from his body to his Sea of Consciousness.
Separating one\'s consciousness and transferring it to the Sea of Consciousness was not something a martial artist could do, but Lin Yao did it easily.
The reason for this was also related to Lin Yao's background.
He was not from this world, but from the Blue Planet, a parallel world. He could be considered a traveler.
Most transmigrators had a system with them. Lin Yao felt helpless. He, who had transmigrated, also had a special ability. However, he did not know if his ability was considered a system.
Lin Yao still remembered clearly what had happened before he had transmigrated. He clearly remembered that he had been about to buy something online a moment before he had transmigrated. It was not the online shopping that had caused Lin Yao to transmigrate. He had not bought an antique. It was the payment software that had caused him to transmigrate.
\ 'At the time, after I paid, I accidentally saw an icon about planting trees and protecting the environment. I was amazed by the generosity of The Ant Forest and wanted to contribute a little. Therefore, I opened that interface … and then tragedy struck me.\'
Yes, the reason Lin Yao had transmigrated was The Ant Forest. After transmigrating, an image of a small sapling had appeared in his mind.
\ 'People transmigrate in games. They can kill people and gain points to gain skills and attributes. What can I do with a tree-planting ability? Be a gardener?\ '
At the time, Lin Yao had felt helpless. However, this was something that was bound to his soul, so Lin Yao had studied it carefully.
However, the interface was too simple and crude, and there was only a small sapling. At the same time, Lin Yao had played very little with The Ant Forest. In fact, he had only opened it a few times. On the day he had transmigrated, he had only opened the icon on impulse. Due to various reasons, his exploration had not been very smooth.
In the beginning, Lin Yao had thought of using the method of his original world, which was to walk and save energy, to allow the small tree in the Sea of Consciousness to grow. However, this plan had failed.
As for stealing energy, the small tree, which was bound to his soul, did not have any friends. Therefore, he had given up on this idea. Afterward, Lu Chen thought of killing people in the ordinary system to advance.
Of course, Lin Yao would not dare kill people directly, and he would not have the chance to do so. He was killing chickens.
\ 'Many beginner monsters in the game are weak chicken-type monsters. Although killing them gives little experience, it should allow the small sapling to grow.\'
Unfortunately, although Lin Yao had a beautiful dream, he failed in the end.
Lin Yao had even found a way to enter a slaughterhouse and spend some money to kill some pigs. However, he still did not gain any energy. This made Lu Chen realize that ordinary methods were useless.
In desperation, Lin Yao thought that the ultimate goal of The Ant Forest was to plant trees in the desert. He simply skipped the process and decided to try planting trees to see if he could gain energy.
For this reason, he planted a small tree in the park, but this still did not work.
After various attempts, Lin Yao was already desperate. If this had been a normal world, he would have most likely given up on this useless tree-planting system and taken another path. Anyway, Lin Yao was not completely useless. He could still survive without the system.
However, this world was unusual. Based on some of the memories he had obtained during the integration, Lin Yao knew that the early development of this world was similar to that of the Blue Planet. However, the arrival of the Spirit Energy Revival had changed everything. More importantly, this was a world decades after the Spirit Energy Revival. The Spirit Energy Revival had brought new possibilities to humans, but it had also brought about countless monsters. Until now, the whole world was still shrouded in danger.
Of course, if this was all, Lin Yao would not have been so radical as to go outside the city to plant trees. He did not need the two sergeants or his father to tell him about the dangers involved. However, an incident three days ago had stimulated Lin Yao.
That day, Lin Yao had discovered on the Internet that a medium-sized town, which was only 500 kilometers away, had been breached by monsters.
Although the human army had subsequently pressed on and reclaimed the town, the death toll in the city had reached 500,000 in just a few days.
500 kilometers and 500,000 people … These two figures had stimulated Lin Yao and made him understand that it was too difficult to live a stable life in this world. There were dangers everywhere. Only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and his family.
Unfortunately, although he was not a good-for-nothing in this world, he was just a mediocre person. He could only practice martial arts and literature as an ordinary person, graduate as an ordinary person, and then drift with the crowd as an ordinary person.
He would naturally be fine when everything was fine, but once the defense of the town was breached, despair would definitely be waiting for him.
'I will never leave my life to luck. '
He did not want this to happen. Therefore, in order to activate the small sapling in his mind, he took the risk of leaving the city, hoping to plant trees outside the city.
Unfortunately, after planting the trees outside the city and entering the space of consciousness again, Lin Yao was distressed to find that there was still only a small sapling here.
Lin Yao's space of consciousness was not small. A small green sapling was growing in the center, surrounded by a thick gray fog. There was also an open space between the fog and the sapling. Unfortunately, Lu Chen had tested it. This open space seemed to be composed of souls and consciousness, so it could not be used as a storage space.
