Chapter 137: Chapter 137 – Unlimited Fried Chicken Set
Ren Suo turned on the Small World game console, lowered the game volume, and eagerly navigated to the safehouse inventory.
Even at that juncture, he still did not fully understand the mechanics of the keys in the game.
The only thing that he was sure of was that the key was somewhat related to those who were Awakened, as most ordinary Practitioners who had not Awakened did not possess any keys.
For the case of Li Dan, Ren Suo had already retrieved the key from him once when he took part in the mass training camp. However, after a month, another key emerged from him!
Could it be that after retrieving a key from those who possessed them, the key would then be “replenished” after a certain CD time?
Would that not mean that Ren Suo would be able to continuously harvest the keys as long as he had a fixed group of Awakened friends?
If that was really the case, it would actually not be that difficult to obtain keys then.
Nonetheless, the moment Ren Suo saw the contents of his safehouse inventory, his excitement instantly subsided.
That was because the key before him was a 2-star key.
“2-star Insightful Key: There is an additional 15% chance to gain Insightful-type rewards.”
The key that Ren Suo obtained from Li Dan previously was a 1-star key. How did it become a 2-star key now?
Was it possible that not only would keys be regenerated but also upgraded after a certain period of time?
No, that would be too perfect.
Ren Suo recalled Li Dan’s appearance a month ago. Although he looked more languished now, it was undeniable that Li Dan gave Ren Suo a much stronger sense of attraction than before, almost like Yu Kuangtu with his distinguished aura.
Such an aura was not the psychological pressure caused by superiors on those who felt inferior. Rather, it was purely a ‘fear’ caused by the difference in strength of their respective breathing currents.
When faced with Practitioners who were stronger and of a higher level, the breathing current of the lower-levelled Practitioner would be slightly disrupted. Although the small disruption to the breathing current would not cause any major impact, it was able to make the lower-leveled Practitioner feel uneasy, “hinting” the presence of a higher-levelled Practitioner.
In other words, when such a feeling was felt, the Practitioner would know that he/she was facing a strong Practitioner who was many times stronger. At the least, it could prevent embarrassing tragedies from happening when low-levelled Practitioners provoked high-levelled Practitioners and end up being beaten.
As such, was it because Li Dan had become much stronger that a higher level key was regenerated?
What exactly was a key then, based on such a theory?
Ren Suo pondered for a while and knew that there was no strong evidence to prove nor deny his theory, so he recorded his questions down, extending his already long list of unanswered questions.
What was the aim of the Small World game console?
Am I the chosen one by fate?
When would I be able to build my harem of girls?
As a part of the next generation of leaders, how should I make use of the game console to contribute to society, by thinking about the mentalities of the people, the crises of those in dire situations, and how to relieve the plights of those in need?
A strong sense of responsibility came upon Ren Suo. He sorted out his worries and concerns for the country and the people, and turned around —
To activate the treasure chest happily.
At present, Ren Suo had a 2-star treasure chest as well as a 3-star treasure chest. The 3-star treasure chest could only be activated using a 3-star key.
Of course, Ren Suo could choose to wait for two more 2-star keys or four 1-star keys to be acquired to get three 2-star keys, which could be combined to form a 3-star key…
Ren Suo had thought previously that it did not appear very challenging to acquire the required keys, but now he knew – it was actually quite difficult to do so.
All in all, there were only two keys Ren Suo was more confident of retrieving, those from Lin Xianyu and Dong Chengling. As for the other people… even if Ren Suo decided to retrieve the keys forcefully, he might not be able to win the fight with them.
Just by considering how Lin Xianyu was Awakened, Ren Suo already thought that it was horrifying. Their Awakened Abilities could well destroy gold and jade, and the abilities of other Awakened students were also similarly powerful. With Rensuo’s current level of combat skill, he could well be killed instead if he did not manage to subdue his Awakened opponent with “Lock” at the first opportunity.
It would have been understandable if he were killed instead in such a situation, though. Who asked him to show off by trying to subdue someone who was stronger than him?
Ren Suo focused back on the present as he glanced at the 2-star treasure chest sitting quietly on the screen and chose to activate it!
Who would be able to resist activating a treasure chest that can be opened?!
[You used 2-star Insightful Key’ to activate this treasure chest.]
[You have received the Prop “Unlimited Fried Chicken Set”.]
“…What?” remarked Ren Suo, completely dumbfounded.
[Unlimited Fried Chicken Set]
[Grade: 2-star Prop. Pre-requisite: a digestive system must be present.]
[Effect: When equipped, the player can receive an extremely tasty fried chicken set by saying the phrase “fried chicken set” anywhere with a 40cm * 15cm * 18cm package in hand (the interior of the package must not be seen by others). The fried chicken set is able to satisfy the energy needs of an adult male for 1 day. The cooldown time is 12 hours.]
[Special Effect ①: You may add adjectives like “pepper”, “honey”, “soy sauce”, and “spicy” to describe the “fried chicken set” when spoken, to change the taste of fried chicken.]
[Special Effect ②: The invocation phrase “fried chicken set” may be changed to terms like “All Wings Bucket”, “Snack Bucket” or “Beef Tenders”. As long as the energy provided by the food is maintained, the request would be fulfilled as much as possible (refer to KFC for the full menu).]
[Remarks: Even the deities approve of the high-energy, extremely tasty and delicious food.]
Ren Suo was truly at a loss for words.
He did not receive any Insightful-type ability, although that was expected, there was only a 15% chance for that after all. In fact, he was already lucky the previous time to receive an additional reward.
Nonetheless, the Unlimited Fried Chicken Set was a 2-star Prop!
He had not imagined that such effects were possible with the Small World game console!
Ren Suo suspected that if he was even more unlucky, he might even receive a Prop like Unlimited Nuka Cola…
Could any object become a rewarded Prop just by adding the word “unlimited” in front of its?!
Why not give an Unlimited Holy Recovery Pistol? At the least, Rensuo would be able to become the master of weight loss programmes of the generation.
But now, the Unlimited Fried Chicken Set Prop he was rewarded with could only be used once every 12 hours. He would not even be able to compete with the school canteen vendors in selling food. Moreover, they even sold salted roasted chicken drumsticks!
The result turned out to be such a disappointment after finally managing to retrieve a key!
Even if I starve to death, I would not even want to eat the fried chicken from an unknown source given by the game console!
Although that was what Ren Suo thought, he still wanted to experiment, so he equipped himself with the Prop, found a backpack, and shouted: “Fried chicken set.”
Suddenly, he felt his hands weighing heavier and as soon as he pulled his hands out, he saw a fried chicken set with red-colored packaging.
Ren Suo looked disgusted as he muttered to himself, “Is this the thing… uh…”
“The smell is quite strong…”
“… I’m starting to feel slightly hungry.”
“… It’s so fragrant.”
When Ren Suo finished eating the fried chicken, he noticed that the red box on the table which had contained the fried chicken vanished into thin air.
Nonetheless, Ren Suo was not surprised. That was just a somewhat ordinary sight when compared to the Small World game console itself.
Ren Suo looked at the time – it was 00:57.
It was already the 21st.
It was May 21, the Lesser Fullness of Grain of the 24 solar terms!
In the end, Ren Suo had heeded the official advice of Neisser Studios and did not spend merit points to search for games. Instead, he waited patiently for three days to pass so he could consider what game to purchase during the possible discount event!
In the “World Shop”, there was a new section “Lesser Fullness of Grain Discount Event!”, in addition to “Immolation”.
A large message board appeared the moment Ren Suo clicked into the discount event —
“Be brave and you save!”
——————
After one full night of flying at high speeds, the bird finally descended and landed softly in a forest.
In just one night, it flew over 800 kilometers, straining and injuring many parts of its wings. Its body trembled slightly as it laid down on the ground.
It retched and spat out an extremely tiny glimmer of light, about the size of a speck of dust.
The glimmer of light was so small that it was difficult to see the shape of it, but very quickly, an ant came by and touched the glimmer with its feelers.
Whether the ant thought that the glimmer was a corpse or a sweet was not known, but the ant simply lifted the glimmer and trembled as it carried the glimmer back to its nest.
However, along the way, it was “licked” and eaten by a long and sharp animal. Along with the glimmer, the ant landed in the pangolin’s belly.
The pangolin continued to look for ants as it shook its head. Without managing to find any other ants in the area, it started to feel sleepy. The pangolin returned obediently to the hole it had dug, curled itself into a ball and quietly enjoyed its last peaceful night.
