Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Miracle of Life
Having finished admiring the cute little chicks, Chen Yuan waved his hand grandly: “Let’s go check on the little trees the two of you have been taking care of.”
“Quack.”
Run Run Duck scratched its behind, then strutted towards the fields with its rear end raised.
“Woof woof.”
Cola was surrounded by a gentle breeze, crossing several meters in a short time and disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Upon reaching the fields, the Blazing Fruit Tree, about two meters tall, still stood where it was, bathed in sunlight, performing photosynthesis all the time.
Beside it, three more sprouts bloomed with vigorous life, swaying in the breeze—one was a Blazing Fruit Tree sprout, and two were Luminous Fruit Tree sprouts.
“Looks like the other two seeds won’t sprout.” Chen Yuan showed a disappointed expression.
Several days passed, and the remaining two seeds still hadn’t sprouted, as if they were slumbering underground, showing no signs of awakening.
Thus, among the six seeds Chen Yuan planted, two Blazing Fruit Tree seeds did not sprout, while all the Luminous Fruit Tree seeds did.
“The success rate isn’t too bad.” Chen Yuan murmured softly.
He had prepared himself for the possibility that not all seeds would sprout, but witnessing this scene firsthand still left him a bit disheartened.
“You two did a good job.” Chen Yuan looked at the two little fellows with a thumbs up, offering praise.
Though Run Run Duck loved sunbathing on rocks, it never forgot its duty, arriving on time to water the plants every day.
As for Cola… well, it’s pretty good too, at least it always accompanies Run Run Duck in watering.
“Quack～”
Run Run Duck ruffled its smooth hairstyle with its hands, showing an extremely flamboyant expression and a confident smile at the corner of its mouth.
This little matter is a piece of cake for a duck like me.
“Alright, now it’s time to witness a miracle.” Chen Yuan reached out to touch one of the Luminous Fruit Tree sprouts, bringing up the system panel:
[Luminous Fruit Tree (Growth Phase)]
[Accelerate its growth with Source Points?]
With piercing eyes and a resolute tone, Chen Yuan said, “Give me the points!”
He had made plans in advance, knowing the current stage’s benefits of Luminous Fruit are far greater than those of Blazing Fruit, as the former is suitable for every Pet Beast while the latter only works for Fire-type Pet Beasts.
Moreover, in the long run, the continuing effect of Luminous Fruit surpasses that of Blazing Fruit.
First, raise the little guys’ understanding, then train them one by one to strengthen the farm’s security forces.
Almost instantly, the Luminous Fruit Tree sprout rapidly grew and developed, defying scientific rationale with its frenzied growth, quickly transforming into a small tree about one to two meters tall.
With a unchanged face, Chen Yuan commanded, “Continue!”
Another Source Point was invested.
The small tree continued to grow upward, branching out into more stems and leaves, with the lush foliage beginning to take shape.
Reaching four meters, the Luminous Fruit Tree continued its growth.
“Keep going!”
The growth speed of the Luminous Fruit Tree accelerated as the trunk shot upward dramatically, reaching eight meters.
“Keep it coming!”
Twelve meters.
“A little more!”
Fourteen meters.
“Not done yet? Keep going, keep going!”
With the sixth Source Point invested, the Luminous Fruit Tree emitted a faint rumble as its thick trunk continued to ascend, dense leaves forming a canopy, branches and leaves intertwining into a vibrant greenery.
Looking up, Chen Yuan saw no fewer than ten golden fruits hanging from the tree.
These were the Luminous Fruits.
“Dian Dian…”
Seeing this miracle-like scene, Electric Flying Cat was dumbfounded, collapsing on the ground.
It alternated between looking up at the Luminous Fruits and gazing at Chen Yuan’s back, feeling that this silhouette grew taller and increasingly godlike within its vision.
No, that’s wrong.
Rubbing its eyes, Electric Flying Cat saw Chen Yuan morphing into a gigantic, golden fruit, emanating a deadly aroma of sweet temptation.
Fruit.
Such a big fruit.
Befuddled and bewildered, Electric Flying Cat clambered its way next to Chen Yuan, opened its mouth, and went for a bite.
Swiftly, Chen Yuan grabbed Electric Flying Cat by the neck and lifted it up, staring at the drooling feline idiotically: “What’s up with this kid?”
Ignoring the strange Electric Flying Cat, Chen Yuan murmured gently: “Six Source Points means the maturity of the Luminous Fruit Tree takes six months.”
“Pretty quick, actually.”
“And with ten fruits, this is a sizable number, right?”
In the Beast Taming Store, one Luminous Fruit is valued at 25 Contribution Points, so the total value of this tree’s ten Luminous Fruits is 250 Contribution Points, nearly equivalent to a third-level resource.
“Great deal.” Upon calculating, Chen Yuan was filled with joy.
Of course, he had no intention of selling these Luminous Fruits; using them on the little fellows was the rational choice.
“Let’s try the second tree then.”
Chen Yuan looked down at another sprout and confidently waved his hand, investing six Source Points.
Instantly, his previous two-digit Source Point balance shrank greatly, leaving only 1.3 Source Points.
A moment later,
A fifteen-meter-tall Luminous Fruit Tree stood proudly on the ground, with six Luminous Fruits glowing faintly in the sunlight.
The comparison with the previous tree left Chen Yuan slightly disappointed: “It’s a shame, only six.”
“But I’m content with this.” After the brief disappointment, a satisfied smile spread across Chen Yuan’s face.
These two Luminous Fruit Trees had come easily; the process was nearly effortless, almost a free gain.
And spending twelve Source Points was worth it; he felt no sting in spending them.
Yielding so many Luminous Fruits was already his fortune.
“Alright, let’s divide the fruits.”
Last night, he asked Jiang Wenning how to consume Luminous Fruits for maximum efficiency, but she shook her head, noting she simply gave good stuff directly to the Pet Beasts without worrying about efficiency.
After all, she was never short of good things.
Having felt deeply frustrated, Chen Yuan sought out Chen Wenhao and finally got a reliable answer.
For most Pet Beasts, the efficacy always peaks with the first two of the same type and yields the greatest benefits.
While continued use still offers some effect, the results are far inferior to the first two and decline progressively.
This explains why the resources listed as advancement conditions for Pet Beasts usually include two.
Flame Cloud Falcon’s advancement needs two Blazing Fruits, Gale Hunting Dog requires two Wind Language Grass, Steel-headed Ground Rat demands two Golden Iron Stones; it’s all the same principle.
“Spark and Cola each had one Luminous Fruit, so just one for now.”
“Two for Duck, two for Iron Head, yeah, let’s give two to Bean Chicken for its hard work incubating eggs.”
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Yuan looked down at the recovering Electric Flying Cat, his expression intriguing: “Just confess; how many Luminous Fruits did you sneak back then?”
Electric Flying Cat lifted its head, its pitch-black eyes flickering thoughtfully, and pondered seriously: “Dian Dian Dian Dian!”
Four!
Chen Yuan nodded: “Okay, you’re out of luck this time.”
