"..."
Although Niu Ma felt something was amiss, he still extended his tentacle into the tree hollow.
The tentacle groped downward, then imprinted the "Ctrl" and "V" keys onto the annual rings.
A faint "Belief" symbol appeared on the rings, as if it weren't pressed hard enough on the carbon paper.
"Ahhh~"
The French Plane Tree emitted a sound of satisfaction.
Although it didn't substantially increase its strength, having the key to ascend to a higher level of life made it excited beyond measure.
"As long as you're happy. I'm off then."
Niu Ma greeted and prepared to leave.
"Idiotic human, you'd best stay away from that woman. She'll devour you sooner or later."
In a great mood, the French Plane Tree offered a piece of advice.
"Oh."
He responded indifferently.
"You seem not to care at all?"
The French Plane Tree asked, puzzled.
"Indeed not too concerned, I'm leaving."
Niu Ma retracted his tentacle and turned to leave.
