Chapter 1562: Chapter 1098: We Are Friends

A total of forty-two scratch cards, Jiang Yuan clicked and scratched them open, basically solving one in two or three seconds. So within a very short time, too many messages flashed by in his view, he couldn’t take a closer look.

The last card opened, again randomly selecting to complete a side quest.

[Side Quest: World Tree]

[Quest 7: Care for the World Tree to grow to Level Seven, completed. Reward: World Tree map fragment +1 issued]

[Quest 8: Care for the World Tree to grow to Level Eight. Reward: World Tree map fragment +1]

[World Tree map fragment *4, do you want to synthesize an intermediate map copy?]

"Huh? Four fragments yet they still synthesize an intermediate copy?" Seeing this, he frowned slightly, should he synthesize or not?

Meanwhile, already anxious, Little Elf You Meng watched the World Tree grow bigger on its own, frightened to the point of becoming blurred, screamed, "Do not grow any more! The Tree of Time is silent, and the Tree of Life is ill, if you grow this fast, there’ll be big trouble if you can’t contain it!"

As soon as the words were out, the World Tree, growing thunderously from its roots, grew another large segment, its dense crown entering a patch of gray-black cloud and mist.

In an instant, the gray-black cloud and mist flashed with lightning and thunder, faintly accompanied by terrifying roars.

"Woo woo woo... it’s too scary!" You Meng trembled and fluttered back to a safe area, trembling under a leaf, looking up at the very high place, hands clasped tightly praying softly, "Guardian of the World Tree, please come quickly to check. If the World Tree has another problem, the entire complete world will collapse!"

"Achoo!" Sneezed Jiang Yuan, who was being talked about, then in his view popped up a new message from clone number 3: The mine here suddenly shook, the World Tree pierced into the black clouds, lightning and thunder mingled with ghostly cries, it’s eerie. Do you want to come take a look?

This is why a clone can never replace the main body—no system.

Burying himself in work he can do, but pioneering new fields is not possible, Little Elf You Meng fundamentally does not recognize the clone. The main body must personally go, to trigger conversation like with an NPC, and then after a series of checks, when basic skills meet the requirements, it is allowed to go up to the next level.

Originally wanting to reply to the clone telling him it’s just the World Tree’s normal upgrade so don’t worry, Jiang Yuan thought it best to go in person after all.

At least stockpiled materials for so long, see how much can still be used.

He finally understood why there is only one holiday event per year, because when the system does a holiday celebration, that’s really giving away for free! Just completing side quests with scratch cards pushed forward most of the stuck tasks.

If there were more events, wouldn’t need to do anything all year, just wait for the free stuff.

The current biggest wrap-up task, all on Conch Island.

Need to cultivate underwater farmland; need to fuse new plots to hide them and set them up; also, re-purchase and layout a pile of unlocked scenery; and all kinds of rewards obtained these days, use them as much as possible.

First glance over at the World Tree, then find the right exchange among massive privileged items.

"Ah! Jiang Yuan, you’re finally here!" Just clicked to teleport to the depths of the Old Dragon Cave’s World Tree, Jiang Yuan heard the surprised and delighted cry of Little Elf You Meng, "Woo woo woo... I’m about to die of fright! Come quickly to see the World Tree, it suddenly grew so much so much! It’s like going crazy! I’ve never seen the World Tree look out of control, it’s too scary!"

Sure enough, the World Tree before him was lush with leaves, the wooden steps originally extending into each cave entrance were cloaked by the tree canopy, almost invisible.

Selecting the World Tree, he clicked the gear that popped out to view details.

Good news: The previously stockpiled materials can be used! Bad news: Most completed only halfway, a small part is only a third done. Looks like relying solely on himself to upgrade the World Tree again, without special channels to obtain these difficult-to-find rare materials, it would take at least a year and a half.

"Don’t worry, it’s not out of control nor insane, it’s simply that I’ve obtained a treasure for nurturing the World Tree." Jiang Yuan reassured, while looking up at the dense crown entering that patch of gray-black cloud, faintly hearing the wind whistling and ghostly cries.

You Meng was still anxious, not quite believing his words, what treasure could make the World Tree grow like this?

After a moment of silence, she sighed, "Although I know you’re well-meaning, I still must say, it’s really too impulsive! The World Tree bears and guards all Little Worlds, most of the polluted filthy things by the Outer Heaven Demon are blocked and contained by it.

So in the trunk of the World Tree, there is already a pile of pollutants.

Once the World Tree grows too large, re-establishing connections with the Netherworld, Demon Realm, and more worlds, suppressing evil won’t work, but on the contrary, pollutants will rampage, the consequences are unimaginable!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Jiang Yuan: !!!

You seem to know a lot, Little Elf.

"The World Tree can still be connected to the Demon Realm, Netherworld?" He feigned ignorance, and pursued, "Can I travel to those Little Worlds through the World Tree branches?"

Now that it’s reached this point, hiding the truth no longer holds any meaning, one must let the other party know the dangers.

Little Elf You Meng, for the first time, didn’t speak like an NPC, but landed on a small branch, face solemnly serious and said, "The World Tree connects the Three Realms, the entire complete world is closely related to it.

In theory, the Guardian of the World Tree can travel to any Little World through countless branches.

But ever since the World Tree suffered the heavy blow from the Outer Heaven Demon’s black hand, after being devastated and withered, to maintain the safety of the complete world, it retains only the capacity to block and contain pollutants.
