Chapter 1708 - Potbellied Monster

Now that Lu Li had mobilised everyone, people immediately began to bring out their trump cards.

“Last time when I was strolling in the exchange hall, I saw this potion and was planning to use in the in a later critical stage, but I want to give it to Breezy. Hopefullym he can resist a while longer with it,” one team member offered as he brought out his own personal collection of potions.

“Wow, this is so good! How much did you get it for?”

Even Azure Sea Breeze who was used to luxury items complimented it.

Azure Sea Breeze didn’t keep people in suspense and sent it to the team channel straight away.

This was a bottle that added 20 to all attributes – 20 to all Defense, 20 to all Resistance, movement speed…

Lu Li glanced at the instructions and found there was over a dozen things, even the obscure Attributes such as 20 anti-throwing, 20 high jump…

What was even more ridiculous was that the potion’s effects would be sustained for a full 20 hours!

No. 21 Potion – what a simple name.

Its creator, Roland, was a master apothecarist. Any apothecarist who had read medicinal books in the library would have heard of his name.

He was a Troll apothecarist, who over his long life had seen countless herbs.

“20 Gold coins.”

The person who presented this potion was a bit shy.

“Are you sure it’s not 2000 or 20,000 gold coins? Only an idiot would sell it for 20 gold coins!”

They were all elite players so of course they knew how rare this medicine was.

Twenty points were not a lot, but they would be added to all Attributes.

“I have three teleport scrolls and two revival scrolls. These are the last of my stash,” Little Hachi Chan offered, unable to sit aside anymore.

“Does this count as officials helping us cheat?”

If there Hachi Chan was exposed as the Dawn gaming company’s treasure, then a lot of people would choose to believe it. After all, these five scrolls were more valuable than that potion.

“I have a pet that can give Natural Resistance to everyone,” Remnant Dream said.

“…” Everyone stared at her, speechless.

They felt an impulse to bury this fool in a pit. Why did she only speak now if she had such a valuable thing?! The reason why people kept dying was precisely because they needed this bit of Natural Resistance.

“He’s a little ugly and scary…”

If Remnant Dream explained herself, then she wouldn’t be beaten to death, right?

Nevertheless, this did pique everyone’s curiosity. For such a sweet girl to label it as ugly, it must have been truly hideous.

“See, you guys! This is what it looks like!”

Remnant Dream put away her original pet and called another one.

Hence, a potbellied monster appeared in everyone’s vision.

Kitty Likes Meat stepped back. She finally understood Remnant Dream’s feelings. If she had a pet that looked like this, she would either hide it away so no one could ever see or just kill it straight away.

“It used to be a cute Oozeling…”

Remnant Dream was nearly in tears.

Even though everyone didn’t know why Oozelings were considered cute, in order to care for her feelings, they expressed surprise and approval.

“So, because it’s transformed into a potbellied-shape, it can only provide people with natural resistance?”

Lu Li had never heard of this before, but he knew that monsters could morph.

A majority people who had pets fed them ordinary meat, fish, fruit or grass.

These foods could increase the pet’s satisfaction levels, and increase a degree of loyalty. However, if you wanted them to develop further, then this was simply not enough.

Remnant Dream was a little rich lady. If it weren’t for her pets, she would be on the list of Dawn’s wealthiest players.

Wealth lists were not determined solely by money. If a person bought a lot of gold coins from someone else, then no matter how much they had, they wouldn’t be recognized on the list. Only through earning money by your own hands could you achieve this.

However, Remnant Dream had been in a long state of poverty. Sometimes, she couldn’t even afford potions.

All the money she earned was spent buying food for her pets. Of course, all this money wasn’t spent on just ordinary food. The food menus for her pets at home were all luxurious.

There were a few mercenary groups who specialised in her business and brought whatever her pets ate.

At first, some people tried to scam her, but then Her Tears came to know about this.

“How are there people who would cheat Remnant Dream?! She’s already this spaced out! That’s just sick! I need to teach them a lesson!”

In the end, he brought a number of PVP players to teach the mercenary group a lesson. They were unable to conduct business for 2 weeks.

From then on, no one dared to bully Remnant Dream. Word on the street was that to upset Remnant Dream meant being hunted by all the elite players.

Of course, to mess with Little Hachi Chan was to have many NPCs hate you to the point of being attacked by them, so she was equally unaffordable to offend.

“It’s all Hachi Chan’s fault! I don’t know what she fed my little softie, but it became fat and the colour changed to this. So, can you see why I can’t let it out?!” Remnant Dream cried out. She was considering unfriending Hachi Chan.

“I…I didn’t know this would happen! My dragon loved to eat this type of fruit, and it was okay.”

Little Hachi Chan didn’t want to carry the responsibility.

“Waaaaah… My little softie was originally the same-coloured green as your dragon. Now it’s this yellow colour. How dare you say it’s got nothing to do with you! I want you to compensate me… with gold coins!” Remnant Dream burst out in tears as she threw her pet onto the ground.

Lu Li had a headache.

“That’s enough you two. What skills does this potbelly have?”

“Originally it had three skills, and now there’s one more – a natural hug,” Remnant Dream sniffed as she wiped away her tears and happily took the gold coins from Little Hachi Chan.

“Natural hug…”

Lu Li suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

“As long as everyone hugs my little softie for ten seconds, they will gain 30 points of Natural Resistance,” Remnant Dream explained, then demonstrated by hugging the yellow pile.

The players’ faces looked uneasy, but they didn’t want to give up the 30 points of resistance.

The previous potion only provided 20 points of Natural Resistance, while this one hug could give them 30 points alone. At present, the best Natural Resistance equipment added 50 points.

“It’s really just a matter of 10 seconds.”

No one else moved, so Lu Li had no choice but to be proactive first.

Azure Sea Breeze was a douche usually, but was he understood the principles in a critical situation and followed suit.

“Speed is everything. We can get the gain status in just 10 seconds. We have 40 people, so that’s a lot of people to go through…”

The third person who came up was naturally Little Hachi Chan. She was probably already used to this Oozeling.

Other people had also overcome their psychological barriers as they grabbed the Oozeling one after the other.

It seemed like a waste of time to devote that much time to just 30 points of Natural Resistance.

Azure Sea Breeze gained 50 points of Natural Resistance in total, while the others gained 30.

However, Remnant Dream couldn’t put the monster away. Once it was kept away, everyone would lose the status immediately.

Luckily, even if the potbellied monster died, they would remain unaffected. Otherwise, they would have to guarantee the survival of the monster. This potbellied monster was considered a magic pet before it changed from an Oozeling. Its main attack was spitting. After its transformation, the first three skills underwent a degree of damage enhancement.

Plus, its magic resistance was incredibly high, so it was unlikely to die before Remnant Dream.
