Chapter 39: Cough… Are You Using My Mushrooms as Medicine?

That’s too many Reputation Points!

He had to think of a way to restore his reputation points!

Mo Fan’s face darkened as he watched his reputation points being deducted in real-time.

20,000 Reputation Points was not a lot. He could earn it back in a few hours.

However, this amount could buy him Dog Yaksha’s skin!

Hence, Mo Fan still felt a little heartache.

He took a deep breath and looked at the mission panel.

Mo Fan was prepared to complete Miss Dong’s task first.

He could farm the Reputation Points anytime.

Since he was already at the mission location, it was better to do the mission first.

Miss Dong’s mission gave at least five million points of Spiritual Energy.

It could make up for his losses.

After confirming the direction of the mission location, Mo Fan walked towards Maple Leaf City.

After about ten minutes, Mo Fan arrived outside Maple Leaf City.

At this moment, he had already changed his scarecrow skin to human skin.

There were already many players entering and exiting the city.

There were also some buildings outside the city. They were all houses for farmers.

The direction of the mission notification indicated that he was close to the objective.

Mo Fan walked inside for a while before arriving in front of a courtyard.

But before he could enter, a slender and elegant young lady walked out from the courtyard.

Looking at this little girl, Mo Fan was stunned!

Wasn’t this the little girl who picked his mushrooms?!

“Hey, who are you? What are you doing at my house?” The little girl looked at Mo Fan warily.

At this moment, Mo Fan was wearing human skin and the little girl did not recognize him at all.

“You’re… Miss Dong?” Mo Fan asked in doubt.

“I’m Dong Xinhui. Are you looking for me?” Dong Xinhui was confused.

She had never seen Mo Fan before.

After Mo Fan received an affirmative answer, his expression became fantastic to look at.

Earlier, this Dong Xinhui had pulled his…

At the thought of that shameful scene, Mo Fan felt his face burn.

“Hey, what exactly are you doing?”

“Ah, I’m here to hand in my mission!”

Mo Fan immediately looked at the mission panel.

Normal Mission: Find Miss Dong (Unique) (Can Be Handed In)

When he realized that he could hand in the mission, he immediately clicked on it.

After Mo Fan submitted the task, Dong Xinhui seemed to have received a message and her face turned pale.

Then, she muttered,

“Yu… Yu’er…”

“I’m the one who harmed you!”

“I’m sorry!”

Dong Xinhui immediately sobbed. She squatted sadly on the ground.

Mo Fan did not expect this outcome.

What was going on?

Yu’er asked him to help her find Young Miss.

The latter said that the former was kidnapped by a monster.

Judging from the situation, why did Dong Xinhui act like Yu’er was the one captured by a monster?

After finding the so-called Young Miss, to think that this would happen…

At this moment, Mo Fan was also very confused.

Looking at Dong Xinhui who was squatting on the ground, he did not know what to say.

Don’t just cry, at least give me the mission reward, right?

“Miss Dong, are you alright?”

Hearing Mo Fan’s question, Dong Xinhui’s cries gradually became softer.

After a while, she wiped her tears and stood up.

“Young Master, thank you for bringing news of Yu’er.”

“I suppose you’re also very confused as to why Yu’er would give you such a mission.”

“When I was still very young, I was rather naughty. I took Yu’er to explore the Dense Fog Forest and met a monster. I was captured by that monster back then.”

“Just as I was about to die under the demonic creature’s claws, the Great Envoy appeared and saved me.”

“When we went back to find Yu’er, we found that she had already—”

Dong Xinhui started crying once again.

“Life and death are up to fate. Don’t be too sad.”

Mo Fan could not bear to see this little girl cry so sadly, so he comforted her.

After all, he had been intimate with her before. Even though it was something like that, there was nothing wrong with comforting her.

“Young Master, what are you saying? Yu’er isn’t dead!” Dong Xinhui glared at Mo Fan.

“What? Not dead?”

“It is good that she is not dead! It is good that she is not dead!”

Mo Fan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

What the heck was going on? Judging by her performance, he thought that Yu’er was dead.

Mo Fan almost vomited blood.

“When we went over, we found that Yu’er was demonized by the demonic creature!”

“Then the Great Envoy used a spell and sealed Yu’er there.”

“After she was demonized, Yu’er became extremely powerful. From then on, she would send an avatar out of the seal every year to lure me over to here.”

“Therefore, she will assign missions to those who pass by here.”

“And if I went over there, she will send her avatar out and kill me without hesitation!”

“It’s all my fault after all. I was… I was the one who harmed her. If I did not insist on going to the Dense Fog Forest, her fate would’ve been different altogether!”

Dong Xinhui’s sad expression did not seem to be fake.

After hearing her explanation, Mo Fan finally understood what was going on.

“Miss Dong, who is this Great Envoy?”

“Lord Great Envoy is the Realm Envoy! People call him the Unfettered One.”

As expected, it was him…

Mo Fan suddenly recalled the scene where the Unfettered One defeated the King of Dense Fog.

Dong Xinhui gradually put away her sad expression and slowly said,

“Young Master, thank you for listening to me talk so much. All these years, I’ve been holding these words in my heart for so long. It’s simply unbearable.”

“It’s fine. It’s my honor to be able to help you!”

Mo Fan smiled. This little girl probably did not know that he was that mushroom monster.

Dong Xinhui took a closer look at Mo Fan and seemed to have realized something.

She walked over to Mo Fan and circled him twice.

She even sniffed it with her nose, and her expression turned a little strange.

“Miss Dong, what’s wrong?”

“You—you—”

Dong Xinhui pointed at Mo Fan.

Her hands trembled, either from anger or shock.

“What about me?”

Mo Fan also pointed at himself with a strange expression.

“You… you’re the mushroom monster?”

Dong Xinhui was uncertain at first, then she asked resolutely.

“I’m not a mushroom monster. I’m me. How can I be a mushroom monster?!”

Mo Fan quickly shook his head and retorted.

He was slightly surprised.

Why was this woman’s nose so sharp?

She could smell it?

Could it be that he still smelled like mushrooms?

Why couldn’t he smell it himself?

Mo Fan did not want to admit that he was the mushroom monster.

Otherwise, how awkward would it be?

“Young Master, although I don’t know how you became a human, I’ll give you a piece of advice since you came here to hand in your mission. It’s best if you don’t enter Maple Leaf City.”

Dong Xinhui paused for a while before continuing:

“Yu’er will probably never recover in this lifetime unless the Great Envoy lends us a hand once again.”

“Young Master, can you do me a favor?”

When Mo Fan heard Dong Xinhui’s words, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that another mission was coming?

“Of course!”

“I see that you are also an extraordinary person. You will definitely become a great person in the future. If possible, can you help me ask the Great Envoy to save Yu’er?”

Dong Xinhui looked at Mo Fan expectantly.

“No problem!”

Mo Fan accepted the task without thinking.

“Young Master, this is for you!”

Dong Xinhui handed a pink ribbon to Mo Fan.

[System Notification: Congratulations on completing “Find Miss Dong (Unique)”. You have received 5,000,000 points of Spiritual Energy and obtained “Misty Aurora Ribbon”]

[Red Mission Accepted: Yu’er’s Difficulty (Unique)]

[Yu’er has already turned into a demon. Convince the Unfettered One to exterminate Yu’er’s demonic nature and let her return to normal.]

[Mission Reward: ???]

Seeing the reward and the mission that he had just accepted, Mo Fan was overjoyed.

Although he did not know what the mission reward was, just by looking at the “Red Mission” indication, he knew that the reward would not be too bad.

“Young Master, since you’re willing to help me, let’s add each other as friends. If there’s any progress, you must inform me immediately.” Dong Xinhui said.

“Add as friends?” Mo Fan’s face was filled with question marks.

How would an NPC like her add him as a friend?

But before he could react, a message suddenly flashed in his friend list.

[System Notification: Dong Xinhui has requested to be your friend. Do you agree?]

Mo Fan directly agreed.

[System Notification: Congratulations on becoming good friends with Dong Xinhui!]

“Alright, we’re good friends now. Your name is so strange. Bunao Biaoyin?”

Dong Xinhui covered her mouth and laughed. She looked really pretty.

Mo Fan looked at Dong Xinhui in front of him and thought of that charming scene from back then.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first!”

Mo Fan gulped and said slowly.

“Okay, you go ahead. I’ll stay here. If you need anything, you can look for me directly.”

Dong Xinhui nodded and thought of something.

“Oh right, I’m a Pharmacist. If you get injured in the future, you can come to me. I’ll give you a 50% discount for your treatment.”

“That’s good. Do you have any medicine for sale?”

“Yes! Follow me!”

Dong Xinhui brought Mo Fan to her courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Mo Fan realized that it was quite big.

There were some unknown herbs in the open space of the courtyard.

The fragrance of medicine was everywhere.

After entering the house, the medicinal fragrance became even stronger.

Inside was a medicine hall, and on the cabinet directly in front were some bottles and jars.

Dong Xinhui took out some medicine bottles and handed them to Mo Fan.

“Young Master, since this is your first time at my house. I’ll give you these bottles of medicine as a gift!”

“Thank you, Miss Dong.”

Mo Fan took the medicine bottles. He received three types of medicine.

Looking at the description of these medicines, his mouth went agape.

[Breeze Jade Dew Pill (Medium): Restores 2000 HP instantly after use. Cooldown: 10 seconds.]

[Breeze Jade Dew Pill (Large): Restores 5000 HP instantly after use. Cooldown: 15 seconds.]

[Life Restoration Talisman (Small): Reduce the cooldown of potions by half after use. Duration: 1800 seconds.]

There were a total of three bottles of Breeze Jade Dew Pills (Medium). Each bottle had 100 pills.

There were a total of two bottles of Breeze Jade Dew Pills (Large). Each bottle had 50 pills.

There was only one Life Restoration Talisman (Small).

Such a gift could be said to be of great help to Mo Fan.

After all, they were all life-saving items that could be used at critical moments.

In the early stages of the game, potions had always been scarce.

In fact, Mo Fan had already used up all the life recovery potions that he had.

“The recovery effect of this medicine is too good. Did you make all these?” Mo Fan asked Dong Xinhui.

Actually, he still wanted some.

But he did not know what price Dong Xinhui would ask for them.

“That’s right. I’m an Advanced Pharmacist. It’s not difficult to make these medicines.”

“By the way, I also used some of the mushrooms that I picked from you to make medicine.”

“If you want them, you’ll have to pay!”

With that, Dong Xinhui took out a small bottle and handed it to Mo Fan with a proud look.

Seeing the details of the medicine, Mo Fan’s eyes widened even more.
