How Am I Still Alive?

"...failed?"

Looking at the black ashes on the ground, Lu Pingan felt a little helpless, but even more heartbroken.

A module needs ten fragments, which means at least ten points to start with. Every failure of trying makes him very sad.

".Definitely, or almost something."

Here is the botanical garden of the "courtyard" and Lu Ping'an's experimental field.

Unlike the humble fields before, this place has been repaired by the big cats and is very spacious. Under the neat stone pillars, there are square experimental fields.

Among the subdivided field walkways are various pipelines, including but not limited to "pollution pipelines", "nutrient pipelines", "water pipelines" and so on.

And on the side shelf, there are various "lamps" that provide various natural environments including "sunlight", "pollution light source" and "shadow source".

After acquiring the ripening ability, Lu Pingan did not indulge in the simplicity and quickness of the ability.

On the contrary, he spent a lot of money and effort into this plantation, taking the route of "conventional gardener". Of course, just this land of life beyond the secret realm of the forest is not the same as the so-called "conventional" , "ordinary gardener" has nothing to do with it.

After clarifying his abilities and distinguishing his advantages and disadvantages, since he decided to take the "gardener's path", Lu Pingan did not intend to skip classes, but instead made up the foundation little by little.

He knew that at the beginning, what was skipped would come to him at a multiplied cost.

"If you want to know why the fusion failed, I'm afraid you have to start with why the fusion succeeded and how my ability works."

Finally, after another failure of "gambling with dogs", Lu Pingan came back to his senses and returned to the basics of the experiment - to re-analyze the principle.

"A transaction, after all, is a collection of 'gift' and 'get'"

The upgrade of innate ability was not illogical. On the contrary, it can be seen from the system prompt of Lu Ping'an's ability upgrade.

The sublimation of the concept of "life transaction" is more similar to the collection of two actions of "giving life" and "acquiring (rewarding)".

"I gave the magic plants beyond normal vitality, they completed the instant mature evolution, and as a price, their essence after death was left behind."

This is also the essence of being like a gardener, planting plants, waiting for them to ripen, and reaping the fruit.

And the "fruit" obtained, the concentration of the life force of the magic plant, is the so-called life essence fragment.

It is intangible, or in other words, only the "Life Bank" can completely preserve this conceptual "essence".

Then, the bank carried out concept fusion, synthesized and processed the complete essence, and was given another magic plant.

"The more I understand the profession of 'gardener', the more I feel that this perfect 'fusion' is completely incomprehensible."

The fusion of two pairs can give birth to new types of magic plants. It seems reasonable, but in fact it is still the mighty power of the life bank.

First is "acquisition of essence", then "harmless gift", and finally the two are successfully fused to give birth to a new species.

In principle, it makes sense, but at the level of technical operation, any gardener will spray you in the face.

This is equivalent to a cat meeting a dog, and then directly merged into a cat and dog that combines the advantages of both parties. What about species isolation? What about rejection? Is the process of fusion/mating to obtain offspring? Can you talk about DNA and science!

Or, to be more straightforward, draw a cat and a dog, and put them together to form a new species. Why don't you draw antlers, snake body, eagle claws, etc. to create a dragon.

"Perhaps, this is the essence of my power, the concept of trading, the gift and take that benefit both parties"

Probably, only by understanding at the conceptual level can "cat" + "dog" become the so-called "cat and dog", allowing one magic plant to fully inherit the advantages of another magic plant.

The second investment to acquire new species is a life concept ability that is far more outrageous than rapid ripening.

The day before yesterday, those gardener professors were really frightened. They knew how difficult it is to develop a new species, and they couldn't understand how the student in front of them succeeded.

"Oops, I won't scare them. Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Lu Pingan continued to develop his abilities, and gained a lot along the way. The only problem was that this ability was too expensive.

10 essence fragments need 10 life points, and if you lose too much, you will lose one month of life directly, which is impossible for Lu Pingan to accept.

Lu Pingan tried to ripen the second-order magic plants, but he still gave them fragments, in groups of ten.

And since the second-order fusions all failed, and the ones that failed were all particularly heroic (turned to ashes on the spot), so there is no difference.

Tier 2 magic plant seeds are not only expensive and difficult to obtain, but also lose control almost instantly after successful ripening, and finally have to give up.

The strange thing is that the second-level magic plant that Lu Pingan fused himself has a very high affinity for him, at least he will not attack him.

It is worth mentioning that the second-order magic plant that is ripened with the seeds of the fusion magic plant will also bite back instantly.

So, maybe in the process of "transaction", the two sides formed a natural trust?

This obvious differential treatment gave Lu Pingan a headache, which meant that he might not be able to step up and use Mozhi at will.

High-level gardeners have the ability of plant communication and affinity, so they should be able to make up for this shortcoming, but Lu Pingan obviously has no time.

Tier 3 magic plant? The failure is more thorough, just like investing in third-tier professionals, all direct investments fail.

Ultimately, first-order gardeners can only return to first-order.

But it's a pity that even if it is fused with a first-order magic plant, it still fails continuously. Even the "recipe" that was stable in the past has a very high failure rate!

"What's wrong, why do you always fail? Didn't you succeed once before?"

Even though Mo Zhi was eager for some kind of module, the final result was still that the fusion failed and both returned to the earth.

Knowing how to succeed and also knowing how to fail, Lu Pingan felt that he was still missing something, missing the "glue fusion agent" needed to "integrate life".

Lu Pingan vaguely understood that perhaps the temporary buff given in the secret realm was something more important.

"Then, the so-called magic plant affinity and control are the necessities of higher positions in the gardener's path?"

Perhaps this short-term buff can be as valuable as a permanent passive buff because it allows professionals to "trial" high-level abilities in advance.

This not only points out the future direction for professionals, but also inspires breakthroughs.

Take Lu Ping'an's "Shards of Ability Experience" as evidence, try it out, maybe it will really become something you can own.

Lu Pingan asked Big Cat if he was missing anything, but the answer he got was very subtle.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand the specifics of the gardener pathway."

"Some professions are absolutely impossible to work part-time. Once part-time, the strong will swallow the weak in an instant. The gardener department of Mozhi is comparable to the animal trainer/healer department of demonized animals."

Helpless, Lu Pingan can only rely on his own groping.

In fact, he secretly went to the forest to collect buffs, but the two low evaluations showed that he didn't even have the option to "obtain blessings".

Time is running out, and it can no longer be wasted like this.

He began to spend points and forcibly expand his armaments, hoping that the final ranking gains could make up for the consumption.

With the consumption of time and points bit by bit, he has harvested all of the acre of field and a field of ashes in front of him.

In addition to the twisted poison beard and the explosive thunder, he developed a hybrid magic plant along the way, and integrated it into his own fighting style during actual combat training.

Of course, there are also crazy "planting" and "grafting" skill experience points. This time Lu Ping'an is not simply something out of nothing.

Gambling with dogs is not a good death, it should be a statement for Lu Pingan.

"The last time, the last time. Come out to this old man! My SSR!"

After another 10 life points were dropped, Lu Pingan closed his eyes, not even daring to look at the result.

".Finally, another successful one."

This time, it seemed to be a fluke, and a brand new magic plant appeared on the ground.

"Although the fusion is not as perfect as the previous two strains, at least it can be used. Heh, there is another way to deal with the enemy."

Four kinds of fusion magic plants (second-level), as well as a variety of first-level and 0-level magic plants, are enough to surprise your opponents.

Unlike the newly awakened gardener in the secret realm that day, Lu Pingan has transformed all the resources he can get into combat power, and his seed bag is full.

"I am now stronger than I was in the knight secret realm"

But as a price, the 90 life points used in the experiment have already exceeded his survival and investment consumption these days.

The ever-decreasing number of life points also made him heartbroken, so he had to stop all "gambling with dogs".

"Wait until you make up for the flaws and increase the fusion success rate to play again. This is life-threatening. If the failure rate is still so high, you really can't play it."

Finally, it's time for the last round of testing.
