Chapter 38：Bold Idea

"Parasitic Furball? What is this?" Ye Chen had a strange expression on his face. He had never heard of a Botanist having such a peculiar skill.

There was no requirement for learning the skill, and Ye Chen immediately clicked to learn it.

[System Notice: You have learned the skill "Planting: Parasitic Furballs."

Parasitic Furballs: a unique parasitic plant. It is very rare and does not belong to attack and auxiliary categories of plants. It can be planted on non-living objects. 

According to the rarity of the non-living object, the planted Parasitic Furball can decompose them and synthesize them into corresponding props.]

"Haha, I seem to have gotten my hands on an interesting toy!" Ye Chen looked at the skill attribute of the Parasitic Furballs, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.

This plant was extremely fascinating. It could decompose non-living objects into props. Ye Chen just didn't know what restrictions there were on those non-living objects that can be decomposed. Otherwise, this skill was truly wacky! But obtaining the seeds was a big issue!

Ye Chen looked at the three Parasitic Furball seeds picked up from the Wolf King's corpse, and a bitter smile formed on his face.

The Botanist was deserving of its "self-torturing" title. No matter how powerful the skill was, it would be in vain if there were no seeds. If it weren't for the Wolf King "kindly" dropping three seeds to him, this skill would be useless even if it was more formidable.

"Haha, I love this skill so much!" At this time, the uncontained, jubilated laughter of Purple Olive floated over.

Ye Chen looked over and saw that the shape of the equipment on Purple Olive's body had changed completely. The Priestess's robe, which had initially been densely covering her body, now turned into a sexy Arab costume, exposing her slender legs and flat midriff. Her bewitching countenance was now partially hidden behind a silvery-white veil, which caused this woman who was already incredibly entrancing to become more mysterious and enticing.

Dharma's eyes almost bulged out of his head at this sight.

Ye Chen sighed. He should have known that this "Possession of the Saintess" should not have fallen into this woman's hand. This was simply a disaster in the making.

Possession of the Saintess. Ye Chen had only seen the skill being mentioned a few times in the game forum. The wondrous change in appearance caused by the usage of the skill made it the object of many female Priestess's dreams, and the effect of the skill in itself was not weak. In fact, when used, all Priest-status skill effects are increased by 10%, and their HP and MP were increased by 10%, which made it quite OP!

"It's a pity, though, that it can only be used once per hour and would only last for 5 minutes each time."

Purple Olive regretfully lamented at this time.

"You should already be rejoicing that this skill even popped out. Stop being so greedy." Ye Chen chastised the woman, rolling his eyes.

"Let's head for the central area. The mission magic circle has not been destroyed yet." Not bothering to talk nonsense anymore, Ye Chen took the lead and walked forward.

"Boss, Boss, that Purple Olive is so attractive." Dharma was practically salivating at this time. His drool almost dripped out of his mouth, and he eagerly went to find Ye Chen to share in his excited mood.

"Go and confess to her then."

"No, she would certainly ignore me."

"Isn't that good? It'll stop you from these idle daydreams," Ye Chen curtly said. Wanting to get together with a woman like Purple Olive was a distant dream for a still-tender brat like Dharma. It was better to let his hopes die earlier.

"Boss…"

Ye Chen and Dharma were walking in front, while Purple Olive and Queen of the Night followed behind. The four walk straight towards the broken altar in the central area of ​​the Gray Stone Forest.

After the Stone Wolf King died, the Stone Wolves they met on the road gradually recovered their original appearances. As Ye Chen walked through them, these Stone Wolves ignored Ye Chen.

"Night, look, with the skill of Possession of the Saintess, if we form a combination, the possibility of striking it famous is even greater!" Purple Olive followed closely beside the Queen of the Night, still relentlessly uttering words of persuasion and refusing to give up.

"Mm, yeah it looks good, you look lovely. You will become famous soon." The Queen of the Night looked up and down at Purple Olives and nodded.

"No way! Although this skill will have a temporary effect, it will gradually lose its effectiveness after a while." Purple Olive shook her head. Possession of the Saintess was not a skill unique to her. At first, although going out in the image of Saintess will draw a lot of attention, when the adventurers get used to it, they would not think too much about it. Moreover, Possession of the Saintess could only serve as an icing on the cake. Otherwise, others will definitely criticize her for only looking good due to Possession of the Saintess, which would sharply lower her personal charm.

However, who knew what the Queen of the Night was thinking about? She didn't pay any attention to Purple Olive's complaints, quietly following behind Ye Chen while deep in thought.

The broken stone altar appeared in the vision of several people. Still, the eyes of several people were soon attracted to the enormous azure crystal shining in the center of the altar.

Under the crystal, there was a circular magic array with a radius of two meters. The magic array and the altar overlap. The huge crystal appeared to be the most crucial part of this magic array.

"Boss, if we smash that crystal, then it will be counted as us completing the mission?"

There were no other destructible objects on the magic circle. Even if it was Dharma, he could tell that to destroy the magic circle, one only needed to destroy the crystal.

"Should be." Ye Chen looked up and down, knowing that there was no other possibility.

"Then, I will destroy it immediately and try out the power of the new skill!" Dharma drew his bow, preparing to use the Meteor Arrow Shower that he had just learned but haven't had an opportunity to use.

"Wait a minute!" But Ye Chen looked at the huge crystal, and his eyes flickered suddenly.

This huge crystal had never been mentioned within the game or the forums. If his guesses were correct, this crystal should be the key to clearing this Restricted Regional-Type Mission.

And this azure crystal is obviously an inanimate object. If he were to plant a Parasitic Furball on it, what would happen?

Once this bold idea appeared, a wave of curiosity suddenly swept over Ye Chen.

When playing games, when encountering unknown and possibly exciting events, few people could not resist experimenting. Adding blood to the Boss and not letting the Boss die; this kind of ridiculous notion stemming from over-boredom will also appear.

"Let me try, I want to test out the skill I just learned."

"Boss, do you want to use Parasitic Furballs on this crystal?" Dharma was enlightened at once.

On the way there, Dharma had inquisitively asked about the skill. Ye Chen did not bother hiding it, giving them a brief summary of the Parasitic Furball skill.

"That's right." Ye Chen nodded and walked towards the floating azure crystal.

Purple Olive and the Queen of the Night overheard their conversation and followed them curiously.

No one would be curious as to what props a Parasitic Furball could decompose this huge crystal into.

Parasitic Furballs were not an attacking-type or auxiliary-type plant. That is to say, the Parasitic Furballs will not occupy the limit of the number of plants that the Botanist could plant. Although Ye Chen had planted two Durian Bomb Trees, he could still plant these Parasitic Furballs.

"Parasitic Furball!" Facing the top of the crystal, Ye Chen's staff waved lightly, and a gray-black seed appeared on the crystal!

After a while, this gray-black seed gradually descended into the surface of the crystal. Then shortly afterward, black silk-like tendrils emerged from the bottom of the seed and penetrated into the crystal!

Black tentacles soon appeared on the vast blue crystal body one after another. The light of the whole crystal dimmed considerably once, and cracks seemed to spread across the crystal.

SNAP!

Two black leaf buds sprouted from the top of the seed when a sufficient amount of the black tentacles had spread. In the middle of the leaf buds, a fluffy black grass ball gradually appeared.

The black grass ball was initially just the size of a ping pong ball. Over time, as the light of the crystal grew darker and darker, the black grass ball ballooned up, soon reaching the size of a bowl.

BOOM!

When the black grass ball grew into the size of a football, crisp cracking sounds resonated. The enormous blue crystal block lost its luster and shattered into a pile of gray powder, profusely spilling onto the ground!

At this moment, the magic circle on the ground also quietly disappeared. The black grass ball also fell on the ground from mid-air.
