Chapter 81 – Heart of Plunder


Ye Shuangluo opened the map and saw three red dots flashing on it.

The three red dots were located in Dragon City, Xia City, and abroad.

Ye Shuangluo could imagine that the players from the “Eternal Night” faction would probably all come out to hunt them down.

Well then… let’s fight!

An infinite fighting spirit surged in Ye Shuangluo’s blood-red eyes.

If the players from the “Eternal Night” faction came looking for him, he wouldn’t mind going on a killing spree.

As long as he left one alive, he could continue farming achievements.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuangluo called up his talent interface.

[Daily Achievements: 88/240]

[Challenge Achievements: 0/35]

Ye Shuangluo quickly glanced at the unfinished daily achievements and then looked at the challenge achievements.

No need to rush the daily ones; they could be completed with time.

But the challenge ones, perhaps he should prepare for them.

[Congratulations, you have achieved: “Striking My Teammate”]

[Detected that a player from the same faction was indirectly killed by you, reward changed]

[Congratulations, you have received: Heart of Plunder]

[Heart of Plunder]

[Quality: Black]

[Equipment Type: Accessory (Special)]

[Special Effect: Soul Reaver (Every time you kill a player from the same faction, their skills will be absorbed by the Heart of Plunder. In each world, you can choose one skill from all the players you have killed from the same faction and add it to your skill library.)

PS: Cannot absorb skills from indirectly killed players]

[This equipment only needs to be placed in the space backpack to take effect]

[Evaluation: What? Your skill is strong? Great, once I kill you, it will be mine.]

This thing…

Ye Shuangluo touched his chin, finding it hard to determine whether this thing was useful or not.

After all, it couldn’t be used for indirect kills, meaning he had to do it himself.

But the system strictly forbids battles between players of the same faction. Once a player from the same faction is killed, attributes permanently decrease, and skills are permanently stripped.

Ye Shuangluo shook his head. The Heart of Plunder was truly a pity.

It was different from the Tears of the Hypocrite, which was genuinely useless.

The special effect of the Heart of Plunder was powerful, but he didn’t dare to gamble on it.

Just as Ye Shuangluo was silently lamenting, the special effect of the Pluto necklace on his neck quietly activated.

Countless black chains surged out from Pluto and pierced straight into Xiao Yu’s body, pulling his soul inside.

This scene surprised Ye Shuangluo. He gently stroked Pluto with his fingers.

So it could imprison players’ souls?

[“Traitor” Xiao Yu’s Soul]

[Effect: When you imprison this soul, you can ignore the rule that players of the same faction cannot kill each other]

[Imprison? Yes/No]

Ye Shuangluo stared wide-eyed at the buff Xiao Yu’s soul brought him.

“Could this be Xiao Yu’s talent? Traitor… No wonder he dared to shoot me in the back. Turns out he could kill teammates.”

Ye Shuangluo couldn’t help but marvel at the variety of players’ talents, all sorts of strange things.

He didn’t imprison Xiao Yu’s soul for now, as he didn’t need it at the moment.

He could switch it in when he needed to kill teammates.

But with the buff from “Traitor” Xiao Yu’s soul, the Heart of Plunder could now be put to use.

With a thought, he stored a green and three white treasure chests from the battlefield into his space backpack.

It was worth mentioning that after Xiao Yu’s death, the system awarded Ye Shuangluo a special item.

[Congratulations, you have received “Crimson Dice”]

[Crimson Dice]

[Type: Special Item]

[Effect: Roll it to receive points, equipment, or miscellaneous items based on the number rolled]

A normal Crimson Dice could yield three items, but the one in Ye Shuangluo’s hand, being from a player of the same faction, could only yield one item.

He tossed the blood-red dice up and down, and when he felt a sudden impulse, he threw it out.

The dice spun on the ground a few times and finally landed on 5.

[5 points (high-value item)]

[Congratulations, you have received Tears of the Hypocrite]

Hearing the system prompt, Ye Shuangluo couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. How did he end up drawing the Tears of the Hypocrite?

But its appearance seemed different from the one he sold. Could its effect be different too?

With some curiosity, Ye Shuangluo opened the detailed information of the Tears of the Hypocrite.

[Tears of the Hypocrite]

[Equipment Quality: White+]

[Equipment Type: Accessory]

[Special Effect: Backstab Blade (When you attack any unit that has goodwill and trust towards you, damage increases by 10%-20% based on the level of goodwill and trust)

Civil War Blade (When you attack an enemy faction player, damage decreases by 10%, but when you attack a same-faction player, damage increases by 15%

When you kill a same-faction player, the number of draws from the Crimson Dice increases by 1)]

[Evaluation: Long time no see, moved? Meeting again, you all have become better.]

This evaluation…

It really was the one he sold.

Ye Shuangluo looked at the teardrop-shaped necklace in his palm with mixed feelings.

Strictly speaking, this was his first piece of equipment.

When he sold it, the Tears of the Hypocrite was just a white-quality item. Now it had become white+ and had an additional special effect.

No doubt, it was Xiao Yu’s handiwork.

It was clear that Xiao Yu really liked it.

After all, it perfectly matched his talent.

“Sorry, you had a master who really liked you, and I killed him.”

Ye Shuangluo sincerely apologized to the Tears of the Hypocrite and then tossed it back into his space backpack.

Even so, it was still useless to him now.

After counting his spoils and gains, Ye Shuangluo prepared to return to Luo City.

Although his current location was visible to all “Eternal Night” players.

It could be said that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light, making it easy to be ambushed.

Of course, that was for ordinary players.

Ye Shuangluo was not an ordinary player; his Perception attribute was already extraordinary.

Within a radius of five kilometers, as long as someone harbored malice towards him, he could sense it immediately.

It had to be said, the Perception attribute was indeed very useful to Ye Shuangluo. Along the way, it had helped him avoid countless dangers and thwarted numerous enemy ambushes.

False Charisma attribute: Charisma (easily drops, attracts all sorts of perverts)

True Charisma attribute: Perception (the first attribute to become extraordinary, never drops, useful countless times)

As Ye Shuangluo walked, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

The stars were still as dazzling as ever, but there were no familiar constellations like “Cowherd and Weaver Girl,” no Big Dipper, and no “Seven Kills, Greedy Wolf, Breaker Star.”

Sometimes, when Perception is too strong, you sense things you shouldn’t.

For example, now, he could sense that all the stars in the sky were expressing malice towards him.

In fact, on the first night he arrived in this world, he sensed the malice from these stars.

He had been forcing himself to ignore it, but the malice from these stars had been increasing.

Until now, it had reached a level that felt like a thorn in his back.

Ye Shuangluo stared at the stars that harbored malice towards him and suddenly received a message.

[…Pest, you deserve to die]

This was not a message from a single star but a collective message from the consciousness of the stars.

Ye Shuangluo opened the talent interface again and directly looked at the challenge achievements.

[Challenge Achievement: Fear of the Stars]

[Achievement Requirement: Make all the stars in this false sky fear you. Tell me, stars, do you also feel fear?]
