Chapter 1: Bear Tree Meow Gang Stick
"Lin, you really don't think about it anymore?"
The old professor's chattering voice came from the mobile phone:
"A genius in a big basic discipline like yours should have a top-level research environment-
Although the biology laboratory of our university is not as good as Harvard, it is also the top in the world. ”
"Thank you for your concern, Professor Wilson...... But I still insist that science comes from practice –
I was very interested in the '1000 Plant Transcriptome Project (1KP), which was about to start in November, so I decided to do the sample collection myself. ”
The gentle voice replied slightly apologetically to the old professor's persuasion, and Oakes turned on the speakerphone, put the phone on the table, and turned around to grab a black hooded sweatshirt from the hanger.
As soon as he felt for the key in his pocket, he heard Professor Wilson's voice, which had been silent for several seconds, sound again.
I don't know if it's a hands-free problem, the old professor's voice seemed a little helpless:
"Okay Lin, old man, I'm the sixth invitation you've rejected this time......
But if you're going to participate in this world-class initiative, I'll help you explain it to the other professors. ”
"Uh...... Thank you," Oakes touched his chin again, grinned, and grabbed the electric shaver next to his phone:
"Professor Wilson, you also know the significance of this world-class operation for botanical research.
It is a global collaboration to study the genetic and genomic diversity of plant species over more than 1 billion years, from green algae to flowering plants.
I had a degree in biology, but I actually studied botany a little bit more than zoology. ”
"Hum—"
The sound of the electric shaver rang, and Professor Wilson's wry laughter came from the phone:
"Ah, that's true, but you're a genius who single-handedly raised our biology rankings to the top three in the country—
I think you're better suited to be involved in sequencing and data research after collecting samples, and I can imagine the Harvard and MIT guys laughing at us. ”
"Well, I'd like to go to the rainforest to collect samples – I've been living in this concrete metropolis for so long that I'm almost out of touch with nature."
Touching his smooth chin, Oakes dropped the razor with satisfaction and picked up his phone:
"And Professor Wilson, a large part of my biology research is to improve people's living environment, and there are still some differences between you and several other professors' research directions and mine."
"Aha, Lin, I have to say that your goal is great...... But I still have reservations about an academic elite like you running a small plant shop! ”
Oakes laughed apologetically:
"Professor Wilson, this is a social experiment...... It won't be long before you'll be clear –
Other professors, please apologize for me~ That's it, please~"
"Toot!"
After hanging up the phone, Oakes breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone in his jeans pocket, straightened his red hair, went downstairs in a good mood and locked the store door, turned around and walked to the back door.
Oaks Lin, Ph.D. in biology, graduated from Cornell University in New York, and is also well-known in the academic world.
Although living in New York, Oakes is actually of mixed Central European descent, half Irish.
Therefore, although the facial features are very close to his father's Chinese ancestry, one of the most striking characteristics of the Celts, which originated from his mother, red hair, is still reflected in him.
His residence, located in the 20th block of Brooklyn, New York, is a two-story storefront, which is the biggest legacy left to him by his parents-
When Oakes was fourteen years old, at the end of 1999, the couple was in a car accident when they returned from a business trip, and they didn't even have time to leave their last words.
When he got the news, he was happily waiting for his parents to come back to celebrate Christmas, but he fainted from the excitement and woke up to be the way he is now.
One...... A special soul that took over his life.
Therefore, although Oaks, who is now twenty-three years old, has a car, he tries not to drive it when he goes out if he is not a delivery person.
As for taking the subway...... Come on, is the subway in New York called the subway? Hell it!
"If it's your birthday, close the store and take a day off...... But life is in motion. ”
After locking the back door, Oakes looked up at the half-hidden air window, and then glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist:
"September 22, 2008, 10 a.m."
Nodding, Oakes stretched his body, half-squatted slightly, and then leaped-
"Whoa—"
A glimmer of light flashed, and Oakes's slender figure, which was originally close to 1.9 meters, disappeared, and was replaced by a fat orange cat with a big face and plate through the air window, and disappeared in an instant.
That's right, that's what makes Oaks special -
In his previous life, his name was Lin Xingye.
Born in an industrial city, he has had an infinite yearning for nature since he was a child, and even when he plays games, he chooses a career with a natural background.
Therefore, after graduating from university, he chose to become a ranger in a national forest nature reserve.
And on his thirtieth birthday, Lin Xingye died heroically in an operation to investigate a poaching group in order to stop the poachers' crazy behavior of causing forest fires-
When he reawakens, he receives a gift from nature.
Although the place of reincarnation is not very good, New York is one of the worst cities in the world in terms of environmental quality, not to mention the terrifying wealth gap and the staggered mix of glamour and chaos.
But the force of nature not only strengthened his body and spirit, but also gave him a unique spell and inheritance-
"A unique four-talent class, the Bear Meow Gang Stick, the Naturebringer of Azeroth—"
"Druid!"
Although he had a very deep understanding of this so-called jack-of-all-trades profession, Oakes was not happy for long after he got the ability.
Because, just when he had not fully integrated the memories of his predecessor, a high-profile world conference was broadcast on TV.
It was the 1999-2000 New Year's Eve Technical Conference in Bernier, Switzerland.
A cross-century academic event for the world's top scientists.
And the brightest star among them is-
Chairman and CEO of Stark Industries, a genius scientist, a wealthy philanthropist, and a famous playboy......
Tony stark!
And it seems that there was also lace news about him and another female scientist that night.
Well, that's all the public love.
But Oakes was on wax at the time.
After carefully sorting out the memories of his predecessor, he had to hold down his originally somewhat flying mentality-
In this world, there is Stark Industries, there is Tony Stark.
Stark Industries has factories in Long Island, New York, and Queens.
Moreover, the Captain America Memorial is in Brooklyn, where he lives.
Well, Captain America, Roaring Commando, Ms. Peggy Carter's World War II memoirs.
Still can't explain the problem?
Although this ability is quite interesting, it is not a primitive society now!
In an era when the earth's ecosphere is destroyed like this, the casters of the natural system are simply inherently weakened......
"There must be a disguised identity!"
From that moment on, Oakes set his mind...... Well, the survival program.
