The Boss Behind The Game
Chapter 167: The Hope For Gold (Part 1)
The game notification stunned Chen Ziyu and the group.
This lady before them did not cast any magic, meaning that this lady was carrying a healing halo somewhere with her.
At that moment, Chen Ziyu and his team had immediately changed their attitude toward Fengling.
Although restoring one health per second seemed insignificant, with hundreds of guild members who were involved in group battles, if the area shrouded by the halo was wide enough, they would be able to recover hundreds of health points per second, and up to tens of thousands for every minute.
Currently, the healing halos existed in the game, but were only applicable for a limited time. A large-scale group battle would take some time before the winner was decided. Therefore, this unlimited health-reviving halo could possibly affect the result of a group battle. Moreover, according to the analysis, the lady’s singing was able to increase the growing range.
She would be a powerful tool for group battles!
This idea hit Chen Ziyu and his company.
Staring at Fengling, who was carrying the jerky in her arms with a face full of delight, Xue Li suddenly spoke, “Sister, do you wish to have unlimited jerky?”
“Of course!” Fengling replied without any hesitation.
“Follow us on our journey then. As long as you’re with us, you’ll have an unlimited supply of meat. We also have a grilled fish stall at the Liuli Coast. We serve roasted meat, too…” Xue Li coaxed.
“Sure!” Fengling barely thought for a second before agreeing right away.
The members of the Great Dragon Guild were rendered speechless.
After realizing her abilities, Chen Ziyu intended to convince her to board the Great Dragon Warship, but he never expected it to be so easy. Looking at the innocent Fengling, Chen Ziyu was suddenly struck by guilt.
It was so easy to dupe her!
“However, I have to inform my clan members first. Do you want to come along?” Fengling said as she munched on the jerky, her cheeks puffed.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Chen Ziyu was originally here for the Sunset Herb. Although he unexpectedly acquired an innocent lady, he did not forget his main business. Therefore, the members of the Great Dragon Guild followed Fengling into the inner zone of Sunset Island.
“Fengling, are there a lot of Sunset Herbs here?” Chen Ziyu asked curiously as he walked in the silent woods and noticed the purple Sunset Herbs along their route.
“Yes, Sunset Herb is the most common plant on the island. Other than consuming this herb, we grind them to produce Sunset Powder which can heal wounds.”
“Sunset Powder? Do you have it with you?” Chen Ziyu was moved.
Fengling immediately took out a pack of powder from her straw bag, which was hanging around her waist, and handed it to Chen Ziyu.
“This is Sunset Powder.”
[Sunset Powder (Level Two Healing)]:
Item information: A healing medicinal powder produced by the Singingwood Clan, containing the spiritual energy of the Singingwood Clan. After consuming the entire pack, your health would be restored by six points per second and last for thirty seconds.
After seeing the attributes of the Sunset Powder, the guild bombarded their live chat channel.
“Boss, we have found our potion master! We’re going to be rich. Our Great Dragon Guild will rise in the near future!”
“Boss, let’s abduct their whole village. The Sunset Herb is everywhere and it is completely zero cost. We can then open a shop at Netherworld to sell potions, and soul coins will come flying to us.”
As he listened to the members’ suggestions, Chen Ziyu’s heart was beating faster.
Initially, he planned to harvest a great amount of Sunset Herbs and stockpile them before he could sell them in bulks when the officials launched the life character class. He was not expecting a clan capable of making potions on this island. This could really lead them to gold and glory!
With great excitement, Chen Ziyu and the others followed Fengling to her destination.
The Singingwood Clan’s village was surrounded by a sea of purple Sunset Herbs. A thick, old tree stood mighty at the center. Meanwhile, the villagers’ houses were built on the branches of this ancient tree, resembling an enormous fruit that grew on this tree. Their living environment was indeed dreamy and special.
Then, a strong wind swept past. The violet sea of Sunset Herbs swayed along the wind and the petals rose into the sky. The world before them turned completely purple, as if it was a dreamland.
“It’s so beautiful,” Xue Li reached out to grab some grass, feeling as though she had once again become a teenage girl.
It was then when Fengling pouted her red lips together and gently blew in the air. A light green puff rolled forward, pushing the purple plants to the side and a path was made before them.
“Let’s go. I’ll follow you after bidding goodbye to my clan,” Fengling said in excitement.
Seeing how gleeful Fengling was, Xue Li suddenly felt guilty, thinking that she might have gone overboard to lure such an innocent young lady to the outside world.
She was reminded of the members of the Wood Spirit Clan, who were once as innocent as Fengling, but had turned into what they were now. Xue Li could not help but shudder.
She muttered, “I’m sinning.”
When they reached the ancient tree, Chen Ziyu turned to look at the hundreds of guild members before he made an announcement in the guild live chat channel.
“Brothers, we have way too many people. Only Xue Li and Damang will come with me. The rest should just wait here.”
Upon receiving the order, the trio, including Chen Ziyu, ascended the grass woven stairs at Fengling’s heels.
[Entering the healing area of Quiet Ancient Tree, health restored by 50 points per second.]
The sudden game notification led Chen Ziyu and his gang’s eyes to this old tree. A faint yet pleasant scent was wafting around the tree.
[Quiet Ancient Tree (Ghost King Peak)]:
Detailed Explanation: The guarding spirit of Sunset Island had been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, but his cultivation had stagnated at the Ghost King Peak Realm. He then dismissed all the soul energy within his body in order to surpass all realms, hoping to live by dying. When the withered tree welcomes the day of spring, it will be when the Ghost Emperor reigns.
“Oh my god, this tree is as strong as the Sea King!” Xue Li’s eyes popped out of her head.
Wang Damang, who was standing to the side, instinctively touched the tree bark with his shivering hands. His fingers, which were held in the air, were pulsating.
“What are you doing!” Chen Ziyu yelled at him.
“I… I wanted to scrape it into some powder,” Wang Damang smiled nervously after regaining his senses.
“It’s just endangered but it’s not dead. What if you bring it back to life? Moreover, this is the Singingwood Clan’s turf. Don’t fool around,” Chen Ziyu condemned him on the live chat channel.
Looking at the King Level spiritual materials before them, Wang Damang and Xue Li heaved a sigh. They had no choice but to give up and follow him up the tree.
Along their journey, beautiful faces continued to peek out of the houses, which were hanging on the tree, scanning Chen Ziyu and his gang with intrigue.
However, after noticing the jerky in Fengling’s hand, their gulps could be heard resonating across the atmosphere, making Chen Ziyu and his gang wanting to facepalm.
Just how badly are they craving for jerky? Their desire for meat seems to be overflowing!
“Sister Fengling, is… is that meat in your hands?” a bashful voice came from a woodhouse on the side.
They turned to see a cute little girl, who was delicate like a porcelain doll, biting on her fingers. Light gleamed on the droplets that were hanging from the corners while her eyes were glowing with strong thirst for the meat.
Upon seeing this, Fengling looked at the jerky in her hand. She offered the jerky with her trembling hands.
“Little Duoduo, this… this is meat. You can have it.”
After Duoduo received the jerky, Fengling shut her eyes, appearing very distressed.
Chen Ziyu, Wang Damang, and Xue Li were rendered speechless.
“Thank you, Sister Fengling!” Duoduo said as she drooled. Her eyes were fixed on the jerky. She did not even lay a glance on Fengling.
After they bid farewell to Duoduo, Fengling seemed to have lost her soul along their journey. As she walked, she was quivering.
Chen Ziyu and his pals were flustered by Fengling’s disheartened expression.
How obsessed is this clan for meat? It’s as if they have lost her inheritance.
