Chapter 2916

But if it becomes a hereditary gene...

Don't tell me I have to jerk off against a tree?

Holy shit...

Zhao Chi looked at the female soldiers on duty nearby, and felt that doing this... was fucking weird.

It really was strange.

And very awkward.

Gu Qing saw Zhao Chi's concern.

She said gently, "It's alright, my lord. I can help you."

After saying that, she rubbed her soft palms together, making them even warmer.

Zhao Chi was still frowning.

With Gu Qing's help... it was indeed much better than doing it himself.

But the problem was it was still weird.

He looked around again. Fuyao still hadn't appeared.

If there was really no other way, then he'd just have to do it this way.

Qi Yue said softly, "Or let me do it. I'll hold it in my mouth and spit it onto the tree roots. After all, this is a great tree—it can even absorb nutrients from the soil. Fuyao shouldn't mind me spitting it out from my mouth, right?"

"This way... works too."

If there was no other option, then Qi Yue would have to do it.

At least it was better than jerking off under the tree, right?

"Then I'll do it."

Qi Yue said this as she approached, her hands reaching for Zhao Chi's waistband.

Zhao Chi said, "Wait a moment. Let me check Fuyao's status and see if there's any other information."

"Mm, okay." Qi Yue stopped.

Zhao Chi immediately entered the Eternal Tree's page.

【Name】Eternal Tree Sapling (Mature)

【Age】21,591 years

【Form】Heterogeneous Accelerated Growth Period

【Status】Healthy

【Effect】Mother Tree's Blessing (Heterogeneous Accelerated Growth Version): Plant growth speed +50% in all territories, yield +50%, daily new Taoyuan Tribe population +50%

【Special】Pilgrim's Heart (Heterogeneous Accelerated Growth Version): All plant-type beings in territories gain obedience, Taoyuan Tribe gain obedience. Base obedience +5, obedience growth speed +500%

Setting everything else aside for now.

This bonus...

Is pretty strong.

The current Eternal Tree is a mature sapling in the accelerated growth period, corresponding to adolescence. That checks out.

And those two effects really add a lot more.

All-territory plant growth speed and yield both increase by 50%, equivalent to using half-effect Golden Juice Fertilizer and Golden Brick Fertilizer across all territories.

It's worthy of being called Mother Tree's Blessing.

This effect is very strong.

After all, this is the fucking Eternal Tree—the sacred tree among plants.

Even if Zhao Chi's tree isn't the original, but a new one, it's still an Eternal Tree!

Strong is right!

But the strongest part is still that last half-sentence—the daily new Taoyuan Tribe population gets an extra +50%.

Meaning the daily new population goes from 10 to 15.

Combined with the refugees talisman, that's 30 people per territory per day.

Quite a lot.

Even if Zhao Chi did nothing, just relying on the new female soldiers arriving at his territories each day, his combat power would increase considerably.

He was really suited for low-key development—just letting time pass would let him surpass the vast majority of lords.

But the situation was different now; he had no choice but to be a bit high-profile.

The Pilgrim's Heart effect had also increased together.

Both the Taoyuan Tribe and plant-type beings had at least 5 points of initial obedience, and the growth speed was extremely fast.

This was only natural.

After all, this was the Sacred Tree.

This was the faith of plant-type beings, the god in their hearts—obedience had to be high.

The same went for the Taoyuan Tribe.

He didn't know how much these two effects would increase once it reached adulthood.

And perhaps there might be new other effects?

After all, once it reached adulthood, it could at least give birth to life.

It definitely wasn't Fuyao giving birth to Zhao Chi's child, but rather the Eternal Tree itself being able to create life.

However... looking at Fuyao's appearance, it seemed she could also give birth.

But if she gave birth... she wouldn't give birth to a little tree, would she?

He didn't know.
