Chapter 337 Maple Flame - 12-Month Interest-Free Installment - I Overslept Again
[12-Month Interest-Free Installment] (S-Rank): Every arrow and bullet you fire restores 10% of the target's health, with no upper limit on healing. However, the target must repay an equivalent amount of health over the next 12 hours. After 12 hours, the amount of health to be repaid increases by 50% for every five minutes of delay. Each arrow/bullet empowerment costs 50 mana, takes 1 second to cast, and has no cooldown.
The most ingenious part of this skill is that Yu Xunge issues the loans, but they themselves are the ones who repay them...
Moreover, this skill can be prepared in advance. Yu Xunge stayed up for several nights to add this skill to two thousand arrows. When these healing arrows enter the target's body, they will directly turn into healing light and disappear into the target's body.
So even if all healing skills on the field are off cooldown, as long as there are arrows in the quiver hanging on her left waist, the players on the field will not die—what's even more terrifying is that they have become accustomed to not dodging Feng Ran's arrows.
Yu Xunge unilaterally declared that the treasure inside the tower was undoubtedly maple syrup.
At the end of 7201, Feng Cang was assassinated by the alien race and the traitors within the [Afternoon Tea] organization. At the time of the assassination, there was also the Grand Commander of the Myriad Owls. Feng Ran was present, but at least half of the Oak Owls present had been saved by that Grand Commander of the Myriad Owls. Compared to Feng Cang, they respected that Grand Commander more.
They joined forces to force Feng Ran to abandon Feng Cang and revive the Great Commander Wan Xiao.
The 12-year-old Oak Owl was surrounded by them. They listed all of Feng Cang's contributions and found them inferior to Feng Heng's. Saving Feng Heng was far more valuable than saving Feng Cang. Feng Heng was the only SS-level member in the [Afternoon Tea] group besides Maple Syrup.
This is a battlefield, not a dungeon with a limited number of players. There are at least three thousand Oak Owls present, and they are all elite troops, with their levels generally 2-3 levels higher than Yu Xunge's.
Yu Xunge didn't argue with them. She guarded Feng Cang's corpse, which they had kicked into the corner. Taking advantage of this excellent terrain, she relied on the still-developing "Cheers" skill and the shooting skills that Feng Cang, Maple Sugar, and Maple Clover had given her over the years. Using the combat techniques that Maple Sugar had taught her, she mustered the mentality of fighting to the death on the battlefield and held out for 7 minutes until Maple Clover arrived.
When Yu Xunge fell, his wings had been cut in half by the oak owls.
I really miss her "One-Person Party"... If she could steal attribute points, these newbies wouldn't be so arrogant...
Having long since exhausted her healing skills, she took out a healing arrow and stabbed herself a few times to fully restore her health. She then continued to guard Feng Cang's side, watching Feng Mu unleash his killing spree, and occasionally nocking an arrow to heal Feng Mu.
Maple Clover killed at least half of the Oak Owls present, and used the tip of her whip to lift Maple Horizon's corpse into the air, then smashed it to pieces with [Cheers]. The remaining Oak Owls fled, exiting [Afternoon Tea] as they ran.
After Feng Mu, who looked as if she had just crawled out of a pool of blood, walked over, Yu Xunge used the spell "I said the cotton candy isn't expired, so it isn't expired" on Feng Cang under her protection. After the five-minute spell ended, Feng Cang opened his eyes.
Looking at Yu Xunge, whose wings were now half gone, a flicker of wild joy flashed in her eyes. After a long while, she smiled through her reddened eyes and said, "Looks like I overslept again."
Three days later, Maple Syrup returned from the world battlefield and immediately issued a kill order against the more than one thousand Oak Owls that had fled. Bring their heads to [Afternoon Tea] and Maple Syrup can help them convert any one of their skills into an [upgradeable] state.
Maple Syrup's Butterbeer has been upgraded from SS to SSS level.
It's time for her to prune the branches.
She held the recovered Feng Cang and Yu Xunge and asked them which skills they wanted to convert to an "upgradeable" state.
Yu Xunge: "All!"
Maple Leaf: "Speak properly!"
Yu Xunge leaned closer to Maple Syrup and shouted, "All of them!"
Feng Cang also said, "All of them!"
Maple Leaf: "..."
Maple Syrup smiled and hugged Feng Cang and Yu Xunge close, then took out nine maple leaves and distributed them to her three daughters: "Each of you can only use them three times. Take them and use them yourselves. You can use any skills except for those with divine talent."
Yu Xunge accepted the three maple leaves, each containing a skill.
【Upgrade】: This skill can be switched to an 【Upgradeable】 state. As you continue to use and learn from it, the skill will break through its limits. After using this state, the skill's current level will decrease by one.
She couldn't take this item out of the tower, so she didn't hesitate to use one of the pieces on "Who Will Cut the Moonlight".
She still needs to think carefully about the other two.
Her efforts and dedication yielded more than just these three "cup upgrades".
In the year 7203 of Ruinkol, on "Fengran's" birthday, Maple Sugar, Maple Clover, and Maple Azure gave her an SS-level escape skill book as a 14th birthday gift.
【Dandelion in the Wind】(SS-level): Instantly transforms into millions of dandelions. Wherever the wind blows, it becomes your path. The wind cannot be contained, nor can you be contained. There is no cost to using the skill, but the damage taken by the dandelions will be reflected back to you. Cooldown time: 0.5 hours.
It can be described as a top-tier version of Mist, not only for escaping but also for using as a defensive skill when necessary.
She immediately used the second [Cup Boost] item on this skill.
However, Yu Xunge also died that year, the day after her 14th birthday.
That day, she got up and went out to pick fruit, planning to try making some preserved plums when she came back. Not long ago, Feng Cang gave her a preserved plum recipe. When she put the preserved plums she made in her mouth, she was not affected by the time-stopping technique.
However, as soon as she flew out of the wooden house, she saw Feng Gao with an extremely calm expression. She had been waiting for this day for far too long.
This is the second time Yu Xunge has died since entering the tower...
At that moment, Yu Xunge actually had countless ways to escape; even if she had used the newly acquired [Wind Blows Dandelion], she wouldn't have died.
Unfortunately... it is now the year 7203 of Ruinkol, which happens to be the year "Feng Ran" died. Judging from the timeline, this point in time is very likely the time when "Feng Ran" died in history.
Whether Yu Xunge likes it or not, "Feng Ran" should leave, especially since Feng Gao clearly came prepared.
She only had time to use the last [Cup of Up] on her previously acquired S-rank skill [Silent Hill] before her health was wiped out by Maple Cake.
In her final moments, she saw Feng Mu's sorrowful, desperate, and numb eyes, and she also saw Feng Cang, whose eyes held pain, but it was not just pain; beneath that pain lay expectation and joy.
