Chapter 50: Naming her Little Flower, her power increases.
Seeing the docile and ingratiating appearance of the Carrion Flower, Su Jinjin's mentally mutated spider silk suddenly became useless.
She had already prepared for the worst.
If this vicious plant makes any unusual movement, immediately use this precious spider silk, which can turn the target into a puppet, to control it.
Although the [Mental Mutation Silk] is a one-time consumable, it's worth it to get a powerful helper in return.
However, looking at the Rotting Flower's fawning expression towards him now...
"This saves me a good prop." Su Jinjin chuckled and put the mental mutation spider silk back into her space.
However, the Carrion Flower seemed to be completely unsatisfied. After finishing all the remaining food, it pitifully pointed with its vines at its large mouth, which was still covered in slime.
Even though he had no eyes, Su Jinjin inexplicably felt that this guy was looking at her with a "pitiful" expression.
Su Jinjin: "..."
You don't look pitiful at all.
Su Jinjin helplessly spread her hands: "I've eaten all my stock, there's really none left."
She simply couldn't understand how this carrion flower, with its large head and small body, could hold so much food.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and slapped her forehead: "Oh right, you have the [Powerful Digestion] skill..."
It digests all the food it eats.
Upon hearing Su Jinjin's words, the Carrion Flower acted like a child who had done something wrong, with all its vines drooping listlessly and even its flower buds half-closed.
This humane reaction made Su Jinjin even more convinced.
This mutated plant's intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary organisms.
"Could it be that all plants are like this? That shouldn't be the case. If it is, this instance wouldn't be called the Plague of Insects! It should be called the Plague of Plants."
Su Jinjin looked at the timid, rotting carrion flower and felt as if she were looking at someone's shy young lady.
"But you've eaten so much of my food, how are you going to repay me?"
The carrion flower controlled its vines to pull Su Jinjin's hand, looking pitiful and determined to stick with her.
Su Jinjin and the carrion flower together give off a beauty and the beast vibe.
Carrion Flower: Beast? I am the Queen of the Night!
"Alright, alright, stop playing the victim."
Su Jinjin rubbed her temples.
Clearly, this carrion flower wanted to follow him.
Su Jinjin had originally planned to subdue this guy.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll give you a name, and then you'll be mine."
Su Jinjin pondered.
"What name should we give it?"
Su Jinjin had a flash of inspiration.
"I'll call you Xiaohua, it's simple and sounds nice."
Carrion Flower (Little Flower): Master, I think you shouldn't have this sudden inspiration.
Su Jinjin: "Hmm, not saying anything means she agrees."
The little flowers looked resentful, and Su Jinjin decided on their names.
What can I say, little flower? I'm just a flower, um... a queen flower.
"I'll take you hunting tomorrow. You can eat as much as you want, okay?" Su Jinjin decided.
It was just in time to help Xiaohua complete the task of collecting other insects.
The little flower immediately "came to life," its vines dancing merrily, even trying to rub against Su Jinjin's face.
Su Jinjin covered his mouth with her hand, looking disgusted: "Stop! There's still saliva on your lips!"
Upon closer inspection, Su Jinjin also saw the little flower, with its sharp, large teeth inside the flower bud.
Just then, Su Jinjin suddenly had a brilliant idea.
She took out the spider queen's fangs she had collected earlier and waved them in front of the carrion plant: "Want one?"
The buds of the carrion flower suddenly burst open, revealing sharp teeth inside, and all the vines trembled with excitement.
Of course it wanted it—it was precious material from a higher-level predator!
"I can give you one," Su Jinjin smiled slyly, "but you have to promise me you'll listen to me from now on."
Little Flower nodded.
Without hesitation, Su Jinjin threw one of the spider queen's teeth to Xiaohua.
Xiao Hua swallowed it in one gulp, and then...
This time, it didn't digest instantly like before.
Little Flower began to curl up.
Su Jinjin felt that the little flower looked like it was absorbing and evolving.
After looking at it for a while, there didn't seem to be any major problems.
Su Jinjin then looked at her other gains.
That is, the Power Apple.
Su Jinjin's gaze fell again on the pile of shimmering green power apples in the space.
She took one out and held it in her palm. The apple was quite large, about the size of a fist, with a smooth, cool skin and a faint bluish glow.
"Why not try one first? Let's see how much strength it increases. And this power apple has a chance to grant the user a special ability. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to have that."
She muttered to herself that she felt safe here since there was no danger, and without much hesitation, she took a bite.
Surprisingly, this apple tasted quite good.
The flesh is crisp and juicy, with a sweet aroma, making it even more delicious than ordinary apples.
Su Jinjin ate the whole apple in no time, leaving not even the core.
After finishing her meal, she waited quietly for a while, but did not notice any change.
"What's going on?" Su Jinjin frowned.
"Could it have lost its effectiveness due to being stored for too long?"
Just as she was about to take out another one to try, a warm current suddenly surged in her stomach.
It felt like taking a sip of warm, strong liquor; the heat started in the abdomen and gradually spread to the limbs and bones.
"I see..." Su Jinjin suddenly realized.
"The Power Apple doesn't work instantly; it requires a process of absorption and transformation."
She sat cross-legged on the bed, carefully experiencing the changes in her body.
Wherever this warm current reaches, muscle fibers seem to be rewoven, and bone density is quietly increasing.
The most amazing thing is that although the process is clearly perceptible, there is no discomfort at all. On the contrary, it feels like soaking in a hot spring.
"This feeling... is a bit like the body modification pills," Su Jinjin said thoughtfully.
However, compared to the simple and brutal upgrade of the Transformation Pill, the Power Apple's transformation is more comprehensive and gentle.
As time went by, the warmth gradually spread throughout the body.
Su Jinjin tried clenching her fist and could clearly feel the increase in strength.
With a gentle squeeze, she left a fingerprint on the metal armrest beside the bed!
The power has obviously increased unexpectedly.
"The effect..." she looked at her hands with surprise, "is even better than I expected!"
To test the limits, Su Jinjin took out an aluminum plate from her spatial storage, which was a piece of waste material she had collected earlier.
What used to require a lot of effort to bend, can now be done with a gentle bend.
However, without accurate strength testing equipment, Su Jinjin didn't know exactly how much the strength had increased.
"Not bad," Su Jinjin nodded in satisfaction.
She glanced at the time; there was still a while before she could fully absorb it, so she took out another Power Apple.
"Since one pill is so effective, what would happen if we took two or even more?"
