Chapter 115 Eliminating a Harm for the People (Bonus Chapter with Nutrient Solution) He had a great deal of wealth…
The transmission of thoughts is instantaneous. In a sense, the Shadow Slave is an extension of the Shadow Man's limbs, which he can control without any hindrance, just like controlling his own hands and feet.
However, allowing them to act entirely according to his will means that the Shadow Man needs to give them orders at all times, which is extremely mentally and physically exhausting. Therefore, he usually loosens some of the shackles and lets them act according to his commands.
This was also part of the reason why he didn't want to prolong the battle. Feeling the throbbing pain in his head, he cursed Shen Dixin for being a fly instead of a human, buzzing around and giving him a headache, while regretting that he shouldn't have taken over the Shadow Slave so early.
[Recasting] can reshape the form of matter. A perfectly good ship was molded into a cage shape and kept shrinking.
As Shen Dixin was gradually driven to the brink of despair, she faced the shadow man with an air of certainty and raised the same smile.
After escaping for so long, she finally mastered the power of her soul impact. Her attacks were now as light as a feather. Without saying a word, Chen Dixin unleashed a soul impact on herself. Her spirit successfully separated from her body, while her physical body sank straight into the sea.
The shadow man tried to catch the falling body, but Shen Dixin stopped him. She stretched her limbs and gave him a creepy smile.
"It's my turn."
With a punch and a kick, the shadow man was nearly knocked out of his body!
It was literally an out-of-body experience; his body was no longer under his control. He was greatly shaken, but he still maintained his plan and attacked Chen Dixin.
But the claws easily passed right through her body, unable to hit her.
Shen Dixin ignored him and instead dodged and extinguished the faint soul flames of the six shadow slaves with a single, precise pinch.
Without the soul's power, they fell one by one. If the shadow man wanted to control them again, he could only stuff a part of his own soul into them.
But he himself was overwhelmed. The situation suddenly changed drastically, and there was no one left standing on the field except for Shen Dixin. The shadow man turned into a black shadow and quickly hid in the shadows.
"Can you hide?" Shen Dixin asked softly, stepping on the shadowy figure. Now the shadowy man was truly under her feet.
Actually, if he didn't turn back into a shadow, things would be fine. Spirits can't really cause much harm to physical humans, just like physical beings can hardly harm spirits. He could only bully guys like Shadow Slave, whose soul power is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
Both are spirits, and Chen Qingxin had been waiting for this moment ever since he decided to leave his body.
Before long, the dark shadow vanished into thin air, absorbed by the illusory image of the necklace still floating in front of her chest.
Shen Dixing saw all the resentment and unwillingness he felt before his death, but unfortunately no one cared about what regrets a dead person might have. Even the things that coffee hadn't figured out were no longer important.
She shook her head, explaining that she had simply discovered a faster way and was trying to save money.
Even without using Soul Impact, her 17-slot inventory was filled with all sorts of medicines, dishes, and combat items. He wasn't the only one holding back; Chen Qingxin had a full two hundred units of medicine, enough to replenish her health bar dozens of times.
She placed several sets of attack items such as bombs, pods, and worms. Even if you were conservative, wouldn't ten or eight items be enough to kill them once?
While other players were working their hardest to upgrade their ships to level six, Shen Dixin had almost doubled the materials for her level seven ship. He knew nothing about her wealth!
Fortunately, Shen Dixin didn't know that the Shadow Man's unused "trump card" was the Shadow Slave, who could be resurrected more than thirty times, and herself, who was evenly matched with her. Otherwise, she would have burst out laughing.
What she feared were killers who could kill with a single blow, whose martial arts were so high that no matter how many vials of blood she had, it was only a matter of time before they could finish. Just like Yuebai, no matter how thick Chen Dixin's blood bar was, in her eyes it was only a matter of time before he died.
Such characters, who rely solely on sheer numbers to kill an elephant, can only be considered scoundrels; calling them assassins is an overestimation of their abilities.
No wonder there was a failure. Shen Dixin suddenly realized that she had taken this enemy too seriously and hadn't used any of the tools she had prepared.
Who would have thought that they relied not on strength or wealth, but on longevity?
Thinking of this, she shook her head again. No, she still had to be careful. She couldn't afford to make a mistake even once. It was just some supplies; as long as she was alive, she could always earn more.
No one knows what strange skills the next player will have, such as... shadows. She sensed that the guy had escaped, but someone else acted before her.
She looked over and saw several heads suddenly appearing on the side of the boat. They were Lu Mingang, his two pets, and Tao Ling, who was half octopus and half human, and had arrived the fastest.
Zhu Sha's tentacles, entwined with a patch of black mist, waved and waved, trying to curry favor with Chen Dixin. It was the escaped Shadow Man who had been hit by Zhu Sha's full-force pressure and immediately fell unconscious.
Shen Dixin took it and fed the last bit of power to the hungry Moonlight Necklace, as absorbing other soul energies would benefit it.
Several pairs of eyes scanned Chen Dixin with curiosity, but Zhu Sha rushed over and missed.
Lu Mingang quickly lifted Shen Dixin's body up. They had been hiding under the boat with sacks. Without the bubble capsules, seawater was the best weapon.
They were just waiting for Shen Dixin's order to pounce and drag the enemy into the water. They would kill as many as they could, and even if they didn't die, slowing them down would be no problem.
As for the other ship, it only contained simple illusionary props.
Tao Ling had actually arrived ten minutes earlier. The moment she confirmed the enemy's identity, Shen Dixin chose to summon her two other followers.
Upon seeing Chen Dixin's ship from an unknown distance, Tao Ling immediately merged with the octopus and cheetah, as well as with her two pets. She used a new technique she learned after passing her professional assessment, making her swim faster than even a triple speed-up card!
She first saw a person and two pets lurking suspiciously by the side of the boat. Her expression froze, and after exchanging glances, another person appeared clinging to the side of the boat.
They were all waiting for Chen Dixin's instructions. As soon as Zhu Sha made the corresponding gesture, it would be time to take action!
After waiting and waiting, what I received was a heart-wrenching silence, as if the ship had "crashed" and there was no breath left!
The air beneath the ship seemed to freeze for a moment.
They almost lunged forward to fight those people. Although Zhu Sha was equally anxious, Shen Dixin was still trying to contact it. It managed to calm down and used its tentacles to pull the two back, gesturing that its master was still alive and should stay put.
Shen Dixin touched her nose, feeling a strange sensation as she lay in Lu Mingang's arms with her eyes closed.
After her soul entered her body, she hurriedly boarded the ship, quickly changed her clothes in a few dozen seconds, and called them to come aboard to search for supplies. The shadow man's ship was still not far away!
During the journey, she checked the system notifications and was surprised to find that she had obtained two marks in a row.
[Congratulations to the player for consecutively defeating five of their own kind at a similar life level. Reward: 300 experience points and 1 Hunting Mark.]
[Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating "Deer Hunter"! Reward: 500 experience points and 1 Hunting Mark.]
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the title "Survival Shadow". The Killing Aura currently provides a 0.2% bonus.]
She only gets this item when killing sea monster bosses, and she thought the requirements were quite high, but she didn't expect to get it so quickly by killing other players.
Even knowing this, Shen Dixin could not bring himself to harm innocent fellow human beings for personal gain.
She opened the status bar and saw that the hunting marks had already stacked to five layers.
What's the use of the mark? Logically, numbers like five or ten should trigger the next stage, but it doesn't move at all.
Next door are several statuses that have remained unchanged for years, such as 【？？？·Hunter's Expectation】 and 【**'s Gaze】.
Shen Dixin stared at the three of them together for a while, feeling that there was some connection between them. Could they all be the work of Hunter Blade? It had been a long time since she had seen it.
The deer hunter was the player who controlled the shadows. As I sailed toward his ship, coffee and fortune arrived almost simultaneously.
His estimate of half an hour was indeed ample. Normally, it would take between one and a half to three hours to summon servants. Even with a triple speed-up card, it would still take half an hour, not to mention the thunder in the sky right now!
Shen Dixin watched as the coffee boat's sail was split twice, but was quickly repaired.
It can attract lightning to some extent; lightning even prefers to strike sails rather than lightning rods, perhaps as a way to punish players.
The scene was so moving that Shen Dixin watched it twice before remembering to tell them not to worry, that she was alright!
Chen Dixin: (Erkang's hand) Don't waste resources!
Coffee/Luck is on my side: Boss/Sister Chen needs me!!
So Shen Dixin watched as they repaired the sails three more times, not checking the messages on their wristbands at all. They were so busy that it was as if the boat wasn't sailing, but rather they were struggling bit by bit with oars.
However, out of concern for himself, Shen Di looked at them with a guilty conscience, his hesitant demeanor seeming somewhat deliberate.
"Sister Chen, why are you walking with the same foot forward and backward?"
"No way! Have they all lost their minds?! I'm going to grind them to dust!"
My luck on this boat had no stabilizer; it was running at three times the speed the whole time, and my brain was practically being shaken to its core! I immediately leaned over and vomited to my heart's content. In my dazed state, I heard this and turned around in shock, my eyes clear yet bewildered.
Because Shen Dixin's soul had left his body, he was indeed very weak, reacted slowly, and moved awkwardly as if he were meeting his limbs for the first time.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears; she must have vomited a lot.
"Sister Chen! Don't worry, no matter what you become, I will take care of you. As long as I have a bowl of soup, you will have a bowl of rice!"
Now everyone on the boat looked at her. Tao Ling put out the wheelchair, and a large clump of octopus tentacles disappeared. She swung the wheelchair over and gently patted her sister's back, but her words were anything but gentle.
"Sister, if you're really sleepy, why don't you borrow Sister Dixin's bed for a nap?"
She vomited for a while longer before I looked up and grabbed Chen Dixin. She seemed a little nervous, afraid that someone had vomited on her.
"I'm fine. Let's go loot the spoils."
As I breathed a sigh of relief, I leaned closer and made a gesture, "Sister Chen, what number is this?"
Cleanse the mind.
Meeting the deep worry in her eyes, Chen Dixin finally managed to squeeze out a single word.
"three!"
"Oh no, it seems like there's really a problem. She actually replied to such a boring and stupid question."
As I murmured to myself, my heart pounded and the veins on my forehead throbbed. That familiar expression returned, and she immediately calmed down, chuckling to herself.
Before he could take two steps, Chen Dixin collapsed straight down.
Although Tao Ling next door was in a wheelchair, she was faster than everyone else present, and caught her with a beautiful wheelchair drift.
She also subtly belittled all the able-bodied humans with her eyes, and Yunwei reacted the most, exclaiming, "Is Sister Chen going to be so angry that she fainted?!"
Lu Mingang hurriedly took out the food to restore Shen Dixin's stamina and fed it to her. He knew almost all of her plans and tools, so the effects of the medicine she drank must have worn off.
The higher the level of the special potion, the more it increases the numerical value, but also the side effects. Unlike the basic potion, which only reduces attributes, the intermediate potion will reduce the player's stamina and maximum health by 20%.
The high-level potion not only combines the worst aspects of the previous two, but it will also cause the player's stamina and health to drop to 0.1%, making drinking it a truly desperate move.
With a mouthful of soup barely held in her mouth, Shen Dixin slowly woke up: "...You woke me up by making me angry."
After confirming that Chen Dixin was alright and just needed to rest, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They arrived at their destination just in time, and Shen Dixin's second words were to tell them to scavenge for supplies. Ten minutes had already passed, and if they didn't hurry, they wouldn't get any benefits.
I need to at least make back the price difference from using half my savings to buy the props!
Acquiring so many things at once is extremely unprofitable. Not to mention anything else, the current market price for painkillers is 300 plywood, but at most 300 plywood can only buy a dozen or twenty units. If you want more, you have to raise the price.
If we can't use them later and resell them, even if we get a premium, it's still a pure loss. If we want to exchange them all for supplies, we'll probably lose two-fifths of the profits from selling ice blocks this week.
Shen Dixin didn't even dare to let coffee do such a thing for her.
Since I started working for her, Coffee thought that since all the buyer information I collected was just sitting there, why not sell it to more companies?
As a result, her purchasing agent business flourished. She not only worked for Shen Dixin, but also helped other players collect the resources they needed.
If Coffee were to purchase supplies on a large scale, unsuspecting players would likely assume that she, or the powerful figures behind her, had received a message that perhaps the next disaster would require intense combat, making it difficult to acquire medicine then.
So Shen Dixin deliberately had the only one not on the list, and whose identity was so transparent that almost no one knew about his Xingtu Wanli, do this, using the excuse that he had offended people.
For three or four days in a row, he appeared in public with a gloomy face. It was too much to ask someone with social anxiety to do acquisition work.
...
"Huh? So many forging stones!"
"This guy is so poor. Didn't he upgrade to a level 6 ship? How come he doesn't even have much basic supplies on board after killing so many people?"
"It's alright, quite a lot of good stuff. Xiaoyun, you've gotten a bit carried away selling Gu worms lately. Don't forget me when you're rich and powerful!"
"Wow, I found a golden pet egg! Luckily it wasn't eliminated."
Sounds came from all directions. It was unclear whether most of the supplies had been taken before they arrived. The team members looked at each other in dismay at their loot. It wasn't a small amount, but it didn't seem to match their status. They were supposed to be ruthless, committing all sorts of atrocities, but this was all they had in their nest?
Perhaps only the Deer Hunter, now resting in peace, knows the truth about this matter.
After calming down, Shen Dixin was finally able to get up. Seeing the supplies she had gathered, her heartache eased somewhat.
Moreover, aside from offensive tools, medicine can be kept on hand, as it will be needed in the next disaster.
Just contribute a little, enough to gather the resources needed to upgrade to level 7 ships.
The most valuable of the deer hunter's belongings was the box of forging stones, which contained not only thirty of them but also the matching materials. Unfortunately, his pair of claw blades had turned into specks of light with the passing of their master.
The damage he dealt was completely mismatched with his attributes; the claw blade must be a top-tier purple weapon.
Shen Dixin left behind the forging stone. After thinking it over, he decided not to let everyone make a wasted trip, especially for that golden pet egg!
She could never keep another pet, so this egg would be best given to Tao Ling.
To be honest, the deer-hunting supplies are few, but everything they have is top-notch!
It's estimated that during the robbery, basic supplies disappeared along with the player, leaving them with only these rare items that they wouldn't carry around.
The pet egg was too precious, so it was divided between the two sisters. The remaining rare metals were packed up and given to Coffee, who was currently working on upgrading her ship to level six and needed them.
Shen Dixin didn't forget to tell the ranked players in the group about this, and also attached photos of Lie Lu and the others boarding the ship.
Coffee or tea: Sister Shen is awesome! She's ridding the people of a scourge!
Forward or backward: I'm so grateful to the top contributor. I haven't been able to sleep since I narrowly escaped death last time, and I can't sit still without spending a lot of money to buy a hiding card every day.
The mouse is scared: Happiness +1! Finally, I don't have to live in fear anymore. Let's celebrate by eating the watermelon I just grew!
The group was very lively, and even Chen Dixin, who rarely gets interested, sent prop red envelopes to the group to liven up the atmosphere.
Nobody wants to leave the group once things are resolved; this is the first group chat that brings together all the ranked players! Let whoever wants to leave, leave; they're not leaving anyway.
Actually, such groups should have existed a long time ago, but Shen Dixin doesn't usually manage things except for doing business, and negotiation is not her forte, so she's too lazy to organize these things. Anyway, the shop can handle 99% of the transaction needs.
Other players are concerned because these large group chats require extremely expensive group chat cards to activate, costing at least a thousand wooden planks. Anyone would feel the pinch if they had to spend that much money on these resources alone.
Another reason is... no one dares to overstep their bounds. If Shen Dixing thinks they want to take her place and exclude her, that would be a big problem. Players with such thoughts are not familiar with Shen Dixing and do not want to be the first to stick their neck out.
Now that's great. No matter what the reason, everyone is in the group. Before, when we had important business to discuss, we didn't dare to send messages randomly in this group. Now everyone is free to say whatever they want.
Even at most, only thirty or forty people can be talking at the same time, so the chat isn't very fast. This is just enough time for everyone to exchange information and allocate resources as they wish.
As for ordinary players, they had no idea about this from beginning to end. They would just casually glance at the leaderboards and remark, "Several ranked players died today."
Before falling asleep, Chen Dixin, as usual, placed a feather under her pillow.
In the murky darkness, she saw the Hunter Blade again, its eyes filled with evasion and apology.
Faced with the terrifying beast, the first thought that flashed through Shen Dixin's mind was, was it embarrassed for hurting her?
She shook her head silently, thinking how narcissistic and terrifying her thoughts were.
This time, Hunter Blade didn't try to amuse her like he would a small animal; it seemed he was just there to take a quick look.
Even though it was a dream, Chen Dixin seemed to hear a system notification.
"Congratulations... player..."
Under the sun's rays, the temperature gradually rose, and when Chen Dixin opened her eyes, it was already seven o'clock! The sun had already rushed into the house!
The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to look at her status bar.
The five hunting marks did indeed disappear; the Hunter's Blade might have appeared last night for this reason.
