Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

[ Quality: Rare]

[ Description: The Whispering Petals is a mystical flower with petals that emit a soft hum when exposed to air currents. The hum is known to have a confusing effect on those nearby.]

"Thirty percent progress toward Tier 3," Ram murmured thoughtfully.

"It\'s a slow climb, but I can manage. A few more days, and I\'ll get there." Satisfied with his exploration, he decided to head back to the team.

As he walked through the dense foliage, his mind wandered to the possibilities of using the seeds he had collected.

The Silver Veil Orchid, with its light-element properties, might come in handy once turned into a wood spirit for setting up defensive or illusion barriers.

The Azure Vines could be useful for water storage, or water purification, while the Luminous Petal had the potential for calming teammates during stressful missions, or the skills it might awaken can be used for Ming Yue if needed.

As for the Whispering Petals, their ability to confuse enemies intrigued him. "I could plant a few of these around the subway station," he pondered.

"Maybe I should turn it into another wood spirit when I have enough spiritual power and life energy."

Ram soon returned to the small clearing where the team had set up their temporary camp.

Mai was still working on the old woman\'s prosthetic limbs and her robots, meticulously examining every detail.

However, she was the first person to notice Ram\'s approach, which might be due to her high Spirit attribute granting her sharp perception, she also noticed the new wood spirit on his shoulder.

"Hoh, did you summon another new wood spirit?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

Ram nodded. "Yes, this is Ming Yue, born from a Silver Moonflower. She has abilities that help with mental recovery and spiritual power regeneration. She\'s going to be a great asset for us."

He offered little explanation about how he summoned Ming Yue, yet he shared details of Ming Yue\'s skills and talents.

Mai raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. "That\'s quite useful, especially considering what we might encounter ahead. It seems you\'re really making the most of that Spiritual Planter\'s ability."

Ram smiled, then glanced at the prosthetics Mai was still working on. "How\'s the analysis going?"

Mai continued her work, her eyes still gleaming with fascination as she examined the old woman\'s prosthetics and robots.

"The tech here is incredible, more advanced than I expected," she explained, holding up one of the old woman\'s prosthetic limbs.

"Some of this stuff is already Tier 4 equipment. I didn\'t think I\'d come across something this sophisticated out here."

Ram raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Tier 4? That\'s impressive. What are you thinking of doing with it?"

Mai leaned back, wiping her hands on a cloth. "Well, I\'ve been working on a way to reactivate the old woman\'s three remaining robots. I\'m almost done with the modifications. Turns out, her mechanical eye is the key."

She held up the old woman\'s mechanical eye, which she had carefully removed earlier. "This thing was controlling all of her machines. With a bit of tweaking, I\'ve managed to link the eye\'s control system to my own interface."

"Once I finish these modifications, we\'ll be able to use the humanoid robot, the ape, and the serpent for ourselves."

Ram looked impressed, a slight grin forming on his face. "That\'s some quick work, Caption. Having those on our side will definitely give us an edge."

Mai nodded, her tone serious. "We\'ll need it. From what I\'ve gathered, the three robots are designed for different combat roles—close combat, heavy firepower, and precision strikes."

"With these three on our team, we\'ll have some serious backup. I\'m also thinking about integrating some of their systems into my existing bots to boost their performance."

She turned back to the dismantled robots, running her hand over the humanoid one. "Give me a little more time, and I\'ll have them up and running."

"But remember, these are modified machines—we don\'t know exactly how reliable they\'ll be until we test them in combat."

Ram nodded, clearly impressed by Mai\'s work. "Well, knowing you, they\'ll probably be just fine."

As Mai resumed her modifications, the rest of the team gathered around the campfire, letting the warmth and soft crackling of the flames ease the tension from the day\'s events.

Sid, Liam, and Su Mu all took a much-needed breather, leaning back against their makeshift seats.

Ram sat nearby, with Ming Yue hovering just above his shoulder, emitting a soft, soothing glow.

Ram cleared his throat, drawing the team\'s attention. "I wanted to share something with you all," he began, nodding toward Ming Yue.

"This little one here is Ming Yue, a new wood spirit I summoned. She\'s got a pretty unique talent called Spirit Nourisher, which passively regenerates Spiritual Power in non-combat states."

Liam raised an eyebrow, clearly interested. "That\'s handy. How does it work?"

Ram smiled and continued, "According to Ming Yue, her ability has a radius of about two meters, meaning four to five of us can sit within the area and regain Spiritual Power steadily."

"It\'s similar to meditating, but the effect is continuous and works without needing to focus."

Su Mu, who had been quietly resting with her eyes closed, opened them and glanced over. "That\'s useful. Given how much I expended earlier, it could really help speed up my recovery."

Sid looked intrigued as well, nodding. "So, we just sit close to her, and our Spiritual Power gets restored?"

Ram gestured toward Ming Yue, who nodded in understanding. She flew a little higher, casting her soft glow wider as light petals began to form around her.

They hovered delicately in the air before spiraling down to form a large flower formation around the campfire.

"You can all step in," Ram said. "Let\'s see how effective it is." Sid, Liam, and Su Mu shifted closer to the center of the campfire, positioning themselves within the two-meter radius that Ming Yue\'s glow reached.

As they settled into place and started meditating, Ram could feel the subtle but undeniable change in the air.

The petals around them seemed to hum with soft, calming energy, and the team instinctively felt more relaxed, their breathing deepening as the effect took hold.

A few moments passed, and Liam was the first to speak. "I can feel it," he said, his voice low. "It\'s slow, but it\'s working. I\'m already recovering some Spiritual Power."
