"Lin, do you really want to stop thinking about it?"

The nagging voice of the old professor came from the mobile phone:

"A genius like you in a major basic subject should have a top-notch research environment——

Although the biology laboratory of our university is not as good as Harvard, it is still top-notch in the world. How can you conduct research in a small shop by yourself?"

"Thank you for your concern, Professor Wilson...but I still insist that science comes from practice——

I was very interested in the Thousand Plant Transcriptome Project (1KP), which is about to start in November, so I decided to collect samples myself."

The gentle voice replied to the old professor's persuasion with a hint of apology. Oakes turned on the speakerphone, put the phone on the table, turned around and took a black hooded sweatshirt from the hanger and put it on.

Just as he touched the key in his pocket, he heard Professor Wilson's voice, which had been silent for a few seconds, rang again.

I don’t know if it’s a hands-free problem, but the old professor’s voice seemed a little helpless:

"Okay Lin, old man, this is the sixth invitation you have refused in this period...

But if you want to participate in this world-class action plan, I will help you explain it to other professors."

"Uh... thank you," Oakes touched his chin again, grinned, and grabbed the electric shaver next to the phone:

"Professor Wilson, you also know the significance of this world-class operation to botanical research——

This is a global collaboration to study the genetic and genomic diversity of plant species over more than 1 billion years, from green algae to flowering plants.

Although I have a degree in biology, my botany is actually a little more in-depth than my zoology."

"Buzz——"

The sound of the electric shaver rang, and Professor Wilson’s wry laughter came from the phone:

"Ah, what you said is true, but you are a genius who single-handedly raised the ranking of our biology major to the top three in the country——

I think you are more suitable to participate in the genetic sequencing and data research after collecting the samples. I can now imagine the guys at Harvard and MIT laughing at our faces."

"Well, I still hope to go to the rainforest to collect samples in person - I have been living in this reinforced concrete metropolis for too long, and I am almost out of touch with nature."

After touching his smooth chin, Oaks dropped the razor with satisfaction and picked up his phone:

"And Professor Wilson, a large part of my biological research is hoping to improve people's living environment. The research directions of you and other professors are still somewhat different from mine."

"Aha, Lin, I have to say that your goal is great...but I still have reservations about an academic elite like you running a small green plant shop!"

Oakes smiled apologetically:

"Professor Wilson, this is a social experiment...it won't take long for you to understand -

Other professors, please apologize on my behalf again~ That’s it, bye~”

"beep!"

After hanging up the phone, Oakes breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone in his jeans pocket, straightened his red hair, went downstairs in a comfortable mood, locked the store door, and turned towards the back door.

Oakes Lin, Ph.D. in Biology, graduated from Cornell University in New York, and is somewhat famous in academia.

Although he lives in New York, Oakes is actually half-Central European and half Irish.

Therefore, although his face shape and facial features are very close to his father's Chinese ancestry, one of the most distinctive Celtic characteristics derived from his mother - red hair, is still reflected in him.

His residence, the "Emerald Dream" green plant store in the 20th block of Brooklyn, New York, is a single-family two-story store, which is the greatest legacy left to him by his parents -

When Oakes was fourteen years old, at the end of 1999, the couple was involved in a car accident when they returned from a business trip, and they didn't even have time to leave any last words.

When he received the news, he was happily waiting for his parents to come back to celebrate Christmas. Under the huge stimulation, he fainted from grief and became what he is now when he woke up.

A... special soul took over his life.

Therefore, although Oaks, who is now 23 years old, has a car, he tries not to drive it when going out unless delivering goods.

As for taking the subway...please, is the subway in New York called a subway? Hell!

"If it's my birthday, I'll close the shop and take a day off...but life lies in exercise."

After locking the back door, Oaks looked up at the half-open transom, and then glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist:

"September 22, 2008, ten o'clock in the morning."

Nodding, Oaks stretched his body, squatted slightly, and then jumped——

"call out--"

There was a flash of light, and Oaks' slender figure, which was nearly 1.9 meters tall, disappeared. Instead, a fat orange cat with a big face slipped through the transom and disappeared in an instant.

Yes, this is what’s special about Oaks——

In his previous life, his name was Lin Xingye.

Born in an industrial city, he has had an infinite yearning for nature since he was a child. Even when playing games, he chose careers with a natural background.

Therefore, he majored in environmental protection and chose to become a ranger in a national forest nature reserve after graduating from college.

On his thirtieth birthday, Lin Xingye died heroically in an operation to investigate a poaching syndicate in order to prevent the poachers from causing forest fires.

When he regained consciousness, he received a gift from nature.

Although the place of reincarnation is not very good - New York is one of the cities in the world with the worst environmental quality, not to mention the terrifying gap between rich and poor and the mixture of glamor and chaos.

But the power of nature not only strengthened his body and spirit, but also gave him unique spells and inheritance——

"The unique four-talented profession, the magical stick of the Bear Tree Meow Goo, and the natural messenger of Azeroth——"

"Druid!"

Although he had a very deep understanding of this so-called panacea profession, Oaks was not happy for long after he gained the ability.

Because, just when he had not fully integrated the memory of his predecessor, a high-profile world conference was broadcast on TV.

It was the 1999-2000 New Year's Eve Technology Conference in Berne, Switzerland.

A cross-century academic event for the world's top scientists.

And the most dazzling star among them is——

Chairman and CEO of Stark Industries, genius scientist, wealthy philanthropist, famous playboy...

Tony Stark!

And there seemed to be tidbits about him and another female scientist being spread that night.

Well, this is something that the public likes to hear.

But Oakes was sitting on the wax.

After carefully sorting out the memories of his predecessor, he had to hold on to his somewhat exuberant mentality——

In this world, there is Stark Industries and Tony Stark.

Stark Industries has factories in Long Island and Queens, New York.

Moreover, there is a Captain America Memorial in Brooklyn where he lives.

Well, Captain America, The Howling Commandos, Ms. Peggy Carter’s Memoirs of World War II.

Still can’t explain the problem?

Although this ability is quite interesting, we are not in a primitive society now!

In an era when the earth's ecosystem has been destroyed like this, natural spellcasters are simply innately weakened...

"There has to be a cover identity!"
