The trust that Mu Bao Bao put in him was flattering, but it was also dangerous.
It had reached the point where it was almost blind after seeing all the amazing things that he had done before.
This time, Lin Fan really didn't know what to do.
After all, this wasn't something that he was familiar with.
The name Extreme Yin Body was pretty self explanatory and things like extreme yin or yang were very common in the novels that he had read before. But when it was placed in front of him, he wasn't able to do anything about it.
After all, he didn't have something of extreme yang to balance it out.
That was the only thing that he could think of that would work.
But as he was about to shake his head, there was a notification that suddenly appeared.
It was a notification that he had been waiting for for a long time and now that it was finally here, he couldn't help being caught off guard by it.
"The system has finished updating and has leveled up. New functions have been unlocked."
He had completely forgotten about the system updating because of what had happened recently, so he hadn't been paying attention to the bar that the system had shown him about its updating status.
Without knowing it, that bar had filled up and the system had finished updating.
When it woke up, the first thing that it did was…
"Host, please check the store under the special mission item tab."
Lin Fan couldn't help being confused when he heard this, but he still followed the instructions of the system. When he opened the tab, he couldn't help being surprised by what he saw.
There was only one item that was listed there, but it was the exact item that he needed in this situation.
It was an Extreme Yang Seed.
Based on the description, it was just what he needed to solve the blue haired girl's problem.
But then he realized that it was under a strange tab.
"Special mission item."
He didn't remember there being a mission that required him to need this item.
So he quickly opened up the mission tab to see what was happening.
The mission page was still the same as before, with the same three tabs there. But as he flipped through them, he finally found what he was looking for.
It was a new side mission.
[Side Mission] Save the damsel in distress
A hero doesn't leave a damsel in distress behind, he does what he can to save her. So how can you leave this damsel to suffer her fate?
Clear Conditions: Help Bing Qi solve the problems of her Extreme Yin Body.
Reward: ??? (Depends on method of completing the mission)
When Lin Fan saw this, he almost couldn't help feeling that he was being played with by the system. The description of this mission…it was completely different from the descriptions from before.
First, without mentioning the content of the mission, just the tone that it was written in was different from before. It was no longer as serious as before and was written out more like a joke than a mission.
He couldn't help thinking of the changes that he had sensed in the system before…
"System, are you sure that you're not more articulate?" Lin Fan thought in his mind.
The system just calmly replied, "It's your imagination, host."
Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a secret bitter smile when he heard this, but there was nothing that he could say in response. The system wouldn't admit to it, so no matter what he said, there wouldn't be the response that he would want.
So instead of wasting time arguing with the system, it was better to focus on the task on hand.
Namely, it was better to focus on saving the blue haired girl.
The special mission item was very cheap, only costing a single point, so Lin Fan had no problem affording this item. After he bought it, he began studying how to use it.
The item that he received from the system was just a seed. While he could feel the yang energy coming from it, he thought that it was just too weak to balance out the powerful yin energy that was being released by the blue haired girl.
He didn't see how this seed would be able to help her.
But since it was something that came from the system, he decided that he would trust this item.
When he was about to pull this seed out and use it on the blue haired girl, the system's voice rang out again.
"Host, the proper way to use the Extreme Yang Seed is to…" The system went on to describe the way to use the Extreme Yang Seed.
However, as it spoke, Lin Fan's expression couldn't help becoming strange and complicated. It was as if he really wanted to dig a hole for himself to hide in.
When the system finished, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Are you sure that this is the only way?"
The system confirmed, "Yes, host. This is the only way."
Lin Fan just had a bitter smile on his face when he heard this.
But at the same time, he couldn't help thinking that the system was indeed much more talkative and articulate. If it was before, the system wouldn't have spoken up like this for no reason.
The system would mainly keep quiet and keep to itself as it watched over him.
Only when he finished missions or it was a life or death situation would the system speak up.
Now it seemed like the system would speak up randomly just to talk to him.
It really was a strange feeling. It was almost as if he was talking to a friend rather than a system now.
"Host, you are just imagining things. The system is just the tool given to you by the God of Earth to help you adjust to your new life."
Lin Fan was caught off guard when the system suddenly spoke, but he then remembered that he communicated with the system in thoughts. Since that was the case, that should mean that the system would be able to read his thoughts as well.
No, no matter how he looked at it, the system had changed with its upgrade. It was talking more and it was talking in a more fluid manner, instead of talking in a mechanical voice like before.
Before the system could cut him off by saying the same thing as before, he said, "It's not a bad thing that you've changed. Thank you for your help."
The system fell silent after hearing this.
After a long pause, the system said, "You're welcome. But host, you might want to focus on the mission right now. There's a life at stake after all."
When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help feeling that he had made a breakthrough with the system for the first time. But he also knew that the system was right.
The Extreme Yang Seed was to be used to save the life of Mu Bao Bao's Senior Sister Bing. The longer that he delayed, the more pain that both of them would be in.
So Lin Fan threw out all his hesitation and came over to their side.
When Mu Bao Bao saw this, she moved back to give him space.
However, Senior Sister Bing wasn't as trusting as Mu Bao Bao.
Even though she knew that he wasn't a bad person, she was someone that had never had close contact with a male before. So when a man came this close to her, she couldn't help moving back a bit.
As she moved back, she also said, "What are you doing?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything at first as he winced from the pain of the coldness that hit him. However, it was at least bearable since he could feel the heating sensation coming from the Extreme Yang Seed inside of his dantian.
That was right, he had taken the Extreme Yang Seed inside of himself and now it was floating there in his dantian, providing him with powerful yang energy.
With this yang energy, he was able to resist the powerful yin energy coming from Senior Sister Bing.
But there was a large difference in strength between the yang and yin energy.
The Extreme Yin Body had developed over many years along with Senior Sister Bing, so it was much stronger than the Extreme Yang Seed that had just been planted in Lin Fan's dantian.
So he still felt pain as he came closer to her.
He looked up at her and said with the most sincere look that he could, "I want to help you."
Senior Sister Bing couldn't help being taken aback when she saw him looking at her like this.
She looked over at Mu Bao Bao who gave a nod of affirmation to her.
With this, she decided that she would trust Lin Fan as well.
After all, even if he failed, there was nothing for her to lose since she was already dying.
"Alright…but what are you planning on doing?" Senior Sister Bing said in a more gentle voice.
Lin Fan revealed an awkward look when he heard this and he stammered, "Eh, uh, I, uh…"
He knew what he wanted to say, but when he had to say it, he just couldn't bring himself to let these words come out.
Seeing him act this way, both Senior Sister Bing and Mu Bao Bao couldn't help feeling strange.
In the end, Lin Fan just raised his hand out towards her and said, "Trust me."
