The Antidote
"What... what's going on?"
Without thinking twice, the player closest to Da Fei stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and cautiously inquired.
"Da Fei! Da Fei, are you alright?!"
Da Fei's expression was still filled with terror. For a moment, he felt an extreme chill, and then he found himself unable to move.
He was chilled!
He saw his teammates rushing over, their expressions anxious, shouting something, but he couldn't hear anything. All he could see was them frantically smashing the ice in front of him.
It's cold! So cold!
Da Fei felt as if his soul was about to freeze.
Just when he thought he was going to die, the icy feeling on his body vanished in an instant, so fast it was as if it had never existed.
"Da Fei!"
Hearing his teammates' voices, Da Fei finally came to his senses and checked his body.
It's better than ever before! Not only is there no cold, but the fatigue from the previous battle has completely disappeared.
"I'm fine." Da Fei looked at his teammates around him, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Hearing that Da Fei was alright, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Da Fei! Are you out of your mind? The guild leader already said that if you get cold while fighting Ice Wolf, you'll be frozen, and you still keep fighting even when you're freezing!"
Xiao Hei, who was closest to Da Fei, stepped forward and punched him in the shoulder.
Da Fei knew it was his fault. Gripping his shoulder and looking embarrassed, he said, "I was thinking of stopping after we finished off that Ice Wolf."
"You think I'm lacking that little bit of output?"
"Alright, let's not talk about that now. What happened just now? How did Da Fei suddenly... get better?"
"I don't know. I just heard Lord Qingfeng's flute music, and a red ripple drifted by from somewhere. Then the ice on Da Fei's body disappeared."
"Lord Qingfeng? Could it be...?"
Instantly, everyone turned to look at Jian Qingfeng and Zhou He behind them.
Jian Qingfeng's purple longsword stood before him, the white Short Flute hanging from its hilt particularly dazzling.
No one noticed that his hand, resting on the hilt of the sword, was trembling slightly.
"Lord Qingfeng, was that you just now?"
Having seen many big scenes, Jian Qingfeng was shocked inside, but he didn't show it on his face. His sharp gaze was fixed on Da Fei.
The oppressive aura emanating from the strongest individual made Da Fei break out in a cold sweat, and he unconsciously lowered his head.
A long time.
Jian Qingfeng finally spoke, "This is a one-time exception."
Da Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Lord Qingfeng saving my life. I won't do it again."
Although everyone was curious about how Jian Qingfeng had rescued Da Fei, no one dared to ask in the current situation.
Zhou He stepped forward at the opportune moment. "I've repeatedly reminded everyone not to be greedy for damage output; your own safety is more important. Da Fei, if it weren't for Lord Jian Lord Qingfeng, you'd be dead today, you know that?"
"Commander, I really know I was wrong. I promise I'll never do it again."
Seeing Da Fei's sincere attitude, and considering that they still had to clear land, Zhou He had no choice but to put the matter aside.
"A crowd control break skill? What's that? I don't think I've ever heard of it."
The others murmured amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, Jian Qingfeng's heart was already churning with turmoil.
"It really works! So this is how skills can be created! Xiao Fan is a genius! This crowd control removal is so useful!"
How should I put it? Although it doesn't have the same imposing presence as Sword Charge.
But he only needs to play a quiet tune on his flute, its melodious sound capable of turning the tide of battle and saving lives from a hundred meters away.
It's super classy, isn't it?
Jian Qingfeng was already considering whether to buy two more skill books like this from Xiao Fan. After all, he didn't use many of his old skills anymore, so he might as well switch to musical instrument skills.
Just as Jian Qingfeng was still reeling from the shock of the skill, a player struck the last Ice Wolf with a single blow. The Ice Wolf's health was depleted, and its corpse fell to the ground.
At the same time, a green bead floated up above its corpse.
The player suddenly remembered the item Zhou He had mentioned earlier and shouted excitedly.
"Guild leader, come quick! An item really dropped!"
Jian Qingfeng and Zhou He exchanged a glance and quickly ran forward.
Pick up the bead above the corpse, and a system notification sound will play.
Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Antidote.
"Antidote?"
Zhou He checked the detailed information about the Antidote.
"Eating it can neutralize the Wolf Poison within one, preventing them from becoming a mindless Puppet under the Wolf King's control."
Zhou He was shocked. "Xiao Fan's analysis was completely correct!"
Previously, he simply felt that Xiao Fan's analysis of the secret realm was very insightful.
Looking back now, that wasn't just thorough; it was absolutely flawless!
He had never been to the secret realm, yet he could make accurate judgments.
Is Xiao Fan really a new player who has been playing the game for less than two months?
"Zhou He, how is he?" Jian Qingfeng asked anxiously.
Zhou He turned his head, his face still showing shock. "This item is the Antidote to removing the redness from a player's health bar!"
Jian Qingfeng was stunned for a moment before slowly saying, "Xiao Fan is truly a divine being!"
With the Antidote available, the team was full of confidence for the first boss.
Before setting off, Zhou He sent Xiao Fan a message to inform him that the situation of the Dungeon was completely consistent with his analysis.
In Zone 18, Xiao Fan wasn't particularly happy after seeing Zhou He's message. Instead, it made him feel that the game <Cloud Sea> seemed to be changing.
It's becoming increasingly detached from reality, and more and more like a real online game.
Thinking that the mobs had the Frozen passive ability, and the Ice Wolf BOSS would probably have it too, Xiao Fan reminded Zhou He, then closed the chat window.
Today, Zone 18 is going to do something big.
After the construction system was released, Wind Snow Traveler planned to build a city wall for the Novice Village, as the current wooden fences would be insufficient to defend against Beast Tide.
It concerns everyone's lives, and no one objected.
Today, new players are chopping trees in the Southwest Forest, while veteran players are collecting stones in the mountains.
Xiao Fan looked at Wind Snow Traveler's design; the city wall was magnificent, and it would take several days of felling trees to repair it.
Because Xiao Fan has made significant contributions to Zone 18, he is exempt from participating in this activity.
Xiao Fan didn't want to take advantage of anyone, so he generously covered the extraction fee of 50,000 Core Power.
"Brother Chen is so generous!"
For players in the Novice Zone, 50,000 Core Power is no small amount.
For Xiao Fan, who has a net worth of millions, it's all small change.
Wouldn't it be better to save your time to create skill books and sell them to wealthy clients to make money?
After the villagers went out to work, Xiao Fan opened the game interface and began creating skill books.
What type of skill book should we create?
The first thing Xiao Fan thought of was healing skills.
The government is about to announce the healing methods for Blood Bar Healing, so selling healing skill books at this time will definitely be profitable.
Only.
"What weapon should I use for healing skills?" Xiao Fan frowned.
Since Blue Star originally had no magical myths or legends, the people here did not have the concept of weapons such as staves or magic wands, let alone use them.
Since the Trading House cannot currently list weapons and equipment, Xiao Fan must create healing skill books that can be used with conventional weapons.
"Creating skill books is still quite difficult," Xiao Fan sighed.
Swords can use sword energy, musical instruments can use sound waves; weapons and skill books must have this inherent relationship for the success rate to increase.
We need to find a way to make all weapons usable with healing abilities.
Xiao Fan racked his brains, recalling all the games he had played in his previous life.
Finally, he came up with a solution!
