The Divine Plant Cult's Moves

"Why are you so tough today?"

"I'm this tough every day."

"I can't go on. Let me rest and recover my strength, or I'll faint."

Inside a resident's home in Yinlian Residential Complex.

A robust middle-aged man had just finished his pleasure with a young woman with an extremely lewd figure.

The young woman rested in bed for a while, then felt extremely thirsty, so she got out of bed and went to the living room to drink water, preparing for the next round.

Watching the young woman's slender figure disappear into the distance, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh, "The aphrodisiac effect of this Demon Charm Flower is too potent; it's almost drained all my energy."

"But it must be said that the effect of the strength increase is also fierce, it feels like the Biological Rank is about to evolve to the Tier 1."

"Hopefully, it will evolve after tonight..."

After saying this, the middle-aged man took out his pocket watch to check on Lu Gang and Wang Shujie's movements.

Seeing that the two were still located in their dorm room, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just as he was about to urge the two of them on, a quarrel broke out in the living room outside.

"Damn it, you bitch, I knew you were cheating on me with another man!"

"Honey, calm down."

"Calm down, you motherfucker!"

The sound grew closer.

Soon, a Mechanical Cyborg rushed into the room.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man on the wedding bed, the Mechanical Cyborg angrily raised its alloy arm equipped with a gun barrel, pointed the muzzle at the man, and roared with bloodshot eyes:

"You son of a bitch, how dare you steal my wife in my marital home! Believe me or not, I'll shoot you dead!"

"Shoot me dead?"

The middle-aged man laughed, showing no fear of the gun muzzle in the alloy arm in front of him, and slowly got up and walked to the Mechanical Cyborg in front of him.

Then, looking at the other person calmly, he asked, "How much did you pay for this alloy arm?"

"It cost 3 million!"

I'm so proud of my Mechanical Cyborg said.

The middle-aged man then asked, "What about the alloy calves below?"

"5 million!"

"Very good, so you know how much the renovation cost in total."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man reached out and slapped the Mechanical Cyborg's face, saying provocatively, "Ever since your wife came with me, you good-for-nothing have never lacked money for Mechanical Modification. Honestly, do you have the nerve to be angry in front of me?"

Upon hearing this, the Mechanical Cyborg aura instantly weakened, a stark contrast to his hard alloy arms.

Middle-aged man. "Tell me what you want now, or you'll miss your chance."

The Mechanical Cyborg struggled upon hearing this.

Is it better to be a tough guy with no money, or a coward with money?

About three seconds later.

The Mechanical Cyborg made a decision.

He opted for a fawning smile and said, "Brother, I'm missing an Anti-Airflow Propulsion Device. I want to experience the feeling of flying."

The middle-aged man picked up his phone from beside the bed, tapped a few times on the screen, and then looked at the Mechanical Cyborg with disdain, saying, "I've already transferred 10 million to your wife's bank account."

10 million?!

The Mechanical Cyborg was stunned for a moment, then his whole body trembled with excitement.

He steadied himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and shouted to the two of them:

"Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"This place is your battlefield tonight. You can stay as long as you want; I won't disturb you any longer."

With a very sensible air, the Mechanical Cyborg left without looking back after uttering those words.

Middle-aged man. "Stop."

"Brother, is there anything else?"

The Mechanical Cyborg stopped, turned around, and smiled obsequiously.

Middle-aged man. "That 'sister-in-law' you called me ruined my mood. She's your wife, so you should call her 'wife,' understand?"

"I understand, I understand!"

The Mechanical Cyborg nodded with a broad smile, then looked at the young woman beside him and instructed, "Wife, you must take good care of me, don't let me down."

After saying that, he turned and left again.

"Who let you leave?"

The middle-aged man's voice was extremely forceful. "Tonight, you have to stay and watch the whole thing, understand?"

"This..."

"I'll transfer another 10 million to your wife."

"Dad, I'll do whatever you say!"

The Mechanical Cyborg decisively chose to recognize the thief as his father.

The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he took out a red seed about the size of a peanut and handed it to the other person, smiling as he said:

"Alright, I like people like you who are flexible on the bottom line. You can have this Spirit Fruit; it will greatly improve your qi and blood."

"Thank you, Dad!"

The Mechanical Cyborg excitedly accepted the Demon Seed.

In the blink of an eye.

The next day arrived.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

The middle-aged man walked out of the room slowly, fastening his belt as he did so.

Although he had been fighting all night without sleep, he still looked energetic.

He took a deep breath, feeling his evolved and stronger body, and sneered, "Yuan Dongzhi, I will trample you under my feet and humiliate you severely sooner or later, and see if you will still be so arrogant then."

He muttered this to himself.

Soon, he left the house, took the elevator to the underground garage, and drove a luxury car worth tens of millions straight to Shanhai University.

He lives on the Inner Campus of Shanhai University.

On the other side.

Dormitory 603, Central Garden Building 8.

Lin Zichen got up early and focused on the Second Skin Tempering on the balcony.

After tempering for more than two hours, feeling that his internal energy and blood were almost depleted, he brought up his body tempering attribute panel to check the progress of the Second Skin Tempering.

[Second Skin Tempering: 45%]

The progress bar is almost halfway through.

At the current refining speed, the Second Skin Tempering should be completed in another week.

All I can say is that with the help of the Blood Recovery Pill, the tempering efficiency has increased dramatically.

"Xiao Chen, when did you wake up?"

Shen Qinghan, who had just woken up, was wearing a light pink nightgown and standing barefoot at the balcony door, rubbing her eyes and looking at Lin Zichen with a sleepy expression.

Lin Zichen stood up from the ground, tidying up the yoga mat under his feet as he said, "I woke up early today, before 5 o'clock."

"You're up so early! Compared to you, I feel so lazy."

"It's only 7 a. m., and it's not lazy at all for a college student to be up at this hour."

"But you got up before 5 a. m..."

Shen Qinghan doesn't compare herself to ordinary college students; she compares herself to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen stopped in front of her and gently tidied her messy hair with his hands. He said in a gentle voice, "That's different. My superpower is that I have a strong body and abundant blood and energy, so I need less sleep than most people. You don't need to compare yourself to me."

"Everyone has their own strengths, just like your special physique. Your skin is supple and smooth, and your sweat smells sweet. Also, even though you've been exercising intensely and your strength is increasing day by day, your muscles haven't gotten thicker or more muscular. You've always maintained a slim and graceful figure, making other girls envious and jealous."

"If you really want to get up early, then you should go to bed earlier from now on. Go to bed at 10 p. m. and get up early."

"Then I'd rather not. I'd much rather sleep with you than wake up early together," Shen Qinghan said languidly.

After saying that, she tiptoed and kissed Lin Zichen on the lips, smiling sweetly, "This is my good morning kiss, you have to kiss me like this every day from now on."

Lin Zichen chuckled, pinched her bottom, and urged, "Go brush your teeth, or you won't have enough time and you'll have to run to class, sweating profusely."

"It's alright, there's still plenty of time."

Shen Qinghan said that, but she still obediently went back to her room, put on her slippers, and then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Half an hour later.

After finishing breakfast, the two went out together.

When they arrived at the dormitory building and were about to part ways, two familiar figures blocked their way.

They were classmates in high school— Wang Shujie and Lu Gang.

Among them, Lu Gang, a burly man, spoke first, "Lin Zichen, could I trouble you for a moment? I have something to ask you..."

"Speak."

Lin Zichen said calmly.

Lu Gang clenched his fist and said with a reluctant expression, "There's a senior student who doesn't like me and Wang Shujie. He's been targeting us every day because he's stronger than us, and it's making things a bit suffocating for us. Could you please stand up for us?"

"You're the Newcomer King of the year, so that senior student definitely won't dare offend you and will give you face."

"Of course, we won't let you help us for nothing."

Lu Gang handed over a bag he was carrying and said, "There are several kinds of Spirit Fruit in this bag. Some can beautify the skin, some can calm the mind and refresh the spirit, and some can replenish blood and enhance male virility. They are evolution resources that my father specially sent me. I'm giving them all to you now, hoping you can help us with this."

After he finished speaking, Wang Shujie, who was standing to the side, also swallowed his pride and pleaded humbly, "Lin Zichen, although we're not very close, please do us a favor and help us out this once, considering we were classmates in high school!"

Considering they were classmates and that he also received a bag of Spirit Fruit, Lin Zichen felt he could agree to it.

However, he didn't rush to agree, but instead asked, "What's the academic level of those third-year seniors?"

"What we understand is that that person's strength is about the same as yours, around the Ordinary Rank 6."

Wang Shujie replied.

Ordinary Rank 6?

Then there won't be any pressure in helping out...

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zichen said, "Okay, wait for me at the entrance of the Pure Human Research Institute at 5:30 this afternoon, and I'll help you resolve this."

Seeing that he had agreed, Lu Gang clenched his fist and patted his chest, saying earnestly, "Lin Zichen, if you ever need my help in the future, I promise I'll be there whenever you call."

Wang Shujie: "Me too."

Lin Zichen: "It was nothing."

Lu Gang handed over some of the bag he was carrying, saying, "Lin Zichen, please accept this bag of Spirit Fruit."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lin Zichen reached out and took the bag from Lu Gang.

Lu Gang reminded him, "By the way, this bag of Spirit Fruit contains three different types."

"The white-skinned ones are good for beauty and skin, the blue-skinned ones are good for calming the nerves and refreshing the mind, and the red-skinned ones are good for replenishing blood and strengthening virility. You two shouldn't eat the wrong ones."

"Especially the red Spirit Fruit inside, whose peel wriggles, has a particularly strong effect on replenishing blood and enhancing male virility; women may experience adverse reactions after eating it."

After finishing his sentence, Lu Gang added, "Also, don't eat too many of the red-skinned Spirit Fruit. One a day at most, otherwise it's easy to get a sore throat."

Lin Zichen: "Okay, I understand."

"That's all. Wang Shujie and I will head out now. See you at 5:30 this afternoon."

After saying this, Lu Gang and Wang Shujie turned and left.

Seeing that the two had walked a little further away, Shen Qinghan immediately said to Lin Zichen with a face full of curiosity, "Xiao Chen, quickly open the bag and see the Spirit Fruit inside. I've never eaten Spirit Fruit before in my life."

"Then take one to eat on the way."

As Lin Zichen spoke, he opened the bag, intending to pick out Spirit Fruit with a white or blue peel for Shen Qinghan to eat.

Shen Qinghan leaned closer to look at the bag and said, "Pick a smaller one; I can't finish a big one."

"Okay, I'll pick a small one for you."

After Lin Zichen finished speaking, he reached into the bag and started rummaging through it.

After rummaging through the bag for a while, a red Spirit Fruit at the very bottom caught his attention.

About the size of an egg, its peel is covered with wriggling blood vessels, making it look like an animal heart.

Shen Qinghan also noticed the strangely shaped Spirit Fruit, and immediately frowned slightly, saying, "Xiao Chen, that red Spirit Fruit down there is disgusting."

Although Lu Gang had just mentioned this Spirit Fruit, she hadn't expected it to look so disgusting.

The fruit peel kept wriggling.

It looks like it's been infested with rotten worms.

It's disgusting.

Lin Zichen also found the strangely shaped Spirit Fruit disgusting.

Out of curiosity, he took the Spirit Fruit out of the bag and examined it closely.

Just as he was about to sniff the scent of this strange, Spirit Fruit...

Suddenly, his sense of Danger Perception jolted!

Immediately afterwards, a notification message slowly appeared from the Void.

[Consume the Advanced Tree Demon Gu Seed?]

Tree Demon? Gu Seed?

Can it devour?

What's going on?

Divine Plant Cult?

Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment, then, recalling the sudden spike in his [Danger Perception] just now, he immediately realized something was wrong.

At this point, Lu Gang and Wang Shujie hadn't gone very far, only about two hundred meters.

Without hesitation, Lin Zichen took a step forward and instantly rushed in front of the two men, stopping them in his tracks.

"You two, don't leave yet."

"What's wrong?"

Wang Shujie was somewhat confused.

Lu Gang, standing beside him, had a fleeting look of panic in his eyes.

Lin Zichen didn't answer his question, but instead called out to Shen Qinghan was jogging over, "Hanhan, contact your master and ask her to come over!"

"Okay, I'll contact them right now!"

Shen Qinghan responded, then stopped and took out her phone to contact Yuan Dongzhi.

She didn't understand what was going on, but that didn't matter. She only knew one thing: she should listen to Lin Zichen.

The underground of Shanhai City.

20,000 meters deep.

Inside the vast, empty Underground Palace.

An Elderly Masked Man with a somewhat hunched posture stood in front of a blood-red cane stuck in the ground, muttering a strange incantation under his breath.

Behind him stood a towering Three-Eyed Giant and a massive, enormous Giant Mutant Rat.

Both the Three-Eyed Giant and the Giant Mutant Rat remained completely silent, as if afraid of disturbing the Elderly Masked Man.

I don't know how much time passed.

The Elderly Masked Man stopped chanting, slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

It's done.

The moment he finished speaking, the blood-red cane in front of him suddenly plunged into the ground and disappeared.

The next second, the ground cracked open with large, shocking spiderweb-like fissures, and then with a loud "boom," the ground sank, creating a huge hole.

The hole was pitch black; you couldn't see anything.

"The biological coordinates on both sides have been connected, and this Biological Passage has been successfully opened."

"Next, we just need to wait for this Biological Passage to stabilize, and then we can completely connect to Source Land No. 36."

"At that time, the creatures in the Origin Land will be continuously transported to Earth."

The Elderly Masked Man spoke in an increasingly hoarse voice.
