Chapter 110 – Flower Fairy

In the western graveyard area, the black mist suddenly thickened again, shrouding the sky and earth, dancing joyfully like a king.

This made the entire Skull Graveyard appear more like an abyssal underworld.

In contrast, the eastern Treant Forest seemed like a fairyland. Here, the trees were lush and green. During daytime under sunlight, the leaves displayed an emerald-like verdancy, with crystal-clear veins reflecting shimmering radiance.

Under the influence of the Treant Forest, ordinary vegetation gradually became increasingly vibrant and palatable, often tempting some greedy Slimes to hop over and sneak a few bites, only to be angrily chased away by the Treants inside the forest waving their long tendrils.

If the surrounding environment was merely picturesque with green waters and mountains, then the white light clusters flying freely among the trees – resembling fireflies but much brighter – adorned the forest, adding an ethereal and mystical quality.

Mu Yuan waved his hand, and these fluorescent clusters drifted before him, swirling and dancing around.

These were the common one-star troop type ‘Little Spirits’. Inside the fist-sized light clusters were tiny creatures… about the size of a fingernail.

This was the main troop type he had been purchasing recently – a creature with extremely weak combat ability but capable of symbiosis with vegetation, slightly promoting plant growth.

Naturally, even though Little Spirits were weaker than Little Skeletons and Goblins in combat, their price was relatively high, and they weren’t commonly seen on the market, suspected to be monopolized by some Great Lords.

Acting as a super logistics personnel, Mu Yuan multitasked while browsing various trading districts, managing to purchase only over a dozen Little Spirit Remnant Souls after a whole day.

If relying solely on Little Spirits for self-production and consumption, it would take ages to evolve high-tier troops.

Therefore, Lord Mu purchased another inexpensive one-star troop type called ‘Green Vine Snakes’. Despite their name suggesting snakes, they were actually vines.

‘Green Vine Snakes’ weren’t the cheapest ‘Nature-type troops’ – within this major series, there existed troops comparable to Little Skeletons and Goblins.

However, after consideration, Mu Yuan still chose Green Vine Snakes.

For no other reason than that Green Vine Snakes were sufficiently passive, and could survive through photosynthesis alone without requiring additional nutrients. Mu Yuan defined them as ’emotionless Evolution Point producing snakes’, used to support the Little Spirit and Treant troop lines.

Currently, there were 50 Green Vine Snakes, capable of producing 20 Evolution Points daily – still not enough. But after purchasing several more batches to increase the numbers, the Evolution Point production efficiency would naturally greatly improve.

Even now, by extending the time scale, substantial Evolution Points could still be accumulated.

It merely required money and patience.

From deep within the forest, several more light spots flew over. These were much more conspicuous than Little Spirits, with basketball-sized light clusters. Through the faint halos, the tiny lives inside could be clearly seen – little girls resembling humans but with two pairs of thin cicada-like wings, dressed in green dresses.

The common three-star troop type ‘Flower Fairies’.

They often lingered among flowers, preferring to reside within plump flower buds. Flowers inhabited by Flower Fairies would typically become increasingly vibrant, and over time might even transform, forming Materials suitable for medicinal use.

This was the hidden characteristic of Flower Fairies.

When both numbers and time were sufficient, their subtle influence could produce significant effects. They were natural gardeners.Thus, even though Flower Sprites are only a common three-star unit type, they are extremely rare on the market.

It was precisely after consulting these materials that Mu Yuan chose to purchase Little Sprites and evolve them.

「Flower Sprite」

「Rank: LV2」

「Skill: Aroma (Diffuses a unique fragrance, subtly influencing surrounding plants, making them more vibrant, tender, and with a small chance of causing plants to transform and advance into special medicinal herbs. When multiple Flower Sprites use the skill simultaneously, the effects can accumulate to a certain degree.)」

This is an auxiliary, farming-type skill.

It materializes and enhances the inherent traits of the Flower Sprite.

And this is only the second stage of the ‘Flower Sprite’. The next stage…

「Prompt: Natural-type Evolution Points -5.」

「Prompt: The Flower Sprite bathes in the Miracle Light, evolving into ‘Flower Fairy (Rare★)’, and learns the skill ‘Growth’.」

Excellent!

This is the non-combat skill he desired.

Flower Fairies are essentially still units, and naturally… or rather, most individuals possess combat abilities. They have a significant chance of awakening skills like ‘Entangle’, ‘Sleep Powder’, or ‘Allure’.

Mu Yuan does not need Flower Fairies for combat. A simple yet effective skill that promotes crop growth is perfect.

Soon, the Miracle Light faded, and a petite fairy, about the size of a palm, enveloped in a faint white glow and emanating an intangible floral fragrance, fluttered down onto Mu Yuan’s palm.

She was tiny but had fully formed features, resembling a figurine-like young maiden.

Her main appeal was her delicate cuteness… and her frailty.

Mu Yuan seriously doubted whether Flower Fairies that awakened combat skills had any real fighting power.

However, the Flower Fairy was not the endpoint of this evolution.

This Flower Fairy, who had just undergone a transformative baptism and was beginning to show signs of intelligence but had yet to snap out of her daze, once again received a baptism from the Lord.

Before she could even experience the frailty of childhood, her life underwent another leap.

Whoosh—

A dazzling evolution light burst forth.

Mu Yuan took a few steps back, watching as the figurine-sized fairy before him grew continuously under the evolution radiance—her hair reaching her waist, her waist slender, and her legs long. He nodded slightly.

After all, bigger meant stronger.

A larger body meant the ability to store more energy and unleash more skills.

「Natural-type Evolution Points -25.」

「Prompt: Your unit ‘Flower Fairy’ bathes in the Miracle Light, evolving into ‘Flower Fairy (Rare★★★)’, and awakens the talent ‘Flower Fairy’.」

——

「Flower Fairy: Flower Fairies dwell in areas abundant with flowers and lush vegetation, allowing their basic abilities to gradually and permanently improve. They can also subtly enhance the environment of their habitat. When a sufficient number of Flower Fairies gather and reside in an area for an extended period, they can significantly increase the concentration of plant-based elements in that region, even… transforming an entire area into a Treasure Land.」

This makes the plant-based elements denser and increases crop yields. When the evolution light dissipated, the Flower Fairy now appeared as large as a backpack.

She seemed to be sitting on a suspended swing, her jade-like bare feet swaying gently, her large, sparkling eyes brimming with liveliness.

This was the farming General.”From now on, you will be responsible for managing the other companions and enhancing the growth of the crops in the territory… starting with the Snakeblood Fruit tree in the Golden Fertile Soil, understand?”

The Flower Fairy blinked her eyes, her gaze reflecting pure confusion.

Only after a long moment did she suddenly jolt and nod repeatedly like a pecking chicken, but whether she truly understood… Mu Yuan believed she did not.

It wasn’t that she was too foolish.

It was just that he had nearly forgotten, among his many troops that had already awakened self-awareness or possessed Advanced spiritual wisdom, this Flower Fairy had only evolved for a mere 15 seconds.
