Today I spent most of my time training with Shirliex. Of course I did, what else would I be doing? Today she taught me a way to make absolutely certain that I was getting as much out of Solar Energy as I possibly could, to her knowledge anyway. The problem is that the method is super slow, like the average person would take decades to actually get anywhere, and at least a century before they reached their first watershed. On top of that, it is incredibly tedious and repetitive. Of course, I am not the average person, and I’m not only used to doing slow, tedious processes like this, that’s basically what refining my plants is, I’m really good at it.

Basically how you do it is you figure out the smallest chunk that you could get perfect every time, and then go a bit smaller because people overestimate their abilities to do something perfectly a billion times in a row, much less how many times you would need to do it in order to get much use out of this method. It’s actually really obvious in hindsight.

Shirliex recommended this method to me after I told her about how exactly I refine plants, which came up because I was working on refining one that I bought from the terminal today. A plant by the name of Pyre, which is basically just a fancy way of saying fire. In its natural form it forms a flower out of fire. Apparently, it was created by a pyromancer that wanted to give his dryad lover a gift, it was a surprisingly heartwarming tale.

Its actual ability is the ability to manipulate fire, and I got it because half of all the ex-leaders plans for dealing with me revolved around burning my forest down. My trees are fire resistant, as far as trees go anyway, they are still quite flammable. I figured a plant that manipulates fire would make for a good way to make them fireproof.

It was surprisingly complex for what it was, it took pretty much all day to refine. Of course, I didn’t devote all of my attention to it. I’m going to try to integrate it into my trees and myself tomorrow. Speaking of, I should probably practice integrating plants into other people as it will be relevant for my current project. I know exactly how to do it for myself, because I saw it happen sixteen times when I evolved, but I have a rather unique physiology.

Now that I think about it, Blastbark has a very similar structure to Pyre. I do remember saying that Blastbark was made by a plant manipulator by striping down some type of fire plant, could it be that Pyre is what Blastbark was made out of? The shape of the flowers they produce naturally are very similar, just one is made of plant material and the other is made of fire.

Other than that I spent a bit of time with Azrezel. Now that his hivemind is functioning in full force he has moved on to another project. Azrezel is working on making them better combatants, primarily by focusing on their ability to control their bodies and their ability to react. Both of which are near zero right now.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
