Chapter 319 Demonic Energy Corrosion
With Qingfeng busy, Meng Qingyin's hallucinations temporarily disappeared, and she returned to normal.
She carefully put away the two [Flintstones] she had obtained that day and prepared to rest early.
She didn't know if it was because of the fever or the invasion of demonic energy, but she felt soreness all over her body.
Fortunately, apart from hallucinations, the baby was otherwise normal.
As for the heavy snow, it was completely unaffected by the demonic energy.
Meng Qingyin told them what was going on and went to bed early.
She slept fitfully that night, always half-asleep, her dreams filled with bizarre and fantastical images.
When Meng Qingyin woke up the next day, she felt very heavy-headed. When she stood up from the bed, she felt dizzy and fell straight down.
If her son hadn't caught her quickly, she would have fallen hard to the ground.
She helped the baby sit back on the bed, feeling a splitting headache.
Has the side effects of demonic energy erosion worsened?
She opened the chat, wanting to ask Chen Leying and the others about their situation.
Unexpectedly, many players in the chat area also experienced varying degrees of physical discomfort.
A miserable middle school girl said: "I woke up this morning feeling like I had been beaten up, and my whole body ached."
Lin Wang, who likes fish lice: "I don't feel any pain, but I feel weak all over and just want to lie in bed without moving. I don't know what's wrong with me."
The world's best warm baby: "My legs are sore, it feels like I ran a marathon in my dream."
madT: "I've had a nosebleed since I woke up, and it's still going on. What's going on? Why does everyone seem to have suddenly become fragile?"
Ferryman cz926: "Huh? What's wrong with you all? I'm perfectly fine."
Luo's Story Collection: "I'm fine too."
"..."
Seeing this, Meng Qingyin guessed that those players who felt unwell must have been corrupted by demonic energy.
Now, tower climbing has become the only way for players to make money. Killing monsters will drop gold coins, and the drop rate of resources has been increased. Players can get six or seven spider silks after a round of tower climbing if they are lucky.
Everyone knows that spider silk can be used to extract demonic energy or to make spider silk cloaks, but no one knows exactly how to do it.
Therefore, many players will sell the spider silk to pay off their debts, since they can always farm it again.
Moreover, players with experience in tower climbing usually have their own teams. They cooperate well and can earn a lot of money in a day.
As for those who are fine, it's probably because they didn't use it much, and the demonic energy in their bodies hasn't accumulated to a certain concentration yet, so they don't feel any discomfort for the time being.
At this moment, Lu Cheng and the others in the small group were also saying that they felt even more unwell today.
As expected, the side effects of demonic energy erosion have worsened.
I don't know how to solve this. The only person who knows the solution is Qin Feng, but I can't contact her at all.
Meng Qingyin still remembered her date with Achen yesterday, and she struggled to get up and wash.
...
When Zhao Lan woke up, she felt numbness on one side of her body. She could move normally without any problems, but it would affect her somewhat. It would probably be very difficult for her to climb the tower.
Just then, the four people who had agreed to go with her to clear the tower yesterday came over and told her that they were not feeling well and might not be able to go.
Zhao Lan felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
Zhang Yan came to stay with them last night, but they ran into trouble the next day.
Did Zhang Yan do something?
Everyone looked at Zhang Yan, their eyes filled with suspicion.
The timing is just too coincidental.
"No, why are you all looking at me like that?" Zhang Yan said speechlessly. "The physical discomfort you are experiencing is caused by demonic energy erosion, it has nothing to do with me."
"Demonic energy corruption?" Zhao Lan asked. "How do you know so much?"
Zhang Yan: "I heard it from Mengmeng. She said yesterday that demonic energy can corrode the human body. I thought only those who farmed the tower a lot would experience this, but I didn't expect that you guys were also corroded by demonic energy."
Zhao Lan frowned. "Is there any way to restore it?"
The team's daily expenses are very high, so they have to farm towers frequently.
Every day you leave the store empty means losing a day's worth of earnings.
Zhang Yan shook his head: "No. It's best not to continue farming the tower for a while."
Zhao Lan was disappointed, but then she thought of something else: "The other players must have also been corrupted by the demonic energy. I have to tell them this."
Zhang Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. "Whatever."
Zhao Lan quickly posted the news about the demonic energy corruption in the chat area and suggested that everyone stop farming the tower for the time being.
Some people scoffed at her suggestion, believing she was creating panic, while others thought she was saying it on purpose to stop players from farming the tower so she could reap the benefits.
Of course, more people are willing to believe her, after all, it's always good to be cautious.
Looking at the various messages in the chat area, Zhang Yan suddenly asked her, "So many people misunderstand you, aren't you angry?"
Zhao Lan shared the news with everyone out of good intentions, but there are always some players who don't appreciate it. Instead of being grateful, they hurl all sorts of insults at him, which raises his blood pressure.
Did Zhao Lan feel no ripples at all?
Zhao Lan remained calm. "I don't care what those people say. As long as someone is willing to believe me and stop spamming the tower, even if it's just one person, that's good."
Zhang Yan stared at her for a few seconds, feeling that he understood Zhao Lan less and less.
Is this person a bodhisattva who has no emotions or desires?
She doesn't seem to care at all when others insult her?
If it were him, and someone dared to insult him, he would have already fired back with all his might.
Zhang Yan couldn't understand Zhao Lan's thoughts, but he respected them, saying, "Whatever makes you happy."
Since they weren't going to raid the tower today, Zhao Lan and the others had no choice but to focus their energy on finding supply boxes.
...
After washing up, Meng Qingyin sent a message to Achen, asking when she would be coming so she could make preparations.
Traveling merchant Achen: "I'll be there in a bit, Sister Meng, don't bother, let's just have some strawberry cake together. Also, I have a surprise for you!"
Mengmeng: "I promised to treat you to a good meal, so I'll prepare some fruit. What kind of fruit do you like?"
Traveling merchant Achen: "Great! I love strawberries the most."
Meng Qingyin found the fruits she had stockpiled: pomegranates, grapes, mangoes, watermelons, peaches... but no strawberries.
But it doesn't matter, maybe Chen Leying and the others will have some?
Meng Qingyin sent a message in the group: "Does anyone have strawberries? I need to use them to entertain a little guest."
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "I have some strawberries here, wait a minute, I'll trade them to you."
Mengmeng: "Thanks."
Soon, Lu Cheng traded the strawberries over.
Meng Qingyin quickly washed all the fruit, plated it, and arranged it neatly.
A little while later, Ah Chen arrived.
She was accompanied by another person.
