In the hot summer, the blazing sunshine grilled the earth, making all living things exposed to the scorching sun feel weak. Under this sunshine, there was a stern scolding in front of an ordinary house.
"Take care of your child and don't let him leave the city. Don't you know how dangerous it is outside the city now?"
"Planting trees outside the city is a lucky thing for him to do such a thing. Well, he was lucky this time. We had a team patrolling and found him. If we didn't find out that something happened, I'll see what you should do!"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, comrades, my child has caused you trouble."
The speaker was a middle-aged man. Seeing the sun-drenched sweat on the faces of the two sergeants who came over, he quickly said:
"Comrade, come in and have a drink."
"No, we still have to patrol. The people have been sent here. It's time for us to leave." After the words fell, the two sergeants turned and left the door of the residence. However, when they left, the two sergeants said worriedly. A concerned warning came: "Remember, without the strength of a warrior, he must not be allowed to leave the city again."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
After the two sergeants left, the middle-aged man looked at the young man who was sent back with a worried look on his face. When he found that there were no wild beast scars on his child, he turned to a stern expression: "Lin Yao, Are you so brave that you ran out of the city to see if I don't beat you to death today?"
Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Lin Yao, who had always been calm, changed his expression.
"I didn't run far. It's dangerous outside the city, but the thirty-kilometer radius of our town has been cleared by the sergeants and battle groups. I just played within a mile of the city wall and didn't go deep..."
"You still dare to talk back, remember, you are not allowed to step out of the city gate."
Seeing his father getting angry and looking for a stick, Lin Yao could only look at his mother for help, hoping that she, who doted on him, could help persuade him. However, when he turned around, Lin Yao discovered that the woman who doted on him in the past was... At this time, he was helping his father find a stick. This made Lin Yao understand that he could not escape from this beating.
"I really didn't run far..."
"Well, here's my stick!"
"I was wrong, I will never leave the city again."
…
After some tossing, Lin Yao lay on his bed with pain in his butt.
Staring ahead blankly, Lin Yao thought of his parents' anger, which made him feel that he was a little reckless when he left the city, but he had no regrets.
"There are countless dangers outside the city. Even with the continuous cleaning up by sergeants and battle groups, there are still monsters that can come near the town. This is also the reason why my father is angry, but I have to test it."
Thinking of this, Lin Yao's mind moved, and his consciousness had transferred from his body to the sea of consciousness.
Separating consciousness alone and transferring to the sea of consciousness is not something that a warrior can do, but Lin Yao did it easily.
The reason for this is also related to Lin Yao's origin.
He is not a person from this world, but a Blue Star from a parallel world, a time traveler.
Most of the time-travelers are accompanied by the system. Lin Yao's helplessness is that he also has special abilities after traveling through time-travel, but he doesn't know whether his ability counts as a system.
Lin Yao still clearly remembers what happened before the time travel. He clearly remembers that he was planning to shop online just before he traveled through time. It was not the online shopping that made Lin Yao travel through time. What he bought was not antiques that made him travel through time. The thing is that payment software.
"It seems that after I paid, I accidentally saw an icon about planting trees for environmental protection. I was impressed by the generosity of Ant Forest and wanted to do my best, so I opened the interface... and then it was tragic. .”
Yes, the reason why Lin Yao traveled across the world was the ant forest, and after traveling through the world, the image of a small sapling also appeared in his mind.
"People's time travel is just a game. You can kill people and get extra points to gain skills and attributes. Give me the ability to plant trees. What can I do? Be a gardener?"
At that time, Lin Yao was full of helplessness, but after all, it was something bound to his soul, so Lin Yao still studied it carefully.
However, the interface was too simple, with only a small sapling. At the same time, Lin Yao also played very little with Ant Forest, and even opened it only a few times. On the day of time travel, opening the icon was just a flash in his mind. Various reasons made his discussion It didn't go very well.
At the beginning, Lin Yao wanted to use the method of the original world, that is, walking to save energy to grow the small tree in the sea of consciousness, but this plan failed directly.
As for stealing energy, the soul-bound Xiaoshu had no friends, so this was a direct pass. Then, Lu Chen thought of the ordinary system of killing people to advance.
Of course, Lin Yao didn't dare to kill someone directly, and he had no chance. He was killing chickens.
"Many of the initial monsters in the game are weak chicken-type monsters. Although you have little experience in killing them, they should allow the saplings to grow."
It's a pity that Lin Yao had good intentions, but he failed in the end.
Lin Yao even found a way to enter the slaughterhouse and spent some money to kill some pigs, but still did not gain any energy. This made Lu Chen understand that ordinary methods were useless.
In desperation, Lin Yao thought that the ultimate goal of Ant Forest was to plant trees in the desert. He simply skipped the process and planned to try planting trees to see if he could gain energy.
To this end, he first planted a small tree in the park, but this still didn't work.
After various attempts, Lin Yao was already desperate. If it were a normal world, he would probably give up this useless tree planting system and turn to other paths. Anyway, Lin Yao is not a complete waste. He can survive without the system. .
But this world is unusual. Lin Yao already knows some memories gained from the fusion. The early development of this world is the same as that of Blue Star, but the arrival of spiritual energy recovery has changed everything. More importantly, this is already the number of spiritual energy recovery. In the world ten years later, the revived aura has brought new possibilities to mankind, but it has also brought countless monsters. Until now, the world is still shrouded in danger.
Of course, if it was just like this, Lin Yao would not be so radical and go directly outside the city to plant trees. The dangers involved did not need to be told by the two sergeants and his father. Lin Yao also understood, but an incident three days ago stimulated Lin Yao. Yao.
That day on the Internet, Lin Yao was horrified to find that a medium-sized town only 500 kilometers away from here had been attacked by monsters.
Although the human army later pressed forward and took back the town, the fall in just a few days also caused the death toll in the city to reach as many as half a million.
Five hundred miles and five hundred thousand, these two figures stimulated Lin Yao and made him understand that it was too difficult to live a stable life in this world. Danger was everywhere. Only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and his family.
However, although he is not a loser in this world, he is just a middle-aged man. He can only study martial arts and literature as an ordinary person, graduate as an ordinary person, and then drift with the crowd as an ordinary person.
When everything is fine, he will be fine, but once the town's defenses are breached, despair awaits him.
"I would never leave my life to luck."
He didn't want this, so in order to activate the saplings in his mind, he ventured out of the city, hoping that planting trees outside the city would yield some results.
Unfortunately, after planting outside the city, Lin Yao once again entered the consciousness space. He was distressed to find that there was still only one small sapling here.
Lin Yao's consciousness space is not small. A small green sapling grows in the center, surrounded by a thick gray fog. There is an open space between the fog and the sapling. Unfortunately, Lu Chen has tested it, and this area The open space seems to be composed of soul and consciousness and cannot be used as a storage space.
"So, the next step is for me to plant trees in the desert? But most of the desert has become a restricted area, so what can I do with it?"
