The King of Black Fog

"What do you mean, never looking at you again? What kind of shameless person can say such a thing? This isn't a TV drama!"

Fortunately, Li Qianxia's attention was immediately diverted, and she began to browse the mall with delight.

Yang Qinglan also started picking out items seriously.

Li Changzhou breathed a sigh of relief and studied the Identity Card, figuring he could gain knowledge even if he didn't make a purchase.

Players who can enter games of this caliber invariably have powerful instincts or skills, and the items in the mall could be considered a feast for a glutton.

"Newt Worm Style·Regeneration", even if only one twenty-thousandth of the body remains, a new individual can regenerate.

[Remark: This is terrifying in various senses. (PS: I'll secretly tell you, the newt worm that made it here is not the same one that got the Identity Card, too bad it burned to ashes, was curious to see how many generations it could have lasted.)]

"Pollyp-Emb LepSea Slug Style·Symbiotic Life", absorb the symbiotic algae in corals to obtain the ability of photosynthesis.

[Remark: For some, appetite is a pleasure; for others, eating is a hassle.]

"Big Wood Forest Spider Style·Human Spider Transformation", transform into a human, or a Big Wood Forest Spider.

[Remark: Or have a spider's body with a human face, or... Anyway, play however you want, but if you're a male, you'd better not marry a spider (this is not species discrimination.)]

"Ground Sparrow Style·Blood Sucking", use teeth or a weapon to suck blood, with the additional effect 'excruciating pain'.

[Remark: Hiss—, truly, excruciatingly painful! (Commentary from a nonexistent skill tester) (The effect increases when sucking blood from the buttocks; it's a Ground Sparrow's habit.)]

"Hunting Bug Style·Carrying Corpse", wear the skin of a corpse on your body to transform into that life form.

[Remark: Humans have something called movies, and there's one called "Painted Skin"; "Painted Skin" needs you, it's just a bit too demanding for the actors. What, you don't even know what humans are? (Strike through the above) It's more comfortable to wear if you clean the flesh off the skin a bit.]

"Male Bell Sparrow·Bell Ringing", emit the wave pattern of bell ringing, shaking the enemy's body and spirit, with additional effects 'intimidation', 'paralysis'.

[Remark: Wave~ripple~~~~~~ (I'm numb, how about you?)]

"Tiger Armor Style·Fierce Speed", move a distance of 170 times your body length per second.

[Remark: Sprint!!!! (I can handle it, can you?)]

"Monkey King Style·Upright Tail", in a group of monkeys, only the Monkey King can raise the tail! When raising the tail, strength +3, with the additional effect 'General's Banner', underlings' strength -3.

[Remark: It's not the tail that got your little tail caught, nor is it a tail for fun, but the tail itself.]

...

It seems that as the game progresses, these 'remarks' get closer to 'real life'. Have they collected enough data?

All these skills are pretty good, Li Qianxia especially wanted "Ground Sparrow Style·Blood Sucking", to give Li Changzhou a taste of her excruciating pain!

But after some thought, she didn't exchange anything, giving all her Identity Cards to Li Changzhou to convert into Game Coins, to upgrade the skills on the white card, or to unlock "Bible·Knight" Evangelical Skill for Yang Qinglan.

She planned to wait for Li Changzhou to master the black mist, to snatch those players' instincts.

If the mall's skills were a glutton's feast, then instincts would be... like a big bro treating you to a big bowl of Lanzhou noodles, with an extra serving of beef!

Player 1——

Brown Long-Eared Jerboa, Instinct: Quick Channel (establish three coordinates, can instantly move between them).

Too bad it's not teleportation, more like a fixed-location Transmission Array.

Player 2——

Flat-headed Mason Bee, Instinct: Powerful Neurotoxin (once injected, the victim becomes obedient to the skill holder; the lower the enemy's health, the better the effect).

Is this specifically tailored for Li・Blood Queen・Qianxia?

Wait a minute, there's a whole host of incredible instincts.

Even if an instinct's Level would drop by one, Li Qianxia was fine with it, since she couldn't buy skills above C level from the game, and many instincts were mostly B level; dropping one Level to C was still acceptable, she wouldn't have to spend money, and the effects were even better.

Yang Qinglan also didn't exchange any skills, her reasoning being: It's not worth wasting Game Coins on these destined-to-be outdated C Level skills.

With neither of them exchanging, Li Changzhou went ahead and sold all the useless Identity Cards he had, including the one used to test the 'black mist granting skill', cleaning up the evidence thoroughly.

From selling the cards, they obtained a total of eleven thousand two hundred Game Coins.

The trio also picked out the dead players' items from the current round, selling all the useless ones to the game.

Selling to other players would've brought in a higher price, even a killing, but it came with the risk of exposing their identity.

From selling the items, they earned a total of three hundred fifty Game Coins, painfully low.

The samurai's sword was chopped by Li Changzhou using the Emerald Bee Sword.

With the "One Device Through" skill effect, the Emerald Bee Sword surely got stronger, though it didn't look any different on the outside.

After finishing all this, the trio didn't linger long, and immediately returned to reality.

Ming City, 9:23 PM.

Outside the window, the crowds surged, the lights were bright, couples sat at open-air tables on snack streets, a family of three walked by, a group of elderly danced, a high school student cycled alone, aloof, passing through these people.

("Tianshun Entertainment City" has arrived, please be careful when opening the door, mind your step when alighting.)

Now Li Changzhou and the others didn't go to a secluded corner; instead, they headed towards where the crowd was dense.

This was like using ordinary people as... no, standing together with ordinary people; anyone daring to attack them would be going against the people!

Having won a battle and with their pockets full (of Game Coin, mostly Yang Qinglan had the real money), of course, the trio planned to spend some in the entertainment city.
