Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game.

Chapter 39 Extra Bonus: Mermaid's Meat
The Fairy Lake Oath Scroll side quest is a very cost-effective one in the early stages of the game. It is not difficult to complete and the rewards are relatively good. After the quest is completed, you can choose two prizes from the treasure house of Snow Yashahime.

The treasure house of the lake master contains all kinds of good things. After completing the task, new players will first get a B+ grade sword "Brahma Pill" or an A grade curse tool "Shenbian Gui Poison Wine".

The former is a sword with four spiritual attributes: wind, fire, water, and earth, and comes with four powerful skills of different attributes;
The latter, namely "Shenbian Ghost Poison Wine", is an extremely powerful auxiliary item. When used on oneself, it can make one immune to poison damage, and can greatly weaken the damage to enemies with ghost attributes.

These are usually the rewards that novices would choose. If it were an old player like Bai Jie, he would not choose these two rewards.

The problem with the Brahmaru sword is that it consumes too much mana, which means it requires a powerful exorcist to use it effectively.

As long as you equip the Shenbian Gui Poison Wine, your health will be reduced and your endurance will also be reduced.

What Baijie needs to choose at this stage is the "reward" that is most beneficial to him.

"Regardless of whether I pass the trial or not, of the two rewards I can choose, I will definitely choose the 'Non-Time Fragrance Fruit' and the 'Shocked Earth Amulet'."

——Fei Shi Xiang Fruit, a magical fruit that can make people live longer in the legend of the island country.

However, in the game, the Non-Time Fragrance Fruit is one of the extremely rare species. It is a kind of enhancement item that can expand the upper limit of low-level attribute characters.

Simply put, in the game "Miracle of the Dark Moon", when you are fighting, you can choose different teammates in some battles. However, the star attribute panel of each teammate's character is different.

Some characters are just naturally weak and not worth spending resources on training.

However, the effect of the non-time fragrant fruit is to change this.

As for the Shrinking Earth Amulet, this thing can be regarded as a life-saving artifact in the early stage.

"With these two reward items, I've achieved some success in the 'Xianhu Secret Oath Scroll' side quest."

As he thought about this, he walked out of the tea room.

"As long as you defeat one of my followers, you will pass this trial."

Snow Yashahime smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave of her long sleeves, a gust of wind blew, scattering countless piles of snow.

boom! puff!
A large amount of water sprayed on the ground outside the tea room.

It's like digging up a hot spring to form a high-temperature fountain, with steam surging and a large amount of hot water spraying out. Unaffected by gravity, they turn into water balls of varying sizes, like bunches of grapes.

Then, the water balls connected together one by one and merged into a transparent water beast shaped like a Tang lion.

"It turns out to be 'Water Tiger'."

Bai Jie muttered softly, holding the seven-section spear in his right hand, and the equipment on his body was also reproduced in this world formed by mirage.

The so-called "water tiger" was originally a monster very similar to Kappa, living on the waterfront of rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans, etc.

However, in the game "Miracle of the Dark Moon", the water tiger is similar to the water element in the Western fantasy world, or the water elf. It is a supernatural creature whose body is constructed by water, and it is also a monster that the protagonist group encounters in the early stage of the team.

Mizutora's strength is very close to that of a demon-level monster. For Genin, it is often difficult to deal with it even with the combined efforts of several people. If one is not careful, a companion may be caught by Mizutora and drowned.

"This kind of monster, to put it bluntly, is more like a slime, an amorphous, slimy monster, made of water. It can move through any gap, no matter how narrow, and can even become invisible..."

They also eat humans, especially flesh that has been drained of blood. They capture a living person, drown them inside their watery bodies, and then eat them.

"For a demon exorcist, the water tiger is indeed very weak."

Yukiyaksha chuckled.

"But this water tiger under my command is much more powerful than ordinary wild water tigers. The water in its body is mixed with paralyzing poison. If you accidentally get some of it on you, or if you are caught by the water tiger and trapped in its body, the battle will be over in an instant."

The Lord Lake Master thought so, but he was secretly muttering in his heart.

"This is troublesome~~ The weakest of my followers is this Water Tiger. He's too weak, and even if I wanted to let him go, I couldn't find a suitable test subject..."

The Lord of Snow Yaksha Lake has always had powerful aquatic followers under his command, but there are too few weak ones. Considering the young man's meager spiritual power, he should have about a 60% chance of winning against this water tiger.

But he is also a legitimate good god, and it is somewhat difficult for him to give "trials" to mortals. It would not be good if he made it clear that Matthew was biased towards him.

Yuki Yashahime yawned like a lazy cat.

However, on the other hand, considering the "special" nature of the young man's identity, it is also one's obligation to provide him with assistance.

"Forget it. This is just a test. It's okay even if I fail. I can come up with some ideas to help him later."

At the same time, on the other side, Baijie felt relieved when he saw Shuihu appear.

"Great... The trial's enemy is a water tiger, so the difficulty is dramatically reduced."

He recalled the "cards" he had in his hand. If he dealt with ordinary monsters, as long as they were at the level of Yamao, he would have a hard time and his chances of winning would not be high.

However, Bai Jie didn't dare to say that he had a sure win now, and he had already made up his mind about this game.

"As long as I can deal with Shui Hu, I have enough strength now."

While he was thinking in his mind, Shuihu also took action. The monster came up and shot out several water blades.

This attack is similar to a high-pressure water gun. If you are hit by the water blade, you will be seriously injured, not to mention losing your hands or feet.

Baijie reacted immediately, rolling to the side to escape. The water blade also missed, severing several plum trees behind.

At this moment, the water tiger's body became increasingly transparent, and then it disappeared completely as if it were invisible.

The water tiger monster has the ability to become invisible, and unlike the invisibility that hinders cognition, this monster becomes invisible through optical camouflage.

"I knew you would use this trick."

Baijie pulled out the flash grenade from his belt and threw it high into the sky. It exploded with a bang, emitting a strong flash and sound from the air.

This is the "flash bomb" developed by the second lady Ge Hua using magic. It is a light stimulated by various talismans and minerals full of yang energy.

The strong light emitted during the flash also has the positive energy of "destroying evil and revealing righteousness". The moment the water tiger turned transparent and invisible, its true form was exposed.

Baijie used his spiritual power to strengthen his arms and threw the spear in his hand.

The spear pierced through Shuihu's body like lightning, but it was useless. The spear head pierced into the body of the slime-like monster. Since its body was made of water, it was naturally not injured.

"That's enough. At least your invisibility is sealed."

Baijie drew out his Chunin short sword and rushed forward desperately.

Mizutora fired several water blades, but he dodged them, and a few were deflected by the talismans on the ninja sword.

Baijie ran at full speed, spiritual power erupted from the soles of his feet, increasing his speed, and he rushed in front of Shuihu like lightning.

He didn't swing his sword, but instead extended his left hand and slapped Shuihu hard. No, to be more precise, it was the Devil-Breaking Cage Hand.

The next moment, the water tiger exploded like foam, and countless water splashes spread in all directions.

"A monster like the water tiger has no real life. It is essentially a ball of water condensed by supernatural power."

Baijie knew very well that Mizutora was more like an artificial Shikigami, a life driven by "magic" or supernatural power close to magic. In other words, it itself was a magical existence.

"As long as we use the Caged Hand of Demon Breaker and the Curse Returning Barrier, we can easily break this thing."

He whispered.

On the other side, Snow Yashahime was also a little surprised when she saw this scene.

"It's so easy to defeat Shuihu?"

It seems that my assessment of him is still too low.

There was a hint of smile hidden at the corner of the lake master's mouth.

……

"well done."

Yuki Yashahime sent him into the treasure house.

"Please select three items from the treasure vault. Haha, you've done better than I expected."

"Um, what is this extra bonus that the Lake Master mentioned?"

"We'll talk about that after you come back."

The lake owner gave a sly smile.

"Young man, you can keep looking forward to it."

……

"It's really mysterious, huh? An extra bonus?"

Baijie walked through an old door covered with moss and came to a treasure house filled with various treasures.

These are the treasures collected by the Dragon God Snow Yasha Princess, including gold, silver, pearls, agates, as well as night pearls, magatama, jade, gemstone ornaments... one after another piled up into small hills.

In addition, there are weapons such as famous swords, precious swords and armor collected by Xue Yasha, as well as various legendary curse tools, spiritual objects, and scrolls that seal powerful forbidden techniques.

"But these things don't mean anything to me."

Based on his experience in the game, Baijie found the two items he needed, namely the "Fei Shi Xiang Fruit" and the "Shrinking Amulet".

"Finally, you can choose a third reward."

He thought about it for a moment and then took out a colorful stone egg from the treasure house.

This stone egg contains a strong essence. It is an unhatched egg. It feels heavy in the hand and is wrapped with a rope... It is not very noticeable among the treasures, but Baijie knows the function of this thing.

"Dream Tapir Egg."

This egg contains a monster called "Dream-Eating Tapir". After hatching, this monster will become the Shikigami of its owner.

"This is a great item. In the game, the protagonist used this egg to enter the dream ruins called the 'Phantom Yamatai Kingdom' and retrieved many goodies from it."

After Baijie took out the three treasures, he returned through the moss-covered old door and returned to the tea room.

"Oh~~"

The lake owner noticed the stone egg that Baijie took out, and his eyes widened slightly.

"Kuku...you're quite picky, but I didn't expect you to choose that—"

"Yes."

Baijie bowed respectfully.

"Lord Lake Master, these three items are all I need."

"That's right."

Snow Yashahime smiled and said, "Also, I promised to give you an extra reward... Here, the thing is in this box."

She took out a small box and handed it over.

The box was sealed with a talisman, a completely incomprehensible talisman.

Baijie asked quickly out of caution.

"Excuse me, could you tell me what's in the box?"

"of course can."

The lake owner covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed.

"Inside the box is my treasure, the 'merman's flesh'."

Baijie was stunned for a moment, or rather, he didn't react.

"...Mermaid flesh...could it be the kind that can grant immortality..."

"You're right."

Yuki Yashahime sighed, "However, this is mermaid flesh that is about to lose its effectiveness. Eating it won't make you immortal, especially for you. If it were original mermaid flesh, you wouldn't be able to fully absorb the immortality it contains. You would turn into an ugly monster if you swallowed it."

She paused and looked at him seriously.

"Originally, mermaid flesh was cursed. Obtaining immortality comes at a huge price. I deliberately removed the curse, retaining only a portion of its power. This power allows your body to rapidly recover from any damage."

Of course, the lake owner Yuki Yashahime added that because it was incomplete mermaid meat, this recovery ability was also limited. If the head was blown up or the heart was pierced by a blow, Baijie would still die.

However, as long as the attack is not fatal, his body can slowly recover and heal.
