Chapter 110 Dormitory Friendship League (Part 2)
Guo Guo: "...You are the one who wants to change your career!"
She turned the red bow around, and the screen displayed the item's properties:
[Lucky Bow (consumable): Everything in the world can be transformed into power, and luck is no exception! Pulling this bow, you have a 50% chance of automatically aiming at the target, and the damage value comes from your luck at the moment~ The emperor of luck is fearless! ]
[Current number of times available: 0/10]
"I'm definitely not going to get an attacking item that requires skill and strength. Luckily I found this automatic item in the mall." Guo Guo carefully put it away, but at the same time he felt a little resentful: "It's just too expensive."
It was a consumable item worth 15 points, and it depended on luck. If Guo Guo hadn't been afraid that the competition would be too difficult, he wouldn't have made up his mind to redeem it.
Even as an assistant, she realized that she was a little "biased". Whether it was the Yin-Yang Eyes, the magic pendant or the exorcism, they were basically only effective when facing ghosts.
What if the other party is also a candidate, or the attack is physical?
She didn't want to hide behind her roommate all the time, especially when Zheng Wanqing always used her only intact arm to hold her from behind. Although Guo Guo didn't say it, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Of course, she would not speak out these thoughts. Zheng Wanqing thought that she was silent because she was uncomfortable without a suitable weapon, so she immediately straightened her face and encouraged her:
"It's okay, it's just that the weapon is too ugly. Don't be sad, we just don't have money at the moment. When I evolve into Iron Man and punch one copy at a time, I will buy you the coolest automatic weapon!"
Guo Guo: "...Although I don't think this bow is that ugly, thank you anyway."
While they were talking, Tang Xin Jue and Zhang You also made a plan. Zhang You drew the wheel five times and got two 10% discount coupons. He immediately borrowed a few points from Tang Xin Jue and spent all his money in the mall to buy two group attack skill cards.
At first, Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing didn't quite understand. They had studied it before and found that skill cards were the least cost-effective items in the mall. A single card could not be used more than three times, which was both expensive and inconvenient.
Zhang You had other plans. She and Tang Xinjue looked at each other and said, "I thought so at first, until Xinjue and I discovered something else—"
Zhang You opened the brick account book and slapped the skill card upwards. The card surface was actually embedded directly into the paper, and a strange light flashed on the cover of the account book.
"——Maybe there are no useless skills in the mall, but they are just like dormitories and need to be combined with each other."
Zhang You closed the account book again, and saw the names of the skill cards appeared on the cover: [Epiphyllum Flying Snow 0/2], [Ice Stream Strike Stone 0/3], Usage: Single draw/Combination.
In this way, the account book that was originally used only as a brick has an additional layer of enchantment attributes, and the skill card seems to have added new elements.
Guo Guo suddenly realized: "Could this also be a way to upgrade?"
“We’ll have to wait until next time to verify this.”
Tang Xinjue turned her phone around. They had just discovered another thing, and this time it was related to the lottery.
Tang Xinjue had scored 9 valid points in the last exam, which meant 9 chances to draw a lottery. Just when she was drawing the lottery, she was suddenly reminded by the store that if she drew 10 times in a row, she would have a "guaranteed" chance to get an item.
The mall enthusiastically promotes: [Only one chance left? No problem! As long as you purchase one of the following products for a limited time, you will receive an extra chance to win a prize! ]
A row of cheap but seemingly useless limited-time flash sale products popped up below, along with a huge 10-minute countdown.
Tang Xinjue: "..."
Others: “…”
Why does this operation look so familiar…did the game mall go to Pinduoduo for further studies?
Tang Xinjue silently selected a bag of spicy chicken feet worth 2 points, then clicked on the ten-draw combo, and sure enough, an item popped out.
[Black Saturday Fireworks: This is a firework that only works on Saturdays. It was designed by a crazy capitalist who doesn't want his employees to get off work. Let everyone become extremely unlucky on Saturday! Only working days are everyone's eternal destination! ]
[Effect: All living beings who witness the fireworks will be plagued by bad luck, lasting for 1 hour.]
[Additional effect: Hide evil (Only the purchaser can see the true properties of the item. To others, it is just an ordinary firework)]
The roommate took a look at the raffle prizes and quickly identified the one: "This firework doesn't look ordinary. It must be a prop, right?"
Tang Xin Jue stared at the prop's attributes for two seconds: "Doesn't this firework look like an ordinary item in a normal dormitory?"
Roommate: "...Wake up! How can there be fireworks in a normal dormitory? This is very abnormal!"
“…”
Anyway, after collecting the fireworks, Tang Xinjue transferred the remaining points to Zheng Wanqing, allowing her to continue upgrading her fists.
"Aren't you going to buy any skills?" Zheng Wanqing hesitated.
"No, the upgrades I want are very expensive. I can't save them up without two copies. I might as well give them to you first."
Tang Xin Jue shook the potion he had just bought in his hand: "I'll just buy this one."
The potion was applied to the toilet plunger with a wet wipe, and the traces of damage and dirt left on it during the dungeon battle were instantly restored. The toilet plunger happily spat out a mouthful of water.
The repair shop is worthy of its name. The toilet plunger was successfully upgraded the moment it was repaired. It has now transformed from a [Toilet Plunger Soldier Level 3] to a [Toilet Plunger Knight Level 1], and the entire leather plunger is shiny and radiant.
As for what the problem was before... Tang Xin Jue still hadn't forgotten the repairman's sinister answer: "I ate a lot because my level was not high, so I had indigestion!"
...This also reminded her that the toilet plunger's devouring ability is not a bottomless pit. Only by raising its level can it eat more ghost monsters.
Count down 5 minutes.
Zheng Wanqing had already exchanged it and was waiting for the skill to be upgraded. She raised her hand excitedly, and a huge steel shadow gradually condensed on her empty forearm.
——A fist as big as iron bars!
"It seems to have a skill that has a probability of being triggered, called Tears Behind Bars..." Zheng Wanqing didn't understand the details, and she didn't have time to continue analyzing it because the game was about to begin.
There is only 1 minute left before the game starts.
【Are you sure you want to participate? 】
The system asked a question, and everyone who had been busy for half a day finally stopped.
The air in the dormitory was so quiet that even the opening and closing of the host's mouth on the TV screen was silent.
The world seemed to begin to change slowly under some low-frequency vibration, and as the options were finalized, a vague veil was unveiled...
"We are sure."
Tang Xinjue said softly.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, two loud noises exploded on the glass window. The four people turned around in shock, only to see two bloody objects smashing on the window. Thick blood slowly flowed out in two traces, which were particularly dazzling in the vast white fog.
Only when you get closer can you see that these are two sparrows that have collided with each other. Now red and white are splattered together, and they are obviously dead.
"What's going on? Has the dungeon started?"
Guo Guo looked around quickly. The dormitory was still the same, their positions had not changed, and everything was the same as usual.
"In many cultures, a sparrow dies on glass, which is considered a bad omen and represents evil and death."
Tang Xinjue observed for a moment, then gently knocked on the window. The sparrow's body slid down, leaving only two bloodstains.
Zhang You frowned: "This trace...why does it look like two symbols?"
“13.”
Tang Xin Jue wrote the two numbers on a piece of paper, then turned the light around. From the perspective outside the window, this number appeared.
"It's 13, but it could also be 1 and 3. If we expand the range a little bit, it could be a disassembled [B]."
Guo Guo began to associate ideas, but he was still confused no matter how he thought about it.
A sparrow crashed to death outside the window, leaving the number "13" on its body. What does this indicate?
Suddenly, Tang Xin Jue said, "The fog has dispersed."
In their sight, the white fog covering the entire window was slowly dissipating... This had only happened once, and the last time was on "Crazy Wednesday", when they first met other students in the game.
Everyone became nervous.
They carefully felt the movement outside. After about half a minute, the fog stopped dispersing, revealing a balcony that was vaguely shrouded outside.
Guo Guo blurted out: "Will it be the second "Crazy Wednesday"? "
But the next second, they noticed something else - a black cloak appeared on the empty balcony clothes rack.
The cloak was motionless at first, and then it began to sway from side to side as if there was wind blowing. Soon, the cloak swayed more and more, and was lifted up and dropped down by the wind, as if it would be blown away at any time.
[Ding! Mission updated]
[It is a rainy day and you find that a very important piece of clothing has been left on the balcony. Please retrieve it before it is blown away, otherwise you will regret it.]
A new task message suddenly popped up on the phone. Almost at the same time, countless raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the balcony floor with a crackling sound, soaking the black cloak and making it shake.
Tang Xin Jue didn't have half a second to react: "Do you have an umbrella or raincoat?"
The remaining three people also reacted quickly. Zhang You took out the umbrella that was always ready in his tool bag and said, "I'll go out with you."
Guo Guo also frantically took out a transparent raincoat from his schoolbag: "This is what Jiang and the others gave me in the last instance..."
Tang Xin Jue glanced at the two of them, but rejected Zhang You: "I'll go out alone, and I won't bring an umbrella for now."
She suspected that there was something fishy about the game, so she just took Guo Guo's raincoat, which had some ghost power on it and was safer than ordinary protection.
After making all the preparations, Tang Xinjue pushed open the tightly closed balcony window. A strong wind suddenly blew into the house, and the violent storm that was blocked outside poured in!
The three people standing at the back were forced to take a step back. When they looked up again, Tang Xinjue had already nimbly grabbed the railing on the balcony and began to pull the cloak down.
As soon as she touched the cloak, Tang Xinjue felt a piercing coldness running up her arm. The rain blocked her view and she couldn't see what was inside the cloak, so she decisively pulled out the toilet plunger, rolled up the edge of the cloak and stuffed it into the rubber head, and used the toilet plunger to pull it down instead of her arm.
The effect of the toilet plunger was immediate. The entire clothes railing made a shaking and friction sound, and the cloak was successfully hooked down halfway. Tang Xinjue did not relax, and continued to observe the clothes vigilantly. Sure enough, he saw a blue round object flashing in the cloak.
Tang Xinjue increased the strength of his hands without hesitation, pulling the cloak left and right. The blue object inside could not hold on and slid down. Suddenly, two blue bubbles were spit out and fell on the rubber head, quickly forming a layer of ice.
It turns out that the coldness that just covered my hands came from here!
However, the toilet plunger was not afraid of this. It swallowed the bubbles in one slurp and even wanted to continue eating. The blue creature seemed to be scared. Before the cloak was completely down, it flew out and disappeared into the white mist.
Tang Xin Jue was restrained by the cloak and could not reach out to grab it. He only caught a glimpse of the creature's appearance:
Its main body is a blue oval ball the size of a palm, with four suction-cup-like limbs extending from the ball. There seems to be a tiny ugly "head" on the top of the ball, with black eyeballs occupying more than half of the head. The moment it looked at Tang Xinjue, its eyes were filled deep resentment.
As the blue monster disappeared into the white mist, Tang Xin Jue also completely grabbed the cloak in her hand. The airflow from the balcony instantly became several times stronger, and she could only stick to the edge to get back to the door, and was grabbed by her roommate and taken back to the dormitory.
The balcony window closed, and the typhoon-like rain was shut out again. Tang Xinjue wiped his face and threw his cloak on the ground.
The pitch-black cloak had no special features other than being extremely large. There were two long straps underneath the cloak, and you could vaguely see ice debris on the straps.
At this moment, the phone dinged again, and the task was updated again:
[The weather is fine now, and you are holding important clothes, wondering whether you should hang them out to dry again. Fortunately, other students have the same problem, so you may refer to the opinions of other dormitories. ]
After seeing the words in the mission message, the four of them looked up at each other, then turned their heads at the same time—
The white fog outside the balcony had completely dissipated as the wind and rain subsided without me noticing.
Outside are blue sky and white clouds, grass and green trees... There is also an adjacent dormitory building with countless dormitory balconies arranged in a staggered manner, and the figures of countless students are looming through the windows.
Just like when the game had not come, every day in the dormitory was ordinary.
