nThe three Tree Shepherds had already noticed Klein. They only glanced at him and didn’t stop shouting.

nThey looked like humans, but they weren’t tall. They held withered tree canes in their hands.

nTheir skin was dark green, a light green color.

nThe area around their eyes was black, like a giant panda.

nTheir hair was also dark green, and they were tied into pigtails.

nThey had a beard.

nTheir faces were like old tree bark.

nDue to this, Klein quickly approached and blocked in front of the Tree Shepherds.

nHis voice instantly disappeared.

n“Friend, is there anything you need our help with?”

nThe tallest Tree Shepherds came forward to ask.

nWhat a good temper!

nKlein revealed a warm smile.

n“I’ve only heard of the legend of the Tree Shepherd in the past. Today is the first time I’ve seen it. Don’t blame me for being excited.”

n“Really?”

nThe Tree Shepherds smiled in return.

n“I see you have a lot of fruit trees with you. Are you going to the catacomb ahead?”

nKlein looked at the other two Tree Shepherds, who were also polite, and continued, “I am interested in the fruit trees behind you, and I personally like fruit. I have planted Bread Fruit trees, Sweet Fruit trees and Fragrant Rice trees, but I wonder what kind of fruit trees you are leading?”

n“There are a lot of species.”

nWhen the Tree Shepherd heard Klein talk about the fruit trees, all of his faces were filled with smiles.

nHis face, which was originally like the bark of a tree, was even more wrinkled.

nIt was also in a black circle. Pandas were considered cute, but the Tree Shepherd looked like he had been beaten up.

n“Is that so? Can you introduce them to me?”

nKlein didn’t need them to introduce him. The system would still give a description.

nHowever, in order to allow the transaction to proceed normally, it was necessary to talk nonsense with the Tree Shepherd.

n“Alright.”

nThe leading Tree Shepherd nodded.

n“Follow me.”

nKlein followed the tree herder into the neat fruit forest.

nThe two other Tree Shepherds accompanied him.

nHe didn’t know if it was because he didn’t have any ulterior motives or if they weren’t worried that Klein would have any ill intentions. In short, they allowed Klein to approach and enter the fruit forest.

nThe Tree Shepherd smiled and said, “This is a Yellow Sausage fruit.”

n“Come, try the taste of a large sausage.”

nIt was actually a fruit that was similar to a banana. Its skin was thinner and had a little juice.

n“This is a White Juice Fruit tree. There’s no flesh inside, only fruit juice. Have a taste.”

nThe Tree Shepherd said, “I heard that the first White Juice Fruit was mutated from a Black Juice Fruit.”

nThe Tree Shepherd picked a fruit that was similar to a coconut.

nAfter Klein tasted it, he realized that it had a Sprite flavor.

n“This one is shorter and is called a Red Heart Fruit. It has a sweet taste with a hint of blood.”

n“Isn’t it very special?”

nHe stopped along the way.

nThe Tree Shepherd was extremely hospitable. After introducing a fruit, he would pick one or two fruits.

nIf there were no fruits, he would simply describe the taste.

nFrom the beginning to the end, he admired all of them.

nKlein smiled and said, “Thank you for your explanation. It looks like we won’t be having lunch at noon. Every piece of fruit is delicious.”

nKlein smiled and pointed at the two little fellows at his feet. Their bellies were round, and they were all stuffed!

nThe Tree Shepherd smiled and said, “It’s a pleasure to be able to share our fruits with you.”

nThe smile on the Tree Shepherd’s face became even more radiant.

nHe was happier to hear that Klein approved of their fruits than to praise them.

nThe three of them smiled.

nKlein said, “Friends, before we part ways, can I make a request that is a little too much?”

nKlein licked his lips, showing that he was still unsatisfied. His eyes were still looking at the fruit forest.

n“Please speak.”

nThe three Tree Shepherds became even more smug.

nLook, this was the charm of fruits!

nKlein looked at the three of them who were smiling and said, “I want to buy a batch of seeds from the three of you. It would be best if you have all of them. Is that okay?”

nKlein sighed.

n“I hope to be able to eat these fruits every day in the future! If it’s possible, I’m willing to exchange some water with you. These fruit trees seem to be lacking in water.”

n“Seeds? We can give them to you.”

nThe leading Tree Shepherd said sincerely, “We can give them to you for free! There’s no need for water. Every drop of water is extremely important when walking in the catacombs.”

n“Thank you for your generosity.”

nKlein was delighted when he saw that his bluff had succeeded.

nHe really liked simple and kind crypt creatures!

n“Wait a moment, we’ll go get the seeds.”

nThe Tree Shepherd returned to the flat fruit forest.

nA few minutes later, they came out again with a batch of various seeds in their hands, wrapped in layers of leaves.

nKlein also provided them with 5L of water.

nAlthough the Tree Shepherd wanted to give it away free of charge, Klein insisted on using water to trade.

nAs a conscientious businessman, he could offer less, but he couldn’t not give anything!

nHe still had to have this principle..

nKlein watched as the Tree Shepherds left the catacomb.

nThere were more than fifty seeds in the heavy leaves in his hands.

nHe had identified more than twenty species just now.

nThey were all fruit tree seeds.

nOther than the few species that Klein already had, most of them were new to him.

n“With so many seeds, I can taste all kinds of fruits in at least a day or two or a few days at most.”

nKlein was also able to expand the runic base.

nHe arrived at the greenhouse on the first floor.

nAlu and Lulu were dancing in the greenhouse, humming unique songs. From time to time, they would come to the water tank in the greenhouse to scoop water and sprinkle it on the surface of the plants.

nThey used coconuts to weave a small basket.

nEach time, they would scoop a little water, which was extremely inefficient. Watering a plant required them to fly back and forth more than a dozen times, but they still enjoyed it, brimming with smiles.

n“Tsk, how diligent,” Klein praised.
