Naturally, Zhang Tie clicked on "Carbon-based Living Beings and Species Management". He felt that the words "Silicon-based and Sulfur-based Living Beings" were too far away from his life. Carbon-based Living Beings were easy to understand. Miss Daina had taught him about the classification and cognition of Carbon-based Living Beings before the Catastrophe. This kind of living beings contained carbon in their cells and were based on organic matter. It seemed that all the living beings in this world were Carbon-based Living Beings, including plants and microorganisms. Even magical beasts were no exception, not to mention humans and common animals. As for Silicon-based Living Beings and Sulfur-based Living Beings, Zhang Tie had never heard of them. They were completely mythical things, so he naturally didn't care about them.
After clicking on "Carbon-based Living Beings and Species Management", the three options that he had seen last time appeared again:
— — Microorganism Management
— — Plant Management
— — Animal Management
The tab for "Animal Management" was gray, indicating that it was not available. Since he had seen the microorganism last time, Zhang Tie clicked on the plant tab this time.
Clicking on the tab, a line of information appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
— — — On the evening of May 13, the 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, the system detected that the Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord had brought plant seeds with him when he entered the Castle of Black Iron. The plant system of the Castle of Black Iron was opened.
Two seconds later, this line of information disappeared, and a new window appeared. There was only a three-dimensional potato icon that was rotating 360 degrees. Zhang Tie clicked on it and opened the rotating potato icon. This time, the icon was exactly the same as the one that he had seen when he had opened the microorganism icon.
Next to the potato pattern was the same red cross that symbolized obliteration, and below it were the same three buttons that could slide to the right, representing the input of aura value, merit value, and basic energy reserve.
Seeing the number 3 above the icon of merit value, Zhang Tie's heart raced. He slightly pulled the button to the right, causing a precise number 2 to appear on the right side of the sliding button, while the number 3 below the merit value became 1.
Zhang Tie pressed the "OK" button.
Another line of information appeared:
— — Please choose the target to input your resources to!
Below were three options:
— — The entire population of this species within the space of Castle of Black Iron!
— — This species is in a fixed region or space in the Castle of Black Iron!
— — Multiple or single individuals of this species in the Castle of Black Iron!
Zhang Tie chose the third one. Then, a three-dimensional map similar to what he had seen just now appeared in front of him. Each potato pit that he had planted yesterday was marked with a red number on the map. Each number was flashing. Zhang Tie clicked on the "No.1 Pit" closest to the steel bar he had marked. The flashing number of the "No.1 Pit" turned green and stopped flashing. Zhang Tie then pressed "Confirm".
It was only two merit value points, which were just a trivial amount. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to concentrate on using them. Only in this way could he see the effect. It was hard to say whether one merit value point would be effective or not. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't want to choose more merit value points out of greed.
— — On May 14, 889th year of Black Iron Calendar, Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord invested two merit values in the mutation and evolution of a potato seed.
— — This mutation and evolution is estimated to take 56 days. Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, please wait patiently.
The two pieces of information only appeared for two seconds before disappearing.
Zhang Tie didn't know whether he would succeed or not. After all, he had only invested two merit value points. He didn't even put in any aura or basic energy. If he succeeded, it would be a pleasant surprise. If not, he would just treat it as a game. After all, he was still familiar with the Castle of Black Iron.
After closing "Living Beings and Species Management", Zhang Tie opened the last item of the system function tree — — "Generation of Special Seeds and Fruits of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree". This last item was related to that small tree. Based on his intuition, Zhang Tie knew that the item related to that small tree was the core of the Castle of Black Iron. Although the previous items were great, compared to the last one, they were just "supporting leaves".
"Generation of Special Seeds and Fruits of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree" opened the management menu.
— — Is the universe a friendly place? This is the biggest problem and the ultimate pursuit of all living beings. From now on, you can answer loudly, "Yes!"
Two seconds later, the information disappeared. Before Zhang Tie could comprehend the contents of the information, an image had appeared in front of him. Zhang Tie's attention was instantly attracted by it as he stared at the dense introductions in the image in a daze.
One minute later, Zhang Tie's mouth corners started to drool unconsciously...
Two minutes later, Zhang Tie's pupils started to dilate while his eyes started to shine...
Three minutes later, Zhang Tie started to sweat all over...
Four minutes later, Zhang Tie's breath started to become rapid...
Five minutes later, Zhang Tie's face started to turn red while his hands started to tremble...
Six minutes later, Zhang Tie felt like his brain was lacking oxygen...
Seven minutes later, Zhang Tie felt his chest pounding due to his violent heartbeat...
Eight minutes later, Zhang Tie's eyes turned white as he covered his chest with his hands. With his mouth wide open, he directly fell onto the ground and passed out.
A beggar who had spent the first fifteen years of his life begging on the streets, eating and sleeping in the open, and being looked down upon by others, was suddenly captured by a large group of soldiers one day. The captors brought the beggar to a place as gorgeous as heaven that even the beggar couldn't even dream of, and had a few child-faced beauties with big breasts bathe him, scrubbed him clean of mud, changed him into a new set of clothes, and was then dressed in a new set of delicacies. After having a hearty meal of dragon liver and phoenix gall, the beggar was brought to a majestic palace and was then pushed to the only golden throne in the palace. Then, a large group of people began to kowtow to the beggar and address him as' Your Majesty '. The beggar who had just tasted a little of the pleasures of the human world must have been scared out of his wits, and he asked for the reason why. It turned out that the old emperor had died a few years ago, and a bunch of people from the first to the eight hundredth in line of succession had all died fighting for the throne. Not a single one of them was left, and even the ones in their stomachs had been spilled. The royal bloodline had been completely severed, and the great empire had lost its legitimate heir. Seeing that it was about to collapse, the ministers panicked and tried to think of a solution. In the end, they discovered that when the old emperor was young, he had gone out of the palace to visit incognito. Out of desperation, he had no choice but to buy two boxes of matches and leave behind a copper coin. However, the little match girl became pregnant and died after giving birth to a child ten months later. The child had no one to teach him when he was born, so he naturally didn't learn his mother's skill of selling matches, and he didn't even know that his father was that bastard emperor. However, due to a freak combination of factors, the current throne was about to fall on the beggar's head. He had no choice but to do it. How would the beggar react after hearing the story?
Looking at Zhang Tie, who was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching from time to time, Zhang Tie felt like a beggar at this moment.
'Is it true?' Zhang Tie asked himself before he passed out...
'Maybe... maybe... maybe... it's a bit... true!' Zhang Tie muttered to himself unconfidently.
Then, darkness and happiness struck him at the same time...
...
Fainting was actually a kind of self-protection mechanism. When a person's mental or physical endurance reached the limit of a certain situation, this self-protection mechanism would be activated. The effect of this mechanism was to give you the ability to face everything. People who were sad would become strong and brave, people who were weak would recover their physical strength and spirit, and people who were happy would become calm and at ease.
As long as you woke up and faced it bravely again, you would find that everything was just like that!
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie woke up. Lying on the ground in the Castle of Black Iron, he opened his eyes. Watching the ever-changing colorful clouds in the sky, he gradually recovered his composure. Lying there quietly, he watched the ever-changing colors in the sky like a palette, gradually recovering his composure and mind.
He was not a beggar, nor would he have a throne in front of him. He was just a 15-year-old commoner in Blackhot City, a miserable teenager who had a crush on Miss Daina but didn't even have the courage to look straight at her. Because he was lucky enough to pick up a special piece of pyrite on the roadside, his life had more possibilities. Among the numerous deities and Buddhas in the sky, one of them was in a good mood. Seeing Zhang Tie pitifully, he reached out his hand to touch Zhang Tie's head and pointed out a bright path for him.
All luck wouldn't necessarily turn into strength, and it wouldn't necessarily make your dreams come true. The path between luck and strength, the path between luck and dreams, only had one name — down-to-earth hard work! Hard work! Harder work!
Heaven rewards the diligent! For all the small figures, this was the only rule in the Age of Black Iron. Apart from this rule, there was another rule that all lucky people should keep in mind. Before they had the ability to protect their luck, they should never let others know that they were that lucky person.
