"You? You're running a gambling operation in the training room?" Shi Yin's eyes widened in shock. "Are you kidding me? Do you even know what's forbidden in the Yanlong Kingdom?"
"Of course I know, of course I know." Lin Beiyue suddenly popped up from the side: "I am mortal with gambling and drugs, so I have never been to the arena."
Shi Yin: "..."
What about the first character?
"So what exactly are you doing?" Shi Yin looked at the arena, where the crowd below was in high spirits.
This arena was originally meant for people with grudges to fight. Don't settle things privately; bring your conflicts to the arena, and life or death doesn't matter. Kill one person and you're done.
What is this now? How is this considered a place to earn points?
"Don't look at me, it was Nan Zhu's idea. He said it would help to motivate everyone." Lin Beiyue hooked her arm around Shi Yin's neck and said with a grin, "Besides, we need to establish our authority. If you directly select us into the Shadow Squad, many people will be dissatisfied."
“What’s there to complain about? It’s not like it’s a good thing.” Shi Yin frowned: “Your mortality rate is much higher than theirs.”
"Oh dear, don't say such discouraging things, it's scary." Lin Beiyue quickly covered Shi Yin's mouth: "We will try our best not to die."
Don't bring up the mortality rate so easily. Although they say they are prepared to die, they are still very scared when they actually think about it.
On the stage, the battle could have ended long ago; it was an overwhelming victory.
The man known as Brother Bear was broad-shouldered and burly, which really suited his name. He was estimated to be 1.9 meters tall, with strong muscles all over his body and even dark skin. He really looked like a bear.
Ji Chuan, on the other hand, seemed much weaker in terms of presence. He was half a head shorter than Xiong Ge, and Ji Chuan had a smaller frame and a more slender build, so he didn't look particularly imposing.
To the naked eye, if it were before the apocalypse, anyone who wasn't an idiot, even a ghost, would bet on Brother Bear to win.
However, the screen clearly stated 1:10.
Defeating Ji Chuan will multiply your points tenfold.
They only get one point per day for training, and they get more points for each mission based on their contribution, the number of zombies killed, and the resources and information collected.
Ten times the original price? That's too tempting.
The man known as Brother Bear not only looks like a bear, but his superpowers also seem to have something to do with bears.
Ji Chuan stood at the edge of the ring, calmly watching him. But to smile so calmly in such a tense environment was itself a provocation.
Brother Xiong shook his slightly dizzy head, roared and charged forward. In the instant he sprinted, his body suddenly grew taller, his muscles expanded and his height increased, reaching a full 3 meters.
At the same time, his hair grew longer, covering his entire body like scales or animal fur, completely enveloping him. His ten fingernails also grew longer, curving like bear paws, each one resembling a scimitar.
"when!"
Ji Chuan's knife collided with the man's fingernails, sparking a series of sparks. The large cleaver, made of a special alloy, did not leave a single scratch on his fingernails.
In any case, their strength was clearly no match for his, and Ji Chuan obviously had no intention of confronting him head-on.
Suddenly, Ji Chuan's expression changed, and his eyes filled with sorrow. This made Xiong Ge freeze for a moment. Taking advantage of this opening, Ji Chuan lowered his body and crawled under Xiong Ge's armpit.
The machete sliced across Xiong Ge's waist from his palm, sending sparks flying through his tough fur, accompanied by a screeching sound. Xiong Ge's fur was no less formidable than a suit of armor.
"Beast transformation?" Shi Yin pondered, resting her chin on her hand.
“No, this person can only turn into a bear.” Lin Beiyue shook her head: “The expert team has already tried, and the results show that he can only turn into a bear among all kinds of animals.”
No wonder, otherwise this ability should be S-level, and it would probably be reported directly to her, asking if she could join the Shadow Squad.
If it's just a bear...
That would be too limiting.
On the other side, Ji Chuan seemed to have a better understanding of his own abilities. He moved behind Xiong Ge and sighed softly.
"well--"
A soft sigh drifted over, melodious and low, instantly evoking a profound sense of sorrow.
Sure enough, Brother Xiong was also affected, his steps faltered, and his figure flickered, almost interrupting his superpower.
Some people in the crowd started to stir.
"Damn it, why can't I hold back my tears?"
"Come on, Ji Chuan has emotional abilities, it's normal for us to be affected, right?" his companion reminded him.
"But this is too much! How can you make a grown man cry in public?" A burly man clutched his chest, looking aggrieved.
Lu Zhishen buries the flowers, Lin Daiyu uproots the willow tree.
Most people couldn't help but wipe away their tears. This emotional turmoil was just too annoying. Many people felt a tightness in their chest and wished they could burst into tears right there.
"This guy is so annoying." Lin Beiyue wiped away her tears speechlessly.
She didn't actually want to cry, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing, which really affected her when it came to the actual battle.
"Ji Chuan's superpowers are getting more and more amazing. If this continues, I wonder how many people he will influence." Lin Beiyue was a little unconvinced.
Why should she work herself to the bone every day to understand the structure, history, and manufacturing process of various weapons, memorize weapon generalities until her head is spinning, have a full schedule of classes, and still risk burns to condense weapons...
Why is this guy always so happy?
Think about what Ji Chuan has sacrificed for his superpowers so far.
Watching melodramas, reading tragic novels, watching comedy talk shows every day, or going to the garden to calm down... how can this be? This world is unfair!
Shi Yin glanced at Lin Beiyue, who probably didn't want to know what special abilities she had awakened in her previous lives.
Previously, Lin Beiyue awakened the gravity ability of universal gravitation. In order to allow Lin Beiyue to adapt to the feeling of gravity, she had to carry the weight for more than 20 hours every day, and she could not even take it off when she slept. The amount of weight had to be increased every day.
She was pushed to her limits at all times, with a team of experts supervising her so that she couldn't slack off and was exhausted to tears every day.
At least now it's gone from physical labor to theoretical lessons.
not to mention……
"Don't judge the strength of superpowers by their lethality to humans. Ji Chuan's situation should be considered a weakening." Shi Yin's expression was calm, but her eyes were unfathomable.
"You've gotten weaker? Really?" Lin Beiyue's eyes widened.
At this point, the outcome of the match on the stage had already been decided.
Although Ji Chuan's control over his emotional abilities wasn't particularly adept, it was still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This kind of conceptual and emotional superpower is the nemesis of physical superpowers.
