National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 48 Recruitment
Lin Zhi opened his mouth in surprise, looking up at Meng Xingchen, who had transformed into a thousand-foot-high figure, holding a mountain of ore in both hands, pulling it up by the roots like a carrot, and then placing it into a huge spiritual plant that looked like a lotus.

The mountain was quickly "swallowed" by the lotus, and Meng Xingchen's figure gradually shrank to the size of an ordinary person.

With a wave of his hand, a pile of fish-scale-shaped metal ingots formed a small mountain.

"These metal ingots are of little use to me, so you can take them!" Meng Xingchen said to Lin Zhi.

"This...Teacher, this is too precious..."

Lin Zhi quickly refused.

He roughly estimated that the metal ingots Meng Xingchen took out were nearly one million units, which was a wealth of one hundred small goals.

"Here, this isn't a free gift for you. I have a request."

Meng Xingchen sighed solemnly, "Originally, the course I planned would take a month to complete, but something unexpected happened and I received the highest call-up order from the alliance."

"Conscription order?!"

Lin Zhi's heart was shocked.

Because this conscription order is for all serving or retired soldiers or those who are at the Saint Crown Realm or above.

It is only allowed to be used in major wars of the alliance. Once used, it means that the war is on the verge of defeat.

The situation in the Wild Beast World is very good, especially the Black Ice Continent, which is an area occupied by the Alliance and has been operated for decades. It is built like an iron road.

Even if the alliance issued a call for conscription, it would be sent to the Holy Crown strongmen near the Aoki Forest. Why would it be issued near the Black Ice Continent?

"I don't know the specific situation. The content of the alliance's call for me is to cross the mechanical Great Wall on the front line of the Black Ice Continent and go deep into the Red Fire Desert to carry out a secret mission."

Meng Xingchen continued, "Put these metal ingots away. I will take you to the Mechanical Great Wall on the front line of the Black Ice Continent. You will wait there and learn how to repair and maintain mechanical spiritual plants."

As he spoke, he popped out a book.

Lin Zhi looked closely and saw that it was an old cowhide book.

There were a few words written crookedly on it.

"Three years of auto repair, five years of excavator"

???

Lin Zhi was full of questions.

"Put it away, don't waste time."

"it is good!"

Lin Zhi could only do as he was told.

Eight days later.

Under the guidance of Meng Xingchen, Lin Zhi finally saw the Mechanical Great Wall.

From Lin Zhi's perspective, the Mechanical Great Wall lay across the earth, winding and undulating, with no end in sight at either end.

At regular intervals, there is a large "pass city" inside the Great Wall, which can be used to station barracks, store logistics, etc.

Between the city walls, beacon towers stand tall, with mechanical puppets stationed and patrolling.

On the top of the Mechanical Great Wall, there are metal defense towers closely connected to each other. Rays of light hang down from the metal towers, scanning the outside of the wall.

Ding 71 Guancheng
Meng Xingchen flew over with Lin Zhi, and a middle-aged man in armor flew out of the city gate and met Meng Xingchen.

"Senior, the Mechanical Great Wall is ahead. As we are currently in a state of war, we are temporarily unable to pass through it." The visitor said.

"Meng Xingchen, the special tutor of Yujun University, has received a call from the alliance to go to the Red Fire Desert to carry out a mission." Meng Xingchen took out his mobile phone and displayed a token pattern.

"So that's how it is! Please come into the city, senior." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"No need, the mission is more important. I was originally planning to bring my student for training, but something unexpected happened and the training is not possible. Can I let him stay with you for now and learn how to drive a tank and a plane?"

"It turns out that the little boy is a top student at Yujun University! He is truly a talented person. I, Ding 71, fully welcome him." The middle-aged man said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'm relieved." Meng Xingchen turned around, took out a box and handed it to Lin Zhi, saying, "This is the spiritual seed you should receive at Yujun University in the next three months. It happened suddenly, so I can only give it to you first. You stay in this city and don't run around. Study with peace of mind. As for the war, it will be done by the soldiers, reclamation groups, and adventurers. As a student, you must not participate in it yourself. You should focus on protecting yourself."

Lin Zhi took the box and nodded quickly.

He hesitated and said, "Teacher, is it too dangerous to go deep into the Red Fire Desert? Can't we refuse this call?"

In fact, as far as Lin Zhi knew, the conscription order could be rejected.

"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. As a special tutor at Yujun University and deputy commander of the Chenguang Corps, I have reasons to participate!"

Meng Xingchen's handsome face, which made time and space pale in comparison, showed a confident smile and said, "Besides, there is no place for me, Meng Xingchen, in this world!"

……

After watching Meng Xingchen leave, Lin Zhi followed the middle-aged man into the city.

On the way, Lin Zhi learned the identity of this middle-aged man. He was actually the commander of the city pass, the battalion commander of the 2th Battalion of the 11rd Regiment of the 3th Song of the 6nd Division of the Sparrow Legion, with the cultivation level of Zi Yang Realm, and his name was Mu Yuan.

That’s right, the Sparrow Legion that supported the Wild Beast World was deployed to the Black Ice Continent to replace the previous garrison stationed at the Mechanical Great Wall.

Soon, Mu Yuan flew into the city with Lin Zhi and placed him on the Great Wall.

The deafening shouts of killing outside the Great Wall caught his attention.

Lin Zhi walked to the top of the city wall and looked down.

Outside the city, all I could see were countless "ants" fighting in chaos, unable to separate themselves.

On the outskirts of the "ant" battlefield, extremely large and strange-looking spiritual plants are growing.

These spiritual plants are extremely tall, about a hundred meters high, and are as tall as the Great Wall.

What surprised Lin Zhi the most were the three spiritual plants among them.

The spiritual plant is black in color overall and looks like a huge dead tree, with a string of black bird nests strung from the middle.

Lin Zhi saw that there were all kinds of insects in these "bird's nests" crawling towards the Great Wall.

The other spiritual plant was somewhat normal. It looked like a large umbrella-shaped tree. The umbrella surface had a silvery metallic luster, while the inside of the umbrella was a fiery red.

Thousands of ropes hang down from the inside of the umbrella, with large cocoons hanging from the ends of the ropes.

Under the fiery red light from inside the umbrella, it looks like a roast duck oven.

Every time a strong wind blows, the giant tree shakes its branches, and hundreds of large cocoons burst, and huge birds break out of the cocoons.

The last spiritual plant that surprised Lin Zhi was similar to a fern. Dozens of gray "sea intestines" grew from the ground and fluttered in the wind.

These sea cucumbers are spitting bubbles all the time. The bubbles grow in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then burst, revealing wild beasts made of water vapor.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot towards Lin Zhi, but was blocked by Mu Yuan who was standing next to him.

He said, "This is the daily routine of the Great Wall Guards. Because the Great Wall is indestructible, the natives of the Wild Beast World never attack the city themselves, but instead drive these spiritual plants and wild beasts to fight us."

"Spiritual plant and wild beast?"

Lin Zhi had never heard of this term.

"Well, this is the biggest difference between the gardeners in the Wild Beast World and those in other worlds. The spiritual plants cultivated by these indigenous gardeners can produce all kinds of wild beasts."

Mu Yuan pointed at the huge spiritual plants in the distance and said, "The spiritual plant that looks like a candied haws bird's nest is called Abyss Cordyceps, the umbrella-shaped tree is called Bird Tree, and the spiritual plant that looks like a sea intestine is called Bubble Kelp. The owner of these three spiritual plants is an indigenous gardener named Prince Silver Wolf."

Lin Zhi nodded in understanding, and then thought of something. He asked in confusion, "We are the enemy troops fighting. We can't sustain such a logistical competition, right?"

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's not that they can't hold on, but that the supplies are about to be exhausted, the city will be destroyed and people will die!"

"What?"

Lin Zhi's eyes suddenly widened.
