Chapter 399 Distant Fragrance, Nearby Stench



Cheng Shuang and Sun Han actually shared the same thought. She believed that although her Uncle Sun was an adult, what did age matter in the face of death? An adult's vulnerability and breakdown could happen in an instant. She wanted to give Uncle Sun a warm, comforting, and fragrant hug to welcome him back!

The two comforted each other, but after a while, Liu Juan and Du Jun couldn't stand it anymore and forcibly separated the two.

Liu Juan couldn't hide her jealousy and glared at Sun Han, "Come on, Brother Sun, look what you've done to my precious hair!"

Du Jun's expression was also not good, his cold eyes shooting out icy arrows, "Brother Sun, didn't you say it hurts wherever you touch it?"

Sun Han was full of questions. Who was fawning over him just now, and now they've turned into a disgusted 'get lost' attitude? Is that really appropriate?

The Du brothers stood by and watched, chuckling maliciously as if they were enjoying the spectacle. The atmosphere of unity and friendship vanished, and Sun Han immediately felt the chilling reality of the decline of human nature.

As the old saying goes, distance makes things better, and proximity makes things worse. He shouldn't be here; he should be in the plastic bag...

After they had rested enough, seeing that it was still early, they took out the pills and cards belonging to the Zhu siblings and handed them to Sun Han.

There were many pills: 12 red pills, 35 blue pills, and 10 white pills, including one precious black pill. There were originally 8 green pills, but they were all given to Cheng Shuang. Not only that, Du Jun and Du Lanshan each put a green pill they had kept for themselves into the little girl's mouth.

Sun Han had already returned the two stones to the two men. His companions had done their best to save him, and he shouldn't let them bear such a burden.

He had no way to repay the little girl's kindness, so he could only remember it silently in his heart.

Although she was an indispensable companion, the girl's goodness couldn't be overlooked simply because of their close relationship and trust. All he could do was keep her in the most important place in his heart, a place that even death couldn't surpass!

There were eight cards, originally eleven. Three of them had a non-transferable attribute, meaning they could not be exchanged or given away briefly while their owners were unconscious or dead. Therefore, they were automatically returned to the Zhu siblings' storage space.

Du Jun glanced at the descriptions quickly. None of the three cards were offensive. One was a one-time protective shield card, another was an extremely valuable unlimited food card, and the last one was very targeted, a card that increased affinity for metal.

This explains why they have such a large stockpile of blue pills.

The pills were divided equally among the six people.

Each person received two red pills. Cheng Shuang took five blue pills, and the remaining 30 pills were given to each of the five people in six portions. She didn't take the white pills, and after some discussion, they gave the precious black pills to the little girl.

The negative effects of the repairman skill are like an invisible bomb, which could explode at any time in the next cycle of reincarnation. The Black Orb's effect may only solve the problem temporarily, but it's better than having no hope at all.

None of them could be sure that the place of death would be with Cheng Shuang afterward; the worst part was that she had been given a solo ticket...

Therefore, giving the black pill to her was the most resolute decision made by the group.

Sun Han received half of the eight cards. He was clearly caught in an undeserved disaster, as the other side was targeting their entire team. Although the main target was Cheng Shuang, he was the one who suffered the most. The rest were given to Cheng Shuang. If it weren't for the little girl's lucky streak, she would have already made it past the children's play area and accidentally retrieved all the dolls. No one dared to imagine what would have happened afterward.

Their companions meant well, but that's not how you calculate things. If it weren't for their presence and protection, neither Cheng Shuang nor Sun Han would have the confidence to fight alone.

The death was real, and the scam was real.

Cheng Shuang, in particular, knew in her heart that the other party was only targeting her, and all her companions were implicated.

Despite this thought, the little girl didn't impulsively take out all the cards and divide them up. She pulled Sun Han to a corner and discussed it for a few minutes. The two of them put the eight cards away, each choosing two cards first, and the remaining four cards could be given to their companions one each.

After all, everyone contributed to this showdown between the two rest stops. Although Liu Juan may not have made any specific moves, the card she was holding, ready to be activated at any time, was their last resort and trump card.

Cheng Shuang currently possesses the following number of pills: 12 red, 20 blue, 8 green, 5 white, and 1 black.

Last time, she used the Black Orb to remove the negative effects of the 'Red Cloak,' reducing the chance of being watched by the BOSS to one percent. And it actually worked somewhat. For example, Bai Xiuzhi in 'The New World Born from the Cocoon,' although he also had his eye on her, didn't have the same stubbornness as the class monitor in 'The Old School's Shadows.'

This time, Cheng Shuang wanted to use the Black Orb on the one-time 'Prank Cloak', but when the two collided, the feedback was that the clone card without stars was not qualified to be upgraded.

The little girl clutched the 'Prank Cloak' card, feeling a bit awkward. She sighed silently at its low status, then turned and temporarily put away the Black Ball, starting to study the two new cards.

Atona's Prank Cloak Card: Hello, is this the union? I want to file a complaint; I've been subjected to workplace discrimination!

Cheng Shuang has a lot of cards, a total of 21, plus one counterfeit card. However, there are a few cards that are very unlikely to be used, such as 'Lord Aidorak's Castle'. This card is the type that can be used to destroy the opponent. Unless he is completely powerless to turn the tide, Cheng Shuang can keep it in his box forever.

There are many Eyes of the Abyss, but they have very high environmental requirements. They must be made of pure wood, otherwise they can only be on vacation.

So the little girl was extremely interested in the two cards she had blindly chosen, and when she opened the descriptions, she was overjoyed.

The first card is a super-star card for all rest stops.

[The ultimate divine favor of the Superstar—the lucky ones chosen by the Gate of Reincarnation, you will receive the greatest benefit from the consciousness of your Earth, a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, so please cherish it. The Earth consciousness has not only nurtured countless lives but also provided you with the most favorable living environment. Now, it is giving its all to support your efforts. Keep going, maintainers! Upgrade your rest stations, upgrade your levels, strive to survive, and fight for a brand new future!]

This card is a bit unusual.

Cheng Shuang's first thought after reading the instructions.

She called everyone over and showed them the card.

Du Jun frowned slightly; the term "Earth consciousness" had appeared more than once.

He initially thought it was just the remnants of Earth's consciousness remaining in the land of death, but now it seems that the Earth's consciousness in the present world is also 'watching over' its protectors.

“I have a less-than-pleasant guess.” Sun Han pushed up his glasses and, seeing everyone looking at him, said softly, “Could our existence be a kind of revelation? Before the Land of Death was invaded by the Wanderers, their Earth consciousness should have been intact, and they could have cooperated with the Gate of Reincarnation to select maintainers?”
