Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Plan to Trap and Kill the Werewolf_1

[You hand the Mithril Bow and Perforation Stone to the Dwarf Blacksmith. The sound of blacksmithing rings out once more. Crafting is in progress, estimated to be complete in fifteen hours...]

Mu You didn’t expect that carving a slot into his weapon would take fifteen hours, longer than it took to make a bow...

There’s no way he could wait at the smithy that long, so after setting up a Dark Teleportation Array nearby, he rode his donkey back to his thatched cottage to await breakfast.

Back in reality, Mu You returned all the magical creatures back to his space and constructed a simple nest for the Fwooper from tree trunks.

By the time he had finished, it was eight in the morning.

Hearing movement downstairs, he went to check and found that Little Ya had arrived at the store on time.

"Eh? Boss, you’ve changed!"

Unexpectedly, this was the first thing Little Ya said when she saw him.

"Is it that obvious?"

Mu You was a bit surprised. Had Little Ya already become this familiar with him that she could spot his mental changes at a glance?

"Yes, your dark circles are gone! Boss, you finally learned to take care of yourself, good, good!" Little Ya noted.

"Oh, you’re referring to that..." Mu You felt awkward, went to look in the mirror, and indeed, his dark circles had vanished.

But why was that?

Mu You was puzzled. He had indeed gotten a good rest inside the Fool’s Boundary, but everything reverted in the end, so logically his physical condition shouldn’t have improved.

Not sure what to make of it, Mu You let it be.

After collecting his thoughts, he remembered something and turned to Little Ya, "Oh, Little Ya, did you manage to get an activation code last night?"

"Nope, that’s not so easy. The chances are so slim, and I’ve never had much luck with lotteries..." Little Ya shook her head regretfully.

After finishing her explanation, Little Ya glanced at Mu You hesitantly before cautiously asking, "Boss... have you been a player for a while now?"

"Yes."

Mu You nodded.

This girl was relatively slow. People like Lin Xue, who were more sensitive, had given Mu You a meaningful look the day the news about the Transcendents broke, clearly suspecting that he was already a player. However, Lin Xue was discreet and didn’t ask anything since Mu You didn’t admit anything.

He didn’t have the same reservations about Little Ya. After his parents passed away, she was the only person in his life that he considered ’family.’ They knew each other inside out, and he had nothing to hide from her.

"But do not tell anyone about this, alright?" Mu You reminded her.

"I got it, I got it!"

Little Ya nodded enthusiastically, running over to him excitedly, "Tell me all about it, boss. What do the players have to do? What exactly is this game about?"

No one else could see the "Fool’s" game on their mobile phones, not even in screenshots.

They could only guess the scope of the game’s world based on a few sparse descriptions on the internet. The vast majority of people were still in the dark about this mysterious game. All they knew was that one could gain extraordinary power from the game, and the people selected as players early on, they were considered chosen.

Mu You wasn’t stingy, and described the gameplay roughly for her.

"I see..."

Even such dry descriptions could fascinate Little Ya. She would occasionally take out her little notebook she used for accounting and scribble some notes, all the while muttering, ’That’s really nice.’

"Are you that eager to become a player?" Mu You asked her, amused.

"Not at all."

Upon hearing that, Little Ya immediately hid the envy on her face, took out a box with holes and a pack of dried shrimp from her bag, and began to feed the Thunder Mantis.

Seeing the obedient Thunder Mantis in her palm, Little Ya muttered to herself, "Everyone will be players in a month anyway, and I have a pea. No one else has one. Then they’ll be the ones jealous of me."

The so-called ’pea’ was the nickname that Little Ya had given to her Thunder Mantis.

Thanks to Ya’s care and feeding, the Thunder Mantis had grown significantly in just a week.

Seeing Little Ya trying to hide her eagerness, Mu You laughingly let it slide, although he was considering getting an activation code for her as well.

It wouldn’t be hard for him, he had a code peddler right by his side.

The price was not a problem either. As a Magic Potion Master, he would never be short of money. Whenever he needed it, he could just sell some of his potion to the Merchant’s alliance. He could get as much money as he wanted.

Even if it costs a few million, if it allows her to enter the game a day earlier, it would be worth it.

The only issue was, it seems he can’t reach the Torchbearer right now...

Mu You opened the forum and saw that the private message he sent to the Torchbearer remained unanswered. He wondered if she had completed her task.

"Buzz..."

As he was thinking, the old-style phone in his pocket vibrated.

He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number displayed: 139xxxxxxxx.

Mu You was taken aback. He didn’t recognize this number, but the only ones who could reach him on this phone were...

He answered the call and, sure enough, heard a familiar voice.

"Were you looking for me? Is that Visitor13457 on the forum you?"

"Yes, it’s me."

"I thought so. What did you need?"

"Nothing much. That matter has been resolved, but now there’s something else," Mu You said.

"What is it?"

"Help me get an activation code," Mu You replied.

"Why do you need an activation code? Listen, my shop doesn’t accept agents."

"Agent what? I’m obviously buying for personal use," Mu You said, exasperated. He couldn’t believe that this guy was actually planning to set up a shop.

"Oh? You have money?" The voice on the other side sounded surprised.

"That’s none of your concern. There’s not much, but a few million is no problem. Just tell me how much you need," Mu You replied generously.

"Alright... you can keep the money. I’ll give you the activation code for free, but there’s a condition," the other party said.

"What?"

"I’ve been trying to locate a werewolf for a while now, and I’m pretty sure I’ll find him soon. When I confront the werewolf in a few days, you’ll need to help me," the other person said.

"Oh? So, does that mean you completed your task?" Mu You understood instantly. The other party had planned to confront the werewolf directly. It was clear she had a new trump card up her sleeve and was feeling confident.

"Yes, I have prepared a powerful spell! If it hits, I can guarantee that the damn werewolf won’t survive!" Lu Yao didn’t hide anything. If they were going to cooperate, it was necessary to be upfront about these details.

"Sure."

After thinking for a while, Mu You agreed.

Even if Lu Yao hadn’t asked, he was planning on confronting the werewolf anyway. Moreover, after undergoing several bouts of black magic enhancement, his combat prowess was on par with the werewolf. Even if the werewolf managed to summon the Sacred Knight, Mu You could escape. Just as long as he can hold off for an hour until the summoning time was up, the werewolf would be done for.

"Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll discuss the specifics later. Right now, I’m out of activation codes. They won’t be back in stock until next Monday," Lu Yao said.

"Next Monday, huh..."

With her saying that, Mu You realized that she probably could only get one activation code per week... so she didn’t have many to sell. He wondered what she planned to sell after all the codes were gone.
