Chapter 163: Poison Mist Level 2
The RV continues traveling on the Rainforest Road at an average speed of 40 mph.
Going faster consumes electricity. Just completing the mission is fine; grinding mileage is not as good as gathering wool in the forest.
Looking at the service area distance shown in the mission bar, Yu Jiang is a bit curious about what the service area in the rainforest looks like.
At 2:40 p.m., a one-way road appears on the right side ahead.
Next to it is a wooden house with a very primitive feel, with a roof made directly from plant leaves. Even more amazing, the materials used for the wind chime-style decoration hanging at the door are poisonous insects. The style is quite unique.
Yu Jiang’s mouth corners pursed slightly, somewhat silent. No, the Alchemist profession Poison Master service area feels poor inside and out.
She gets out of the car and walks in. The inside is quite distinctive, with a layer of green oily grime still in the tetanus pot, and the walls full of bottles and jars.
The green-faced Monster NPC looks a bit familiar. Isn’t it the Monster Merchant who sold wild goose down before!
Seeing the doubt in Yu Jiang’s eyes, the Monster NPC calmly explains,
“There are only a few Poison Masters in total, and no one comes here. It’s a side job.”
Yu Jiang nods and probes, “Is this the only exclusive service area for us?”
“Of course not. There are others elsewhere, but getting in isn’t easy.” The Monster NPC has a proud expression,
“Some missions reward service area Teleportation Cards. Using one allows returning to the profession-exclusive service area for refuge for 1 hour. They can also be used in some instances.”
1 hour, exactly the potion Cooldown Time.
“So what do you sell here?” Yu Jiang raises her eyes and looks around. It’s really too simple. Surely they don’t sell those snake jerky, scorpion jerky, and centipede jerky hung up as accessories.
Met a worthy opponent. Don’t even know how to start gathering wool.
“Of course, the Poison Master’s exclusive little shop.” The Monster NPC waves a hand and opens the service area sales light screen,
“The supplies here randomly refresh, and sometimes you can take missions.”
Yu Jiang takes a look, and sure enough, the things sold are also explosive.
Mysterious Potion made from toad venom, selling price 50 Crystal Coins (may improve Stamina and Poison Resistance after use, or may poison for 24 hours. Non-Alchemist professions cannot improve Poison Resistance, poison probability increases to 95%)
Poisonous centipede, Medicinal Herbs, 10 Crystal Coins each (You can eat them directly if you want; fried they are quite fragrant.)
Poisonous insect specimen wind chimes, accessories, 50 Crystal Coins each (No special function, just good-looking)
Yu Jiang feels like her head is going to split. The Mysterious Potion can buy 10 portions. Drinking once didn’t give permanent buff effect, but she can continue drinking.
This thing is green and looks particularly thick, not like anything good.
Continuing to look down, the surprise is that there are two poisonous drugs she hasn’t collected, plus quite a few medicinal herbs she needs now.
Healing Potion, Popeye’s Spinach, Qi Replenishing Drink, Rainforest three-piece set (Heat Clearing Powder, Pain Relief Powder, Insect Bite Cream) required medicinal herbs are all available.
At the bottom are several locked question marks, prompting that Alchemist achievement needs to reach Level Six to purchase. These are fixed supplies that can only be bought once.
Yu Jiang buys everything she can, including the accessory wind chimes. 50 Crystal Coins isn’t much. What if it’s useful later and she didn’t buy it—that would be a big loss.
After paying, the passive ‘This Blood is Poisonous!’ mission progress advances a big step.

Still two short.
The money earned from selling medicine last night was all spent today at the service area, and she even added a bit more.
The Monster NPC happily watches Yu Jiang clear the light screen goods. The wind chimes were made by him. Someone actually appreciates his aesthetic!
Yu Jiang remembers that the green Monster Merchant likes desserts and takes out two small cakes bought from the restaurant last time to give to him.
“We’re kind of our own people now, no need to be polite.” Yu Jiang smiles.
The NPC’s Affection isn’t brushed for nothing. The green Monster Merchant’s Affection toward her reaches 80.
“I can’t take your things for nothing. This is for you.”
The NPC slaps a card glowing with green light on the table. “This is an Upgrade Card, Gold Quality. Skills that meet the usage conditions can directly level up by one. The service area only has one.”
Where is this a Monster NPC? This is clearly a great person!
Yu Jiang happily waves goodbye to the NPC, leaves the service area, and returns to the road.
The stay time in this service area cannot exceed 1 hour, and of course cannot park overnight.
Yu Jiang eagerly takes out the Upgrade Card. The usable ones are only the ongoing mission Poison Fog and the Healing skill.
Poison Rain level is too high and can no longer use the Upgrade Card.
Yu Jiang decisively stacks it onto the Poison Fog skill. Once lit, it’s directly Level 2 Poison Fog!
Thought the NPC would at most give her a Teleportation Card. Didn’t expect a royal flush.
Today’s 10-minute limited-time task was worth doing!
Around 5 p.m., Yu Jiang picks up two wooden boxes roadside and returns to the parallel road.
Opens the Team Channel, just about to ask the other teammates about their service area situation, when Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy @ her,
“Aah! Sister Jiang, thanks to you notifying me to do the mission, I upgraded my weapon in the service area! Control Duration increased. I super like the wandering artist service area!”
Lightning Mage King: “Me too! Weapon Charging Time shortened, and the Pig Herder became a bit more upscale. When using it, blue patterns light up on it.”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “As soon as I entered the service area, an NPC came out asking me if I wanted a gold axe, silver axe, or tetanus axe.”
Yu Jiang: “Which axe did you take?”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “Silver looks good, gold can blind others’ eyes when taken out, tetanus has great Daze effect. I couldn’t choose, so I said any is fine, the kind that looks very powerful at first glance.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang: “So what axe did you end up getting?”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “One with a gold handle, one silver, with heavy strike effect @X. What about you, Big Shot?”
X: “Took two missions, fought monsters for an hour, upgraded weapon Attack, and got an Achievement.”
Lightning Mage King: “Too ruthless. Big Shot’s profession is cool, but the upgrade difficulty is killer.”
Yu Jiang sends an agreeing sticker pack.
X: “@The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, got the Stinger you need.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang: “I have two here too.”
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “Me too.”
Several teammates successively send the things over. Now Yu Jiang has several more Stingers in hand. With team assistance, mission progress is still fast.
She herself opened a few Scorpions in two days.
Yu Jiang: “Thanks everyone. Later I’ll craft the medicine and send it to you all. Tell me if you need Crystal Coins.”
[Player has collected Scorpion Stinger (25/20), Golden Skin Tree Thorns (1/1). Skill ‘Poison Fog’ unlocked.]
Yu Jiang excitedly checks her third active skill, Poison Fog Level 2.
Area Damage. Target in Poison Fog for 5 seconds continuously, Attack -10%, Health Value -10, chance to trigger effect ‘Stinging eyes’ (eyes briefly painful, Defense -10%)
Level 1 Poison Fog Attack and Defense only -5%. Big difference against high-stat enemies.
Yu Jiang looks again at the Mysterious Potion bubbling green in the grid. She bought 10 portions. Permanent buff effect can only be obtained once per player.
The remaining potions can still be sold at high price to other Alchemists. Thinking of this, she smiles.
First Echelon Alchemists all have money and can pay the price.
The Trading Platform also has auction function.
