A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2: Outstanding Citizen Citizen and Bloody Necromancer

"Wow…"

Someone exclaimed.

"If it\'s a necromancer, then it really won\'t work. I remember that the Lord hates necromancers the most..." Richard said seriously, "But this might be a misunderstanding. How about this? I\'ll talk to Matthew after work."

The bald man nodded.

"Then I\'ll leave it to you. Also, do the assessment work. To be honest, I don\'t believe it either."

..

In the evening.

North of Rolling Stone Town.

In the newly formed oak forest.

A tall and thin figure was busy.

Matthew held a shovel in his hand and filled the newly dug pit with a thin layer of mature soil.

There were a few small sacks on the ground beside him. One of the sacks contained a sapling, and the rest were empty.

In the next moment.

He planted the sapling into the pit.

He covered it with several layers of soil of different textures.

After the transplant.

Matthew took out a bottle of green liquid and poured it on the soil near the seedling.

Light green light waves surged.

It was obvious that the seedlings had grown a lot.

Its posture also became more resilient.

..

[You have successfully planted an oak tree. Your Nature Affinity has slightly increased.]

[The accumulated number of oak trees planted and survived: 996」

..

"I\'m still short of four trees. I\'ll definitely have enough by tomorrow!"

He looked at the sky.

Matthew decided to rest and go home.

Just like usual.

He checked the contents of the mission panel again.

..

[Main Mission: Plant Trees]

[Description: In the vicinity of Rolling Stone Town, choose a type of tree to plant on a large scale. Please proceed with this mission under the premise of ensuring the survival rate. No time limit]

..

[Beginner target: 1000 trees]

[Basic Reward: Undead Summoning (Bone Dragon) & Large amount of XP]

..

Putting aside the rewards, if this quest were given to a Druid, it would be normal.

But the problem was-

Matthew was very sure that he was a necromancer who had a strong foundation!

After all...

It was written clearly on the character panel.

..

[Name: Matthew]

..

"I shouldn\'t have opted for dual skills at the beginning!"

He looked at the nondescript yet frivolous game system.

Matthew\'s emotions were complicated.

He remembered it very clearly.

On the eve of his transmigration, he had been slaying the Mud Monsters in the Forest of Decay on his computer. He was rocking two classes back then. The two classes were Druid and Necromancer.

In the end, he transmigrated in the next second.

He became a Necromancer.

Immediately after.

Matthew found something even more confusing.

After transmigrating, he had a game system.

However, there seemed to be a problem with the system.

In the game he played, the system names of different classes were different.

The necromancers\' system was called the Path of Undying.

The Druids\' system was called Nature\'s Heart.

However, in Matthew\'s transmigrated system, it was all a bunch of garbled characters and codes.

Among the characters, he could barely make out the words " Undying, Natural," and there were countless watermarks of the other stacked on top of each other.

It made people dizzy.

Matthew felt numb.

Fortunately, the system quickly stabilized.

At the same time, he was given his first main mission.

That was to plant trees in Rolling Stone Town.

Matthew, who had just arrived and had no family, had no reason to refuse.

He started working diligently.

This job lasted for almost three years.

..

In the mage area.

Outside an elegant and ancient two-story residential building.

Matthew stopped at the door.

He did not immediately open the gate.

Instead, he looked at the alley opposite.

Someone was waiting for him.

"Mr. Matthew!"

A young girl with a youthful aura ran out of the alley.

The two guards behind her hesitated for a moment but did not move.

The pretty girl jogged to Matthew.

The sky was already dark.

Matthew could still see the deep blush on her face.

"Beanna."

Matthew replied.

"Matthew, I\'m going to Jade Court next week. Father wants me to go over and learn dance and art... I came to see you before I left."

The girl lowered her eyes.

Matthew nodded. "Jade Court is a good place."

Seeing that the girl didn\'t react, he added,

"The wood elves are good at singing and dancing. Their artistic taste is indeed above that of humans."

The girl still lowered her head.

Matthew could only say, "Remember to write to me when you go to Jade Court so that I can reply to you."

The young girl\'s eyes finally had some liveliness.

She raised her head slightly.

Her big eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I will.

"Matthew…Can you hug me before you leave?"

Matthew said awkwardly, "I\'m afraid that won\'t do."

The young girl had already taken the initiative to hug him.

Her soft body pressed against Matthew\'s chest.

He could feel the rapid heartbeat.

"I like you, Matthew."

Beanna boldly confessed.

Matthew let her hug him for a while.

Then, he gently pushed her away.

Then, he kindly reminded her, "Beanna, you\'re still young. You don\'t know what true love is. Even if you take ten thousand steps back, you\'ve only seen the surface of me. You don\'t know the real me."

Beanna retorted excitedly, "I know you!

"I\'ve been secretly looking at you every day in class!

"I know everything you do!

"You are a good person!

"You love plants so much, and you love life!

"There\'s no man better than you in Rolling Stone Town!"

..

"I have reservations about this point of view... Ah, I\'m sorry to disturb you, but official business is more important..."

A man\'s voice suddenly came from the other side of the room.

Beanna blushed.

She quickly hid behind Matthew.

Then…

Matthew saw a man dressed like a gentleman walking over quickly.

" Mr. Matthew, I\'m Richard from the five-member committee of the City Hall. Regarding the Outstanding Citizen Selection, I have an urgent message for you to confirm.

"This is the information you registered at the City Hall two years ago. Is this your profession? Is there a mistake?"

Matthew took the document from Richard and glanced at it.

Then, he said with unusual determination, "There is no mistake.

"As you can see, I am indeed a necromancer."

Richard was stunned. "This doesn\'t make sense. You don\'t look like a necromancer."

Beanna also snorted. "I don\'t believe it! You must be talking nonsense on purpose!"

Matthew\'s expression was normal.

In the next moment.

He suddenly snapped his fingers in the direction of his home.

Not long after.

The kitchen door was pushed open from the inside.

A tall shadow walked out from inside and came to the garden outside.

Richard and Beanna widened their eyes.

It was a two-meter-tall Tauren skeleton!

As they walked, the skeleton greeted them, "Hey! Matthew, this is rare. Do we have any guests tonight?"

Matthew shook his head. "I don\'t think so."

He looked at Beanna and Richard, who were dumbfounded. "I\'m sorry to startle you, but I must say-

"It seems that you don\'t understand me, nor do you understand necromancers. Goodnight. Goodbye, both of you."

..

At night.

The thick aroma of mushroom soup filled the dining room and kitchen.

Matthew and the Tauren skeleton sat opposite each other and enjoyed their dinner.

"What a pity, Matthew…."

Skeleton said regretfully, "You really shouldn\'t have let me show my face in public. This time, not only did you lose the selection of outstanding citizens, but you also might have lost the admiration of an innocent girl…No matter how you look at it, it\'s a loss!"

Matthew drank a mouthful of mushroom soup and looked satisfied. "I don\'t care."

The skeleton asked with interest.

"Then what do you care about?"

"Let\'s do it in stages. At this stage, I just want to plant trees properly."

Pa!

Matthew gently put down the bowl.

"Peggy, go to the greenhouse and prepare the saplings I need tomorrow.

"I\'m going to the basement to meditate."

The skeleton cried out, "Why should I go? I\'ve been working for 72 hours straight! I was the one who made the dinner of love just now!

"I\'m so tired!"

Matthew calmly replied, "You\'re a skeleton, Peggy. You won\'t get tired.

"In addition, I only have you as my contract summon. I don\'t trust the other skeletons to do these things."

Peggy couldn\'t refuse.

She could only curse as she walked into the greenhouse on the east side.

"Damn necromancers!"
