Chapter 487: Nameless Fairy
Mu You had already prepared his attack, but he didn't expect a voice to suddenly tell him to stop, and the reason he gave was so strong that he couldn't ignore it.
Mu You had no choice but to choose 'Cancel the attack'.
[You canceled the fireball spell, teleported backwards, and distanced yourself from the two caterpillars. ]
[After retreating to a safe area, you turned around and saw a fairy girl, only the size of your palm, hiding most of her body behind a small tree not far away. She showed her head and looked at you cautiously. ]
[This fairy has blue hair, green eyes, a white hat on her head, a blue and white dress, and a pair of wide butterfly-like wings on her back. The center of the wings is white, and the edges are wavy sky blue. The whole fairy looks like a butterfly hovering in the air. ]
[Although it has a pleasing color, you noticed that the fairy girl's face and body were stained with a lot of dust and stains, and the originally clean and beautiful wings were also covered with scars and gaps, which greatly destroyed the beauty. ]
[At this time, the two caterpillars that you had thrown away in the distance were already roaring and crawling towards 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 to you. ]
[You subconsciously caught the mini bottle and saw that the bottle contained half a bottle of flower powder, but it exuded a pungent smell, as if it was something ominous. ]
[The fairy girl motioned for you to sprinkle the pollen on yourself. You choose...]
[Believe her, this fairy looks like a good person. ]
[Refuse her politely, such a pungent thing is not normal at first glance. ]
There are two options, Mu You immediately chose "believe", but before choosing, he held the pocket watch in his hand.
[You opened the bottle mouth and poured the pollen on your body. ]
[As the pollen flew, you only felt a smell similar to Chinese medicine enveloping you, bitter and pungent, making you sneeze. ]
[You are cursed with the word ‘unlucky ghost’: in the next few hours, you will be plagued by bad luck, and you’d better be careful with every step you take. ]
“Is it really poisonous?”
Mu You raised his eyebrows and instinctively wanted to press the pocket watch.
But soon after, new content popped up in the text.
[Two caterpillars rushed to your side, but suddenly stopped. After sniffing around you, the hostility in the eyes of the two caterpillars dissipated. They no longer regarded you as an enemy and crawled away in another direction around you...]
“Toxic, 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 walked towards the fairy girl. ]
[You didn’t notice a stumbling block at your feet, and you fell to the ground gorgeously, with a life of -10. ]
Mu You’s eyelids twitched. Did this curse come true so quickly?
A mere 10 points of life is not worth a special retracing. Mu You directly let the character crawl up and walk in front of the fairy.
【“I’m sorry, it’s all my bitter dust’s fault. I’m a useless fairy.” Seeing you fall, the fairy girl hurriedly flew to your side, looking at you with an apologetic face, her eyes full of mist. 】
【This fairy girl doesn’t look very smart, but she is a local after all. You are new here, maybe you can ask her some questions. 】
Three options [Ask about its name and life experience], [Ask about bitter dust], [Ask about weirdness].
There is no cost question, Mu You clicked on them one by one.
【You ask about the fairy girl’s life experience. 】
【The fairy girl tells you that she was originally a high-level fairy with a name, and her job was to build a sacred statue, but because she made a mistake, she accidentally cut off the statue’s nose when carving a statue, which angered the god, and was deprived of her name and most of her abilities, becoming a low-level fairy, and was assigned to work in the garbage dump, and from then on she spent all day with garbage. 】
【You ask about bitter dust. 】
【The Bitter Garden is a city of flowers. 70% of the city is planted with flower fields. Collecting pollen from flowers is a skill that every fairy is born with. However, only the middle and upper level fairies can collect sweet pollen and then make it into "lucky dust". The higher the level of the fairy, the stronger the luck effect of the dust they make.
The lower level fairies, especially the nameless fairies like her who have made mistakes, can only collect bitter pollen. The dust they make will not only not have luck, but will bring bad luck to the user! 】
"Bitter pollen, so this is how it comes..."
Mu You understood after reading it. No wonder the pollen in the Bitter Forest can't find its source. It turns out that this pollen is a low-quality product produced by the fairies in the Bitter Garden.
It's just that I don't know what method was used here to transfer these pollens to the Bitter Forest, and they were absorbed into the body by various creatures in the forest. Therefore, killing creatures in the Bitter Forest will always explode pollen.
【What did you ask about the giant caterpillar just now? 】
【The girl told you that those were monsters transformed from the bodies of dead fairies. In this bitter garden, such monsters appear every day, born from the bodies of fairies and small animals. No one knows how they are formed or why they appear. In short, all black monsters are collectively called "weird". 】
[The monsters 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 monsters will retaliate wildly until the invader is eliminated. So there are rumors that the monsters are created by gods to protect the safety of the Sky City. ]
[And if outsiders want to avoid being attacked by monsters, they must use the dust made by fairies to cover up their own smell and disguise themselves as native creatures. ]
Xenophobia?
Mu You frowned. He knew that the other three elves were more xenophobic, and now it seems that the fairy tribe is the same, but it is not the fairies who are xenophobic, but the fairy city.
This kind of monster that automatically recognizes and attacks outsiders can indeed make outsiders nowhere to hide here.
However, since using fairy dust can avoid the pursuit of monsters, can the lucky dust he collected before also be used?
Thinking of this, Mu You found the lucky dust in the props and prepared to sprinkle some on himself to try.
As a result, the text popped up again at this time.
[The fairy girl looked at you curiously and asked you carefully what your purpose was in the Bitter Garden? You chose...]
Two options: [Tell the truth], [Fool it].
Mu You chose ‘Fool it’.
[Out of caution, you did not tell the other party your purpose, but only said that you were a traveler who accidentally drifted here with your friends. ]
[The fairy girl was delighted when she heard this, and hurriedly asked if you were willing to accept her help. If you are willing, she will follow you in the next period of time, continue to provide you with pollen, protect you from strange attacks, and act as a guide for you. ]
"?"
Mu You looked at her with a strange expression.
If the other party proposed some transactions in exchange for her guide service, he could understand it. As a result, this fairy actually wanted to provide him with free services, not only providing pollen, but also being a guide, and willing to follow him... This made Mu You a little nervous, because free is often the most expensive.
Mu You couldn't figure out the fairy's purpose for a while.
But after thinking about it, he agreed. After all, he was really unfamiliar with the place and urgently needed 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 counter at any time.
[You agreed to the goblin girl's proposal. ]
[The goblin girl smiled with relief after hearing this.]
["Great! Please follow me and go back to my residence first. I see that you seem to have some injuries. You can recover from the injuries at my residence first." The goblin girl flew around you in a circle with joy and took the initiative to lead the way. ]
Mu You didn't say much, and controlled the character to follow silently behind.
As expected, he encountered "weirdness" from time to time along the way, such as centipedes, caterpillars, poisonous ants, and all kinds of poisonous insects, all of which were "encircled by black air", but under the cover of dust, no one ever came to trouble him again.
However, the weirdness was solved, but the curse could not be gotten rid of.
[You stepped on a pool of mud and slipped to the ground, life -10...]
[You were hit by a coconut falling from a high altitude, your head was broken and bleeding, life -100...]
[A bird flew over your head with a quack, leaving a pool of bird droppings on your shoulder...]
...
All kinds of unlucky events occurred one after another along the way. The loss of life was secondary. The key was the spiritual pollution. Mu You was nervous all the way. For the first time, he realized that people can be so unlucky that drinking cold water will make your teeth stick.
Mu You even suspected that this fairy girl followed him on purpose to see him in trouble for fun?
However, the fairy girl kept apologizing to him along the way, blaming herself for being too incompetent, causing him to suffer, and promised to work hard to compensate him in the future.
The sincere texts did not show any lies, and seemed to be in extreme guilt and self-blame.
Mu You was a little confused now. Are all the fairies really so kind and hospitable?
[You followed the fairy girl and came to a flower bud house. ]
[In front of you stood a small wooden house built with flowers and plants. It was only two meters high and a little narrow for you. The furniture inside was also small and exquisite, but it was clean and tidy. The room was filled with a fresh flower fragrance. ]
[The fairy girl led you into the wooden house and looked at you embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my humble home is simple and there is no good furniture. I can only ask you to rest here first." ]
Mu You was looking at the information fed back by the all-knowing crystal at this time, and his face was quite wonderful.
[LV15 flower bud house: the residence of fairies. Resting inside can quickly recover injuries, physical strength and energy. ]
Level 15 house!
Mu You's eyelids jumped. Do all the fairies chat like this? If this is called a humble home, then what is the real estate system that has just been launched in Dawn City?
Moreover, in their Sky City, all buildings are only up to level 10...
It can only be said that Bitter Garden is worthy of being the original Sky City. A house of a low-level fairy can be level 15, so the level cap of this Sky City will be even higher, possibly level 20 or 30!
Cultivating here, the attributes that he had previously lost in his divine skin 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 boxes in the house. After a while, she took out three pine cones from a cabinet and placed them in front of you in a panic.
Then she took out a small and exquisite teapot, carefully poured out a small cup of viscous clear liquid from it, and placed it in front of you. You immediately felt the fragrance of flowers overflowing in your mouth and nose. ]
Mu You used the All-Knowing Crystal to check it out.
[Gold and Silver Nuts: A specialty plant of the Bitter Garden. After eating, all physical strength is restored immediately. In the next hour, all recovery and treatment effects are doubled, and 1 free attribute is permanently increased, with a maximum of 10 points. 】
【Fairy nectar: The upper-level fairies carefully brew nectar from a large amount of sweet pollen collected, which contains a strong power of luck. Each upper-level fairy can only produce a small cup of nectar every year. You will be extremely lucky within one day after taking it, and your luck value will be permanently +1. Each person can eat it up to three times. After eating it three times, you will receive a random blessing. 】
Mu You was surprised. He thought the fairy just took some ordinary food to entertain him, but... this is too precious!
【“Please, please use it! The golden and silver fruit can satisfy your hunger and help you recover from injuries faster. The fairy nectar can help you temporarily offset the effect of the curse.” The fairy fairy pretended to be generous and introduced it to you, but you noticed that she secretly swallowed her saliva when she looked at the golden and silver fruit. 】
【As if noticing your gaze, the fairy girl waved her hands in panic: "Just eat as soon as possible, you're welcome, this kind of fruit is everywhere here, I can eat it every day, I'm tired of it... gulp!"】
【Before the fairy finished speaking, her stomach suddenly made a loud protest. The fairy girl's face suddenly turned red, turned into a blue light and flew out of the bud room, disappearing, only the voice came from afar: "You rest first, I'll go collect pollen..."】
Mu You waited for a while and made sure that the fairy really left, then sighed.
As for the food at hand, he didn't touch it, mainly because he hadn't figured out the purpose of this fairy.
These two things were obviously the best things in this fairy's home, and they were all taken out to entertain him. Mu You couldn't understand why a strange fairy who met for the first time would be so nice to him for no reason?
Of course, he didn't let down his guard because of this.
Mu You didn't forget that when he first landed, he fell into a coma because of a head injury. 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 prompted him to smell the "fragrance of soil", but when he woke up, he found himself in a stinking garbage dump, which means that he was probably moved after landing.
In addition, he immediately encountered two monsters after waking up, and the fairy girl happened to appear nearby and helped him escape from the monsters in time. The timing was too coincidental, so Mu You had to wonder if this was a designed drama.
After thinking about it, Mu You summoned three clones in the game.
[No. 1, No. 2, and Linglong appeared in front of you in turn. ]
[You took out a complete bottle of lucky dust, divided it into three parts, and gave them to the three people respectively. ]
[You gave the three people a task: No. 1 and No. 2 were to carry out exploration tasks in the east and west directions. They were to explore freely while ensuring their own safety, but they had to return before the dust was consumed. ]
[You took out the 'invisibility cloak' and gave it to Linglong. Her task was to track the fairy girl and investigate her true intentions. ]
["This task is good, it suits my taste!" Linglong licked her lips, took the invisibility cloak, made an OK gesture to you, and gladly accepted the task. ]
