<h4>Chapter 569: Magical nts, All Kinds of Weird Mutation Attributes! Trantion</h4>
Territorial development was a profound science.
This science behind it waspletely different from the thinking on urban governance on Earth.
It not only tested one’s ability to control the overall situation but also the rational allocation of resources and a timely follow-up on the details.
It also tested whether one could reasonably maximize every single potential and take every chance to their limits.
Somerger foreign territories were able to bring a lot of materials from their original “dimension” to relieve the pressure in the earlier stages.
Some smaller territories were not as lucky, and the person behind this game’s best effort was to transmigrate these people to participate in this game.
It was somewhat simr to the ancient beliefs of conquering the world.
There was basically only one chance left for everyone in this disaster-stricken environment.
Miss a step and you would fall into the abyss, and it would be impossible for you to make aeback.
One wrong step and you would step into the eternal hell of regret!
He came to this unfamiliar wastnd with nothing until he built what he had in the present.
Su Mo felt fortunate that with every choice he made, either nned or by chance, in the end, the results ended up in the right direction.
…
“Shelter leader, the arrangements have been made! Six hundred miners will begin work immediately! Our efficiency will definitely be leveraged!
Chen Shen delegated the vigers to their mining post and allowed Ai Jianfeng to exin some precautions during the excavation process, then happily came back to report the good news to Su Mo.
As the vige chief who managed more than a thousand people in the entire vige, he also had a lot of insights but was theplete opposite of Su Mo.
Unlike Su Mo who attributed his smooth development to luck, Chen Shen had a rather simpler thought.
When Su Mo was not around, the basin was peaceful, and everyone went out early to work, returningte at night afterpleting tasks.
The vigers seemed to work insanely hard.
However, Chen Shen was well-aware that most of these people were useless. In this doomsday, everyone could work, and everyone could do better than them!
They could keep working for a month, half a year, and even up to a year, but the territory’s strength would still be stagnant.
Simply a gust of wind would be able to blow the territory apart.
However, with Su Mo in their territory…
It only took 3 to 5 days for the territory to seed in their first official foreign diplomacy, the first foreign war, and the firstrge-scalebor of more than 500 people.
Such efficiency was simply two worlds apart!
God decided the path, but people walked the path.
Luck is just the icing on the cake when one reached their limits and tried their very best.
“Well, the faster we mine today, the sooner we can turn on the power tomorrow.
“This is going to be hectic!”
Su Mo stood on the high slope in front of a small room and watched the mine below crowded with people, beginning their mining tasks in full swing!
He repeatedly nodded, pacing back and forth to relieve his excitement.
Compared with the 50-ton energy stone mine reserves, the three or four tons needed now seemed like a drizzle of rain that could be easily mined.
The reality was that it was extremely difficult!
The distribution of energy stones was extremely wide. The mine was 130,000 square meters across and also had a terrifying depth of 334 meters.
With the natural istion of the soil, even with a signal detection device, it could only collect a general response from the source and not the specific location or depth of the ore.
Due to the fragile nature of energy stones, you could not use an excavator to dig them out. You could only use your hands to dig and find them.
It would be impossible to collect enough energy stones by the end of the day without these 300 to 500 people.
Fortunately, the cheers below sounded one after another, indicating that there were good results!
Su Mo sighed and after a cold wind blew at him, he calmed down and quietly returned to the shelter.
Today, he could regard himself as a half-scientific researcher.
However, to be able to maximize the research development in the territory during the winter, they would need the joint effort of the research schrs in the brain box.
He currently had a total of 37,000 survival points.
ording to the calction, it took 6900 survival points to crack a mark. Lu Kuan had developed an energy-gathering ring, which could save the cost of cracking a mark.
After resurrecting Ai Jianqiang, Ouyang Guo, and Yan Xiaqing, who met the qualifications for a mark, he could also give five more people a mark.
Considering that he had to save at least 3,000 as a reserve, as well as upgrade and reconstruct some nts brought back from the ents’ territory, the number would have to be reduced.
‘Let me check how much it costs to transform these nts!’
Su Mo walked to the back of the underground shelter.
He transformed into his ent form and took out the seed storage flower from his grid, then transformed back into his human body.
He dug a small hole and nted the flower, then watered it and waited.
About ten minutester, the storage flower that was nted not long ago began to grow like crazy as if he had used time currency, and it broke through the soil in the blink of an eye.
Su Mo’s curiosity was piqued seeing this nt for the first time.
Before he could properly observe it closely, he was shocked that the storage flower had already grown to half a meter and bloomed into a huge flower in less than a minute.
It didn’t wait for him to study it carefully.
Afterward, the lower part of the flower body withered rapidly, as if all the nutrients inside were drained.
In the blink of an eye, only a piece of debris was left.
The only thing that was left was the flower that was about the size of a human’s head,ying on the ground elegantly. Anyone who saw this would struggle to believe a nt was grown here.
‘The withering and dehydration of the flower kind of looked like a ghost draining a person’s spirit and body in a horror movie.
“If this ability could be given to apanion nt, would that make it capable of draining other creatures?’
Having some evil thoughts, Su Mo shuddered subconsciously after thinking of the terrifying appearance.
Power was neither good nor evil.
It depended on the person wielding power, and their character determined whether power was used for good or evil.
Creating such a killer weapon for the ents, let alone for the basin, would be extremely dangerous and would have to be used cautiously.
‘I could try mutating one and surround them around the territory borders so whoever tried to sneak in would be sucked…
‘Tsk, tsk…’
With this thought in mind, Su Mo leaned down, picked up the flower, and walked toward the shelter.
Su Mo sat opposite Lu Kuan in theboratory on the first floor and grabbed a small table.
He began to disassemble the flower slowly.
The first thing to take apart was the flower petals.
ording to the introduction, this thing could not only be used as an ornamental item to keep it from decaying for half a year, but it was also the best substrate to provide nutrition for some nts.
It would be an excellent nt if not for the fact that it greatly absorbed the fertility of thend during its first growth.
Su Mo carefully broke off the petals.
He counted and found that there were thirteen and a half flower petals, which was a great harvest!
Next, he took apart the storage flower’s stamens.
There were 45 seeds stored in the stamens, which could grow to their previous appearance after only a little cultivation.
Su Mo carefully ced them into a box he had prepared.
He recollected himself and turned his attention to the ck pouch in the center of the flower.
The ents’ territory was full of treasures everywhere.
These things were likely simr to useless garbage bags and disposable chopsticks that were often thrown away like humans.
However, this ck pouch held great knowledge for humans.
It could protect seeds inside, preserve items stored inside for three years, and it was immune to conventional fire, flooding, and heavy impact. The only drawback was its fragility. It would shatter after withstanding physical damage once.
Otherwise, it could be made into an imprable armor to wear over your body, which was even better than a bulletproof vest!
‘This nt has great potential. It would definitely be like a hack in this world’s weapon age if it can be upgraded.
‘It’s a pity that I couldn’t ask what kind of nt produced this sachetst time.
“It really doesn’t matter anyway…’
When Su Mo first received this nt in the ents’ territory, he could only quickly analyze it with the system briefly before quickly putting it into his grid.
Now, he had plenty of time in his own territory.
Su Mo was not in a rush and slowly summoned the green light to start the analysis process.
Along with the ray of light, the properties of the ck pouch could not hide from the analysis either and showed up on the panel in thin air.
[The Excrement of an Ancient Ent (Unique)]
[Description: As a special nt with wisdom, the ancient ents are like most creatures and have the ability to excrete. Depending on thepanion nt and the difference in nutrient intake, the substances excreted by each ent have different effects. Please carefully distinguish them and do not use them recklessly. ]
[Excretor: Purple Flower]
[Special ability:]
Primary Level 3 Defense (Clothing or protection armor woven from specific excrement can temporarily be fireproof and waterproof, and can provide one-time immunity against direct attack from an enemy that is Level 4 and below.)
Preserving (Can be woven into protective bags to prevent the nts stored within them from rotting.)
[Evaluation: Promise me that you won’t transform into an ent to poop!]
‘Urgh…
‘This thing is made from an ent’s excrement?’
From the looks of it, the ck pouch had obvious linings on it and the top intertwined, and it exuded a pleasant vor of nts.
‘Who would have thought that this thing was actually excretion from a nt?
‘Each ent’s excretion even has different abilities?
‘Compared with human excrement, this thing is really iprehensible.’
Before getting closer, Su Mo was able to smell a faint fragrance.
He gently pulled on the small rope above and opened the pouch, making the fragrance a little bit stronger.
“Woah, Su Mo! What’re you doing? What smells this good?”
The fragrance spread throughout the room.
Lu Kuan, who was sitting on the other side, raised his head and looked over curiously.
“It’s a seed. Do you want toe to have a look?”
“Oh? What kind of seeds have such fragrance?”
A scientific researcher was always curious about something new.
Especially because Lu Kuan had lost his senses for decades being trapped in the brain box and finally was resurrected, the nt’s fragrance easily aroused his curiosity.
Lu Kuan immediately put down his work and rushed over.
Su Mo slowly put on a pair of gloves and then picked up the tweezers next to him to disinfect it. Next, he cautiously focused his gaze on the insides of the pouch.
He gently slipped a hand inside it.
A round ck seed was picked out from it and ced on the soft towel that had beenid beside it.
“Ha! Lucky! This is the seed of thend flower!”
Generally speaking, the seeds of thend flower were not much different from ordinary nt seeds. Except for the excessive dark ckness, there was nothing special about it.
Lu Kuan, who sat beside him and had an eye transformation, quickly discovered the unique properties of the seed.
“Why do I see a lotus pod blooming against the sky on the surface of this seed?
“Hahaha! What lotus pod?! This thing is really strong!”
Su Moughed at Lu Kuan’s naive statement and found it funny.
While introducing Lu Kuan to the abilities of thend flower, Su Mo also did not forget to summon the system to analyze the transformednd flower seed’s current properties.
The familiar green light shed, and the attribute panel showed a details results level that was difficult for ordinary people to observe.
[nt Link: Land Flower Seed (Rare)]
[Description: A seed that contains magical energy, after sowing it, you can harvest a magical nt with the ability to change the fertility of thend.]
[Special transformation: nt link (Within the scope of action, thend flower will randomly link to the nt, and thend below the nt will enjoy an additional 15% fertility bonus.)]
[Estimated crop maturity time: Germination period (6 months), growth period (24 months), flowering period (6 months)]
[Attribute’s effect range: 3000㎡ (4.5 mu)]
[Growth necessities: 3000㎡nd fertility> 5]
[Fertility growth rate: Maximum limit per unit (18 months) Based on the basic fertility on the ground, the maximum increase is 40 points.]
[Evaluation: nt me if you’re a brother!]
The strange Earthnguage that appeared on the evaluation of a nt that did not belong to the Earth.
It seemed a little weird at first, but after Su Mo looked at the properties, he nodded in surprise.
“You said that this thing can transform the fertility of thend. Is it really so amazing? What is the principle behind it? Should we cut it open to see what’s inside, if we can...”
Before he could hear about the properties of thend flower, Lu Kuan already could not suppress his eagerness to run tests on it.
After he listened to it, his eyes, which were a little confused, immediately cleared up.
Su Mo could only quickly chase him away.
“Go, go! Go do your experiment!”
“You’re a physics schr, and if Zhuo Junfan finds out about this, he’ll definitely fight with you!”
Su Mo used the tweezers to mp Lu Kuan’s curious fingers. Thetter shrank his neck and hurriedly evacuated from the scene. As long as he did not see it, he would not think about it.
It was not until he watched Lu Kuan sit down that Su Mo looked away and opened up the game panel to analyze.
“The fertility of ordinarynd in the basin is about three to ten, and the fertility of ck soil is higher, about 15.
“I didn’t expect thisnd flower to be able to increase the fertility of a piece ofnd to more than double that of the ck soil. That’s amazing!”
The fertility ofnd would not have such great effect as in the beginning after reaching a certain value.
For ordinary nts, even if the total amount of nutrients increased, the absorption per unit time would have significant changes.
However, it was undeniable that the value ofnd flowers was currently at the forefront!
The thing is…
“What the hell is this nt link? No wonder it was the cheapest seed. The transformed properties are really rubbish!”
15% more fertility.
The property would be fine if the link could be specified to another nt.
However, it was a random selection! What if it links to grass? That would be four years of growth in vain!
There were only three seeds. So it was a waste to upgrade such a useless attribute.
As thoughts flowed through his mind, Su Mo did not hesitate to activate the analysis again and opened the upgrade panel that he had not seen in a while.
[Upgrade Method 1: Fertility flower: Greatly improve the nutrient density and rhizome’s nutrient absorption capacity, doubling the growth and maturity time of the nt. It can be used after only two years, and the properties of the nt are improved slightly. The upgraded fertility flower will have arger effective area and stronger fertility improvement ability. Note: This upgrade method will increase the fertility required for the initial growth of the nt to a certain extent, please choose the upgrade carefully. The upgrade requires survival points (3830). ]
[Upgrade Method 2: Sweet rain flower: Comprehensively transform the nutritional structure and special ability organization inside the nt to generate new abilities. The upgraded nt no longer needs the initial supply ofnd fertility, and the growth time will also be shortened to 1 year. The upper limit of fertility improvement will be limited to 20 points, and at the same time, the fertility improvement area of ??the sweet rain flower will be doubled. Note: Sweet rain flower needs sufficient water supply: 525kg/24h. The upgrade requires survival points (2580).]
[Upgrade Method 3: Randomize the transformation attributes of thend flowers. Eandomization needs survival points (100).]
“Fertility flower!
“Sweet rain flower!
“Random attributes!”
Seeing the three upgrade methods that popped up on the screen, Su Mo could not suppress the joy in his heart.
Although the effect of using survival points to upgrade the tech tree was very poor, it made significant improvements on things like this!
‘But…
‘The transformation of the first two upgrade methods can greatly strengthen thend flower attributes, but the thing I’m most concerned about is not satisfactory enough.
‘I need thend flower to be put to use as soon as possible. I can’t wait for a year!
‘Thest time I entered the time relic, there were a hundred days left in the time currency.
‘Upgrading to the sweet rain flower will not be enough.’
Especially considering that more than one had to be nted within range, Su Mo decisively turned his attention to the third upgrade method.
‘100 points. That’s not a lot.
‘I’ll just randomize it a few times and see what happens!’
As soon as he finished speaking, the game panel received Su Mo’s instructions, and the survival points in the lower corner of the properties panel automatically deducted 100 points A brand new panel opened up!
