Chapter 67

Opening his eyes, Lin Xiao saw that he was holding a rose instead of the remaining few vines. Weiwei let out a sigh of relief, filled with hope, and stared at the rose in her hand.

Following the procedure again, he separated the life soil and planted the rose. His mind merged with the life soil, and a new round of mutation began.

Unexpectedly, the first step of the mutation, the strengthening of the leaves, was quickly successful, which surprised Lin Xiao. Could it be that his previous prayers were effective?

The edges of the leaves, now reinforced, had a black streak, looking like iron and appearing exceptionally sharp.

Lin Xiao looked at the rose with anticipation. The second enhancement was the flower, which turned into a hallucinogenic weapon. As soon as someone touched it at night, the flower would bloom and release a scent that would make people and animals fall into a coma.

However, the enhancement stopped there. The rose's stem was too thin to achieve the goal of trapping people, so Lin Xiao decisively stopped.

The rose (scientific name: Rosa multiflora), also known as the wild rose, is a plant of the Rosaceae family, mainly distributed in temperate, subtropical, and tropical mountainous regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The rose is a small climbing flower with a flower disk surrounding the calyx tube, available in various colors such as white and yellow. The leaves are alternate, with odd-pinnate compound leaves. It is cold-resistant and can be propagated by layering or grafting. The rose can be used medicinally, and rose congee made from it has good nutritional value. Different colors of roses have different meanings, such as red roses representing passionate love and pink roses representing vows.

Seeing that he finally had a successful creation, Lin Xiao gained some understanding and ideas about the mutation ability of this spatial skill.

To enhance a vine plant that can automatically bind people at night, the stronger its nighttime activity, the higher the probability of successful enhancement. Of course, there are exceptions.

Looking at the three remaining vines and an unknown wild rose in the basket, he first glanced at the three vines with disdain. The failure rate of these things was too high, and they had wasted a lot of energy.

Looking at the last wild rose, Lin Xiao pondered for a while. The rose's ability was only suitable for planting in a home garden. For climbing walls, it was still inferior to other vines.

Moreover, if someone really wanted to break in, the rose could only delay them temporarily. Finding a mask or a wet cloth to block the scent would render the rose ineffective.

Staring at the wild rose for a long time, Lin Xiao thought, "Take a gamble; the energy is still sufficient."

This wild rose was similar to wisteria but more robust, with a well-developed stem that had an astonishing climbing ability. When Lin Xiao and Dazhuang found this wild rose, it was entwining a large tree. They had to put in a lot of effort to remove it, and many parts were already dead, so they had to break some parts to bring it back without damaging the main root.

Lin Xiao placed the wild rose in the separated life soil, and his mind merged with the life soil again, watching the changes in the wild rose.

The wild rose had very few leaves, all of which were flowers, with light purple petals densely covering the entire vine.

The first enhancement was its flowers. Unlike the rose, the wild rose's flowers were enhanced in a different way. The rose's flowers were hallucinogenic, while the wild rose's flowers were attractive, emitting a faint fragrance that would subconsciously draw people or animals to it.

After the flowers were fully enhanced, it was the turn of the stem. This enhancement went smoothly without any issues. The already thick stem, after being enhanced, finally gained the ability Lin Xiao had been hoping for.

It could automatically guard the villa at night, binding anyone or anything that touched it until the wild rose went to sleep at dawn, releasing the vines' grip.

This wild rose, similar to wisteria, finally satisfied Lin Xiao. This mutation could be considered a complete success. However, looking at the energy bar, only 26.5% remained, and he looked dejected.

Looking at the rose and wild rose in the life soil, Lin Xiao eagerly rushed forward, first taking out the rose and leaving the space to plant it outside the villa's fence, serving as the first line of defense.

Then, he took out the wild rose from the space and planted it at the base of the villa's wall, making it the second line of defense.

To ensure the wild rose would cover the entire wall as he wished, Lin Xiao inserted several wooden stakes to help it climb.

He patted his hands, straightened his chest, and walked back to the villa with pride, a bit smug.

In the following days, Lin Xiao's daily task was to check the growth of the wild rose and the rose, then water them with the spatial water.

A strange thing happened. Lin Xiao noticed that the areas watered with spatial water were overrun with weeds, which grew back the next day even after being pulled out, persistently.

Lin Xiao pondered, "It seems the spatial water is even more effective than I imagined. However, the specific effects need more experiments."

At that moment, Lin Xiao's interest was piqued. He even ignored the newly planted rose and wild rose and focused on studying the spatial water.

He went outside, where most of the garden trees had been transplanted. He randomly chose two trees close to each other and sprinkled spatial water on one of them.

After a few days of careful observation, the tree watered with spatial water skipped the adaptation period, exuding vitality and growing lushly. The other tree, without spatial water, remained the same, looking lifeless with drooping leaves, lacking any spirit.

It seemed the spatial water was much more effective than he had imagined. Just a little water made the tree look completely different.

Although ordinary plants couldn't be grown in the life soil, it wasn't a bad thing. The unexpected effectiveness of the spatial water on external plants was a silver lining.

"I need to plan ahead. The second phase of the project should be advanced. It's a shame to waste such a good resource," Lin Xiao thought.

After a few days of testing, Lin Xiao roughly determined the effects of the spatial water, and the results left him speechless.

He saw with his own eyes a nearly dead plant come back to life in three days after being watered with spatial water.

Previously, Lin Xiao thought the spatial water was just high-quality purified water with a good taste. Now, he realized he had a treasure trove right beside him that he had overlooked.

"I need to organize my thoughts. Everything from the space is a masterpiece."

Lin Xiao stared at the nearly ripe peaches in the space, swallowing his saliva. He wondered what they would taste like, as these were the first fruits to withstand the transformation in the space.
