Chapter 115 – Invitation from the Outer Demon


“`

[Backstabber LV.2]

[Effect: When attacking an enemy’s back, damage increases by 10%]

[Review: (Giggle) Wiping away tears while pulling the dagger out of your heart. Oh, my dear friend, why were you so careless? Why did you run your heart into my dagger? –A certain noble lord who wishes to remain anonymous]

This was the skill Ye Shuangluo painstakingly selected from Xiao Yu’s pile of trash skills.

Other skills either had attribute restrictions or weapon limitations, so this skill was the best among the worst.

It must be said, Xiao Yu’s skill set was basically designed to backstab teammates.

It was filled with various skills for stabbing in the back and sneak attacks.

Including but not limited to poisoning, sand throwing, and clubbing.

After selecting the skills, Ye Shuangluo got up to wash his hands, then silently turned on the computer and opened the lottery simulator he had downloaded long ago.

Once he confirmed that his luck was at its peak, he took out all the treasure chests from his space backpack in one go.

Looking at the neatly lined-up three green chests, three white chests, and one silver chest on the ground.

Ye Shuangluo first opened the white chests, as he liked to save the main course for last.

Two strong white lights and one weak white light flashed by.

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained…]

The three chests gave him points and some useless white equipment or items.

Ye Shuangluo expected this result, so he struck while the iron was hot and directly opened the three green chests.

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Dragon Scale Amulet]

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Blood of the Fire Dragon]

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Ice Seal]

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Stomach of a Thousand Poisons]

The three chests yielded four items and points.

Ye Shuangluo first examined the two items from the chest that Long Yiyi had dropped for him.

[Dragon Scale Amulet]

[Equipment Type: Accessory (Amulet)]

[Quality: Green+]

[Special Effect: Dragon Scale Protection

Armor +10, and at the start of battle, each enemy that attacks you will be forced to undergo a “Dragon Might” judgment.

(If the judgment fails, the enemy will enter a “Panic” state)

Panic: Movement speed reduced by 15%, and each skill use has a chance to fail]

[Description: This equipment houses the soul of a “Fire Dragon”]

Ye Shuangluo toyed with the [Dragon Scale Amulet].

Its appearance was similar to the fire dragon scales on Long Yiyi’s body, just slightly larger.

“Not bad.”

The first item turned out to be something he needed, which put him in a good mood.

Amulets are special equipment that don’t need to be worn; they just need to be in the backpack to take effect.

In terms of rarity, they are the rarest among all equipment types.

Don’t be fooled by the [Dragon Scale Amulet] being only Green+; even if his other equipment upgrades to blue or even purple, he might still be using the [Dragon Scale Amulet].

The only drawback is that at most, only two amulets can be effective at the same time.

Starting with a good omen, Ye Shuangluo was even more eager for the next items.

[Blood of the Fire Dragon]

[Quality: White]

[Type: Skill/Bloodline]

[Effect: After fusion, the energy system changes to Nightmare Index

As it develops, it will grant a series of all-attribute bonuses and awaken abilities like Fire Dragon Scale Armor, Fire Manipulation, Fire Dragon Wings, etc.

This skill/bloodline can be advanced, and fusion will reveal advancement requirements

The highest advancement is blue quality]

[Fusion Success Rate: 29%]

[Review: It might be useful in the short term, but the ceiling is limited, not recommended for fusion]

In fact, Ye Shuangluo didn’t need the system’s reminder; he definitely wouldn’t choose to fuse it.

After fusion, spiritual power would turn into Nightmare Index, and as he said before.

The combat system of Nightmare Index has too many flaws, which he wouldn’t choose before.

Now he definitely wouldn’t, especially since he just acquired the legendary passive [Spirit Sovereign]; if spiritual power turns into Nightmare Index, those considerable bonuses would be gone.

However, he could choose to sell it, as he planned to visit the player market on Sky Island next.

[Ice Seal]

[Type: Skill Book]

[Learning Condition: Possess ice attribute aptitude]

[Effect: Consumes spiritual power to seal the enemy, continuously consuming one’s own spiritual power and stamina after sealing

Seal success rate depends on the enemy’s state, with a higher chance of success when the state is weaker]

[Review: It’s useless even if you learn it, don’t bother]

What can I say?

Is this the difference between self-comprehension and skill books?

This Ice Seal from the chest is completely inferior to the one he comprehended.

After all, the [Ice Seal] he comprehended doesn’t have continuous consumption; once it’s successful, it’s a done deal.

[Stomach of a Thousand Poisons]

[Type: Skill/Bloodline]

[Learning Condition: Constitution greater than 15]

[Effect: After learning, the stomach will become a poison sac, and it can evolve by continuously devouring toxins

After learning this skill, each physical attack will carry a certain amount of poison damage]

[Skill Compatibility: 35%]

[Description: Spit, spit, spit

Just this? Isn’t this just poisoning to death?

–A certain frog prince]

It’s the first time Ye Shuangluo has seen a skill with compatibility; is it because this skill modifies the body after learning?

He looked at this skill and started imagining himself spitting a mouthful of phlegm at someone during a fight.

The image was too vivid; he didn’t dare to think about it.

He was really torn; this skill was different from the trash he had obtained before.

In every sense, it’s actually quite good, and if he really had to sell it, he’d be reluctant.

“Forget it, I’ll just barter it later and see if I can exchange it for something I want.”

Ye Shuangluo looked at the only remaining silver chest on the ground, the last chest, and the one he had high hopes for.

After all, it was dropped by the Child of Destiny, Ye Buxie, and its quality far exceeded the previous white and green chests.

Ye Shuangluo nervously rubbed his hands, prayed to the gods and buddhas, and then manually opened the chest.

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Invitation from the Outer Demon]

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Formless Power]

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained Soul-Stealing Kiss]

The silver light almost blinded him; whether it was his prayers or the increased luck attribute, the chest yielded three items.

[Invitation from the Outer Demon]

[Type: Growth-type Collectible]

[Growth Condition: Kill five Children of Destiny or Destiny’s Rebels

Current Progress: 0/5 (calculated from the time this collectible is obtained)]

[Special Effect: Fate Devourer

Luck +2 (This effect can be enhanced by hunting Children of Destiny)]

[Description: The so-called Children of Destiny are the protagonists and darlings of an era, growing stronger through various coincidences.

As their enemies, they are invariably destined to become tragic stepping stones.

But the Outer Demons are different; they come from beyond the heavens, untainted by worldly cause and effect, allowing them to kill Children of Destiny, destroy worlds, or replace them as new Children of Destiny.

Upon receiving this invitation, congratulations, you have become a damned Outer Demon.]

[Acquisition Condition: Personally kill at least one Child of Destiny]

[PS: Children of Destiny? Starry Beasts? Deities? They’re all just souls under my sword — A certain unnamed slaughtering sword ghost]

After reading the content of the [Invitation from the Outer Demon], Ye Shuangluo’s first thought was:

Goodness, the luck attribute increased again.

The second thought was that there are growth-type collectibles, how amazing.

Finally, he couldn’t help but marvel that the luck attribute was indeed useful.

[Formless Power LV.1]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Effect: All attribute affinity +20]

[Review: Formless and shapeless, capable of transforming into thousands]

Compared to active skills, passive skills are rarer, and this one is useful to him.

No question, he learned it immediately.

Then, he eagerly looked at the last item; with such a peculiar name, it should be useful too.

[Soul-Stealing Kiss]

[Skill Type: Active Skill]

[Learning Condition: Charisma attribute extraordinary]

[Effect: After activating this skill, Charisma attribute temporarily +3

After performing a kissing action, the opponent will undergo a will judgment

If the judgment fails, they will greatly increase their favorability towards you and willingly be charmed by you]

[Review: A Child of Destiny can secure a harem with just one kiss, don’t envy, it’s their basic setting]

Ye Shuangluo silently opened the attribute bar and looked at his charisma attribute.

Charisma: 1

Alright, confirmed, just like [Eyes of Charm], another trash skill book.

With a black line across his face, he tossed it into the space backpack, planning to sell it later.

Since all the chests were opened, it was time to allocate attributes.
