Astral Cockroach

Following Banbu's instructions, Baiba held onto Baba and scanned the ordinary Xun Grass life seed.

After Banbu was promoted to Mountain Lord, the Xun Grass life seed had 63 tillers, each exceeding 1.5 meters in height with robust leaves, long surpassing the influence of the four seasons and not withering in autumn or flourishing in spring.

In the past year, Datou had used a lot of Realm Tree remnants for it. The number of tillers hadn't increased, but it had started sprouting leaves in the spring, with individual heights exceeding 2 meters and tough, sturdy stems tending towards lignification.

"Banbu, is this the ordinary life seed you mentioned?"

Banbu replied, "Yes."

Baba was silent for a moment, then said, "Its genes are very strange… The primal force food it produces is definitely lower in quality than primal force plants born in nature, right? But it has grown recently, so the quality will be much better."

Banbu said, "Yes, the quality is lower than naturally born primal force plants."

Baba said, "Its genes have obvious traces of modification. It was forcibly transformed and can never surpass natural primal force plants. However, it can barely be included in the ranks of primal force plants. If it can be mass-produced, that would be quite amazing."

"Unfortunately, it cannot be mass-produced." Banbu asked, "Baba, how is its growth?"

Baba replied, "Extremely poor. Insufficient nutrient intake. I suggest using… This is a planet without technological civilization, Banbu. I suggest you appropriately reduce the amount of Realm Tree remnants."

Banbu asked, "How much is appropriate?"

Baba replied, "I need to collect more data."

"Understood." Banbu turned to Datou and instructed, "Datou, from now on, halve the amount of Realm Tree remnants used for the Xun Grass life seed. I'll bring Baba over later to check and adjust the amount as needed based on the situation."

Datou readily understood and replied, "Got it, Banbu!"

Banbu continued, "Baizhu, take Baba and scan the White Jade Mulberry life seed."

Baizhu immediately hugged Baba and happily ran towards the White Jade Mulberry life seed.

Due to the Realm Tree remnants promoting growth, the White Jade Mulberry plant had exceeded 5 meters in height. The nutrition couldn't keep up, and the flower spikes produced this year were fewer.

"Banbu, is this called White Jade Mulberry? Its growth is extremely poor. I suggest using Realm Tree remnants once a month. I need to continuously observe and collect data to set a specific amount for it."

The "extremely poor" evaluation was not unexpected.

Banbu felt no surprise.

According to human standards, no life form on the entire Lizhu Peak could be rated "Excellent". Those rated "Good" were few and far between, and most were in the "Poor" and "Extremely Poor" states.

However, doesn't this better demonstrate Baba's value?

In the future, Baba will develop detailed eating and growth plans for the members of Lizhu Peak, and cultivation and irrigation plans for the plants of Lizhu Peak. Banbu would be satisfied if they could achieve "Good", even if they could only achieve "Poor", it would be great to get everyone out of the "Extremely Poor" state.

…

Banbu led Datou and Xiangpu to inspect the mountain peak.

Baizhu followed along the way, holding Baba.

After spending a day touring the entire Lizhu Peak and inspecting all the plants,

they finally arrived at the wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed. Unknowingly, it had broken through the genetic constraints of the "Cliff Cypress Tree" plant species, and the tree's height exceeded 45 meters.

Datou was still using Realm Tree remnants to promote its growth, and all the nutrients were used for growth. It had hardly bloomed this year.

Currently, Banbu placed the greatest hope on this arborescent God-given Seed. Without waiting, if properly managed, it would probably complete a transformation and evolution in another ten years.

"Banbu, you used B231 plant gene fluid on it!"

Baba immediately made a judgment after just one scan.

Banbu asked, "Is there a problem?"

Baba said, "Too much gene fluid was used… Fortunately, you also used a large amount of Realm Tree remnants to replenish the primal force nutrients needed during the gene modification process, otherwise… it might already be dead."

"Uh…" Banbu's heart tightened, and he asked, "What about now? Is it in extremely poor condition?"

"Not extremely poor." Baba pondered for a moment and said, "Very dangerous. Continuing like this may lead to death…"

Banbu asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Immediately stop using Realm Tree remnants." Baba explained, "While Realm Tree remnants replenish nutrients, they also have the effect of promoting rapid plant growth. It has successfully passed the most dangerous stage and no longer needs to replenish nutrients. It needs time to accumulate energy, and promoting growth is harming it!"

"Understood! Understood!" Banbu quickly instructed Datou, "Datou, starting today, stop fertilizing the wild Cliff Cypress God-given Seed."

"Understood." Datou worriedly said, "Banbu, I feel that the Cliff Cypress God-given Seed is in particularly poor condition. Is there any way to help it?"

Banbu turned to ask, "Baba, is there any way to help the Cliff Cypress God-given Seed?"

Baba thought for a while and said, "There is no other good way, only to waste some growth time. This planet has four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It is currently entering the height of summer, and it should be able to slowly survive the weak period by absorbing sufficient sunlight."

"The swamp residue and swamp water you use as fertilizer are barely acceptable. Usually, pay attention to watering. Water less and bury more swamp residue."

It's good as long as there's no life-threatening danger!

Banbu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Baba, do you have any other suggestions?"

Baba pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to sunlight and water, carbon dioxide is the most important for the growth of carbon-based plants. Banbu, you can build a thermal power plant at the foot of the mountain, cut down forests, and burn trees to generate electricity. The most important thing is to provide carbon dioxide for the plants on Lizhu Peak."

Are you sure there's no ulterior motive in this suggestion?

"…" Banbu said, "I am an environmentalist. I'll forget about things that destroy the natural environment on a large scale."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Baba said distressedly, "Banbu, your mountain range has no wind most of the time!"

"There is a lot of wind in autumn." Banbu said, "Baba, you should know that wind power stations are the simplest to build. Don't worry, I'll think of a way to get a few more electrical boxes and source crystals, and build a hydroelectric power station in a more distant place."

"Okay." Baba said, "Banbu, let's go down the mountain to see Tata again."

Baizhu remembered the name "Tata" in human language. Upon hearing this, he directly ran down the mountain with Baba in his arms.

Banbu thought for a while and planned to gather Datou, Daxiong, Xiangpu, Baizhu, and Huoji after finishing these two days to teach them some simple human language.

Going down the mountain, Baba attempted to communicate with Tata.

Tata's soul had now fallen to the level of a high-level warrior. It could receive sound waves and understand their meaning, but needed mental power as a bridge to transmit thoughts.

Baba was an electronic life and had no divine sense.

Tata could understand Baba's words, but could not respond.

The two could not communicate as they once did.

Baba suggested, "Banbu, Realm Tree remnants are Tata's predecessor and have the highest compatibility with it. You can give it more, so it can grow quickly."

Banbu's mental power swept across the soil, and he saw that Baizhu had secretly taken a lot of Realm Tree remnant powder and buried it under the Tata tree.

The amount was more than any other God-given Seed.

The effect was significant. In the past month, the Tata tree seedling had grown from 1.6 meters to nearly 2 meters in height, and seemed to be in good condition, thriving and able to eat and drink.

Banbu asked, "Baba, how is Tata's condition?"

"Poor." Baba said, "The average temperature on this planet is slightly lower. Summer is its growing season of the year. In addition, Tata trees originally grew in extremely water-scarce areas. You are watering too much. In the future, don't water it at all. The drier the soil, the better."

The Tata tree had always been taken care of by Baizhu. Banbu planned to leave it to him to take care of in the future, so he relayed Baba's suggestion to Baizhu.

Banbu also asked, "Baba, is it said that Tata trees only bloom and bear fruit once every eight hundred years?"

"The original Tata tree was not just eight hundred years, but in this planet's star system, according to the calendar you set, it is about 1127 years."

Baba paused and then said, "However, its genes have been greatly modified to adapt to the current planet's environment. After my initial calculations, the flowering and fruiting cycle is approximately 1100 days, which is equivalent to three years."

"The flowering period is half a year, the fruiting period is one and a half years, and there is a one-year period of recuperation to accumulate nutrients."

"Really? Three years! Not too long. Tata is not useless and is worth cultivating!"

Banbu's mind turned, and he said, "Is the light not sufficient in this broken place? Move it up the mountain!"
