Fang Yue used to think the [Vomit Finger Ghoul] rewards were too little, but now he takes back those words.

"Where is the last [Vomit Finger Ghoul] brother? Come into my bowl, 0.3 of dual attributes is still attributes! Just let me have it all! Please!"

Fang Yue hoped that the last [Vomit Finger Ghoul] was also in the village.

But after patrolling for another two laps and finding nothing, he finally gave up and returned to the guardhouse.

Inside the guardhouse, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was leisurely lying on the chair when suddenly, her eyelid twitched and she sat up straight.

"Left eye jumps for wealth, right eye jumps for disaster. I'm going to have a disaster!"

As Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was thinking, she saw Fang Yue walking into the room looking depressed.

"Ye, Brother Ye! You're back."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu shivered and quickly gave a flattering smile.

"Yeah."

Fang Yue nodded absentmindedly and was about to pass by, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He stopped and stared suspiciously at Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

"Why aren't you eating?"

"Ate, all eaten. The chef in the kitchen is making a new batch."

"Oh, okay, how much have your attributes increased?"

"A little over 1 point of dual attributes."

"Keep it up."

"Mmm mmm!"

Seeing that Fang Yue was so easy to deal with, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yue went to the back kitchen and saw that the chef was indeed preparing food, but he had already prepared half a table's worth, and no one had taken it out.

His face darkened, and Fang Yue strode back.

"Ye, Brother Ye, why are you back again?"

"What do you think? Go to the back, eat everything the chef makes, eat it on the spot!"

"Brother Ye! I can't eat anymore, I really can't, my stomach is about to burst!"

"Fine, then I won't bother with you, you're on your own."

"No, don't... I'll eat, okay..."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu pitifully went to the back of the kitchen and, under Fang Yue's supervision, reluctantly and slowly ate the dishes.

"Eat faster!"

"I'm eating, I'm eating!"

After being urged by Fang Yue, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu sped up her eating, and Fang Yue left, satisfied.

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu finally breathed a big sigh of relief.

But she opened her attributes to take a look.

"Only a little over 3 points of dual attributes. I heard Brother Niu Niu say that he has 8 points of attributes! How long will I have to eat to catch up to Brother Niu Niu's attributes, not to mention Brother Ye's attributes..."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu felt that the road ahead was long and there was a long way to go.

But she never thought that she was a second-batch player, while Fang Yue and Niu Niu were first-batch players, and among the second-batch players in Gu Yue Village, no one's attributes had increased so quickly, directly increasing to more than 3 points.

In a sense, she, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, was the strongest one among the second-batch players in Gu Yue Village.

It's just that this so-called strongest was an attribute gained from eating, not from hard cultivation, so if she were really asked to fight against ghouls, she would probably have to solve her psychological problems first.

In addition, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu also benefited from Fang Yue's assistance; otherwise, even if a normal player had talent, they would not have so much money to eat and increase their attributes.

Two taels of silver a day, and how much to eat at night hasn't even been calculated yet. This expense is unbearable for ordinary people!

Even Fang Yue had already started thinking about how to adjust the cost of food.

"Perhaps, I'll have to make Wu Wu eat steamed buns all the time in the future."

Fang Yue had this idea, but he hadn't told Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu yet, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept it and would make a fuss, so he was dragging it out for the time being.

After confirming that Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was working hard to eat and increase her attributes, Fang Yue went out again, wanting to continue trying his luck.

If he still didn't encounter any ghouls this time, then he would practice the Xinghuo Blade Technique.

Thinking of the Xinghuo Blade Technique, Fang Yue had a headache, because using the Xinghuo Blade Technique consumed lifespan.

Practicing the blade consumes lifespan, fighting monsters consumes lifespan. With this consumption, no amount of lifespan would be enough.

Fortunately, the Xinghuo Heart Sutra was already at max level; otherwise, cultivating the Xinghuo Heart Sutra would have cost him lifespan too.

Looking at it this way, the Wumu Fruit that Hua Wu Ye gave him was simply too amazing! He must thank Hua Wu Ye properly later.

Fang Yue was thinking about these things as he went out, but he ran into Lin Ling, who had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Brother Lin, weren't you going to cultivate in seclusion?"

"...Enough nonsense! Just listen to what I say!"

Lin Ling was obviously in a bad mood, his temper more irritable than when Fang Yue had just killed someone.

Fang Yue immediately stopped talking. He didn't want to clash with Lin Ling, after all, he was the one who had benefited.

Not only did he take away the birthday gift that someone else's girlfriend had prepared, but he also directly increased his cultivation after eating it. At this rate, he would definitely become the inheritor of Lord Han. He had simply taken the yellow-haired script and cuckolded Lin Ling badly!

Lin Ling was already so miserable, how could Fang Yue stimulate him? If Lin Ling couldn't think straight, that would be a real problem.

Fortunately, Lin Ling wasn't as fragile as Fang Yue thought. He was simply in a bad mood and didn't want to see Fang Yue.

"The artisans in the village said that there wasn't enough stone material for the Earth Core, so they have to get it from the neighboring village. This wouldn't be a problem, but Doctor An also said that he doesn't have any big orders and doesn't want to stay here anymore, and wants to go back to Mo Village. So we have to escort Doctor An back to Mo Village and buy some stone material from Mo Village at the same time, doing both things together."

"Uh... then thank you for your hard work..."

Lin Ling frowned. "What are you talking about? I'm telling you this, of course, to have you escort Doctor An back to Mo Village."

"…Ah? Me?"

Fang Yue was a little confused. "Then what about you?"

"Guarding Gu Yue Village. Hua Wu Ye's injuries haven't healed yet. Although Mu Zi reattached the tendons and ligaments that were severed by Doctor An, he still needs to recuperate, which means that there are only you and me, two captain-level people, in the village.

In the past, it would naturally be me, the strongest in the village, who would be responsible for escorting Doctor An back, but now you are the strongest captain in the village, so naturally you have to step up and escort him."

Isn't it true that becoming stronger only leads to more trouble?

"Um, can I refuse?"

"Sure, I'll just take back your position as deputy captain now, and then you can get out of the village."

"...I, I was just joking."

"I'm not joking. Prepare yourself tomorrow, and we'll set off early the day after tomorrow."

"So soon?"

"Doctor An is in a hurry. He keeps saying how much money he's losing every second, which is giving me a headache. If you want to reason with him, go talk to him yourself."

Clearly, Lin Ling couldn't stand Doctor An either, but... going to Mo Village, wouldn't that be too dangerous?

"You're asking if it's dangerous? There's no safe place in the wild! You have to rely on yourself. Just don't let anything happen to Doctor An, or Lord Han will blame you, and I don't know what your fate will be."

"...Okay, it seems I can't refuse this mission. Is there any reward?"

"If you can safely escort Doctor An back to Mo Village, you'll naturally be rewarded handsomely."

Although Lin Ling was very unhappy with Fang Yue, he was fair. As long as Fang Yue asked a question, Lin Ling would answer it seriously if he knew the answer.

Leaving Gu Yue Village the day after tomorrow...

For some reason, Fang Yue had a sense of unease. There were obviously ghouls staring at him outside. Wouldn't it be too much of a death wish to leave the village now?
