Chapter 95: Medusa Form, Cleansing… Cleansing Bread?
Su Ning was lying leisurely in a cozy space, enjoying a steaming hotpot.
The ingredients in the hotpot were bubbling, releasing a tantalizing aroma.
At the same time, Number 4 was busily preparing all sorts of delicious dishes.
This magical space not only maintained a pleasant temperature, shielding her completely from the harsh cold of the outside world—
The hotpot gurgled and bubbled, while Number 4 skillfully made dumplings.
And not just any dumplings—these were filled with chives and eggs, an incredibly savory combo.
Once the hotpot was done, the dumplings could be tossed into the remaining broth, soaking up the flavors and creating a whole new round of deliciousness.
Perhaps due to her talent, Su Ning’s appetite had significantly increased.
“I really don’t know if all players are like this. If so, then food might become a serious problem.”
Food was still a scarce resource—imagine a bunch of gluttons appearing out of nowhere. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
While pondering this, Su Ning contentedly finished her hearty meal.
Even in her post-meal downtime, Su Ning didn’t rest. She began sorting through the so-called “junk” she had collected from the [Interstellar Mining Site] dungeon.
The dungeon had many high-tech items unfamiliar to her, but she hadn’t hesitated to toss them all into her space anyway.
For example, the incomplete, limbless cyborgs—damaged from battles—now looked like nothing more than useless scrap.
However, like a skilled craftsman, Su Ning pieced together the broken parts as if playing with LEGO blocks. After a long effort, she managed to assemble a cyborg that looked rather presentable.
Since she couldn’t take cyborgs out of the space, she figured she’d have it manage and maintain the place—a useful addition.
After all, zombies No. 1 to No. 5 each had their own special abilities. Having them handle chores was a bit of a waste.
“Now that I have a cyborg servant, everything in here can run more smoothly.”
Gazing at the towering figure of the cyborg—at least a head taller than her—Su Ning gave it a fittingly bold name:
“From now on, you’ll be called… Gang-Gang!”
With that, Gang-Gang joined Honghong, Huahua, and Jiangjiang as a new member of the planting space crew.
These names really had a pattern—one syllable repeated twice.
Thus, the home service expert—Gang-Gang—made his official debut.
Speaking of Huahua, after devouring Fei Wenli, the flower finally bore fruit.
She had obtained a Skill Fruit.
[Medusa] Skill Fruit: Upon consumption, allows transformation into Medusa Form. Greatly boosts physical capabilities, grants snake control, and petrifies anyone who meets your gaze.
Without hesitation, Su Ning ate the skill fruit.
Her skill list gained a new entry.
[Player: Su Ning]
Talents:
Scavenger: Scavenger’s Backpack / Scavenger’s Eye / Scavenger’s Poison
Regeneration
Skills: Perfect Aim, Beast Taming, Mind Control, Spirit Fox Dance, Medusa
Taking a deep breath, she decided to boldly try out the Medusa skill.
As soon as she activated the ability, a strange and unfamiliar sensation swept through her—exciting, yet nerve-wracking.
Suddenly, she felt an indescribable itch on her scalp, as if countless tiny creatures were growing and wriggling rapidly.
But the feeling came and went in a flash, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
Su Ning could tell she had changed.
But she didn’t dare look in a mirror—her Medusa form differed significantly from Fei Wenli’s.
Fei Wenli had full control of her petrification powers, whereas Su Ning could only turn people who made eye contact with her into stone.
If she accidentally saw herself in a mirror, the consequences could be… dire.
She might even end up petrifying herself.
So after some thought, she asked Gang-Gang to take a few pictures for her.
Su Ning took the photos from Gang-Gang.
The moment she laid eyes on them, she was stunned by what she saw.
Once cold and ethereal like snow, Su Ning had transformed into a stunning, seductive enchantress!
In her Medusa form, she radiated a deadly beauty. Her charm had skyrocketed, and although her head was now covered in writhing snake hair exuding danger, when paired with her exquisite features, the result was hauntingly gorgeous.
Especially her eyes—light golden pupils like deep swirling vortices that seemed to pull at your very soul.
At the same time, Su Ning could clearly feel a surge of immense power flooding her body. She was growing stronger.
However, everything in this space was precious to her, so she couldn’t bear to test her combat abilities here.
Though curious, Su Ning restrained the urge to experiment.
Still, she could tell her Medusa form boosted her Scavenger’s Poison talent too.
Now she could control her snake-like hair at will—either releasing thick toxic mist or launching deadly venom attacks.
Looking at herself, Su Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “Now I’ve truly become a terrifying poisonous woman.”
Just as she was immersed in exploring her Medusa abilities, a sharp knock on the door broke the silence.
Su Ning was startled. Who could it be at a time like this?
Puzzled, she quickly deactivated the Medusa form.
Then she exited the space and walked quickly to the dorm door.
Standing outside was Zhang Li, her face full of worry.
Zhang Li spoke a bit awkwardly, “Su Ning, I… I need your help with something.”
Caught off guard, Su Ning asked directly, “What is it? Tell me.”
Zhang Li hesitated briefly, then said, “Um… it’s better if you come see for yourself.”
And so, Su Ning followed Zhang Li into the dorm room that once belonged to Jiang Nana.
Perhaps because Zhang Li had only recently moved in, the room was very simple—just two beds and a desk.
Lying on one bed was Zhao Fuqing, clutching his stomach in pain and looking extremely weak.
When he saw Su Ning and Zhang Li walk in, he trembled and said weakly, “Sister Zhang… Sister Su… Am I… am I going to die?”
Zhang Li quickly tried to calm him, “Don’t say nonsense. You just have an upset stomach.”
But Zhang Li was clearly at a loss too. She looked at Su Ning anxiously and asked, “Su Ning, please take a look—could there be something wrong with this food?”
Following Zhang Li’s finger, Su Ning’s gaze fell on a plate of bread-like food sitting on the desk.
Then Zhang Li explained the situation:
“In the last dungeon, Xiao Qing and I went into a task dungeon called [Gluttonous Feast]. After struggling for seven days, we managed to survive and complete the challenge.
When we left, we brought back some food from the dungeon.
I saw with my own eyes that the native NPCs were eating this stuff too, and none of them had any issues.
So why did Xiao Qing end up like this after eating it?”
Su Ning picked up a piece of bread and used Scavenger’s Eye to examine it.
[Cleansing Bread]:
As the name implies, this bread is used for cleansing the intestines.
The people of Gluttonous Star love food and eat a lot, so they take a piece of cleansing bread after meals to help digestion.
Do not overeat, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
Note: You don’t want a waterfall moment, do you?
Su Ning: …
