Chapter 97: Crazy Harvest
“What good items do you have?” Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and became interested.
“Don’t you have a powerful pet? I have many potions related to pets. If you take them and use them on your pet, you can easily make your pet much stronger!” Cait quickly said.
Chen Mo knew the old man was not lying. This guy could make ordinary ape monsters so powerful one by one, and making players’ pets stronger would be easy for him.
“Brave Adventurer, please don’t let him go. He is notorious and has done countless bad things. You must eliminate him!”
But Eliya, trapped in the iron cage, pleaded aloud!
“That’s right, he even captured Eliya for experiments. He is truly hateful!” Eve also said angrily.
System Notification: Eliya and Eve strongly request you to eliminate Cait. If you agree to their request, you will gain favorability from both of them!
Favorability from two loli NPCs?
On one side, there were potions that could boost pet strength; on the other, favorability that seemed not very useful. What should he do?
After a brief thought, Chen Mo made a decision.
“Alright, such a wicked person indeed should not be allowed to remain in this world!” Chen Mo nodded righteously and charged fiercely toward Cait.
Cait was greatly shocked and quickly tried to escape.
But how could he outrun Silence? After running just twenty or thirty meters, still far from the Giant Wood Tray, Chen Mo attacked several times, and then Cait fell to the ground, motionless.
“Two little beauties, this hateful old man has been killed by me.”
Chen Mo returned to the iron cage and, together with Eve, released Eliya.
“Thank you, brave Adventurer Brother!” Eliya and Eve said gratefully.
System Notification: You completed the quest “Rescue Eliya.” Eve’s favorability toward you increased by 30, and you gained an additional 20 favorability points!
System Notification: You saved Eliya from Cait’s hands. Eliya’s favorability toward you increased by 50!
“You two should leave this place quickly. There is still a powerful monster over there.” Chen Mo pointed at the still-alive Frenzied Treant.
Cait’s potions were very potent. The Frenzied Treant burned for nearly three minutes, and the flames had not yet disappeared.
“Okay, brave brother, be careful.” Eve and Eliya quickly nodded, then the two swiftly walked out of the Giant Wood Tray and disappeared into the thick white fog.
After they disappeared, Chen Mo quickly sent messages to June Rain and Golden Phoenix, telling the three of them to hurry to the Giant Wood Maze. Even though they had been killed and sent back, as long as they met the two NPCs on the way, they could still complete the quest.
June Rain and Golden Phoenix were both surprised by the message, but they were already heading toward the Giant Wood Maze, so meeting the two NPCs would not be a problem.
Then, Chen Mo walked to Cait’s “corpse,” kicked him, and said, “Alright, dead old man, stop pretending. Get up and give me the potions!”
The benefits offered by Old Man Cait were very tempting to Chen Mo. He did not want to lose these potions. However, events that greatly increase NPC favorability are rare and hard to come by. At least on the Forum, with so many players, no one had ever mentioned encountering such an event.
The choice was somewhat difficult, but Chen Mo had a clever idea and thought of a way to have both.
He pretended to kill Cait, but halfway through chasing him, he warned Cait that if he wanted to live, he should play dead after his health dropped low.
The two loli NPCs were too naive and never imagined that Chen Mo would deceive them to gain favorability.
“Hehe, thank you, Adventurer. These potions are all your reward!”
Cait quickly got up, chuckled, and handed several bottles of potions to Chen Mo.

Damn!
Cait gave Chen Mo six pet potions in one go. Upon seeing them, Chen Mo could not help but be shocked.
These were all super good items! If any of them appeared in the market, who knew how many people would fight over them!
This old man was indeed not simple. He actually gave him so many good items at once!
“Alright, Adventurer, I’ve given you everything. I’m leaving now. Just pretend you never saw me.” Cait breathed a sigh of relief. After giving so many things to this guy, he should be satisfied now!
Knowing he couldn’t stay here long, Cait turned and wanted to leave with the remaining two Giant Apes.
But he had not taken many steps when several crossbow bolts suddenly shot out from behind him.
Cait fell to the ground, unable to believe it.
“Deceitful and cunning guy, you… you will regret this!” Before dying, Cait roared unwillingly.
But Chen Mo just snorted coldly, not caring.
What a joke! Kill his Big Fatty and still think you can leave alive! From the moment he decided to gain the two loli NPCs’ favorability, Chen Mo never intended to let Cait leave. If this old man lived, and he met the two lolis again later, not only would the favorability he gained be voided, but he would probably be deeply disliked by them!
More importantly, knowing the old man had so many good items, how could he let him leave again!
Although Cait was an old man, in Chen Mo’s eyes, he was just like a BOSS—and a big bad BOSS at that. Killing him would rid the people of a scourge and achieve multiple goals at once!
And Cait indeed did not disappoint Chen Mo. After being sneak-attacked and killed by Chen Mo, another pile of potions dropped beside him!

Chen Mo could not contain his joy. Hahahaha, he really couldn’t be more clever!
Not only did he gain the two lolis’ favorability, but he also got double rewards in one move!
So crazy!
Not only that, but an old manual also dropped.
Cait’s Experiment Manual: Special item, cannot be traded or dropped.
