Chapter 4

The free ones are basically Common quality, and occasionally one can see Elite quality.

If you want better ones, you can only do tasks and clear levels.

Zhao Xing's luck was average; the whole bag of seeds was all Common quality.

But it doesn't matter; he now has talent and the Time God Tree.

Common quality is actually the easiest to mature, to fill the strength of his Plant-type Lord.

"Adjust time flow, accelerate one hundred times!"

Zhao Xing silently recited in his heart.

"Hum~"

As the two golden sapling leaves of the Time God Tree trembled gently, the mist around the internal world rolled crazily.

Under the shroud of golden light, the Sword Bamboo, Long Vine, Iron Tree, and mushrooms all began to grow crazily.

The maturity periods of the four types of plant-based life forms are all different.

The Long Vine seedling has the shortest maturity time and is a must-have for Plant-type Lords.

In just a short while, it had already entered the growth phase.

However, its power also increases with age.

The Hard Iron Tree has the longest growth time, basically starting at 10 years. Now, although it has obtained a hundred-fold acceleration, it will still take a month or so to fully mature.

The Sword Bamboo seedling only sprouted a green bud.

It digs deep into the ground, continuously accumulating energy.

Compared to other plant life, the Sword Bamboo's growth phase is long in the beginning and short in the end.

It has no movement in the early stage, but when it matures, it only takes one night.

The fastest growing one is this Color-Changing Mushroom.

"Only half an hour has passed in the outside world, and this mushroom has already matured and started self-reproduction?"

"After having the Time God Tree, this reproduction speed is really fast."

Zhao Xing was very satisfied.

The Color-Changing Mushroom is a specialty of the Primordial Realm.

At this time, it had fully matured, and Zhao Xing, as the Lord, could naturally check its attributes.

So he focused his gaze on it.

[Name: Color-Changing Mushroom]

[Quality: Common]

[Status: Maturity stage.]

[Level: 30]

[Effect: A mushroom that knows how to change color and camouflage, can quickly blend into the surrounding environment, and carries slight toxicity. Eating it can increase Lord Power slightly.]

Plant-based life forms take longer to mature, but their energy levels are often higher than other life forms.

The effect of the Color-Changing Mushroom is auxiliary in nature.

Nowadays, powerful Plant-type Lords in the Red Star Empire generally lean towards auxiliary roles.

Weak Plant-type Lords are often responsible for cultivating and transporting resources for friendly forces, such as providing rations for Exotic Beast Lords on the front lines, etc.

Or making Martial Dao Lords become more resilient.

Powerful Plant-type Lords have even greater capabilities!

On the interstellar battlefield, if one wants to build a temporary territory but the environment is harsh,

a Plant-type Lord can transform a barren planet!

In a very short time, they can build a territory ecosystem that can exist for a long time!

Some territories can even exist for tens of thousands of years!

However, Zhao Xing doesn't need to become an auxiliary for the time being; he can't pass the graduation assessment without some combat power.

"Spirit-Imbuing Mutation, activate!" Zhao Xing looked at one of the mushrooms and his mind stirred.

[You are performing Spirit-Imbuing Mutation on the Color-Changing Mushroom!]

[All attributes contained in this plant life are: Color-changing 78%, Amplification 10%, Poisoning 8%, Explosion 4%.]

[Please select the effect of the Color-Changing Mushroom; you can choose to amplify one of the effects to make it the primary attribute, and there is a chance to obtain a level increase!]

[You can also imbue additional effects, but you cannot increase the level, and there is even a chance of causing the level of this plant life form to decrease.] ===== CHAPTER 7 =====

Zhao Xing looked at the attributes of this mushroom and immediately began to think.

The Color-Changing Mushroom has four attributes: [Color-changing], [Poisoning], [Amplification], and [Explosion].

It's just that their proportions are different, and the main effect is still color-changing.

Among them, the effect of the explosion attribute is negligible.

It can't even be called an explosion; it's just like the fruits of peaches, watermelons, etc., that one saw in the past life, which would split open when fully ripe.

It is just a normal manifestation of a plant life form bursting open after it is fully ripe.

"Spirit-Imbuing can allow me to arbitrarily amplify the effect of one of the attributes; Mutation is to imbue a new attribute."

"I need this plant life form to have some combat effects."

"Then, let's transform it like this..."

An idea formed in Zhao Xing's mind.

"Increase the Poisoning attribute!"

"Increase the Explosion attribute!"

Zhao Xing's mind stirred, and he felt that the mushroom in front of him instantly established a trace of connection with his mental power.

Just like the talent of an Exotic Beast Lord would also have an impact on exotic beasts.

Subsequently, the structure of the entire mushroom became transparent in his eyes.

Earth-shaking changes occurred internally.

A brand new mushroom species was born!

At the same time, Zhao Xing also received a prompt.

[You have performed Spirit-Imbuing on the Color-Changing Mushroom; the attributes have changed!]

[Color-Changing Mushroom (Mutant)]

[Quality: Elite]

[Status: Maturity stage.]

[Level: 40]

[Attribute 1: Burst, entering the sensing reaction range of the Color-Changing Mushroom will cause it to automatically explode, causing splash damage to enemies.]

[Attribute 2: Poisoning, the Color-Changing Mushroom releases a unique fragrance, emitting paralyzing toxins to enemies within a certain range.]

[Attribute 3: Invisibility, the Color-Changing Mushroom can blend into the surrounding environment and is not easily detected.]

[60% Poisoning, 30% Explosion, 10% Invisibility. (Proportion of ability attributes of plant life forms.)]

[Evaluation: A mutated mushroom, it seems to have produced some strange attributes!]

"Eh, it reached Elite level!" Zhao Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Because he only performed Spirit-Imbuing on the original attributes of the Color-Changing Mushroom and did not perform [Mutation].

Therefore, the quality of the Color-Changing Mushroom increased, and the level increased accordingly.

As a mature body, the energy level of the mutated mushroom reached level 40.

After removing the amplification effect, the attributes also underwent major changes!

Invisibility, Poisoning!

As a Lord, Zhao Xing can also actively control its explosion!

If not controlled, it will automatically perform range-sensing explosions!

"A level 40 mutated mushroom, the toxins brought by Elite quality should be able to poison some Primary Lords, right?"

Zhao Xing wanted to try it immediately, but now was not the time.

There was only one mutated mushroom, and he had to use this one as a mother body for reproduction.

A single mushroom, once planted, cannot move, and the threat is not very great.

But a pile of mushroom clusters, that lethality would be quite considerable. ===== CHAPTER 8 =====
