Chapter 449: A Good Day Starts with Mutation
"Was there a house here yesterday?"
"Nightfall City Construction—this must be the work of a Master Craftsman and Architect working together, right?"
"A master like that building a house without giving us a heads-up, so we could all come and watch?"
"Wait, take a closer look!"
"You're kidding, right? A pure wooden house? Can it really withstand the erosion of the sea?"
"2887, aren't you stone statues supposed to be on night watch? Who built this house?"
"Sorry, Mr. Lucius, we stone statues also need to sleep at night."
"..."
It was still early in the morning.
A group of people gathered outside Wah Wah Wah's house.
Voices of argument and confusion rose and fell, and it wasn't long before the girl sleeping in her bed was awakened from her slumber.
"Haa..."
Wah Wah Wah yawned.
She walked to the window in her pajamas, sticking her head out to take a look.
Below, she saw familiar neighbors, all with expressions of shock, as if something extraordinary was happening.
"What's going on here..."
Wah Wah Wah followed the direction of their discussion:
"Oh, what's the big deal? It's just a house... A house!!!"
"Damn, where did this house come from?"
The girl hesitated, rubbing her fists into her eyes, then sticking her upper body out of the window.
A fact was plainly evident before her eyes.
The empty plot of land from the night before now had a not-so-small forest-style cottage standing on it.
Even in the Orange Zone, there were various architectural styles.
But this cottage, seemingly from the forest, still made people feel a bit curious.
"Huh?"
Wah Wah Wah retreated back into the house.
"Am I still dreaming?"
She poked her head out of the window again, widening her eyes to confirm what she was seeing.
"..."
"What's going on here?"
"Lindsey, come and take a look! The ground you bought yesterday suddenly has a house on it!"
"..."
There was no response from inside the house.
Wah Wah Wah ran downstairs.
Lindsey, who had stayed on the first floor of the house the night before, was nowhere to be seen.
The girl finally realized something, her expression filled with astonishment:
"This thing, is it the method you mentioned?"
"..."
While the commotion continued outside.
Lindsey was inside the house, cleaning up.
During his time away.
He had summoned the Wildling with the Jungle Commander Scepter to take care of the plants inside, so everything was in good condition.
"Radiant Lung Grass, Crying Beauty, Witch's Smile, Summer Bamboo..."
"They're all in good shape."
The shop had upgraded from level 2 to level 3, providing more operational space and allowing for some customization, like adding an upgrade direction.
"It's rare to come to Thousand Sails City."
"The designers here must be skilled, right?"
Lindsey finished checking the counters and came to the backyard with satisfaction.
Here, he had set up a planting area, where some precious species were growing.
Among them were the Radiant Iron Stone Tree and the Sunbeam Sunflower, as well as magical plants like the Rainstorm King Lotus, which he was trying to cultivate.
After all, his skill list included the possibility of plant mutation.
He couldn't waste the effects of his skills.
"The Radiant Iron Stone Tree... Growing normally, in a healthy state. Just the time is too short, and the new round of fruits hasn't appeared yet."
"The Sunbeam Sunflower... This is what? The Radiant Sunflower?"
Lindsey suddenly froze.
The Sunbeam Sunflower could produce Solar Flame Essence.
This resource had strong positive energy.
It could be placed on the alchemy table to create potions with corresponding attributes.
Or it could be used directly to dispel negative influences like coldness and darkness.
In his garden, there was a 'Radiant Sunflower', which had been transplanted by the Little People.
The green stem of the flower was adorned with streaks of crimson, and the petals, which should have been yellow, were covered in solar patterns. As one approached, they could even feel the heat emanating from it!
"It's so hot that even I can feel it..."
Lindsey murmured as he walked closer.
After three months of cultivation, finally, one of the plants had mutated!
[Mutant Magical Plant: Radiant Sunflower]
[A sunflower that absorbs and concentrates the power of the sun. After accumulating a certain amount of sunlight, it condenses a Solar Glow Essence on its petals.]
[The value of the mutated magical plant is unknown.]
On one of the petals, there was a fruit, which Lindsey picked and put into his pocket.
[Consumable/Material: Solar Glow Essence]
[The ultimate product of Solar Glow. Can be used directly, causing an intense flame and explosion exceeding 5,500°C, incinerating everything nearby; can also be used as a material to create other items.]
"..."
"This mutation has given me something big."
Lindsey placed the Solar Glow Essence on the workbench, and corresponding formulas appeared one by one.
[15 Solar Glow Essences + 10 Meteorites + 3 Solar Flame Elixirs = Stellar Fragment]
[1 Solar Glow Essence + 3 Magic Pattern Cloth = Solar Glow Enchanted Cloth]
[3 Solar Glow Essences + High-level Fire/Solar Attribute Gemstone = Solar Glow Enhanced Stone]
...
A long string of synthesis formulas.
The most attractive one, of course, was the Stellar Fragment.
Compared to the humans of this universe, Lindsey, who retained his memories from his previous life, understood all too well what this term implied.
"Stellar Fragment..."
Lindsey vaguely remembered that when he obtained the [Ancestral Core], there was a synthesis requirement for Stellar Fragments to forge the [Eternal Sun Crown Sword].
In the past, it seemed absolutely impossible to create such a thing.
Now, in front of Lindsey, the possibility of its creation was revealed.
"As for the Solar Flame Elixir, it can be made from Solar Flame Essence, crystals, and herbs."
"Am I just a matter of time away from being able to create such a thing?"
Lindsey felt a bit dazed for a moment.
He scratched his head and continued to inspect the garden.
Unfortunately, the probability of mutation was purely coincidental.
Apart from this [Radiant Sunflower], the other plants were growing normally, and there were no more such exceptions.
After some tending, Lindsey harvested the seeds and fruits in proportion and had the Little People continue to care for them.
And so, with the garden taken care of, Lindsey's legs began to move on their own, uncontrollably, towards the fishing platform.
Facing the fresh air blowing in from the sea, Lindsey murmured, "Is there a difference between fishing in the City of a Thousand Sails and fishing in the ocean?"
The temptation was hard to resist.
He even forgot about his original plan to open the shop in the morning, took out the Floral Fishing Rod, and cast it into the water in front of him.
Before long, Lindsey's fishing rod dipped down.
The first cast, and he had already caught something.
"Pull it up!"
Lindsey pulled the rod with all his might.
As if it were a routine, a shadow of wreckage appeared on his face.
Then, in front of Lindsey, a pile of wood chips fell onto the reinforced fishing platform, making a clattering sound as they hit the steel.
Lindsey's face turned ashen:
"Trash - a broken picture frame?"
"I know this isn't the ocean anymore. But can you remind me of that in some other way?"
"Like, for example, by reeling in a wooden crate or something."
Lindsey muttered his regrets as he continued to cast his rod.
But before he could continue his fishing endeavor, the excited voice of a girl suddenly rang out above him:
"Lindsey, where did this house come from...?"
"Wait, you're fishing again?!"
