Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 212 - 211: Deceitful Transformation, Deceit
Since I want to mutate the high attribute Symbiotic Moss.
Naturally, I have to choose the right mutation target.
Among all of Lin You’s species, the Royal Species have the highest attributes.
But the problem is, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to use the Royal Species for experiments.
"That’s right!"
Suddenly, Lin You thought of something and couldn’t help but look at the Deceit Willow in the territory.
Because of the territory’s upgrade to Tier Seven.
Currently, the Deceit Willow has also upgraded to Tier Seven, with its size significantly increased, and the willow branches have become more resilient and slender, even sprouting countless sharp thorns.
[Name: Deceitful Willow]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Seven (Upgraded with the territory)]
[Power: ???]
[Constitution: ???]
[Agility: ???]
[Spirit: ???]
[Skills: Deceitful Transformation (can copy the attributes of any species and demon, the target’s level cannot exceed its own level.), Soul Incarnation (a close connection with the Tree of Life, turning its location into a part of the territory.), Cunning (the mastery over Soul Power allows it to alter its aura, making enemy species perceive it as an ally, gaining their beneficial statuses.)]
[Introduction: A plant adept at controlling Soul Power, closely linked with the Tree of Life, it can be used as an incarnation of the Territory Core.]
At Tier Seven, the Deceitful Willow has acquired a new skill.
And it’s an unusual skill, unexpected by Lin You.
It can change its soul aura, causing enemies to mistakenly treat it as an ally, and even benefit from their buffs.
This is simply an excellent life-saving skill.
Because once perceived as an ally, it generally won’t be attacked by them, and won’t suffer from many negative states.
Almost like changing from a hostile state to a neutral one, it feels like a bit of Rule Power.
However, what Lin You needs now is its first skill, Deceitful Transformation.
Because he suddenly realized.
If the Armored Moss inherits this skill, couldn’t it change its own attributes!?
It’s quite possible!
Previously at Tier Six, because the upper limit wasn’t high, the attribute gap between the Armored Moss and other species wasn’t too large.
Plus, the need to reserve Magic Energy for territory development kept him from being too extravagant.
But now it’s different.
He has 7 million Magic Energy, and the Tier Seven Species has the Royal Cyan Gang.
After the Deceitful Willow reached Tier Seven, it can copy Cyan Gang’s attributes!
The more he thought about it, the more Lin You’s breathing quickened.
If the Armored Moss with Deceitful Transformation skill could copy the Cyan Gang’s attributes, what would it become?
He didn’t dare imagine.
His actions weren’t slow either, directly causing a mutation in the Deceitful Willow.
[Mutating Tier Seven Species requires 2500 Magic Energy, do you wish to continue?]
As expected.
Once the species reached Tier Seven, mutation consumption spiked.
The cost jumped directly from 250 to 2500 points, recruitment should be the same.
But with his abundant Magic Energy, this small amount was affordable.
Without hesitation, he replied "Continue" and retained the Deceitful Transformation skill.
The next second.
The Deceitful Willow was enveloped in light, gradually transforming into a swaying sunflower.
[Name: Fierce Sunflower]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Seven (Upgraded with the territory)]
[Power: ???]
[Constitution: ???]
[Agility: ???]
[Spirit: ???]
[Skills: Deceitful Transformation, Photosynthesis (convert sunlight into the Power of Nature, infusing it into other species, restoring half their Power of Nature, effect doubles on sunny days.)
Focal Length of the Sun (concentrate Solar Power to a point to burn enemies, causing penetrative flame damage, effect doubles on sunny days.)
Scorching Sun (gather Solar Power to create a little sun in the air, lasting 14 seconds. During this time, the environment is treated as sunny, accelerating the recovery of allies’ Power of Nature.)]
[Introduction: A plant highly attuned to sunlight, capable of unleashing immense combat and support abilities under sun exposure.]
Another new species!
And its skills are quite unique.
Its power is affected by the weather, and the skills even synergize, adding a fresh twist.
Considering the occasional need for emergency Power of Nature recovery.
Lin You decided to keep this Fierce Sunflower and recruit a new Deceitful Willow for mutation.
For a time.
Light continuously illuminated the territory, the Deceitful Willow’s appearance constantly changing under the influence of the mutated ability.
And each transformation cost Lin You 2500 Magic Energy, extremely expensive indeed.
After nearly one hundred and fifty mutations, the plant finally, under the shroud of light, transformed into the form of Symbiotic Moss.
"Phew—"
"Finally succeeded."
Lin You wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This single Symbiotic Moss cost him nearly 400,000 Magic Energy.
The mutation chance was shockingly low.
But the rewards were enormous as well.
This Symbiotic Moss, while lacking the Infinite Reproduction Skill and unable to Split,
it inherited the Deceitful Transformation skill.
At his command, the Symbiotic Moss directly copied the attributes of the Cyan Gang, undergoing a major transformation.
[Name: Symbiotic Moss]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Seven (Upgraded with the territory)]
[Power: 1000]
[Constitution: 1000]
[Agility: 780]
[Spirit: 780]
[Skills: Deceitful Transformation, Symbiosis, Armor, Natural Infusion]
[Introduction: One of the Equipment Species, this moss coexists with other plants, greatly enhancing the host’s strength, defense, and recovery abilities.]
Lin You was incredibly excited.
Unexpectedly, this bold idea turned out to be feasible.
Moreover, after the experience points of Cyan Gang were accumulated, besides the two attributes that were already maxed out, the other two attributes were also increased to nearly 800.
Surveying the surroundings of the territory, his gaze finally locked onto Cyan Rattan.
"Go, symbiosis with Cyan Rattan."
As the words fell, the symbiotic moss beside him quickly spread onto Cyan Rattan, replacing the moss with the multiplication skill.
In an instant, Cyan Rattan’s attributes suddenly surged.
"Boom!"
A dramatic sound erupted, and the entire territory inside and out began to tremble.
With the explosive increase in attributes, the vines of Cyan Rattan began to grow rapidly, spreading outwards.
The commotion even alarmed the residents inside and outside Yellow Sand City, who stopped and exclaimed, thinking something major was happening.
And the attribute interface of Cyan Rattan appeared before Lin You’s eyes.
[Name: Fearful Beldam·Cyan Rattan (Royal Family)]
[Race: Plant (Hero)]
[Level: Tier Eight (362/5000)]
[Power: 2300 (+1000)]
[Constitution: 2500 (+1000)]
[Agility: 450 (+780)]
[Spirit: 2100 (+780)]
[Skills: Devouring, Blood Poisonous Mist, Forest of Fear, Bloody Frenzy]
[Earth’s Gift: Wound recovery speed increased by 50%]
[Introduction: One of the three branches of the Banshees of Corruption, Fall, and Fear, a terrifying plant born for war, whose blood can greatly stimulate its potential, growing braver with each battle and exerting tremendous mental pressure on its enemies.]
With power and constitution above 3000 points.
Although it might not match Tier Nine, it has far exceeded the scope of Tier Eight.
Combined with several beneficial auras, its attributes are absolutely explosive!
When Cyan Gang uses a Barbaric Roar, wouldn’t it soar directly?
Lin You was thrilled, as this would give him the capital to stand among those old Tier Seven Lords.
As long as he doesn’t encounter someone with many Tier Eight Species, or a lord like him with unexpected abilities like Mutation, he shouldn’t be afraid.
It’s just that the cost is a bit high.
But considering the potential major battles in the future, there’s nothing to be frugal about.
After a brief rest, he continued as before, using the same method to recruit Deceit Willow for Mutation.
By spending approximately 1.1 million magic energy, he created three more Symbiotic Moss to symbiosis with the other three royal species.
Suddenly, Lin You had four peak combat powers.
Especially Cyan Gang and Mushroom Demon King, whose average attributes directly soared to around 2000 points, equivalent to two more Tier Eight Species.
And his magic energy decreased to 5.5 million, still within a manageable range.
However, he also discovered a problem.
The symbiotic armor created from Deceit Willow couldn’t reproduce.
It’s equivalent to using positions for two species to create a peak combat force.
Invisibly having one less species than other lords would affect the strength rankings, a point that must be noted.
So, what he needed to do next.
Was to quickly research Silver-Edged Grass to Tier Seven, then recruit enough Tier Seven reproduction species to fill the numbers.
Thinking of this, Lin You closed the recruitment interface and swiftly operated within the territory management.
[Materials for upgrading the Tower of Species to Tier Seven have been gathered. Do you wish to upgrade?]
"Upgrade."
Before heading to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, the territory’s mineral resources had accumulated to over fifteen thousand.
After deducting the upgrade consumption, more than ten thousand remained, so there was no immediate concern about insufficient resources.
Accompanied by his words, a light shone within the territory, and the Tower of Species was finally successfully upgraded to Tier Seven.
[Building Name: Tower of Species]
[Building Level: Tier Seven]
[Building Introduction: Allows research on evolved forms of existing species to make them recruitable, requiring magic energy consumption, and species levels cannot exceed building levels.]
[Research Speed: 10 days]
[Requirements for Upgrade: 10,000 wood, 10,000 stone, 5,000 iron ore, 5,000 copper ore, 50,000 magic energy, Tier Seven Territory Essence x1]
"Ten days?"
Lin You looked at the new attributes of the Tower of Species in surprise.
After upgrading to Tier Seven, the research time became longer.
Even the materials required for upgrades increased sharply, requiring a Territory Essence as well.
It seemed that after surpassing the Tier Seven threshold, many things started to transform dramatically.
No choice.
To recruit Tier Seven Silver-Edged Grass, he could only wait ten days.
Although his Tier Six Species only needed about twenty days to upgrade to Tier Seven, he couldn’t guarantee that nothing major would happen in those extra ten days.
Therefore, it was still better to recruit Tier Seven directly when the time came.
After all, Tier Six Species were now of little use to him.
If something major occurred, he couldn’t afford to wait either.
Besides, he wasn’t short of those hundreds of thousands of magic energy.
He glanced at the darkened sky outside.
He then casually assigned the research task for Tier Seven Silver-Edged Grass and returned to the treehouse to rest.
...
Early the next morning.
Lin You woke up at first light.
As he stepped out of the treehouse, the first thing he saw was the just-risen sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves into the forest, making him pause for a moment.
He’d forgotten that the surroundings of his territory had turned into a forest.
As far as the eye could see, all around were towering trees, looking vibrant and flourishing.
Even the plant species within his territory ventured out to play in the forest, curiously following the traveling merchants and travelers, or climbing to the treetops to sunbathe.
In the sky, Demon King Dragon and Demon Consort Dragon flew back and forth.
Initially, those traveling merchants and travelers were quite frightened.
But upon learning that these were the species of Lin You’s territory, they gradually relaxed, starting to adapt to the surrounding environment.
In the distance, Xue Changgui was leading people to repair roads within the forest.
Extending in four directions with Yellow Sand City as the center.
Two leading into the duchy, one leading to the Gobi Desert, and one leading to the mountains.
Inside the city.
There were many children playing and climbing the trees that had grown in the streets, some even starting to build treehouses.
It truly was harmonious...
Lin You smiled slightly, then retracted his gaze, left the treehouse, and went down into the territory.
