“Stand back.
You don’t want to get splashed by the potion too.”
Fu Mo picked Bailu up and moved her aside, then tossed the Splash Potion of Weakness in his hand directly at the infected member of the Cloud Knights strapped to the operating table.
The Splash Potion of Weakness shattered on contact, dousing him in gray liquid.
To the surprise of Jing Yuan and the others, however, the shards of the Glass Bottle vanished outright.
Before they could examine this more closely, the Infected, who had been roaring incessantly on the operating table, suddenly grew quiet.
Even his growls sounded feeble.
“It worked that quickly?
Amazing!”
Bailu applauded from the side.
Her earlier sedative had been completely ineffective, yet Fu Mo’s potion had worked remarkably well.
Fu Mo had no time to respond to Bailu.
He took out the Golden Apple he had just made, stuffed it directly into the Infected’s mouth, and then…
stepped aside empty-handed.
Jing Yuan and the others waited tensely for Fu Mo’s next move.
After a full minute passed without him doing anything, Jing Yuan couldn’t help asking,
“Fu Mo, is that it?”
“Yeah.
Once he stops trembling, he should be more or less cured.”
Fu Mo pointed at the Infected, who was lying on the operating table and trembling nonstop.
Seeing the violent tremors begin after he ate the Golden Apple put Fu Mo considerably more at ease.
The symptoms were exactly the same as when treating an infected Villager.
Evidently, Minecraft Rules had recognized this infected member of the Cloud Knights as an infected Villager.
Hearing this, Jing Yuan and the others asked no further questions and waited patiently.
Meanwhile, Fu Xuan secretly formed hand seals and began divining the Infected’s fortune.
As soon as the result appeared, Fu Xuan’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed, and delight spread across her face.
The fortune of this member of the Cloud Knights had been completely transformed.
It was an omen of tremendous good fortune!
That meant Fu Mo’s treatment was certain to work!
Before long, the Infected stopped struggling.
The dark green color covering his body receded like the tide, and in less than half a second, he returned to his original appearance.
However, the shoots that had sprouted when he became Mara-Struck had torn through his armor, leaving it riddled with holes.
“Ugh…
Where am I?”
The member of the Cloud Knights opened his eyes in confusion and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.
The next second, several faces entered his field of vision.
“General?
Master Diviner?
Bailu?”
Startled, the member of the Cloud Knights hurriedly tried to sit up, only to discover that he was firmly restrained to the operating table.
Bailu stepped forward, took his wrist, and examined him carefully before exclaiming in delight,
“The Zombie Virus is completely gone!
He’s even healthier than the General now!”
Jing Yuan’s lips twitched at suddenly being dragged into the comparison.
He had been taking good care of his health lately, so how was he somehow the unhealthy one?
Jing Yuan coughed lightly and changed the subject.
“So, is he completely cured now?”
Bailu was about to nod, but she couldn’t be certain when it came to this particular Zombie Virus.
She could only turn toward Fu Mo, who had walked over and nodded.
“Yes, he’s completely cured.”
Only after receiving Fu Mo’s confirmation did Bailu relax and undo all the restraints.
The first thing the member of the Cloud Knights did upon standing was bow deeply to Fu Mo.
“Thank you for saving my life.
If you ever need anything from me, simply say the word.
Whether I must climb a mountain of blades or plunge into a sea of flames, I won’t hesitate!”
From his fervent expression, Fu Mo knew he wasn’t merely making an empty promise.
Smiling, he waved a hand.
“It’s fine.
This was simply a commission from General Jing Yuan.”
“No!
A commission is one thing, but not everyone possesses the ability to cure me as you do!”
Bailu felt as though she had just been subtly attacked.
Still, the man’s attitude seemed a little too enthusiastic.
Then again, Fu Mo had saved his life, so it was understandable.
In the end, Bailu firmly ordered him to lie back down and undergo further examinations in case he had any other conditions.
Jing Yuan, meanwhile, led Fu Mo and the others out of the ward and found an empty room in the clinic.
“Fu Mo, thank you for your help.
The Luofu will always remember this debt.
If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask!”
After inviting Fu Mo and the others to sit, Jing Yuan immediately expressed his gratitude.
Fu Mo nodded without refusing.
After all, this was one of the reasons he had intervened.
“You’re too courteous, General, but I can’t think of anything I need right now.”
As for materials, Fu Mo intended to obtain them himself as long as they weren’t too expensive or rare.
There was no need to waste this favor.
Besides, Tingyun was still waiting to trade with him.
Once he had money, ordinary items would be incredibly easy to obtain.
Jing Yuan responded with a smile and a nod. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
“There’s no rush.
You can always tell me once you’ve decided.
How about this?
Since you’ve come from elsewhere and are currently staying at an inn without a permanent residence, why don’t I have someone arrange a place for you?
Qingque can also show you around the Luofu over the next few days, allowing us to fulfill our duties as hosts.
What do you think?”
The moment Jing Yuan said this, Fu Xuan, who was sitting nearby, immediately looked over.
She saw through his little scheme at a glance.
Wasn’t he planning to keep Fu Mo on the Luofu first, slowly build a closer relationship with him, and ultimately recruit him?
General, your heart is truly filthy!
Fu Mo thought it over.
He did need a stable environment in which to develop, and the Luofu was the place he knew best right now.
He might as well settle here for the time being.
Once he became strong enough, it wouldn’t be too late to embark on grand adventures across other planets.
“All right.
Then I’ll be imposing on everyone for a while.”
“Haha, nothing would please us more.”
That evening, after having dinner with Jing Yuan and the others, Fu Mo returned to his guest room.
It would take some time to find the residence Jing Yuan had mentioned, so he would have to continue staying at the inn for now.
As soon as Fu Mo entered his room, he dropped onto the sofa and sighed toward the ceiling.
“Man, this is the first time I’ve ever felt Minecraft was so grindy.
When I was playing the game, I could speedrun it in an hour or two, but now that it’s reality, traveling alone takes most of the day…
Still, I gained plenty.”
Setting aside the favor the Luofu owed him, his work over the past two days had already yielded a substantial reward.
Even after deducting the 50 Achievement Points he had spent on Vein Miner, he still had 140 Achievement Points left!
That was enough to buy one or two MODs!
Fu Mo excitedly opened the Mod Shop and began searching for useful MODs.
“Let’s see…
Map Mod, JEI Item Management Mod…
These look good.
Wait…
This MOD…”
Fu Mo’s gaze suddenly locked onto one particular MOD and could no longer move away.
