Chapter 122: More Ripening Ideas

In Malfurion's treehouse, Li Quan began to carry out the most crucial step, implanting genetic fragments into the treeman.

In this process, he summed up two rules:

First, plants can implant an unlimited number of gene fragments, and under the mysterious harmony of the system, they will not produce any adverse rejection reactions. It's against the sky!

Second, only one gene fragment in the same direction can have an effect, and the lower quality gene fragment cannot cover or superimpose the higher quality effect. For example, if a green quality growth gene is implanted, a white quality growth gene cannot be implanted. On the other hand, Li Quan did not try to determine whether high-quality genes could cover low-quality genes, and he was really reluctant to experiment with precious gene fragments.

In the cultivation garden, Li Quan successively implanted two gene fragments into the level 7 tree man seeds, one is the growth gene (green) that increases the speed by 100%, and the other is the reproduction gene (white) that will cause plants to produce a large number of seeds.

The cultivation garden quickly cultivated a new kind of tree man seeds and submitted them to Li Quan, a total of 1,000 seeds.

[Level 7 Mutant Tree Man Seeds: Intrinsic Attributes: Extremely active, the growth cycle is shortened by 75%, the growth rate is increased by 1100%, and a large number of seeds are produced after maturity]

The attributes were exactly the same as he expected, seeing this, Li Quan couldn't help but nod again and again, and laughed, he was quite satisfied with this result.

"In this way, exchanging a level 7 mutant tree man seed only requires 70 contribution points, and with 1 liter of moon well water, it only needs 80 contribution points at a time, summoning thousands of tree people to come out, and each tree man will produce hundreds or thousands of seeds, and so on, until the seeds will be degraded. This process, which can last for about three generations, produces the number of seeds, uh...... Anyway, it's a lot, and it's still quite a good deal! It's a pity that if there is one more gene fragment that inhibits degeneration, it will be truly perfect and can be counted as a kind of conventional combat power. ”

Seed degradation has always been the biggest enemy that limits his mass production of plants of various systems. A high-level plant will quickly produce severe degradation after producing fruit multiple times, with a level 7 plant degenerating into a level 6 plant, and a level 6 plant degrading to a level 5 plant more quickly until it degenerates into a normal plant.

In nature, even ordinary plants are degrading all the time, but the degradation is very slow, and it takes tens of thousands of years for the process to have obvious manifestations, and people usually don't feel it.

For a plant like the Treant, which requires a strict seed grade, the degradation of growth rate is unacceptable and will eventually lead to a result that is not meaningful in real combat.

If you can add a genetically stable fragment, you can indeed solve this problem permanently. However, Li Quan, a guy who didn't learn mathematics well, obviously forgot the concept of multiple inflation. In fact, at least in terms of the Level 7 mutant treeman, he didn't need to worry at all, let alone implant any genetically stable fragments.

Let's do the math briefly:

The base number of Level 7 Mutant Treant seeds is 1000.

After implanting the reproduction gene, a large number of tree species will be produced, and the number of seeds of different species is different, let's count less, a level 7 tree person will produce 1,000 seeds (some plants have hundreds of seeds in a cell sac, and will produce thousands of cell cysts).

Simple multiplication, 1000 times 1000, equals 1 million, this is the first generation, it does not degenerate.

In the second generation, the seed base becomes 1 million, and 1 million is multiplied by 1000 to get 1 billion, and it will not degrade in the second generation.

Even if the third generation began to degrade the seeds, Li Quan also had 1 billion tree people to use at this time...... If it degenerates from the fourth generation, there will be 1 trillion treants......

I can't think of enough of it.

Therefore, as far as the level 7 mutant tree man is concerned, Li Quan has already formed a regular combat power in his hands.

If the gene stabilization fragment can play a big role, it really depends on what kind of plant is implanted. For example, if the number of basic seeds is very small, or if the gene is very unstable in a special situation, it is necessary to use a gene stabilization fragment to solve the problem of the number of seeds.

This is something to consider later.

At this time, Li Quan, who had just received the sweetness, was wondering if he would concoct the other two active plants, the holy vine and the ancient war tree, in the same way.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Quan could only shake his head and unwillingly put aside this tempting idea temporarily, thinking that the time was not yet ripe.

First of all, the weakness of the war ancient tree is not only the growth gene of green quality.

War Ancient Tree, just look at the name, you know, it must be an ancient tree. Under the premise of losing the time warp of the system plantation, if the War Ancient Tree wants to achieve the actual combat effect of "sprinkling beans into soldiers" like the Tree Man, this requires the War Ancient Tree Seed itself to have an extremely high base growth rate.

As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to increase the basal growth rate of seeds: 1. Higher grade seeds. 2. Implantation of gene fragments.

Neither option is currently possible. Li Quan estimated that he would have to wait at least until he could exchange level 8 or even level 9 seeds, so that he could have a good template, and the growth rate of level 7 seeds was a bit insufficient. Growth genes that are at least blue quality are also required. Only when the two are matched together can the ancient tree of war achieve the actual combat effect of maturing and forming in a short time. Otherwise there is no point at all.

As for the holy vine, Li Quan also pondered for a while. The preliminary conclusion is that the holy vine is better cultivated than the war tree, and that the vines themselves grow extremely fast, which is certain. However, Li Quan still has some concerns about Shengteng's performance in actual combat.

In the past, when fighting against the Cerberus, the holy vine summoned by Cenarius showed good movement restraint, restricting the activities of many Cerberus. But that's about it. The lethality of the holy vine was really limited, and he saw with his own eyes that many Cerberus escaped the confines of the holy vine and still jumped at him alive.

Due to the scarcity of resources at hand, Li Quan finally felt that the next step was to find a way to cultivate the ancient tree of war before considering the holy vine. The strength of the Ancient Tree of War was also what he had seen with his own eyes, and he would not be left behind at all by single-handedly taking on a dozen Cerberus. If he can ripen the ancient war tree and make hundreds of ancient war trees directly under the nose of the enemy when the battle begins, the scene will be picturesque......

Once Li Quan's thinking diverged, it was immediately out of control.

He then thought about what would happen if the "living" properties of the living plants such as the Tree Man, the Holy Vine, and the War Ancient Tree were implanted in other plants. That must be interesting!

For example, what happens when you graft the active genes of a treant to a cactus?

Will you get the cactus shooter from Plants vs. Zombies that shoots stingers?

Another example, grafting active genes to peas, and then turning into a pea shooter to shoot beans?

Grafting the active gene to the nut and adding an expansive gene will not become a nut wall?

Another example is grafting to cucumbers, cucumbers that will move on their own......

In just a short period of time, Li Quan thought of many feasible plans with a big brain, not to mention that there is such a perverted reliance on the system, and it cannot be said that there is no possibility at all to make these plant legions in Plants vs. Zombies......

Of course, these ideas can only stay in his mind for the time being, and whether they will work or not can only be tried later.

At present, the biggest restriction on him is undoubtedly that the gene fragments are too rare, and even the lowest-quality white gene fragments are not so easy to obtain. The lottery is limited by time and place, and the randomness of the task reward gene fragment is too large, and the only thing that is more stable is to extract it yourself.

Li Quan took a look at his personal situation and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Previously, he had more than 1,600 contribution points, of which 500 points came from submitting wheat from the Western Wilds, and more than 1,000 points from the harvest of the Emerald Dream. As a result, two growth genes were tossed out, and now there are less than 500 contributions left. I have to say that the operation of gene extraction is really a big money-eater, and the poor can't play it.

"Alas, after decades of hard work, I returned to the pre-liberation period overnight...... At the very least, I have to wait until I get the water of the Well of Eternity and get the 10,000 points of contribution before I have the confidence to toss. For now...... Forget it. You have to save some in case you need it. ”

While Li Quan was pondering, footsteps sounded outside the treehouse, and Malfurion returned a moment later.

Malfurion walked into the treehouse, and when he saw what was going on inside the treehouse, he couldn't help but look surprised.

Li Quan planted tree people in the tree house, and the noise was not small, so he almost demolished the house, and at this moment the house was in a mess, and the flower pots were broken several times - they were trampled by the tree people, and the dirt was scattered all over the ground, not only that, but the tree house, which was not very spacious, was already crowded with more than a dozen tree people, which suddenly made it difficult to settle in the narrow tree house.

When Malfurion came up just now, he found a few dry and unshapeable plants under the treehouse, and he faintly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere? When he saw what was going on in the treehouse, he was stunned.

"Ahem, what's that...... It's back. Li Quan greeted Malfurion with an innocent face.

"Prophet, are you alright? Was this place just attacked by the enemy? Where did these treants come from? In this situation, the only thing that Malfurion could think of was this reason, how could he have thought that this was actually a good thing that Li Quan did.

"Mmmm, there was a little accident." Li Quan said with a haha, "I summoned the tree man. ”

"You summoned it?" When Malfurion heard this, he directly put the problem of the tree house behind him, and he said with a look of envy: "Prophet, I admire your affinity for nature. If Mentor Cenarius knew that you could summon a treeman, he would be as surprised as I was! ”

"Where, where." Li Quan was afraid that the other party would shift the topic to the tree house again, so he directly diverted the topic and asked, "By the way, why did you come back, the civilians have all been transferred?" ”

"That's right, civilians from nearby villages, both Tyrande and I escorted them to Sulama. Prophet, come with us, Grand Magister Elisandr of Suramadu is stationed, and with the barrier of Surama City, perhaps we don't have to worry about the invasion of demons. Malfurion proposed.

Li Quan immediately shook his head when he heard this, this would never work. Not to mention that the Grand Magister Elisandr himself was unreliable, and later simply defected to the Burning Legion - of course, it was 10,000 years after the end of the War of the Ancients. However, he has recently made up for the history of Warcraft, although he mainly focuses on the history of the Black Dragon Princess, and the part about the battle of the ancients is only in passing, but he also knows that Surama will completely close the barrier after the war begins, and the archmage Alisander blocked the entire Surama with an arcane barrier, and even sunlight and moonlight could not penetrate it, so as to avoid the Burning Legion, and as a result, a city of eternal night was created, which lasted for 10,000 years. When 10,000 years have passed, the Night Elves who fled in Sulama City have been affected by the environment and have completely transformed into another race, the Children of the Night. But in the end, they still didn't avoid the Burning Legion, and for the first time they avoided the Battle of the Ancients, and after 10,000 years, the Burning Legion returned.

To sum it up, Li Quan didn't want to go to Sulama.

If he was accidentally locked in the barrier, wouldn't he not be able to get out for tens of thousands of years, the explosion of the Well of Eternity was avoided, but he would be trapped alive inside, and he was not an immortal elf.

So he had to make it clear to Malfurion that the idea of shrinking was absolutely unacceptable.

"What's that, angry wind...... Li Quan stepped forward and reached out to pat Malfurion's shoulder, and said earnestly, "The world is facing an unprecedented crisis, at this time, as a young man with three haves, a car, a house, and a child, uh...... No, as a young man with three haves, he has academic qualifications, background, and certificates...... It's not right, I think about it...... Well, as a young man with three haves, he has the ability, the ideals, and the responsibility, this time is right. Ahem, as a young man with three haves, shouldn't you think more about those unarmed people, in addition to you Night Elves, this world is still very vast, and there are many other people who are also facing the death threat of the Burning Legion. They are waiting for someone to step up and lead them through this. I see that your bones are strange, and you will be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future. At this critical moment when the world is in crisis, as the saying goes, if you don't go to hell, who will go to hell? The task of saving the world is up to you......"

Li Quan finished flickering in one breath, and Malfurion already had a look of shame on his face when he heard it, he lowered his head and said, "Prophet, thank you for your teachings!" I felt a deep remorse for my cowardice...... If it were my brother Illidan standing here, I don't think he would have hesitated to fight the enemy to the end, and Illidan always had more courage than I did. ”

"Yes, your brother will be much more famous than you in the future, but unfortunately it is not a good reputation." Li Quan didn't say this sentence in his stomach.
