It is said that since he started his career, and even now, all he has obtained are "guns" with different powers, but he has almost never obtained the so-called "magazine".
The tragic situation is caused by the increasing energy gap.
One of the important personal reasons why he agreed to Luo Zhiqing's attack on the mother tree was that he was also very keen on the ubiquitous energy-absorbing plant system in the underground world. Be it geothermal heat, water, or supernatural powers, whether he saw it or not
Yes, this plant system that absorbs and transforms energy is what he values most.
With unlimited guns, how can unlimited bullets be good? Of course Miao Pu knows this truth. Thinking about how glorious he was back then, he would go on a rampage, squander energy, and use special powers to replenish consumption, but what about now? Using various calculations, he can save a little.
The thing is, they don't dare to go all out, just like an old man suffering from prostate disease, not to mention frequent urination, urgent urination and incessant urination, and he has to worry about not being able to cope with his many wives.
Things like the Red Devil, the Green Devil, even the Mysterious Spirit, and the Energy Devourer, once their energy storage cannot withstand normal consumption, and suddenly a series of collapses occur, the incident will be serious. The Green Devil, the Red Devil have all run away, and the Devourer will
The capable man was also liberated, Xuan Ling had to starve to death, and he was finished.
Now there is another big energy consumer, and not just one, but a series. So even though he has obtained such an awesome plant element factor, he can't make himself happy.
Sighing helplessly, Miao Pu said leisurely: "Okay, now we at least understand that these plant monsters are just parasites attached to a super huge system."
Luo Zhiqing nodded and said: "The ubiquitous energy-absorbing plants and huge holes are probably part of this super huge system. Wait..." She suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in her mind, and said hurriedly: "What do you mean?
Is there such a possibility? The roots of all the mother trees we see are derived from the study of the strange tree at the core of the ruins. After undergoing transformation, they became plant monsters, but they are all
Incomplete, only those 100,000-year-old strange trees may be the real complete body, and this super huge system is a part of it."
"It's very imaginative and the truth may be like this. But you know, the more I think this may be true, the more I feel shuddering. With so much energy in its hands, its enemies are likely to be crushed to death alive."
Luo Zhiqing added: "Maybe he was trapped to death."
"So, it's best for us to confirm it from a safe distance. Then at least destroy its energy source."
"Now that you have an idea, why are you still frowning?"
"I'm worried that it will be difficult to reveal the truth. When we confirm it, I will be trapped. And if we wreak havoc now..."
“I’m worried about doing useless work and the workload is too heavy.”
"exactly."
Luo Zhiqing smiled and said: "Things are always like this. You need to constantly make choices between dilemmas."
"Okay, no matter what, we must always use these cannon fodder. I hope we will go smoothly next."
Of course, Miao Pu would not choose to use these reptiles to fight. It was really an inefficient choice, and it would be more appropriate for him to do it himself. Although they were more powerful than plant dogs or even cannon fodder monsters, Miao Pu felt that
They are still suitable as beasts of burden, and beasts of burden are indeed needed now to carry the nutrients needed by the mother tree system.
This choice is very unsafe. Unprocessed superpowers are in most cases flammable and explosive. But Miao Pu really has no better way. The place he wants to go is the energy used by plant monsters.
Network vacuum zone.
On the way, Luo Zhiqing said: "As we talked about before, there is always a gap between imagination and reality. Now we seem to have added a lot of burden to ourselves."
"I think it's pretty good. It turns out that they are very suitable as a means of transportation. They are as strong as a cheetah and more stable than a horse. Especially when traveling in such rugged caves, this is really rare."
What Miao Pu said is true, but there are some situations that he did not mention. For example, there are only one type of derived monsters, and there is no command type, so these monsters cannot go out to hunt at all, but can only guard their nests, and their scale is also small. In terms of strength alone, they can
It is said to be the weakest among the known communities.
Of course, otherwise they would not have been captured so easily, and the reason why they established their nests in such a place is not accidental. In general, Miao Pu chose the best target at the right time.
This is the main reason for immediate success.
The journey from Dihe to Frontier Research Institute B is long and winding, and it passes through many high-risk areas where monsters are infested.
Miao Pu and Luo Zhiqing were both ready to fight until dawn, but they soon discovered that with the mother tree as their companion, they did not have to worry about monster attacks, whether they were plant monsters or other types of monsters.
They turned a blind eye to them and even took the initiative to give way.
"No wonder they are scrambling to control the mother tree. It turns out there are such benefits."
Hearing this, Miao Pu glanced at the mother tree which was "losing weight", nodded and said: "Humph, this is indeed unexpected."
The mother tree has two forms: nest and movement, but even for the latter, many areas are still too narrow for it. If you want to pass, the best way is for it to adapt to the environment, not the other way around, otherwise the journey will be huge.
The amount of earthmoving work is simply too much to bear.
After Miao Pu fully understood the structure of the mother tree through Xuanling, he originally planned to give birth to a refined version of the mother tree, but this wish was abandoned after he helped the mother tree give birth to a tree seed fruit.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t do it.
Just for this tree species, Miao Pu spent all his life energy, and it was not enough. He also took the lives of all the mother tree, a series of functional plants and derived monsters that could not leave with the team or had planned to abandon it.
Quite a success.
The final result is that the tree species serves as a new plant element factor, while the mother tree can only rely on itself.
In desperation, Miao Pu could only give a new order to Xuan Ling who controlled the mother tree: "As long as you don't die, you must reduce your measurements no matter what means you use."
In terms of appearance, the mother tree looks somewhat similar to a vine. The roots and branches, that is, its legs and arms, are somewhat numerous, and they are not as flexible and flexible as the tentacle-like limbs of the vine. It can be said that just
In terms of image, the mother tree cannot be compared with the alien mother queen.
Miao Pu has never seen its actual combat capabilities, so it's hard to judge. Based on the information fed back by Xuan Ling, he made a rough estimate that its combat power is higher than that of supernatural monsters. Among them, the madness of energy
and virtual application are the two abilities that add the most points in combat power evaluation.
"After the Yanggu Mine incident, I once felt that I was standing in the ranks of the top awakeners because I barely mastered the energy of the virtual state. How long has it been since then that the virtual state and the mad state have become so worthless?" Miao Pu.
Said with emotion.
Luo Zhiqing said jokingly: "Actually, there is no need to be so jealous. If you compare this place to a copy of a game, it is undoubtedly the most high-end one in the current version. If this description still makes you feel empty, then let's put it another way.
, The organization has invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources in the research of source civilization, and its achievements in some aspects are still not comparable to your personal achievements to this day. Who do you think is more qualified to go crazy?"
Hearing this, Miao Pu chuckled and said, "Thank you for your comfort. I didn't expect you to use a game as a metaphor. Have you ever played that thing?"
"Huh, I've never eaten pork and I've never seen a pig running. Isn't this just for you to understand? Don't you college students spend time there every day?"
"Haha, that's right. It seems that you know the outside world quite well. I didn't expect that."
"..." Luo Zhiqing did not continue. Her life was not something that could be described in just a few words.
I don't know if it's because of Luo Zhiqing's deliberateness, or if the two really get along. Miao Pu occasionally feels that when he and Luo Zhiqing are together, they do feel like old friends for many years. They don't have to think carefully about what they say, and they just start chatting naturally, even if it's a little awkward.
The topic can be quickly ignored without affecting each other's mood and interest in the conversation.
There was no harassment from monsters, so the journey was smooth. However, after entering the honeycomb terrain area, due to the instability of the carrying energy, the speed was greatly reduced. By the time we finally returned to Frontier Research Institute B, it was already the morning of the 6th.
Seeing Miao Pu taking in a plant monster from a nest as his younger brother, Kang Danian and the others were stunned for a while. But they soon fell in love with these guys, because the existence of plant monsters increased their overall combat power.
Great strengthening.
For Kang Danian and others, the biggest problem affecting their combat power is insufficient attack power and poor speed. The former is not easy to improve, but the latter is easier to satisfy. With the gecko monster as a transportation tool, their mobility is greatly enhanced. However,
Experiments have shown that Kang Danian and the others still have trouble using the existing gecko monsters as mounts. Ensuring that they will not be thrown off on the monster's back is secondary. The most important thing is that they do not have the mental sensing ability of the awakened ones.
, unable to communicate with the monster, and the monster's IQ is relatively low, and it is too difficult to control it freely.
Fortunately, Miao Pu had anticipated this early on. It was not that easy to make plant-type monsters usable, so he was not in a hurry to produce any results. Instead, he first let the mother tree turn this lonely fortress-like cutting-edge research institute into a new one.
Become a new nest.
It takes at least 24 hours to complete this step. This is only the most important part, and the key auxiliary plants are grown by seedlings like vines, otherwise it will take at least a week.
Luo Zhiqing suggested taking advantage of this time to go to the core area of the ruins to investigate, but Miao Pu refused because he had consumed too much and needed to recover.
In fact, the real reason for the rejection was that his plant element factor system had undergone new and huge changes. Before stabilizing the system, he had no time to distract himself from doing anything else.
The final result of the system change is that the original tree-like net has become a rugby-shaped net. The previous monster seed element is one top, and the mother tree seed element is the other top. The two form a rugby-shaped related network.
, and each represents two poles, each of which branches out from branches. The other elements he collected are distributed on these branches, like nodes, holding important positions and connecting the previous and the next.
This map is actually a systematic and graphical representation of the characteristics, levels, and functions of various plant elements. It was originally a three-dimensional correlation diagram generated with Miao Pu's will to facilitate him to better understand his abilities.
, so it didn’t take Miao Pu too much time to fully understand it.
Generally speaking, his plant elements are divided into two factions. The signs of distinction are Yang force and Yin force. Yang force plus life energy is what the strange tree series needs. Yin force plus life energy is what the mother tree needs.
The closer the needs of the system are to the extreme, the more obvious the emphasis will be. Like a mother tree seed, if you want to nurture it, you don't need any Yang energy at all. But for the seeds of a strange tree, it's just the opposite.
In the past, when there were only strange tree seeds, this characteristic was not obvious, but now it is particularly clear. This is not just a simple opposition, but represents growth. Just like going to school, the initial stage is moderate, and the advanced stage is average.
It is divided into arts and sciences, and the further classification will be more detailed. The higher the level, the purer it is, that's about it.
This change is naturally gratifying. Although it seems less versatile than before and can be mixed and matched to create many changes, the purpose is clearer and the effect is more powerful, unlike before, where most combinations were meaningless. He originally thought
That's because his system is not perfect enough and there are not enough elements, but now he has a deeper understanding. Many plans are suspected of being similar to positive and negative hedging. The results produced in such a situation are terrible.
Use it to create ghosts.
The mother tree and the strange tree are on the same level, with endless potential, far more than he can swallow in one gulp, so they also appear in the form of buds, which represents his immaturity at this stage. The strange tree was originally a seed, and now it has sprouted.
, which is an intuitive manifestation of improvement.
If the thing closest to the strange tree is the vine-like [Gold-Eating Vine], then the thing closest to the mother tree is another plant element factor [Magic Turnip] obtained by Miao Puxin. This name is purely based on appearance, and it looks similar.
It was borrowed, and a magic word was added for the sake of distinction, also because its category was not sunny and decent enough.
It is precisely because of the magic turnip that Miao Pu has gained new life-related abilities, and is not embarrassed to the point that no specific applications have been added due to the lack of such elemental factors.
These two abilities are derived from the characteristics of the plant monster system that he resurrected. Specifically, they are the individual abilities given by the Demon Turnip. One was named [Demon Tendon] by him, and the other was named [Demon Tendon].
Brain acupuncture].
Magic tendon is a plant that makes tendons. It can greatly improve the strength and speed of the target. The reason why the gecko monster can be as strong as a cheetah and can crawl between cliffs and even on the side walls and top walls. Magic tendon plays a crucial role.
important role.
Brain acupuncture strengthens the perception of mental power. The gecko monster has a bulge on its forehead, which looks like a bulge that has failed to grow horns. In fact, it is the use of brain acupuncture. Its function is like turning an ordinary
Replace your mobile phone with a high-power satellite phone that can receive and transmit signals.
This is also the reason why the mother tree clearly does not have supernatural monsters or hybrid monsters, but can command derivative monsters. On this point, Miao Pu and Luo Zhiqing have always had misunderstandings before, thinking that gecko monsters can only guard the house, and in a very limited way
activities within the area. In fact, their range of activities is larger than the two estimated.
As for the mother tree element, as a programmatic existence like the strange tree element, it does not allow Miao Pu to obtain specific application-level abilities for the time being. It mainly further improves the system and strengthens several existing basic abilities.
For example, fusion:
The fusion of various elements produces plants that are most suitable for current needs. This is a characteristic of Miao Pu's life system ability. This ability is also very telling. Not all elements can be perfectly integrated, and the addition of the mother tree strengthens the fusion.
Compatibility, and also clearly lists which elements are most compatible.
Another example is energy saving:
The improvement of this function makes Miao Pu very happy. Regarding energy saving, no amount of improvement at this stage will make Miao Pu satisfied. The last improvement was due to the establishment of the tree system of the strange tree, and this time it is the rugby ball.
The state system is established. This shows how difficult it is to improve this basic property.
Another example is swallowing:
The strange tree enhances Miao Pu's ability to devour and fuse, which makes it possible for independent vine monsters to appear. Like the dark energy that Miao Pu collected from alienated monsters before, the vine monsters cannot digest it. Now it is possible, and it is large.
repair.
As for derivative shaping, genetic analysis and fusion, half-flesh, half-plant hybrids, etc., those are the advanced abilities of the mother tree, and he cannot master them yet.
He couldn't use it, but the mother tree could, and there were ready-made mother trees here. After some integrated planning, a practical plan for planting and decoration was quickly launched with these abilities.
To put it simply, a plant monster is created in the form of a mobile armor, and then anyone can use it as a filler to become one with the monster, and then control it with brain needles.
During the design process of this plan, Luo Zhiqing also suddenly proposed to use Kangdanian's original armor as a material to be swallowed by the mother tree. What is even more exaggerated is that Zhou Shuai and the others were inspired by Luo Zhiqing and tried to even think of guns and ammunition.
Swallowed by the mother tree.
"Hey, that's enough, think of it as a 3-printer..."
"Try it. If you can't eat it, just spit it out. It doesn't matter, right?"
"I'm sorry, sooner or later you guys will destroy this thing." Although Miao Pu said this, he actually wanted to see the result. Curiosity is a common trait among people.
Facts have proved that the products of the mother tree basically end up with cold weapons. There is a clear watershed here. The technology well known to mankind is embodied as hot weapons on top of cold weapons, while the original civilization is embodied as energy attachment.
Another situation is that, perhaps because the mother tree itself is not complete enough, or it lacks some crucial supporting plants, the products it makes are obviously insufficient in terms of accuracy. Its products depend on the growth process.
Continuous coordination is required to achieve a perfect fit, unlike items such as bearings, which rely on precise specifications.
In fact, this is an intuitive difference between Source Civilization technology and human technology, which is very universal. Of course, this seems to be the case in the mid-to-low-end fields. What is the high-end Source Civilization technology? Humans have not yet been exposed to it. Different paths lead to the same goal.
