The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Seeing the carnivorous flower rushing towards him, Lu Yan's mind raced. He took a sudden step forward, his entire body transforming into a blur as he swept past the carnivorous flower's gaping maw.

The teacher discovered an unknown sequence and was very curious.

The thugs have found a worthy opponent and are eager for a thrilling battle!

The flashing subtitles confirmed Lu Yan's suspicions: there was indeed an extraordinary being controlling this man-eating flower.

Before the thought had even settled, the carnivorous plant had already turned its flower disc around and pounced again.

But Lu Yan was prepared. He used his agile footwork to slide aside like a ghost, and at the same time, he slashed with his short knife, cutting a deep wound on the thorny vines.

Dark green sap splattered out, but the man-eating flower was unaffected, and its attack became even more ferocious.

"Ordinary short swords are not enough to deal with these extraordinary creatures."

Lu Yan's eyes narrowed, and he simply put it away, silently circulating the Crimson Blood Breathing Technique.

The intense heat of the blood and qi flowed wildly, transforming into rolling waves of heat that rose from the body's surface.

Sensing such abundant vital energy, the man-eating flower became even more ferocious, its mouth opening to its maximum, as if it wanted to swallow Lu Yan whole.

Lu Yan neither dodged nor avoided, but instead took half a step forward to meet the man-eating flower, twisted his waist suddenly, and slammed out his right fist, which was filled with all the blood and qi in his body!

"boom--!!!"

The huge flowerpot suddenly exploded, splattering dark green sap mixed with broken calyxes, and filling the entire room with a foul stench.

Meanwhile, in a shed just a few dozen meters away from Lu Yan's house.

A hunched man suddenly opened his eyes, clutched his head and cried out in pain, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"My precious carnivorous plant was killed?! How is that possible?!"

He was mentally connected to the carnivorous flower, and at the moment the flower shattered, he also suffered a slight mental backlash.

Without the slightest hesitation, he struggled to get up and run away.

The opponent's strength was far beyond his ability to handle; it could kill the man-eating flower he had carefully cultivated.

But just as he pushed open the door, a figure suddenly blocked the entrance; it was Lu Yan, who had followed the scent to find him.

"you……"

The hunchbacked man shuddered and instinctively reached into his robes, as if trying to retrieve something.

But Lu Yan was faster. He stepped forward, grabbed Lu Yan's wrist, and delivered a powerful chop to the back of Lu Yan's neck.

The hunchbacked man rolled his eyes and immediately fainted.

He was worried about not having a way to obtain new sequences, so he naturally had no reason to let go of this "material" that was delivered to his door.

The commotion of the battle alerted many refugees in the surrounding area, but most of them only watched from a distance before retreating back inside.

In this market town, excessive curiosity is of no benefit.

Lu Yan ignored it and, after confirming that no one had noticed him, gently closed the door.

He skillfully dislocated the hunchbacked man's joints, and after confirming that the man was unable to resist, he tore off the clothes that were stained with the man-eating flower's juice, ripped them into strips, and tied the man up tightly.

After doing all that, he quickly checked the shed again to make sure there were no hidden dangers before carefully looting it.

After some searching, he discovered that the other party was not carrying any other weapons, but had sewn many small cloth bags onto his underwear.

Lu Yan unpacked the cloth bags one by one and placed all the contents on the ground.

Besides a tightly sealed small wooden box and several bottles and jars with simple labels, there were also quite a few gold coins.

He counted them, and there were a total of fifty-five!

Thank you for the gifts of nature!

Lu Yan grinned. With these gold coins, he shouldn't have to worry about food for a while.

He carefully put away the gold coins, but instead of checking the wooden box and the bottles and jars, he carefully placed them aside.

From the very beginning, my street fighting instincts have been itching to act. Who knows what deadly thing might be lurking here? It's best to be cautious.

After confirming that the hunchbacked man had nothing else hidden on him, Lu Yan splashed him with cold water to wake him up.

The hunchbacked man slowly opened his eyes, and before he was fully awake, he felt a cold dagger pressed against his neck.

"I ask, you answer."

Lu Yan's eyes were devoid of any warmth, and the hunchbacked man shivered and nodded repeatedly.

He was certain that if he made any small move, the man in front of him would kill him without hesitation!

What sequence have you awakened?

"It is... it is Sequence 9 Farmer, who can cultivate and manipulate extraordinary plants."

The hunchbacked man dared not hide anything and answered quickly, even taking the initiative to explain the conditions for awakening.

As soon as he finished speaking, familiar subtitles flashed before Lu Yan's eyes:

[Sequence 9 Discovery: The Farmer]

[Awakening Condition 1: At least one year of experience in the planting industry (Completed)]

[Awakening Condition 2: Master the cultivation methods of ten different plants and successfully plant them (3/10)]

The first condition has been met, and three-tenths of the second condition has been met.

But he had never done any farm work in his entire life.

"Could this be another gift from a past life..."

Lu Yan's expression was a bit strange. In his previous life, he had kept some flowers and plants in the office with his colleagues to relieve work pressure. He never expected that they would actually come in handy.

"However, mastering the cultivation methods for seven more plants will be quite difficult..."

Due to the erosion caused by the smog, the land in the town is not very suitable for growing plants.

Even if they manage to grow them successfully, the crops produced will be heavily contaminated and completely inedible.

Sensing the host's worry, the Farmer Sequence fell into deep thought...

Lu Yan's eye twitched, as if he had already foreseen what would happen next.

The Farmer Sequence has sensed your innate spirit of farming from the depths of your soul and has decided to change the awakening conditions.

[Awakening Condition Two: Master the cultivation methods of ten different plants (3/10 incomplete)]

The soul of farming?

Lu Yan was shocked. Could the Chinese heritage really work in another world?

That's incredibly kind of you!

Don't be fooled by the fact that only a few words have been removed; mastering the method and successfully planting are two completely different concepts, with worlds apart in terms of difficulty.

In this way, there's no need to trouble the teaching profession with "winning people over with virtue".

Lu Yan looked at the hunchbacked man again. Before he could speak, the man tactfully revealed all the plant cultivation methods he knew.

"These methods are all suitable for the wasteland environment, but the survival rate isn't very high. It's best to have an experienced person guide you..."

The hunchbacked man's face was full of flattery, trying his best to show off his value.

"Shut up."

Lu Yan interrupted the other person and went over the planting method with them word by word.

Finally, a brand new subtitle flashed in front of him.

[All awakening conditions are met; awakening can proceed directly.]

Lu Yan grinned and immediately chose to awaken.

[Awakening successful, obtained Sequence 9 - Farmer]

[Gain Trait - Breeding: The growth rate of your cultivated seeds is increased by 50%, and there is a certain probability of mutation]

[Gain skill - Plant Mastery: You can control the plants you cultivate]

In an instant, Lu Yan's mental perception became sharper than ever before, even able to detect the faint life fluctuations left by the carnivorous plants inside the shed.

"I thought it would be like the thugs, all on the physical side, but it turns out it leans more towards the mental side?"

Lu Yan was quite surprised, but he understood when he realized that the other party could remotely control the carnivorous plant.

Without sufficient mental strength, it would be impossible to perform such an operation.

However, manipulating mutated plants...

Lu Yan unconsciously conjured up an image of a middle-aged man wearing a frying pan on his head and constantly muttering "Wai Bi Ba Bu" in his mind.

This training sequence shouldn't damage my brain, right?
