Teacher, I haven't received your text message for several days. Are you very busy recently? "
Lu Ping'an called him "teacher", but he was facing a huge pine tree.
Then, a mechanical synthesized sound came out from the speaker next to it.
"... I was so busy that I sent several more demonic plants from the outside world, and they were all picky as hell. I managed to feed only half of them. But they said they did a good job and sent another batch. Oh, you actually asked me to do school co-operation. I have so much free time, and there are so many samples that I don’t need to keep an eye on myself. It immediately got out of control..."
As soon as he mentioned work, Professor Wen talked endlessly.
Lu Ping'an was also used to this academic elder. Whenever he mentioned magic plants, he acted impulsively like a child.
This is an inner demiplane of the Ancient City University, a super botanical garden covering an area of several square kilometers.
Strolling among them, there are fantastic flowers being weaved in circles, vines twisting around the tower, and countless exotic flowers and fruits.
If you look down from above, you can see dozens of small and medium-sized test areas divided by main roads. Each area has a different environment and terrain, and the types of plants planted are also different.
Walking on the road is relatively safe, and you can say hello and chat with the passing staff and green elves.
Of course, if you have a good relationship with the owner here, you can chat with him, him, and him along the way... His parasites are everywhere along the way.
"...It seems that your first ceremony is progressing well. I can feel your affinity..."
Along the way, when Lu Pingping goes there, the mechanical synthesized sound there will automatically sound.
And this was not a communicator, but Professor Wen spoke directly through his "clone".
Those mechanical broadcasters only convert the "nerve vibrations of plants" into corresponding synthetic sounds. The entire underground of the botanical garden is his roots, and all the plants are connected to him.
Although at this stage, it is only the most basic "understanding of the natural conditions such as terminal water, soil, temperature, etc." and "linking with magic plants to understand their physiological status," he does, in essence, control countless lives at the same time with one individual. .
This is proper multi-threading processing.
Lu Ping'an found his true form in Test Area No. 7. He was walking up and down around some "potted plants" in glass cabinets.
That was the treasure he had just acquired, the exotic magic plant that he had been bragging about for a long time... Maybe the reform was also an opportunity for him. He even said that if it weren't for his age, he would go out in person. have a look.
Unlike regular researchers in white coats, he was naked from the waist up, and countless wooden tentacles sprouted from his back. Some were connected in mid-air, some were inserted into the earth, and some were connected to other magic plants.
His brown complexion resembles the wrinkled bark of an ancient banyan tree. His hands are busy, but the tentacles behind his back are also waving with all their strength.
"...From every angle, he doesn't look very human..."
Lu Ping'an smiled. Perhaps this was the result of Professor Wen's failure to sell the parasitic tree no matter how much he tried to sell it... Even if a student accidentally agreed and saw the "grand occasion" when he was working , all have to consider whether they still want to be an individual.
But Lu Ping'an also knew that these were only a small part of Professor Wen's parasitic tree.
The real local area of his symbiotic "reticular banyan tree" is actually underground. It is a super underground network composed of countless tentacles, which assumes the role of sensing and touching. What Professor Wen has now is actually just some temporary derivative plug-ins... An external excuse for similar split prosthetics.
Only when he truly sits on the wooden chair in the middle of the laboratory and completely connects with the "banyan tree" can he be a complete parasitic tree and be able to turn the entire botanical garden into his body.
How strong is it? I don't know, because this is not about fighting at all, and Professor Wen won't find a fight for nothing.
However, other senior brothers and sisters revealed that those who caused trouble here did not go back. There used to be a fifth-level person who came here to "borrow" things, but he disappeared directly. After a few days, only the mummy was found.
The position, or your own "forest" or "garden", is the real way of playing for a gardener.
"...Show me your arms..."
At the teacher's request, Lu Pingan opened his sleeves and stretched out his arms with faint green cortex.
After seeing it, Professor Wen even touched it. Feeling the subtle touch, he nodded subconsciously.
Lu Ping'an was not playing around, he really planned to take this bumpy route... He immediately became a little more enthusiastic. After all, it was rare to meet a disciple who was so serious about "study" and "truth".
"Many people are biased against us, but as a researcher, how can we gain something without effort? How can we always have the arrogance of intelligent creatures and clearly see the strange and natural life structure of demonized plants? How can we truly step into that world?" The natural heaven that belongs to the spirit...can you hear it now?"
Suddenly, Professor Wen asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
"...Okay, quite...annoying."
He asked endlessly, but Lu Pingan knew what he was talking about.
[Spiritual Veins of the Forest (Brass Middle): The breath of nature flows in your blood. In the senses of other plants, you are no longer a simple alien, but one of them. 】
These are the three basic abilities of the subordinates after completing the first self-curse and obtaining "Heart of the Ancient Tree".
Looks useful? Lu Ping'an almost lost sleep because of this.
"When I used the life sensing ability before, I vaguely felt their greed and noise, but I didn't expect that they would be so hostile..."
Yes, hostility. When Lu Ping'an became the "similar" of the magic plants in a sense, what he got was not smooth communication, but subconscious defense, hostility, and even direct attacks from other magic plants.
"...Haha, it's all the same. You are already quite powerful as an independent individual. But when a tiger enters the territory of another lion, they are worried that you will seize their map and absorb their survival resources. ....."
After completing the self-curse, Lu Pingan realized that the magic plant was even more aggressive and vigilant than many carnivorous animals.
They can express friendliness to other "animals" and can even move and live around them regardless of them. However, if a "magic plant" appears nearby, they will immediately attack.
Lu Pingan rubbed his brows, feeling a little headache. His own magic plants were fine. After all, he was their creator, and Lu Pingan still had Lu Pingan's vitality in his body.
But wild magic plants, as well as those that are not very familiar, have various warnings and aggressive behaviors, which are indeed very annoying.
"...Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Becoming a gardener only to be hated by the demonic plant."
"Haha, that's because you haven't finished your job yet. The Parasitic Tree has a professional ability to solve this problem... If you want to be more open, other gardeners are not qualified to be hated by the magic plant. As we all know, they are The "outsider" of Mo Zhi. Hate and disgust are also feelings. At least they will remember you and have a chance to really have a heart-to-heart relationship with them. And when you complete the advancement, they will like you from the beginning. "
Countless tentacles spread out behind Professor Wen's back, constantly communicating with the magic plants around him, and the pleasant emotions they fed back were the best evidence.
"Have other abilities awakened?"
"Yes, but it's weak, very weak."
As he spoke, Lu Pingan slashed his finger with a knife, and blood oozed out.
But if he left it alone, the wound closed on its own and healed quickly. The whole process took a full two minutes... Obviously, this had no practical value.
"Normally, the self-curse ritual is just a seed. As long as it germinates normally, it will grow into a giant tree that can support the sky sooner or later."
Seeing that Lu Pingan had obtained another core ability of the parasitic tree, Professor Wen smiled with satisfaction.
[Bark (brass center): Your skin and subcutaneous cells have become "vegetable" to a certain extent, have a weak degree of toughness, and have a certain degree of regeneration ability (absorbing water and nutrients can accelerate the regeneration rate), A certain degree of "photosynthesis" is the ability to absorb heat and nutrients. 】
This ability is currently meaningless, but it is obviously the core ability of Parasitic Tree, and it is also a potential stock with a very high growth ceiling.
The subordinates of Heart of the Ancient Tree have three basic abilities. Professor Wen did not ask about the last ability. He knew that there was no possibility of awakening at this stage... Lu Ping'an's system panel had already given a prompt.
[Plant genes (gestating): Your physical cell division ability will exceed the limit of normal animals, and your single cells will begin to record your complete regeneration genes, just like a broken branch can grow into a towering tree. As long as your nutrition keeps up, you won't have any real health problems. 】
It is said that this ability can only be substantially awakened after becoming a true parasitic tree.
Of course, this is not true immortality, which cannot be achieved by an ordinary third-level person.
But if you are missing an arm or an internal organ, if you don't die on the spot, you can slowly regenerate... According to Professor Wen, if your head explodes at this stage, you will still die.
The three basic abilities have transformed the cortex (flesh and bones), the interior (genes), and the blood (breath) respectively. They seem to be three abilities, but in fact they are all processes of complete "vegetation" and are the embodiment of the "Heart of the Ancient Tree". Present.
But just after completing the first of the three major curses, Lu Ping'an is very satisfied... It's hard to say whether it is strong or not, but two of the three basic changes are points of regeneration and defense, and the meat is real meat. .
"Lu Ping'an, you want me to help you find the type of magic plant you're paying attention to. It's in stock now. Do you want to trade?"
This time Lu Ping'an came here specifically, but not just to show Professor Wen the progress.
"Of course, besides asking you some questions, that's why I'm here. With them, I'll have hope for my second scene... Teacher, how about you give me some advice?"
