[Fruit of the World Tree]

Well

So, is this the world tree?

A single branch of an old tree that had been smashed must have been like a god.

Yoo Ji-Ha looked up at the fairly large tree.

What happened to me so far, is that you?

..

Of course, there was no answer.

But he doesnt think its this sloppy?

Is it that hard to bear one fruit?

Or maybe there is another reason.

He looked around the garden but couldnt find anything particularly helpful.

The Theradrone Knight and his men crawled out of the ground.

To have a myth-level monster, it should be because of world tree.

Watching Beom play, the Knight suggested something.

[The Theradrone Knight wants to go find the symbiotes that the World Tree needs. Do you want to allow it? YES/NO]

If we find symbiotes, will we be able to make the world tree healthy?

Then there is no need to worry.

Clicking YES, the message went off, and Knight nodded with his tongs.

At his command, his men marched in unison into the fog wall.

Yoo Ji-Ha avoided disturbing Beom and hurriedly took the sap jelly and potions.

Just in case, he wrote a scroll of change, so he was fully prepared.

Finally, the Theradrone Corps entered the miniature world.

The world revealed this time

Wow.

A huge tree appeared.

It was so large that he couldnt see the whole thing.

If its this big in a miniature world, how big is it originally?

He doesnt know, but he thinks the base is wider than the area of any city.

Huge wooden pillars soared into the sky.

It might even reach the stratosphere.

But this huge tree was dying.

Were the tree roots found in each dungeon belonged to this guy?

This is the body of the world tree.

The Theradrones, which are incredibly small compared to the tree, began to dig into the ground.

Eventually, they drove out a small insect in the shape of a firefly.

[Symbiote]

Evolution was completed in an instant as hundreds and thousands of insects flew around the Theradrones.

Every Theradrones have transformed into warriors, and the Knight has become more formidable.

The Theradrones began to move into the forest with symbiotes flying around them.

And then, the World tree in the dream began to absorb the symbiotes.

Woah-ah-

Ugh!

A sudden golden veil obscured the sight of Yoo Ji-Ha.

When he finally opened his eyes, he saw a bright golden tree standing tall.

About 500 Theradrones danced around the tree.

Now the World Tree has been restored.

But he knew there was still a long way to go.

Yoo Ji-Ha reached the World Tree and stroked its bark.

When his face radiates a smile, the class in the status window was changed, and XXX was peeled off.

[Class: Worker of the World Tree

Primary stat: Stamina: 140 Vitality: 130 Ether: 140 Essence: 5

Secondary stat: Endurance: 13 Strength: 14 Agility: 13 Talent: 14 Spirit: 14

Resistance: Physical: 15 Elements: 10 Poison: 10 Abnormalities: 10

Characteristic: Blessing of the World Tree LV2, Good writing LV2

Skills: Plant-friendly LV1, Animal-friendly LV1, Alchemy LV2, Ancient Magic LV1]

It has changed a lot.

Stat increased by 5 and resistance was +10.

Above all, he was happy to have an ether.

Until now, it was marked with -, so it was impossible to use any skill, but now there is hope.

There may be other effects, but hell have to figure it out slowly.

Yoo Ji-Ha greeted the shining World tree.

Thanks.

Although the wind did not blow, as if it had accepted his greeting, the branches slowly swayed.

***

It suddenly widened.

After the restoration of the World Tree, the gardens doubled in area.

When he went to the sea to catch fish for a while, there were trees and plants he had never seen before, and the stream became a river.

The Theradrones brought a lot of seeds from where they came from, put them down at Yoo Ji-Has feet and ran away.

Beom, who went up to the World Tree, howled and cried as if he didnt like the suddenly enlarged garden.

That tree is your father.

Ji-ha is looking after him so is he a mother?

In addition, insects that was not supposed to be here were also seen.

He wondered where they came from, and discovered it was beyond the fog.

Should he laugh or cry seeing that when they try to get inside, they are being intercepted by Theradrones?

Arent you guys so arrogant?

As Yoo Ji-Ha said, the Theradrones lined up unknown insects and sent them inside one by one.

Occasionally, if there was strong resistance, they would turn them over and punish them.

In any case, it was as if the sluggish garden was brought to life as insects roamed around.

The restoration of the World Tree is regenerating the ecosystem.

Perhaps this garden is a microcosm of the continent of Gehenna.

It was reduced to a certain ratio and Yoo Ji-Ha was adjusted to make it easier to work

The World Tree prepared the way here and invited me.

He still didnt know why, but he decided to accept it now.

Other reasons aside, its fun and rewarding.

Ike¹sfx shock.

Yoo Ji-Ha almost stepped on an insect.

Watching his body half lifted protest made him dazed.

This is not Earth.

Beom jumped and hugged Yoo Ji-Ha.

He felt like his body and mind were purified as he held the chubby guy and watched the river flowing with calm water.

The fish are all grown now.

Red trout. The fish who only used to be the size of his fingers became an adult and had a buff.

[Red Trout: Acquire Extrasensory LV1 for 30 minutes.]

I can also give extrasensory skills.

Although there is a time limit of 30 minutes, it would be of great help if he could quickly recognize the monsters attack.

However, it was difficult to sell this kind of skill that was not there, like the palm tongs.

I tried to give it to SeongHo Hyung before, but in the end I couldnt

If he mixes palm tongs meat and red trout flesh to make a pemicon, will he get both skills at the same time?

Beom, its your turn to pay for the meal.

He tapped him on the ass, looked at the red trout and Beom had a You want me to catch this? looked.

A simple fishing rod was thrown, and a large red trout rushed in.

Cutting the trout without much difficulty and put the flesh in

wow.

Beom was crying next to him, so he couldnt help but handed over the flesh and caught another.

When he sees the little guy eats well, he feels proud for nothing.

You have to grow up fast too, okay?

Theradrone looks like its enlarged prototype, but what does Beom look like?

It would be cool if he will resemble the white lion, the king of the jungle.

Looking around the garden, Yoo Ji-Ha saw those crops such as solar apples, winter strawberries, and shadow grapes had risen to LV2.

If I make a potion with this, it will be more effective.

It seems that these crops also seem to improve as the World tree grows.

If it regains its original form, it will be possible to create potions that are now unimaginable.

Hmm.

Thinking of making something like that later, puts a lot of pressure on Ji-Has shoulders.

When he went to the place where the Theradrones had laid down the seeds, he found all kinds of crop seeds and shoots.

Are they saying they want to grow the garden with this?

If it grows well, it can be grown and eaten in real life.

After deciding to grow it in the garden, he took out a hoe and leveled the ground.

He does not know farming, but the mysterious garden will take care of it.

He had to bend his back to work for a long time, but it was surprisingly not difficult.

The blessing of the World Tree is really great.

His stats have risen a lot, so he can now demonstrate the strength and endurance of an adult male who has been trained through exercise.

As Yoo Ji-Ha was diligently digging the ground, Beom also helped with his front foot.

You arent going to ruin it, are you?

wow.

It sounded like a voice telling him to leave it alone.

Well

Oh oh.

He thought that Beom had hidden the qualities of a farmer.

Yoo Ji-Ha was greatly surprised by Beom, who was digging up the ground.

It seemed better than his hoe.

The ground is not so soft, but it is strange.

The ground dug deep as if they had struck down a pickaxe with a single forefoot.

The other paw skillfully leveled the ground, so the fit was just right.

It was also very fast, like a few people were doing it alone.

In return, his whole body was covered with dirt, but when he jumped into the river and shook it, it was cleaned instantly.

You are the best.

When Yoo Ji-Ha lifted his thumb, Beom shook off his body and took out the seed bag in the backpack.

No, it has cannibal seeds inside.

It is the seed of carnivorous plant that he gotten from the dungeon he entered with HyeJin.

He brought it once, but he sealed it because he thought he would be eaten later if he planted it.

But Beom hurriedly took out the seeds and planted it in the ground.

Why? What if we will be caught and eaten?

Wow.

There is no such thing, butler, no human.

Well, thats roughly what it means.

Yoo Ji-Ha shrugged his shoulders and concentrated on other things.

Then, suddenly, something fell from the World Tree.

It turned out to be none other than the fruit of the World tree.

It seems that there is no effect,

Sniffing.

The fruit the size of a large plum did not have any special smell.

It was a bit expensive to taste.

Still, it is a fruit given by the world tree.

Yoo Ji-Ha left it in his backpack and concentrated on weeding to avoid insects roaming under his feet.

Before long, the garden was cleaned, and the Theradrones were seen carrying a few oyster shells.

Buffs were not seen so he doesnt know whether they were adults or not.

What, how did you guys hunt it?

How did they come out of the river with a giant clam the size of a human fist?

They watched and carefully laid down one of the largest clams at Yoo Ji-Has feet.

Wont you take this and pretend you dont know? Well, thats what it means.

When Yoo Ji-Ha smiled and accepted it, the guys happily took the clams.

They opened the shell next to the hole in the ground, buried the shell and went in with only the flesh.

They are hardworking guys.

***

Yoo Ji-Ha has been concentrating on making potions in the shop since morning.

He wondered what effect the World tree fruit had.

There is no explanation, but he may know when making a potion.

Both hands rushed back and forth on the table.

The purified, concentrated liquid was poured over, boiled, and finally poured into the bottle.

[Alchemy skill increased to LV3.]

This seems to give a huge experience.

It seems that the amount of experience increase for alchemy skills varies depending on what he deals with.

Although it cannot be confirmed numerically, as it is the fruit of the World tree, it was obvious that it would produce a tremendous effect.

The finished liquid was a potion named Elixir.

I think Ive made something great.

When he saw the effect of the potion that was made, he felt like he couldnt sell it.

[Concentrated Elixir LV1: Instantly recovers 37% of max HP, vitality, and ether. All stats +19% for 114 minutes²about two hours, Resistance +19, Invincible for 6 seconds.]

Its not an artifact but for the effect of the potion can go like this.

The effect of instantly recovering HP, etc. is very rare, and the effect of raising the stats was unheard of.

The invincible effect for 6 seconds, there is nothing to say.

If I sell this, hunters from all over city will flock to me.

Lets only give it to close friends who wont mind giving.

He sealed the potion bottle and put it in the cupboard.

As the liquid in the cauldron was stirred slowly, smoke and a sweet scent rose.

Beom, who was sleeping on the chair, pricked his ears.

After reading the description of the potion that had been made, he was surprised.

Why do I see this?

He saw things he couldnt see before.
