996: [General!]

The mechanical sound of 996 was raised. This was almost equivalent to immortality, a top-level ability in the normal world, not to mention in a world like this where monsters and humans were fighting each other.

Is this normal?

I really can’t stand 996 anymore.

Chen Zui: [This ability can only heal oneself. It would be considered top-tier if it could also heal others. Right now, it's just average.]

His tone was really critical.

996 was shocked by his idea. He was really bold.

Chen Zui: [You can heal others, so you guys in the bookstore should be able to do that too.]

996 didn't want to be looked down upon by him anymore: [Of course I can, but...]

Before it could even finish its sentence, "You're not worthy," Chen Zui interrupted it: "Since you can do it, I still want this ability."

996 is really infuriating to hear him laugh. Do you think this kind of ability is like cabbage on the street, you can just take it if you want it? This is the person who cooperates with the Dark Bookstore. He really dares to ask for too much and is insatiable!

996 sneered: [You are not qualified to obtain this ability.]

This sentence did not provoke Chen Zui's anger. He was not the type of person who got angry easily. In his opinion, getting angry was the most useless behavior. It would not only fail to hurt the other person but also make himself angry. Therefore, he was used to solving problems with practical actions.

So his actual action is: [You said before that the protagonist is Su He.]

996 didn't realize at this moment that he had been played around by Chen Zui. He could even spare some time to look at Chen Zui's little octopus image, which was a little too cute. He wanted to make this little octopus his own virtual image.

Chen Zui had the body of a small octopus, with large, round eyes, very different from his own ambitious eyes. Now, these large, watery eyes revealed a determined and evil smile: [If you don't give me this ability, I will kill Su He right now.]

996:!!!

The little octopus twisted its body and was about to go back to the city to find Su He and turn him into a fresh corpse.

996 was stunned for a while because of his action before he came to his senses.

[You, you, you... don't mess around. If you continue like this, I'll electrocute you!] It swore. It had originally intended to get along with Chen Zui as peacefully as possible. After experiencing Li Jingtang and Chen Yan, it decided to adopt a conciliatory policy.

But this Chen is the one who forces him the most!

Chen Zui didn't care about its threat at all: "Unless you can electrocute me to death, or use electric shock to affect my ability to move, I can kill Su He. Do you dare to bet?"

The little octopus stopped and rubbed its tentacles up and down, like a handsome snap of its fingers.

[If you lose, you have to compensate me more...]

996 couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted him at the top of his lungs: [Who wants to bet with you?!]

If it continues like this, it will not only go bankrupt but will also have to take out loans.

Chen Zui: [Alright, don't lose your temper. For the sake of our past collaboration, I can back off and not make the bet with you. If you also back off and give me the ability to heal others, I won't kill Su He.]

996: Why is he so merciful? But why do I feel relieved...

At this moment, its reaction was actually that it was afraid that Chen Zui would go back on his word, so it quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right away."

I almost blurted out "my ancestors" and worked hard to collect all my points...

Chen Zui's goal was achieved. In this world, having the ability to heal others was simply the existence of a god. He raised a tentacle and pinched his round chin.

In the woods at night, I saw a little octopus thinking.

Chen Zui just felt that it was a rare opportunity to come to such a world, to have such abilities, and to have a system that could provide infinite possibilities at any time.

I can call the wind and rain at will.

The mechanical voice of 996 revealed a feeling of near-death: "Okay, I'll install it for you now."

Chen Zui: Sure enough, they can do almost everything.

With the prompt sounds of 50%, 70%, and 100%, Chen Zui gained the ability to heal others. Of course, he still had to try it. Chen Zui's eyes fell on the corpse on the ground.

996: [Corpses are not allowed! Dead people are not allowed!]

Chen Zui: [You have become more perceptive now, but there is still room for improvement.]

996: ...was I being praised? Or was I being scolded?

The little octopus jumped back, its figure revealing happiness. It swung its tentacles towards the guardrail, and it shot up like a pink cannonball. When it stopped, its round head shook a few times.

He jumped up and knocked on the car window twice with his tentacles.

After a while, the car window rolled down and Chen Zui jumped in. As luck would have it, he jumped directly onto Ren Feng's good brother.

Chen Zui jumped again and changed his position.

Ren Feng was somewhat surprised that he had returned so quickly and looked clean. Was there no battle tonight? It seemed that not only had there been no battle, but something good had happened. He could sense a sense of happiness emanating from the little octopus.

Chen Zui used one tentacle to roll out a dagger from Ren Feng's trouser pocket that was bigger than him, and then used another tentacle to roll around his fingers.

It was obvious what he was going to do.

Chen Zui glanced at Ren Feng, but Ren Feng had no intention of stopping him.

This satisfied him.

So he controlled the dagger without hesitation and cut Ren Feng's finger. Bright red blood flowed out. Chen Zui let go of the dagger and placed the tentacle on the wound. Something secreted from the suction cup and fell on the wound. When he took the tentacle away, the wound had completely healed. It took less than a minute.

Chen Zui rubbed Ren Feng's fingers with his tentacles, and there was no trace of the wound.

The effect is still very powerful.

996: [Not bad, right?]

I can at least give you a compliment this time.

Chen Zui: [Achieving this effect is the most basic.]

996: ...He is so stingy!

Ren Feng looked at the healed finger in surprise, then looked at Chen Zui. The little octopus's behavior just now seemed to confirm that he could heal the wound. Could this be an ability he had just acquired?

How to get it?

Is it the monster's ability?

Ren Feng: "You are so awesome."

He was such a rough guy that he couldn't help but raise his voice a little every time he spoke to Chen Zui, and his tone was always like coaxing a child, which was really a bit corny to Chen Zui.

When 996 heard Ren Feng’s praise for Chen Zui, it regretted it. It should have been bound to Ren Feng. The protagonist in this world looked like a normal person!

Chen Zui had a good harvest tonight so he didn't go out hunting again, but stayed in the car and slept soundly.

It was still bustling outside. The car they were hiding in was in the traffic. Neither the man nor the octopus made any sound and did not attract the attention of any monsters. They spent the night peacefully.

We continued our journey the next day.

Chen Zui rolled his eyes and searched. He had to find a suitable set of clothes. He couldn't be without clothes every time he returned to human form.

——

Li Yi has regained consciousness, but facing the half of his leg left, the gloom and sadness between his brows could not be dispelled.

Li Shou passed a rope through a mattress so that he could drag Li Yi on his way.

When he explained this to Li Yi, Li Yi refused to accept it and became furious: "No need! I can walk on my own!"

As if to prove that he was not a loser, Li Yi struggled to get up by holding onto the wall. However, he had just lost a leg, and for a moment he was not used to how to keep his balance with only one leg. After crawling for a long time, he not only failed to get up but also fell down. The wound on his broken leg hit the ground, and the pain was excruciating.

Su He frowned at the side, and then squatted down to help Li Yi with concern in the next second. Li Yi, defeated by reality, could not accept that he had become like this. Fear and unwillingness made him lose control for a moment and he pushed Su He away with force.

"Get out! Don't touch me!"

Su He fell heavily to the ground, tears immediately falling, feeling aggrieved and forbearing.

Li Shou couldn't bear to see the person he loved being innocently implicated, so he ran to Su He and helped him up, hugging him: "Brother! How could you hit He He!"

"You just lost a leg! He He is crying!"

Li Yi realized what he had just done after being yelled at by him, and looked at Su He guiltily.

Before he could speak, Su He was already understanding: "It's okay, don't blame brother Yi, he is also feeling bad."

Tears fell like rain.

The atmosphere in the three-person room was so dull and depressing that it was almost suffocating.

An hour later, Li Shou supported Li Yi, who was on one leg, and followed Su He down the stairs. Both of them were struggling. Li Shou was already drenched in sweat just by going down the stairs. When they got outside, the sunlight on the ground almost melted the road surface. There was no end in sight, and monsters appeared from time to time.

Li Shou looked gloomy.

He was not very careful. Although he tried to slow down as much as possible to take care of Li Yi, he would occasionally forget the other party's inconvenience. At this moment, he stepped over the fallen tree trunk. Li Yi did not say a word, gritted his teeth and prepared to jump over, but was knocked down by Li Shou who was passing by and fell on the tree trunk. This fall almost brought Li Shou down with him.

Li Yi was swept by shame: "If you don't want to help me, don't help me!"

Li Shou clearly didn't think so. He just felt wronged that he had been taking care of him all this time, but he was wronged by him. He was so angry that he got up and kicked the tree: "It's not my fault you're doing this! Why are you angry at me!"

He kicked the tree trunks in half and cursed, "Damn it!"

Su He looked at the two brothers who were quarreling. With Li Shou's temper, it wouldn't be long before he couldn't stand Li Yi anymore. Then they would be able to abandon such a burden, and he would just have to accept this matter reluctantly.

He didn't say anything, didn't try to stop the fight, just cried silently.

Chen Zui: [Don’t humans in this world have superpowers? ]

He was on Ren Feng's head, communicating with 996 in his head.

996: [Yes, but it will take some time for him to awaken. Ren Feng's abilities are water and fire, and later he also gained lightning abilities, making him the most powerful human. Yue Xuan]

Chen Zui heard that Ren Feng’s special ability was water, and he liked this ability.

It took them a whole day to reach the end of the traffic on the road. They didn't go any further because there seemed to be no place to hide ahead.

Ren Feng drank some water, ate a biscuit, and brushed his teeth, but didn't wash his face.

He watched the little octopus disappear into the woods. The little guy was quite busy and went out every night. While the little guy was away, he took out the gift the little guy gave him and planned to try it out.

Chen Zui circled back in the woods and returned to the driveway. He came to the car he had marked during the day and got in.

The car door opened, and Chen Zui in human form got out of the car, wearing a clean white T-shirt and washed-out jeans, and exuding the youthful vitality of a man.

Ren Feng, who was enjoying his gift, heard a knock on the car window and was surprised that the little octopus had returned so quickly, but he was currently...

Never mind, the other party is just a small octopus.

He rolled down the car window and met the gaze of a handsome face and a pair of aggressive eyes.

Next second.

The gift is full.
