Chapter Seventy-Four: Here Comes the Branch

After reading the file, knowing that he could not achieve the strategy within three months by virtue of his ordinary closeness, Xia Yi gave up staying with Mu Ling all day, but cared more about Mu Ling's secret.

For most of the day, he was doing his own thing while watching the footage from the [camera].

By the end of the first month, he had finally noticed something strange.

In Mu Ling's room, there was a small, potted plant-like thing.

The reason why it's said to be a bonsai and not a potted plant is because it's a twig that is stuck in a pot.

There were still tender green leaves on the branches, and during the month, whenever Mu Ling returned to his room after taking a bath, he had to fiddle with this branch.

In the previous world line, Xia Yi also asked Mu Ling what the branch was, and Mu Ling's answer was that the branch was something she used to practice her abilities.

By keeping the branches in a freshly broken and energetic state, she exercises her mastery of her abilities.

Now, Xia Yi, who has carefully observed Mu Ling's actions, feels that the branches are not as simple as Mu Ling said.

One morning, when Mu Ling was out at work, Xia Yi used the [Master Key] to sneak into Mu Ling's bedroom and pick up the pot of branches from the bedside.

After picking it up, he was sure that the branches were unusual.

[Green Branch: After wearing it, the recovery speed of the injury is greatly increased. After eating, gain +1 agility]

The introduction bar of the props can only be triggered if you see it with your own eyes, otherwise Xia Yi would not have known about it until now.

He fiddled with the branch twice more to find the secret that Mu Ling was hiding inside, but found nothing.

While he was hesitating whether he was too worried, the bedroom door was opened, and Mu Ling walked in.

When she saw Xia Yi, she was only slightly surprised, but after seeing the branch in Xia Yi's hand, her complexion changed greatly.

"Don't touch it!" Mu Ling said loudly.

I had never seen Mu Ling's expression so excited, Xia Yi's heart was shocked, and as soon as his hand shook, the branch fell.

Smack-

The pots were broken, the dirt was scattered, and the roots of the branches were exposed.

Xia Yi stared at the root of the tree, and his heart was cold.

The reason why a branch is a branch is because it is just a branch of a tree, and its root should be a fracture.

However, the root of the branch on the ground is a clump of rhizomes.

No, it's not a rhizome, if you look closely, it's - human hair.

As soon as Xia Yi was about to continue studying the branches, Mu Ling came to him, a green light appeared in her eyes, and a vine grew from her body and pierced Xia Yi's chest.

【Character is Dead】

【Reading or not】

In the black dead space, Xia Yi sat skillfully cross-legged, summing up.

It is certain that the branch is not an ordinary branch, and judging from Mu Ling's violent and direct killing of herself, this branch must be where her sin lies.

Well, all you have to do is investigate the branches!

The long and bumpy road is not terrible, what is terrible is that you can't find the road, and now the road has appeared in front of you!

Read the file!

【Skill Acquisition - Wood Spirit Mark Lv1】

Well? Also gained a skill? Has the ability to be a little master of death activated?

However, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you are about to investigate the secrets of the branches.

So the question is, where is the secret of the branch going to be investigated?

Sitting on the bed, Xia Yi thought about it and found that the road ahead was still dark.

He clicked on the [Wood Spirit Seal].

[Wood Spirit Mark: Proof of the identity of the Wood Spirit, and the affinity for flowers and plants increases]

This skill doesn't seem to be of much use.

In other words, the ability of the [Green Snake Mark] is to manipulate the snake, and the ability of the [Wood Spirit Mark] is the affinity of flowers and plants, can you make up whatever the mark?

Lying on the bed and resting for a while, Xia Yi went to Mu Ling's bedroom.

He didn't go to see Mulling, he went to steal.

What he wants to steal is [Green Branch], the ability to speed up the recovery of injuries, Xia Yi, who has the ability to read files, doesn't care, but the latter one, after eating, can be added to the agile explanation, which makes Xia Yi very excited.

The [Kappa's Ashes] that I saw at Fang Bei's last time should have stolen it, but unfortunately I only thought about clearing the level last time and didn't steal that item.

Using the [Master Key], Xia Yi opened the door of Mu Ling's room and got in.

Without any waves, he successfully obtained the [Green Branch] and picked up the items dropped by the previous world line.

After putting all the props into the [Backpack], Xia Yi was about to click to read the file, but suddenly he thought about it, wondering how Mu Ling would react if he saw that the [Green Branch] was gone.

He set up the camera, opened the door and walked out.

The moment he stepped out of the bedroom, Xia Yi's heart was shocked.

In the hallway, a figure walked by.

That's the old butler.

Seeing Xia Yi coming out of Mu Ling's bedroom, the old housekeeper did not greet him as usual, but showed a gentlemanly smile and walked away.

Relieved, Xia Yi reflected:

In the future, when you enter someone else's bedroom to steal something, you have to install a [camera] outside, and look outside.

Anyway, the old butler thought he was doing something in it?

Back in his bedroom, Xia Yi turned on the computer and looked at the picture in the surveillance.

An hour later, Mu Ling came to the bedroom, she didn't notice the disappearance of [Green Branch] immediately, but after changing her clothes, she found that the head of the bed was empty.

She stood still, motionless for five minutes, her body slowly turning into a piece of wood.

Turning off the computer, Xia Yi clicked on the file.

Coming to the initial point in time again, Xia Yi used the [Master Key] to enter Mu Ling's room and installed the [Camera], and at the same time, he looked at the head of the bed, the branches and potted plants were well placed there, but there was no prop panel popping up again.

This time he didn't meet the old housekeeper, and Xia Yi arrived at the bedroom safely.

Sitting in the bedroom, he took out the Green Branch.

Now the question arises, how to eat this twig itself?

Gnaw straight or deep-fry?

If you can barely eat the branches, the key is the roots of the branches, the big clumps of hair......

Let's put it first, the attribute only has skills when it reaches fifteen points, and now my agility attribute is only ten, it's still early!

Putting the [Green Branch] back in the backpack, Xia Yi felt a sense of satisfaction.

Collecting items in this way is also the fun of the game.

But this is only a side fun, and the key now is how to ask Mu Ling what the secret of this branch is.

While he was thinking, there was a knock at the door, and outside the door were Mu Ling and the little maid, and Mu Ling had come to call him for dinner.

Standing up, Xia Yi calmly ate the meal, and studied in the bedroom for another afternoon, but still didn't think of a good way to ask about the branches.

In the dead of moon, there was a knock on his bedroom door.

It was Mu Ling who came in.

In the previous world line, there was no such plot of meeting at night!

Xia Yi was surprised.
