What if I'm a Bad Artist? I Lie Down and Win with a Divine Brush

After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...

Chapter 23 Receiving the Talisman and Getting Overwhelmed

Just as Xi Xi, who couldn't straighten her back, was about to start cursing, she heard a system voice in her ear.

[Those who smile often have good luck - Congratulations on obtaining the extra effect bonus of the , your luck will permanently increase by 1]

Huh? Huh? Luck permanently +1!? Xi Xi was stunned. Some unpleasant words were stuck in her throat, but she swallowed them back with great pride.

"Alright, then I won't scold you for now..." Xi Xi looked at the [Luck: 6 (+5)] on her personal panel in disbelief, and sighed silently. She then opened the second transaction interface. She had originally thought that the talisman was too useless.

Congratulations on obtaining a Car Lighting Charm *1

[Item Description: One-time consumable. Automatically generates a lamp set upon use.]

It seemed rather ordinary, and Xi Xi calmly lit the talisman.

As the light particle effect dissipates, a brand-new lighting combination appears before our eyes. Its simple and understated appearance complements the clean interior of the car, creating a harmonious look.

At first glance, there was nothing special about it. Xi Xi tried to find the switch but to no avail. Then she quickly realized that these small lights were controlled by the central control screen.

The light emitted by the lamp far exceeded her expectations, much brighter than the small USB rechargeable desk lamp she had casually bought at the convenience store.

Moreover, these small lights also have the function of adjusting brightness and color temperature, and the range of settings is quite extensive.

With a gentle press of the small button next to the switch, the light can freely switch between soft warm yellow and bright cool white, from a dim night light mode to a bright reading light mode, with multiple transitional levels in between, just like the morning light and sunset in the changing seasons. It not only meets the light needs at different times of the day, but also adds a sense of layering and ambiance to the car's interior environment.

"It's alright, nothing special," Xi Xi nodded in satisfaction, then opened the third transaction collection interface.

Congratulations on obtaining Invisibility Charm *1

[Item Description: Single-use consumable. Grants temporary invisibility for 3 minutes, but only blocks the vision of nearby living beings; their senses of smell, hearing, and touch remain.]

Hmm? This thing sounds interesting. Xi Xi tilted her head, rubbing the stray hairs by her ear as she pondered silently.

It can only block the vision of surrounding life, while the senses of smell, hearing and touch still exist. This shows that this invisibility law does not actually make the user disappear into thin air, but rather makes the user difficult to detect or notice in some way.

Whether used for self-protection, to avoid danger and escape pursuit, or to actively infiltrate and secretly investigate, this talisman is a rare treasure!

Xi Xi happily folded the talisman, carefully stuffed it into her pants pocket, and then opened the fourth transaction collection interface.

Congratulations on obtaining a Cleansing Charm*1

[Item Description: Single-use consumable. After use, all of the user's belongings will receive a thorough cleaning.]

Although this talisman isn't very effective, it's still passable.

Although Xi Xi is not a germaphobe, she still feels that washing pots and pans after cooking is too wasteful of water, but not washing them is too messy.

If the acquisition rate of this talisman is high, it might even be useful as a dishwasher. With that thought in mind, Xi Xi turned off the light screen.

She doesn't plan to continue selling stone weapons for the time being, since night will continue to fall.

Currently, the level of terror at night is far greater than during the day, so the demand for weapons at night may also be much higher than during the day.

In addition, as the old saying goes, things are valued for their rarity, and she must grasp the right degree of "rarity".

Even so, Xi Xi still felt a strong urge to collect the talismans. To be honest, she was a little obsessed with collecting them now. This unknown magical feeling was more captivating to her than the other supplies in the treasure chests, and she couldn't help but feel a little more eager to get them.

After finishing these tasks, Xi Xi began another day's journey. She cheerfully steered the wheel, driving smoothly along the road.

The morning sunlight, like scattered gold, streamed through the car window and gently fell on Xi Xi's delicate face. At the same time, she reached out with one hand, tore open a bag of cookies, and casually stuffed them into her mouth to chew.

The bag of cookies looked ordinary, but when Xi Xi took her first bite, she found the taste to be surprisingly good. The cookies were crispy and savory, with a milky and wheaty flavor that instantly filled her mouth. Xi Xi couldn't help but glance at the packaging a few more times.

However, the only downside was that eating just biscuits seemed a bit too thirsty, so Xi Xi had to drink a few more sips of water to relieve the dryness in her throat.

Breakfast was just something to get by. I don't know how much time passed, but the morning sunlight, which had initially carried a hint of freshness, grew hotter and hotter as time went on, as if it were trying to sear the whole world, gradually turning into an unbearable heat.

The sunlight relentlessly pierced through the clouds, shining down on the earth like a burning flame. Everything seemed to be placed in a giant steamer, unbearably hot and humid.

However, such a scene was obviously not surprising to Xi Xi, who had experienced extreme heat in her previous life, and was even used to it.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her right hand quickly and accurately reached for the storage box next to her, and just like yesterday, skillfully took out the sunglasses and put them on.

While racking her brains about what to draw with the magic brush today, Xi Xi searched for treasure chests like a radar. Before she knew it, the car had reached a fork in the road.

Xi Xi had no choice but to stop. She looked at the road in front of her, which stretched out to the left and right like two giant pythons, and was immediately troubled.

Since the destination is Dongli, the highest peak in the East, it is naturally more advantageous to be closer to the due east direction.

She peered at the sun's position, then took out her phone and tried to open the built-in compass app to determine the exact location.

When Xi Xi turned on her phone, she was genuinely surprised to find that it had over 70% battery remaining.

In the past, when I used my phone every day, I always felt that the battery would drain very quickly. But now, without any network, most of the phone's functions are completely useless, and the battery has become a "consumable item".

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Upon opening the phone, the red pointer of the built-in compass spun rapidly like a top, making it impossible to determine any direction. Full of suspicion, Xi Xi turned off the screen. Was the magnetic field in the game world really chaotic?

"Never mind, men on the left and women on the right, let's go right then!" Xi Xi turned the steering wheel and resolutely drove onto the right-hand road.

Whether it was because her luck was really on her side today or not, she soon found a wooden beginner treasure chest in the middle of the road.

Xi Xi gripped the light-bladed scythe and cautiously got out of the car. Fortunately, everything was normal and nothing unexpected happened. She picked up the treasure chest with one arm and was about to walk back when she turned her head and saw a faint green phantom in the distance, which looked particularly abrupt in the desolate desert.

"What is that...?" Xi Xi murmured in shock.
