Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"Is it really that dangerous?"

Yang Lin looked somewhat surprised upon hearing the other party's reminder.

A hint of disbelief appeared on his face.

"No matter what, Europe is a developed region; it can't be that chaotic, can it?"

"I'm just an ordinary businessman, going out to sell some mushrooms. Why would I be targeted like this?"

When Yang Lin asked him this question, the airport security captain suddenly remembered that he and the passenger in front of him had only met once and were complete strangers.

We're not close enough to interfere in each other's lives or offer advice.

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm being a little too sensitive."

The captain gave an awkward smile: "Because of my profession, I have some knowledge of cases involving the murder of some foreign forces and some domestic tourists."

Every year, some Chinese people are held hostage by foreign forces for various inexplicable reasons.

They are targeted or even in danger abroad.

Although you were also a victim in today's incident.

However, similar cases have appeared in previous case files, in which victims faced retaliatory attacks after going abroad.

So I mentioned it earlier; please forgive my abruptness, sir.

"Oh, I see. It's alright, no offense intended. Thank you for your kindness," Yang Lin said.

"Of course, I was just being too narrow-minded," the captain continued. "Actually, putting aside those individual cases, Europe is still quite safe. As long as you don't go to certain specific places when traveling abroad through normal channels, your safety is generally guaranteed."

"What we need to be careful about is the potential property loss caused by thieves and robbers."

"Thank you for the reminder. We'll be careful once we get outside," Yang Lin nodded in response.

Feeling that he might have talked too much, the security captain smiled and turned away.

Yang Lin and Su Rong, along with other company employees, started chatting away.

Soon, an announcement came over the loudspeaker at the airport.

Inform all passengers traveling to Rome to bring their boarding passes and proceed to the gate.

Yang Lin and Su Rong, along with their company employees on a business trip, boarded the plane one after another.

As a long-haul flight with a flight time of twelve hours, the aircraft is very well equipped.

In the first class cabin where Yang Lin was located, passengers had private suites, Michelin-starred catering services, and on-demand entertainment such as TV and movies.

There were also tall flight attendants patrolling the cabin, promptly refilling drinks and adjusting blankets.

The chair you sit on is not only spacious and comfortable, but it can also be adjusted 180 degrees, so you can lie down however you like.

How utterly delightful!

Boom!

A deafening explosion was heard, and the plane suddenly took off.

The air pressure inside the airport also changes due to the takeoff of the aircraft.

Yang Lin's ears were buzzing, as if two small motors were spinning and humming in his ears.

Here we go again!

Yang Lin, who was lying on the chair, frowned and used the little tricks that his employees had taught him before he boarded the plane.

Open your mouth wide and yawn, making swallowing motions to relieve the discomfort caused by takeoff and landing.

To be honest, it does have some use.

Compared to my previous two flying experiences, this time it was definitely a little more comfortable.

Even so, the discomfort caused by takeoff has not been completely eliminated.

The feeling of unease gradually disappeared only after the plane entered the stratosphere.

"The human body is really fragile..."

"If the plane crashes and I fall from here, I'll definitely die, right?"

Once back in a comfortable state, Yang Lin looked down at the clouds outside the porthole and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

At this moment, he no longer had the leisurely mood he had when he boarded the Tanzhou flight that morning, nor did he have the interest to compose poems or appreciate the scenery.

I fell off a cliff and died too quickly in my past life, without having time to think.

The pain the original owner experienced had little to do with him, and he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

But today, when the assailant used his thick arm to choke him, Yang Lin felt the fear of death again for a fleeting moment.

Although it relies on its ability to create and control mycelium, and the toxic properties of the fly mushroom.

They successfully dealt with those thugs.

But... what if something else unexpected happens?

If the perpetrators were not ordinary people acting on impulse, but well-trained terrorists, and if they were armed, they could have easily fired indiscriminately in retaliation before succumbing to the poison.

If I were shot, my body would surely die, right?

Will he be as lucky as he was in his previous life and get the chance to travel through time again?

Yang Lin suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear.

Even though his abilities are beyond the comprehension of this world.

But as a human being, life is always so fragile.

The existence and emergence of life are full of surprises and coincidences.

Similarly, the continuation of life cannot withstand any accidents.

Just like those strong and burly thugs who lost their fighting ability simply because of a little bit of insignificant toxin.

Living organisms are always so fragile, unable to withstand even the slightest change.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, don't think about it too much."

Yang Lin shook his head, turned on the screen in the cabin, started a movie, put on his Bluetooth headphones, and decided to relax.

As the light appeared, rhythmic background music quickly followed.

Captain Eagle

That was a Hollywood superhero blockbuster from the United States.

The story tells of how scientists from the United States accidentally developed a gene-enhancing drug, which inadvertently created a super soldier during World War II.

Then there's the story of this super soldier who uses his immense strength to overcome all sorts of treacherous environments that are difficult for ordinary people to overcome, completing one impossible mission after another.

For Yang Lin, who has lived two lives, the story of "Captain Eagle Kingdom" is fairly conventional.

But for the people of Earth, the Eagle Kingdom captain's abnormal physical abilities and formidable personal strength, coupled with seemingly plausible scientific evidence, were absolutely groundbreaking conjectures.

This movie is incredibly popular.

There are also many comments below the video, with many of Captain America's fans even believing that in a few decades, their country will be able to develop gene-editing drugs and lead all of humanity toward evolution.

"Leading humanity toward evolution?"

"interesting."

As Yang Lin watched the movie, he suddenly became interested.

He suddenly remembered the biology class he had taken in his previous life.

I thought of the several mass extinctions on Earth.

Even powerful dinosaurs from the Jurassic era couldn't withstand the climate changes brought about by a few meteorites hitting the earth.

Giant insects from various ancient times, prehistoric creatures.

They disappeared without a trace simply because of some changes in oxygen content.

In the modern era, human technology has become very advanced.

Devices that can fly and disappear into the ground, nuclear weapons that can destroy a city in one strike.

Even exploring outer space.

Modern society has accomplished many things that ancient creatures could never have imagined.

But returning to humanity itself, no matter how powerful these technologies and countless instruments and devices are, they are still inadequate.

It also cannot solve the problem of the inherent fragility of humankind.

When riding a motorcycle, be sure to wear a helmet. Airplane cabins must be sealed.

You must bring oxygen when diving.

Going to space requires wearing a spacesuit, and the rocket's acceleration cannot exceed the limits that the human body can withstand.

Technology arose with the emergence of humankind, and it also stagnated due to the limitations of the human body.

Therefore, the worship of individual power will never disappear in human society.

Therefore, no matter how powerful bullets are, various boxing and martial arts competitions are still popular.

No matter how fast a car goes, track and field events will always be a major part of the sports meet.

No matter how fast the car, how thick the clothes, or how expensive the medicine... they are all ultimately external things.

It's far less efficient than the human body being able to run that fast, withstand extreme cold and heat, and be immune to various diseases.

"An immune disease... I think I could give it a try."

In a flash, Yang Lin immediately began to carefully sense his palm.

I want to see the bacteria on my hands.

Under normal circumstances, bacteria are not visible to the naked eye without the aid of a microscope.

However, besides the microscope, Yang Lin can also rely on his mycelium.

Mushrooms belong to the fungi family.

Hyphae are the tubular structures of fungi.

On the scale of fungal hyphae, bacteria are not some invisible microorganisms.

Rather, it is a formidable competitor.

Yang Lin silently created a thin layer of mycelium in his palm.

Put your palms together and rub them back and forth.

This allows the mycelium to shift, enabling one to concentrate their mental energy and attempt to sense the activity of bacteria on their hands.

However, even after rubbing his hands until they were almost raw, Yang Lin found only a bunch of dead bacterial cells on the thin layer of mycelium covering his palms.

It didn't come into contact with almost any living bacteria.

"Could it be that I created too many mycelia by hand, killing all the bacteria?"

A conjecture suddenly occurred to Yang Lin.

As microorganisms, bacteria and fungi are often in a life-or-death competition.

Just like fermented dough contains only yeast, and moldy orange peel contains only Penicillium.

In the favorable environment of fungi, ordinary bacteria simply cannot survive.

As a being capable of creating mycelium, the palm is a position he frequently uses.

Large amounts of controlled mycelium often emerge from his palms.

How could ordinary bacteria possibly survive on his palm?

As his thoughts raced, Yang Lin placed his hand on the blanket on his thigh.

A sliver of the most primitive, non-toxic, and harmless termite mushroom mycelium silently seeped from his palm, penetrating the seams of the blanket and appearing as a fingernail-sized stain on the blanket.

"Waiter, come here for a moment."

Yang Lin called over a flight attendant from the first-class cabin.

Upon hearing the passenger's call, a beautiful flight attendant who was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed just over 100 pounds quickly came to Yang Lin's side and politely inquired.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

"I bought a first-class ticket, and look at this blanket, it's all moldy!"

"Give me a new one."

Yang Lin pointed to the blanket covering his legs and said, feigning anger.

"Oh no, I didn't even notice!"

"Oh no...I hope he won't report me?"

The flight attendant's heart skipped a beat when she looked down at the blanket, and she quickly put on an apologetic smile.

"I'm so sorry, sir. It must have been a mistake on our part. I'll get you a new one right away."

"Go on, go on, hurry up," Yang Lin said, waving his hand.

The flight attendant picked up the blanket from Yang Lin's lap and quickly left.

In less than a minute, they brought Yang Lin a brand new, unopened blanket.

Worried about any unforeseen circumstances, the flight attendant carefully checked the blanket before gently covering Yang Lin with it.

"Don't worry, I won't complain."

As if sensing the flight attendant's concerns, Yang Lin offered an explanation.

"Thank you... thank you for your understanding, sir."

"Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

The flight attendant thanked Yang Lin several times, then turned and walked away.

……

"How could this happen? It's not humid here, so how could the blankets get moldy...?"

Back in the cabin, the flight attendant held the blanket that had just been removed, looking extremely dejected.

She touched the mold-like stain with her hand, then rubbed the blanket to remove it.

Restore the blanket to its original appearance.

"Forget it, let's not give this blanket to first-class passengers in the future, to avoid any more problems."

As they were talking, the flight attendant carried the blanket toward the economy class of the plane.

……

"Ha ha……"

Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh when he sensed the flight attendant giving the "moldy" blanket she had taken off to an employee of Xianglong Company in economy class.

"The difference between a wise man and a fool is like that between rats; it all depends on where they choose to be."

The ancients were right.

On the same plane, with the same flight attendant, I, traveling in first class, feel differently than my subordinates traveling in economy class.

It means you can get better service.

Of course, it's not that he's unwilling to pay for his company's employees so they can also enjoy first-class treatment.

However, the number of first-class seats on airplanes is extremely limited.

Even if he were willing to pay, he couldn't possibly allow all the other employees in the company to travel in first class.

Therefore, only he, the boss, and Su Rong, the manager, could sit there.

After laughing, Yang Lin quickly closed his eyes and focused all his energy on sensing the mycelium.

He created mycelium on the blanket not to flirt with the flight attendant or to complain about her playing games.

Instead, we want to try to see if his mycelium can be used for other purposes besides producing mushrooms and cultivating edible fungi.

For example, it helps the human body eliminate bacteria that appear on the outside of the body.

……

With the development of Xianglong Company's business and its strong competitive advantage of low prices, the number of mushroom strains sold by the company has steadily increased. Yang Lin's current mycelium scale is many times larger than before.

Similarly, his ability to sense mycelium has also been elevated to a whole new level.

In the past, there had to be at least a clump of mycelium the size of a fist, or at the very least, a clump of mycelium the size of a finger.

The sensing level is within the macroscopic range visible to the naked eye.

However, his ability to sense mycelia is now detailed down to the micrometer level.

Yang Lin calls this level... "meticulous".

It is also thanks to this level of subtle sensing and control capabilities that

Only then could he successfully deal with those thugs.

Yang Lin firmly believed that he was a good person.

His ability was not developed for poisoning and killing.

So now, he plans to try to heal people.
