Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System

[Origin Village Upgrade to Tier 5] – (Cost: 1000 Unity) - [Accept: Y/N]

Cassius's expression solidified as he clicked accept, watching as the Large Origin Courtyard and all its Origin Workers became covered in a luminescent light. They quickly underwent drastic metamorphosis, with the latter adapting to the huge changes happening to the Origin Village.

FWISH!

Once the expansion of light came to an abrupt stop, System Notifications materialized before Cassius:

*Ding!*

[Large Origin Courtyard (Tier 4) → Small Origin Town (Tier 5)]

[Your Origin Village has successfully reached Tier 5, bringing about many unforeseen changes! Of which includes the unlocking of the Tier 3 Origin Shop!]

[Opening Tier 3 Origin Shop right away!]

{[Origin Shop]}

—[Tier 3]—

[3★ Origin Smelter] - [Cost: 20 Unity]

[3★ Origin Botanist] - [Cost: 30 Unity]

[3★ Origin Seed Enhancer] - [Cost: 45 Unity]

[3★ Origin Researcher] - [Cost: 100 Unity]

"Hmm," Cassius mused, his happiness gradually increasing the longer he looked at the Origin Shop. "From their descriptions, these are just what I was searching for. With them, I'll no longer be limited to Tier 1 Origin Plants."

In other words, his passive Unity acquisition rate was about to soar!

Without hesitation, Cassius bought several Origin Botanists and Seed Enhancers. He also purchased a couple of Origin Researchers and Smelters, knowing exactly what he'd be doing with them.

FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!

In the now mostly empty plot of Origin Land, over a dozen shadowy figures appeared. They fit the bill dictated by their titles, with the Researchers even wearing lab coats that fluttered in the wind.

"Begin research of potential Origin Seeds that can be synthesized from the current knowledge bank on botany," Cassius ordered the Researchers, watching as Unity got deducted before task tabs opened and started to run. "With timers of hours, this definitely won't be a quick and easy reformation of the lackluster agriculture around here. But no matter."

Commanding his System to open up the Origin Seeds that the Origin Botanists could presently spawn in, Cassius saw Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Seeds. Fortunately, the cost for production was far less than what it cost to research new potential Origin Seeds.

As Cassius rapidly organized the newest Origin Units, commencing one task after the next, his Unity plummeted at crazy fast rates. It was to the point that if not for Smelter and Enhancer Tasks costing nothing, he would've entered the negatives.

However, by the time his Unity neared zero, the first of the Tier 2 Origin Plant batches had just finished growing.

[Tier 2 Origin Plant 'Picturala Melon'] - [Consume to obtain 0.3 Unity]

Cassius obviously did just that, feeling and watching as his Unity instantly jumped up by 0.3.

"These are way better than the Tier 1 Origin Plants in production," he noted with a content smile. "Furthermore, seeing as diminishing returns have yet to kick in, just a single one of these colorful melons is the equivalent of hundreds of Eight-lined Tropica Fruits."

Realizing that he had plenty of time to waste here, Cassius spent the next few hours waiting around for the Tier 2 and Tier 3 Origin Plants to finish growing. The latter took multiple times longer to grow than the former, but they also gave roughly 10 Unity each, so they were well worth the wait.

After the passing of a single day, the Small Origin Town had more than a fourth of its territory filled up with squared-off plots of tiled land. Most of those plots were nurturing Tier 1 Spiritual Plants as they had the largest upper caps on production. Moreover, with the assistance of the Botanists and Researchers, dozens of new types of Tier 1 Spiritual Seeds had been synthesized.

Add in the enhancing effects of the Seed Enhancers and the sheer quantity that was the Tier 1 Spiritual Plant population and they almost caught up to the huge amounts of Unity obtained from Tier 2 and Tier 3 Spiritual Plants.

In his first day of overseeing his Tier 5 Origin Village, Cassius amassed more than a thousand Unity. Furthermore, the Small Town itself made great architectural progress, as dozens more Basic Origin Houses were constructed almost overnight. A couple of Origin Community Centers, 8 Origin Storagehouses, and an Origin Smelting Factory also popped up.

But seeing as the Origin Unit population was only continuously growing, Cassius knew that the facilities he had were nowhere near enough.

Thus he kept on expanding…

Day 2: 750 Unity acquired; 50 Basic Origin Houses built; Simple Origin Lab constructed.

Day 5: Higher-level Tier 3 Origin Seeds are developed by the Researchers, tremendously improving the Unity acquisition rate that had been on the decline. 3000 Unity acquired; Origin Town Center begins its 3-day construction time

Day 15: 600 Unity acquired; Tier 4 Origin Seeds undergo research that'll take weeks. Origin Town Center gets many improvements with the repeated development of architecture by the Researchers and Architects working together.

Day 50: The first Tier 4 Origin Seeds finish growing, thus exponentially improving Unity acquisition rate; 5000 Unity acquired; 160 Basic Origin Houses receive upgrades that double their room count and square footage.

Day 180: Numerous Tier 4 Origin Seed types have been successfully researched and spread around the Small Origin Town, considerably reducing the negative effects that diminishing returns had on your Unity acquisition. Months ago, you surpassed 100,000 Unity, but because of the insufficient facilities, you couldn't upgrade your Origin Village. However, with the most recent major upgrades of your Origin Community Center and Town Square to Tier 4, you fulfill the last of the necessary requirements.

Day 181: Origin Village evolves from (Tier 5) to (Tier 6), becoming a Large Origin Town, with over five times more space to utilize than before

Day 200: After experiencing day after day of Attribute Orb absorption, every Origin Unit—from Origin Miners to Farmers and Builders—have Evolution paths open up for them. Tier 4 Origin Units also begin to discover their places in the expansive Origin Village society that involves the work of thousands of Origin Units.
