Chapter 35: Advancement
[Skill (Runner), Spatial Perception Lv1: You can sense the fluctuations in the space around you. 】
[Obtain the professional skill (Gardener), Psychic Sense Lv1: You can perceive the spirit of life around you.] 】
With the breakthrough of spiritual attributes, these two skills jumped out of Lu Ping'an's panel.
“...... Judging from the description, they are all qualified passive abilities of 'you can do so-and-so'. With these, the door is open for you. ”
Their appearance is not accidental.
Only when the spiritual power reaches a certain level will it be possible to perceive the surrounding space and life externally.
Others must first meet the hardware standards before they can gradually sharpen their skills and train their mental power to perceive the outside world and master professional skills.
But Lu Ping'an has accumulated experience, and it can be used if the conditions are met.
But now, happiness came too fast, but Lu Ping'an was a little troubled.
"Originally, there was only one runner to choose, but the gardener seemed to be okay, which one to get first?"
[Black Iron Level Spell Shrinking the Ground, Requirements: Chasing Light Running Lv4 (Thunderstorm Direction), Swift Breathing Technique Lv4 (Tiger Fury Direction), Spatial Perception Lv1, Shrinking Ground Experience 100/100. 】
The runner's parts had been gathered, and Lu Ping'an could feel that with just one thought, he would be able to master the shrinking ground and complete the progression from mortal to supernatural.
However, the gardener's components are almost made up before you know it!
[Black Iron Level Spell Listening to Life, Use Conditions: Planting (Taboo) Lv4, Spiritual Perception Lv1, and Cultivating 10 Demonic Plants of the First Order or Above with His Own Hands.] 】
Although the last condition is very delicate, I have asked Chrissy about Lu Ping'an and made sure that I met the standard.
And his current gardener professional skill is planting lv3 (88/100) and grafting lv1 (12/100).
Although it is not enough for the standard of lv4, it will definitely be enough if there is no accident after tomorrow's sharing.
"I thought that gardeners would have to wait for a long time, but I miscalculated, the training of gardeners and runners is not the same thing, and not all professional skills increase equally."
The runner's "running method" and "breathing method", as long as they run, will be exercised, which is naturally an average growth, and Lu Ping'an subconsciously regards it as the normal state of vocational training.
Gardeners are obviously biased, and nine out of ten low-level gardeners will only plant and cultivate magic plants.
Grafting, transforming magic plants? That's the daily work of the bigwigs, the researchers.
Not to mention that most of the transformation and grafting of demon plants are failures, and the resources consumed by low-level professionals cannot afford to play at all, and the "knowledge" required for transformation is the most expensive cost.
Even the gardener's first-order professional ability does not require "grafting" as a basis, which shows that this is indeed a relatively late professional skill.
Lu Ping'an's "grafting (pollution)" was able to break through to lv1 and earn 12 experience points, thanks to the hard work of Miss Zhao Ying, who stayed up late to do the project and write the paper.
Judging from the results, it was the deformed partiality of the low-level gardeners, and the blessing of the secret realm of life was shared, so that Lu Ping'an's "planting (taboo)" had more than doubled the expected growth, and later came up to the advanced standard.
"Chrissy, listen to life....... Is this the gardener class ability you said about 'Communicate with Plants'? ”
"Yes, but it should be combined with another professional competency, which is to communicate rather than listen unilaterally. But when you really get to the next level, it's enough for the low-level gardener to listen, and that's actually no different from communication. ”
"So, any suggestions? Which one am I ahead of? ”
Lu Ping'an is eager to try, and becoming a superpower is also a tempting thing for him.
Rather than waiting for tomorrow's gardener, he wanted to complete the advancement now.
“...... Didn't I tell you? Professionals, and most importantly, checks and balances ......."
"Two together? I've heard others say that every time you advance, it's a qualitative pollution impact, and it takes a long time to slow down? ”
Lu Ping'an has heard that career advancement is a controllable change, and many people will lose half their lives even if they succeed in advancement, and often have to rest for several months or even half a year.
"You said it was 'someone else'....... The gardener comes first, it is your main path now, the thickest of the tangled vines, and it needs to be rooted deep enough. ”
"That's why you want me not to have more than 3 part-time jobs before I determine the main path?"
"Not exactly, there are many other reasons, but you don't need to know it now, and you don't understand it......"
The rest of the words didn't mean much, and after determining the direction, Lu Ping'an's plan was also decided.
After agreeing with Xue En on a plan to return at noon tomorrow, Lu Ping'an honestly rested and prepared to sleep.
The waiting time is always full of anxiety, and when the appointed time arrives, Lu Ping'an completes his qualitative change and takes that step.
"It's so easy......."
The same system prompt as swiping the screen is ignored for the time being, but when Lu Ping'an activates the "ability", the whole world becomes different.
All life is alive. The forest that used to be peaceful turned out to be so noisy.
Bright flowers swayed gently in the wind, and the wild garden was bright and prosperous, but they rushed to say to the bees
"My nectar is the best, let me pollinate and reproduce."
The giant trees that rise from the ground are tall and majestic, gathering into a forest of green trees, supporting each other, but the real thing is to roar at the companions around them.
"My sunshine! That's my sunshine, I'm going to grow the highest, get more light. ”
The vast meadows, the thousands of plants, all seem to make the same sound.
"Water."
"Food (nutrition)."
"Sunshine."
"My Turf (Living Space)."
In the original living world, Lu Ping'an was only moved for a moment, and was pulled back to the mortal world by the amazing noise that surpassed any vegetable market.
All the plants are crying out for the resources they need to survive, and survival and reproduction are the only themes in this forest.
“...... In the future, whoever tells me 'selfless plant' again, I will fool him. ”
But at this time, Lu Ping'an also knew why Chrissy said that "listening to life" was enough for himself.
These plants, which only thirst for survival resources, have no basis for intelligent biological communication.
In fact, they do not speak out loud, nor do they have the organs to make sounds, or even the tools for logical thinking.
It's just Lu Ping'an's spiritual induction that captures their instinctive "thirst" and embodies it.
This is a fairly useful ability for novice gardeners, and it will be much less difficult to take care of your flowers when they are noisy for water and sunlight and insect infestations.
[The class ability Listening Life (Black Iron Lower Spell) has been awakened, please reverse anchor it as soon as possible to determine the direction of the cost of the ability.] Otherwise, it will be possible to determine the 'cost' on its own. 】
At this moment, the forcible intervention of the system is very uninteresting.
But Lu Ping'an knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if it was really "random", the fun would be great.
"Anchor death, the sacrifice is at hand......."
There are checks and balances between professions, and in order to avoid the ability of the profession from getting out of control, internal checks and balances are also needed, but this checks and balances are seen by many as "costs".
In general, the ability anchors to a competitor or enemy of the same kind.
That is, a life-based ability like Lu Ping'an will either find other gods in the life-based system to anchor (compete), or find the opposite of life-based death.
Just like the shovel before Lu Ping'an, the price is death........ In a sense, life and death are two sides of the same coin, and they are also grouped into one of the six major systems (life/death system).
[Ask the host to identify the sacrifice and manually perform the anchoring ceremony.] 】
The ritual of reverse anchoring is fairly simple, and the gods are happy to put an end to the adversary and competitor.
Lu Ping'an just killed something at random, and then recited the name of the god, and completed the anchoring.
But in an instant, the system swiped the screen again, and it actually made the "price" that should be random and casual also optional!
Lu Ping'an only glanced at the three items, and was secretly glad that he could choose.
"It's no wonder that the secret keepers attach so much importance to privacy and integrity, some of them are really fatal, some are just a little troublesome, and if they are unlucky, one price can be fatal......... In this way, the stronger the ability, the more weaknesses there are? ”
"The price should be well hidden."
The anchoring was completed after the selection, but Lu Ping'an noticed a surprise, or rather, a fright, on the system panel.
[The host is in the secret realm of the daughter of the forest, and has completed the advanced gardener path of his subordinates, because this advancement is the first official entry of the host, the host has obtained the blessing of the master of the secret realm, the daughter of the forest (the will of the secret realm simulant personality). 】
[Blessing of the Life Domination of the Daughter of the Forest (Black Iron Rank): Greatly increases the affinity of the blessed and the demon plant, increasing their controllability. Note: This blessing will dissipate after one day, but the effect will be greatly increased for the duration, equivalent to the Silver Blessing. 】
[Message: Sister loves you, what you want to do, just do it!] 】
Lin Ping'an was stunned, and even frightened.
Is this accidental? Or did He really see through everything?
"That X-son who pretends to be a god! This is her usual method, and those who are the gardeners of her secret realm who have advanced for the first time will receive a continuous short-term blessing, so don't take it seriously. ”
Chrissy's reassurance was timely.
But in the isolated island, she actually has some doubts.
“....... Aren't the blessings of new students all for some long-term and inefficient garbage blessings, and small favors to win people's hearts? It's not going to be explosive in the short term, right? Is it really...... There's no reason, she can't see through it! Besides, if you see through it, you will be killed a long time ago! ”
The road outside is safe, but he is at ease, and with his ability, he naturally wants to try it more.
Ordinary plants didn't mean much, and he looked at the objects of his ability to use them.
"Sure enough, you are also thirsting for resources to survive and reproduce."
"Huh? Strange, in addition to water and nourishment, you are still thirsting for me? What do you need in me? You can't take life points a second time. ”
“....... Oh, what's in my warehouse? The essence of life? Originally, it was used like this....... Interesting, so funny! ”
Lu Ping'an smiled, he had already seen what would happen next.
"Okay, Sister Goddess, maybe your guess is true, right away, you'll have fun watching it."
