Dawn Spider

Chapter 46 Is it illegal to bloom a flower?
Jin suspended his teaching of Golden Leaf Vine as there was nothing to teach for the time being.

The main reason is that the legal knowledge is too heavy, and it seems a little depressed. This is illegal, that is illegal, this one will be detained, that one will go to jail, and there are also death sentences. The golden leaf vine seems to be a little dull and life is meaningless.

Judging from the time of soul consciousness awakening, the golden leaf vine is still a baby less than half a year old. Legal education is much more hardcore than quality education. It is a bit cruel to instill these things into it.

...

In the morning when the sky is bright,
Jin woke up from meditation early, ran around the mound three times to stretch his legs and feet and activate his blood circulation, and then began a day of combat training.

Practice manipulating spider silk in the morning.

Jin rolled 2-meter-long strands of extremely fine spider silk into balls with a diameter of 0.5 centimeters and attached them to the carapace.

Then it began to attack the surrounding vegetation.

Due to the limitations of mental strength and consciousness, only four spider silks can be accurately manipulated at the same time.

Jin's practice has clear goals. The first goal is to have more precise and sharp control; the second is to operate more spider silk at the same time.

Hisss…

Spider silk dances and grass leaves fall.

Within ten seconds, one hundred 'Spider Silk Pills' were used up.

The gold is recycled and re-formed into small particles.

"gold……"

The golden leaf vine calls.

"what happened?"

"Look, am I going to bloom too?"

"flowering?"

Jin was delighted when he heard this.

Previously, there were concerns that the mutated golden leaf vine would not be able to bloom and bear fruit normally.

This concern can be ruled out.

Jin dropped the work in his claws, climbed up the stone pillar and onto the crossbeam of the climbing frame, scanning with his mental power to check.

After the golden leaf vine grew again, it has been focusing on the growth of the main vine. So far, it has only derived two sub-vines at the position where it climbed up the top beam.

The main vine extends from north to south along the beam.

The two vines run along the beam, one to the east and the other to the west, both just over 5 meters long.

Soon, Jin made a discovery on the vine growing westward. A young branch grew out from under the petiole, and a flower bud had just emerged on the branch.

"..."

Jin's mental power turned and swept towards the vines extending to the east. He searched carefully but found nothing.

He shifted his mental focus again and scanned along the main vine, but there was nothing there either.

"Golden Leaf Vine, just one?"

"One."

"Can't there be more flowers?"

"cannot……"

The golden leaf vine asked unhappily, "Jin, is it illegal to open a flower?"

"It's not illegal, but..."

Jin changed his train of thought and asked seriously, "Golden Leaf Vine, you can't control when it blooms, or how many flowers it blooms, right?"

"Yes."

The golden leaf vine said, not quite accurately, "Just like you flame spiders can't control how many eyes and legs you grow."

"understood."

Jin's heart sank slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

The fruit yield of Force plants is relatively small. They cannot bear as many fruits as ordinary plants, but it is not so small that they only have one flower and one fruit.

Last spring, the golden leaf vine only produced one flower. This can be understood because the plant had just been sown and had grown for too short a time, making it young and weak.

Now he is 16 months old, his soul consciousness has awakened and he has learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but he still only has one flower. This is not normal at all.

"Still something went wrong?"

"The life capsule mutated, and the life seed also mutated..."

Jin had a headache.

"Forget it. Don't think too much about it for now. We'll see next year."

"Next spring, I will definitely be an intermediate warrior, and the Golden Leaf Vine will advance at the same time. If the intermediate-level Golden Leaf Vine still only has one flower..."

Jin thought again. The seeds bestowed by the Chinese pomegranate gods were also intermediate-level, with only one flower. This change wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Without further ado, he wielded a fine spider silk with his claws, precisely slicing off the newly formed flower spike.

"Golden Leaf Vine, do you want to replenish your Force?"

"Yes! I'm injured. Give me more."

"..."

...

...on a bright spring morning,
Under the golden leaf vine tree, Jin was holding a raw stone with his claws and slowly scraping it with his front paws to release the Force. Suddenly, the rough and flamboyant mental power of the Lord of Red Cone Mountain rolled in from the mountain.

"gold!"

"silver!"

Jin put down the rough stone and turned around to check it out.

Soon, a figure appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Lord Famu and Lord Hongzhui Mountain came quickly, one in front and one behind.

"Wow! The golden leaf vine has grown so long."

Lord Famu exclaimed from afar.

"Hey! Why does it look a little weird... something's not right..."

The Red Cone Mountain Lord's mental power scanned the area, then froze. He felt somewhat suspicious of the spider, and asked, "Jin! Is there something wrong with your divinely gifted golden leaf vine seed again? I clearly remember it growing many vines... Could it be that my memory is faulty?"

Because they were too far away, Jin could only receive the mental information but couldn't answer.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain passed Lord Famu and ran over.

Jin called out, "Master of Red Cone Mountain!"

The Red Cone Mountain Master raised his claws and pointed at the Golden Leaf Vine, asking, "Am I remembering this incorrectly? I remember that last year, a lot of sub-vines grew below the main vine... Where are the vines? I can't remember this wrongly, right?"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain kept gesturing with his claws, his mind a little confused.

Jin Youyou said: "Master Hongzhui, you have a very good memory, you are not wrong."

"Are you remembering correctly?" The Red Cone Mountain Master was stunned and asked, "Where's the vine? Did you cut it? I didn't see any wound."

When a big spider broke into its territory, the golden leaf vine carefully sent out an angry, fierce and threatening mental thought.

"Oh!"

The Red Cone Mountain Lord exclaimed again, "Awakening soul consciousness? Not bad, your mental power is very concentrated and seems very strong."

"Golden Leaf Vine repels other Flame Spider Warriors. Lord Red Cone Mountain, let's talk from a distance."

Jin waved his claws in greeting and walked towards Lord Famu.

"Lord Famu!"

"Jin! Where is the Lord of Sikui Mountain?"

"He should be busy in the mountains these past few days. If he's not in the mountains, he must have gone to the wild jungle or the eastern sea, and won't be back until dusk."

Jin asked, "Lord Famu, have you returned from trading in the Southern Continent?"

"Yes."

Lord Famu replied in detail, "If there are no unexpected incidents during the journey, the trading team will return every year when the sea lemon flowers are about to bloom. When the sea lemon flowers wither, a new voyage will begin."

Lord Famu asked in doubt, "From what I've observed, the growth of the God-given Golden Leaf Vine seed couldn't be better. Should it be alright?"

"It's okay, but there have been some unprecedented and unheard-of changes."

Jin carefully considered his words and said, "At this point, I'm certain that my life capsule wasn't damaged. It was probably mutated when I accidentally ingested the thunder element. The mutated life capsule may only be able to nurture one life seed, but it can be used to nurture this life seed repeatedly, adding to its strength."

Without waiting for questions, Jin Yan succinctly explained, "Because of the Life Capsule, the Golden Leaf Vine's divinely gifted seed has also mutated, possessing the ability to transform back into a seed, and then quickly grow into a plant when sown. It can switch between seed and plant forms at will. This process is almost zero-waste, only losing a small amount of energy. It's similar to running for exercise; when you get tired, you eat and rest, and you recover quickly."

Jin finished speaking.

"..."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain looked at Lord Famu in astonishment.

Lord Famu's eight eyes were bewildered, somewhat confused.

The Red Cone Mountain Master glared at Jin again and asked, "Jin, please explain clearly what's going on."

Jin said, "Master Hongzhui, if you remember correctly, the Golden Leaf Vine did indeed originally have many vines. It transformed into a seed and grew again, replanning the plant's form and concentrating its energy on growing the main vine, resulting in only two vines."

"So amazing!"

"Is there such a strange thing?"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain looked at Lord Famu again.

Lord Famu said quietly, "I've traveled extensively for over a hundred years, making me a relatively knowledgeable spider. I've heard of all sorts of strange things happening in the southern continent, but this is the first time I've heard of something like the golden leaf vine... the first time I've seen it."

The Red Cone Mountain Master turned to look at Jin again, "Jin, why are there so many strange things happening to you?"

Jin said, "All the strange things started from accidentally eating Lei Linan. The thunder element mutated, which in turn triggered a series of mutations."

"..."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. He was speechless for a moment.

Lord Famu grasped the key point in Jin's previous words and asked, "Jin, this ability to transform into a seed and then quickly regenerate into a plant is almost zero loss?"

"It only consumes a small amount of raw energy and biomass, and has no noticeable impact on the plant itself."

This matter is indeed difficult for Zhu to understand and accept.

Jin simply said, "I'll go talk to the Golden Leaf Vine and have it demonstrate it! It requires some preparation. Lord Red Cone Mountain, could you please go to the canal and fetch two buckets of water?"

PS: I've made significant changes to Chapters 34 and 35. I've added a little more content: the protagonist guesses the universe is destroyed and speculates that the planet beneath his feet might be his home planet.
