Looking at the two gene fragments obtained in the system's gene pool, Li Quan frowned.

[Reproductive Genes: Normal Quality (White), Effect: Causes plants to produce a large number of seeds. 】

[Virulence gene: excellent quality (green), effect: double the toxicity of the plant itself.] 】

I saw Li Quan frowning and thinking hard, gritting his teeth for a while, very unwilling, as if he had lost some important item, and then his brows stretched, and he suddenly realized, but then he frowned again, as if he couldn't figure it out.

The appearance of these two gene fragments really made Li Quan scratch his head.

Say they're chicken, right? But the effect is outstanding, and it looks quite exciting on the surface. In particular, the green quality of the highly toxic gene can double the plant toxicity, if you can get a plant containing highly toxic in the future, implant this gene fragment into it, maybe you can get a terrible poison!

Highly poisonous, there is no doubt that it is a fairly effective means of fighting.

When he fed chocolate to the gnolls, he was actually poisoning them, and the effect was obvious to all.

If you are fighting a powerful opponent, such as the Black Dragon Princess Onexia, you can unexpectedly and suddenly scatter a large amount of poison, which will definitely make the opponent suffer a big loss and give you a few chances of winning.

But the key problem is that Li Quan noticed that the premise of the [highly toxic gene] being effective is that the "toxicity of the plant itself" is doubled. In other words, only by transplanting this gene fragment into a highly toxic plant can we get twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, so far, he has not submitted a highly toxic plant. It's not surprising, if poisonous plants could be encountered casually, the world would have been chaotic a long time ago.

This made Li Quan feel very sorry, and he couldn't help but sigh and think: "It seems that I can't use it for the time being." Keep it for now, and when you find a highly poisonous plant, this gene fragment can come in handy. ”

Another gene fragment [Reproductive Gene] also made Li Quan very suspicious.

"It allows plants to produce a lot of seeds...... If you graft it with high-grade plants, the effect should be very good, right? Li Quan touched his chin, a little confused.

For a long time, Li Quan had a limitation when exchanging seeds from the system, and that was the problem of quantity.

Each time he redeemed, the system gave him 1,000 seeds of the plant, a lot and not a lot. As long as it comes to contributing points, the system will be extremely stingy.

Therefore, the more advanced the seed, the more contribution points will be spent on redemption. Li Quan is very painful every time he exchanges it, and that is his hard-earned contribution point.

Li Quan did not want to collect seeds by himself like a farmer, but unfortunately, he did not know anything about this knowledge.

After all, he is also a halfway monk, and even if he gets the system, it doesn't mean that he can become a botanist.

With only a few points that Li Quan knew, collecting seeds was not as easy as he imagined.

For example, you can't expect to eat a watermelon and sprinkle the seeds into the soil to grow a watermelon next year, and spit out the grapes and sprouts in the spring of the next year. That's impossible.

The seeds of most plants need to be collected carefully and professionally, and some need to go through a series of complex germination processes before they can be used normally. During the germination process, it is necessary not only to prevent the seeds from being too humid and causing rotten seeds, but also to carefully control the temperature to prevent the seeds from losing water too quickly, and to recheck every few hours. It's as complex as taking care of a baby.

Before getting the system, Li Quan was just an ordinary high school student. How can he know about this kind of expertise? This kind of thing, in other words, is the same for everyone, and no one in life will spend all day thinking about how to germinate those damn seeds.

Li Quan does not plan to become a botanist for the time being, maybe after going to university, he will consider choosing a major related to plants, also for the sake of system development. Now, it's still the matter at hand.

This white quality gene fragment seemed to provide him with a feasibility, if she could really make plants produce seeds in large quantities, Li Quan would not mind learning one or two plant breeding methods, and then by implanting gene fragments, solve the seed problem that plagued him once and for all.

Just imagine, there can be so many inexhaustible Ningshen flowers or silver leaf grass seeds that can ripen endless herbs, Li Quan can't help but feel a little excited. If that happens, it's worth his time to learn breeding.

However, the system quickly poured cold water on him.

What Li Quan is thinking about all the time, the system knows everything. Even those ideas of Li Quan's occasional arrangement of the system, the system knows it clearly. At this point, Li Quan has no privacy at all. It's just that the system doesn't care about anything that has nothing to do with its rebuilding the world, just asking.

As soon as Li Quan had the idea just now, the voice of the system immediately came, and he simply said: "The host has ignored the problem of seed degradation. ”

Li Quan was stunned for a moment.

"Seed degradation problems?" He couldn't help but ask, "Can the seed still degenerate?" Does this have anything to do with my thoughts? ”

The system calmly replied: "The biological world is facing the problem of degradation, and plants are no exception. If you don't evolve, you will degenerate. Any plant that has been grown in a fixed environment for several generations will degenerate. Reflected in seeds, there will be a decrease in germination rate, a decrease in yield, and so on. The host's idea is generally correct. However, the host ignores the problem that the seeds of the systematic plants must also follow the laws of nature. ”

"What will happen?"

"Every time a plant produces a seed, the seed level regresses by one level and loses its original effect. And the plants themselves degrade. When degraded to its original state, i.e., without a system upgrade, the rate of degradation will be greatly reduced, but it will continue to follow the laws of nature and continue to degrade slowly and normally until it no longer bears seeds. Without intervention, the species will eventually become extinct. This is normal in the biological world. ”

"How so?" Li Quan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he couldn't help but think of the mana grapes he still left in the plantation, and hurriedly asked: "According to your meaning, all plants will be degraded, so those mana grapes in my plantation will also be degraded?" ”

"Yes. According to the system, those plants will begin to degrade after the next three fruits, and the yield will decrease rapidly. In addition, its seeds have deteriorated. Even if the host now collects their seeds, they can only get level 3 seeds at the moment. ”

Li Quan smiled bitterly when he heard this. Those are all grade 4 and 5 vines, and I didn't expect the degradation problem to be so serious. Not only will the yield drop rapidly after three times, but even the seeds will degenerate to the point of being useless, and the blue effect of the Mana Grape will only appear at level 4 seeds.

"Still underestimate the lethality of nature......" Li Quan couldn't help but sigh, and then asked: "System, is there no way to stop degradation?" ”

"Gene fragments that can be grafted into plants to add genetic stability." The system answers immediately.

"Oh? Increased Gene Stability? And this kind of snippet? Li Quan's eyes lit up.

The system didn't answer, but Li Quan knew that the system had defaulted. He couldn't help but touch his chin and nodded, and pondered: "If we can increase the genetic stability so that the plant does not degenerate, and then insert the reproductive genes to make it produce a large number of seeds, wouldn't it be able to solve the problem of the number of seeds?" It turns out that gene fragments can be used together like this! ”

This made Li Quan suddenly open up a lot of new ideas.

And the more he thought about it, the more Li Quan felt that gene fragments were really good things!

His mind couldn't help but open up completely, and a lot of strange ideas came to his mind. For example, stable genes + reproductive genes = solve the problem of seed quantity. How big can the crazy growth gene + expansion gene make a plant grow? Wouldn't shrinking genes + exploding genes become an excellent secret weapon for yin people?

And so on...... In the end, Li Quan was amused by his brain-opening thoughts.

On the farm, Li Quan waited until the farmer Wren had finished eating, and then found the other party to discuss the purchase of some whole crops. The reason Li Quan gave was that he was traveling and practicing with his teacher, Kanresad, and needed some samples of the whole plant for some alchemical research. Farmer Wren immediately agreed, and it was a trivial matter for him.

Li Quan then followed the farmer Wren to the field to pick, and the enthusiastic farmer Wren saw that Li Quan only pulled one of each crop, and heartily patted Li Quan on the shoulder and asked him to take more, saying that there was nothing else on the farm, and there were many crops, so Li Quan was not polite.

A whole plant is enough for submission, and it is useless for Li Quan to take too much, but he is still touched by the enthusiasm and simplicity of farmer Wren, and since he came to Nanhai Town, he has suddenly liked it. The people here made him feel that he was not a foreigner, and everyone was hospitable, and there was a heartfelt smile on his face when he saw him.

After farmer Wren repeatedly refused to ask for money, Li Quan still left him a large bag of hardcover chocolates, which made farmer Wren surprised and delighted. Speaking of which, these cheap earth goods are so popular in both Shining Gold Town and Nanhai Town, Li Quan now knows that chocolate is a luxury item in the human kingdom, and it can only be enjoyed by the nobles of the upper class. The only places where cacao trees can grow on the continent of Azeroth are the Valley of Thorns in the tropics, and the Oasis of Oldum, which is also in the tropics. It can be seen that even magic cannot go against the forces of nature.

With a large basket of peas, cucumbers, gourds, tomatoes, and a large number of unnamed crops, Li Quan returned to the hotel satisfied.

On the way, Li Quan completed his morning exercise, and now he insists on exercising every day, not missing any opportunity to enhance his physique.

When he returned to the hotel, Kanressad had already come down for breakfast, and when he saw Li Quan, he smiled and beckoned Li Quan to sit down, breakfast was Chef Jason's secret pancakes, fried turtle eggs and vegetable soup, which smelled fragrant and did not look greasy. After Li Quan tasted it, he couldn't help but give Jason a thumbs up, this place is much better than the food in Shining Gold Town, the chef of the Lion King's Pride Hotel loves roast lamb legs the most, which makes Li Quan's heart break when he sees it greasy.
