Chapter 5 Black-hearted coal boss
[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]
[Professional level upgrade, lv2→lv3]
…
After half a day of hard work.
Finally, Rhodes ushered in another upgrade.
[Magic Tree Spirit lv3]
[Profession: Gardener]
[Experience: 0/30]
[Ordinary magic: None]
[Professional magic: Cultivation]
The level upgrade made Rhodes feel the changes in his body.
Not only the spirit and magic, but also the strength is stronger than before, so he doesn't have to gasp for breath to turn the soil of the seeds.
According to his estimation.
LV1 should be the scope of ordinary adults.
Those with special talents and special physiques may be higher.
Of course.
This is a guess without reference.
After all, it is possible that he traveled to a hydrogen continent.
And after upgrading to lv3, Rhodes felt that the duration of his spellcasting had been extended to about four minutes, one minute longer than some middle-aged men who were unable to do it.
As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger.
One more minute is also a lot, isn't it?
Many people wanted this minute but couldn't.
It also made Rhodes full of hope for the future, and he continued to cast cultivation magic on the seedlings.
As for the little thing.
It was secretly looking at this side from a distance.
After the previous battle, the little thing was much less wary of Rhodes.
Seeing him continue to cast magic on the three seedlings, it finally couldn't hold back its curiosity, left the small pit under the statue, and slowly approached this side.
A pair of timid eyes always fell on the seedlings, looking at Rhodes from time to time, wondering why Rhodes could grow things here.
After all, even those powerful old tree spirits couldn't do it.
In the end.
Curiosity overcame fear.
For the first time, it stepped into the five-meter range around Rhodes with its own consciousness, and then hid behind the stone with a vigilant face, like a puppy alert to strangers.
Seeing that Rhodes didn't react, it moved forward half a meter.
No reaction, moved half a meter again.
Just moving and moving, unknowingly came behind Rhodes, curiously looking at the three seedlings, eyes sparkling.
It seemed that there was an instinct telling it.
These seedlings were more important than its life.
"I won't eat you, why are you standing so far away?"
Rhodes noticed it and smiled back.
The little thing was a great contributor to protecting the seedlings, so he naturally couldn't scare it like before.
Feeling the kindness in his tone, the little thing that had just turned around and was about to escape stopped and looked at him hesitantly.
"Thanks to you today, otherwise these seedlings would have been ruined. I have decided that you will be the guardian of the dream forest in the future!"
Regardless of whether the little thing was willing or not, Rhodes waved his hand and made the appointment generously.
Anyway, there are only two of them in this forest now.
What to call is not up to him?
However.
What Rhodes never expected was.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange scene happened.
Buzz——
The statue of the moon god in the center of the altar suddenly lit up, spreading a circle of green ripples, covering the panicked little thing.
Then the light fell.
It gathered into a moon mark on its chest.
It gradually dissipated after several breaths.
On the originally smooth body, there was an extra layer of thick bark, which greatly improved its defense. The little guy looked around with curiosity in his eyes.
Ah?
Is this possible?
Rhodes finally woke up from his shock.
He was shocked and ran to the statue.
"Quick! Come to me too! Change my job to a combat profession, druid, warrior, ranger, wood elf mage, lich, etc.!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no response.
Blaze!
Rhodes smashed the ground angrily.
The leaves that had just grown on his head almost fell off.
This is how you play, right?
I won't plant this broken sapling anymore!
Rhodes raised his foot and wanted to kick the statue, but when he raised it to mid-air, he put it back, like a deflated ball, and turned back to continue planting trees.
It's just a combat profession.
I don't want it!
The sour smell instantly filled the entire altar.
The little thing, whose body had changed greatly, hesitated for a moment, and then went to a nearby place to dig the soil diligently, as if he wanted to build a high wall to protect the seedlings.
"You have a conscience."
Seeing the little thing's dusty appearance, Rhode smiled.
He didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and continued to cast cultivation magic on the seedlings.
[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]
...
In a blink of an eye.
Three days passed.
With Rhode's tireless cultivation and the help of the little thing, the three seedlings finally grew up and became small trees as tall as a person.
Yes.
You heard it right.
I don't know if it's because the dream forest is full of magic power, or the growth rules of this world are different, the growth speed of plants is obviously much faster.
Coupled with the ten-fold acceleration of Rhode's [Cultivation] magic, three days is equivalent to a month, and they have grown directly from seedlings to small trees.
Especially the first tree planted, which had already opened its buds on the third day, and produced red fruits under Rhode's artificial pollination.
But...
"Isn't this fruit poisonous?"
"Why are they all purple?"
"There's a black one!"
Looking at the purple and black fruits, Rhodes wondered if the Moon God had given the wrong seeds.
After all, he didn't ask for any seeds when he prayed.
What if the fruit was really poisonous, wouldn't he die if he ate it?
And look at the color of the fruit...
It looks like the black soil outside.
Could it be contaminated by radiation.
"Do you want to try it?"
Rhodes picked a fruit that was not so black and handed it to the little thing.
Little thing:? ?
After spending a few days together, the little thing was no longer so scared, but had a little more respect for Rhodes.
Maybe it saw with its own eyes that Rhodes could draw the power of the Moon God, and regarded him as the incarnation of the Moon God, and usually didn't dare to get too close to him.
But this time.
The little thing still came over.
Staring closely at the fruit in Rhodes' hand, its eyes were full of desire.
You can see.
It really wants this fruit.
After getting Rhode's approval, it swallowed it happily, with its two little hands on its bulging mouth, as if afraid that someone would snatch it away.
Rhode was amused by its reaction.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will snatch it from you. There are still a lot of them here. As long as you work hard, I will give them to you every day."
Uh...
Why does it sound like a black-hearted coal boss who abducts child laborers?
With a deep sense of guilt, Rhode was basically sure that these fruits were not poisonous, at least they would be fine after eating them.
However, he observed the little thing for a while and ate a few of them himself. Except for the ability to slowly restore magic power, he didn't see any obvious changes. It seemed that they were just ordinary fruits.
He wasted so many days of expectations!
"Too stingy."
Rhode complained about the stingy god in his heart.
After picking a few ripe fruits for the little thing as snacks, he brought the rest to the Moon Well and placed them side by side.
It is said that prayer requires sincerity, and sacrifices are just incidental.
Dear Moon God.
You don't want the dream forest to be ruined by the black beast, right?
If I don't give you some rewards, I won't have the motivation to continue protecting it. You can decide for yourself.
