Chapter 40

The young girl’s beautiful face was revealed without a doubt, and the dirty feeling on her body disappeared without a trace.

Her long hair was full of luster, and the skin on her body was fair and clear.

Compared to the situation when they first met, she was a completely different person.

He asked tentatively, “Are you… Fanny?”

When Fanny saw him, she smiled and walked toward him. “Master, I am Fanny.”

“What are you doing?” He asked in confusion.

Fanny smiled happily. “Master, it turns out that when I expel the decaying aura from my body, I can become beautiful.”

Steven was slightly surprised. He finally knew what was going on.

It turned out that the reason why she looked horrible in the past was that she had gathered too much decaying energy in her body and had no place to release it.

Otherwise, her situation would have been solved a while back.

Now she had finally found a place where she could release her body’s power. After releasing all of it, her entire personality and physique had changed a lot.

Steven looked at the surrounding environment. It was already very different from yesterday.

Especially the surrounding ground, which was covered in green gas, floating on the ground.

The ground was also pitch-black and looked sticky. He did not know what it was for.

Steven covered his nose and asked, “Will I be okay standing here?”

“Master, you will be fine standing in the places I have specified. If you go to other places, you will also be poisoned.” Fanny was more cheerful than the first time they met.

Steven nodded in understanding and said, “Tell me what’s the use of these.”

“Okay.”

Fanny became eloquent and explained the situation in general.

First of all, there was something black on the ground. It was a lethal type of poison. Whoever touched it would immediately feel it spread throughout their body.

The green gas was also a kind of lethal poison. It would slow down the movement of the person who inhaled it and cause the brain to become sluggish.

Steven looked around. The area was not wide enough at the moment. He ordered, “I hope you can cover the surroundings with such an environment as soon as possible. Is that okay?”

Fanny nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Okay. If you have anything you need, you can tell me. I will prepare it for you.”

Fanny hesitated for a moment and carefully asked, “Master, I have consumed a lot of energy. Can I replenish it from somewhere else?”

Steven thought of what had happened last night and coughed lightly. “I’ll get Alice to look for you. She’ll give you energy.”

Fanny looked very happy and nodded. “Okay, thank you, Master.”

“You’re welcome.” Steven looked around and thought that he could find Margaret to change the terrain.

Add some mud pits to make the soil softer and more quicksand would be better.

Then, when the monster tide comes, it will be greatly weakened at the beginning.

He found Margaret and told her his idea.

Margaret immediately agreed and went to change the terrain structure.

In the next few days, not much happened.

Only the forum was very lively. Unfortunately, many people sent negative messages, complaining that it was too difficult.

Many plants that were planted either had diseases or died without any cause.

They had already laid flat on the ground and were waiting for the day when the monster tide would drown them.

On the thirtieth day, Marcus received a message.

An elder of the Black Dragon Society had bought a level-4 food outside. He was poisoned and was in critical condition.

The people in the society thought that this was revenge because they could not find the seller.

If it was something from the right channels, they could easily find a seller unless intentional.

Most importantly, the person who was injured this time was the person who took his money and found someone to deal with Steven.

Marcus muttered to himself, “How could it be so serious all of a sudden? Who did this to him?”

Philip reminded him, “Could it be Steven?”

“Him?” Marcus smiled mockingly. “Do you think he has that kind of ability? Is it that easy to grow a level 4 food?”

Philip shook his head and said, “There has never been a person who could grow a level 4 food during the novice protection period. It’s impossible for him!”

“So it’s definitely not him. You guys continue to investigate, and you will definitely find some clues,” Marcus said.

“Someone is already in charge of investigating this matter.”

Philip did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he asked worriedly, “Today is the last day. Can you get through it?”

Marcus snorted lightly and said, “Do you think the bodyguards that I spent so much money to hire are all useless? Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to resist them successfully!”

He had invested so much money and hired so many people to do things, all for this day.

He thought that he would definitely not have any problems. But, on the contrary, it was Steven who would have problems. Such a loser would definitely not be able to pass.

Marcus thought of this and hung up the video call with Philip.

He was extremely proud as he called Steven for a video call. The call was quickly connected.

Steven’s handsome face appeared in front of him. Seeing this face, Marcus was displeased.

“Today is the last day. Are you mentally prepared?” Marcus smiled playfully.

Steven chuckled and replied, “On the first day I entered this place, I was already mentally prepared.”

Seeing that he was boasting shamelessly, Marcus said contemptuously, “Hehe, you’re still stubborn even now. I’ll see how you cry then.”

Steven laughed disapprovingly, “Are you anxious now?”

“Haha, what am I anxious for? You’re the one who should be anxious, right?”

Marcus sneered and put his hand on his neck. He gently stroked it. “The day you go out is the day you die.”

Steven laughed, “I think you definitely won’t be able to see it.”

Marcus did not believe him at all.

Steven said with interest, “I know you don’t believe me. Since we’ve known each other for so long, let me show you around my farm.”

Marcus frowned. He obviously did not expect him to be so generous.

Steven happened to be next to the farm. He changed the camera lens and pointed it at his farm.

“See? This is my farm. The seeds here are all level 3.

“If we are lucky, level-4 food will grow.

“There are thorny trees outside that are specially used to prevent the monster tide. There is also a swamp outside that has been modified.

“Do you think that I will be eliminated with such tight security?”

Marcus saw everything on his floating island clearly, and his face was full of disbelief.

He had never thought that Steven’s defense was better than his.

How could such a good defense be eliminated?

Marcus was shocked. “How did you do it? How could you be so capable?”
