The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Moran took the leaf key and looked at it curiously.

It appears to be the leaf of a hollow tree, but for some reason, it's hard and smooth to the touch, like a piece of jade shaped like a leaf.
She took the key and walked up the spiral tree ladder, the wooden steps creaking softly under her feet.

At the third fork in the road, a rustic wooden door came into view. The outline of a leaf was drawn on the door panel with fluorescent liquid, and its shape perfectly matched the key in her hand.

Moran gently placed the leaf key into the groove of the door panel, and the veins on the leaf suddenly lit up with a bright green light.

With a soft click, the door lock opened.

The leaf-shaped key slowly merged into the door panel, becoming one with the original leaf pattern.

Inside the door, a warm breeze carrying the scent of wood and sunshine wafted in.

Moran sniffed and went into the room.

The room was much more spacious than I had imagined. The cylindrical space was clearly built along the natural cavity of the ancient tree, and the tree patterns on the walls were clearly visible.

The ceiling arches upwards, with several thick wooden beams intersecting it, from which hang lanterns made of glowing mushrooms, emitting a soft, warm light.

Upon entering, there was a small living room with a dark green carpet woven from unknown plants, dotted with faintly glowing star patterns. As she approached, the glowing spots on the carpet would automatically avoid her footprints.

To the left of the small living room hangs a curtain woven from fine vines. Parting the curtain reveals a crescent-shaped study.

The naturally formed cavities inside the tree trunk have been turned into bookshelves, with tiny buds growing along the edges.

There were even a few books made of tree bark inside; I don't know if they were left by the previous guest or placed there by the hotel owner.

Moran took them down and flipped through them briefly. They were mostly books of poetry and story collections, which she wasn't very interested in, so she stuffed them into a corner and took out the skill books she had bought that day and put them on the bookshelf.

There is a natural recess on the right side of the small living room, which has been turned into a washroom.

A hollow vine hangs from the ceiling, branching out into several twigs, each topped with a large blue flower bud.

Moran had seen this plant on the forum; it should be called Mountain Spring Flower.

It is said that during the growth process of this flower, the bud stores a large amount of spring water, far exceeding the volume of the bud itself. The spring water will flow out when you gently touch it, and the flow will stop automatically when you stop touching it.

In many parts of the dream world, mountain spring flowers are used as a mobile water source.

Moran poked one of the flower buds, and immediately clear spring water gushed out. When she let go, the water stopped.

She left the bathroom; the bedroom was just inside.

A uniquely shaped bed, covered with a thick moss mat, was placed near the window in the bedroom.

Moran reached out and pressed it, discovering that the seemingly soft moss was surprisingly elastic.

A small luminous flower grew by the bedside. As she approached, its petals opened slightly, emitting an even brighter glow.

On the other side of the room, there is a small balcony.

Pushing open the leaf-shaped window, you'll find a semi-circular wooden platform outside, with vines covered in small flowers twining around the railing.

Standing here, you can take in the entire view of Emerald Village, with other floating islands in the distance appearing and disappearing under the pink sky of the dream world.

Just looking at the view from the balcony made Moran feel that the room fee was well worth it. She stood on the balcony for a while, thinking about the skill books, before reluctantly returning to her study. First, she put the "Beast Speaker Job Invitation" and all the skill books into the Card Book as materials to create the corresponding cards. After making a backup, Moran, without any worries, took the newly created "Beast Speaker Job Invitation" and sat down at the desk by the window.

I gently placed it on my forehead, and immediately felt a warm current flow into my mind.

The Dream Gate once again extended its pink energy tentacles, wrapping the job invitation letter.

At the same time, a notification message pops up on the panel:

[You have successfully changed your job to Beast Speaker by using the "Beast Speaker Job Invitation Letter". Reward: 1 Skill Point]

Moran then noticed several unread messages on the panel that he had previously ignored:
[Has acquired the Spirit Transformation Clan's innate talents: Natural Shapeshifting and Natural Affinity]

[Racial skills are awakening]

[Awakening Successful]

[Has acquired the Spirit-Transformed race skills: Heather Orchid Transformation and Night Cat Transformation]

It was only then that Moran realized she had mastered two transformation abilities.

A stream of information also came from the Spirit Transformation Clan's racial core within the Spirit Sea. It turned out that in addition to their natural transformation and natural affinity talents, the Spirit Transformation Clan could also awaken two special transformation skills.

Each member of the Spirit Transformation Clan awakens a unique transformation skill. The Dreamers of the Spirit Transformation Clan awaken this skill at birth, while adventurers awaken it when they undergo a race change.

Unlike the shapeshifting skills learned after changing jobs, these two race-specific special skills do not require skill points to learn, nor do they consume any energy when used.

Even without changing jobs to gain magical energy, one can still transform.

Special transformation skills usually involve one plant transformation and one animal transformation. The size of the transformed creatures is generally not very large, and they are usually ordinary small plants and animals that exist in the dream world, without any special abilities.

However, Moran had never heard of the "Weeping Orchid" and "Night Cat" mentioned in the panel information.

Moran took out an unused terracotta flowerpot from her space card, filled it with soft humus, and placed it on her desk.

Then take a deep breath and silently repeat in your mind: "Weeping Willow!"

Adventurers cast spells by reciting the skill name.

Within the spiritual sea, the green crystal representing the core of the Spirit Transformation Clan suddenly lit up.

Her vision distorted and expanded in an instant, and her original binocular vision suddenly became a 360-degree panoramic perception without blind spots.

She could see the wall behind her, the ceiling above her head, and even the tabletop beneath her feet at the same time.

The changes in the body are even more astonishing.

The torso contracted and elongated, transforming into a slender, emerald-green stem; the head lightly lifted, blooming at the top into a deep purple orchid; the hair cascaded down and extended, becoming six ribbon-like petals, the ends gleaming with a pearly luster; the arms transformed into two soft green leaves, swaying gently unconsciously; and the legs further differentiated into dozens of milky-white fine roots.

“It’s…a strange feeling.” Moran tried to speak, but found that he couldn’t make a sound.

Moreover, her entire "body" was in a strange state of emptiness, and the ordinary terracotta flowerpot next to her was very tempting to her.

The fine roots spontaneously wriggled and crawled towards the flowerpot, eagerly plunging into the soil as soon as they touched it. (End of Chapter)
