Chapter 160 Divine Item (12K, Please Subscribe)
The accompanying dungeon has another characteristic.

The connection between him and the main instance is very close; every entry requirement is associated with the main instance.

In other words, players can only gain the qualification to enter the companion dungeon after completing the main dungeon.

As Lin Hanchuan approached the entrance to the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] instance, a system notification immediately rang out.

"Please note that there are three entry requirements for this instance."

First, you can only enter the highest difficulty level of the [Demon Plant World] dungeon you have already cleared. For example, to enter the Shura-level [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, you need to have a Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon clear record.

Second, rescue the plant master, Melo, from the BOSS of the [Plant World] and obtain the relevant quest from him.

Third, defeat the final boss of the [Demon Plant World] dungeon!

Three entry requirements.

After taking a look, Lin Hanchuan shared it in the Heavenly Dao Squad chat group.

Lin Hanchuan: "[Image], take a look at the entry requirements for the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, and then continue with the [Demon Plant World] dungeon!"

Long Xiaochen: "Mello? The middle-aged man who was already dead when we arrived at the Boss's hiding place?"

Upon entering the cave, everyone saw that the two-faced demonic plant not only used other demonic plants as nourishment, but also absorbed a middle-aged man.

He was already a corpse at that time.

Lin Hanchuan: "Yes, it should be him! Once we enter the central area, we'll head straight to the boss's hiding place. We should be able to save him."

I've already completed the game "[The World of Demon Plants]".

However, due to the presence of the middle contract star, the completion rate of the third stage of the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon is not high.

Not only did the story not end, but they also didn't receive any special, unique rewards.

Even without the accompanying instance "The Obsession of the Demon Plant Master," Lin Hanchuan would still enter the "Demon Plant World" instance again.

Long Xiaochen: "Let me first announce the news about the [Demon Plant World] and its accompanying dungeon. Once this news is released, it will help players who are still hesitant about whether to buy the Water Bear Monster Set to make up their minds."

Lin Hanchuan: "Okay!"

One [Plant World] dungeon might make players hesitate when faced with a Water Bear Monster set costing hundreds or thousands of gold coins, but what if you add another one?

[Wangyue City Conquest Team Main Group]

While everyone was still celebrating the Heavenly Path Team's first clear of the [Demon Plant World] dungeon and discussing it, Long Xiaochen appeared.

Kanglong Youhui: "I have two pieces of good news to share. First, [Demon Plant World] is not an ordinary dungeon, but a downgraded dungeon. Second, [Demon Plant World] also has a companion dungeon of the same level, [Demon Plant Master's Obsession], which we just discovered."

More important information about these two dungeons will be released as soon as we achieve the first clear of the accompanying dungeons.

Once this message appeared, no one in the chat group could remain calm anymore.

"A downgraded dungeon plus a companion dungeon, the level 25 dungeon below Greenlight Lake, is it exploiting an extreme bug? There's definitely something good inside!"

"The spring has come for players of the Demon Plant Master class! There's a high probability that Demon Plant Master-related resources will drop!"

"Our Wangyue City has really seen the most amazing dungeon in the Ninth District this time. I'm going to go check it out. Even if I can't beat it, I'll still do my check-in."

"Speechless, truly top-notch!"

"Let me make a reservation first. Anyone want to run the [Demon Plant World] dungeon together?"

"Count me in, I'll definitely go."

"I'll go too. As soon as the Silver-level Water Bear Monster Set comes out, I'll immediately enter Greenlight Lake."

Currently, the players who can enter the top five of the combat power rankings for various professions in Wangyue City are basically veterans from various regions with rich experience.

They were well aware of the unique nature of the downgraded dungeon plus the accompanying dungeon.

"The Water Bear Set! All I want right now is the Water Bear Set! I want to go underwater! I want to run dungeons!"

"@Kanglongyouhui, Brother Long, have you released any resources yet?"

Kanglong Youhui: "Brothers, don't worry, we'll announce it all together when the time comes."

When Long Xiaochen replied.

The message has appeared in the public chat channel of Wangyue City.

"Breaking news! The [Demon Plant World] dungeon underwater in Green Light Lake has been downgraded, and there is also a companion dungeon called [Demon Plant Master's Obsession]."

"Brother, are you serious?"

"Why would I lie to you? It was the message personally sent by the Heavenly Path Team's 'Kanglong Youhui' in the strategy team chat group. I'm just relaying it."

"If that's really the case, then I'll have to save up and cut back on my spending to buy the Water Bear Monster Set."

"Has any more information been revealed about the [World of Demon Plants] and the [Obsession of the Demon Plant Master]?"

"Not yet. The expert Kanglong Youhui only mentioned this in the group. More information will probably be released after the first clear of the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon."

……

Lin Hanchuan silently lurked in the public chat channel of Wangyue City, looking at everyone's chat history.

after awhile.

The entire Heavenly Path Squad re-entered the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] instance.

Having gained experience from the first dungeon run, everything proceeded smoothly the second time.

First, in the outer area, they killed the demonic plant puppets while walking towards the barrier.

The same applies to the central area.

But as soon as they entered the core area of ​​the [Demon Plant World], they headed straight for the Stone Building.

Before she could even stand still, Xingchen used her Little Wish spell to summon a portal.

Through the portal, the Heavenly Dao team once again entered the familiar underground cavern, where they saw the two-faced demonic plant and the middle-aged man kneeling by the pool.

Roots emanating from the two-faced demon plant's body were penetrating the middle-aged man's body, frantically absorbing his blood and flesh nutrients like nutrient straws.

Lin Hanchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

I guess I made it in time.

Only by rescuing him can one gain the qualification to enter the companion instance.

"save!!"

The middle-aged man also saw Lin Hanchuan and the others. His expression, which had been completely desperate, instantly became excited. He stretched out his hand, trembling, and pleaded.

"help me!"

As for the two-faced demonic plant, it remained as arrogant as ever.

"Damn humans, you'll all become my nourishment in a little while."

The voice sounded exactly like that of a middle-aged person.

The information about the two-faced demon plant was different from what I had seen the first time.

【Double-faced Demon Plant】

Level: 25

Rank: Commander-level BOSS
Attack: 2000-6000
Health: 26

Note: By absorbing the nutrients from two high-level demonic plants, it also gained some of their abilities. At this moment, its state is extremely unstable and it is gradually mutating.

This time, the two-faced demonic plant did not mutate.

The notes indicate that he is currently undergoing a mutation.

When I first saw him, he had already completed the mutation and was transforming into a king-level rank.

"The time of entry here will affect the level and strength of the two-faced demonic plant."

After determining the growth pattern of the two-faced demonic plant, Lin Hanchuan stopped hesitating and took action immediately.

Three minutes later.

"Ding! Successfully defeated the level 25 handsome two-faced demonic plant BOSS, gaining 6 experience points. Team action grants an additional 50% experience point bonus, resulting in an extra 3 experience points!"

"Ding! You have gained 3.6 experience points!"

As the two-faced demonic plant became a corpse, Lin Hanchuan received 3.6 experience points.

"Ding! Please note that according to the reward distribution method before entering the dungeon, you will receive all the rewards for clearing this Asura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have received the following rewards for clearing the Shura [Demon Plant World]: 5 experience points, 1000 gold coins, one [Double-Sided Demon Plant] seed, one [Divine Luo Demon Plant] seed, one [Realm Demon Plant] seed, 10 buckets of demon plant cultivation nutrient solution, and one scroll of the Herb Spirit Skill."

The experience points and gold rewards are much less than the previous first clear.

However, the item rewards are exceptionally generous.

There are only three demon plant seeds.

Lin Hanchuan took it out and glanced at it.

A green seed with a flower pattern on it.

【Two-Faced Demon Plant Seed】: Plant it and it will grow into a two-faced demon plant.

Quality: Eight-star superior

Monster plants are also graded by quality, similar to gems. One star is the lowest, nine stars is the highest, and eight stars is the best. Monster plants of this quality will be snapped up by monster plant players as soon as they are put out.

Especially since the ninth server has only been open for a short time.

Many players can delete their accounts and start over, choosing to become a plant master.

Although the quality of a demonic plant can be gradually improved through the careful cultivation of a demonic plant master, who wouldn't want to own a demonic plant that grows to be an eight-star superior quality from the very beginning?

This at least ensures that the minimum level of one's own combat power will not be low in the later stages of the game.

A seed about the length of a little finger, shaped like a vine.

[Divine Demon Plant Seed]: Planting it will cultivate a Divine Demon Plant.

Quality: Nine stars (medium)

"My goodness!!" Lin Hanchuan exclaimed in surprise.

It is a mid-level nine-star plant. If a plant master has this plant, they can play a little more cautiously in the early stages, but they can rise up in the mid-stages. Its future growth potential is very high!
His gaze then fell on a seed that was covered with bark and about the size of a fist.

【Realm Demon Plant Seed】: Planting it will cultivate a Realm Demon Plant.

Quality: Lower Grade of Basic Divine Item

This time, Lin Hanchuan finally couldn't contain his exclamation, "My goodness!!!"

【Demon Plant World】is a downgraded dungeon where the monsters inside are overpowered, but the rewards are even more overpowered.

Three demon plant seeds.

Nine-star medium-grade ones are enough to be used as rewards.

And now we've even got a divine-grade one!
What a surprise! How could I not be surprised?!
"Captain, what's wrong?" Long Xiaochen quickly came over and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Hanchuan has always been very calm.

He usually appears calm and collected when facing many things, and rarely shows such a shocked expression.

As Lin Hanchuan felt his chest pounding, he handed the three seeds in his hand to Long Xiaochen and said, "See for yourself!"

Long Xiaochen suspiciously took the three seeds from Lin Hanchuan and then checked their details through the system.

next moment.

Long Xiaochen: "Eight-star superior grade!!"

“Nine-star average!!”

Holy crap!!! This is divine!!!

Long Xiaochen was panting heavily as he spoke, and there was still a hint of shock on his face.

"What divine item??" Cao Renjie, who was collecting the items dropped by the dead two-faced demon plant at the bottom of the pool, suddenly popped his head out of the water and looked at Lin Hanchuan and Long Xiaochen with curiosity.

Especially Long Xiaochen.

His voice was so loud that even he could hear it underwater.

"Old Cao!! A divine grade!" Long Xiaochen said to Cao Renjie with great excitement, "A divine grade demon plant seed has appeared!!"

"Really?!" Cao Renjie was no longer calm. He immediately rushed out of the pool and came to Long Xiaochen's side.

"Would I lie to you!" Long Xiaochen carefully handed the [Realm Demon Plant Seed] to Cao Renjie and said, "Take a look!"

Cao Renjie accepted the message with both hands, glanced at it, and his pupils trembled for a long time. Finally, he looked at Lin Hanchuan and hurriedly asked, "Boss, what should we do with this divine-grade demonic plant seed?"

As everyone knows, the strength of a plant master is closely related to the plants they cultivate.

A divine-grade demonic plant means that as long as the opponent obtains it, they can directly enter the ranks of top players in the early stages, without any transitional period of sneaky development.

As the future continues to develop, in the later stages, even without the God-level Demon Plant Master profession, he can still possess demigod-level combat power simply by relying on God-grade demon plants!

It's scary.

Currently, the arrivals have all been opened in the ninth district.

I haven't heard of any player having a god-tier class yet.

A divine-grade demonic plant, without exaggeration, can represent the strongest demigod-level profession below the god level.

"Keep it for now!" Lin Hanchuan replied in a deep voice, "Selling it is out of the question."

Lin Hanchuan may be short of money, but he couldn't be so short that he would sell a plant master who would at least become a demigod in the future.

"Should I delete my account and start over?" Long Xiaochen asked softly.

"Get out! Get out!!" Cao Renjie said with a look of disgust.

"What else can we do?" Long Xiaochen said helplessly. "If you keep good things but don't use them, they're no different from decorations."

"Otherwise, we can find a plant master, let him start over, and then we can bring him into the team. That way, it's like we have a player with a demigod-level profession in our team."

"Don't be so outrageous!" The first to stand up and object was Long Xiaoyue. "Humans are all made of flesh and blood, and they are all greedy. In the early stages, he might need the resources we provide to grow, or perhaps out of guilt, he would stand with us through thick and thin."

"But what happens in the long run?"

"Once his strength improves and he reaches the level of a top player, he will definitely gain corresponding influence within the team. At that time, should we listen to the captain's orders or his orders?"

Long Xiaoyue strongly disagreed with using this divine-grade demon plant seed to cultivate a powerful demon plant master.

There are far too many players who can share hardship but not happiness.

He usually acts like he's the most loyal person, but when it comes to making a choice based on self-interest, he's often the one who stabs you in the back the hardest.

Cao Renjie sighed and nodded, "Yes! We can't let it happen again!"

When the Night Owl Squad in Zone 1 was first established, it consisted of only four members. Later, in order to expand the squad, they began to recruit other players and provided them with a lot of resources to help them grow.

But what is the final result?

It's betrayal!
If a divine-grade demonic plant truly helps the other party grow into a demigod-level demonic plant master, and then betrays them again, it would truly be like raising a tiger to cause trouble.

"Sigh!" Long Xiaochen sighed and said nothing more.

The lessons learned from the past are all there.

It's really hard to be completely open with other players anymore.

“How about this!” Lin Hanchuan said, but this time his gaze fell on Xingchen. “We will train Xingchen to become a demon plant master and let Xingchen use this divine-grade demon plant seed.”

Forehead! ?

Everyone on the scene suddenly had a moment of mental blankness.

Xingchen looked at Lin Hanchuan with a blank expression.

Lin Hanchuan continued, "Elves, dwarves, and other races, while inheriting the abilities from their bloodline, can't they also acquire certain professions later in life?"

"Moreover, you have all seen how powerful the demonic plants are. If Xingchen can become a demonic plant master in the future, in addition to having powerful combat abilities, he will also be able to protect himself."

The current problem is that Lin Hanchuan is reluctant to sell the divine-grade seeds.

They also couldn't bear to give it to other players who didn't know about it.

But if it's used by the stars, then all of the above problems will be easily solved.

The abilities that Xingchen currently uses are all obtained from the Starborn bloodline and have nothing to do with his profession.

Lin Hanchuan could easily obtain a Demon Plant Master job change scroll for Xingchen, helping her become a Demon Plant Master and then control a divine-grade demon plant.

This will directly raise the overall combat power ceiling of the Heavenly Dao Squad to a new level.

"Great!! As expected of the captain, your mind is quick and sharp!"

"Let's do it this way!!"

"From now on, Xingchen will be the real backbone of our Heavenly Dao Squad."

Lin Hanchuan's proposal was agreed upon by everyone.

Right now, there is indeed no one more suitable than Xingchen to become the plant master of the Heavenly Dao Squad.

The demonic plants of the stars are the same as the demonic plants of all the members of the Heavenly Dao Squad; they are inseparable.

While the amount of resources required to cultivate a divine-grade demonic plant is indeed enormous, once Lin Hanchuan has established his power, he can dedicate a portion of those resources specifically to cultivating demonic plants.

"Xingchen, what are you thinking?" Lin Hanchuan squatted down, looked at Xingchen, and asked.

Xingchen replied without hesitation, "Brother Huang, I'll listen to you!"

"it is good!!"

Lin Hanchuan smiled and patted Xingchen's head.

After the three demonic plant seeds returned to Lin Hanchuan's hands, Lin Hanchuan looked at the other two rewards.

10 barrels of nutrient solution for cultivating the plant.

【Plant Cultivation Nutrient Solution】

Quality: Top quality

Note: It can provide the plant with a large amount of nutrients needed for its growth.

A scroll containing the ability to communicate with plants and trees.

[Plant Spirit Skill Scroll]: After learning this skill, you will gain the skill "Plant Spirit".

Required profession: Plant Master!

[Plants and Trees Have Spiritual Connection]

Level: B-rank special skill

After use, it allows you to communicate with plants for three seconds.

Basic effect 1: There is a chance that you will be regarded as one of the same kind by fairies.

Basic effect 2: Plants that are in contact with you for a long time have a chance to be transformed into fairies.

Cooldown time: 1 hour!

Note: All things in the world have their own life, their own language and perception; the only thing humans lack between them is the ability to communicate.

Fairies are creatures that grow from plants and trees. They are pure-hearted, without any ulterior motives, and very obedient.

Unfortunately, Lin Hanchuan couldn't learn the skills on the scroll.

But it will come in handy once Xingchen becomes a plant master.

"I...I..." After putting away the scroll, Lin Hanchuan noticed that someone seemed to be talking behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the middle-aged man.

He was rescued.

But he looked like he was on his deathbed.

"I'm dying!"

When the middle-aged man saw Lin Hanchuan finally looking at him, tears welled up in his eyes. He had been calling out, but none of the people who had saved him had paid him any attention.

Lin Hanchuan then remembered that he was the key figure in entering the [Demon Plant World] companion dungeon [Demon Plant Master's Obsession]. He immediately took out a bottle of red potion, walked quickly to him, and handed it over, saying, "Drink this quickly!"

"It's no use!" The middle-aged man sat leaning against a stalactite, shaking his head weakly.

"Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Lin Hanchuan squatted down and asked with concern, "If it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you complete it!"

Long Xiaochen and his group saw Lin Hanchuan triggering a mission.

They all tacitly maintained a certain distance from him.

Long Xiaoyue stood guard beside Xingchen.

Long Xiaochen collected the items dropped by the two-faced demonic plant on the shore.

Cao Renjie dived back into the water to collect the items dropped by the two-faced demon plant.

"I want to become a plant master!" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Hanchuan blankly and sighed.

"My father is a plant master, and I want to become a plant master too."

"Unfortunately, although I found his demonic plant—the Divine Luo Demonic Plant—it does not recognize me and is already severely injured, making it impossible to force a contract. Therefore, I can only find a two-faced demonic plant and hope to cultivate it into my demonic plant."

"But why did it turn out like this?" Lin Hanchuan asked.

The middle-aged man looked sad. "I was bewitched by it and put it into the nutrient pool of the demonic plant that has been passed down in our family for generations. It took the opportunity to absorb the life force of the Divine Luo Demonic Plant and the Realm Demonic Plant."

He tricked me into signing a symbiotic contract, and now that he's dead, I can't live anymore.

"Sigh!" Lin Hanchuan shook his head and said, "The two-faced demonic plant really deserves to die, for deceiving your kind heart."

That's what they said.

But in Lin Hanchuan's eyes, Mero and the Two-Faced Demon Plant were completely cut from the same cloth.

Now that the two-faced demon plant is dead, he can say whatever he wants. For the sake of the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, Lin Hanchuan continued to chime in, "If there is an afterlife, you will definitely meet even better demon plants and become a powerful demon plant master."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded heavily. "I want to become a powerful plant master city lord like my father. It's just that he deserves to die. If it weren't for that despicable swordsman, my father wouldn't have died."

"If my father were still alive, I would definitely be able to become a demon plant master!"

At this point, Messi suddenly closed his eyes, as if he had died.

The next moment, however, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if in a final burst of energy, and his voice was full of power as he spoke to Lin Hanchuan.

"If...if it were possible! I hope you could help me fulfill this wish and help me become a plant demon master?"

Once he finished speaking...

Melo was completely dead. The system notification sounded in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations on receiving the quest—【The Obsession of the Plant Master】."

The Obsession of the Plant Master

Difficulty: Special type of dungeon quest
Before he died, Melo still wanted to become a plant master, and he wanted you to help him realize this wish.

Completion Reward: Determined based on the final task completion rate.

Penalty for failure: None!

Hint: You can complete this quest in the companion dungeon, "The Plant Master's Obsession"!

Lin Hanchuan stood up.

Long Xiaochen had already finished collecting the items dropped by the two-faced demonic plant.

Cao Renjie just got out of the pool.

"The mission is complete!" Under their watchful eyes, Lin Hanchuan announced, "We can go straight to the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon later. It should be a story-related dungeon, so there shouldn't be too many monsters."

"Finally done!" Long Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason for entering the [Demon Plant World] dungeon this time was to meet the requirements for entering the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, and also to get the only reward that she hadn't obtained before.

Three demon plant seeds.

Its value is greater than the combined value of the two dungeons, [The World of Demon Plants] and [The Obsession of the Demon Plant Master].

This time, they really made a killing.

In addition to system rewards.

The two-faced demonic plant, which Lin Hanchuan killed with his own hands, dropped a lot of items after its death.

There are four gold-tier weapons!

There are also two types of demon plant seeds.

One type is five-star medium grade, and the other is four-star high grade.

Although it can't compare to the system's rewards, it's something that most plant masters can only dream of.

We have exited the [Demon Plant World] instance.

A new record has appeared on the recording stone.

"When we encounter a story-driven dungeon later, let's all keep our minds calm." Lin Hanchuan said to Long Xiaochen and the others while standing in front of the recording stone. "Try to follow the story and avoid using force. Before Melo died, he asked me to help him become a plant master, which means that there is a high chance that there will be a plant master job change scroll or inheritance in this companion dungeon."

"Don't expect a lot of experience. Companion dungeons are usually supplements to the main dungeon storyline, mainly giving some special rewards, but not much experience."

"Captain..." Upon hearing that there wasn't much experience to be gained, Long Xiaochen looked conflicted.

Lin Hanchuan looked over: "What's wrong?"

Long Xiaochen replied, "Can we run the [Demon Plant World] dungeon again?"

"I'm not far from reaching level 30 and completing the second job advancement."

Looking at the experience bar on the panel, Long Xiaochen realized that he was still far from level 30, and being stuck there was quite frustrating.

"I want to see what resources I need to advance to the second job advancement."

"That king-level two-faced demonic plant, isn't it still alive? Let's go take a look this time."

"Let's do it again!" Lin Hanchuan readily agreed. In the Heavenly Dao Squad, apart from Long Xiaochen, Cao Renjie and Long Xiaoyue were already close to level 30. If they went to the Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon again, they would definitely be able to reach level 30.

Moreover, Lin Hanchuan was just planning to enter the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon after he achieved the first clear of [Demon Plant Master's Obsession].

He had figured out the advancement status of the two-faced demonic plants. The two-faced demonic plants had been growing in the Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon, but the level they reached and the time they reached it were different.

Arriving earlier would prevent the mutation, but it would save Messi and Ronaldo.

Arriving in the middle is the mark of a commander-level mutation.

Finally, the one that arrives is the King-level mutation.

He was very concerned about the first kill of the King-level Two-faced Demon Plant.

It's just a matter of sequence.

After it was finalized.

The Heavenly Path Squad once again entered the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon.

This time, in the central area, I deliberately waited until almost an hour had passed before entering the cave through the portal.

Upon entering, Lin Hanchuan glanced at the information about the two-faced demonic plant through the system.

Just as previously speculated.

The two-faced demonic plant has advanced to become a king-level BOSS!

After securing the first kill of the level 25 King-level mutated two-faced demon plant, the [Demon Plant World] dungeon was released.

The entire Heavenly Path Team looked completely satisfied.

Long Xiaochen, Cao Renjie, and Long Xiaoyue have all reached level 30 and obtained the resources needed for their second class advancement.

It is important to emphasize that even two players of the same class will require different resources to advance to the next level. Players will only receive the resource list provided by the system after they have reached the required level for advancement.

Long Xiaochen obtained a list of fifteen items for his advancement. Apart from ten types of spirit blood and one drop of fairy tear, the other thirteen resources could all be purchased on the market.

Once these items are collected and placed in the storage space, the system will automatically ask if the player wants to upgrade without requiring an application.

Once agreed, the system will immediately reclaim the corresponding resources from the storage space, and the player will then complete the upgrade.

Similar to an upgrade.

The former requires resources, while the latter requires experience.

If you choose not to advance to the next level, you will remain stuck at that level no matter how many experience points you gain.

If you upgrade, the status boost from attribute points will be greatly increased. The most direct manifestation is in combat power. With the same attributes and no equipment, you will directly gain a 30% increase in combat power.

The quantity and quality of resources needed for Cao Renjie and Long Xiaoyue's transformation are similar to those needed for Long Xiaochen. After returning to the city, they can manage to gather them with a little attention.

In addition, due to the team's experience distribution, Lin Hanchuan received 40% of it, taking home the final reward.

So, having come down with the team at level 25, he's now only half an experience bar away from level 30.

On the ranking list of Wangyue City, Lin Hanchuan has already reached the fourth position.

Besides experience points, the King-level Two-Faced Demon Plant also dropped some good items, including two Dark Gold weapons, a priest's staff, and a spear.

Although it lacks any "keywords," the four grooves on it are enough to command a good price in today's market.

I managed to get six demon plant seeds.

The highest rank is six stars (lower grade).

The lowest is four stars, which is considered average.

They can all be sold for a good price.

"Are you at peace with your mindset now?" Lin Hanchuan asked with a smile.

Long Xiaochen, Cao Renjie, Long Xiaoyue, Xingchen.

They were all nodding.

"Then let's focus on the [Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon!"

Arrive at the entrance to the [Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon.

"Please note that there are three requirements to enter this instance..."

"Ding! Please note that since you have completed the highest difficulty level of [Demon Plant World], you can now enter the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon at difficulty level Shura and below."

In the system prompt tone.

Lin Hanchuan began to enter the instance step by step.

"Ding! Please note, do you wish to enter the dungeon—[The Plant Master's Obsession]?"

System: "Please select your entry method!"

……

"Ding! Please note that you are required to enter the Asura-level [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] instance within 30 seconds!"

As the entrance to the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon shimmered, the entire Heavenly Path Team entered one after another.

The moment I opened my eyes.

The surrounding area was filled with a noisy crowd.

It was very similar to when I first entered the [Demon Plant World] instance.

They were standing on a street.

The area is densely populated with people coming and going.

It was very noisy.

"Selling crystals! Top-quality crystals at low prices! Don't miss out!"

"Animal hides, fine animal hides, and some very delicious animal meat. Those who are interested can buy them to improve their family's meals!"

"Mom, I want to become a plant master, a plant master as powerful as the city lord."

“Be a good boy. Plant Masters are not something ordinary families like ours can afford. Besides, your father told your grandfather that you have great potential to become a swordsman. They have already spent money to hire a very powerful swordsman for you!”

"I don't want to be a swordsman, I want to be a plant master! Plant master is the most powerful profession in the world!"

"I heard that the city lord's son has gone missing again!"

"Sigh! The city lord has really gone to great lengths for his son. He has paved the way for him to become a demon plant master, but he still refuses! He really has no idea how many people in the city dream of becoming demon plant masters!"

"They don't know how lucky they are!"

Lin Hanchuan looked around at the tall legs passing by, still wondering why the people in this Asura-level [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon were so tall.

Long Xiaochen's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Team...captain..."

Lin Hanchuan looked over in confusion, but only saw a pair of thighs. Then he looked up and saw Long Xiaochen.

Long Xiaochen looked on in astonishment. "Captain, how did you shrink?"

Lin Hanchuan looked at Long Xiaoyue again. She had a pair of long legs and her breasts were like clusters of peaks. He looked up and then looked up again before he could see half of Long Xiaoyue's face. He was equally shocked, but in that shock, there was also some curiosity.

Along with Lin Hanchuan, his appearance also changed. He became a very young child with a childish face, and you could see the grown-up Lin Hanchuan in his brows.

Cao Renjie quickly squatted down, looked Lin Hanchuan in the eye, and said in surprise, "We were just looking for the captain. Where are you? I didn't expect you to have become so small."

"It must be Melo's [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] mission that turned me into this." Lin Hanchuan hadn't expected this situation either. Looking down, he saw small hands and short legs, but fortunately, as his size decreased, the Desperate Staff also became a staff the thickness of a chopstick, which was just the right size to hold in his hand.

Lin Hanchuan opened the panel.

The property information on the panel has not changed at all.

It seems that only my body size has decreased.

"Brother Huang, you're the same height as me now!" Xingchen, standing to the side, seemed quite happy, looking at Lin Hanchuan at eye level, as if she had finally found a playmate.

Lin Hanchuan could only manage a wry smile.

If he had known that accepting the "Demon Plant Master's Obsession" quest from Melo would make him smaller, he would have simply sent Long Xiaochen to do it.

At this moment, the crowded people suddenly parted to both sides.

"Give way! Give way!"

"The city guards are on official business, please make way!"

Lin Hanchuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of city guards jogging towards them.

Just as Lin Hanchuan was about to subconsciously step aside, the leading city guard stopped in his tracks as he ran up to him.

He glanced down at Lin Hanchuan.

He immediately knelt down, his face full of respect and flattery, and said, "Young City Lord, we've finally found you! Please come back with us quickly! The City Lord is in a great hurry."

"Um?!"

Lin Hanchuan didn't react.

The other party seems to have mistaken me for Messi or Ronaldo.

At that moment, he understood Merlot's dying wish.

The obsession of the plant master?

Is this a way for her to take his place as a plant master?

Just as he thought of this, the system's voice suddenly rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Please note that you have now entered the role-playing mode of Melo and gained some of Melo's childhood memories."

As the system prompted him, Lin Hanchuan's mind immediately flashed back like a rewind, with dynamic images that did not belong to him playing page after page.

Melo Edward is his current name.

Zell-Edward is the name of Melo's father. He is a plant master who received divine inheritance and is also the strongest plant master in Moon Gazing City!
"and many more!"

"Wangyue City?!"

Lin Hanchuan grasped the key points in his memory.

Previously, in the central area of ​​the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon, he saw a stone building that looked remarkably like the residence of the city lord in the Wangyue City Hall.

"Both the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] and the [Demon Plant World] dungeons are located within the territory of Wangyue City."

"The city lord in the dungeon is a plant master, and the city lord in reality is also a plant master."

Is there any connection between the two?

Lin Hanchuan's mind raced.

I'm pondering the connection between the two.

"Young Master Melo, please come back with us!" the city guards who followed behind pleaded. "The city lord is truly worried about your safety!"

In Long Xiaochen's eyes, Lin Hanchuan was still Lin Hanchuan, only smaller.

But in the eyes of the city guards, Lin Hanchuan was Mero, the city lord's only son.

They came out this time on the orders of the city lord to take him back.

“But…” Lin Hanchuan looked up at Long Xiaochen and the others, then looked at Xingchen, and nodded emphatically, “Okay! But I want to take her with me.”

Lin Hanchuan refers to the stars.

"She's my good friend, I want to take her back to play!"

With the other side already identifying him as Messi and Ronaldo, Long Xiaochen and his group couldn't take him away; he was too large, and there was no reason to bring him along.

But the stars can.

He was just a kid who looked about the same age as them, and Anquan could be a playmate; the city guards had no reason to refuse.

The strength of the stars is now incomparable to what it used to be. At crucial moments, a small wish spell combined with a Star Gate can powerfully turn the tide of battle.

“Team…” Long Xiaochen was about to speak.

Lin Hanchuan extended his right index finger and shook it.

"Alright!" The city guard glanced at Lin Hanchuan, then at Xingchen, and agreed immediately without much thought.

The city guards brought over a car, and Lin Hanchuan and Xingchen got in.

Under the watchful eyes of Long Xiaochen and the others.

The carriage slowly drove into the distance.

Their view ahead was then filled again by the crowd.

"I never expected that the city lord's son would actually end up here."

"Oh no, I think I just said something bad about the city lord's son. If he goes home and complains, will I be implicated?"

"Probably not! The city lord is very magnanimous and benevolent; he wouldn't punish us for such a trivial matter."

"That's possible. Melo is his only son. If you say something really harsh, even the city lord will be angry."

"Then I'd better run away quickly! I really can't stay in this place any longer!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, young master Mero will become the next city lord of this city."

"Yes! This city was originally built by the Edward family, and their descendants will be the lords of this city for generations to come."

……

Amidst all this noise.

Long Xiaochen and the other two exchanged glances.

Finally, Cao Renjie spoke up, "What do we do? The boss has already been taken away by the city guards. What are we supposed to do down here?"

Long Xiaochen rubbed his forehead, then looked at Long Xiaoyue, "Sis! Do you have any suggestions?"

Cao Renjie also subconsciously looked at Long Xiaoyue.

Long Xiaochen is unreliable.

Back in District One, Long Xiaoyue was the squad leader when Lin Hanchuan was away, and all actions were carried out according to her orders.

Sometimes you have to admit that Long Xiaoyue is very meticulous and cautious in doing things.

"Follow him!" Long Xiaoyue said, looking in the direction Lin Hanchuan had disappeared. "【The Obsession of the Plant Master】is originally a companion instance of 【Plant World】, and it's mainly story-driven."

"The monsters here, including the city lord, are not very strong. With our current strength, we can easily crush them."

"Break straight into the city hall and rescue the captain?" Long Xiaochen's eyes lit up.

Long Xiaoyue's vision went black, and she said helplessly, "I was just introducing the difference in strength between the enemy and our side in the current instance, not telling you to go and wipe out the city hall right now."

"Before the captain entered the dungeon, he already said that this dungeon operation would be mainly driven by the story."

"We followed them purely to prevent the captain from getting stuck in the storyline and something going wrong. We wanted to be able to provide immediate support and forcefully achieve the first clear of the Asura-level [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon."

Cao Renjie gave a thumbs up and said, "This is a great idea. Let's do it this way. I wholeheartedly agree."

Long Xiaochen had no objections.

So the three of them weaved through the crowded streets and headed straight for the city hall.

……

……

The carriage drove directly into the city hall.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Hanchuan said to Xingchen, "No matter what happens from now on, just follow my instructions."

I just organized the memories of Messi and Ronaldo.

Lin Hanchuan knew that Ze'er was arranging the ceremony for Melo to become a plant master these past two days.

It should be that he needs to change to a more powerful plant master class, otherwise Zell could have just given Melo a job change scroll directly, without needing these complicated job change rituals.

Ze'er and Lin Hanchuan had the same goal—but he wanted Xingchen to become a plant demon master!
We'll see if we can pull off a substitution later.

If Lin Hanchuan fails to clear the [Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon because Xingchen successfully changes to a Plant Master, it doesn't matter; he can simply try again.

"Okay, Brother Huang!" Xingchen nodded obediently, but seeing Lin Hanchuan's mature demeanor, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

The carriage gradually came to a stop.

The voices of the city guards could be heard from outside.

"Young Master Melo, you can get off the bus now!"

Then the curtain was lifted.

Lin Hanchuan led Xingchen out of the carriage. As soon as he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with an angry face and the familiar stone building behind him.

Lin Hanchuan and Xingchen were carried off the carriage by the city guards.

Lord Zell still looked furious.

He spent a lot of money and prepared a lot of things in order to make Melo a plant master. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Melo secretly ran away from the city hall.

If the entire city weren't under their surveillance, it's hard to say when they would have found him.

“Lord City Lord, Young Master Melo has returned safely, so please don’t be angry!” A vine with a red flower at the tip slowly emerged from Zell’s back, acting as a peacemaker. “Since he has returned, he must know that he made a mistake.”

The vines reached over Zell's shoulder and stretched forward to Lin Hanchuan, saying gently, "Mero, come and apologize to your father. He has been very worried about your safety ever since you left."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so willful." Lin Hanchuan readily agreed and took the initiative to apologize.

Although Zell was still angry, his gaze toward Lin Hanchuan softened considerably.

“Lord of the city, Melo is just being naughty! These days, which child his age isn’t naughty? But only your child would take the initiative to apologize.”

The vines coiled in a semicircle in mid-air, the flowers tilting to the side, facing Zell, offering comfort.

These words were indeed very pleasing to Zell.

The serious expression on his face immediately softened considerably.

Looking at Lin Hanchuan, she finally sighed helplessly, "Sigh! You really have no idea how much I paid to make you an excellent plant master."

Lin Hanchuan remained silent.

After talking to himself for a while, Zell squatted down and said with a smile, "Alright, now that you're back, I won't be angry with you anymore."

"Now you just wait here. In two more hours, the ceremony can begin!"

"If the ritual succeeds, you will have the opportunity to become a plant master who surpasses me in the future, or even become the second great plant master god!"

Zell stood up and said something.

"Shinra, keep an eye on him!"

A clump of vines emerged from in front of Lin Hanchuan.

The vines grew wildly, twisting and turning, eventually weaving into a human-shaped outline.

He was an old man.
