Chapter 560 Three Plants, Expanding Ambition!
On the negotiating table.
The displayed momentum is part of it, and the information gap obtained before the negotiation is part of it.
But apart from that, there is more to the game revealed in the constant testing of each other after getting to the negotiating table.
Compared with humans who have been impacted by information flow, Zhu Ling's gaming skills are much worse, but this does not mean that he does not understand the twists and turns.
After he finished speaking, he saw a trace of surprise "naturally revealed" on Su Mo's face. He smiled with satisfaction, feeling grateful that he had made a comeback.
At the same time, he was a little scared.
Just an unknown person in heaven, an ordinary human being who seems to pose no threat, can have such abilities.
If Sumo, the King of Humanity, had come over, today's situation would probably be even more difficult to end, and I don't know how much we would suffer when the actual negotiations started.
“What, you are not happy?”
"It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure. Lord Zhuling wants to invite me. I'm really honored."
Standing up with a weird look on his face, he looked at Sun Di and the four people behind him, holding back their laughter and showing a constipated expression.
Su Mo felt happy and quickly changed the topic and followed Zhu Ling.
It’s really hard to find anything without trying to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.
Before arriving at the Treant territory on this trip, the most important task for everyone was to explore the bottom and discuss a joint attack on the Dwarf Blackstone Camp.
Unexpectedly, the task was easily completed before it really started, and it was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
Stepping out of the hut, I saw Zhu Ling coming out at the lead. Zhu Xia and others waiting at the door hurriedly greeted them with eager faces.
"Hey, leader, is it over?"
Zhu Ling snorted with his nose and moved the branches: "No, I will take a few distinguished guests to see the treasures of the tree people first. , By the way, you go and arrange a lunch, I want to entertain the arrival of several distinguished guests!"
I am embarrassed to say that I was suppressed throughout the negotiation, and watched Zhu Xia take the order and leave! Go, Zhu Ling was obviously relieved.
Then, he took a group of five people with him.
Everyone walked around the hut and began to walk deeper into the Thousand Trees King's City.
Different from the masonry walls outside, once inside, you can see vines spreading forward everywhere on the ground, moving their tentacles slightly.
Seeing the crowd coming, the vines first touched Zhu Ling's body affectionately, and then quickly dispersed as if they had received instructions, leaving a way for everyone to pass.
“This is the first line of defense in our city, the warning vine. Its existence prevents us from worrying about enemies sneaking in and causing trouble after we go to bed at night.”
"At the same time, the growth rate of this vine is also extremely impressive. We have currently derived three varieties. In addition to the warning vine, there are also the narcotic vine and the healing vine."
"Although the narcotic vine does not have a powerful attack It has strong power, but being entangled by it will give even the most powerful enemy a headache. The healing vine can be crushed and applied to the wound, which has a very good effect on external injuries."
Facing this everywhere Yes, vines, Zhu Ling said proudly with his chest raised, and then started to introduce the sales method like a salesman:
"Currently, we do not restrict the sale of finished vines to external parties, but the breeding method is kept secret for the time being. If Heaven needs it, we can sell three kinds of vines at a preferential price."
"Only one fairy fruit can be exchanged for fifty square meters of warning vines, thirty square meters of anesthesia vines, and five square meters of healing vines. ! ”
In terms of price, the number quoted by Zhu Ling is not high.
Based on the fact that it only takes 50 ml of nether energy water to create a fairy fruit, it only takes one day's output from the well to replace enough vines for warning.
"Oh? What if we buy it back and create more varieties?"
After a pause, Sumo added curiously.
Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Ha, don't think about this. Our vines are not plants that you humans think of. How can you create them without breeding methods? Besides, I I have heard about your human hybridization methods. This method does have some effects on soulless plants, but when it comes to us, it is simply playing the piano to a cow."
"Do you know what is flowing in our branches? Do you know where the soul of the plant is stored? Do you know how much it costs to cultivate a new plant? You know."
Su Mo: "Including the golden silk green of Lord Zhu Ling?"
"Uh"
Finally found an opportunity to "reduction strike", Zhu Ling originally wanted to attack The hybridization method was used to attack and demonstrate one's superiority as a higher plant.
But the next second, when he heard the words from Sumo's mouth, his expression suddenly choked, and the words he had not finished were stuck in his throat.
"Lord Zhu Ling, don't worry. We are just making a routine inquiry. This is our lord's wish. As for whether it can happen, who knows? After all, we have never come into contact with this magical plant, right?"< br>
After being comforted for no reason, Zhu Ling opened his mouth as Sumo lowered his head and curiously touched the vines on the ground, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
The ancient tree human race is indeed peace-loving.
But this is the slogan they shouted after they occupied an entire planet.
Before the occupation, facing other powerful plants, the tree people fought bloody battles and relied on force to establish their dominance.
This can also be seen from their choice of location in the New World.
Their ambitions are not as modest as they say, and their plans are not half worse than other alien races in the New World.
But unfortunately, their current discomfort is stuck at this point.
Facing the neighbors around me now, once they cannot suppress everything with force and have to use their brains, this feeling of powerlessness will suddenly become stronger.
Due to the various characteristics of the ancient tree people, they were unable to spread their territory like the dwarves, develop vigorously, and rely on their numbers to gain an advantage.
They can't be as flexible as the Demon Soul Clan, who can infiltrate their own clansmen into various tribes, constantly harvest information and send back a steady stream of resources.
Even if the Bright Empire launched a war so arrogantly, they couldn't do it!
The combat power of the tree people is very powerful, but that is compared with other plants.
Once you encounter these alien races that you have never seen before.
Their attack methods can only be ordinary and simple physical attacks such as smashing, throwing, and pumping.
Their height makes them a natural target for their opponents.
Even their defenses, in some senses, are not much different from humans. Once their defenses are "broken", they can only wait to die.
As a lord, Zhu Ling wanted to change everything more than once.
His plan was obvious during these two months in the New World.
It is to use the early stage to hibernate and quickly absorb the technology of other alien races, and use it to the companion plants, the main combat power tool of the tree people.
Wait until a batch of companion plants that are adapted to the current environment are completely cultivated, then show your fangs and attack aggressively.
But the idea is often beautiful, but the reality is very disappointing.
Even though the tree people tried their best to absorb humans at all costs, other alien races entered the territory and studied together.
On the mutation of companion plants, their progress is still poor.
“Maybe.”
With a faint thought, when he walked forward again, even Zhu Ling himself didn't notice that the hostility he had always maintained had dissipated a lot.
Looking at the five curious people in the depression along the way, his tone couldn't help but soften.
After a long while, he once again passed through a door made of vines, and then he slowly said:
"What the distinguished guests are going to enter next is the super-large planting of our tree people. Garden, please don’t disappear from my sight after entering to prevent misunderstandings.”
“Also, some plants can be touched and I will tell you. Some plants cannot be touched. Please do not go up to avoid this. Accident”
After raising his branches and beckoning the two tree guards at the door to step back, Zhu Ling took the lead and walked inside.
At first glance, Shuren's plantation looks somewhat similar to the artificial greenhouses on Earth. As soon as he entered the plantation, Zhu Ling did not cover himself. He pointed at the light yellow film in the sky and introduced:
“This film looks like a formed plant, but in fact it is formed by gluing the spores secreted by a plant.” “His function is very simple, which is to regulate temperature and humidity. Let the plants inside not be affected by extreme weather"
Sumo stepped forward: "Oh? This thing can keep a large area warm?"
Zhu Ling shook his head: "I know what you mean. At what you humans call minus thirty degrees, it can indeed provide a certain amount of heat preservation to keep the temperature inside above zero. But after this limit, it will There is no other way. At most, we can only raise the temperature by about ten degrees to maintain the heat inside."
"This thing is not valuable. If you need to use it to protect the planting land, we can give some away for free. All you need is You just have to pay for the processing."
Feeling the obvious change in Zhu Ling's attitude, Sumo was stunned. First he showed a friendly smile, then lowered his head and continued to observe other novel plants.
The change in Zhu Ling's attitude was both expected and unexpected.
As early as the moment he detected the attributes earlier, Sumo had already fully understood the current constraints of the tree people and what Zhu Ling really needed.
Compared to the companion mutant plants they desperately needed to reverse the situation, even the "fairy fruit" couldn't compare to it.
After all, the former can be applied to the entire tree people race, but the latter can only be applied to high-end combat power. Zhu Ling naturally knows which one is more important.
But what Sumo didn't expect was that Zhu Ling could react so quickly and lower his body.
Even if Sumo knows their urgency to cultivate the human race, they will not hesitate!
“It seems that the tree people must have worked hard during this period, but the effect is probably not good. This is obviously a hurry.”
After coming to this conclusion and looking at Zhu Ling talking eloquently not far away, Sumo's heart moved slightly, and some thoughts fell into his mind.
The time spent visiting went by very quickly.
Although there are many plants in the greenhouse, not many of them are really useful and can be applied in practical applications.
After all, the ancient tree people did not expect that one day these plants they cultivated would be traded to other creatures.
On the way back with Zhu Ling, Sumo sorted through them and remembered three more important plants.
First, of course, I have seen the land flower before, which can upgrade the fertility of the land.
If such plants can be planted in large areas in lowlands, it will definitely reduce the trouble of villagers taking care of the land and make planting easier.
At the same time, the scale can also become larger.
Second, it is a flower that can accelerate the growth of plants, the Rhubarb flower.
According to Zhu Ling, this kind of large flower can significantly speed up the growth efficiency of plants and shorten the time of plants.
Among plant cultivations that often take several years, Rafflesia has a prominent position and is a must-have.
Furthermore, Zhu Ling also bluntly said that the big flower can speed up the growth of rice and wheat, which is clearly a temptation to take advantage of the lowland.
Third, there is a spore plant that seems to be of little use, but in Sumo's eyes it has extremely high trading value, the Wanwei Spore.
This spore plant can split into thousands of finger-sized fruits each time it matures.
The function of this fruit, as the name suggests, is its taste!
Ten thousand fruits have different tastes.
According to Zhu Ling's explanation, they have also made efforts to eliminate some bad flavors and retain the more delicious flavors.
But it is very helpless. After so many years, the genetic sequence structure of S. tenuifolia has been found to be impregnable.
This directly leads to the fact that every time I use this thing, it is like opening a blind box. It is likely that I have to try dozens of them in a row before I can find a useful one to add to meals or integrate it into other plants.
“Here we are, in front is the canteen where we will entertain you”
"The food is simple, please don't dislike it!"
Following Zhu Ling's lead, everyone's visit finally ended up in a wooden house in the inner city.
When in town, do as the Romans do.
As soon as he walked in the door, Sumo smelled the familiar smell of Chinese stir-fry.
In the room, there were still a few humans who had not finished serving the food. When they saw the group of people coming in, they also cast their eyes over curiously.
"Okay, everyone, go down, I want to entertain the distinguished guests!"
Without giving Sumo a chance to speak, Zhu Ling took the rest of the plate first and drove away everyone present.
When he put it down, everyone also sat down.
There are not many plates on the dining table, but at a glance, you can see that there are more than two hands.
There are fish, meat, a few plates of green vegetables, and a large bowl of rice and steamed buns.
Obviously, the tree people had put a lot of thought into this meal and done enough homework.
"Lord Zhuling, thank you for your hospitality!"
Calling up the system identification and scanning to confirm that all the dishes were non-toxic, Sumo put his hands together and made a standard thank you present.
Zhu Ling was the second alien lord Sumo saw in the New World.
Compared with the stone ninjas of the Demon Soul Clan, he is obviously much wiser and has stronger methods.
No matter the position, for such a lord who is willing to lower his own status, not to put on airs, and is willing to sincerely consider other people in the territory.
Sumo still had a hint of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Eat quickly. The food will be delicious when it is cold. After you finish eating, we will discuss the details."
Feeling the kindness radiated by Sumo, Zhu Ling smiled with relief. He smiled, stretched out a branch and pulled a wine bottle from the side to drink alone.
At this point, of course Sumo would not refuse.
As he moved his chopsticks first, the four villagers in the depression who followed him understood instantly and began to enjoy the meal.
When it comes to the taste of food, this cook from the Tree Tribe is naturally inferior to the five-star chef from the depression.
But with some unique seasonings and extremely fresh vegetables, even Somo devoured this meal.
Waiting until the last basin of Baiwei Frog Soup was finished by Sun Di and the bowl on the table was empty, Zhu Ling patted the floor with a smile on his face, and the tree man guarding the door came in and started cleaning up.
After a while, the table became clean again, leaving only three bottles of sake on the table.
"I know that you Chinese people like to talk about cooperation at the wine table. Come on, Lord Somo must have given you a lot of authority regarding cooperation, right?"
He offered a new glass of wine with a smile and congratulated him. Ling's eyes came over.
But strangely, what he was looking at was not Sun Di sitting in the middle, but Somo sitting next to him.
Obviously, he also discovered that Sumo was the one who could really cause trouble in the entire team.
After all, whether it was Somo's unique temperament, the inadvertent gathering of people's eyes while walking, or the calmness of his conversations, they all confirmed his judgment time and time again.
"Yes, my authority is not small, but if you want to promote cooperation, it depends on the sincerity of Lord Zhu Ling!"
Sumo was not surprised at all when his almost nonexistent disguise was exposed. He shook his head slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
In the past, Sumo still had the idea of finding a tool man for the ancient tree people as an ally.
But now, after observing the emptiness of the tree people and the internal social structure, his ambition cannot be stopped.
It swelled!
