“Seeds?”

Mu You clicked on the text and took out two things.

The pitcher plant bulb looked like a lotus pod, but it was somewhat disgusting as there was a round eye growing on the bulb that was constantly moving about, as if it was surveying the new world.

Upon looking at the text explanation again, he realized that this bulb was just the concentrated remains of the pitcher plant’s body, like fruit flesh, that could be eaten to satisfy hunger and thirst…

Mu You was sure he wouldn’t be able to stomach this…

um, he’ll just feed it to Little Spider later…

Putting the bulb away, Mu You looked towards the ‘pitcher plant seed’.

Upon clicking the text, three green seeds shaped like melon seeds appeared in his hand.

Mu You held them up and examined them, but didn’t find anything unusual.

“Do I need to find a place to plant these?” Mu You was somewhat curious.

However, there was a problem.

Whatever grew from it seemed to attack everything indiscriminately.

It seemed a tad excessive to grow this as a house guard.

Or perhaps, plant these in enemy territory to cause havoc?

Mu You thought about it for a while, but couldn’t think of a better use for the moment.

“Oh well, I’ll just hold onto it for now.”

Mu You pocketed the seeds and continued the game.

[A monster was blocking your way, you defeated it and were about to go uphill.

Suddenly you see at the foot of the mountain in front of you, a thatched cottage standing there.

An old woman with a crutch stood at the door of the cottage, waving at you as if she had something to ask.

Do you want to approach and investigate?]

There were two options: yes, no.

In this deep, wild forest, still at four or five in the morning, an old woman is standing at the gate shouting for people?

This scene was a bit eerie…

But Mu You still went to have a look, in case he could trigger some type of event.

[The old woman was delighted to see you.

She introduced herself as a native farmer, one of the few families at the foot of Foggy Mountain.

She has a medicinal plant gatherer for a grandson.

However, her grandson didn’t return from Mushroom Mountain after a trip to gather herbs a month ago.]

[The old woman had just been awoken by the thunder of your Battle Eagle.

When she saw you apparently heading uphill, she wanted to ask if you could help find her grandson after going up the mountain.

If you could bring back news of her grandson, she would reward you handsomely.]

[Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden task ‘Old Farmer’s commission’.]

[Task content: Go up the mountain and find information about the old woman’s grandson, the ‘Medicinal Plant Gatherer’, and report back to the old woman.

Task reward: unknown.

Task time limit: unlimited.]

[Do you accept?]

“Oh?”

Mu You was surprised.

He actually triggered a task.

This old lady should be a genuine NPC.

He had never seen a player able to issue tasks.

“Accept.”

He was going up the mountain anyway, so he might as well accept it along the way.

There was no loss in completing this task and there’d be a reward if he did.

It’s a win-win situation.

[Leaving the thatched cottage, you continue to climb up the narrow mountain path.]

[You see a Poisonous Ball Grass (Level 8) blocking the way on the mountain path in front of you.

This is a plant that spits corrosive poison.

Its poison sac is filled with poison, so be careful when you encounter it.]

[Instead of talking, you pull out your arrow and shoot, hitting the eyeball of the Poison Ball Grass!]

[The Poisonous Ball Grass spits out a mouthful of poisonous fluid at you from afar.

As your agility value is not enough, you can’t dodge it and were sprinkled with the poisonous fluid.]

[You were poisoned to death by the eyeball grass…]

“Damn it, rewind!”

[The flow of time turns, you chose to hide far away and command the Battle Eagle to attack.

The Battle Eagle threw down three bolts of lightning, turning the Poisonous Ball Grass into ashes!]

[With the help of the Battle Eagle, you have killed the Eyeball Grass.

Lifespan+1, Experience+8.

Acquired poison sac*1.]

“Battle Eagle is awesome!”

[You continue forward and see a five-meter-high Thorny Vine Tree-person (Level 10) disguised amongst other trees, taking a nap.

This is a creature of neutral temperament, perhaps you could try to make friends with it.]

[You choose to approach the Tree-man and greet it.

The Tree-man rolled over and turned you into a kebab with its tree fork…]

“…”

[The flow of time turns, you chose to launch an attack towards the Thorny Vine tree-man!]

[With the cooperation of the Battle Eagle, the Tree-man was quickly electrocuted into charcoal.]

[You killed the Thorny Vine Tree-man, lifespan+1, experience+10.

Acquired living timber*1.]

“Battle Eagle is invincible!”

[You walked into Maple Forest and a wild cat (Level 11) suddenly crawled out of a tree hole in front of you!]

[With the help of the Battle Eagle, you killed the wild cat, lifespan+1 and experience+11.

You also found Catmint*3 from its nest.]

“Battle Eagle 666!”

…

All the way up, Mu You recklessly provoked everything he came across knowing that he could rewind time.

When he couldn’t win, he’d call out the Battle Eagle.

However, he was incapable of defeating any of them…

The average level of the demons on the mountain was much higher than those near the village.

The lowest level he had encountered so far was Level 8.

As for plant-like magical beasts, they couldn’t move, but once one enters their attack range, they have combat power stronger than that of regular magical beasts at the same level.

This scenario was the Battle Eagle’s time to shine.

Along the way, Mu You realized he was totally turned into a sidekick, constantly shouting ‘Battle Eagle, fighting!’ from behind, while the invincible Battle Eagle helped him clear all obstacles on the road.

Having killed seven or eight monsters along the way, he got a pile of all sorts of materials and his experience increased.

He was not far from Level 7 and after all this accumulation, he quickly exceeded the upper limit of Level 6 and reached 164/160.

Without hesitation, Mu You leveled up.

After some enhancements, he advanced to Level 7. freeweɓnovel.cøm

All attributes +1, plus 5 points of free attributes.

Adding the remaining point, he had a total of 6 points to distribute.

His current attributes were: Strength 8, Agility 15, Intelligence 22, Constitution 7.

In order to maintain the three-dimensional attributes ratio of 1:2:3, Mu You assigned 1 point to his agility, 2 points to his intelligence, and kept the other 3 free points for next time.

After adjusting his attributes, Mu You looked at his energy.

Today’s energy was 2/11, enough to make a few more moves.

Mu You planned to quickly use up all the energy and then go home to sleep.

However, at this moment, the Pumpkin Lantern, which hadn’t made a sound in a long time, suddenly gave him a pleasant surprise.

[Pumpkin Lamp special effect, triggered!]

[While you were passing by a cliff, the Pumpkin Lantern shone ahead, seeming to illuminate footprints near the edge of the cliff.

Want to check it out right away?]

“Check it out!”

[You carefully went near the edge of the cliff and found that some of the soil on the stone wall under the cliff had been disturbed.

You analyzed the footprints at the scene, and it seemed that a medicinal plant should have grown on the cliff wall.

These footprints could have been left by a medicinal plant gatherer who was gathering this plant and accidentally fell off the cliff.]

Medicinal Plant Gatherer?

Mu You was taken aback.

Could it be the one that the task was about?

So this person went out to gather herbs, unintentionally slipped and fell off the cliff, and lost his life?

However, generally speaking, even if you die once in the Star Spirit World, you only lose a bit of lifespan, and you can resurrect.

How could he not have gone back yet after a month?
