Chapter 155
Su Xingyuan doesn't seem to be in good condition. In fact, his attribute panel is indeed average compared to before he entered the portal.
The reason was simple. There was a slight disorder on his panel. Su Xingyuan had probably succeeded in expanding the game bug on his own. Now the attribute points on the panel could not be moved temporarily, and the buttons for resetting points were also grey and could not be interacted with.
But if we explain it in a more understandable way, this situation is probably that Su Xingyuan used the human body to bear various unbearable properties, resulting in deep trauma that is temporarily difficult to repair.
Su Xingyuan looked at his panel, and a new column of text appeared at the end of the attributes:
[Status: Backlash]
He looked away, not really paying attention.
First, when he decided to kill the Demon King by repeatedly resetting his points and making one of his attributes reach its extreme, he had anticipated the possible consequences and made preparations in advance.
Always carry Orion, who has the ability to pause, with you, and keep the special effect of the title [What's wrong with you if you survive more than three seconds].
So at the moment when he killed the Demon King and his body finally couldn't hold on and began to fall apart, he immediately used the [Fake Death] effect that came with the title [What's Wrong with You if You Survived Three Seconds], entering a state of fake death within three seconds and being immune to damage.
Three seconds was enough time for Orion, an S-rank hunter, to take some emergency measures on him, such as using recovery items - if it worked, that would be the best result.
And if it doesn't work...
Orion's ability to pause will buy time for Su Xingyuan.
Su Xingyuan knew that using this ability would accelerate Orion's aging, but to be honest, compared with Orion's life, the cost of aging was not worth mentioning at all. Su Xingyuan didn't think that saving him was not worth the price Orion had to pay.
He can save people, but he is also a player. Although many beings gave him the title of savior without asking for his opinion, this obviously did not make Su Xingyuan become compassionate and charitable.
With the existence of Orion, who is at least S-level, if nothing unexpected happens, Su Xingyuan will probably be able to smoothly hand over the power to Country C. He is very sure that Country C's Hunter Association, including the Savior Protection Association, will not sit idly by, and perhaps they can take this opportunity to fish out some good things from the Savior Protection Association.
But if in the end there is really no way out, and this backlash is meant to kill him, Su Xingyuan can reload the save file, go back to the moment before the reset, and think of other ways - or simply not be so ruthless.
Things went just as he imagined, until the light continued to cover him, time stopped for him, and the game prompt suddenly popped up.
[Players get "inspiration"]
[Players get "inspiration"]
[Players get "inspiration"]
…
Then, when the "inspiration" accumulates to a certain level——
[The player's "inspiration" has transformed into "epiphany"]
Su Xingyuan: “?”
He blinked slowly.
Combining the previous [You Glimpse a Moment of Eternity] with [Enlightenment], it is a very wonderful feeling, as if something has already emerged without thinking.
Su Xingyuan looked at his panel again.
He only remembered that in the end, in order to escape the Demon King's destruction range, all his attribute points remained on [Agility].
Over 600, [Agility] beyond the limits of human beings...
"You must save him...!"
Orion's voice sounded faintly in his ears, and no one noticed that under the warm orange light, the black-haired boy's fingers were trembling slightly.
If Orion was still sane at this moment, with his S-rank hunter's observation ability, he would definitely notice this unusual scene - under the influence of the [Pause] ability that accelerated aging, the black-haired boy, whose heart should have been still, actually moved very slightly.
He is struggling with time-related abilities...
In other words, he has the ability to understand time.
However, Su Xingyuan stopped only halfway through his attempt.
He began to rummage through his backpack.
Since the situation was stable - being suspended in time could certainly be called a kind of stability - and he could also interfere with this stop in a subtle way, he could slowly select things that might be useful.
Due to his hoarding nature, his backpack was filled with a bunch of random things of various kinds. Su Xingyuan even found a pair of black high heels. He thought carefully for a moment, then he remembered that he put the high heels into the backpack because he was in a playful mood and wanted to know whether fighting in high heels would affect his balance and agility in the game.
Letting go of the high heels, he continued searching.
Finally, in the corner at the bottom, he found a disposable prop that he had almost forgotten.
[Name: Blessing of the Kuli Tribe]
[Description: The blessing obtained by the new young leader successor of the Kuli tribe praying for the player at the resting place of the tribe's heroic spirits]
This was one of the items that appeared in his backpack after he entered the portal alone for the first time and solved the trouble for the Kuli tribe.
Since it is a disposable prop, it must have corresponding effects. Su Xingyuan looked left and right but couldn't find any explanation for the effect, so he just used it directly.
The next second, Su Xingyuan saw that the status of [Backlash] on his personal panel changed to [Backlash-Mild].
Does it directly reduce the player's negative status?
Su Xingyuan was a little surprised. Although this disposable item did not completely eradicate the negative status, it was able to work on the backlash that had basically killed everyone. For an item obtained in the early stage of the game, it was already a very good effect.
The attribute panel was still in a blocked state. Su Xingyuan withdrew his gaze and began to break the [Pause] that enveloped him.
As expected, this time after the passage of time, his body did not continue to collapse - the part of his body that was affected by [Backlash] was eliminated.
Although it is still unknown when the side effects on the attribute panel will disappear, using this price in exchange for killing the third demon king is still a win for Su Xingyuan.
The first is the huge amount of experience points, which directly filled Su Xingyuan's huge experience needs and pushed his level to lv.55. When his level had reached the middle and late stages, he was promoted four levels in a row and obtained 40 free attribute points. However, due to the closed state of the attribute panel, he could not control it immediately.
The second is the drops from the third demon king. Perhaps because it likes to steal things from different races, the items it drops are the most that Suxingyuan has ever seen. Specifically, they include [Undead Head of the Sixth Demon Lord*1], [Advanced Magic Cores*5], [Beast Cage*1], [Tentacle Accessory*1] and [Scarlet Sword of the Fourth Demon Lord*1].
As usual, Su Xingyuan stuffed all the high-level magic cores into the little black dragon, and checked the remaining items one by one.
[Name: The Sixth Demon King's Undead Head]
[Description: The person who wears this head will have the ability to command the undead. But please note that commanding the undead will deepen the user's connection with the Sixth Demon Lord, and there is a certain chance that the user will be assimilated into the "Sixth Demon Lord"]
Su Xingyuan looked at the panel thoughtfully. The third demon king had this head but had no ability to use it, probably because he was afraid of its side effects. Before he decided to use it, he was taken away by Su Xingyuan's combo.
This side effect does seem to be a problem, and Su Xing originally stuffed the undead head deep into his backpack.
【Name: Animal Cage】
[Description: No beast can resist the tempting scent emanating from the trap. It will be your best friend in hunting.]
[Note: This item is a disposable item]
【Name：Wrist and foot accessories】
[Description: A decorative item with a peculiar aesthetic. After equipping this item, the player can obtain the passive skill [Mental Pollution], which will cause people who [notice] the player to have certain negative emotions, cognitive confusion, and mental breakdown. This skill is indiscriminately applied to enemies and friends.
[Name: The Fourth Demon Lord's Crimson Sword]
[Description: Once used as one of the fourth demon king's means of attack, it was later taken by the third demon king. The appearance of this sword is a black-red long sword made of flesh and blood. Consuming magic power can activate the Blood Red Sword's skill [Red Rain], causing area damage. After equipping this sword, Strength +50, Intelligence -20]
[Note: Using this sword may cause others to have a bad impression of you; it is a special weapon that can be equipped with ordinary weapons at the same time]
"...I need a new knife."
Just as Su Xingyuan came to this conclusion, the description of the Crimson Sword popped up.
The durability of [Ding Fengbo] and [Smashing Moon Blade] are both in jeopardy, and the blade of [Smashing Moon Blade] is even a little rolled. If used again, it will probably be destroyed. Su Xing was not willing to see the durability of his old friend reduced to zero and turned into ashes. It happened that he had no suitable weapon now, and all his attribute points were piled on agility, so he needed equipment to fill the gap. He decided to use [Crimson Sword] to deal with the emergency.
He was not interested in swords in general, let alone this evil sword that had passed through the hands of two demon kings. Therefore, Su Xingyuan's purpose was still quite clear - first plunder Country A to see if there were any good things, such as a handy knife, and then ask the officer for his six million magic crystals.
With [Thousand Mile Voice Transmission], finding someone is just a matter of time.
After happily making the decision, Su Xingyuan walked towards the two iconic buildings of Country A.
"Wait, the Star Hunter—"
The reporter wanted to persuade Su Xingyuan to take good care of his injuries and reveal a few things that happened in the portal. It would not be too late to do anything else after he recovered. After all, even Su Xingyuan was a human being who needed rest and could not work non-stop.
But the next second, her voice was stuck in her throat.
——The hunter, who was covered in blood and had just escaped death and was still in a weak state, quietly drew out a sword.
He had never used a sword before, but his movements were not stiff or stagnant at all. They were natural and smooth, as if he was born to be a swordsman. As long as you don't look at the appearance of the sword, the way he took the sword just now is enough to be included in the etiquette textbook of martial arts or fairy tale films and TV shows.
But the problem is "don't look at the appearance of the sword."
The reporter's eyes were uncontrollably glued to the sword. Her breathing became heavy, not because of covetousness, but because of fear.
It was a long sword... made of red blood and flesh. The veins of the blood vessels were hidden in the sword, gently vibrating with the movements of the black-haired boy, as if it were a breathing living thing, emitting a weirdness and madness that could almost corrode one's sanity.
This is a sword that kills.
The black-haired boy's beautiful green eyes revealed an undisguised murderous intent.
