Chapter 2197 Benefits

Fang Heng remained composed and continued to inquire, “Oh? So, Great Elder Senzo has something important to discuss with me?”

Senzo waved his hand, signaling the ordinary tree spirits to step back, leaving only a dozen or so elders of the tree spirit clan.

“Fang Heng, perhaps you don’t know much about our tree spirit clan. What I’m about to tell you is some of our clan’s secrets, which must not be revealed to outsiders.”

“Please go on.”

“Since ancient times, the tree spirit clan has been divided into four major tribes. Our Leaf tribe is just one of them. In the past, the tribes coexisted peacefully, each seeking their own way to enter the Inner World. When facing threats from the Federation, we would unite. However, with the disappearance of the Elders Council, the threat from the Federation has vanished, and conflicts between the tribes are becoming more apparent.”

Senzo narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Fang Heng, I need you to do something for our Leaf tribe.”

Fang Heng felt a strange sensation, sensing that Senzo was hiding something.

It felt like there was a catch.

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is that so? And what’s in it for me?”

“Fang Heng! Say that again!”

Vannes couldn’t help but glare at Fang Heng as he questioned, his eyes revealing anger.

Helping their Leaf tribe was an honor for humans, and he still wanted benefits?!

Vannes couldn’t understand Elder Senzo’s intentions. Their Leaf tribe’s influence was superior to the other tribes among the four major clans.

Why seek help from this weak human?

“Vannes! Show some respect!”

Senzo intervened, stopping Vannes, then turned to Fang Heng and continued, “Very well, as long as you help us with one task, we are willing to assist you in advancing your mastery in natural science.”

Advancement in natural science!

Master-level natural science!

Fang Heng’s pupils contracted.

Enticing!

Fang Heng found it hard to resist.

“Elder Senzo, I must say, you understand human nature well. What do you need me to do?”

“So, does that mean you agree?”

Fang Heng nodded gently.

“Of course, I have no reason to refuse.”

“The matter is of great importance. You must ensure that after accepting the mission, you will not cooperate with any other clan of the tree spirit tribe.”

Instantly, another line of game hints appeared.

Hint: The player triggers the main mission-Trade from the Leaf tribe.

Mission name: Trade from the Leaf tribe.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: The tree spirit tribe is divided into multiple clans. The disruption of the spiritual domain blockade network and the process of entering the Inner World have shattered the peace of the tree spirit tribe for many years. Great Elder Senzo of the Leaf tribe invites you to assist the tribe in completing some tasks. In return, the Leaf tribe is willing to help you perform the ritual for advancing to master-level natural science.

Mission requirements: The completion rate of this mission must reach 100%. If the player cooperates with any other faction of the tree spirit tribe or accepts missions from other factions, this mission will automatically fail, and the friendship level with the Leaf tribe will decrease to the lowest.

Failure penalty: The friendship level with the Leaf tribe will decrease significantly.

Mission reward: Ritual for advancing to master-level natural science.

With the game hint, Fang Heng felt somewhat relieved. With a game mission as a guarantee, the likelihood of the Leaf Tribe defaulting decreased significantly.

“Elder Senzo, I agree. During our cooperation, I will not collaborate with any other faction of the tree spirit tribe. Alright, tell me, what do you need me to do?”

“Very well. I need you to infiltrate the Holy Land of the tree spirit tribe, the Ring of the Ages, and find the Altar of the Wood God.”

Fang Heng’s mind stirred. The holy land of the tree spirit tribe!

What treasures could be found there?

“We will guide you, but only you and three accompanying humans will be allowed to enter the Ring of the Ages for exploration.”

“Just us? Why is that?”

“Because we are tree spirit tribe members, and without the permission of the Elders Council, we are not allowed to enter the Ring of the Ages. Forcing entry would have a significant impact, although not fatal, on both humans and ourselves.”

Fang Heng rubbed his chin, finding the explanation reasonable, and nodded, “Alright, understood. And then? Do I just need to find the Altar of the Wood God?”

“Yes, I also need you to search the Altar of the Wood God. If you find wooden caskets inside the altar, retrieve them all and hand them over to us. Your mission will be considered complete.”

Hint: The player has triggered a side mission-Infiltrate the Ring of the Ages.

Mission name: Infiltrate the Ring of the Ages.

Mission difficulty: SS

Mission description: Great Elder Senzo hopes you can infiltrate the Holy Land area of the tree spirit tribe-the Ring of the Ages, retrieve the wooden caskets belonging to the tree spirit tribe from the altar inside the canyon, and return with them.

Mission requirements: Search for and retrieve wooden caskets (0

/4).

Mission reward: For each wooden casket handed over to the Leaf tribe, the completion rate of the mission increases by 50%.

Failure penalty: A significant decrease in friendship with the Leaf tribe.

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint. There were a total of four wooden caskets mentioned, but he only needed to retrieve two to complete the mission. It didn’t seem too difficult, considering the mission’s SS-level -difficulty rating.

“Is the Ring of the Ages very dangerous?”

“I have never entered the holy land, so I am not sure. Everything will depend on you.”

“What was in the box?”

“I can’t disclose, but I can only say it’s an inheritance belonging to our tree spirit tribe, extremely important to us, the leaf tribe.” Senzo shook his head, interjecting, “Fang Heng, you have many questions, but unfortunately, we don’t have much time. I don’t have time to explain everything. Will you go or not? I need an answer now.”

“Alright, I accepted.”

Fang Heng shrugged, choosing to accept the mission.

The mission could be accepted to see.

At worst, it would fail later.

What if there was something good in the box?

We’ll see how things go.

Also, taking advantage of the current cooperation status, Fang Heng exchanged all the contribution points of the tree spirit tribe for Leaves of Life.

“Very well, the outer seal of the Elder’s Council of the tree spirit tribe will be broken by us together after all the tribes arrive. The Wood tribe is already on the way, and expected to arrive this afternoon. At that time, you will follow us to enter the Elder’s Council together.”

“Alright, no problem.”

“Oh, there’s one more thing, Elder Senzo.”

Senzo was about to leave when Fang Heng stopped him, causing him to pause and ask, “What else?”

“I want to use the contribution points of the tree spirit tribe to exchange for some items.”

Senzo couldn’t help but furrow his brows, feeling a vague sense of unease.

Could it be that he…

Fang Heng had a ‘simple’ smile on his face, “I want to exchange for Leaves of Life.”

Vannes was also taken aback, immediately recalling the scene where Fang Heng continuously ‘extorted’ Leaves of Life at the central research institute of the federation. He inexplicably shrank his neck and looked at Elder Senzo.

Elder Senzo’s face also turned slightly green.

More Leaves of Life!

Is this kid raised on Leaves of Life?

Who would have thought?

Just granting Fang Heng access to exchange contribution points could make him feel so hurt.

“Give it! Give him the exchange!”

Senzo almost gritted his teeth as he said this, then turned and left in a huff.

Hint: The player’s friendship level with the tree spirit tribe decreased by 3 points.

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt and walked toward the unfriendly Vannes, saying, “Elder Senzo, I have 5,300,000 contribution points. I need to exchange them for 53 Leaves of Life.”

Vannes was stunned, doubting his own ears.

“You… How much did you say?”
