Chapter 118: Detoxification (Part 1)

After resolving the two enemies, Zhao Yuxin put down the Sea Buckthorn Bomb Thrower and helped Zhu Zhiquan sit down against the restaurant wall.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded: "Congratulations on killing other players, you have obtained 9 other player Card Points; your Card Points are now 15."

Zhao Yuxin ignored the system prompt and instead sat beside Zhu Zhiquan, watching his complexion turn sallow and his lips turn deep purple, while Zhu Zhiquan also began to grow drowsy, his eyes on the verge of being unable to stay open.

This made Zhao Yuxin panic, and she prepared to try to wake him. But when her gaze swept across the restaurant, her expression turned grave.

"Perhaps the Mysterious Merchant has an antidote." Thinking of this, she quickly cleared the battlefield and entered the restaurant, seeing the Mysterious Merchant sitting in its original spot at a glance.

The Mysterious Merchant still wore a hood, making its face impossible to see; at its feet lay a fragment, which must have fallen beside it during Zhu Zhiquan's fight just now.

However, seeing the other party motionless, it felt as if it did not care about the fight Zhu Zhiquan had just had.

Because Zhao Yuxin was unsure if this merchant was an unscrupulous one, she did not bring Zhu Zhiquan inside, nor did she directly ask for an antidote, as it was easy to be taken advantage of; after all, one could still be resurrected here if lucky.

So, in order not to be seen through, Zhao Yuxin first glanced at its goods, then pretended to ask casually: "Do you have any items specifically for detoxification?"

The Mysterious Merchant shook its head; Zhao Yuxin wanted to open the panel to check Zhu Zhiquan's health points, but worried about being seen by the other party, she did not look.

Thinking that Zhu Zhiquan's health points could hit zero at any moment, Zhao Yuxin's heart sank to the bottom, but thinking of her knowledge of plants, she continued to ask: "Then do you have any items for observing cellular structures?"

The Mysterious Merchant pointed to a small box on the side, and Zhao Yuxin immediately looked over.

Name: Gluttonous Microscope

Quality: White

Introduction: This is an incredibly gluttonous microscope; the more food you give it, the longer it will let you observe the microscopic world.

{Note: If you observe without feeding it, it is very likely to eat your eyes, so please be sure to remember to feed it. }

Price: 14 Card Points

After reading the information on the Gluttonous Microscope, Zhao Yuxin decisively bought it, and when the Mysterious Merchant handed it to her, it even gifted a set of glass slides.

After receiving them, Zhao Yuxin hurried to Zhu Zhiquan's side, dragged him behind a bush, and collected a drop of his blood to begin research.

"This is..." When Zhao Yuxin saw the microscopic world of the blood, she discovered that the poison Zhu Zhiquan had contracted was very similar to the microscopic structure of a certain plant toxin in "Plant Modification and Cultivation".

Then she began to recall the knowledge she had once read, but the content in the book had flashed by at the time, and she had not left much of an impression.

"Sigh~ how good it would be if that book hadn't disappeared immediately after being read!" Zhao Yuxin grumbled, while checking Zhu Zhiquan's health points.

Name: Zhu Zhiquan

Physique: 10 (—)

Strength: 10 (—)

Speed: 10 (—)

Magic Power: 7

Talents: Boiling Blood, Undead Pact*8, Hell Walker, Nightmare Demon Eye, Hell Body

Skill: Energy Storage Slash

Health Points: 32% (Poisoned)

Introduction: Omitted

Watching Zhu Zhiquan's slowly declining health points, Zhao Yuxin began to recall the contents of "Plant Modification and Cultivation" in large quantities.

"The structural characteristics of this toxin should be the features of the Horsetail Scorpion Grass; if this is the case..." Zhao Yuxin analyzed the structure of Zhu Zhiquan's toxin while thinking about how to detoxify him.

At this moment, her Bat Wing Ear picked up the sound of approaching players behind her; currently, Zhu Zhiquan had temporarily lost his combat effectiveness due to the poison, and she only had the Sea Buckthorn Bomb Thrower by her side; it would be bad if they were discovered.

She lay in the bushes, nervously watching the direction the footsteps were coming from, and discovered that besides the position clearly captured by her Bat Wing Ear, there were players approaching from both her left and right sides.

Fortunately, she was surrounded by bushes, so she was not easily discovered.

Worried that Zhu Zhiquan's body was still exposed, Zhao Yuxin pulled him further into the bushes to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

The first to arrive at the scene were Zheng Ge and Ma Chen; they immediately became vigilant when they saw the mess at the scene, and then they saw a man and a woman meeting them head-on.

And to the right of the two, two more men walked out; coupled with the traces of the battle at the scene, all three parties immediately drew their weapons and stared at each other.

"Ajiu needs an antidote now; if I move Ajiu around recklessly, it will be easy to be discovered. Not to mention anything else, those two men will definitely take advantage of the situation!

I'd better continue researching how to detoxify Ajiu here." Zhao Yuxin took a deep look at Ma Chen and Zheng Ge and analyzed the situation on the scene.

Afterward, Zhao Yuxin began to think about how to detoxify Zhu Zhiquan, while Ma Chen and the others, after a brief standoff, felt that the three parties were not together and began to try to communicate.

At the same time, Zhao Yuxin used Zhu Zhiquan's blood to perform a Plant Modification Array, with the flower she had studied earlier at the center of the array.

Just when she saw this flower earlier, Zhao Yuxin recalled the records in "Plant Modification and Cultivation," which explicitly stated that the name of this flower was the Linlan Flower.

And Zhao Yuxin vaguely remembered the description of this flower in the book; it was said to be suitable for use with other poisonous plants in a Plant Modification Array, which could then yield a corresponding detoxification ability.

As for whether it was correct, she could only say she vaguely remembered it, and Zhao Yuxin dared not be certain.

But Zhao Yuxin looked at Zhu Zhiquan's health points again; now his health points had reached 24%. Then she looked at Ma Chen's group and found that they had started to enter the restaurant.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief and began to operate the array to modify and fuse the Linlan Flower.

Only, what Zhao Yuxin did not know was that her actions were being watched by a man, who had also roughly guessed what she was doing.

It was just that because there were others around him, otherwise he would have rushed over to kill them long ago.

At this time, the woman behind him sent him a private message, and the man opened it to look.

"Master, when are we going to kill the two people behind the bushes? Didn't you say we could win easily? Why not go kill them now and plunder their Card Points?"

After reading the private message, the man glared viciously at the woman behind him.

The woman felt the man's gaze and could not stop trembling all over; from the bruises on her body, one could see that the man did not treat her well on a daily basis.

Clearly, when they first entered the game, the man was still a gentle and elegant gentleman. But upon knowing that he and she were both trapped in the game, the man's personality underwent a 180-degree change, and he left scars of various sizes on her body.

Long-term oppression made her obedient to the man, not daring to have the slightest resistance.

"The two of you, it's your turn." Ma Chen and Zheng Ge gave up their spot to make it convenient for them to trade with the Mysterious Merchant.
