Chapter 31: Extraordinary System

“For each existing Extraordinary Creature, there’s an alienated organ in their body.”

As Meng Yang and the players were in a stupefied state, Lady Hera, who did not always have the strongest presence, thrust her way through the crowd and walked in front of Phoenix. Then, she took the glowing red heart from her hands. 

“Can you give us a detailed explanation, beautiful lady?” A lively player opened his mouth and asked. 

“Yeah, Lady Hera. Please give us an answer,” Liu Chuanfeng said. He had a bad impression of Meng Yang, the protagonist that issued the mission. However, he had an extremely favorable attitude toward Hera, the NPC who helped to heal him. 

“What’s it good for?” A few amongst the players asked the same question.

Everyone knew that these NPCs were quite intelligent, and so, they had a good impression toward them. Hence, the words they uttered were not at all in a malicious tone; rather, it was asked in a much more courteous manner.

“The heart of the advanced Extraordinary Creature gnoll would be the best main material in making magical potions.” Hera noticed that everyone had turned their attention toward her. Even so, she did not seem to be nervous, and she merely gently smiled as she explained to the players.

“Magical potions?”

“What’s a magical potion?”

The discussion among the players was growing louder.

The eyes of Xu Zhe and Sun Shuai, who were more mindful of the game’s various details, were shining as though they had encountered a new element in this virtual online game. 

“The potion will enable mortals to awaken Extraordinary Seeds and obtain special abilities, such as…” Hera held onto the red heart and gently drew a circle in the air with the other hand. Then, a green light lit up and landed on a player lying on the ground with a wound in his arm. In front of everyone’s eyes, the wound on the player’s arm began to close up and formed a scab before becoming bright and as new as before. 

“Wow, f*ck!”

“That’s… That’s such a great item!”

Many of the players suddenly spat out foul phrases. 

Quite a lot of them had seen the amazing battle scene between Phoenix and the gnoll leader before, and they had also noticed Hera’s stars of green lights that aided in driving off the dizziness caused by the gnoll leader’s screams. However, they still could not help from gasping aloud when seeing it up close. 

“Perhaps the game’s background is based on Cthulhu mythology? This might be a magical potion advancement sequence.”

“It doesn’t feel like it. It’s more of a doomsday setup!”

“Judging from the NPC’s words, could we learn skills and change professions by taking the potion?”

“Healing power would be great. With this kind of power, even if you’re in a boss fight, you’ll definitely be able to skip out on some resurrection time.”

“I don’t care what it is so long as they give us skills and equipment. I’m not willing to go into combat with bare hands anymore. It’s too hurtful for my image.”

“Hurtful for image +1.”

“F*ck off, ugly.”

…

A loud discussion followed suit, and many of the player’s questions started popping out one after another.

This was especially the case for players like Xu Zhe, Sun Shuai, Zhuang Dafa, and Liu Chuanfeng, that had entered the game for the second time. During both times, they had to fight monsters as soon as they logged into the game. Therefore, they were still completely confused about the skill backgrounds of the game. Now they were just itching to hear about everything the beginning.

“Pipe down!”

As the players were making a ruckus, a cold clear voice suppressed the clamor. 

Phoenix, who had recovered from her injury, slipped the short dagger in her hand back onto her waist before walking into the crowd. She suddenly pointed at Liu Chuanfeng, who had been laughing and joking around, “You, come here!”

“Huh? Are you calling out to me?”

Liu Chuanfeng was taken aback for a moment and pointed his finger at himself. After getting Phoenix’s confirmation, although he was confused as to what Phoenix wanted him to do, he recalled how he had blocked an ax for this NPC. The favorability could give him a best friend status with her, so he instantly ran and stood behind Phoenix.

Phoenix looked at Liu Chuanfeng, who was standing behind her and did not pay much attention to the other person any longer. Instead, her gaze swept across all the players, pausing for a moment when it landed on Meng Yang.

She remembered that Meng Yang had once told her about playing the role of a trainer. Suddenly, she started to talk slowly, “Other than using the magic potion method to awaken the Extraordinary Seed; I’ll also pick some among you to teach the training method for awakening the Extraordinary Seed. Whether you can successfully awaken the Extraordinary Seed and gain extraordinary power depends entirely on your wit, aptitude, and perseverance.”

As soon as Phoenix’s voice fell, the group of players burst into life once more.

“Can we learn skills now?”

“I think it’s not a skill, but merely a training.”

“Is the choice between drinking some drug or bitter cultivation?”

“It sounds quite interesting.”

“I wanna learn how to shoot from the goddess. If I can’t learn how to use the bow, frontal combat is fine as well. The goddess’ melee combat was awesome!”

“The degree of freedom for the system is too high. What exactly is the Extraordinary Seed?”

One discussion after another sprung up, such that even Meng Yang’s eyes ignited at this moment.

“I’ll have to ask Pheonix or Hera later on as I’m still the camp leader, or else the players might grow superior to me. In the worst-case scenario, one of them might take things too literally and decapitate me instead.”

Compared to many of the players present, Meng Yang was currently also a weak chicken. Moreover, owing to the fact that he did not know whether or not he would be resurrected after death, his combat power was not even on par with that of ordinary players.

Seeing the excited gazes of the players and the chaotic scenes around him, Meng Yang prepared himself to step forth and ask everyone to return to the gathering spot inside the fortress.

The stench emitting from the gnolls’ corpses Was thick, and even if the players could bear it; he could not.

He could also take this opportunity to learn more about the Extraordinary System of this world from Phoenix and Hera. Otherwise, he would continuously lose out in terms of information to the players, and it could cause trouble if he were to issue a mission in the future. 

“Ahem…”

Meng Yang let out a light cough and was about to continue his act using his soulful aria tone. Suddenly, he noticed Phoenix’s change of expression as she grabbed onto her bow and arrow. Immediately afterward, Meng Yang felt something speed by behind him.

Meng Yang hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a massive beast with a shoulder height of more than two meters abruptly jumped out from amidst the darkness.

“It’s a saw-toothed tiger!” Meng Yang’s pupils shrank in fear, He recognized that this behemoth was the saw-toothed tiger that raided the camp last night.

As soon as the saw-toothed tiger landed, its movements were quick as it opened its mouth wide. With a single bite, it grabbed onto the flesh-filled Zhuang Dafa.

There were players everywhere, as well as gnolls’ corpses, but Zhuang Dafa was the closest to the saw-toothed tiger. His fat body was particularly attractive to these monsters.

With a single bite, Zhuang Dafa turned into ashes in its mouth.

The saw-toothed tiger shook its massive head and was a little confused for a while.

Boom boom——

Two bowstring vibrations were heard.

Phoenix had taken this opportunity to shoot two arrows at the saw-toothed tiger. The target of the arrows was the beast’s eyes.

The saw-toothed tiger sensed the impending threat and immediately turned to evade the shots, such that the arrow merely struck its rough skin.

“Dafa!”

“F*ck, the huge tiger killed one of our mates!”

“F*ck it up!”

The players, who were only just taking a break, saw Zhuang Dafa being killed by the saw-toothed tiger and their emotions were instantly stirred up once more.

Some of them even yelled toward Phoenix and Hera as they asked, “Beautiful ladies, is this beast an Extraordinary Creature? Is there anything on it that could be synthesized into magical potions?”

“Need you ask? Of course, it’s on that tiger’s thingy!”

“Scram!”

Amidst the shouts of several players, Hera stood behind the crowd and replied indifferently, “The saw-toothed tiger is also a first-order Extraordinary Creature. Its heart and spinal cord are the main materials used to synthesize a type of potion.”

“Wahaha, come on!”

“It has something of value!”

Once the players heard these words, they immediately became excited again.

After the previous war with the gnolls, everyone was unafraid to face a behemoth like the saw-toothed tiger.

However, Meng Yang, who was standing amongst the players, quietly moved a few steps to the back, and his expression turned tense once more.

Meng Yang looked at the extremely excited players, but was desperately praying that they would not fight. He was not ready to release the mission.

After the saw-toothed tiger killed Zhuang Dafa, he was suddenly notified by the Summoning Pixie that Zhuang Dafa was not resurrected.

The magic crystals that powered the summoning circle had been exhausted. This was despite the fact that Phoenix had provided him with a good amount of crystals. At the time, Meng Yang felt that it would be okay to summon hundreds of thousands of people. However, he slowly realized that even if he had a lot of crystals, it could not bear the weight of consumption by these players that treated death as a plaything.
