Another decent story ruined by a braindead MC. He eats a plant which only has a 5% chance of not killing or crippling the consumer, and he survives. Yay! He's not doomed anymore! He can slowly work on his cultivation, enter a good University, and- oh. He just ate two more of that plant.

He was scammed. The guy who sold it to him told him it was a 50% chance.

I'm not really upset that he risked death to save himself from an extremely poor situation. He's in a bad position, and his sister will die and he will be forced into a perilous lifestyle if he doesn't act quickly. He's ill informed, but frankly, I would be okay with him eating the first one, even if he did know it only had a 5% chance of survival - given the situation. I'm upset he did it a second time, despite being informed of the real statistic, and having found a way out of his situation. He ate the other two plants for no real reason!

I can understand why you might think that, but there is a factor you might not have thought of. The symptoms of flower poison ginseng involve massive tearing muscle pain. But when he took the first one, he had a headache and passed out. Not at all typical. So he can reasonably expect that he will continue to react the same. His odds are far higher than 5%. You might even say his risk is more like 5% instead.

If anything, having an atypical reaction to a drug is a bad thing! Yeah, he had some weird symptoms. That doesn't mean he should consume more of it to see what happens! If anything, it would be smarter of him to just consult with a physician or something.

Normally one might check with a doctor, but that stuff is illegal. He might think, it didn't poison me the first time, why would it suddenly poison me now?

That's pretty much what happened tbh. I do think it was a poor choice on his part, though.

Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX
