Chapter 69 Tao Na
Seeing the pain on Alan's face when he paid, Taona grinned with joy.
She helped him pack the box with her nimble hands and feet, and also revealed an interesting story.
"Alan! You probably don't know that the heart of the woad tree is divided into male and female!"
"The one I'm selling you is a female heart!"
"The other is ambition!"
"If you are interested, I can collect it for you, or I can sell it at today's price. How about that?"
"What's the difference between ambition and ambition?" Alan asked curiously.
"As for the specific difference, I can't really tell you." Tao Na rolled her eyes, "But ambition is definitely better than ambition! People often say 'ambition', but never heard of 'ambition', right?"
"No... your twisted logic is so complicated." Allen rolled his eyes at her. "It's totally irrelevant, okay?"
Tao Na also knew that she was making excuses and smiled a little awkwardly.
Alan groaned for a moment and said to her, "I'm more interested in the origin of the tree heart. Can you take me to see it?"
“Hehehehe…” Tao Na sneered twice and said flatly: “I’m sorry, no!”
"Don't be upset yet. I'm not taking you with me because I want to protect you!"
Tao Na put away her smile and looked serious.
"Woad heart, only found in the island's revitalized plant areas."
"When you first came to the island, you must have passed by that area. You should know how dangerous it is."
"If it's so dangerous, why do you dare to go?" Alan asked back.
"I have a special skill that allows me to temporarily change my appearance and deceive those animated plants into thinking I am one of their own kind."
"That way, they won't attack me."
Tao Na lowered her voice.
"Using this technique, I can blend into the Ents' territory."
"Collect the heart from the corpse of the woad tree man who died of natural withering. Do you understand?"
"Been taught a lesson."
Alan nodded suddenly.
"Taona, as for the male woad heart, I'm not sure whether I want it or not."
"Unless I can personally inspect it and confirm that it is indeed useful to me, I will purchase it at the price we agreed on today."
"That's no problem!" Tao Na agreed readily, "I'll go collect tree hearts in a few days and bring one for you!"
"Okay, how about we meet next Sunday?"
Alan asked her.
"Next Sunday... I have classes that day and won't be open for business." Tao Na hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sunday is fine, but we have to meet somewhere else. I can spare an hour."
"It's the dessert shop opposite the market, is that okay?" Alan pointed outside the door.
"No problem! If we can make a second deal, I'll treat you to juice!" Tao Na said expectantly.
She really wanted to make this deal.
After all, apart from Alan, this sucker... well, this connoisseur, I'm afraid no one would be willing to pay such a high price to purchase a pair of useless woad tree hearts.
After discussing the business, the two exchanged secret marks.
Alan said goodbye to Taona and returned to the martial arts dormitory.
Copy Tao Na 's mark into the communication book.
It ranks behind his thirteenth patron, "Vega".
Taona's mark looks like a cartoon tree man.
Quite cute.
From this mark, and then thinking of Taona's atavistic transformation, it is a kind of activated plant form.
Alan naturally came up with a guess.
Tao Na, who sold him the woad heart, was the most famous talent in the natural science department!
In the Warlock Academy, there are three talented girls today.
Pamela of the Elemental System.
Tanya from the violent department.
Tao Na from the Natural Department.
According to Fearing, Taona is a little beauty.
When I saw her today...she's so beautiful!
Of course, Alan is not the type to judge a book by its cover.
Apart from her appearance, his overall impression of Tao Na was pretty good.
I didn't feel any condescending and overbearing arrogance from her.
Although both are talented girls, Taona is much easier to get along with and more reasonable than Pamela.
Besides, when Tao Na was running the store, she might not show her true face to others.
…
Alan withdrew his thoughts.
Pick up the woad heart.
Carefully cut it open with a dagger along the wood grain.
A thick wooden shell encasing a small mass of blue substance.
It looks like coconut flesh dyed blue.
Alan picked it out with a dagger and put it in his mouth to chew.
The taste is slightly sour, but not too bad.
At the same time, a system prompt was received.
"Eat special food ingredients: woad heart (female)!"
"Potential +1!"
"Agility +1!"
Alan nodded in satisfaction.
Looking forward to next week's trading.
I hope that the heart of another kind of woad tree can also bring me potential and attribute bonuses.
…
Nature Warlock Tower.
"Senior Sister! I'm so lucky today!"
Taona said happily to Angela.
After returning to the Warlock Tower, she lifted the "Disguise Spell".
From an ugly little witch, she transformed into a beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes.
"Yes, it's rare that someone would spend a lot of money to buy the heart of the woad tree."
Angela echoed.
Tao Na opened the storage bag and counted out ten magic stones for her.
"Senior Sister, this is for you! We'll make a follow-up deal next week, and there will be so much more!"
"Will that kid really buy a second one?" Angela expressed her doubt.
"I think he will buy it!" Tao Na said confidently, "Although I don't know why he bought the tree heart, but I have a hunch that the tree heart is very important to him!"
Angela shrugged and said nothing.
"Senior sister! I'm going to take a bath, will you come with me?"
"You go first. I have another ."
"Tsk tsk! So hardworking?" Tao Na made a face at her, "No wonder my uncle likes you the most among all the students !"
"Don't talk nonsense," Angela rolled her eyes at him resentfully, "Of course the instructor's favorite student is your niece!"
After saying goodbye to Taona, Angela came to the second floor of the Warlock Tower.
He bent down and peeked through the keyhole into Han Ning's office.
After confirming that Han Ning was the only one in the room, she went in without even knocking and locked the door.
"Where did Taona go today and who did she come into contact with?"
"How's the business in the store?" Han Ning asked the female disciple in his arms.
"Not bad... Haha, I caught a rich guy today. He spent a lot of money in the store."
