Chapter 22 Talent Suppression, He's Doomed
The materials needed to make bows and arrows were hard to find, so Ji Xinghan put the blueprints in the supply box.
I'm too tired today, I'm going to sleep now!
We can't let our newly made bed go to waste!
She yawned, closed the chat channel and window, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the morning, as the rosy dawn breaks and the sun rises: [The sun is out, the danger has receded, and the diligent adventurers can continue their journey!]
Ji Xinghan stretched and sat up.
She slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
Today is the third day of my survival attempt. Unfortunately, I don't even have a toothbrush, so I can't brush my teeth.
Ji Xinghan picked up a bottle of water, rinsed his mouth, drank a few sips, and opened the chat channel.
The chat channel was in an uproar:
"Hundreds more people died yesterday. How did they die?"
"They starve to death, die of thirst, die of stupidity, die of loneliness and isolation. Sigh, being hungry every day is so boring!"
"Breakfast—a rice cake half-eaten by a poisonous snake. What do you think, should I eat it or not?"
"Are you out of your mind? But snakes do like rice cakes?"
"Hey, it's a game, so it's not up to us to decide what the game designers, who have no basic common sense, do!"
"At least your stuff is edible. Look at what I've gotten these past two days—green onions, ginger, and chili peppers. Damn it, I was so hungry yesterday that I ate two green onions, and now my stomach hurts!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
If it's scallions, ginger, or chili peppers, then it's definitely not suitable as a staple food.
Ji Xinghan glanced at the person again. Huh, Jin Baiwan?
Didn't I just give him half a roast chicken yesterday? I heard he also ate a plate of meat dumplings before that, so why is he still eating scallions?
Are you that hungry?
Jian Lin couldn't help but ask, "Jin Baiwan, isn't there enough roast chicken?"
Jin Baiwan: "Of course, what good is half a chicken? I was starving at three in the morning and could only eat green onions. Jian Lin, you roasted a chicken for me first thing this morning, and I'll give you a tin can."
Jian Lin: "No, I have to go on a road trip first, I'll make it for you tonight!"
Ji Xinghan messaged Jin Baiwan privately: "I want all your scallions, ginger, and chili peppers. How do I exchange them?"
Jin Baiwan replied excitedly, "Uh, you have kitchen utensils now? Great! The scallions, ginger, and garlic are free for you. Just give me a portion of what you've cooked!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She doesn't want to!
She doesn't like cooking anyway, and she only decided to cook for herself because there was nothing else to eat. How could she bring someone else to freeload?
She resolutely refused: "No way!"
Jin Baiwan said in a strained voice, "I want some, I want some, please give me some!"
Ji Xinghan: "...Blocked!"
Jin Baiwan: "No, hey, how about you give me your leftovers?"
Ji Xinghan: "We'll see!"
She was too lazy to waste words with Jin Baiwan. The sun was already so high in the sky. She should quickly eat something and continue driving and exploring!
She doesn't waste time eating in the morning.
As for ginger and scallions, if we can't get them, we can't get them!
Wait, Ji Xinghan paused. She had completed the 24-hour vehicle upgrade mission, so what was the reward?
Is the system in hibernation mode?
Suddenly, a notification sounded: [Congratulations on completing the task. Rewards are as follows: 1. Unlock the King of Luck - Talent Suppression; 2. Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1; 3. Increase your game inventory by 10 slots.]
A warm current flowed through Ji Xinghan's body, like a surge of life force.
Ji Xinghan's spirits lifted as he felt a mysterious sensation in his body. So this must be the effect of increased attributes!
She quickly opened her personal panel:
ID: hxa0
Name: Ji Xinghan
Age: 22
Strength: 12
Physical condition: 12
Agility: 10
Occupation: None
Skill: King of Luck (I'm the most dazzling in the entire region, the strongest in the entire server, I am the invincible little tyrant of luck!).
The effect is as follows:
1. Talent Sharing: Randomly share the talent skills of one player within the area each day, with double the effects! (Use Now)
2. Talent Suppression: Each day, you can designate one player within a specific area to suppress their talent skills! (Use Now)
3. Talent Stealing: Kill a player and steal their talent skills for your own use, lasting 1-3 days! (To be unlocked)
4. Stay tuned...
Alright!
Now, both talent sharing and talent suppression are available!
Give it a try!
She immediately clicked "Use Now" on "Talent Suppression".
[Beep, please say or write the name of the specified player!]
Ji Xinghan answered without hesitation: "Ji Wenhua!"
[Use "Talent Suppression" to suppress Ji Wenhua's talent skill—Master of Luck!]
[Master of Stealing Luck: Can designate a player, steal their luck for their own use, and subject them to bad luck.]
[Ji Wenhua's innate skill has been suppressed. If he uses it today, he will suffer a rebound effect, resulting in double the bad luck!]
Ji Xinghan smiled. "Good, that's it!"
Let's see how arrogant Ji Wenhua can be now!
Ji Wenhua is stupid and vicious, and his skills are disgusting. That's good. Let's give him a taste of his own medicine and see how unlucky he is today!
Ji Xinghan used talent suppression and talent sharing.
[Beep, Talent Sharing Activated!]
[You shared the skill "Lucky Critical Strike" from your ID and received double the bonus!]
[Lucky Critical Strike: There is a 10% chance to trigger a critical strike effect when crafting, repairing, gathering, etc. today, up to 3 times per day.]
[You have a 20% chance to trigger a critical hit effect when crafting, repairing, gathering, etc., up to 6 times per day.]
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment.
For ordinary players, a lucky critical hit has a 10% chance of triggering, and can be triggered a maximum of 3 times per day.
Therefore, her lucky critical strike has a 20% chance of triggering, and can trigger a maximum of 6 times per day?
That's pretty good, but the odds are rather difficult to predict!
What if she accidentally gets a critical hit on something she doesn't want to be hit, wasting her chance?
Use with caution!
She checked her game inventory again, and sure enough, it had changed to 20 slots!
She was very satisfied and decided to begin a day of adventure!
Drive first!
Ji Xinghan got into the driver's seat and drove off.
The RV was much faster, since there were no cars in front or behind, the road was straight and wide, and the vehicle automatically corrected its course, so it wouldn't deviate from the road or turn.
No need to worry, so Ji Xinghan opened the chat channel.
On the chat channel, someone is spouting nonsense:
Ji Wenhua: "Ji Xinghan, do you feel it? You won't have an easy time today! Let me tell you, anyone who messes with me will not have a good ending!"
Jian Lin: "A remote curse?"
Ge Xiaochuan: "Ji Wenhua, are you trying to die? All this cursing and swearing first thing in the morning is driving me crazy!"
Ji Wenhua: "Jian Lin, Ge Xiaochuan, you're next!"
Ge Xiaochuan: "Tch, maybe you'll be the unlucky one today?"
Ji Wenhua: "Hahaha, how could that be? Today my luck will defy the heavens! In a few hours, I'll upgrade my vehicle. Just you wait, today is my day!"
Ji Xinghan: ? ?
Who gave Ji Wenhua her confidence? Was it her good fortune?
Yes, Ji Wenhua must have used the "Master of Luck Stealing" technique on her, thinking he could steal her luck.
Dream on!
Ji Xinghan estimated that Ji Wenhua was unaware that he was being "suppressed by talent," and that all of this was happening quietly.
Let him be arrogant for a while longer!
Ji Wenhua was spoiled, arrogant, and loved to brag. He was probably quite excited, as he kept rambling in the chat channel: "Haha, sure enough, I'm so lucky today! I found three boxes stacked together up ahead. Wait for me!"
Yan Miaomiao: "Go, Brother Wenhua!"
Ji Wenhua: "Haha, you wait, I'll bring you a box, these three... ah!"
A piercing scream rang out.
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up. Ha, he's in trouble!
