Chapter 4

Recalling the complete process of the mission, Lu Yuan said confidently, “I believe you’ll agree, sir.”

“I’d like to hear where your confidence comes from,” the Tree of Life said.

It was very curious about what shocking words this confident Adventurer would say to make it change its mind.

“You despicable Treant, you’re just a despicable failure who wants to get his hands on the Law of Life. I wonder if it’s because you’ve been in this enchantment for too long that your brain has gone numb or something else is going on. You look like a dirty rat in the sewer when you have lost your Universal Love character.” Under the expectant gaze of the Tree of Life, Lu Yuan threw away his poise and started cursing.

“Damn Adventurer, how dare you insult me.” The Tree of Life was a little taken aback. After a while, it started to retaliate.

However, compared to Lu Yuan’s words, the Tree of Life’s counterattack seemed weak and powerless.

“Life is supreme. It’s no wonder that a guy like you can’t get the recognition of Life. If you look at your current appearance, what’s the difference between you and a wild dog hiding in a corner licking its wounds alone? Oh, I was wrong. There’s still a difference. At the very least, the wild dog still understands the value of loyalty, but you’ve broken the Treant Race’s oath.”

Lu Yuan let loose a torrent of abuse. All kinds of words in the tone of the Apocalypse Continent continuously attacked the heart of the Tree of Life.

At the same time, the sound of the system notifications kept ringing in Lu Yuan’s ears.

[Because you insulted the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life’s favorability toward you has decreased.]

[Because you insulted the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life’s favorability toward you has decreased.]

[Because you insulted the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life’s favorability toward you has decreased.]

…

[Your relationship with the Tree of Life has become Hate.]

After hearing that his relationship with the Tree of Life had become Hate, Lu Yuan did not stop. Instead, he continued to hurl all kinds of abuse.

In the Apocalypse Continent, when an NPC’s favorability toward a player reached Hate, it would attack the player.

Meanwhile, the Tree of Life, which could come into contact with the Laws of Life, had long since reached the Extraordinary tier. It was not something a mere level one player like Lu Yuan could resist.

However, Lu Yuan was not worried about these things.

This was because the Tree of Life was completely different from an ordinary NPC.

It was a defeated NPC that had been sealed within this enchantment.

Within this enchantment, it could not attack or even move.

“You… Enough, enough. Stop cursing.” After a long while, as Lu Yuan’s cursing did not stop, the Tree of Life could not take it anymore. It roared with incompetence and fury.

Faced with the Tree of Life’s incompetent rage, Lu Yuan ignored it and continued to curse.

The poor Tree of Life, although it had extremely high intelligence and talent since birth, it did not have any talent in cursing people.

From the moment it was born until now, no one had dared to use these words to insult it.

It did not know what a scolding fight was.

“You despicable Adventurer, I curse you to die a horrible death.” The Tree of Life looked at Lu Yuan with hatred.

After staring at him for a while, it seemed to have compromised and said, “Stop cursing, I’ll agree to your request.”

“Dear Sir Tree of Life, thank you for your kindness. On behalf of the thousands of peach blossom trees in the Peach Blossom Garden, I thank you for your kindness.” Lu Yuan smiled kindly and bowed respectfully.

It was as if he was not the one who had insulted the Tree of Life just now.

“You…” The Tree of Life was a little speechless.

It could not understand how such a person could exist in this world.

“Then I’ll leave first. I believe that Sir Tree of Life is a Treant who respects his oath and has a noble character. You don’t wish for me to come again, right? After all, the directional teleportation scroll is very expensive, it’s worth a whole 500 gold coins,” Lu Yuan said, then turned around and left.

Only when the Tree of Life agreed did he heave a sigh of relief.

Reality proved that the thief who had obtained the inheritance was not lying.

Although this method seemed ridiculous, it was indeed feasible.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan could not help but praise in his heart. There were so many strange people in the world. To think that they could even think of such a strange method.

Lu Yuan had just walked to the front of the teleportation black hole when the surrounding peach blossom trees were already full of peach blossoms. A faint fragrance of peach blossoms lingered around his nose.

Looking at the peach-colored garden, Lu Yuan looked at it longingly once more before turning around and stepping into the teleportation black hole.

…

“You managed to convince the Tree of Life just like that?” At Andre’s home, Andre had a strange expression after listening to Lu Yuan’s description.

After the Peach Blossom Garden had problems blooming, he had gone there once. Naturally, he knew about the existence of the Tree of Life. However, no matter what, the Tree of Life was still an Extraordinary tier creature. If it did not relent, there was nothing he could do.

Andre had left this matter to Lu Yuan to handle. He didn’t have much hope in the first place. It was just a restriction of the rules, so he had to do it this way.

However, he didn’t expect Lu Yuan to be able to actually do it.

Although the method was a little… difficult to put in a nutshell.

“What’s wrong? Uncle Andre, did I do something wrong?” Lu Yuan looked at Andre innocently, but his heart was very calm.

As long as I’m don’t feel awkward, the one who will feel awkward is others.

“You… you did well.” The corner of Andrey’s mouth twitched. At the same time, a system notification sounded.

[Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission. The mission reward is being distributed.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1,500 EXP, 15 gold coins, Klaus’ Pendant, and one chance to choose an inheritance skill.]

As the system notification sounded, five green lights shone on Lu Yuan’s body.

The 1,500 EXP instantly allowed him to level up to level 5.

At the same time, a long page appeared beside Andre.

…

Lu Yuan was dazzled by the series of legendary skills on the page.

Andre was indeed the greatest thief. Just the legendary skills of thieves that he allowed Lu Yuan to choose from numbered at more than a dozen.

Lu Yuan did not dare to take them for granted and read each of them carefully.

Legendary skills were very rare, not to mention in a place like the novice village. This opportunity was very precious.

Lu Yuan must choose a skill that suited him and had potential.

“Uncle Andre, I want to learn this.” After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yuan pointed to one of the skills and said..
