Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 114 Thousand Machine Vine

Seven o'clock in the morning, in the cafeteria on the first floor.

"This is the meat of a fourth-order mutant black bear. You two should eat more and strive to become source warriors as soon as possible."

Because the probability of an awakener appearing is too low, Li Mu did not expect Hong Pengfei and Hu Li to have such good luck. It would be good if they could become source warriors.

"Boss, can't you just hope for us? What if we become awakened?"

Hu Li's little face wrinkled and he raised his chopsticks to protest.

Li Mu tapped Hu Li's head gently with chopsticks, causing her to cry out "ouch".

Since getting to know each other, this girl has become more and more unbridled. At first, she respectfully called him "Lord City Lord", but now she just calls him "Boss".

"Can you learn from Ah Fei and see how humble he is?"

Hong Pengfei shrugged and said nothing. After joining the scientific research department, he realized that the probability of an awakener appearing was only one in a thousand, so his only hope now was to become a source warrior as soon as possible.

Moreover, ever since he was able to eat in the cafeteria of the City Lord's Mansion, he discovered that there was no limit on the amount of mutant beast meat. Now he could feel that he was on the verge of awakening.

"After dinner, the two of you go to the kitchen to get some black bear meat and distribute it to the people below. Except for the one who gets more from Mr. Shi, you two can divide the rest."

Li Mu has always believed in a principle: if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it more grass.

When others work for you, don't just make empty promises all day long. What matters is giving them more money and resources.

Like the black-hearted boss before the apocalypse, who pays 3,000 yuan a salary but wants others to do work worth 30,000 yuan, I'm sorry, I can only let the boss know what "cheap goods are not good" means!
"Great! Long live the boss!"

Hu Li raised his hands and cheered, thinking to himself: "I am almost embarrassed to eat and take at the same time, hahaha!"

Even though Hong Pengfei was usually quite calm, a smile appeared on his face at this moment.

"With the meat of a fourth-level mutant beast, Lao Ma should be able to become a source warrior now. Then he can go to the military to sign up!"

Ma Yuan had always taken care of him in the past, and now that he was capable, he naturally wanted to give back.

"Okay, after you finish eating, hurry up and find me in the lab. I have an experiment that needs your help."

Li Mu gave a faint instruction and then went down the stairs to the laboratory.

……

Half an hour later, two people came to the laboratory carrying a large box.

"Boss, all the collected metals are here. What do you need us to do next?"

Hu Li put the box down and said carelessly.

"There's nothing else to do for now. You two go practice over there. I'll find you later."

After the two joined, Li Mu had already taught them the breathing method. The laboratory was full of energy, which was perfect for them to practice.

After saying that, he walked to the material storage area and began to select suitable vine plant seeds.

Vine plants can be mainly divided into four categories: twining plants, tendril plants, clinging plants and creeping plants.

Among them, twining plants include morning glory, evergreen young hemp vine, morning glory, schisandra, asparagus fern, etc., tendril plants include clematis, ornamental pumpkin, grape, etc., adsorption plants include trachelospermum, trumpet creeper, litchi, etc., creeping plants include costusroot, bougainvillea, vinca, rose, madder, etc.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu chose four plants: morning glory, clematis, trumpet creeper and rose. He placed the four seeds in his palm and began to merge them. Under the green light, the four seeds of different sizes slowly merged into a thumb-sized green seed.

Li Mu planted it in a flowerpot and began the second step of transformation.

Thanks to the previous experience of creating the blood vine, his ideas this time were much clearer. While activating his ability, Li Mu was thinking in his mind: absorbing metal to evolve, absorbing source energy to evolve, coexisting with the human body, and splitting fonts, these four characteristics.

After consuming one-fifth of his source energy, the seed sprouted and gradually grew into a silver-white vine as thick as a little finger.

Li Mu placed his hand on it and could clearly feel the spiritual thoughts emanating from it through the source energy. Although it was a bit messy, it could be summed up in one word: "hungry"!
When he felt this thought, Li Mu couldn't help but chuckle, as if the first reaction of most creatures when they were born into this world was hunger. Then he placed the red meteorite next to the vine and directed it to start absorbing it.

After receiving Li Mu's instructions, the silver-white vines shook and instantly pierced the meteorite, and began to absorb continuously, conveying a happy emotion.

Twenty minutes later, half of the meteorite was eaten, and the vine grew from the thickness of the little finger to the thickness of the index finger, and a much clearer wave of thought came than before, "I'm full."

Li Mu looked at the half of the meteorite iron left and felt fortunate. Fortunately, the mother plant only needed to absorb the meteorite iron once, and it would only need ordinary metals and source energy to eat afterwards. The remaining ones were enough for him to do other experiments.

"Come here, both of you."

Li Mu waved to Hong Pengfei and Hu Li who were still practicing with their eyes closed.

The two of them immediately stood up and came to Li Mu. Hong Pengfei asked curiously:

"City Lord, have you finished your experiment?"

Hu Li also opened his eyes wide and looked at him expectantly.

Li Mu nodded gently, "It's done, let me tell you what it's used for."

Then, Li Mu told the two of them about the vine's ability to absorb metals to evolve, and its ability to coexist with the human body. They exclaimed in amazement: There are such magical plants in the world!
"A Fei, go get some metal."

Li Mu turned around and gave instructions.

Upon hearing this, Hong Pengfei grabbed two square iron ingots from the box and handed them to him.

Li Mu took the iron ingot and placed it in the flowerpot. He saw the vine immediately stretch out countless fine roots to bind it tightly. It took only a dozen breaths to digest the entire iron ingot.

Seeing this, he grasped the middle part of the vine with his hand and said softly, "Turn into a machete," while imagining the appearance of a machete in his mind.

At this moment, the top of the vine began to soften rapidly, gradually turning into a half-meter-long silver-white machete.

The sharp blade makes people feel cold.

"Ouch! Boss, what are you doing?"

Li Mu secretly plucked a hair from Hu Li's head, then placed it on the blade and blew it gently.

In an instant, the hair was split in two!
Hong Pengfei opened his eyes wide, took a breath, and said in surprise,
"Fuck! It's breaking my hair!"

Hu Li next to him also opened his mouth wide and looked at the scene in shock.

Li Mu showed a proud smile on his face, "Isn't it awesome?"

The two of them gave a thumbs up at the same time when they heard this. Even though they had heard about the magic of this plant, they still found it hard to believe when they saw it with their own eyes.

"As the saying goes, it can change into various forms according to the owner's wishes, so let's call it - Thousand Form Vine!"
