My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 556: I see through your “underpants”!
Chapter 559 Voting certificate, I see through your "underpants"!
The process of meeting the ancient King of Treants was much simpler than imagined.
There are neither the heavy security checkpoints when meeting the emperor in the TV series, nor the brainless villains jumping out and slapping people in the face.
The whole process is the same as when the tree man described his character.
Longing for peace, not fighting with the world.
As Zhu Ling's voice fell softly, Zhu Xia nodded respectfully, first stepped forward to push open the door, and then waved his hand as a signal.
"Dear guests, please come in!"
Sun Di took the lead, and the group of five people stepped into the small building without stopping immediately.
Adhering to the pure natural decoration, the exterior of the building looks as gentle as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in China.
But inside, it becomes an exposition garden of various plants.
All kinds of vines with beautiful flowers in full bloom are entangled on the stress columns of the Weiwen house and climb up, until they reach the top of the building, they naturally hang down, sprinkled with bursts of floral fragrance.
"Welcome, distinguished guests from Heaven!"
As the previous voice sounded again, all the plants seemed to be given life, and began to move.
It only took three to five seconds to reveal the hidden scene.
Similar to an office study, behind a simple desk sits a tree man who looks handsome and extraordinary.
His branches are smoking fine buds, and the main part is inlaid with dazzling green mist gems.
Even if each of his branches hangs down to the ground in a mess, it cannot hide the unique beauty revealed by it.
The most eye-catching thing is the top of his head, there is a crown made of golden plants, which blooms with a little light as he breathes.
This is a very elegant and tasteful Treeman.
The moment he saw Zhu Ling, Su Mo unconsciously came to this conclusion.
Different from the towering trees seen in the holographic message, although the current Zhu Ling has become countless times smaller, this temperament is still well preserved.
Whenever any creature sees him, it will unconsciously feel close to him.
"Hello, Zhuling, the ancient treant lord, I am Sun Di from the Heavenly Court, the human lord Somo"
"Thank you for meeting during your busy schedule!"
Two steps forward, Sun Di stretched out his right hand and held the branch tightly.
It was exactly the same as what Su Mo had set in the plan. Even for ordinary humans, Zhu Ling did not despise them in any way, but instead gave them extremely high reception standards.
After just a few polite words, the two entered into a more intimate conversation.
Pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two for a while, and found that Sun Di was fully capable of handling Zhu Ling's various questions, Su Mo was completely relieved and began to divert his attention to call out the system.
Follow the rules that have been explored before.
For items with ownership rights, or creatures whose life level has not reached a certain level, the system will not give the corresponding attribute interface.
But this is not absolute.
With the idea of giving it a try, Sumo directly voted for the first appraisal, Zhu Ling, the tree man king who was sitting behind the desk and talking loudly.
Wow!
Green light automatically emanated from the body, spread wildly through the plant-covered floor to Zhu Ling's feet, and then wrapped around his body tightly before returning.
"Huh? Is there a show?"
Seeing that the performance of the silk thread was completely different from the usual time when it returned without success, Su Mo took a long and deep breath, and quickly suppressed the joy in his heart.
Sure enough, in the next second, as the silk thread returned, a detailed attribute panel was revealed.
[The ancient king of tree people - Zhuling (Lord)]
[Description]: This is a strange creature from the plant planet numbered B-31. Compared with ordinary plants, the blood of this strange creature is similar to that of normal creatures, so that they have The power of thinking, and the ability to leave the soil and move freely on the ground
【Age】: 39 years
[Tree height]: reduced form: 1.82 meters; normal form: 19 meters; peak form: 28 meters;
[Intelligence level]: 119 (analogous to human IQ)
[Companion Plant]: Gold Silk Green (a plant with a simple IQ, which can be freely woven into various forms: armor, weapons, etc.)
[Ability]:
The lord is wise (after becoming the tree-human lord, the IQ will naturally increase by 10 points)
Plant Affinity (Because of the unique biological characteristics, when in contact with other creatures, there is a high probability of gaining the other's favor)
Vitality (after taking root in the land, the tree body will absorb the fertility of the land and perform all-round loss recovery)
[Weakness]:
Fire (like ordinary plants, treants also have a natural fear of fire. Once they are caught by flames, their strength will drop by more than 50% in a straight line)
Cold (when the temperature is below minus 30 degrees, the treants must take root in the ground to maintain blood flow, otherwise they will fall into blood freezing and die of supercooling)
Physical attack (blood flows from the trunk of the treant, which brings them extraordinary magic power, but this is also the source of their weakness. Once their trunk is severely injured, it is very likely that they will die due to massive bleeding)
[Evaluation]: Wisdom is a double-edged sword. While bringing creativity, it will also deprive the body of its strength!
The panel of Zhuling, the king of tree people, is not luxurious. Compared with the gods detected before, it is more than a little inferior.
And, after focusing on a few key data, Su Mo felt relieved suddenly.
The treant with a height of more than 300 meters in the holographic projection is indeed a fake. It is a false appearance made by Zhu Ling by some means, in order to fool and deter his ally.
Now, although his peak height is still nearly 30 meters, his every move is as terrifying as a Humanoid Gundam.
But these three weaknesses severely restricted his performance, so that the tree man's combat effectiveness was weakened by nearly 70% out of thin air!
"It's no wonder that these treants are often more than ten meters high. They look amazing in combat, but they never take the initiative to attack. Instead, they form an alliance against others under the slogan of peace"
"If there is a real collision at this stage, even if they can win the war, I am afraid that a few will not survive afterwards!"
"It's not worth it at all!"
Having come to this conclusion, Sumo also had a little clue as to why the Treant invited humans into the territory to develop together.
Frankly speaking, the current defect of tree people is not irreparable.
For example, once these towering trees are put on heavy armor to protect the weak points of the body, it is basically difficult to break through the defense before the attack power reaches a certain level.
For example, if you are afraid of fire, if you can carry a high-power fire extinguisher with you, you can basically greatly reduce the damage caused by the flame.
Even if plants can be artificially induced to mutate and produce more auxiliary companion plants, the strength of tree people will also undergo rapid changes.
"Wait, if that's the case."
Close Zhu Ling's property panel, Su Mo regained his focus and began to listen to the conversation behind the desk.
After the initial unfamiliarity, one person, one tree has lost the previous politeness, and began to discuss specific directions.
However, although Zhu Ling's IQ is 119, which has reached the starting line of an anthropologist, it does not mean that his intelligence is really human.
Sun Di is just a few Tai Chi pushers who can't get into it, so he already has a little anxiety.
"Mr. Sun, you have also seen our sincerity in cooperating with Heavenly Court. For you humans, the ancient tree human race has great sincerity"
"After Zhu Chuan came back last time, we have already understood the help of the fairy fruit to the tree people. We believe that once a long-term cooperative trade is established, the tree people will become the eternal allies of heaven and mankind"
"Since Lord Suma trusts you to come here, don't refuse the trade agreement between us, what do you think!"
Earing to Sun Di's rejection of the specific content of the trade again, he turned the topic to the impact of the cooperation between the two parties on the surrounding situation.
Zhu Ling's heart was hot and hot, and he directly stated his urgent needs.
Now, Sun Di couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to continue the conversation: "I don't know what kind of item Lord Zhuling wants to exchange for the fairy fruit?"
"Iniba!"
"Each fairy fruit, we can provide two hundred people with a day's meal!"
"Or you can use other rare plant resources in the Treant tribe's territory. If you can sign the agreement on behalf of Lord Sumo, we will give you 10,000 servings of rice leaves and several kinds of plants that can improve your physical fitness. fruit!"
It seems that he knows the twists and turns of human beings when negotiating. Zhu Ling's words are straightforward, and his handwriting is amazing enough!
Not to mention one fairy fruit can be exchanged for rice leaves for 200 people.
In terms of the rice leaves that can allow a person to eat for 27 years, and the rebates of several rare fruits, they are enough to make people excited.
"Great work!"
"Lord Zhuling is really generous!"
Seeing Zhu Ling throwing out his chips and Sun Di caught in a dilemma, Su Mo immediately smiled freely and walked out of the team.
"Oh? This is?"
"I am the supervisory adjutant of the mission team. Lord Zhuling can call me Hou Liangping"
……
"Using low-level methods such as kickbacks to deceive us, Lord Zhuling is unnecessary. Although our heavenly court does not have much supplies now, it is not short of food. What's more, if we take this thing, let Su Lord Mo knows that even if the deal is signed, it may not be able to be carried out by then."
Zhu Ling paused after hearing the words: "It seems that I have not considered properly. The people under Lord Sumo are indeed different from other humans."
"However, this trade agreement is not impossible"
"Oh?"
Seeing Su Mo's performance of being confident and straight to the point, he continued to push his hands in Tai Chi before thinking of Sun Di, and he was moaning.
Zhu Ling immediately became interested, and directly tapped the ground twice with a branch, and summoned a wooden chair on the opposite side of the table again.
On the other side, Sun Di didn't feel any discomfort, instead he stood up lightly and returned to the crowd.
Da Ma Jindao sat down, leaned back, Su Mo said again:
"Lord Zhuling must have been aware of our human habits and traditions, so I won't come around here"
"There is no problem with the transaction, and even more with the caravan. As allies, we have to communicate with each other."
"But according to our Lord Sumo's intention, if we want to exchange fairy fruit, rice leaf is fine, but it can't be the lowest grade rice leaf, at least it must be dark green!"
Wow!
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhu Ling nodded in surprise, but when it came to the second half of the sentence, especially when the word dark green came out.
His expression froze suddenly, and then a huge aura rose from the ground.
As the root of the tree people's livelihood, although Iiba's level is not a major secret, it is not information that ordinary people can know.
At the first moment, he thought that Zhu Chuan had revealed the news and handed over the handle to his opponent.
But in the next second, seeing the smile on Su Mo's face, he could only press down his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "I don't know where Lord Su Mo learned that there is dark green, we are tree-humans."
"No, Lord Zhuling, this is your dishonesty. As an ally, there is nothing wrong with having secrets between us, but we shouldn't deceive our allies like this!"
"Leaves are divided into grades."
"Don't worry, this news didn't come from your clansmen, but our Lord Sumo has other methods"
directly blocked Zhu Ling's words, and completely stated that the classification and attributes of the leaves were different.
Looking at Zhu Ling for a while, Su Mo shook his head lightly, taking advantage of the victory to pursue:
"Also, even if you agree to exchange with dark green rice leaves now, it is impossible for us to agree."
"Are you kidding me?"
As if realizing that Su Mo had cheated him out of the real information, Zhu Ling stood up abruptly, floating in the air with branches and leaves all over his body like a net, feeling like he wanted to devour someone.
And the domineering aura on his body before, at this moment, unexpectedly broke out to a new height.
At the same time, there were pattering footsteps outside the hut, like raindrops hitting the ground, which made people shudder.
Facing this burst of momentum, Sun Di, who had just stepped back, was alright. Apart from his pale complexion, he was able to maintain his mentality.
But the few remaining villagers were shaking like sieves, obviously they had been greatly impacted.
"No, no, Lord Zhuling, you misunderstood this. Although we are allies, we didn't exchange family assets as soon as we came up, right?"
"What's more, the good things in the hands of our lord are not just fairy fruits. We have a lot of what you need and what the tree people need!"
Looking at Zhu Ling's tree face the whole time, Su Mo was completely unaware of the impact of this momentum.
As he spoke, Zhu Ling suddenly withdrew his momentum and sat back again, as if nothing had happened.
"Not bad, not bad, the Heavenly Court is really capable of countless people, much stronger than normal humans!"
It doesn't feel good to be seen through the cards.
After realizing that Su Mo knew that he was absolutely impossible to do anything, as well as the real bottom line, Zhu Ling no longer put on airs, but calmly said:
"Tell me, let me hear Lord Sumo's opinion!"
"First, the purpose of our cooperation is to make the two territories communicate with each other, resist the surrounding enemies together, and become stronger, so before the official transaction, we need to cast a certificate"
Zhu Ling: "Vote for a certificate?"
Su Mo nodded: "Yes, just talking and not practicing fake tricks, a simple trade can be broken at once. Once the enemy really comes, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions in our cooperation, so we need to work together to deal with it." The enemy attacks once. The enemy can be the Empire of Light, the Demon Soul Clan, or the Dwarves"
"In short, we need to let the outside world know that the Treant Race and the Heavenly Court have reached a cooperation, and against any of them, the other party will not sit idly by!"
After getting serious, Zhu Ling also began to think about Su Mo's well-founded remarks.
After a while, he nodded: "Yes, there is no problem with this request. As the original intention of our cooperation, we need a certificate of approval to ensure cooperation!"
"Just in the middle of the attack, we can also see the true strength of the opponent!"
Sumo: "Very good, since Lord Zhuling agrees, we can start real trade cooperation after the nomination vote is over."
"We need rice leaves, and we also need other plants"
"At the same time, in addition to fairy fruits, there are other things that tree people need in our territory"
Zhu Ling: "Oh? For example?"
"For example, the companion plant on Your Excellency Treant, Golden Silk Green, we can induce it to become stronger and have more abilities!"
Boom!
It is different from the feigned anger that Zhu Ling pretended to be before.
This time, when he heard the word Jinsilu, he was taken aback for a moment, and then directly revealed a naked killing intent.
Obviously, the explosiveness of this news has exceeded his psychological bottom line, so much so that he has the idea of killing people to silence him.
But ~IndoMTL.com~ the next second after thinking of something else.
He sat back on the chair helplessly, and the murderous aura dissipated completely.
"Can I know how Lord Sumo got the news?"
"Oh? Don't Lord Zhuling think that Lord Sumo should know?"
With a hint of "perplexity" feigned, Zhu Ling looked at Zhu Ling's astonishment after being asked back, and the subsequent depression.
Su Mo immediately felt happy and laughed lightly.
"How about it, is Lord Zhuling interested in hearing about further cooperation?"
"Can I still say 'no'?"
Looking deeply at Su Mo's disguised face, Zhu Ling stretched out the branches on his body, and with a wave of his hand, directly removed the table.
"Since Lord Sumo already knows so much, there is no point in hiding it"
"Let's go, before starting the real cooperation, I have to let you see the true background of our ancient tree-human race!"
