He didn’t know what had happened to her for her to be poisoned, but it seemed that this story was much deeper than he had thought.
Still, for now, what he had to do for her was take care of the poison.
Lin Fan focused on the poisoned status that was on her status screen and another screen popped up.
This was a function that Lin Fan had only discovered recently, but there was no doubt about how amazing this function was.
As long as he focused on a part of the description that came up with his Appraisal Eyes, he was able to further analyze them with his Appraisal Eyes. Of course, that didn’t work on every part of the descriptions, only certain parts that had more information to give.
However, when he focused on the poisoned status, he was able to bring out another screen that told him what kind of poison she was inflicted with and how long this poison had been in her. As well, it also analyzed her condition and what kind of treatment would be best for her.
As he analyzed the poison, Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief when he saw what kind of poison it was.
It wasn’t a kind of poison that was very rare, rather it was quite the common type of poison. As long as she received the antidote for it, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to recover.
So once he had figured out what kind of poison she was afflicted with, Lin Fan opened up the store of the Dungeon Master System to look for the cure.
As he was doing so, Rokuko was complaining inside his mind about using their few precious DP on saving this woman, but Lin Fan completely ignored her.
However, after opening up the store, Lin Fan also realized that he had made a mistake.
He already knew what kind of antidote he needed, but he wasn’t able to find that antidote in the store at all. Instead, the store had a bunch of antidotes that were made of herbs that he had never heard of.
But he quickly realized why he had never heard of them before…
The Dungeon Master System was from a magic based world and the poison that Xiao Yi’s mother had been inflicted with was from a cultivation based world. Naturally, they wouldn’t correspond with each other since they were from two worlds that had developed on different power systems.
While Lin Fan was sure that he would be able to cure Xiao Yi’s mother with the antidotes from the magic based system, he wasn’t sure which one would be able to do it. Like Rokuko mentioned, they only had limited DP and he didn’t want to waste too much of it trying with the different antidotes that he had.
But it wasn’t as if he could just leave her to die…
However, when he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something.
That was right, his system also gave him a store!
He had completely forgotten about this even though he still did the daily missions, but he had never used the points that he received from the daily missions in the store once because he never needed to buy anything from the store. So he had completely forgotten that he had this store until just a moment ago when he was trying to think of a solution.
His system’s store should have the antidote that he needed!
So he quickly opened up his system’s store and as expected, the antidote that his Appraisal Eyes had recommended was there. Not to mention that this antidote was quite cheap, only costing him five points, but that wasn’t surprising since it was a common antidote.
He already had several hundred points from doing his daily missions, so using five points to get this antidote wasn’t really anything for him.
So without any hesitation, Lin Fan bought the antidote from the system.
After he bought it, he found that the antidote was held in a special storage by the system and he was able to take it out however he wanted. So with a thought, the antidote pill appeared in his pocket.
Of course, before taking out the pill, he tried putting it back into the system’s storage to see if he could use that as his personal storage. Though as he expected, he wasn’t able to put the pill back into the system’s storage.
Still, Lin Fan wasn’t disappointed since he had received what he wanted.
So Lin Fan pulled the pill out of his pocket and said, “As long as your mother eats this pill, she’ll get better.” Then after thinking about it, he said, “But of course I’m sure that you can’t trust what I say that easily, so how about this?”
Before he could even finish giving his suggestion, Xiao Yi had already taken the pill out of his hand and fed it to her mother.
Lin Fan was caught off guard by this, but he was surprised even more by what Xiao Yi said after this.
After feeding the pill to her mother, Xiao Yi turned around and said, “If it’s something that young master Lin gives, then it’s surely work!”
Lin Fan was glad that she was willing to accept his pill that easily, but he also felt uneasy about the way that she was looking at him. The glow in her eyes, it almost seemed to reach a fanatic level…
This wouldn’t be good in the future…
But for now, what was important was taking care of the sick person, so Lin Fan ignored this temporarily.
After he finished feeding the pill to Xiao Yi’s mother, Lin Fan was planning on staying to continue observing her condition, but fate had other plans.
A few minutes after he fed her the pill, there was someone that came in without even bothering to knock on the door.
Both Lala and Xiao Yue had cold looks in their eyes, but Lin Fan stopped them with a shake of his head before turning to look at this man with a cold gaze.
Xiao Yi was the one who came forward to stop him by saying, “What are you doing? You can’t just burst in like this!”
But the man just looked at Xiao Yi with a look of disdain before raising his hand to slap her. However, before his hand could fall, Lin Fan’s hand had already come up to grab his wrist.
The man was surprised to see this, but he also didn’t lose his temper like he did with Xiao Yi. Instead, he quickly revealed a flattering smile before saying, “Sir mercenary, it was our fault for not coming to greet you.” Then he turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yi with a gaze filled with disdain, “Otherwise you wouldn’t have had this piece of trash disturb you.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes that had suddenly turned even colder, but he controlled himself by taking a deep breath. After that deep breath, he said in a calm, but firm voice, “I was the one who chose to come here. Is that any of your business?”
The man was stunned when he heard this and he didn’t know what to say as he just awkwardly stood there in silence. But he was also a quick thinker, so he quickly changed the topic by saying, “The village chief is waiting outside to meet you. Please come with me.”
When he mentioned the village chief, this man suddenly became much more confident. He wasn’t as subservient as before and there was almost a small commanding tone in his voice.
Lin Fan was naturally unhappy hearing this, but it was Lala and Xiao Yue who were worse off. Lin Fan quickly raised a hand to stop them before turning back to this man to say, “Alright, let’s go see the village chief.”
The man took back his hand before turning around to lead the way.
Lala and Xiao Yue were both unhappy about this, but Lin Fan shook his head once again to stop them and then had them stay in Xiao Yi’s house before going out to meet the village chief by himself.
The village chief was surrounded by several large men who had weapons on their backs, but at the very least, they were still respectful when meeting Lin Fan.
The village chief came forward and said in a friendly voice, “Sir mercenary, it’s an honour that you’re here to save us. I can’t believe that an A Rank Mercenary would take a request like ours.”
Lin Fan just calmly said, “It was along the way, so I chose to take it.”
Hearing this, the village chief’s expression became a bit awkward. It was clear that he never expected Lin Fan to be this curt and he had clearly thought of many other things to say, but Lin Fan hadn’t given him this chance.
However, this village chief had his years of experience from being the village chief all these years, so he quickly recovered and said, “Sir mercenary, it is still an honour for us.” Then after a pause, he changed the topic by saying, “We have already prepared the best residence in our village for you and your companions. If you wish, I can lead you there now.”
Lin Fan shook his head and said, “No, we want to get this over with as soon as possible, so after scouting out the village, we’ll be heading out into the forest again.”
The village chief was surprised by this, but he quickly said, “Sir mercenary, it’s going to be dark soon. It’s not smart to be out in the dark with that dangerous spirit beast wandering around.”
Lin Fan said in a firm voice, “No, we’ll be heading out soon.”
Then without even giving the village chief a chance to say anything, he turned back and headed into Xiao Yi’s house.
The village chief and his group were just left there standing in a daze, not knowing what to do.
But after Lin Fan had left, the village chief and his group all revealed dark looks as if they had been offended by what Lin Fan had said. Still, it wasn’t as if they were going to chase after Lin Fan and try to convince him otherwise, so they just accepted this and then turned to leave.
As they were leaving, the village chief slapped the head of the man who had gone into Xiao Yi’s house earlier and scolded him.
Of course, none of this had been missed by Lin Fan’s eyes, or rather by Greeny’s eyes in the form of a mosquito that was flying around.
