Chapter 264: Chapter 49: Breakthrough to Level 16, A New Attempt (5K for Monthly Pass)
"...Huh."
When these four names popped up, Xu Shu was truly taken aback.
Well, gosh, I was wondering why it pointed to the past? This âpastâ thing definitely doesnât bode well.
Each of these names, upon closer inspection, none seemed normal.
Fortunately, he wasnât especially troubled about the âreplica storylineâsâ quality this time around.
Bad is just bad, huh? Having experienced the âbeast lifeâ of a pure wild lizard before, this time it should at least be a human, right? How much worse could it be?
Xu Shu was remarkably carefree.
He was also very clear about the main purpose this time, which was to verify if the Fate Pool was indeed related to personal crises. If so, this could serve as a long-term âprophetic methodâ in the future.
Keep in mind, the âfuture visionâ of the journey can see, at most, until the sunset ends on the same day.
Thinking this, Xu Shu picked the relatively trustworthy "Chen Que" from the four names, seemingly only having a minor inconvenience with his legs. No big deal.
The others with labels like the scabby, the pockmarked, the mad â they just looked too unsightly.
"Here it comes!"
Facing the incoming "Fate fish stream," Xu Shu concentrated to observe.
He was surprised to find that the quality of the Fate Pool this time was unexpectedly high.
Not to mention there was a sizable amount of white mixed with green, there was even a small amount of blue. And in terms of absolute numbers, the blue could not be considered scarce.
This was much better than the pool from his second draw during the lizard legend!
"Hiss, it seems my suspicions were correct? The threat of the Earl is indeed elevating the level of my pool?"
"But itâs significantly higher this time, almost comparable to my first legendary encounter in Black Widow Prison... "
"Then why was the Fate Pool from the second draw, when I was beside the Earl, not as good as the first draw I had? That time, I initiated it on a safe spot on the road back to the safe zone, right?"
Xu Shu still had some questions.
However, he couldnât afford much time to ponder during the single draw legend, as there was only time for two breaths.
This time, with swift eyes and quick hands, he reached back and firmly grasped a Fate of Blue Court Jade Warmth level, bringing it into his hands.
Then, light and shadow whirled before his eyes:
Hiss? This Fate doesnât seem like it should pose much of a problem, right?
Easier than others to access the mysteries of the Transcendent? Judging by the name, should it be a talent of martial artists similar to "Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom" that gets stronger with practice?
Damn Tai Chu Scroll, acting like a mystic again, canât even give a clear introduction in a whole day~
Surrounded again by that familiar sensation of reincarnation, Xu Shu became slightly nervous.
It was the sound of flowing water from a spring, faintly familiar, that reached his ears.
A legend: from the fertilized egg, it is definitively unchangeable.
Xu Shu concentrated on listening, but this time he seemed to hear nothing unusual and he couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, it was a rare chance to have a normal, cheap old mother again.
He adjusted his breathing, totally submerging himself into the placenta and steadying his position.
At this very moment, the sun was gradually setting.
Inside the lighthouse at (19,3), there were many passing traders and people from various medium and small-sized shelters around the outskirts of the Wasteland, coming to do business.
The innkeeper, Brook, was naturally busy receiving different guests for lodging.
This was one of the busiest and most flourishing lighthouses, an adventurer camp, within hundreds of miles around.
Brook was so overwhelmed with work that when he turned his head and saw one of his employees, a young woman nicknamed Little Meiâwho was actually called Lin Meinaâstill sitting on the steps with red-rimmed eyes, muttering to herself "Iâm so silly, really..." he couldnât help but feel a surge of annoyance.
But there was nothing he could do; considering she didnât neglect work on purpose and had been absent for a day because she lost her child, who was actually a good worker.
Brook let it go.
Before long, three tall, gaunt-faced middle-aged men wearing hoods walked in, leading a small child: "Boss, we need three rooms, quiet ones, no disturbances. And is this your child here? We found him on the road, wandering by himself and brought him along."
"Okay, three rooms... A child?"
Brook suddenly looked up, and the still-distracted Lin Meina, after a momentâs hesitation, rushed over and embraced the five or six-year-old boy, breaking into loud cries.
Her genuine affection touched the bystanders.
"Maomao, my Maomao~ Thank you. Maomao, say thank you to the uncles, will you? Maomao? Child, why wonât you speak to anyone?"
Her son was returned after running away and Lin Meina was both angry and anxious, and when he was still unwilling to speak, she couldnât help but pinch him a few times.
Seeing this, the three middle-aged men looked at Lin Meina, each saying one after another: "The child has been outside for a long time, itâs normal for him to be scared; madam, you donât need to blame him."
Lin Meina quickly and sincerely replied: "Thank you, thank all of you, sirs."
She had an exceptionally keen eye, recognizing at a glance that these three people were definitely not ordinary Scavengers or traders; even if they werenât Transcendents, they were likely to be individuals with a status no lower than that of a Patrol Soldier.
After effusively thanking them, she took her son to the side. Her son, Maomao, held her hand dumbly, his gaze vacant.
Seeing her son like this, Lin Meina slapped his head in frustration again, truly upset.
Thinking of something, she said to Brook: "Boss, now that Maomao has come back, should we inform that Sir Li Fengtian, so he doesnât need to worry?"
Brook, without even looking up, scoffed: "Worry? I think you should worry less; you skipped work for a full day, and if I wasnât sympathetic to you... lock your son in a room and get back to work immediately."
"Alright, alright."
With her son found, Lin Meina wasnât even upset about being scolded.
Leading her son into the room, she warned him that he must never run off again and, after giving him some snacks, she locked the room from the outside.
Before leaving, she heard her son inside imitating frog croaks.
She couldnât help but shake her head in amusement and hurried off to work in the kitchen.
Leaving behind the continuous croaking sounds coming from the room.
