Chapter 123
===================
There was a pile of papers scattered on the bed. Lian Yun stood up from the pile of papers, yawning and stretching.
She rubbed her eyes, picked up a piece of paper with hazy eyes, squinted her eyes in the early morning sunlight and read two lines before she remembered what happened last night.
I don't know who wrote the training report, but the content is lively and interesting. For example, during crawl training, someone got down too quickly, and the molten crystal in their pocket flew out and hit the person in front of them on the head; or during a break in training, someone wolfed down meat and got a stone stuck in their tooth, earning a round of laughter from the people next to them.
There is a note at the end - (the above two things happened to the same two people).
Just some interesting and funny little things.
But there are also many serious things to do.
The content and level of daily training, knowledge learned and its application...
Rigorous and meticulous.
It can almost be seen from the text that the author must be a person with extreme control over words.
Lian Yun did not have this impression of the original people in the town. He must be one of the reserve residents.
After breakfast, Lian Yun came to the altar. This time, the altar was already full of people. The residents had been looking forward to this day for many days, and there were also indigenous people who wanted to witness this historic moment.
Seeing Lian Yun, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down and made way for Lian Yun in an instant.
Lian Yun stood in the center of the altar: "We can begin now."
The prospective residents were very excited, but they did not forget to line up in an orderly manner and walk up to the altar in the order arranged beforehand.
Lian Yun looked at the prompt box in front of him——
[Received an application from a resident of "Rolda": After several days of training, I have a better understanding of Bubu Town. It is not just an ordinary town that is just starting to get better, but also a town full of hope...]
Lian Yun: “……?”
Resident, your painting style is a bit strange!
Perhaps sensing the strange gaze from the lord who held the final say, Rolda swallowed uncontrollably.
Lian Yun retracted his gaze and noticed that the resident application had suddenly started to go off track: [My God, why are you looking at me like that? Did I read the script wrong? Ahem, let me try again.]
I think I am suitable to live in Bubu Town for the following four reasons...
Lian Yun: “!?”
How can he start a new line!
And onomatopoeia?
Lian Yun closed the prompt box and waved his hand with a strange look on his face: "Please stop for a moment and let the people behind you go first."
Rolda walked down the altar tremblingly and watched the people behind her walk up.
The lord touched his chin with one hand, looked seriously into the air—reached out—and tapped the left side.
The lord nodded.
The Lord looked at him and nodded again: "You, try again."
[Application from a resident of "Rolda": I, I think I can be mayor... No! I can be an excellent resident!]
Lian Yun understood.
Rolda has a lot of inner drama, and he can control the content of his inner thoughts that are read.
Although he is not proficient in using it yet, he is a talented person with great potential.
...After all, not everyone can control what they think.
Lian Yun finally smiled: "Congratulations, you have become a part of the town."
Rolda's heart finally settled down, and he bowed to Lian Yun excitedly: "Thank you, sir!"
[Your Excellency probably hasn't noticed that I want to be the mayor]
Come to an abrupt end.
Lian Yun looked back and saw that he had just left the altar.
…
The subsequent resident applications were all very simple and normal, with traceable statements such as wanting to find a challenging job, fulfill one's dreams, and wanting a shelter.
No problem, Lian Yun passed it.
Until the last application—[Application from a resident of "Jinjia": I want to live in this small town. There's a lot of creative material here, and the people are interesting... There are also succubi, orcs, and magicians, all very interesting.]
Lian Yun looked at the gentle man and asked, "Your name is Jin Jia?"
Jinga nodded and gave an equally elegant smile, "Yes, my lord."
"Did you write the training log?"
"My lord, you have a discerning eye."
Lian Yun curled the corners of his lips and clicked "pass".
Without waiting for Lian Yun to speak, Jin Jia had already figured out Lian Yun's set of procedures and smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, sir."
The last resident's application was approved, and a red exclamation mark appeared at Lian Yun's task icon.
Lian Yun didn't open it immediately. She looked around, frowning slightly: "Where are Iko and Hera?"
She reminded me again last night.
Lian Yun watched Gerry approach, and lowered his voice with a serious expression: "Yi Ke said that they don't plan to apply to become residents."
This is the message that Yi Ke just asked someone to pass on.
What are you doing?
Isn't he the one who most wants to get involved?
He is the most active in everything he does on weekdays, and even resorts to means to make Buck sick in order to find out the situation.
Everyone has been keeping the Buck incident in mind, and Lian Yun has also decided to ask Yi Ke what he thinks today.
But unexpectedly, he didn't come.
"Don't you want to? Or do you dare not?" There was a gleam of speculation in Gerry's vicissitudes of life eyes.
Lian Yun shook his head.
Since even Rolda knew that today's ceremony was the most important step and required exploring people's hearts.
Yi Ke must know this.
But if he doesn't dare to come...
What is the point of all these days of performance?
Lana's gaze slowly shifted away from Lian Yun and looked towards the small stone house.
After spending so many days together, he could see that Ike was a meticulous and meticulous person. He even keenly realized that even the fact that they knew Buck was sick was a deliberate reveal by Ike.
He was here for this day.
And he must have made some preparations for this ceremony.
Why are you suddenly willing to give up all your previous efforts?
The man who had just delivered the message had not yet left, so Lanna asked him, "Is Yiko still here?"
The man nodded: "Hera is still recovering, he has been with her."
Lanna looked at the girl and said, "My Lord, I will go and take a look."
Lian Yun nodded: "Go ahead...don't argue."
Gary said quickly, "I'm going too."
Lana and Yi Ke have never gotten along. Lian Yun is relieved, but he is not comfortable letting them meet alone.
After watching the two leave, Lian Yun returned to his own residence.
She walked into the bedroom and threw herself on her big bed, and finally she could breathe a sigh of relief.
After a short break, Lian Yun opened the task icon, and a long list of prompt boxes immediately filled the entire screen, making Lian Yun dizzy.
[Crowded Town (Part 3) (Completed): Congratulations on the new residents of your town! I'm glad your lordship is finally on the right track. This side quest will be integrated into the main quest along with the other side quests. Let's welcome the arrival of new quests together!]
【Task rewards have been issued.】
Further down is the new main task:
Main Quest - Comprehensive Land Improvement! - Your Excellency must have noticed the barren land covering this continent. It has been ravaged by various factors, both overt and covert. If you can make some efforts to improve the health of this land, you will surely be grateful to the land!
Lian Yun temporarily closed the task panel.
After the last conversation with the Tree of Life, Lian Yun understood that these tasks were guidelines under the system's intelligent mode. It knew better than Lian Yun himself what Lian Yun should do next.
This time, the main task of the multi-line convergence seems to be the same.
All she had to worry about when it was her turn was how to do it.
The reward for this mission was still not explained. She skillfully opened the skill page and found that the gray font was lit up again - [Land Improvement].
[Land Improvement - Sacrifice a special-grade parsnip to transfer the land improvement ability to other plants with a 50% chance (this ability is heritable and decreases with the number of generations).]
It is a skill that is consistent with the main quest, and the system has always been like this.
Now there are two special-grade parsnips. Lian Yun plans to save up his luck and wait for a sunny day to randomly select a lucky parsnips to try out its skills.
Before leaving the Elf Forest, she and the Elf Queen quietly went to find the Tree of Life. After witnessing its gradual decline, they picked a seed from the thick branch next to the trunk.
Lian Yun followed the system's instructions in the previous conversation and used the [Copy Seed] skill on the seed.
After successfully copying the seed into two, the Elf Queen placed the original seed in the center of the tree top.
In an instant, the tree of life grew wildly like a dead tree coming back to life in spring.
In a short moment, it returned to its lush appearance as when Lian Yun first saw it.
This is the empty shell of a stable elf, which contains a small amount of energy from the system.
And the other seed that truly serves as the new carrier of the system...
Lian Yun silently opened his backpack and spread out his palms.
The tree lying quietly on the left hand, which seems to be flowing with green water, is the carrier tree species of the Tree of Life. Lian Yun tried to talk to it when he was free these two days, but got no response.
On the palm of her right hand was a drop of water given to her by the giant guardian beast.
It was a very small one, with a soft but impenetrable shell, and a light blue color, but you couldn't see inside.
I don't know what use it is.
But Lian Yun thought about it and realized that the time in the backpack was still, so maybe that had some impact on it?
In short, Lian Yun didn't dare to do anything to this unknown thing, but he could find a warm and humid place to preserve it, like in the Elf Forest.
Warm and humid...
In her world, farmers build sheds so they can grow vegetables during the winter.
The shed has only one wall and two sections of fan-shaped low walls, and the rest are covered with plastic film, which allows light to enter during the day and the temperature inside the shed will be very high; before night falls, they must be covered with thick blankets to prevent the temperature from dropping suddenly.
But here, Lian Yun had never seen plastic before.
Even in his own world, plastic is a product of modern industry.
"Sister! What are you doing alone?" Lina poked her little head out of the door, met Lian Yun's gaze, and blinked.
"Are you thinking about Hera and Iko?"
The little girl pretended to ask the question casually and walked around the room, but she unconsciously glanced at Lian Yun's expression several times.
Lian Yun looked at her amusedly: "Don't worry, I won't be angry."
In fact, she hadn't really decided whether to let Iko and Hera live in the town.
The identities of these two people are undoubtedly questionable, and no one in the town wants to let a wolf into the house.
"Then... does Hera still have a chance to become a resident?" Seeing that she was really not angry, Lina approached Lian Yun affectionately and leaned against her arm.
"Hera really wants to stay. She's told me so many times in private! And she's a very nice person! She even helps out when Mr. Joel is teaching magic!"
Although she looks arrogant and spoiled, she is not a bad person at heart.
The little girl pouted and said, "It's all Yi Ke's fault. He wouldn't let me. Sister, why don't you tell me why he wouldn't let me?"
Lian Yun lowered his eyes.
Who knows.
Guilty conscience? Or a change of heart?
She pulled the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but reached out and pinched Lina's little face.
"When Hera gets better, she won't have to listen to her brother if she wants."
"Is Hera the type to be tripped up by her brother?"
Lina shook her head.
"That's right, but you shouldn't influence her thinking just because you want her to stay." Lian Yun warned softly.
"Yeah!" Lina tilted her head and rested it on Lian Yun's shoulder.
"...Sister, what's that in your hand?"
She had seen that drop of water on the day Lian Yun received it.
She was asking about the seed.
Lian Yun thought about it and did not hide it from her. He told Lina that what was inside was the core of the Tree of Life.
But as for the existence of the system, it is too complicated to explain.
Lina covered her mouth and even her voice became smaller: "So, the Tree of Life was taken home by us?!"
"Not entirely," Lian Yun decided to whitewash this fact to avoid giving Lina a negative impression. "I only brought things that can help us. The Tree of Life is still in the Elf Forest. We even took a look at it before we left. Did you forget?"
Well, it's okay for her to say that, right?
Lina was almost confused and could only nod confusedly: "Then... where should we plant it? How about at the door?"
The little girl quickly shifted her focus, shaking Lian Yun's arm and begging, "I went to Nora and Fiona's house today, and they both have plants! Only ours doesn't!"
At the door... ?
There is a large open space in front of the door of this house. It is indeed bare and not very nice.
It doesn’t seem to be impossible.
After receiving Lian Yun's affirmation, Lina's eyes curved into crescents and she took the seeds with a smile: "I will ask Meili later how to grow it well! Don't worry, sister."
"Of course I'm relieved." Lian Yun smiled and was about to take back the water droplets in his right hand when he suddenly remembered something.
“Lina, didn’t you say there’s a kind of sand under the snow-capped mountains?”
Lina didn't understand, but she recalled it and nodded: "Yes, it is white, very different from the sand here."
Lian Yun's stagnant thoughts suddenly became clear.
If you don't have plastic, but you have quartz sand, you can make glass.
Lian Yun had seen porcelain and pottery in this world, which meant that furnaces and cellars existed in this world. So as long as the raw materials were prepared, making glass should not be a problem.
However, Lian Yun only had a brief look at the required raw materials in the book, and the residents still needed to go to the library to look up the real specific things.
"Glass?" A question mark appeared in Lina's mind.
"It's the material of medicine bottles." Lian Yun took out a bottle from his bag.
The little girl understood immediately, her eyes sparkling with joy: "It's transparent, so it should be able to be used for many things!"
"...If only Luo were here, he would understand those books immediately and could create anything."
Lina's excited tone gradually subsided, she turned over, held her chin and sighed.
"When will Luo be able to come back?"
Lian Yun smiled and said nothing more.
Lina stayed alone for a while, and found that her sister was in a daze again, so she went out on her own.
Lian Yun continued to look at the task panel.
[Racial Conflict (I) (Completed): The Master has successfully unlocked Lina's identity and successfully connected the Orcs and Elves. This is a good start! The next conflict...]
[Mission Rewards - Store Upgrade (Already Issued)]
Racial Conflict (II): As long as the internal unrest is not quelled, the continent's peace will be delayed. All this requires your conquest, Lord—ending war with war is the only way to achieve success.
[In order to ensure the smooth progress of your mission and to gain a deeper understanding of the enemy, the system has expended considerable energy to upgrade the store and specially create a virtual space for you. Welcome, sir!]
