From beneath her snow-white pajamas, a delicate pale hand reached out and grasped at the air.
The Crimson War Blade appeared in Ning Yu's hand, its body glowing with a crimson light.
However, too much time had passed, and the effect duration of Blood's Ancient Wish had already ended.
Therefore, there was no change in the color of Ning Yu's eyes, nor did she feel any special effects.
But the details of the Crimson War Blade left her stunned:
[Crimson War Blade: High-Grade]
[Experience: 9/1000]
[Enchanted (Battle Spirit): Grants the wielder +2 Vitality +2 Spirit while equipped.]
[Unique Passive: Blood's Ancient Wish. After dealing any damage, the user can absorb the victim's blood to strengthen themselves. Note: This strengthening state temporarily affects the user's sanity.]
[Upgrade Condition: Gain experience points after triggering Blood's Ancient Wish.]
[Active Skill: Dark Side of the Moon. Instantly maximizes the strengthening effect of Blood's Ancient Wish, granting the user +8 Vitality +8 Spirit -8 Charm for 30 minutes. Simultaneously amplifies the user's negative emotions excessively, potentially causing immeasurable sanity collapse.]
[Description: When this blade was forged, the master craftsman was already elderly. His young apprentice borrowed the blade to study it but fell into madness and bloodlust, killing his master with his own hands. Upon awakening, the apprentice was filled with remorse and committed suicide by falling on the blade.]
Had the Crimson War Blade really upgraded to high-grade?
The enchanted Battle Spirit had increased from +1 Vitality +1 Spirit to +2 Vitality +2 Spirit.
The activation effect of Dark Side of the Moon had also changed from +5 Vitality +5 Spirit to +8 Vitality +8 Spirit.
If she were to use Dark Side of the Moon while wielding the Crimson War Blade again,
She would gain a terrifying total of +10 Vitality +10 Spirit.
But Ning Yu felt this skill should only be used in life-or-death situations.
Not to mention the upgraded -8 Charm could cause even more social death.
The long period of exhaustion afterward would surely leave her vulnerable for some time.
Moreover, what if she completely lost her sanity during the process and killed Shen Yiyue with a single slash?
This was indeed a high-risk, high-reward skill.
As for how it suddenly upgraded from medium to high grade, Ning Yu already knew the answer.
That day, she activated Dark Side of the Moon and killed the entire group of men with baseball caps.
The blade must have had its fill of blood then, causing the experience to surge by several hundred points.
Was human blood really that much more effective than zombie blood?
Did that mean she just needed to kill more people and take their blood to...
Wait, what?!
Ning Yu caught herself having these terrible thoughts.
This blade was truly sinister, beginning to tempt her the moment she held it, making no effort to hide its thirst for blood.
If she hadn't consciously noticed this, she might have ended up like the poor apprentice in the blade's description, doing something she would regret.
However, with such a powerful weapon enhancing her abilities,
She was confident she could handle even another direct confrontation with a Glutton.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu suddenly remembered the mutant zombie she encountered in the complex.
That Glutton had left her in such a desperate state, nearly ending her life right there.
If there were many more such mutant zombies outside, wouldn't that be extremely dangerous?
Encountering one was manageable, but if she ran into several at once, she probably couldn't handle it.
Future actions would need to be more careful and cautious, making frequent use of the system's [Detect] skill to constantly monitor the surroundings.
Right, she hadn't checked the storage space exchange privileges unlocked after killing the Glutton.
Ning Yu opened the mall and clicked on the [Special] section.
Besides the T-virus immunity capsule, there was one more item available for exchange.
[Storage Space (Low Grade): 5000 points]
[Can store non-system items, space of 2 cubic meters, items can be stored and retrieved at any time.]
There was also a gray notice beside it.
[Cannot store living beings, time flow ratio between space and reality is 1:15]
So expensive!
It actually cost 5000 points, with no discount.
Ning Yu's attitude was just like those people who would only buy games when they were on sale.
She had been spoiled by the [Weekly Special].
But its utility made Ning Yu's heart race - 2 cubic meters could store quite a lot.
If they needed to leave the mini-mart, they could use this space to carry many food items and daily necessities - it couldn't be more convenient!
And the specifically mentioned time flow rate was only 1/15 of real time - wasn't this basically a super refrigerator?
Things that would normally spoil in 1 day could now last 15 days, greatly extending food storage time.
Ning Yu immediately checked her points:
[Points: 5840]
She had over 9000 after killing the Glutton, but unfortunately had spent quite a bit exchanging for emergency medical supplies at the time.
All told, she had used up nearly 4000 points.
Although she had enough for the storage space, the silver-haired little girl still showed a pained expression.
Clicking exchange, her points immediately dropped to 840.
Several new lines appeared on Ning Yu's status panel.
[Storage Space (Low Grade): 0 cubic meters used]
[Space Contents: Empty]
She raised her delicate jade-like hand to another uneaten energy bar nearby.
With a thought, the energy bar disappeared from the table.
[Space Contents: Energy Bar (Chocolate Hazelnut Flavor) *1]
She picked up another one.
[Space Contents: Energy Bar (Chocolate Hazelnut Flavor) *2]
Similar items would be grouped together.
Then placing her hand on the now empty table, the two energy bars reappeared from the space.
It worked exactly as she had expected, very convenient.
Next, they just needed to inventory the supermarket's food and supplies, storing them in the space according to priority.
It would be like carrying a miniature supermarket with them wherever they went.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu made a decision.
It was time to leave this place.
After the trouble with the baseball cap men, the supermarket was in chaos.
The front door's lock had been destroyed by hydraulic cutters, and though they had blocked it with many shelves, it wasn't as secure as the original chain.
Who knew when this place would be targeted again, and she didn't want to go through something like that again.
......
At the dinner table that evening.
Ning Yu had woken from her unconscious state today and could cook again.
This made Shen Yiyue exclaim with joy, as she had been eating snacks for meals for several days and desperately missed Ning Yu's cooking.
On the table sat a pot of tomato potato beef stew.
The fragrant tomatoes, paired with tender potatoes and flavorful beef, were a perfect combination.
Scooping up some thick broth onto the rice, adding a piece of marbled beef, and taking a bite was simply heavenly.
The glutton Shen Yiyue ate two bowls of rice, nearly biting her tongue off in the process.
Ning Yu finished eating early.
While sipping the last mango milk, she spoke:
"Let's pack up tomorrow and prepare to leave this place?"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Shen Yiyue looked up at the silver-haired little girl with a puzzled expression:
"But there's still so much food here, wouldn't it be wasteful?"
Seeing Shen Yiyue's expression of reluctance to leave the food behind, Ning Yu silently tagged her as a 'hoarding hamster'.
She didn't answer Shen Yiyue, instead showing a mysterious smile:
"Come with me, I have something good to show you in my room."
The silver-haired little girl walked to her room door and waved to Shen Yiyue.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
