This Quest Is Not Worth Doing!

Fang Yue was a bit bewildered.

This Pill Toxin was like a tornado, appearing and disappearing as it pleased?

Once he came to his senses, Fang Yue realized that the [Pill Toxin] had been healed by [Night's Breath] as if it were an injury.

Fang Yue was instantly shocked!

If [Pill Toxin] could be suppressed and healed by [Night's Breath], wouldn't that mean... I could take medicine indefinitely?

This thought immediately startled Fang Yue.

In a game where no Player could freely take medicine, what did it mean to be able to take medicine indefinitely?

We usually use two words to describe such a person: a drug fiend!

What Anomaly, what Captain, what Lord Han.

If I take 170,000 bottles of medicine, can you kill me?

If you can kill me, I'll eat this [Pill Toxin] on the spot!

Woohoo, let's fly!

Fang Yue was both excited and smug.

The song "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible" in his mind inexplicably started playing on repeat.

I, Fang Yue, take medicine, I'm invincible, understand?

He even secretly imagined that in the future, when he encountered enemies.

When crazily taking medicine in front of the enemy, he must first say something.

"Sorry, I'm destined to be a drug fiend! I said it, and even Pill Toxin can't stop me!"

After killing the enemy, he would dance on the enemy's corpse and then deliver the classic ending.

"I had no choice before, but now I want to be a drug fiend!"

Cultivation is bitter, taking medicine leads to ascension!

Fang Yue remembered that Lord Han had said that there were many types of pills, and some were specifically for aiding cultivation.

Others take one pill a day, while I'll be eating them like candy, taking one whenever I feel like it, won't I soar!

In his excitement, Fang Yue completely forgot that just a minute ago, he was cursing [Pill Toxin] for stealing his Lifespan.

[Night's Breath] could only heal [Pill Toxin], and not necessarily all of it.

After all, Pill Toxin was determined by the ingredients of the pills, and it was ever-changing, with all sorts of effects, yet they were all collectively called Pill Toxin.

In fact, if Fang Yue didn't have [Analysis Pupil], he could only stare blankly at the [Pill Toxin] and have no idea of its effects.

Moreover, [Night's Breath] had a process for healing [Pill Toxin], and during this healing period, the [Pill Toxin] would still be effective.

Normal Pill Toxin was fine, but if he took too much medicine and got something special, Fang Yue would definitely die instantly.

Fortunately, Fang Yue was just talking big.

After the excitement, he calmed down and thought a lot, his expression somewhat dejected. He had clearly thought of these difficulties and knew that the path of taking medicine was not that simple.

After all, who could guarantee that the next [Pill Toxin] wouldn't poison him to death?

However, the fact that [Night's Breath] could heal [Pill Toxin] did offer some room for maneuver.

Fang Yue's mind still came up with quite a few ideas, and he planned to find time to act on them.

For now...

Fang Yue looked at the second status in the status bar.

"Name: Exhaustion."

"Effect: General weakness."

"Description: Aftereffects of complete physical exhaustion, rest well to recover."

"Remark: Noob!"

This was simple and easy to understand.

It just meant he was physically exhausted and needed to rest.

He just needed to lie down and recover.

It's not like the villagers would ignore me right after I saved them from the Anomaly that almost destroyed the village, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Yue looked at the surrounding villagers.

He saw them cheering one after another, shouting Fang Yue's name, and for a moment, Fang Yue was in the spotlight.

This made Lin Ling's eyes turn red with jealousy.

To be honest, he and Hua Wuye were the main damage dealers.

If he and Hua Wuye hadn't weakened the [Force-Driving Anomaly], reducing its strength, how could Fang Yue have defeated that Anomaly?

In terms of merit, he and Hua Wuye were among the top!

It's a shame that others only saw Fang Yue's final glorious victory, but forgot that the dozen or so punches he landed earlier weren't even enough to scratch Hua Wuye.

Overcome with jealousy, Lin Ling's injuries flared up, and he coughed a few more times.

He was so angry he had to stop thinking about this damned matter, otherwise, his life would be in danger.

The Anomaly was dead, and the spotlight once again turned to the issue of Lord Han's successor, pointing at him and Fang Yue. Lin Ling's eyes filled with hostility until he saw the [Force-Driving Anomaly] beside Fang Yue gradually turning into a pile of Black Embers on the ground. Only then did his expression falter for a moment before breaking into a smile.

"Black Embers! And so much of it! Such a rich color, the quality is excellent!"

Without a second thought, Lin Ling, dragging his Severely Wounded body, walked towards the Black Embers beside Fang Yue.

This startled Fang Yue so much that he jolted.

Damn it! This guy's trying to steal my loot!

With a strength he didn't know he had, he suddenly stood up, reaching out to grab the Black Embers on the ground.

The next moment, two system prompts sounded almost simultaneously.

"System Notification: [Exhaustion] status has been removed."

"System Notification: Congratulations, you have obtained Black Embers X10g."

People's physiques can't be generalized. I once directly removed the [Exhaustion] status in a moment of extreme urgency!

Watching Captain Lin stop midway, his face a mixture of shock, confusion, frustration, and hatred, Fang Yue couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Trying to beat me in a speed contest? You're still twenty years short of being single!

Including what he had obtained before, Fang Yue's current amount of Black Embers was [16g].

Although he still didn't know what Black Embers were used for, judging by how anxious even Captain Lin was, it must be something good.

Keep it, keep it all. It's all my spoils of war, I must keep it safe.

The people around didn't notice this detail.

After Fang Yue killed the [Force-Driving Anomaly], they had been excitedly celebrating the victory of their defensive battle.

They praised Fang Yue endlessly, showering him with affection.

Perhaps before today, many villagers in Ancient Moon Village didn't even know Fang Yue.

But after today, Fang Yue's good reputation spread throughout the entire Ancient Moon Village.

Yet, Fang Yue didn't feel much of it.

So, when Fang Yue heard the system prompt, he was a little dazed.

"System Notification: Congratulations Player for gaining the villagers' affection, [Ancient Moon Village] Favorability +15."

"Current [Ancient Moon Village] Favorability: 12 points."

"System Notification: The villagers have become friendlier towards you. Some villagers are willing to talk to you, and some are willing to help you... Players are encouraged to explore the game content further."

Huh? What's the point of this?

Fang Yue's first reaction was that it was useless, but he quickly realized that this might be a prerequisite for accepting villager quests.

A bunch of ungrateful wretches who needed me to risk my life fighting Anomalies just to survive, and they won't even offer benefits directly, but I need to do quests for them? This is ridiculous!

Fang Yue pouted, feeling so humble. After becoming a hero, he still had to grovel and beg villagers for quests.

Forget it, I won't do these quests!

"Little Ye, I want the [Black Ash] in your hand. I'm willing to trade ten days of Lifespan for it!"

Ding!

"System Notification: Congratulations Player for triggering Captain Lin's personal quest [Request Black Embers]. Do you wish to accept?"

Fang Yue: !!

Smells like... true fragrance!!!
