Chapter 113: Poison King
Shen nodded his head. "Yeah, we have a new member."
"So the new member chooses the skull symbol one?" ZhenZhen looked at the house with a worried expression. "Does the new member know what ss it is? I am worried the new member will reset the character when the ss is not up to his or her liking."
"There''s no need for you to worry. He knows what it is." Shen assured the cook.
"Hoo, so you know what ss it is?" It was a mystery what ss behind this house was, since no one knew it. It included the house with a hammer sign.
"It''s a poison maker-rted ss. The new member seems to have a peculiar hobby. He is a doctor in real life, but he said he is tired of healing people, so he wants to poison people in the game." Shen was telling the truth. That was what Doctor Lu Yao told him before.
ZhenZhen scrunched her forehead when she heard the motive of the new member to choose the ss. They got another weird member again. "But are you sure he is a doctor? I mean, he has a stable job and a high-earning job. Why would he quit the job for the game?"
This was still noon, and she assumed the people who yed at this time were the people who focused on the game. That meant it was the people who did not have a job in real life.
Shen shrugged his shoulders. "He said he saved enough money for him to retire early, so he did not y the game for the money. Speaking of him, what about you, Miss ZhenZhen? Didn''t you boast you are a professional cook as well? Why did you quit your stable job and y the game instead?" He rolled his eyes at the girl.
Once, ZhenZhen proposed for all of them to have a gathering. She invited all of them to her house as she did not forget to boast that she once worked in a high-end restaurant with something stars. She told them to not worry about food.
As soon as Shen brought that up, ZhenZhen looked away from Shen and looked toward the house instead. At this moment, the others had returned. Ming returned from hunting. Yue and the others just logged in after lunch break.
"Do we have a new member?" Ming came over and asked out. Shen repeated what he told ZhenZhen to the others. Sure enough, everyone but Dale and Yue had a strange expression when they heard the new member''s background.

"Bwahahahaha" The old manughed aloud after he heard a long answer from Doctor Lu Yao. This was the first time the old man heard someone said that he was bored healing the people, so he wanted to poison the people instead.
That was a crazy motive for sure, but the old man did not care. The answer satisfied him, and that was enough. "My name is Ori. You can call me Old Man Ori, or Master Ori. I don''t mind. And I like your answer, a little chaos for the word is not bad."
"I will not kill everyone, Master Ori. I am not a crazed murderer, but I will the people who I deem worthy of being killed." Doctor Lu Yao straightened things up. He indeed wanted to kill the people, but those people were his enemies.
Master Ori grinned ear to ear. Of course, he understood that, but lived in this world. He would have made many enemies. Especially for the Poison King. Everyone was afraid of the poisons, whether it was his allies or enemies.
[Ori the Poison King offered you his legacy! ept? Decline?]
[The Infamous Poison King''s Legacy]
ss: Poison King
Potential: Epic
Doctor Lu Yao immediately tapped the ept option. Luck was on his side as he managed to find this ss within a few days.
[You have epted The Infamous Poison King''s Legacy!]
[Congrattions! You have inherited the Epic ss, Poison King!]
[Congrattions! You have learned Poison King set skills!]
[Reminder! Don''t let the others know your ss, or you will be banned from entering the city!]
[You have unlocked Fame!]
[You have unlocked Infamy!]
Doctor Lu Yao did not know anything about fame and infamy, and he did not care either. If there was a second choice, he would still pick the same ss. He did not care about fame and infamy.
Doctor Lu Yao continued chatting with Master Ori for another hour. Most of the time, he was just a listener. He listened to the old man''s tales, what he did in the past, and how he ended up in this ce. It was a tragic story.
The old man was working for a family. He had used his poison for this family to kill the enemies. However, after the enemies disappeared, he became the family''s target. They immediately got rid of him as soon as he had no use for them. The reason was quite absurd as well. That noble family said they were afraid he would poison them to take their authority.
After listening to the old man''s story, the old man returned to a statue. He witnessed how the old man''s skin hardened from the bottom up to his torso. Before the old man''s face hardened, Master Ori smiled at him. "I will meet you every day during this time. Don''t bete, or I will have you taste my poison."
Doctor Lu Yao''s heart tightened when he heard thest part. From the old man''s disposition, Master will feed him poison if he is reallyte. "I should set up an rm every day from now on."
After giving himself a little reminder, Lu Yao opened his window status and checked his new skills. He had three skills, [Herb Appraisal], [Herb Gathering], and [Elementary Poison Concoction].
Lu Yao checked the skill one by one to understand what his skills did. It was pretty self-exnatory from the skill name. "What should I do now? Master Ori does not tell me to do something specific."
