National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 14 Is it difficult to cultivate the Moon Stage?
The second day of the college entrance examination, nine o'clock in the morning.

Lin Zhi carefully checked the updated information on his watch.

Test site number: 5864
Existing gardeners at the test site: 5
Total current gardeners in the test site: 187581
Second test content: Spiritual plant cultivation
All candidates who obtain points vouchers will be able to start this exam.

All survivors at each test site are teammates.

Points coupons can be exchanged for virtual spirit seeds, virtual fertilizers, virtual evolution materials, and virtual spiritual energy.

The virtual evolution materials are properly matched, and the success rate is set to 100%

Virtual spiritual plants ignore the cultivation time.

The exchanged virtual items cannot be traded or given away.

However, you can give points coupons to teammates.

All candidates at the same test center will share the virtual spiritual plants they cultivate.

After candidates use their points coupons to redeem virtual materials to cultivate virtual spiritual plants, they will be ranked among the test sites based on the scores of the virtual spiritual plants.

Candidates who will be shortlisted for the third examination will be determined based on the test center rankings.

The number of places is 1.

Once the places are confirmed, the final exam will begin.

After reading the exam content, Lin Zhi couldn't help but look up at Wang Baichuan and the other three.

The score of this virtual spiritual plant is calculated based on the test points.

Therefore, every points voucher must be used effectively, otherwise it will be wasted.

Wang Baichuan and the other three thought of the same thing, and ten pairs of eyes met.

Wang Baichuan said:
"Let's not touch the points yet and see what their purchasing power is."

The five people opened the redemption list in their watches to check.

Virtual Spirit Seed (1)/15 points
Virtual fertilizer (54 times)/1 point
Virtual Psychic Energy (54)/1 point
Evolution Potion (1 portion)/1 point
Evolution materials (5 copies)/1 point
Evolution potions can be used to evolve any spiritual plant, but you need to rely on your knowledge to select and match the evolution materials yourself.

If you don't have enough knowledge, it's best to suffer a loss in exchange for potions. If you are knowledgeable, then one point can be exchanged for 5 sets of evolution materials.

Of course, even though there are 5 evolution materials, it is possible to only produce 4 or 6 evolution potions.

Because the five portions here are the standard quantity, some evolution potions require fewer materials than the standard, and some require more materials than the standard.

If one is knowledgeable, for example, one wants Evolution Potion A, but exchanges it for Evolution Potion Materials B and C, then splits the materials of B and C, and reassembles 3 portions of Evolution Potion Materials A. This is not impossible.

So although it seems that points are exchanged for virtual items, in fact, through the utilization of points and knowledge, a turning point has appeared here that has widened the gap with other candidates.

……

To cultivate a five-star fully enhanced spiritual plant, you need 1 spiritual seed, 54 enhanced fertilizers, 54 enhanced spiritual energies, and 5 evolution materials.

The total score is at least 18 points.

In other words, with 100 points, you can cultivate at most 5 5-star fully enhanced spiritual plants.

"This question is to test our knowledge of cultivating spiritual plants. It's not too difficult. If we can cultivate five five-star spiritual plants, it will be enough to pass the level. Let's discuss the specific content."

Wang Baichuan smiled and prepared to exchange materials for training.

"Wait a minute," Lin Zhi said, "You can't do that."

"Uh, why?" Wang Baichuan looked puzzled.

“The exam introduction mentioned that candidates will be shortlisted for the third exam based on the virtual spiritual plant scores and the ranking of the exam sites.

Then he said that the virtual spiritual plants that were cultivated would be shared by the candidates at the test center.

This shows that the virtual spiritual plant is still useful in the third exam, otherwise the last sentence is nonsense..."

"I understand this. It should be like the exam more than ten years ago. We need to use the shared virtual spiritual plants we cultivated to fight." Wang Baichuan said.

"Yes, so cultivating five-star spiritual plants is not enough. I calculated that we can cultivate two moon-level spiritual plants." Lin Zhi said.

"Moon Stage???!!!"

Wang Baichuan and other three exclaimed.

"Brother, you can actually cultivate moon-level spiritual plants?"

"What, is it difficult?"

Lin Zhi was puzzled. Although Moon-grade spiritual plants were rare and there were few evolution formulas circulating on the market, it should be easy for the children of these ancient families to obtain them, right?

"It's more than difficult. The Moon-level formula in our family will not be passed on to others. It is controlled by the elders. The younger generation will have to rely on the prepared evolution potion to evolve spiritual plants."

Wang Baichuan sighed and said, "Unless they are peerless geniuses, they have the opportunity to learn some semi-public Moon-level formulas."

"So that's how it is. If you trust me, I can cultivate two moon-level spiritual plants." Lin Zhi looked confident.

"Brother, are you serious?" Wang Baichuan and the other three showed surprised expressions on their faces.

If I can really cultivate two Moon-Rank plants, not only will I be ranked high, but I will also have a secure pass in the third exam.

"It couldn't be more true. This is the college entrance examination. I won't joke about my future." Lin Zhi said. "Okay, brother, this time it's up to you. We'll transfer the points to you right now."

Lin Zhi obtained the points and immediately opened his watch, and a piece of virtual source soil appeared on the screen in front of him.

Above the virtual source soil is the redemption store.

Lin Zhi first bought a virtual spirit seed and planted it.

A mechanical voice suddenly rang in my mind.

[The host has been detected planting virtual spirit seeds. Please choose to grow any of the following species of spirit plants. 】

[Choice 1: Leave it to fate and let nature take its course.]

[Choice 2: Explosive Mushroom (The Explosive Mushroom explodes, causing terrible damage to the enemy, and destroying everything around it.)]

[Choice 3: Caiwen (Caiwen has flexible movement and jumping abilities, and his fists contain tremendous power. Although his body is fragile, he has martial arts fighting instincts.)]

"The explosive mushroom is great and can be used as a trump card. But it is disposable. Once used, it is gone and needs to be cultivated again."

Lin Zhi chose Caiwen, and immediately, a cabbage grew out of the virtual source soil on his watch.

[It is detected that the host's mark can be exchanged for virtual evolution materials. The manual currently provides 7 star-level evolutions + 3 moon-level evolutions. The host can choose 5+1 of them. ]

【Star Level】

[Option 1: Speed ​​​​Up]

[Option 2: Bounce Boost]

[Option 3: Attack Boost]

[Choice 4: Body expansion]

[Choice 5: Three Heads and Six Arms]

[Option 6: Alloy Gloves]

[Choice 7: Nothingness]

【Moon Stage】

[Choice 8: King Fist]

[Choice Nine: Multiple Fist Shadows]

[Choice 10: Grandmaster of Boxing]

In the end, Lin Zhi chose increased bounce, increased attack, body expansion, void state, alloy gloves, and King-fist.

After exchanging all virtual items according to the recipes in the manual, Lin Zhi cultivated Cai Wen to the Moon Stage and strengthened his body to the limit.

What is the Moon Stage?

After five evolutions, it becomes a five-star spiritual plant.

Then the initial state and the five evolved abilities can be enhanced nine times, for a total of 54 enhancements.

When the spiritual plant is fully strengthened to five stars, if the source soil becomes blue soil, it can undergo the sixth evolution.

During this evolution, the star above the spiritual plant's head will disappear and be replaced by a red moon.

The evolutionary materials, nutrients, and spiritual energy required for strengthening at the Moon Stage are a hundred times that of the Star Stage.

Lin Zhi evolved and strengthened Caiwen to the five-star limit, spending 49 points. He bought another virtual spirit seed, and the voice of the manual suddenly rang in his mind again.

[The host has been detected planting virtual spirit seeds. Please choose to grow any of the following species of spirit plants. 】

[Choice 1: Leave it to fate and let nature take its course.]

[Choice 2: Tree Stump (The tree stump itself has no combat capabilities, but has magical attributes that can add attribute effects to attacks from your own side that pass through it.)]

[Choice 3: Nuts (Nuts have no attack power, but have extremely good defense)]

Lin Zhi hesitated for a few seconds. The stump had an epic effect on the Pea Shooter, but it had too many limitations.

Based on what was learned about tree stumps in the previous life.

First, the Pea Shooter's attack needs to pass over the tree stump.

This limitation means that the Pea Shooter's attack can only gain attribute effects in a certain direction.

In addition, the tree stump has no attack power and its defense is not outstanding, so it can be easily destroyed by a sudden attack.

My current situation is not a lack of attack, but a lack of defense.

As expected, the third test was a real combat test. The spiritual plants had halo BUFFs and were not easy to destroy.

The weakness lies in oneself. If the opponent suddenly kills you in an instant, no matter how powerful the spiritual plant is, it will be useless.

Hence, defense is needed.

“I choose nuts!”
