Ram smiled and replied, "Hahaha, don't worry about her. She's very strong and won't hold us back."
Sid grinned. "Yes, sister, it's just a C-rank mission. What could go wrong with you helping us?"
Mai rolled her eyes but didn't reply to Sid. She looked at Ram and Su Mu and said, "C-rank missions are not as easy as this idiot thinks."
"Don't blame me if you get injured or worse." Both Ram and Su Mu nodded, understanding Mai's concern despite her harsh words.
They headed back inside the subway, where there were many empty compartments.
With the help of cleaning robots, it didn't take long to arrange a new room for Su Mu.
After having dinner together and getting along with the others, Ram quickly returned to his compartment and took out the Titan Wood tree seed.
"Let's start with the Titan Wood seed," Ram muttered as he took the seed from the sealed box.
Unlike the seeds of Sword Grass with their sharp and metallic texture, the Titan Wood seed looked normal, just like an oak seed, with special patterns on it.
Based on the potential of the seed, different seeds are categorized into different levels, from Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and so on, and the seed in his hand was just a Bronze Tier seed.
A Silver Tier seed could easily grow into a Silver Tier Spiritual Plant, but it takes a long time for a Bronze Tier seed to grow into a Silver Tier Spiritual Plant unless it is fortunate enough to encounter a special adventure or receive help from a Spiritual Planters.
This was also why he bought it for only 15 points; if it were Silver or Gold Tier, the cost would be ten times or a hundred times more.
"Hey, I already had a good idea on how to transform this one, changing them into a plant life similar to Groot." From his experience of evolving Thorny and Sword Grass, Ram found that the final transformation of Spiritual Plants was slightly influenced by his subconscious thoughts.
He couldn't seem to change their innate qualities but was able to slightly influence the shape and awakened talent in the direction he wanted during evolution.
He had thought of many ways to transform the Titan Wood seed, but finally fixed on one of the many options—'Groot.'
He doesn't know if it's possible to really influence the Talent awakened, but when he saw the giant Mechanical Apostle, he felt so insignificant in front of such huge creatures.
When he thought of Titan Wood Trees that can reach thousands of meters tall, Ram got an idea, what if he can transform the Titan Wood Tree into hundreds of meters tall Groot and use it as Bio Mech?
"It's a character I liked very much before; I don't know if Bluestar has similar life forms like Groot, but it's the best option as all the Titan Wood trees have a default skill of shared communication."
He began to infuse the seed with his Life Energy, and as the seed absorbed the energy, the patterns on its surface seemed to pulse with newfound vitality.
As the seed absorbed more than 30 points of Life Energy, it started to slowly sprout.
This was also the drawback of seeds with low potential; however, most seeds of Spiritual Plants have the same potential as their mother plant, and only very few special plants like Titan Wood can form seeds with different potentials.
But this is not a problem for him, with Life Energy he can improve creatures beyond their original potential.
As he saw small vines sprouting, he began to infuse his Spiritual Power together with Life Energy.
Soon, the small vines and branches began to combine, weaving together to form a shape reminiscent of Groot, but slightly different from what Ram had envisioned, due to the Titan Wood Characteristics.
A new attribute panel appeared in front of him with details of the Groot he evolved.
He first looked at the figure in front of him, which looked similar to Teen Groot, about one meter tall, and possessing a small head.
Its bark-like skin gave it a distinctive texture, with an additional armor-like texture. Unlike the rugged exterior of ancient trees, this one had a smooth surface.
Two small, almond-shaped eyes peeked out, accompanied by a small, upturned nose and a downturned mouth.
The torso exhibited bark-like skin, and leafy branches and vines covered its body.
Small, muscular arms extended with clawed hands, demonstrating a delicate balance between strength and grace.
It had a broad chest and a slender waist, which gave it a proportional form, and at the center of its chest was a glowing life energy source.
Ram then checked its attributes with expectation. Although it looked slightly different from the Groot he knew of, he still named it Groot.
He knew how special Titan Wood trees were, and with their origin connected to the Divine Spirit Tree, he expected its skills and talent to be very strong.
[ Name: Titan Wood Sprout (Groot)]
[ Level: Black Iron (Tier-1)]
[ Quality: Rare]
[ Physique: 15]
[ Spirit: 1.1]
[ Description: Resembling a humanoid, the Titan Wood Sprout possesses low-level intelligence, exhibiting rudimentary awareness. It possesses an Enhanced Physique and tough bark and can control vines and branches to a limited extent. This creature can continue to grow slowly over time, absorbing vitality from its surroundings.]
[ Skills:
[Shared Consciousness]: The Titan Wood is not just an individual tree but rather a collective entity, forming a network with all the trees surrounding it in the forest, enabling shared thinking and communication among trees with the same origin.]
[ Talent:
[Bio Armor]: Upon activation, the Titan Wood Sprout merges with its host, forming armor made up of its bark. It is not only durable but also flexible, adapting to the host's movements and needs. This bond enables the host to superimpose their physical and spiritual attributes. Allowing the host to gain the ability to freely use all the skills of the Titan Wood Sprout when they are bonded.]
Ram couldn't suppress his smile as he looked at its skills and talent. Although he didn't know the full use of Shared Consciousness, he loved the talent—Bio Armor, although it's not the expected Bio Mech, he still liked it.
"It worked even better than I anticipated," he said to himself.
He had expected it to be a miniature version similar to Thorny and Sword Grass, but the Groot in front of him looked like a teenager about thirteen to fourteen years old, with physique attributes comparable to peak Tier-2 professionals.
If combined, their total attributes should be equivalent to Tier-3 professionals, with strong defense provided by the Titan Wood bark.
It should not be a problem to fight Tier-2 and Tier-3 ordinary or elite monsters.
