Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Positive Role Model

[Host, the enhanced seedlings have the following characteristics:]

The system patiently explained, [Growth cycle shortened by 50%, drought resistance increased by 300%, survival rate up to 95%.]

"This is incredible!" Xu Ying couldn’t help but exclaim in delight, a happy grin spreading across her face.

This means she can establish a more extensive oasis in a much shorter time under harsher conditions!

This is exactly what Xu Ying needs now!

[This is the result of the host’s long-term commitment to desert protection.]

The system’s voice was filled with gratification, [Every point of credit is earned through your hard work, this is your honor~]

[To conceal the system’s existence, the enhanced seedlings (growth cycle -50% / drought resistance +300% / survival rate 95%) you redeemed will automatically replace the ordinary seedlings in the warehouse.]

"Great, exchange a thousand for me first!"

Xu Ying rubbed her hands together, already full of enthusiasm, as the goal of turning the desert into an oasis seemed within reach!

After days of effort, Xu Ying led the team to tailor various protective gear for the little animals in the desert—desert foxes wore specially made paw covers, sand cats donned wear-resistant vests, and even the little lizards had their own sun-protection gear.

Surprisingly, the little ones cooperated more smoothly, and the efficiency of tree planting had improved several times over from the beginning.

One week later in the early morning, while the morning dew had not yet dissipated, Xu Ying was squatting down adjusting a paw cover for a sou mao.

Suddenly, the roar of a car engine came from afar.

She looked up to see a strange black sedan leading a tour bus, slowly approaching along the desert highway, finally stopping at the entrance of the tree planting base.

"What is this..." Xu Ying stood up in confusion, patting the sand off her hands. Just then, the car door opened, and a familiar figure jumped out—it was Ye Jie!

"Ye Zi!" Xu Ying exclaimed in surprise, running over in a few strides, "It’s a five-hour drive from the city! How did you..."

Ye Jie took off her sunglasses, revealing a bright smile: "I just wrapped up filming a new drama and have half a month off."

She pointed to the bus where doors were opening, "I saw your videos with the animals planting trees online, and it looked so interesting, I thought I’d come help."

Only then did Xu Ying notice the young people getting off the bus one after another, wearing uniform green T-shirts with "Ye Jie Fan Club · Desert Tree Planting Action" printed on the front.

"These are all..." Xu Ying widened her eyes in amazement.

"My fan club!" Ye Jie said with a smile, "I posted about coming to plant trees on Weibo, and I didn’t expect so many fans would want to join in."

As she was speaking, a group of fans excitedly gathered around: "Hello, Station Chief Xu!"

"We love watching your videos with the animals!"

"Wow, it’s even more spectacular here than in the videos!"

Suddenly, a wave of cheers erupted.

It turned out to be a sand cat wearing camouflage paw covers, dragging a seedling through the crowd, its head held high, melting the hearts of everyone.

Soon, several desert foxes in red vests joined the "performance," skillfully digging, and burying soil, prompting fans to whip out their phones for filming.

"This is too cute!"

"Look at that little sand cat watering!"

"They really can plant trees!"

The delightful exclamations echoed over the desert, making even the morning breeze lively.

Ye Jie gently patted Xu Ying on the shoulder, her tone gentle yet firm: "Don’t worry, I’m covering all the accommodation and meals for the fans who came this time, it won’t add any burden to the base."

She glanced at the fans interacting with the little animals, satisfaction in her eyes, "I just need to trouble Little Xu Station Chief to help arrange their tree planting work."

Xu Ying quickly waved her hand, her eyes slightly misty: "How could it be a hassle! I’m more than happy. Recently we’ve been expanding the planting area and were just short on manpower."

She looked at the fans who had spontaneously started helping, her voice choked with emotion, "I’m really grateful you all came."

Ye Jie shook her head, the sunlight casting a soft glow on her delicate profile: "It’s me who should say thank you."

She paused, her voice quieter, "Thanks to the ’Desert Survival Law,’ the audience got to see the real me."

Since the show aired, the public opinion completely reversed, and even directors who never considered her before proactively sent her scripts.

Just then, a few fans cautiously approached.

The girl leading them had her hair tied in a ponytail, looking at Xu Ying with shining eyes: "Little Xu Station Chief, thank you so much!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "In the past, Ye Zi was always maliciously misconstrued by marketing accounts, and no matter how we fans explained, it was futile..."

"Exactly!"

Another girl with glasses chimed in, "Those articles painted such a terrible picture of Ye Zi, we felt heartbroken yet powerless." She looked at Xu Ying gratefully, "Thanks to you for always taking care of Ye Zi on the show, letting the audience see her true self."

The president of the fan club, a quiet girl with short hair, solemnly handed Xu Ying a thick envelope: "This is a donation we raised on our own, though it’s not much..."

Her fingers unconsciously twisted her clothing hem, "But it’s a token of everyone’s appreciation, hoping to contribute to the desert construction."

Xu Ying accepted the envelope with both hands, feeling the weight not just from the envelope itself, but the genuine sincerity within. She took a deep breath, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you all... truly..."

In the sunlight, she saw not only Ye Jie, but the hopeful glows in the young fans’ eyes as well.

At this moment, Xu Ying deeply realized that a positive influence idol can ignite the power of good within fans like a spark.

When viewers in the livestream saw Ye Jie unexpectedly appear on screen with the fan club, the bullet comments exploded.

The viewer count soared visibly, and the comment section was flooded with waves of amazement:

[Oh my god! Is this a dream team-up from ’Desert Survival Law’?!]

[This is such sincere fan service! The show ended so long ago, and we still get to see the ’Desert Sisters’ reunited!]

[555 Ye Jie is truly so warm-hearted, while other celebrities are vacationing on islands during their leave, she’s leading fans to plant trees in the desert.]

The bullet comments floated by like snowflakes, and audiences were deeply moved by this unexpected reunion.

Someone keenly noticed: [Ye Jie is wearing the overalls from the show! It seems she really cherishes this experience.]

Even more heartwarming was that as the camera panned, they saw every fan earnestly following Xu Ying to learn tree planting techniques, with no signs of faking it.

[This is what a positive influence idol truly is! Not about faking numbers, but bringing fans to do real deeds.]
