This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1264 - 563: Calamity Descends

[In the early morning, Panda Village, sitting on the mid-slopes, is enveloped in light morning fog and bamboo forests. The first rays of morning light spill from the sky, illuminating this quaint village nestled among the mountains...]

[The Panda people follow winding paths towards the forest farms in the mountains, starting their day’s work...]

[You control Chun Li’s body, walking out of the bamboo house, strolling towards the deeper parts of the village...]

Mu You had just administered a diluted Sleeping Potion to Chun Li, who, in her sleepy state, naturally had no consciousness of resistance, allowing Mu You to easily take over her body.

An hour ago, Eugene discovered unknown microorganisms hidden within Chun Li and the mechanical body; after a discussion, it was unanimously determined that these microorganisms possessed the ability to produce Magic Power, and the Magic Power produced was Pure Magic, far more concentrated than the Mixed Magic Power of the Star Spirit World.

Moreover, considering the previous mechanical being’s ability to absorb surrounding Magic Power, Mu You speculated that these microorganisms could also Devour the surrounding Mixed Magic Power and perform some purification, converting it into the host’s power.

It’s somewhat akin to the process of plants absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

Since these microorganisms could counteract the force field of the Abyss, as long as a way could be found to cultivate these organisms inside the human body, they could enter the Abyss without restriction.

Regrettably, during the prior conversation with Chun Li, she did not mention these microorganisms at all; she most likely didn’t know they existed.

Mu You was now out to seek information about these microorganisms from the village’s Potion Granny directly.

This elderly seemed to be among the oldest of the Panda people and might know something. Additionally, the texts exchanged during her two meetings with Chun Li gave Mu You the impression that the elder might have discovered his presence, but chose not to reveal it for some reason.

[Along the way, numerous fellow villagers greet you, but you ignore them, heading straight towards the deeper parts of the village...]

[You arrive in front of a small house in the forest, surrounded by fields full of Magic Medicine Ingredients, and from the direction of the bamboo house, a faint scent of medicine drifts...]

[You step forward and knock on the door...]

[The door opens quickly, revealing an elderly Panda person – Potion Granny. Upon seeing your figure, she pauses abruptly: "Chun Li, why are you..."]

[The elderly’s words suddenly stop, and she frowns: "No, you are not Chun Li..."]

["You’re the person who’s been hiding beside Chun Li these past few days, aren’t you?" the elderly asks, seemingly not too surprised by your appearance.]

["Yes." You nod, admitting to this.]

["Come in..." The elderly steps aside to let you in, entering the house first and leisurely starting to make tea with a teapot.]

[You enter the house, seeing a Magic Furnace and Crucible placed in the center, the rich scent of herbs emanating from them...]

["Please excuse my modest abilities. In Eden, Magic Potions are scarce, and these little skills I figured out myself are probably not up to the standards of someone as knowledge as you," the elder self-deprecatingly chuckles, setting a cup of brewed tea in front of you.]

["The moment I saw those two epic potions, I knew Chun Li had definitely concealed something because those potions were just freshly made, meaning she must have a high-level Magic Potion Master nearby. Plus, considering the battle that took place in the sky earlier, I can guess what Chun Li went through," the elderly says slowly, sitting down across the table and suddenly giving you a careful look: "You must be a Fool, right?"]

["Oh? How did you know?"]

Mu You asks subconsciously, but then immediately realizes that being able to switch into other people’s bodies is an ability only a Fool possesses, which probably led to the Guess.

However, the elder’s response surprises him.

["Because, I’ve encountered a Fool here before."]

["A Fool? In Eden?"]

Mu You asks, surprised.

["Yes, that alchemist named Tarif Kent, who left a deep impression on me when I was young..." the elder reminisces about the past.]

"Tarif Kent..."

This name, Mu You remembers.

He was summoned by a thought in a garbage dump of Clockwork City and ended up finding a Mechanical Heart. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

And at that time, an image flashed in the Mechanical Heart claiming the speaker to be the ’Final Masterpiece’—the maker of the TK2300 skin, whose name was indeed ’Tarif Kent.’

The Mechanical Armor Skin maker, surely, had been to Eden!

This would explain why the Mechanical Armor Skin had a sensation of ’falling leaves return to their roots.’ It’s very likely that the Mechanical Heart was originally brought from Eden!

[You inquire the elderly about Kent’s deeds.]

["I don’t know much about Kent, after all, he was a prominent figure at the time, and I was just a little girl who had recently joined Eden, meeting him only a few times,"]

["Kent was a nice man, witty and humorous, and would give us newcomers little gifts, though he occasionally spoke in ways that were incomprehensible..." the elder recalls intermittently.]

["What do you mean by ’prominent figure’?" you ask.]

["Kent held the position of a mechanical repairman here, an important job, and he was the only being allowed free access to the Mechanical lands. Once, by chance, I overheard his argument with Eva but unfortunately, the content they discussed was too profound for me, always about the progress of civilization, the future of the world and such, too remote for me..." the elder shakes her head and sighs.]
