Different World: The Devil's Coming

"Hehe, come, have a cup of tea."

The old man poured Mo Fan another cup of hot tea. It seemed that Mo Fan's reaction made him very happy.

Mo Fan picked up the tea and drank it slowly, while his brain quickly processed the current situation.

Is the old man in front of me also a time traveler? Or did Yiran tell this to someone else?

"Come and tell me, which dynasty are you from?"

"Oh, I am... huh?"

Mo Fan was about to answer when he suddenly realized what this person was asking.

"Oh, I don't understand. It's okay. Some dynasties are not known to the common people until they are gone. Then who was the emperor at that time? Do you know?"

The old man thought that Mo Fan didn’t understand, which was normal, so he asked in a different way.

"No, old man..."

After hearing this question, Mo Fan only felt more confused, but before Mo Fan could finish, he was interrupted by the old man again.

"I don't know this either. Your status in your previous life must have been really low."

The old man thought Mo Fan was just an ordinary commoner who knew nothing.

Mo Fan looked at the other person speechlessly, and asked back when the other person wasn't paying attention.

"Who was the emperor at your time, old sir?"

When the old man heard this, he suddenly became proud.

"Oh, there was no emperor in my time, only a leader of the people."

When Mo Fan heard this, a name immediately popped up in his mind.

"President?"

Mo Fan whispered his name. The old man trembled all over and couldn't speak. He looked at Mo Fan in surprise and asked.

"Are you from that era too?"

"Well, that's not the case. He was gone when I was born."

The old man was obviously stunned after hearing this. It was unclear whether it was because Mo Fan’s time was behind his or because he heard about the death of his leader.

"Is this so..."

"Old man, are you from that time?"

"Haha, yes. To be honest, I have seen the Chairman's soldiers before."

The old man seemed very proud and wanted to pull Mo Fan aside to talk to him about his memories of his past life.

As the old man spoke, his speech slowed down. Mo Fan did not interrupt him and just waited quietly.

"Alas, I'm getting old. My memory is a little fuzzy. I also forgot that I didn't come here to chat with you."

Mo Fan just smiled and didn't complain about the old man's nagging. He just asked.

"Old man, I've talked to you for so long, but I still don't know your name."

"I'm Zhuo Jianyuan, the dean of this Artisan Academy, and I'm also a level 74 wood magician. Hey, if I had the skills I have now in my previous life, I don't know how many Japanese devils I could have killed."

After introducing himself, Zhuo Jianyuan joked, or maybe he really thought so.

Mo Fan suddenly thought of the time travelers in the academy.

"Sodeki Osamu and the others?"

Mo Fan gestured, but Zhuo Jianyuan just waved his hand.

"It's not convenient to do it in the academy, and I'm the dean now. I'm afraid other teachers will follow me wherever I go. After all, I'm old. Otherwise, do you really think I don't want to kill them?"

Zhuo Jianyuan was so angry that he was about to blow his nose and glare at the end of the story. Mo Fan could only smile and tell him not to worry, he would not let those people live.

Zhuo Jianyuan also smiled and found Mo Fan more pleasing to the eye.

"I won't say any more. I'll leave the task to you first. When you have time in the future, come to my place and keep me company. We can chat and tell you stories about our victory."

As he spoke, Zhuo Jianyuan handed a task list to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan had just opened it and was looking at it when Zhuo Jianyuan spoke.

"I originally wanted to post this task on the bulletin board, but Yunhui said that you guys are quick and efficient. So I'll just give it to you guys to try."

Mission name: Collect Jianmu (A)

Location: Dwarf Forest

Mission requirements: Try not to conflict with the dwarves. If you do, root them out.

Note: Jianmu has powerful wood element magic and the ability to self-recover. It is not an ordinary tall tree.

Additional reward requirement: Collect one or more Jianmu seedlings.

The task list is concise, simple and clear. However...

"Dean, this Jianmu...isn't it what I think it is?"

Zhuo Jianyuan said with a smile.

"No, this Jianmu is just a more powerful tree, not the sacred tree from the previous life. In this world, the only sacred tree that can be considered is probably the World Tree of the Elves."

Mo Fan was relieved to hear that it was not the sacred tree. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even get close to it, let alone collect Jianmu.

However, the completion target of the task was not mentioned.

"How much Jianmu is needed to collect?"

“Well… the reconstruction of the undead disaster area has been completed. What we need now is a building that can firmly seal it. The wood element of Jianmu is full of vitality and has a strong suppressive effect on the breath of death.

You can collect as much as you want. No matter how much, our Artisan Academy can make a seal. If it's not enough, we can go again."

Zhuo Jianyuan made it very clear that they needed to build a house made entirely of Jianmu. Such a house could strengthen the seal on the undead node. But Zhuo Jianyuan didn't know exactly how big the Jianmu was, so he had to let Mo Fan judge for himself.

"So what are the seedlings mentioned in this extra reward?"

Mo Fan asked again. Zhuo Jianyuan didn't feel annoyed. On the contrary, he felt that Mo Fan was steady. If he really took the order and left, and found problems after completing the task, then it would be over.

Of course, this is only Mo Fan. If it were someone else, Zhuo Jianyuan might have just driven that person away in annoyance.

"I am a wood magician. If you bring back a seedling, I may be able to use magic to make it grow the way I want. Besides, the wood element contained in the native Jianmu is more abundant, making it more suitable for sealing."

Mo Fan nodded thoughtfully, indicating that there was no problem. Zhuo Jianyuan stood up and saw the guest off.

"It's almost dark, you should go back soon. I'll tell you another story next time you come."

It was only then that Mo Fan realized that the sky outside had unknowingly reached dusk.

It was just before leaving that Mo Fan remembered and asked.

"Dean, how did you find out?"

Obviously, Mo Fan was asking how Zhuo Jianyuan discovered that he was from Earth.

"Haha, we all came from there. Before, you hadn't adjusted to your identity yet, so I didn't bother you because I was worried that you would doubt yourself. Now that I see you've let it go, I called you over.

Actually, when you entered school, I observed you because of your identity as a demon. But the more I watched, the more I felt that you looked like a Chinese, especially when you fought Xiu Muxiu and the others. "
