Chapter 227: Lord’s Solution Is Pregnancy Luck? (2)
In every Isekai story, there is one recurring element that Luis wanted so badly that every night during his first week as reincarnated Moon Elf Lord, he would look up at the sky and ask with a blaming tone, "Why? Why? Why did you not give me any appraisal skills?"
Getting thrown into a world with a new ecosystem is already crazy, and what is even more bane to his sanity is the uncertainty that he could not solve.
However, now, it appears that the heavens listened to his whining, and he sees a translucent box hovering in front of him that is not the system interface.
"I finally have that appraisal skill!" Luis cheered once again, totally forgetting that there were other people present in the smithy. They are just looking at Luis with their hearts thumping hard as silver and green light start to weave a blurry green box. Once again, they see the magnificent symbol shining on the Moon Elf Lord’s forehead.
"Do not overdo it!" They heard the Moon Elf Lord’s mate’s loud voice in concern.
"My Lord, please take it easy!"
"We could try other means, My Lord! Please don’t stress yourself!"
They all said to the Moon Elf Lord. On the other hand, Luis gave them a toothy grin and a thumbs up, easing their worried heart.
The Moon Elf Lord excitedly studied the translucent green box before him and learned that it exposed the characteristics of the so-called Potty Grass.
[Potty Grass
-A non-mana-reliant species of highly resilient perennial shrub that could withstand extreme environments.
-Its fleshy leaves store moisture to live in extremely arid places and absorb toxins in the air. The toxins collected were then purified inside its leaves, turning into red water. This moisture in the dyed leaves was retained longer than the ordinary ones—making them capable of living without watering for 30 to 50 days in the hottest and harshest environment.]
"So that explains why it could live near an active volcano!" Luis inwardly cheered. This is ideal for the metal Clans, given that the majority of their lands are rocky and have minimal water reservoirs.
[-despite its ability to collect poisonous gas, none of its parts is toxic.
-it could grow at a maximum of 2 meters in height and reproduces asexually through offsets (daughter plants produced through mother plant)]
Then, right under that, were the words saying, [Modifiable traits: 2 Energy Needed: N/A (shall be stated once modifications are specified)]
So just like Luis’ Sucker’s Touch, Property Manipulation comes with a supplementary add-on! It’s a double happiness all over again!
Luis looked at Xagrien, who was silently looking at him with a little smile on his lips. Ever since he added Xagrien to his system, he’s been getting a lot of twos. It is a blessing for Luis, who is a sucker for freebies.
Wait, does this have something to do with him carrying a twin?
That question could be left to be answered for later. For now, Luis’ focus was directed on modifying the Potty Grass. It’s better to settle it as quickly as possible since he feels that his nature and life energy from Sigil is leaking as long as he keeps the window open. A broken cheat requires an equally broken cost. Talk about an equivalent exchange.
"What we needed was a Potty Grass that could absorb more harmful fumes in the air than it used to... So what if I make the leaf’s aqueous tissue more expandable and broader? Maybe that will do the trick?" Luis murmured.
In an instant, the details explaining its leaves generated a replica, where the things he modified were highlighted.
"The duration of the moisture retention of the dyed leaves increased. Which is reasonable given that I increased the capacity. It seems like size and time have a direct relationship on this plant," Luis murmured as he examined the results. Internally, he is breathing a sigh of relief
This plant is relatively simple.
That is already good news. But what is more commendable is the appraisal skill that comes with Property Manipulation!
"I can’t believe this appraisal skill could also test the effects of modifications! This saves me from making any errors, and most of all, it conserves their resources!"
Feeling the thrill of having a game-changing skill, Luis did not hesitate to press "apply modification." He did not mind that nature’s energy needed was 300 or if the life energy that comes with that was 100.
Why bother when his nature’s energy is infinite, and the Life Bringer’s Sigil gives him absolute autonomy in wielding the Life Energy?
And so, the Moon Elf Lord’s nature and life energy simultaneously swirled around the Potty Grass.
"T-this is quite a novel f-feeling," Luis breathily said. He wasn’t in pain or discomfort. In fact, it felt quite nice— oddly nice, to be more precise. It was entirely different from when he modified their crops back in the apocalypse. Back then, only a minor dizzying spell hit him, but now...
"The nature and life energy was being siphoned from my entire body. Triggering all of my sensitive parts... It was like... like I am getting a full body blow!" Luis’ eyes widened in that sudden realization.
"Oh, Moon Goddess!" The elderly patriarchs of the Metal Clan exclaimed. They cannot stop their mouths widening as they witness how the Potty Grass leaves from their very eyes!
The distinguishing fleshy leaves became thicker and wider at a speed that is visible to the eye. At the same time, the red pigment of the leaf receded and collected on one side, exposing the verdant green color of the rest of the leaf.
"Did the Moon Elf Lord make the grass grow bigger?"
The Metal Clans once saw Luis grow the trees from tiny seeds, so this is naturally the first thing that comes to their mind.
The initially quiet Xerxes answered the elderly moon elf. His voice had a subtle hint of disbelief. "No, he is turning the grass into an entirely new species..."
He may be the spirit of a dead dragon, but his senses, especially his sight will never fail him. The Moon Elf Lord is changing the aspects of the plant without triggering its growth!
Xerxes wanted to point at the Sigil as the catalyst for this ridiculous feat. However, he was watching all the time. That is why he knew the Moon Elf Lord incorporated his wood power and the Sigil.
"This is the real power of the present Moon Elf Lord, huh?" For the first time, Xerxes has an urge to shiver.
The wood power may seem like a weak power, but when paired with Life Bringer’s Sigil, it is potent enough to toss the natural laws around!
Xerxes looked at Xagrien, who was worriedly looking at his powerful mate. By the way things are heading, the time when Xagrien and that man meet will undoubtedly come.
"The Moon Elf Lord’s power is starting to subside!" Legland suddenly said in a loud voice.
Everyone aside, Xerxes readied themselves in case the Moon Elf Lord passed out. They cannot leave room for accidents to exist.
But when they were about to charge forward, and the lights gradually dimmed, revealing the final form of the Potty Grass, they heard their Moon Elf Lord let out a guttural sound.
"Arghh! Arghh! Arghh!" Luis loudly cried.
The people around who heard this alertly ran to Luis’ side, fearing he was in pain. But no one could beat Xagrien if it is about speed. Therefore, he was the one who first came to Luis’ aid.
"Are you alright, Lu-" Xagrien’s worry-stricken question dangled in the air upon seeing the present expression of his bearer.
Flushed-faced and languid eyes, his shallow breaths fluctuate at the pace of his heartbeat in allegro. Xagrien has seen this familiar expression many times, so the error in distinguishing what it was was nonexistent.
Xagrien hurriedly pulled Luis to his chest.
"Xagrien, it felt good, hahaha," Luis’ words were muffled because his face was buried in his muscular mate’s chiseled chest, but Xagrien easily understood it.
"The Moon Elf Lord is not harmed in any way. Rest assured, everyone," Xagrien said to the advancing group.
Hearing this, Luis was instantly reminded that they were not the only ones present in the room. Shame slowly seeped into his bones, and he took a moment to calm himself down and to feel if there was any moist area in his body.
Thankfully, there is none. Luis now realized that he couldn’t just set aside the numerical values of the energies needed to transform a plant! He needed to take note of that, or else he may act something severely inappropriate in public!
Fortunately, this plant coincidentally served as a trial for his new skill, Property Manipulation.
The Moon Elf Lord breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am okay, guys. I am done modifying the Potty Plant, which was deemed successful. I made it more capable of absorbing more harmful smoke. Meaning: the problem we have with the smithing fumes from steel making is solved," Luis declared after softly pushing his head away from Xagrien’s chest.
The Patriarchs of the Metal Clans cheered, and so did Legland and the old pervert Feren.
"However, you also need to change your ways of tending this plant now because I changed some of its traits. This Potty Grass now requires a lesser water supply than it used to, so you must be mindful not to overwater them."
"Starting now, I will grind to modify all of the Potty Grass in the Redhill territory," Luis said.
The happy Feren momentarily halted his celebratory smile and asked the Moon Elf Lord. "That, My Lord... Can’t the offsets or pups of these grasses inherit the changes you made in their mother plant?"
"It can," Luis answered. Inside his cloak, Xerxes let out a sigh that literally translates to, "I knew it."
"From now on, a new species of Potty Grass will be found in Redhill Territory, and maybe you might want to think of a new name for that."
Amazement: that is all the folks from the metal clan are showing right now. There is no room for disbelief as they are thoroughly had by the Moon elf Lord.
"We promised in the name of the entire metal clans that we will be forging all the steels needed by the Moon Elf Lord! May it be for security and infrastructure building, please expect that we will make it for you the soonest time!"
Luis broke away from Xagrien to face his honest constituents from the Redhill territory properly. The man’s magnetic hand stayed around his waist, and Luis did not mind it.
"Well, I really appreciate your hard work and dedication. I promise as the Moon Elf Lord that as long as you remain loyal to me and everyone’s well-being, I will never treat you badly," Luis said from the bottom of his heart. "I will see to it that you will develop at the same time as the Woodrill City."
The elderly patriarchs from the metal clan felt their backs free from weight. The Moon Elf Lord’s promise is the same as the vow of the soul, and they knew that in that statement, he was giving them permission to stay and live in the Redhill territory.
They all felt grateful that their present Moon Elf Lord was understanding and accepting.
"But my Lord, if the Potty Grass’ pups could inherit the new traits, we can just propagate it. That will save you the time and effort," Old Master Feren said. It was obviously a well-intentioned offer, and Luis only smiled demurely. That small smile hides the unspoken reason. What else can he say? It feels superb!
