"Herta?"
Seeing the wretched state of Herta and Screwllum, Fu Zhu and the others immediately went over and helped them into chairs.
Fu Zhu quickly took out Golden Apples and Regeneration Potions, pushing the apples towards them and urging them to eat.
But neither of them had the strength to eat. Fu Zhu had no choice but to open a bottle of Regeneration Potion, pry open Herta's jaw, and press the bottle to her lips, letting the potion slowly trickle into her mouth.
As for Screwllum, Fu Zhu looked him up and down, unsure how to feed a potion to an Intellitron. He decided to process the Regeneration Potion into a splash form and tossed it directly onto him.
The effects of the Regeneration Potion were significant. Shortly after drinking it, the burn marks on Herta's face began to fade, and her somewhat withered hair regained some of its luster. She looked much more spirited.
Screwllum's condition also improved considerably. Although it was impossible to gauge his physical state from his outward appearance, he was at least able to speak his first words since they met again.
"Thank you… Your potion is truly miraculous. It can even repair damage to an Intellitron."
After saying this, Screwllum fell silent again, closing his eyes to rest as the potion continued to repair the damage to his body.
Herta, however, couldn't sit still. Disregarding her injuries, she stared at Fu Zhu with wide eyes and said, "Getting back to what we were talking about, Fu Zhu, I'm afraid you're about to become famous!"
"You should rest first! I'd rather not have that sentence become your last words!"
Fu Zhu retorted as he squatted to the side, continuously stuffing healing potions into a brewing stand and processing them into splash form.
Herta wanted to say more, but Fu Zhu directly stuffed a Golden Apple into her mouth. Since her injuries hadn't fully healed, she didn't have the strength to chew and swallow on her own. She could only glare at Fu Zhu to vent her dissatisfaction.
Once Fu Zhu finished processing all the healing potions, he took them out and threw them all at Herta and Screwllum.
As the potions seeped through their clothes, their garments inevitably became soaked.
Screwllum was fine; being an Intellitron, he didn't care about such things.
Herta, however, was in a bit of an awkward situation. The long dress and tights she was wearing started to become somewhat transparent. Fortunately, Asta quickly grabbed a coat and draped it over her. The other male members of the group had also averted their eyes when Fu Zhu first started throwing the potions, which made Herta feel slightly better.
Even so, she didn't forget to shoot Fu Zhu another glare.
Feeling unjustly glared at, Fu Zhu flicked Herta on the forehead. Herta let out a pained whimper and glared at him again, even more fiercely this time.
"Hey, I saved you! Why are you looking at me like that?!"
Fu Zhu complained as he reached out and took the Golden Apple from Herta's mouth.
Once she was free to speak, a torrent of words poured out of Herta's mouth like a machine gun.
"That's no way to treat a lady! Couldn't you have just put the potion in my mouth? Did you have to throw it all over me?"
Fu Zhu simply rolled his eyes.
"This is called the optimal solution, got it?!"
Turning the healing potions into splash potions not only saved materials but also time. What if Screwllum or Herta had suddenly kicked the bucket while he was brewing?
Using splash potions allowed him to treat multiple targets at once!
Herta pouted, offering no further argument. Instead, she turned her head away and muttered softly, "Well, thank you."
"Hm?!"
Fu Zhu's spirits lifted. He immediately took out his phone, activated the recording function, and held it to Herta's mouth.
"I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say that again? I want to use it as my notification sound."
Herta's face flushed red. Just as she was about to say something, another phone was thrust towards her mouth. She looked up and saw Stelle, her eyes sparkling just like her brother's.
These damnable siblings!
Herta's face turned beet red. Finally, in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, she repeated herself.
"Thank you…"
Then, she immediately raised her voice, feigning composure as she said, "Getting back to business, Fu Zhu, you're probably going to be famous soon!"
Fu Zhu contentedly put away his phone, carefully saving the recording, before asking with a puzzled expression, "Why?"
Herta cleared her throat and began to recount her experience.
"Back then, Screwllum and I linked with Nous, but we couldn't find any solution to defeat the Ender Dragon there. Fortunately, you managed to solve it yourself in the end. Not long after that, we and Nous were forced to watch that poem.
"After the poem ended, we received a message from Nous. We were shocked to discover that the poem had broadcast across the entire universe. Whether they were ordinary people or Aeons, everyone was forced to watch it. Moreover, it's like a memetic virus; it has left an indelible brand inside everyone's body!"
Herta's words made everyone present suck in a sharp breath.
Jing Yuan and Feixiao immediately began to scan their bodies for any abnormalities, but they found nothing. They couldn't find any trace of the End Poem, which left them confused.
This wasn't what Herta had described!
Jing Yuan voiced his discovery directly.
"Madam Herta, we haven't found the so-called brand you mentioned in our bodies. What's going on?"
"It's perfectly normal that you can't find it! Because this 'brand' is different. Its effect is to make it impossible for anyone to forget this memory. Nous tried to erase this data, but it failed! Now do you understand why I said you're going to be famous?"
After hearing Herta's explanation, everyone gasped again, turning to look at Fu Zhu with eyes full of concern.
Just as Fu Zhu was processing this information, a piece of white paper was suddenly presented before him. He looked up and saw Stelle, a wide grin on her face.
"Big Bro, you're a huge celebrity now. Quick, give me an autograph. This first one is definitely going to be worth a fortune!"
Mydei, standing nearby, was stunned when he heard Stelle's words.
"Seriously, is that the first thing you think of at a time like this?!"
"So what if it is!" Stelle raised her chin and said, "No matter what happens, we'll always be by my big bro's side. As long as we're together, we can get through anything!"
"That's right."
Himeko was the first to step forward in agreement. She smiled and placed a hand on Fu Zhu's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll use all of my connections to minimize the risks from this incident as much as possible."
Then, March 7th, Dan Heng, and Welt also placed their hands on Fu Zhu's shoulder.
"We'll face this with you too."
Fu Zhu smiled and nodded. Although he didn't think it was a big deal, the concern from his companions warmed his heart.
"Mhm. But instead of worrying about this now, why don't we go have a victory feast first?"
