I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 81: Heartache

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yao had no idea what the trio was thinking about. All he wanted was to go to the mysterious land as soon as possible to kill the freaks and earn rewards.

‘This is the chance for my sapling to grow quickly.’

While several people were talking to each other, the team gathered outside had arrived to treat the wounded and check their physical and mental health.

More than half an hour later, they had finished a series of examinations. Although there was a delay, it was necessary.

One could easily be contaminated when entering the mysterious land. Parasites might even inadvertently latch on to them, or they might leave with cursed objects from the mysterious land. Such a situation would pose a risk for both armed personnel and ordinary people. Such objects were stronger than drugs, so everyone had to go through strict examinations.

Fortunately, after the Spirit Energy Revival, it was no longer necessary to ask a series of questions to perform the country’s mental health pollution test. All they needed to do was go through a mirror test.

As seen in the Technique Chamber, a golden mirror hung high from a door. Everyone lined up and walked past the mirror. If there was nothing in the mirror, it meant that the person had passed the test. If there was a gray display, the person would be taken away for further testing.

This examination was fast and swift. In fact, it was the discussion everyone had on whether to erase Lin Yao’s memory of entering the mysterious land that took a lot of time.

In the end, the matter was reported, and the higher-ups judged and chose not to erase Lin Yao’s memory. However, he was required to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Half an hour later, Lin Yao walked out of an abandoned amusement park and realized that the sun was about to rise from the east.

Lin Yao did not pay attention to the sky. Instead, he looked behind him, where there was an abandoned amusement park.

This amusement park had already become a major military site. A large number of soldiers had gathered on the periphery, and a fence had been built. There was a field hospital next to it, and tanks and planes were on standby. It seemed to be tightly guarded.

At the same time, Lin Yao also discovered that there was hardly a single figure three kilometers around this military area, and everyone had been moved away.

“What are you looking at? Let’s go. You should relax a bit. Get enough rest so that you have energy to fight.”

“I understand.”

After responding, Lin Yao thought for a while and asked out loud, “Are there mysterious lands near all the military bases in our city? How many mysterious lands are there in Ninghai City?”

“How many mysterious lands are there? Well, there are three fully-developed mysterious lands. Two of them are smaller in scale, and one of them is a mid-scale mysterious land. The amusement park is considered a small-scale mysterious land.”

“How can this be considered small?”

“Of course it can. Otherwise, how could the mysterious land have become the strongest enemy of mankind?”

“I see.”

Lin Yao sighed as he quickly returned home. He had not returned all night, so he was naturally severely reprimanded. All Lin Yao could do was lower his head and admit his mistake.

Lin Yao saw the worried look on his parents’ faces. There was a fleeting moment when he felt like settling down and not entering the mysterious land anymore. After all, it was very dangerous there, so he might die anytime, leaving his parents behind.

However, in the end, he still made up his mind.

‘If I don’t go now, I will be even more desperate if I encounter danger in the future. There are dangers everywhere in this era. I have to go to the mysterious land.’

After making up his mind, Lin Yao was lost in his thoughts while his parents reprimanded him.

‘If the higher-ups approve my request to enter the mysterious land, they will send a special enlistment letter to my family. Then, I won’t have to bother finding an excuse.’

After a round of scolding, Lin Yao’s parents left home for work. Lin Yao, who had slept at night, was full of energy and left for school.

On the way to school, he ran into his enthusiastic but somewhat edgy buddy.

His predecessor was an ordinary person, and Lin Yao, who had transmigrated and had not awakened during his first month there, was also a very ordinary person. Therefore, his friends were no geniuses either. They usually became friends with ordinary people who were not perfect and had their own shortcomings.

“Hey, let’s go.”

Seeing that his best friend was waiting for him, Lin Yao patted him on the back and walked with him to school.

Zhang Heng did not pay much attention to Lin Yao. He cast a quick glance at him, ready to continue making his way to school.

However, he was shocked by what he saw and widened his eyes in surprise.

“A-Are you Lin Yao?”

Zhang Heng’s voice trembled, as he was in extreme shock.

Lin Yao smiled at his reaction. “Don’t be so dramatic. I am just slightly more handsome.”

“There is a huge difference. Did you have plastic surgery? You must have. You look radiant. You scoundrel! Who radiates light in reality?”

“Don’t slander me. This is my natural glow… Well, it is due to my talent, so it is called my natural glow.”

Zhang Heng stared at Lin Yao, who was walking in front of him. He had a mental breakdown upon hearing Lin Yao’s reply.

“How can this be due to your talent? Your talent cannot only improve your cultivation speed, but also your looks? I won’t be envious of you. I really won’t be envious of you!”

Zhang Heng might have said that, but it would have sounded more convincing if he’d wiped the tears in his eyes.

What happened then was worse. He felt that God was unfair.

While they were walking to school, like what had happened when he’d gone to the research institute yesterday, the radiant Lin Yao caught the attention of many people, particularly women.

Lin Yao was already very outstanding thanks to his perfect figure and handsome face (an adjustment caused by the advancement of the Tree of Light). Now that he had special effects, everyone could not help but take a few more glances at him.

Furthermore, the light energy had a soothing and joyful effect. People who looked at Lin Yao naturally felt comfortable and relaxed.

No matter the era, ordinary people always had their troubles and concerns. When they saw Lin Yao, they were no longer irritable. Instead, they felt reassured. Those who were happy were elated. This was why the women could not tear their eyes away from Lin Yao.

This was similar to food lovers seeing heaps of food, cat slaves seeing cute kittens, and music listeners hearing beautiful notes that they liked…

As a result, Lin Yao walked to the school while attracting everyone’s gazes.

“H-Hello, are you Lin Yao?”

“Yes, are we in the same class?”

The girl in front of him looked familiar, but Lin Yao did not recognize her.

The girl could clearly tell that Lin Yao did not know her. However, she was not upset. She tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled.

“Yes, I am Xinqing. I sit in front of you.”

“Xiaoqing, is he really in your class?”

“Well, of course. Lin Yao is very outstanding. Not only is he handsome… but he is also the best student in the class and the seventh seed in this class match.”

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

As he was looking at the girls who kept crowding around Lin Yao and hearing them continuously praise him, Zhang Heng’s confidence was dealt another harsh blow.

“This is not what you said two days ago. Didn’t you say that Ah Yao didn’t have the ability to be the best in class and was relying on insidious sneak attacks?”

Zhang Heng was right. When Lin Yao had ranked first that day, he had not received as much praise as today.

The main reason was that it was very easy to advance and become a martial artist. Besides, Lin Yao had managed to rank first due to his insidious trick, the Clear Mirror Sword-Drawing Technique. This was why many people were upset that he’d ranked first and believed that he was unworthy of this rank.

However, right now, although one could not tell what the boys’ reaction to Lin Yao was, it was certain that all the girls were full of praise for him.

‘Can a handsome guy do whatever he wants?’

Zhang Heng felt indignant. However, he soon discovered that a handsome man could really do whatever he wanted. Zhang Heng, who was walking behind Lin Yao, noticed that many notes were being stuffed into his best friend’s pocket.

Right now, he was even more envious of Lin Yao.

‘Ah Yao must be enjoying himself.’

Zhang Heng, who was behind Lin Yao, felt that his lucky day had finally arrived. However, Lin Yao had no time for this. More and more people crowded around him, and no amount of pleasantries could send them away. Lin Yao could not help but frown.

“You are bothering me.”

After speaking indifferently, Lin Yao left the crowd and walked quickly toward the school.

The surrounding girls were stunned momentarily by these cold words. However, just as Zhang Heng thought that Lin Yao had offended the group of girls, a voice was heard.

“Lin Yao is cold and indifferent, but he is just as handsome.”

“Yes, he is so cool and domineering.”

“He must be leaving in a hurry to continue his practice. Lin Yao ranked first in the class due to his hard work.”

“This hardworking man looks so handsome.”

‘This is not about hard work. He just finds all of you very annoying!’
