Well, except for making a special vine bed for the special person.
...what?
I mean Wutian. What're you thinking now?
Anyway, all I'm doing now is to think about are all named monkeys THAT smart, or they're just too stupid - well, save for blue. Now speaking of blue,
All the chaotic situation is really "under control". Are all named monkeys THAT smart, while the rest of them - save for blue - are idiots? Speaking of blue... I wonder where did he go...
"Nnngh..."
"Oh! You're awakened!" I looked towards Wutian, who's currently resting on... a special vine bed that I just created. "How's your... dry cleaning?"
"Ha ha, very funny," He sighed, wiggling his arms and tail to see if he's fully dried off. Great Sun Monkeys DO NOT like being wet, obviously. "I... I failed, didn't I?"
"Hmmmm~ I guess so?" It's rare to hear Wutian spoke with such a depressing tone, but I guess that's how it is when it comes to losing someone/something you love. Worse - it's more depressing when you heard someone you love telling you that they HATE you.
By the way, what's the time now? Oh yes, midnight. Funny that a plant like me don't seem to need any sleeps, eh? But I think the OTHER plants do, because they lack of the sunlights that keep them up. Me? I have sunlight storage in my body.
...
RIGHT! I forgot to mention about that!
You see, I'm... a VERY special plant. I can actually conserve nutritions, sunlights and water in my body! Instead of just sensing how much I stored... I have...
A numbered list.
Just like how much mana and HP I have in me being written as numbers, I also have sunlight energies, nutritions, and waters written as numbers! So like, Sunlight is like my batteries - they keep me moving without the needs to sleep. This is VERY useful when I want to work during the night time.
Nobody sees it coming.
Because it's at night.
...
Get it?
Alright, pun moments aside...
Sunlights are recharged during the daytime, and I have no need to exhaust my own sunlight reserves during that time because there's more than enough sunlights to keep me going.
Now you must be wondering "what about the other plants? Like the defensive plants that you have planted?" Right. That. To keep them working, I have to invest some sunlights into them as well. But of course, I don't NEED to put in 100% sunlight to keep all of them awake. I just need the scouts plants to be awake. When problem arises, I'll put in 100% to all of them and awake them. It won't take a long time since the transfer is quite fast... and it's through the roots so UNLESS they kill off the plants, or extracted them from the ground and sever the roots, I can always wake them up.
Oh. The roots are thick and hard soooooooo it'll take some while to actually cut them too.
And they have fire resistance... albeit minor. They're still something, right?
I'd talk about water and nutritions but it'll take some while so let's put them aside for now and... take care of this "wounded" monkey, alright?
"Y'know. Rather than thinking too hard about it... why don't you get some sleep?" I spoke to Wutian, who just sat there all depressed and didn't even want to look at me other than the ground, or his feet. "I'm very sure the day will be brighter when the sun hits the top."
"Ha ha, very funny..." But hey, he responded!
"I'm serious! Look, if you just keep on thinking about all of these, you won't get ANYTHING out of it... so why don't you just try to get some sleep, and hopefully things will get better when you wake up? Hey, maybe he'll be sorry about what he said because of the people kept on giving him pressure and it's totally not your fault?"
"..."
"Come on, I've prepared a very nice viney beddy here. It's comfy, right?" I mean, I PURPOSELY inserted the "comfortable" trait into it. It MUST be comfy.
...now what if I make it "comfortable" in other senses? Hmmm. That's something to think about when I make another "trap" plant. Heh. Heh. Heh.
"...alright alright. I'll go ahead and take a nap at your comfy viney..." He gave up and listened to me - yay~ - and went back to the Comfy Viney - right, that should be an official name for it.
[ Do you want to name "swinging vine bed" creation as { Comfy Viney } ? ]
[ Yes / No.]
[ Yes / No.]
Oh, I can do that? Yes please!
[ Acknowledged. { Comfy Viney } registered. ]
Oh! I see how it works now!
So I can actually save or register a name of the "creation" that I just made, AND THEN recreate the same thing with the same setting without having to tweak everything from scratch!
DAMN!
I should've done that with all the trap flowers I tweaked just now. Do you know how long it took for me to tweak all of them one by one?!
Sigh.
= = = = = = = = = =
"...See how his brother treats him? He couldn't even control his own brother!"
That's the first thing that piqued my interest when the sun arise. Huh, I wonder who decided to raise such a ruckus after yesterday.
"If he couldn't even control his own brother, how do you think he's supposed to control the more rowdy monkeys that aren't even his own family?"
"What are you talking about?! We're all a huge family! We can't just bring him down because he couldn't control his own brother!"
"I'm very sure every family has their own sibling issues. This is not a good reason to rebel against him."
Alright, so, there's a few monkeys rounding up near my coconut tree and trying to reason with each other... about rebellion? They're going to rebel against Wutian? Huh. Interesting... Well, obviously, I can see that 2 of them have some brains here.
"Listen to me!" This time, it's a Light Ape. Hmmm... he seemed familiar. "If this goes on, who knows who he will choose? His own blood brother, or us? Imagine, if he actually FORCED the great tree, Arcaxia, to bestow a name for his brother, despite him being only a lazy-ass or worse - our ENEMY! He hated Wutian, right? But most of all... he hated all of the monkeys - all of us."
That silenced the other monkeys, but one monkey raised up his hand.
"But... He said that the holy tree agreed to him, too-"
"Nonsense! Have you heard the tree said ANYTHING?" Come to think about it, I really didn't. "Also, didn't you noticed that the tree didn't even bother to help Wutian out even though he's being attacked? I'm very sure that the tree is furious towards the current leader, too!"
...yyyyyyyyyeah... That point makes sense. You win this round.
"Do you think that the holy tree is being threatened by Wutian?"
"I'm afraid you might be right... Trees are weak against fire and Wutian is a Great Sun Monkey... he COULD burn her off!"
"Oh no! What should we do?! If the great tree is dead, then so are the rest of us!"
Hey hey hey, I won't die that easily. Besides, I "promised" you guys... right?
"Of course we'll protect the great tree from harm!" The Light Ape spoke once again, standing up tall and patted on his chest. "We shall be the last monkeys standing when it comes to harming the great tree!"
"The boss is right," Boss? Why is this Fire Ape calling this Light Ape "boss"- Ohhhh. Oh I remembered.
This "boss" is the son of the ex-chieftain. No, not Wutian's dad - obviously he's not his brother - but it's the PREDECESSOR of Wutian's dad. Still, I thought he's... Wutian's "brother" or something?
"I know what to do!" One Earth Ape suddenly stood up. "Let's talk to the sacred tree," Great tree, holy tree, sacred tree... Man, I'll never run out of titles, eh? "And let's find out the truth!"
"That's a great idea!"
"Let's go," The Light Ape nodded towards all of them, and lead them towards my place...
...with a smile.
= = = = = =
"Oh Great Blessed Tree Arcaxia, I thank you for your blessings."
"Thank you for your blessings."
So now, all of them are here, kneeling against me. They were full of vigor before they came, but right now after greeting me, they just... don't know how to start.
"Mmm," Yeah. That's the thing that I did. Not really... my thing? Yyyeah. I know. But Wutian told me to speak less for now... saying that if I were to speak, I would break the whole "Holy Tree" act thingy and people will start disrespecting me. Sigh.
"Oh Great Tree Arcaxia... pardon our sudden humble appearances..." The Light Ape spoke finally, in a deep voice. "But we have something to question the Great Tree."
"Mmm. Is that so. Speak then," If it's the original me, I would just say "fire it up!" but eh. I can't. I have to be their "Great Sacred Holyspicymama Blessed Beautiful Tree Dear Arcaxia the Eternal Friend of Sun Wutian and the Savior of the Monkey Population".
"Pardon if this offends you... but we're asking this out of sincere and care," He continued, trying to find his words as he spoke. "Have... Have our leader... been mistreating you?"
Now. There's the bomb that I need to defuse. Or I can choose not to and let it explode. Of course it'll be more fun if I decided on that, but, eh... I've sinned enough to cause MORE troubles to the monkeys...
Maybe I should be honest.
"No. Sun Wutian is my greatest friend. He would never harm me in any ways possible," Except when he asked for my help to name ALL of you... giving lifeforce IS a kind of "harm" that I only receive right now anyway. Other than he once wanted to eat me, but that's in the past now.
"I... see..." He seemed to be troubled by this revelation. "I think that is all, my holy tree."
"Mmm."
And so, they left. But no, it doesn't seemed that I defused the bomb.
Why?
"I'm very sure Great Tree Arcaxia's too afraid to tell the truth!" One of them spoke.
"Yeah... Poor great tree..." Yeah, poor me, having to watch ALL of you fuck and fucked up. Sigh. "I hope I can do something..." I guess the only thing that you can do is to NOT do anything???
"No. This cannot go on... we HAVE to stop the naming session!" Eh. What? "Unless the monkeys that he named are the good monkeys, all the monkeys that were on HIS side should not be named!"
"Why???"
"So that he won't gain more power!" The Light Ape exclaimed. "Imagine... if Wutian was to gain MORE power and MORE people around him... the great tree cannot be protected that way! Even if we were to protect the holy tree, we couldn't win against such numbers and such strengths! We HAVE to stop them!"
"Oh my... you're right!"
"We have to do something!"
"Let's go... but don't spread this out. Who knows which monkey is the spy monkey?"
...spy monkey? Monkey spy? Monkey... Mon...spey? Oh no, I'm getting worse at this.

...REALLY?!?!?!?!?!
