Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Green Covering the Desert

After recruiting the Reproduction Species, Lin You’s gaze fell on two plants on the other side that he had never seen before.

They were new species that appeared during the Mutation, so he kept them deliberately.

One was a glowing plant floating in the air, resembling a lantern.

The other was a moss similar to the Silver-Edged Grass but covered with hardened spikes.

Originally, Lin You planned to deport them and replace them with Combat Plants, but after seeing their Attribute Introduction, he changed his mind.

[Name: Lantern Grass]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Six (0/500)]

[Power: 0]

[Constitution: 295]

[Agility: 295]

[Spirit: 295]

[Skills: Infinite Reproduction, Fluorescence (The light emitted by the Lantern Grass has the effect of Group Healing.), Serenity (Absorbs all surrounding sounds and blocks the spread of sound.)]

[Introduction: A plant that can float in the air, it seems to be useful for creating atmosphere.]

…

[Name: Armored Moss]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Six (0/500)]

[Power: 60]

[Constitution: 60]

[Agility: 60]

[Spirit: 60]

[Skills: Infinite Reproduction, Symbiosis (Attaches to other Species, granting them all its Attributes and sharing experience.), Armor (Transforms into protective armor, greatly enhancing the host’s defensive abilities.)]

[Introduction: A moss that coexists with other plants, greatly enhancing the host’s strength.]

These two plants are not directly usable Combat Species.

But their Skills are very special.

The Lantern Grass, for example, provides illumination and sound absorption, along with Group Healing.

It is quite helpful for the Territory.

Moreover, there are no light sources in Lin You’s Territory, and it gets pitch black at night, which is very inconvenient.

So he decided to keep the Lantern Grass.

Then, after one session of Reproduction and Split, the Lantern Grass became eight.

They floated in various positions above the Territory, casting soft light around them.

Sure enough, as the Introduction said, it is very suitable for creating an atmosphere.

And the other plant, Armored Moss.

It’s even stranger.

Its own Attributes are not high, even embarrassingly low.

But its Skills are quite peculiar; it can coexist with other plants and transfer all its Attributes to them.

An All Attributes +60 boost is extremely powerful for a Tier Six Species.

The most important point is that it also inherited the Infinite Reproduction Skill, splitting directly from one into eight!

Considering the Armored Moss’s Skills are more defensive in nature.

Lin You then called over eight newly mutated Tree Spirit General Lifebodies and had the Armored Moss attach to them.

The Armored Moss, receiving the order, rapidly grew, spreading over the Tree Spirit Generals and covering them with a thick layer of moss.

It looked as if they were wearing armor, making them appear even more formidable and imposing.

Lin You checked the four Attributes of the Tree Spirit Generals and saw an increase of 60 points in each, surpassing even the Rare Species, the Wood Shadow Dragon!

“Not bad.”

Lin You nodded in satisfaction.

Although doing so would consume one more Species slot, it would create eight powerful Close Combat Species, which is not a loss.

Next.

Lin You once again recruited five Silver-Edged Grass, filling the Species slots to the maximum.

With Infinite Reproduction available now, he’s not short of Species for the time being.

It’s also time to address the issue of improving the environment around Yellow Sand City.

And as the plant with the scariest Reproduction Ability, Silver-Edged Grass naturally became his first choice.

Thinking about this, Lin You mounted his Wood Lion and departed the Territory, heading towards the gates of Yellow Sand City.

At this time, within Yellow Sand City.

Many had already received news of Lin You’s return.

As soon as he appeared near the gate, he immediately caught the attention of travelers and merchants.

“Look over there! It’s the Lord of Yellow Sand City!”

“The Lord of Yellow Sand City? I heard he just returned from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms. What’s he up to now?”

“It’s my first time seeing him in person; he really resembles the statue in the city.”

“It looks like he’s heading this way!”

The travelers and merchants near the gate exclaimed in surprise, making way quickly.

The guards stationed at the gate hurriedly rushed to greet Lin You, who was riding the Wood Lion, and respectfully saluted him.

“Greetings, Lord!”

“Are you… the ones responsible for guarding this gate?” Lin You dismounted from the Wood Lion and asked in confusion.

“Yes… Yes, Lord, we are newly enrolled members of the Guard, assigned here by Commander Wei to guard the gate.”

One of the new guards replied excitedly.

He was a refugee from Shuangye City who had been selected for the Guard due to his abilities and was now responsible for maintaining security in Yellow Sand City.

This was his first time speaking with Lin You so closely.

He was so nervous that he almost couldn’t speak properly.

The other new guards were similar, standing straight under Lin You’s gaze, their faces flushed.

They all knew very well.

If it wasn’t for Lin You, they might have starved in the wilderness or died at the hands of Demons, never enjoying the good days they now had.

So they both feared and respected Lin You, not daring to show any negligence.

Lin You didn’t know what they were thinking, but he nodded in understanding, saying, “I see, Wei Gang is efficient in his work. It’s good that you’re here, help me call over Xue Changgui and have him bring some people with excavation tools. Tell him I want to plant trees outside the city.”

“Yes! We will notify Manager Xue right away!”

The new guards responded loudly, quickly running into the city, causing the curious onlookers to whisper in wonder about what Lin You intended to do.

Soon, Xue Changgui arrived.

Along with him came over a hundred residents carrying various tools, quickly approaching Lin You.

“Lord, I heard you want to plant trees outside the city?”

Xue Changgui looked puzzled.

Although the water supply issue in Yellow Sand City had been resolved, changing the harsh environment would still take time.

Given the current arid soil around Yellow Sand City, transforming it into something cultivatable could take a long while.

Aside from the seeds Lin You provided, ordinary plants could not be grown, especially with severe soil erosion in many areas.

If Lin You hadn’t summoned him personally, he might have thought someone was joking.

Seeing his expression, Lin You could guess his thoughts and smiled:

“Since everyone is here, let’s wait for a moment.”

With Xue Changgui and the others looking on in bewilderment, he gazed towards his Territory.

The travelers and merchants outside the gate stopped their discussions, looking on with curiosity.

“Look! What’s that?”

A sudden exclamation broke the silence outside the gate.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, then they saw a large patch of greenery spreading from Lin You’s Territory towards the area around Yellow Sand City.

The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it came right up to Yellow Sand City and was expanding at a terrifying speed.

“It’s grass! Grass is growing!”

“This… how is this possible!”

“Grass can grow on this sand?”

“Am I seeing things?”

People murmured in shock, their eyes wide open.

While they were astonished, the patch of grass spread to the city gate, turning the barren land outside the gate into a sea of green!
