Chapter 790: Mutated Plants And Animals on Socot Island

As Su Yang looked at the notification, he felt a little disappointed.

After all, Su Yang, who had experience in adding points, knew that the system notification was a simple but complete introduction.

Hence, since there was only an [Advanced Life Evolution] involved, it would mean that that was the only enhancement Sanque received.

Even though it was a useful enhancement, which was equivalent to upgrading Sanque’s life force, it was not what Su Yang wanted. What Su Yang wanted was for Sanque’s recovery ability to be enhanced.

Filled with disappointment, Su Yang walked quickly towards the beach.

When he arrived, an old man with a sage-like demeanor appeared before Su Yang. His hair was white, and his beard and hair were long, hanging down loosely. However, he did not look messy or unkempt.

Apart from that, he was wearing a white training suit, and he looked like a martial arts master.

‘Hmm, if he were to act as Zhang Sanfeng, he might not even need to put on makeup!’

At that thought, Su Yang walked up to Sanque and greeted him, who merely looked at Su Yang and nodded. Then, a +4 symbol appeared above his head.

Su Yang asked, “Do you feel anything after receiving a point?”

Sanque looked down at his body. After a while, he said slowly, “I feel like I’m a human.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘Like a human?

‘What kind of description was that?

‘Are you telling me that you look like Little Hus if not a human?

‘However, whatever it is, an [Advanced Life Evolution] is a good thing. At least from now on, Sanque can eat, drink, and enjoy everything that humans enjoy. Furthermore, his HP would no longer be that of a normal little monster, but a Great Monster.’

Just as Su Yang was consoling himself, Sanque said slowly, “My ability seems to have changed a little.”

Hearing this, Su Yang’s eyes instantly lit up.

Then, an idea surfaced in his mind. ‘Is it possible that there’s a silver lining?’

At that thought, he quickly opened Sanque’s ability list to check.

Su Yang then read through the two abilities of Sanque with a straight face.

‘Sanque’s [8 Arm Mode] hasn’t changed at all.

‘His [Immortal Mode] has indeed changed, but it’s very minimal.

‘The [Immortal Mode] itself originally allows Sanque to cultivate. There are even requirements for Sanque to do this, such as not eating, drinking and sleeping to receive +4 HP per minute, or staying up late to play computer games, which would give him +2 HP per minute, etc.

‘Other than that, there are also relatively strict restrictions, whereby he could only use this ability for a maximum of 12 hours per day.

‘And now… This restriction has been canceled.

‘Honestly, this would double Sanque’s recovery speed, but… Why do I feel like nothing’s changed at all?’

However, after analyzing the situation seriously, Su Yang was no longer conflicted.

‘Even though I haven’t caused Sanque to fully recover or enhanced his healing ability… At least his recovery speed has been enhanced, which is a good sign.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang felt that he should strike while the iron was hot and give Sanque another point to become +5!

‘Let’s see if I can add some superpowers after experiencing the “stacking effect” previously!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang turned on the system and started to purchase the required items for Sanque to become +5.

Because the system did not tell him that Sanque had reached his maximum points, Su Yang saved the amount of coins needed to buy the [Maximum Limit Pearl].

Hence, he bought all the Lucky Stones and Guardian Talismans and stuck them onto Sanque.

Then, he added another points for Sanque.

This time, Su Yang, who had experienced two +5 points in the past, did not leave Sanque’s cocoon. Instead, he just added the point for Sanque directly.

As expected, after adding some points, a green energy wave swept across the entire island.

The plants on the island seemed to have changed. Even the fish in the water around the island seemed to have changed as well.

In fact, even the spiritual energy in Su Yang’s body became more active.

Su Yang had a premonition. ‘Perhaps, as the number of +5 little monsters increased, or even +6 and +7, these little monsters are relying on the energy they emit during their life evolution to change the world…

‘But what effect would this have?

‘Under this “radiation”, what would happen to the plants and animals?’

Su Yang looked at the island that was almost similar to a “forest” during the pre medieval times and decided to summon Gru, Little Deeny, and Spirit Building for research. He wanted to see what had happened to the living beings that were nourished by the energy on the island.

…

At the same time, while Su Yang was adding a point for Sanque, Tan Mei brought a contract with her to Han Yi’s house.

After greeting each other, Han Yi welcomed Tan Mei into her room and brought her to the sofa.

Sitting on the sofa, Tan Mei looked strangely at Han Yi, who was pouring water for her, and said, “Xiao Yi, you…”

Tan Mei said “you” for a long time but did not say anything else.

Hence, Han Yi said a little embarrassedly, “Sister Mei, are you asking about my bet with Mr. Su?”

Tan Mei nodded.

Han Yi brought the water to Tan Mei and explained, “Actually… I don’t understand it either.

“I received a call from Mr. Su today and we talked for a long time.

“I always remember what you told me. You told me to interact with Mr. Su as a friend, so I didn’t beat around the bush and told him all about my worries, anxiety, and hesitation.”

At this point, Han Yi smiled awkwardly. “Then… This bet came up.”

Tan Mei was stunned for a full minute. “It’s that simple?”

Han Yi nodded seriously. “It’s really that simple.”

Tan Mei took a sip of water to hide her embarrassment. Then, she shook her head helplessly and said, “The two of you are really a handful. One dares to open up, while the other dares to accept it.”

With that, she handed the contract in her hand to Han Yi and said, “You can take a look at the clause Mr. Su has offered, all the required company stamps are already on it, so the moment you sign it, this contract will take effect.”

Before Tan Mei arrived, Han Yi did not believe it herself. In fact, she even suspected that Su Yang was only joking with her.

However, when the contract was placed before her, she suddenly calmed down.

Then, she hesitated for a moment, but did not take the contract. Instead, she looked at Tan Mei and asked, “Sister Mei, do you think… Mr. Su will win?”

Tan Mei shrugged. “I don’t know. I just feel that the two of you are quite mad.”

She paused, then said, “But, if you want my honest opinion…

“Logically speaking, I don’t believe it. It would be too much of a task for the TV series you filmed to achieve that kind of popularity.”

“But, emotionally, I actually have a little faith in him.

“This is because our boss has always been great at creating miracles.”

As she listened to Tan Mei’s words, Su Yang’s past experiences appeared in Han Yi’s mind. ‘He’s a 20 year old man who started from scratch with a current net worth of tens of billions of yuan. He has established a large corporation, including a film company, a management agency, a social media company, and a technology company, which literally covers all bases. He already has the makings of becoming a big shot.

‘His first online movie landed him with the number one spot for its box office, top 10 for his first cinema movie’s box office, the bloodbath at Hong Kong Stock Exchange, his artificial intelligence, and world-leading quantum computers, the ground breaking glass phone…

‘With this entire series of legendary phenomena, perhaps… He’s the one destined to create a legend.

‘Perhaps, he’s literally the person who’s destined to leave a legacy in history.’

At that thought, Han Yi finally stopped hesitating. She picked up the pen and signed her name on the two contracts with a smile.

This meant that the contract was in effect.

After signing, Han Yi said, “Sister Mei, I didn’t believe it before, but after hearing what you said, I believe it now.

“That’s why I want to take a gamble. I want to see if placing the rest of my life on Mr. Su will turn me into a real superstar.”

Tan Mei took back a contract and said with a smile, “I don’t know about being a superstar, but I do know that you’re going to become rich.”

As she stood up, she teased, “The moment you signed this contract, you’ve set yourself up on a bright path.”

She then expanded her hands to describe as she said, “If you win, you’d become a billionaire. If you lose, you’d become a superstar. Either way, you wouldn’t lose out.”

Then, she smiled and said, “Xiao Yi, remember not to forget me when you hit it big.”

Han Yi covered her mouth and laughed. “That won’t happen, Sister Mei.”

After the two of them were done chatting, Tan Mei left. As the person in charge of Su Yang’s company, she had a lot of matters to attend to. Although there were only three artists in the agency, the three of them were all thriving, so there were many matters that required her to coordinate and make arrangements.

After she left, Han Yi sat at home alone. Looking at the contract in her hands, she felt like she was in a dream.

Until the contract came into effect, she could not understand Su Yang’s thoughts.

‘How confident would he be to sign a contract where it would be a completely unfair wager for him?

‘Does he really think so highly of this TV series? Does he really trust his own judgment that much?

‘But, I don’t think he has watched this kind of series before, has he?

‘Or, does he just trust my acting skills?’

Han Yi’s mind was in a mess. She could not understand where Su Yang’s confidence was coming from.

‘Perhaps, all geniuses are special?

‘Just what kind of person are you, Mr. Su?’

…

While Han Yi was racking her brains, Su Yang was studying the mutated animals on the island with Spirit Building and Little Deeny.

“Master, look, there’s something strange with the leaves. They’re harder than steel.”

“Su Yang, the roots of these lawns are connected together. It seems like they have evolved into a new kind of aggregated life form.”

“Gru, Gru, Gru…”

Su Yang, who was fishing for seaweed by the sea, raised his head when he heard that. Then, he saw that the little monsters on the shore had all found something.

Hence, he stood up and put the sticky mess in his hand into a glass container. He then washed his hands and walked to the shore.

What Little Deeny was holding onto was an ordinary-looking green velvet plant. However, that green velvet plant was already much larger than how it would normally look. Its leaves were also standing up like sharp swords.

Su Yang recalled what Little Deeny said earlier and flicked the leaf gently. “Clang!” The sound of metal clashing rang and Su Yang felt a slight pain in his fingers.

‘It’s indeed as hard as steel.

‘However, I’d still have to go back to inspect its material.’

Then, Su Yang looked at Spirit Building’s discovery. There was no more land under the grass. The lawn was separated from the ground like a carpet.

The roots that had taken root in the ground had been pulled back, leaving behind small holes.

Furthermore, the roots that were retracted were intertwined with each other. At a glance, they looked like countless dead earthworms that were stuck together. Su Yang, who had trypophobia, almost vomited.

And as for… Gru.

Su Yang took a look. Gru was holding an ordinary black seed.

Gru shouted excitedly in front of Su Yang and gestured with its hands.

However, Su Yang… Could not understand at all.

However, he still touched Gru’s head and gave it encouragement. Then, he placed the seeds, weeds, and grass into a few new glassware.

Then, the three of them continued to collect the mutated animals and plants on the island, including vines that could move freely like snakes, which were so heavy that it bent the coconut tree into a bow-shaped coconut.

Apart from that, there were fish with wings and a long mouth that could temporarily fly into the sky. These fish were the size of someone’s head, with wings in seven different colors…

After the system became +4 and the little monsters became +5, the living beings on the island had indeed mutated into many species that they had never seen before.

However, while exploring, Su Yang also discovered something strange. The island was clearly an open space, and the outside was also connected to the ocean. However, these plants and animals were not far from the island. Instead, they were still concentrated within the island.

Hence, Su Yang and Little Deeny went to check out the exact range of activity of these living beings. Then, they discovered that there were many mutated fish and insects. When they flew or swam out of the range of the island, they would stop and swim back.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier that prevented them from leaving.

After many rounds of research, Su Yang felt that this “barrier” was probably the boundary of the virtual space. These living beings had already entered the virtual space, so they could not leave.

However, the strange thing was, these living beings did not return after they reached the border. Instead, when they were a long distance away from the border, they would return on their own.

This made Su Yang and the other little monsters feel that their assumption on the “barrier’s border” might not be correct.

Just like that, after four to five hours of research, there were already many species that had been collected under Su Yang’s feet. Then, a green light spread across the entire island once again.

This time, the green light was obviously weaker than when the points were added. For people like Su Yang and Spirit Building who had activated their spiritual energy, it was useless, but it still triggered a new round of mutation in the plants and animals on the island.

Looking at the grassland that was almost as tall as a person, Su Yang felt that it was time for him to find a professional to weed it out. ‘If this continues, I won’t be able to see cows or sheep anymore…’

After the green light passed, the green cocoon on the beach slowly melted.

As the cocoon melted, a strong smell of “life” emerged.
