A sharp pain shot up from beneath their feet. Sunk into the poison pool, their bodies were covered in a sickly green. In moments, a massive damage number appeared above their heads, and they collapsed to the ground.
Poisoned to death.
Chu Fu was stunned.
System notifications flooded in.
[You have killed Star's Small Shield. Sin value +100.]
[You have killed Star's Cure. Sin value +100.]
[You have killed Only Love Yixing. Sin value +100.]
[You have killed Mia. Sin value +100.]
[You have killed Falling Star. Sin value +100.]
It filled the screen.
She had killed forty-two people in one go.
Their bodies lay within the fifty-meter-diameter poison pool.
Chu Fu’s sin value instantly increased by 4,200.
She was shaking with anger!
She had finally managed to clear her sin value by saving two ruined villages.
And yet, people still came charging in to get themselves killed!
The members of Star Alliance were also shocked. They never imagined that after Chu Fu killed the boss, she would go on to kill their people as well.
“You! Plantman, you’ve gone too far! Didn’t you say fair competition? Why are you still killing people!”
This time, Chu Fu was truly innocent!
In fact, she felt that these fans of Jiang Yixing were truly different from the people at Longhan Studio.
These fans hadn’t taken money from Longhan Studio. They were just brainwashed by Jiang Yixing, tricked by his skills.
So Chu Fu had no intention of attacking them!
She distinguished between grievances and didn’t involve the innocent. Besides, these players were really young—some looked even younger than Chu Fu.
Who would have thought that, even though she didn’t plan to kill anyone, these people would just stumble into her skills?
“How can you blame me for this? They stepped into it themselves. Fine, I’ll call our healer to stitch you all up and revive you!”
“Be careful next time and don’t step in again. If you die again, it’ll cost you!”
Chu Fu called for Suture Saint.
At the same time, she canceled the poison pool.
The massive pool gradually reverted to its original state as the spell was dismissed.
But the corpses that had died in the pool were still tinged with green.
“Boo-hoo, Xingxing has turned green! So tragic!”
“Bring them back quickly. The beast tide is coming soon.”
The forty-two green-tinged corpses were hastily brought back by members of Star Alliance, along with their equipment.
Suture Saint only arrived belatedly after killing two bosses.
Seeing Jiang Yixing’s poisoned corpse, a hint of amusement flickered in her cold eyes. The corners of her lips were held back, but her gloating was impossible to hide.
She really wanted to laugh!
‘You said I was useless, and now look—I’m the one you need.’
Suture Saint activated her stitching skill.
This time, she had a massive outburst. The ethereal image of over fifty hands appeared simultaneously, and countless threads and needles danced through the air, resurrecting all forty-two bodies at once.
Mass resurrection!
That was incredibly powerful.
It was the kind of skill that could turn the tide of battle.
Even though the members of Star Alliance had originally come not to play the game but to chase a star, after seeing Suture Saint’s feat, they could no longer say she wasn’t as strong as Jiang Yixing.
No wonder she could follow a top-tier player!
She was amazing.
Jiang Yixing’s eyes snapped open. He had really thought he would have to delete his account and start over—his SS-grade talent!
At that moment, he really wanted to curse out loud, completely abandoning his celebrity image.
He had thought about Suture Saint’s resurrection skill and wondered what price it would take to get her to help. He never expected Chu Fu to tell Suture Saint to revive them for free!
Hmph. A little girl. She was still charmed by him after all.
“Xingxing, are you okay? Did it hurt?”
“Xingxing, I brought back your equipment!”
“Xingxing, that Plantman is way too ruthless. Don’t be mad—you don’t even look handsome when you’re angry!”
Jiang Yixing’s private messages exploded.
[Mia]: Enchantment, quick, use your skill! Your beauty filter is gone!
Jiang Yixing suddenly snapped back to reality. He raised his hand and gently wiped his face, then immediately activated his talent skill!
Soon, he became handsome again, with an air of shattered romance, since he had just been killed.
“I’m fine, I’m just a little sad. It was my mistake to give that order. But this Plantman’s skill range is just too big—we really can’t compete with that. So for the next wave, we’ll go grab the monsters at the West Gate!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This Plantman’s skills were terrifying. The starting area alone had an eighty-meter diameter—that was about half the size of a school playground.
The spreading poison was even scarier; it cleared the whole field.
And the boss-killing move had such a massive area that there was no way to get close.
“But Xingxing, the next wave has flying monsters. I’m afraid we won’t be able to grab those either.”
Jiang Yixing gritted his molars.
“Then we’ll go for the last wave!”
His fans finally nodded, and the group marched off toward the West Gate.
The ninth wave of monsters descended!
The players of Thorn Guild all had flight wings and soared into the sky to clear the monsters, letting their bodies fall to the ground.
The coins and equipment that hit the ground were swept up by a massive mech.
Not a single corpse was left for Star Alliance.
Jiang Yixing endured it.
Finally, the tenth wave arrived.
East Gate: Wyvern, Python King.
West Gate: Crocodile King, Hammer Ape King.
Familiar bosses, familiar formations.
Not only that, but among the beast horde, six black wolves with their heads down and bodies lowered to stay out of sight let out low growls.
“Ow-ow-ow!”
They growled at each other, and while humans couldn’t understand, they could.
“Damn it! What a scam! Taking this gold mask forces you into a mission, or else that werewolf Tu Ge will kill you.”
“Who knew this Plantman would be so nosy, coming here to play defense. If not for her, I would have destroyed the village, taken the gold mask, and even gotten rewards from killing more NPCs. Now it’s all ruined!”
“It’s all that Plantman’s fault, and that streamer’s too. What’s he doing? Now the studio has ordered everyone not to grab gold masks by killing. Such a good item, and I can’t take it! Frustrating!”
“The trend has turned. Maybe from now on, all servers will start protecting villages. Werewolves won’t survive.”
“Damn it, werewolves are hunted by everyone. This game isn’t Werewolf—what’s wrong with playing the evil faction?”
Amid their complaints, these players were caught in Chu Fu’s Plague Spread. They didn’t even have time to scream before they died.
As hostiles, they wouldn’t be resurrected. Their corpses would remain for 24 hours, and then they could create new characters.
At the village’s western front, Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao single-handedly pulled two bosses, and their health bars dropped rapidly.
“Get ready to grab the monster. Warrior types with big ultimate skills, get up! Archers and mages, prepare too!”
Jiang Yixing gave the command.
The moment he spoke, a blinding holy light suddenly enveloped everyone.
After the dazzling white light, his vision turned black and white. He entered a soul state, looking at the world from a strange perspective.
That perspective wasn’t great, but he could see the blindfolded swordsman—who had been acting cool the whole time—let out a disgusted shout.
“Are you doing this on purpose just to frame us?”
