Chapter 49: Starlight Whale: You can’t laugh at your boss’ jokes in front of him…
"dark……"
As soon as Chen Shuang opened her mouth and uttered only two syllables, the clown in the card began to shake his head wildly, making exaggerated gestures of silence.
Even if you dare to speak, I dare not listen.
The clown glanced at the black figure close at hand outside, and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
Even though he was not an ordinary life form and had no physiological characteristics, he still felt anxious and sweaty.
I couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would result from telling those stories directly to the other person. The priest in front of me might be fine, but the clown still knew his own limitations.
He has no plans to enter the cemetery of the Kingdom of Miracles for the time being.
The clown winked at the priest in front of him so hard that his eyes almost cramped.
It’s not too late for us to discuss these things in private.
Under the clown's devout prayer, the human priest opposite showed a hint of understanding.
She said, "I understand, don't worry."
Tears welled up in the clown's eyes.
I knew you would understand.
Just as the clown finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up, the black-haired priest smiled and said to the clown word by word, "Continue from last time."
The clown who had just stood up fell to his knees again with a thud.
Even so, the voices in my ears showed no sign of subsiding.
The priest, whose body was covered in golden lines, said, "A creature with a similar face appeared in the dark temple..."
The clown's face turned pale and he bit his lip. His nagging desire for knowledge and his strong desire to survive were fighting fiercely, causing the entire card to tremble.
Under his nervous gaze, Chen Shuang said, "The silver-white creature can't wait to chase after it, to get closer to the figure it dreams of."
There is no divine name.
The sweaty clown suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground with a dull look in his eyes.
The story continues: "He lurked around, stunned to discover that this new creature was both similar to the original one and yet unfamiliar. The silver-white creature's heart pounded wildly, unable to control its desire, frantically trying to establish contact with it."
The black-haired priest concluded: "He successfully established a substitute relationship."
So exciting.
The clown swallowed his saliva, looked quietly at the god not far away, and then quickly turned his gaze away like a thief.
The blank stars on the card moved faster than ever before, and red instantly spread to the third star.
"After a pleasant initial period, the silver-white creature prepared to propose before the entire world and planned an eternal wedding. During the ceremony, he was stabbed through by a sword from his so-called substitute, and fell before the stage he was about to ascend."
The clown gradually focused and nodded in agreement.
Not bad, it also includes a love-and-murder scene.
Chen Shuang pulled the clown closer and continued, "The double stepped on his face and said, 'What an idiot! It's been so long and you can't recognize me? I am..."
She mouthed the name silently.
clown:"!"
The clown in front of him took a deep breath, glanced nervously in the direction of the Dark God, then turned around and blinked frantically at the priest in front of him.
"I'm out of energy. When people are very sleepy, they can't control their behavior." Chen Shuang squeezed the card tightly and whispered, "After all, you don't want to be known by that person that you know so much, right, Mr. Great Clown?"
The huge amount of magic consumed made Chen Shuang a little unsteady. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, but you only have ten minutes left, so please cherish your time, Mr. Clown."
clown:"……"
Ten-minute countdown seems to be my rule.
Time passed by second by second, and in the increasingly turbulent divine power, the clown in the card seemed to have turned into a contemplative sculpture, motionless.
Chen Shuang looked at the clown pretending to be dead and whispered, "Can't you recognize me? I am..."
Her voice suddenly became louder: "The Dark Devil."
God turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Mr. Clown in the card jump up and start dancing and begging for mercy, Chen Shuang slowly added the second half of the sentence: "Are you okay? Can you hold on for another half a minute?"
The god's back instantly straightened. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's more than half a minute, priest. There's no need to speculate about the god's power. I'm very capable. Very capable."
The darkness became thicker and thicker, and the elf's body even revealed some supreme divinity in the thick night.
The god lowered his eyes and said, "Priest, you will get out safely."
After getting the answer, Shen Shuang turned back to look at the clown, silently urging him.
Chen Shuang: Stare.
Joker: I want to escape.
Without even the time to consider the story's plausibility and interest, the clown's heart was left pounding. He nodded repeatedly, then scrambled to his feet, legs trembling, and hid in the magic prop box on the card. There was no excitement at all from hearing gossip, only the exhaustion of having survived a catastrophe.
Joker: Humans are so scary QAQ.
The remaining stars on the card light up in turn.
Red spreads over the fourth star.
Spread the fifth star.
The system made a "ding dong" sound.
Congratulations, your judgment of [Schrödinger's Luck] was successful.
[Significantly increasing luck value]
[Achieved title: Qinglong Gang's top leader]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the achievement "Don't point a gun at me"]
With the Magic Ant Army working non-stop all night, the number of magic crystals increased rapidly, and now they have accumulated enough to guarantee a hundred draws.
The moment the judgment was successful, Chen Shuang opened the card pool and invested all the inventory in it.
A pale hand gracefully reached into the dark pool of water and brought out various items. Rich purple and gold colors entangled and leaped out of the card pool.
Nine purple and one gold, the last golden item drawn is still the guaranteed one.
Her bad luck can even compete with the Joker's good luck.
But at least there is a guaranteed gold price, which is enough.
Chen Shuang skipped all the purple items and looked at the last golden item that came out.
It has a smooth metallic appearance, is white all over, and carries complex and mysterious patterns, but the overall look is very familiar, even giving people a sense of home.
Chen Shuang: Uh, it’s a bit weird. Let me take another look.
Ignoring the mysterious pattern, she looked left and right, and no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the thing in front of her looked very much like a vacuum cleaner.
System pop-up introduction.
Congratulations! You've won the "handsome vacuum cleaner."
Chen Shuang: “…”
It really is a vacuum cleaner.
[Handsome vacuum cleaner]
A masterpiece from an unknown alchemist, possessing both impressive combat power and intelligence. Unlike other obedient alchemical items, this one, praised from the moment it was created, has developed some unknown quirks.
[Usage: Unlock the device with your voice, including but not limited to "Handsome Device", "Flawless Device", "Rare Device", and "Graceful Device"]
Chen Shuang: What a weird quirk.
The vacuum cleaner stopped in place, without any movement. If it weren't for the system's introduction, it would have looked more like a pile of long-discarded alchemical equipment.
Chen Shuang tried to speak: "Handsome and elegant?"
The battery indicator on the vacuum cleaner suddenly jumped up one level.
Chen Shuang: “…”
This is really an alchemical item that needs to be praised before it can be used.
She said expressionlessly, "Who is the most handsome, elegant, suave, rare, and flawless alchemical item in the world, embodying the power of a top master?"
The vacuum cleaner suddenly moved, and the battery display climbed to the top along with the praise. Suddenly, a very humble voice came to my ears.
The handsome vacuum cleaner made a low bubbling sound: "It's me, it's me, it's still me!"
The fully charged vacuum cleaner was fearless: "Tell me, human who recognizes my peerless beauty and pure character, what wish do you want to fulfill?"
System prompts.
【Congratulations, your voice unlocking device is successful】
Chen Shuang: “…”
Although it was successful, it seemed like a complete failure.
Who invented this narcissistic vacuum cleaner?
She covered her face and pointed to the huge cloud whale rolling in the sky to the vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum Cleaner: "It is this evil thing that troubles you. Don't be afraid. I, a handsome man, will save every human being who is suffering."
It rolled over to the side of the black-haired elf and said, "Stand back. I, a handsome man, will handle this evil."
god:"?"
What the hell.
The vacuum cleaner looked the elf up and down and said, "You're very handsome."
It said seriously: "But your handsomeness is slightly inferior to mine."
god:"……"
Who on earth invented this narcissistic alchemical item?
*
The whales soaring across the sky create huge waves, with their ultimate power gathering deep in their throats.
When devouring becomes an instinct, no matter how huge the volume is, it cannot fill the endless ravine.
A little more, a little more.
It opened its huge mouth wide, and the terrifying suction force swallowed up everything around it, but it was still not enough. It could even be said that it was far from enough.
The whale in the sea of clouds looked at the two tiny human figures on the ground, and its appetite continued to grow. Its instinct told it that they were carrying extremely delicious food.
Take in all that power.
"You're not as handsome as me—"
When the strange sound came, the Whale in the Sea of Clouds felt that something was wrong around him.
It moved its body, but was horrified to find that it could no longer swim back.
An even more terrifying suction force came from the front, and the surrounding clouds and mist were pulled and disappeared in front. The giant whale's moving space became smaller and smaller until it could no longer swim.
There was nothing around except for the huge cloud whale with its mouth open in confusion.
After the clouds and fog dissipated, it finally saw a small, pitch-black square opening.
It is so deep that it seems to be able to contain the whole world.
And then... nothing happened.
The huge whale in the sea of clouds disappeared in the sky, leaving only the vacuum cleaner burping in the original place.
The vacuum cleaner muttered, "I told you you're not as handsome as me, but you're still stubborn. Hiccup."
It beeped twice.
[Detect target abnormality, start self-cleaning mode]
[The camp has been automatically selected and the device is starting to self-clean.]
Chen Shuang removed the magical glow from her body and stopped beside the constantly vibrating vacuum cleaner: "What are you doing?"
The god who also came over was still worried: "I don't know, but he is really a narcissistic guy."
Chen Shuang: “…”
You two are on par with each other.
The priest, who was well versed in the rules of the workplace, chose to remain silent and continued to watch the vibrating vacuum cleaner.
After a while, it stopped and spit out a small white ball that was still glowing.
The system made a "ding dong" sound.
Congratulations, you have obtained [Incomplete Light Origin]
It is the source of light.
Chen Shuang picked up the ball, and the dazzling light shone on the side of her face, which suddenly reminded her of the half-built floating device at home.
This seems to be the core, and now there are ready-made materials for the floating device.
She carefully put away the white ball, and the black cover on the vacuum cleaner suddenly opened, and a huge amount of steam came out, blurring her vision.
Chen Shuang looked forward.
A little whale, black all over, swimming in the starlight, poked its head out from the water. It looked timidly at the unfamiliar environment around it and shrank back in fear.
Suddenly, the palm-sized whale discovered the human priest in front of it and sensed the familiar dark breath. It swam over step by step.
The little whale bowed politely with its fin bent, and whispered softly, "Hello, sister."
Chen Shuang: "Hello."
Just after saying hello, it noticed the black-haired god standing next to it. After thinking for a while, it swam over and continued to bow.
She called out obediently, "Hello, uncle."
god:"?"
Uncle what, what uncle.
He looked around but didn't see anyone else.
Shinto: "Are you calling me?"
The little whale nodded.
The god's eyebrows knitted into knots, and he gently coaxed: "Good boy, think carefully about what you should call me."
The little whale stepped back in fear, turning his head and thinking very seriously.
Then he timidly asked, "Hello, Grandpa?"
god:"……"
Chen Shuang suppressed a laugh: "Ahem."
Hold it in, don’t laugh at your boss’ jokes in front of him!
