Chapter 131: Is it hard to explain why they're idolizing celebrities?
Chen Dixin wiped his slightly warm genitals; the little guy was developing a splitting arrow.
It must be said that a little bit of intelligence and inanimate objects are completely different stages. As the master, no matter how familiar Shen Dixin is with the [object/object], he cannot manipulate a probabilistic event into a certainty.
But the crossbow itself can. As long as it is given ten times the time to reload, it will definitely fire split bolts. If it is lucky, it is not impossible to break through the double limit.
This significantly increases the output of the "Heart Cleansing" skill. The split arrows generated during the opening or dodging phases are essentially equivalent to stationary output.
Sure enough, as soon as the whistle blew, crossbow bolts were fired to start the competition.
[The player dealt 168 damage to the "bat".]
[The player dealt 405 damage to the "bat".]
It immediately hit two bats, one of which was even struck in a vital spot, its health bar dropping by half instantly, and its flight became unsteady.
Upon seeing this, the bats immediately changed formation, shielding their injured companions behind them so that they could launch a sonic attack from a distance.
Chen Dixin frowned and endured the ear-piercing demonic sound, its intensity no less than that of the elite sea monsters he had encountered for the first time.
However, her spirit is much stronger than before. If last time it was like listening to fingernails scratching a blackboard while a hammer was hitting her head, this time it was just an unpleasant musical instrument.
"If only cinnabar were here," Chen Dixin thought to himself.
Cinnabar's talent [Candlelight] can enhance mental resilience, making it a very useful aura even for someone like Chen Qingxin in his current state.
The two pets should be awake by now, right? I wonder if they'll throw a tantrum when they find out I'm not here.
Of course we'll make a fuss.
Lu Mingang wore a bitter expression, coaxing Zhu Sha for what seemed like the umpteenth time, "It's been a month already, she'll be back soon."
Yuanbao didn't react much to Chen Dixin's disappearance. Its contract was still secure, and its master was alright, so what was there to worry about?
The cinnabar reacted strongly. It had been in seclusion for a long time, and it wasn't completely unconscious while it was asleep. It missed Chen Dixin terribly! But when it came out, he was gone.
Lu Mingang wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to tell it that Chen Dixin had gone to the arena?
Upon hearing that it was such a dangerous place, the little jellyfish became worried and lost its appetite for several days.
Lu Mingang had no choice but to tell it that it couldn't hold her back. If it stagnated because of this, Di Xin would definitely be very disappointed when she came back.
One sentence was like a magic pill; Zhu Sha immediately stopped being sentimental and started practicing with Yuan Bao from morning till night.
With a smile, Chen Dixin deftly used [Wind Chaser] to teleport behind the swarm of bats, her armband instantly transforming into wings that flapped as she hovered in the air.
She raised her right hand in mid-air, and when she fired the crossbow bolt, her arm was not affected by the recoil at all.
The target was the bat that had been hit in a vital spot.
He charged up two arrows and fired them, this time aiming at a single target.
[The player deals 12 damage to the "bat".]
As the toxin took effect, the bat lost its last bit of blood.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating the "Bat"! Reward: 210 experience points.]
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the title "Survival Shadow". The Killing Aura currently provides a 18.8% bonus.]
Such auspicious numbers!
Shen Dixin's mood improved a bit. Today was a great start; she encountered ten opponents at once. Even though the opponents who placed her with single opponents later on, she still reaped quite a lot.
In the Colosseum, corpses do not respawn automatically.
As the last bat's blood spilled onto the field, a deafening cheer erupted from the stands, many of them seeking solace and peace.
Instant kills aren't popular, but when someone can get instant kills every game and plays non-stop from morning till night, viewers will naturally notice them.
Humans and white-faced people don't look that different in general, but Chen Dixin's dashing demeanor and consistent strength quickly made the name a symbolic one.
She even saw that many audience members were holding up signs with the word "沉" (chen), which was an untranslated Chinese character.
Because they didn't understand the aesthetics of strokes and Chinese characters, their writing was very awkward. Some strokes were so meticulous that there wasn't even a hook, while others were so flamboyant that they looked like branches climbing upwards.
Shen Dixin felt a little embarrassed watching this scene, but she couldn't leave the stage yet because the audience would give her warmth.
As supplies piled up in front of Chen Dixin, her smile became increasingly genuine.
Dragging two large truckloads of supplies to the backstage, someone offered a helping hand. Chen Dixin looked up, seemingly complaining but actually secretly sharing her joy, "They're so enthusiastic, if this keeps up I'll have to carry them several times over."
The one-eyed captain didn't care at all, and instead said with certainty, "Yes, all the white-faced people will like you."
"Why? Is the power of a title really that great?" Shen Dixin asked a startling question, seemingly unconcerned about bringing up the topic of titles in front of an "NPC".
She had interacted with the captain in the same way in her past life, but back then she was tricked into revealing it by the old fox.
When Shen Dixin received her first gift, she was stunned. She had been there for three months and never knew she could receive a gift. She felt like she had wasted her life.
Those cold-blooded, bloodthirsty white-faced people actually have... a fangirl side? She searched with great difficulty for this word that seemed so out of place with their image.
Even the fair-skinned man, Zhan Lan, who was most friendly and admired her, was not treated as a kind person by Shen Dixin. She was equally cold and stern to unrelated people.
This is truly a difficult thing to explain.
Shen Dixin has been receiving gifts for a week now, and the amount is increasing every day. Yesterday, she received enough supplies to upgrade her ship to level seven halfway.
If it weren't for the fact that pale-faced people tend to choose a spot to sit for a long time, she would have recognized many familiar faces and almost thought that everyone who had come in the past week was a newcomer.
The one-eyed captain chuckled. "That's why, but not entirely."
Shen Dixin was speechless and didn't pursue the matter further. Having so many supplies was a good thing! This way, she wouldn't have to worry about falling behind the main group when she returned.
She patted the cart generously, "Is there anything you need? If not, I'll send it back to the ship."
For the star contestant who receives a gift, many things can make things convenient, such as mailing services, or even having their own messenger.
"I think you want me to select the high-end supplies."
The one-eyed captain cut to the chase, but he had already started taking inventory.
His eye was like it was wearing gold-rimmed glasses; he could easily distinguish which things were more valuable just by scanning them, unlike Chen Dixin, who had to hold the items in her hand to check the information, and even after reading the descriptions, she didn't know how to use them.
"What did Hanming say? Is everything alright outside?" Shen Dixin asked.
Confined in the arena, nothing from the outside world could be brought in, and she couldn't even touch her pets. Fortunately, the one-eyed captain could act as a transit point, so she wouldn't be completely cut off from news.
"That's great. It says your island has a lot more strangers now, and it's bustling with people every day."
My island?
It took Shen Dixin a couple of seconds to realize that it was a stronghold that had been captured. Staying in the arena for too long felt like being cut off from the world.
It sounds like Lu Mingang and his team have built a pretty good base!
She nodded in satisfaction. Shen Dixin had never been to anyone else's stronghold before; those were usually the core areas of the fleet.
Filled with anticipation, Shen Dixin did not plan to return too soon, because with more gifts, she could gain more benefits by staying here.
She asked the captain to deliver the message back.
