Chapter 343 Second-rate Fool
——【Whiplash】
Shortly after she refused to revive Maple Cake's child, Maple Sugar gave her an A-level skill: a gunshot rang out, and the bullet rapidly split in the air, turning into a sky full of fireballs, pouring down like a torrential rain. Each split bullet would cause a small explosion upon contact with an obstacle, and each bullet had a 10% chance to trigger an automatic enemy-locking and tracking effect.
This skill can not only envelop Su Yitong, but also blow up the Su family's estate—there are five survivors in the Su family manor.
Su Yitong deftly dodged the skill.
Having served as Maple Clover for three hundred years and been carefully nurtured by Maple Sugar, Su Yitong is no longer the Su Yitong of the past. The long whip is like an extension of her hand, shaking, chopping, flicking, sweeping, entangling, picking, blocking... She is the next legion commander of [Afternoon Tea], personally taught by Maple Sugar!
The whip wasn't of particularly high quality; it must have been her weapon before she entered the tower. However, the whip's tail had a giant blade shaped like a scorpion's tail, made entirely of fire element. This was Maple's SS-rank skill, [Scorpion], which Yu Xunge had seen countless times inside the tower.
Yu Xunge once asked Fengmu at the dinner table why he didn't use a long spear, the king of weapons on the battlefield, which was more suitable for the battlefield.
Maple Clover had just taken a bite of her biscuit and didn't have time to answer, so Maple Sugar answered for her: "She likes it. As long as she likes it, I will make the weapon she likes become the king of weapons in her hands. You are the same, Maple Flame. Everything you like, your mother will help you get it."
However, in terms of combat skills and talent, Yu Xunge was already superior to Su Yitong. Su Yitong had been taught by Maple Sugar for three hundred years, and she had never stopped improving through the combat talents and experiences she had gained through various exchanges!
Moreover, once they leave the tower and return to reality, Yu Xunge's attributes far surpass those of Su Yitong. Based on the difference in attributes alone, if she were to hit Su Yitong, she could instantly kill her.
However, she had only been Feng Ran for ten years, yet Feng Tang had already given her more than a dozen skill books. What about Su Yitong, who had been by Feng Tang's side for three hundred years? Her skills were almost endless.
After failing to kill Su Yitong by reducing her health to below 1% several times, she realized what the divine talent skill Su Yitong had obtained after acquiring the orange-red wings was.
The third skill of [Snowflake Crisp].
【Dessert Master】: The Dessert Master never fails. After using this skill, your current state will be saved. You can manually revert to the save indefinitely for the next ten minutes. You will also automatically revert to the save whenever your health drops below 1%. Casting time: 0.1s. Cooldown: 1 day.
This skill is the most useful skill in Maple Leaf's Divine Gift talent!
Unfortunately, this kind of talent skill is in the skill library, not on the character panel. Otherwise, Yu Xunge would have used [Reversal Moment] to exchange for this skill, even at the risk of being exposed!
As for Su Yitong's Holy Light talent, it is indeed good, but it's not worth her using it [I could just steal it directly]. Let alone Holy Light, she wouldn't even be willing to use a complete [Snowflake Crisp]. She would only use this skill on her SSS-level divinely bestowed talent.
Wait, what about the [Hope] skill from [Holy Light]?!
If she used the Sharpshooter's Skill 2 [Guaranteed Critical Hit!] to exchange for [Hope], and then sold it to Dinghai in exchange for an S-rank skill she wanted... Dinghai couldn't possibly refuse!!!
[Hope] is so important that it can be considered a core skill of Holy Light; she could even exchange it for an SS-level skill!
Yu Xunge immediately began to consciously stop and started to move Su Yitong towards Hei Fei, so that she could shift the blame later.
The Su Family Manor was set ablaze by the [Burst Drummer]. Amidst the flames and ruins, two people with orange-red wings fought fiercely in the air. Their silver meteorite pistols and blazing whips almost suppressed all the moonlight of the night. Their long hair and orange-red wings danced in the night sky.
Sometimes they would charge at their opponents for close combat, and other times they would keep their distance and unleash ranged skills of various attributes, with the aftershocks of their skills constantly radiating outwards from them.
The nearby players retreated again and again, and if they were not able to dodge in time, they would be hit by the aftershocks of the skill, losing 10 to 50% of their health each time. This was clearly not a battle they could enter, but no one was willing to leave. Only Zhao Shuying remained flying in place. She did not intervene rashly, but she did not leave either.
While feigning weakness, Yu Xunge also presented a matching script: "You're being deceived by lies and you're actually enjoying it? Wake up! With your talent, Dinghai won't do anything to you. It's not too late to turn back now. They will never accept the people of Blue Star!"
Su Yitong flicked her whip, deflecting the bullet. She didn't actually want to fight Yu Xunge, but for some reason, she had an urge to kill all the Blue Star players she saw tonight.
She realized that Yu Xunge was letting her win, and soon Yu Xunge's health dropped to 12%. This action made Su Yitong sigh. She knew that no one could resist being attracted to Maple Sugar's home.
Her tone towards Yu Xunge grew increasingly gentle, as if this were not a battlefield in the sky, but a wooden cabin inside a tower, and they were sitting around a table eating her homemade bear-shaped cookies, drinking maple-syrup-based butterbeer, and chatting. She spoke in Oak Owl Common Language:
"Do you remember when Mother once said that there was a potion in Zelan called 'Second-Rate Fool'? Ah, I forgot, you were already gone by then."
"It can distort a person's perception, turning bitterness into sweetness, making those who hate it feel happy at the sight of it, seeing ugliness as beauty, and falsehood as reality... As long as I can stay by Maple Syrup and Maple Green's side, I am willing to be a second-rate fool!"
Yu Xunge was waiting for Su Yitong's Dessert Master skill to take effect. Once it did, Su Yitong would be in a better position, and Yu Xunge would be able to acquire the Hope Hymn. She casually fired a [Burst Drummer], and the bullets turned into a rain of fire, rushing towards Su Yitong.
Su Yitong dodged twice, but suddenly stopped. The effect of her [Dessert Master] skill was canceled. She turned around, opened her arms, and embraced the part of the bullet that had triggered the tracking effect. With a calm smile on her face and her eyebrows relaxed, she said to Yu Xunge, "Thank you for your help."
The riddled corpse fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the scorched grass.
The orange-red wings still shone brightly, like burning flames, illuminating half of the manor. Under the watchful eyes of Yu Xunge and the other players, the wings slowly enveloped the corpse, flames ignited, and in an instant, the wings and the corpse turned to ashes together.
The fact that her pet, the koala named Green Wine, wasn't exposed in her pet space means that Su Yitong is not really dead.
Yu Xunge stood in the smoke, looking down at the ashes being blown away by the wind. She had failed to disable Su Yitong's resurrection skill.
It wasn't that she made a stupid mistake at the crucial moment, nor that she softened at the last minute. When she noticed Su Yitong's actions, she immediately abandoned the plan to reverse the moment and prepared to announce the party rules as soon as possible. However, she found that her skills could not be used because she was actually in a team state—it must be Feng Ran!
But this is not the end!!
