74: Chapter 74 Isn’t This a Good Thing?

Having handed the antibiotics to Bai Jin, Yang Yu continued to drive the carriage, uncertain if this so-called greatest invention in human medical history would work.

In reality, most antibiotics are prescription drugs, and Yang Yu dared not use them recklessly.

However, the antibiotics were drawn out by the System, boasting better quality than ordinary products.

In black and white on the label, it claimed to have no side effects or adverse reactions, suitable for symptoms that basically matched Bai Jin’s.

In the game, it wasn’t without precedent for lottery rewards to cure weak characters.

Yang Yu had every reason to believe that these antibiotics were the key tool for treating Bai Jin.

If it failed, it didn’t matter; he would simply have to run around the map some more.

Holding the white medicine bottle to her chest, Bai Jin leaned against a wooden crate and said, “We, are we going to a lot of places?”

“Probably around the entire world.”

“I just happen to have some things to do as well, may I entrust them to you when the time comes?”

Huff—this was the scent of a hidden task!

Although no hidden task had popped up on the task bar, Yang Yu’s years of gaming experience told him he was vaguely touching upon the threshold of Bai Jin’s hidden task.

No matter what the outcome for Bai Jin would be, she was bound to give him some important information.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yang Yu knew to proceed step by step and not to rush, so he said:

“If you’re still willing to trust me by then, I am willing to serve.

However, before that, we should first visit the Library to plan our route thoroughly.”

The Level Limit Upgrade Sugar expanded Yang Yu’s level cap from 20 to 40.

But considering that Silver Orchid Commerce wouldn’t let him go easily and would surely send assassins after him, and that he would receive various tasks along the way with experience rapidly increasing, his level would soon hit the cap again.

Therefore, from now on, Yang Yu had to consider how to obtain another Racial Essence.

At the moment, aside from clearly knowing that there would be a Dragon God Conference in two years where he could gain the giant dragon’s Racial Essence, the methods for acquiring other Racial Essences were unclear.

According to Andro, there was an independent Library in the center of the Human Three Kingdoms that collected all sorts of knowledge and intelligence.

Naturally, Yang Yu did not intend to miss out on a place where he could obtain a large amount of information at once.

He had long pinpointed the Library as his next target.

There, he would identify the race he wanted, then acquire the Racial Essence to gradually become stronger, and finally, he would aim to obtain the powerful Dragon Race Essence.

This was his phased plan before the Demon King’s arrival.

“The Dragon God Conference.”

As Sunrise slowly ascended, Yang Yu murmured, opening his panel.

[Attributes

Name: Yang Yu (ID: Rolling Potato) Level: LV 27 Experience Value: 3200/4000

Race: Mixed Species (Human.Plant Clan) HP: 1574/1623 MP: 521/751 Physical Strength: 924/1300

Secondary Profession: Herbalist Apprentice (LV 1), Monster Tamer (LV 1)

Personal Attributes: Strength 109, Defense 97, Intelligence 56, Special Defense 65, Agility 139, Charm 119, Endurance 252, Luck 1

Free Attribute Points: 0

Resistance: Drug Resistance +20%, Fire Attribute Resistance -10%, Ice Attribute Resistance -10%, Water Attribute Resistance +10%

Evaluation: You are much stronger than the average person of the same level, but you’re still far from a true genius.

——Stronger than the average person, but still far short of a “genius.”

The Dragon God Conference gathers heroes and geniuses from all over the world.

My current attributes thrown into the mix might not even make a splash.

To keep getting stronger, one must either keep looking for Racial Essences to raise the level cap or find tasks like the one to hunt the Goblin King’s origin and reap rich rewards.

After settling the origin hunt task, in addition to 12,000 Experience, 100 free attribute points, and 50 Skill Points, Yang Yu also gained three chances to draw prizes.

With a 100% chance for a Skill, he drew a Passive named [Tenacity]—when Blood Volume drops below 50%, Resistance increases by 10%, and every five seconds, 1% of Blood Volume is recovered.

Fairly standard; Yang Yu would be thankful as long as it wasn’t a face-slapping skill.

He barely remembered the profession’s general Passive [Block], which seemed never to have triggered.

If it weren’t for verifying the effect of [Tenacity], Yang Yu might have forgotten he even had that skill.

With a 100% chance for a Rare or above item, Yang Yu drew the antibiotics Bai Jin held, which had no side effects.

With a 100% chance for Equipment, Yang Yu drew a rather delicate item—a Race Disguise Necklace.

This piece of Equipment had no attribute enhancements but only the effect of disguising one race as another.

However, it only looked the part and did not grant the functions and talents of the disguised race.

Yang Yu instantly thought of using it with [Goblin’s Divine Hand] to reset points, but the necklace didn’t have the goblin as an option among the races, offering only human and various Subhuman options instead, leaving him disappointed once again.

Now, the only use Yang Yu could think of for it was to disguise as various Subhumans to participate in their essence contests or to hide the elf in the train compartment well.

In the three human kingdoms, Subhumans were relatively rare, and such a beautiful elf would inevitably attract some criminal elements.

If the elf could be disguised as a human using the Race Disguise Necklace, it would save a lot of trouble.

Wait a minute!

Yang Yu’s eyebrows quirked up.

Attracting criminals?

Isn’t that a good thing?

That would be tons of Experience being delivered to his door for free.

To sum up, the Race Disguise Necklace was junk.

Having completed the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce’s infiltration task and gained three chances at the draw, Yang Yu was still heartwarmingly generous.

A packet of M-brand fries with ketchup (junk), a bottle of the national classic hot sauce Lao Ganma (ordinary), and a seventh-grade math textbook from nine years of compulsory education (junk).

While he did manage to draw something other than junk, Yang Yu didn’t want to say anything more about the Lao Ganma, only hoping to sell it to a food enthusiast later.

Arriving at a small town, Yang Yu decided to take a break here.

On one hand, to observe Bai Jin’s condition and on the other, to awaken the last link among the Warrior, Mage, Priest trio, turning her into a combat force and letting her help earn some Experience.

After finding an inn and settling everything, Yang Yu went to a map shop and bought a map to the All Things Library.

Bai Jin, meanwhile, went to a clothing store and bought a dress; after all, if the elf woke up to find herself naked, she would certainly misunderstand.

Perhaps, in a moment of confusion, she might offer herself to Yang Yu.

Returning to the inn, Yang Yu didn’t rush to awaken the elf but continued to observe Bai Jin’s condition for a few days.

During these days, Bai Jin’s health improved slightly, her Experience stopped falling, and her attribute values began to slowly recover.

Seeing the effectiveness of the antibiotics, Yang Yu finally decided to awaken the elf.

Once Bai Jin dressed the elf and covered her with a blanket, Yang Yu directly poured the from-the-sheep’s-back-to-its-wool Potion into the elf’s mouth.

Watching as the state of the elf’s deep slumber dispersed, Yang Yu pulled out a chair he had prepared, propped up his legs, and opened a book.
