Hearing the words of the Wood Spirit girl, Mo Xiao was slightly taken aback.

He opened his personal panel.

However, the debuff of the Wood Clan’s resentment was still there on his panel.

“The debuff hasn’t disappeared... Could it be because of this talent?”

Mo Xiao muttered to himself, shifting his gaze to the newly acquired talent.

Wood Spirit’s Heart: All creatures in the Wood Secret Realm will treat the owner kindly.

“Perhaps it’s because at first, you treated me as an intruder,” Mo Xiao said awkwardly.

The Wood Spirit girl pondered for a moment, apparently not fully understanding. “Maybe, well, it doesn’t matter.

“Thank you for saving me. My name is Tao Yaoyao, a member of the Wood Spirit clan in the Wood Secret Realm,” Tao Yaoyao said gratefully.

“Tao Yaoyao? Your name is so adorable!” Jiang He quickly chimed in, “What happened just now? Why were you captured by that monster?”

Tao Yaoyao’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, obviously still frightened by what had happened. “The flower just now was called the Wood Demon Flower, and it’s the king of the Wood Demon Flower species.

“The Wood Demon Flower King is the guardian of our Wood Spirit clan. Most of the Wood Spirit clan’s professions are support-based, and we lack direct combat capabilities, so we rely on a symbiotic relationship with the Wood Demon Flower species.

“I don’t know what happened today; it suddenly attacked me.” Tao Yao Yao continued, then suddenly looked at Mo Xiao and asked, “Respected adventurer, can you help me find out the reason for the Wood Demon Flower species going berserk?”

[Ding, the Wood Spirit girl has issued a chain mission to you. Wood Demon Flower Rampage, will you accept?]

Listening to the sudden system prompt in their minds, both Mo Xiao and Jiang He were stunned.

A mission?

They didn’t know that this game world would have such a thing.

Apart from the missions that might be issued by the heavens during profession changes, they hadn’t heard of any other missions.

After all, this was the real world, even if it merged with the game world, it was still reality.

Based on the logic of playing games before, the experience and rewards from missions indeed exceeded grinding monsters.

But in the real world, receiving experience and rewards for completing missions was just too magical, wasn’t it?

“Accepted.”

Although they didn’t know what was going on, since the system prompt had appeared, it must be true.

“That’s great! Thank you so much!” Tao Yaoyao became excited as Mo Xiao accepted the mission. “Here’s the plan: first, you help me go to the territory of the Wood Demon Flower and kill two berserk Wood Demon Flowers. Bring back their seeds, about 10 of them will do.”

[Mission updated!]

[Wood Demon Flower Rampage: The guardian of the Wood Spirit clan, the Wood Demon Flower, has gone berserk for unimown reasons. Please hunt down 10 Wood Demon Flowers and obtain their unusual seeds to give to Tao Yaoyao. Current progress: o/io. Reward: Unknown.]

Mo Xiao looked at the information on the panel, and his eyes twitched slightly.

This has really turned into an online game, hasn’t it?

“Oh, by the way, speaking of seeds, can you see if these two items are useful?” Mo Xiao took out two dropped items from his backpack.

[Wood Demon Flower King’s Core: Power core from the Wood Demon Flower King, unknown function.]

[Wood Demon Flower King’s Seed: Seed from the Wood Demon Flower King. It seems to be able to grow into a new Wood Demon Flower King.]

“What are these...” Looking at the items Mo Xiao held, Tao Yaoyao was also taken aback.

“Take a look at what the Wood Demon Flower King dropped just now. Is it useful?”

“Those were the drops from the Wood Demon Flower King just now. Can you see if they are useful?” Since she was an NPC that they could communicate with, Mo Xiao naturally showed her these items they didn’t understand.

Tao Yaoyao took the two items and her expression gradually became serious. “These are demonized seeds! Impossible! How could there be evil energy in the Wood Secret Realm!”

Looking at Tao Yaoyao’s expression, Mo Xiao smiled calmly. It seemed that he successfully triggered a new mission.

“Tao Yaoyao, is the corruption severe?” Jiang He didn’t know what Mo Xiao was thinking and asked with some concern.

Tao Yaoyao shook her head and said, “I’m not sure either. I have to go back and ask my grandfather. Anyway, you go to the territory of the Wood Demon Flower first. Kill all the demonized Wood Demon Flowers and bring back their seeds. We need to study them.”

“Okay.” Mo Xiao didn’t refuse. After all, an upgraded mission was good for them.

[Mission updated!]

[Demonized Wood Demon Flowers: The guardian of the Wood Spirit clan, the Wood Demon Flower, has been corrupted for unknown reasons. Please kill all demonized Wood Demon Flowers and bring back their seeds to the Wood Spirit clan. Current progress: 0/50. Reward: Unknown.]

“Thank you. I’ll leave now. If you follow this path, you’ll reach the Wood Spirit clan. Goodbye.” Tao Yaoyao waved and left.

Seeing her disappear into the distance, Mo Xiao immediately used a detection technique on her.

Introduction: A young girl from the Wood Spirit Clan. She seems to be the granddaughter of the chief of the Wood Spirit Clan and has extremely powerful vitality.

“I didn’t expect there to be NPCs here...” Mo Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully after Tao Yaoyao was gone.

Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao’s expression and felt a bit resentful. “She’s already gone far away; stop staring.

“You... Do you really like this type of girl?” Jiang He paused for a moment and asked somewhat indignantly.

Hearing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you use the detection technique? She seems to be an NPC.”

“All? An NPC?” Jiang He was stunned to hear this. “Can there really be NPCs in this world?”

“Well, that makes sense. If they aren’t NPCs, the humans in this secret realm can’t possibly be from another world, right?” Mo Xiao sighed. “Let’s go; we’ve accepted the mission, so let’s complete it.”

“Okay, let me help this time too. You’ve been doing everything so far, and 1 feel bad,” Jiang He said seriously. no/Velusb/C)o(M

Mo Xiao glanced at Jiang He and said, “Sure, let’s split up and act, as long as we don’t go too far, we’ll still share the experience.”

Jiang He fell silent for a while upon hearing this but eventually nodded.

“Leveling is all about efficiency, and the college entrance examination is coming soon. We don’t have much spare time to waste. Let’s go.” Mo Xiao took big strides and headed towards the mission location indicated on the map.

Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao’s departing figure with a slightly resentful expression, but what Mo Xiao said was true. She couldn’t say anything and could only follow him quietly, heading towards the mission location..
