Chapter 1116: Chapter 508: Concealment Matters

"The idea of the Medicinal Plant Gatherer?"

Mu You exhaled a breath, actually thinking of using fairy tears to exploit a bug—it was a thought only a fool from the information age could conceive.

No matter what, this was an unexpected joy.

Mu You immediately retrieved hundreds of bottles of Evolution Elixir from the ring, casually selected for quality, and confirmed that the quality was sufficient to achieve perfect evolution, then he gulped them all down in one go.

To overcome the level 25 bottleneck, it took a total of 125 bottles of Evolution Elixir! Luckily, most of the potion was made of energy and dissolved immediately upon consumption, or else his stomach would have burst.

As soon as all the potions were ingested, he felt the energy in his body surging, searching for an outlet, and the level 25 bottleneck was naturally breached.

When he opened his eyes again, Mu You had officially advanced to become a Legendary Player.

Regaining his senses, Mu You checked his own attributes and did a simple redistribution.

Now, his panel attributes were as follows: Strength: 53, Agility: 106, Intelligence: 159, Constitution: 55.

This jump from level 20 to 25 brought a surge in total attributes, but because he had already increased nearly a hundred points due to previously merging with the Divine Bone, the increase didn’t seem as impactful.

Mu You picked up the bottles and containers from the ground and turned back to look at the fairy girl.

This time, she had significantly hastened his progress, the phase from level 20 to 25, which would have taken at least a year and a half of real-time hunting of creatures to achieve.

Mu You was about to thank the fairy girl but turned around only to find that she had already disappeared.

"Gone back?"

He looked up, somewhat puzzled.

Through the connection between Contractors, he could faintly sense that the fairy girl was right above him and was quickly moving away—obviously flying out of the Dark Cave.

Mu You felt something was amiss, furrowed his brow, and was just about to follow when footsteps echoed out of the darkness ahead.

Seconds later, a figure emerged from the darkness.

Stepping into the light was a young man with sharp eyes and clean features, carrying a basket full of various medicinal herbs and holding a cage imprisoning some obscure Dark Cave Beast.

"Ah? Medicinal Plant Gatherer! Perfect timing!" The young man appeared, and immediately, the Watchman’s delighted voice followed, "Let me tell you, our plan worked! The main body straight to level 25!"

"Medicinal Plant Gatherer..."

Mu You’s expression turned peculiar. The newcomer was naturally the other incarnation of the Medicinal Plant Gatherer; he knew the Watchman had a habit of naming the creatures around him, but this peculiar nickname still made him uncomfortable.

However, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer opposite him seemed indifferent, clearly having grown accustomed to the moniker.

As the Medicinal Plant Gatherer approached, Mu You took a closer look at his face, and was slightly surprised.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer in front of him looked just as he had before, almost no change in appearance, still the young man of about fifteen or sixteen.

What puzzled Mu You was that, according to Ling Long’s memory, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had not contracted with any fairy. Both the Watchman and Ling Long had maintained their youth for four thousand years through the blessings of a fairy contract. How had he managed it?

Wordlessly, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer walked past him, treating the surrounding people as if they were nothing, and placed the basket and cage on the ground.

Mu You couldn’t help frowning; Ling Long really hadn’t been wrong—only by seeing the Medicinal Plant Gatherer in person could he truly feel that hermit-like, cold, and distant aura that seemed to completely encase his heart in ice.

"Anyway, let’s synchronize memories first," Mu You said, looking at the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

He was truly curious about what had happened to make the Medicinal Plant Gatherer turn out this way.

Also, they had been speculating that the Medicinal Plant Gatherer might be secretly undertaking some clandestine activity, which also made Mu You somewhat concerned.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer looked up at him, didn’t refuse, nodded, and walked straight toward him.

The next second, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer disappeared on the spot, and a massive influx of memories surged into Mu You’s mind.

Just like before, Mu You was stunned on the spot, slowly processing.

But soon, he furrowed his brow.

It wasn’t that he discovered something astonishing in the Medicinal Plant Gatherer’s memory—on the contrary, his memories were incredibly mundane!

During these four thousand years, ninety-nine percent of his time was spent studying Magic Potions Study!

The more Mu You looked, the more bizarre his expression became.

In the earliest memories of the Medicinal Plant Gatherer, that day when he and his incarnations disconnected might have been due to time-space rule adjustment; all memories about the ’Sweet Potion’ from the brains of the three avatars had suddenly vanished, making it impossible for them to recall any details about this potion, including its name, formula, and principles.

However, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer speculated there was such a potion that could reverse the odd transformation based on the phenomenon when the fairy girl reverted from a strange metamorphosis back to a larva after Mu You administered a certain potion.

For the next hundred years, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer stayed in the Dark Cave to experiment with magic potions and developed the ingenious idea of incorporating emotions into potions by observing Gushas.

By the beginning of the new era, he had finally perfectly restored the formula for the Sweet Potion.

However, that was just the beginning. Over the following millennia, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer, like an academic madman, immersed himself in researching various unknown medicinal herbs and materials in the Dark Cave.
