Chapter 16 - Double Reward!

At the reward exchange place, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao looked around, but Ye Zhiyuan was not there. Only Lin Sen was there.

Elder Zhao was curious and asked Lin Sen.

"Kid, where's the young lady?"

"The two of you should be here to exchange for rewards, right?"

Elder Zhao had a good opinion of both Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan.

Seeing the two well-regarded juniors working together, Elder Zhao had the intention to matchmake them.

After Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan left the Mystic Realm Fragment, Ye Zhiyuan left and never came back.

Only Lin Sen was waiting to exchange for the reward.

Therefore, when he did not see Ye Zhiyuan return, Elder Zhao could not matchmake both of them even if he wanted to.

Elder Zhao and Elder Hua did not know, but Lin Sen knew.

At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan probably did not want to stay here anymore because her heart was too conflicted. She wanted to be alone.

Elder Zhao's wait was destined to fail.

However, Lin Sen did not betray Ye Zhiyuan. Instead, he covered for her.

"Classmate Zhiyuan has something on…"

Lin Sen did not elaborate on what it was about. The more he said, the more loopholes there would be.

He simply said that Ye Zhiyuan had something on, so he left.

This gave Elder Zhao and Elder Hua ample space to think and let the two elders think for themselves.

Elder Zhao was a little vexed because of Ye Zhiyuan's departure. It was not easy for him to be interested and wanted to play the role of a matchmaker, but in the end, he encountered such a thing and felt a little defeated.

However, Elder Hua caught some information from Lin Sen's words.

"Kid, are you addressing her affectionately as Zhiyuan?"

Elder Hua looked at Lin Sen with a smile and began to tease him.

Elder Zhao, who felt defeated because of what had just happened, suddenly perked up when he heard this.

Elder Zhao looked at Lin Sen thoughtfully.

"Kid, it seems like the two of you have a close relationship?"

"At first, I thought that Ye Zhiyuan, that young lady, was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see you die alone in the Wild Beast's Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, so she teamed up with you."

"But from the way you addressed her as Zhiyuan…"

Elder Zhao deliberately did not finish his sentence. He stopped at this point, making people's imagination run wild.

Lin Sen felt uncomfortable being teased by the two old men.

He admitted that he had some feelings for Ye Zhiyuan. After all, he was a normal man. It was inevitable that he would have feelings for a beautiful girl.

However, it was really different from what the two old men had guessed. At the moment, they were just ordinary friends…

To cover his embarrassment, Lin Sen decided to change the subject.

The topic to change to was naturally about the exchange of rewards.

"Elder Zhao, Elder Hua, I want to exchange for rewards!"

When Lin Sen said this, the two old men became serious. They no longer had the teasing smiles from before.

Elder Zhao checked the relevant information and said.

"Kid, considering that you've obtained a superb evaluation for the most difficult Wild Beast's Cave Mystic Realm Fragment of the large Mystic Realm Fragments, which at the same time, is also the best result so far, you have obtained a double reward!"

A double reward?!

When Lin Sen heard this, his breathing quickened.

Lin Sen did not need to use his points to exchange for this reward. Instead, it was a reward from the school for clearing the Mystic Realm Fragment and obtaining outstanding results!

Elder Hua nodded and reminded him, "Currently, you can obtain two new lord skills and two new plants!"

Two new skills!

Two new plants?!

Lin Sen clenched his fists tightly.

This reward was already very luxurious for him!

The only skill Lin Sen had at the moment was Rapid Planting, which was a huge help to him.

If he did not have this Rapid Planting skill when he was facing the Wild Beast's Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, while he could have used Ye Zhiyuan's birds to sow a large number of Potato Mine seeds, the seeds that were sown would not have grown!

It was undoubtedly a time-consuming task for Lin Sen, if he did not have the Rapid Planting skill, to grow these seeds.

It was very likely that when Rat King had whipped Lin Sen's corpse countless times, not even a tenth of those Potato Mines would have sprouted!

The three plant seeds he had obtained previously had an important role.

The Nine Leaf Sword Grass allowed him to obtain a superb evaluation in the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment, while the Potato Mines and Parasitic Thorns allowed Lin Sen to successfully clear the Wild Beast's Cave Mystic Realm Fragment and obtain a superb evaluation. It also made Ye Zhiyuan look at him in a different light!

It could be said that currently, Lin Sen's skills and plants were all very useful!

"Then, start to make your choice!"

Elder Hua instructed Lin Sen that he could choose two skills and two plants from the existing fixed inventory!

"I'm very curious. What kind of skill will you choose?"

The first choice was the lord skill!

As the name suggested, the lord skill was one that only lords could use.

After a lord used it, it would either increase the lord's own strength or increase the strength of the lord's subjects.

"It's time for a very conflicted choice again!"

Lin Sen's gaze swept across the countless skills.

Choosing a skill was the same as choosing a plant. Getting a good combination was very important!

He could choose two skills and Lin Sen could do a simple combination!

After scanning for a long time, Lin Sen finally confirmed two skills.

"The first skill, I choose Jungle Leap!"

Jungle Leap was a skill exclusive to Plant Lords. Wherever the vegetation covered, the lord's movement speed would greatly increase. At the same time, it could teleport short distances.

Seeing Lin Sen's first selection, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Sen's choice was excellent.

As a Plant Lord, Lin Sen had already possessed Rapid Planting previously. This meant that Lin Sen could sow plant seeds in a short period of time, creating a dense vegetation terrain.

Coupled with the Jungle Leap ability, Lin Sen could become very agile and could attack, retreat, and defend.

"The second skill, I choose [Plant Partner]!"

After Lin Sen said his choice, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao looked like they had expected it.

Jungle Leap could give Lin Sen, the lord, an extremely agile ability. What Lin Sen lacked now was an attack method!

As a lord, summoning his subjects to fight was a very orthodox battle method.

However, the strength of the lord was also very important.

Many times, if the lord could not summon his subjects in time, the lord would have to participate in the battle himself.

The Plant Partner ability allowed Lin Sen to use various plants as his combat weapon.

To put it simply, flowers and leaves could hurt people, and grass, bamboo, and stones could be used as swords!

In particular, the higher the potential of a plant and the higher its level, the more damage it could cause as a weapon!

"Next, it's the choice of plants. I choose the Iron Birch Tree and the Walking Grass!"

Lin Sen had carefully selected these two plants.

The Iron Birch Tree had a very powerful defensive ability.

The aged Iron Birch Tree was like an iron wall in front of him, forming a solid shield.

As for the Walking Grass, it might not look promising, but if this thing grew up, it could become the legendary Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower. It would be a capable subordinate.

These two plants needed a long time to cultivate and it would take a long wait before they could achieve the strategic configuration that Lin Sen wanted.

However, Lin Sen had the Seed of Amplification, so he could ignore this process!

Under Elder Hua and Elder Zhao's puzzled gazes, Lin Sen chose a combination of plants that they could not understand. They were the Iron Birch Tree and the Walking Grass.

In the end, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao could not understand Lin Sen's choice as they watched him depart.
