Wasteland Development Diary

Emerald City, Room 3101.

On the controller's projection screen.

Aqi and Niger were chatting and eating on the Pan Tree.

"They don't look like lovers, more like friends. I thought they'd be all passionate right away," Qian Su said, drinking a can of sweet orange juice, looking disappointed.

Zhou Yi didn't mind.

Lovers or friends, it was Niger's own business.

However, seeing the Mud Tree Man finally making friends—not just Aqi, but also the Tree Monster Ye Qing—reassured him a lot.

Zhou Yi had also been encouraging Niger to learn the local language and script to make it easier to make friends and integrate into the wasteland world.

But he was always reluctant.

Until Aqi appeared, Niger immediately became proactive.

"What a beauty!"

"Such strong shoulders! Long arms, very flexible hands, big feet, good appetite, looks energetic!"

"Among the Mud Tree People, this kind of woman is the most popular, such a good figure!"

"Chairman, can you help me check her background?"

"No problem..."

Beauty inspired Niger's change.

He actively started learning the local East Continent Common Language and even started learning to write.

Relying on his extremely strong memory and his own A-grade excellent physical qualities, the Mud Tree Man quickly mastered the basic language.

While Niger was still stuttering, Zhou Yi and Qian Su played the roles of two anonymous friends.

They found Aqi, explained the situation, and avoided misunderstandings caused by language communication problems.

"Now that everything is fine here, Chairman, I will set off with Shi Ming tonight to redeem two grandfathers from Heaven's Country."

Qian Su crushed the pull-tab can and put it into the recycling bag next to her.

"Go early and return early."

Zhou Yi said, "If you need anything, contact Red Falcon."

Now that there are Spring and Autumn Merchant Group's machine station services, remote communication can be maintained.

"Yes."

Qian Su went downstairs, started the truck, and quietly drove into the Dead Sea, heading north.

She was gone for half a month, saying that she encountered some unexpected situations and was stuck in the ransom payment process, so rescuing people would have to wait for a while.

After one or two years of improvement and management, the Express Center has long been on the right track.

When Qian Su was away, she temporarily handed over the management of various center affairs to Awei. He was the roommate of the Bone Man Jacob and had worked his way up from a Guangtai worker to the express delivery side, gradually gaining recognition and being reused.

Awei also managed various affairs in an orderly manner.

...

One day, Zhou Yi was cleaning and maintaining his right arm prosthetic when there was a rapid knocking on the door outside.

"Yuanxiao, open the door."

The Death Angel opened the door.

The person outside bowed his head and came in.

"Chairman, the Pan Tree, the Pan Tree has mutated!"

Niger bowed his tall body, his face filled with excitement.

"Go and see."

Zhou Yi immediately rushed to the Pan Tree area on the east coast with him.

The mutated one was the earliest planted Pan Tree.

Now its height is close to thirty meters, and the trunk is wide and thick. The coiled canopy has become particularly dense, with a diameter of hundreds of meters, forming a circle of ring road structure, which looks more three-dimensional.

But from the appearance, it is impossible to see any difference.

"The fruit, the fruit is different."

Niger pointed to the gray fruits on the branches.

Zhou Yi noticed that the Dead Sea fruit was significantly larger, with the largest approaching the size of a human brain. In addition to breaking through the size limit, some fruits had different colors.

Three of them showed a faint white color, and one fruit was green.

Zhou Yi asked, "Are these different colors formed by reflecting dead light?"

"Yes."

The Mud Tree Man nodded: "This is mutation, a common mutation in Mud Tree civilization! Usually only the Sky Tree can achieve this! But I don't know why it is like this!"

Another voice came from the canopy.

"The Sky Tree is the result of the height mutation of the Pan Tree, but the Pan Tree itself has similar functions, but it is in a recessive state. And the Sky Tree is the result of a completely dominant result."

Zhou Yi found that the voice came from the mistletoe on the tree.

"Ye Qing?"

"It's me, Mr. Zhou."

The Tree Monster, who had changed his parasitic tree, said: "Niger and I have taken our own strengths and jointly cultivated this Pan Tree."

"The planting methods of Mud Tree civilization are highly dependent on the local environment. There are too many naturally growing high-quality trees there, and you only need to choose the right tree."

"This has also caused them to be in a very backward stage in terms of fertilizer, water conservancy, and deep soil cognition. They have not developed a true agricultural system, but only a continuous extension and vertical development based on natural collection."

Ye Qing added: "However, Mud Tree civilization is very rich in the growth and grafting experience of various local trees, far exceeding ours here."

"I tried to carry out targeted environmental transformation of this Pan Tree according to the scale of super-large fruit trees, introduced artificial watering, used a lot of fertilizer for soil cultivation, pruned branches and leaves, and did pest control..."

"This also allowed this Pan Tree to start a rapid secondary development and rapid growth."

"Because I am in a symbiotic state with it, I can clearly detect and perceive its specific condition."

The Tree Monster further explained: "Its growth rate is highly related to nutrition and has a microscopic structure with extremely strong strength and stretchability. Without human intervention, it does need about fifty years to enter the mature period."

"However, as long as the outside world supplements it with various trace elements it needs and replenishes water in time, this cycle can be greatly shortened. It has abundant energy, which will also act on the enhanced mutation of the fruit."

"In fact, each fruiting is like a pregnancy for it. The internal nutrients, hormone levels, and energy absorption, and the external environment's soil, temperature, light, fertilizer, shaping pruning, and pest control will affect the results of each branch."

"After our artificial intervention, its fruits are now obviously much fuller and more mature, and it is more likely to have complete mutations—instead of the incomplete mutation state of those previous fruits."

Incomplete mutation is the result of those few fruits activating human organs and allowing them to have the power of enhancers in a short period of time.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up: "Then complete mutation, can it completely transform the human body?"

"You can also say that."

The Tree Monster explained: "Incomplete mutation is like an egg that has not fully developed. Its own power cannot be fully encapsulated, so it can be used by the outside world to obtain this power, but it will be gone after it is consumed."

"Complete mutation allows the fruit to have specific stable characteristics and effects. Although this ability is not as exaggerated as becoming an enhancer, it is more gentle and usable."

"Like Common Sense Banana, it is the result of a complete mutation."

Equivalent to losing the special power for a short time, but replaced with a special fruit that can be used for a long time and stably.

From a safety point of view, the latter is more guaranteed.

Zhou Yi looked at the four special fruits on the tree: "What are their effects?"

"These two fruits."

The Tree Monster propped up the mistletoe vines and pointed to the two Dead Sea fruits that reflected white light: "They are extremely nutritious, and long-term consumption can improve physical fitness."

"You can try them."

Niger picked a white fruit and handed it over.

Zhou Yi found that after leaving the tree, the Dead Sea fruit lost its luster and looked almost the same.

He used the small awl that came with his right arm prosthesis to crack the shell, and then chewed and swallowed the white flesh inside.

The fragrance was a little richer.

Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly condensed.

Life +20

This thing... can actually improve life strength.

Zhou Yi looked at Niger and the Tree Monster Ye Qing: "Can each of these fruits increase life?"

The Tree Monster said: "Yes, it is very stable."

"This is a mutation in the natural environment. The Pan Tree has not been grafted. After it continues to grow, only its vitality continues to increase and flourish, which is stable and simple."

"But it takes a little time to fully digest it."

Niger said: "We used to eat the fruits on the Sky Tree like this. We ate them from childhood to adulthood, so our bodies are better than people in this world. No wonder people here look so thin, and those women look like children, so short."

Zhou Yi: "..."

It turns out that the Mud Tree People are not only well-nourished, but also take drugs from an early age, and their life values ​​are soaring. No wonder an adventurer has A-level strength.

Compared with the abundant tree world where the Mud Tree civilization is located, the earth in the wasteland era can be said to be a poor mountainous area.

"Then what about this one."

Zhou Yi pointed to the Dead Sea fruit emitting green light.

The Tree Monster said: "This is the same, but the intensity is higher."

Zhou Yi picked the green fruit and ate the white flesh inside again.

Life +140

The effect is much stronger.

According to the Tree Monster and Niger, the life value increased by the Dead Sea fruit will take a long time to digest and absorb. Depending on the physique, the degree of absorption varies.

Zhou Yi absorbed it all as soon as he ate it.

He estimated that it was because of the White Suanni body that could quickly and completely absorb all the nutrients.

Zhou Yi asked: "What is the fruit production rate of this mutated fruit?"

"It's hard to say."

The Tree Monster said: "According to the current situation, the fruit production rate of white fruit is between 5%-10%, and the probability of green fruit is lower than this. This tree currently produces 34 white fruits and 2 green fruits in one round. However, if the Pan Tree is further cultivated, the yield will be further increased."

The probability is a bit low.

But this is a long-term cultivation.

Eight Pan Trees, added together, are not a few.

Calculated according to 1 light species can increase 10 points of life value, then 1 white fruit is 2 light species, and 1 green fruit is equivalent to 14 light species, the value is already not low.

"From today, the company will establish the Mud Tree Civilization Department. Niger, you will be the Minister and give full play to the special advantages of your civilization. Ye Qing, you will be his deputy, and I will talk to Shu Huanggong about it. The salary refers to the Ministry of Agriculture."

Zhou Yi immediately said: "You two, the most important task at present is to cultivate the company's current eight Pan Trees well, so that they can bear more white and green fruits! Work hard!"

"Yes, Chairman!"
