Chapter 293: Steve Chapter 290
A Few Days of Interstellar Travel.
Fang Mo originally thought it would be boring.
However, what he didn't expect was that everyone in the Guardian of the Galaxy was indeed talented, with jokers, critics, and even a mascot to bring good luck. These days have been quite fulfilling for him.
First, there was Drax.
This guy had already developed the habit of talking to frying pans.
Strictly speaking, creatures sealed into Tinker Construct weapons can indeed communicate with their wielders. Previously, the Dwarf King Eitri was almost influenced by the Fire Demon Sword.
But Ronan is not on the same level as Surtur. Sealed away, he was like a great grudge. Drax tortured him every day, almost like being in jail and finding out that one cellmate is a clown and the other is Tangseng. It was maddening.
Occasionally, as Fang Mo passed by the toilet, he could hear Drax's voice inside.
"Look at you, Ronan... You were once the extraordinary prosecutor of the Kree Empire, and now, you're trapped in a pot."
"..."
Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord took turns driving the spaceship every day and didn't bother with Drax's madness anymore.
As for Groot.
Fang Mo found that Groot seemed particularly friendly towards him.
This was probably because of the Ring of Arcana. After all, Groot is a plant. If Fang Mo wanted, he could even control his body, but there was no need for that.
However, after getting permission, Fang Mo tried the forestry pruner on Groot.
This tool was something Fang Mo got during his luxury seven-draw in Asgard, but it was never useful. After all, its function in the game was to trim leaves and sprouts, which was useless in reality. But fortunately, he met Groot today and decided to try it out.
Steve held the precision pruner and started to work on Groot's head.
Before long, a burst of white light emerged from Groot's head, followed by something like a seed falling down.
"Alright, I'll keep the seed."
Fang Mo patted Groot's shoulder, then let Steve right-click Groot with bone meal: "Here's your nutrient fee, I'll find you again if needed."
"I am Groot. (No need to be polite, we are friends.)"
Groot was always slow and obviously didn't understand Fang Mo's 'desperate for offspring' joke. He smiled kindly: "If you need, you can find me again."
"Sure, definitely next time."
Fang Mo nodded and then happily left with the seed.
Back in his cabin, Fang Mo began to study the seed in his hand.
His original intention was to create a creature similar to Groot, then continuously use the pruner for seeding, or even propagate a bunch of tree people through cuttings.
But since this was Fang Mo's first time studying this, and he didn't know the principle behind it, he infused a lot of natural energy from the Ring of Arcana into it without precise control. This caused the seed to grow wildly, but it didn't turn into a tree person, instead, it became a real tree.
"What the heck?"
Fang Mo was also stunned, fiddling with the tree: "Hey, where did the brain of this tree go?"
He tried to use the Ring of Arcana to control the tree, to make it take the shape of a tree person. However, while it did change, the tree person simply obeyed his commands and did not have self-consciousness like Groot.
Fang Mo then tried to infuse a bit of life energy into it.
The tree immediately blossomed.
"No... why are you blooming now?" Fang Mo was numb. The Harvest Goddess Ring indeed accelerated plant growth and had the ability to ripen, but even Groot didn't bloom. So why did this seed blossom directly?
"Could it be a problem with the MC pruner's judgment?"
Fang Mo concentrated in thought and realized the problem might lie with the pruning tool. After all, it was used by Steve and probably followed some logic from the MC world. Maybe the seeds produced by the MC pruning tool only inherit properties, not thoughts or something like that?
This was a bit awkward.
It turned out to be a futile effort to borrow seeds.
"Forget it, I'll just make do and treat it as a potted plant for now," Fang Mo rubbed his temples, feeling like he really drew the short straw: "I should have just broken off a branch from Groot directly. It was such a hassle to borrow seeds, and in the end, I got an idiot..."
Honestly, Fang Mo didn't ask Groot for seeds to enhance his strength.
He just wanted to create something like Maokai Aeon to cause trouble. After all, considering Groot's strength in the movies, relying on him was not as good as summoning Twilight Thorn...
"Huh?"
But thinking of Twilight Thorn, Fang Mo suddenly paused: "Wait, Twilight Thorn?"
"Twilight... Thorn?"
Fang Mo felt something stir in his mind, but it was elusive, so he frowned and thought deeply.
After a long while, Fang Mo suddenly looked at the blooming tree person in front of him.
An idea emerged in his mind.
So, Fang Mo took a Thorn Rose from Steve's hand. This flower of the Twilight Thorn was about a meter in diameter, like holding a millstone.
Fang Mo plucked all the petals off and then thrust the flower's core onto the tree person.
Yes, this was Fang Mo's new idea. If grafting didn't work, then he would simply try hybridization. After all, the forestry mod did have a setting for hybridization. Now with Steve standing beside him and the effect of the Harvest Goddess Ring to accelerate ripening, maybe it would work?
Fang Mo just wanted to give it a try.
Without much hope.
However, this bizarre hybridization experiment somehow succeeded.
The flowers on the dull tree person withered, but one of them slowly nurtured a fruit.
The fruit quickly ripened and fell to the ground.
As the wooden shell cracked open, a brown seed rolled out.
Fang Mo tentatively infused natural energy with his Arcane Ring. The seed burst open and grew into a thin, brown thorny vine. Then, the thorns slowly twisted and entangled, forming a tree person similar to Groot.
After forming, the tree person looked around and soon noticed Fang Mo.
"Huh? It worked?"
Seeing the sentient behavior of the tree person, Fang Mo was surprised. But then, as if realizing something, he directly asked the tree person: "You... you wouldn't just be able to say a few words like Groot, right?"
"?"
The tree person looked at Fang Mo somewhat bewildered, not understanding his meaning.
"Try imitating my speech..."
Seeing the tree person's reaction, Fang Mo guessed that it had just been born and didn't know how to speak. However, he had taught the young Ender Dragon before, so this one should be no different. He then said: "Come on, repeat after me..."
"I... am... your Father..."
The tree person looked at Fang Mo and spoke in a dry voice.
