Chapter 624: Brother Jie, I Need It _2
"You, little brother, are really something."
The Blue Elf said to 4399 with some surprise.
Originally, he thought Liu Zheng would be full after a dozen sips at most.
"My judgment can't be wrong, naturally."
4399 replied lightly.
"Keep boasting, but what about that woman who got swayed by the beauty scheme?"
The Blue Elf directly exposed his past.
The woman who defected to the "Mixed Blood Sect" was rescued by 4399, and also solely recommended and trained by him.
After the defection incident, 4399 faced heavy criticism internally in the "Rejection Sect," and his reputation dropped significantly.
He was supposed to become a real department head and act as the Deputy Director last year, but this was indefinitely postponed due to that incident.
Of course, recently his reputation has started to rise again, and there's a vague trend of surpassing the previous status.
The reason, naturally, is because some newcomer is causing a lot of trouble.
Achievements were pouring down on 4399 like rain, and he accepted them one by one.
"This disgrace will soon become a thing of the past."
4399 said calmly.
Although Liu Zheng didn't use the "Rejection Sect's" channels to save the French Plane Tree, he was able to offer sufficient conditions on his own.
"Burp~"
Liu Zheng finally couldn't drink anymore.
"Player absorbed Divine Power Essence, proceeds are being settled..."
The system's notification sounded.
"Settlement completed."
"Player's all attributes permanently increased by 20 points, Rationality cap permanently increased by 20 points, Luck Value permanently slightly decreased."
"Player acquired passive skill: Sexual Excess to Disaster."
"Player acquired active skill: Offspring Terminator."
"Sexual Excess to Disaster: Player enhances sexual ability while receiving an Attack Power bonus, up to a maximum of 200%. After engaging in sexual acts or masturbation, the Attack Power bonus increases to a maximum of 1000% for 10 seconds, after which the skill becomes permanently null."
"Offspring Terminator: Player expends 10% of their sexual ability to unleash a powerful strike, causing massive damage to the target and permanently reducing their fertility. The more sexual ability expended, the stronger the effect."
"Hmm..."
After reading the system notification, Liu Zheng had a complex expression.
If you say it's a gain, it certainly was a big one.
You should know that even the Legendary delivery man's guise only enhances all attributes by 50 points, and there are conditions attached. Now, he gets an unconditional enhancement of 20 points to all attributes, which is amazing.
The two skills are also visibly powerful, with special effects even.
But if you say it's a loss, he did lose out a bit.
Lowering other attributes is one thing, but reducing Luck Value is quite a pain.
After all, he had firsthand experience of the horrors of Luck Value dropping; he could only hope that this slight decrease would be offset by the minimal boost from the Ebisu God's sea bream.
As for the eye-burning descriptions of the two skills, he couldn't even be bothered to complain anymore.
"Brother Jie, why do I feel like I've become unlucky?"
Liu Zheng asked out of curiosity.
"Oh? You've noticed, huh. That's normal; this is a god entering the decline phase with a lot of resentment. If I hadn't used the Divine Lamp to refine most of the impurities, you could have been directly under a bad luck spell."
The Blue Elf replied.
"So what's the origin of this god?"
"Don't know, we'll have to take it back to the department to investigate slowly. But gods like this, who are half-dead and full of resentment, are ticking time bombs. You never know when they might explode, so you really hit the jackpot this time."
The Blue Elf said with a tone of admiration.
"It's Brother Jie who's really struck gold."
He said thoughtfully.
"Haha, you know how to talk. Hmm..."
The Blue Elf laughed out loud, then pondered for a few seconds.
Afterward, he unscrewed the top of the Lamp Pot to check the remaining amount inside.
"Hold out your hand."
He said.
Liu Zheng obediently extended a tentacle.
The Blue Elf carefully tilted the Lamp Pot, dripping out a drop of glowing lamp oil.
"Name: Divine Lamp's Oil (One-time Use)"
"Type: Item"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect: Grants the player one wish upon use. If the wish exceeds the oil's capacity, it fails, and the oil disappears."
"Note: I need three more drops of lamp oil! Well, now you don't have a single drop left."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Brother Jie, what's the capacity scope of this lamp oil?"
He asked.
"I don't know either; the Divine Lamp has its own master. I can use it only because my ancestors signed a contract with it."
"However, a permanent increase in Luck Value is certainly impossible."
The Blue Elf replied.
"Alright."
Liu Zheng put away the lamp oil regretfully.
Although it can't increase permanently, temporary enhancement should be fine.
If he decides to use the Golden Lotus Seed of Fortune, he will use the lamp oil to fill in that tiny gap to reach Luck Value MAX.
"Hey, that elf with donkey ears asked you to leave a bit of the Divine Corpse for her."
The Panda's voice reached his ears.
"Brother Jie, can you save me a little bit of scraps?"
Liu Zheng looked back at the armored vehicle and said to the Blue Elf.
"What do you need this for? Little brother, in life, you shouldn't be too greedy; otherwise, you might lose everything."
The Blue Elf warned.
"It's not for me. A friend who's a Priest just fought a battle with this guy and is near dying. She'll likely need to sacrifice the Divine Corpse to save her life."
He confessed honestly.
"Oh, I see."
The Blue Elf thought for a moment and snapped off a small piece of the nameless finger from the Divine Corpse.
"Here, this should be enough."
"Thank you, Brother Jie. Da Ji, give it to the Yaksha."
Liu Zheng called out to the armored vehicle.
"Got it, boss."
Niu Daji hurried over, took the Divine Finger, and ran back to the vehicle.
"Where did that vehicle come from?"
4399 asked, glancing at the armored vehicle.
"Bought it from Bill Homme."
Liu Zheng replied.
"Oh."
4399 nodded, not saying more.
Being the only official Travel Mage, Charles Homme's ace son holds an exalted position; selling a second-hand official vehicle is hardly worth mentioning.
"By the way, Brother 4399, do you have any fuel? My car is out of gas."
Liu Zheng asked.
"Nope."
4399 shook his head.
Who carries that stuff for no reason when storage space is so precious?
"Well, looks like we'll have to walk the rest of the way."
He sighed.
"Little brother, where are you heading?"
The Blue Elf asked.
"I don't really know, but it's definitely within the range of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Just follow it."
Liu Zheng pulled out that finger.
The finger floated in the air, pointing straight at the Blue Elf.
"Alright, I'll give you a ride."
The Blue Elf generously said.
He did say to the leader he was coming to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, so as long as he stayed within this range, there wouldn't be a problem.
"That's great, thank you, Brother Jie."
Liu Zheng said joyously.
"We're all in this together. What's a little thing like this?"
"I'll go call everyone over."
He said, heading back to the armored vehicle.
At this moment, the Yaksha was preparing for the sacrifice ritual with the Divine Finger, but she paused as he entered.
"Go on with your ritual."
Liu Zheng waved a tentacle.
The Yaksha nodded, placing the Divine Finger into a blood-drawn magic array.
"Great Bloodhand Kane, I have vanquished your godly enemy, and I offer this body to you, hoping your wrath will be quelled."
As she finished reciting the prayer, a large hand made of blood fire emerged in the center of the array and dragged the Divine Finger into it.
Then, a drop of blood rose from the array and floated in the air.
"I am immensely grateful for your blessing, Great Lord of War."
The Yaksha quickly extended her tongue and licked the blood drop.
"Ah~"
She let out a long moan.
Her wounds healed rapidly, and a blood-red mark resembling a fishbone appeared on her chest.
The Yaksha looked down at the mark on her chest, her eyes full of joy.
This signifies that she has gained the attention of Bloodhand Kane. From now on, she won't need various rituals and will gain the god's favor through constant slaughter.
"Not gonna die anymore?"
Liu Zheng said, dramatically ruining the ambiance.
"Kane's bride will only bring death to enemies."
The Yaksha replied with a stern face.
"Let's not talk about anything else; your talent for stubborn denial is unbeatable."
He squinted his eyes.
Dozens of people died leaving only the Yaksha alive, and yet she would only bring death to enemies.
"Hmph."
The Yaksha snorted but didn't retort.
"Let's go, let's catch a ride."
Liu Zheng called out, then led everyone toward the Blue Elf.
