Chapter 142 Mermaid Cruise
Features inspire new skills, and it would be a lie to say we’re not excited.
Because of his personality, Xu Zhiyan hid the skill as soon as it was discovered. He almost used all his strength to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
Finally, the black sea slug in the palm slowly changed its appearance. First it turned back to its previous white appearance, and then turned blue at Xu Zhiyan's request.
[Skill name: Slug poison]
[Consumption: Mental Power (100 points)]
[Skill details: Toxins can not only kill people, but also dissolve everything. With just a little bit, you can make people or monsters you don't want to see disappear without a trace.]
【Note: Just touching will kill.】
[Skill name: Slug Spirit]
【Consumption: None】
[Skill details: A cute black sea hare, but it is not as cute as its appearance. It can devour spirits and strengthen itself. ]
[Note: The longer you summon creatures, the more souls they devour, the stronger they become.]
The white one is poison, the black one summons slug spirits, and the blue one is slug plague.
The first skill displayed by Soul Gift is the first skill, which is also the skill that the violator evil spirit has been using.
Xu Zhiyan was a little troubled.
All three skills were good, especially the Slug Plague, which he had already seen.
Thousands of slugs can penetrate any hole. Even if they encounter a monster that is a hundred times stronger than themselves, they can still disintegrate from the inside. They are very powerful.
But the price of being strong is that it consumes mental energy.
Each slug consumes a bit of his mental energy. Even if he used up all his mental energy now, he could only consume more than seventy slugs. He would need to continue replenishing his mental energy later.
For some people with a higher mental strength threshold, this skill is more cost-effective.
If you can raise the mental threshold to three to five hundred, then you can summon a few hundred each time, replenish them, and summon again. The sheer number of them alone will be enough to overwhelm everything.
Even if the final replenishment of mental energy caused damage, it would only cause the threshold to drop slightly.
But Xu Zhiyan can't afford to play this game.
His mental power threshold is shockingly low, and even though he has awakened his characteristics as a night fisherman, the main system is still very stingy in raising the threshold.
If he used up all the replenishment and ended up causing damage, he was worried that the main system would drop his level to thirty.
As for toxins...
It melts on contact.
It's very exciting, but it requires 100 spirit points each time, and you can't squeeze out that much even if you squeeze it dry. With the main system in this state, it's still early to reach the threshold of 100 spirit points.
Looking at it this way, although the other two skills are very useful, Xu Zhiyan can only choose the Slug Spirit. He couldn't help but despise his luck.
Although the slug spirit is a bit weak, it is better to have it than not.
Xu Zhiyan decisively chose the skill.
[Party B’s reward: Skill-Slug Spirit (paid)]
[Soul Gift (Party B) has completed the transaction steps.]
Soul Gift finally completed its mission.
After delivering the skill, its body slowly faded again.
Thinking that he was leaving anyway and that his consciousness might fade away soon, Soul Gift said in a serious tone, "Thank you for everything you have done for the copy."
Goodbye! Trash human beings!
It came with good intentions to offer its skills, but not only did it run away for half an hour, it also forced a trade.
Xu Zhiyan nodded, very satisfied with the deal.
Only after he saw the soul gift in his hand completely disappear did he breathe a sigh of relief and tidy up the mess he had made on the ceiling.
Uncle Yu was anxious downstairs, but he didn't know how to help.
Now seeing that the person had finally come down, he rolled his eyes twice and felt relieved.
The live broadcast room, which had been noisy before, fell into silence for a long time, and almost everyone was guessing what skill Xu Zhiyan had awakened.
[I won’t tell you who is jealous. ]
[Two skills? Two? There must be two! ]
[Yes, the soul gift was about to disappear at first, but I didn’t expect that Xiao Baiwan pinched it twice and it came back to life. Holy shit!]
[So what skill did Xiao Baiwan awaken? A skill that can keep his soul alive? That's not right, right?]
[Curious... Damn, so curious! ]
Everyone was so curious that they started discussing it without caring about the big guys who were still in the live broadcast room.
After a period of silence, several bigwigs were also shocked.
[To be honest, this is the first time I've seen someone awaken a skill because, well... it doesn't seem like they're in a fatal crisis.]
[Me too, how can someone awaken a skill just because they lost a skill? ? ? ? ]
【This is not the river.jpg】
[It seems that Anonymous still understands him, no wonder he is not anxious. ]
[Losing skills = fatal crisis? ? ]
[Hahahahaha, your equation is ridiculous, but when applied to Xu Baiwan, it actually makes sense? ]
[I'm a little curious about what skill Greed will awaken. ]
[Curious +1, it actually feels a bit like a healing skill, weird.]
Receiving skills takes too long.
There is not much time left before the system warning.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Yu and explaining the ship, Xu Zhiyan rushed to the steam turbine.
The hot air was mixed with dust and the roar was deafening.
Jiang Huai Que has become impatient with waiting.
"You still remember to come back. Damn, I've been waiting for you here for more than an hour."
Seeing his grumpy teammate looking worried, Xu Zhiyan was in a hurry and did not argue with him. He just stuffed a note he had written in advance into his hand.
"Leave it to you. I have to rush to the casino now."
Jiang Huaique opened the note and was a little dumbfounded after reading it carefully. He lowered his voice and said viciously.
"Xu Baopi, do you think you are not targeted enough by the main system?"
"Not really."
Xu Zhiyan shrugged, looking indifferent.
"It's just a test. I'm worried that I won't have a chance in the following copies..." He had a hunch that this was his last non-five-star copy.
This game has been going on for a long time, so long that it has become extremely polarized.
In 1-4 star dungeons, although players are getting stronger and stronger, and there are basically no stupid players, they are not top veteran players after all. The truly strong players will not enter dungeons below five stars.
In the punishment copy, he had already seen what real veteran players were like.
Relying solely on personal ability, unless encountering particularly powerful monsters, a player of Gan Mi's level can complete dungeons below four stars by himself.
When he really reaches the five-star copy, he will have to compete with these monstrous players.
Xu Zhiyan didn't think he could be so lucky every time. He found a powerful ghost slice as a backer at the beginning.
Jiang Huaique didn't quite understand what he heard. After hesitating for a moment, he put the note away without asking any more questions.
"Jinsheng is waiting for me in the casino. I'll ask Xiaoyi to send you the money." Seeing that his teammates didn't ask many questions but still frowned with a look of disapproval, Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair and didn't explain anything.
After a brief encounter, the two continued to act separately.
When he came to the Sea Snake Casino again, Xu Zhiyan's mood had changed.
Maybe it was because of the gambling king's little crispy bone, he was very confident. After exchanging the chips, he did not go to the table where he played mermaid cards, but just found a random gambling table.
Playing with the bony hand and receiving the signals from the small bones, Xu Zhiyan continued to win in the casino.
When Jin Sheng came, Xu Zhiyan had won tens of thousands of chips again.
Listening to his teammate leaning over and whispering in his ear, Xu Zhiyan moved his eyes away from the pile of chips and turned to look at the casino door.
At the entrance of the casino, a tall young man wearing thick-bottomed glasses stood there.
The two looked at each other, Xu Zhiyan smiled, then looked away without saying anything more.
Jin Sheng didn't provide much information. He only knew that the other party was called Enli and that he was a genius mathematician before entering the game. But there was a piece of information in the game that Xu Zhiyan was very concerned about.
After entering the casino, Enli won and lost half of the thirty games. He did not earn a single extra point, nor did he lose a single chip.
Xu Zhiyan suddenly felt something was wrong.
Money is useful on board.
Knowing this condition, the other party also has enough skills, but still chooses not to earn a single point...
Enli must know something that he doesn't know.
But he was making his final gamble, and it was too late to lose now, and he needed money to do more things.
Xu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the chips pushed over by the dealer.
Enli was leaning against a pillar with his arms folded. Next to him stood a long-haired beauty who was shorter than him. Both of them were players and had formed a team.
"Lili, why don't you tell him that he can't win?" The woman tilted her head and looked at her teammates.
"Don't call me that." Enli pushed his glasses and made sure that Xu Zhiyan had won the last thirty games before turning around and leaving the Sea Snake Casino.
"Didn't your brother say in the group that if you meet Xu Zhiyan in the dungeon, you should take good care of him?" the woman followed and asked.
Enli stopped and explained helplessly: "Winning is not a good thing, which means that the winner will be unlucky. Among this group of players, except Xu Zhiyan, you have won the most."
He knew the rumors about the casino, but his teammates were extremely lucky and won a lot just by playing a few rounds.
"Someone has to be the unlucky one, it's either him or you, and Gan Mi only said that she would take care of him under certain conditions, but she didn't say that she would take care of him regardless of the cost."
Enli had a blank expression on his face, with thick lenses covering his eyes.
"Gan Mi and I don't get along. I didn't harm Xu Zhiyan because I couldn't beat Gan Mi. How could you still think I would help him? Chen Zhen, why don't you just change your name to Chen Tianzhen?"
He spoke slowly and calmly, with the paranoia typical of a science guy, and he was ruthless in mocking his teammates.
"I'm just mentioning it, otherwise you'll have to quarrel with your brother again if you leave the dungeon...hiss, it hurts!"
Shen Zhen retorted a few words, and suddenly fell down, holding her thigh.
The incident happened suddenly. Enli caught his teammate and helped him to a deserted place. Suddenly, he felt some pain in his back.
Instantly, the panel popped up.
[It was detected that all surviving players completed the task [Sea Snake Casino] within the specified time]
[Reward: Cruise Party Invitation [To be collected]]
[Main Quest [Part 2]: Seagod's Domain]
[Task 6: Attend tonight’s party]
[Note: Dear players, you are about to attend the party tonight, but some changes have occurred in your body. These changes may make you a less pleasant presence at the party, and your newly changed body will lure the mutated inferiors to take a bite of your flesh and blood. ]
[Tip: Please rush to the party venue in three hours and avoid the demented low-class people. ]
"...Damn it, it takes three hours to escape? That's too long."
Enli watched as his teammate's lower body suddenly turned into tentacles and he rolled on the ground in pain. He then touched the fins that had grown on his back and was somewhat glad that he had just hidden in a deserted place.
Does the amount of money won affect the degree of mutation?
He suddenly thought of Xu Zhiyan.
"In a casino... with so many people, they would have died miserably."
In the casino, after exchanging chips and sending Jin Sheng away, Xu Zhiyan suddenly felt weak in his hands and feet.
A slight pain instantly spread throughout my body.
He realized something was wrong and planned to leave the casino and find a place where no one was.
But after taking only two steps, the pain that he had been able to bear suddenly became more severe. He staggered two steps, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Holding on to the pillar, he could feel eyes constantly falling on him from behind.
Glancing at the panel where content was popping up, Xu Zhiyan took a quick look and almost fainted.
Damn, there are so many people in this casino, and he can’t use his gun to shoot all of them who have smelled his mutation.
Mental tension and physical pain intertwined, Xu Zhiyan gritted his teeth to keep himself awake.
My legs hurt and itchy...
What kind of props can help him break out of this group of gamblers?
Just when he was about to fall, he noticed that the gamblers who were staring at him lowered their heads.
The slightly angry voice of the young man Bai Jin came from behind.
"roll."
"If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes."
