Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

The next day, Li Ming visited Lina in the Moon Spring District.

"What? You want to find someone to help you change the layout of your room?" Lina was very surprised after hearing Li Ming's request.

"Is there something wrong with my request? Can't I renovate a new house?"

"Of course you can, but if you want to change the room layout, you don't need to hire someone to do it!"

Outside the window, several naturalists passed by, and the sound of their conversation drifted into the room.

"The rich elves in the Moon Spring area are really hard to please. The room layout has been changed again and again, but they still use the original version."

"Hey~ Anyway, we only charge each time we make changes. He has the money and wants to see the actual results, so we can just do it. This one order is enough for both of us to live on, isn't that great?"

The sound faded into the distance, and the two people in the room stared at each other in bewilderment.

Lina gave an awkward laugh: "I mean, you don't need to find someone to help you with the kind of Targu tree you bought."

"There's something called the Tree Heart inside the Ancient Tree. With just a little energy, you can use it to freely modify the layout of your room. Didn't the previous owner tell you that when you bought it? What a swindler!"

"Since I'm free right now, let's go find that shady businessman who sold you the house."

With Lina's help, Li Ming found the previous owner of the house.

With Lina, a local, around, they successfully obtained the method to enter the Tree Heart Room after some "friendly" communication.

The two returned together to the house that Li Ming had just bought.

After entering, they opened a hidden door in the entrance hall and went into the mezzanine.

After navigating a maze and passing through several hidden doors that changed with time, the two entered the heart chamber of the Tal Ancient Tree.

"Goodness, is it really necessary to make a control room so secretive?"

Li Ming glanced back at the constantly changing hidden door and couldn't help but complain.

Lina disagreed: "It's alright, this is a fairly standard setup. I've seen much more outrageous ones, passageways filled with magical traps."

Then she gave Li Ming a push, "Go and acknowledge the tree heart as your master, don't cause any more trouble."

After saying that, she turned and left the room, leaving Li Ming alone to face the tree heart.

The heart of the Talgu tree is a small sphere containing a phantom image of a tree that is exactly the same as the Talgu tree.

The sphere is green, which indicates that the heartwood currently has an owner, and that the owner is not Li Ming.

"Damn it, that guy was definitely up to no good. He sold me the house, but the most important control hub is still claiming ownership of it."

"If Lina hadn't been familiar with the functions of the Tal Ancient Tree, she would have definitely been tricked this time!"

"Let's invite her out for a meal later!"

Li Ming took out the key given to him by the previous owner—a piece of jade-like tree bark—and placed it on the heartwood of the tree. The bark immediately merged into the heartwood, and the heartwood changed from its original green to pure white, changing from a state of recognizing an owner to a state of being unclaimed.

Having completed this step, Li Ming controlled the energy within his body, injecting it along with his spiritual power into the tree's core. He then controlled this energy to form a jade-like leaf within the tree's core.

Finally, once the jade leaf earrings emerge from the heart of the tree and the heart of the tree turns green again, the binding process is complete.

Now, he can modify the treehouse with his mind as long as he is in the treehouse, and he can control it with the jade leaves when he is not in the treehouse.

Modifying the treehouse structure requires inputting corresponding energy; large-scale modifications to the treehouse require a massive amount of energy.

"It's just energy, I have plenty!"

Li Ming conjured one hundred energy coins from the system and casually tossed them on the ground. They were immediately absorbed by the tree heart in the center of the room and used as the tree heart's reserve energy, which could be used for modifying the room's structure.

Now, whether he is in the treehouse or not, he can visualize the structure of the treehouse in his mind anytime, anywhere through the jade leaves, and modify it however he wants.

Li Ming didn't do much; he simply removed the passage and secret door leading to his resurrection room, then walked out the door with the jade leaf.

Lina was waiting for him quietly outside the door.

"All done?"

"Okay, thank you. How about I treat you to a dinner I'll cook for you tonight?"

"OK!"

This world is rich in resources, but perhaps because the strong are more interested in pursuing power, its food culture is not flourishing.

Lina was amazed by the dinner Li Ming had personally prepared last time.

She was very happy to be able to get another free meal today.

She volunteered, "What do you need? I can help you with the work."

"I really need your help to make this trip. I have enough ingredients for cooking; the previous owner grew a lot of vegetables in the orchard, that should be enough."

"But we're still missing some seasonings. Could you go to the market and buy some throat-burning herbs and paralyzing fruits for me..."

Li Ming told Lina about the herbs and fruits he had found over the past few days that tasted similar to spices like chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns from his previous life.

"No problem, wait for my good news!"

After Lina left, Li Ming went to the orchard and called Carlisle and his brother Elvis. The three of them picked fruit and prepared vegetables together.

When Lina returned, Li Ming was surprised to find that Elon had also followed.

"Brother Airon, what brings you to my humble abode?"

"You call this your humble abode? What about my little treehouse? A latrine?" Elon muttered.

Lina chimed in, "Don't worry about him. He was recently dismissed from his post and has nothing to do. My aunt asked me to look after him. You'll have to keep an eye on things tonight, is that alright?"

"No problem! How could there be a problem? Welcome, welcome!"

......

After the meal, everyone sat around the table to play mahjong, chatting as they played.

"Brother Airon, what's going on with your job? Is there a problem? Do you need my help?"

Lina scoffed from the side, "Him! He was the one who modified the design of the magic-powered vehicle. In the end, someone else reaped the benefits."

"So he quit in a fit of anger. That's why my aunt is worried about him and asked me to take care of him these days."

Li Ming asked in surprise, "What's going on? Twenty thousand!"

"When he submitted his design for the magic-powered vehicle to the council of elders, they produced an identical set of blueprints, and that's how he ended up!"

"Damn it, Brother Elon, you've been robbed! Or... is there a traitor among us?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I've replaced all the guards. Whether they're traitors or not, there's definitely a problem with inadequate supervision. Hmm... I've replaced the secretary too." Elon shrugged nonchalantly. "Ha, I won!"

"However, after I left, I discovered a very serious problem hidden in this design. Since someone on their team can already create a design exactly like mine, let them solve this problem themselves."

"Brother Elon, that's brilliant!"
