Chapter 39 Second Mutation Xuan Ji picked five peaches,...
Xuan Ji picked five peaches and placed them in the arms of Su Sanyue, who was already stunned beside him. He said, "Why only five? Let me try again."
Another wave of energy rushed in, and the peach tree grew another circle, and ten more peaches grew on the tree.
Xuan Ji picked all ten peaches, and seeing that Su Sanyue could no longer hold them, he cast a spell to make them all float in the air.
Su Sanyue was completely paralyzed. In her mind, she said to the system, "I'm not dreaming, am I? System. In just a few minutes, a peach tree that blooms every 100 days and bears fruit every 100 days has borne fruit twice. How vast must his supernatural power reserves be?"
The system was also a little dazed and said, "This is too strong."
"But host, this is a good thing!" The system suddenly perked up and said, "He has already signed a recruitment contract with you. If he's strong, doesn't that mean you're strong too?"
Xuan Ji finished eating a peach, threw the pit on the ground, and took another peach to chew. As he chewed, he said, "When are we going to fight the Zerg?"
"We must first cure the mental illnesses of these grandparents, and then they will take us to the front line." Su Sanyue said.
Xuan Ji nodded, then concentrated on eating the peach without saying anything else.
Xuan Ji ate two peaches and felt that all the energy he had consumed had returned. His energy even grew stronger. He couldn't help but like the peach tree even more.
Seeing Xuan Ji eating the peach with such relish, Su Sanyue also felt a little greedy, so she washed a peach under the nearby automatic sprinkler head and took a bite.
After just one bite, Su Sanyue felt that the energy she had just consumed had returned.
Su Sanyue was cheered up and switched to her own special ability, intending to try the secondary mutation of the mutant plant.
"System, you said that we should try to perform a secondary mutation on mutant plants. Which mutant plant should we use?" Su Sanyue asked.
"The system recommends that the host choose a peach tree." said the system.
Su Sanyue was a little surprised. She had a deep understanding of how slow the peach tree was when it mutated for the first time. However, the effect of the peach tree's fruit was incomparable to that of potatoes and strawberries.
"Why choose peach trees?" Su Sanyue asked.
"Host, there is a chance that the secondary mutation will fail. The peach tree can accommodate and accumulate more energy, so the chance of success of the secondary mutation is higher." said the system.
Su Sanyue nodded and looked at the peach tree in front of her.
The first time he transferred all the supernatural powers in his body into the peach tree, there was no change in the peach tree.
Su Sanyue took another bite of the peach, replenishing her superpowers to full, and continued to input them. It wasn't until she had consumed all the superpowers of the peach that the peach tree's second mutation began to show signs.
Type: Mutated peach tree
Status: Flowering (99 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes, 54 seconds)
Second mutation progress: 1%
Xuan Ji seemed to sense some changes in the peach tree. He followed Su Sanyue's example and washed all the peaches at the automatic sprinkler head. He handed one to Su Sanyue, wanting her to continue mutating the peach tree.
Su Sanyue took the peach, took a bite and continued to input supernatural powers into the peach tree.
After eating a peach, Xuan Ji handed over another one, and another one, until Su Sanyue had shown off all fifteen peaches, and the secondary mutation progress of the mutant peach tree also became 15%.
"Host! Your ability level has increased!" the system suddenly said.
Su Sanyue looked at her panel and found that her ability level had indeed changed from level 1 to level 2.
But this is not surprising. After using superpowers continuously for hundreds of times, the proficiency in superpowers will increase and the level will naturally increase.
Xuan Ji stared at the peach tree, raised his hand and input energy into it. This time, the peach tree produced twenty peaches.
Xuan Ji picked the peaches, washed them for Su Sanyue, handed them to her, and motioned her to continue.
"Host, why don't you take a break? Using supernatural powers for a long time puts a heavy strain on the body." said the system.
Su Sanyue looked at the peach tree, then looked down at her hands. She took the peach and said, "I want to try again. I also want to see where my limits are."
The two stubborn ones, Su Sanyue and Xuan Ji, stayed under the peach tree for the entire day without even having lunch.
Xuan Ji kept letting the peach tree bear fruit, and Su Sanyue kept inputting supernatural powers into the peach tree. Finally, when it was almost dark, the progress of the peach tree's secondary mutation reached 99.99%.
"Ding~ Do you want to use 1000 kilograms of mutant potatoes to perform a secondary mutation on the mutant peach tree? Yes or no."
"System reminder: The secondary mutation has a high probability of failure, with a failure probability of 99%. Please choose carefully."
Su Sanyue's pupils shrank. What? She'd spent so much time, energy, and supernatural powers on a secondary mutation, and at the last minute, you tell me there's a 99% chance of failure?
The system said, "Host, the second mutation will produce a fairy-grade plant. Its performance is too extraordinary to be created casually."
Su Sanyue gritted her teeth. It had come to this point. What was the point in saying all this? She could only take a gamble!
"Yes, secondary mutation!"
Suddenly, the originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds.
Xuan Ji looked at the lightning in the sky with some surprise, and he actually felt a hint of pressure.
“Boom!”
A bolt of purple lightning descended from the dark clouds and struck the mutant peach tree directly.
A main branch of the peach tree was directly chopped off. The wound was charred and smoking. The branch fell down, breaking many small branches.
The dazzling lightning made Su Sanyue unable to help but put her hands up to cover her eyes. Xuan Ji formed a protective shield around him, wrapping Su Sanyue in it to prevent her from being accidentally injured by the lightning.
The thunder in the sky was still rumbling, and another bolt of lightning struck down, directly hitting the roots of the peach tree, making the whole peach tree shaky, as if it was about to fall down.
The system sighed and said, "Host, don't hold your hopes too high. It's hard for plants to survive the thunderstorm."
"Can I help it?" Su Sanyue asked.
"No. The thunder tribulation is the tribulation of this peach tree. If it survives it, it will become an immortal plant. If you help, its nature will change, which will directly lead to the failure of the mutation." said the system.
Su Sanyue stared at the peach tree, her hands tightly clasped together in nervousness.
Xuan Ji vaguely understood that he should not interfere, so he just watched from the side.
He lowered his eyes and saw Su Sanyue's nervous look. He sighed silently. If the peach tree couldn't survive, wouldn't Su Sanyue cry?
Xuan Ji quietly concentrated the energy from the ground beneath his feet to the bottom of the peach tree. Whether it could survive this disaster depended on itself.
Fortunately, the shaky peach tree did not fall down under the second thunder.
Another bolt of lightning struck the roots of the peach tree, and the already shaky peach tree collapsed.
This was the last thunder. The peach tree fell to one side, and half of its roots emerged from the soil, pointing fiercely towards the sky.
However, the system did not report the results for a long time. Su Sanyue saw the dark clouds disperse and the sky became clear again, so she hurried forward to check the condition of the peach tree.
Seeing the miserable state of the peach tree, Su Sanyue no longer had any hope that it could mutate successfully.
Suddenly, the system broadcast sounded, and Su Sanyue's eyes lit up.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully cultivating the first secondary mutant plant. Reward: +1 Talent Recruitment Contract, +20 Top-Grade Special Fertilizer."
Su Sanyue squatted down to investigate. Only two tiny roots of the peach tree were still firmly grappling with the ground, straining to absorb energy. Above them, beneath the fallen, charred main branch, a tiny bud had sprouted. It was so tender, it looked as if a single gust of wind would tip it over, yet it remained incredibly resilient.
"Huh, it's still alive." Xuan Ji also saw the little bud and couldn't help but say.
"Yes, it's still alive!" Su Sanyue said excitedly.
Su Sanyue checked the peach tree after the second mutation. After seeing the mutation effect of the peach tree, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Type: Peach Tree
Status: Growth stage (999 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 54 seconds)
Mutation direction: Longevity (eating one pill can extend life by 100 years, and the effects can be accumulated)
No wonder the second mutation caused three lightning strikes, which were meant to kill people. With such a miraculous effect, if there were too many of these plants, the whole world would be in chaos.
In this interstellar age where the average person lives to be 300 years old, eating a peach can extend one hundred years of life, and the number of peaches can be accumulated. In other words, if you have countless peaches, you can basically achieve immortality.
"This is too incredible! This is too incredible!" The system circled around the peach tree and couldn't help but say, "Host, the effect of these peaches is too incredible!"
"System, why didn't its flowering time change even though I added top-grade special fertilizer?" Su Sanyue asked.
The system said: "Host, fertilizer is no longer effective for secondary mutated plants."
Xuan Ji also walked around the peach tree and placed his hand on it. His energy had no effect on the peach tree.
Xuan Ji sensed the changes in the peach tree, and his eyes looked at Su Sanyue with much deeper eyes. This fairy plant, something even his ancestors had only heard of but never seen, she, a human being, actually grew it!
Fortunately, it is planted on his body. His body will provide the fairy plant with the ability to grow, and the fairy plant will also give him more vitality in return, a win-win situation.
Xuan Ji once again sighed at his good luck. He found such a unique and powerful human collaborator for the first time.
Su Sanyue also said in her heart: "System, this peach tree has mutated a second time, and it will take more than eight years for it to grow peaches. If I want to eat mutant peaches, I still need to get a few more mutant peach trees."
"Host, you can exchange for a few more peach saplings. With your current energy reserves and four mutant peaches, you'll soon have a mutant peach tree." The system said, "It's best to plant them near the peach trees. It will be beneficial to them."
So Su Sanyue exchanged for three peach seedlings and planted them near the peach tree. His mental power had been drained, and Su Sanyue planned to control their mutation tomorrow.
Su Sanyue, who had exhausted herself, returned home, washed up simply, and threw herself on the bed.
But her heart was still filled with excitement, and she tossed and turned on the bed, grinning foolishly.
