Chapter 411 - Demi-Human Tribe  

“Eh? Is she not in the room? ”

“Who are you looking for? ”

“Xiao Ruoruo, the top student. ”

Butler Sun had been woken up by the noise in the corridor and had come out to check the situation in his pajamas. Looking at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei suspiciously, he wondered, “What’re the two of them doing in front of a girl’s guest room in the middle of the night? ”

“Mr. Jiawei, Mr. Fang Heng, it’s already so late. What’s so important that you’re both here? ” uttered Butler Sun.

Mo Jiawei took two steps back to show his innocence.

Ahem.

Fang Heng’s face turned red.

The day and night were reversed in the game, so he had forgotten that it was already late at night.

It didn’t seem appropriate for two of them to block the entrance of a girl’s room at such an hour.

“I’m here to look for Xiao Ruoruo. I want to discuss some issues related to Occult with her. Please excuse me. As researcher academics, we got excited halfway through research and came here without a second thought… ” Fang Heng explained awkwardly, “We just… forgot to take the hour into consideration… ”

Butler Sun had a suspicious look on his face, showing that he didn’t quite believe Fang Heng’s words. He mused, “You? A research academic? How could you possibly focus on studying when you keep entering and exiting the study every few hours? ”

Mo Jiawei quickly skipped over the matter and went forward to ask, “Butler Sun, where’s Ruoruo? ”

“Is she not in her room? ” Butler Sun was also a little puzzled. He walked forward, looked at the dark room, then answered as realization hit him, “Oh right, she asked me after dinner where the warehouse where the ores are stored is. She might still be in the warehouse now. I’ll bring you two there to take a look. ”

Butler Sun was also a little worried about Xiao Ruoruo’s safety, so he followed Fang Heng and Xiao Ruoruo to the warehouse.

In the backyard, the warehouse door was closed tightly.

Creak!

Pushing open the warehouse door, the three of them stood at the door at the same time.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He turned his head to look at Mo Jiawei and cast a questioning gaze at him.

Not noticing Fang Heng’s gaze at all, Mo Jiawei had a shock-filled face.

In the center of the warehouse was Xiao Ruoruo, her toes less than 10 centimeters above the ground. She was suspended in the air.

A large amount of blue crystal raw ores was revolving around Xiao Ruoruo’s body rapidly.

Being able to use active skills outside the game was the most obvious characteristic of Tier 3 materialization!

Mo Jiawei was shocked. He turned his head and asked Fang Heng in a low voice, “What’s going on? ”

Fang Heng was speechless. “You’re asking me? ”

Mo Jiawei opened his mouth without saying a word.

He had a deep impression of Xiao Ruoruo, the girl who was very afraid of strangers.

Since she was young, she often stayed in Mo Yunxiao’s study.

Every time Mo Jiawei saw Xiao Ruoruo, she would lower her head and walk past him quickly.

After she grew up, the situation slightly improved.

It was the first time Mo Jiawei realized that Xiao Ruoruo was actually so capable.

Thud.

Xiao Ruoruo landed on the ground and opened her eyes, noticing the comers.

“You guys… Why are you here? ”

…

“Eh? You want to improve the potion? ”

In the living room, Xiao Ruoruo looked confused after listening to Fang Heng’s explanation of his wish to improve the potion.

“Fang Heng, improving the potion is a very difficult thing because the transformation method of potionology is not quite consistent… To improve the medicinal effect, alchemists would carry out a special purification of the medicinal ingredients… But from the perspective of potionology, most would… ”

Listening to the top student explain the potionology’s area of focus, Fang Heng suddenly felt drowsy.

At least Fang Heng still had some foundation in potionology. Mo Jiawei was confused, and his eyelids were twitching.

In less than two minutes, Mo Jiawei directly fell asleep on the couch beside him.

“Hint: you have had a discussion with Xiao Ruoruo about potionology, alchemy, and Occult. As a result, you’ve gained some knowledge. You have gained 33 basic potionology skill experience points and 55 basic occult skill experience points. ”

“What’s going on? ! Both my basic potionology skill experience points and basic occult skill experience points have increased? ! ”

The sudden game hint had woken Fang Heng up.

It was rare to see a game hint outside of the game.

For a moment, Fang Heng’s couldn’t take his eyes off Xiao Ruoruo.

It was all too weird!

He had communicated with Mo Yunxiao about Occult before. Why hadn’t there been such a hint before? Why hadn’t he received any skill experience points before?

“Fang Heng? Is there something on my face? ”

Xiao Ruoruo noticed Fang Heng’s gaze, and her face flushed slightly. She couldn’t help but lower her head.

Fang Heng was shocked and asked, “It’s a game hint! Didn’t you receive it? ”

“Ah? ” Xiao Ruoruo was surprised for a moment, and then her expression dimmed. Without raising her head, she muttered softly, “I’m sorry, Fang Heng, I haven’t been honest with you. Actually, I’m demi-human. ”

“So that’s how it is… She’s demi-human, ” mused Fang Heng. His heart was pounding.

Demi-humans were one of the minorities in the game. They were the product of a human and an NPC.

Demi-humans had the dual attribute of NPCs and players. They were born in the game, but they had the ability to leave the game and enter the real world.

Demi-humans could avoid many risks of the game. They could directly bring all their abilities in the game out of the game, and they would not be subjected to the majority of the game’s punishments!

But similarly, they did not have part of the special abilities that players had. The most common examples were demi-humans who did not have a game backpack, could not accept missions, could not view personal information, and could not receive game hints.

The Federation had strict control over the demi-humans.

Under the Federation’s deliberate exaggeration, the demi-humans were regarded as monsters that were extremely dangerous existences in the game.

In a more advanced world, there was a group of anti-federation forces made up of demi-humans. They had once brought great trouble to the Federation!

“T-There’s no need to be sorry. I’m just a little surprised, ” responded Fang Heng.

Xiao Ruoruo timidly raised her head and looked at Fang Heng. “Then… Fang Heng, aren’t you afraid of me? ”

“Hmm? Afraid? Are you very scary? ”

Xiao Ruoruo became even more uneasy. “N-No… ”

“Then, all’s good. What’s there to be afraid of? ” Fang Heng was simple-minded. He walked over, casually picked up a book on the table, and quickly put it into his game backpack.

“Look, you now know my secret, while I know yours. With this, we can be considered good friends, right? ”

“Yes! ” Xiao Ruoruo felt relieved. A smile reappeared on her face as she nodded in response.

“Right, I heard that demi-humans can’t use the game cabin. How do you enter and exit the game? ”

“That… ” Xiao Ruoruo hesitated.

“Is it a secret? Then it’s okay. Forget that I asked. ”

“It’s not a secret, but Fang Heng, don’t tell anyone. ” Xiao Ruoruo reached out her hand and turned the back of her hand toward Fang Heng.

“We demi-humans enter and exit the game through this mark. ”

As Xiao Ruoruo spoke, a faint red mark appeared on the back of her fair hand.
