Chapter 42 Freebies~



“It’s a small world, and it’s fun.”

Ren Suo noticed that the system startup sound seemed to have changed a little. It used to be crisp and bright, as pleasant as a little girl biting an apple; now it sounded much calmer, like a junior high school girl reading a text.

"Anyway, just don't talk in a gloomy way..." Ren Suo muttered. He used to like the Horror Park animation, but every time the OP (opening theme) of this animation started with a different person saying "Welcome to Horror Park" in a grim voice, he was so scared that he would skip directly to the OP.

Opening the content storage library, Ren Suo saw the shining key and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"One-star Insight Key: The chance of obtaining additional insight-type rewards +10%."

It’s pretty standard, and basically the same as the description of a one-star sleeping key, except that the sleeping-type rewards are understandable to Ren Suo, but the insight-type rewards… what the hell?

A 15x eyepiece? An electron microscope that can magnify over 3 million times?

Anyway, none of this is Ren Suo's business - he was just unlucky this time and didn't trigger the 10% rare chance.

Ren Suo first went to the bathroom to wash his hands with soap, then turned off the game controller and wiped it carefully with an alcohol cloth.

After all, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Maybe this small world game console is a treasure from the immortals. Seeing his sincerity, they will give him some preferential treatment. If licking the game console can increase favorability, Ren Suo will definitely lick it until it looks like it has been waxed.

Ren Suo nervously opened the reward box for "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters" -

"You consume the 'One-Star Insight Key' to open this treasure chest."

"You gain the skill 'Unlimited Energy'."

"Unlimited Energy"

"Rank: One-star ability, prerequisite: possessing a physical body."

"Effect: After equipping the equipment, the player will have unlimited energy. Although it is still subject to the maximum physical strength that the body can exert, the basic physical strength recovery speed will be increased to the maximum physical strength limit of the upright carbon-based organisms on the third planet of the Orion Arm solar system at the edge of the third spiral arm of the galaxy, and all discomfort will be suppressed to a tolerable range."

"Cast: In the 'Infinite Energy' state, every second you maintain it will consume 1 second of your life."

"Note: On the road to the highest path, the ascetic seekers have exhausted the potential of the mortal body. They represent the limits of mortals - but they are only the limits of mortals."

"Huh... It looks like a serious explanation of the game settings..."

In "If You Are Strong, Climb 10,000 Meters", if it is just a stickman jumping game, it would be fine, but if it becomes a real female seeker climbing Mount Hyjal, a 10,000-meter peak, many unreasonable things will appear.

Not to mention the seeker's final stage of refining the void and merging with the Tao - this is the most frequently appearing statement in the barrage, which shows that the rise of online novels in recent years has greatly promoted the spread of Taoist culture - just the process of the seeker's sleepless climb from 0 meters to 10,000 meters makes people wonder if this is a nuclear-powered robot invented by a crazy scientist.

There is no one on earth who cannot sleep. Only a very small number of special people (no more than five fingers) can stay awake almost 24 hours a day. But in fact, their sleep time is scattered. When they close their eyes for a few tens of seconds, they complete a sleep. When accumulated, it makes people feel that they never sleep. However, the longest time someone has tried to go without sleep is 11 days.

On Earth, people can live 2 to 7 days without water and up to 90 days without food, but these are extreme data. The actual lifespan is often shortened depending on a person's mental and physical condition.

There is no doubt that the seeker's physical performance and mental state are at the top level of human beings. It seems reasonable for her to go without sleep, food or water for five days... Bullshit!

During these five days, she had been spending most of her time climbing and cross-country in the mountains, which was extremely physically demanding. She was different from those survivors who just lay still to minimize physical exertion. The entire process was recorded on video without any flaws, and real people even appeared in the video.

The people the seeker met included people from Xuan country and foreigners. Now video websites in other countries on the Internet have been going crazy over this video of the seeker. Some TV stations have also conducted remote video interviews with people who have seen the seeker. There is no doubt about the seeker's authenticity.

Therefore, some people naturally doubt whether the seeker is the "supernatural being" or "awakened being" that has appeared from time to time on the Internet recently. Especially in the last scene, the seeker turned into light, which makes people imagine endlessly.

Now the skill of "Infinite Energy" tells Ren Suo that she is not a cultivator, she is just a mortal, the strongest mortal!

"But this skill actually has a price...it's troublesome." Ren Suo scratched his head.

Maintaining "Infinite Energy" for 1 second would consume 1 second of life span, which means that if Ren Suo can live for another 50 years and maintain the skill of Infinite Energy every day, he will most likely die of old age in 25 years.

Ren Suo thought more deeply and felt that he might not live to half his life span. Nowadays, the probability of old people dying of old age is low, and they usually die of old age diseases due to the decline of body resistance. So after reducing his life span by half, Ren Suo is likely to enter the state of old age earlier, and he will also die early due to various old age diseases.

But let’s try it first.

Ren Suo opened the "Equipment Interface", removed the "Battle Entry" that he was equipping, and replaced it with "Infinite Energy".

As soon as he installed it, Ren Suo felt something was wrong.

He had just practiced advanced breathing techniques, and his body was actually a little tired, just like an ordinary person who gets tired of sucking snails. His whole body felt a little lazy, and his mind was as hard to concentrate as if he had been doing a science test for three hours, so he stopped playing the game.

However, once the "Infinite Energy" was installed, Ren Suo found that he was as alert as if he had read several pornographic books, and his body was as energetic as if he had just got off work, and he felt relaxed as if he had lost several hundred pounds of fat.

Ren Suo stood up and jumped around in the room. He first did a hundred push-ups and found that he was not tired at all. Then he did sit-ups while practicing advanced breathing techniques and started practicing again...

It was not until he was sweating and feeling a little uncomfortable that he stopped and wiped his body with a towel.

Ren Suo looked in the mirror, saw the hot sweat on his body, felt the slight soreness in his muscles, and felt that he had never felt so good before - he could continue to exercise and practice!

"...Not bad." Ren Suo thought happily and replaced the "Infinite Energy".

The next second after he was replaced, Ren Suo's legs softened and he knelt down in the toilet! Fortunately, he grabbed the wash basin with his hands, otherwise he would have fallen down!

Endless pain attacked Ren Suo's whole body like an octopus. He felt that his body was no longer his own. He was just a soul attached to a piece of rotten flesh.

"Change, quickly change to "Infinite Energy"..." As soon as this thought came to Ren Suo's mind, he immediately calmly suppressed this stupid idea.

After a full ten minutes, Ren Suo slowly straightened up and crawled back to the sofa like a baby. He looked at the "Infinite Energy" in the spare column on the equipment interface, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He had never smoked, nor had he tried any forbidden drugs, but Ren Suo knew that the skill in front of him had many similarities with those addictive forbidden substances.

Harmful, dependent, inescapable.

Ren Suo knew that if he installed "Infinite Energy" now to avoid the physical pain and weakness and mental fatigue, he would never be able to escape the control of this skill in his lifetime, and half of his life would be consumed here.

That kind of healthy state, as if escaping from hell and returning to heaven, is so attractive to humans that he even suspected that this skill would cause the brain to secrete endorphins - the fatigue and pain produced by his muscles were almost blocked.

This is a tonic that is like poison. If Ren Suo doesn't want to age prematurely, he can only use this skill to save his life when necessary.

Ren Suo just thought about the "luxury" waste of installing this skill to play games all night.

After a while, Ren Suo knew that he probably couldn't go downstairs to eat, so he called Jianji downstairs.

"Hello."

"knew."

Ren Suo looked at his phone and wondered if the landline downstairs had caller ID...

Reluctantly sitting on the sofa, Ren Suo opened the "World Store" and went straight to "Free Games of the Month"——

"It's you!"

After thinking about it before going to bed last night, Ren Suo has already decided that the game he will be lucky enough to get for free this month is -

"Over My Dead Body"!
