Joy (You are the embodiment of ultimate bliss, controlling never-ending happiness): "Manic Pollen" (Unlearned) → "Sage Pollen" (Details of this ability will be known after learning the previous one) → "Unlocked" → "Unlocked"...
Mimicry (To hunt and reproduce, as a plant, you have evolved unique mimicry functions): "Walking Among Mortals" (Unlearned) → "Jade Beauty and Flower Grace" (Details of this ability will be known after learning the previous one) → "Unlocked" → "Unlocked"...
Rose (Tell your genetically mutated siblings who the only Rose Queen is): "Assimilation Infection" (Unlearned) → "Dong Shi's Imitation" (Details of this ability will be known after learning the previous one) → "Unlocked" → "Unlocked"...
Serie began to examine these abilities one by one—
"Manic Pollen": Slightly increases Spirit, releasing a bright yellow pollen. Creatures inhaling the pollen will find everything in their eyes comically ridiculous, then begin to laugh uncontrollably, finding it difficult to concentrate, and even temporarily losing the ability to move and resist.
The intensity and duration of the effect depend on the difference in your Spirit attribute compared to the target's.
If the target's Spirit is too low or they inhale an excessive amount of pollen, there is a risk of coma or even death.
Hmm...
Serie fell into thought.
This is a very powerful control ability. Compared to Billie's single-target hard control "Pinch Mama," its advantage lies in its wide coverage.
It can control a large area at once.
However, its drawbacks are equally obvious: it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe and can cause chaos, making it less discreet and convenient than "Pinch Mama."
"Walking Among Mortals": Greatly increases Agility. You will no longer be a fragile plant rooted in a flowerpot. Her root system will gain incredible mimicry and mobility, capable of supporting and propelling your flower stem to move.
Despite the simple description, this ability is absolutely a foundational ability for Ye Ningfu.
If Ye Ningfu remained rooted in a flowerpot, her other abilities, no matter how strong, would be useless.
Surely, she wouldn't have to be carried around by a Witch during every battle, right?
Being able to move freely is definitely a qualitative leap, both for a plant and for Ye Ningfu.
"Assimilation Infection": Slightly increases Charm, releasing a pink pollen. For most creatures, it is harmless and fragrant, but for plants of the Rosaceae family, the domineering pheromones in the pollen will forcibly invade their genes.
It will irreversibly tamper with and assimilate them, transforming them into absolutely loyal Rose Puppets, living only for Joy.
Serie's eyes suddenly lit up. This ability was like a'Scourge of the Undead' for Roses.
After Kuchiha's Rabbit Spirit Commando, would Serie now welcome a flower army?
The only pity was that it currently only affected plants of the Rosaceae family.
If it could infect animals or even humans... how would that be different from a Resident Evil scenario?
But it's still good. Saint Martan lacks everything but various bizarre roses.
Serie was still very optimistic about the potential of this Joy Witch.
Serie didn't hesitate at all, decisively pouring her accumulated ability points into Ye Ningfu's three first-tier abilities!
It was a pity that the current Ye Ningfu was not yet in bloom; she was still a seedling.
Therefore, the ability point from [Main Quest: Rose Bloom] could not yet be withdrawn.
She also wondered if Ye Ningfu's extreme youth would affect the strength of her abilities.
Attributes: Strength F | Endurance F | Charm C → C+ | Agility F → D+ | Spirit F → E+.
Ye Ningfu's initial attributes were incredibly low, so the attribute boosts from learning abilities were still quite significant.
At least... the child can finally run around on her own, right?
Serie suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment, like a new mother...
Her consciousness sank into Ye Ningfu's body.
With a thought, Serie activated "Walking Among Mortals"!
Rip!
Ye Ningfu's two large leaves propped up the soil in the flowerpot, and she suddenly shot up. Two short root-legs, mimicked from her root system, steadily pulled out of the soil, supporting her thirty-plus centimeter tall flower stem as she stood on the edge of the flowerpot!
"Hee... hee hee... I'm Ye Ningfu~" Ye Ningfu let out her characteristic, charmingly silly yet somewhat crazy, demonic voice, feeling new and excited about her newly grown "legs."
Alright... Ye Ningfu could still only make that broken sound...
Serie rubbed her forehead in her consciousness, but watching Ye Ningfu, like a toddler learning to walk, supporting herself with those two short legs, wobbling and hopping to the full-length mirror, Serie's gloom was instantly diluted by the adorable sight.
In the mirror, Ye Ningfu had that small face with the rudimentary features, paired with two trembling short legs that were trying hard to support her.
"Pfft..." Serie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Never mind, never mind," Serie consoled herself.
"She's just a little Witch in her seedling stage. She can run, jump, and release pollen. What more do you want? Her future is promising!"
Staring at Ye Ningfu in the mirror, who seemed quite satisfied with herself, Serie's heart was filled with a motherly sense of relief.
However, as soon as Ye Ningfu turned around, she felt several scorching gazes focused on her.
In the corner, four Rabbit Spirit of various forms were sitting in a row, staring at her unblinkingly.
At first glance, the scene was quite amusing, but combined with Ye Ningfu's identity, she only felt a chill down her spine.
Where was Kuchiha?!
Oh, Kuchiha was sleeping...
It's worth mentioning that beside Little Carrot, Little Horn, and Little Cloth Pouch, stood a brand new Tuling.
It was Kuchiha's newest companion, recently summoned and permanently kept—the Field-Hoeing Tuling, Potato Lump.
It was a short, fat, and round Tuling, looking exactly like a large potato with long ears.
It was less than a meter tall, slightly hunched, with muddy, fluffy short yellowish-brown fur. A crumpled old straw hat was perched on its head, and its soft, long ears were pressed down to its sides.
Potato Lump clutched a small rake in its hand and wore indigo blue coarse cloth overalls, its pockets bulging, stuffed with who-knew-what.
Its gaze, most of the time, was in a state of bewildered blankness.
Its mouth was habitually slightly open, exuding an inexplicable simplicity and honesty.
As for the red Tuling Ye Ningfu saw when she was drunk last time—the Gunpowder Tuling—Kuchiha didn't like it much.
That Tuling was fiery red all over, its fur as hard as needles, and hot to the touch.
It would constantly spew fire and smoke, causing small explosions, just like a miniature Zoya.
Its personality was also not as docile as the other Rabbit Spirit.
Kuchiha only let it exist for thirty minutes before waving her hand and making it dissipate.
In contrast, the randomly summoned Potato Lump was much more practical; it seemed to be a master farmer.
Whether it was feeding the increasingly hungry Rabbit Spirit or cultivating a small vegetable garden for the Witches to be self-sufficient in the future at the factory or the Black Queen's territory, Potato Lump was an indispensable laborer.
It didn't need to be a large area, just enough for the few Witches and Rabbit Spirit to have a snack.
But being stared at so intently by such a row of little creatures, Ye Ningfu still couldn't help but feel a creepy chill.
She moved with light steps, climbed onto the trash can, and jumped into the Rabbit Hole.
In a flash, she arrived at the Abnormal Contamination Zone on the outskirts of the New Reclamation Area.
Ye Ningfu wanted to try "Assimilation Infection" on her cheap sisters.
