Chapter 50 Torrential Rain and Extreme Cold? 8
Chapter Fifty
Backup successful: 1 nutrient solution backed up, 10 survival points required.
[Nutritional solution: A consumable item that provides you with the necessary nutrients and energy for the day.]
[Backup successful: Backup skill card - Plunder *1, requires 5000 Survival Points]
[Skill Card - Plunder: A one-time use item that can strip a person of their special ability and take it for yourself. There is a possibility of failure. If it fails, one of your abilities will be randomly removed. Please use it with caution.]
Backup successful: Backup Flute *1, requires 3000 Survival Points
[Flute: A mental attack weapon that can cause irreversible mental damage. It is effective against those with a mental strength below 50.]
Lin Xia, who was taking out bread, beef, and braised eggs to eat, paused. Plunder? Lin Xia was surprised. There were such things? The flute was also rare; it was the first time she had seen one, but it posed no threat to her. However, this kind of thing was clearly used to deal with players.
This game is up to its old tricks again. I wonder what the failure factor for the plunder skill is. Why do I feel so insecure when this thing is in someone else's hands?
Congratulations on your successful talent upgrade.
[Talent [What You See Is What You Get]: Level 4. Anything you 'see' can be copied (but not living beings). To retrieve a copy, you need survival points. Survival points are obtained as follows: 3 points for 1 minute of survival in the game, 1 point for 15 minutes in real-world time.]
Huh? Lin Xia noticed that the increase in survival points in the game hadn't changed. Was that all that changed after leveling up to level 4?
But when Lin Xia looked up, she froze. The building she was on had three large characters: [Backup Available!]
She blinked. Did this mean she could back up such a large building? With a foundation?
Backup successful: Office building backup *1, survival points required: 1
Seeing that it only cost 1 survival point to exchange, Lin Xia snorted coldly. Although this made the exchange easier for her, she still felt offended. Even so, this meant she had a chance to get to the air-raid shelter.
Let's put that aside for now and focus our attention back on the Plunder skill. Lin Xia used her mental energy to probe the person who possessed the Plunder skill card, but that person had vanished.
She had glanced at the person's face earlier; he looked somewhat familiar, but because he was wrapped up so tightly, she hadn't looked closely and couldn't remember where she had seen him before. He wasn't someone she knew. She frowned; the person was very wary.
Does this also mean that the person really had ill intentions? Lin Xia was very vigilant. Her mental abilities, combined with her talent, allowed her to thrive in the game. Without mental power, her backup abilities would be greatly diminished.
Most importantly, if her superpowers were stolen, it's unknown whether she could awaken them again, but Lin Xia believes that's probably impossible.
After all, awakening superpowers requires certain conditions, which means that person may have some kind of talent within them that could support the awakening of superpowers. This is probably some kind of condition.
This plundering might very well include the plundering of talent as well!
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xia extended her mental energy and scanned the surrounding area, but she did not find any trace of that person.
Lin Xia's relaxed state of mind instantly tightened. This game really doesn't allow for any relaxation. When there were fewer players, most of the items were for improving strength, but now that there are more players, there are more and more items for fighting.
Even she can't guarantee that she won't accidentally fall into a trap one day, so we must be vigilant.
Thinking of the previously backed-up item, "Call Friends: Locate players within a 100-range radius and find your friends."
Lin Xiaohua redeemed 500 survival points for a disc-shaped watch. When she wore it on her wrist, a red dot would appear on the watch whenever a player approached her. There were currently six red dots on it.
Besides the lazy cat who was very close by, there were 5 other people gathered together, occupying a corner inside.
They must have some spatial artifacts on them, or something that overlapped with their backups, which is why they didn't back up anything just now.
Lin Xia reminded herself that she couldn't let her guard down any longer, but she didn't know if people using invisibility items could escape her location. She also reminded herself that she couldn't sell certain things in Sanqi's shop indiscriminately, in case they ended up aiding the enemy.
Knowing there was a way to get to the air-raid shelter, Lin Xia didn't relax. Instead, she felt a bit unreal. Had she somehow gotten a cheat code? What a coincidence! She had a feeling there was a trap.
Lin Xia decided to rest first. She felt very uncomfortable. She had been holed up in the cave for too long and just wanted to stretch out her body.
Covered in dust and dirt, Lin Xia leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and felt the lazy cat rubbing against her, trying to sit down next to her. With a thought, Lin Xia conjured a long knife in her hand and pointed it at the lazy cat.
Lazy Cat raised its hand and stepped back. Seeing that Lin Xia didn't move, it quickly retreated to a distance of 5 meters, muttering to itself.
I put away my knife, opened the group chat, and sure enough, I saw him posting again.
Lazy Cat: "Sister Hongyu, don't be angry. I'm just a bit too outgoing, but I really didn't mean any harm."
Ji Wei: "What did you do?"
Lazy Cat: "I didn't do anything. I just wanted to be closer to Sister Hongyu, but she chased me away."
Ji Wei: "Hehe...Serves you right."
Lazy Cat: "Sister Hongyu, you're not angry, are you? Ugh, I just wanted to sit on a sofa~ I'm so tired. Sister Hongyu, how about we just build a shelter right here? Even though my superpowers aren't that great, I'm still useful. I can do the daily maintenance. I can take over for you when you're tired!"
Lazy Cat: "Sister Hongyu, say something! I'm right next to you, can't you even look at me?"
Lazy Cat: "Sister Hongyu, do you have any superpower upgrade techniques? I can trade you some items for them!"
Lazy Cat: "Sister Wei, how are you doing in the air-raid shelter? Is it especially cozy?"
Ji Wei: "No, the management here is very strict. They don't allow us to go out at all. It doesn't feel very good."
...
Lin Xia was speechless. This person was quite talkative, but also quite lively, managing to keep the group running all by himself.
She used to think she could sense danger and wasn't afraid of anything, but then she remembered the time someone hit her with a prop alarm clock and she couldn't dodge it, so she decided to stay away from other players.
"The way to enhance your superpowers is to increase your mental strength." Lin Xia felt that this was not a secret at all; anyone who had increased their mental strength once would know it.
"Mental power? Really? I've never drawn any mental power before, I've been focusing on constitution and speed." Seeing that the others didn't react, Lazy Cat realized: "So you all knew? I guess I really need to communicate with people, I'm about to suffocate by myself."
"You didn't encounter anyone? Not even in the game?" Ji Wei asked, puzzled.
"I encountered it, but I dare not add it. I'm afraid someone will kill me and steal my treasure." Lazy Cat looked frightened.
"...So you're not afraid when you meet Sister Hongyu?" Ji Wei was speechless.
"Hehe, this is a secret, I can't tell you, I can't tell you." Lazy Cat laughed smugly.
"Looks like you have a lot of good stuff, tsk tsk..." Xie Cheng suddenly interjected.
