Wizard: Starting with Symbiosis with Algae

The crystals of the iron epidemic undulated like waves.

Lynn was quite familiar with the magic-enrichment mechanic. Blue-light algae were a product of magic-enrichment, as were flying rods.

However, these Iron Plague Viruses skip a small level between low and high magic power; they are either low or high magic power, with no transition zone. This is clearly the result of wizard modification.

As for the purpose of the renovation

Lynn's gaze was fixed on the second characteristic.

Apoptosis modification causes organisms to die due to an excess of their own magic.

It must be said that this idea is quite ingenious: retain the "infertile" state while in a state of low magic power, thus locking in the ability to reproduce; once the environment is rich in magic power, the apoptosis characteristic is immediately triggered, and the entire group self-destructs.

In addition to other possible characteristics, a virus capable of causing large-scale damage to equipment is unlikely to reproduce.

This is a symbol of the wizard's perfect control over the Iron Plague.

But these viruses, which are not of much use at the moment, are not Lynn's main concern.

The one that can truly enhance his attributes when paired with the lamb is the one that works.

Lynn looked at the Adrano grass that had activated the Iron Plague Virus and enriched it with magic.

So if Iron Plague can wither, then the Herbaceous Plants of Edranoro might also wither due to too much magic.

The Edranor grass, which can trigger the Iron Plague Virus to become enchanted, may contain tiny magical clumps with a high unit density inside.

The increase in agility may be related to these magical clumps overflowing from the Edranor grass.

Lynn put away the virus, and the moment the Iron Plague stopped absorbing the magic of the Edranor Grass, a notification came.

[Through the combined effects of the Edranorian grass and the lamb, their bodies became stronger.]

Agility +0.01.

Excessive magic may inhibit a growth process that should occur naturally, and the stinging sensation of Edranor grass is caused by the excluded magic.

(ps-generating apical inhibition.)

If this line of thinking is correct, then the logic of training needs to be changed.

..

Lynn slightly raised his hand.

After all,

The summary is only one sentence.

Edranor grass is cheap.

He raised his hand and summoned the smallest flying stick.

A flash of blue electricity appeared at his fingertips, and the flying rod obediently hovered above his tiger's mouth, the arc of electricity converging and buzzing.

"Draw a shallow line from the first point where magic converges at the base." Lynn held the Edranor grass up to his eyes and pointed to the location with his fingertip. "The same on the right. And this growth point of the grass knot."

The flying rod was operated with great care. Wherever the lightning flashed, the already slender grass stems were gnawed away, leaving long strips.

At the point where the magic converged, a tiny drop of liquid seeped out from the cut, transparent with a very faint green tinge, and quickly condensed into a small bead in the air.

This area lost approximately seven percent of its thickness.

"Yes. Well done. We haven't been feeding you well usually, so you did a good job."

Lynn retracted the flying stick.

The agile increase in numbers has stopped.

As the pulsation on the lamb's side gradually subsided, the Edranor grass began to grow rapidly.

Their roots began to stretch out, and the small cuts that had just been made healed into a thicker layer of skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

枝繁叶茂

well

This proves it's effective.

Lynn took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement rising in his heart, and calmly ordered the flying rod to perform the same operation on another Edranor grass that was a slightly different color.

After both plants were girdled, the results were exactly the same: Agility stopped growing, while Grass began to grow wildly.

The only differences are in speed and performance.

A clearer idea took shape in his mind.

I was originally planning what kind of new fungus to customize to help cultivate Edranor grass after getting help from the little iron man. Now it seems that the idea can be simplified a lot. As long as I find a fungus that can continuously erode Edranor grass, it can grow indefinitely.

The magic absorption rate of this grass is significantly higher than that of blue light algae.

Blue-light algae are advantageous because they are suitable for large-scale cultivation, but their functions are limited to nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis.

Aside from not being able to generate heat, being small in size, being troublesome to care for, and having extremely demanding environmental requirements, Edranor grass is practically all good.

Most importantly, the fruit. The fruit of the Edranor plant can stimulate an increase in magical power, a fact clearly documented in historical records.

Even if he doesn't use it himself, he can give it to flying rods and other symbiotic organisms.

Lynn looked up and gave a wry smile.

The specific parameters and procedures still need to be verified.

However, this conjecture is probably closer to the truth.

He glanced at the faint outline of a massive cave visible in the distance of the desert and quickened his pace.

……

A few hours later, the sun set.

The weather in the desert changes quickly, like being half-covered in an air-conditioned room.

The rapid changes between cold and heat, combined with the exhaustion from continuous travel and constant battles along the way, left Lynn feeling quite sleepy.

He crossed the dried-up valley, braced himself on a relatively high, normal sand dune, and sat down to rest for a while. He assigned the flying stick and the scaled pike the simplest task: "patrol," then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

But she woke up shortly after. Lynn was awakened by the cold.

The desert night wind lashed coldly against Lynn's face.

Lynn pulled her coat tighter, sat up, and covered herself with blue algae.

The first thing to do is check the Edranor grass on your wrist.

Several hours passed.

Under the precise trimming of the flying stick, the roots of the Edranor grass had grown into clumps, loosely and leisurely emerging from the edge of the wristband, like two gray-green pom-poms.

It was almost half the size of Lynn's body, exceeding any recorded Adrano grass.

Moreover, Lynn was pleasantly surprised to find that several small, unripe fruits had already formed at the tips of its grass stems.

Generally speaking, low-growing crops produce a large number of seeds, and once the first batch of fruits matures, the chain of continuous reproduction can be started.

Lynn could already picture himself covered in Edranor grass, each plant constantly stimulating his attributes and bearing new fruit.

Fully automatic attribute growth—it sounds amazing!

Lynn raised his head and looked straight up with a triumphant air.

The mirror city hangs in the sky, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a lively scene.

But he's not bad either.

The floating city slowly rotated in the night sky, and even the North Star of a traveler seemed no more beautiful than it.

Setting the area that disrupts magical energy directly below the Mirror City to provide direction for the trainees is indeed meaningful.

Just then, a mouth appeared out of the dark desert ahead. The sound of dripping water could be heard from inside.

It was a cave.

Deep and terrifying.

Lynn also heard other sounds, more fragmented and denser: the rustling of furry filaments rubbing against the rock wall, as if some tiny things were moving densely in the darkness.

Before they even entered the cave, two people were already shouting.

"Joe, use your invincible physique to think of a way! Those guys are already two kilometers ahead of us!"

"I know! But the power of machines has its limits, and I haven't adapted to them yet!"

A deafening roar. A section of the rock wall collapsed, and the rumble of falling debris echoed throughout the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a small group of things emerged from the light and shadow at the cave entrance.

Their eye sockets are yellow, their bodies are mixed with green, some have small pincers, some don't, but regardless of whether they have pincers or not, they are all very small, but their numbers are astonishing.

"Hurry, Joe! I have a bad feeling! There are Oasis Spiders everywhere! Damn it! They're eating my leg hair. Hurry up!"

"Damn it, didn't you say everything was fine? Disassemble, start!"
