The plant seeds that Wang En carried with him were indeed of a very high grade, not the kind that ordinary people could buy in seed shops.
However, after carefully reading the seed's characteristics description, Lin Xu had some doubts.
Because the seed is called "Golden Vine".
The unique feature of this vine is its ability to absorb iron powder and iron particles, and then transform them into gold.
Although this process is somewhat unscientific, anything can happen in an island world, so the existence of such a plant is not surprising.
Lin Xu was not puzzled by the special features of this plant, but rather by why Wang En had created another channel for producing gold.
The knight's duty should be to serve Chen Shaojie, so why does he always dabble in gold that doesn't increase combat power? There are no banks during the beginner phase, so you can't exchange gold for anything!
Thinking this way, Lin Xu realized the problem again.
Since Wang En is Chen Shaojie's knight, his secret acquisition of gold might not be his own will, but rather a demand from Chen Shaojie.
Is that noble young master trying to collect gold?
But even if Chen Shaojie was in charge of this, what was his purpose in getting the gold?
Lin Xu had doubts in his mind, but he couldn't think of an answer for the time being.
However, since Chen Shaojie and his group want gold, this material must be of great importance. It would be good to try to collect some myself.
Lin Xu looked at the seeds of the golden vine, his eyes gleaming.
In fact, he was quite interested in island seeds in any form.
He hasn't forgotten how he acquired his life-saving abilities.
As long as these seeds are planted in fertile soil with multiple layers, there should be a chance of obtaining supernatural fruits.
Therefore, a new island seed might represent a new superpower.
Lin Xu no longer cared whether the gold was useful or not. He decisively found a place and started stacking fertile soil to create blocks that were stacked a hundred times larger.
Then he called Tao Yao over and asked her to plant the vine seeds one by one.
These high-grade seeds are obviously very valuable, and even though Wang En is a noble knight, he only prepared 50 of them.
Lin Xu didn't want to plant these seeds himself, otherwise most of them would be wasted.
Tao Yao flew over excitedly when she realized she had a mission.
Upon seeing the vines, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face:
"These aren't peach-type plants, are they? Master, what's the point of growing these things?"
Lin Xu reached out and touched Tao Yao:
"Of course it's useful. This plant can enrich the variety of products on the island, and it might even condense into supernatural fruits. You might gain a companion in the future because of it."
"companion!"
Tao Yao's eyes lit up.
Since she became close to Xiaoyu, she no longer resists the birth of other Pokémon, but instead looks forward to the appearance of new types of Pokémon.
"What would it be like to meet new companions?"
Tao Yao was filled with anticipation and began to daydream.
Lin Xu:
"Alright, get to work first, and then you'll see what your new teammate looks like."
Tao Yao snapped out of her daze and her expression turned excited again:
"Okay!"
Peach Blossom began to sow golden vines.
This vine is quite large, with its rhizomes at least half a meter wide and half a meter long.
Moreover, these vines have sharp thorns on their surface, so Tao Yao has to be very careful to pick them up and plant them.
Such precious plants have a relatively low survival rate when cultivated and require special environments to grow.
However, under the fertile soil that is a hundred times thicker, no plant can be picky about its environment. These vines take root immediately after being planted and begin to spread into the ground.
On the ground, the vines began to grow rapidly upwards along the trellis that Lin Xu had laid out, growing more than two meters tall in a short period of time.
Lin Xu had been observing the sowing of the peach trees.
This elf's talent for farming is indeed impressive. Even when sowing such high-end plants, it has never failed and has successfully planted all fifty rhizomes.
After planting, Tao Yao was still a little unsatisfied, feeling that there were too few seeds and not enough room for her to do more.
Lin Xu praised Tao Yao and began to stack the fifty vines on top of each other.
A hundredfold increase in fertile soil can give plants a chance to undergo a qualitative change, but this qualitative change still requires the plant itself to accumulate the soil to more easily trigger advanced changes.
The fifty vines, which were originally piled together in a twisted manner, began to overlap and merge at this moment.
In the end, the fifty vines merged into one, becoming one with the fertile soil below.
The entire vine suddenly began to twitch rapidly, starting from the base and moving upwards, undergoing a swift transformation.
The grayish-black plant skin of the vine began to peel off, revealing a golden outer skin underneath.
Instead of growing along the trellis, the vines squeezed the trellis into pieces, and began to grow branches, roots, and leaves like a shrub.
Then flowers began to gather on some leaves, blooming into golden flowers that looked almost exactly like roses.
Eventually, the entire vine transformed completely, becoming a large cluster of golden roses.
Information about the plant popped up in front of Lin Xu's eyes:
[Fifty Layers of Golden Roses]
[Introduction: What species is this? And what did you do?]
[Function: A plant that absorbs metals to create gold. This plant has also awakened some strange properties that may be very helpful to its owner.]
【Characteristic 1: Golden Petals. The flowers of this plant are made of pure gold. Simply melt the flowers to obtain pure gold.】
[Characteristic 2: King of Metals. The branches of this flower possess a special ability: they can consume gold and freely manipulate other metals. Conversely, they can consume other metals to create pure gold.]
[Trait 3: Rose Sword. This plant has a special fondness for swords. Planting sword-type materials under its flowers will yield a golden sword of the corresponding attribute. This longsword will enhance the power of golden-type abilities.]
Lin Xu frowned slightly upon seeing the properties of the new plant, showing a hint of disappointment.
After all, the characteristics and functions of this rose seem rather ordinary. Compared to the peach tree, the rose seems to have little use in other aspects besides being able to produce gold.
However, Lin Xu then noticed a note below the plant:
[This plant will definitely produce a golden superpower fruit immediately after it is born. After feeding it enough metal ore, once a sufficient quantity has been accumulated, it will continue to produce similar superpower fruits.]
Lin Xu's mood improved slightly.
Sure enough, planting island seeds in fertile soil makes it very easy to obtain supernatural fruits.
With just this one new superpower, his efforts have not been wasted.
Lin Xu looked at the golden rose, waiting for the flower to condense into a supernatural fruit.
The next moment, the very top of the rose bush began to change, the flower growing larger and larger until it finally withered and fell to the ground.
Where it was originally, a huge golden fruit materialized, which was the Golden Ability Fruit.
