Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 324: Panshu Mutation
Emerald City, Room 3101.

The controller is projected onto the image on the wall.

On the winding tree, Aqi and Nige were eating and chatting.

"They don't look like lovers, but more like friends. I thought they would be passionate right away."

Qian Su drank a can of sweet orange juice with a look of regret on her face.

Zhou Yi didn't care.

Whether they are lovers or friends, that is Nige and the others’ business.

However, seeing that the Mud Tree Man finally made friends - not only Aqi, but also the tree monster Ye Qing, he felt a lot more relieved.

Zhou Yi has also been asking Nige to learn the local language and characters so that he can make friends and integrate into life in the wasteland world.

But he was always reluctant.

It wasn't until Aqi appeared that Nige immediately took the initiative.

"What a beauty!"

"What strong shoulders! Long arms, very flexible hands, big feet, good appetite, and looks full of energy!"

"Among the Mud Tree People, women like this are the most popular, with great figures!"

"Chairman, can you help me check her situation?"

"no problem……"

Beauty inspired Nige to change.

He took the initiative to learn the local common language of the East Continent, and even began to learn written characters.

Relying on his extremely strong memory and his excellent physical qualities of A-level strength, the Mud Tree Man quickly mastered the basic terms.

While Nige was still stuttering, Zhou Yi and Qian Su played the roles of two anonymous friends.

They found Aqi and talked things out to avoid misunderstandings due to language communication problems.

"Since there is no problem here, Chairman, I will set off with the mission tonight to redeem the two grandfathers in heaven."

Qiansu flattened the can and put it into the recycling bag beside her.

"Go early and return early."

Zhou Yi said: "If you need anything, contact Hongshun."

Now with the Chunqiu Merchants Group’s in-flight service, we can stay in touch remotely.

"Yes."

Qiansu went downstairs, drove the truck quietly into the Dead Sea, and headed north.

She had been gone for half a month, saying that she had encountered some emergencies and was stuck in the process of paying the ransom, so it would take some time to rescue her.

After one or two years of perfect management, the express delivery center has already been put on the right track.

When Qian Su was out, she temporarily handed over the management of the center to A Wei. He was Jacob's roommate, and he also started as a worker in the light soot department, and finally transferred to the express delivery department, and gradually gained recognition and reuse.

Awei also manages various affairs in an orderly manner.

……

One day, Zhou Yi was cleaning and maintaining his right arm prosthesis when he heard a rapid knock on the door.

"Yuanxiao, open the door."

The angel of death opened the door.

The person outside came in with his head down.

"Chairman, Panshu, Panshu has mutated!"

Nige bent his tall body, his face full of excitement.

"Go and see."

Zhou Yi immediately rushed with him to the area where Panshu was located on the east coast.

The one that mutated was the first Pan tree planted.

Today, its height is nearly 30 meters, and its trunk is wide and thick. The winding crown has become extremely dense, with a diameter of hundreds of meters, forming a ring structure that looks more three-dimensional.

But from the outside, there is no difference.

"The fruit is different now."

Nig pointed at the gray fruits on the branches.

Zhou Yi then noticed that the Dead Sea Fruit had grown significantly in size, with the largest one approaching the size of a human brain. In addition to breaking the size limit, some of the fruits also had different colors.

Three of them are light white, and one fruit is green.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is it the different colors formed by the reflection of the death light?"

"Yes."

The Mud Tree Man nodded: "This is a mutation, a common mutation in the Mud Tree Civilization! Usually only the Sky-reaching Tree can achieve this! But I don't know why this happens!"

Another voice came from the treetops.

"The Dingtian tree is the result of a highly variable form of the Pan tree, but the Pan tree itself has similar functions, but in a recessive state. The Dingtian tree is the result of a completely dominant form."

Zhou Yi discovered that the sound came from the mistletoe on the tree.

"Ye Qing?"

"It's me, Mr. Zhou."

The tree monster who changed the parasitic tree said: "Nige and I have taken advantage of each other's strengths and jointly cultivated this Pan tree." "The planting method of the Mud Tree Civilization is highly dependent on the local environment. There are too many high-quality trees growing naturally there, and we just need to select the right tree."

"This also caused them to be at a very backward stage in terms of fertilizers, water conservancy and in-depth knowledge of soil. They did not develop a true farming system, but only continued to extend and develop vertically based on natural collection."

Ye Qing added: "However, the Mud Tree Civilization has a wealth of experience in growing and grafting various local trees, far more than we have here."

"I tried to transform the environment of this tree in a targeted way according to the scale of a super-large fruit tree, introducing artificial watering, using a lot of fertilizer to cultivate the soil, pruning branches and leaves, and doing pest control..."

"This also allows this Pan tree to start rapid secondary development and rapid growth."

"Because I am in a symbiotic state with it, I can clearly detect and sense its specific condition."

The tree monster further elaborated: "Its growth rate is highly related to nutrition, and it has a microscopic structure with extremely strong strength and elasticity. Without human intervention, it will take about fifty years for it to reach maturity."

"However, as long as the outside world provides it with the various trace elements it needs and replenishes it with water in time, this cycle can be greatly shortened. It has ample energy, which will also act on the strengthening and mutation of the fruit."

"In fact, every fruiting is like a gestation for it. The internal nutrients, hormone levels and energy absorption, as well as the external environment of soil, temperature, light, fertilizer, shaping and pruning, and insect control will affect the fruiting of each branch."

"After our intervention, the fruit is now noticeably fuller and more mature, and more prone to complete mutations - rather than the incomplete mutations of the previous fruit."

Incomplete mutation is the result of the activation of human organs by those few fruits, allowing the human body to possess the power of an enhancer for a short period of time.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If it's such a complete mutation, can it completely transform the human body?"

"You could say the same thing."

The tree monster explained: "Incomplete mutation is like an egg that has not fully developed. Its own power cannot be completely encapsulated, so when it is used by the outside world, it can gain this power, but it will be gone after it is consumed."

"Complete mutation, giving the fruit specific stable characteristics and effects. Although this ability is not as exaggerated as becoming an enhanced one, it is more gentle and usable."

"Like the common sense banana, it is the result of a complete mutation."

It is equivalent to losing a short-term special power and replacing it with a special fruit that can be used stably and for a long time.

In terms of security, the latter is more secure.

Zhou Yi looked at the four special fruits on the tree: "What are their functions?"

“These two fruits.”

The tree monster propped up the mistletoe vine and pointed at the two Dead Sea fruits that were reflecting a faint white light: "They are extremely nutritious. If you eat them for a long time, they can improve your physical fitness."

“You can try it.”

Nige picked a ginkgo nut and handed it to him.

Zhou Yi discovered that after leaving the tree, the Dead Sea fruits lost their luster and all looked the same.

He used the small cone on his prosthetic right arm to crack the shell, then chewed the white flesh inside and swallowed it.

The scent is a little stronger.

Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly fixed.

HP +20
This thing... can actually increase the intensity of life.

Zhou Yi looked at Ni Ge and the tree monster Ye Qing: "Can each of these fruits enhance life?"

The tree monster said, "Yes, it is stable."

"This is a mutation in the natural environment. The Pan tree has not been grafted. As it continues to grow, its vitality continues to increase and become more vigorous. It is stable and simple."

"But it will take some time to fully digest it."

Nige said: "We used to eat the fruit from the Dingtian tree. We ate it from childhood to adulthood, so our bodies are better than those of people in this world. No wonder people here look so thin. Those women look like children, so short."

Zhou Yi: “…”

It turns out that the mud tree people are not only well-nourished, but they also take drugs since they were young, and their health points are increasing rapidly. No wonder an adventurer has A-level strength.

Compared to the fertile tree world where the Mud Tree Civilization lives, the Earth in the Wasteland Age can be described as a poor mountainous area.

"What about this one?"

Zhou Yi pointed at the Dead Sea Fruit that was emitting green light.

The tree monster said, "This is the same, but with a higher intensity."

Zhou Yi picked the green fruit and ate all the white flesh inside again.

HP +140
The effect is much stronger.

According to the tree monster and Nig, the health value increased by the Dead Sea Fruit will take a long time to digest and absorb. Depending on different physical conditions, the degree of absorption will also vary.

However, Zhou Yi absorbed it all after taking it.

He guessed that it was because of the body of Bai Suanni that it was able to quickly and completely absorb all nutrients.

Zhou Yi asked: "What is the yield rate of this mutant fruit?"

"Not sure."

The tree monster said: "According to the current situation, the yield rate of white fruits is between 5% and 10%, and the yield rate of green fruits is even lower. This tree has produced 34 white fruits and 2 green fruits in one round. However, if the tree is further cultivated, the yield will be further increased."

The probability is a bit low.

But this is long-term training.

Eight Pan trees, that’s a lot when added together.

按照1光种能够提升10点生命值计算，那1白果就是2光种，1绿果更是相当于14光种，价值已然不低。

"From today on, the company will establish the Mud and Tree Civilization Department. Nige, you will be the department head and give full play to the strengths of your civilization. Ye Qing, you will be his deputy, and I will talk to Mr. Shu. The salary will refer to the Ministry of Agriculture."

Zhou Yi immediately said: "You two, the most important task at the moment is to cultivate the company's eight Pan trees so that they can produce more white and green fruits! Work hard!"

"Yes, Chairman!"
