Chapter 514: New Equipment

Translator: BinBin92 Editor: EllisBLV13

Stepping over the warden’s mutilated corpse, Lin Sanjiu swaggered to the underground shrine’s entrance. Ji Shanqing quickly followed after; his body ached. When they almost reached the stairways, the woman walking in front of him suddenly stopped.

Lin Sanjiu’s clothing was soaked, sticking to her body. She smelled like rotten meat. She lowered her head and took a sniff. Then, she took her tank top off, wiped her face with it, crumpled it up and tossed it aside.

After that, she raised her head, taking in Deva’s idols in the surrounding.

The idols looked as though they had blended into the dark. Their smiling faces that were painted white created a stark contrast on the black. She had no idea how, but one thing was for sure, the Inhuman had done a great job carving those idols. The depictions of Deva were lifelike.

Pouting, Lin Sanjiu turned away from the idols. She threw a tank top over her body. A thought suddenly came to mind when she stepped on the first step of the staircase. She tilted her head and fell into thought.

“What’s wrong, sis?” Her grand prize asked.

“There will be more than six *duoluozhong *to deal with once we get out of here,” she muttered, “… but the choker is still cooling down.”

Understanding instantly dawned upon the grand prize. He spoke, “The [Battle Item]! We can use that!”

“But what kind of Special Item should I imitate?” Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and called out the [Battle Item] on her palm. She studied it in the dim light, “It must be a Special Item that can nullify or guard against Evolving Ability. Especially those nasty ones.”

Her grand prize introspected for a moment and jumped and said jubilantly, “[Notebook]! We can use the [Notebook]! Let me go through the book, sis. I’m fast at reading.”

Even at a time like this, even they were in a dire strait, a smile still found its way to Lin Sanjiu’s lips. Although she had memorized the details of some Special Items, none of them were useable right now. She took the [Notebook] out from her card and carelessly tossed it to her grand prize, shocking the latter. He extended his arms, and the book, which had become at least double of its original size, hopped twice in the air before finally dropped securely in his embrace.

“Hurry up. Let’s read while walking,” Lin Sanjiu gave him some light, urging, “I don’t want to lose track of the woman that saved us.”

“Okay, okay,” Ji Shanqing replied before burying his head into the book. As he flipped through the pages, he followed Lin Sanjiu.

The stairway was narrow and claustrophobic. She didn’t feel it when she was carried down, but once she moved up the flight of stairs step by step by herself, only then she realized how long the stairway was. She wondered how deep the underground shrine was.

It was tough to flip through a book while moving; hence, they had to slow down a bit so that the grand prize could read more comfortably. After a short time that seemed like an eternity, she heard her grand prize sigh behind her, and she pondered what had he read.

“See anything suitable?” Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help but turn around and ask.

Ji Shanqing did tell the truth when he claimed that he was fast at reading. In only a few minutes, he had already devoured at least 20 pages and filtered out those Special Items that he felt unusable. When he heard Lin Sanjiu’s question, he answered her without tearing his eyes away from the handbook, “Right now, I have my eyes on two. Both are pretty solid options, but each of them has their own flaws… Ah, I found another one! But this one is kind of—”

“We’re running short of time,” Lin Sanjiu said quickly, “Tell me what those three you found are.”

“The first one is [Transformer].”

[Transformer]

This is not a real transformer. It’s just a metaphor. A transformer is an apparatus for reducing or increasing the voltage according to the requirement of an electrical appliance. Usually, it could raise 110v to 200v and lower it by the same volts. Similarly, once the item is equipped, any damage received by the owner will be halved. Concurrently, all attacks released forth by the owner will be doubled. As long as the target is the owner, this item can be activated autonomously no matter what type of ability it is.

PS: All transformers have their own operational limit. Some of the transformers work on a 60v electrical appliance while some can be used on a 1,200v machine. Likewise, this item has a narrow limit range in the first year of activation. In other words, any attacks that exceed the tolerance range would render this item useless.

“Cross this out,” Lin Sanjiu immediately vetoed, “We might be facing tens or hundreds of *duoluozhong *outside. I’m pretty damn sure once they focus their attack on me, it would outstrip its tolerance range.”

The grand prize nodded and flipped to the next page.

[Weather Forecaster]

A rare humanoid Special Item that’s popular amongst singles. The appearance of the forecaster is randomized. There is a dashing middle-aged man, and also a Brazilian female host with a curvaceous figure. However, when a tall, golden-haired woman with a fiery temper appears, the accuracy of the forecast is 100% while the precision of the rest depends entirely on your luck.

Effect: Three seconds before your opponent unleash his attack, the forecaster will broadcast the effects, weaknesses, and the way to guard against the ability in owner’s mind. However, just like the weather forecast, it won’t be 100% accurate, so be sure to prepare yourself with extra layers of protection.

Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a few seconds after she heard the description.

“What about the next one?”

The next one was [We Will Never Go Into A Long Night Submissively].

This is a Special Item in the form of 50 battleships, all of which are about the size of a baby’s nail. Once released, the battleships will form a circuit around the user to escort him or her. Whenever they sense that there’s an unfriendly ability being cast against the user, they will go up and self-destruct to intercept the attack and protect their owner.

It is vital to take note that every interception, whether successful or not, will blow up a battleship. Once all 50 battleships have been used up, this Special Item will disappear forever. The success rate of interception is 65%.

Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help sucking her teeth.

What her grand prize had said was true. Each of these Special Items had its pros and cons, and their merits and demerits were kind of obvious. None of them knew what kind of situation they would be dealing once they got out of the underground shrine. There’s a high chance that they would encounter an encirclement; hence, they had to be extra careful in selecting their first Special Item.

“Sis, how about I look for more?” Ji Shanqing asked when he saw the tight frown on Lin Sanjiu’s face.

Lifting her head and looked ahead, the stairway was coming to an end. A pair of metal doors fastened with a brass appeared in her vision.

“That’s not necessary. We don’t have much time left, and we have to get out from here as soon as possible.”

Taking a deep breath, she finally had made up her mind. With a flick of her thought, the [Battle Item] took on the shape of the Special Item in her mind. The item laid quietly in her palm; everything remained perfectly still in the darkness.

As they pulled the two pieces of heavy metal off, the door struck a jarring note. The creaking noise grated their brains and caused their hairs to bristle in disgust. When the light pierced through the slit in between the doors, Lin Sanjiu was the first one to charge outside.

Suddenly, she yelled to her grand prize when she registered a figure with the corner of her eyes, “Watch out,” before hunkering down. She raised her head and looked above; only then she realized that the figure wasn’t their enemy.

It was a pair of legs suspending in midair. Blood dripped off from her feet to the ground. The woman that had just saved their life had been hung on top of the entrance of the underground shrine. Her countenance was bloodless, and her eyes were tightly shut. She looked dead, and Lin Sanjiu might think so as well if it wasn’t for the almost imperceptible rise and fall of her chest.

Lin Sanjiu looked around, and she understood why the *duoluozhong *decided to leave her over here.

Her frighteningly huge belly was sagging down due to the gravity. Her trousers were wet in blood and amniotic fluid. It looked as though the little monster—whatever it was—inside her belly was going to burst through that flimsy layer of skin to say hi to them.
