Chapter 1197: "I'm Su Ming'an and I'm Dead!


In his personal space, Su Ming'an claimed the rewards for four special Easter eggs from the mailbox.

...

[Achieved special Easter egg: "Moon in Water and Moon in Sky", received "Occupation Advancement Stone*1"]

[Achieved special Easter egg: "The Sheep No Longer Dies in the Rain", received "Skill Evolution Stone*1"]

[Achieved special Easter egg: "Your and Its Utopia", received "Pet Evolution Stone*1"]

[Achieved special Easter egg: "Will You Carry the Crippled Mud and Descend Together?", received "Equipment Evolution Stone*1"]

...

This time the rewards are very comprehensive, considered by players as the four great dimensions of combat power: occupation, skill, equipment, and pet each have one.

Special Easter eggs are very difficult to achieve, as they require digging deep into the secrets of instances, marking a point of difference between top-tier players and ordinary players.

For the Occupation Advancement Stone, Su Ming'an hesitated for a moment between "Bai Shen (LV.37)" and "Light Transmitter (lv.3)", and chose the latter.

...

["Second Occupation: Light Transmitter" has advanced, please draw a new skill.]

...

Su Ming'an pulled out the sleeping white cat, grabbed its paw, and with a "poof" pressed the [Confirm] button.

...

[You have drawn the Purple Grade skill: "Pioneer Immortality"!]

...

[Second Occupation: Light Transmitter]

[Core Skill 1: Eternal Dawn lv.4]

[Skill Introduction: Forces the maintenance of an optimal mental state; you will not feel the negative effects and pain of the body, and the five senses are continuously enhanced. (Cooldown Time: 1 hour)]

...

[Core Skill 2: Pioneer Immortality lv.1]

[Skill Introduction: When you are in a near-death state, you can freely choose whether to enter a "Feigned Death" state. During "Feigned Death", your body will maintain a state of no breathing and no heartbeat, and can withstand three instances of fatal damage; more than three will lead to actual death. (Cooldown Time: 72 hours)

The "Feigned Death" state will continuously drain Mana Points, and when it runs out, the "Feigned Death" state immediately ends, you will awaken and restore to 1 Health Point for 1 hour. (Please note, when you awaken, all the wounds your body suffered before and during "Feigned Death" will remain, and if you cannot heal the fatal wounds within 1 hour, you will still fall into actual death.)

You can bind a player as your "Feigned Death Notifier". When you fall into the "Feigned Death" state, the other party will immediately receive a message: [I am Su Ming'an, I am dead! (This message can be changed, with a maximum of 10 words)]

...

Su Ming'an was dumbfounded.

It was his first time seeing such an insane skill.

He read these passages repeatedly, showing great shock in his eyes—so "Pioneer Immortality" is "immortal" in this way? Directly collapsing at critical moments, this is kind of…

He thought for a while and suddenly realized that this skill, though seemingly hilarious, is quite strong. Upon encountering a completely unbeatable riddler, he can just lie down on the ground; as long as he calculates the remaining Mana Points properly, he can wake up at an exact point in time after gaining information during his "death".

This skill paired with the Death Rebound is extraordinarily powerful. If, after "Feigned Death", he finds that something is wrong, he could still use Death Rebound to rewind to before the "Feigned Death", gaining a load of information for free.

Just like this Tenth World, after being caught by a deity, if he had laid on the ground and kicked up his legs right in the deity's home, it might have scared the daylights out of that Dawn fellow. When he woke up, he would notice the deity's attitude was off, allowing him to deduce much information.

Or, being trapped by Dieying in the Nine Serenities, he could first die honorably, dying on the spot before Dieying, and Dieying's mindset might immediately crumble. Now the one and only real Su Ming'an is dead, so He really gained nothing.

—I understand, your presence is overwhelming, but what if I just fall asleep headfirst while still young, how would you handle that?

This indeed is an… beyond-spec god-level skill, breaking the norms, crushing the Fire Mystery skills a thousand times over.

Leap over plot stalemates, gather information, gain favor, deceive players, use a survival card, prevent Death Rebound freezes… there are too many applicable scenarios.

Most importantly, even if he uses this skill many times, it will be hard for players to figure out the mechanism of this skill. NPCs especially will struggle to know this weakness of "three whippings of the corpse will truly kill". After all, very few people would intentionally whip a corpse, and even if they were to, it's unlikely anyone would do it three times… at least, everyone Su Ming'an has met so far respects the deceased (except for Lin Guang).

Only an extremely crazy person would whip Su Ming'an's corpse three full times, then people would know the weakness of this skill, presumably a very long time later…

Su Ming'an felt slightly relieved.

Surely such a perverse person won't appear.

As for the "Feigned Death Notifier", after pondering for a while, he chose Lv Shu.

...

[Su Ming'an (06:11): Lv Shu, feeling better? Want me to come over?]

[Lv Shu (06:11): Don't come here, there's a lot of blood. Let me finish dealing with the enemy's corpse.]

[Su Ming'an (06:12): Then continue dealing with it, just put the follower in the villa later. I looked at your memory fragments; don't you remember me?]

[Lv Shu (06:12): Maybe the World Game truly can't repair the spirit; many memories I've forgotten. But you… I seem to remember a little, the black-haired boy from H City… it's you. The first time I saw you in Henggang Hospital, I felt you were quite familiar, like a good person… but I kept forgetting.]

[Su Ming'an (06:13): Lv Shu, I remember in the Fourth World, after you read the "Prophet's Note", you wanted to poison me in return. Is it because you discovered I might not be a person with light in their heart, and that's why you suddenly collapsed, thinking you recognized the wrong "good man"?]

[Su Ming'an (06:13): "Absurdity is rampant in reality, born within absurdity. Love is art's disguise; ideals are the ladder of desire. The world he watches over was once dark and dull; he became the most special person by the river—once ordinary, because of renewal, because of no longer expecting." The Prophet's Note describes me like that, right?]

[Su Ming'an (06:14): It seems, in this way, this note is indeed filled with malice—the line "ideals are the ladder of desire" almost bluntly indicates that my brightness is a disguise, the real purpose is for desire. So, you suddenly collapsed.]

[Lv Shu (06:14): …Yeah. At that time, I transferred Uncle Zhao and the black-haired boy's emotions onto you, so upon finding out you might not be like them, I was really confused… but now, I won't do that anymore.]

[Lv Shu (06:16): I realized later. "Ideals are the ladder of desire," this "desire" can also be the desire for "brightness and light ". Why must "desire" only be personal selfishness? Loving to the extreme, being selfless to the extreme, is also a form of the most intense desire. I choose to believe in your desire, and I apologize for doubting you; I can't believe I wanted to negate my faith because of a single note. So at that time, I wanted to help you clear obstacles by perishing together with Edward, but you stopped me, it was impulsive of me, I always mess up a lot of things… always needing you to clean up after me.]

[Lv Shu (06:16): I once was confused by the vastness of the world and obsessively believed in someone I recognized, without realizing it, even when banging my head against the wall. I did many foolish things and know I'm not particularly smart, but there's one thing I feel is the most correct.]

[You are a good man, Su Ming'an.]

[That's what I believe to be the most correct thing.]

[And walking towards you in the First World was the smartest thing I've done among countless foolish actions.]

[Becoming teammates with you, Lin Yin, Yamada, Lu, Luna, Mo Yan… I am really, very happy.]

...

This whole chunk of text came out like a long essay. Su Ming'an suddenly thought of Lv Shu's long essay when the First World had just ended; back then, Lv Shu also wrote a few thousand words full of content.

...

[Su Ming'an (06:17): Lv Shu.]

[Su Ming'an (06:17): You are still that young master of the Lv Family on Taihua Mountain, that's the most memorable impression I have, I won't forget it.]

[Lv Shu (06:17): Okay.]

[Su Ming'an (06:17): You have never died, nor are you a useless person.]

[Lv Shu (06:17): Okay.]

[Su Ming'an (06:18): Even without me, you are a complete person. Remember, this day you gained a new life, and this new life was not brought by anyone else, it was fought for by you.]

[Su Ming'an (06:19): Now you are no longer burdened, and your grandfather will be proud of you. You should live happily from now on, don't waste your energy, and don't feel like you have no value. You are a friend we value greatly.]

[Lv Shu (06:19): Okay.]

[Su Ming'an (06:19): Lin Yin is inviting you for hot pot, everyone cares about you, let's have dinner together tonight.]

[Lv Shu (06:19): I'll prepare some lemon tea.]

...

Next, Su Ming'an bound Lv Shu as the "feigned death notifier." Su Ming'an specifically requested that if Lv Shu received the notification, he shouldn't do anything unnecessary or tell others, since perhaps the BOSS has the ability to spy on the entire world. If Lv Shu notices anything wrong, he should pick a sunflower for Noel, and Noel would understand.

...

[Lv Shu (06:25): Picking a sunflower for Noel would make him understand it's the feigned death skill? No way.]

...

Lv Shu expressed doubt; how could Noel think of so much?

...

[Su Ming'an (06:25): He really will understand...]

...

But that's just how Noel's intelligence is.

Picking a sunflower, Noel will definitely recall the day when Su Ming'an feigned death, and deduce that it's the feigned death skill.

After ending the conversation, Su Ming'an stared at this description: [After you awaken, all the wounds your body received "before feigned death" and "during feigned death" will be retained. If you cannot repair the fatal wounds within 1 hour, you will still fall into true death.]

All wounds will be retained, so what if he was stabbed to death? Would he awaken with a big bloody hole in his chest? What if he was decapitated? Would he awaken without a head on his neck?

He thought that it should forcibly maintain a "survivable" state. For instance, if he died by decapitation, when he awakens, his head and neck would still be connected, but there would be a blood line on his neck that could easily be severed with a touch — after all, the skill description stated: [After awakening, Health Points will restore to 1 point, lasting for 1 hour]. This indeed is a very low Health Points level.

However, apart from fatal wounds, other injuries are probably not going to heal. If a hand is severed, or a leg is broken, they definitely won't recover.

So, this skill still carries a certain level of risk. If he awoke to find himself missing limbs, it could still happen.

It's best to carry a healer. If an hour passes and the fatal wound remains, then he would truly collapse and fall asleep.

"Healer..." he contemplated. It seems he needs a new teammate, as Lin Yin's capability can't keep up. This sort of skill to repair fatal wounds must be possessed by a high-level healing occupation.

As for "Skill Evolution Stone," he used it on "Portable Weakness Evolution."

...

["Portable Weakness Evolution" has advanced!]

[Portable Weakness Evolution (Purple Grade):

Effect One (Clue Insight): In non-combat status, automatically provide the player with the location of key clue points within the field of vision.

Effect Two (Dynamic Insight): In combat status, highlight enemy weaknesses in red. Attacks on enemy weaknesses by the player will greatly increase critical hit probability.

Newly Added:

Effect Three (Enemy Insight): Scan the threat level of the life form ahead, alerting the player with colors (Cooldown time of 1 day).

White: No threat from the enemy.

Green: The enemy possesses some combat ability, which may harm the player under special circumstances.

Blue: The enemy possesses some combat ability, but our side has over a 70% win rate.

Red: The enemy's strength is on par with ours.

Purple: Our side has less than a 20% win rate.

Black: Our win rate is nearly 0.

Colorful: The enemy's strength is indiscernible.]

...

Su Ming'an closed the interface.

From now on, as long as he checks the win rate between himself and the enemy, he will know whether it's wise to charge blindly, avoiding a repeat of the "declaring war with a sword against Combat Power 9999 Holy Initiation" classic scene.

As for "Equipment Evolution Stone," Su Ming'an hesitated for a long time between "Noah's Chain (Gold)," "Ring of Time (Purple)," and "Sword of Yarman (Gold)." Thinking of the Tenth World's Ring of Time being so powerful, he chose the Ring of Time.

He finally experienced the blissful pain—there were too many godlike pieces of equipment, each outrageously strong, making it hard to decide.

After evolution, the Ring of Time was elevated to Gold Level.

...

[Ring of Time (Gold Level, lv.15)]

Special Skill (Time Loop): Consumes Emotion Value, selects a certain range of space, freely selects the time to revert to (within five hours). (This skill can be used on low-level life forms, such as leaves, butterflies, ants, earthworms, etc.)]

The current recorders of the Ring of Time: Tretiya, Bi, Yao Wen, Noah, Sen Kylstia, Beili Sier, Lin Guang T-0321, Alice, Hei Que, Su Wensheng, Li Mingyue, Su Luoluo, Chang Ge, Xiao Ying]
