Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 95 Nini's Awakening

Nini's cry of surprise was as sweet as cotton candy: "Wow, it's a flower!"

Her cute expression made Li Mu smile, and then he waved his arms gently again.

In an instant, two vines as thick as forearms stretched out from the handrails, gently lifted Nini up steadily, led her to the hanging basket, and finally sat her down safely.

"Come, sit down and talk." Li Mu said softly to Han Dong.

After receiving Li Mu's instructions, Han Dong did not delay any further, but sat down on the rattan chair a little stiffly.

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He looked at Nini and asked with a smile: "Nini, I have a few questions to ask you, is that ok?"

A bright smile bloomed on Nini's little face. She nodded her head obediently, indicating that Li Mu could ask questions.

"Then, Nini, why do you like me?" Li Mu asked. He remembered that he had never met Han Dong and his daughter. If so, where did Nini's liking for me come from?

"Have you seen me before?" Li Mu continued to ask. He wanted to solve the mystery and find out the real reason why Nini liked him.

"Because Dad often tells Nini that we can have enough food and not be cold now because of the city lord brother. It is brother who has been silently contributing behind the scenes. I must repay brother when I have the chance in the future.

Also, Nini has met the city lord brother many times before!"

When Nini answered the questions, she looked so serious like a little adult, which made Li Mu feel warm in his heart.

He didn't expect that Han Dong educated Nini in this way at home. What surprised him even more was that Nini actually kept these teachings in mind.

Whether a child is lying can often be seen from their eyes and behavior.

After Li Mu's careful observation, Nini's serious expression and determined eyes showed that what she said came from her true thoughts, and not something Han Dong deliberately taught her behind her back.

Li Mu turned his gaze to Han Dong, with a gleam of doubt in his eyes.

Because he was so absorbed in his study of plants, he seldom left his house, let alone appeared in public in Wanling City.

Han Dong replied, "That was when you were building Wanling City. You showed up at the city wall construction site on time every day. I didn't have much to do at the time, and Nini couldn't stay at home, so I often took her to watch you grow the hemlock trees."

Han Dong's explanation made Li Mu suddenly realize, and he remembered that he and his daughter were among the first group of people to join Wanling City. When he was building Wanling City, they had already settled in Shuangpu Town.

Li Mu nodded calmly and then asked, "Nini, are you applying for this job to repay me?"

After he asked the question, Nini didn't seem to fully understand it. She tilted her head and fell into deep thought.

Looking at Nini's childish face, Li Mu chuckled. He thought he was stupid for asking this.

Although Nini had behaved like a mature little adult before, she was only nine years old after all. How could she understand the concept of "repaying"?

Li Mu coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment, "Nini, you don't have to think about the answer to this question now. When you grow up, you will understand it naturally."

Then, he turned his gaze to Han Dong and asked, "Have you ever fed Nini mutant beast meat or other food containing source energy?"

Han Dong was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Li Mu to suddenly ask this question.

But he still answered truthfully: "The two deputy city lords once gave us a dire wolf, and later when we moved to Shuangpu Town, we also got some; so Nini did eat some mutant beast meat, but not much; as for other foods containing source energy, she has not eaten them."

"Ice wolf?" Han Dong's mention made Li Mu instantly recall that vague impression.

After the operation to encircle and suppress the direwolves was over, Cheng Cheng and Asao had mentioned this topic during dinner. However, he only remembered that what they sent seemed to be just an ordinary direwolf, which could barely be classified as a first-level mutant beast.

In addition, he remembered that some mutant beast meat was distributed later, but the quantity did not seem to be large.

It seems that Nini has not yet absorbed enough source energy, nor has she reached the critical point of awakening.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's interest was aroused and he decided to conduct a small experiment.

"Next, I will give Nini a test to verify whether she has the potential to become an awakener. The test will not cause any harm to her, but will bring certain benefits to her body."

"do you agree?"

Li Mu looked at Han Dong and asked seriously.

Han Dong immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this, even though he believed that Li Mu would not hurt Nini.

But what if something unexpected happens?
For a moment, Han Dong was in a dilemma.

Li Mu had no intention of urging him, he just waited quietly, it was not necessary to conduct this test.

"Dad, it's okay. I believe in the city lord brother."

Nini's firm voice suddenly came, and Han Dong nodded to Li Mu and agreed to the test.

Li Mu smiled indifferently, walked steadily towards Nini, placed his right hand gently on her shoulder, and slowly injected a warm source of energy into her.

This was a technique that took him a long time to figure out. By transferring his own energy into another person's body, he could replenish the other person's energy in a short period of time, thereby triggering the induction of the "X" gene in advance.

Once the "X" gene exists in the body of the tested person, this method will prompt them to awaken early and then have their own superpowers! However, after all, the source energy is provided by Li Mu and cannot exist in other people's bodies for a long time.

Therefore, the awakening ability of the subjects is relatively weak and cannot be compared with that of normal awakened people.

This method is like using laser to scan a pregnant woman's body in advance to predict the baby's gender, but this cannot change any facts. It is just knowing the arrangement of fate in advance.

……

Source energy surged in Nini's body, and her entire body was shrouded in green light, making her as charming as an elf in mythology.

"Huh? This is it!"

When Li Mu's source energy flowed through Nini's body, he suddenly felt a familiar source energy fluctuation.

This fluctuation is about 70% similar to his own wood-attributed source energy!

"Is it really so predestined?"

With such doubts, Li Mu slightly increased the input of source energy.

At the same time, Nini closed her eyes and held the handrails of the hanging basket tightly with both hands, her nervousness was beyond words.

Three minutes later, the green light on Nini became brighter and brighter, even turning the entire laboratory green, like a huge light bulb.

Suddenly, Nini opened her eyes and saw a small white flower blooming on the vine that originally served as a handrail!
