Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Flowers Banquet?

Fang Yu was startled; wasn’t this the reason why those foreign martial artists came to Tianyuan Town?

Most were just passing through, but it also caused quite a few disturbances that were difficult to govern. Due to the large number of people, they even created the Bonfire Gathering.

To think that players have also acquired such opportunities?

The thought of a player being able to infiltrate the legendary Black Withered Saint Sect made Fang Yu itch with envy.

The legendary sects, those were top-tier settings! If I had started in such a sect, maybe I could even challenge a Hall Master by now?

After clicking into the forum post, Fang Yu quickly realized that wasn’t the case.

This guy just attended the [Flowers Banquet] of the Flowers and Birds Sect, invited as a disciple of one of the many small sects, and the so-called experience at the Black Withered Saint Sect was merely a record of their sect’s journey.

The post was quite dated upon checking its timestamp. Scrolling further, indeed, the content had accumulated quite a lot.

Without pictures, just a big chunk of diary-text, it was tiring for Fang Yu to read, so he quickly skimmed and jumped to read the latest.

Suddenly, that long diary text turned into a short line.

”On the seventeenth night, the persistently trailing demon suddenly launched a surprise attack with accomplices. Senior brothers and sisters quickly resisted but were tragically killed, their bodies left unwhole. And so was I.”

Dead? All dead?

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Somehow, this brief sentence seemed to have quite a story behind it, but he didn’t put much thought into it. The comments below were cursing the cliffhanger, but the original poster indeed never showed up again.

The wilderness, huh…

Fang Yu remembered the Evil Leopard Demon he had just killed yesterday.

If one encountered such a level of demon in the wilderness, indeed most people would face dire odds.

Reading the post, it seemed that the demon waited for its companions before making its move, essentially having these people in the bag.

Those people must have thought of driving away the trailing demon; probably they tried but didn’t succeed. When so many gather in one place, a single demon wouldn’t be able to handle them, hence it called for other demons for a joint takedown.

Through this post, Fang Yu gained another level of understanding of the outdoor demons.

Speaking of which, Zhuo Xueer also mentioned that starting from her position as a patroller, she would begin assigning outdoor tasks. I must not capsize in a gutter.

After searching a few more posts, Fang Yu finally did his routine search for keywords related to Tianyuan Town.

Little did he expect, to his surprise upon searching, that quite a few player guilds had sprung up in Tianyuan Town, with both big and small forces actively recruiting members.

Offering initial silver, job opportunities for characters, and other newbie benefits - seeing all this left Fang Yu somewhat dazed.

Many were simply like civil mutual aid organizations, with various connections but not much cohesion.

However, the Dreamshock Society, a player faction that had initially taken over the Xuan family property, had clearly grown stronger, posting publicly about joining the NPC force Black Tiger Gang in Tianyuan Town for grand plans.

Fang Yu was dumbfounded.

Black Tiger Gang...

It can’t be that Black Tiger Gang, can it?

Upon opening the post, sure enough, there was a vast discussion praising how advanced the NPC intelligence of the Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang was, how impressive the AI was – deep and far-sighted, with everyone as mighty as a dragon, an innovative concept, definitely the protagonist figure set by the system. There was no mistake following them.

At the end, it mentioned a key point.

Their faction, now the Xuan family, would receive 10 Bai Wuyuan pills every month if they joined the Black Tiger Gang. Perform well, and the number of pills could increase.

Three of the pills would go to the top leaders of the faction, and the rest would be auctioned to the members according to faction contribution points.

The so-called faction contribution points were naturally not provided by the game’s internal system but a special algorithm within their faction group. Fang Yu didn’t quite understand it; he would have to join the group to find out.

For the moment, Fang Yu had no intention of joining a faction.

As for those Bai Wuyuan pills, they seemed quite well-regarded – restoring health, reviving strength, even curing illnesses, much-praised. One pill was worth ten Silver Taels on the market, and they were scarce.

Being able to auction them off from the faction and resell them would be a lucrative deal!

In the game, injuries and diseases were a hassle, similar to real-life situations where neglect could lead to death.

So medical expenses were unbelievably costly.

As for medicine pills that could be used in combat, those were even rarer, premium goods not accessible to ordinary players.

Bai Wuyuan pills, however, were a miracle medicine that combined convenience, efficiency, and comprehensive effectiveness.

Most diseases, players didn’t know how to treat; they would have to go to a clinic to see a doctor – which was not only dragging but also expensive.

Directly going to a pharmacy was even more ridiculous; they had no idea which medicine they needed for their ailments.

But Bai Wuyuan pills were different; they could cure most illnesses, wounds, weakness, or lack of strength – just take a Bai Wuyuan pill.

In short, sick or not, just take Bai Wuyuan pills, no need to learn about herbs or medical skills, no need to research, a great deal of effort saved; the only issue was their cost – expensive and hard to buy.

Furthermore, they were convenient; venturing outside and suddenly contracting a severe illness, Bai Wuyuan pills could save your life, or at least suppress the symptoms until you received medical attention.

Through various promotions and real-life examples, Bai Wuyuan pills have become the darling of many martial artists in Tianyuan Town, becoming a sort of stable currency, naturally driving their price up.

It seems that the Black Tiger Gang had consolidated quite a bit of the lower-rungs of power with these pills, with the Dreamshock Society’s Xuan family being a prime example.
