Chapter 27 The Effects of the Holy Spring

Hearing Elena say "Lord Hero" with every other breath, even a fake like Mu An felt a bit embarrassed.

But the reward already placed before him had to be accepted.

As a model youth of the new era, his bottom line had always been very flexible.

For the sake of this huge sum of money, it wouldn't be impossible to temporarily change the purpose of this trip.

"I accept this mission."

Mu An smilingly accepted the Storage Pouch that Elena handed over.

The latter also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Currently, other than these worldly possessions, she had almost nothing else worth offering.

On the side, Renée snorted coldly, reluctantly accepting this fact.

After explaining everything, Elena prepared to continue her journey.

Mu An called out to her and suddenly shook her hand.

Elena looked with slight confusion at the special pattern that flashed and disappeared on the back of her hand.

The man smiled mysteriously.

"When you encounter life-threatening danger, shout my name, and perhaps I will be able to appear immediately to save you."

In fact.

This was the mark of the [Purple Positioning Transporter].

When necessary, Mu An could indeed teleport directly over.

No matter where it was, whether at the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea.

Elena didn't have too many doubts, nodded to express her thanks, and then hurriedly set off.

Renée watched reluctantly as Elena's figure disappeared into the distance.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: should she also use the Stealth Cloak to sneak away...

But the man's lazy words directly and ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.

"Don't think about sneaking away; if I could discover you once, I can discover you twice."

"Of course, if you insist on leaving, that's not impossible, but then I will smilingly accept your Sister Elena's one thousand three hundred and seventy-three gold coins."

Her little schemes having been seen through, Renée's expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.

Looking at that man's punchable handsome Face, she snorted coldly.

She flicked her golden hair behind her back with her jade hand, letting it 'cascade' down her back, and said angrily.

"Hmph! Who wants to sneak away? It certainly won't be me!"

In fact, what she was thinking inside was.

[Absolutely cannot let this stinky man easily eat up the money Sister Elena left behind!]

"Next, we need to head in this direction..."

Renée took out a hand-drawn map from somewhere, and after studying it for a while, determined a certain direction.

Mu An, however, timely grabbed her collar, lifting her up just like catching a little chick.

The young girl was stunned for a moment, then her petite body kicked wildly in mid-air, her pretty Face flushed red with anger.

"Stinky man! Big pervert! What do you want to do?"

"Want to."

Not caring whether the young girl understood or not, Mu An happily replied with a cold joke.

"We still have things to be busy with right now. No matter where you want to go later, for now, stay here; you can't go anywhere."

"Of course, the same still applies: I won't restrict you; you can go wherever you want."

After saying this, Mu An called out again.

"Nina, prepare for battle!"

"Understood, Boss!"

On the side, Nina immediately held two guns, which were two magic desert eagle.

Because he had previously drawn three guns of the same model, Mu An thought it over carefully and only kept one for himself, giving the rest to the young girl.

As the number one employee, since he could obtain the same experience when she killed monsters, the subsequent combat method was very clear.

The work of killing monsters would almost entirely be done by Nina.

And Mu An would only be responsible for slacking off in the back, while incidentally using his shadow to 'devour' the monsters' corpses.

Bang, a gunshot.

Nina aimed at a certain direction not far away.

Then, in Renée's shocked gaze, a Cyclops at least fifteen meters tall that had been extremely well hidden fell down from a giant tree.

Boom——

The fall of the headless corpse caused the ground to vibrate.

It was as if some special start button for battle had been pressed.

Most of the Cyclops in the Forest of Giants, whether sleeping or wandering, came walking towards this direction one after another.

"Are you crazy? You actually dare to actively provoke this group of guys!"

Renée widened her eyes in disbelief.

Why was the Forest of Giants called the Forest of Giants?

Because a group of Cyclops were entrenched here!

Their desire for attack and revenge was extremely high; once they discovered a clansman had been killed, they would swarm over until they killed all the enemies, never stopping until death.

Fortunately, these big guys were often only active at night, and during the day, they would almost all fall into a deep sleep state.

Therefore.

Many people would also specifically choose to pass through this place during the day.

"Accusing me without evidence, I'll deduct one gold coin as a mental damages fee."

Mu An didn't care what Renée thought, and happily kept accounts.

As for why Nina could discover the extremely well-hidden Cyclops earlier...

Mu An indicated that after the [Enemy Detection Radar] further increased its detection range, this ability could be shared with employees.

This could also be considered to have alleviated the pressure on him as the boss to a certain extent.

"..."

Seeing that this man was impervious to reason, Renée wished she could use her fairy bow to smash open his head to see what exactly was inside.

[Cannot get angry! Cannot get angry!]

The young girl took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm her mood.

"Things have come to this; we can only fight while retreating!"

Watching more and more Cyclops surrounding them, she prepared to raise the fairy bow in her hand.

But this action was again timely stopped by Mu An.

"You are the object being protected; no need to participate in fighting, just stay on the side."

"..."

Renée was already so angry that she didn't know what to say.

[If you really wanted to protect me, you wouldn't have actively provoked these damn Cyclops!]

But Mu An's thoughts were very simple.

Renée wasn't his employee, and her killing monsters wouldn't drop experience for him.

If she just randomly attacked, wouldn't that be equivalent to stealing monsters from him and Nina?

That certainly wouldn't do.

"Oi, young girl, do you know what this is?"

"elven holy spring?! How do you have this... did Sister Elena give this to you again?"

Renée couldn't help but exclaim.

As a princess of the Elven Race, she naturally knew the preciousness of this thing.

To put it bluntly, even for an elf like Elena who had rendered distinguished service to the Elven Race.

It might take hundreds of years to be rewarded with just a few drops!

She also gradually began to believe that Mu An had indeed saved Elena's life, or had provided her with immense help.

Otherwise, with Elena's personality, it would be impossible for her to gift him the precious elven holy spring!

Mu An seriously observed the young girl's expression, roughly determining that this thing didn't seem to be poisonous.

Anyway, this was the Magic World, and holding a Revival Coin, he wasn't afraid, so he directly consumed a drop of the elven holy spring on the spot.

"You consumed a drop of [elven holy spring], and your Aptitude has been greatly improved!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained All Attributes +50, and from now on, the skill proficiency required for all skills is halved!"

Mu An: !

He looked in disbelief at the small crystal bottle in his hand that still had two drops of the elven holy spring left, secretly clicking his tongue.

One drop of this stuff is this fierce?

I'll let Nina use it in a bit!

Regarding his own outstanding employees, Mu An was never stingy with rewards.
