CHAPTER 193: CHAPTER 161: UNDYING WORSHIP! (TWO IN ONE, 2/5)_2

"Sister Yiyi, we’re family. There’s no need to talk about who’s helping whom; we’re a family, we don’t act like strangers. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. And yes, it’s probably time we thought about moving."

"You were the one earning money to support me before. Now, it’s my turn to earn money and support you. Besides, because of me, you’ve been held back for so many years, so you should..."

Chen Mo was just saying this when Liu Yiyi’s slender fingers sealed his lips.

Her gaze drifted into the distance as she murmured, "For every day he doesn’t return, I will continue to wait..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo’s expression couldn’t help but darken.

I wonder what charm my dad has, that he somehow managed to utterly enchant Sister Yiyi like this?

"I’ll do as you say. But from now on, please don’t go out to work anymore. Just rest at home. The money I earn is enough."

"Alright then. You should find a wife soon and have a little baby for me to play with. Otherwise, I’ll be so bored at home all by myself."

"Sister Yiyi, you’re saying that again! I’ve only just come of age. It’s too early for that," Chen Mo said, his face turning slightly red.

"Oh, you’re so thin-skinned, blushing after just a few words. It’ll be difficult for you to chase girls! I wonder if any girl would be willing to pursue you. Our Mo is quite handsome, I’d say," Liu Yiyi said, chuckling as she playfully pinched Chen Mo’s cheek.

"You two siblings have such a good relationship, not like my kids who’ve been fighting since they were little," the female stall owner said with a chuckle as she brought over two bowls of fried noodles.

"A bit of bickering isn’t bad; it makes the home feel lively," Liu Yiyi said with a laugh. She had just finished speaking when the young man cleaning a nearby table grumbled, "What do you mean, bickering? It’s always my older sister bullying me one-sidedly."

Hearing this, the few people nearby couldn’t help but laugh.

Observing the down-to-earth atmosphere of the night market stall, Chen Mo temporarily forgot the cruel and hectic life of a professional.

After their late-night meal, the two returned to the hospital, bringing the supper with them.

Upon returning, they saw his grandparents absorbed in conversation, practically inseparable.

Her husband had nearly passed through the Gate of Ghosts, and she herself had also nearly faced death’s door.

The mentality of both had changed, and they naturally cherished the person before them even more.

Later that night, while the other three were resting, Chen Mo took out the materials he had bought and began to synthesize Unwinding Worship.

As soon as the legendary-level material was added, the synthesis was quickly successful.

[Congratulations, the synthesis was successful!]

[Please choose one of the following three synthesis options as the final result!]

[1]: Undying Worship·Red (Bound) ’Upon receiving fatal damage, continue to survive for 5 seconds before dying.’

[2]: Moon Worship·Red (Bound) ’When cast at night, this Skill’s base effect is doubled.’

[3]: Evolution Worship·Red (Bound) ’During its duration, each unit killed increases your attributes by 1%.’

The third special effect is only useful against many enemies. The second one’s effectiveness differs between day and night. Undying Worship is still the best; it lets you survive fatal damage for 5 seconds. That’s a really powerful special effect!

Recalling the Extreme Poison Seed, that god-grade BOSS which spread damage upon its death, Undying Worship is its perfect counter.

After glancing at the three red Skills, Chen Mo immediately chose the first one—Undying Worship!

[Undying Worship·Red]

Profession: Skeleton Mage

Level Requirement: 5

Cooldown: 60 seconds

Effect: Consume 100 Energy to cast Undying Worship on all summoned creatures within a range of ’star level × 100 meters’. This increases their attack speed and attack power by 100%, and causes their attacks to apply Unwinding and Despair to the target; these effects can stack.

Furthermore, during the Skill’s duration, the summoned creatures gain the ’Immortal’ and ’Flying’ abilities.

If a summoned creature dies while under this effect, its killer will be afflicted with a Death Curse, increasing all damage they receive by 5%; this curse can stack.

The duration of Undying Worship is permanent, but its effects do not stack when reapplied to the same unit.

Now that it’s reached top-tier, the previous 50% bonus has doubled to 100%! It also became an area-effect Skill with a permanent duration. This is so strong! The improvement from advancing its rank is truly insane.

With the Immortal Ability, my Skeleton Army can attack recklessly for at least 5 seconds. Five seconds might not seem like much, but when their numbers are large, the amount of attacks they can deliver is incredible.

My Undead Army is truly on the rise!

It’s just a pity that they’re all currently just trashy Little Skeletons; not a single one of them even has a Skill.

Otherwise, they’d be even more awesome!

Everyone slept soundly that night. After all, Liu Yuanzong had finally awakened, so everyone’s hearts could finally be at ease. This was the most peaceful night’s sleep Liu Yiyi and Qiu Yuehong had experienced in many days.

「The next day」

As soon as dawn broke, Liu Yuanzong was already up and exercising.

Diligent exercise could earn one hidden resistance rewards.

While those in combat professions, who are active outdoors all day, might not particularly need it, some individuals in lifestyle professions that involve less physical activity often needed to exercise. This was to enhance their own resistance, making them better able to withstand most diseases.

Having experienced such an unexpected illness, Liu Yuanzong naturally cherished his life even more.

However, after a night’s sleep, he suddenly thought of his old friends.

They had gone fishing together back then, and it seemed everyone had been infected. He wondered how they were doing now.

He tried to contact them.
