Chapter 17: Seventeen Days of Salted Fish



017:

Every movement and every micro-expression of Sang Luo tells the system one fact:

She refused to save Ji Congwu.

Look at the strength with which he pushed the coffin lid shut tightly.

Not only did she refuse to save him, she even wanted to kick him in who was wandering at the gate of the underworld.

The system crashed.

Although Sang Luo is an important supporting character throughout the book, she is still portrayed as a female villain.

But in terms of influence, He Jicong is incomparable to him.

The male and female protagonists have a strong aura, and Ji Congwu's aura as the villain is not much different.

He is set as the ultimate villain in this book, with the ceiling of combat power, and his goal is to destroy the world.

As the ultimate villain, good will prevail over evil and he will definitely die in the end.

However, the combat system set up by the author later collapsed, and the pit dug in the front could not be filled.

——Based on Ji Congwu’s strength, even if several male protagonists were tied together, they would not be able to defeat him.

So, let the villain suddenly feel that destroying the world is boring and commit suicide.

Moreover, as the biggest villain, in order to maintain the mystery, Ji Congwu has very few official appearances and is only mentioned indirectly by others.

Nor does it set his past.

For example, why is he so powerful and why does he aim to destroy the world?

In the biography, Ji Congwu's description is just two sentences:

[Height 192cm, very good-looking, but bad temper.]

[He is a forsaken disciple of God, a born destroyer.]

Since Ji Congwu is the main villain in the book, the system can figure out his identity with just a scan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to connect the man with only one breath left in the coffin with the villain described in the book who could turn masts and oars into ashes with a wave of his hand.

I feel like if I don't save him.

He would be dead in the next second.

Of course, Ji Congwu, such an important villain with a villain aura, should not die so easily.

but--

Such an important and powerful character, Su Zhu saved him...

Not to mention the life-saving grace, I will repay you with my own life.

No matter what, Ji Congwu will treat the host differently.

For the host, there are only benefits and no harm.

The system couldn't understand why Sang Luo was unwilling to save him.

Just at this time, the system senior who I consulted last time completed the task and went on vacation. He suddenly thought of the newbie, so he sent him a communication to ask how the task was going.

System: "Wow wow wow wow wow, this is too miserable QAQ"

It passed on its complaints and the whole story to its predecessor.

The senior sympathized with it for a second, then consoled it, and finally began to analyze: "The reason why your host doesn't want to save people is actually very obvious."

It's obvious.

But the system trusted the experience of its predecessors, so it humbly asked, "What is it?"

Senior: "She was ambushed and fell into the dense forest. The enemy is hiding in the shadows, with unknown motives and strength. The crisis has not been resolved yet, yet you ask her to distract herself and rescue others. She is a maverick, so how could she obey your wishes?"

After listening to this, the system suddenly understood.

Senior: "At this time, if you want her to do something good, you also need to promise her some benefits."

The system understands.

"But I just awakened her Space Element, and I spent most of my points on it. I don't have enough points left for another awakening..."

Apart from awakening superpowers for the host, it cannot promise any other benefits.

The senior had a rare day off and was in a good mood today. Seeing the junior crying, he asked, "How many points do you still need?"

The system subconsciously said a number.

As soon as the message was passed on, he received a points transfer from a senior.

system:"!!!"

After giving some advice, the senior who also gave me a "red envelope" left a message of encouragement before leaving: "Do a good job, I believe in you."

The system looked at the total points in the background and was moved to tears.

"Don't worry, Senior. I will definitely assist my host in completing the mission perfectly!!!"

Sang Luo, who kicked the coffin lid back, was quite surprised. He screamed and then fell silent.

Enjoy the quietness.

She signaled Die Meili to be quiet.

After receiving her order, the latter had to stop cursing and looked at his broken mouthparts that fell into the mud with great nostalgia and reluctance.

The abdominal eyes turned and looked around vigilantly.

There was a breeze blowing.

In the dense forest, the only sound was the rustling of leaves trembling and colliding with each other;

The light from the sky seeped in through the cracks, and the mud reflected a faint silver light, as if something was swimming around.

It adds a bit of creepy weirdness to this lonely and gloomy space.

Sang Luo withdrew his gaze and glanced at the coffin.

The attacker succeeded in his attack but disappeared immediately.

The other party had been lying in ambush here waiting for her and targeting her?

Or maybe she just happened to be flying through the air, and the other party was also looking to hunt, so he ran into her by coincidence?

No matter which one it is, the other party is probably also a space-type person, and has a high level of understanding and application of teleportation.

The system scan found no abnormalities within 500 meters.

Either the other party's hiding ability is so strong that even the system can't see it, or the other party has already left through teleportation - that's why he disappeared so quickly.

She prefers the second.

Judging from the distance the opponent teleported, he is most likely A-level.

Look at her C again.

Sang Luo: Extremely Disgusted.jpg

It's quite interesting.

She had just awakened the space system, and within just a few days, she encountered two space system people who attacked her.

One has become a dead soul under her command.

After a sneak attack, it disappears immediately.

Moreover, apart from causing the Ghost Shadow Butterfly to fall, no other accidents occurred during this sneak attack.

It’s just that the mount’s wings were injured and it couldn’t carry Sang Luo away from here immediately.

Sang Luo raised his eyes and looked upward, his expression slightly moved.

"Host, host, if you save him, I will awaken your fire ability!"

After thinking about it, the system chose the latter between the wood and fire elements.

Although the wood system can treat Ji Congwu more conveniently and quickly.

But firstly, Hu Lingling is a wood type, so it would be a bit of a duplication and waste to awaken the wood type for Sang Luo.

Secondly, the water element also has healing capabilities, but the effect is not as good as that of the wood element.

Thirdly, there are enemies waiting in the dark, and the main attack is fire. Awakening at this time will improve Sang Luo's strength.

There happened to be a power outage, so she could keep warm without having to draw the hot water bottle charm.

System: There is no other working system in the world who is as devoted to the host as I am!

"I remember you said that awakening superpowers would cost at least a thousand points." Sang Luo caught a fallen leaf in his palm. "After awakening the space element last time, you only had a little over three hundred points left, and you haven't received any bonus points recently... Now you're saying you want to awaken the fire element for me."

After a pause, she continued, "So, you can actually awaken my superpowers at any time without spending any points."

The system felt wronged and grumbled, "How can it not be spent?! I was able to awaken you this time because a senior just gave me points, so I could awaken you again."

Sang Luo smiled and said "Oh": "I see."

Then, he lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking seriously.

After two seconds, she said casually, "Then I want the Lightning type."

Compared to the fire system, the lightning system is more useful.

The days without TV to watch or play games are really boring.

The system almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "..."

The lightning system has the strongest attack power among all superpowers.

The psychic system is the weirdest.

The spatial system is the most variable.

Wind and ice are next.

These five special abilities are inherently powerful, and they require more points to awaken.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are elemental abilities, and their overall level is much weaker than the special abilities. Ninety-nine percent of the survivors awaken elemental abilities.

The remaining 1% of people who have awakened special abilities, since they can awaken special abilities, their lowest level will not be lower than B.

This is the bottom line for special classes.

——If they were low-level C, D, or E upon awakening, wouldn’t that be unfair to their special category layout?

It is only the beginning of the apocalypse, and many people are not clear about the supernatural power system.

Therefore, it is unreasonable for Sang Luo's space awakening level to be C.

Mainly, her ability was awakened through the back door.

If her level was raised at the same time, the system would have crashed long ago.

——This is also the reason why Sangluoti cannot achieve the minimum "S" level.

Sang Luo asked for the lightning system as soon as she opened her mouth. It was like someone gave her a Volkswagen as a gift, but she not only refused it, but also asked for a Maserati.

And he is so confident.

Just ask if you are angry!

The system wiped away its tears in anger and cheered itself up... It granted the host its wish and awakened its lightning powers.

I was originally hoping to awaken the fire element. If everything goes well, maybe I could still have some points left.

Now that's better.

Not a penny left.

I almost failed because I wasn't awakened enough!

At the critical moment, it discovered that the power station was just two kilometers away from the jungle, and it would be a waste to use such a large "battery".

...Anyway, we might as well give it a try.

It turns out that it is quite talented in the business of awakening superpowers.

The moment the lightning element awakens successfully—

From Sangluo to the power supply station, huge electric currents flashed crackling silver-white sparks in the air, leaving behind charred marks wherever they went.

At the same time, clouds in the sky gathered rapidly, gradually changing from grayish-white to gloomy, dark thunderclouds.

It seemed as if an invisible force was stirring madly inside, and deafening thunder resounded between heaven and earth. In an instant, the thunderclouds formed a terrifying vortex.

Countless silver electric sparks as thick as baby arms were roaming in the thundercloud, as if looking for a carrier.

……ah.

Found it.

The awakened energy in Sang Luo's body resonated with it.

The next second, thunder roared and the sky and earth were filled with brilliant silver light.

All the survivors in City C felt this movement.

Someone optimistically looked at the thunderclouds that had not yet dispersed in the sky and joked, "Which fellow Taoist is going through a tribulation?"

Some people were feeling apprehensive and anxious: "Another strange phenomenon from heaven, could it be the same as the conspiracy?"

Some people console themselves by saying, "Maybe there's a thunderstorm over there."

There were also those who frowned thoughtfully: "Could it be... the awakening of superpowers?"

The system was dazzled by the silver light and couldn't see anything clearly.

I just felt that they all rushed into Sang Luo's body.

It was stunned.

Just to awaken successfully, I guided the power station to use it as a battery.

I didn't expect it to be so noisy...

Before it could be happy, it discovered a terrible situation.

Sang Luo's body couldn't withstand such a huge amount of energy and was rapidly breaking down!!!

The system was panicked and anxious: "Host, are you okay?!"

Sang Luo's whole body was crackling with electric sparks, and his carefully curled black hair spread out in the terrifying energy, each strand carrying electricity.

...Four words popped up in the system's mind: Charlie's Angels.

Her face was as pale as a searchlight, and she blurted out word by word: "How do you feel?"

system:"……"

It felt as if her tone was enough to castrate it.

Sang Luo took a hard breath.

The violent energy in her body was running around like a headless fly, and her body was like it was constantly suffering from a series of car accidents.

The unreliable system really caught her off guard.

The system watched as the explosive energy expanded and expanded within Sang Luo's body. If she didn't find a way out, her body would be unable to withstand it and would "snap" -

Now it is snapping non-stop.

It shuddered.

Suddenly I caught sight of Ji Congwu in the coffin.

The energy just now forced the coffin lid open, and he was also electrocuted.

Perhaps his injuries were too severe, he was only breathing his last breath, and he didn't wake up even after being electrocuted for a while.

However, his wounds were healing strangely.

In a moment, the system understood: Ji was never able to absorb the power of thunder and lightning!

The system was excited: "Host! Quick! Pour the excess energy into him!!!"

Sang Luo: "You wish."

system:"?"

Sang Luo sneered: "Why should I give my things to others for free?"

system:"??"

It tried to reason with her: This is not about benefiting others, this is about saving yourself!

Sang Luo raised his long eyelashes that had a special electric spark effect, his amber pupils covered in silver light. "A ball of lightning power, do you really think I can't handle it?"

Are you taking this as a meal?

The system was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Your body is about to explode!"

"Really?" Sang Luo curled his lips coldly.

She slowly raised her hand.

Under the puzzled gaze of the system, she divided her mind and used the water and space systems respectively.

Then--

She actually transferred the excess lightning power to the water and space systems bit by bit.

The system watched helplessly as her water and space energies soared.

???!!!!!!

It was stunned.

...Is this even possible?!

How did she do that!!

...Let's not even talk about how to transfer the power of thunder and lightning to the water and space systems. Her ability to control three things at once is terrifying enough.

The system looked terrified.

A little carelessness.

Its host can't even leave a complete corpse.

Half an hour passed.

All visions disappeared.

The system's heart, which had been hanging high, finally settled down.

Let’s look at the latest data of Sang Luo’s abilities:

Water system: Level A!

Space Department: Grade A!

Lightning system: A-level!

“…”

The system is sluggish in the face of this data.

So what...

My host seems to be a little too awesome.
