Chapter 6: Mistletoe

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the tree.

After cutting off a large tuft of ‘vines’, the tribe elder quickly walked to a stone pot on a large bonfire beside the platform.

The water in the pot was boiling and there were various unknown herbs inside.

The tribe elder casually threw the ‘vines’ he had in his hand into the pot. Then, he picked up the tamping bar at the side and started to stir within the pot.

A bright half-moon had already appeared above the rainforest.

The rainforest was so quiet that only the sound of insects could be heard.

The herbal concoction in the stone pot was boiling, and countless people were waiting quietly on the gravel path.

In the end, it only took around five minutes.

The tribe elder took his staff from a person beside him and immediately gave instructions excitedly to the crowd.

“Oh! Grah!”

Cheers ensued.

Everyone’s faces were brimming with joy.

They began to pick up the clay bowls beside them. Under the illumination of dozens of bonfires, they lined up orderly and walked towards the ritual platform.

With that, the ‘sacred medicine’ brewed by the tribe elder was distributed.

——————.

“How interesting! This tribe is interesting.”

In his room, Ji Yu stretched his back against the chair.

Today’s game time was up. The moment he went offline, he started searching for information on his laptop.

Mistletoe.

It had the effect of relaxing muscles, facilitating blood circulation and healing bruises.

It was used for muscle pains, cramps, back aches, and bruises.

It could also nourish the liver and kidney, strengthen muscles and bones, relieve rheumatism, and prevent miscarriages.

Moreover, the extract can improve microcirculation, and its alkaloids even had an anti-tumor effect.

After reading this information, Ji Yu was beyond amazed.

“It’s so farfetched. Is there such an all-encompassing thing in this world? This is against the rules!”

The information of mistletoe on the web page was mostly completed, and the pictures were identical to those Ji Yu saw on the oak tree.

There was a lot of information about mistletoe.

It had deep cultural roots.

It also held a special connotation in the language used by various countries in West York and was generally worshipped as a sacred item by sects in the world.

“Brilliant!”

Ji Yu could not help but praise. At the same time, he thought of something else.

“Did the mistletoe on the oak tree mutate after being digitized by the game? Will its effect become stronger?”

At this moment, Ji Yu’s face revealed a contemplative look, before it quickly changed into an amused expression.

“If the mistletoe is that good, with the oak tree’s location at the tribe, my manifestation’s safety wouldn’t get compromised. At least it won’t be chopped down, right?”

Recalling the scene of those ‘outsiders’ each equipped with a firearm, Ji Yu could not imagine any other forces that would attack this oak tree tribe without considering the cost.

And if the tribe wanted to hide it, outsiders would not even be able to know about the wonders of the oak tree manifestation, right?

In short, Ji Yu’s mood turned for the better since there was no need to worry about the safety of the oak tree in the short term.

As long as he could safely survive the first month, Ji Yu believed that his tuberculosis ridden body would recover completely or become even better.

By the second month when he had his second manifestation, Ji Yu would no longer have to place all his hopes on the special characteristics of the oak tree.

With regards to that, Ji Yu’s hopes for the future became even better.

In a good mood, Ji Yu went downstairs to buy breakfast at 9.00 am after he finished his research online.

The weather in Dancing Sun City was pretty good today. When he woke up in the morning, the sun was already shining beautifully in the sky.

“It feels so good to not experience any shortness of breath and chest pains!”

Ji Yu exhaled deeply in relief as he walked out of the entrance of the district.

After walking for a few dozen steps, he arrived at a familiar breakfast stall across the neighborhood.

“Boss, two meat buns and a portion of vegetables and porridge for takeaway please.”

“Sure, coming right up. Please wait a moment.”

“Okay.”

Ji Yu smiled and nodded. He then found a seat and sat down.

Because of his tuberculosis, Ji Yu wore a mask, and didn’t plan to eat in the stall.

Although he was no longer suffering from hemoptysis and was getting better, there was still a risk of it being infectious.

No one knew if his immune system had killed all the bacteria while it was strengthening.

Therefore, carrying the mindset of not wanting to infect anyone, Ji Yu would definitely choose takeaway to avoid people.

After all, in a tiny open-air stall like this, the cutlery used had definitely not been disinfected at a high temperature.

Many people came to buy breakfast at the stall. While waiting, Ji Yu casually scrolled through his phone.

Coincidentally, at that moment, someone sent him a message.

“Ji Yu, are you feeling better?”

Looking at the message and the familiar ID, Ji Yu was stunned. He smiled and replied quickly.

“I’m much better now. At least I’m not vomiting blood everywhere whenever I open my mouth…”

“…”

The person who sent the message was a receptionist from Ji Yu’s former company. Her relationship with Ji Yu was neither overly familiar nor distant.

Of course, that was only from Ji Yu’s point of view. The feelings the other party held might be more than that.

His former company was a renovation company so there were very few young people.

With limited choices, the receptionist girl naturally took the initiative to woo Ji Yu, who was considered quite handsome and held some potential as a budget clerk.

Although it is commonly said that it was easier for women to woo men, there were too many other variables involved in reality.

To put it simply, Ji Yu felt that the girl’s personality and appearance did not suit his tastes.

Recalling the various things that happened in the company, Ji Yu felt a little melancholic.

Ji Yu still remembered everyone’s panic when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis during the company’s routine checkup. He could not help but feel a little upset at that.

Everyone treated Ji Yu like he was a plague.

Although this description was a little exaggerated, it was the truth. Although some of the colleagues who he was on good terms with tried not to show their disdain on their faces, Ji Yu could tell from their actions, words and expressions that they were not sincere.

Ji Yu did not bear grudges for that. Who asked him to have such a disease?

He just felt that the fickleness of human nature was too real and cruel.

After the checkup, Ji Yu took the initiative to resign, and his boss kindly gave him a year’s salary.

Regarding that, Ji Yu did not act lofty and accepted his boss’s good intentions.

He would have no income during the quarantine period for tuberculosis. This extra year worth of salary would alleviate most of his difficulties.

If that was the case, why would he try to be pretentious and reject it?

Tuberculosis was not an occupational disease so he couldn’t apply for work-related injury leave. Based on that point, which do you think Ji Yu should choose?

Facing reality was the most logical choice.

After chatting with the receptionist for a while, Ji Yu hurriedly ended the conversation. He took the breakfast the stall owner had packed and walked towards the riverside park.

Ji Yu planned to finish his breakfast at the riverside park before taking a small jog along the park’s path to relax his body.
