Chapter 40: Where Is the Monster From, How Dare It Create Trouble in Maple Leaf City?
[Mushroom Strength Pill: After using it, it can permanently increase 100 Strength without any side effects.]
[Mushroom Attack Pill: After using it, it can permanently increase 100 Attack without any side effects.]
[Mushroom Poison Pill: After using it, it can permanently increase 100 Poison Attack without any side effects.]
…
Seeing the medicine in the bottle, Mo Fan had the urge to use them immediately.
But looking at Dong Xinhui in front of him, he still held back.
The medicine was too good!
Too powerful!
There were no side effects.
When he was farming mushrooms, he got stunned for 9.9 billion seconds in exchange for 1000 points of stats.
Comparison truly was the killer of joy!
Seriously!
“Miss Dong, how do you sell… do you sell this?”
Mo Fan rubbed the medicine bottle back and forth. He felt reluctant to let it go.
“This is sold per pill. 100 gold coins per pill. I’ll give you a 50% discount. 50 gold coins per pill. How is it? It’s very cheap, right?”
Dong Xinhui took the chance when Mo Fan was not paying attention and snatched the bottle away. It was as if she was afraid Mo Fan would not give it back to her.
When Mo Fan heard the price, his lips twitched.
Damn, she called this cheap?
It was about a thousand dollars per pill!
Even at a 50% discount, it would cost 500 dollars!
Even the viagra sold in real life was not that expensive, right?
When Dong Xinhui saw Mo Fan’s expression, she knew what was going on and smiled.
“Why? Do you think it’s too expensive?”
“Let me tell you, I don’t provide this medicine to outsiders. I only asked because it is you.”
“If you don’t want them, I’m not planning to sell them!”
Dong Xinhui turned around and was about to put the medicine away.
“Ahh~ Wait!”
“I’ll buy them!”
Mo Fan immediately shouted. He was afraid that Dong Xinhui would not sell them.
Dong Xinhui’s lips curled up and she reached out a hand to Mo Fan.
She truly was a money-grubber!
…
He only had 1317 gold coins on him.
Mo Fan only bought 26 pills, mainly the stat pills.
Mo Fan swallowed the pills in one gulp.
All his stats increased by a few hundred.
Coupled with the increase in stats from before, if he wore Kuang Dao’s skin, his Attack would reach 120,000, and his HP would be at around 1,530,000.
Such stats made Mo Fan extremely confident in his abilities.
“Alright, I’ve sold you the medicine. You may leave.”
Dong Xinhui counted the gold coins Mo Fan gave her and waved him farewell.
What a money-grubber!
Although he still had a lot of silver coins, Mo Fan did not want to use them up so quickly.
After all, he did not know whether he needed them to enter Maple Leaf City.
Mo Fan shook his head slightly and left after looking at Dong Xinhui’s petite figure.
…
Looking at the huge city wall, Mo Fan still walked towards the city gate.

As for Dong Xinhui’s words, he did not take them seriously at all.
She could smell that Mo Fan was a mushroom monster.
It was probably her skill as a Pharmacist.
But not everyone in Maple Leaf City was a Pharmacist.
Thus, Mo Fan walked towards the city gate without any reservations.
There were two armed guards at the city gate.
Mo Fan glanced and saw that they were rather high-leveled.
[Blade Guard – Demon Slayer (Level 50)]
[Blade Guard – Fiend Slayer (Level 50)]
Their levels were much higher than Mo Fan’s, so he could not use his Demon Eyes.
Just like the other players, Mo Fan prepared to pass through the city gate.
But he was stopped by the two armed guards the moment he came close to the city gate.
“Stop!”
The two guards drew their long sabers and stared at Mo Fan as if they were facing a great enemy.
When the surrounding players saw this, they immediately stopped to watch.
“What’s wrong? I just want to enter the city. What’s the commotion all about?”
Mo Fan looked at himself carefully and did not find any flaws in his disguise.
He did not know why the two guards stopped him in his tracks.
“Hmph, you monster. Even if you take on human form, don’t even think about getting past the Demon Mirror.”
Fiend Slayer pointed at a small mirror above the city gate.
At this moment, everyone saw that in the mirror, Mo Fan’s appearance had turned into a monster.
Mo Fan sighed.
That mirror revealed his true form.
He did not expect that there was such a treasure at the city gate.
No wonder Dong Xinhui told him not to enter the city.
When the surrounding players saw this, they started discussing it with each other.
“Who would have thought that this person was actually a monster?”
“Monster? He must be a wild monster. Is it a Boss?”
“Hey, he looks… he looks the same as Bunao Biaoyin?”
“You don’t say, they really look alike!”
Soon, people recognized Mo Fan.
After all, the chrysanthemum flower on his back was too eye-catching.
Knowing that his identity was already exposed, Mo Fan decided not to hide anymore.
He removed his human skin and revealed his true form.
When the players saw the name above Mo Fan’s head, they instantly screamed.
“What a long name!”
“Bunao Biaoyin from the beginner village?”
“Oh my God, isn’t that Scarecrow Strawly?”
“It’s true. The names are the same. He issued those missions and failed us after we’ve spent time on them!
“In other words, he is Bunao Biaoyin, Scarecrow Strawly, and even Equipment Set Wholesaler?”
“Is he a player or a monster? How did he become like this?”
Some players immediately connected Mo Fan’s various identities.
The two guards with sabers sent a signal to the city and shouted at Mo Fan once again,
“No matter where you are, since you’re already here today, don’t even think about leaving!”
“That’s right! Us brothers will get rid of evil for the people today, we will subdue all demons and fiends!”
With that said, the two of them swung their blades and immediately attacked Mo Fan.

Mo Fan sneered when he saw this—he changed into Dog Yaksha’s skin and took out his Iron Crushing Fang.
“I just want to enter a city. Is there a need to do this?”
Before he could finish speaking, Demon Slayer’s and Fiend Slayer’s blades landed on Mo Fan.
The two armed guards had high levels and they moved at breakneck speeds.
Mo Fan could not dodge in time.
-182,384
-213,971
Mo Fan was shocked to see the two numbers floating above his head.
He did not expect the damage to be so high.
If he did not counterattack, he would probably die after a few strikes.
When the surrounding players saw that Mo Fan had transformed into another monster, they were all shocked. Some people even ran close and stared at the Dog Yaksha-like Mo Fan as if he was an animal in a zoo enclosure.
At this moment, Mo Fan gripped his Iron Crushing Fang tightly and slashed down!
“Fog – Injury of Wind!”
A gully appeared on the ground and swept both guards away.
Some of the surrounding players were also swept into it.
-63,293 (Fog – Injury of Wind)
-221,526 (Wind Rush Damage)
-221,526 (Wind Rush Damage)
-221,526 (Wind Rush Damage)
…
Large damage numbers floated into the sky.
The probability of Wind Rush triggering became extremely high under the effect of Iron Crushing Fang. Although Mo Fan currently did not have the 200% bonus from Kuang Dao’s skin, none of the players could withstand the sheer amount of damage that he could deal!
The players that got swept into [Injury of Wind] were insta-killed.
[Player Brick Carrier (Level 11) has been killed. Obtained 621 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Human Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Monster Reputation Point.]
[Player Peacock Facing Heaven (Level 12) has been killed…]
[Player Doctor for Various Conditions (Level 10) has been killed…]
…
After taking damage, the HP of the two armed guards was finally revealed.
[Blade Guard – Demon Slayer (Level 50) HP: 6,270,000/7,000,000]
[Blade Guard – Fiend Slayer (Level 50) HP: 6,270,000/7,000,000]
Both guards had 7 million HP.
Mo Fan’s attack had taken away one-tenth of their HP.
The two armed guards did not expect Mo Fan to be so strong.
They thought that he was a small fry, but they had kicked a steel plate this time!
Just now, the two of them were still thinking about how to split the credit for their upcoming achievement.
But now, they wanted to retreat.
The surrounding players were stunned by Mo Fan’s strength!
The players that got insta-killed were dumbfounded when they saw the damage number above their heads.
“What the f*ck, he even dared to attack the armed guards?”
“Wow, wow, wow! Someone touched these armed guards earlier and was cut down in one stroke. But he actually managed to endure their attacks? He’s simply too powerful!”
“Strawly’s too strong!!”
“You should say that Bunao Biaoyin is awesome!”
“What? It should be that Brother Set is awesome!”
“Alright, alright… No matter what it is, we should stay away from this fight.”
“That’s right! If Brother Set unleashes his might and he accidentally strikes out in our direction, we will all lose our lives.”
Some players exclaimed as they spread the news that Mo Fan was here.
Immediately afterwards, players from all over rushed over to see what this monster Mo Fan looked like.
There were also some players who contacted their own forces and started to investigate Mo Fan’s situation in the game.
Mo Fan’s identity was exposed and every major force started to pay him close attention.
After all, most forces would either rope in or suppress someone whose strength was simply game-breaking.
…
At this moment, there was a commotion up ahead.
Soon, a group of soldiers ran out of the city gate.
Their leader was a middle-aged general with a mustache.
He was riding on a yellow-maned horse.
And before he had arrived, he shouted:
“Where is this monster from? How dare it cause trouble in Maple Leaf City?”
“General Li, this monster disguised itself as a human and wanted to enter the city, but it was stopped by the two of us!”
“That’s right, General Li! This monster is very powerful. Fortunately, General arrived in time!”
The two guards respectfully replied.
Li Zhancheng glanced at the two of them and snorted. “Useless trash, you can’t even handle a weak monster!”
…
Mo Fan looked at the sudden change in front of him, but he did not stop his attacks.
“Fog – Dragon Scale Iron Crushing Fang!”
A golden ray of light instantly appeared on the blade of the Iron Crushing Fang.
It started to tremble nonstop.
He had just used ‘Fog – Injury of Wind’ and was in the state of ‘Wind Rush’.
Mo Fan’s attack instantly increased by 500%!
He tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.
He could clearly feel the immense power contained within the Iron Crushing Fang.
When the Iron Crushing Fang was about to break from the vibrations it was experiencing, Mo Fan swung it towards Li Zhancheng!
“Fog – Explosive Destruction!”
Two rays of yellow light burst forth from the Iron Crushing Fang, forming a hurricane that swept Li Zhancheng and many soldiers into it.
Then, there was a loud explosion!
-391,131 (Fog – Explosive Destruction)
-1,173,393 (Explosion Damage)
-1,173,393 (Explosion Damage)
-1,173,393 (Explosion Damage)
…
The moment Li Zhancheng arrived, he prepared to show off.
However, Mo Fan’s head-on attack stunned the aggressive Li Zhancheng.
[Garrison General Li Zhancheng (Level 50 Bronze Rank Boss) 9,090,000/13,000,000]
[Blade Guard – Demon Slayer (Level 50) HP: 2,360,000/7,000,000]
[Blade Guard – Fiend Slayer (Level 50) HP: 2,360,000/7,000,000]
[Ordinary Soldier (Level 50) 1,090,000/5,000,000]
…
This move of Mo Fan’s did not only look good, but it was also incredibly powerful!
His single attack had caused a terrifying 3.91 million health points in damage.
It was even an AOE attack!
The surrounding players were stunned!
Not long after, cries of surprise reverberated.
“F*ck, who can withstand that kind of damage?”
“Didn’t they survive the attack?”
“I’m talking about us players! Who can endure that kind of damage!
“That’s right, it’s too terrifying! It directly took away a chunk of General Li’s HP!”
“Brother Set is really awesome. He’s probably invincible among us!”
“Brother Set had kept a low profile all along, but once he was forced to make a move, he had always shocked us all!”
“Yeah… He’s simply a monster!”
…

Bloody Grass
Dorian had an accident, a stupid one at that, and he died. He thought it was the end, that only darkness awaited him. That was until he woke up, in a room full of babies, Orochimaru of the Sannin inspecting every newborn, to see his potential new recruits, that he knew his life was going to go from bad to worse. (Cover is what I picture Dorian/Jin to look like when he'll be 15, It doesn't come from me, the character on it is from Tokyo Raven, a nice anime that I enjoyed watching)
8 71The Order and The Lost
An ensemble cast on both sides of the line between good and evil walk towards disaster. Every chapter is a different lead from the previous. I apologize for the sometimes awful character names. Part of the Demonsword Project universe (First Age). Started during NaNoWriMo 2018 but never finished. Updates Monday and Friday for now.
8 160Somatic Horizon - A LitRPG Odyssey
The World of Zones. An untamable realm of XP and Levels where almost anything can happen and yet amongst that chaos one group stands at the top: Outlanders. A class of immensely powerful humans who appear only a handful of times in a millennium, claiming to be from a place called "Earth". Their arrivals—for better or worse—often mark the beginning of a new era. Huay Celashen is one such Outlander except, unlike her predecessors, she has no dreams of venturing through unknown lands or conquering the world's nations. All she wants is a peaceful life but, despite her unparalleled talents, that goal seems further out of her reach with each passing day! Chapters will probably be weekly for now.
8 130Remorse
I have killed many people over my long life. Men, women, children. None have escaped the shadows that I control. It was only one tiny mistake that I made that changed my life forever. I underestimated her, and I would pay for my hubris. “For every death you have given, you will feel their pain.” What? “For every person you have killed, you will feel regret.” Wait, wait… “For every murder you have commited, you will know what you have done.” I don’t think this is going to be pretty. The power leaves her voice as she continues in a softer tone. “I will give you back what you have lost, you will feel empathy again.” Her power releases me and I fall to the ground. Diana. That was her name. I will remember it. ******** This story starts out somewhat dark, but it will lighten up after the first chapter. I tend to not enjoy the psychological tag too much since stories with the tag tend to be a little insane for my liking, but I feel that I would be remiss not putting it on this story, since a lot of it is about the psychology of the main character. All the content warnings are checked since I want to leave my options open to me for the future. I hope you enjoy.
8 144Obstinate Han
A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
