The town was big and filled with a lot of resources that could not only feed so many people but also immediately fix a wall and gate that had been destroyed by a group of witches.
This town was practically the future.
And it could provide Lenny with what he wanted.
Lenny was not dumb. He could see the signs of very advanced technology everywhere he looked.
In a city where the citizens were not suffering but even thriving in peace, Lenny could bet that they had sophisticated science gear that could aid in the swift production of food.
This, of course, meant that they could most likely clone or stuff like that.
This particular mission given by the system was not an easy one.
If Lenny had to solve it himself, it would have been very difficult.
Sorting out plants by their genus or species was not easy at all. After all, there were many that could have so many similarities that it became a problem to know their differences.
In fact, Lenny felt lucky that the system had not said only Specie that's where the true problem would have come from.
Plants, according to Lenny's knowledge, were classified:
Based on whether they had a firstly, well-differentiated body (root, stem, and leaves),
Secondly, the presence or absence of specialized vascular tissues
Thirdly, the presence or absence of seeds, flowers, and seeds
But some other differences could not be judged by physical appearance alone but by chemical function.
This was where the real difference and function could be found.
The technology available in this place was going to do it for him.
As Lenny waited, he suddenly felt a strange tug in his stomach.
It hurt a lot.
Lenny immediately understood that this was the effect of the grass he had just eaten.
He gave a bitter smile, "You fucking system. You said I wouldn't die, but did not say anything about me not feeling the other side effects of the toxic traits."
Luckily, it was only a stomach ache for the time being.
In another three hours, Mani brought the first batch of the plant.
One look at them, and Lenny could tell that these had been cultured in a lab.
There were five specimens.
The moment they were presented to him, he immediately ate all of them.
An action that instantly surprised Mani.
She was now definitely sure that Lenny was running mad.
<Plants Eaten +6>
The system gave the alert.
"Where are the rest?" He asked her.
"The lab is working on it. It will take some time. They estimate that it would take about a few days to make, as they do not want to make any more deadly plants. They want to remove all the... "
"IT DOES NOT MATTER!"
Lenny screamed, cutting her off.
"I don't care if it's toxins are the worst there is in the world; just get it to ME. Mix all the shots you have to and bring them to me."
"But... But... Lady Ella said..."
"I don't care what Lady Ella said."
At this point, Lenny was resisting the divine urge to jump in the air and smack Mani's face.
As relieving as that would be for him, he could see from her expression that she was confused and panicking at the moment.
Lenny took a deep breath, in and out.
There was truly no way he could explain to this woman that his life depended on him taking those toxic substances.
He walked up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"In three days, Ciri the Witch will attempt to own power like no other, and when she is done, she will come for your 'Lady Ella'. What I am doing now is giving her a fighting chance. All I need is for you to get me those..."
Lenny suddenly realized that he could not feel his tongue.
He tried to open his mouth and talk, but his tongue would not move.
Yet, again, another effect of toxins. It was possible that this was from the five he just ate.
Lenny's mind immediately did calculations.
He immediately understood that if he continued like this, he could very well reach a point where moving his limbs would be impossible.
He could already start to feel some of his motor functions loosening.
Lenny was already a rank-four lesser demon.
His body was stronger than any human in history.
Naturally, toxins were not supposed to be harmful to him.
However, the first plant he instructed the other species to be modelled after was from the pocket space where the invitation stone resided.
Without a doubt, that patch of grass was not ordinary.
However, for what Lenny needed, it was the most suitable.
Lenny looked around as he felt his insides churn some more.
He could tell that he might lose motor functions soon.
Immediately, he grabbed the pen and book he had been jotting down for his experiments and penned down some instructions.
As he did, he could already feel the fatigue in his body.
Even writing with the pen was not an easy task.
It was as if he was trying to move a heavy boulder with his mind.
However, biting his tongue for the motivation of pain, he managed to barely finish writing on the paper before he fell to the ground.
His skin began showing red spots, and instantly, he passed out.
His motor functions had instantly shut down.
His consciousness was intact, but everything else had gone to sleep.
However, Lenny could actually still detect his environment.
This he did through his passive ability, which allowed him to sense his environment.
However, he could not move, see, hear, or even feel.
Everything had gone off.
As stated earlier, the Satan system preserved his life.
However, it preserved only his life.
Everything else was left to fate.
As Lenny stayed in this terrible position, all he could do was pray that Mani followed the instructions on that piece of paper he left behind.
If not, he would die here.
