Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. ๐
Chapter 50. (1/2)
After passing Chang City, no developed countries or cities are on either side of the long highway. It is basically continuous mountains and forests, with large and small abandoned villages and towns scattered in between.
Lu Ya rarely speaks, walking silently at the front of the team, more like a high-level bodyguard hired by the base for the team. He Jing is responsible for arranging some daily trivial matters.
Unless a large number of high-level monsters appear, Lu Ya will not easily take action.
But there are still many monsters that run over after smelling them. The team can encounter three or five waves a day, with C-level monsters at most. Such a group of dozens of monsters will basically have three or two high-level monster leaders, so the six teams divide the work to kill the monsters. Gu Fan follows Xinghe and the other four, and there is a chance to practice every time.
Sheng Xi narrowed his eyes after witnessing Gu Fan kill a B-level monster alone.
During the break, Sheng Xi came over with a drink bottle and handed it to Gu Fan.
He has handsome features and a gentle smile, which is very attractive to girls. Such behaviour can easily make girls fall in love with him.
Unfortunately, Gu Fan doesn’t buy it.
“You take care of me so much. Aren’t you afraid that Lu Yao will be jealous?” Facing the peach-flavoured fruit drink, Sheng Xi handed over, Gu Fan motionlessly asked.
Sheng Xi smiled and said, “I admire Miss Gu’s alchemy skills. I try to please you in order to learn some basics from you one day. Yaoyao understands and won’t mind this.”
Meng Lianying said faintly, “Aren’t you afraid that my cousin will mind? Fanfan is his ex-girlfriend after all. You approached his ex-girlfriend in front of everyone while ignoring his half-sister. Is this what a human being does?”
Fenghuo: “You don’t understand this. I heard that the Sheng family has a dual-system S-level strongman who replaced Young Master Lu as the new generation leader of the Jiangnan Base. Of course, Captain Sheng can ignore Young Master Lu’s face.”
Meng Lianying looked very unhappy and said to Gu Fan, “If you say another word to him, I will pretend that you are not my friend.”
He looked like he was dissatisfied on behalf of his cousin.
Gu Fan made a “nothing to say” gesture to Sheng Xi.
Sheng Xi wanted to find out what Gu Fan’s ability level was. However, after Meng Lianying’s interference, he returned empty-handed.
Sheng Xi couldn’t do it himself, so he went to find He Jing.
“Gu Fan was originally said to have C-level abilities in both wood and fire, but now you see she has mastered all five abilities, and her level seems to be far beyond C-level.”
He Jing understood what Sheng Xi meant, glanced in the direction of Lu Ya, and said, “She is a retail investor, and it is normal for her to hide her strength when she came to the base alone. However, her real strength is good news for the base.”
Sheng Xi: “Do you think she is willing to work for the base?”
He Jing: “If she is really selfish and cold-blooded, she would not have taken so many flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pills. I think she just doesn’t like being bound. For such a talent, the base should impress her with sincerity, not coerce her. Sheng Xi, I know what you are planning. I advise you to be quiet. If you really push Gu Fan away, all the responsibility is on you.”
After saying that, He Jing decisively changed a place to rest, as if she would be stained with some bad smell if she was close to Sheng Xi.
Sheng Xi’s face darkened.
Gu Fan rested against the tree trunk and actually saw the scene clearly.
She knew the five major families in the base could not all be villains like the Sheng family.
Gu Fan set up a tent for herself when she rested that night.
Fenghuo: “Fanfan, you won’t live with us?”
Gu Fan: “I’ll make pills tonight.”
Her voice was not low, and all the other psychics looked over.
Gu Fan said openly: “Xinghe told me that we will enter Zhang City in a few days. It used to be a tourist destination. All tourist destinations are rich in high-level monsters. I will make a few furnaces of flesh-regenerating and blood-replenishing pills for everyone in advance, just in case.”
The magic of the flesh-regenerating and blood-replenishing pills has spread among the top leaders of the base. Those present are all A-level psychics, so they naturally heard about it.
He Jing was the first to say, “The pills are precious. We can’t take them for free. You name a price.”
Gu Fan smiled and said, “It’s not the pills that are precious, but the herbs used to make the pills. I only took out 2,000 pills before the beast tide because I didn’t have any herbs. I went to An City with Captain Lu and accidentally collected some at the bottom of a lake. It takes time to make pills. Those 2,000 pills were all my inventory. I gave them all to Captain Lu before the beast tide. Oh, you don’t have to blame him for not telling you. In fact, he didn’t know I had such a good thing. I was weak and was afraid that you would arrest me as a hard laborer, so I kept it secret from him. Later, when the base was about to be lost, I took it out.”
Except for Sheng Xi’s faction, He Jing and others did not doubt that Lu Ya would have selfish motives. Otherwise, Lu Ya could have given all 2,000 flesh-regenerating and blood-replenishing pills to the strong men of the Lu family army.
He Jing: “What herbs do you need? If we collect them, can you help us refine them?”
Gu Fan explained: “You don’t have to bother to collect them. I have herbs to cultivate. What I lack now is a place where I can cultivate herbs and refine pills with peace of mind.”
Sheng Xi: “If you come back to the base with us, we will provide you with anything you need for free.”
Gu Fan: “I just need freedom, the freedom to enter and exit the base, the freedom to refine pills as I like, the freedom to give you as many pills as I want, not the freedom to refine as many pills as you want me to refine.”
He Jing was silent for a moment and said: “If we want to learn alchemy, what kind of reward do we need?”
Gu Fan: “You can’t learn it, I am already teaching someone earlier if it can.”
He Jing looked at Lu Ya.
Lu Ya nodded.
Gu Fan didn’t want to say anything more. Before entering the tent, she said to Lu Ya in a bossy manner: “You keep watch for me. Unless I come out by myself, no one is allowed to disturb me. The herbs are limited and I don’t want to waste them.”
After that, she went into the tent.
Lu Ya walked outside her tent expressionlessly and sat on the ground, obedient, as if Gu Fan was the marshal and he was just a guard.
He Jing’s eyes flashed with complexity, and he walked away.
Meng Lianying was gloating: “Cousin, cousin, I didn’t expect you to have this day.”
Back then, his cousin was like a landlord who bullied men and women in front of Gu Fan. Now, his cousin is more obedient to Gu Fan, like a grandson.
Lu Ya closed his eyes as if he couldn’t hear anything.
The onlookers showed kind smiles and went to rest. Because of the pills, they finally understood why the young marshal, who had once been so ruthless, would be tempted by the world. Not to mention Gu Fan’s beauty and her alchemy skills were unique in the entire world. Who would not be tempted by such a god?
