Chapter 188 Recycling the Boundary Demon Plants
Looking at the system announcement on the panel, Long Xiaochen exclaimed in surprise, "Time flies! The event starts in just one hour!"

After leaving the Stele Valley map, the entire Tiandao team became completely absorbed in grinding the map, completing four maps in just eight or nine hours.

Time always flies when you're engrossed in something.

Lin Hanchuan opened the panel, glanced at the power ranking and level ranking, and said, "My progress in clearing the [Bia Wasteland] map is temporarily limited. After I finish clearing the loot, I need to take Xingchen to collect that Realm Demon Plant."

The further you go into the [Bia Wasteland], the higher the level of the monsters and the larger the map becomes. With less than an hour left, it's impossible to finish a single map.

Before the event begins, Lin Hanchuan will also have Xingchen receive the Realm Demon Plants and truly become a Demon Plant Master, which will become a great help to him during the event.

"You should all log off and take a short break. Once the event starts, we'll need to spend a lot of time immersing ourselves in it," Lin Hanchuan continued.

According to the rules, the event will last for four days.

During this period, wild monsters will evolve into mutated monsters. After killing them, both the experience and the loot will be greatly increased, and an additional 100% experience points will be awarded.

For players, killing one monster during the event is equivalent to killing two or three at other times, and grinding for four consecutive days is equivalent to at least ten days under normal circumstances.

However, what Lin Hanchuan values ​​most is the rare race bosses that will be featured in the event.

The boss's appearance is random, meaning it can appear at any time and in any place. To kill them as soon as possible, the entire Heavenly Path Squad must be online at all times.

If we don't rest now, we may not have time to rest for the next four days.

“Then we’ll log off in a bit!” Long Xiaoyue nodded in reply.

……

……

Clean up the fallen debris.

The entire Heavenly Path Squad departed from the [Bia Wasteland].

Long Xiaochen and the others logged off at the original location of the Resurrection Square in Wangyue City, while Lin Hanchuan used the Realm Teleportation Token to bring Xingchen to the Spirit Field.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Field, Lin Hanchuan had not yet had time to check on the condition of the Boundary Demon Plants.

A vine extended from the spirit field and wrapped around Lin Hanchuan's ankle.

Lin Hanchuan, without the slightest tension, looked up along the vines. In the spirit field, a huge flower was blooming, and in the center of the flower was a blurry, unformed human face, but from the outline, it did bear some resemblance to Lin Hanchuan.

It is not any other plant.

It was the giant flower monster that had been planted earlier.

In just a few days, the giant flower monster has already entered a state of near maturity. This growth rate is enough to shock any player.

But Lin Hanchuan's expression was much calmer.

Not far from the giant flower monster, there stood a plant more than three meters tall, with a trunk as thick as an adult's thigh. The branches extending from the trunk were covered with large, lush green leaves, and the roots below the trunk were bathed in an extremely intense light.

Since discovering the Boundary Demon Plant, the lingering resentment of the old oak tree now occasionally draws upon the remaining nutrients in its withered underground body to supply the Boundary Demon Plant in the spirit field for its growth.

When Lin Hanchuan first planted it, he hoped it would reach level 25 at most, but now...

[Boundary Demon Plants]

Level: 33

Rank: King

……

Their levels have caught up with Long Xiaochen and the others.

"Old Oak, thank you so much for nurturing this Boundary Demon Plant!" Lin Hanchuan said gratefully, touching the oak mark on his palm.

The other medicinal plants in the spirit field, including the giant flower monster, are all enjoying the benefits along with the realm's demonic plants, growing at a rate far exceeding expectations.

All of this is thanks to the old oak tree.

It has been quietly contributing its remaining value without ever making any demands on Lin Hanchuan.

"I should be thanking you for allowing me to contribute my remaining energy in Wangyue City." The old oak tree's voice echoed in Lin Hanchuan's mind. "There's something I need to tell you. In the past two days, there have been quite a few weak demons in Wangyue City, and they're posing as residents."

You need to be careful!

“I’ll keep an eye out, old oak.” After saying that, Lin Hanchuan didn’t forget to discuss something with the old oak, “I also have some reliable information. In the next four days, starting forty minutes from now, a powerful rare race may descend upon the city of Wangyue City. If they appear and I happen to be in Wangyue City, could you please let me know?”

The roots of the old oak tree are spread throughout the underground of Moongazing City.

This city holds no secrets for him.

As long as a monster descends within the urban area of ​​Wangyue City, the old oak tree can immediately know its exact location. With the help of the Realm Teleportation Token, Lin Hanchuan can arrive within seconds of the monster's appearance.

It's much faster than players sending messages.

“No problem!” Old Oak is now Lin Hanchuan’s top partner, and he readily agrees to any requests made by his top partner.

Lin Hanchuan then added, "However, my overall combat strength is a bit lacking. I want my contracted companion to take that Realm Demon Plant with me, so we can be ready for battle at any time."

Although the demonic plants of the realm are from the stars.

But the old oak tree has been diligently helping with the cultivation all this time, so we can't just take the boundary demon plant away without saying a word in front of it!

The old oak tree did not stop him, but only reminded him, "After each battle, let him absorb the flesh and blood of the corpses. After he is full, let him sleep for a while in the demon plant space so that he can grow better!"

"If you want it to eventually grow in a more aggressive, combat-oriented way, then stop using the nutrient solution and just irrigate its flesh and blood directly."

From the moment I obtained the profession of Plant Master.

You will automatically gain a monster plant space.

Similar to a subspace, it is the space where the plant master's contracted plant resides. During battle, you only need to summon it from the plant space.

"Okay!" Lin Hanchuan agreed and instructed Xingchen to go and retrieve the domain demon plants.

The recycling process is very simple.

The moment Xingchen reached out and gently touched the demonic plant of the realm, it transformed into a stream of green light and entered Xingchen's body.

From now on, Xingchen can summon it anytime, anywhere with just a thought.

"Brother Huang, I think I'm a bit weak!" Xingchen came up to Lin Hanchuan, her little face showing dissatisfaction, and said, "I want to help you!"

Once the Boundary Plant Controller enters the Plant Space, Star, as its master, can immediately sense its strength.

Realm Demon Plant, Level 33!
Star level 30!
The three-level difference made Xingchen clearly feel that the demonic plants in the realm were difficult to control.

Although a plant master's combat strength is determined by their plant, they generally try to ensure that their plant's level does not surpass their own. This is because plant masters are also intelligent beings with self-awareness, and some, in their later stages of development, can even transform into human form and talk.

A contract merely establishes the foundation for a relationship between two parties, leaning towards an equal contract, and each party has its own way of thinking.

To make sentient plant spirits obey, there is a very effective method: the player's level must be higher than the plant spirit's level, thus exerting absolute suppression over it.

Once the level of the demonic plant exceeds that of the demonic plant master, unless the demonic plant cooperates with you very much, it is very likely that it will not absolutely obey your commands in battle.

For example, if you ask him to eat, he will eat, but he might choose different ways to eat based on his own way of thinking, and he won't just follow the instructions.

Only when your level surpasses his will you have absolute control over him, and he will strictly execute every order without personal feelings or biases.

Xingchen clearly sensed this instinctively.

then……

Under Lin Hanchuan's gaze.

She leveled up!
Level 31!
Level 32!
……

Level 35!
Star stood there and leveled up 5 times!
Lin Hanchuan's mouth watered at the sight.

Although he already knew how Star could be upgraded, no matter when or how many times he saw it with his own eyes, Lin Hanchuan could never help but feel envious.

After reaching level 30, I worked myself to the bone, grinding monsters for eight or nine hours straight, and now I'm probably around level 35. In a flash, Xingchen reached level 35.

There's really no comparison.

More importantly, Lin Hanchuan didn't know where Xingchen's growth ceiling was. If it could maintain this level until level 200, it would be incredibly powerful!

The boundary demon plants have been collected.

Lin Hanchuan called Alice over and asked, "What's the situation with the planters in Wangyue City that I asked you to contact before?"

What's currently limiting farmland development isn't seeds.

It's security.

Lin Hanchuan wanted to rely on his own power to protect the farmland, which meant that after the guild was established, the farmland would be fully developed, and all the land that could be planted with grains and vegetables would be planted.

Lin Hanchuan needs to ensure that the tavern and restaurant can be self-sufficient in some raw materials in the future, while also being able to sell them to others. In particular, if he wants to maintain good relations with the races in the Radiant Forest, food is essential.

Fortunately, the launch event is about to begin.

Based on past experience with server launch events in various regions, killing monsters during the event will not necessarily drop Guild Tokens, but Guild Tokens will definitely appear among the items redeemed with points at the end.

Lin Hanchuan wanted to establish a guild after the server launch event ended.

Then he can organize the players within the guild and recruit some NPCs from Wangyue City to protect these 5,000 acres of farmland.

"Boss, I've successfully contacted over thirty planters, and they've all happily agreed to be there whenever I call!"

Alice replied, "We are also in contact with other growers. I guarantee that no fewer than one hundred growers will be able to come here to participate in the planting."

Lin Hanchuan took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Aili, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll be counting on you to develop the farmland for planting!"

Alice has always performed well and been conscientious in her duties. If large-scale planting is to be carried out on the farmland in the future, Lin Hanchuan plans to appoint Alice as the person in charge and supervisor of the farmland.

Alice took the gold coins and said gratefully, "Thank you, boss!"

Lin Hanchuan nodded, and after harvesting all the mature medicinal plants in the spirit field, he left with Xingchen.

Headed straight to the weapons factory.

……

……

When the teleport arrives at the factory.

Mo Lingyun was sitting on the sofa, his eyes fixed intently on the transparent void in front of him. Clearly, he was looking at his personal panel and handling matters.

"Old Mo!" Lin Hanchuan called out.

Mo Lingyun immediately looked away from his personal panel and saw Lin Hanchuan. He couldn't wait to say, "Old Lin, I have good news for you. The intelligence network inside Wangyue City that you asked me to build is almost complete."

“I created ten groups with 10,000 members each, and they are all full now. I have also announced the specific rules in the groups. Our informants are all over Wangyue City.”

"In the upcoming monster descent event, as soon as our members see the monster boss, we will know its coordinates immediately."

"Well done!" Lin Hanchuan said with satisfaction.

This is really good news.

During monster events, the bosses that are deployed will not stay in one area for an extended period of time.

If the target is not found and killed within the time limit, it will be teleported to another location after the time limit expires.

Therefore, for Lin Hanchuan, the difficulty of the event was not how to kill the monsters, but how to know their coordinates as soon as possible.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you!" Mo Lingyun continued.

Lin Hanchuan: "What is it?"

Mo Lingyun: "Here's what happened. The Water Bear Monster Set produced by our weapons factory is far more sought after in the market than you and I expected. Now, many unscrupulous scalpers have appeared on the market. They are selling the Water Bear Monster Set, which we produce for 1,000 gold coins, for 10,000 gold coins."

"And quite a few people are buying them!"

"In order to crack down on this scalping, I discussed it with Faceless Passerby and decided to establish a scalper organization that belongs to us. Now, half of the Water Bear Monster sets that come out of the weapon factory will be handed over to them to sell on the black market for 5000 gold coins a set."

"Right now, as long as I make a move, I can sell it!"

At this point, Mo Lingyun looked up at Lin Hanchuan and said earnestly.

"If you are not satisfied with the newly established scalper organization, we can remove it now."

"Old Lin, just say it, don't worry about what we think."

This was a decision made privately by him and the Faceless Passerby without Lin Hanchuan's consent.

However, their leader is Lin Hanchuan, so even though they have already discussed this matter and feel that there are great benefits to be gained, they still need his personal consent.

Lin Hanchuan has absolute veto power.

“Very satisfied!” Lin Hanchuan immediately shook his head. “I came to the weapons factory to find you this time because I wanted to talk to you about this, but I didn’t expect you to have already started implementing it.”
