Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

Chapter 163 A Magical Plant Paradise (Seeking votes for next month at the end of the month)

But Zheng Xu shook his head: "Isn't that a bad idea? When they build a courtyard and erect an energy shield, it's obvious they don't want people to just barge in, right?"

"Our identities are special. Even though we were recommended by the eldest brother, people will still be somewhat wary of us."

Zheng Qiuyu clearly understood this principle, but curiosity still drove her to take a look.

"It shouldn't be a problem to just look, right? If not, we can just go and ask him if he'd be willing."

"If you go and ask, even if they don't want you to come in, they might let you in out of politeness. But won't that offend people? They'll say you have no boundaries."

Zheng Xu still disagreed. He even pointed to the city wall stairs next to him: "If you really just want to see this mushroom house, you can go up there and take a look. You can get a general idea of ​​what it looks like anyway."

The height of the city wall did indeed allow outsiders to see most of the courtyard.

"Alright~" Zheng Qiuyu was persuaded by her younger brother, and seemed to feel that doing so was beyond the boundaries of their respective status in the territory.

"Then come up with me and take a look!"

At that moment, Sui An stood in front of the mushroom and circled around. He could feel the guards on the watchtower looking at him.

Perhaps it was because advancing to the fourth level greatly enhanced his mental strength that he hadn't felt this way before.

When it comes to this kind of sensitivity, one has to be a physical type of professional like Wang Hu. A strong physique brings comprehensive enhancement feedback, and apart from the fact that the source energy in his body has no attributes, he has almost no obvious weaknesses.

Even as a level one warrior, he was able to keenly detect the long-range attacks of level three mutated shadow lizards.

However, I think that my current level of mental sensitivity is probably not much different from that of Wang Hu, who is at level 3.

If Wang Hu breaks through to level four, he might still surpass me. This is a professional gap, and there's no good way to overcome it.

Sui An didn't care about the stares of outsiders. He knew that the city wall could see most of the courtyard, but as long as they didn't come in casually when he wasn't there, it was fine.

Just like when the soil was being changed in the morning, those few people came in. Actually, there was nothing that they shouldn't have seen.

His biggest concern now is no longer these purple buildings. Since he revealed the purple offensive buildings, no one has tried to take advantage of them for so long.

Those who are eyeing it need to consider how to deal with the level 4 purple attack building before attacking it.

Those who can consistently defeat themselves are probably no longer too concerned about purple attack buildings. However, they might still be interested in purple-quality life skill buildings.

He guessed that this was probably due to a combination of factors, but having already broken through to level four, he was not afraid of anything else unless a high-level being came to cause him trouble.

After the golden building was upgraded to level 4, Sui An was skeptical about whether the spirit could defeat a level 7 professional in a head-on confrontation.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

If he could stall them, he figured he could still manage. There was no way around it; the gap between mid-to-high-level barriers was only greater than the gap between low-to-mid-level barriers.

However, as long as they can hold out, the level 7 professionals will most likely not be able to easily open up their territory.

Even if one of the two older brothers of the Crescent Moon City Lord came, he would still have a fighting chance.

The only thing that could potentially cause him to fail right now is the secret realm. As long as no one knows that a secret realm exists here, he won't be in any major danger.

If the city lord discovers this, he will most likely be recruited, but he may not necessarily be killed. After all, the buildings will be forced to dissipate as soon as he leaves, and he probably can't take the dimensional portal with him. In other words, this secret realm will only remain here.

"I wonder what's going on with the Zhao family father and son. The city lord knows about it too, but nothing's changed. Does Zhao Hong still think he can do anything about this?"

Sui An suddenly thought of the Zhao family father and son who had been missing for three months, and the shadow in his heart had never dissipated.

"I hope they don't reveal it to me too soon. Let's wait until I break through to level 5. Maybe then I'll be able to fight back!"

"Let my protagonist aura kick in!"

Pulling his thoughts back, Sui An pushed open one of the huge wooden doors of the purple building. The double wooden doors were over 4 meters high, and the two doors together were 5 meters wide. If they were fully opened, a transport vehicle could probably drive right in.

When the door was pushed open, Sui An immediately saw an even larger space.

"My God, it's huge!"

Only now did Sui An understand what it meant to have an expansion space inside. Inside was a huge cylindrical space with white walls on all sides and what seemed to be some kind of transparent roof, through which one could see the same sky and sun as the outside world.

The room, bathed in sunlight and illuminated by the white walls, appeared exceptionally bright and warm.

This is much larger than the Mushroom House itself; its diameter alone is probably over forty meters, and its height is visibly taller, likely even taller than a city wall.

The building space has a cross-shaped path in the middle and an outer ring connecting the surrounding walls, completely suspended in mid-air.

Below is a lower level space three to four meters deep.

Based on this calculation, the total height is probably around fifteen or sixteen meters.

The area that can be planted is already larger than the area of ​​its own level-two territory, about two acres in size. Compared to the low-level planting base, it is much larger.

"No wonder they need 20 times the base materials; in my opinion, they still need far too few!"

In the middle of the intersection, there is a round pillar about half a person's height, which seems to be the control panel of this building.

The path is more than a meter wide, so walking across it shouldn't be a problem, but if Sui An falls down, he's afraid he won't be able to climb back up.

He walked over cautiously and saw the shape of the pillar inside. It was indeed a control panel, and the control panel was very similar to his alchemy workshop, but it was more advanced than the planting base.

The screen currently displays various climate information, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, and all of these appear to be adjustable.

After a brief study, Sui An left for the planting base, picked a leaf from the Quenching Source Fruit Tree, and returned to the control panel of the Botanical Paradise.

There seemed to be a detection area on it. Sui An placed the leaf on it, and sure enough, a complete message popped up on the control panel.

[Plant Name]: Tempering Source Fruit Tree [Plant Level]: Level 3 [Plant Quality]: Green [Plant Function]: The Tempering Source Fruit Tree can bear five to ten fruits each time. After the fruits mature, they can be used as low-level source energy potion materials to assist in tempering the body.

Combat professionals can consume it directly; it can accelerate physical tempering to a certain extent, with the actual tempering effect varying depending on the individual's physical condition.

It decreases as the combat professional's physical strength and professional level increase.

The Quenching Source Fruit Tree can be left unharvested after the fruit ripens. After a month, most of the energy in the fruit will be absorbed by the kernel, and there is a chance that it will transform into a vine within the fruit.

[Plant Requirements]: The growth of Quenching Source Fruit Tree species requires a certain concentration of source energy environment. If the concentration cannot meet the requirements, it will not be able to sprout and grow. The minimum growth time for the tree is five months. The higher the concentration, the faster the growth rate.

Once a fruit tree reaches level 3, it will choose its flowering and fruiting time based on sunlight intensity and temperature. The flowering period is about one month, and the fruit ripening process can take up to four months.

Sufficient sunlight can slightly shorten the fruit ripening time. Watering with source beast blood or burying source beast meat chunks at the roots during the fruiting period can accelerate its growth. Note that source beast meat chunks must not exceed level 4, as source beast bodies of higher levels cannot be digested and absorbed, and bones must not be mixed in.

[Note]: Non-combat professionals can consume the Tempering Source Fruit. It can slightly improve physical strength. After consuming a maximum of ten fruits, no more can be absorbed. The higher the profession level, the weaker the effect.

Consumption of non-energy-generating life forms is prohibited and poses a life-threatening risk.

Sui An was dumbfounded by the dense information.

The amount of information is almost like the result of an expert's years of dedicated research on a particular plant.

Sui An even suspected that it did not obtain the information from the source energy plant, but rather that it had a knowledge base and simply matched the information of this plant.

Sui An flipped through the first page of the outline, and there were more than a dozen pages of similar information, mostly detailed planting items, and even descriptions of possible pests and methods of pest control.

However, most pest control methods involve the grower's energy, which suggests that the grower's energy has some special properties, not only accelerating plant growth but also having a special effect on insects.

The information here is even more comprehensive than the information about the seeds of the Energy-Devouring Giant Tree that Sui An obtained back then.

This dispelled Sui An's idea of ​​becoming a planter through self-study.

Based on the above information, he can at most become a farmer, not a plantation specialist, so the existence of this profession is still very necessary.

"However, we non-combat professions can also eat these Tempering Source Fruits!"

Sui An astutely found something useful in it and even expanded his thinking on it.

"Could it be that I can eat that Bodhi seed too?"

To be honest, Sui An was a little greedy.

After all, what man could resist physical enhancement?

Women probably can't either!

"The more you talk about it, the tastier I get."

"No way! I'll have Aunt Zhao and the others go and pick a leaf for me!"

Sui An acted immediately, rushing out of the house and heading straight for their house.

"What, go pick a leaf from a Blood Crystal Bodhi tree?"

Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment. What kind of strange request was this? She glanced at Sui An and said, "I remember you left a piece of fruit, didn't you?"

Sui An looked at Zhao Feng strangely: "I gave that fruit to Hu Zi after he broke through to level three!"

"He didn't tell you?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Zhao Feng's thick eyebrows immediately shot up: "Isn't this utter nonsense! This fruit has powerful energy; isn't he afraid of exploding after eating it?"

"Why did you just give him the fruit without thinking?"

Sui An subconsciously took a step back. This Tiger was a real rascal; he ate the fruit without telling his mother, leaving Sui An to bear the consequences.

thunder!

He tried to explain, "I have a stage to treat him, and he's a physical practitioner, so he's naturally strong. He was fine after taking the medicine, and the stage wasn't even needed—"

His voice trailed off as he spoke, but Zhao Feng couldn't wait any longer.

She glared at Sui An fiercely before walking out.

She kicked open Wang Hu's door with a bang, and seeing Wang Hu's bewildered expression, she kicked him with her big foot.

After receiving a good beating, Zhao Feng still went with Fang Si to get some leaves for herself.

Wang Hu, with a bruised and swollen face, was assigned by Sui An to dig in the dirt.

"You're such a sly fellow! You look like a big, burly guy, but I never expected you to be so shrewd and know how to keep things to yourself!"

Sui An leaned against the door, cursing. He was really worried that he would get a beating too, but luckily Aunt Zhao knew that Hu Zi was her biological son, and the kind that couldn't be beaten to death.

Wang Hu was also very aggrieved. While unloading soil from the truck, he complained in a low voice, "How was I supposed to know you would tell her?"

Sui An immediately retorted, "That's not right of you! How could you not tell your own mother about something so important!"

Wang Hu was equally blunt: "If there's nothing wrong with eating it, why tell her? You'll just get beaten up!"

Sui An was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Hu in surprise: "Damn, what you said makes so much sense! I can't find any problems!"

But he wasn't one to be trifled with either, and he added menacingly, "You talk back to the boss? You're the one who has to fill this hole by yourself!"

"Huh? How long would it take to dig this out of one person?"

Zhao Feng and Fang Si left quickly and returned just as fast, even casually tossing up a few shadow lizards they'd killed along the way.

During this period, they would send some source beasts over from time to time to prevent them from not getting enough nutrition.

However, none of them were plant experts; Wang Zhen had only obtained some basic information from the trading company.

"Is this a purple, plant-based building?" Zhao Feng glanced at it, not even glancing at Hao Da'er who was unloading soil.

They were already used to Sui An's extraordinary abilities, but they still couldn't suppress their curiosity.

Sui An took the leaf: "Yes, it has some special functions; I'm testing it out right now!"

"What special function?"

Sui An didn't say anything, but simply took the leaves and turned to go inside.

The group followed Sui An inside, and even Wang Hu stopped digging.

Compared to Sui An's cautiousness, the three non-human beings behind him didn't care at all. At this height, even if they fell headfirst, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"What a huge space! It's an expansion-space building! This is great!"

"Its length, width, and height seem to be about twice that of the outside."

"A great place to sunbathe, it's warm and cozy, and you don't have to worry about the wind."

The group chatted amongst themselves, their eyes filled with surprise, and soon they returned to the control panel.

Sui An placed the vine leaf on it, and new information appeared.

[Plant Name]: Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine [Plant Level]: Level 5 [Plant Quality]: Blue [Plant Uses]: Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine can produce ten to twenty fruits each time. After the fruits mature, they can be used as intermediate source energy potion materials to assist in tempering the body.

Combat professionals can consume it directly, which can accelerate the physical tempering of intermediate professionals to a certain extent. However, the actual tempering effect decreases as the combat professional's physical strength and professional level increase.

Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine can be left unharvested after the fruit matures. Two months later, most of the energy in the fruit will be absorbed by the seed, and there is a chance that the fruit will transform into a vine seed.

[Plant Requirements]: The vines require a high concentration of energy to grow. If the concentration is insufficient, they will not germinate and grow. The slowest growth time for the vines is thirty-six months. The higher the concentration, the faster the growth rate.

Once the Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine reaches Level 5, it will choose the time to bear fruit based on the concentration of source energy and soil nutrients. From the start of fruiting to the ripening of the fruit, it will take up to six months.

Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine dislikes sunlight; direct sunlight will cause it to develop a photophobia reaction, leading to its stunted growth.

During the fruit ripening process, watering with source beast blood or burying source beast meat chunks at the roots can accelerate the ripening speed. Note that the source beast meat must not exceed level 6, as the bodies of source beasts of higher levels cannot be digested and absorbed.

The Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine has a 24-month cooldown period before it bears fruit. Intermediate wood-attribute crystals can shorten the cooldown period of the Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine by up to 12 months.

[Note]: Consuming Blood Crystal Bodhi requires a certain level of physical strength. Low-level combat professionals may experience blood vessel rupture after consuming it.

Non-combat professionals should not consume this product unless they have special opportunities to obtain a certain level of physical enhancement.

Non-energy-generating life forms are prohibited from consumption.

"It feels like a source energy plant; watering it with the blood and flesh of source beasts accelerates its growth!"

Sui An looked at the first half of the information, which was almost identical to the first half, and started to complain.

Zhao Feng stared wide-eyed at the scene before her. "You make such a simple statement about special abilities sound so easy, but it seems a bit too far-fetched."

So much plant information can be given just from a single leaf.

This is simply a miracle product!

But she quickly composed herself. After all, this was a mid-level purple-grade residential and professional building, and it wasn't unusual for it to have some special functions.

She glanced at Sui An beside her and casually retorted.

"What's so hard to understand? It's just like animals needing to eat, isn't it?"

"You're right!"

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. Haven't you heard the old saying, 'One whale fall brings forth a myriad of life'?"

Zhao Feng looked away from the platform and continued explaining, "Flesh and blood, plants—aren't these things just part of a cycle?"

"I understand the logic, I'm just venting —"

How could Sui An not understand? Source Energy Plants are still plants, but they have an additional nutritional pathway compared to ordinary plants, which is Source Energy.

His comment was just a casual remark.

He was somewhat disappointed: "It's a pity I can't eat this!"

"Is that why you're doing this?" Zhao Feng suddenly realized what was going on in this kid's head.

Sui An nodded: "That's right, I can eat the Quenching Source Fruit Tree; it can improve my physical strength a little."

Fang Si, standing to the side, closed her eyes and sensed the concentration: "The concentration here is probably 40% to 50% higher than in the territory!"

"After this promotion to level 4, the energy concentration in your territory has increased significantly, almost the same as when you went from level 2 to level 3. At this concentration, your building should be able to transplant Blood Crystal Bodhi Vine, right?"

Sui An threw the leaf into the pit beside him. The information that had already been identified was backed up in the control panel, so there was no need to worry about losing the record.

"Not bad, this building can increase the energy concentration by up to 50%!"

"But we have no experience with transplantation, and there's a distance between us, so who knows if any problems might arise."

"You're right!" Fang Si suddenly sighed, her tone somewhat melancholy.

"I suddenly remembered that I once tried to transplant a special energy plant from the wild, but it withered and died on the way."

"High-quality energy-generating plants that have grown to maturity cannot be easily transplanted; they will die halfway through. Their energy requirements are too high. They are constantly absorbing nutrients and energy. Once the energy supply is cut off, they will wither quickly."

Sui An wasn't surprised. If this thing were so easy to transplant, places like Lianyun Mountain, which are full of all kinds of useful source energy plants, would probably have been emptied out long ago.

He pointed to the control panel and said.

"I haven't had time to study the information here yet. If there is information on transplanting that can be done without a planter, then I'll try transplanting some seedlings from the planting base next door first."

"If transplantation really requires the assistance of a planter, then it can't be done in a short time. After all, that's a secret realm, and we don't have any planters we can trust to help us there."

Zhao Feng was somewhat discouraged: "What you said is true. Compared to the secret realm, transplanting this Blood Crystal Bodhi is only dispensable."

"But the tempering effect of this Blood Crystal Bodhi is too good. It's rare to come across it, and it's hard not to miss it."

After consuming the Blood Crystal Bodhi, she grew quite tired of this slow and leisurely cultivation method.

That's how people are; if they're always in darkness, it doesn't really matter.

But if one day he sees the light, then he can't go back.

Sui An shrugged: "It won't take too long. Maybe there's a way to transplant them artificially without a planter."

He didn't really care, since he couldn't eat the fruit anyway!

Wang Hu suddenly chimed in, "Since there's nothing else going on in the territory right now, let's keep looking. We can look together; maybe we'll find some relevant information!"

"Sure, if you don't mind it being boring, you can do it together."

Sui An retrieved all the information on the two unlocked plants, a dozen pages of dense content. Everyone read it carefully, afraid of missing anything.

Finally, on the second-to-last page, I found information about transplanting mature plants.

But the result was somewhat disappointing for them.

A fully formed Blood Crystal Bodhi seedling truly needs a planter to protect it with their energy.

Aside from technical information such as how much root system to retain, it also indicates that a certain amount of intermediate wood-attribute crystals should be used as temporary nutrients after the plant is removed from the ground.

Moreover, the planter must be at least level 4, and if the journey is too far, it may even be necessary to prepare source energy recovery potions.

In contrast, the source-quenching fruit tree, being a low-level plant, does not require such high requirements; it only needs to ensure a certain amount of native soil and low-level wood attribute crystals.

On the contrary, the Energy-Devouring Giant Tree, which is also a low-level source plant, requires a low-level planter to take care of it with source energy throughout the process.

"It seems that the decision of whether or not a grower's supervision is needed should be based on quality, rather than grade being the main factor."

"It seems we need to find a reliable planter to work with!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't I be wasting all these good resources?"
