I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 84: Angel Gem

‘Since you can’t practice for a long time, use it for short-term battles. The professor who came up with this item is quite flexible!’

This product was excellent, and Lin Yao placed an order right away.

Although Lin Yao was accustomed to electric current stimulation, had learned to unlock the gene lock, and was able to stimulate his body with electric current by himself, such stimulation would consume his vital energy. If he had this product, it would be very convenient to use the electric current on the combat suit.

‘Under normal circumstances, I can hold on for a longer time than ordinary people. In fact, when my body is strong enough to control thunder and lightning in the future, I could turn it on from time to time.’

Lin Yao discovered that this combat suit was an industrial product, and Ninghai City also had such products. Upon making this discovery, he immediately used the opportunity given by Ninghai City to apply for gold resources.

‘This way, I am only left with three opportunities to apply for resources. I still have two gold resources and one diamond resource. Although the diamond opportunity was given to me by Ninghai City, they promised to search for the resources I require across the country.’

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yao felt at ease with the resources allocated to him. He did not need to feel bad about it.

What had happened last night had made Lin Yao realize that the crisis was not far from the city.

The mysterious land hidden in the darkness of the city was like a time bomb for all the major cities. After the geniuses graduated, they would not be able to live in peace, and they would have to enter the mysterious land to fight.

One could easily die in such a battle. In order for geniuses like Lin Yao to risk their lives for everyone, the country would naturally provide them with resources. Lin Yao did not hesitate in the slightest to take the resources that he needed to risk his life in the mysterious land.

Although he had purchased a weapon and a protective suit, he did not plan on keeping the remaining three opportunities for future use. Instead, he intended to use all of them.

Lin Yao decided to use his third opportunity to make up for his shortcomings.

‘Sunlight absorption is very powerful. However, it can only be effective during the day. I need an item that can store light energy. Only this way will I not be sluggish at night.’

This time, Lin Yao decided not to choose gold resources but to apply for diamond resources instead.

‘Sunlight absorption is my strong foundation, and I need to do my best to improve it.

‘I will search nationwide for diamond-level, light-based treasures that can store light energy.’

As he thought of that, the interface he saw changed. Very soon, Lin Yao saw a series of items that could store light energy.

The first item that he saw was a set of gold battle armor.

It was an entire set of battle armor with the head of a roaring lion king engraved on the chest. Lin Yao clicked on it and information regarding the battle armor was displayed on the screen.

[Leo Battle Armor]

[Level: Diamond]

[Description: This armor came from a pyramid mystic realm. It is battle armor enshrined at the top of the pyramid as a divine object, so it absorbs light every day.]

[Ability: The battle armor has strong defensive power. It can resist shell bombardment and can also consume energy to summon the image of the lion king and direct or ride it to kill the enemy with the user. At the same time, the gems on the battle armor can store light energy to heal the user’s injuries and increase the power of the user.]

[Note: The battle armor is made using ancient methods and weighs 1,500 kilograms. It is not recommended for low-level martial artists.]

‘Forget it.’

Lin Yao dismissed the idea of buying the battle armor, which weighed 1,500 kilograms, right away. He then continued to browse and saw a second item that could store light energy. It was a mirror.

This golden mirror was similar to a magic weapon. It could absorb the light of the sun and also release it to kill enemies. It could even turn into a small sun to illuminate its surroundings.

‘This is a good ability. Let me note it down.’

Lin Yao was pleased by the second treasure. He then continued to browse and widened his eyes upon seeing the third treasure.

‘The Sun Flying Boat! Is it possible to build such an aircraft?’

The third treasure was an aircraft made of special materials used by the country that could absorb and store light energy. The entire aircraft was not big. It was slightly smaller than a fighter jet. According to the above description, this aircraft was driven by solar energy, and the highest speed it could reach was 5. What surprised Lin Yao was that, as mentioned above, there were offensive weapons in the Sun Flying Boat, and it could consume light energy to launch laser cannons.

‘Is it possible to redeem something like this over here? The access rights of a diamond rating are higher than I thought.’

Lin Yao continued to browse and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Although there were no useful items, there were too many attractive items. The Leo Battle Armor, the Sun Golden Mirror, the Sun Flying Boat, the Golden Spear, the Golden Buddha… Every item was very powerful, and Lin Yao felt like buying them all.

Unfortunately, he was not allowed to do that.

While Lin Yao was searching for diamond resources, he also searched for tree species. Since he’d first been given the opportunity to apply for diamond resources, he had been wanting to use it in exchange for Bodhi Tree leaves.

The diamond exchange opportunity was indeed very special. He could not see any Bodhi Tree leaves in the gold resources, but he could exchange the diamond opportunity for five resources. That meant that he had five epiphany opportunities. Of course, to Lin Yao, planting the Bodhi Tree leaves was more important.

‘If I have a quantity of tree species, I won’t need to think too much and I will exchange and plant it right away. Unfortunately, I don’t have a tree species quantity anymore.’

Lin Yao felt sad about the empty tree species quantity. Of course, he could use the opportunity in the future. He thought about it for a while and decided to use it now.

‘It is indeed feasible to use this opportunity in the future. However, I will not be able to improve as fast as I want. I should use the resources to become stronger and find a way to obtain another opportunity to exchange it for resources in the future.’

Apart from this, Lin Yao was thinking about something else. After he planted the Bodhi Tree leaves, there were many things he’d have to do.

Even ordinary trees needed sunlight, land, and water to grow. The Bodhi Tree, also known as the Tree of Enlightenment, had more demanding growth requirements. Apart from obtaining the tree species, Lin Yao would also have to find ways for the Bodhi Tree to grow.

‘If I plant a Bodhi Tree leaf and do not take good care of it, it will only give me a clear-headed buff[1]. The Bodhi Tree controlled by China has been growing for thousands of years. If I want my Bodhi Tree to have a similar effect, I’ll have to spend a lot of money on it. It would need a lot of energy to grow. Besides, I don’t have many resources.’

The Tree of Light was a light-based tree, while the Tree of Heaven Punishment was a thunder-based tree. Lin Yao could use the light spar and thunder crystal instead of his energy value to aid in their growth. However, the Bodhi Tree might need to absorb the energy of a wisdom crystal. He had no idea if there was such a crystal. Even if there was one, crystals that could increase one’s wisdom were definitely not for sale.

Without ordinary growth materials, Lin Yao could only use his energy value to plant trees. Although there were many ways to obtain energy value, the stronger one was, the easier it was to obtain energy value. Therefore, instead of keeping them to exchange them for Bodhi Tree leaves in the future, Lin Yao decided to use the diamond resources to become more powerful.

It would be useless to have Bodhi Tree leaves without any energy value.

After making a decision, Lin Yao looked through the light-based items. While he was browsing, he realized something. The modern industry aside, among the things produced in the mystic realm, items that contained light energy were often made from gold. As a result, Lin Yao believed that gold was related to the sun.

‘Why am I thinking about this? I should be thinking about which treasure to choose… Wait, an Angel Gem?’

[Angel Gem]

[Level: Diamond]

[Description: The military discovered that legends are circulating in every mystic realm. According to the legends, disasters took place in ancient times. There were landslides and magma eruptions, and demons appeared with the intention of destroying the world. Later, angels from heaven came down to seal the demons in a silent volcano. After investigating, our staff found that demons were indeed sealed in the inactive volcano. However, no trace of angels was found. There was nothing except for this gem, which had remained in the center of the seal. According to our conjecture, this gem is probably an angel seal. An angel might have exhausted its energy while sealing the demons, burning everything into a gem of light and becoming the core of the seal.]

[Ability: As an angel’s legacy, this gem can absorb light, and there is a huge amount of light energy stored in it. This energy is positive energy, which can heal injuries and purify pollution.]

To be honest, among the many diamond-level treasures, the Angel Gem was not considered an outstanding item. It might be able to store a lot of light energy, but in terms of function, the Sun Flying Boat, which could fly and attack, and the Sun Golden Mirror, which could temporarily turn into the sun and allow light to descend on the earth, were much more useful. In fact, even the Leo Battle Armor was stronger than the Angel Gem. After all, the former could also summon a lion mount, while the Angel Gem could only be used to store energy.

However, Lin Yao decided to get it after contemplating it.

‘Although my Tree of Light is the fruit of the Golden Tree of Light, it can only advance to the silver level, as it is malnourished. That is its limit. Originally, I wanted to use natural energy for the tree to advance, but it now seems that I don’t need natural energy. I can still make up for the weak foundation of the Tree of Light.’

This was why Lin Yao chose the Angel Gem. He wanted to make up for his weak foundation.

Although trees in nature had their innate limits, some special treasures could help trees break through these limits. In this case, the Angel Gem could complement the Tree of Light.

So far, Lin Yao had spent two opportunities to apply for gold resources and one opportunity to apply for diamond resources, and he did not intend to leave the remaining two chances for future use.

After making his choice, he used the last two chances in exchange for resources, choosing a [Large Capacity Electrical Energy Storage Crystal] and [Three Blessed Beads].

[1] Buff is a term used in some video games to describe increases in the power of a game element.
