“Beep! Detected that the host is a normal person. Activating the system’s automatic binding.”

“5% … 15% … 99%, successfully binding the host.”

“Restoring the host’s spiritual power. The seed cultivation system has been installed!”

Ye Heng woke up when he heard a mechanical electronic sound. He had already regained consciousness.

“Where am I now?” Ye Heng asked in a daze. He was experiencing a headache due to the hangover.

“Boss, you’re awake? You drank so much last night, you must be feeling dizzy now, right? Hurry up and drink some hangover soup.” A gentle-looking woman who was beside him replied to Ye Heng with a tender expression. She had been looking after Ye Heng when he was unconscious.

“It’s you, Zhao Yao. Sorry to have troubled you. You can just call me Ye Heng from now on, no need to call me ‘boss’.” This beautiful woman by the name of Zhao Yao was his former assistant, or it should be “former assistant”.

After Ye Heng unintentionally inherited the company left behind by his deceased parents, he had been working very hard to manage the company.

At first, things went rather smoothly. However, after he accepted the green project from the Qianda Group, a large portion of the community green plants managed by his company withered and died.

Moreover, an important point was that his Yip’s Environmental Protection Enterprise had injected a lot of capital into this bidding project. They had even obtained a bank loan for it. Now that the green plants had died, the loss incurred was enough to ruin his company completely!

When the employees in the company were informed about this, one-fifth of them eventually left and only about thirty people remained in the company.

When he saw the legal contract before him, Ye Heng was speechless. He was forced to abandon his company and declare bankruptcy because he could not handle the current financial difficulties. However, it turned out that his company was acquired by his nemesis, Gao Corporation!

Ye Heng’s Fang Corporation only cost them nine million yuan. They did not have to pay for the construction projects and debts. Therefore, the terms of the acquisition were ridiculous!

Ye Heng was willing to sell his company to Gao Corporation because they had promised to keep all his employees. After all, he did not want his employees in the company to lose their jobs because of him!

However, the nine million yuan did not go into Ye Heng’s pockets at all. It was directly returned to the bank. He also ended up selling his recreational vehicle to get the remaining one million yuan to make for the difference.

Ye Heng, who had lost everything, also realised how cold-hearted people can be. When he left, none of the employees in the company was willing to send him off.

As for this assistant Zhao Yao, he didn’t treat her exceptionally well in the company but she chose to carry her bag and walked out of the company with him.

“Boss, I know very well that the reason for being strict with me back then was for my personal development and growth. Therefore, in my heart, you will always be my boss,” Zhao Yao said softly.

Ye Heng said, “Alright, don’t say anymore. Now that you have left the company, just call me by my name.”

“Hmm … okay… then, Ye… Ye Heng, please drink the hangover soup first. The meat porridge is still cooking in the pot, it should be ready soon,” Zhao Yao said with some hesitation.

“Okay, thank you, Zhao Yao.” Ye Heng took the hangover soup and drank it bit by bit. He was becoming more clear-headed now.

He closed his eyes and images of a desolate planet, as well as a seemingly ordinary seed, suddenly appeared in his mind.

In the next moment, in the absence of nutrients and a water source, and under the irradiation of ultra-high intensity radiation, the seed took root and sprouted on the planet!

Then, the endless roots of the plant penetrated the planet’s surface and transformed into a majestic tree, one that towered over countless square kilometres!

It was a terrifying and alarming scene to Ye Heng and he was stunned by it momentarily. What seemed like an ordinary seed could take root and sprout in a desolate planet!

Furthermore, this primitively desolate planet became a planet suitable for humans to live on!

“Could it be… that this is the ability of the seed modification system?”

“That’s right. Host, the system now provides refining clauses for the four furnaces!”

Then, six rays of light appeared in his head. Each of them contained a furnace.

From top to bottom, the names were “fusion furnace”, “transformation furnace”, “strengthening furnace”, “replication furnace”, “extraction furnace” and “planting furnace” respectively!

However, two rays of light were grey and obviously could not be used.

The system’s justification was that the host’s mind power was not strong enough, so they could not be activated.

“How do I use the four furnaces that are not sealed off?” Ye Heng looked at the system page that suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with curiosity.

From the looks of it, these must be related to seeds and greening!

“The host needs to figure it out by himself. ” Other than these words, the system did not say anything else. Ye Heng was shocked when he heard this.

“Alright, this system is called the seed system, so it must have something to do with seeds.” Ye Heng was the boss of a greening company, so he was very familiar with seeds.

After all, from now on, he would not be so busy anymore. He would also have time to buy some seeds to experiment with.

When the company was acquired, Ye Heng had decided to take a break and think about his future path.

After he sold his recreational vehicle to fill up the remaining financial gaps, he still had around four hundred and fifty thousand yuan left. He was not completely poor.

Moreover, he used to be a boss and had his resources and connections. He would not let himself starve.

“Ye Heng, have breakfast.” Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s voice came from the living room, interrupting Ye Heng’s thoughts.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Ye Heng stood up, went to wash up and after that, he headed to the living room.

On the table, a steaming bowl of meat porridge was already prepared for him. Ye Heng smelled the fragrance coming from the porridge and his stomach suddenly began to growl.

“Pfft! Ye Heng, you drank too much wine yesterday. You must be hungry now, right? Hurry up and eat!” Zhao Yao covered her mouth and laughed.

“That’s right, you guessed it right. I’m really hungry.” Ye Heng held up the bowl of porridge, blew on it and hurriedly ate. “It’s… it’s a little hot.”

“It’s okay, don’t rush. There’s still some in the pot.” Zhao Yao’s eyes were full of smiles.

However, Ye Heng ate so quickly not because he was hungry.

It was because the system had consumed a lot of Ye Heng’s energy during the binding process, so he needed to replenish it as soon as possible.

“Ye Heng, in the future… What do you plan to do? If… you still want to start a business again, if you need money, I can… support you,” Zhao Yao asked curiously as she ate her porridge..
