When Bai Yu woke up from a nap, he saw that Yun Jian looked pale and sickly.
"What's wrong? You look so pale. Is something wrong with that person?"
Yun Jian shook his head, staring blankly at his task panel.
Bai Yu glanced at Yun Jian strangely, yawned, walked behind Yun Jian to see what she was looking at, and immediately froze on the spot.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst out cursing, "Is this game sick or what? You're asking me to collect charred corpses? Are you trying to make humans and charred corpses coexist peacefully? The key is that we have absolutely no means of dealing with charred corpses right now, so how are we supposed to collect them? Even if you manage to do it, the other players in the game won't allow it!"
Since the appearance of the charred corpse, how many players have been harmed by it?
Human players and charred corpses have long been irreconcilable enemies!
[Holy crap, didn't Bete say the game was out of their control? Why are they still releasing new missions? Are they lying, or has some mysterious force taken over the game?]
[Yun Jian is really pitiful. Even a randomly triggered quest can turn out to be this difficult. It truly lives up to the name of that item, "Your life is really long."]
[By the way, has anyone seen what that prop actually does?]
No, I'm curious too!
[Let's have a moment of silence for Yun Jian. This mission was way too difficult. The players' side had been constantly being chased and attacked by the charred corpses. They had no other way to deal with the charred corpses except with electricity, let alone control them. How was that even possible?]
【Why not? Didn't the people from Tengyun Pavilion develop a scorch-controlling agent before? Couldn't that control charred corpses?】
Holy crap, so this quest actually has a solution.
Bai Yu couldn't help but curse, "This mission is outrageous! Isn't it just sending you to your death? Could it be that the system can't solve this problem itself, so it's just dumping the burden on the players?"
Yun Jian sighed and closed the task panel.
He got up to check on the injured person.
She called out to the little bug in her mind, and soon received a response from the little bug: "Master, wait a moment, I'll be out soon!"
Yun Jian sat back down in her chair, her finger constantly tapping the table, revealing her inner turmoil.
Bai Yu pondered for a while, then suddenly jumped up. "I remember now! Doesn't Tengyun Pavilion have a scorching potion? Shall we try that and see if it works?"
Yun Jian pondered for a while, then called over Lao Si, "You anonymously post an acquisition notice on the platform, and you can buy back Ke Jiao medicine for 60 points."
The fourth brother frowned, "Boss, why did you buy that? A lot of people in the chat are regretting buying it now. Whoever bought it will regret it."
Yun Jian didn't want to explain, so he simply brought up his task panel.
The fourth brother's expression changed, and in the end he only left one sentence: "I'll take care of it right away."
Yun Jian thought for a moment and then instructed, "Don't buy too many, just one or two bottles will do."
She was afraid the medicine wouldn't work and that buying too much would be a waste of points.
Bai Yu, however, seemed much happier. He leaned closer to the wounded, turning his head to look at them from this side and that side.
"The upgraded bug is really powerful. It was able to suppress the half-charred person. The person's condition is obviously much better than before. Maybe he can really be saved."
As they were talking, a small insect fell out with a "plop".
Yunjian quickly went over and picked it up.
The little bug's belly was stretched so wide it was shiny, and its two little black eyes stared intently at Yun Jian, and then... it burped.
Bai Yu fanned the air with his hand, "This smell is really strong."
After waiting for a while, the little bug finally spat out a shiny black ball.
Bai Yu instinctively jumped a few steps away and quickly took out the energy storage ball.
Yun Jian frowned and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly spoke up to stop him: "This is not a ball made of those thin threads, but something else."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu still didn't put away the energy storage ball, but cautiously approached, "If it's not a thin thread, then what is it?"
Yun Jian shook his head. "I can't tell."
When such unidentified substances appear at campsites, they are usually sent to Le Wenfeng for identification.
Fearing that the item might be harmful, Yun put on gloves and carefully packed it away. After explaining its origin to Le Wenfeng, she gave it to him.
And the fourth brother's tar-removing agent was also purchased.
As he handed the items to Yun Jian, he complained, "I listened to the boss and only bought one bottle. Don't be fooled by all those players complaining that this stuff is useless. When I went to buy it, very few people were willing to buy it. They said it's something that can save your life in a critical moment, more important than points."
Yun Jian nodded, indicating that he understood.
Bai Yu saw her leave and immediately followed, "You're going to find the charred corpse to test your mission, right? I'll go with you."
Yun didn't stop him, and kept holding the small pebble in his hand.
Bai Yu couldn't help but curse the system, "What kind of lousy task did you assign? You didn't do anything! All you did was save someone! And yet you want to be the leader of the charred corpses? The system is really inhuman! It messed things up and now it's trying to drive players to their doom! I really believed it back then, thinking that entering this game would grant any wish, but instead I've encountered a whole bunch of charred corpses..."
He kept talking, but didn't hear Yun Jian's response.
Bai Yu turned his head in fright, and seeing that Yun Jian was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you thinking about? You didn't even reply. I thought you had been captured by the charred corpse!"
Yun Jian looked up at him and said, "I think that my triggering of this mission might be related to the little bug."
Yun Jian carefully reviewed her actions and determined that the only behavior that could trigger the mission was her order for the little insect to clean the fine threads inside the members' bodies.
Bai Yu stopped in his tracks. "So... the key to completing the mission is related to the little bug? Could it be that black ball?"
Yun Jian shook his head, "I don't know, we'll have to wait for Dr. Le's results."
As they spoke, a faint, acrid smell of burning wafted towards them, and the two immediately became alert, standing back to back, wary of their surroundings.
A gust of scorching wind suddenly swept towards Yun Jian's face. Yun Jian took out the prepared energy storage ball and was about to stab it at the charred corpse when she discovered that the charging corpse stopped abruptly in front of her, spun around, and narrowly avoided the energy storage ball's attack range.
Yun Jian frowned slightly. Had it really evolved to this extent?
Not only can they use tools, but they can also evade player attacks. If they continue to develop, what will be the difference between them and humans?
Oh no, they have wings, sharp claws, and are more powerful than humans!
While Yun Jian was still in shock, a large horizontal slit appeared on the charred, black face of the corpse, as if it were mocking her!
She could almost feel the meaning behind that face: "You think I'd run into it? You idiot!"
Yun Jian remained in that bewildered state, staring blankly at it, but quickly took out the bottle of charred medicine and splashed it on the charred corpse in front of him!
Then he smiled and said, "I call this a feint."
