“...... Failed? ”

Looking at the black ash on the ground, Lu Ping'an was a little helpless, but even more, it was heartache.

A mod requires ten shards, which is at least ten points to start, and every time he fails, it hurts his heart.

“..... Definitely, or something. ”

Here, it is a botanical garden of the "courtyard" and a test field for Lu Ping'an.

Different from the previous humble fields, this place has been repaired by the big cat and is very spacious, and under the neat stone pillars, there are square experimental fields.

In the subdivided field walkway, there are various pipelines, including but not limited to "pollution pipelines", "nutrient pipelines", "water pipelines" and so on.

On the side shelves, there are also various "lamps" that provide a variety of natural environments, including "sunlight", "polluted light sources", and "shadow sources".

After gaining the ability to mature, Lu Ping'an did not indulge in the simplicity and speed of the ability.

Instead, he spent a lot of money and effort on the plantation, taking the "regular gardener" route..... Of course, just this piece of life beyond the secret realm of the forest has nothing to do with the so-called "conventional" and "ordinary gardener".

After clarifying his abilities and distinguishing his advantages and losses, since he decided to take the "gardener path", Lu Ping'an did not plan to skip class, but made up the foundation little by little.

He knew that in the beginning, what he skipped would eventually find him at a price several times over.

"To know why fusion failed, I'm afraid we have to start with why fusion succeeds and how my ability works....."

Finally, after another failure to "bet on dogs", Lu Ping'an came back to his senses and returned to the basis of the experiment - re-analyzing the principle.

"Trading, in the final analysis, is a collection of 'gifts' and 'gains'......"

The upgrade of talent ability at the beginning was not illogical, on the contrary, it can be seen from the system prompt of Lu Ping'an's ability upgrade.

The sublimation of the concept of "life transaction" is more similar to the collection of two actions: "life gift" and "acquisition (feedback)".

"I gave the Demon Plants their vitality beyond normal, and they completed their instantaneous maturity and evolution, and at the price, their essence after death was left behind."

This is also similar to the essence of gardening, planting plants, waiting for ripening, and harvesting fruits.

And the "fruit" obtained, the condensation of the vitality of the demon plant's life, is the so-called life essence fragment.

It is incorporeal, or only the "life bank", can completely preserve this conceptual "essence".

Then, the bank fused the concept and synthesized the processed complete essence, which was given to another magic plant.

"The more I learned about the 'gardener' profession, the more I felt that this perfect 'fusion' was completely incomprehensible."

The fusion of two by two, which can give birth to new types of magic plants, seems reasonable, but in fact, it is still the power of the life bank.

First the "acquisition of essence", then the "harmless gift", and finally the fusion of the two and the birth of a new species.

In principle, it makes sense, but at the technical level, any gardener will spray you in the face.

This is equivalent to a cat meeting a dog, and it is directly merged into a cat and dog that combines the advantages of both parties..... What about species isolation? What about rejection? The process of fusion/mating to obtain offspring? Can you talk about DNA and science?

Or, to put it more bluntly, draw a cat and a dog, and put them together to become a new species..... Why don't you draw antlers, snake bodies, eagle claws, etc., to spell a dragon out.

"Perhaps, this is the essence of my power, the concept of transaction, the ..... of giving and acquiring for both parties."

Probably, only at the conceptual level can we make "cats" + "dogs" become so-called "cats and dogs", so that one magic plant can completely inherit the advantages of another magic plant.

Secondary investment in the acquisition of new species is far more outrageous than the ability to mature in seconds.

The day before yesterday, those gardeners and professors were really frightened, they knew how difficult it was to develop a new species, and they couldn't understand how the student in front of them succeeded.

"Oh, I'm not going to scare them, am I..... Forget it, it doesn't matter. ”

Lu Ping'an continued to develop his own ability, and gained a lot along the way, the only problem is that this ability is too expensive.

10 essence fragments require 10 life points, and all of them will be reimbursed if they fail, and if they lose too much, it is impossible for Lu Ping'an to accept them if they directly lose their life for a month.

Lu Ping'an tried to ripen the second-order demon plant, but what he gave was still fragments, and the same ten were in a group.

And since all the fusions of the 2nd order failed, and the failed ones were all particularly heroic (turning to ashes on the spot), there was no difference to be seen.

Tier 2 Demon Plant Seeds are not only very expensive and difficult to obtain, but they are basically out of control instantly after successful ripening, and they can only be given up in the end.

The strange thing is that the second-order demon plant that Lu Ping'an fused with himself has a very high affinity for himself, at least he will not attack himself.

It is worth mentioning that even the second-order demon plant that is matured with the seeds of the fused demon plant will also bite back instantly.

So, maybe in the process of "trading", the two parties formed a natural trust?

This obvious differential treatment made Lu Ping'an a little headache, which meant that he might not be able to use the demon plant at will.

High-level gardeners have the ability to communicate with plants and affinity, and should be able to make up for this shortcoming, but Lu Ping'an obviously has no time.

Third-Order Demon Plant? The failure is more complete, and all direct investment failures are the same as those who invest in third-order professionals.

Eventually, the first-order gardener can only return to the first-order.

But it's a pity that even if it is fused with a first-order demon plant, it still fails continuously..... Even the "recipes" that were stable in the past have an extremely high failure rate!

"What's missing, why do you always fail? Didn't you succeed once before......"

Even if the Demon Plant longs for some kind of mod, the final result is still a failure to merge and both return to the earth.

Knowing how to succeed and how to fail, Lu Ping'an felt that he was still missing something, the "glue fusion agent" needed to "fuse life".

Lu Ping'an vaguely understood, maybe the temporary BUFF given in the secret realm was something more important.

"Then, the so-called Demon Plant affinity and control are the necessities of the gardener's path to a higher level?"

Perhaps this short-term buff is as valuable as a permanent passive buff, as it allows professionals to "try" high-level abilities in advance.

This not only points out the direction of the future for professionals, but also inspires breakthroughs.

Take Lu Ping'an's "Ability Fragment" as evidence, try it, and if you don't do it, it will really become what you can have.

Lu Ping'an asked the big cat if he still lacked anything, but the answer he got was very subtle.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand the specific things of the gardener's path."

"Some professions are absolutely impossible to work part-time, and once the strong work part-time, the weak will be swallowed in an instant. The gardener department of the magic plant, compared to the beast tamer/healer department of the demonic animal. ”

Helpless, Lu Ping'an could only rely on his own groping.

He actually secretly went to the secret realm in the forest to farm the BUFF, but he didn't even have the option to "get the blessing" when he underrated it twice.

Time is running out, and it can't be wasted like this anymore.

He began to smash points and forcibly expand his armaments, hoping that the final ranking gains would make up for the attrition.

Time and points are consumed bit by bit, and the acre of field in front of him, as well as a field of ash, is all he has harvested.

In addition to the twisted poison whiskers and explosive thunder, he developed a hybrid demon plant along the way, and integrated it into his combat style during actual combat training.

Of course, there is also the crazy rise in "planting" and "grafting" skill experience points, this time Lu Ping'an is not simply out of nothing.

Gambling on dogs, not good death, should be a declarative sentence for road safety.

"One last time, one last time...... Come out to the old man! My SSR!"

Another 10 life points smashed down, Lu Ping'an closed his eyes, and didn't even dare to look at the result.

“...... Finally, another one succeeded. ”

This time, it seems that it was a fluke, and a new magic plant appeared on the ground.

"Although the fusion is not as perfect as the previous two strains, at least it can be used....... Oh, there's another way to deal with the enemy. ”

There are four fusion magic plants (second order), as well as a rich variety of first order and level 0 magic plants, which are enough to surprise your opponents.

Unlike the newly awakened gardener in the secret realm that day, the current Lu Ping'an has transformed all the resources he can obtain at hand into combat power, and his seed bag is already full.

"Now I should be stronger than in the knight's secret realm......"

But as a price, the 90 life points used up in the experiment have exceeded his survival and investment consumption these days.

The decreasing number of life points also made him heartbroken, and he had to stop all "dog gambling behaviors".

"Let's play again when we make up for the defects and increase the success rate of fusion....... This is a game of fate, and with such a high failure rate, I really can't afford to play. ”

Finally, it's time for the final round of testing.
