Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 236: Chapter 234: The Mother of Nature’s Blessing

As soon as the sun rose the next day, Lin You woke up.

He checked his private messages, but there was still no news of the King waking up.

Initially, he wanted to send a message to ask about it, but after considering it, he decided it might be better not to disturb at that time.

The Angel-type Sacred Artifact he sold yesterday was something he initially planned to show Ji Yunshuang to see if he could exchange it for something else.

But then he thought, since she has a King as a father who freely gives out Rare Species, she surely wouldn’t lack treasures of this level.

“Alright, let’s wait a bit longer.”

Murmuring to himself, Lin You rose and left the tree house, entering his territory.

After a simple wash and a quick meal, he reviewed Yellow Sand City’s financial situation from the previous day.

He then took the newly acquired Tier Nine Material and flew out of the forest towards the Dwarf Tribe.

Led by a dwarf and through numerous winding tunnels, he finally found Mageon, who was busy opening a new mining route deep in the mountains.

From a distance, the clanking sounds of mining were audible, along with dwarves transporting ores back and forth.

Mageon was beside them, directing the operations.

“So this is where you’ve been, making me search high and low.”

Lin You passed through the corridor and went straight into the mining cave where excavation was in progress.

“Lin You?”

Mageon turned around from the edge of the mine and looked at him.

“Didn’t you say it’s too hot here for you? Why did you suddenly have time to come find me today?”

“What do you think I’m here for?” Lin You asked back.

“Could it be… to deliver grain?”

Mageon’s eyes lit up, gazing intensely at Lin You.

That eager expression instantly choked back Lin You’s words.

Okay, maybe he really was here to deliver grain.

With an awkward cough, he said, “I’m planning to sell some Tier Eight and Nine equipment elsewhere and need your help. Later, you might have to personally help craft some Tier Ten equipment.”

“Ah, so it’s to craft equipment; that’s fine,” Mageon grinned widely, his eyes narrowing to lines.

Lin You also laughed, though his was a bitter smile.

Suddenly, Mageon’s cheerful face turned serious.

“One hundred thousand pounds of grain.”

“One hundred thousand? Why not rob me!”

“Then ninety thousand.”

“No way! At most thirty thousand!”

“How is thirty thousand enough? My tribesmen are all waiting for me to feed them!”

“Would you die if you ate ordinary grain?”

“Yes!”

“…”

“Alright then, seventy thousand, no less.”

“Fifty thousand! I’ll give you fifty thousand at most, anymore and my people in the city won’t have anything to eat.”

“Fifty thousand? Do you know how long it takes to craft a Tier Ten piece of equipment? At least sixty thousand!”

“Fine, fine, you win, sixty thousand it is.”

After bargaining back and forth, they finally settled on sixty thousand pounds, and it had to be specially cultivated Fortified Grain.

Although Lin You knew exchanging sixty thousand pounds of grain for Tier Eight, Nine, or even Ten equipment was a profit, he still felt heartache.

After all, this grain wasn’t blown in by the wind, but grown by his people.

Besides the portion handed over to the territorial public warehouse, the rest belonged to the earnings of the laborers; as a lord, he certainly couldn’t directly take away their source of income.

Otherwise, what would the people live on?

It was a headache.

When he returns later, he would have to ask Xue Changgui to purchase grain from the people, impacting his grain exports significantly.

The only relief was that Yellow Sand City still had about a million in liquid funds, which should be enough to buy grain.

Add to that the reserves in the public warehouse, gathering sixty thousand pounds shouldn’t be a problem.

As for grain exports, they could be paused; after all, the ultimate goal is still profit.

Can any profit compare to the profit from Tier Ten equipment?

Thinking of this, Lin You felt much more relieved.

After chatting with Mageon about equipment crafting, he returned to the territory.

On his way through the forest outskirts, he found Xue Changgui and told him about this matter. After a simple explanation, he rode the Demon King Dragon and hurried back to his territory.

The moment was marked by the rising sun.

As the sunlight pierced through the forest and shone into Yellow Sand City, within the city, the inhabitants began to stir.

Heading out to farm, building houses, constructing city walls, hunting in the Gobi Desert outside the forest…..

Lin You rode on the Demon King Dragon, soaring over the forest, drawing countless spectators but they had grown accustomed to it, no longer panicking as at first.

After returning to the territory.

Lin You gathered the plants around him.

Considering thoroughly, he let the recently mutated 15 Moss Symbiosis integrate into the Ancient War Tree.

After all, the Ancient War Tree is the frontline close combat species with the highest casualty rate, ensuring the survival of frontlines before considering rear output.

Subsequently.

He spent tens of thousands of Magic Energy to fill the gaps in the remaining species.

Then he took the A-level Species Secret Treasure he got yesterday into the Species Base.

[Would you like to place the “Final Strike” Secret Treasure in the “Cannibal Flower” branch slot?]

[Once placed, the corresponding species will receive Secret Treasure buffs and can be replaced at any time, though replacement requires consuming Magic Energy.]

“Yes.”

With Lin You’s affirmation, the Secret Treasure in his hand was immediately enveloped in light, gently floating towards the slot symbolizing Cannibal Flower Species.

Meanwhile, the Cannibal Flower Species within the territory briefly emitted a flash of white light, fleeting.

Here, Lin You’s preparatory work was considered complete.

Without hesitation, he walked out of the Species Base and headed toward the World Tree, slowly passing through the Secret Realm Gate.

Swish!

With a flash of light, he appeared back on the floating platform.

It was early morning, and not many lords had teleported over yet, so it looked sparse and somewhat deserted.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin You directly teleported to the lower city, hurrying towards the Nature Sanctuary.

Yes, it was the exclusive sanctuary for the Plant Type.

This is what Lin You learned from others on the road yesterday.

It’s said that in the Secret Sanctuary, ten sanctuaries have been established, each representing ten species territories.

Only by communicating with deities through the corresponding sanctuary can lords gain the qualification to collect origin.

This is why he didn’t receive Origin Power after killing the leader-level demon yesterday.

So quickly.

He passed through the street and arrived at an immensely grand sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery.

And in front of the sanctuary, on a broad circular plaza.

Many Plant Type lords had arrived earlier than him and were gathered around a towering ancient tree, seemingly operating something.

More Plant Type lords continuously appeared, heading directly for that big tree.

However, the most unexpected thing for Lin You was the figures stationed inside the sanctuary.

They were all slender elves!

This was Lin You’s first time seeing real elves, and he was instantly struck by their handsome appearance.

Especially when he saw their long ears, he was even more amazed, unable to resist observing them from afar.

The only pity was that those elves were praying inside the sanctuary, with heavy guards, otherwise he would have had to get closer to take a look.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin You followed other lords into the plaza, arriving in front of the big tree.

Immediately, an unknown interface suddenly appeared before him.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be similar to the Blessing Sanctuary in his territory, allowing lords to gain corresponding benefits.

No wonder these lords came running early in the morning.

It’s presumably for this benefit, to better explore the secret realm.

Just as Lin You was figuring out how to gain the qualification for origin collection, two lords suddenly approached him.

“Alright, place your hand on this Tree of Origin, and you can unlock the Natural Origin.”

As his words fell, one young lord eagerly stretched out his palm, slowly placing it on the ancient tree in front of him.

In an instant, light flashed, and the ancient tree swayed.

Fragments of fluorescence fell down, condensing into a resplendent green light cluster in front of the young lord.

Could that be the Natural Origin?

Lin You was puzzled.

A material for upgrading from Tier Seven to Tier Eight shouldn’t be so easily obtainable, should it?

Thinking this, he followed suit, reaching out to touch the ancient tree.

And at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

As soon as his palm touched the Tree of Origin, a dazzling light suddenly erupted, engulfing him and the entire Tree of Origin.

Even shooting straight up, it pierced into the celestial vault.

The magnificent scene immediately startled other lords nearby, who widened their eyes and looked over.

Even the elf priests praying inside the sanctuary were disturbed and appeared outside the sanctuary.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“This is… a gift from the Mother of Nature!”

The eldest elf was filled with shock, staring incredulously at the Tree of Origin and Lin You beneath it.

“How could a mere human receive the Mother God’s blessing!?”

“Even the High Priest received the blessing only upon appointment!”

“This… what exactly is going on?”

“Could it be there’s a new oracle from the Mother God?”

The elves exclaimed continuously, unable to believe this was true.

But the fact before them forced them to believe, and each was left dumbstruck.

Not only them.

Even Lin You, the person involved, was utterly confused.

What’s happening here?

Why is it just a small green for others.

But he directly went green all the way to the sky?

Could he be the legendary chosen one?

Unfortunately.

Before he could think further.

The sky-reaching light wrapping around him rapidly dissipated, condensing into a strange rune on his hand, gradually fading away.

Then a resplendent light cluster appeared before him.

Exactly the same as what he had seen earlier.

That’s it?

It’s over?

According to typical plot development, shouldn’t there be some extraordinary treasure or a godly buff or something, leading to the pinnacle of life?

Lin You couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

Thinking it would be some great opportunity, but it was just a burst of loud noise attracting everyone’s attention.

Luckily, he had thick skin, directly ignoring the gazes of those around him.

Then, with curiosity, he checked the information of the light cluster in front of him.

[Name: Natural Origin (Inactive)]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[Progress: 0%]

[Introduction: Required for upgrading the territory, once enough origin is collected, it can be successfully activated and upgraded to the next tier.]

[Note: Origin can be obtained by killing leader-level demons and above.]
