[Individual Talent]: Youth-Preserving Flower (Senior Level Talent: When the heart is dead, it can give prematurely ripened plants a beautifying effect.)
This is also top-notch, a beauty- Youth-Preserving Flower with beautifying effects—if a batch of plants with powerful beautifying effects could be cultivated from this, the sales would far surpass those of any rock-based nutritional supplements.
How much biomass can be found in rock formations?
But how many women are there?
And who said that female pets don't need maintenance? You could say that this business opportunity alone could easily make Luo Yu the richest man on the island.
However, it seems that meeting the conditions won't be easy.
Other emotions like happiness, sorrow, and sadness are easily experienced by the Dripping Rain Butterfly, but what kind of emotion is this "heartbreak"?
Disappointment? Simple disappointment isn't enough; it has to be utter disappointment.
Imagine a pregnant woman catching her husband cheating on her during her pregnancy. She's furious, forgives him the first time, he does it again, she forgives him again, and he does it again. She'll probably be heartbroken by then, right? She'll become indifferent to everything, and even feelings of disappointment and anger will disappear. That's the kind of feeling that truly means heartbreak.
"Achieving this condition is a bit demanding----"
Luo Yu ignored it all, decided to filter them out first and continue searching.
After spending half a day, he finally found an individual that might have a significant effect on cultivating Space Vortex Tree.
[Individual Talent]: Cause and Effect Share the Same Origin (Senior Level talent: The plants that larvae eat during their growth greatly enhance the effect of ripening those plants.)
It's a perfect match for my major!
Not only can it cultivate spatial plants, but it also seems capable of cultivating time-related plants!
"Cause and Effect Share the Same Origin —if the larvae start eating the tender leaves of the ' Space Vortex Tree ' to grow, would that greatly enhance the ripening of the Space Vortex Tree '?"
"What talent!"
The stage when the Space Vortex Tree most readily dies is not the seedling stage.
Seed stage, seedling stage, sapling stage, growth stage, maturity stage, senescence stage----
Several stages; only when it reaches maturity will the wood and leaves of the Space Vortex Tree possess various extraordinary abilities.
The growth period is the most difficult stage to cultivate for the Space Vortex Tree, with the highest mortality rate, and it may require the most nutrients.
The second most important stage is the young tree stage.
However, some people do manage to raise seedlings to this stage.
If it can be raised to the seedling and sapling stages, allowing the larvae of the Dripping Rain Butterfly to nibble on the tender leaves of the Space Vortex Tree, perhaps it can become an agricultural master specializing in Space Vortex Tree cultivation.
Want to plant trees? Eat trees first!
This selection process was still worthwhile.
"Luo Yu?"
Outside the research institute, a shout came, prompting Luo Yu to end his half-day selection process. He instructed the Empress Bee to take good care of the selected Dripping Rain Butterfly.
Especially that individual with the Cause and Effect Share the Same Origin, this one is undoubtedly the Senior Level of the Senior Level, a precious gem.
Unfortunately, it has already matured into a butterfly and can no longer go through the stage of eating the tender leaves of the Space Vortex Tree as a juvenile. Since that's the case...
Go and breed them properly!
Spawn a bunch of larvae that can inherit the talent!
In this new era, there is no longer a ship capable of carrying it.
"You're here?" Luo Yu said to Shi Qianqian, "Let's go, let's begin today's acupuncture."
Shi Qianqian followed and said, "Luo Yu, I've thought about it—"
"Why don't you start giving me acupuncture too?"
"You've figured it out?" Luo Yu asked in surprise.
It seems Shi Qianqian has finally prepared herself mentally. She should have done this a long time ago. Without this much determination, how can she become stronger and achieve good results in the Abyss Trial!
Shi Qianqian's "Instant Summoning" technique, combined with the Five Senses Enhancement needles and Speed Enhancement needles, is a perfect match—it hits exactly where she points.
I'm still a little scared----
"Don't be afraid, I still have Courage Enhancement needles here."
When giving Shi Qianqian acupuncture, Luo Yu talked about other things to distract her from her fear.
With the supply school nearing completion, and a ton of fear energy to feed the Empress, we won't be short of her resources.
"I might have to go to Dragon Boat Island in a few days."
"But don't worry, just come for your acupuncture as usual. The related procedures will be handled by other staff members at the research institute, namely Lin Li."
"It's just that she might not be very skilled, and the acupuncture results might be less than ideal, so she doesn't want to come. You and the Seedling Turtle can also choose to take a break and do some other special training."
Lin Li also has Knight Bee, which can mobilize some ordinary Honey Water Bee.
However, without the Empress's enhancement, the acupuncture effect will definitely be mediocre.
"Dragon Boat Island?" Shi Qianqian asked, "Are you going there to build a boat?"
"Well, after all, we need a more suitable and exclusive warship to participate in the Abyss Trial." Luo Yu nodded.
after all----
In the first stage of the Abyss Trial, there is no fixed qualifying standard; the passing score depends on the contestants' ranking.
Only the top-ranked participants advance to the second round. Those ranked lower, while also receiving rankings and rewards, are not eligible to compete for the championship.
Luo Yu is actually quite confident about the second round of elimination matches, after all, there will be a "ground" surface then. According to previous records, it is a standard water + ground mixed field, which will allow him to exert his strength in July.
However, the first trial was conducted in a purely marine environment, mostly involving deep-sea combat, whether in July or October.
Even the Empress struggles to exert herself, so Luo Yu definitely won't be able to unleash his full power.
Fortunately, by then there should be Water Devil Beast. But even so, we should make more thorough preparations and get a good ship, so that when the ship breaks down, we won't have to ride Water Devil Beast, a giant turtle, or a broken raft and drift on the sea.
If things were to deteriorate to that point, hunting efficiency would certainly decrease further, and what if—I'm just afraid of what might happen.
If I don't even make it to the second round and am eliminated in the first, I'll have no face to face the elders of Jingyue.
"I'll go with you," Shi Qianqian said. "Our family is a long-time customer of Dragon Pearl Company, we have connections, maybe we can get you a discount."
"Besides, didn't we say that the first stage of the Abyss Trial requires a team? Once we've built the new ship, we can just sail it back from Dragon Boat Island —I've really had enough of that Frost Moon."
"Which shipyard built this ship? The beginner's practice ship I used on the Azure Billows Continent was easier to drive than this."
"----"Where else could it be made? It's already called Frost Moon."
Luo Yu asked, "You want to go too?"
"Is it inconvenient?" Shi Qianqian asked, looking aggrieved.
"No, there's nothing inconvenient about it. To be precise, are you planning to come with us by yourself, or will your mother come along too?"
Shi Qianqian said, "My mother and I will go alone, and when we come back, we'll continue to have her secretly protect us. We'll return on the new boat—ah!!!!"
The Honey Water Bee suddenly stung her.
Luo Yu nodded. It wasn't a bad idea. Buying a new boat was like buying a new car; the first thing you had to do was test drive it, otherwise, it would be a waste of money.
After giving Shi Qianqian and the Seedling Turtle their injections for the day, Luo Yu began his routine inspection of the Ink Fish and Honey Water Bee's egg-laying activities.
Meanwhile, on Ink Fish's side, the second batch of Senior Level talents is almost ready.
Besides the "Mercy" ones, which were bred earliest and are more numerous, there is another type of Ink Fish with special talent that Luo Yu is currently focusing on cultivating.
Naturally, they became known as "Antivirus Master," and many Breeding Paragon were assigned to them.
After all, the Tidal Corpse Transformation is approaching, and the Abyss Trial doesn't guarantee an alliance with the Orca Clan. Therefore, we need to make multiple preparations. We definitely need to evolve more Water Devil Beast with the Antivirus Master talent. Even if we can't form an army before the Zombie Tide, we should at least form a special combat squad.
Next up is the Ink Fish with Rock Element Affinity, " " Coordination Master, " and " Eight-Sword Style."
Actually, this is the highest priority among Luo Yu's many breeding projects.
However, because Luo Yu pursues perfection—he has been creating ordinary Ink Fish with high double stats—the breeding time required is destined to be much longer than breeding fish with only one stat.
If he only wanted to evolve a Rock-type Water Devil Beast, he would only need to gather more than 100 Rock Element Affinity individuals. However, Luo Yu obviously did not want to do that to July. Those Rock Element Affinity individuals must also have a Coordination or Eight-Sword Style talent attribute to increase their energy control talent.
Only in this way can the strongest familiar Water Devil Beast, be evolved, the Water Devil Beast most suited to the shapeshifting ability.
This results in a significantly lower success rate. To breed over 100 high-quality individuals with dual talent attributes, Luo Yu needs to spend several times the time required to breed individuals with only one attribute.
However, based on the available data, Luo Yu estimated the timeframe and concluded that he should be able to gather enough before the Abyss Trial.
There's even a month to train its tactical understanding with July!
Before QQ Farm was established, the group of Dripping Rain Butterfly temporarily squeezed into the Honey Water Bee Farm.
Under Luo Yu's arrangement and the Empress's Command, the Dripping Rain Butterfly of Cause and Effect Share the Same Origin has begun mating with a Dripping Rain Butterfly with longevity and talent.
Unfortunately, as Low-Rank Species insectoid species, the Dripping Rain Butterfly has a very short lifespan. In order to create a few "veteran employees," it's best to pass on the longevity talent first.
In addition, the first thing that the other Dripping Rain Butterfly that Luo Yu carefully selected did upon arriving here was to mate and pass on their superior genes. Otherwise, if one of them suddenly died, Luo Yu would have to find a replacement.
After confirming that the Dripping Rain Butterfly was doing well and adapting well to its new environment, Luo Yu came to check on the Honey Water Bee breeding situation. What he saw made Luo Yu gasp in shock.
The reason is simple: he had only given the parents, who are said to have More Children, More Blessings, the Time Nectar not long ago, and they—incredibly—had already produced two offspring with obvious time-related talents!!!
"This is amazing! The Empress can have another knight as her retainer."
Luo Yu couldn't help but exclaim that he was incredibly lucky, truly deserving of the saying "More Children, More Blessings," as his "Hundred Poisons Physique" had gradually begun to exert its power!
On the shimmering egg, powerful data caught Luo Yu's eye.
[Individual Talent]: Punctuality (Common talent, possessing a stronger sense of time than ordinary individuals)
Of course, this is clearly not the powerful one.
They gave birth to two offspring related to time, which is another one.
[Individual Talent]: Insect's Premonition (Senior Level talent, when the battle nerves are at their most excited, one can foresee the enemy's battle trajectory a few seconds later and predict the future battle scene----)
