Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Mind Blown! Can HP Still Decrease?_1

"Gotta admit, you’re spot on!" Su Yan nodded in agreement. Then, without any modesty, he said, "Actually, I also think I’m pretty good myself, and compared to me, you’re way behind."

Su Yan accepted the compliment and took the opportunity to knock the other guy down a peg.

The convenience store owner: "???"

What kind of person is this!? All he did was politely offer a bit of sunshine, so why did this guy start shining so brightly? And the most ridiculous part was that while shining, he also managed to blind you in the process. What the heck is this! After hearing Su Yan’s words, the convenience store owner was utterly dumbfounded. He was complaining internally and was even close to losing his cool and attacking the guy.

Fortunately, he held back. He just coughed lightly and adjusted his emotions slightly. Then he looked at Su Yan and tried to persuade him, "Su Yan, don’t be fooled by the current status of the human race as the overlord of Earth; it has long been hollow and fraught with internal strife and external threats. Before long, the entire human society will crumble, and then it will be picked apart and devoured by various species."

At this point, the convenience store owner sighed deeply, "Su Yan, humans have already lost hope and are on the verge of extinction." After finishing, he looked at Su Yan with a face full of eagerness and said, "For a talent like you, it wouldn’t be right to perish along with the human race. I sincerely hope you will leave the human race and join our Demon Plant Clan, to build a glorious future in the upcoming chaotic world! Then, we will follow Flower God and Old Shu in conquering territories, become founding heroes together, be conferred nobility, and have everything!"

The more the convenience store owner spoke, the more excited he became and eventually shouted emphatically, "We all have a bright future!"

Looking at the convenience store owner, whose expression was crazed and his entire being seemed to border on madness, Su Yan couldn’t help feeling quite shocked.

He had never imagined. This game world actually contained something akin to a cult? Defecting from the human race? Embracing plants? Only a fool would do such a thing.

At this moment, the convenience store owner had no idea what Su Yan was thinking. He just looked at Su Yan earnestly and invited him again, "Su Yan, don’t hesitate, join our Demon Plant Clan and create a beautiful future together!"

"This..." Su Yan first looked up at the convenience store owner, then lowered his head, pretending to consider it. After a moment, he looked up again at the convenience store owner, looking somewhat conflicted as he said, "But what’s in it for me if I join you guys?"

"Su Yan, I’m not bragging, but the benefits of joining the Demon Plant Clan are more than you can imagine!"

"The first benefit is that we won’t have to worry about lacking evolution resources because we have an endless supply of Exotic Flower Fruits!"

"The second benefit is that we won’t have to fret about finding a marriage partner because we’ll assign Flower Fairies and Immortal Grasses!"

"The third benefit is that in the near future, our Demon Plant Clan will completely replace the human race and become the new overlords of Earth!"

"The fourth benefit is that we’ll..."

Seeing that the convenience store owner seemed ready to go on endlessly, Su Yan immediately interrupted impatiently, "Stop, I’ll join."

Although the convenience store owner was annoyed at being interrupted, he still smiled when he heard Su Yan agree to join, "Wise choice, Su Yan. You’ll be glad for the decision you’re making today!"

Su Yan didn’t bother with the convenience store owner’s ravings but said to him, "Now that I’ve joined, can you assign me a Flower Fairy? And, it has to be one with fair skin, a beautiful face, and an hourglass figure. I don’t want an ugly one."

"Um... this..."

What on earth is this guy’s deal? Why’s he demanding a Flower Fairy right off the bat? This totally isn’t following any script! The convenience store owner was flabbergasted.

"Um what? What’s this about? Are you saying everything you just said was just tricking people?"

"Not exactly, it’s just that there are certain requirements to get assigned a Flower Fairy..."

"What requirements?"

"Quite simple, just complete enough tasks for the supreme Flower God..."

"Oh, in that case, forget it." Su Yan instantly lost interest after hearing that.

Upon seeing this, the convenience store owner panicked and hurriedly said, "Su Yan, wait, listen to me first! Apart from completing certain tasks to exchange for a Flower Fairy, the Flower God also randomly selects one lucky individual each year and assigns them a Flower Fairy for free as a benefit. Everyone has a chance, it’s absolutely fair and just," the convenience store owner said enticingly.

"Alright, let me know when the lottery starts," Su Yan said. "I’ve got things to do, so I should be going. We’ll chat some other time when I’m free."

Having said that, Su Yan turned to leave. In fact, he had briefly considered taking action against the convenience store owner. But on second thought, he gave up. Yesterday afternoon at the convenience store, he had already seen the owner’s bio-information panel. The owner was rather strong, at least several times more powerful than the principal of Luo City Number One High School. And what’s more important is that the owner might have other trump cards, like a hand hiding in the shadows, or decayed wood that could disguise as anyone... Rashly going up against someone like that was not a wise choice; it was too easy to be overturned. So, Su Yan chose to play it safe. He decided not to conflict with the convenience store owner just yet; there would be time to deal with him later and eliminate the traitor for the human race.

But I really didn’t see that coming. Just yesterday, I thought he was just a monk sweeping the floor. Turns out, he’s a traitor in the end. Life is truly unpredictable...

As he thought this, Su Yan didn’t hesitate to walk away, not staying for even a moment longer.

Just then, the convenience store owner behind him suddenly called out, "Su Yan, wait a minute!"

"Is there something else?" Su Yan stopped, turning back to look at the convenience store owner with some confusion.

The convenience store owner smiled and said, "Joining us isn’t as simple as just saying so."

"So what do I have to do?"

"You don’t have to do anything, you just need to swallow a seed."

The convenience store owner’s voice had just fallen when a cold and deathly palm suddenly reached out from the darkness beside Su Yan. It then respectfully presented an eerie seed to him.

Su Yan looked at the seed. It was pitch-black with vein-like patterns on its surface, looking identical to the one the young woman had produced earlier.

"Su Yan, only after you swallow this seed can you truly be considered part of the Demon Plant Clan," the convenience store owner said to Su Yan.

Su Yan just smiled, then unhesitatingly picked up the eerie seed, already prepared in his mind to fight. However, in the next moment, a piece of item information popped up from the depths of his mind.

[Seven Emotion Gu Type]: A seed from the Seven Emotion Gu Tree, which grants part of the tree’s power when consumed by a living being. However, the price is that one’s consciousness can be influenced, or even controlled, by the Seven Emotion Gu Tree.

This thing is a bit hot to handle...

As Su Yan was pondering this, several system notifications quickly popped up in his mind.

[Detection of the Seven Emotion Gu Tree’s seed]

[Do you choose to devour it?]

[Option 1]: Yes

[Option 2]: No

[After devouring, you can steal part of the power from the Seven Emotion Gu Tree without any side effects]

My cheat is a bit too outrageous, isn’t it? If I swallow this Seven Emotion Gu Type seed in my hand directly, I’ll become a worker for the Seven Emotion Gu Tree. But according to the system messages, if I Devour it through the System, I can turn the tables and fleece the Gu Tree? Isn’t this a bit too thuggish? After seeing the notification messages that appeared in his mind, Su Yan was shocked.

Seeing Su Yan hesitating, the convenience store owner, afraid he would back out, urged him, "Su Yan, why hesitate? Quickly swallow the seed in your hand."

Hearing this, Su Yan didn’t say much more and directly put the seed into his mouth. The moment the seed entered his mouth, Su Yan issued the command to Devour, and a faint blue particle effect arose in his mouth. Right after that, a flood of system notifications appeared in the depths of his mind.

[Swallowing Successful]

[When happy, HP+1+1+1...]

[When angry, HP+1+1+1...]

[When sad, Spirit+1+1+1...]

[When scared, HP+1+1+1...]

[When in love, HP+1+1+1...]

[When feeling hate, Spirit+1+1+1...]

[When in desire, HP+1+1+1...]

Holy shit! This is incredible!? Looking at the notifications in his mind, Su Yan was utterly stunned. A wave of elation washed over him. And as he felt elated, another numerical notification popped up in his mind: HP+1+1+1...

Seeing the numbers flashing in his mind, Su Yan was ecstatic.

Indeed! The System truly didn’t lie to me! I can actually increase my HP when I’m happy. This is simply an invincible buff!

"Su Yan, while it’s a happy and congratulatory event to become one of us, don’t you think you’re a bit too excited?" Seeing the silly grin on Su Yan’s face, the convenience store owner standing nearby was a bit bewildered.

"No, I just get excited whenever I think about the bright future ahead," Su Yan bluffed casually, then slowly calmed his excitement. But the moment his emotions stabilized, a flood of system notifications suddenly appeared in his mind: HP-1-1-1...

Su Yan: "???"

Looking at the reverse numerical notifications in his mind, Su Yan was completely dumbfounded. My HP can actually decrease? What the hell is going on!?

「Meanwhile, in a dark, lightless forest somewhere.」

An ancient Strange Tree was also dumbfounded.

Just now, it felt that an evolving creature had consumed one of its Seven Emotion Gu Types. But when it tried to control the consciousness of the other party, it was horrified to find that part of its power had inexplicably vanished? What the hell is this!?
