Mu You was already ready to attack, but unexpectedly a voice suddenly told him to stop, and the reason given was too much for him to ignore.
Mu You had no choice but to choose 'Cancel attack'.
[You canceled the small fireball technique, teleported backwards, and distanced yourself from the two caterpillars. 】
[After retreating to a safe area, you turned your head and saw under a small tree not far away, a fairy girl with a height of only the size of your hand. She was hiding most of her body behind the tree, exposing her head and looking towards her cautiously. It seems to you. 】
[This goblin has blue hair, green eyes, a white hat on his head, a blue and white dress, and a pair of wide butterfly-like wings on his back. The wings are white in the center and corrugated on the edges. The sky is blue, and the whole goblin looks like a butterfly hovering in mid-air. 】
[Although it has an eye-catching color, you noticed that the face of the elf girl was stained with a lot of dust and stains, and the originally clean and beautiful wings were also covered with scars and gaps, which greatly damaged the beauty. 】
[At this time, the two caterpillars that were thrown away by you in the distance are already roaring and squirming toward you again. 】
["It's too late. If you don't mind, please use my pollen..." The fairy girl took a transparent bottle from her body and threw it towards you. 】
[You subconsciously catch the mini bottle and take a look. The bottle contains half a bottle of flower powder, but it emits a rather pungent smell, which seems to be some kind of ominous thing. 】
[The fairy girl signals you to sprinkle pollen on yourself. your choice……】
[Believe her, this goblin looks like a good person. 】
[Reject her politely. Such a pungent thing is not normal at first glance. 】
Given the two options, Mu You immediately chose 'believe', but before choosing, he held the pocket watch in his hand.
[You opened the bottle and poured the pollen onto yourself. 】
[While the pollen is flying, you only feel a smell similar to traditional Chinese medicine covering you, bitter and pungent, making you sneeze. 】
[The curse on you is 'unlucky ghost': In the next few hours, you will be plagued by bad luck. It is best to be cautious in every step you take. 】
"Is it really poisonous?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows and instinctively wanted to press the pocket watch.
But then, new content popped up in the text.
[Two caterpillars rushed towards you, but suddenly stopped. After sniffing around you, the anger in the eyes of the two caterpillars dissipated. They no longer regarded you as an enemy, and squirmed away from you in the other direction... …]
"Poisonous, but effective..."
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his fingers holding the pocket watch.
[After confirming that you are out of danger, you walk towards the fairy girl. 】
[You didn't notice a stumbling block at your feet, and you fell down beautifully, your life was -10. 】
Mu You's eyelids twitched. Did the curse come true so quickly?
A mere 10 points of life was not worth a special look back, so Mu You just let the character get up and walk to the goblin.
["I'm sorry, it's all caused by my bitter dust. I'm a useless fairy." Seeing you wrestling, the fairy girl hurriedly flew to your side and looked at you with an apologetic face, her eyes filled with mist. 】
[This fairy girl doesn’t look very smart, but she is a local after all. You are new here, so you might be able to ask her for some advice. 】
Three options: [Ask about its name and life experience], [Ask about bitter dust], [Ask about weirdness].
There was no question of price, so Mu You clicked through them one by one.
[You ask about the fairy girl’s life experience. 】
[The fairy girl tells you that she was originally a named upper-class fairy, and her job was to build sacred statues. However, because she made a mistake, she accidentally cut off the nose of the statue while carving the statue, which offended the gods and was punished. Deprived of his name and most of his abilities, he became a low-level goblin and was assigned to work in a garbage dump. From then on, he lived with garbage all day long. 】
[You ask about bitter dust. 】
[Bitter Garden is a city of flowers. 70% of the city is covered with flower fields. Collecting pollen from flowers is a skill that every fairy has innately. However, only the middle and upper class fairies can collect sweet pollen. Then it is made into 'lucky dust'. The higher the level of the fairy, the more powerful the lucky effect of the dust made.
The bottom fairies, especially the nameless fairies like her who made mistakes, can only collect bitter pollen. The dust produced will not only bring no luck, but will also bring bad luck to the user! 】
"Bitter pollen, this is where it comes from..."
After reading it, Mu You understood. No wonder the pollen in the Bitter Forest could not find its source. The pollen was produced by the fairies in the Bitter Garden and was of inferior quality.
It's just that I don't know what method was used here to transfer these pollen to the Bitter Forest, and then be sucked into the body by various creatures in the forest. Therefore, when killing creatures in the Bitter Forest, pollen will always explode.
[You asked what happened to the giant caterpillar just now? 】
[The girl tells you that those are monsters transformed from the corpses of dead fairies. In this bitter garden, such monsters are born every day from the corpses of fairies and small animals. No one knows what they are like. Formed, and why they appear, in short, all black monsters are collectively called "weird". 】
[Weird creatures will wander unconsciously in the Bitter Garden every day. They will not attack the native creatures in the Bitter Garden, but they will attack outsiders. Once one of them is killed, other weird creatures will take crazy revenge until they invade. until they are eliminated. Therefore, there are also rumors that the weird ones were created by gods to protect the safety of Sky City. 】
[And if outsiders want to be protected from strange attacks, they must borrow the dust made by fairies to cover up their own smell and disguise themselves as native creatures. 】
xenophobic?
Mu You frowned. He knew that the other three elves were relatively xenophobic, and now it seemed that the goblins were the same, but it was not the goblins who were xenophobic, but the goblin city.
This kind of monster that automatically recognizes and attacks outsiders can indeed make outsiders unable to hide here.
However, if using fairy dust can avoid being chased by monsters, can the lucky dust he collected before also be used?
Thinking of this, Mu You found lucky dust among the props and prepared to sprinkle some on his body to try.
As a result, the text pops up again.
[The fairy girl looks at you curiously, and carefully asks you why you came to the Bitter Garden? your choice……】
Two options: [Tell the truth], [Fool the past].
Mu You chose 'fool the past'.
[Out of caution, you did not truthfully inform the other party of your purpose. You only said that you were a traveler who accidentally ended up here with your friends. 】
[The fairy girl was delighted when she heard this and hurriedly asked you if you would like to accept her help. If you choose, she will follow you for the rest of the time, providing you with a constant supply of pollen, protecting you from weird attacks, and acting as your guide. 】
"?"
Mu You looked strange.
If the other party proposed some trade in exchange for her guide service, he would still understand. However, the goblin actually wanted to provide him with services for free, not only providing pollen, but also being a guide, and was willing to follow him... This only made Mu It’s a bit tiring to travel, but you must know that the free ones are often the most expensive ones.
Mu You couldn't figure out the goblin's purpose for a moment.
But after thinking about it, he agreed. After all, he was really unfamiliar with the place and was in urgent need of a guide.
Moreover, this goblin is a very weak goblin at first glance, with almost no fighting power. If the opponent really wants to harm him, he can counterattack at any time.
[You agreed to the elf girl’s proposal. 】
[When the fairy girl heard this, she smiled with relief,]
["Great! Please come with me and go back to my place first. I see that you seem to have suffered some injuries. You can recover from your injuries at my place first." The fairy girl couldn't hide her joy as she walked around you. He flew in a circle and took the initiative to lead the way. 】
Mu You didn't say much, and the controlling character followed silently.
Sure enough, he would encounter 'weird things' from time to time along the way, such as centipedes, caterpillars, poisonous ants, and all kinds of poisonous insects, all of which were 'ridden with black energy', but under the cover of dust, no one ever came to trouble him again.
However, the weirdness has been solved, but the curse cannot be shaken off.
[You stepped on a puddle of mud and slipped to the ground, your life was -10...]
[You were hit by a coconut fruit falling from a high altitude. Your head was bruised and bloody, and your health was -100...]
[A flying bird croaks and flies over your head, leaving a puddle of bird droppings on your shoulder...]
…
All kinds of unlucky events happened one after another along the way, and the loss of life was another. The key was mental pollution. Mu You's nerves were tense along the way. For the first time, he realized that people can be so unlucky that they can't even drink cold water. To the point of teeth.
Mu You even wondered for a while whether this fairy girl was following him on purpose, just to have fun watching his misfortune?
However, the fairy girl kept apologizing to him along the way, blaming herself for being too incompetent for causing him to suffer, and promised that she would work hard to compensate him.
There is really no hint of lying in each of the sincere texts, and it seems that I am really feeling extremely guilty and self-blame.
Mu You was also in a daze now. Are all the fairies really so kind and hospitable?
[You follow the fairy girl and arrive in front of a flower bud house. 】
[In front of you stands a small wooden house made of flowers and grass. It is only more than two meters high, which is a bit narrow for you. The furniture inside is all small and exquisite, but it is clean and tidy, and there is a fresh air inside and outside the room. Floral. 】
[The fairy girl led you into the wooden house and looked at you sheepishly: "I'm sorry, the humble house is simple and there is no useful furniture. I can only help you to rest here first."]
Mu You was looking at the information fed back by the omniscient crystal at this time, with a very exciting expression on his face.
[LV15 Flower Bud Room: The goblin’s residence. Resting inside can quickly recover injuries, physical strength and energy. 】
Level 15 houses!
Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it. Do all you fairies chat like this? If this is called a humble house, then what is the newly launched real estate system in Dawn City?
Moreover, all the buildings in their sky city are only at level ten...
It can only be said that Bitter Garden is indeed the original Sky City. If a low-level fairy's house can have level 15, then the level limit of this Sky City will only be higher, with levels 20 and 30 possible!
After cultivating here, the attributes that were lost in his divine skin before will probably be fully restored in less than a day!
[The fairy girl asked you to sit down on the soft flower bed, while she was busy rummaging through the cabinets in the house. After a while, she took out three pine cones from a certain cabinet and placed them in front of you in a panic.
Then he took out a small and exquisite teapot, carefully poured out a small cup of viscous clear liquid, and placed it in front of you. You suddenly felt the fragrance of flowers filling your mouth and nose. 】
Mu You used the omniscient crystal to check.
[Gold and Silver Nuts: A specialty plant from the Bitter Garden. After eating it, all physical strength will be restored immediately. In the next hour, all recovery and treatment effects will be doubled, and the free attribute will be permanently increased by 1 point, with a maximum limit of 10 points. 】
[Fairy Nectar: The nectar carefully brewed by the upper-level fairies through collecting a large amount of sweet pollen contains rich power of luck. Each upper-level fairy can only produce a small cup of nectar every year. You will be lucky within one day after taking it. It is bursting with energy, and the luck value is permanently +1. Each person can eat it up to three times. After eating it three times, they will receive a random blessing. 】
Mu You was surprised. He thought the goblin just brought some ordinary food to entertain him, but... it turned out that this was too precious!
["Please, please use it! The gold and silver fruit can satisfy your hunger and help you recover from your injuries faster. The fairy nectar can help you temporarily offset the effects of the curse." The fairy and fairy introduced you to you in a pretentious manner, but you paid attention. When she looked at the gold and silver fruit, she secretly swallowed her saliva. 】
[Seemingly noticing your gaze, the fairy girl waved her hands in panic: "You can eat it as soon as possible. You're welcome. We have this kind of fruit everywhere here. I can eat it every day. I'm tired of it long ago... Gu!"]
[Before the goblin finished speaking, her stomach suddenly let out a loud protest. The fairy girl's face suddenly turned red, and she turned into a blue light and flew out of the flower bud room, disappearing. Only the voice came from far away: "You rest first, I will collect pollen..."]
Mu You waited for a while to make sure that the goblin had really left, and then sighed.
As for the food at hand, he didn't touch it, mainly because he hadn't figured out the goblin's purpose yet.
These two things were obviously the best things in this goblin's house, so they were all brought out to entertain him. Mu You couldn't understand why a strange goblin he met for the first time was so kind to him for no reason.
Of course, he didn't let his guard down.
Mu You did not forget that when he first landed, he fell into a coma because he fell on his head. At that time, someone approached him and gave him something to drink, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
Moreover, when he landed, the text reminded him that he smelled the 'fragrance of earth', but when he woke up, he found himself in a smelly garbage dump, which indicated that he had probably been moved after landing.
In addition, he met two monsters immediately after waking up, and the fairy girl happened to appear nearby and helped him escape from the monsters in time. The timing was so coincidental that Mu You had to doubt that this would happen. It won't be a staged drama.
After thinking about it, Mu You summoned three clones in the game.
[No. 1, No. 2, and Linglong appear in front of you one after another. 】
[You took out a complete bottle of lucky dust, divided it into three parts, and handed them to three people respectively. 】
[You have assigned missions to three people: No. 1 and No. 2. They are to carry out exploration missions in east and west directions. You can explore freely while ensuring your own safety, but you must return before the dust is consumed. 】
[You take out the 'invisibility cloak' and give it to Linglong. Her mission is: to track the fairy girl and investigate her true purpose. 】
["This mission is good, it suits my taste!" Linglong licked her lips, took the invisibility cloak, gestured OK to you, and happily accepted the mission. 】
