MTL - My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 557 3 plants, inflated ambitions!
at the negotiating table.
The displayed momentum is part of it, and the poor information obtained before the negotiation is part of it.
But in addition, it is more of a game that is revealed between the constant mutual testing after getting to the negotiating table.
Compared with the human beings who have been impacted by the information flow, Zhu Ling's game skills are much worse, but this does not mean that he does not understand the twists and turns inside.
When the words fell, he saw the stunned expression "naturally revealed" on Somo's face, he smiled with satisfaction, and he was glad that he had pulled back.
At the same time, he was a little scared in his heart.
Just an ordinary human being who is an unknown person in Heaven, who sees no threat, can have such a skill.
If Soma, the king of human beings, came over, today's situation would be even more difficult to end. When the real negotiation comes, I don't know how much to lose.
"Why, you are not very happy?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy, Lord Zhuling wants to invite you, it's really an honor."
Standing up with a strange face, watching the four Sun Di behind them hold back their laughter, showing a constipated expression.
Su Mo was overjoyed, and quickly changed the subject and followed behind Zhu Ling.
It's really hard to find a place to step through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Before coming to the treant territory, the most important task for everyone on this trip was to explore the bottom and negotiate to jointly attack the dwarf Blackrock Camp.
Unexpectedly, before this one really started, the task was easily completed, and the smoothness was unbelievable.
Stepping out of the hut, seeing Zhu Ling coming out first, Zhu Xia, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly greeted them with eager expressions.
"Hey, boss, it's over?"
Zhu Ling snorted with his nose and set his branches: "No, I'll take a few distinguished guests to see the treasures of the tree people. By the way, you can arrange a lunch, and I will treat a few distinguished guests well. arrival!"
He was embarrassed to say that he was being suppressed during the whole negotiation. Seeing Zhu Xia leading the way and leaving, Zhu Ling was obviously relieved.
Then, with a group of five people.
Everyone went around the hut and started to walk further inside the Thousand Tree King City.
Unlike the masonry walls of the outside world, inside, you can see vines spreading forward everywhere on the ground, moving their tentacles slightly.
Seeing everyone coming, the vines first touched Zhu Ling intimately, and then quickly dispersed as if the soldiers who had been ordered to make a way for everyone to pass.
"This is our city's first line of defense, guarding against vines. Its existence allows us not to worry about enemies sneaking in after sleeping at night."
"At the same time, the growth rate of this vine is also very impressive. We have derived three varieties at present. In addition to the alert vine, there are also anesthesia vine and healing vine."
"Although the narcotic vine does not have a strong attack power, it is entangled with it, and even the most powerful enemy will have a headache. The healing vine can be crushed and applied to the wound, which has a good effect on trauma."
Facing the vines everywhere, Zhu Ling said proudly at first, and then started to introduce the sales method like a salesman:
"At present, we do not restrict the sale of finished vines to the outside world, but the breeding method is kept secret for the time being. If Heavenly Court needs it, we can sell three kinds of vines at favorable prices."
"Just one fairy fruit, you can exchange fifty square meters of alert vines, or thirty square meters of anesthesia vines, and five square meters of healing vines!"
In terms of price, the number reported by Zhu Ling is not high.
According to the calculation that it takes only 50 ml of nether energy water to create a fairy fruit, it only takes one day's output from the well to replace enough vines for warning.
"Oh? What if we buy it back and create more varieties?"
After a pause, Soma answered curiously.
Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Ha, don't think about this, our vines are not the plants you know as humans, how do you create them without breeding methods, and besides, I have heard of your human hybridization. This method does have some effect on plants without souls, but on us, it is simply playing the piano to a cow.”
"Do you know what flows through our branches? Do you know where the soul of a plant is stored? Do you know how much it costs to cultivate a new plant? You know..."
Su Mo: "Including the golden silk green of Lord Zhuling?"
"Uh..."
After finally finding an opportunity to "reduce dimensionality", Zhu Ling originally wanted to criticize the hybrid method and show off his superiority as a higher plant.
But the next second, when he heard the words in Somo's mouth, his expression suddenly suffocated, and the unfinished words got stuck in his throat.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhuling, we are just making a routine inquiry. This is what our Lord wants. As for whether it can be done or not, who knows? After all, we have never come into contact with this magical plant, right!"
He was comforted unnecessarily by others. Seeing Soma lowered his head and touched the vines on the ground curiously, Zhu Ling opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
The ancient tree people really love peace.
But this is the slogan they shouted after they occupied an entire planet.
Before the occupation, in the face of other powerful plants, the tree people fought **** battles and relied on force to gain their dominance.
And this can also be seen from the fact that they chose the new continent as their territory.
Their ambitions are not as modest as they say, and their plots are no worse than other alien races in the New World.
But it's a pity that their current misery is stuck at this point.
Facing the few neighbors around now, once they can't use force to follow the example before to suppress everything, and they have to use their brains, this feeling of powerlessness will suddenly become stronger.
Because of the various characteristics of the ancient tree people, they could not spread out their territory like the dwarves, develop wildly, and rely on the number of people to occupy the advantage.
It is also impossible to be as flexible as the Demon Soul Clan, to enter their own clansmen into various clans, to continuously harvest information and send back a steady stream of resources.
Even if the Empire of Light launched a war so arrogantly, they couldn't do it!
The combat power of the tree people is very strong, but that is compared with other plants.
Once you encounter these aliens that you have never seen before.
Their attack methods can only be ordinary and simple physical attacks such as smashing, throwing, and pumping.
They are tall, but they will become natural targets for opponents.
Even their defenses are, in some senses, not much different from humans. Once they are "broken", they can only wait to die.
As a lord, Zhu Ling wanted to change all of this more than once.
In the past two months in the New World, his plans were obvious.
It is to use the technology of hibernating and quickly absorb other alien races in the early stage, and use it to the companion plant, the main combat tool of the tree people.
Wait until a group of companion plants that are adapted to the current environment are thoroughly cultivated, and then show their fangs and attack aggressively.
But the idea is often very beautiful, but the reality is very slap in the face.
Even the tree people did the best they could, and even absorbed human beings at all costs, and other alien races entered the territory and studied together.
In the mutation of companion plants, their progress is still poor.
"Maybe..."
With a faint thought, when he walked forward again, even Zhu Ling didn't realize that the hostility that he had always maintained had dissipated a lot.
Looking at the curious five people in the depression along the way, his tone couldn't help softening.
After a long while, after passing through a door made of vines again, he slowly said:
"Next, the distinguished guests are going to enter the super-large plantation of our tree people. Please don't disappear from my field of vision after entering, in case there is a misunderstanding."
"Also, I will tell you that some plants can be touched, and some cannot be touched, please do not go up to avoid accidents."
He shrugged his branches and greeted the two treemen guards at the door to retreat, and Zhu Ling walked inside first.
At first glance, Shuren's plantation looks somewhat similar to an artificial greenhouse on Earth. Once inside the plantation, Zhu Ling did not cover it, and pointed to the light yellow film in the sky first and said:
Gu "This film looks like a formed plant, but it is actually formed by the spores secreted by a plant after bonding."
"His role is very simple, that is, to adjust the temperature and humidity, so that the plants inside are not affected by extreme weather."
Su Mo stepped forward in two steps: "Oh? Can this thing keep a large area of heat?"
Zhu Ling shook his head: "I know what you mean, when you humans say minus 30 degrees, he can indeed provide a certain degree of thermal insulation to keep the temperature above zero, but after this limit, it will be There is no other way, at most, the temperature can only be raised by about ten degrees to maintain the heat inside.”
"This thing is worthless. If you need to use it to protect the planting land, we can give it away for free, as long as you pay the processing fee."
Feeling the obvious change in Zhu Ling's attitude, Su Mo was stunned for a while, and then showed a friendly smile, then lowered his head and continued to observe other novel plants.
The change in Zhu Ling's attitude was both expected and unexpected.
As early as the moment he discovered the attributes, Sumo had already fully understood the current constraints of the tree people and what Zhu Ling really needed.
Compared with the companion mutant plants that they desperately needed to turn things around, even the "fairy fruit" couldn't compare to it.
After all, the former can be applied to an entire tree human race, but the latter can only be applied to high-end combat power, which is more important, and Zhu Ling is naturally very accurate.
But what Sumo didn't expect was that Zhu Ling could react so quickly and lowered his body.
Even if Soma knew that they were desperate to build a human race, they would not hesitate!
"It seems that the tree people have worked hard during this period of time, and the effect is not expected to be good. This is obviously in a hurry."
Having come to this conclusion, looking at Zhu Ling, who was chatting away not far away, Su Mo's heart moved slightly, and some thoughts fell into his mind.
The visit time passed quickly.
Although there are many plants in the greenhouse, they are really useful, but not many can be applied to practical applications.
After all, the ancient tree people did not expect that the plants they cultivated would one day be traded to other creatures.
On the way back with Zhu Ling, Soma sifted through it a little and remembered three more important plants.
First, it is naturally the land flower that can upgrade the fertility of the land that I have seen before.
If such plants can be planted in a large area in the depression, it will definitely reduce the trouble of the villagers taking care of the land and make planting easier.
At the same time, the scale can also become larger.
Second, it is a flower that can accelerate the growth of plants, the Royal Flower.
According to Zhu Ling, this big imperial flower can significantly speed up the growth efficiency of plants and shorten the time of plants.
In the plant cultivation that takes several years at every turn, the Rhubarb is a must-have item.
In addition, Zhu Ling also bluntly said that this big emperor flower can speed up the growth rate of rice and wheat, which shows that it is a temptation to take the bait.
Thirdly, it is a spore plant that does not seem to be of great use, but in Soma's eyes, it is a spore plant with extremely high transaction value, Wanwei spore.
This spore plant, each time it matures, can split into thousands of fruits the size of the belly of a finger.
And the function of this fruit, as the name suggests, is the taste!
Ten thousand fruits have different tastes.
According to Zhu Ling's explanation, they have also made efforts to get rid of some bad tastes and keep the more delicious ones.
But it was very helpless. After so many years, the genetic sequence structure of Wanwei spore was impregnable.
It directly leads to every use of this thing is like opening a blind box. It is likely to have to try dozens of them in a row to find a useful one to add to meals, or to integrate into other plants.
"Here we are, in front of us is the cafeteria we used to entertain you."
"The food is poor, please don't dislike it!"
Following the leadership of Zhu Ling, the end point of everyone's visit finally landed in a wooden house in the inner city.
Do as the locals do.
As soon as he walked into the door, Soma smelled a familiar Chinese stir-fry smell.
In the room, there were still a few humans who had not finished their dishes. When they saw a group of people come in, they cast their gazes over curiously.
"Okay, let's all go down, I want to entertain the distinguished guests!"
Without giving Somo a chance to speak, Zhu Ling took the rest of the plate one step ahead and drove away everyone present.
After he put it down, everyone was seated.
There are not many plates on the dining table, but at a glance, there are no less than two hands.
There are fish, meat, a few plates of green vegetables, and a large bowl of rice and steamed buns.
Obviously, the tree people still thought a lot about this meal and did their homework.
"Lord Zhuling, thank you for your hospitality!"
After calling out the system identification and scanning it to confirm that all the dishes were non-toxic, Soma folded his hands together and made a standard thank-you gift.
Zhu Ling was the second alien lord that Soma saw in the New World.
Compared with Shi Ninja of the Demon Soul Clan, he is obviously much wiser and has stronger means.
Regardless of the position, for such a lord who is willing to lower his worth, not put on airs, and is willing to sincerely consider for the rest of the territory.
From the bottom of his heart, Su Mo still carried a trace of admiration.
"Eat it quickly, the food will be delicious when it's cold. When you're done eating, let's talk about the details."
Feeling the kindness emanating from Soma, Zhu Ling smiled relievedly, stretched out a branch and dragged a jug from the side to drink alone.
At this point, Soma, of course, would not refuse.
Along with him moving his chopsticks first, the four villagers in the depression who followed him instantly understood and began to feast on their food.
In terms of the taste of the food, the chef of the tree people is naturally a five-star chef who can't compare to the depression.
But with some unique condiments~www.novelbuddy.com~ and extremely fresh vegetables, even Soma devoured this meal.
He waited until the last pot of Baiwei Frog Soup was finished by Sun Di, and when the pot on the table was empty, Zhu Ling patted the floor with a smile, and the tree man who was guarding the door came in and started to clean up.
After a while, the table became clean again, leaving only three pots of sake on the table.
"I know that you Chinese people like to talk about cooperation at the dinner table. Come on, about cooperation matters, I think Lord Soma has given you a lot of authority, right?"
With a smile, he offered a new glass of wine, and Zhu Ling's eyes followed.
But the strange thing is that he was not looking at Sun Di who was sitting in the middle, but Soma who was sitting beside him.
Obviously, he also discovered that in the entire team, Su Mo is the one who can really take care of things.
After all, whether it was Soma's unique temperament, the inadvertent gathering of people's eyes while walking, and the calmness of conversation, they all confirmed his judgment time and time again.
"Yes, my authority is not small, but if you want to promote cooperation, you have to see the sincerity of Lord Zhuling!"
When the almost non-existent disguise was pierced, Su Mo was not surprised at all, instead he shook his head slightly, picked up the glass in front of him and drank it.
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly.
In the past, for the ally of the ancient Shuren, Soma still had the idea of finding a tool person.
But now, after observing the emptiness of the tree man and the internal social structure, his ambitions can't stop...
swelled up!
