Chapter 116: Fortune from Heaven (2/10, Autumn Subscription)

1221!

876!

Two massive damage numbers instantly popped up above Mu Zi's head!

Accompanied by two daggers crossing and slashing.

Crack!

2211!

The portion of Mu Zi's head above her eyes was cleanly severed, red, white, and black fluids spilling across the ground; she writhed twice, then fell still.

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, you participated in the slaying of the Weird 【Chu Sheng Gui】. Reward: Control +0.2, Deflection +0.2, Lifespan +1 hour.

So… she's dead?

Fang Yue realized that Mu Zi's rewards were mediocre, and her strength was underwhelming.

The only thing worth noting was probably her transformation from human to Weird.

But it paled in comparison to naturally occurring Weirds.

Increased success rate, weakened power—is this the method 【Shi Zhi Gui】 developed for turning humans into Weirds?

Regardless, gaining attributes is a good thing.

Watching Hua Wuye kneel on the ground, wailing and crying out to her ancestors, her parents, vowing vengeance, Fang Yue had no interest in listening.

Looking around, the players who had been lying on the ground suddenly jolted upright.

"Fuck! System notified me I assisted in the kill—my Control attribute is slightly increased!"

"Me too, me too! But my stats still show 1 point—no change at all!"

"I got it! I gained 0.1 Deflection!"

"Damn it! We all contributed—why do some get attribute boosts and others only get a system message?"

"Hmph! Did any of you deal more damage than me? I just targeted the elite Weird's weak point!"

Watching the players' competition, Fang Yue couldn't help smirking inwardly.

A bunch of noobs—getting excited over 0.1 attribute points? I routinely gain 0.3 just from practicing Heart Methods, and 5 to 8 points when solo-killing Weirds.

Without dampening the players' confidence, Fang Yue saw Mu Zi's corpse dissolving into ash and quickly moved to collect it.

【1g Black Ember】.

Fine, 1g is 1g.

As Fang Yue was thinking, text suddenly appeared in his mind.

【Debt must be repaid—this is natural law!】

I fucking…

I just got the Black Ember, and you're already starting?

Ignoring the parchment, Fang Yue noticed Lin Ling lifting the unconscious Hua Wuye onto his back—he froze, then stepped closer.

"What happened to her?"

"Overwhelming emotion, combined with her injuries—she passed out."

After a pause, Lin Ling lowered his voice: "Thanks this time."

Fang Yue chuckled: "Lin Ge, don't mention it—we help each other. If you really feel indebted, tell me one thing."

"Go ahead."

"Mu Zi said earlier she pushed me off the cliff to hand me over to 【Shi Zhi Gui】—what's the story behind that?"

"I don't know. But some villagers said that before the mass influx of refugees appeared outside the village, they'd seen many lone refugee bodies wandering aimlessly, ignoring everyone. But a mass gathering like the one at the village entrance four days ago? Never seen before."

Even now, there are still many lone refugee bodies moving independently, not joining the crowd at the village entrance."

Fang Yue's mind stirred.

There's that too?

So some refugee bodies' final destination isn't the village entrance—they just wander around.

Some players… might possess those lone wandering bodies.

But that's way too dangerous—without village support, possessing a lone body would mean an extremely high death rate.

Also, Fang Yue noticed the villagers inside the village were mostly healthy. But yesterday at the entrance, some refugees had missing limbs or disabilities—what happened to them now? Are they all waiting to die outside?

When Fang Yue asked, Lin Ling looked at him with a strange expression.

"Not quite. We found that although a large group of refugees gathered at the entrance last night, only a limited number actually awakened—and coincidentally, all the refugee bodies with physical defects failed to awaken. Also, several bodies accidentally damaged by Guard Team members showed no signs of awakening either."

"You, as a refugee, should understand this better than us. We suspect awakening requires some condition, but we don't know what it is."

There's that too?

So a defective body equals trash—no Advent for players?

Even if not during migration, but after arrival, if a body is damaged and deemed defective by the Guard Team, it's still classified as defective and denied for player Advent?

Fang Yue could only make this guess.

Finally, Fang Yue asked Lin Ling why the Weirds outside the village were so interested in him. But Lin Ling was equally baffled.

The only one who might truly know the reason… is Lord Han.

Perhaps because Fang Yue helped greatly—uncovering the traitor and resolving Hua Wuye's vengeance.

At this moment, Lin Ling seemed unusually tolerant toward Fang Yue.

He patiently waited until Fang Yue had no more questions, then left with Hua Wuye.

Fang Yue didn't stop him, only took out his latest Human Skin Mask and pondered his own thoughts.

At that moment, the first group of players who knew Fang Yue gathered around him.

"Ye Ge! Ye Ge is awesome!"

"Ye Ge, I want to learn Blade Technique from you, can I?"

"Ye Ge, bring me into the Guard Team, I don't want to work hard anymore!"

Someone took the lead, and the others crowded over one after another.

In no time, Fang Yue was surrounded so tightly not even a drop of water could leak through.

Although being adored and worshipped by his fans felt pretty good, Fang Yue had not yet reached the point where he could abuse his position to solve jobs for everyone. He could only casually pick out a few good-looking, high-appearance player avatars, have the Guard Team people help find them work, and then hastily fled the scene.

And among this batch of players who were named, Tail was impressively included!

"Ye Ge said to have the Guard Team people help me find work! Ye Ge said to have the Guard Team people help me find work!"

Tail could hardly believe her own good luck. She had just been pushed forward by the crowd and had never expected such a good thing to happen.

As a result, a great pie fell from the sky, and she directly landed herself a job.

"What? Feeding grass to horses! No problem! I'm willing to do it!!"

Although the job was a bit strange, Tail still took it on without any hesitation!

After all, behind her, groups of people were watching eagerly, wishing they could take her place!

There was no choice — the job competition in Gu Yue Cun was just too fierce!

……

Han Fu.

Fang Yue paced at the doorway, frowning in thought.

He was pondering a question — whether or not to go in, find Lord Han, and ask why the strange beings were so interested in him.

And also, on the night Di He shattered, the Edeless Strange had said the four words 【not yet mature】 — what on earth did that mean.
