Reaping What One Has Sown

"Reze, how's things going on your end?"

"..."

"The effects of the Organizer's Craft have dissipated!" a voice came from a tree-lined path high above. The explorer looked up and shouted back, "Everyone's mostly alright!"

The explorers paid no attention to the sudden Source Material Tide.

He was waking up his fallen comrades one by one.

Even if, unlike those who possess the Life Source Material, having their power drained means death.

However, if he remains in a coma and maintains this state, it is not a good thing either.

"Call--"

Linsey breathed a sigh of relief as she walked along the tree-lined path.

Before him was a withering, vibrant green seedling.

A few minutes earlier, when Linsey went to the core tower, he happened to see Reze and his group below, and thus noticed the changes that had happened to these adventurers.

— Mu Le Na Hu En is drawing strength from these people.

The purpose of this behavior must be that the organizers are trying to gain access to the core tower.

To travel thousands of meters to stop them is nothing short of a pipe dream.

In desperation, Linsey came up with a solution.

He activated the [Garden Nursery Management Seed], using this privilege to feed the power of the Garden Enclosure back to the entire world, nourishing all living things.

In this way.

Even if someone reaches the core, they cannot trigger a greater disaster by extracting the power of the Garden Enclosure.

At this moment, I feel the surging waves of Essence around me.

Linsey closed her eyes slightly.

This was the first time he had experienced the Source Material Tide since becoming an Awakened.

The dark clouds in the sky had long been blown away by that powerful force, and the warm sunlight shone down from above, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

The world itself.

He seemed to be celebrating this moment with Linsey.

It was at this moment that Linsey noticed the changes on the Attribute Panel.

[Jungle Adventure IV] is displayed as completed.

"..."

"I thought we were going to fail."

Linsey shook her head slightly.

The mission objective of [Jungle Adventure IV] is to protect the forest from thieves and end the suffering inflicted on nature.

His methods squandered the Garden Enclosure's resources.

But it did indeed fulfill the requirements of the task assignment.

"Mu Le Na Hu En, Kuit ..."

Linsey murmured the names of the other two people in the Garden Enclosure.

He was unable to determine the condition of the two awakened individuals.

However, based on the changes in the Task Bar, it appears that the crisis in the forest has indeed come to an end, and there has been no further mention of "[Jungle Adventure V]".

"Speaking of which, this is also the first time I've completed a quest chain."

Linsey receives her award.

[Disposable consumables - Decoration: Garden]

[After use, the residential garden will be renovated to meet the planting needs of most plants.]

[Simple and easy-to-use disposable renovation items, with relatively high value.]

[Jewelry/Materials: Professional Prospector's Pointer]

[After equipping, the user consumes Essence, and the pointer will provide information on the location of valuable minerals in the surrounding area; it can also be used as material to craft other items.]

[A rare reconnaissance item, reasonably priced.]

Two types of rewards.

[The Professional Prospector's Pointer] Needless to say, it is also one of the sub-items in the Exploration series.

As for this "garden"... Linsey immediately found it useful.

Once you find a convenient spot to set up your shop, you can also upgrade the garden in your backyard where you grow plants.

"Lord Di Ya Bo Luo!"

Just then, an excited voice came from behind Linsey.

He turned his head and saw Ka Ji trembling like a bat, his eyes filled with immense excitement as he looked at Linsey! "The Source Material Tide! This is the Source Material Tide!"

"What did you just do? How could such a miracle happen?"

Ka Ji's voice trembled.

If this could be replicated, it would have an unparalleled and enormous impact on the entire universe!

"I... I've never heard of such a thing in the world!"

"The Source Material Tide only occurs once every 10 years Harvest Day, and there has never been an exception!"

"..."

"This Non-Self achievement, but merely the result of the Garden Enclosure's power being released."

Linsey shook her head slightly and pointed to the central tower in front of her.

"Let's go."

"Our matter seems to be over, but we need to see the real ending with our own eyes before we can be at ease."

As soon as she finished speaking, Linsey walked towards the central tower.

Seeing this, Ka Ji quickly followed.

After their conversation ended, Reze below noticed Linsey moving again.

The explorer was unaware of what was happening in the Garden Enclosure. At this moment, he woke up many of his companions, but he was worried about Linsey.

Reze instructed the female doctor Mira to take care of everyone, and then he ran after them.

The forest has returned to calm.

The Garden Enclosure remained completely still, standing quietly as if it had been for thousands of years.

After Reze caught up, the three of them followed the tree path uphill, and it took them quite a while to reach the gate of the core of the Garden Enclosure.

"This is... Kuit?"

"How did he end up lying here, and unconscious?"

The three went forward to investigate.

Immediately noticing the wealthy merchant's weakened state, Linsey even confirmed more information through clues. "All the money on him has been taken."

Reze frowned and said, "A merchant without money is just a guy whose Constitution is only slightly stronger than an average person, isn't he?"

Linsey reminded him, "Reze, don't forget how things in the forest started."

"There's no way to gloss over this now. If an explanation is needed, it has to be this guy."

"Hey--"

Reze chuckled and shook his head.

Linsey was right, this guy really was just a figurehead.

So he bent down and lifted the unconscious Kuit onto his back.

"Where is Mu Le Na Hu En forcibly extracting Essence just now?"

There was no sign of the organizers anywhere.

Linsey then looked at Ka Ji: "Ka Ji, can you detect his presence?"

The perceiver closed his eyes and concentrated, but there was no one around.

The power of the eruption of the Essence had torn Mu Le Na Hu En to pieces, and his scent in the air had been blown away completely.

"No, Lord Di Ya Bo Luo, I can't find him."

"..."

Call me Linsey.

Linsey suddenly spoke up, correcting Ka Ji's way of addressing her.

The scene before him confirmed that his business in the Courtyard in the Forest was over, and he said to the sensory guide who had been with him all the way, "It's all over here."

"Ka Ji, it's time for us to part ways."

"..."

The perceiver suddenly froze.

He knew that his following the man in front of him was merely a matter of chance, and he even felt some resistance towards it.

But now it's time to say goodbye.

Looking back on everything that happened in that short day, it was an adventure that defies description.

Ka Ji felt neither disappointment at losing contact with important figures nor relief at escaping their clutches; instead, he felt a sense of indescribable melancholy.

"Mr. Linsey?"

The Perceiver failed to keep up with Linsey's pace this time.

He watched Linsey walk away and asked from afar, "Where do you plan to go next?"

"Where am I planning to go..." Linsey thought for a moment, then replied, "I'm going to find a fruit here, and then... maybe I'll go fishing while I'm at it?"
