Chapter 68: Chapter 60: Plant Concept
At first, everyone was wary of approaching Fu Qingjun, since the status of the Angel kind was extremely high in this world.
Additionally, he was the first Angel of the Feathered People, the ruler of the strongest of the four great Angel Races, and a follower of the second-generation Angel Empress Liana.
But now, as the conversation turned to him, a few people at the nearby table couldn’t help but speak up.
Someone asked, "This Angel Knight, you’re a Wandering Knight too? Did your Empress die as well?"
Someone quickly responded, "Bah! The Angel Race is so vast, Empress Liana still rules, suppresses the major dark frontiers, reigns over the world with unimaginable grandeur and magnanimity, how could she be dead?"
"Not necessarily, the Angel Race is vast, with many second-level Angel Emperors under its command, who, as Princes, suppress various frontlines. Princes do die..."
Fu Qingjun just smiled, casually replying, "The lord is indeed dead, and as a Wandering Knight, I roam this land."
Immediately someone said:
"But you, sir, are far better off than us."
"You’ve got a good background!"
"Yeah, right from birth, you’ve surpassed us."
"Sigh, even being a mediocre Angel Race militia is better..."
All at once, the surrounding knights began to open up.
That’s when Fu Qingjun realized this was a wandering tavern.
Not only could you watch the young future talents in the distance, watching them participate in training tests, but you also hoped to be noticed and recruited here at the tavern.
Listening to their words, he came to understand.
Not only did the front lines have cockroaches, where battles were fierce, but new indestructible beast disasters occasionally erupted in cleared residential lands, destroying towns, and many strong individuals rushed to suppress them before they expanded.
Fu Qingjun nodded after hearing, "Cockroaches are indeed disgusting, killing them might still leave eggs in the wood, the sofa, and various places, making a comeback."
"You will definitely be chosen here in the tavern." Someone flattered.
"Humph! You lot think too much. This Angel Wandering Knight is merely traveling the land as a journey. Even if he were to choose allegiance again, there are plenty of strong Emperors in his own race to take him in. Why would he choose a new lord among lowly ground species here?" someone argued.
Everyone agreed with this logic.
"Sigh, if I’m not chosen this time, I’ll just go back and marry the female ant I like." Someone else said dejectedly.
Female ants can become Ant Queens.
But most female ants lack strong cultivation potential.
They are not geniuses, their Martial Arts Realm is not high, nor have they mutated to develop any special powerful abilities. Even if huge resources are invested, resulting in nothing more than failed attempts, no army can emerge to wage war.
Despite this, as the Ant Kingdom is a matriarchal society, female ants still hold very high status.
"How hateful."
Many strong knights were dejected and frustrated.
Fu Qingjun found this world very interesting.
All around were numerous kingdoms, princes, thousands of large and small kingdoms clustered together.
Finding resources, breeding armies, nurturing heroes...
Truly a world of explosive breeding, a super ant apocalypse!
"It makes me want to be an Ant Queen, start breeding armies, nurturing and recruiting heroes, writing ballads of civilization, expanding territories, conquering the world." Fu Qingjun laughed.
However, he came to this world with a purpose to fulfill.
Because this world, in his eyes, ultimately had an incomplete ecological chain, missing the most crucial link:
Plants.
This is a world without its own plants...
Always letting ants eat meat is not viable, they have nothing to eat, it’s time to let them farm.
"I need to create plant life." Fu Qingjun took a deep breath and said, the reproduction of plants is far more prolific than animals. In this way, harvesting the souls of this land, the yield would surely increase exponentially.
Previously, he had tried to introduce sunflowers.
But they had little effect, or perhaps the sunflowers were too large, developed too slowly, and before they could grow, they were wiped out.
Fu Qingjun glanced at the test area without much interest, turning to ask a few people beside him, "Is there a high tower scholar with a lot of research on plants in this land?"
Everyone looked at each other.
There are indeed plants, many households have potted plants on their balconies.
This land is densely populated, and many war academies have special research institutes, researching the glimmer of tin foil, studying mobile machinery, dissecting giant beasts...
Anything that seems weird in the ruins, they research.
Plants are so large and vast, the largest lifeform they’ve seen, there must be research.
"We’re not quite sure." some knights covered in giant swords said.
"I know!"
Then, a female ant elegantly walked over, stepping on a pair of snow-white legs clad in black armor, with most of her white skin exposed through the gaps in the armor.
Fu Qingjun glanced at her, she seemed to be one of the Ant Queens in line to test her cultivation, how did she come here?
The surrounding knights were also puzzled.
"I know my progress can’t keep up, no need to test it, I know I’ll definitely be eliminated. There’s no share for me in this territory grant." said the weak Ant Queen, bowing in salute, "My name is Yudula, and I am Prince Mike’s 107th daughter."
Prince Mike, the surrounding knights looked puzzled, seemingly not knowing him, he should be a weaker princely power.
"The southeast’s Black Sunlight Kingdom, their tower is said to be researching plants, and it’s very sinister research." Yudula answered cautiously.
Southeast...
Fu Qingjun glanced toward the direction, which was the balcony.
There should be plants there, research would be normal.
"Gentlemen, farewell."
Fu Qingjun thought for a moment, then readied his wings to take off.
"This Angel Knight, would you let me guide you? I’ve been to that land before." Yudula hurriedly said.
Fu Qingjun gave her a glance.
Obviously, this one had ulterior motives, could she be lusting after his body?
However, Fu Qingjun had only seen black-armored beings in this world, this was his first time meeting a creature with human-like snow-white skin between the armored gaps...
Inherited human skin?
To be honest, this isn’t a good trait, armored skin is the best combat choice.... It’s a dominant trait all species on this land pass down.
"Your form?" Fu Qingjun asked curiously.
"I am a mutant shell-less human, my current armor is adorned from other kind’s armor... It’s not natural, my whole body’s just white flesh." She was ashamed, an anomaly.
Fu Qingjun’s eyes suddenly lit up, this isn’t a complete human form?
"Interesting indeed, pay my tab and come with me." Fu Qingjun stood up saying.
