Chapter 804 - 678: Efficacy

In the constipated gaze of Maxwell and others, Li Cheng installed the Yang Tree and two meatballs in place, and confidently said, "According to the results of the whole-genome association analysis, using Armstrong...

Ah no, it’s the Yang Tree Cannon. After injecting the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor,

The CpG dinucleotide of the injected Hephaestus Tree-man will undergo significant hypomethylation, the master switch for determining sex will be uniformly activated, producing bisexual flowers,

And the bisexual traits have a certain probability of being passed on to two generations through the paternal line.

Among the offspring,

Flower males can be fertile, flower males cannot be fertile, flower bisexual traits cannot be fertile, flower bisexual traits can be fertile,

The ratio of the four is approximately 9:3:3:1.

Although it still cannot produce complete female Tree-men, it at least solves the Tree-man race’s problem of not being able to reproduce offspring—you just say if they can breed or not."

Classic 9:3:3:1, whose Pea Lord Mendel.

Maxwell slapped his forehead swiftly, while the others’ eyelids twitched wildly.

"..."

Freya, the Tree-man whose beard hung down to his chest, was silent for a long time, taking a deep breath after two full minutes, "Are you sure this works?"

Hephaestus Tree-men are a race with high-level wisdom and dedicated loyalty. After male and female Tree-men determine their love, they will remain together for life in the subsequent hundreds of years,

Once one dies, the other will not look for a new partner.

This style... Ah, damn, Yang Tree Cannon, needs to find good brothers to engage in fencing, inject DNA methyltransferase inhibitor fiercely, penetrating to the marrow, scattering seeds around the world...

It is too challenging to the morals and perspectives of simple Tree-men.

"Don’t look at the advertisement, look at the efficacy,"

Li Cheng spread his hands, "We are the adventure team of the Execution Committee. If there are problems later, you can service it, as they say, you can run a monk but not the temple.

If it doesn’t work, sir, you can call your companions over to check the effect on-site."

Forget it.

Freya resolutely changed the topic, saying solemnly, "No need, I believe you wouldn’t deceive me."

After saying this, Freya raised his enormous leg, revealing the rift space.

Wuhoo, you can pass without fighting, Mei Wenyi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big Tree Brother is generous."

Li Cheng gave a thumbs-up, enthusiastically saying, "After the Yang Tree Cannon is installed for a certain period, the root system at the bottom will rejuvenate,

By then, even if sir passes away,

You can dismantle the cannon and give it to other Tree-men.

As they say,

From the source spanning a thousand years lineage, passing down through generations,

Flourishing branches originate from the same root. Descendants excel together,

Horizontal couplet: this is inheriting father."

"Inheriting father is good, with an inheriting father, you no longer have to worry about extinction."

Freya nodded deeply, after contemplating for a moment, he reached his right hand into the treetop layer,

After some scratching, he removed a messy wooden lump composed of intertwined branches,

Its texture is compact, covered with thick moss, exuding a long-lasting ancient resin fragrance.

"This is our Tree-men’s Heavenly Dust Wood Resin. It takes four to five hundred years to accumulate. It is useless to us, but for you humans, it seems to strengthen the physique.

Consider it a token of gratitude."

Freya’s tone sounded somewhat embarrassed since the Tree-man race indeed lacks assets.

"Oh no, how can this be, you’re too gracious."

Li Cheng laughingly accepted the messy wood, glanced at the item description, then led the group through the rift to the next location.

As Freya stood there, gazing at the Yang Tree Cannon on his body, hesitated for a long time, finally resolved himself, stamping his foot.

In Earth’s Natural World, coniferous and fagaceous trees form a symbiotic relationship with fungal hyphae.

The hyphae help expand the area of tree roots, increasing nutrient absorption. Tree roots repay with carbohydrates. Their history can be traced back four hundred million years to the Ordovician Period.

Between two plants, they can even send chemical signals through the mycorrhizal network to transmit information. It’s like a plant version of the internet.

Hephaestus Tree-men also have this ability. At this moment, he controls the mycorrhizal network under his foot, sending complex chemical signals to his companion ten kilometers away,

"Hey, Bob, I think I’ve found a way to solve our racial extinction issue..."

"What?! Are you serious? Ancestor tree bless, this is the biggest good news in twenty years!"

"Don’t rush to celebrate, the cost might be somewhat high..."

"As long as it can continue the race, no price is too high!"

"Bob, if you say so, that’s great. Come over, I need to discuss something with you."

[Item Name: Heavenly Dust Wood Resin (2.7 tons)]

[Type: Material/Food/Medicine]

[Quality: Epic]

[Note: Though Hephaestus Tree-men are large, they are emotionally rich and are thoughtful. Every time a newcomer holds a wedding, all relatives and friends will travel thousands of miles to send their blessings, subtly wishing the newlyweds prosperous offspring "Ten years grow trees, this Zhou Shuren."]

[Note: Coming up with a method to install style, you’re the this...]

On the flat terrain, Forbidden Army War Cars were replaced by SUV vehicles. Li Cheng twirled the amber-like crystal-clear branch.

The epic-quality Heavenly Dust Wood Resin had more than twenty special effect descriptions, surpassing all the items Li Cheng has handled.

As a forging material, the spiritual power conductivity of Heavenly Dust Wood Resin is even higher than Mithril, suitable for making sword handles, knife handles, magic wands, or ornaments.

As food, a small pinch of Heavenly Dust Wood Resin can provide several days of caloric needs,

As medicine, Heavenly Dust Wood Resin can replenish primordial energy, restore spiritual power, energy, sanity value, and assist in breaking through heart demon during cultivation.

It can even be used as an explosive, triggering and tossing it away to cause a large-scale non-nuclear explosion.

Of course, two tons of special material being used as an explosive would be too wasted.

Spending some money to commission a guild like the Witch Alliance to refine it into magic potion would be worth more.

While Li Cheng was evaluating Heavenly Dust Wood Resin, nearby Gray Rain was rudely watching short videos on the go, using one hand to shove meat-filled pancakes, glutinous cakes, beef noodle, dumplings, and buns into his mouth.

"..."

Sitting in the rear, Maxwell and Gouchen silently exchanged glances.

Reviewing with the thought process of strategy script, solving the extinction crisis for Hephaestus Tree-men through the efforts of Pifu was like doing an extra side quest task, gaining extra effort.

If everyone had chosen to fight at the time, winning or losing aside, even if they won, they would likely face desperate retaliation from other Tree-men later.

Don Juan expressed admiration, ’How can you say that Pifu has risen like a meteor in such a short time? This ability to seize every opportunity to accumulate wealth indeed can’t be matched.’

Mei Wenyi looked puzzled, ’Accumulate wealth? Isn’t it said that Pifu and the president of Evil Science Alliance Side of Truth are conjugate father and son, and Star-casting Anvil is essentially a sub-brand of Evil Science Alliance?’

Maxwell shook his head, ’Just rumors. Prometheus investigated, there is no financial connection between the two. What I heard is that Pifu is actually an Artificial Man created by using the most cutting-edge technology by the Dragon Hidden Base of the Special Affairs Bureau...’

Sand!

The vehicle slowly stopped, Li Cheng jumped down from the driver’s seat, casually slapped the car door, calling everyone to disembark.

A medieval castle stood on the distant mountain peak, with six-meter-high stone-built walls where gun turrets with Peshawar hand-crafted style machine guns were installed in the grooves,

In the watchtower, a White-robed Wizard wielded a magic wand, summoning a shield that shrouded the castle, then shouted in flawless Mandarin, "Who goes there?"
