Atlan slumped on his bed after a very interesting day. He met quite a few odd individuals today.First, he met Adam, who was supposedly part of a secret organization operating in the undergrounds of the City to bring back the glory of humans. Their faction was called the Prime Humans.
Although he didn't know if Adam was telling the truth or not, there was one thing for sure: Prime Humans had a Trait.
Atlan gained a Trait after he reaped the death of Quinto Kindle, the First Savior, which meant that he was also a part of the Prime Humans.
Then, he met Geminus, the leader of the declining Garden Club. He invited Atlan to join the club, which Atlan was going to decline, but then the deaths he reaped from the garden made him reconsider.
And after he got his 9-star Genus from the Vineyard, a few lackeys suddenly ambushed him.
They were all in the 5th stage Student realm. Atlan would have had a lot more trouble dealing with them if his LifeSkills hadn't finished their consolidation period just at the right time.
[You have successfully advanced your SSS class Cherubic Retribution LifeSkill to the 4th stage of the Student Realm]
[You have successfully advanced your SSS class Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill to the 3rd stage of the Student Realm]
Since his two SSS class LifeSkills advanced to the next level, his physical strength was also boosted to such an extent that he was able to stand toe to toe against the three lackeys.
He would have advanced them to the next level if he had the time, but he was busy fighting and trying to figure out how his Modify Memory Spore worked.
But now that he was at home, he upgraded them to the next level.
—DPS: (SSS) Cherubic Retribution
——— Consolidating to 5th stage
———— 14 days
—Sniper: (SSS) Apocalyptic Hellfire
——— Consolidating to 4th stage
———— 7 days
The Cherubic Retribution cost 4000 experience points to upgrade to the 5th stage while the Apocalyptic Hellfire cost 3000 experience to advance to the 4th stage, which brought his total experience down to 53,521.2.
With everything settled, Atlan closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next day, he was greeted with the notification that his Modify Memory Spore successfully advanced to the 2nd stage Student realm.
He used 2000 experience points to upgrade it to the 3rd stage.
[You have successfully advanced through the 2nd stage Student Realm of your SR class LifeSkill Modify Memory Spore]
[Consolidation period: 47 hrs: 59 mins: 50secs]
With nothing else left to do, he walked to the City Center and entered the HeadQuarters. He still garnered some looks of recognition and amazement, but they didn't try to stop him or anything.
Atlan continued to walk to the end of the HeadQuarters until he finally came across the empty Garden Club.
He looked around and couldn't even see anyone near this place. It was completely abandoned. This was the only place in the HeadQuarters that wasn't teeming with people.
According to Geminus, people used to treat plants as if they were pets. They were used for construction, for accompaniment, and even for entertainment. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But when the advent of Pseudo Canzers hit the City, everyone stopped caring about plants. They would rather breed new and exciting Pseudo Canzers to fill the responsibility that the plants once had.
Subsequently, all the funding went over to the Pseudo Canzer research in the Operator division. Hence, the garden club's decline. No one even wanted to join the club, except for Atlan. Experience new tales on M-V-L
He was the only one who could benefit from taking care of the dying plants. He reaped more than 3500 deaths just yesterday!
Since entry to Pocket Remediums like the public Training Hall was still prohibited, Atlan had no other way of gaining more experience other than through the garden club. In fact, this was much safer than killing Pseudo Canzers in the Pocket Remedium; they could always malfunction and summon another Specialist level Canzer.
As he went over the rusting steel gate, he saw a note pasted on the side door. He ripped it from the gate and read its contents.
<Hello, Atlan. It's me, Geminus. I'm sorry I won't be able to guide you on your first day working in the Garden Club, but I'm sure you'll do fine.
I have just one job for you, and it's quite important. I want you to take care of one plant and make sure that it doesn't die. It's quite easy.
You should whistle to our resident Big Vine and he'll take you to where you're in charge.
I'm counting on you!>
That's what I have to do? I have to take care of a single plant?
Atlan was a bit frustrated that he wasn't given more instructions on how to take care of this plant. He didn't know the basics! He lived in a place devoid of any plant life, so he never even knew how to take care of a single blade of grass.
That's it?
He had no choice but to improvise. He pushed the side door and entered the Garden Club.
As expected, the whole place was surrounded by overgrown plants and weeds.
It looks like plants will continue to grow even if I don't take care of them.
He looked up at the largest tree in the distance. He remembered how Geminus used his hands to fold his tongue on the inside to create a whistling sound.
Did he do it like this?
Atlan blew at his hands, but there was no sound coming out.
He continued to change the position of his hands until he finally produced a high-pitched whistling sound that reverberated through the Garden.
The ground trembled a little bit as the giant vine that was wrapped around the trunk of the biggest tree, suddenly moved and uncoiled itself.
It slithered in the air as it located where the sound came from. Like a sentient being, it looked in Atlan's direction and moved towards him.
It bent down and offered its giant leaf for him to sit in.
Once he was on top of the vine, it lifted him and waded through the jungle-like garden without any instruction from Atlan. It knew what to do and where to go.
Just then, Atlan suddenly saw a fluttering paper stuck on the leaf. He looked at its contents.
<Oops, silly me. I forgot to tell you
that the plant you'll be taking care of is called the Chronobloom.
It's the only one left in the entire world.>
