Chapter 39

On July 15th, it had been a long time since the Wolf Pack Mercenary Group came looking for trouble, but Su Yao's two hidden mainline quests still showed no progress. She had spent all this time leveling up her magic by fighting monsters.

"Once the riot is over, Ayao will be able to reach level six."

Upon hearing the sound, Ya quickly flew to the hotel entrance, successfully becoming the first staff member to welcome Su Yao back!

Su Yao washed her hands and face, and the first thing she did was cuddle with Ya.

After spending the whole day outside looking at the strange faces of evil spirits and beasts, Su Yao's eyes suffered more and were even more exhausted than her sword-wielding hand!

Fortunately, the non-human staff at the hotel were each beautiful in their own way, allowing her to quickly cleanse her eyes.

"When you reach level six, the boss will go looking for the Water Repelling Pearl?" Peng San was helping Ya take care of the farm. Hearing the noise, he also ran to the door, ready with a cup of water to hand to Su Yao.

During this period, Peng San was extremely enthusiastic and had already been promoted to Su Yao's "lackey." Now, even Peng Yi's words couldn't compare to the importance of Su Yao's words.

Peng Yi was upstairs drinking water. Seeing his younger brother in this state gave him a headache, but he couldn't say anything. After all, they had been here for less than a month, and under Su Yao's guidance, Peng San had already risen to level five.

In the Dragon Chant Continent, the inheritance of magic relies solely on self-study. Those teachers who are willing to guide others in magic without charging any fees can truly be called "saints," with a status just slightly below that of the gods of magic.

So now Peng Yi not only resents Peng San, but is even a bit envious of him.

Su Yao took a sip of water before answering Peng San's question: "Yes, we leave at level six."

One of the methods provided by the system for using the treasure-seeking orb is to have the user search alone, and it also suggests that the treasure seeker's magic level should preferably be above level five.

Su Yao has been frantically increasing her magic experience lately in order to safely hunt for treasure.

"Tonight at eight, the riot begins. Ya, bring the man-eating flower and guard the backyard with Peng One and Peng Two. Peng Three and Little Snake, come with me to the front gate. As for Zhan Xing and Felix... you can rest."

These two people are too formidable. In this kind of activity, their presence is like a bug; the system wouldn't want them to participate.

Except for the two of them, the rest of the staff had no issues and immediately agreed.

The night grew deeper, and the moonlight grew brighter.

The clock struck eight, and the area outside the hotel suddenly became noisy.

Su Yao grabbed the sword and rushed out, and the others immediately took their positions.

[Warning! The first wave of evil spirits and beasts has arrived!]

[Name: Beast Scarlet Flame Tiger]

Level: 5

[This is a unique feline beast found in the Misty Forest. Their appearance is not much different from that of ordinary tigers, with the only distinguishing feature being their ability to breathe crimson flames. These flames are comparable to volcanic lava, capable of melting anything and burning enemies across levels. Enemies from level 0 to 8 are no match for its crimson flames.

Of course, it is not an invincible existence. Its crimson flame can only be released once a day, and it can only target one object. If it misses the target, it won't affect anything else. So as long as you dodge the crimson flame once, it is nothing to fear.

[Title: Skeleton Cat]

Level: 5

Cats are very cute, but are skeleton cats still cute?

Such evil spirits do not possess strong offensive capabilities, but their defense and evasion skills are maxed out. Their agile forms allow them to weave through the battlefield unscathed. Even if they are hit, they won't die immediately—after all, cats have nine lives.

[Title: Mouth Monster]

Level: 4

The monsters were the size and shape of a human mouth, floating forward. Their small bodies seemed inconspicuous, but they should not be underestimated. After all, mouths are naturally made for eating, and they can bite through anything. If they bite you, you will be eaten. Do not get bitten! If you do get bitten, you must quickly cut off the piece of flesh they have bitten into, sacrificing a small part to save the whole!

It might be because both Su Yao's combat power and the hotel's level had increased, this time the enemies encountered in the "Full Moon" event were noticeably much stronger.

Su Yao had just dodged the fiery blaze of the Crimson Flame Tiger when, in the next second, a monstrous mouth landed on her neck. Fortunately, Peng San, quick-eyed and swift-handed, killed the creature beside her. Otherwise, the flesh on Su Yao's neck and shoulder would have been lost for sure.

"Pang San, I'll block them from the front, you watch out for these mouth monsters behind me."

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

The skeleton cat ran everywhere, but it could be seen, whereas the mouth monster was truly easy to overlook.

Peng San immediately understood Su Yao's plan, "No problem, leave these things to me!"

After speaking, he put on the spacesuit that Su Yao had given him earlier.

I don't know if it will work, but let's hold it off for now.

Su Yao didn't have time to look at Peng San's actions behind her, but even if she saw them, she wouldn't say anything. Although there was only one spacesuit, it was worth it if it could save a life.

Moreover, based on the situation with the first batch, during this event, it's not certain that a Spider King of only level three will appear.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully repelling the first wave of attacks."

[The second, third, and fourth batches are about to arrive.]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully resisting the second/third/fourth wave of attacks.]

Su Yao, along with the store clerk, had just repelled the first wave when the second wave arrived.

By one o'clock in the morning, after repelling the second wave, there was finally some time to rest.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

Su Yao and Peng San entered the hotel, where Peng Er and the little snake were lying in the center of the lobby.

The little snake was simply out of strength and was chewing on wild animal meat to replenish itself.

Peng Er's injury was more severe; one of his thighs was reduced to just bone. It happened during the battle with the second wave of evil spirit beasts, when he was bitten by a mouth monster left over from the first wave.

Ya's face was pale. She had exhausted her magic to ensure that Peng Er's bones remained intact.

Peng Yi knelt beside Peng Er, his eyes filled with heartache, and his hand, feeding Peng Er the muscle-regenerating potion, trembled uncontrollably.

Su Yao walked over to Peng Er. At first, Peng Er was crying out in pain, but eventually, the pain became so intense that he lost consciousness, as if he had fainted from the agony.

Su Yao quickly called out to the system, "I want to draw a card, a fixed-track healing potion."

She had never drawn this type of card before, but Su Yao felt that as long as enough money was given, the system could make it happen.

[Treatment potion 888 gold coins per use, 8588 gold coins guaranteed to produce the potion Peng Er needs right now.]

The difference was a thousand, but the expensive one could directly address the issue. Without a second thought, Su Yao chose the expensive one.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a four-star recovery card: This card is in potion form. After consumption, it can rapidly restore the injured part to its most perfect and peak condition. (Note: ① It can only be used on one injured part; multiple parts require multiple cards; ② The most perfect and peak condition is based on the consumer's inner desire. It will become the way they most prefer in their mind.)]

As soon as she got the potion, Su Yao handed it to Peng Yi.

Peng Yi looked up in a daze, just about to ask a question, when Su Yao cut him off, saying, "This potion works better than the muscle-regenerating one. Use this."

Peng Yi became excited upon hearing this and immediately discarded the muscle-regenerating potion in favor of the new medicine. However, as soon as the object left Peng Er's mouth for a moment, Peng Er stopped cooperating.

Peng Yi tried again and again, but he couldn't manage to pry open his brother's mouth, which was tightly clenched in pain. At this moment, the semi-conscious Peng Er began to thrash about, trying to break free from Peng Yi's embrace.

Seeing that administering the medicine was becoming increasingly troublesome, Su Yao and the others wanted to step in and help, but Peng Yi refused. With a swift motion, he dislocated Peng Er's jaw.

The rest of the hotel staff watched in astonishment, but Peng San was not surprised; he seemed quite accustomed to such scenes.

He calmly stepped forward, coordinating with his elder brother, one hand supporting his second brother's chin, the other helping to press down his tongue.

With his help, Peng Yi found it much easier to administer the medicine. Holding Peng Er's head with one hand, he poured the potion down with the other.

After administering the potion, Peng Yi and Peng San worked together to reattach Peng Er's jaw.

Peng Er's pain gradually subsided, and his consciousness slowly returned.

Faster than Peng Er's mind recovered were his legs. In just a minute, the flesh had all returned, and the skin was completely unscathed, even smoother and more delicate than the other leg.

Peng San relaxed, reaching out to touch with a sly grin, "Why are these legs so white? Where's the hair? Why don't they grow any hair?"

Peng's expression was complex. Delicate, fair, and hairless... it seemed to be a woman's leg!

Another minute passed, and Peng Er woke up.

He opened his eyes and then closed them, closed them and then opened them again. After repeating this several times, Peng gave him a tap on the head, and only then did he open his eyes wide and sit up.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Peng Er said, feeling very wronged. "I thought I was dead, and you were mourning me!"

Peng Yi slapped him: "Idiot! How can you open your eyes if you're dead!"

Peng Er had his own logic: "I thought it was my soul opening its eyes to look at you!"

"Oh, right, my leg is healed? Why don't I feel any pain?" Peng Er moved his legs and indeed felt no pain, only a sense of comfort. "The boss must have helped me, right? Thank you, boss, for saving my worthless leg!"

Su Yao forced a stiff smile and didn't reply.

Peng Yi sighed and gave Peng Er another slap, "I just want to know what goes on in your head every day!"

Peng Er inexplicably got slapped. He covered his head angrily and grumbled, "What now? Why did you hit me?"

Peng Yi directly rolled up his pants, "See for yourself!"

Peng Er lowered his head, his gaze splitting inch by inch. Three seconds later, a scream echoed through the inn: "What happened to my legs!"

Su Yao couldn't help but sigh.

……

The potion was incredibly potent, and the corresponding precautions were somewhat troublesome. However, as long as it could save Peng Er's leg, there was no need to hesitate. So Su Yao had just given it to Peng Yi directly.

The precautions were told to Peng Yi when they were feeding it in, and Peng Yi listened but didn't feel there was any problem.

At that time, none of them had considered that the problem would lie with Peng Er. They hadn't expected that Peng Er would regard this leg as the most perfect in his own heart...

Peng Yi was distressed and asked, "Are you thinking about falling in love?"

Peng Er was stunned for a long time before he understood what everyone meant. He chuckled and gave Peng Yi a light punch. "Hey! Brother, you misunderstood! Actually, I just want legs like these."

"This isn't about women's legs or men's legs, I just purely think I have too much body hair, it's prickly. And look at this leg, so much dirt, accumulated for so long that it can't be rubbed off, it's prickly to the touch... This leg has no dirt, not much body hair, clean, too clean! I just want this!"

After hearing this, Su Yao was the first to stand up, and the other non-human staff members immediately followed.

The hall was instantly left with only the three Peng brothers.

Peng San: "Second Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you... but this is just too filthy!"

After speaking, Peng San also returned to the front door.

Peng Er looked pitifully at his elder brother. Peng Yi silently wiped his hands on Peng Er several times before speaking to comfort him, "It's okay, a dirty body is just a dirty body. It's better than having a dirty heart."

"Since you're better now, you should go back to guarding the door."

"Alright, alright, alright." Peng Er excitedly stood up, ready to follow Peng Yi to the backyard.

But... trouble came again.

Although both legs are my own, the one with the dirt not fully scrubbed off... feels so heavy!

Peng Yi: Don't want to listen, hurry up and leave.jpg

At the break of dawn, the system broadcast arrived.

[The fifth wave of evil beasts is about to attack! Please be prepared, host!]

[Name: Giant Hamster]

Level: 5

[These are not the stinking rats from the gutter; they are giant rats plundering enemies under the sunlight. Their bodies are impervious to blades and bullets, making them the best defensive material. To defeat them, you must find their only weakness.]
