Chapter 29: A Crazy World

“As expected, it really doesn’t seem to be working well.”

Night gradually fell. For today, Ji Yu’s entire day of meditation only increased the vitality of the oak tree by 0.39 points.

Of course, this was also because Ji Yu had used the ‘Guiding Resonance’ characteristic to simultaneously form the spirits within the 13 oak trees.

Among these 13 oak trees, three of them were the large balls of light which appeared in his sea of consciousness, while the other ten were the small oak trees around him that had protected him for many years.

This process did not consume too much of his vitality. In the seven hours of daytime, it only consumed 0.08 points of vitality which would’ve been added to his oak tree manifestation otherwise.

Without photosynthesis at night, the speed would naturally be slower.

At that, Ji Yu could only sigh.

There was a reason why his meditation speed had been reduced by at least two times.

Ji Yu discovered that during his meditation, many of the benefits sowed were absorbed by the jewel flowers on the tree crown.

Through the stamen of the jewel flowers, it would somehow convert the vitality into the so-called floral fragrance which would then scatter into the surrounding air of the rainforest.

And this was the result of the oak tree manifestation’s ‘Domain Radiation’ characteristic.

It was not difficult to imagine that the people and objects around Ji Yu would start growing crazily after being exposed to the fragrance for a long time.

Although he could not see any effects in a mere day, as time passed, the effects of the domain radiation would gradually become apparent.

Ji Yu did not have much time to lament about this because after he woke up, he could not forget about the incident that happened at his apartment last night.

Thus, after temporarily waking up, Ji Yu immediately continued to meditate while he still had some game time.

——————.

Time was like water, calm to the point that there weren’t any ripples.

In a blink of an eye, another week passed.

During this week, Ji Yu’s oak tree did not change much.

[Opening Oak Tree Status]

[Characteristic 7: Domain Radiation (Low)]

[Characteristic 8: State Activation (Low)]

In addition to the 1.36 points increase in vitality, the oak tree also increased by 5 meters.

The reason why the growth this week was slowed was because the rainforest had entered the rainy season.

For the past seven days, it had rained for four days. Even cloudy days were rare, not to mention sunny ones.

The entire rainforest, with the exception of the high ground where Ji Yu’s oak tree manifestation was located, the rest of the rainforest was completely flooded by the rain.

In some places, the rainwater accumulated was more than a meter deep.

The area above the rainforest was foggy, while the area beneath it was like a flourishing ocean.

As for the food problem of the tribesmen?

Those were transported to them by tribesmen living at the perimeter using small boats.

Although the inner echelons of the tribe were very similar to a primitive tribe, they could not rely solely on hunting for survival.

The rainforest entering the rainy season had completely dashed Ji Yu’s hopes of letting the oak tree break through to level three in a short period of time.

Now, Ji Yu could only entrust his hopes in his second manifestation – for it to surprise him.

However, Ji Yu still felt somewhat comforted during this season.

Within this week, perhaps due to Ji Yu’s ‘Increased Vitality’ characteristic entering the medium level, his body became strong to the point it was almost inhuman.

[Player Condition]

[Good]

[Life Force Level: 1]

[Constitution: 0.82 (Average: 0.5)]

[Height: 1.82 meters (Average: 1.67)]

[Age: 26 years old (Average lifespan: 77)]

[Characteristic 1: Increased Vitality (Medium)]

[Characteristics 2: Nature’s Affinity (Medium)]

Just this week, Ji Yu’s constitution increased by 0.24 points.

Ji Yu had gone to the gym to test his strength. It was an effortless punch, but it reached almost 800 kilograms in force.

Just this number alone was already far beyond the limits of what the world’s widely acknowledged King of Fighters could unleash.

Therefore, when Ji Yu easily exerted 800 kilograms of force, the gym instructor thought that the equipment was broken.

After all, although Ji Yu looked tall now, he was not muscular and still looked like a weak scholar on the surface.

Ji Yu was now 1.82 meters tall.

And it was achieved within a mere week.

This scared Ma Hongyu, who was going to open a shop with him.

Ma Hongyu even thought that Ji Yu was suffering from gigantism.

But when he searched online, he found out that the signs of gigantism only appeared before puberty and never after.

Ma Hongyu almost jumped in shock.

This guy read a lot of novels. Combined with Ji Yu’s amazing animal disposition, there was a point when he thought of Ji Yu as the protagonist of a novel.

He crowded Ji Yu and asked him if he had awakened his superpower.

All in all, Ji Yu was in a dilemma.

Although Ji Yu refused to admit anything, Ma Hongyu kept saying that he understood.

His expression was as devious as it could get.

Speaking of which, although Ma Hongyu was a little unreliable, he was very attentive and serious about opening a pet shop.

The pet shop was already undergoing urgent renovations. It would be open for business in less than half a month.

However, Ji Yu’s attention was not on the pet shop. Instead, he was focused on the news about the oak tree.

Because, just yesterday, Vanni Campbell and the other people from West York had officially started a public discussion.

And they were promoting Ji Yu’s oak tree manifestation.

Now, all the media in the world were competing to report about the Tree of Mystery in the rainforest and the Druid Church Group.

Around the world, three other oak trees which were old and heavily protected, became an important front for reporting for the media as well.

The three oak trees did not disappoint the media.

The three oak trees have grown almost 20 meters in a week, according to data from the oak tree’s protection group.

Such an exaggerated sight naturally attracted the attention of the media.

At this moment, almost all the news on the internet was occupied by headlines related to Oak Trees, Tree of Mystery, and so on.

When they woke up, many people even thought that the world had become magical.

Thinking about the Purple Moon and the magical sight of the Tree of Mystery residing in the depths of the rainforest, everyone went crazy.

Recently, international flights to Armarica and Barna’s Federation were almost entirely booked.

Regarding this, as the cause of it, Ji Yu was slightly worried.

After all, the various countries had yet to express their stance on the Tree of Mystery. It was hard to say what would happen in the end.
