Chapter 49 - 40: Selective Breeding (1/2)

Raphtalia: ”Something like this?”

Naofumi: ”Yea, we should contact the village after this”

Seed of Miracles... We who subjugated the Bio Plant, which was Motoyasu's failure, are currently collecting seeds.

I let my shield absorb any seeds that it reacted to.

Requirements for Bio Plant Shield have been revealed.

Requirements for Plantriwe Shield have been revealed.

Requirements for Mandoragora Shield have been revealed.

Bio Plant Shield

Equipment Bonus: Plant Remodelling <Unmastered>

Special Effect: Hook

Plantriwe Shield

Mandoragora Shield

I've unlocked the plant skill tree for my shield. Although it's been unlocked, it still seems insufficient.

Naofumi: ”Plant Remodelling?”

I switched to the Bio Plant Shield and test out what plant remodelling does.

An icon appeared over the seed that I look at.

The seed floats in the air.

First of all, I'll lower everything.

The window makes a beeping sound as the values decrease.

All other statuses were decreased while increasing one.

Special Ability

Hmm... I don't understand.

Well, all it has is growth powers, is that even good?

Oh, my MP decreases when I use this skill, it's almost empty.

Raphtalia: ”Naofumi-sama?”

The modified Bio Plant seed that I made was dropped by accident.

”Oo!”

The ground immediately becomes lush and green

But...

”What?”

It grew in abundance for about 3 meters and then withered instantly.

Raphtalia: ”What are you doing?”

Naofumi: ”Ah, I'm experimenting with Plant remodelling using that seed”

Raphtalia: ”Please don't do something so dangerous!”

I was scolded by Raphtalia.

Well, if it was someone else who did that, I would be angry too.

But, this skill is really interesting.

It seems I'll be able to make huge profits if I utilize it correctly.

Raphtalia: ”Naofumi-sama, your smile looks rotten”

Naofumi: ”Anyway, let's return to the village”

Raphtalia: ”Yeah”

We were greeted by silence as we walked out of the brown plant zone.

Villager: ”Thank you Hero-sama”

Humans work for profit.

After I save the village I am welcomed gratefully.

Well, it would be impossible to live in the village with all those dead plants.

That day, we ended up cleaning all the withered plants.

Even if the main body is destroyed, the fruit and potatoes remain, It seems there won't be a food shortage for a while.

But I'm a little worried about the soil.

Naofumi: ”Aren't you going to return to a famine?”

Villager: ”Well... that's very likely”

In the near future, this village might be deserted.

After thinking it through, I push forward my plant remodelling plan.

I don't understand what special ability is yet.

By looking at a seed, the plant analysis menu pops up.

I equip the Mandoragora shield and go to bed.

The next morning, I change to the Bio Plant shield and continue remodelling.
