Chapter 72 p2
It seemed that only a second had passed, or a long time. Yu Chi closed her eyes. She thought of Mu Gui, who had disappeared from the rankings, of Ah Yin, and finally of Zuo He.
It was as if everything had undergone a earth-shattering change in an instant. They had been happily playing the little horn game just now.
So this guy… did he like to hide under the covers and read dog-blood novels and hadn’t told them yet?
The pain from her body made Yu Chi open her eyes.
The elven bloodline in her body was constantly churning, almost burning her from the inside out. It was running rampant in her body with an intention that seemed to want her to explode and die. The surging energy stretched her skin, and golden blood dripped down.
“It’s actually a royal bloodline?” The man’s expression was surprised for a moment, and he quickly said excitedly, “In that case, if I capture you alive…”
He did not finish his words, because the next second, an attack that was 10 times, 100 times more terrifying than before rushed towards him. Everyone, without exception, used all their strength to launch their strongest attack at him, wrapped in a huge and irresistible energy. The human faces around him fled in panic, but were wiped out one by one.
The man’s expression finally became a little surprised and uncertain.
“Holy Light!”
Yu Chi felt her life burning, but it should be worth it—the Holy Light carried the power to purify everything. The man’s dark red body was instantly enveloped in a holy light.
His screams and panicked voice also came from within. The sizzling sound of burning, the wailing of the human faces, seemed to herald their impending victory in this battle.
Yu Chi’s body fell back. Her whole body was filled with an unspeakable pain. Her HP even dropped to a few dozen. In a daze, she thought she was going to die with that guy.
Then she belatedly realized that Zuo He’s mutual destruction lot would only work on himself. The others would only consume a large amount of life force.
They had mentioned it when they were chatting before. Once, Li Feng had pissed Zuo He off. He had threatened Li Feng, saying that he had a mutual destruction bad lot. No matter how strong the enemy was, they would die under various coincidences, so Li Feng should not provoke him.
Fate would automatically judge and make the object of mutual destruction die in a reasonable way.
For example, the huge power that this bad lot had brought them was the choice of fate.
So what should I do in the future?
Yu Chi was still thinking when she fell down. There was no Ah Yin, and she had also lost Zuo He.
It should have been a happy ending, right?
Damn it. After a long time, even after seeing a lot of cruelty, the comfortable life had made her think that the ending would also be a fairy tale.
Scavenger, scavenger—
Yu Chi’s body instantly burst out with a strong aura, and then she directly fainted because of the exhaustion of her energy.
The second before she fainted, she felt the treant’s branches and leaves supporting her.
“They…” she said finally.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. All the famous territorial seas on the ranking were attacked. 300 scavengers went to the key targets on the list, and the other players were also attacked by ferocious mutated creatures.
The scavengers came with a menacing momentum, as if they wanted to wipe out everyone.
“This world should be ours,” a scavenger laughed wildly in the dark. “You people who have enjoyed such a long period of comfort, on what grounds?”
For a full 50 days, he had not stopped being in a state of mental tension for a moment. Every time he wanted to give up, he would look up at the huge screen in the sky.
Yes, she didn’t know if it was the system’s bad taste.
What was playing in the sky was the scene of the central island. People were wearing casual clothes, shopping, chatting, eating, just like life before the survival game.
The most hateful thing was not their happiness, but that they could choose. They could choose to be a leisurely and lazy player, or they could go to the training ground to fight, or to an island to explore.
If it weren’t for this hatred, he would not have been able to stand out from 100,000 people and finally survive.
Almost all the scavengers held the same idea as him, so the moment they came back, they launched a revenge on all the players.
And the key list was those who had made great changes to the central island, or the alliances.
Their strength was completely different from these wastes who were enjoying themselves in the greenhouse. Even just by looking at their levels, those players were no match.
What’s more, they also had the special power given to them by God in their bodies…
The world seemed to be within their grasp. This was the thought in all the scavengers’ minds—until 2 in the morning, among the 300 scavengers who were at the top of the strength ranking and the territorial sea ranking, a spot suddenly became vacant without a sound.
No one had noticed at first. Although it was the middle of the night, everyone was fighting all night. But soon, someone posted this discovery on the forum.
The scavengers also instantly noticed this vacancy.
The name of the alliance that had come to fill this vacancy was called—[Dazed Alliance].
This alliance had forcefully squeezed out a scavenger and was ranked 27th.
In other words, the scavenger who was originally ranked 27th had been killed by this [Dazed Alliance].
Not just the scavengers, but everyone, the whole world, had noticed this change. It was like a beam of light suddenly lit up in the darkness, making many desperate people realize that the scavengers were not invincible.
What made them feel even more hopeful was that the one who had occupied the 27th place on the strength ranking was the previous 28th place. In other words, [Dazed Alliance] did not have a player with the strength of 27th place. In other words, they had worked together to kill the scavenger.
For a time, everyone’s morale soared, and the name [Dazed Alliance] stood out from all the alliances in a very strong way, occupying the world’s attention.
But at this time, the protagonists who were being watched by the world were all in a coma.
Probably at this time, even a player with poor strength could wipe them all out.
When Yu Chi woke up, she felt very tired. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, and began to think about philosophical questions like who she was and where she was.
Ah, of course, she hadn’t lost her memory, but she always felt that it would be happier to forget.
Her body’s functions were slowly recovering, but the consumption of her life force was difficult to replenish in an instant. Unlike the digitized HP, life force was a very mysterious existence.
“Master.”
Seeing that she had woken up, the chef robot’s display screen was glowing with a red light, and its wheels were almost smoking. It was holding a tray in its hand, which was the lunch it had made for her.
Yu Chi slowly sat up from the bed and looked at the time. She had only been in a coma for a day. The world’s attack on the scavengers yesterday should be over now.
She had no interest in looking at the channel or the forum. Her whole person was in a state of “this is fine, that is also fine.”
Little Seven walked out of the potion room. He bowed to Yu Chi, sized her up for a few moments, and then said seriously, “You look much bigger.”
“?” Yu Chi took out a mirror and looked at it.
On it was a kind-looking old woman.
Ah.
Yu Chi had consumed her life force in her elf form. For an immortal elf, that bit of life force might not be much, but she was now in a human state. With the complete disappearance of her human form’s life force, her whole person seemed to have aged by several hundred years.
“I’m old, not big,” Yu Chi corrected him.
She had thought that her body size had become bigger. It didn’t matter much to her whether her human form was old or not. Yu Chi stared at herself in the mirror with a blank expression.
Her life force had faded, and she had indeed become an old woman. Was she going to fight in the form of an old woman in the future?
…It seemed not impossible. It was quite humorous.
Yu Chi thought of some random things in her mind, summoned the treant, and asked about the situation of the others.
Li Feng had woken up long ago. He was a human after all, and his life force consumption was relatively small, but now he had become a handsome uncle.
The twin sisters were also the same, instantly changing from their prime to beautiful aunts.
However, for them, this bit of change was nothing. It was already very good to be alive.
An Jin might have been in his angel form, so he didn’t seem to have changed much. However, it seemed that because of that fight, he had entered a berserk state and was frantically killing mutants and contaminated creatures in the outer sea.
The outer sea referred to the place outside the territorial sea.
And Zuo He…
‘Mr. Zuo He is about to die,’ the treant conveyed this message.
Yu Chi nodded calmly. She had long known that Zuo He was dead… hmm?
“About to die?” Yu Chi’s eyes widened. “Is it about to die, not already dead?”
The treant didn’t quite understand its master’s excitement, but it still shook its branches and leaves to indicate that it was so.
‘But he’s become a shriveled old man, about to die of old age,’ the treant continued to express.
Dying of old age… Yu Chi calmly sat back down. Everyone’s life force had been consumed too much, and they had all become old.
If only there was something that could make people young again, like increasing their lifespan or something—wait, Yu Chi’s expression suddenly froze. I seem to, I seem to remember that I have something that can increase my lifespan?
Right? If I remember correctly, I once ate a fruit with Zuo He and Li Feng on Cold Moon Island, and I even renamed that fruit.
Yu Chi suddenly became excited. She remembered that there were 5 fruits at that time. Because it was not easy to divide, she had planted the remaining two in the Two-Sided Mirror space and had not touched them since.
Her heart was pounding. Yu Chi didn’t know if the fruit had been successfully cultivated. After all, with the eternal life of an elf, she didn’t care much about things like lifespan, so the little flower fairy hadn’t mentioned it to her.
But… but what if it was successful?!
Yu Chi immediately summoned the little flower fairy and asked anxiously, “The Almost Fruit, how is the cultivation of the Almost Fruit?”
—The only plant she had renamed, because she was not satisfied with the origin of the fruit’s name.
The little flower fairy first anxiously circled around the aging Yu Chi. After hearing her words, she tilted her head, as if she were thinking. Yu Chi hardly dared to breathe, afraid of getting bad news.
It was a pity that the little flower fairy could not speak. After she had finished thinking, she flew into the Two-Sided Mirror space, brought out a pink fruit with her two small hands, and pointed at it with some confusion.
“That’s right, this is it,” Yu Chi said excitedly, holding it in her hand.
The little flower fairy could not see the data panel. To her, this should be a Lover’s Fruit. However, from her master’s aging appearance, she guessed that she seemed to need this.
【Item: Almost Fruit
Grade: Legendary
Description: Once, someone almost fell into a crocodile’s mouth to pick this fruit, so it was named Almost Fruit, meaning to be careful.
Each one can extend a hundred years of life. Do not eat too much.】
It’s the Almost Fruit! It’s the Almost Fruit that can increase one’s lifespan!
Yu Chi hugged the fruit and was excited for a while. She suddenly found that the grade of the Almost Fruit had changed from rare to legendary, and its lifespan had also increased from 100 years to 300 years…
This should all be the credit of the little flower fairy. The spiritual energy in the Two-Sided Mirror space was very abundant. Basically, any creature that had a chance to evolve would slowly evolve under the subtle influence.
Yu Chi hugged the little flower fairy and gave her a big kiss, then carefully picked up the fruit—
And ate it.
Then she stared at herself in the mirror.
…No change.
How could it be? Or does changing one’s lifespan just increase one’s life force, and it doesn’t actually affect one’s appearance?
Yu Chi frowned and directly entered the Two-Sided Mirror space. There were actually hundreds of Almost Fruits. She breathed a sigh of relief and, with a not-so-rigorous thought, ate another one.
The effect this time was completely different—Yu Chi didn’t need to look in the mirror to feel the changes in her body. She had slowly de-aged from a several-hundred-year-old old woman to 100, 80, 70… 21 years old!
She touched her cheek. Because her life force had been completely replenished, she had returned to her normal age again.
“!!!”
Even though she had expected this result, Yu Chi still jumped up in excitement. She excitedly picked 10 Almost Fruits from the tree, her face very determined.
Zuo He, wait. I will definitely not let you die of old age!!
