- Short chapter so I figured I might as well.
- Edited by: MythosIX
- Chapter 40
- Selective Breeding
- Raphtalia: "Something like this?"
- Naofumi: "Yea, we should contact the village after this"
- Seed of Miracles... We who subjugated the Bio Plant, which was Motoyasu's failure, are currently collecting seeds.
- I let my shield absorb any seeds that it reacted to.
- Requirements for Bio Plant Shield have been revealed.
- Requirements for Plantriwe Shield have been revealed.
- Requirements for Mandoragora Shield have been revealed.
- Bio Plant Shield
- Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Plant Remodelling
- Special Effect: Hook
- Plantriwe Shield
- Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Intermediate Compounding 2
- Mandoragora Shield
- Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Plant Analysis
- I've unlocked the plant skill tree for my shield. Although it's been unlocked, it still seems insufficient.
- Naofumi: "Plant Remodelling?"
- I switched to the Bio Plant Shield and test out what plant remodelling does.
- An icon appeared over the seed that I look at.
- I fed some magic to the seed of a Bio Plant that I picked up earlier.
- The seed floats in the air.
- Fertility 9
- Productivity 9
- Vitality 9
- Immunity 4
- Intelligence 1
- Growth Potential 9
- Variability 9
- Special Ability
- What is that?
- First of all, I'll lower everything.
- The window makes a beeping sound as the values decrease.
- All other statuses were decreased while increasing one.
- Fertility 1
- Productivity 1
- Vitality 1
- Immunity 1
- Intelligence 1
- Growth Potential 43
- Variability 1
- Special Ability
- Hmm... I don't understand.
- Well, all it has is growth powers, is that even good?
- Oh, my MP decreases when I use this skill, it's almost empty.
- Raphtalia: "Naofumi-sama?"
- The modified Bio Plant seed that I made was dropped by accident.
- "Oo!"
- The ground immediately becomes lush and green
- But...
- "What?"
- It grew in abundance for about 3 meters and then withered instantly.
- Raphtalia: "What are you doing?"
- Naofumi: "Ah, I’m experimenting with Plant remodelling using that seed"
- Raphtalia: "Please don't do something so dangerous!"
- I was scolded by Raphtalia.
- Well, if it was someone else who did that, I would be angry too.
- But, this skill is really interesting.
- It seems I'll be able to make huge profits if I utilize it correctly.
- Raphtalia: "Naofumi-sama, your smile looks rotten"
- Oops, did it show on my face?
- Naofumi: "Anyway, let's return to the village"
- Raphtalia: "Yeah"
- We were greeted by silence as we walked out of the brown plant zone.
- Villager: "Thank you Hero-sama"
- Humans work for profit.
- After I save the village I am welcomed gratefully.
- Well, it would be impossible to live in the village with all those dead plants.
- That day, we ended up cleaning all the withered plants.
- Even if the main body is destroyed, the fruit and potatoes remain, It seems there won't be a food shortage for a while.
- But I'm a little worried about the soil.
- Naofumi: "Aren't you going to return to a famine?"
- Villager: "Well...... that's very likely"
- In the near future, this village might be deserted.
- After thinking it through, I push forward my plant remodelling plan.
- I don't understand what special ability is yet.
- By looking at a seed, the plant analysis menu pops up.
- I equip the Mandoragora shield and go to bed.
- The next morning, I change to the Bio Plant shield and continue remodelling.
- Fertility 9
- Productivity 9
- Vitality 9
- Immunity 4
- Intelligence 1
- Growth Potential 9
- Variability 9
- Special Ability
- Upon death a seed is produced.
- Mutation Range Expansion.
- I see... This was the original ability of the Bio Plants.
- Originally, it was made with the purpose of producing food, but due to its mutation ability, it became a demon.
- It might not be a bad idea to nip the problem at its root.
- Due to its low immunity the herbicide is effective.
- I check the special ability. Various items appeared.
- There are special instructions next to each item.
- It seems I can choose abilities by sacrificing stats.
- This village is troubled by the second coming of the famine.
- That's why I'll experiment.
- Fertility 4 is simply the power to increase. We don't need too much so I'll lower it.
- Productivity 15 should be the ability that produced fruit. To combat the famine I'll increase it.
- Vitality 6 is this the power to grow anywhere? Let's drop it a little.
- Immunity 4 is the power to resist sickness. Because the herbicide is effective I'll leave it alone.
- Intelligence 1 What the heck is this, does it give it a demon's intelligence? I don't know what increasing it might do.
- Growth Potential 15 the speed at which it grows. Let's increase this.
- Variability 1 this is probably the cause of plants becoming demons.
- Special Ability, I add in an ability that increases quality of crops and cancel the Mutation ability.
- Upon death a higher quality seed is produced.
- Naofumi: "It's completed"
- Raphtalia: "Is something wrong?"
- Raphtalia stirs and asks me sleepily.
- The villagers suggested that the saint, and holy bird stay overnight in the village.
- The fruits and potatoes of the Bio Plant are quite delicious.
- It's an annoying plant, but it tastes good.
- If my remodelling succeeds, it will become the special product of the village.
- Naofumi: "Ah, continuing from yesterday is a bit..."
- Raphtalia: “You’re still at it?"
- Naofumi: "It's a little bad to leave things as is right?"
- The famine will hit sooner or later. Therefore, I'll stop it by all means.
- Even if I can go shopping from different areas, it's impossible for this amount of people.
- It would be difficult for these inhabitants who have lived here a long time to move.
- Naofumi: "Now then"
- I got off the carriage and dropped the seed onto the withered ground slowly.
- The plant grows and covers a corner of the former village site.
- Villager: "Wh-What's happening?"
- The people who were resting near the camp run up to get a closer look.
- Naofumi: "Ah my bad, it's just a little experiment."
- Villager: "What are you doing?"
- The villagers seem to be scared of the plants.
- Naofumi: "Experiments to change this into a safe plant..."
- Due to its low fertility, the plant stops growing.
- And......
- Red and young fruit similar to a tomato appears. It seems the foundation for the plant is a tomato.
- Naofumi: "I think that's a success"
- Villager: "Yea…"
- Naofumi: "Whether or not you want to use it is up to you. Whether this was in vain or be an asset is in your hands."
- It seems the mutation range expansion and the variability status doesn't only change into demons, it also has the effect of producing various fruits and other plants.
- I sprinkled some herbicide to wither the plant. I hand the seed over to the feudal lord there.
- Naofumi: "Well them, we'll be on our way, bye-bye."
- Firo who was already awake and stuffing herself with tomatoes prepares to pull the carriage.
- Villager: "Please wait!"
- Naofumi: "Hm? What’s up?"
- Villager: "We still haven't rewarded you yet. How abo-"
- Naofumi: "Are you fellows having difficulty with stock processing, and going to push the problem on me?"
- Villager: "Uh-uhm how about....."
- My carriage has now become 4 vehicles.
- 3 of the carts were loaded with crops that came from the Bio Plant.
- It seems they were gifts along with the carts.
- I reluctantly received it because they presented it with a smile.
- After connecting the carts, Firo pulls the carriage happily.
- Firo: "It's heavy and comfortable~!"
- As expected of a demon changed from a Philorial
- The journey continues while the carriage shakes.
- Additionally, after I realised the herbicide could be used as a weapon. I went to play with treants.
- It seems to be effective only on plants which have a parasitic ability.
- I don't understand its standards.
- Perhaps there are no traces of any demons in the Bio Plant, it might be just a simple plant.
- Well, it's fine. With Raphtalia and Firo, I don't have to worry about being attacked.
- Let’s think of a way to use the food that cannot be eaten first.
- That reminds me... I heard a rumour about a famine up north. I should go sell there.
- Naofumi: "Let's depart for the north."
- Firo: "Okay~!"
