Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 183: Chapter 182: Secret Mission

[Mutating a Tier Six Summoned Unit requires 250 Magic Energy. Would you like to proceed?]

The familiar prompt echoed in Lin You’s mind.

Lin You looked at the Deceit Willow swaying in the wind before him and chose to confirm.

In an instant.

The Deceit Willow was enveloped in a burst of light, and the willow branches on the tree began to shrink rapidly, while the trunk gradually transformed.

After about seven or eight seconds, the willow tree, which was more than ten meters high, had become a trumpet flower covered in stalks and leaves, extending outward continuously.

[Name: Echo Flower]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Six (upgrades with the territory)]

[Power: ???]

[Constitution: ???]

[Agility: ???]

[Spirit: ???]

[Skills: Deceitful Transformation, Sound Recording (Allows for voice transmission between Echo Flowers. The greater the distance, the more Power of Nature consumed.), Sound Waves (Emits strong sound waves to destroy all surrounding enemies.)]

[Introduction: First hear its voice, then see its flower—a plant with an extraordinary control over sound.]

Just as Lin You had expected.

The mutation of the Deceit Willow resulted in a new species he had never encountered before.

Moreover, what surprised him a bit was that, like the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, the mutated species it produced would also inherit its upgrade conditions.

The inability to upgrade the Ancient Tree of Knowledge and the territory-based upgrades of the Deceit Willow seemed to be immutable through mutated abilities.

However, this wasn’t necessarily bad news.

Because species that upgrade with the territory don’t require accumulating experience points. Whatever level the territory is, they’ll be that level too, which might be very useful in the future.

And the skills of this new species are also quite peculiar, seemingly resembling… a mobile phone?

With this curiosity, Lin You tried it and found that it could indeed transmit sound!

Even transmitting to several hundred meters away with no difficulty. When space for species is available, he could keep a few for communication purposes.

The Sound Waves skill was also useful, counted as quite practical.

However, as its level was only Tier Six, it wasn’t very helpful to him, so he temporarily sent it back.

Following that, he summoned another Deceit Willow to continue the mutation.

Whoosh!

With a flash of light, a cotton tree appeared before him, capable of producing cotton.

It also inherited the conditions for level upgrade, along with the Deceitful Transformation skill.

Lin You was puzzled that after two mutations, neither inherited the Soul Incarnation skill. Could it be that this skill was highly incompatible with other species?

With this thought, he recruited more Deceit Willows for several mutations.

The result was the same; all inherited the Deceitful Transformation skill, with several familiar species appearing.

Clearly, the Soul Incarnation skill was demanding for species.

Only plants like the Deceit Willow, with a certain affinity for Soul Power, could handle it.

Rare species are indeed extraordinary.

Lin You had no choice but to abandon further mutation plans and recruited another Deceit Willow before heading to the territory to check on the planted species.

Logically, after such a long time, these species should have reached Tier Seven, yet they remained at Tier Six, showing no sign of progression.

This truly puzzled him.

He casually opened the information of one of the planted species for a glance.

[Name: Bursting Pumpkin]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Six (Maxed)]

[Power: 50]

[Constitution: 200]

[Agility: 250]

[Spirit: 250]

[Skills: Plant Protection, Burst, Sowing]

[Introduction: A peculiar watermelon, its seeds have effects that ordinary watermelons do not.]

Maxed level?

Lin You paused in surprise.

No wonder he questioned why these species hadn’t upgraded—their levels were already maxed out.

No surprise there. For species without much combat power, reaching Tier Nine or Ten seemed outrageous. After all, how could you use watermelons as weapons?

He couldn’t envision such scenes and didn’t waste time studying further.

After a quick meal, he checked on the chat channel activities before heading to rest in the treehouse.

…

…

In the subsequent days.

Lin You spent his time traveling between his territory and the main city, busy collecting Territory Essence.

The Neutral Area did not disappoint him.

Basically, every three to five days, a battle would occur, attracting many lords to assemble there.

Every time a battle broke out, he would rush over, looking for opportunities to ambush Tier Seven Lords on the opposite side.

Or cooperate with Ji Yunshuang, assisting Cyan Rattan.

Though the folks from the Primordial Evil Realm were gradually becoming wary of his species, this gave him a chance, and within half a month, he finally gathered ten pieces of Tier Seven Territory Essence!

“Phew—”

“Finally enough…”

Lin You looked at the Territory Essence in his personal space and let out a long breath.

After so many days of battle, he could finally temporarily leave this battlefield and stop his constant travels.

Now, only Cyan Rattan’s experience points remained.

Once its experience was maxed, it could immediately rise to Tier Eight, significantly increasing its power, rewarding his efforts during this period.

“The battle is over; let’s leave here first.”

At this moment, Ji Yunshuang’s voice echoed from the side.

Through this collaboration, she and Lin You had grown much closer and gradually became friends.

Lin You glanced at her, nodded, and said, “Yes, let’s return to the main city first. My Territory Essence is enough, so there’s no need to come back here for the time being.”

“Is it enough so soon?” Ji Yunshuang said in astonishment.

“Not really fast, it took almost a month in total.”

“True, it was quite a while. So, shall we cooperate again if given the chance?” Ji Yunshuang hesitated a bit.

“Of course.” Lin You smiled faintly.

He and Ji Yunshuang worked seamlessly together. There were instances he relied on the boosts from the Angel Type species to successfully kill Tier Seven Lords.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gathered enough Territory Essence so quickly.

Ji Yunshuang, hearing his reply, also revealed a trace of joy.

Subsequently, they left the Neutral Zone with other lords and flew back to the main city.

However, what Lin You didn’t expect.

When he parted ways with Ji Yunshuang and approached the Teleportation Plaza, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

“Third Prince?”

Lin You was surprised to see the newcomer—it was indeed the Third Prince of the Sky Dome Empire, Qin Li.

“Yes, it’s me. I’ve been waiting for you here for quite some time.”

Qin Li approached with a smile, accompanied by several attendants, to Lin You.

This made Lin You even more puzzled, and he asked, “Did the Third Prince wait here for me due to something important?”

For Qin Li to wait here, it was evident that the matter was not simple.

Sure enough.

Qin Li looked around before leaning in to whisper, “There’s a secret mission. Upon completion, one can earn ten Tier Seven Territory Essence and 100,000 Honor Points. Are you interested?”

“What did you just say!?”

Lin You’s pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at Qin Li.

Qin Li gestured for him to keep quiet.

“There are too many people here. Let’s go to my private residence first.”

“Alright!”

Lin You nodded heavily.

With such a huge temptation of ten Tier Seven Territory Essence and 100,000 Honor Points, he knew he couldn’t resist.

So soon afterward, he followed Qin Li onto the carriage and, with a shout from the coachman, they rode off.
