Remote Yue City
Thump thump thump—
In the forest, a boomerang streaks through the air.
It chopped down several crooked trees that were leaning and obstructing the road, then flew in a beautiful arc before returning to Linsey's hand.
Linsey caught the weapon and nodded in satisfaction.
"Great! Use this to chop wood, throw it a few times and you can clear out a whole piece of land!"
Linsey walked alone in the forest.
The current time is January 15th of next year.
More than three months ago, Linsey resolved the issue of the Forest Garden Nursery and headed towards Remote Yue City to continue his journey home.
The city is now not far away.
The boomerang in Linsey's hand was an achievement reward from the Hunting Notes after killing Yulaman Suo Er.
[Weapon: Lumberjack Boomerang]
[A boomerang made entirely of plants, once thrown to its maximum distance, will automatically return to its holder; as it passes through trees, it will cut them down.]
[Jungle Weapon Master - (1/3)]
A boomerang with unique features, reasonably priced.
This is also part of the [Jungle Weapon Master] set.
In fact, Linsey had already completed all the components of this set. Using the [Authority Wood] and other materials gathered from the dungeon, Linsey also crafted another weapon.
[Weapon: Jungle Commander Scepter]
[A scepter crafted entirely from wood, when paid with Essence, can summon a Little Wild Man; the Little Wild Man possesses some botanical knowledge and can take good care of plants.]
[Jungle Weapon Master - (1/3)]
A summoning scepter with unique functions, reasonably priced.
After acquiring all three weapons, the corresponding special attributes will be unlocked.
[Jungle Weapon Master: Significantly reduces the impact of the environment on oneself when fighting in a forest environment.]
This set of attributes is extremely useful in the forest.
After equipping.
Linsey won't be tripped up by random Vines or roots on the road, nor will his vision be obscured by the shade of trees. Even if an enemy is hiding behind a tree, he can still sense their presence.
Even if there were talking trees, he could recognize them at a glance.
However, Linsey's most important find was undoubtedly the "Garden Nursery Fruit" he found in the Garden Enclosure.
[Rare Item/Jewelry: Garden Nursery Fruit]
[After use or equipment, it adds a Source Material Circulation System to the user, mitigating the conflict between the two Essence.]
[A miraculous fruit capable of containing Essence, extremely valuable.]
Just as the Forest Will said when it bid farewell, this thing can resolve the hidden dangers of the Essence conflict.
However, after placing it in the Equipment Slot, Linsey's accessory slots also began to face a crisis.
"It's not enough!"
"Forest Brooch, Emblem of Ice and Fire, Plant Expert's Backpack, Heart of the Beast, Fishing Amulet..."
"Luckily, magic runes don't take up a slot, otherwise how could this be enough?"
Linsey had no choice but to select some accessories to wear on her real body.
Only in this way can you fully enjoy the effects of all the accessories.
In addition, the crafting recipe for the Bloodthirsty Wood Core is quite interesting. Although it can also provide powerful combat weapons, there is one item that has attracted Linsey's desire.
[1 Bloodthirsty Wood Core + 1 High-Grade Silk Thread + 1 Advanced Metal + 1 Special Metal = Blood Sea Fishing Rod]
"Fishing in a Sea of Blood!"
"How utterly depraved must one be to do something like this?"
"Could it be me?"
"Hahaha..."
Linsey chuckled twice and continued on her way along the main road in the forest.
He casually expanded the map's reconnaissance range, and signs of human activity were gradually appearing in the distance.
Thinking this through, Linsey opened her luggage.
The Shining Iron Stone Tree he planted in the backyard of the shop has already borne its first batch of fruit under the care of the Little Wild Man. Linsey used this batch of ore to synthesize a total of three Advanced Metal ingots.
in other words.
Many pieces of equipment that were previously impossible to craft can now be synthesized.
Linsey hasn't made up her mind yet.
"Indestructible Blade can be crafted, as can two Fishing Rod rods, high-strength armor, Gold-Hardened Arrows... Oh, and even this thing!"
[Advanced Metal * 3 = Metal Crest]
The metal elements in the magic pattern system originally required Advanced Metal synthesis to manufacture.
Linsey thought about it seriously.
Weapons of sufficient strength—we have no shortage of them.
Fishing Rod —several of them lay in my bag.
The armor set effect of the highly poisonous plant means that it will not be eliminated immediately.
"Hmm, let's wait a bit longer."
Linsey decided to save the Shining Iron Ingot.
He acted impulsively and made a piece of equipment, so he won't be able to make anything else for a while.
Anyway Shining Iron Stone Tree can yield a batch of fruit every few months.
Once he has a basic reserve of Advanced Metal, he can then indulge his personal hobbies.
Linsey was moving very fast. He saw a cargo wagon ahead on the main road. The driver was a middle-aged man, and there was a child sitting in the basket behind the wagon.
"Dad, how much longer until we see the city?"
"Don't worry, we'll be there before sunset today!"
This is a father and son.
Adhering to the principle of not drawing attention and taking the easy way out.
Linsey slowed down and caught up to greet him, "Hey! Bro, are you guys also going to Remote Yue City? Can you give me a ride?"
The man in the middle glanced at Linsey, who was 'running away' to catch up.
He gazed at the young face beneath the carriage, then quickly slowed the carriage down:
"No problem, young man, come on up."
This place is very close to Remote Yue City.
In the surrounding forest, no one dared to cause trouble, so he naturally didn't mind giving a ride to a passerby.
Linsey then jumped into the carriage and sat in the wagon with the child, while also handing two Silver Coin to the middle-aged man in front.
"Thank you, I appreciate your help."
The middle-aged man accepted the Silver Coin, then asked Linsey, who was covered in forest stains, "Young man, you don't look like a resident of Remote Yue City."
Linsey nodded:
"I've been in the wilderness for the past two months and only recently decided to return to the city."
"And where are you from?"
The middle-aged man replied:
"Nine Bends City."
Linsey paused, then asked:
"Nine Bends City... I heard that it wasn't very peaceful there recently?"
The middle-aged man shook his head with a somber expression, but hope quickly rekindled in his eyes.
"That's right, it was extremely chaotic there before, but it's different now!"
"With Mr. Han Si Ke, the Law Knight, managing the city, everything in Nine Bends City is thriving!"
Linsey smiled inwardly upon hearing the name Han Si Ke.
The fact that the Law Knight he saved could accomplish such a feat made him even more satisfied with the use of his Phoenix Grass than with the use on himself.
Linsey asked curiously, "In that case—you've come to Remote Yue City to buy goods, intending to resell them in Nine Bends City?"
"No, it's for my son." The middle-aged man shook his head in denial, pointing to the child sitting in the carriage basket. "This brat awakened his talent during last year's Source Material Tide. I thought he couldn't just drift through life like me. So I wanted to send him to a more prosperous world to learn skills."
Linsey sighed softly:
"So it was that Source Material Tide."
Hearing the exclamation, the child next to him immediately smiled and said, "I know that!"
"I heard that a great hero named Linsey saved the entire forest from crisis, which gave me the opportunity to become an Awakened One!"
The child seems to be showing off.
Linsey looked at the other person and chuckled, then reached out and ruffled the child's hair:
"They don't necessarily have to be heroes."
"Maybe this Linsey is just a coward who did these things out of desperation."
"Pee-pee—" The child made a face.
He couldn't be bothered with Linsey, so he snorted and turned his head away, no longer speaking to Linsey.
"Hahaha!"
"What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Linsey promptly started teasing the child, which was definitely more enjoyable than teasing mosquitoes and leeches in the forest.
It was afternoon.
More and more people gathered on the road, Linsey and his carriage also joined the main group.
The road ahead widened, the surrounding trees became sparse, and the towering earthen and stone walls began to emerge at the edge of the field of vision.
The middle-aged man driving spoke up to remind him:
"Young man, look ahead!"
We've arrived!
