Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Chapter 10 Trading

ps: I still owe four more chapters today, and there will be another one in the evening. If there are any rewards that have not been counted, they will be counted in the evening update.

"How is the deal?"

Hearing that Ye Qing was willing to make a deal, Beatrice naturally planned to listen to Ye's conditions.

It's always better to talk than to fight, and Beatrice hates using fighting to solve problems.

As a tree demon, she has a relatively gentle temperament. Even if she has lost her tree demon heart, this is still a nature engraved in her bones.

"Since you have lived for so long, you must have heard some rumors about treasures."

As soon as Ye Qing said this, Beatrice understood what she meant.

"You want to exchange information of equal value for the heart of the tree demon? I understand."

As for whether Beatrice would give unreasonably difficult tasks, Ye Qing was not very worried.

The heart of the dryad is still in her hands. At the very least, she has to get the treasure or prove the existence of the treasure before she will return it to Beatrice.

Although Ye Qing's vigilance towards Beatrice has been reduced to a large extent after listening to her story, but as the saying goes, one should be on guard against others, but should not have the intention to harm others.

We will have to get to know Beatrice through our interactions with her to find out what kind of person she is.

Seeing Beatrice reminiscing beside him, Ye Qing simply opened the friend list and looked at Huangfu Wenning's avatar, as if hesitating whether to send her a message.

The slender white fingertips wanted to touch the portrait, but they shrank back as if they had been electrocuted.

Her cheeks flushed unnaturally and Ye Qing deliberately looked away.

No, I'm not shy!

Just when Ye Qing's attention was diverted, Beatrice also remembered the "legend" and gently clasped her hands together, causing Ye Qing to turn his gaze back.

"Speaking of legends, there is indeed such a thing."

"That was back when I was a dryad. It was probably related to the early days of Astra."

Although tree demons usually don't care about worldly affairs, it doesn't mean they know nothing.

On the contrary, the dryads themselves can communicate with ordinary plants. Flowers, plants and trees are their eyes and ears, so Beatrice also knows a lot of things.

"I heard that in the early days of Astra's construction, a battle broke out among humans somewhere in the outer forest."

"The battle itself was small in scale, but the forces involved were quite responsible. Not only were there humans, but there were also dragons, dwarves, and so on."

"And from what I heard, there seems to be a force lingering in the ruins where they fought, but the more reliable theory is that a spiritual being was born inside the ruins."

The moment the words fell, a task appeared in front of Ye Qing.

Legendary Quests:

Time is no longer

Mission Description: Go to the forest outside Astra and explore the remains of past wars.

Mission reward: unknown

When most people see this unknown task reward, they will most likely have expectations for the task and will also be interested in the task itself.

After all, it is an unknown reward, maybe it will be exclusive?

But Ye Qing is different. Based on her experience in many missions in her previous life, unknown rewards also mean that it may be a big pit and she will gain nothing.

but......

Looking at Beatrice's expectant eyes, Ye Qing sighed softly.

"Okay, I'll go check it out first, and then I'll return the Dryad's Heart to you after I confirm it."

"But you must be careful. There are probably some undead ghosts in places like this, although I haven't heard of any in the past hundred years."

Doesn't this warning clearly indicate that there are undead there...

Ye Qing sighed again. She had been dealing with a lot of undead creatures recently.

Whether it is the two exclusive equipment or the lifting of Christine's curse, although the nature of the two is different, they are both undead, which makes Ye Qing wonder if there are too many undead near Astra.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but now it happens again.

Is it just a coincidence? Or is the designer just being lazy?

Unable to figure it out, Ye Qing didn't think too deeply about it. After all, this was the first time she encountered a mission related to the heart of the tree demon.

The companions in the previous life did not figure it out clearly, and now it seems that the mission will not be too easy.

"By the way, isn't this a fruit shop? Do you have any recommendations? I'd like to try some."

Before leaving, Ye Qing suddenly remembered that Beatrice ran a fruit shop, and maybe he could buy some special props there.

Hearing Ye Qing say this, Beatrice smiled and nodded, grabbed a few green fruits from the side, washed them, and stuffed them into Ye Qing's arms.

"Try it. It's free. If you like it, you can come back later~"

I have to say that the virtual reality of Divine Realm Fantasy is not exaggerated.

On the way out of the city, Ye Qing tasted the fruits that Beatrice gave her. The sweet and sour taste and the soft texture on her tongue made her feel that she should patronize Beatrice's business more often in the future.

It tastes like the combination of multiple fruits in real life, but it’s not simply a combination of them.

Only in a fantasy game like this can this kind of feeling be realized, right?

The city gate is still very busy, and many players are still gathering there, constantly challenging the various dungeons that are now open, but so far, there has been no next server-wide announcement.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry~"

Ye Qing was not worried that someone would get ahead of her. After all, with her experience from her previous life, even if someone reached the threshold of the gold challenge reward now, Ye Qing could surpass them.

What's more important now is to go see the place Beatrice mentioned. Ye Qing always felt it was a little strange. If there was such a place in the forest outside Astra, why didn't they discover it before?

Traveling around the outskirts of the forest, there were quite a few players in the wild at this time, but most of them were exploring in all directions, and many of them were still immersed in the feeling of novelty.

Following the navigation on the map, Ye Qing moved quickly in the woods, avoiding players who might be on the road. Ye Qing tried his best not to attract attention to himself.

After approaching the location marked on the map, Ye Qing also saw the scene appearing before his eyes.

In the center of the dense forest, surrounded by several huge trees, there is an extremely clear pool of water. Looking ahead, you can see the bottom of the pool, which is like a mirror, reflecting the sky.

“This place is quite beautiful…”

Ye Qing also climbed to the top of the giant tree before he discovered that there was such a clear pool of water surrounded by these giant trees.

No matter how you look at this place, it doesn't seem like the remains of a battlefield.

Chapter 11 In the Shadows

ps: Thanks to Yueyusama, Tianshanyugu, and Xinxin, who is not worthy of waiting for the boss's reward~

ps2: Today's second update, I find that I owe more and more chapters, and I still owe nine chapters

"I guess... I didn't make the wrong choice, right?"

Ye Qing repeatedly confirmed the markings on the map and found that there was no error with the markings given by Beatrice.

So, the remains of the battlefield are really here.

However, judging from the current situation, this place is more like a hidden "paradise". Ye Qing could not see anything unusual in this dust-free pool.

Sliding down slowly along the trunk of the giant tree, Ye Qing clapped her hands and stepped on the soft grass. The fresh air around her made her feel like she was embracing nature.

This is not an exaggeration. Ye Qing dares to guarantee that people who usually work in the steel jungle of the city will definitely feel reborn if they come to experience the air here in person.

However, Ye Qing did not forget the main business. She began to look around the small pond, trying to find clues related to the war ruins.

But after looking around, Ye Qing didn't find anything related to human creation.

Indeed, this is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land isolated from the world.

If some rare treasure would evolve here, it would be quite consistent with the setting, but Ye Qing did not gain much from this small pond.

Something is wrong.

Ye Qing slowly stood up from the tree trunk, biting the knuckles of her index finger lightly. This was a habit Ye Qing had when she was thinking.

She paced along the edge of the pool, gazing at the mirror-like water and looking at the bottom of the pool that she could see to the bottom at a glance.

The next moment, a silver-white silk thread suddenly appeared in Ye Qing's hand. He wrapped a stone around it and threw it to the bottom of the pool.

Water splashed, and ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake.

But what Ye Qing really cared about finally appeared at this moment. When the witch's spinning carried the stone through the water, it also completely shattered the calm bottom of the pool.

"Sure enough, I was wondering why this paradise didn't even have flowers, birds, fish or insects. It's a bit too quiet!"

Ye Qing watched as the originally calm bottom of the pool disappeared and was replaced by a bottomless pit, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I'm afraid the remains of the so-called war are right under this deep pit.

As to whether there was a pool of water here and these huge trees surrounding it a hundred years ago, it is probably a question.

If there was someone who wanted to hide this place deliberately and had the ability to do it, Ye Qing would definitely suspect Beatrice first.

Just based on her title as the Queen of Dryads, it would not be difficult for her to get those giant trees to close it up.

So now is all this a trap, or does Beatrice really not know?

At this moment, the task prompt appeared in front of Ye Qing.

Legendary mission

Time is no longer

Mission Description: You have arrived at the door to the truth. It is up to you to choose whether to uncover the truth or let it sleep in time.

Warning: Player choices will affect the progress and outcome of the mission, please choose carefully

Come to the door of truth?

What do you mean?

Ye Qing believed that these tasks would not be aimless, and such a description meant that there might really be something hidden at the bottom of the pool.

And this truth is relative to what event?

After thinking it over, Ye Qing first opened the friend list and sent a voice request to Huangfu Wenning.

"Hey?"

"Sister Huangfu, I need to trouble you with something. Are you still running your professional mission?"

Ye Qing did not take back the witch's spinning, but let it continue to sink slowly. She wanted to see how deep the pit was.

Now the witch's spinning has gone down almost halfway, but it doesn't seem to be reaching the bottom.

At this moment, Huangfu Wenning, who was running continuously and performing difficult moves, laughed, and a terrifying figure followed behind her.

"It's almost done... Shirayuki, are you ready?!"

"It's OK!"

Through the voice call, Ye Qing could even hear Huangfu Wenning shouting to Huaze Baixue.

Huangfu Wenning was like a bait, guiding the terrifying figure out of the woods. He was even afraid that the guy couldn't catch up with him, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.

After Ye Qing received the reply, he finally finished spinning the witch's yarn in his hand.

Sunk to the bottom?

Feeling a slight collision, Ye Qing roughly estimated the length of the deep pit.

The witch's yarn was about eight meters long when fully stretched out, and when it touched the bottom, Ye Qing had to put his hand into the pool, which meant that the distance from the bottom of the pool to the surface was even longer than the witch's yarn.

Ye Qing's initial idea was to fix the witch's spinning yarn on the surface if possible, and then tie himself to it and slowly dive down.

It does not seem impossible now, but near the bottom you may have to loosen up temporarily before you can dive down.

Originally thinking that she was dealing with the undead, Ye Qing prepared props such as holy water, but now what she needed was something that could prolong her time holding her breath underwater.

Hua Ze Bai Xue probably has this kind of talismans. If I had known this, I would have bought a batch from her.

Ye Qing sighed softly. The diving time basically depends on physical strength, but Ye Qing's physical strength is only a pitiful thirteen points.

Should I go down, or wait until Huangfu Wenning has found out the truth before asking her to help?

Ye Qing smiled and continued to talk to Huangfu Wenning.
