Gold Rush Basin.
Rolling Stone Town.
Spring.
A blue-feathered and yellow-chested bluebird flapped its wings and flew up from the lawn in front of the town hall.
It flew over several chimneys and several roofs of brick-red houses.
It skillfully landed on an oak tree wrapped in many red and yellow walls.
There were insects crawling on the branch just below.
The bluebird was about to pounce.
But suddenly.
A roar ca from the translucent glass window behind it--
The insects quickly shook off the branch.
The bird hurriedly flew away.
Only the five well-dressed humans behind the second-floor glass window were still arguing.
...
"I disagree!"
...
Liz, a wealthy middle-aged woman, slapped away the wooden sign in front of her that said "Outstanding Citizen Selection," and then unleashed her fury on the bald man in front of her.
...
"Howard is a complete scoundrel and scum!
...
Not only does he like to seduce married won.
He also likes to seduce married n!
He always goes to find their n when the won are out shopping...
I've seen it with my own eyes dozens of tis!
Dozens of tis!!!"
...
Liz beca more and more excited as she spoke, spitting all over the table.
The four n sitting shrank back involuntarily.
"Calm down, Liz..."
The bald man tried to appease her.
"This is just a nomination."
Liz's attitude was extrely firm.
"A nomination is not enough! Howard is too terrible!"
As she spoke, her slender eyes scanned the room, as if she had suddenly discovered sothing.
"None of you have been seduced by him, right?"
The four n trembled and denied in unison:
"No!"
The bald man even tore the recomndation letter in his hand to shreds:
...
"The committee unanimously rejects the nomination of Howard Rose!"
...
Anyone who had worked in the town hall for more than a week knew how terrible Liz's mouth was.
She was a walking gossip board.
If she happened to include soone in her gossip, then everyone in town would know the rumor early the next morning.
Everyone present was respectable people, and they couldn't bear such slander.
...
"So, the last nominee is Mr. Matthew from the Mage District, um, the surna is not specified.
...
He has been living in Rolling Stone Town for just over two and a half years, eting the criteria for 'Outstanding Citizen Selection';
...
During the day, he works as a history teacher at the Sifel Academy, and the students all like him;
...
He also has a part-ti job at the police station, and Captain Blade of the police station speaks highly of him;
...
According to the description of the recomnder, Mr. Matthew is kind-hearted and generous. He doesn't have many friends in Rolling Stone Town and always keeps to himself because he is too busy to make friends..."
...
The bald man hadn't finished speaking yet.
A gentleman sitting to the left of Liz raised an objection:
...
"Mr. Chairman, reclusive individuals do not et the criteria for 'Outstanding Citizen Selection'."
...
The bald man nodded slightly:
...
"Don't worry, Richard.
...
According to the recomnder, our Mr. Matthew has planted nearly 1,000 oak trees in Rolling Stone Town in the past two and a half years, greatly greening the town's environnt. Look, the oak tree outside the window and the three in front of the town hall are all thanks to Mr. Matthew.
...
In addition, Captain Blade of the police station has stated that Mr. Matthew has made an indelible contribution to the security and environnt of Rolling Stone Town, and he deserves the Outstanding Citizen Award for this year."
...
After listening, everyone couldn't help but look out the window.
"Was this tree planted just two years ago? Why do I feel like it has always been here..."
Richard, dressed as a gentleman, muttered.
"It seems so, I rember... Matthew, a tall and handso, sowhat shy young man."
Liz showed a nostalgic look.
"This is indeed an outstanding contribution."
Another man reminded:
"But whether he can get along with other citizens is the most important criterion for the selection."
The bald man nodded:
...
"Usually, that's true, but the owner of this recomndation letter doesn't seem to write anonymous letters often. She accidentally attached her own na at the end..."
...
Richard clapped his hands:
...
"Violation of the rules! Direct rejection! Well, Rolling Stone Town still doesn't have any outstanding citizens who can even be nominated this year, just like the past three years!"
...
The others either shrugged or spread their hands, accepting this result.
But at this mont, the bald man said again:
...
"The signatory is Sif Bloodflag."
...
Bloodflag.
The surna of the lord of Rolling Stone Town.Sif Bloodflag is the only daughter of the lord of Rolling Stone Town.
The room fell silent for two or three seconds.
Even Liz, who was the most picky, raised her hands:
...
"Let's skip the nomination process, I support Matthew to beco an outstanding citizen."
...
The rest of the people agreed one after another.
However, the bald man hadn't finished speaking.
He slowly pulled out an old parchnt from the bottom of the pile of docunts:
...
"And there is one last question. This is the registration form that Matthew submitted to the city council two years ago. It clearly states his background and adventurer profession...
I suspect that he might have written it wrong at that ti.
Based on my observation,
his actions in Rolling Stone Town over the years have nothing to do with his adventurer profession, and even contradict it.
But if what is registered on this paper is true,
he might miss out on our generous reward for outstanding citizens."
...
"What profession? Isn't he just an ordinary mage?"
Everyone curiously gathered around to take a look.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a bright smile in the sketch.
In the profession column below,
the words "Necromancer" were written prominently.
...
"Wow..."
Soone exclaid in exaggeration.
"If he is an Necromancer, then it's indeed not good. I rember that Lord hates Necromancer the most..."
Richard said seriously,
"But this might be a misunderstanding. How about this, I will talk to Matthew after work."
The bald man nodded,
"Then please do, and also complete the assessnt work. To be honest, I don't believe that a Necromancer would be planting trees every day."
...
...
Evening.
North of Rolling Stone Town.
In the newly ford oak forest.
A tall and thin figure was busy.
Matthew held a shovel and skillfully filled a thin layer of fertile soil into the freshly dug hole.
There were several small sacks on the ground next to him, one of which contained saplings, while the others were empty.
In the next mont,
he planted the sapling into the hole.
Covering it with several layers of different textures of soil.
After the transplantation was completed,
Matthew took out a bottle of green liquid and poured it onto the soil near the sapling.
A pale green light wave surged.
The sapling could clearly be seen growing taller.
Its posture also beca more resilient.
...
"Successfully planted an oak tree, your affinity with nature has slightly increased.
...
Cumulative number of planted and surviving oak trees: 996
..."
...
"Just 4 more, it will be enough tomorrow!"
Glancing at the sky,
Matthew decided to go ho and rest.
As usual,
he also checked the content of the task bar again.
...
"Main Quest: Planting Trees
...
Description: Choose a type of deciduous tree for large-scale planting in the vicinity of Rolling Stone Town. Please complete this task while ensuring the survival rate. No ti limit.
...
Primary Goal: 1000 trees
...
Primary Reward: Summoning Spell (Bone Dragon) & a large amount of XP"
...
Putting aside the reward,
this task would be normal if it was given to a Druid.
But the problem is--
Matthew is very certain that he is a talented Necromancer!
It's written clearly on the character panel.
...
"Na: Matthew

...

...
"I shouldn't have dual-logged to farm monsters back then!"
Looking at this strange and contradictory ga system,
Matthew's emotions were complicated.
He rembered it very clearly.
On the eve of his transmigration, he was still dual-logging to farm the Swamp Mud Monsters in the Forest of Corruption on his computer. The professions of the two accounts were Druid and Necromancer, respectively.
And then, the next second, he transmigrated.
And beca a Necromancer.
Imdiately after,
Matthew discovered sothing even more confusing--
After transmigrating, he gained a ga system.
But this system seed to have a slight problem.
In the ga he played, the system nas for different professions were different.
...
The system for Necromancers was called 'Path of Undeath';
...
The system for Druids was called 'Heart of Nature';
...
But the system na for Matthew was a jumble of overlapping garbled characters.
Apart from the garbled characters, he could barely make out the words "Undeath" and "Nature
