My different world is game mode

Clang——

Lindsay wanders through the cave.

Whenever he walked through a section of the cave that was not very stable, the loose top would automatically attach a beam to stabilize the crumbling top of the cave.

"I didn't expect that!"

"Am I still going to work as a construction worker in a place like this?"

Lindsay sounded a little emotional.

But this is indeed a job he cannot escape.

In the battle with the aberrants, he fought violently, and the flesh bombs detonated by the enemy also devastated the cave deep underground, and it was only the last straw away from complete collapse.

But Lindsay planted the [Withered Overlord Flower] on the opponent's corpse again.

In order to ensure that this space would not be directly crushed by the falling ceiling, Lindsay had to work as a construction worker.

Now as he walked, he turned his head and looked at the cave exit.

As an achievement reward item, the effect of [Withered Overlord Flower] is absolutely genuine.

After growth begins.

This plant completely ignored the earth required by normal plants. Instead, it rooted all its roots in the corpse of the aberration.

Immediately, roots grow along blood vessels, muscles, and bones.

The power deposited in the body of the awakened person is scavenged and absorbed by the roots branched out one by one, and supplied to the main body of [Withered Overlord Flower].

Plants that originally took hundreds of years to complete their growth.

It was also catalyzed extremely quickly. Emerald-green roots, branches and leaves emerged from the corpse, and then stretched out, with a crimson bud slowly protruding from the center.

"Normal growth takes 140 years."

"This speed...does it count as using high-quality fertilizer?"

Look at the [Withered Overlord Flower] which is growing happily.

After Lindsay completed the reinforcement of the cave, he was not idle. He walked to the body, took some [bone meal] from his bag and sprinkled it.

"Come on, I'll give you some more midnight snacks!"

【Bone Meal】has the effect of promoting plant growth.

After [Withered Overlord Flower] absorbs it, its growth momentum becomes even more gratifying. While the flower bones expand outward, the colors of the huge petals become more and more bright. Finally, the yellow flower room inside is revealed.

At this point, the bodies of the fifth-stage aberrations have been completely absorbed.

Lindsay looked at the hunting notes. As expected, the number of kills increased by one, and he could also collect prey materials at this moment.

"Finally dead."

Lindsay smiled slightly, bent down and touched the shriveled body.

[Consumables: Core of Origin (Life)]

[After use, the bodies of awakened persons within a radius of 50 meters will lose control; the duration is 15 minutes; this ability is invalid for awakened persons above the sixth stage. 】

[A rather rare source of condensed entity, with high value. 】

"The core of the source of matter?"

Lindsay's expression changed.

He remembered very clearly that when a fifth-stage awakened person dies, the item that will be dropped is [Essence Seed].

Only existences in the sixth stage will drop [Core of Source Seed].

But judging from the skill level in actual combat, the aberration he just defeated was undoubtedly a fifth-level creature.

Can produce this kind of loot...

"Resurrected from the ancient past, but failed to return to its peak strength?"

"It's just that the loot dropped after death still has a level consistent with its original strength?"

Lindsay's expression was subtle.

If placed in a game, this would be considered a treasure-hunting monster with a very high drop rate.

Based on the analysis of real-life encounters, the strength recovery of aberrations after resurrection is slower than that of resuscitators.

Click——

At this moment, a sound came from the body of the aberration.

Lindsay turned around and saw that the power within the aberrant's body had been completely absorbed by the [Withered Overlord Flower].

But the plant still hasn't finished growing.

So its roots began to pierce the flesh, groping and extending around, and then turned the low-level aberrations that Lindsay had killed into nutrients.

In the end, even the water in the cave was not let go.

This plant stretched out its roots and was not very eager to absorb water. Instead, it frantically extracted the corrosive poison from the water!

"With such an exaggerated hunger and thirst, if you plant it casually, it won't harm anyone, right?"

Lindsay held out her palms warily.

brush--

Fortunately, the roots of the [Withered Overlord Flower] flicked in his hand, and he immediately walked away and fell on the ground beside him.

Seeing that this guy was not interested in living people, he had no intention of attacking at all.

Lindsay was relieved.

…

[Withered Overlord Flower] continues to grow.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the cave looked completely new, and there was no longer any sign of the poison of corruption.

"The specialized restraint effect is much faster than the slow guidance of corrupted gold."

Lindsay walked up to the [Withered Overlord Flower] with emotion.

The plant has finished growing and its bright red petals are withering and falling.

In the yellow flower room, five avocado-like fruits grow.

Lindsay plucked them all.

[Fruit: Purification Fruit]

[After being eaten in its entirety, this magical fruit will permanently increase your physical constitution by three points. Because it has absorbed a large amount of corrosive poison during its growth, it will also permanently increase your resistance to the corrosive poison after being consumed. This fruit is only effective the first time you eat it. 】

[A magical fruit of moderate value. 】

With such a good thing, Lindsay herself would certainly not be polite.

He ate a fruit in two or three bites and peeled out a new seed from the flesh. Its attribute description was exactly the same as the previous [Withered Tyrant Flower]!

"Uh..."

"It tastes so bitter!"

Lindsay stuck out his tongue and then analyzed:

"Because there are sufficient nutrients in the production process, the number of fruits may be more. But even if the cultivation conditions are lowered later, more seeds can be harvested than the mother plant."

"Not bad, it's something that can flourish."

Lindsay put the remaining fruits into his bag.

In his mind, he has already identified this thing as the core item for purifying the poison of corruption in the future.

"So, next..."

Lindsay opened the map while thinking about the development of the territory.

He paid the source and extended the detection range as far as possible underground and around.

As a result, the expected picture appeared in front of him.

More red dots were hidden underground.

In all directions, no matter which direction it was extended from, the perception range was such a scene.

Just like what was described in the mission.

These mutants dug out huge structures underground, and thus established their kingdom.

"..."

"It's still early, so let's continue."

Lindsay snorted coldly.

He did not return to the surface, but continued to walk into the depths of darkness.

The fifth-stage mutant he just killed should be the manager of this area.

Since I'm here this time, I have to deal with these guys properly!

"No wonder there are always few corpses in the wasteland."

"I'm afraid that the living people in this prosperous world in the past were dragged underground by these guys during the war and used as the 'foundation' of their kingdom!"
