402 Chapter 315: The Seed of the World Tree [3/3]
He praised him and gave him a thumbs up.
“Awesome!!”
Richard found it a little funny when he looked at his expression.
It seemed dark valkyrie had left a deep impression on him.
What would his expression be like if he knew Richard had two bosses like the dark valkyrie and were not weaker than her?
“We’ll talk about this later… How should I address you?”
“Boss Qingqiu, my forum ID is Steamed Bun Lover.”
Richard chuckled.
“Not bad. The buns are good. It’s white and clean. I like it too.”
[Steamed Bun Lover] revealed an ambiguous smile and immediately felt they were much closer.
“Boss Qingqiu, let me tell you, don’t be fooled by the harpies’ wings. The rest of their bodies are bare…”
Richard waved his hand dismissively.
“Ahem, let’s talk in private later.”
As he spoke, he gestured to the seed of the world tree in his hand.
“Where did you get this?”
When it came to serious matters, the budding lovers also became solemn.
“I found this in an elven ruin two months ago.
“We found a total of ten seeds. But the other seeds have all weathered away. Only this shriveled one still has its attributes.”
Richard immediately thought of the ruins of the nine bronze gates. He’d gained a lot from there last time.
He would have to find time to explore it again in the future.
“Did you find any other treasures?”
[Steamed Bun Lover] shook his head regretfully. “No, there’s only one seed.”
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
“What do you mean?”
[Steamed Bun Lover] said seriously.
“Boss Qingqiu, the seed of the world tree is too high-level. I can’t use it now. I want to give it to you.”
Richard looked at him calmly.
“Everyone knows the saying ‘don’t take a reward without doing anything’. What do you want? ”
He didn’t believe his charm was so great that other players would take the initiative to offer their treasures.
It might be possible if it were a native.
After all, his charm was already quite impressive with the buffs of a few skills. If he couldn’t survive in the future, he could even go to an NPC City and find a few n.o.ble young women to live off.
[Steamed Bun Lover] heaved a sigh of relief and revealed everything with a bit of bitterness.
“Boss Qingqiu, my territory is in danger. I need a mighty troop…
From his explanation, Richard understood the predicament of [Steamed Bun Lover.]
On the primary plane, the territory of [Steamed Bun Lover] was on the plains.
And there was a powerful orc force around his territory.
The beast men were from the tribal camp and acted arrogantly. They treated other races as prey.
The other party could have wiped him out if it weren’t for his weak territory.
But even so, as the territory grew, they gradually felt the malice from the orcs.
The enemy had more than 20,000 troops. And they even had high-level troops like the wyvern.
The other surrounded his territory and could devour any time.
Therefore, he needed a powerful force to break the situation.
The seed of the world tree was precious.
However, this thing was too advanced. [Steamed Bun Lover] had no idea how to use it.
Although he had tried countless times, he could not restore its vitality.
Therefore, the seed of the world tree had become of little value to him.
He didn’t know how to use this treasure in exchange for living s.p.a.ce, or he would die of thirst in the desert with the gold. It was not a choice for him at all.
He initially planned to take a big gamble after he entered the instance dungeon. But the cruel reality had made him realize how weak he was.
He could only wait for death if he didn’t use the seeds of the world tree to exchange for a chance of survival.
Richard’s mood was a little strange after he heard the words of [Stemaed Bun Lover].
The geographical environment of Twilight City was harsh. And the resources were scarce to an outrageous extent.
However, it had to be precise because he was in the desert. And there were no enemies around that he had sufficient s.p.a.ce to develop.
“I can make a deal with you, but what do you want?”
Richard looked at him calmly.
“This treasure is supremely precious, but I’m sure you know it’s not priceless.”
“State your conditions. We’ll proceed with the transaction if they’re within a reasonable range.”
Desire filled the eyes of [Steamed Bun Lover].
“Boss Qingqiu, I hope you can help me earn points. In the last instance dungeon, many people exchanged for a mighty troop lair…
Richard shook his head.
“Let’s change the condition. I also need several points, and I need more than you.
The divine blood of darkness and the crown of the King of Darkness would cost 13 million points in total. Richard still had tens of millions of points left. So he could not give up on these two pieces of equipment.
“Also, it’s too late to develop a troop now. Will the orcs give you time to develop?”
When [Steamed Bun Lover] heard this, he was in a dilemma.
After he pondered, he saw the dark valkyrie beside him.
His eyes suddenly brightened.
It was indeed as the other party had said. There was still time if [Steamed Bun Lover] only wanted to earn points to exchange for a troop-type nest to develop.
The other party would not give him the time.
He took a deep breath as he thought of the beast’s actions.
He decided in his heart.
He looked at him with a burning gaze.
“Boss Qingqiu, I will use the seed of the world tree in exchange for your help.”
Richard raised an eyebrow.
“Help you deal with that beast force?”
“That’s right!”
“Our territories are not connected.
“I have a way to get a Teleportation Scroll…”
When Richard saw the antic.i.p.ation in the eyes of [Steamed Bun Lover], it immediately moved him.
‘I didn’t want to help, but he gave me too much.’
A seed of the world tree in exchange for his help.
He could make this deal ten times a day without feeling tired.
“Sure, but let me make this clear first. If the orcs’ strength exceeds my capabilities, I will only be responsible for protecting your safety. If you have to give up your territory, then give it up.
“But I can also promise you that I will do my best to help you.
“If you can’t hold on to your territory, I can give you some resources to start a new business.”
After he heard these extremely responsible words, [Steamed Bun Lover] quickly calmed down.
He looked at Richard with grat.i.tude.
“Boss Qingqiu, thank you.”
After he said he had no friends, he directly handed the seed of the world tree his hand to him.
Richard took the seed of the world tree from him. He looked at [Steamed Bun Lover] and didn’t mention signing a contract or any other form of protection. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He wasn’t afraid of being cheated…
But since he had promised, he would do it.
It was his bottom line.
A man’s promise weighed a thousand money.
While he held and sensed it for a moment, he could find a very faint trace of vitality in the seed of the world tree.
His heart settled down.
One could only encounter this kind of treasure by chance. And even if it was a seed without vitality, it still had infinite value.
The Black Gold System suddenly lit up with a notification.
[Shriveled Seed of the World Tree]
[Currently withered. 1. Water of life can be used to water it to restore its vitality.]
[Two thousand one hundred points of divinity can be consumed to strengthen its vitality and restore its energy.]
It surprised Richard at first. But after he read it a few times, he was overjoyed.
The value of a withered seed of the world tree was not on the same level as that of an intact one.
The Black Gold System was forever a G.o.d!
He did not know what the elixir of life was, but divinity… Richard turned his head to look at Renee. Her body was still a little illusory.
The other party has four points of divinity, which can be recovered by one point every week.
He had already recovered to full status by the time he left the instance dungeon.
Antic.i.p.ation drowned his heart.
He called for Renee.
“Inject a drop of divinity.”
His voice entered the other party’s ears, but he didn’t give [Steamed Bun Lover] any chance to hear it.
Renee nodded and reached out to take the seed of the world tree. Then, dark energy surged in her body.
Then, she injected it into the seed.
A few minutes later, Renee’s divinity on her attribute panel had already dropped by one point.
At the same time, the divinity required for the seed of the world tree had reached 99 points.
It genuinely worked!
An enormous surprise filled his heart.
It lifted Richard’s spirits.
