A suspected "Tide" outbreak in the forests of the Baiyue Province?! Visitors from Alpha Centauri stated—You seem to have become a little too urbanized.
—"Goblin Observer"
It was reported that Gaia's envoy, currently visiting Fries Port, displayed psionic traits and successfully established a mental connection with the mutant slime mold mother nest in the Baiyue Province, accelerating plant growth throughout the region!
The specific effects and range of this ability, as well as whether it can be applied in other fields, remained unclear. We call on The Alliance to disclose more valuable information, satisfy the curiosity of wastelanders everywhere, and address His Majesty Saren's concerns.
According to unofficial sources, ever since learning that The Alliance possessed even more powerful psychic interference technology, His Majesty had moved out of his original bedroom and into an iron house.

Sitting behind his desk, Chu Guang listened attentively as Heya reported on the latest research into the mother nest in the Baiyue Province.
"The analysis results are in. The suspected 'Tide' phenomenon in the Baiyue Province was caused by a special pheromone released by the Nago original strain, which catalyzed the accelerated growth of vegetation in the forest."
At that point, Heya paused briefly before continuing.
"According to our findings, this pheromone does not merely accelerate plant growth. It also prolongs animals' mating periods, thereby accelerating the reproduction rate of local wildlife... These clues are sufficient to prove that the Baiyue Province's ecological environment is entirely governed by the mother nest consciousness active in that region."
Well, damn.
Extending animals' mating seasons was something else...
Chu Guang's expression turned a little strange. He suddenly found himself wondering whether this would accelerate population growth in the Baiyue Strait region.
