CHAPTER 2: CHAPTER 2: BLOOD GIFT

Name: Zhou Yingting.

Power: 1

Defense: 1

Speed: 1

Spirit: 100 (Standard value 50)

Life Quota: 68

"Did you guys see, we have our own attribute panels now, but why are Power, Defense, and Speed all 1? Only Spiritual Power is 100."

Someone suddenly shouted at this moment, with a hint of puzzlement in their voice.

"Mine is also 1? Spirit 100."

"Mine too, why is my Life Quota only 3? What about yours?"

"This Life Quota seems to be measured in years, if you only have 3, it means you only have 3 years of life left!"

At this moment, everyone around started discussing continuously. Zhou Yingting listened to this and immediately understood that everyone’s basic attributes should be the same.

And his remaining lifespan was 68 years.

"How is it possible, how can my lifespan only be 3 years?"

The middle-aged man nearby kept roaring, not believing that he only had 3 years left.

The man in black at the back heard this and replied indifferently, "Don’t shout, your lifespan is definitely only 3 years. The entry can’t be wrong, maybe you have some disease that you haven’t detected, but consider it a free medical check-up."

"Also, don’t be too tense. If you’re lucky, you might get some Miracle Elixir later that will directly heal your disease."

"As for the other attributes, they’ve been initialized. When you gain attribute points, don’t think of it as multiple times the original base, or you’ll suffer."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in front trembled slightly and his face paled a bit.

Recently, he did feel unwell, but since he hadn’t checked at the hospital, he had no way of knowing what exactly was wrong.

"This is...."

After listening to the man in black’s explanation, Zhou Yingting silently noted this information in his mind, then lowered his head and carefully looked at the bottom of his attribute panel.

At this moment, there was another line below his attribute panel, and that thing seemed somewhat eerie.

"Blood Gift!"

’Your Life Value is halved, you gain an increase in all-body three-dimensional attributes equal to the deducted Life Value.’

Hiss...

Zhou Yingting looked at the entry in front of him and shuddered all over.

His Life Quota was still 68, which meant he could live for 68 more years, but if he chose this option, it meant he could only live for 34 years?

This was directly cutting half of his life, wasn’t it too harsh!

So, is this the negative effect?

But similarly, this effect is extremely powerful, with three-dimensional attributes times 34, meaning Power, Defense, and Speed directly +34, which is a massive increase.

Even though these attributes might not make him one versus ten, at least he could fight seven or eight people without any problem.

Moreover, with 34 points of speed, it should be quite useful in the upcoming tasks.

But the deduction of Life Value is way too harsh.

Zhou Yingting rubbed his brow, and suddenly his gaze paused slightly, noticing there was another line of description under the entry.

[Blood Gift entry can be paired with Growth entry + Primordial Energy entry to increase Life Value.]

What is this?

Teaching how to pair entries?

Zhou Yingting looked at this description in a daze, his eyes then turning puzzled.

After a slight contemplation, Zhou Yingting hurriedly looked at the other two entries.

"Promise You Three Days!"

’Your Life Value will only be left with three days, and you will gain a 1000-point increase in All Attributes!’

[Promise You Three Days entry can be paired with Yama’s Demands entry, allowing Yama’s Demands to delay until three days after death.]

Zhou Yingting looked at this entry and his heart throbbed again.

This entry is powerful, even making Yama’s Demands step back, but what’s the use of this, you’d still have to die!

Zhou Yingting shook his head, such an entry is completely unusable.

"Level 1 Steel Hardening Technique."

’When used, your defense will be tripled, usage condition: lose 1 point of Spirit per second.’

Huh, why is there no final frame pairing explanation for the last entry?

Zhou Yingting carefully looked at the last entry, then he paused for a moment, and after a careful inspection, he found this entry and the previous two entries seemed somewhat different.

As Zhou Yingting was puzzled, he heard the explanation from a man in black behind him.

"Entries are generally divided into two types, a Talent Entry and a Magic Entry."

"You can understand the Talent Entry as a passive state, whereas the Magic Entry is an active skill, the Magic Entry is activated only when you actively use it, but there is usually a price to pay for using the Magic Entry."

"Most of the cost is in Spiritual Power, and when your Spiritual Power drops below the standard value, you may go mad, self-harm, or fall into various illusions."

"So when using Skills, you need to always pay attention to your mental state."

Zhou Yingting looked up at the sound, and sure enough, it was the man in black explaining.

Hearing this, those around immediately thanked him in a hurry, knowing that if it weren’t for his explanation, they might use it randomly and end up dead!

"Heh, no need to thank him, if he’s explaining so diligently, he might have synthesized a Gentleman’s Entry."

Someone nearby saw this scene and gave a strange smile.

The man in black heard this, his expression slightly sinking, but he didn’t refute anything.

Zhou Yingting looked at the scene in front of him and felt a bit puzzled, "I have a question, I see that the Talent Entries on here require to pay one’s life as the cost, are those costs reversible?"

According to the entry descriptions, it seems these negative effects can be reversed, right?

"Of course, there are, but there are too many entries, it’s not like you can cancel these negative effects just because you want to."

The man in black replied, explaining.

Zhou Yingting got stunned hearing this, "So there isn’t a specific method to eliminate this negative cost?"

"Specific method?"

The man in black looked at Zhou Yingting strangely, "Where are there any specific methods? Some entries may have effects that happen to offset each other, or some fusion entries might offset as well, but the probability is low, and it’s risky."

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting was suddenly stunned and then carefully looked at the entries in front of him.

At this moment, Zhou Yingting realized that the additional description he saw seemed to differ in font and appearance from the entries.

"Could it be said that such a description can only be seen by oneself, belonging to one’s Golden Finger?"

Zhou Yingting’s heart jumped, then his eyes shone brightly!

If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean he can walk an extraordinarily safe extraordinary path!?

The more Zhou Yingting thought so, the more joyous he felt.

For now, it seems the first entry is the only one usable.

The second one hasn’t even found a solution, just this point shows not all Talent Entries can be resolved.

Once some Talent Entries are obtained, it seems it’s a certain death scenario.

As for Magic Entries, they don’t seem to provide a solution.

Probably because there is no inherent danger in using this magic?

But in any case, for now, this Magic Entry is useless, and the first one is the priority.

With this thought, Zhou Yingting reached out and selected the first entry.

As Zhou Yingting selected the entry, he felt as if something surged into his body, and he felt his power rising.

As Zhou Yingting selected the entry, others around started wailing.

"It’s over, these three entries are all life-threatening, how do I choose?"

"Same here, deducted my Life Value, or forcibly limited my Spiritual Power cap. If the cap is too low, I won’t even be able to cast magic later!"

People around appeared a bit collapsed at this moment.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what entries these people chose.

"You better choose quickly; you only have five minutes to select an entry, and you’re about to enter the dungeon."

Seeing these people still hesitating, the man in black reminded them.

Hearing this, the hesitant ones got more anxious.

They looked extremely flustered, finally settling on their respective entries in their last moments of hesitation.

As they made their choices, the bus gradually came to a stop.
