《Dagon, Dungeon evolved》19 - Touch me not
Advertisement
The previous title, The First Mini boss Fight (or lack thereof), it is lack thereof to me for 1 stupid reason. The boss can only do 1 thing. Captivate. It does nothing at combat and needs everyone else help to capture/kill. =/
with them dead and gone, it was time to get upgrading once again.
8 +6 EV Points. hmmm what should I get?

So many options.
To net up to 15 mobs,
I have the first option, 5 points to ,from there I would put 2 points to the new ability and .3 points in any of them or
The 2nd option was to spread it thinly,3 points to , 2 to , 2 point to and 3 point to it would leave me with 4 points that I can put in , or
The 3rd option was something I am partial to, I could have a mixture, 5 points to and 4 to .i would be left with 5 points which I can put to , or + , or the new ability. That would net me up to 12 mobs
grants me hypnotic/luring abilities. Very useful I would say. If I went along the lines of , I can upgrade it to tier 5 and would still have 4 points. I would be able to upgrade and as well by 1 tier. That would also generate me 12 new mobs.
And then there is the greedier options.
Another that came to me was that I place 5 points to , and the remain 9 points into that would be quite effective but by the guess it would generate me at most 9 guys? 3 from the new type that came from, 3 from tier 4 and 3 from tier 5 very risky.

If I upgrade I can upgrade it to tier 6 and be left with 3 points that would leave me to upgrade either , or or upgrade one of the new one. No matter what it can only generate me 9 mobs.
Ahhhh. All the options… I really could not decide. Given no choice, I made the call. It was time to tap into that wasted resource. Alex.
*ring-ring*
“Moshi Moshi?”
“I have a little situation.”
“You have a kid?”
“NO. What made you think that way? Wait a minute… Don’t tell me….No! Don’t answer that. I do not want to know the details.”
“Whatever you want spill it. I got more pressing matters at hand.”
In no time I gave Alex a quick recap on what is going on.
“So you have 14 points and you cannot decide on how you want to spend it..”
“Pretty much sums up the situation.”
“Ok I will break it down for you. What do you need right now? Ways to kill. Among all these, what seems most likely to give you better way to kill? is a must. That means 3 points down. and are good but do you need more status effect? You want to trigger the capture effect not the others for the Singing Tree. and may be good.i am not sure about but it gave you Carpet Thorns. Investing in it will give more details about it. gave Pollen Dash, Sapling and Runner. Moving plants are a good plan as well. So by idea, you have , and that amounts to 7 points. From there you have 2 options, upgrade and the new ability, or upgrade and or . These guys feel like they are more likely to provide you Combat Units as compared to the choices. Either way you would be upgrading 5 things. That would mean at least 5 mobs. Personally I would like to see new stuff so I would choose to have and upgrade the new ability.”

11 out of 15! Not bad. 9 plants and 2 herbs. That might be usefulllll…..
What is that ? pitcher plant? Something that looks like Napthene? It sounds like one. Let me see.
Tossing one in my garden, I looked at it grow. It looked… very different to what I imagined…. It was more of a 3 legged plant that had one opening on top that looked like a hand cannon….
Moving on I grew the Glass grass.
I could barely see the Glass Grass but by the looks of it, it looks good as a indoor plant. A clear crystal plant that stands that unmoving is a straight house decoration.
Ginseng. That was how I saw it when it grew. After using the uproots skill of sensor, I see a walking ginseng. the wailing was annoying though. Good thing I could turn that off in the garden. A walking ginseng is cool in the garden.
Rootling looked like a bunch of string gone wrong. Ends sticking up everywhere, just where is the core of the plant I cannot tell. It screamed spaghetti monster from every angle.
Frenzy looking like a stem and a 10 sided shuriken on top. It looks like a fun plant. From the looks of it, Singing Tree will be making people crazy suddenly. I can imagine the scene where someone will say… “hey ! where is my heal? Wait why are you charging at me?”
Rage Bane look more like a tattooed plant. Not very nice looking to me. But it seems useful 5% mp regen. It should the perfect potion material for Clerics. They deal no damage and attack speed would not affect them. They heal for just the same amount I think.
Radar looks just like its name, a satellite dish. it looks more like a lotus pad than anything else after that first glance. It looks really promising for combat. Put it near a boss and no more back stabbing. It also act like a general. I can imagine 10 sappers shooting all at one target at the same time~
Buzzer, not sure why it is called that. I rather that it is called bell. It looked more like a temple bell you see in those ancient chinese temples.
I really liked mimosa. It is just as its name, touch me not. as a kid I have always touched it. And now, I have a 0.5m tall Mimosa… I just had to touch it....
The next thing I knew I got slapped. By the Mimosa. The shrinking is instant and my face was just too near. It was fine until I looked around. The Pitcher plant was facing me with the hand cannon, same with the ginseng all all the other plants I had in the garden.
Bam!
a hard seed slammed into my face, then another, and another.
The next I knew was that I was pelted by various attacks.
I re-read Mimosa again.
NameMimosaTypePlantHP160MP0Attack0Defence500Abilities - Increase allies within 20m radius defence by 50.
Nope, it said nothing about the concentrated attack. Was it because of Radar? But just to make sure, I removed Radar. I poked at it again after it opened up again 15 seconds later. It still happened. Once again was I pelted by various attacks.
If only i had a bat...
Plant by plant I removed to see what could have caused it. I endured that many times of the attacks but nothing explained it. Then I was down to just Mimosa and a Sapper. I still got hit. I took out Sapper and placed Runner instead. I still got hit. It was not Sapper either. I sat down on my Mahogany Rocking Chair thinking what could have been the reason. Could it have been the place or could it have been a bug I had no idea. It took a while before I realized one thing.
It was not the other plants. Mimosa had a secret skill.
A nefarious scheme was put to place, or at least put in a place. A fake eden on the 2nd floor. Mimosa Maze Garden with various other plants. That sounded fun. Who does not want to touch a Mimosa, the touch me not. Touch and everyone will hit you. Perfect for a maze hedge. You could see past it but you cannot touch it. The moment you do touch it you are hit… now I just need to make an obstacle course… oh… I can’t. They can’t grow on rocks. It has to be the flat ground. Oh well. But maze here I come.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

Quebracho: The Legend of Two Heroes
After a violent and tough battle, you recover in an infirmary with your fellow soldiers, or in a more relatable scenario, visit your friend's house after a hard day of studying. You’d expect that both of them would play out normally for the most part, right? Well... Maxon Cortez and Jason McGuire had the same thoughts too. Yet, fate has different plans for them: Max ends up in an eerie location he doesn’t recognize and Jace gets transported to an entirely different world that works like a video game (sort of) by walking into a portal. As they travel along the lands, the two of them will encounter other individuals of many kinds, make friends new and old, gain powerful abilities, experience spectacular adventures, and obtain priceless treasures. However, Maxon and Jason will unknowingly become integral parts of a nefarious conspiracy that, if successful, will plunge both of their worlds into eternal chaos and darkness. So it’s up to them and their allies to thwart it. Side-Note: I’ll admit right off the bat that this story will be my first attempt at writing a LitRPG, so the in-game mechanics and terminology will probably look weird and be even nonsensical. If you notice something that’s out-of-place or just flat out wrong, I apologize. Not only that, it's been a while since I've wrote anything and thus I'm a little bit rusty. So please bear with me. New chapters once every Saturday or Sunday. Also, I'll be fine-tuning the grammar, punctuation, and spelling when I have the time. So expect a lot of random edits. This story is also available on ScribbleHub.
