I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1681 The Trees Are Ripe To Harvest!

[Hmm… So, itʼs going to be a war of wealth…] Hye realised what Silverlining was trying to tell him.

[Tell me, what do you want to know exactly? Do you need me to secure a safe way out of this battle for you?]

[I may need that, thanks] Hye didnʼt ask for his help to do that, but he wouldnʼt say no to such an offer, [I want to know when the war will start]

[Hmm… That depends on who is going to launch the first bullet… Itʼs hard to give a definite answer for that…]

[A rough answer is better than nothing] Hye knew this was going to be a colossal war, so it was hard to tell when it would start. But just from this, Hye already expected a relaxed timeline for him, the best result he hoped for.

[Give them six months!] Yet the answer that Silverlining gave was something that went beyond his wildest expectations. He thought theyʼd not stand for longer than three months, ending up having six if not more.

[This…]

[If you want a way out, I can try my best. As if smugglers arenʼt in that world]

[Do you have a way to contact them?] Hyeʼs attention instantly shifted towards this point.

[Do you need them this desperately? I once had many deals with such shady people. But be aware, theyʼll sell their mothers for whoever will pay higher]

[I wonʼt limit my life to such people] Hye wasnʼt a fool to trust criminals, [I want them for something else?]

[Donʼt tell me… Are you still after crystals?]

[Itʼs not like you supplied me with them and I said no] Hye blamed the Toranks race by such a sentence, something that Silverlining knew he didnʼt have a word against.

[Anyway, if you want, give me a week…]

[Donʼt take a month to return to me!]

[Since when did I act this way? Come on! Iʼm a man with a reputation I have to protect!]

[I know, Iʼm just saying…]

[Iʼll return to you in a week. You only want crystals, right?]

[Thatʼs what I need]

Hye closed the chat with him after speaking a little more. According to Silverlining, the Toranks were preparing for war as well.

”Six months… Lots of things can happen during such a long time…” Hye knew the entire situation would be hard to predict right now, ”at least I have time… Letʼs plant more seeds then…”

He took out his crystal heart and started to scatter all the remaining crystals he had. He waited for a few days before the early batch he planted showed results.

When he planted the new seeds, he didnʼt use much higher bones this time, only the normal ones. He made sure the trees would grow fully, before heʼd stop supplying his bones.

”I donʼt know yet whatʼs the value of these crystals…” he grew the habit of watching his trees once per day, checking their harvest and waiting for the moment he could get his hands over the crystals.

What he noticed was that every crystal grew to a bigger size than any crystal he saw before. And they were all lined with weird lines, different in number, thickness, and colours.

He couldnʼt tell if these lines would stick with the ripe crystals, or they were just how the trees fed these crystals. He had to wait until the crystals suddenly started to fall on the ground, in a scene that was amazing and quite scary.

”Damn! Get out here! Donʼt go down to the ground!” He knew if these crystals touched the ground, theyʼd grow to form other trees. He already missed many of them, ending up with many small plantings that would grow to be towering trees later on.

He looked at the number of trees that grew by many folds and couldnʼt help but shake his head in regret. ”I canʼt stay forever waiting for them to ripe like this…” he knew this was possible because he was free.

But later on, and as heʼd start to embark on the real big journey of his after receiving his protective formation and crystal mine worlds, heʼd not be able to do it.

Yet he managed to save tons of crystals. Each tree yielded thousands of crystals, even tens of thousands of trees. And he got millions of trees to begin with.

In the end, he gained a scary figure of crystals, ones he stored in his inventory once taken out from this heart.

”Itʼs really a treasure trove,” when he looked at the scary figure in his inventory, he couldnʼt help but feel admiration towards this heart, ”it took a month to give me such a result, but itʼs worth it!”

He knew if he widely spread planting crystals, planting billions of trees or even more, then his single harvest would be terrifying! He even doubted that heʼd ever need any mine later on. But he decided to keep his cool and do things like the Romans used to do in Rome.

”So… These veins are left over them… I canʼt tell what they are used for…” he took out one crystal and started examining it. The one he held in his hands was covered with few dried-up lines, looking like veins with coagulated blood within.

In his inventory, different crystals were arranged there. Each held a different colour, a different value, but he couldnʼt tell their effects without trying them out.

The normal crystals were semi-transparent white in colour. But there were blank white crystals, and higher coloured ones as well.

He now held one white crystal, with a normal one in the other hand. Comparing the two together, there were many differences between the two.

The veins were one of these differences, and the size and heaviness as well. He didnʼt hesitate to swallow one, testing its effects on himself.

[Congratulations! You consumed one white grade universal stat crystal! You gained one hundred stat points to add as you wish!]

”One hundred…”
