Chapter 134: Death Comes, Upgrade Successful
[Player: Su Ning]
Talents:
Scavenger: Scavenger’s Eye, Scavenger’s Backpack, Scavenger’s Poison
Self-Healer: Rapid wound recovery
Super Misfortune: Anyone who harbors hostility toward you will be plagued with misfortune, regardless of distance. The closer they are, the stronger the misfortune. If they develop killing intent, they will suffer even greater misfortune—the closer they are, the worse it gets.
Note: The bearer of “Super Misfortune” will also experience some misfortune. However, the bearer can condense this misfortune and use the “Crow’s Mouth” skill to transfer it to others!
Bloodline: Petrifying Medusa
Skills:
Perfect Aim, Mind Control, Beast Taming, Fox Spirit Dance, Disguise, Concealment, Crow’s Mouth!
Looking at her data panel, Su Ning was puzzled by the new talent and skill that had appeared.
But thinking back to the mysterious black energy that suddenly entered her body, it was clear that it was due to that energy that she had gained both the “Super Misfortune” talent and the “Crow’s Mouth” skill.
Although she still didn’t fully understand the “Super Misfortune” talent, once she saw its effects, Su Ning had no time for doubts.
“This Super Misfortune… it actually causes misfortune and bad luck from any distance?!”
Su Ning felt like she had just hit the jackpot.
She then recalled that the two enemies earlier mentioned retrieving Super Luck—so this Super Misfortune must have been the counterpart. They had come to retrieve Super Luck, but somehow she had ended up with Super Misfortune.
Looking at the shattered stone corpses, Su Ning had a bad feeling she had gotten herself entangled with some unknown force again.
Judging from their outfits, those two definitely weren’t normal players.
Su Ning frowned, “This world is getting more mysterious… It seems there’s a much bigger secret behind this game.”
But since she already had Super Misfortune, she might as well make the best of it.
Looking at Li Ming, who was still dazed under the effects of the Little White Flower title, Su Ning didn’t know what to say.
“His ‘Turning Misfortune into Fortune’ talent really is strong. If I weren’t here, he probably would’ve been taken away by those two.”
She thought of the artifact that nullified all talents and skills and immediately picked up the petrified orb.
“This could serve as a secret weapon. When facing powerful enemies, I can use it as a stealth tool.”
Once Su Ning deactivated her Little White Flower title, Li Ming snapped back to his senses.
“Huh? What just happened?”
He looked a little dazed. The last thing he remembered was Su Ning suddenly becoming extremely beautiful. Now looking at her again, she looked plain as usual.
After the nullifier was petrified, Su Ning had reactivated her Disguise skill to return to her ordinary appearance.
Li Ming quickly realized this was just a disguise.
Looking at the shattered remains of the enemies, Li Ming was still shaken.
“That was terrifying. I really thought I was going to die back there!”
Now that the enemies were dead, it was clear that Su Ning was the reason he had survived.
“Sister Su is so powerful… I wish I could become like her someday.”
With determination in his heart, Li Ming resolved to get stronger. He still needed to find his real sister, after all.
With the crisis over, Li Ming prepared to part ways with Su Ning so he could focus on improving himself.
“Sister Su, thank you for everything during this time. I need to go complete my dungeon kill tasks. Time is short, and I need to level up to get system rewards. I don’t want to hold you back.”
Su Ning respected his determination to grow stronger and didn’t stop him.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, then go for it.”
Li Ming took out his penguin communicator and smiled, “We can stay in touch no matter where we are, so there’s nothing to worry about!”
After watching him leave, Su Ning sighed, “Ah, there goes my lucky tool man. I wonder if I’ll still be able to find treasure chests without him.”
Especially now that she had Super Misfortune…
“I’m not sure how effective this talent really is…”
Outside the “Corpse Hell” Dungeon:
In the Xi family of the Second Shelter, Xi Yongfeng was eating dinner in his office when he suddenly choked. His face turned purple as he lost the ability to breathe.
He wanted to call for help, but he had ordered that no one disturb him unless it was urgent.
He struggled toward the door, almost reaching it to ask for help, but the lack of oxygen made him lose his balance.
His left foot tripped over his right, and he slammed his head into the corner of the wall, instantly knocking himself unconscious. With no one to help and the choking continuing, Xi Yongfeng, Director of the Second Shelter, died miserably.
A lifetime of prestige, only to be choked to death in the end.
What rotten luck.
Meanwhile, in the Fu family, also in the Second Shelter:
Fu Qingge’s mother was crying herself to sleep every day, having lost her precious daughter. Her hatred and killing intent toward Su Ning had only grown deeper.
That night, she was soaking in a bath. Due to the abundance of ice and snow, water wasn’t scarce.
Lying in the bathtub, she was thinking of ways to deal with Su Ning when a strange wind suddenly blew into the bathroom, making her shiver.
“What was that?”
Before she could react, her body suddenly cramped and stopped moving. Her body slipped underwater. She tried to call for help, but her mouth only filled with water. She couldn’t move.
The water in the tub bubbled ominously.
No one noticed this “accident,” and thus, Fu Qingge’s mother drowned silently in her bathtub.
Elsewhere, Fu Qingge was sparring with a friend to test his current combat abilities.
His right arm had been amputated, but he was now using condensed ice to replace the missing limb.
His opponent was using various machine guns, but Fu Qingge waved his hand and formed ice shields midair to block the bullets.
Just as he was continuing to explore his talent, a sudden chill ran down his neck.
Since awakening his Ice Talent, Fu Qingge hadn’t felt cold in a long time—but he definitely felt a cold dread just now.
The next second, his body stiffened, his powers failing to activate.
His ice shields vanished. His opponent’s machine gun bullets riddled him—
Blood splattered across the training ground.
“FU QINGGE—!!!”
Strange and deadly accidents began to occur one after another in the Second Shelter.
But Su Ning was completely unaware…
It was all caused by the effects of her new talent: Super Misfortune.
At this moment, Su Ning had just exited the Corpse Hell Dungeon.
Seven days had passed, and her Planting Space was about to finish upgrading.
Of course, Su Ning needed to properly prepare for the upgraded space.
[Ding! Item Upgrade Card has completed upgrading!]
“Finally—it’s done. Let’s see what the upgraded space looks like.”
She felt both curious and a little worried.
Upon entering the Planting Space, she immediately noticed a huge change. The space had tripled in size!
Even more surprisingly, a small water pool had appeared in the space.
“Could it be… a Spirit Spring?”
Su Ning got her hopes up—maybe her upgraded planting space came with a legendary spiritual spring!
But after examining it more closely, she sighed in disappointment.
It was just an ordinary water pool.
