Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 66 - 65: Fear Pumpkin

After opening the recruitment interface, Lin You looked at it.

The recruitable species were still the same as before, but the recruitment cap had directly risen to 120, more than doubling the previous amount.

Considering that he might upgrade the Tower of Species to Tier Six later, allowing direct research to recruit Tier Six species.

He didn’t spend all his Magic Energy on recruitment then.

After all, he only had three thousand Magic Energy left, and he had to spend it sparingly.

Thinking for a moment, he only recruited ten Plant Elemental Spirits.

Looking at the light clusters appearing before him, Lin You directly used the Mutated Ability on one of them.

[Tier Five species mutation requires 100 points of Magic Energy. Do you wish to continue?]

"Yes!"

A flash of light passed, and the light cluster in front of Lin You changed rapidly, instantly transforming into a round... pumpkin?

Lin You’s expression froze, surprised to see a new species appear first.

He quickly checked the pumpkin’s information.

[Name: Fear Pumpkin]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Five (0/250)]

[Power: 0]

[Constitution: 50]

[Agility: 200]

[Spirit: 150]

[Skills: Plant Protection, Escape (Retract roots to roll away at high speed.), Sowing (Scatter pumpkin seeds to grow pumpkins at a designated location, even in harsh environments, edible.)]

[Introduction: Very timid, and will flee immediately when encountering danger.]

Lin You "..."

Seeing the attributes of the pumpkin before him, Lin You’s face darkened.

Fear Pumpkin?

So the one who’s fearful is you, huh.

In order to escape, you’ve maxed out your agility, haven’t you?

He didn’t expect that among the newly unlocked basic species, there would be such an absurd plant, almost made for comedic effect.

However, Lin You soon discovered the advantage of this Fear Pumpkin.

It can sow!

And it can grow in harsh environments!

Isn’t this exactly what his Territory is lacking?

Though pumpkins aren’t a staple food, they are still food, aren’t they?

Moreover, with their high sugar content, they are perfect for his people to cultivate.

"Come, try sowing seeds here."

Lin You pointed to a nearby empty space and spoke to the Fear Pumpkin.

Receiving the command, the Fear Pumpkin retracts its roots and rolls to Lin You’s feet, spewing yellow seeds into the soil.

Then it inserted its roots into the ground and joyously wriggled around near the pumpkin patch.

Lin You was amazed to see those pumpkin seeds.

In just a few minutes, a sprout broke through the soil, slowly growing under a glow of Fluorescence.

Lin You knew that this was because these seeds were planted near the Tree of Life, which is why they grew so fast.

If planted by the people, they likely wouldn’t have this Effect.

But even so, it was enough to promote planting among the people.

After all, ordinary plants simply can’t be cultivated here; only these seeds can be planted.

It invisibly solved a huge problem, highlighting the advantage of the Plant Type territory in such a harsh environment.

Moreover, clearly, this was a newly unlocked species after arriving on the Primordial Continent.

Because he hadn’t unlocked this species in the region before despite numerous mutations.

Then.

Lin You proceeded to mutate the remaining nine Plant Elemental Spirits.

The result was as he expected: the variety of mutations had increased significantly, even producing some variants like Fear Pumpkin, wheat variants, and potato variants.

And they all can grow in harsh environments, expanding his planting army instantly.

The remaining half mutated into those combat species he was familiar with, with no new occurrences.

Probably due to the small number of mutations.

It seems he’ll have to wait until accumulating more Magic Energy.

As for the remaining thousand points of Magic Energy, they’ll be kept for emergencies.

In case of emergency, he can immediately recruit Tier Five Wood Demon Dragons or Pink Demoness to fight.

The safety and food issues are more or less resolved now.

Next comes the construction of subsidiary territories, resource excavation, information collection, and exploration of the surrounding environment, among other tasks.

So many tasks to do; they are truly daunting.

Notably, after accumulating experiences on the road over the past few days, Cyan Rattan successfully advanced to Tier Six, and Mushroom Demon King also rose to Tier Five.

Tier Six Cyan Rattan extended the Vine Forest from the original hundred meters to two hundred meters, creating a terrifying and eerie forest outside the Yellow Sand City.

Seen from afar, it seemed to be the Tree of Life’s roots, and the people dared not approach even a bit.

The Mushroom Demon King goes without saying.

The Explosive Ability has grown exponentially, capable of blasting a large crater instantly.

And with its restless nature, had Lin You not held it back, it would have likely blown the territory to ruins.

He glanced at the bouncing Mushroom Demon King in the distance.

With a bitter smile, Lin You then sent the Wood Demon Dragon to inform Xue Changgui to send people over and to let the mutated plants start producing seeds for distribution among the people for planting.

After about ten more minutes.

Xue Changgui, with his steward, reached the outside of Vine Forest, somewhat frightened to enter.

To their amazement, those seemingly terrifying vines spontaneously cleared a path leading straight into Lin You’s territory.

Soon, the two arrived inside the territory.

"Why did you come? I said just have your steward come."

While collecting seeds, Lin You looked at the two.

"The Lord summoned me; I naturally have to come personally."

Xue Changgui said righteously, discreetly observing his surroundings, his eyes filled with awe.

It’s his first time seeing such an impressive Territory; even the previous Lord who came here didn’t have such scale.

Especially the peculiar plants within the Territory, which opened his eyes wide with surprise, and he respectfully bowed.

"I wonder why the Lord summoned me?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just giving you some food seeds to take back for the people to plant."

As he spoke, Lin You picked up several large sacks made of Beast Hide and placed them in front of Xue Changgui and his steward.

"This is..."

Xue Changgui and his steward looked puzzled at Lin You.

"These are seeds of wheat, pumpkins, and potatoes, specially prepared, and can be planted even in this Environment."

"They can be planted here!?"

Xue Changgui and the steward were shocked, unable to believe their eyes at the three bags of seeds before them.

It’s worth noting that their poverty is largely due to environmental issues.

Now Lin You informs them of seeds that can be planted in such an environment, making them too excited, even speechless.

"Oh, and I have a few demon corpses; you should call people to take them back for a feast for the people tonight."

As he spoke, Lin You took out previously stored demon corpses from his personal space, "Boom!" forming a small mountain of several demons.

The massive sizes ensured ample food for all five hundred people for one meal.

It startled Xue Changgui and others, quickly bringing them back to reality from the shock.

He said excitedly: "Great! I’ll call people to bring carts over immediately, thank you for the Lord’s generous gift!"

After paying his respects, he hurriedly left, joy overflowing on his face.

Before long, they returned to the city, spreading the news, causing a stir among the townsfolk, and mobilizing them actively.
