Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 179. Final Details and News!

'Hm~ I feel much better.'

Liu Shu looked around her body and roots, feeling the new energy that flowed through her veins. 'I can stretch further without being uncomfortable, hehe~.'

While her roots didn't really have a limit to how far they could go, the further they went, the weaker they became. She had an optimal distance for how far they could go, and if she went over that, the root network might've weakened. Her root limit after reaching Level 14 was 2320 meters from her core.

'Oh? What's happening around the town?'

Liu Shu looked around, and she saw the Rose Fairies wearing new clothes. They all wore pretty red dresses with graceful designs. The color made them look like real Rose Fairies. After all, the red dress complemented their looks quite nicely with their natural white skin, red hair, and ruby-like eyes.

She quickly found Flor, who was resting with Ignatia in her Queen's room and asked. "What is happening?"

Flor blinked. "Oh? You woke up, Liu Shu. How is everything? Do you feel good?"

Liu Shu answered happily. "I do! My stats have grown a lot, too."

Ignatia curled one of Flor's hair locks around her finger and asked. "Well, Liu Shu, since you are awake, we are going to need to open the town soon!"

Liu Shu answered quite unenthusiastically. "Oh."

Flor asked, confused. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong." Then, Liu Shu said with a happy tone. "I'll go check the rest of the things I've unlocked! See you later~... Ah!" Flor and Ignatia looked at the walls, and Liu Shu asked. "How many more materials do we have?"

The Rose Fairy Queen smiled. "There is a list we made in the <Lignified Treasure Vault>."

Liu Shu said enthusiastically. "Nice!" Then, she moved her vision to the vault and started checking on it. 'Oh~, with this, I can do everything in the quest list other than the Stable, Farm, and I need to add three... one more defensive structure... One?"

Liu Shu looked at the [4/5] with a confused gaze. 'Which ones are considered Defensive structures?'

[System Hint: <Mother Of Thousand Flower Field>, <Lignified Defensive Wall>, <Temple Of Summoning>, and <Unnamed>.]

Liu Shu asked again. 'Which one is the unnamed one?'

[System Hint: Location is North.]

'North? OH!' Liu Shu remembered the defensive structure that she had built around her tree mom by the lake's side. 'I see. That one also counts, even though it is so far from me?'

[System Hint: All <Defensive> buildings that are inside your <Domain> count toward your <Quest>.]

Liu Shu hummed. 'I see... Thanks System!' Then, she pondered. 'One more defensive structure. What to build~? Something nice, something that can protect a lot of area~. Hmhm~.'

The World Tree looked around the area, thinking about what to build. 'It needs to be a building. So, it won't be able to move... Can I just create another <Mother Of Thousand Flower Field>? It is quite efficient and powerful.'

Then, she remembered Finnian, and Liu Shu stopped. 'No... I need something to help me with very strong people. I already have the wall and the flower field against hordes of enemies. So, I need something to fight individual enemies.'

Liu Shu's mind began thinking. She planned several things, but nothing came to mind. To get inspiration, she started looking around. Her <World Tree Eye> expanded and went to the outside, searching for answers across the forest. 'Explosive beans? Similar to the flower field. Thorns? It won't really work against a powerful creature. Carnivorous plants? A powerful person won't really fall into that.'
