"I'm not willing...I don't believe that death will be the end...I don't accept that the soul cannot be rekindled..."

After a confusing recitation, the spell fox in the soul fire came to his senses. It first stared at Yuchen and the other two with resentful eyes, but gradually felt relieved in a sigh.

"I know you want to get some important news from me, but I will not betray the gardener because he is the real owner of this forest and this manor. However, I cannot stop you from exploring the truth, so you can go to the cottage to find the answers. The gardener left something there for me to take care of, but I cannot even protect my own life."

As the bitter words fell, the soul fire of the cursed fox suddenly disappeared, and an iron-shaped thing fell to the ground after the soul fire burned out.

...

[Skill plug-in enhanced chip] (exclusive)

Type: Special items

Function: Make the attack/defense level not exceeding the "general" skill plug-in, and increase the level by one

Introduction: This is a hidden product from the "Bone Dog Store", but was stolen by a curse fox by chance. Any player who buys skill plug-ins from the shepherd boy can use the enhancement chip to improve it, so that a skill can be transformed.

[Tip: This item is an exclusive item, and can only be used by players with "skill plug-in"]

[Tip: This item cannot be brought out of this assessment space.]

...

The unexpected drop made Yu Chen and the Sword Immortal look at each other.

"Is this a waste of work?"

It was not the Sword Immortal's face that was indescribable disappointment: "Our players can only buy plant partners, and the opposite is a skill plug-in. I said, how do those two Thunderbolts have skills? So that's how it comes from! How should we deal with this thing?"

"Save it for now, maybe it can come in handy." Yuchen put away the chip, "But this reminds me that since there are enhanced chips for skill plug-ins, there may be improvement props for plant partners."

It wasn't the sword fairy's eyes lit up: "You mean... your level 3 pea shooter still has room for improvement?"

"I hope so, but let's go into the house first."

Yuchen shook his head and raised his hand to push it. The door of the gardener's hut opened with a "creak".

The dark environment of the dark curtain forest made the light in the house even more dizzy. It was not that the sword immortal put his head in the door and looked at it. There was only a large area of ​​black in his sight. The air was so thick that it even reached the point of curbing breathing. It was not until the embers pulled their shoulders aside that he realized that the concentration of the dark curtain in the gardener's hut had reached an extremely terrifying level.

The rolling black smoke surged out of the door, and it took a while to slow down.

At this time, the Sword Immortal looked at it again and saw a formation in the room.

Several cores on the formation were all placed with broken tree hearts. As the formation continued to operate, dark curtains continued to surge into the range of the formation, and then gathered in the hut and could not dissipate. Until the curse fox died and the door opened, breaking the gathering effect of the formation, which allowed a large number of dark curtains to leak out, but the operation of the formation was not interrupted.

[Tip: You have successfully opened the gardener's hut and found the spell array that gathered the dark curtain. After destroying it, you can complete the first ring of the main task "Looking for Gardener".]

The emergence of the prompt made Yu Chen and the Sword Immortal immediately start to destroy the magic circle. After demolishing all the broken tree hearts, the magic circle lost its energy source and collapsed on its own instantly. Yu Chen and the others also heard a very excited game prompt.

[Tip: You have completed the first step of the main task "Looking for Gardeners", and at least received an "outstanding" evaluation during the assessment.]

"Beautiful! The existence of this spell array may have something to do with the flood of insect swarms. Destroying it can also confirm some speculations that even if we are eliminated now, the secret hidden in this forest will probably be completely revealed by the game characters." It is not that the Sword Immortal was deeply inspired, but an outstanding evaluation of difficulty would allow him to get 1,600 credit points, and in a sense, its difficulty level is much higher than the ordinary excellence he had obtained before.

"Instead of letting the game characters reveal the truth and promote the plot, we should do it ourselves."

Yu Chen smiled slightly and then looked at the hut. The subsequent main task did not appear, and some key might be triggered in the hut.

The furnishings in the cottage were extremely simple, with no other furniture except a bed and a table next to the bed, so the embers could easily look at the books on the table.

He opened it, glanced at it, and then found that it was not a book? It was clearly a diary that had just been written.

...

The Wasteland Calendar October 11, 2077.

Another failure has made us lose confidence in exploring the ruins.

The city that used to be like a fairy tale is now only a nightmare scene.

Why? The mirage allows us to see the treasure, but reality is so cruel.

Fortunately, we were not without discovery. At the edge of the ruins, I saved a coma man.

He said he was called "Gardener".

...

The Wasteland Calendar October 15, 2077.

The man who called himself a "gardener" woke up and our dream began.

He has the back of a mountain and the skin of a rock. Even the most ferocious beasts on the wasteland will become extremely docile in front of him. Even the most terrifying plant in the ruins can only swing gently in his hands.

Others don't know it, but I traveled through the wasteland and learned Bob, but I can see that he is an extremely rare "reality distortist" and has the ability to communicate with nature.

He made me decide to go deeper into the ruins again and look for treasures.

...

The Wasteland Calendar October 22, 2077.

The existence of gardeners gives us hope.

Treasure, waving!

The beasts and plants in this ruins no longer pose a threat. What we need to face is the evil ghosts remaining in the old world and the broken nightmare of fairy tales.

But even so, death inevitably appeared.

But nothing can shake our firm steps towards treasure.

Sun Ladder!

We are here!

I can't wait to see a big deal that alarmed the wasteland appeared in all the newspapers in the wasteland!

...

The Wasteland Calendar October 25, 2077.

The newspaper I ordered should be delivered to the camp tomorrow, but I probably won't have the chance to see it.

Our dreams are shattered because our heroes turn it into a nightmare.

His desire for the sun ladder comes from his heart and from the power of communication with nature.

The beasts and plants showed their original appearance, and our weapons were simply not enough to deal with these crazy monsters, deaths, one after another, and now I am the only one left.

I think something should be left behind to prove that Bob, who has traveled all over the wasteland, has indeed been here.

Oh! It's time to stop writing because I saw him, but why do three of them appear in my eyes?

Is it because of excessive blood loss and dizziness?

Or is it because of an indescribable light?

...

This man named Bob sprayed a mouthful of blood on his diary while he was dying, so it was difficult to confirm the handwriting on the last page.

But this did not prevent Ember from admiring the other party. Even when death was about to come, the pen had never scattered. This Bob, who was still boasting about his death, might be as he introduced that he would develop such strong self-control by walking all over the wasteland.

In this regard, Yu Chen couldn't help but ask himself, would he still be as stable as ever if he had been holding the paintbrush's palm?

[Tip: After reading "Bob's Diary", you triggered the second ring of the main task "Looking for Gardeners".]

...

Task name: [Looking for Gardener] (the second ring of the main mission)

Requirements: Go to another gardener's cottage in Dark Curtain Forest

Reward: Unknown (rewards are accumulated, after completing all links, they will be distributed depending on the completion status)

Introduction: The discovery of the gardener's hut allows you to reveal a little truth. You can report it to the "farmer" and get a certain reward. You can also continue to explore and seek more precious rewards.

[Tip: If you cannot complete this task, you will not be punished and will not affect subsequent assessments.]

...

The system prompted Yu Ember to wake up from his meditation. He took a deep look at the mission introduction and felt the murderous intent behind the text.

Even the mission introduction is hinting that the player can stop, so the difficulty and dangers of the subsequent are conceivable.

"Let's go, the next destination has been given."

Embers were not afraid of any challenges, and Bob's diary made him want to see it with his own eyes, the back of a mountain, the skin of a rock, and the secret hidden in the deepest part of the man.

The same person who read the diary was not the Sword Immortal. Although he was a little shocked by the content of the diary, he could not feel Yu Chen's mood. However, he could vaguely detect that Yu Chen's temperament was changing quietly. If Yu Chen was a little frivolous before entering the door, then the back that walked out of the door had already emitted a heavy aura brewed by time.

It takes twenty-seven minutes to leave the gardener's hut, force the corroded river water, and arrive at the center of the forest. One minute, the third-level pea shooter can be formed, completely transforming the combat power of Yuchen.

It wasn't Sword Immortal that he was very excited because he felt that his already thick thighs were about to become thicker.

When Yuchen was equipped with the Gloves of the Desert Wolf, it was beyond his expectations. He was almost at level 4, but he had already entered the realm of level 5. It was not the Sword Immortal that he couldn't understand why Yuchen's upgrade speed was so fast, but he wanted Yuchen to rise faster so that he could also rise quickly. With the killing of the Curse Fox, it was not the Sword Immortal who reached level 4. Instead, he would become a tool man because of the formation of the third-level pea archer.

"The tool is the tool, the happiness of the tool is the tool, and others cannot understand it at all."

The one who is extremely free and easy is not the Sword Immortal, who is very good at finding his own position, but before the third-level pea saga was completely formed, he saw a person who made him unhappy.

On the black earth in the center of the forest, there was a burly figure standing.

He has the back of a mountain and the skin of a rock...
