Due to the consumption of magic power for gene extraction, Bai Yi’s magic power didn’t recover to 1000 until the evening.
By fusing Combustible Conversion into the small potato, Bai Yi eventually came up with what she called Potato Mine Type II.
[Potato Mine Type II: Can grow to full size within 3 days after planting, begins to absorb magic power and convert it into a special substance stored in some root stalks. Once storage is complete, the plant starts to spread outward, growing new plants]
[Self-Destruction: Explodes when stimulated, causing 50 points of explosion damage to each target within 1 meter, damage can stack]
The panel’s description was still somewhat lacking, but this thing…
*It was tricky to decide whether to test it or not.*
*Even though they were just used as labor, Bai Yi couldn’t bear to use it to blow up her own skeletons.*
But with monsters refreshing tomorrow, there was no rush.
Once she marked the refresh point, she could set up a minefield near the territory.
However, it still lacked two genes before it could be truly usable.
Bai Yi thought about the upgrade plan for the giant banyan earlier and wondered, since the giant banyan could possess some wisdom, could other plants do the same?
Besides the slow and steady way of enhancing ranks, were there any more direct methods?
Bai Yi quickly thought of a target—the Swarm Consciousness.
If Swarm Consciousness could be added to plants, would it be possible to forcibly grant them consciousness, thereby, in some sense, granting wisdom?
Although she had no magic power to test the effect, Bai Yi could still estimate the compatibility and effect by testing the magic power consumption for fusion.
Over these days, Bai Yi had developed some understanding of her superpower.
The magic power consumed for fusion not only related to compatibility but also a hidden gene strength.
If the gene itself was powerful in some aspect, it required more magic power.
Bai Yi currently speculated that it exhibited strength, but more fusions were needed to summarize patterns.
However, Bai Yi had already roughly figured out the Swarm Consciousness gene entry.
When fused into the giant banyan or other mutated banyan trees in the territory, it only required 600 points of magic power, but putting it in the field’s rice.
Whether it was the later Blood Flesh Rice or the original pure Endless Rice, the required magic power rose to 3000.
And when put on potatoes, the magic power consumption dropped to 1500 points.
Bai Yi even had the insect swarm bring the Fungus Umbrella back to test it.
The final conclusion:
It seemed the characteristic of Potato roots being connected showed a synergy with Swarm Consciousness, and the giant banyan’s “Same Root” was an enhanced version of this trait.
This naturally interlinked ability matched the characteristics of Swarm Consciousness imperceptibly, greatly reducing consumption.
Even 1500 points was too much for Bai Yi at the moment.
So she decided to compromise by fusing Same Root into the Potato first, then adding Swarm Consciousness.
The former required only 150 points of magic power to fuse into the Potato.
Bai Yi calculated that if everything went smoothly, she could see the temporary full version of the Potato Mine tonight.
“Once the Potato Mine is modified, the giant banyan’s upgrade can begin tomorrow.”
*Bai Yi was envisioning in her heart, recalling the final plan she decided on today.*
Aside from the ever-classic Infinite Multiplication, there was also the Swarm Consciousness that granted wisdom.
Both of these genes cost 600 points of magic power value, along with the Heavy Fat needing 500 points of magic power value, serving as the first stage.
Infinite Multiplication granted growth and self-healing speed, and Heavy Fat could enhance the fruit and even mutate with Activation to strengthen the giant banyan’s activity ability.
Bai Yi estimated that after the first stage, the giant banyan should reach the 2nd Rank Gold level.
In the second stage, Bai Yi planned to fuse digestion series genes, along with Autonomous Growth and Adaptability, which should suffice.
As for genes like Poison Blood and neurotoxin, Bai Yi didn’t plan to add them.
After all, the giant banyan’s tree fruit was a stable magic limit source, and with the current level stuck, to increase magic power, she’d have to slowly accumulate from the giant banyan’s tree fruit.
If the fusion ended up with the tree fruit having poison, she’d suffer a great loss.
To enhance attack capabilities, she’d have to specifically look for plants leaning towards attack, trying to add genes like thorns.
Of course, the best choice would be to find a Tree-man, read the genes and completely activate the giant banyan.
Since even goblins and Beastmen had appeared, Tree-men should also exist.
However, Bai Yi didn’t think they would appear in this week’s challenge.
The challenge monsters relied on numbers rather than elite units like Tree-men.
At least…
*Bai Yi couldn’t imagine what a swarm of Tree-men charging would look like…*
*Tree-men, ideally, should be amiable, slow in everything, helping transport heavy objects and praising the beauty of life. Always going out for fights? What was the point in that?*
After dinner, she continued to observe the screen in the channel for a while. The name of Second Young Master Su wasn’t mentioned anymore; instead, she occasionally saw “Fan Mao” brought up.
Bai Yi fulfilled her promise by listing 200 units of blood flesh.
However, she didn’t set a specific price, opting instead to purchase various odds and ends on the public screen.
To avoid revealing her true needs, the purchase range was broad, from machine parts to small furniture and fresh food and vegetables, nothing was refused.
And these things were common wastes for the lords near urban and town ruins.
After some commotion, she once again harvested the admiration of a group of low-level lords.
For them, obtaining blood flesh was extremely difficult.
As of now, Barracks blueprints were no longer rare, but consumable blood flesh was hard to acquire.
Without blood flesh, they couldn’t recruit powerful soldiers.
Without powerful soldiers, it was hard to hunt mutant creatures, making it difficult to acquire more blood flesh and better resources.
It was a deadlock.
And Bai Yi’s blood flesh could very well be their hope for a breakthrough!
As for after they recruited soldiers with the blood flesh but still lost?
That wouldn’t be her concern.
After exiting the channel, her magic power had almost fully recovered.
Taking out the potatoes she uploaded during the day from the panel’s market, Bai Yi began gene fusion.
[Current gene matches well with the target, gene fusion requires the consumption of 150 points of Magic Power Value, proceed with fusion?]
[Current gene matches well with the target, gene fusion requires the consumption of 500 points of Magic Power Value, proceed with fusion?]
[Gene fusion complete, congratulations on creating a new species: unnamed (First-tier/Gold)]
The fusion was very successful; the fusion of Same Root with Potato Mines greatly reduced the Swarm Consciousness consumption and even possessed higher adaptability than the giant banyan.
After the Swarm Consciousness fusion was completed, the Potato had its own unit panel.
But Bai Yi couldn’t see anything on it right now.
—It was ultimately just a potato.
*Much like a human to a fertilized egg, results would have to wait until tomorrow.*
As for now…
To avoid harvesting a sprouted potato tomorrow, Bai Yi cautiously re-uploaded the potato.
The potato disappeared from Bai Yi’s hand, replaced by a bowl of black liquid.
Goodnight, little Potato Mine, see you tomorrow.
