Ye Han came to the entrance of the Nanshan Botanical Garden.

The turnstile at the door had long since lost its original function, and she moved nimbly to the side, not letting the dusty card bar rub against a corner of her clothes.

As far as the eye can see, the space of the botanical garden is very large, according to the system, the area is about 300 acres.

Although it cannot be compared with the national forest park covering an area of more than 15,000 acres, as a private botanical garden, the area is considerable.

When you walk into the park, the first thing you see is a few pools shaded by green trees, as well as an ornamental rockery and waterfall next to it.

It should have been a scene that made people's eyes shine, but now people can't help frowning.

The water level in the pool was nearly dry, and it was full of dead branches and leaves, and it was a mess; Weeds also grew on the rockery, and from a distance it looked like a homeless man in a robe, which was particularly unkempt.

Seven or eight years ago, it was an outdoor hot spring pool, and these pools were all white mist-filled hot spring pools, which were later converted into the Nanshan Botanical Garden due to poor management.

However, due to the huge investment in the early stage of the botanical garden, coupled with the lack of characteristics and remote places, in addition to attracting a group of tourists when the garden first opened, the flow of people has deteriorated since then, and now it is basically in a semi-deserted state, and the staff has been almost dismissed.

It's a pity that a huge botanical garden is abandoned here.

Ye Han was not used to asking the system in his mind: "So did the boss transfer this botanical garden?" ”

The system's cold electronic voice said, "That's right. ”

It used some high-tech means to obtain property rights, including the initial 1 million funds that were also earned in this world, but could not disrupt the order.

Ye Han didn't ask much, and observed the surrounding environment as he walked forward.

There are not many species of trees introduced in the park, most of them are evergreen broad-leaved trees, conifers, shrubs, etc., which are sparsely distributed on both sides of the road.

Some of them have died, while others are still standing tenaciously.

Because it has not been pruned for a long time, the branches above grow like weeds, stretching without boundaries, growing multiple branches, showing a wild and uninhibited look of 'Mo Lao Tzu', eager to poke the branches into people's eyelids.

Ye Han lowered his head to avoid the 'hidden weapon' above his head, stopped on the side of the road, raised his hand to stroke the cracked bark, and squatted down to check the soil situation.

It had rained a few days ago, but this did not alleviate the crisis faced by the plants, the topsoil was compacted, and the roots buried deep inside could not breathe......

It is definitely a big project to loosen the soil first, and also carry out a series of steps such as weeding, top dressing, and pruning.

Moving on, you will see an extremely wide man-made lake.

A meandering water promenade has been built on the lake, which extends to the middle of the lake.

There are still about two weeks before the lotus flowers first bloom, but there is no grand scene of lotus leaves full of ponds, large lotus leaves are withered and wilted, hanging their heads half-dead in the sun, showing a scene of decay, and you can smell a peculiar smell when you are close to the lake.

It should have been a long time since it was cleaned up.

Ye Han looked at the dirty water quality below and the algae all over the water body, frowned, and took out a mask from his bag and put it on.

It doesn't smell very good.

She's just close to it, not to mention the plants that live inside.

It must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise all the creatures in the lake will suffer.

Ye Han walked along the wooden plank road to the other side of the lake, the wooden planks under her feet made a slight creaking sound as she walked, she stepped on it hard, there was no problem with the load-bearing capacity, but the appearance was worn off in many places and needed to be repaired.

Passing through the artificial lake is a sparse bamboo forest, with no winding paths and no graceful paths, only slender 'bamboo poles' and sunlight shining through the wide gaps, which make it impossible for the eyes to open.

The June sun has taken on a bit of a scorching meaning, and now it's noon, and the sultry heat hits like a dark cloud, making people's mood a little more irritable.

Ye Han blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands, found a shady place around and sat down, and twisted his fingers to unscrew the cover of mineral water.

Soon, the cool spring water moistened her throat, she closed her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and fanned the wind with her hand.

It's really a bit hot.

After resting for a while, Ye Han took out the prepared baseball cap from his bag and put it on, and continued to move forward.

In front of it is the flower viewing area and the bonsai garden, which are also the most ornamental places in the botanical garden: such as the chrysanthemum hall, the peony garden, the rose garden, the plum garden, etc., which are built into independent courtyards with walls.

But there was only a sign hung up, and from the door you could see the weeds growing wantonly, and it was very desolate.

Ye Han walked into the garden and carefully looked for the 'pearl of the sea' among the weeds.

After some exploration, I finally found a few failed crane white plants in the corner of the peony garden.

This peony species of Xianhebai has strong stress resistance, is resistant to sun and rain, and has a long flowering period.

However, at this time, they were squeezed into the living space by weeds, and they were pitifully curled up in the corner, wilted by the sun, and they did not know if they could survive.

Ye Han half-squatted down, cleaned up all the weeds around him, and picked up thicker branches to loosen the soil.

There is no other tool at the moment, but to deal with it simply.

After getting it done, Ye Han used wet wipes to sort out the dirt on his hands, stood up and rubbed his legs, which were a little numb.

The palm of the palm is stout by the thick grass stalks, which is hot.

Raising his hand to wipe the beads of sweat, and then looking at the desolate environment around him, Ye Han sighed silently: "There really won't be pies in the sky.

Along the way, there are plaques with peeling paint, broken turnstiles, dirty pools, half-dead plants, and stinking man-made lakes...... It all points to the fact that this place is worse than she imagined.

Rao is a professional counterpart + considerable salary, and Ye Han can't help but feel a little powerless.

Such a long-abandoned botanical garden, I don't know how long it will take to recover.

At this moment, the system that was silent suddenly spoke: [Host, the novice task has been released, please check it in time. 】

In the next second, a huge translucent interface appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Han.

It is so thin that it seems to have no thickness, and it floats in the air unaffected by gravity, and it is full of technology, which is not possible with today's earth technology.

On the left side of the screen is her profile.

Name: Ye Han

Gender: Female

Age: 22 years old

Binding system: Galaxy B544

Planet: Solar System - Earth

Information collection location: Nanshan Botanical Garden

Acquisition process: 0

Rescue of endangered plants: 0

This interface appeared when the system was first bound, so Ye Han didn't show a surprised expression on his face.

Soon, a glowing dialog box popped up in the middle of the light screen:

[Please complete the Novice Mission: Save the Plants in the Garden (Overall Survival Rate is not less than 80%), Time: 1 month.] If it is not completed, 1 million funds will be deducted. 】

？ Deduct 1,000,000 ???

Ye Han's gaze froze on the last line of words, and he couldn't help frowning.

So, the pie that fell from the sky was taken away before it was tasted?

Although she knew for a long time that things would not be so simple, she didn't expect it to be hard mode at the beginning.

Looking around at the dilapidated botanical garden, Ye Han thought expressionlessly:

Can she return an item within seven days without any reason?

As if feeling Ye Han's inner thoughts, the next moment, a new line of font popped up on the light screen:

[After completing the Starter Mission, the Starter Pack will be distributed: Plant Nutrient Solution*1, Water Purifier*1.] 】

Ye Han stared at the reward for a few seconds, and driven by curiosity, he clicked on the product introduction.

Product Name: Plant Nutrient Solution

Product function: stimulate cell activity, promote plant growth, and make it full of vitality

Patent: Galaxy B6037 Research Laboratory, patent number XXXXXXX

Product Name: Water Purifier

Product function: Using the microparticle decomposition and recycling technology, real-time monitoring and purification of water sources, and adjusting the water quality to the most suitable state for species survival.

Patent: Galaxy D1881 Research Laboratory, Patent No. XXXXXXX

Expiration date: Permanent

Ye Han read the product introduction back and forth twice, and his eyes lit up.

She has always been curious about the unknown, and these two products undoubtedly piqued her interest, while at the same time instilling a little confidence in her heart to rebuild the botanical garden.

The first flowering period of the lotus is just around the corner, and if the effect of the plant nutrient solution is exactly what the product depicts, it may be in full bloom from July to mid-August, when the pond of lotus flowers will be spectacular.

Water purifiers are also very useful and can significantly reduce the cost of operating and maintaining artificial lakes.

That's right, the cost of operation and maintenance.

Whether it is purifying the water, repairing the boardwalk, removing weeds, pruning branches and leaves, etc., it takes a lot of money.

Ye Han asked, "What is the current start-up capital of Nanshan Botanical Garden?" ”

System: "......"

Ye Han: "......"

Could it be... This part of the funds will also be deducted from 1 million?

Ye Han took a deep breath, feeling that his calm mood was showing signs of resurgence.

System: "Please use the host's funds wisely-"

Ye Han sneered unceremoniously.

The system shut up in a timely manner and disappeared in place along with the light screen.

*

At night, there are several lights in the dark dormitory building, and a blurry figure can be seen projected from the windows when you stand downstairs.

Ye Han sat in front of the desk in loose pajamas, his long smooth hair was draped behind his ears, and the ends of his hair were wet and damp, and when he was close, he could smell a fragrance after bathing, dispelling the heat of early summer.

The incandescent lamp reflects the serious expression of the girl, who is holding a pen and thinking while writing and drawing on the white paper.

She understands that there is no such thing as pie in the sky, and this newbie mission is an opportunity for her.

If the botanical garden is well managed, not only will there be systematic rewards, but also tickets can be sold, and funds can be accumulated step by step; And if it is not completed, then the system probably has to find someone else.

She wants to seize this opportunity.

Although the time frame for a month is urgent, a multi-pronged approach is not impossible.

Since the mission is to save the plants in the garden and ensure the survival rate, the first question is:

The existing plant species and distribution of Nanshan Botanical Garden were listed in detail, and then targeted treatment was carried out. Plan your time wisely and don't waste a second.

Ye Han drew a simple map of the Nanshan Botanical Garden.

The botanical garden is huge, and in addition to the place she has been to today, there are nearly 100 acres of wasteland that has not yet been developed behind the mountain range.

But these don't need to be considered for the time being, that's all for later.

At present, the main areas of plant distribution in the garden are:

1. There are more than 500 evergreen broad-leaved and deciduous trees, conifers, shrubs, etc. on both sides of the road.

2. Aquatic plants in artificial lakes

3. Bamboo forest

4. Flower viewing area and bonsai area

5. Ancient Tree Conservation Area: Pan Peach Tree*1, Ginkgo Tree*2, Podocarpus*1, Acer chinensis*1, a total of 5 trees

Among them, 1 and 2 are the most important and urgent, and they take a long time and must be dealt with first.

They are also the most diverse and numerous, Ye Han circled these two items and drew an asterisk next to them.

3 and 4 are important but not urgent, as long as the few remaining flowers are moved into the pot and carefully cared for, as for the removal of weeds, the construction of fences, etc., can be postponed.

As for item 5...... These 100-year-old trees are cared for by volunteers, so there is no problem for the time being.

However, Ye Han's pen action paused, and the appearance of the peach tree flashed in front of his eyes.

It is about seven or eight meters high, much shorter than the ginkgo biloba and podocarpus trees that 'soar into the sky' next to it, and its scattered branches extend around the fence, making the canopy extraordinarily large.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, because the shriveled trunk has long been hollowed out and the woody layer has decayed, and the surface shows layers of wrinkles, wrinkled and uneven, and the thin trunk cannot support the weight of the branches above.

When I got closer, one of the branches had broken directly from the base under the weight of the weight, and was slanted to the side, and if it weren't for the artificial support to support it, I am afraid that it would have broken into two long ago.

From Ye Han's point of view, this peach tree is like an old man who is barely breathing, supporting his body with crutches to prevent himself from falling; But even if you exhaust all means, you can't stop the pace of decay.

Perhaps because she was related, she went up to look at the sign.

Name: Peach Tree

Affiliation: Rosaceae, Peach genus

Age: more than 400 years

Classification: National second-class ancient tree, key protected tree in W city

It has lived for more than 400 years.

Ye Han was a little stunned, it was a miracle for peach trees with a lifespan of 20-25 years.

But as things stand, I don't know how long this miracle will last.

Thinking of this, Ye Han circled the name of the peach tree with the tip of his pen.

If she has enough time, she will always pay attention to the condition of this ancient tree, hoping to find a cure.

In addition to the treatment of the plants in the garden, such as the plaque at the entrance, the cleaning of the pool, and the repair of the wooden plank road...... These can be put back.

Of course, in order to save time, some steps can also be done simultaneously.

After enumerating and sorting out the problems one by one, the original chaotic thoughts seemed to be peeling off the cocoon, layer by layer, and the ideas became extremely clear.

Looking at the handwriting on the white paper, Ye Han straightened up, leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his sour eyes.

It's too tiring to walk so much today, so I'll leave the rest to tomorrow.

Things have to come step by step - for this novice task, she is confident.
