Chapter 100: A New Member
Shen was panicked inside but he tried to maintain his calm facade outside. He did not want to make Lyra guilty that he lost his arm, "It's fine. I can grow it back once I return to the village,"
"Ah," Lyra nodded her head, "I forgot for a moment that you are coming from that miraculous village. I heard there's a sage that could heal anything from that village. There's no need for me to worry about you,"
'Huh? A sage?' Shen tried to recall all the classes in the village, and he was sure no class related to sage, 'Is she talking about the alchemist?' That was the only class that could make a healing potion.
Shen shook his head, "Now we only need Rotka Fruit," He stood up and looked toward Lyra, "Can you tell me where to find this Rotka Fruit? I will get the fruit for you,"
"That's enough, Shen. You have done enough for me," Lyra shook her head, "Rotka Fruit is not rare and can be found nearby. I can retrieve Rotka Fruit by myself,"
After saying that, the Blizzard Tiger turned toward her children. She seemed to talk with her children but he could not understand as Lyra was roaring at her children instead of talking like she talked to him.
After that, Lyra left the cave, leaving Shen and her three children. Shen then found out what she talked about to her children. She was telling her children to protect him. As soon as the mother tiger left the cave, the three kittens stood in front of him. The three kittens were standing in guard, scanning the surroundings with their eyes.
Shen shook his head and took out an Ice Vulture carcass. He threw it toward the three kittens. At the sight of food, the three kittens abandoned their posts and savored the Ice Vulture. At the same time, Shen also took out a roasted fish. The food might not be a healing potion but he hoped it could heal him.
Of course, he still had a healing potion. One healing potion was given to a new character when they started playing. It was a package with the Inferior Grade sword he had broken. However, he was not in a dire situation where he immediately needed to use the potion. Moreover, the inferior grade potion only healed thirty Hp. He felt that using the healing potion now was a waste so he saved the potion for later.
Shen ate the roasted fish quietly with just one hand. He was not used to doing things with one hand. It was so uncomfortable for sure but he bore it. The three kittens finished their meal faster than him, and then slept next to him.
Looking at the three kittens, the uncomfortableness was washed away. He felt that losing a hand was worth it.
Just like the Blizzard Tigger said, the Rotka Fruit was not something rare in the Vales. Lyra returned in less than minutes with a bunch of orange-colored fruits. The size of the fruit was double his fist.
At the sight of the fruit, Shen was relieved that they managed to gather the three components to heal Lyra, "What should we do with the three components? Do you eat it directly?"
"Of course, not," Lyra answered with a smile, "You sit there and watch. I allow you to watch the secret of the Blizzard Tiger Tribe, and I also have a reward for you,"
Without waiting for Shen's response, Lyra gathered the three components, "It's good that you brought three Ice Lotuses" He heard the mother tiger's mutter
The first thing Lyra did was to pluck the Ice Petal on Frost Lotus. There were nine petals, and she plucked three of them. She placed the three ice petals at one spot and opened her mouth. She breathed out frost breath but that was not normal frost breath. The frost breath swirled around on top of the Ice Petal.
After that, Lyra brought up the Ice Lotus. She squeezed the Ice Lotus, and he saw a drop of dew fall into the swirling frost breath. Then she squeezed three Rotka Fruits. The orange-colored juices fell into the swirling frost breath. This time there was a change in the color of the frost breath. It was no longer arctic-blue and turned a bit yellowy.
Then he witnessed three ice petals from the Frost Lotus absorb the yellowy frost breath. Slowly, the ice petal also changed its color into yellowy-blue. He could not describe the color correctly but he could see the ice-blue and the light yellow.
"It's done. I will eat this first then I will make more for you, Shen. This will benefit you a lot, my reward for you," Lyra smiled at Shen.

On the table in front of the respawn spot
"Runner replied to my message. He said that he was on a quest so he could not return to the village," Yue told Ming and Dale who were taking a break from the training. They were eating fish soup, the new menu developed by ZhenZhen.
"What? He replied to you?" Ming's focus was on the wrong thing. He was not asking about the quest but was more upset that Shen replied to Goddess Yue instead of him or Dale.
"You focus on the wrong thing, Ming," Brother Jiang shook his head and looked toward Goddess Yue, "Did he tell you about the quest? I meant we are in the middle of nowhere but how did Shen manage to find a quest?"
"That's what I want to discuss. If Shen was on a quest, that meant there was a city or a settlement in this place," Yue nodded her head as she scooped the fish soup into her mouth.
"Then we need to wait for his return. I hope there's another settlement or even a city so I can sell my dishes to earn money," ZhenZhen smiled as her finger formed a coin shape.
"I hope that's the case. The production class like us is more suitable in the city. Not only we can earn money but we need material as well or else we can't do anything," WealthyGuy agreed with ZhenZhen.
"Can you message him" ZhenZhen did not finish her words as she heard a burst of laughter from the respawn spot.
"Buahahahahaha!" The male laughter rang in the village, "My research is not in vain! I guessed it right there's a hidden place like this Buahahahaha"
There was a new guy who arrived at the hidden village.
