I don't want love games

Chapter 73
After reading the file, knowing that just relying on ordinary intimacy, he could not achieve the strategy within three months, Xia Yi gave up staying with Mu Ling all day, and cared more about Mu Ling's secret.

For most of the day, he was watching the images coming from the [camera] while doing his own thing.

At the end of the first month, he finally noticed something strange.

In Mu Ling's room, there is a small, potted plant-like thing.

The reason why it is said to be something like a potted plant, not a potted plant, is because it is a branch, inserted in a flower pot.

There are still tender green leaves on the branch. During this month, whenever Mu Ling returned to the room after taking a shower, he would fiddle with this branch.

In the previous world line, Xia Yi also asked Mu Ling what the branch was, and Mu Ling replied that the branch was something she used to practice her abilities.

By keeping the branch freshly snapped off and still alive, she exercises her control over her powers.

Now, Xia Yi, who had carefully observed Mu Ling's actions, felt that the branches were not as simple as Mu Ling said.

One morning, when Mu Ling went out to work, Xia Yi used the [Master Key] to sneak into Mu Ling's bedroom and picked up the pot of branches from the bedside.

After picking it up, he confirmed that the branch was unusual.

[Green Branch: After wearing it, the recovery speed of injuries will be greatly increased.After eating, agility +1]

The introduction column of props can only be triggered if it is seen with one's own eyes, otherwise Xia Yi would not know about it until now.

He fiddled with the branches twice more, trying to find the secrets Mu Ling hid inside, but found nothing.

When he was hesitating whether he was worrying too much, the bedroom door was opened and Mu Ling walked in.

Seeing Xia Yi, she was only slightly surprised, but after seeing the branch in Xia Yi's hand, her complexion changed drastically.

"Don't touch!" Mu Ling shouted.

I have never seen Mu Ling's expression so excited, Xia Yi was startled, his hand shook, and the branch fell down.

Snapped--

The flower pot was broken, the soil was scattered, and the roots of the branches were exposed.

Xia Yi stared at the roots of the tree and felt a chill in his heart.

The reason why a branch is a branch is because it is just a branch of a tree, and its root should be a break.

However, at the base of the branches on the ground, there is a mass of rhizomes.

No, that's not a root, if you look closely, it's human hair.

Just as Xia Yi was about to continue studying the branches, Mu Ling came in front of him, a green light appeared in her eyes, and a vine grew out of her body, piercing Xia Yi's chest.

【The character is dead】

【Whether to read file】

In the black dead space, Xia Yi skillfully sat cross-legged, summing up.

It is certain that the branch is not an ordinary branch. Seeing that Mu Ling jumped up and killed herself directly, this branch must be her crime.

Then, all I have to do next is investigate the branches!

The long and rough road is not scary, but the scary thing is that you can't find the road, and now the road has appeared in front of you!

Read the file!

[Skill Acquired - Wood Spirit Mark lv1]

Um?Got a skill?Has the ability to kill the little master been activated?

However, this is not important, what is important is that I am about to investigate the secrets of the branches.

So here comes the question, where to investigate the branch's secret?
Sitting on the bed, Xia Yi thought about it and found that the road ahead was still dark.

He clicked on [Wood Spirit Seal].

[Wood Spirit Mark: Proof of Wood Spirit's identity, increased affinity for flowers and plants]

This skill seems useless.

In other words, the ability of [Green Snake Mark] is to manipulate snakes, and the ability of [Wooden Spirit Mark] is to be compatible with flowers and plants. Does any mark make up for it?

After lying on the bed and resting for a while, Xia Yi went to Mu Ling's bedroom.

He didn't go to see Mu Ling, but to steal something.

What he wants to steal is [Green Branch], the ability to speed up the recovery of injuries, and Xia Yi, who has the ability to read files, doesn't care, but the latter one, the explanation that it can increase agility after eating, makes Xia Yi very excited.

The [Kappa's Ashes] I saw at Fang Bei last time should also be stolen, but unfortunately last time I only wanted to pass the level and didn't steal that item.

Using the [Master Key], Xia Yi opened the door of Mu Ling's room and got in.

Without any disturbance, he successfully got the [Green Branch], and picked up the item dropped from the previous world line.

After putting all the props into the [backpack], Xia Yi was about to click to read the file, but suddenly thought, and wondered how Mu Ling would react if he saw that the [green branch] was gone.

He installed the [camera], opened the door and walked out.

The moment she stepped out of the bedroom, Xia Yi was shocked.

In the corridor, a figure walked by.

That was the old butler.

When he saw Xia Yi coming out of Mu Ling's bedroom, the old housekeeper did not greet him as usual, but showed a gentleman's smile and walked away.

With a sigh of relief, Xia Yi reflected:
In the future, when entering other people's bedrooms to steal things, you need to install a [camera] outside to watch what's going on outside.

By the way, what did the old housekeeper think he was doing inside?

Returning to his bedroom, Xia Yi turned on the computer and looked at the footage on the surveillance camera.

An hour later, Mu Ling came to the bedroom. She didn't notice the disappearance of [Green Branch] immediately, but after changing her clothes, she realized that the head of the bed was empty.

She stood there, unable to move for 5 minutes, and her body slowly turned into a piece of wood.

Turning off the computer, Xia Yi clicked on the file.

Coming to the initial time point again, Xia Yi used the [Master Key] to enter Mu Ling's room and installed the [Camera], at the same time, he looked at the head of the bed, the branches and potted plants were well placed there, but no props panel popped up anymore Come.

This time he didn't meet the old housekeeper, Xia Yi arrived at the bedroom safely.

Sitting in the bedroom, he took out the [Green Branch].

Now the question is, how to eat this branch?
Just chew it or fry it?
As for the branches, they can barely be eaten, the key is the roots of the branches, that big group of hair...

Let's leave it alone for now. You can only have skills when your attributes reach fifteen. Now your agility attribute is only ten, so it's still early!
Xia Yi felt a sense of satisfaction when he put the [Green Branch] back in his backpack.

Collecting props in this way is also part of the fun of the game.

But this is just a side fun, the key now is how to ask Mu Ling what secret this branch holds.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and there were Mu Ling and the little maid outside the door, and Mu Ling came to ask him to have dinner.

Standing up, Xia Yi had his meal calmly, and studied in the bedroom all afternoon, but he still couldn't think of a good way to ask about the branch.

In the dead of the moon, there was a knock on his bedroom door.

It was Mu Ling who came in.

In the previous world line, there was no such plot of meeting at night!

Xia Yi was surprised.
