Chapter 58: Business Comes to the Door

Fang Yue felt a surge of excitement; though without basis, when he grasped that severed hand, his body truly felt a phantom sense of flesh and bone being reunited.

Comparing skin tone, color difference, and even details like nail length, combined with memory…

"It can't be wrong! Found it! Finally found it!"

He placed his right hand onto the stump's gap.

The previously healed wound instantly sprouted tiny flesh shoots, intertwining with the severed limb—blood and flesh fused, nerves connected, tendons rejoined, bones realigned!

A tingling numbness crept up his heart, accompanied by soft, contented hums, when Fang Yue suddenly shuddered…

"I'm healed!"

"System prompt: 【Can Yu 1】【Right Hand】 status removed."

Done!

With two statuses removed, aside from 【Gui Zu】 still lingering, Fang Yue was fully restored to health.

I thought Can Yu was something serious—turns out it's nothing!

With Ye Zhi Hu Xi, why would I need any Divine Doctor? I am the Divine Doctor!

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a flicker of pride.

Yet he didn't notice that the two beside him had their eyes wide open.

"N-N-N-N-N-Nye Ge! You're… healed?"

"Reattached a severed hand? How did you do that?!"

They were stunned; even Niu Niu imitated Fang Yue and pressed his severed hand against the stump—but aside from staining the rotting flesh caused by 【Gui Zu】, there was absolutely no sign of limb reattachment.

Comparing yourself to others just makes you furious.

Niu Niu instantly turned sour, his eyes filled with lemon juice.

Seeing this, Fang Yue spoke with solemn gravity: "Niu Niu, people and people…"

"Stop lecturing!"

Niu Niu's face darkened—he'd heard this a hundred times already.

Damn it!

Why is it always me who gets injured?

Can't you lend me some of your physique? I want a body this awesome too!

Fang Yue smiled, utterly delighted.

"Since Ye Ge is healed, I'll go take on a mission to treat the villagers."

Xiao Hu, after her initial shock, quickly returned to normal.

"Take a mission? Treat villagers?"

Fang Yue looked puzzled, asked a few questions, and learned that after the previous battle, Gu Yue Cun had an overwhelming number of wounded, and many areas desperately needed hands.

Then the Guard Team issued various missions—anyone could accept them; completing a mission would be recorded and rewarded with Yang Shou, items, or even crude Martial Arts.

The rewards were incredibly rich, making Fang Yue feel tempted—no wonder Xiao Hu had been itching to rush off the moment she saw Fang Yue was fine.

"What about Niu Niu?"

Xiao Hu was Hong Dafu's medicine apprentice; though he'd only studied for a day, he knew a bit of medicine and could lend a hand, completing certain unique missions.

But Niu Niu was different—he had nothing but brute strength, especially since his heart and right hand had been severed by 【Gui Zu】.

Help others? He's the one who needs help the most.

But Fang Yue hadn't expected that Niu Niu had also landed village missions—mostly running errands and delivering messages.

Rewards were mostly favor points, occasionally cash, and sometimes even Yang Shou.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that after the disaster, players in Gu Yue Cun had it easier than ever.

Just yesterday, aside from the Guard Team's daily tasks, it was nearly impossible for anyone else to get a mission—either favor was too low or there simply weren't any tasks available.

Fang Yue looked around and saw that Jing Yan and the rest of the high-tier group had already moved out, scattering to collect various missions.

"Ye Ge, don't stare—they're the ones who noticed the sudden surge in village missions and told us about it."

As he spoke, Xiao Hu was already sprinting toward the wounded villagers.

"Alright, Ye Ge, I'm off to take my mission—we'll talk later."

Niu Niu followed behind Xiao Hu, saying: "Ye Ge, when the Divine Doctor arrives, send me a message—I'll come join you then."

Fang Yue's eyes darted.

They're all taking small village missions, but I can interact with Lord Han.

Taking on big jobs from Lord Han is far better than those petty village rewards.

Immediately, he headed toward Lord Han—but hadn't taken two steps when someone sent him a message.

He opened it—it was from Jing Yan.

"Ye Ge, I recorded some footage of your battle with the weirdness at Di He tonight. I want to post it online—can I? Price is negotiable."

Recorded?

Fang Yue was startled.

Why didn't I think of this business opportunity?

Outside, forums barely have any videos of battles with weirdness—most end with a death POV.

Mine—fist-to-flesh, actually beating the weirdness—posted online? That'd hit a million views in minutes, wealth pouring in.

Missed it!

Huge loss!

Next time I encounter weirdness, don't panic—first turn on recording, then do a full 360-degree atmospheric buildup.

Then add a fierce battle scene, and finally a cool, victorious KO—perfectly crafting the image of a master.

In the future, when others look for professional high-level players, they'll think of me.

Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly right!

The more Fang Yue thought about it, the more excited he became—he felt his path to making money had fully opened up.

The only problem was that the anomalies were too powerful; one slip and you'd be killed—but he had Night's Breath!

Others encountering anomaly videos couldn't even turn them on before they were killed; they had no chance to focus on recording during combat.

But he could! He had high HP recovery—no, wait, he recovered health fast! He was best at prolonged fights!

"Ye Ge, I'll pay top price—no cheating you. Give me a straight answer. If you refuse, I won't upload the video privately or violate your privacy."

Jing Yan seemed to believe Fang Yue was one of those elite players who stood alone at the top, did good deeds without seeking fame, lived a low-profile life as a lone hero, and remained anonymous even when famous.

But he was wrong.

"Price!"

Pretending to be cold and aloof, Fang Yue replied with two words, exuding supreme detachment!

Jing Yan's eyes lit up—he hurried to quote a price. He wasn't afraid Fang Yue would haggle; he was afraid Fang Yue wouldn't let him post the video.

Often, in the early stages of a game, reputation matters far more than temporary gains.

Fang Yue's combat video could very well be the key to establishing his fame and laying the foundation for his legacy in the groundbreaking game "Blue Sea."

"Flat rate: 100,000. Plus, any future revenue from views and clicks—we split it fifty-fifty."

One hundred thousand?!

Fang Yue's heart jolted—he nearly broke his high-level player facade.

Fortunately, he'd just received over 70,000 from Niu Niu, raising his standards—he wasn't thrown off balance.

After a brief pause, he asked: "Will you show my face?"

Will you show my face?

Asking that? I'm a professional!

Jing Yan immediately replied: "Ye Ge, rest assured—full pixelation! Not a single trace of your privacy will be revealed; no one will recognize you in-game!"

Jing Yan thought his reply was perfect—but Fang Yue instantly shot back a message.

"That won't do!"
