Chapter 2117 Faction Selection
Sandy was stunned for a moment and asked, "What ancient tree? What did you say?"
Glennan took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and pointed to a place deep in the cave.
"There used to be a withered ancient tree there. Mr. Yule told us that this withered tree was once a branch of the sacred tree that protected the tree spirits. It was also a trace of the tree spirits' existence."
"The sacred tree once blessed this land, but now, the branches of the ancient tree have completely withered and become what it is now."
Fang Heng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and looked deep into the cave in the direction Glennan pointed.
There, a dead tree more than three meters high stood.
The leaves had long since fallen, leaving only a bare trunk and a few dry branches.
It has completely lost its vitality.
At this time, a large number of colorful electric wires were entangled on the branches of the dead tree like tentacles.
Fang Heng frowned, feeling suspicious.
It looks like Wanling Technology is conducting some special detection on the ancient trees?
The game prompts then appear on your retina.
[Tip: The player’s current task completion rate has been increased to: 45%].
[Tip (triggered by special rewards): The player has currently completed the lowest level of tasks that can be submitted. Since the difficulty of this task is too high, it is recommended to choose to retreat immediately].
Fang Heng glanced at the suggestions given by the game.
It’s only 45% and you’re suggesting it’s over?
Not accepted!
Fang Heng continued to observe the situation below.
It seems that the researchers of Wanling Technology Company are very interested in this dead tree, and all the experimental equipment are built around the ancient tree.
So what are they going to do?
While thinking, Fang Heng noticed a group of people walking towards the entrance of the cliff cave not far away.
The middle-aged man in the lead stopped.
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the entrance where they were.
The dozen or so guards following behind him also stopped immediately and stood around him, taking a guarded stance.
"Haha, an intruder... I was a little surprised when I received a report of a suspected intrusion. I didn't expect someone would actually invade Wanling Technology Company. I haven't seen anyone interesting in a long time."
"It looks like you are not from the tree spirit clan, right? Are you from the Tree Speaker Alliance? I knew you might come, but I didn't expect you to come in this way."
The middle-aged man looked up at the cliff with a gentle and elegant smile on his face. "Let me introduce myself first. I am Ji Haiting, the executive director of Wanling Technology Company. I have never had a chance to have a good talk with you. I think there may be a big misunderstanding between us. In fact, our Wanling Technology Company is very willing to cooperate with you."
"After all, we all live in the same world, don't we?"
Fang Heng and his companions who were hiding on the high cliff looked at each other.
Mo Jiawei asked: "Fang Heng, it seems we have been discovered, what should we do?"
"I'll go over and talk to him. You guys stay here to prevent any accidents."
Clevie said softly, "Brother Fang Heng, I also want to go down and take a look. I sense some natural aura fluctuations coming from that dead tree."
"Okay, follow me and be careful."
Fang Heng glanced at Clevie, then stood up from the cliff, revealed his figure, and jumped down the cliff.
Clevie followed behind Fang Heng and slowly floated down from mid-air.
The moment Fang Heng landed, the guards behind Ji Haiting all cast vigilant glances at Fang Heng.
The guards immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and raised their weapons at Fang Heng. Seeing this, the surrounding scientific researchers quickly stepped aside.
Unlike the security guards outside, the group of guards gathered around Ji Haiting wore uniform clothes but were not equipped with any weapons.
Fang Hengduo glanced at the group of guards.
These people's clothes are a bit strange.
It looks like a one-piece garment with streamlined lines and a diamond-shaped crystal pattern slightly above the center of the abdomen.
Very strange.
It doesn't look like a fashionable style at all, and it doesn't fit in with the attire of ordinary security guards.
"Don't be so nervous, we're just talking."
Ji Haiting raised his hand slightly, signaling the guards behind to put down their guns. He continued to look at Fang Heng and said, "Thank you for your trust. We will also show our sincerity."
[Tip: The player's charm value takes effect, and the player gains additional initial friendliness from Ji Haiting].
Fang Heng took a look at the game prompts and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Instead of gaining the friendship of the Tree Speaker Guild, I gained the favorability of the enemies?
What is going on?
Fang Heng stared at Ji Haiting and asked, "Wanling Technology Company? What are you doing here?"
"As you can see, we are doing some basic scientific research. In fact, in recent years, our Wanling Technology Company has been conducting research on the tree spirits, and has made some insignificant breakthroughs. At present, we are analyzing and simulating the seeds of the source of power we have found, and have locked in an area where similar power exists..."
"It became much easier after that. We hired a scientific expedition team and an exploration team to search the area we had designated, and we soon found the ruins."
Ji Haiting spread his hands and said, "Well, actually according to what you said, we all came here to find the tree spirits, to find the ancient sacred tree."
As Fang Heng listened, he felt something in his heart and looked at the ancient tree deep in the cave behind Ji Haiting.
"Ancient sacred tree? Is this it?"
"It? No, of course not." Ji Haiting shook his head and said, "It is far inferior to the ancient sacred tree, and it has already withered. However, we have confirmed that it does have some relationship with the ancient sacred tree."
Fang Heng raised his head and pointed towards the withered tree. "Since it's already withered, what are you still doing to it?"
"Detection." Ji Haiting explained calmly, and continued: "We are detecting the activity of the withered ancient tree. We want to try to revive the ancient tree completely. What do you think? Are you interested? Perhaps we can cooperate? Why not consider it?"
[Tip: Player triggers side quest - cooperation invitation].
Task name: Invitation to cooperate.
Task difficulty: D (decision-making task).
Mission description: Wanling Technology Company has invited you to cooperate with them to explore the secrets of the ancient sacred tree. If the player accepts the invitation, the mission line of the Tree Speaker Alliance will be interrupted and the contribution points, reputation, etc. of the Tree Speaker Alliance will be cleared, and the friendship of some characters will be affected.
[Tip (triggered by early special rewards): It is recommended that players choose to cooperate with the Tree Speaker Alliance. Choosing this quest line will greatly shorten the process and overall mission difficulty].
Fang Heng took a look at the task prompt.
Faction selection tasks.
Originally he would have to hesitate, but now he doesn't need to.
The game has already given a clear indication.
