Chapter 40

Selective Breeding

Raphtalia: "Something like this?"

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

Requirements for Bio Plant Shield have been revealed.

Requirements for Mandoragora Shield have been revealed.

Bio Plant Shield

Special Effect: Hook

Plantriwe Shield

Unsealing completed... Equipment Bonus: Plant Analysis

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.

I fed some magic to the seed of a Bio Plant that I picked up earlier.

Productivity 9

Immunity 4

Growth Potential 9

Special Ability

What is that?

The window makes a beeping sound as the values decrease.

Productivity 1

Immunity 1

Growth Potential 43

Special Ability

Hmm... I don't understand.

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

Naofumi: "Ah, I’m experimenting with Plant remodelling using that seed"

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

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

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

Oops, did it show on my face?

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

After I save the village I am welcomed gratefully.

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

But I'm a little worried about the soil.

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

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

I equip the Mandoragora shield and go to bed.

Productivity 9

Immunity 4

Growth Potential 9

Special Ability

Mutation Range Expansion.

I see... This was the original ability of the Bio Plants.

It might not be a bad idea to nip the problem at its root.

There are special instructions next to each item.

This village is troubled by the second coming of the famine.

Fertility 4 is simply the power to increase. We don't need too much so I'll lower it.

Productivity 15 should be the ability that produced fruit. To combat the famine I'll increase it.

Vitality 6 is this the power to grow anywhere? Let's drop it a little.

Immunity 4 is the power to resist sickness. Because the herbicide is effective I'll leave it alone.

Intelligence 1 What the heck is this, does it give it a demon's intelligence? I don't know what increasing it might do.

Growth Potential 15 the speed at which it grows. Let's increase this.

Variability 1 this is probably the cause of plants becoming demons.

Special Ability, I add in an ability that increases quality of crops and cancel the Mutation ability.

Raphtalia: "Is something wrong?"

Raphtalia stirs and asks me sleepily.

It's an annoying plant, but it tastes good.

Raphtalia: “You’re still at it?"

Even if I can go shopping from different areas, it's impossible for this amount of people.

The plant grows and covers a corner of the former village site.

Villager: "Wh-What's happening?"

The people who were resting near the camp run up to get a closer look.

Naofumi: "Ah my bad, it's just a little experiment."

And......

Villager: "Yea…"

I sprinkled some herbicide to wither the plant. I hand the seed over to the feudal lord there.

Naofumi: "Well them, we'll be on our way, bye-bye."

Firo who was already awake and stuffing herself with tomatoes prepares to pull the carriage.

Villager: "Please wait!"

Villager: "We still haven't rewarded you yet. How abo-"

Naofumi: "Are you fellows having difficulty with stock processing, and going to push the problem on me?"

3 of the carts were loaded with crops that came from the Bio Plant.

I reluctantly received it because they presented it with a smile.

The journey continues while the carriage shakes.

Additionally, after I realised the herbicide could be used as a weapon. I went to play with treants.

I don't understand its standards.

Let’s think of a way to use the food that cannot be eaten first.

Firo: "Okay~!"
