Chapter 562 Spending a lot of money, the generous Lord Iron Thorn!
It is extremely difficult to penetrate the interior of the tree people. This is the consensus of all the demon souls who have lurked in the Thousand Tree King City.
Because there are all kinds of strange plants, as well as warning vines that are widely spread in remote corners.
It's okay to lurk for a day or two, but as time goes by, after the plants have extracted various behavioral habits, the selection can only be made in the manager's mind.
At the beginning of the lurking period, because of this mistake, the Demon Soul Clan was cleared of nearly 800 lurking members overnight, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
But later on, as time went on and the demons grew taller, the Demon Soul Tribe also discovered various techniques to lurk among the Tree Tribes.
For example, after Soma transforms into a thorn tree man, he uses an extremely domineering walking posture. This is one of the most useful, but also relatively expensive, methods.
"Go away, you despicable coward, don't block my way!"
He tried to stretch out the branches and look like he was about to attack. Watching the tree man on the opposite side flee, Somo was amused in his heart, but his face still had a fierce look on it.
With the power brought by the Thorn Tree Man, in a short period of time, he didn't have to worry about anyone who didn't have the eyes to come up and question him.
By the time the other party reacted, he had already returned to the depression, so there was no need to worry about the risk of exposure.
"It's really a battle between dogs and men. Isn't it just luck?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him remember you, otherwise you will have to pay a lot of money to reconcile."
"The leader doesn't care and lets the Thorns show off their power in the city every day!"
"Dare you take care of it? I'll take care of you and go to the battlefield? The thorn tree people are the only unit of our tree people that can fight against the outside world. If we don't have them,"
"Stop talking nonsense, just give me the thorns and I'll do it!"
Continuing to walk boldly along the main road, listening to the whispers in his ears, Sumo moved slightly and turned sideways to enter the first store he had targeted before.
Dream Plant Workshop.
A sign with a touch of fairy tale flavor.
As one of the best plant sales shops in the Thousand Tree King City, let alone the abundant supply of goods, the various "special services" alone are enough to make the dream come true!
"Oh, this one is so rare."
As soon as he entered the door, a second-level tree man hurriedly greeted him.
He first took a look at the level of the tree canopy above Somo to determine his level of strength, and then quickly matched his service attitude through the accompanying plants.
In terms of strength, although the Dream Plant Workshop is not afraid of the Thorn Treants causing trouble, for ordinary employees like them.
If you offend the gentleman in front of you and take revenge afterwards, you will be in serious trouble!
"Ironthorn!"
Hearing Somo's deep response, the little tree man quickly shouted inside: "A fifth-level thorn tree man, Lord Iron Thorn, needs a private room, hurry up and arrange it."
In terms of development level, the shops in Thousand Tree King City, even the most powerful ones, cannot keep up with those in Liberty City.
But when it comes to service, Liberty City is far behind everyone here.
In situations where templates cannot be loaded and strength must rely on endurance or chance encounters, the concept of respecting the strong has been implemented even more thoroughly in the ancient Shu human race.
After receiving an almost all-round welcome, Sumo successfully arrived at a small room of about fifteen square meters with light steps.
At the same time, there was a third-level tree man waiting in the room for a long time.
"Lord Tieji, I will serve you today. You can call me Shufu."
"Do you want to buy ordinary plants or dream plants today?"
As soon as Somo sat down, Shufu came up to him with a smile.
Moreover, he also pushed up a piece of wood to introduce the service.
Knowing the twists and turns inside, Somo gently picked up the branch and leaned up slightly.
In an instant, a strange memory poured into his mind through the branches.
Dream Plant Shop does not sell strictly ordinary plants.
What they call ordinary plants refers to finished plants that are of better quality than other places on the market. They can be transplanted and put into use immediately after buying them.
The so-called dream plants are plants that have reached the stage of germination after their cultivation. They only need the last activation to sprout and grow rapidly.
Of course, the reason why they are sold in a state of waiting for germination is because no one knows what form they will take after germination, whether the mutation is successful or failed, whether the mutation is in a good direction, or in a direction that stretches the hips.
Therefore, buying it back is equivalent to opening a blind box.
Unfortunately, someone made some useless mutation directions, such as the Warning Vine mutating into the Massage Vine, which directly caused a wave of blood loss.
Someone was lucky enough to come up with some mutation directions with great potential, such as the Water Storage Vine that mutated into the Dark Cloud Vine, making a huge comeback and entering the ranks of the strong.
"As long as you dare to bet, you will definitely be the strong one tomorrow?"
"Hehe, according to our past examples, this statement is true. If Mr. Ironthorn wants to play, our plant shop can give you a basic plant for free to try your luck!"
Seeing the interest on Somo's face, Shufu's smile remained unchanged and he pushed out two more wood chips.
"This is the price list of ordinary plants in our plant shop. We promise that the plants sold will be returned or replaced within ten days if there are any growth problems. At the same time, we also provide paid door-to-door transplantation services. You only need to provide the address and time.
Our plant master will personally come to your door to take care of the transplantation, and give you a free garden plant restoration."
"The other is our dream plant price list. Of course, I believe that after reading it, Mr. Tie Jian will definitely think that the price of our plants is very high, so we also provide recycling services on the basis of the price, and you can cultivate it on site.
, if it is a high-quality plant, you can take it away on the spot without charge. If it is not satisfactory or not to your liking, our recycling service can recycle it at a minimum of 30% of the purchase price, and a maximum of 80% of the purchase price, so that you will not
Do you have any worries?”
The advertisement was full of temptation, and after hearing it, Sumo couldn't help but laugh.
It turns out that the changes brought about by the "invasion" of humans into the tree people are indeed not the imaginary harvest of mutant plants, but a full cultural invasion.
Under the bombardment of modern "rude" sales advertisements, it is not without reason that Dream Plant Factory can rely on this method that is almost a money scam to grow bigger and bigger.
How could it be done by an ordinary tree man?
Let’s ignore basic things like ordinary plants.
Gambling plants, like gambling stones, in thousands of trees and cities, are no less than direct propaganda with loudspeakers:
Mortals counterattack and reach the sky in one step!
"Okay, let's keep the ordinary plants. I came here naturally for the dream plants!"
Buying ready-made plants would have been the optimal solution, but there was a problem that was difficult to solve.
transportation!
Unlike the tree man, who can change the size freely, the height of the finished earth flower is at least four meters, and the diameter of the big flower is just over two meters.
After buying something like this, it would be extremely difficult to bring it out of Thousand Trees King City in a big way.
This is also the biggest reason why there have been almost no finished plants in Liberty City for such a long time.
After arranging the branches, pushing away another wood chip, and picking up the wood chip containing the price of the creation plant, Somo began to look at it carefully.
As expected, most of the plants in the Royal City Botanical Garden are sold here, the only difference is the price.
As for the several types of plants that cannot be sold, they are either extremely aggressive companion plants that can provide strong combat effectiveness without mutation.
Either they are plants with a short growth cycle and acceptable economic benefits, and are regulated plants.
"Bring me three terrestrial flowers, two rhubarb flowers, five warning vines, and two healing vines."
"There are also these blood-tonifying leaves, give me two of them too."
"Two sunshine sunflowers and two net leaves."
Following the memory in his mind, Sumo was immediately delighted and began to place orders in large quantities.
On the other side, Shu Fu immediately reacted after the initial sluggishness and began to quickly record on another wooden board.
After a long while, seeing Sumo still talking non-stop about this and that, he hesitated and said:
"Master Iron Thorn, you have placed an order for one hundred and seventy plants. Now, you have to confirm the price!"
"Uh? One hundred and seventy plants?"
Su Mo frowned, took the "bill" handed over by Shufu, and took a quick look at it.
Well, that’s a big problem!
Although these plants, he chose the lowest grade, which means they have the lowest mutation probability and are most likely to produce seeds of junk plants. The price is not cheap.
Taking the earth flower as an example, a single seed requires half a month's worth of food for an ordinary treant and 300 crimson-level rice leaves (the lowest level).
Three trees require a total of 900 rice leaves, which is enough for an ordinary tree person to work hard for three to five months.
The price of the big flower on the other side is even more outrageous. A single plant requires 500 crimson-grade rice leaves, and the total of three plants costs 1,500. The price is astonishing.
Zero and zero total, the total of these 170 plants requires 67,000 crimson grade rice leaves.
If rice leaves have been cultivated in the depression, you only need six green rice leaves to pay directly.
But now, relying on the rice leaves provided by Zhu Chuan before, Sumo had no choice but to re-select and eliminate the useless ones first.
"Master Iron Thorn, let me confirm for you again. These thirty-nine plants are... and their prices are respectively. The total requires 12,600 crimson-level rice leaves."
"Do you think we should reduce it further?"
Sumo shook his head: "No, please pick up the goods for me. I want it now. Is this enough according to Ianya?"
Soma opened the grid on his chest that was used to store rice leaves, took out the rice leaves that he had prepared when he was in the depression, and handed them over.
Among them, six or seven tree people were gathered, including the elder Zhu Chuan's secret collection.
Because there is currently enough food in the depression, there is no need for rice leaves to satisfy hunger for the time being. Soma brought almost all of them over for fear that he would not bring enough.
Only two-thirds were counted.
Shufu pushed back the remaining rice leaves with an excited look on his face and said repeatedly: "That's enough, that's enough. I'll arrange for Lord Tieji to pick up the goods right now!"
The cost of more than 10,000 yuan is considered a big deal in the Dream Plant Workshop.
For the tree people who serve Somo throughout the entire process, everyone can also receive a considerable commission.
Therefore, it only took less than two minutes for the door of the private room to be pushed open, and the tree man in charge of delivery rushed in.
"Because you spend more than 10,000 points at a time, we will give you a portable seed storage flower as a gift. You only need to plant it in a suitable place, and the seeds will be spit out."
"If you are worried, we can inspect the goods on site before proceeding"
"No!"
After interrupting the chattering of the delivery tree man, he took the palm-sized storage flower and obtained the right of ownership.
With just one glance and systematic identification, Sumo determined the number of items inside and the information on whether the other party had any hidden plot.
Fortunately, I don’t know whether it was the previous disguise that worked or whether the order was too big. The Dream Plant Shop did not do anything, and the number of plant seeds inside was completely consistent!
After skillfully throwing the stored flowers into the grid on the chest, they were temporarily saved.
Under the congratulations of a group of tree people, Sumo took big steps and left the first point in the plan gracefully.
"Well, it's going very fast. Only eleven minutes have passed. There's still enough time for the next step!"
After completing the most important task in this trip, Sumo felt relieved and his steps became brisk.
But to the outside, he still hasn't forgotten his previous disguise, like a crab coming to the royal city, walking sideways the whole time.
Soon, the time is stuck.
In some other small shops, Somo successfully spent all the rice leaves and replaced them with some portable cultivation tools and a few necessary auxiliary fertilizers for plant growth.
At this time, only seventeen minutes have passed!
After relying on his strong memory to analyze the route closest to the store, Sumo ran all the way and finally returned to the alley where he left just after nineteen minutes.
He quickly switched forms, followed the wall he climbed out of, and then ran wildly to the small room where he went to the toilet.
Sumo took out his watch and looked at it. The time was exactly nineteen minutes and fifty-five seconds!
"Hey, are you finally done?"
Hearing the sound, Zhu Xia, who was still being pestered by Sun Di and others asking questions, couldn't help but turn his head, and then he laughed happily when he realized it was Su Mo.
"Excuse me, Elder Zhu Xia. I have tidied up the place and will definitely not pollute your garden room!"
"Ha! That's great!"
Upon hearing that her small room was not "polluted", Zhu Xia's eyebrows lit up and she laughed repeatedly.
"By the way, Elder Zhu Xia, it's getting late. We think we won't go shopping this time. We'll come back next time to appreciate the scenery of the royal city."
"As you know, winter is coming soon, and these ghosts and monsters are restless. If there is an accident along the way, it will be troublesome if we are delayed!"
Pointing vaguely in the direction of the Demon Soul Clan and the Bright Empire, Zhu Xia instantly understood and nodded on the spot: "Yes, the closer winter is, the more careful we have to be. You are right to worry, so let's go to the city first.
Take a look at the door, besides, old guy Zhu Chuan probably can’t wait any longer!”
The 21st century is an era of information warfare.
This sentence can be perfectly applied to today's wasteland.
Everything is routine, but not so routine.
Zhu Xia, who didn't realize at all that Sumo had climbed out to make a big deal in the small room, honestly led everyone back to the original city gate along the way they came.
"Haha, trouble, trouble, elder Zhu Xia, wait for me and we will have a drink tonight!"
"It's easy to talk about. You can send all the distinguished guests back first!"
It was completely different from his attitude at the city gate when he came. After realizing the importance of Sumo and others, Zhu Xia's attitude also changed 180 degrees.
Seeing the items that Zhu Chuan had prepared to pack, he stepped forward with emotion and sighed while giving a few uneasy instructions.
"Elder Xia, take care. I hope to see your 'tall and majestic' figure next time I come to the royal city."
Jumping on the back of Zhu Chuan who had grown bigger again, Sun Di, who had been complimenting Zhu Xia for a long time, stood up with a look of reluctance on his face.
His eyes were filled with sincerity, and his words were filled with regret at being separated from his friends.
Feeling this outpouring of true feelings, Zhu Xia couldn't help but step forward and waved her branches excitedly:
"Easy to say, easy to say. Next time you come over, I'll still be here waiting for you."
“It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!”
The two parties agreed, and felt that his limelight had been robbed. Zhu Chuan, who had been waiting, frowned and hurriedly walked forward.
When the two tree men following him saw this, they had no choice but to follow suit and hurriedly moved forward in the direction of the depression.
Just a few minutes passed, and the Thousand Trees King City, which was like a giant beast crawling on the ground, turned into a shadow and disappeared from sight.
For most tree people, this is a very ordinary day.
It is so common that the previous day is copied every day.
No tree man knew what Somo's departure at this time meant.
Only Somo himself knows that when he comes back next time, a big mark will be carved on this territory.
