I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart
Chapter 278 - Competing for a Place
Panda Novel
“A young figure covered in blue electric currents was flying and searching for monsters at an extremely fast speed. Sss… Have all of you ever thought of the possibility that these super-geniuses are actually the same person?”
“…”
Once this post appeared, all the netizens who saw it went silent for a moment.
Afterward, there was a series of question marks and periods.
Soon, someone posted excitedly.
“Impossible, our district is quite far from the other districts…”
“Does distance matter? That monster’s flying speed is extremely fast.”
“Ss… That seems really possible.”
“I don’t think so. Within a few hours, he fought in various places and found 10 beasts who were good at hiding. This is just damn ridiculous!”
“What’s more ridiculous is that this guy is very young. Oh, we have a photo of him. Look, are they the same person?”
“Yes, it’s him.
“Although I didn’t catch a clear glimpse of him, he has electric currents all over him when he’s flying. It must be him.”
“His speed of executing missions is as fast as his blue flash.”
“Blue flash? This nickname is not bad.”
“By the way, don’t you find him handsome?”
“Indeed, he’s super dashing! Ha ha ha. I’m done!!!”
“What did you do?”
…
The number of posts below the thread was increasing. In the end, this news of Lin Yao went viral.
Of course, a lot of the credit went to Lin Yao’s handsome photo.
Light Adjustment enabled Lin Yao to evolve toward perfection. He already possessed the charm to attract everyone, yet Lin Yao looked so good in the photo that some ladies felt the urge to lick the screen.
That was a photo of Lin Yao’s perfect figure, as well as his chiseled, handsome face, while he was standing tall and straight in the sky. This sight was attractive enough.
When Lin Yao was releasing thunder and lighting all over his body with a serious expression, he exuded a peculiar, majestic aura, as if he was a young god in the mortal world. Other people couldn’t take their eyes off him.
With these embellishments, the Thunderbolt Mark on Lin Yao’s glabella and the lightning released by his fingertips looked peculiarly beautiful.
Because he looked so dashing, this photo, Lin Yao’s series of battle achievements, as well as the nickname ‘Blue Flash’ went viral on the Internet.
Of course, Lin Yao was unaware of this. He was doing his best to find monsters.
As Lin Yao was busy, the military personnel, armed police, and heavenly kings of China were also busy rescuing people all over China.
However, China was too huge. There were many lives and places to save. Therefore, deaths and separations were occurring from time to time.
Tianhai City was one of the most unfortunate places. Some mutations had already occurred in this place before the fifth spirit energy tide. This time, some hitches happened again.
A unique, dangerous land had appeared in this place and caused at least 100,000 deaths the very night of its appearance.
The country had launched a combat-level space ability the moment the anomaly surfaced and sent a group of titled warlords and powerhouses over there. They managed to force the freaks and beasts that had emerged from the dangerous land to retreat.
However, by then, deaths and casualties had already occurred. The titled warlord could only subdue the freaks and beasts. It was not possible to eliminate the dangerous land within a short time.
What gave the higher-ups of Tianhai City a headache was that hundreds of thousands of people had died in less than six months. Every family was holding funerals, and this dangerous situation had filled the people in the city with fear and panic.
There were feelings of sorrow, fear, panic, suffering, and hatred everywhere… All kinds of negative emotions were accumulating in the air of Tianhai City. This brought about another negative effect: The mysterious land in Tianhai City was expanding rapidly.
It was cut off from the outside world, there were internal mysterious lands and frequent appearances of dangerous lands, and beasts entered the city from the broken city walls, which resulted in dangers and crises everywhere in Tianhai City. Ordinary residents were dying every day.
Thankfully, all the adult residents of the city were martial artists. Otherwise, the death and casualty toll would have been worse.
The higher-ups already found the current situation a tough nut to crack, and the lower-ranking ones felt extremely precarious.
Nobody hoped to die. Even the brave ones who were not afraid of death wanted their families to be safe.
If they could leave, they would have evacuated long ago, but they couldn’t. Under the circumstances, the safety zone set up by Tianhai City was the best choice for everyone in the city.
However, the capacity of the safety zone was limited, and not everyone could enter it.
The Yin Family was considered an influential, powerful family in Tianhai City. Despite this, they had only been given a quota of seven places.
After the family members discussed it, they decided to leave most of the places to the children.
“I’ve only got a few years left to live. What’s the point of giving me a place? It’s going to be a waste.”
“Seek refuge? What are you guys thinking of? I am the main force that can deal with the freaks. Let the children have the places.”
With this thought in mind, most of the places were given to the children. However, one would know just by looking at Lin Yao’s family. This world had expanded, so the country had long dropped the family planning policy. Even an ordinary family like Lin Yao’s also had three siblings, let alone rich and wealthy families.
After these rich, powerful families expanded, they had dozens of children. Seven places were not enough by any means.
The Yin Family almost had an internal strife because of these seven places.
Today, Yin Meng and Yin Yin had transferred the three places to the family. Upon hearing this news, their aunties had a clash in front of outsiders, not caring if others gossiped.
They held their children dear to their hearts and wanted them to be safe. Therefore, they were going all out.
Weeping, complaints, and all kinds of voices were heard in the room.
“Dad, you can’t leave Ah Hao alone.”
“Xiaoyu is such an obedient and sensible child. Oo, oo, oo…”
“Third Sister’s husband sacrificed his life. I have nothing to say about giving their son the place, but it should be our turn this time!”
“Your Ah Hao bullies people every day. It’s not worth wasting the place on him…”
Almost instantly, the room was filled with clamor. Coincidentally, the Yin Family had organized a meeting today to discuss some things. Sounds of crying, sobs, and laments about how intelligent their child was, as well as accusations, landed the Yin Family in chaos, making them a laughing stock for others.
Some female members of the Yin Family also rushed there upon learning the news. As they had been too anxious, they turned up panting and looking disheveled. This was a great embarrassment for a prominent family.
Nevertheless, if one were to take a closer look, the onlookers’ faces would be filled with envy instead of ridicule when they saw the chaos in the room.
There were three places, and the onlookers also yearned for them. This was akin to three lives.
To be specific, those with children were hugging their children tightly and biting their lips until they turned pale.
Just as everyone was feeling envious, the arriving guests gradually understood something. This quota had not been attained by Yin Meng. It had been given out by Lin Yao, whom Yin Meng and Yin Yin had been taking refuge with.
At the same time, Yin Yin’s mother was the one who had the final say about the allocation of the places.
This made many people shun the Yin Family for ‘selling’ their daughters. Of course, this did not erase the jealousy in their hearts.
As everyone was feeling envious, the heads of the Yin Family were happy about getting more places. However, their heads were also hurting at the sight of this crying bunch of people, as they had no idea how to allocate the two remaining places.
This was a tough call.
“Sigh… If only we had a higher quota.”
Of course, this was just a thought, and they didn’t dare ask for more. It was not that easy to attain places in the safety zone. 5,000 points were the equivalent of 5,000 merit points. These had to be exchanged at the risk of one’s life.
At the same time, the onlookers were not stupid. They didn’t try to seize the place of Yin Yin’s mother. Even when Yin Yin volunteered to give up her place, the idea had been rejected.
“Xiaoyiu, Ah Hao, Xiaohai… There are too many people. Dad, what should we do?”
“What should we do? Life and death are predestined by heaven. Let’s draw lots!”
In the end, the Yin Family chose to draw lots to determine who should get the places in the safety zone. The successful people were elated, whereas the rest were crying out loud.
“Sorry, sorry. Xiaohai, it’s my fault.”
“Dad, let me draw one more time. Just one more time.”
“Sister-in-law, I…”
Besides crying, some people seemingly thought of something and flocked to Yin Yin’s mother, currying favor with her.
Of course, Yin Yin’s mother knew why the sister-in-laws who had been fighting overtly and covertly with her in the past were now fawning over her. However, she would not get her own daughters to plead with Lin Yao because of this.
While she pitied the children of the family, she cared more about her daughters.
“Three places are already Xiaomeng and Xiaoyin’s limit. Lin Yao is very young after all. He has already done his best to get these three places…”
“It’s true that three places require 15,000 merit points. Even if he killed a gold warlord, he’d have to kill two of them. We shouldn’t be so greedy.”
Yin Yin’s mother said this to dispel the hopes of others. The head of the Yin Family also agreed and echoed her words.
It was not because they didn’t want the quota, but they wanted to maintain a good relationship with Lin Yao.
In their opinion, Tianhai City would suffer huge damage even if it was not destroyed. Be it for safety reasons or their future development, the Yin Family would have to migrate elsewhere.
Their plan to migrate aside, they had to find some backers even if they were to go to another city. Otherwise, how could the winners in other cities allow other families to share the pie with them? Lin Yao could become their strong backer. Therefore, the Yin Family would not damage the relationship at this point in time.
However, before Yin Yin’s mother and some of the more mature and wise family members could finish their words, a phone in the room rang.
The ringtone belonged to Yin Yin’s mother. After she picked up the call, her voice turned high-pitched in just a few breaths of time. “What did you say? Lin Yao gave you guys seven more places?”
