Chapter 29 p2: Werewolves and the Village

Shi Jun looked at Jiang Yu. The emotion in her eyes seemed to already know what she was going to do, but Shi Jun did not say anything.

“If you want to know if it can cause death, it’s very simple.”

Jiang Yu looked over.

Shi Jun held the leaf in her hand, a smile on her face.

“We just have to try it.”

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what she meant.

She meant, to test it on the werewolves.

Jiang Yu slowly frowned.

The werewolf lying on the ground bared his teeth but could not resist.

“Since we’ve been defeated, you can do whatever you want with us!”

Jiang Yu lowered her eyelids.

“That won’t be necessary.”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you being soft-hearted again?”

“No.” Jiang Yu pursed her lips.

Li Nanmeng was a little confused. “No, what riddle are you guys playing at?”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment. For once, she did not know what to say.

Shi Jun chuckled softly and helped her out.

“The werewolves, the village chief, are all Aunt Ge’s enemies. Now that the werewolves have been eliminated, are we going to watch the village chief and the others get away with it and be smug?”

Li Nanmeng’s eyes widened. “So we’re going to help Aunt Ge?”

She was a little excited. After all, Li Nanmeng also felt that Aunt Ge was too pitiful.

Shi Jun: “Help, and not help.”

Li Nanmeng: “What does that mean?”

Jiang Yu took over the conversation. “It’s better to let Aunt Ge do this herself. The village chief and the others have all drunk the water from the divine pool. After drinking the water from the divine pool, their physical fitness will improve, but at the same time, there is a drawback. I’m not talking about the side effects, but—”

She pointed to the tree next to the divine pool.

“Anyone who has drunk the water from the divine pool, if they eat the leaves of the tree, they will…”

She knew that there would be an adverse reaction, but she did not know how serious it would be. So, she looked up at Zhong Yu.

Shi Jun did not make her feel awkward. “There will be a very serious rejection reaction. At best, it will be painful. At worst…”

Her voice was faint and gentle.

The werewolf on the ground said in a hoarse voice, “At worst, it will destroy the internal organs. But it will not cause death.”

But it was precisely because it would not cause death that one could feel such pain very clearly.

Li Nanmeng understood. “So we can punish the village chief and the others, right!”

Jiang Yu nodded.

Li Nanmeng also understood what she had been asking just now and could not help but feel a little disappointed. “What a pity. If we can’t make them pay with their lives, then we’ve let them off the hook.”

Jiang Yu’s lips parted slightly. “Not necessarily.”

“Hmm?”

“As long as they don’t know the source, as long as Aunt Ge hides well enough, then they will always be troubled by the pain hidden in the dark. Sometimes, living to atone for one’s sins is not necessarily… better than dying.”

At this, she looked at the werewolf lying on the ground.

Li Nanmeng was a little excited. “That’s great! That despicable and greedy village chief should get a taste of his own medicine! And Aunt Ge can take revenge herself!”

Jiang Yu was noncommittal.

A werewolf looked up at the blue sky and slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

“How… did we end up like this?”

Lang Qing closed his eyes in pain.

It was all because of him. If he hadn’t taken in that human child, it would have been fine.

If… he had agreed to let his companions drink more of the divine water early on, it would have been fine.

Even if he had become a monster, it would have been better than… losing his life.

Endless regret consumed him. Even in the face of death, he could not catch his breath.

In the end, Wu Xing did not choose to cut off the werewolves’ heads. Instead, after ending their lives, he painstakingly carried their bodies down and brought them to the village chief.

Before Jiang Yu left, she looked at the divine tree, but in the end, she still chose not to touch it. Because she did not know if the divine tree could survive if it was transplanted.

After the village chief received the news, he came over specially, his steps so fast that he did not even try to hide it.

When he actually saw the werewolves’ bodies, he smiled with satisfaction, the wrinkles on his face piling up.

“Very good, very good, not bad. Thank you for your hard work.”

Although they had completed the mission, the newcomers were not very happy.

Zhao Yuan and Wu Xing were as usual. After all, they had been through more instances than the newcomers and were not so sentimental anymore.

Wu Xing asked for confirmation, “We’ve completed your mission, right?”

The village chief nodded. “Yes, yes.”

And at this time, everyone’s phone vibrated.

Jiang Yu opened her phone and saw that the original mission interface had turned golden.

She clicked on it and saw that the mission was completed, and the teleportation time was ten minutes.

Ten minutes. There was still time.

So, Jiang Yu put away her phone and went to find Aunt Ge.

There were footsteps behind her. She looked back and saw that Li Nanmeng and Lin Hui had followed her.

Li Nanmeng said, “You’re going to find Aunt Ge, right? We’ll go with you!”

Jiang Yu’s lips curved. “Okay.”

She looked behind her. “Isn’t Zhong Yu coming?”

Li Nanmeng was a little confused. “Yeah, she’s probably not feeling well. I saw that her face was pale again.”

Jiang Yu did not ask any more questions.

After arriving at Aunt Ge’s house, when Aunt Ge saw the outsiders, she subconsciously wanted to pretend to be crazy. Jiang Yu said, “You don’t have to pretend. I have something to tell you.”

Aunt Ge looked at her warily, then asked, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Jiang Yu said directly, “The werewolves are dead.”

Aunt Ge’s eyes widened in astonishment. She was in disbelief.

“What… did you say?!”

“The werewolves… are dead?”

How could they be dead? Was it really… that easy?

She thought of her murdered son, of the other villagers who had died at the hands of the werewolves, and still could not believe it.

Was this real? Was it really that simple?

Li Nanmeng: “It’s true. The bodies have been taken to the village chief.”

At the mention of the village chief, Aunt Ge suddenly came to her senses.

Aunt Ge knew that although the werewolves and the village chief had a cooperative relationship, there were also constraints. The village chief had always wanted to get rid of the werewolves so that they could occupy the divine pool.

Aunt Ge hated the werewolves, but she also hated the village chief.

If it weren’t for the village chief, her son would not have had to die.

Now that the werewolves were dead, she was naturally happy, but this also meant that the village chief no longer had any scruples and was no longer constrained. Wouldn’t that be just what he wanted?

Aunt Ge gritted her teeth.

Jiang Yu stepped forward. “You want to avenge your son, don’t you?”

Aunt Ge did not hide it. “Of course!”

Jiang Yu said, “I have a way.”

Aunt Ge looked at her suspiciously.

Jiang Yu placed the leaf on the table.

“There is a tree growing next to the divine pool. Anyone who has drunk the water from the divine pool, if they accidentally eat the leaves of the divine tree, at best, they will have a stomachache. At worst, their internal organs will be corroded. As for whether they will die after eating the leaves, that has not been tested.”

“If you really want to take revenge, you can try this method.”

Aunt Ge looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously, clearly not believing her.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Li Nanmeng was a little anxious. “Aunt Ge, what are you still hesitating for? Do you suspect that we’re lying to you?”

Aunt Ge snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.

Lin Hui said coldly, “Whether we’re lying to you or not, why don’t you try it yourself? Anyway, it’s just secretly putting a leaf in his food, or grinding the leaf into a powder… it’s not hard to trick him into eating it, is it?”

“Even if we’re lying to you, if you hide it well, it won’t have any effect on you. It can’t be worse than it is now. If we’re not lying to you, then you can try it. It’s not a loss.”

Aunt Ge was suddenly enlightened. She was a little hesitant and tempted.

In the end, she reached out and took the leaf, holding it tightly in her hand.

“Thank you, thank you.”

Jiang Yu lowered her gaze. “You’re welcome.”

She was not a purely good person either.

“The divine tree is right next to the divine pool. I advise you not to feed the leaf directly to the village chief, in case he becomes suspicious. Of course, the divine tree has been growing there for a long time. Sooner or later, its function will be discovered, so you’d better make a long-term plan.”

“We didn’t touch that tree because we were afraid that it wouldn’t survive without the divine pool. So, it’s up to you how you want to operate.”

After a moment of silence, Aunt Ge nodded.

“Okay. Thank you.”

After leaving Aunt Ge’s house, Li Nanmeng seemed to have lifted a heavy burden from her heart. She even started humming a song.

Jiang Yu chuckled softly. “You’re in a pretty good mood.”

Li Nanmeng nodded. “Of course. After all, we successfully cleared the instance.”

Jiang Yu also nodded in agreement.

Yeah, there was nothing better than this.

Although she did not know when it would end, although she did not know when her wish would be fulfilled, in any case, clearing the current instance was something to be happy about.

They returned to the house they had been assigned and were ready to go back.

And Zhao Yuan said to Zhong Yu, “Zhong Yu, if you don’t mind, can we add each other as friends?”

She was paving the way to recruit Zhong Yu into the organization.

To be honest, she also recognized that Zhong Yu was a rare talent. It would be even better if she could be recruited.

Although Zhong Yu’s final emotional display made her feel that something was not right, but… these were not very important.

After all, this was not a world of truth, goodness, and beauty, but a world of strength.

Shi Jun thought for a moment. “Okay.”

She did not refuse.

Then, she looked at Jiang Yu. “Let’s add each other as friends too.”

Jiang Yu nodded and added the other party as a friend.

After adding a friend, you could view their information.

So, Jiang Yu casually clicked on Zhong Yu’s personal information.

—However, it was hidden by her.

But she could see that she had already joined an organization.

If she had joined, it would be hidden along with other information. If not, it would show [Not Joined].

Zhao Yuan was not surprised by this. Generally speaking, most newcomers would choose an organization to rely on.

Although poaching, ahem, was a bit bad, it was not impossible.

The countdown quickly ended, and they were teleported out of the instance.

…..

This time, they were not on the beach. Instead, they were back where they had first entered the instance.

That is, the living room of the Lemon Tea organization.

Jiang Yu came back to her senses from the dizziness. Seeing the modern room, she did not react for a moment.

It was Li Nanmeng’s voice that brought her back to her senses.

“Wuwuwu, we’re finally back!”

Wu Xing said, “You can go back to your rooms and rest. By the way, you’ll get a message on your phones. Remember to check it.”

The three of them nodded and returned to their rooms.

Li Nanmeng still wanted to say something. Jiang Yu glanced at the time. “I want to go back to my room and rest first.”

Indeed, returning to the Transit Island from the instance would consume a lot of energy. Even if they were not injured, they were still mentally exhausted.

Jiang Yu: “I’ll come out at dinner time.”

Li Nanmeng did not insist. Instead, she immediately nodded. “Okay!”

After returning to her room, Jiang Yu rested for ten minutes before opening her phone.

The mission icon floating at the top was still golden. Jiang Yu clicked on it.

【Congratulations on completing the mission and clearing the instance [Werewolves and the Village].】

【Jiang Yu (D-50%) received a rating of A in this instance, ranked third, and was rewarded with 150 points.】

【Because the instance level (C-0%) is one level higher than the character’s level, the reward points are multiplied by 1.25.】

【Final judgment: Jiang Yu’s level is D-50% → C-0%】

Jiang Yu lowered her gaze slightly.

She was a little surprised. She… was ranked third in the instance?

How was this judged?

The first and second places above her should be Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan… right?

What about Zhong Yu?

Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Yu’s mind.

The reward points given by this instance were not many. Some of the more expensive items could not be purchased at all, but…

Considering the difficulty of the instance and the work she had done, she felt that the points were okay.

And it was also multiplied by 1.25, which was an extra reward.

In addition, her level had suddenly become C, which was also a bit out of Jiang Yu’s expectation.

Come to think of it, it should be because of the convenience brought by the instance level being higher than the character’s level. In that case, it was understandable why some people wanted to skip levels and enter the instance.

Jiang Yu glanced at Zhong Yu in her friends list. After a moment’s hesitation, she sent her a message, asking for her ranking.

Although this was a bit inappropriate, and Zhong Yu might not answer, Jiang Yu still had doubts in her heart.

She did not believe that Zhong Yu’s ranking would be lower than hers, but… she did not believe that Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan’s levels would be ranked behind.

Of course, Jiang Yu did not choose to ask Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan because of this concern.

What if their levels were low, then…

Jiang Yu had not forgotten that knowledge point.

If a high-level person entered a low-level instance, they might even lose points if they were not careful.

Jiang Yu was a little afraid that because of them, Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan would lose points.

Zhong Yu had not replied to the message yet, but Jiang Yu was not in a hurry.

She went to the store again and found that new things had been unlocked.

One was the poison-detecting needle that Zhao Yuan had mentioned before, and the other was more types and levels of weapons.

If the previous weapon level was D, then now C-level was open for her to purchase. At the same time, she could also upgrade her original weapons.

Jiang Yu was not in a hurry to do these things, nor was she in a hurry to strengthen her body. She did not have many points, so it was better to use them after careful consideration.

The next instance… she still did not know what the situation would be.

…..

After Shi Jun returned from the instance world, she automatically separated from her smurf account and returned to her own body.

She soaked in the nutrient fluid and only opened her eyes after a long while.

Xu Chu (the woman with glasses) next to her had been closely observing her data. Seeing that Shi Jun had woken up safely, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked to the nutrient pod.

“How do you feel?”

Shi Jun blinked, then sat up from within the nutrient pod.

Her face was still a little pale, and her movements were a little difficult.

Seeing this, Xu Chu helped her.

Shi Jun: “It’s okay. It’s not as bad as when I came out of the first instance.”

After she came out of the first instance, she had been in a coma for several days before she woke up again. Her condition was much worse than now.

Fortunately, after her soul was transferred, the cooldown time for Zhong Yu’s body to enter the instance was also reset. Otherwise, she might have sent a soulless body to the instance.

Xu Chu carefully looked at the data, then was relieved.

“But you… were you injured in the instance again?”

Shi Jun thought for a moment. “Ah, if a hand injury counts as an injury. And I’m a little tired.”

She had used the gun, so her palm was injured by the recoil.

Xu Chu was a little helpless. “Can’t you be more careful!”

Shi Jun smiled, unconcerned.

“Speaking of which, in this instance, I met that newcomer.”

Xu Chu asked, “How is she?”

Shi Jun thought for a moment, then her eyes curved. “I’m not telling you.”

Shi Jun: I’m safe, gentle, and harmless.
