Chapter 3 Hyacinth

【Permissions loaded successfully】

Scannable text appeared in front of Su Wen.

Then he stepped out of the comfortable air-conditioned room on this hot late summer day.

In the yard, under the mottled light and shadows shining through the lush branches and leaves of the big trees, and also in the sound of cicadas chirping.

Su Wen closed the creaking wooden door of the old house.

I got on my old bicycle and headed towards the destination marked on the map.

"It's a familiar name around the second-hand bookstores on Yulin West Street."

He went to middle school there, so he was naturally familiar with the scenery along the way.

Compared to the cyber-apocalyptic technological ruins in the game [Time Travel], the old houses in the old coastal city probably made him feel more at home.

The destination has arrived.

Compare and analyze based on the map left by Qin Mingyuan three thousand years later.

Su Wen parked his broken bicycle on the side of the street very close to the second-hand bookstore.

Then I started looking for something similar to the giant tree in the game screen.

"Professor Qin, I hope your data is accurate. If it's off by a thousand or two thousand meters, I'll be screwed."

He activated the [Identification] authority and began to check around one by one.
The first ones must be the most obvious roadside trees.

There is no guarantee that one of them will undergo genetic mutation in the future.

[Identification: Cinnamomum camphora, large evergreen tree, 25 years old]

[Identification: Cinnamomum camphora, large evergreen tree, 28 years old]

[Identification: Cinnamomum camphora, large evergreen tree, 28 years old]

"The trees along the coast won't all be camphor trees, that would be really convenient."

I scanned the entire circle and found nothing unusual.

no way.

He could only squat on the ground and check each blade of grass one by one.

"Young man, what are you doing here? Did you lose something?"

An old man sitting at the door of the bookstore asked him,
Su Wen was no stranger to him either. The bookstore owner, Old Man Lin, had run the store here for a long time.

At least when he was in junior high school, it was Old Man Lin who sold him the useless "answers to homework questions", which cost him his hard-earned 3 yuan for orange soda, and also caused him and his deskmate to be given zeros by the teacher.

This scumbag old man sells expensive and tattered books.

Why hasn't it closed down yet?

Although I think so.

But in reality, he still waved his hand in a very sunny manner.

"I am a community service volunteer. I come here to help clean up the garbage and do what I can."

"Hey, young people these days are pretty good."

The old man gave him a thumbs up.

"polite."

While being humble, Su Wen also gave the old man a scan for appraisal.

[Identification: Lin Yunwen, a third-level transcendent, director of the Yulin West Street Night Watch Office. He runs a used bookstore. Due to poor management, even with the support of a middle school selling supplementary teaching materials, he is often on the verge of bankruptcy.]

???

Good job, old man Lin.

A third-order transcendent.

It's hidden quite deeply.

No wonder they can monopolize the teaching materials around here.

I have to act more like one.

He pulled a garbage bag from his backpack and squatted on the sidewalk, sweeping up the trash and checking the lawn.

"What is he doing here?"

Not far away, a curious female voice came from the bookstore.

"Help to clean up the garbage. Xiaoqing, look at the others, they are all young people, and they are doing community service in the hot summer, but you don't even know how to clean your own house, let alone help an old man like me clean the library."

"Grandpa, please stop talking. It would be bad if someone heard it."

The girl said coquettishly.

While Su Wen was [appraising], he nodded silently in his heart, and his attitude towards Old Man Lin also softened a little.

The little girl is just spoiled.

But I am different.

He is truly a role model of a good young person embodying the five virtues and four beauties of the new era.

[Identification: Cynodon dactylon, belongs to the Poaceae family, Cynodon dactylon genus, a perennial low herb, a weed, unremarkable]

[Identification: Goosegrass, annual herb, extremely developed root system, weed, nothing special]

An hour passed.

Su Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Continue to identify targets one by one.

[Identification: Goosegrass, annual herb, extremely developed root system, weed, nothing special]

[Identification: old fountain pen, I don’t know who threw it here]

Throw it in the trash bag. Continue
Another hour passed.

[Identification: Dandelion, Asteraceae, Taraxacum genus, perennial herb, weed, unremarkable. ]

Even under the shade of the trees on the roadside, facing the hot summer day in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Wen's back was still wet with sweat.

But he didn't give up.

Perhaps, it is because of the shadow of death.

But more importantly, what Qin Mingyuan left behind were the words.

He smiled carefreely and as if at himself.

"My goal in life is just to find a rich woman and live a life of idleness and waiting for death.

But now, I can neither eat nor find a rich woman, so I can only wait to die. I haven’t even had time to write tomorrow’s project report.

Professor Qin, can you tell me how you managed to hold on?

Su Wen is an ordinary young man whose physical fitness was evaluated as "not as good as the hen at the village entrance" and who took sick leave and was lazy on the first day of military training.

Can hold on until now.

It’s already not easy.

Another hour passed.

He cleared most of the garbage in the block.

[Identification: Cyperus rotundus, an annual herb in the genus Cyperus of the family Cyperaceae of the class Monocotyledons, without rhizomes, with fibrous roots, a weed, unremarkable.]

[Identification: Hyacinthus, Asparagales, Hyacinthaceae, Hyacinthus genus, perennial herbaceous bulbous plant, [Origin Point] - Stars, [Extraordinary Characteristics] - Natural Selection, Monsoon Evolution, Life Qualification, Evolution Origin, Status - Sleeping]

[Identification: Dandelion, Asteraceae, Taraxacum genus, perennial herb, weed, unremarkable. ]

and many more.

Su Wen originally wanted to rub his eyes.

But thinking of his dirty hands, he restrained himself in time.

The hyacinths swayed gently in the summer breeze.

He confirmed it again and again.

Trembling, he held up the extremely delicate and pure blue flower.

[Contacted the origin of life evolution, the original origin mark has been activated, life recovery +3]

[Contacted the origin of life evolution, the original origin mark has been activated, energy recovery +1]

[Contacted the origin of life evolution, the original origin mark has been activated, Charm +5]

This is the real thing.

He quickly emptied his backpack of other unimportant items, then dug up the hyacinth and the surrounding soil and put them in.

The next ten minutes.

Su Wen gathered the last bit of garbage he had picked up, prepared to throw it into the trash can, and then went back to the house.

The pleasant voice he had heard before came from behind him.
"You've worked hard, take a rest, I'll get you a glass of water."

Su Wen turned his head warily and looked behind him. There was a beautiful girl in a light yellow summer dress. She had her hair tied up and there was more concern in her eyes.

[Identification: Lin Xiqing, ordinary person, has the potential to be extraordinary, has not yet awakened, single, worth tens of millions. ]

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

It also specifically marks out "single" and "worth tens of millions."

Good for you.

If it were the Su Wen of the past, the moment he knew this, he would definitely cling to the rich woman's thigh to fulfill his life ideals.

but now.

Not only was Su Wen not tired, he even wanted to slip away quickly.

I don't know why the girl in front of me is blushing.

Is it possible?

Did she have heat stroke?

But for Lin Xiqing, the fact that the boy in front of her could contribute so selflessly to the community without taking a single minute's rest for four hours was enough to make her admire him.

At least, she couldn't do it.

Moreover.

His profile as he raises his head and smiles in the sun is so handsome!

For her, who has never been a fan and has never liked any young handsome guys, this is an unprecedented experience.

But next second.

Before she could say the next sentence.

The handsome guy who was doing the volunteer work had already ridden away on his broken bicycle.

slipped.

"The giant tree that will destroy everything three thousand years from now is in the backpack behind me."

The joy of surviving the disaster, thoughts about the future, and the efforts made in the hot summer.

A variety of emotions mixed in Su Wen's mind.

It made him completely ignore his perfect performance as a straight man.

All that was left was a shallow pit beside the sidewalk of the old bookstore on Yulin West Street.

It indicates that the timeline of future "destruction" and "pollution" has been quietly changed.
