I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Panda Novel

“What else could we do? We are keeping watch over the freaks that escape from the mysterious land, of course!” After pondering this for a moment, Li Shan decided to tell Lin Yao what he knew.

“Although we’re doing our utmost to eliminate the threat of the mysterious land, some freaks will always escape through the gap between reality and illusion. If we leave them alone, they will cause a catastrophe.” At this point in the conversation, Captain Li Shan’s voice started trembling as if he had encountered fully-grown freaks before. After a long while, he calmed down and said, “In addition to the freaks, there are also mysterious lands that have yet to be formed.”

“Mysterious lands?”

“Yes, mysterious lands. I’ve told you before that mysterious lands are classified into small mysterious lands and medium mysterious lands. In fact, these titles are abbreviations. Their real titles are dangerous lands (small ones), chaotic lands (medium ones), and catastrophic forbidden lands (big ones). The amusement park we went to yesterday is a dangerous land. This means that it is dangerous, but it has not reached a state of despair. Besides, mysterious lands grow. If too many humans die in them, the freaks will be able to lift the restrictions and then grow continuously, and if there is a sudden change in humans that results in the precipitation of countless negative emotions, a dangerous land can grow and become a chaotic land. That will spell trouble for us.

“A small mysterious land can become a medium mysterious land. Do you know how this small mysterious land came about?”

“Yesterday, police officer Wen Chang told me that it was formed by a combination of the evil aura, the strange world, and the negative emotions of humans.”

“You’re right. This mysterious land was born from the combination of the evil aura and negative human emotions, but not all kinds of evil aura can form mysterious lands. Although this mysterious land is a small illusory world, it’s still a world, so it’s not that easy to form. The evil aura needs to absorb the negative emotions of humans to grow. It’ll thus kill humans and devour their spirituality. What we have to do is find these lands before the mysterious lands are formed and then kill them in advance.”

“I see. Can I join the team today?”

“Of course, it’s no problem. After all, this is an operation carried out in reality. You can come over tonight. Well, you can just come to the police station.”

After chatting with Captain Li Shan for a while longer, Lin Yao got off the line.

Although he had found out that he could not enter the mysterious land today, he did not look that upset anymore.

‘I don’t want to enter the mysterious land because I like fighting, but because I want to eliminate the freaks in the mysterious land and protect humans. This is also considered a form of contribution to national security, and it will allow my tree-planting system to absorb Avedha-vasa energy.

‘It will be beneficial to mankind if I eliminate the evil in the mysterious land. I’m also contributing to mankind’s security by joining the night patrols. In fact, it’ll be better if I help with the night patrols and smother the formation of mysterious lands in the cradle.’

After contemplating this carefully, Lin Yao discovered that although he could possibly gain a lot of energy from the mysterious land, it was also extremely dangerous. On the contrary, night patrolling was more suitable for him. After all, night patrols would occur in reality, and he could seek help at all times if he encountered danger. This was indeed the case judging by Captain Li’s reaction. Captain Li would need to report to the higher-ups if Lin Yao were to enter the mysterious land, but he could call the shots if Lin Yao were to join the night patrols. This also went to show that night patrols were less dangerous.

As he thought about this, Lin Yao walked down the road happily. Nourished by the power of light, he was able to walk at lightning speed.

Soon, he reached his destination. When he looked at the door to his destination, the joy on Lin Yao’s face disappeared and was replaced by fear. This felt worse than entering the mysterious land.

He had arrived at Professor Li’s research institute again.

‘I really don’t want to see this place again.’

Despite his miserable, tearful expression, Lin Yao did not back down. He entered the research institute with gritted teeth.

“Junior Brother Yao, you’re here. Are you here to see Senior Sister? I knew you wouldn’t be able to forget me.”

Upon seeing the affectionate Senior Sister, Lin Yao felt somewhat uneasy. Fortunately, Professor Li appeared and relieved him from this awkward situation.

“Student Lin Yao, why are you here again? Is your body giving you any trouble?”

“No, my body is very good. It’s too good.”

Although he said that, Lin Yao looked upset and even gritted his teeth a little. This weird behavior made Senior Sister Jiang Rong laugh.

“You’re so cute.”

Professor Li was also left speechless by Lin Yao’s odd expression. However, as a knowledgeable professor, he soon thought of something and his expression changed. He then said, “When you say that your body is too good, do you mean you could accept electric current stimulation again?”

As soon as he said this, silence ensued. Then, Jiang Rong’s surprised voice was heard.

“How is that possible? In-depth electric current development requires a minimum resting period of about 10 days.”

“The 10-day resting period applies to geniuses who only have the thunder ability. Student Lin Yao also has the light ability, which is a healing ability.”

“But he recovered in one day. That’s too extreme.”

As Jiang Rong retorted, she looked at Lin Yao. Professor Li also turned and fixed his gaze on him.

Upon seeing their stares, Lin Yao said in tears, “I can’t receive full electric current stimulation yet.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Li was somewhat disappointed.

“Why did you come then?”

“Although I’m unable to accept any stimulation, my body has already entered the calming period.”

There were three periods following the electric current development. The first was the anguish period. During this time, the body had suffered damage and could no longer be stimulated by electric current. Once stimulated, the subject would feel scorching pain.

The second period was the calming period, during which there would no longer be any pain. The transmission of electric current to the body during this period would cause neither pain nor comfort.

Thunder geniuses had a natural affinity for thunder and lightning. When they received a weak electric current transmission, their body would feel very comfortable. It was akin to taking a sip of iced coca-cola when they were thirsty and hot after a two-hour walk in the hot summer.

This was also the third period of the electric current development—the comfort period. This was the period when Lin Yao could undergo electric current development again, and the duration of these three periods was basically the same.

Upon hearing Lin Yao say that his body had entered the calming period, Professor Li was taken aback. However, he soon came back to his senses.

“You have entered the calming period in one day. This means that you will be able to receive electric current stimulation tomorrow.”

In response, Lin Yao nodded uncomfortably.

“That’s right.”

Lin Yao trembled slightly when he said this. Professor Li laughed out loud and could not help repeating his words.

“Okay, okay, okay! Although you’ve not recovered in one day, you’ll be able to undergo electric current stimulation in three days. Furthermore, the effect of one round of stimulation on you is akin to thrice that on others. Lin Yao, you’re not inferior to diamond-level thunder geniuses. Ninghai City has discovered a genius. I’ll do my best to groom you.”

Professor Li gave Lin Yao a gentle smile, as if he was telling the latter that he was in good hands and his talent development would never lag behind that of other geniuses.

However, when he saw that smile, Lin Yao’s vision turned slightly blurry, as if he had seen a demon.

Upon seeing this, Senior Sister Jiang Rong hugged Lin Yao from behind and consoled him gently. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take good care of you.”

“Uh… Ha ha, thanks.”

Professor Li laughed loudly again upon seeing Lin Yao’s miserable face.

“Since the electric current development can only be carried out tomorrow, I believe you came here today to use the electricity to practice.”

“Yes.”

“Okay, Jiang Rong. Take him to the charging library.”

Project Thunder God had many legacies, and in-depth electric current development was not the only way thunder geniuses could use electricity to train.

By now, Lin Yao’s body had already entered the calming period. He could recharge although he could develop his cells deeply.

This was the original purpose of Project Thunder God. It was meant to allow ordinary people to use electricity instead of spirit energy for training.

As for Lin Yao, he had made this trip to the research institute to steal electricity.
