Chapter 10
It wasn't until the tip of the moon that the two had a thorough discussion on the specific disposal of Mu Xin. In the middle, Zhang Gan was ordered by his mentor to make tea more than once, but he dared not complain at all.

Although the holly wood core is complete, relatively rare, and a relatively precious material, it is nothing to the Mage Guild.If it is sold directly, it is difficult to sell at a high price, because the tree is relatively young, so it is only 5 to 8 silver coins at most. A high price of about one silver coin!

So he gave Ji Youcai two choices.

One, sell the wooden core directly to him.

Two, cooperate with him, he processes and sells, and the money they get is divided [-]-[-].

But there is one thing, the processing has a certain probability of failure, which will reduce the value of the wood core, so if you choose the latter, you should also be responsible for sharing part of the loss.

However, Ji Youcai still chose the former. Although he knew that the latter method was more profitable, on the one hand, processing and selling would take time, and on the other hand, there was also the risk of loss. His goal was to develop steadily and rapidly, which did not meet his requirements.

Therefore, he sold this holly wood core to Zhang Zhiyuan for 6 silver coins. Although he knew he had lost money and felt a little distressed, he did not regret it.

Although he is a bit greedy for money, he can clearly distinguish the priorities of things. His goal is to grow up as soon as possible, set foot on the top of the world, and find the way back, instead of just running around here and worrying about every detail.

Because he had money, Ji Youcai spent two silver coins to extend the rent of the hotel for half a month, and then began a life of two points and one line from the small town to the lumber camp.

No distractions, time flies.

Until one day a week later, when he handed over a promised 50-year-old holly wood core to Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan, who was clearly worried, stopped him.

"Have you been staying at the logging camp for a while? Have you encountered any strange things?"

"What's the matter?" Ji Youcai was taken aback for a moment, he was so busy with gaining experience to restore the collection technique to normal, he didn't pay attention to other things at all.

"Have you been to the Adventurer's Guild? Didn't you read the investigation mission above?"

"Because the guild doesn't have any suitable tasks for me, I haven't been there for a long time. What kind of investigation task?"

"The branch president of the carpenters' union in this town personally released it to investigate the strange death of trees around the logging site in recent days."

"Trees are dying strangely?"

"That's right, from the top of the tree to the roots, from the leaves turning yellow and falling off to the complete decay of the whole tree, it only takes three days for all the changes. Moreover, no matter any part of this dead tree, you only need to rub it lightly. It will be completely turned into fly ash! Because only trees have this symptom, and the number of dead trees is gradually increasing. The president is afraid that this is a strange disease that will only spread among trees, so he has spent a lot of money on risky The author released an investigation mission, I think if you have any clues, you can try to accept this mission. Because if this situation is allowed to continue, it will not only affect you and me, but also the carpenters, woodcutters and other guilds, and even small The reputation of the town can also have negative reviews."

After listening to his explanation, Ji Youcai suddenly remembered his harvesting technique for no reason. After activating the gathering technique, after he chose to stop the skill, although he would not get items, he did get something from the trees.

The most obvious one is the "double reward for skill consumption" that can be superimposed. According to the law of energy conservation, one party will definitely get it if one consumes it. Excited!
So it must be me or something from the trees!

The skill introduction says that if the skill is successfully terminated, half of its "power of existence" can be obtained from the collected object. Is it this?

Although the tree that has been harvested with half of its power of existence will not die on the spot, it cannot rely on the remaining power of existence to continue to survive afterwards, so there is such a strange situation of withering?

Although this is just his own guess, Ji Youcai has an inexplicable certainty in his heart that this is the truth.

Therefore, after hearing Zhang Zhiyuan's words, he felt a little uneasy, and his heart became more urgent to restore the harvesting skills to normal state as soon as possible.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Zhiyuan, Ji Youcai went to the Adventurer's Guild, and sure enough, he saw the investigation task issued by the president of the Carpenter's Union on the mission announcement wall inside the guild. And the task reward is indeed not low, a full fifty silver coins!It is equivalent to Ji Youcai's 5000 yuan in real life!

This kind of investigation task is a bounty task. Whoever finds the clues and completes the task first can get the bonus, so anyone can accept it, and there is no limit on the number of people and the level of adventurers.

After reading it, Ji Youcai turned around and left - if the matter was really caused by his own skills as he guessed, it would make no difference whether he took the task or not, since he couldn't finish it anyway!
He wouldn't be so stupid as to throw himself into a trap!
However, you still have to hurry up!Although they can only be collected successfully once a day at most, because there are a few of high vintage and high quality, the money earned this week is almost one gold coin, which is enough for the time being!

After thinking about it, he turned around and accepted the investigation task, then returned to the carpenters' union, found Zhang Zhiyuan, and excused him to complete the investigation task with all his strength, so he would stop collecting wood cores for the time being, and asked him to forgive him.

He didn't care, and told him to be careful, and then hurried to his own business. The swordsmen's guild's wooden sword mission has come to an end, but he still has the wooden core that Ji Youcai sold him this week to deal with. So there is not much free time.

Because he knew about the investigation mission, Ji Youcai observed all the way, and he found that there are few people on the road from time to time searching. In the woods that he helped Zhang Gan transport the wood to restore his energy and energy. Some trees are dead, and there are many adventurers looking for clues.

When he arrived at the lumberyard, there were also many people who were investigating Ji Youcai's development.

This situation may have happened before, but I was too focused, so I didn't notice it.

It seems that the next action should be more careful!
The negative experience value on the skill panel is only in the early [-]s. If you work hard, you can completely eliminate the negative experience in three days, clear your body of alien breath, and use the harvesting technique normally without being found abnormal!

So now, what I need is to be low-key, low-key and low-key, as long as I pretend to be a normal investigation.

……

Four days later in the morning, Ji Youcai stopped the skill that was about to be completed in his hand, feeling the energy that was coming back, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he let out a long breath as if he was relieved from a heavy burden.

"Successful suspension of skills! Skill experience +1! All negative experience disappears, and the host's alien atmosphere is completely cleared! Gathering skills return to normal! You can collect items normally to gain experience and improve your skill level!"

Innate skills: Gathering skills (the skills you are born with are gifts and gifts from God).

Skill introduction: You can collect the items you want to get at will.

Skill level: ninth level.

Skill Level: Tier [-] and Tier [-].

Skill experience: 0/100.

Skills come with special effects: After the skills are upgraded, special effects can be added. The special effects are divided into active activation type and passive continuous type.

Actively stimulated special effects:

Special Effect [-]: Not activated (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special effect [-]: Inactive (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special Effect [-]: Not activated (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special effect [-]: Not activated (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special Effect [-]: Not activated (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special effect [-]: Inactive (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special effect [-]: Inactive (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special Effect [-]: Not activated (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Special Effect [-]: Not activated (can be viewed after activation, activation requires skill level [-]).

Passive persistent effects:
Information collection: When you focus on an item (including but not limited to inanimate items), you can obtain basic information about the item. When the skill is activated, the amount of information obtained increases, and detailed information about the item can be obtained.

Additional notes: Active activation special effects can be upgraded, while passive continuous special effects cannot be upgraded.

Note 1: Each activation of a special effect is equivalent to a skill level upgrade. When all special effects are activated, the skill can be called a ninth-level skill!
Note 2: The active activation of the special effects of the corresponding grade needs to reach the level corresponding to the grade!The first level can activate the special effect one; the second level and the second level can activate the special effect two; the third level and the third level can activate the special effect three... and so on, the ninth level and the ninth level can activate the special effect nine!

The changes are not very big. It can be said that there are only two changes. One is that the skill upgrade experience can be displayed normally, and the other is that there is an extra note [-] at the end.

Although I don't know the reason why the activation of the special effects in Note [-] needs to be set in this way, Ji Youcai believes that with the improvement of the skill level, he will be able to uncover the veil of the collection technique and let everything come to light!
