The moment the mud came into her hand, its purpose immediately surfaced in her mind.

Bai Youwei poked at it.

Soft and squishy, quite elastic, somewhat like the modeling clay children play with, just with a more dismal color—dark and murky.

But considering its incredibly powerful effects, Bai Youwei still carefully put the mud into her bag, placing it together with the toy gun and plush rabbit.

Thinking about it, it was quite comical—the rewards this game issued all carried a childlike quality.

She looked up at the front. Shen Mo and Teacher Cheng had both gotten out of the car.

Houzi and Tan Xiao also got out immediately.

Each of them held a lump of mud, looking at each other with extremely complex expressions on their faces. Like震撼 mixed with a daze after escaping death, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Shen Mo checked on the others in their convoy as usual.

——Unsurprisingly, those who hadn’t cleared the game had all turned into dolls.

“Has Earth been occupied by some interdimensional demon king?” Tan Xiao’s face was full of disbelief. “This game is too evil. This lump of mud it gave us can make wounds heal quickly. No wonder the frog’s injuries healed so fast!”

He brought the mud to his nose and sniffed. No particular smell.

Then he opened his mouth to bite it with his teeth. The mud was like a rubber band, extremely tough—he couldn’t bite through it.

“How do you use this thing?” Tan Xiao asked in confusion.

Teacher Cheng said: “Does it only work when applied to a wound?”

Teacher Cheng had hit his head in the game. Though he hadn’t bled much, the wound was bruised and swollen into a large lump.

He raised the mud and pressed it against his head.

The mud’s color immediately faded, changing from black to dark gray.

“Ah…” Teacher Cheng removed the mud in bewilderment. “The usage count changed to eight.”

“Old man! Your bump is gone!” Tan Xiao’s eyes widened. He couldn’t help reaching out to touch Teacher Cheng’s head. “It’s really healed! Nothing wrong at all. Even your wrinkles decreased!”

Teacher Cheng grinned, also touching his own head. “…Really? I also feel like it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Holy crap, this is too awesome, incredibly awesome!” Tan Xiao was extremely excited. “Invincible!”

A scoffing laugh came from the car.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Bai Youwei leaning against the car window, propping her chin as she watched them.

Though she hadn’t said a word, her eyes practically spelled out the word “stupid” blatantly—using up one life-saving opportunity on a bump, you guys are really so great~

Everyone felt somewhat sheepish.

Shen Mo silently glanced at her, then looked up and asked Tan Xiao: “What about the badge? What’s its use?”

Everyone startled.

Right, the person who found the golden ball also received a “Princess’s Friend” friendship badge besides the mud.

The mud could heal injuries. What purpose did the badge serve?

Tan Xiao scratched the back of his head, his expression confused. “I don’t know…”

After speaking, seeing everyone still looking at him, he immediately became anxious. “What? You don’t believe me? Why would I lie to you! I really don’t know! This badge only told me that I helped the princess find her lost golden ball, so from now on I’m the princess’s friend! Who knows what use being friends with a princess has!”

He took out that golden badge and raised three fingers: “Don’t doubt me! I’ve roamed the world, and what I hate most is being wrongly accused! At worst I’ll swear an oath!”

Teacher Cheng quickly said: “We believe you, believe you! Everyone just finds it strange.”

Only then did Tan Xiao lower his hand.

He gripped the badge, and somehow, unconsciously glanced at Bai Youwei, as if wanting to ask but not quite daring.

Bai Youwei narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: “Keep it. Maybe in the next game, you’ll need your princess to save your life.”

Hearing this, Tan Xiao’s hair stood on end and he shuddered violently!

He nearly threw the badge away!
