At that time, the starship transmitted the distress message and the last video footage back. The Wizard World began preparations after receiving the message, then dispatched Stigmata Wizard and the Wizard Army, and finally set off. It would take another 12 years to reach the Homo Sapiens World.

Although Leo was unsure of the exact timeframe for this process, he estimated that thirty years would be sufficient.

Now that twenty years have passed, all that's needed is to hide for another ten years.

Even if this timeframe is slightly off, it won't exceed five years.

In other words, the Wizard World's rescue could come in as little as five years, or at most fifteen years.

Planting your Life-Bound Tree is like the last lesson of your student days, similar to a graduation exam, and everyone takes a car to the outskirts of the city.

Leo tapped his fingers lightly, seemingly without rhythm, but in reality, it was a form of communication similar to Morse code.

Soon, he felt a familiar thud from a small fist on his earlobe, and Leo smiled.

Although he hadn't dared to let Yaoyao appear in the Homo Sapiens World all these years, Yaoyao's shadow abilities allowed her to communicate with Leo easily.

Leo had just instructed Yaoyao to observe the changes in the planted Life-Bound Tree through the Shadow World, and to inform Leo whether any changes were within a controllable range.

If even Yaoyao can't find anything, then Leo will have no choice but to resort to the trick of reincarnation.

This was a last resort; Leo wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

At the edge of the forest outside the city, everyone got out of the vehicles, took their tools, and headed towards the designated area.

Leo had a good reputation in the class. While others chose soft soil, Leo chose the worst and hardest spot. This action undoubtedly made the teachers and classmates like Leo even more.

While the other students dug a foot deep, Leo only dug an inch.

While the other students had all planted their own "Life-Bound Tree" and watered it with water mixed with their own blood, Leo's pit was still not finished.

By the time the other students had finished singing hymns to their own Life-Bound Tree, Leo's hole was still not dug.

The so-called hymn to life roughly means that I planted you today, so please bless me to grow healthily, and I will come back to water you in the future.

Similar to songs that must be sung on certain programs on Earth, there are no special requirements; they have simply been passed down through generations and have gradually become considered essential traditional items.

Leo was struggling terribly because the ground was hard and rocky, and she could only dig out a little bit of soil with each stroke. The other students, and even a few female Homo sapiens, looked at Leo with pity, but they could not come forward to help.

Planting your Life-Bound Tree requires the help of others; you must do it yourself.

Finally, Leo finished digging the pit, and he heard three familiar punches on his earlobe. Leo smiled and picked up his Life-Bound Tree and planted it inside.

He poured his own blood into the water, and under the watchful eyes of all his classmates, he sang a hymn to life in his less-than-perfect voice.

The moment he finished singing, Leo felt an extremely thin thread appear from the void and shoot towards his body.

Leo instinctively wanted to hide because he sensed a threat within the silken thread.

Trusting Yaoyao, Leo didn't move, letting the silk thread pierce through his body and shoot into its interior.

Leo closed his eyes, seemingly enjoying the wonderful moment of his Life-Bound Tree growing to maturity, but in reality, he was introspecting.

In his sea of consciousness, he saw a tree branch reaching into the ocean from the void, as if trying to suck the seawater of his consciousness away.

As a result, whether it was because his own sea of consciousness was too heavy or the power of this branch was too weak, not a single drop of seawater was absorbed, and the branch remained in Leo's sea of consciousness.

" Lucas's Life-Bound Tree has been planted. Students, you have graduated. Starting tomorrow, you can begin your careers, and your future lives will be in your own hands."

"Our students, keep up the good work!"

Thank you, teacher.

Graduation season always brings a strange sense of excitement, because students escape their past lives and can pursue a more exciting, freer, and more desirable future.

Leo smiled, just like other Homo sapiens.

Two weeks later, Leo was successfully admitted to the hospital thanks to her extremely solid basic skills.

He did odd jobs with the other doctors, but he had access to some medical records—data that wasn't recorded in books and was destroyed every so often.

During a break from his odd jobs, Leo went through all the hospital's data.

Two years later, a major medical accident occurred at the hospital. It was Leo who saved the hospital from this serious mistake with his solid basic skills, which were unmatched by any other doctor.

Leo was therefore promoted to a full-fledged doctor, making him eligible to work in the operating room.

Three years later, due to his outstanding performance and the joint recommendation of all his colleagues at the hospital, Leo Leo his first surgery.

The surgery was a great success. According to the most experienced doctor in the hospital, Leo only lacked experience slightly, but in other aspects he was no less skilled than any other doctor.

From then on, Leo performed one surgery after another, and he became the most renowned doctor in the hospital.

Good morning, Dr. Lucas.

Good morning to you too.

Good morning, Dr. Lucas.

Good morning to you too.

Leo did not change his attitude towards others despite his sudden change in status. He was always the most approachable and a kind-hearted person that everyone liked.

She worked hard without complaint and never complained about having too much work. She even once set a record of working for three consecutive days without rest in order to help her colleagues.

Some doctors have been privately saying that as long as Lucas doesn't make any major mistakes, he will definitely become the hospital director in the future.

What they didn't know was that beneath Leo's facade of being a kind-hearted person, Leo brain kept a record of information about every patient he handled.

This data contains a wealth of information about body structure and the functions of various bodily systems.

If a wizard could see the records in his mind, he would recognize that these are the most basic experimental data modules on a wizard's lab table.

"I've saved enough money over the years; it's time to buy a car."

As a high-income earner, Lucas saved enough money to buy a car with his substantial monthly salary.

Amidst the envious glances of his colleagues, Leo bought a car that could levitate ten meters high.

This car is very expensive, even more expensive than a house.

Many people advised Lucas to buy a house first, since high-income earners like him receive subsidies for buying a house, but not for buying a car.

With a house, he'd have countless girlfriends to choose from, and he could easily settle down and have children.

Unfortunately, Lucas never showed any interest in settling down. On the contrary, everyone knew that he wanted to buy a car. He expressed his dream on his very first day of work.

So when he drove to work, although many people felt sorry for him, no one was surprised.

It's unclear whether Lucas channeled all his talents into his medical career, which led to the expensive hovercar breaking down after only three days.

It was sent for repair, but it broke down again a few days after it was fixed.

Many of Lucas's colleagues felt sorry for him; the car had almost wiped out his entire salary, and Lucas plans to buy a house would have to be postponed again.

Even though the car breaks down every few days, to others, Lucas treats it like his beloved, relentlessly trying to fix it.

And you must be present for every repair.

Although the mechanics were very crude, or even non-skilled, simply placing the car on a repair bench and then ignoring it, Lucas insisted on watching with his own eyes, as if afraid someone would replace his car.

To other Homo sapiens, Lucas, who spends his days either in the hospital or the training factory, is actually pondering this car.

From the very beginning of his arrival in the Homo Sapiens World, Leo had been curious about their energy problems.

Before Leo could even begin his research, the subsequent war broke out. When Leo was reincarnated as a Homo sapiens, he dared not reveal his special characteristics and followed the normal life trajectory of a Homo sapiens. Finally, he earned enough money to buy a car and got his hands on the car he had been longing for.

Leo, disguised as a Homo sapiens, had three main tasks: first, to find records about that tree; second, to study their energy problems; and third, to study the variation of Homo sapiens.

During my student days, I searched through countless books but couldn't find any record of that tree, so my first task was a failure.

Becoming a doctor and using these Homo sapiens as experimental subjects—the third task was completed quite well.

The current research focuses on their energy issues, but no information can be found in books. We can only explore these issues bit by bit, without being questioned by others, through physical evidence.

Following the example of other Homo sapiens, without understanding mechanical principles, they would cause minor problems with the vehicle every day, hoping to discover what they wanted through repairs.

It turns out these mechanics didn't know anything; all they knew was to push the broken car onto the repair platform, and it would automatically be fixed.

As for why it was repaired, they didn't know; in fact, they didn't need to think about it. The mental effort involved in thinking and researching was simply canceled out.

Leo understood that the tree was too lazy to create anything too detailed, so it used vague settings to allow these Homo sapiens to selectively forget.

The fact that this world only develops arts and literature, but not natural sciences, is all controlled by that tree.

He might be lazy, or he might not understand, or more likely he might be afraid that if he opened the door to science to these Homo sapiens, they might do something that could jeopardize his achievements.

The development of the entire Homo Sapiens World is like a poorly made online game, full of irrationality, and these Homo sapiens, acting as NPCs, are completely unaware of it.

At this point, Leo realized that unless he personally disassembled the vehicle, he would have no chance of understanding its structure and basic principles; no one in the entire Homo Sapiens World understood this.

Leo cannot dismantle or understand this; he has completely immersed himself in the mindset of a Homo sapiens, and must learn to behave like a normal Homo sapiens, and cannot be interested in subjects that do not exist in this world.

He is the most typical Homo sapiens!
