Chapter 9 Balloon Dispenser (lv2) [Item Name: Xi...
The poor girl had never seen such sparkling things. Although she didn't know the value of the gold beans, she knew that the kind lady would not cheat her.
So, the girl took the golden bean in a daze and was about to get the remaining matches for Cecilia.
But after fumbling in his pocket for a long time, his little hands finally pulled out a half-empty matchbox.
There were four long and thin matches lying alone in the box, looking particularly pitiful.
In an instant, the girl's heart sank to the bottom.
She knew her pockets were torn, so she held them tightly, fearing that she might accidentally drop a few boxes of matches...
Unexpectedly, it turned out like this.
Finally someone wanted to buy her matches, but she couldn't even take out a complete box. She was really useless... No wonder her father beat her every day at home.
"Sorry... I think I lost the matches."
The girl hung her head in frustration.
She didn't cry when she was hungry and cold on the street just now, but now she was sitting by the fire eating sweet bread, and her tears were about to fall.
Could this be the key prop?
"It's fine."
Cecia patted the girl gently and took away the only remaining matchbox.
"That's enough."
She could see clearly through the window that the girl kept her pockets tightly held, leaving no gap for the matches to escape.
The current situation was probably because after she picked up the girl, she was only thinking about how to avoid getting her clothes dirty.
I forgot to pay attention to my pocket, which caused the matches to leak out of the hole.
Besides, she didn't really need matches.
Looking at the anxious girl, she thought for a moment and pulled Chen Ye over.
"Tell her some fairy tales, like Cinderella and the Little Match Girl."
"Ah, me?" Chen Ye blinked and pointed at himself in disbelief.
Cecia nodded.
Chen Ye sat down resignedly and began to speak with “A long, long time ago”.
Perhaps she was really too tired. After calming down, the girl fell asleep leaning against the sofa soon.
Seeing this, the red-haired clerk ran to the kitchen quietly and started a new round of baking. The bakery instantly became quiet, with only Cecilia and Chen Ye sitting opposite each other.
On the surface, she asked Chen Ye to tell the girl a story, but in fact, she secretly listened to the whole story and analyzed it in her mind based on her previous experience.
Cinderella's dress and carriage were endowed with magic because of the secret help of the fairy godmother, but in the story of the little match girl, there is no magic.
Those beautiful things like fireplaces, roast chickens, and Christmas trees were just the girl's fantasies before she died.
...She wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get a useless box.
Cecilia kept flipping through the matchbox, which aroused Chen Ye's interest.
“Sister, sister, let me see!”
Those eyes were filled with excitement as he reverently took the matchbox back.
“I didn’t expect to see a little girl selling matches in person!”
Chen Ye was extremely excited and quickly flipped the matchbox in his hand. Every time he flipped it, there was a slight clicking sound, like the prelude to an ancient spell.
Not seeing anything special in the box, she began to shake the fragile container again, causing the only four remaining matches inside to collide with each other, making a small noise.
She solemnly opened the box, pulled out a match, and then her eyes widened instantly -
"Sister, look at this!"
Seeing the game panel suddenly appear in front of him, Chen Ye shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! I finally got the feeling of playing games! Since it's a game, we can definitely get out!"
However, from Cecia's perspective, Chen Ye was pointing at the air in front of him, looking around in the empty space with great interest, and he seemed to be not in his right mind.
After a long while, Chen Ye still didn't wait for Cecilia to come over.
As soon as he looked up, he met the other person's gaze, which was as if he was looking at a fool. In those red eyes, four words were clearly written:
Are you okay?
"I forgot that only the owner can see the item panel..."
Chen Ye's cheeks turned red and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He handed the match in his hand to her and observed her reaction with anticipation.
As soon as her fingertips touched the match, a translucent panel instantly unfolded before her eyes.
[Item name: Match of Hope]
[It carries all the hopes of a poor little girl. Even if all the good things have dissipated like bubbles, the kind-hearted girl still hopes that it can help others.]
[For this reason, Mr. White has made some improvements to the match. As long as you light the match, you can get what you want most at the moment - of course, what you get must conform to the objective laws of the world and can only exist for five minutes at most. After all, it is just an illusion that can be easily shattered.]
[Note: If your desire is not strong and resolute enough, the item you obtain may not last for more than five minutes before it is destroyed. Each match will become ineffective after being lit once, so please use with caution.]
This looks a bit similar to the recently popular card game in the demon clan. There are also introductions to skills and items on those cards, as if they are used to fight?
She was still thinking about the commonalities between the two, while Chen Ye, looking at the matches, was already getting ready to try.
Chen Ye quickly pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and silently recited the portal that would allow him to leave the copy.
Under the firelight, a simple wooden door rose in front of them.
"Sister, come quickly! Let's leave together--"
Chen Ye rushed over excitedly, and the moment he touched the door, it shattered, burying the poor match along with it.
"Things really aren't that simple..."
She smiled awkwardly and quietly threw away the ashes in her hand.
In order not to waste the only three remaining matches, Cecilia had to grab them with the box and the matches.
“This is the first special item I have ever obtained…”
Chen Ye muttered quietly, "They all said that the special items in the House of Truth are hard to obtain. My friend even gave me a few specially."
As she spoke, she seemed to feel a little guilty, and her voice slowly lowered: "But it might be used up in a while if it's in my hand, so it's safer for me to hold it..."
Cecilia picked up a chocolate cookie and fed it to Chen Ye to comfort him.
But as soon as it touched the other person's skin, it felt like being pricked by something, and a sharp pain spread from the fingertips.
"…Do you have thorns on your body?"
She said through gritted teeth.
When she helped Chen Ye in the snow, she seemed to feel the pain. At that time, saving his life was the top priority, and the overwhelming snow and wind forced her to ignore the pain.
Now that I think about it, that feeling was exactly the same as this tingling pain, and it was clearly caused by Chen Ye.
"No?"
Chen Ye looked at Cecia innocently, as if he had no idea what was going on.
"…the mirror in Cinderella's kitchen. What did you see in it?"
"Uh, it seems like I'm covered in thorns?"
Chen Ye tried hard to recall.
"I was thinking how painful it would be, but after I came in, I didn't feel any pain at all."
You didn't feel the pain because it was all borne by someone else... Unfortunately, Cecilia was that "someone else".
Looking at Chen Ye, whose eyes were filled with ignorance, she sighed helplessly, and her thousands of words turned into one sentence: "This world, stay away from me."
Chen Ye blinked, looked at Cecia, then looked at himself, and then he suddenly realized.
"So that's what those thorns are for! Don't worry, sister, I will never let them prick you again!"
She waved her hand impatiently, and after confirming that the characteristic she had acquired in this world was "soft as silk", she began to generate balloons with peace of mind.
She was so busy clearing the amusement facilities that she almost forgot she had such a skill. However, there was a reason why this skill was so useless...
A bright red balloon soon appeared in Cecia's hand. This time, the note tied to the end of the balloon string read: "You will always be loved by animals (F)."
See, she said this skill is useless.
Thinking that this skill also has the function of giving balloons to others, she stuffed the balloon to Chen Ye.
"Hey? Sister, where did you get the balloons?"
It was not until the balloon string was tightly wrapped around his wrist that Chen Ye noticed the existence of the balloon.
After trying hard for a long time, Chen Ye still couldn't untie the balloon string - the thin silk thread was like a poisonous snake, once it trapped its prey, it would only get tighter and tighter.
"Don't unlock the special item you got before. It will be good for you. Very good for you."
Cecilia continued to talk nonsense with a normal expression.
Seeing the balloon string almost cutting into the flesh of Chen Ye's hand, she endured the pain and adjusted it so that it was just loosely tied around Chen Ye's wrist.
"Well, it's just that this color really doesn't look good."
Chen Ye’s greatest advantage is that he is obedient enough. Even though he is not very happy about it, he still lets the balloon float beside him.
After all this trouble, Cecilia also made a new discovery.
If you don't give it away voluntarily, others won't be able to see the balloon.
Moreover, the recipient could not see the note, nor could he untie the balloon string by himself - he was not sure whether this was because Chen Ye was too weak.
Just as she was thinking about what else this useless balloon could do, the system's prompt sound suddenly rang in her head, as if it was unwilling to be described as "useless".
