177: primary election

Among these four pet beasts, each possesses unique evolutionary forms: Flower Bud Dancer evolved from Sprout Beast, Long Man Cao (Dragon Vine Grass) evolved from Green Vine Snake, You Ming Gu (Nether Mushroom) evolved from a luminous mushroom, and Desert Rose evolved from a desert thorn.

Originally, the Sprout Beast's evolutionary form did not possess psychic abilities, and naturally, it couldn't perform Skills like Hua Ban Wu (Petal Dance).

However, the ingenious Li Wen devised a brilliant solution to this problem.

He meticulously cultivated a psychic-attribute Parasitic Vine callus and carefully grafted it onto the Flower Bud Dancer's wound, repeating the same procedure as he had with Ya Bao.

Undoubtedly, this procedure inflicted far less damage on the Flower Bud Dancer compared to Ya Bao.

After all, the so-called “death” energy possessed unique traits.

After a period of patient waiting and careful nurturing, a delightful result finally appeared: the Flower Bud Dancer not only fully recovered but also successfully compensated for some of its inherent shortcomings.

It's worth noting that the Flower Bud Dancer is deeply loved by beginners precisely because of its comprehensive abilities.

It can provide effective healing, offer strong auxiliary support to teammates, and also possesses a certain degree of offensive capability, making it a versatile pet beast.

However, even with such excellence, it still has two clear weaknesses: first, its relatively weak defense; and second, its somewhatsingle (singular) damage type, which leaves it quite passive, especially against fire attribute enemies.

Now, with the emergence of Hua Ban Wu (Petal Dance), the situation has changed dramatically.

This new Skill not only brings additional attribute damage, making the Flower Bud Dancer's attack methods more diverse, but can even be considered a brand new defensive measure to some extent.

As a result, the Flower Bud Dancer's performance in combat will undoubtedly reach a new level, becoming an irreplaceable and capable partner in the hearts of many novice players.

However, Long Man Cao (Dragon Vine Grass) utilizes callus much more extensively than other plants.

Its peculiarity has even developed to the point of affecting racial traits, causing certain changes in its form and traits.

Speaking of the miraculous Green Vine Snake, it possesses two distinct evolutionary paths. One is the common normal evolutionary route, which, after growth, transforms into Snake Man Cao.

The other is rarer and more advanced, requiring specific evolutionary materials to inhibit the genetic expression in the grass vine direction, thereby promoting its evolution into a Vine Snake, similar to Lu Chen.

However, the cost of materials required for such an advanced evolutionary path is naturally incomparable to ordinary evolution.

So, what is the most significant difference between Snake Man Cao and Vine Snake?

The answer lies in their flexibility and defense.

Just then, a peculiar thought suddenly flashed through Li Wen's mind.

Since Long Man Cao (Dragon Vine Grass) has such excellent callus utilization ability, could he try providing Dragon Faction callus to the Green Vine Snake to strengthen its physique?

After being given Dragon Faction callus, the Green Vine Snake's flexibility improved to some extent.

However, unexpectedly, although there was no significant change in defense, it surprisingly gained a powerful Skill—Dragon's Breath.

Not only that, but the power of its existing Skill, Vine Tornado, also increased significantly.

It seems that Long Man Cao (Dragon Vine Grass) would also be a good main attacker for newcomers.

Next, let's talk about You Ming Gu (Nether Mushroom)! The changes it underwent can be described as earth-shattering!

Its dark attribute astonishingly became dominant, which caused its original Skills to undergo tremendous changes.

Once merely a simple tank, it has now successfully made a magnificent transformation, becoming an assassin-type pet beast that controls the entire field.

It's no exaggeration to say that its functionality is in no way inferior to the highly praised Flower Bud Dancer!

Whether it's Dark Spore, Spore Burst, or Nether Entanglement, some of these Skills can precisely implement control, while others can unleash terrifying damage.

And finally, the Desert Rose is even more impressive!

It completely subverted its original attribute settings; perhaps for it, the fire attribute is more suitable than the earth attribute.

At the same time, its matching Skill configuration is also extremely comprehensive and complete.

It has high single-target damage output methods, as well as the ability to inflict area-of-effect damage on multiple enemies.

Not only that, but it also has excellent self-recovery Skills and solid, reliable defensive moves.

Especially relying on the continuous recovery effect brought by its unique Desert Domain trait, the Desert Rose is fully qualified to be used as a warrior-type pet beast capable of charging into battle and facing enemies head-on.

“This is my presentation of results.”

On stage, Li Wen, after explaining the principle of callus, began to explain these results.

Now that all the presentations were complete, the teachers below were already somewhat bewildered.

It was hard for them to imagine that a research project would have so many results. When they first heard about secondary metabolite cultivation resources, they felt that this topic had a chance to be selected.

But now, they knew they no longer had a chance to be selected.

Dean of the Pet Breeding Department, Liu Bai, from Tiannan University, couldn't help but ask Lin Yan.

“Xiao Lin, when exactly did you come up with this topic? You've kept it hidden for so long.”

Lin Yan looked innocent and said.

“If I told you that this is the first time I've heard of this topic today, would you believe me?”

Everyone: ???

Li Wen: Do you understand plant biotechnology, young man? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)╯
