[Name: Tree Spirit Warrior]
[Race: Plant Type]
[Level: Tier Four (0/100)]
[Power: 90]
[Constitution: 75]
[Agility: 75]
[Spirit: 75]
[Skills: Devouring, Barbaric Charge (Infuse power throughout the body to swiftly strike enemies away.), Horizontal Sweep (Swing a massive arm, sweeping around the body and delivering a fatal blow.)]
[Introduction: The advanced form of Tree Spirit Berserker, with swift attacks, charging into battle, and is a fierce warrior of the Tree Spirit race.]
As expected, most of the mutations turned out to be advanced forms of ordinary species, inheriting the Cannibal Flower King's devouring skill.
Lin You didn't think much of it and continued recruiting species.
Soon, he had three Tree Spirit Warriors and three Highly Poisonous Demonesses by his side, expanding his Tier Four species to fifteen.
The species limit for a Tier Four Plant Type territory is forty, and with the current speed at which he's obtaining Magic Energy, he should be able to fully recruit before the Beast Tide arrives.
When the time comes, the outcome will be left to fate.
After all, he had prepared everything he could.
After finishing recruiting species, he started checking the upgraded territory information.
[Territory Name: Tree of Life]
[Territory Level: Tier Four]
[Territory Durability: 1000/1000]
[Recruitment Category: Plant Type]
[Recruitment Number: 15/40]
[Territory Introduction: The fundamental survival of the Lord, possessing various functions; if the territory core is destroyed, the Lord perishes.]
[Upgrade Requirements: Wood (1000/1000), Stone (36/1000), Magic Energy 14/750, Tier Four Territory Essence 0/1]
[Note: Plant Type territory trait, self-sufficient in wood supply.]
The materials required for upgrading from Tier Four to Tier Five have more than doubled.
Except for wood, which doesn't require collection due to the advantage of the Plant Type territory, gathering other resources demands tremendous effort.
It clearly won't be possible to upgrade in a short time.
What surprised Lin You the most was the Bathing Fire Lotus planted next to the Tree of Life.
Due to the territory's upgrade, it unexpectedly upgraded to Tier Four as well, producing twenty points of Magic Energy every hour.
Calculating it this way, he can get over four hundred points a day, which is quite a considerable income.
"Brothers, I currently have a Tier Three Plant Type species token and want to exchange it for a Tier Three Insect Type or Undead Type token. Does anyone have one?"
Suddenly, a message popped up on the regional channel, attracting Lin You's attention.
Lin You, who was checking the building information, immediately looked at the message, which was sent by someone named Luo Lei.
It seems he wants to exchange a Plant Type species token for other tokens.
As soon as the message was sent, the regional channel erupted in exclamations.
"Tier Three species token? Isn't that something you can get only by eliminating a Tier Three Demon Nest?"
"Someone eliminated a Demon Nest so quickly?"
"Isn't it said that Tier Three Demon Nests might have Tier Four Leader Demons appear?"
"Damn! This guy can even handle Tier Four demons?"
"Jealous, I wish I had a species token too, the species I got randomly are just trash."
"Plant Type is so weak early on, probably no one will have a species token to exchange with him, right?"
"Haha indeed, this token is probably going to rot in his hands."
As they talked, these people began to gloat.
Plant Type's early weakness was notorious, not many have reached Tier Three, let alone eliminate a Tier Three Demon Nest to get a species token for exchange.
That Luo Lei is unlucky, of all the tokens to get, he got a Plant Type one, he's probably cursing right now.
"Any response?"
In a valley shrouded in black mist, a young man slowly approached Luo Lei.
"No, it's probably unlikely."
Luo Lei shook his head, looking disappointedly at the regional channel.
They spent countless subordinates to finally eliminate the Tree Demon Nest and obtained this species token.
But it turned out to be the least favored Plant Type token, their hearts couldn't be more upset.
The young man sighed and said, "If it doesn't work out, just exchange for Magic Energy. It's better than letting it rot in our hands, and most of our species have died, we need to upgrade the territory, this Magic Energy isn't enough at all."
"Sigh... alright, I'll ask around again."
Honestly, Luo Lei was not very willing to exchange the token for Magic Energy.
After all, Magic Energy can be earned, but tokens cannot. Missing this chance to unlock new species, who knows when the next opportunity will come, so he was very conflicted inside.
But considering the miserable situation they were in now, he had to grit his teeth and prepare to change the exchange condition to Magic Energy.
"I have a Tier Three Undead Type token, how do we exchange?"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar message appeared in the regional channel.
"...!?"
Luo Lei froze, then showed an expression of wild joy.
Unexpectedly, someone actually had the species token they wanted and was willing to exchange it for the Plant Type token!
The crowd that was mocking immediately exploded.
"What's going on? Someone really wants to swap for a Plant Type species token?"
"Could it be a scam?"
"I also think it's a scam, Luo Lei, don't believe it."
"What a joke, I've been watching for so long and haven't seen anyone with a Plant Type reaching Tier Three."
"Lin You? Never heard of that name. Is there anyone like that in Plant Type?"
"Probably just pretending."
Compared to Luo Lei, Lin You was evidently less known; he had spoken only twice on the channel, not many would remember his name.
The regional channel was great in every way, except that it showed real names, which Lin You disliked, so he rarely sent messages.
He tried private messaging the other party, but after waiting a while, there was no response, likely drowned by other private messages.
Sure enough, shortly after his public message, he received a private message from Luo Lei.
"Brother, do you really have an Undead Type species token?"
"Sorry, I don't mean to doubt you, given Plant Type's situation... you should know too, so I wanted to confirm."
Clearly, the other party was very cautious and didn't immediately believe Lin You.
Lin You understood, directly replied, "I have no reason to deceive you. How about this, you choose the trade location, is that sincere enough?"
Regarding his own strength, Lin You was very confident.
Not to mention whether the other party had reached Tier Four, even if they did, he was absolutely sure he could suppress them.
Moreover, the Demon Nest had only been open for a day, he didn't believe anyone could upgrade to Tier Four and still have enough Magic Energy to recruit a large number of Tier Four species, probably only two or three at most.
Luo Lei seemed moved by his sincerity, finally replied, "Okay, I trust what you said, as for the trade location, let's choose my territory, I wonder if it's okay?"
Lin You was slightly surprised, then replied, "That's fine, send me the location."
Eventually, both of their trades were confirmed, Lin You received Luo Lei's territory location, agreeing to meet early the next morning.
As for why the other party chose their own territory as the trade location, Lin You could easily guess.
It's undoubtedly for safety reasons.
After all, Tier Four demons aren't to be trifled with.
Even if the other party formed a group, they might not gain any advantage.
Likely, Luo Lei had very few species left, thus having to reveal his territory location to ensure short-term safety.
With this premise in mind, Lin You was even less concerned.
