"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
"It's best not to," Yang Qinglan said.
"Why?" Both siblings looked at her.
Yang Qinglan picked up the Gospel book on the table, which had become ordinary and no longer emitted light. It had also lost its ability to float automatically and was now lying open on the table like an ordinary hardcover book.
The patterns and text on the paper were all gone. On the snow-white paper, there were traces of flames. These traces were strange, like some kind of writing.
"I'll be waiting for you in the past"—the three of them understood the meaning of this sentence at the same time.
"If the Holy Lord of Light could leave words on the 'Knights of the Bible,' he could surely also give revelation to the other Gospel holders. They may have already prepared sufficiently dangerous traps, waiting for us to come to them." Yang Qinglan ran her fingers over the words burned out on the book.
"What should I do? I don't want to be at the bottom and drag you all down!" Li Qianxia said in despair.
"Are you trying to avoid holding us back, or do you just think this is fun and want to try it out?" Li Changzhou glanced at her sideways.
"Pig head, pig brain, pig body, pig tail~, a good child who never picks at food~, sleeps until the sun is high in the sky every day~, never brushes teeth, never fights!" Li Qianxia's tactic was similar to whistling to change the subject.
While singing, she poked Li Changzhou's shoulder with two fingers, as if he were a pig, a keyboard, or an annoying guy.
Yang Qinglan smiled and said, "If your brother becomes stronger, you will become stronger too; if I become stronger, I can earn more game currency for you and give you more powerful skills to choose from."
"Brother Li? The nicknames you two use are disgusting!"
"......"
Yang Qinglan gave Li Changzhou a look that said: Your sister is your problem.
“To be honest,” Li Changzhou looked at the table, seemingly thinking, “as someone with a younger sister, I don’t really like being called ‘brother’ by… um… it’s a bit uncomfortable.”
“That’s right, that’s right, I’m the only one who can call you brother.” Li Qianxia hugged Li Changzhou’s arm and looked at Yang Qinglan provocatively.
Yang Qinglan decided to deal with the two of them herself.
"We're back! We're back!" Suddenly, a little radish and a butterfly appeared on the table.
They held hands, spinning around excitedly, as if...
"It's like when I was a kid, going to the market, and my brother would give me a music box to play a ring toss game." Li Qianxia nodded, quite satisfied with her analogy, and even added a touch of sentimentality.
"Little Radish, what's your mission?" Yang Qinglan asked.
"Hmm—" Little Radish needed to think for a moment, "Make trouble for Edison, but don't kill him."
"Is it finished?" Li Qianxia asked with concern.
If a Black Card player fails the main quest, they will be hunted down by three White Card players who also failed their main quests. If they don't kill the White Card players, neither of them can continue playing the game.
"We're done!" Little Carrot said proudly, hands on his hips. "Butterfly and I hid in the pile of stones on the railway tracks. When Edison was being chased by a wolf, we threw a stone at him from a kilometer away! It hit him on the forehead!"
“One thousand meters…” Even Yang Qinglan was speechless.
"What about the mission evaluation?" Li Changzhou asked.
“It’s still F!” Little Radish said matter-of-factly, not understanding why he asked that.
F... is one level lower than Li Changzhou's E, with only 5 points of value, worth 100 game coins.
Not to mention Yaochi, even Li Changzhou couldn't help but want to give Xiaoluobo some pocket money so that her life wouldn't be too hard, otherwise the animal protection organization would say he was abusing animals.
"Brother, Little Radish and Butterfly have been following us around, even though they're not very useful, let's still buy them something. I won't buy anything this time." Li Qianxia couldn't bear to watch any longer; she was really afraid that Little Radish and Butterfly would suddenly die.
“Alright!” Li Changzhou agreed wholeheartedly. “Little Radish and Little Butterfly, you two can choose a B-level or C-level skill, and we’ll cover the cost.”
No anti-theft
Little Radish covered her mouth, her big, anime-like eyes widening, and then...
"Great! Great! I'm going to be rich!" She held hands with the butterfly again and happily twirled around.
"Woo woo~" The butterfly was also very happy.
Given that the items were from 1880 and were rated F, they didn't have many options.
Little Radish chose Edison's phonograph magic trick, which can leave a three-second image in place while the real person becomes invisible during those three seconds, making it a great tool for escaping.
The butterfly chose the werewolf's pounce, which can propel it more than a hundred meters, making it excellent for escaping.
None of them were expensive, just C-level skills with many flaws. The total cost was 900 game coins, which Li Qianxia paid for with Li Changzhou's money.
"Don't keep the money, upgrade your skills," Yang Qinglan said to Li Changzhou, "Black Death and Photo Teleportation."
"good."
The Black Death's Descent is B+ grade, and it takes 3200 game coins to upgrade to A grade; Photo Teleport is A grade, and it takes 6400 to upgrade to A+ grade.
Total: 9600.
After Li Changzhou paid 900 game coins, he had 6835 left. Li Qianxia had 1950 and Yang Qinglan had 2750, for a total of 1950.
Subtracting the two, we get 1935.
The A-rank Black Reaper descends with an additional 'soul-stealing' effect. Those killed will have their souls stolen and become slaves of the Reaper, up to three at a time, lasting for ten minutes.
A+ level photo teleportation no longer consumes intelligence. You can teleport directly to places you've visited using photos without needing to look at the photos again.
"S-level photo transmission might not even require photos anymore; it could be done directly," Li Changzhou said expectantly.
Then you can go wherever you want!
