Oak Tree Adam

Around 4.00 pm, Ji Yu returned to his rented apartment looking exhausted.

Not physically exhausted, but mentally.

Ma Hongyu was more unreliable than Ji Yu had imagined. There were many things that Ji Yu still had to confirm to open a pet store.

Putting aside the matter about opening a store for the time being, Ji Yu leaned against the headboard and began to deal with the oak tree.

At this time, it was around 3.00 am in the middle of the night in Barna Rainforest.

According to Ji Yu's gaming schedule, it was not yet time for him to enter the game.

The game time that he had set for himself was after midnight in Line's Federation. After all, it would then be dawn in the Barna Rainforest.

Also, since the meditation required photosynthesis, daytime would be most suitable.

He opened the game interface and saw a notification.

[Oak Tree's Nature Spirit is born]

[Please confirm the name for the oak tree's nature spirit. The true name has the effect of solidifying the nature spirit's sense of belonging. Also, after the oak tree breaks through to a higher life force level, the name will be strongly associated to its future uses. It is highly recommended for the player to give a longer name - the longer the better.]

[Please confirm Nature Spirit's name]

Seeing this stream of text, Ji Yu was puzzled.

"Does the name have other mysterious uses? I will have to think about it carefully then."

"The longer the name, the better?"

"That's simple!"

Ji Yu immediately turned on his computer and started searching for name generators online.

Ji Yu thought for a long time as he looked at the various common names on the name generator.

At the same time, due to the sudden sense of poor humor that popped up in his mind,

Ji Yu quickly decided on the oak tree spirit's name.

"Adam Ashtorek Hawthorne Balzess Fran…"

The entire real name was a translation of 36 names in Line's language.

It was not considered short.

There was nothing strange about this name. Ji Yu's bad humor was only reflected in the 'Adam' part of the name.

After all, in West York, Adam was the first man to have existed in mythology.

Ji Yu named the oak tree Adam because it would be the first oak tree in the world to have its own consciousness.

Ji Yu felt that the name 'Adam' was quite apt and it did sound grand and distinguished.

After choosing the name, Ji Yu immediately opened the game interface to confirm it.

[Name confirmed. Name: Adam Ashtorek Hawthorne Balzess Fran…]

[Name selection completed. Oak Tree Nature Spirit Awakens]

When the nature spirit of the oak tree awakened, Ji Yu instantly felt an inexplicable connection between his mind and something.

This connection felt intimate, and it was also very peculiar in terms of senses. It was not easy to describe it in words.

Ji Yu closed his eyes and sat on the bed. He probed at Adam through their mind plane curiously.

"Adam?"

The moment Ji Yu sent that thought through, a voice replied in his mind.

"Father, I'm here."

This voice had an inexplicable matureness to it. It sounded like the voice of a middle-aged man in his forties.

Ji Yu was not startled even when he heard the voice. Instead, he asked curiously,

"How are you feeling now, Adam? How much of this world do you know?"

"I'm feeling great. After Father created me and woke me up, my understanding of this world has been completed. If there's anything you need me to do, please tell me directly."

"I see!" Ji Yu was deep in thought.

When Adam answered Ji Yu's question, Ji Yu could feel Adam's emotions.

Adam was filled with respect, yearning, and a strong sense of admiration.

What he could be sure was that Adam was not as calm as he sounded when he was answering Ji Yu's question.

Very good, and very much to Ji Yu's liking.

After confirming that the oak tree spirit Adam did not have any obvious flaws, Ji Yu immediately gave Adam a reply.

"Very good. I don't need you to do anything for now. All you need to do is maintain the meditative state and allow yourself to grow faster."

"Also, you need to be careful of potential dangers in the outside world."

"If you're certain that someone is doing something unfavorable to you, you can do what you think is appropriate according to the situation and let me know afterwards."

Ji Yu did not display any arrogance. His tone was calm and even somewhat affectionate.

He did not have the mindset of a deity who just created life.

"Okay, Father, I understand."

After that, Adam fell silent.

Ji Yu didn't know what he should talk to Adam about either.

This was Ji Yu's first time being a father. Moreover, he was the father of an oak tree.

This oak tree's thinking was mature and he could not treat Adam like a child.

Should I maintain my dignity? Or get closer to him?

Like a conversation between a father and son?

However, when Ji Yu thought about his interactions with his own father in the village, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

There was no other reason - Ji Yu's father was just an honest man.

Even when he was home, the two of them rarely conversed.

That was the generation gap!

Save me. Can anyone tell me how I should treat a mature child who I just met?

In the end, Ji Yu gave up on having a casual conversation.

He suddenly thought of another question, so he asked Adam again,

"By the way, Adam, to you, what sort of existence am I?"

Adam didn't answer Ji Yu's question immediately.

At the same time, Ji Yu could sense Adam's inner turmoil.

Nervousness.

Adam was feeling nervous now.

Ji Yu's head was filled with question marks. I was just casually asking, do you have to be so nervous?

What happened to being mature and prudent?

However, Ji Yu did not say anything to comfort him, nor did he urge him.

After a while, Adam finally spoke up.

"Kind, wise, virtuous, and compassionate. You create miracles in this world, and commit to acts of kindness. In Adam's heart, Father is the symbol of all power and possesses a heart of benevolence."

"Forgive Adam for only being able to think of this few adjectives to describe your greatness. However, there is no doubt that Father is the only beacon of light in my heart."

Holy shit!

For the first time in his life, Ji Yu blushed.

Really blushed.

Very few people in reality could compliment someone as straightforwardly as Adam.

Also, Adam sounded so serious when he said those words. Truly, Ji Yu felt a little ashamed.

Kind? Wise? Virtuous? Compassion for all living things? The light of his world?

Since when did I become so great?

So that's how Adam sees me?

Then it would be best if my actions in the future didn't disappoint him.

Ji Yu rubbed his chin as he relished in Adam's words, revealing a pleased expression.

There was nothing he could do about it. Ji Yu had a common human flaw. When faced with compliments for him by others, he would inevitably feel smug.

After all, which person wouldn't feel good about others singing their praises?
