Among all these good items, Qi Xu suddenly spotted one particular object, and his eyes instantly lit up: [Plant Growth Accelerator Potion 100ml].
This stuff—just 1ml is equivalent to a whole year's growth. The golden seed only had three years of maturation time left, and now it was finally about to ripen!
Once the ten minutes were up, StickyFingers instantly sobered up. Realizing belatedly what he had just done, he was so furious he nearly lost his mind!
Unfortunately... the pile of goodies on the ground had already been completely scooped up by Qi Xu into his backpack.
StickyFingers trembled all over, pointed a finger at Qi Xu, and activated his skill. Qi Xu clearly felt a surge of mental energy attacking him. He immediately concentrated all his own mental energy to form a defense, effortlessly blocking the skill and reflecting it back.
He instantly understood that this theft skill was probably similar to his own "Social Chaos Induction" technique—if the user's mental energy far exceeded the target's, success was almost impossible.
Just as StickyFingers was about to start cursing, Qi Xu cut him off.
"If you start cursing, you won't live to see another day."
An enraged person loses all sense of reason, especially after discovering the huge gap between reality and expectation, and having just been thoroughly fooled... A stream of the most unspeakable, vulgar insults came pouring out.
He might have felt good venting, but his life was about to end. With an easy kick, Qi Xu sent him flying straight into the black fog, not even a sound escaping before he was gone.
The black fog creature even displayed a line of text in surprise, "Whoa, how come this one's still alive this time? Fresh human slices, huh."
Seeing this, JuicyFart's legs went weak, and he knelt down. "Y-yes, he threatened me... It wasn't me, I didn't do anything! Besides, you already took all my stuff earlier. Could you let me go? Please, call your little snake off first..."
This little green snake was truly wicked, slithering slickly towards sensitive areas, and even started using its tiny tail to pluck eyelashes for fun. In just a few flicks, all the eyelashes were gone.
Those two venomous fangs, seemingly larger than his face, were always poised right above his eyeballs. JuicyFart didn't dare move a muscle, terrified that the fangs would pierce his flesh, leading to instant death. Where would he go to cry injustice then!
"No. You're the sneaky, rotten one. How dare you blame others? Who was it that egged on that thief to start trouble? Did you really think we didn't know anything? Trying to borrow a knife to kill, sitting on a mountain to watch tigers fight? Dream on. You deserve to die far more than he did."
Luo Xinpan directly crushed any hope he had for survival. Qi Xu was halfway through nodding when Sweet Girl started gnawing.
Toxin instantly flooded his entire body. After two protection cards shattered, Sweet Girl took another bite, and he finally kicked the bucket for good.
Qi Xu couldn't wait to get back to the golden seed. But just then, Zhu Fu returned!
"Qi Sis! Bian Sis! Your grandma is back! Hahaha, guess what, did I succeed in awakening? Made history! I'm so damn awesome. It's the first time I've heard of someone successfully undergoing a secondary awakening after a natural one. Zhu Fu rocks!"
Like a little firecracker, Zhu Fu excitedly came sprinting over, dancing and waving her arms to express her joy, before finally jumping high and crashing forcefully into the embrace of Qi Xu and Luo Xinpan.
Qi Xu and Bian, one on each side, held Zhu Fu up in the middle. Though her little feet couldn't touch the ground, she wiggled her butt desperately, utterly restless, shifting back and forth.
Bian said with some disdain, "You said to let us guess, but then you blurted it all out yourself. What's left for us to guess?"
Qi Xu nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Kids just can't keep secrets, huh?"
"Hahaha, your grandma is in a good mood today, won't bicker with you two."
After jumping down, Zhu Fu struck a smug pose, arms crossed over her chest, heels tapping incessantly.
"What skill did you awaken?"
The smile on Zhu Fu's face first froze, her expression turning a bit strange. Then, as if thinking of something, she quickly perked up again.
"You guess! I guarantee you, if anyone else awakened this skill, it'd be useless. But for me, it's absolutely a god-tier skill."
Qi Xu and Bian exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling as they said in unison, "Save Point?"
Now it was Zhu Fu's turn to be dumbfounded. "No way! Such an awesome skill, and you guessed it right away? Could've at least tried a few more times, give me some emotional payoff! Are you cheating? So boring..."
Being able to save and even reload from death, Zhu Fu calling it a god-tier skill wasn't an exaggeration at all. But based on Qi Xu's understanding of the survival game, it would never allow you to become overpowered without limits. So, without even thinking, this skill definitely had many restrictions.
"Mind showing us the specific skill details?" Qi Xu raised an eyebrow to ask.
Zhu Fu bared her teeth fiercely. "Looking down on me, huh? What's the big deal about showing a skill?"
[Skill: Save Point]
Effect: Record the complete state at the current point in time (including self and teammate positions, health, scene environment, etc.), generating a unique save point. Save points can be set infinitely and arbitrarily, but each save point is only valid for one day. After expiration, it cannot be reverted to.
When the load command is triggered, all states revert to the moment of the save. This is a consumable skill. The player can use it a maximum of three times. Each use consumes an appropriate amount of the player's vitality based on the extent of changes made to reality. Please use with caution to avoid kicking the bucket.
After reading it, Qi Xu let out a deep sigh. Bian's expression also turned extremely grave. The two fell into a long, heavy silence.
Zhu Fu protested indignantly, "What's with your attitudes? Jealous of my god-tier skill? Work hard, and you'll get yours too! Besides, my skill is super powerful. If we ever can't beat a big boss, I can..."
Qi Xu directly interrupted her. "No, Zhu Fu. We can beat it."
Bian firmly affirmed this conclusion. "Even if we can't, we have to beat it."
"That's the spirit. I'm just a bit curious, how did you get this skill?"
Zhu Fu blushed, somewhat embarrassed. "It felt like I was dreaming, going through cycles over and over. Every time I tried to save someone, I'd die even more horribly the next round.
After experiencing 99 different ways to die, a white light suddenly appeared before my eyes. I thought I had failed again, unable to awaken a skill. I never expected to succeed in the end. It's all thanks to Bian's luck. If Bian hadn't lent me his luck, I definitely would have failed this time too."
"You're such a good kid, still believing that..."
Bian had made it so clear, yet Zhu Fu hadn't caught on. Instead, she batted her big eyes and kept chattering. "You can also call me good grandma."
"Forget it, we can drop this topic."
