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

Chapter 230 September st Auction

The reason why he asked three first-rate families to find good succubus seedlings was that he wanted to cultivate some succubus that could break through the limitations of their status.

The reason why he didn't make this plan before was because his body couldn't bear the daily training with the succubus sisters.

Later, with diligent study and practice, he found that after practicing for several hours in a row, his hands were no longer sore, his waist no longer hurt, and his legs no longer cramped.

It suddenly dawned on him that his physical fitness could be improved through exercise.

He tried to force himself to work harder, bought a lot of protein and kidney energy supplements, and practiced while taking drugs.

Now, I can actually rest for 12 hours and then work for 12 hours without stopping.

The succubus sisters have reached the level of upper demons, and they can no longer quickly upgrade through daily activities. After Lin Zhi has some free time, he feels that it is time to help more succubi break through their level limits.

But the choice of the right person made Lin Zhi hesitate for a long time. Although the core succubi of the current Jiuyi Church are of high status, there are some who are about to reach the ninth level.

Each of them was experienced in battle, and Lin Zhi really couldn't bring himself to kill them.

It’s better to cultivate it from scratch.

So there are 10 girls in front of us.

He was sure that if he worked 12 hours a day without rest, he would be able to promote the 10 women to upper-level demons in no time.

If war breaks out in the future, the upper demons will be the basis for survival.

After randomly eating some supplements, Lin Zhi called the succubus sisters to his side.

"Okay, the twelve-hour painful training has begun again. Today you are responsible for teaching them the training formula."

Ignoring the painful time of training, Radiation Island is changing rapidly every day.

Soon, a month passed.

The succubus sisters advanced to the upper fifth level, and the ten newly cultivated succubi also reached the peak of the middle ninth level. As long as they work harder, they can easily break through to the upper level.

In a month, the virus mutated several times and many new species of demons appeared.

For example, the Hell Naughty Boy, the Devil Prophet, the Lesser Demon, the Devouring Python, the Devouring Worm, the Ghost Cat, the Rat Demon, Voldemort, the Twin Demon Babies, the Ghost Fish, the Corrupted Whale, the Abyss Giant Turtle, the Devil Shark, the Nightmare Octopus, the Hallucinogenic Jellyfish...

The 125th day after the virus was released.

Lin Zhi accumulated enough 100 billion infection points and prepared to strengthen the virus.

Lin Zhi knew that starting from level 9, the virus could no longer be strengthened in all aspects at the same time.

Something has to give.

Otherwise, in the later stages, there may not be enough infection points.

To upgrade from level 9 to level 10, 1 billion is required.

10→11, requires 1 billion.

11→12, 1 trillion is needed
12→13, requires 10 trillion.

Currently, more than 3 million infection points are produced every day. It will take about a month to accumulate 100 billion infection points.

Lin Zhi didn't have that much time to wait.

Therefore, this strengthening upgrade is crucial.

If this enhancement is enhanced to a level suitable for the current situation, it will usher in great development.

If the ability is strengthened to an inappropriate level, you will need to wait another month before continuing trial and error.

Among the four abilities currently, the ability of bewitchment is very useful, allowing the succubus sisters to control the succubus.

Continuing to improve the ability of bewitchment is useless. With the current level of the succubus sisters, no succubus can escape the control.

The Nirvana ability, because of that damn Juro Inaka, is no longer suitable for the current situation.

When the longevity ability is upgraded to a high level, cells can divide up to 1 trillion times.

With such a terrifying number of times, theoretically speaking, as long as the demon does not suffer fatal injuries or consume a large number of decomposition times, its lifespan could be counted in tens of thousands of years.

The reason why the lifespan is not billions of years is because the cells in the demon's body are affected by the virus and are renewed too quickly.

Unlike humans who are renewed every few years, the stronger the demon, the faster the cells in its body are renewed, and they are renewed all the time.

This is also the reason why demons need to keep eating and become stronger quickly.

The cells in the body of a high-level demon can be renewed thousands of times a day, and theoretically have a lifespan of millions of years.

Of course, when the demon takes damage and needs to repair itself, it will consume additional splits.

Lin Zhi estimated that in order to further improve his ability to live forever, he would have to continue to increase the upper limit of the number of cell divisions.

The upper limit of 1 trillion decomposition times seems to be sufficient for the current situation.

The last "stable" ability, after being upgraded to a high level, the ability changes that when the demon ability is awakened, the virus and the host gradually become 100% compatible, and then the virus stabilizes and no longer undergoes extreme mutations.

If Lin Zhi's goal is to train a demon army to conquer other worlds for him, then this ability is a magical skill.

But Lin Zhi's goal is to harvest demons and become infection points, so this ability is a hindrance.

The virus has become stable, how can it mutate? Mutate?
Lin Zhi also hopes that those who are infected with the virus and gain devilish abilities can make the viral abilities in their bodies mutate a second or third time!

Lin Zhi has always remembered the tasks issued by the system:
[Main quest (novice quest): Evolve the demon virus to B within one year. (Mission failure: All humans will be wiped out)]

【Reward: The specific quality is determined based on the points.】

[Side Mission 1000: Before the virus is cured, the number of people infected on Radiation Island reaches million.]

[Reward: 1 point/time]

[Side Quest 2: Strengthen the virus by one level.]

[Reward: 2 point/time]

[Side Mission 3: Make the virus mutate completely]

[Reward: 0.1 point/time]

[Side Mission 4: Make the mutated virus mutate again]

[Reward: 5 point/time]

[Side Mission 5: Make the virus that has undergone secondary mutation mutate three times]

[Reward: 50 point/time]

I don't dare to continue clicking on this "stability" ability, otherwise I will miss out on the points reward for the second and third mutations.

Lin Zhi also thought about whether strengthening the ability to resist viruses would make it easy to complete the main task.

Because the "stability" ability brought by this resistance conflicts with side quests three, four, and five that can earn a large number of points.

Not clicking "Stable" means you can continue to complete side quest 345 and earn a lot of points.

If you click "stable", you will not be able to access the 345 branches and earn a lot of points.

According to the theory of playing games, the richer the reward for a task, the harder it is to complete.

To put it another way, if you don't click on stability, it will be difficult mode.

I clicked on stability, which is the simple mode.

Continuing to reason according to this logic, if we click on the virus's "adaptability" ability, would it be hell mode?
The reason why viruses can continue to mutate is due to their adaptability.

Maybe if the adaptability is improved, the virus will easily mutate two or three times.

From a system perspective, it is impossible for people to easily gain a large amount of points.

Maybe if they were more adaptable, the virus would mutate to become lethal, and all the infected people would die in an instant.

The main mission failed directly.

Lin Zhi had played a game called Plague Inc. before, which had similar abilities. If the abilities were too extreme, the game would be ruined soon. So, now that he was leveling up from level 9 to level 10, Lin Zhi became cautious.

After analysis, the current four abilities are all dispensable for Lin Zhi and can be selected or not.

Seems to represent the "stability" (resistance) of the simple model

Seems to represent the "nirvana" (adaptability) of hell mode

The "Seduction" (infection ability) is currently useless to the Succubus sisters.

"Immortality" (transmission ability) whose cell division limit has already been exceeded

"Let's rule out stability and nirvana first. Simplicity and hell mode are not what I want. I want to be excellent as a person, but I want to be moderate in doing things."

Lin Zhi decided to choose between infection and spread.

“Toss a coin. Heads infects. Tails spreads.”

Lin Zhi took out a coin and threw it into the air.

Snapped!
The coin fell into the crack in the floor and stood up.

“I… shit!”

Lin Zhi picked up the coin silently, he already had the answer in his mind.

It is not important whether you toss a coin or not; what is important is which side you hope for when you toss it.

Lin Zhi consumes 100 billion infection points to upgrade the infection ability.

"As expected, I'm still looking forward to new routes of infection after the C-stage upgrade! If it can infect invertebrates (insects, etc.), then it can pass the level directly... Although I know it's unlikely, I still can't help but hope..."

At this time, Lin Zhi looked at the system panel with the same mentality as drawing cards in a card game.

Virus:Demon Virus
Evolution level: C
Enhancement level: lv10
Virus Effect: Virus Effect: Demonization (After being infected with the virus, the player gains demonic abilities and becomes a demon. There is a very small chance that the demonic abilities will mutate a second time.)
Virus Capabilities

Final transmission: The virus acquires the ability to infect all vertebrates, can be transmitted through droplets, and can survive in the external environment for 3 days.

Extreme Bewitching: The mutant demon gains the ability to bewitch others. The bewitcher can use the mutant virus to control those infected with the same mutant virus who are one level lower than himself.

Primary Corrosion: A high-level demon can stimulate the evil thoughts in the hearts of low-level demons to corrode the souls of low-level demons. When the demon consciousness is extinguished, the virus will devour the souls of the life in the higher dimension, giving birth to a new consciousness subordinate to the high-level demon. The generation of the erosion relationship cannot act on the mutant source demon, and the difference between the two must be one level or nine levels.

Ultimate stealing: After the virus infects the host, it steals the abilities of beneficial bacteria.

Advanced Stable: After the virus mutates and develops demonic abilities, it will no longer be affected by other strains of demonic viruses and will gradually become 100% compatible with the host. Its structure is stable and not prone to extreme mutations or changes.

The ultimate deception: After the virus infects the host, it can fuse with the host cells and control cell division and growth.

Advanced Immortality: After the virus fuses with the host cell, the upper limit of the number of cell divisions is increased to 1 trillion times.

Final adaptation: After the virus infects the host, it will be affected and will undergo adaptive changes, with a one in a billion chance of an adaptive mutation.

Advanced Nirvana: When the host loses a certain emotion corresponding to the virus, the virus will take the opportunity to invade the nervous system. When the invasion degree reaches more than 50%, it will control the host's thinking consciousness, logic, and rebirth.

……

Infection Enhancement: lv10 (0/1 billion)

Resistance enhancement: lv9 (0/1 billion)

Communication Enhancement: lv9 (0/1 billion)

Adaptive Enhancement: lv9 (0/1 billion)

Lin Zhi stared at the system panel in a daze.

After the infection ability was enhanced, no new infection routes appeared.

However, the description of the virus's effects mentions the possibility of a secondary mutation of the virus's abilities.

However, after the infection ability was upgraded to level 10, the newly emerged "erosion" ability did not disappoint Lin Zhi.

The succubus sisters have now reached the fifth level, with the three abilities of bewitching, enchanting, and corroding. I'm afraid there are few demons that will not be controlled by them.

Especially the ability of erosion. As long as some combat demons are controlled, the disadvantage of insufficient combat personnel in the 91st Church can be made up.

Of course, Lin Zhi’s goal was never to make the Jiuyi Church fight.

Instead, he let the Jiuyi Church protect his own safety in troubled times, while provoking disputes among various forces.

"Notify everyone that an auction will be held in the name of the Yijiuyi Church the day after tomorrow."

Lin Zhi handed a list to the succubus sisters.

"This...really need to be released?" Chenxi was shocked when he saw the items on the list.

"There are plenty of these things. All we have to do is attract them to come."

"it is good!"

After the succubus sisters left, Lin Zhi took out a piece of paper and began to copy the names on the system panel.

Recently, it has become possible to see specific attribute statistics about the infected people from the system.

Anyone who has reached the level of a lower-level demon or above will appear on Lin Zhi’s system panel sub-page.

Priority will be given to those infected with the mutant virus, and the strength will be ranked from high to low.

He copied the list in order to prepare a list and leak the information of these demons.

NO.1 Moonlight Dawn (Mutation Source Virus - Succubus), Upper Level

NO.2 Moonlight Morning Dew (Mutation Source Virus - Succubus), Upper Level

NO.3 Emperor Chihito (Mutation Source Virus - Abyss Lord), Middle Rank

NO.4 Kazuki Kawato (Mutation Source Virus – Flame Demon/Thunder Demon), Middle Rank
NO.5 Watanabe Shinno (Mutation Source Virus - Troll), Middle Rank

NO.6 Kosha Hoshinobu (mutation source virus - Devil Prophet), middle level

NO.7 Ma Seng (mutation source virus - Fallen Angel), middle level eight

NO.8 Puppy (mutation source virus - Hellhound), middle level eight

NO.9 Futian (mutation virus - dark elf), middle level eight

……

NO.79 Manengxi (Succubus), Upper Level

……

When this statistics page appeared, Lin Zhi was also very surprised. Some people looked normal on the surface, but secretly they had not only become demons, but also had such a high rank.

Lin Zhi ignored the fact that the succubus sisters did not copy down the names and copied down the rest of the list.

Then, he changed the 10 girls whose upper limits he had unlocked from the upper first level to the middle fifth level.

"Okay, once this list is sent out, we will have detailed intelligence on each force. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle!"

Lin Zhi smiled with satisfaction.

The next step is to wait for the auction organized by the Jiuyi Church the day after tomorrow.

The auction is the one that stirs up the storm.

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Lin Zhi stayed in the underground base of the Jiuyi Church, remotely monitoring the auction.

For this auction, Lin Zhi had already made a plan when he clearly defined his goal of harvesting demons.

He joined forces with the three first-class ancient families of Koizumi, Masou, and Fukuten, and jointly organized it in the name of Jiuyi, Inugami, Angels, and Spirit Churches.

As for the items used to attract people to participate, there are three.
