Chapter 2: No peeing in the Moon Well
When Rhodes received the seeds, they were stained with water.
And he always felt that someone was talking, but his mental strength was too weak to hear clearly.
So.
He didn't bother to care about these details.
He looked at the seeds that were still slightly warm in his hand with joy.
"It actually works."
"Is this Moon Well also a wishing well?"
Rhodes looked up at the black sky mixed with emerald, and then looked at the Moon Well in front of him that had already dried up.
Although the name has the word "well", it is actually only one or two meters deep, and it looks more like a large bathing pool.
Yeah.
The bathing pool of the Moon God.
Rhodes nodded in agreement.
He had prayed so many times before, but the goddess didn't respond. He thought he was not pious enough.
Now I know.
The Moon God is actually a man!
It turns out that he got the gender wrong at the beginning, no wonder he didn't get a response.
Of course.
Rhodes would not be stupid enough to tell such an ugly thing.
"It's a pity that there is only one seed. This Moon God is too stingy."
After secretly complaining, Rhodes happily took the seed to the edge of the altar and began to try to plant it.
He didn't know what kind of seed it was, but since it was obtained through prayer, it must be of an extraordinary identity and might improve his current situation.
After checking around, he found that the land near the edge of the altar was the least polluted, and even if he stepped on it, it could hold up for a while.
And with the influx of vitality, the black color of the land he stepped on would slowly fade and turn back to the original yellow soil.
This made Rhodes draw a conclusion.
As long as enough vitality is devoured, the pollution of the dream forest will be reduced or even disappear, and then he can leave here!
This is definitely the biggest good news so far.
It also made Rhodes very excited.
After moving the short plant body for a while, he finally dug a hole at the edge of the altar and buried the seed.
Then he took a step back, and the magic gathered in the palm of the dead branch. Under the guidance of the cultivation magic, it turned into a green breath full of vitality, which continuously merged into the ground.
[Cultivation successful, experience +1]
[Experience: 1/10]
Suddenly, a prompt message popped up.
The character experience on the panel increased by 1 point.
Rhodes was pleasantly surprised. If you can gain experience by cultivating plants, then you can level up without going out.
This gardener profession does not seem as bad as he imagined, which makes him work harder.
As his magic power is injected, the black on the land gradually fades, as if making room for the seeds that are about to grow.
However, just when Rhodes wanted to make the seeds germinate in one go, a strong sense of dizziness suddenly hit, instantly interrupting his magic infusion.
Damn!
No mana!
Rhodes, who has played various games, didn't know what was going on, and his already dark face became even darker.
However.
This also made him sure of one thing.
That is, his guess was right.
As long as enough things are planted, the dream forest will be revitalized!
"It seems that I have to level up quickly."
With Rhode's current level 1, it is difficult to cast a primary magic, let alone large-scale planting.
But the problem is.
This place doesn't look like a place where you can fight monsters and level up.
And he is a gardener and a tree elf. If he really encounters a monster or a demon, it is not certain who will beat whom. Don't send food to others at that time.
"It's better to farm honestly..." Rhode immediately gave up the idea of going out.
After he stopped being a human.
He has a much weaker concept of time.
And the lifespan of natural creatures is generally very long. He is still a baby now, and he has plenty of time to squander.
Grow it for a few years first, and I don't believe that the seeds will not sprout.
With this momentum, Rhode continued to cast spells on the land. When he ran out of mana, he rested to recover, and cast again after recovery.
In this way, irrigating again and again, experience information kept popping up in front of him.
Finally, when night fell, a small green sprout broke out of the soil.
[Planting successful, experience +2]
[Professional level upgrade, lv1→lv2]
Swish!
The whole body was enveloped by a fluorescent green glow.
Rhode's fatigue was swept away, and the bark on his body seemed to be tougher.
[Magic Tree Spirit lv2]
[Profession: Gardener]
[Experience: 1/20]
[Ordinary magic: None]
[Professional magic: Cultivation]
Beyond Rhode's expectations.
The experience gained from successful germination was twice that of casting cultivation, which directly allowed him to reach the maximum experience value and upgrade to level 2.
In an instant, he felt that his mind was much clearer, and the magic power reserves in his body were more abundant.
The most important thing was.
His magic power recovery speed also became a little faster.
This is a series of benefits brought by the level upgrade.
Tightening his somewhat stiff arms, Rhode suddenly had the motivation to move forward and was more motivated.
But before that, he had to "ask" the Moon God for a few more seeds, otherwise the experience gain from just one seedling would be too slow.
"It's a pity that the connection is too weak. I can only pray for one seed at a time. It would be better if I could pray for more." Rhodes thought greedily.
Then, he used the dead branches from his companions' bodies to make a simple fence for the seedlings, and came to the Moon Well again.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Rhodes' gaze fell on the center of the Moon Well.
In the originally dry pit, a small puddle suddenly formed, exuding a strong breath of life.
Just taking a breath made him feel comfortable all over.
Could this be...
The legendary Moon Fountain?
Rhodes' eyes widened.
With many years of experience in similar games, he immediately guessed the identity of the thing.
It is the spring water of the moon that is condensed by faith!
Is it because of his sincere prayer today?
Moon God V5!
Although it was the first time to see it, Rhodes intuitively told him that this Moon Spring water was definitely something extraordinary.
He quickly picked off the leaves from his head, squatted down and carefully scooped up a ladle of spring water, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly poured it into his mouth.
In an instant, a warm current surged through my body.
The originally empty magic power was restored at a speed that was noticeable to the naked eye, and nearly half of the branches and leaves on his head that were dead and yellow also turned green again, full of vitality.
This effect is simply stronger than Wei X!
Fortunately, I didn't pee in it today...
Feeling the changes in his body, Rhodes was overjoyed.
If he really peed today, he would not be able to ask for any water from the Moon Well, and this kind of thing must be strictly prohibited from happening in the future!
All I can say is that the water from the Moon Spring came just in time.
Because he has clearly felt that there is not much life left in his body, and if he continues to stay here, he may not be able to last a few days.
When the time comes, he will become a pile of dead branches and rotten wood like others of his kind.
"Try it and see if it works on the seedlings."
Soon Rhode had a new idea, scooped up a ladle of spring water again, and hurried to the location of the new seedlings.
However.
He still overestimated the flexibility of his body.
As soon as he turned around, his feet stumbled, and the spring water in the leaves flew out with its tail.
"Hey~ Damn it!"
There was no time to stop it.
Rhodes could only watch as the spring water flew out, landed on the corpse of a similar dryad in the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The next moment.
Something strange happened.
The corpse that was supposed to have been dead for many years was actually reborn at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The dry outer layer of the skin peeled off, and a short figure climbed up tremblingly from the corpse like a broken shell.
Alive... alive?
Rhodes hurried over and looked at the little thing with a head like a wooden water cup and a body and limbs like him, and reached out to poke it.
The newly resurrected little thing also opened its big watery eyes, looking confusedly at the fellow member of the same race who was much taller than him and the terrifying black lines on his body.
Then.
Turn around and run.
"...Eh?"
"Why are you running!"
Rhodes was stunned and quickly chased after him.
But who would have thought that when he saw him chasing after him, the little thing's eyes were full of fear, he made a piercing sound, and his short legs ran faster.
Rhodes looked confused. He had no idea why the other party was so afraid of him. Is it because he was taller and darker?
What about the same race you promised?
Did we agree to protect the forest together?
After finally finding a living creature, Rhodes would not let it go and speed up his pace.
But after running a few steps, his expression changed.
"Stop! Don't come outside!"
