CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 35: SAVING YOUR SORRY LIFE

After activating the system, Su Yue fell into a complete coma.

Whether he can save himself depends on fate.

Unsure how much time has passed, Su Yue felt something sticky and slippery in his mouth, along with a particularly foul odor.

He abruptly opened his eyes, and before him was a murky scene.

Suddenly, a suffocating feeling surged towards him.

Splutter!

It was sewage.

Water clogged his throat and nostrils, and Su Yue used all his strength to stand up.

The slippery thing turned out to be a small fish, almost slipping into his gullet.

Cough, cough cough...

Su Yue suppressed his nausea, coughing fiercely, then began to observe his current environment.

It was late night, but he didn’t know the exact time; the detector and his phone had been crushed.

However, he could use the system to judge the date.

The cost of love would have a countdown leading to limb disability.

Calculating the time, it was exam day, but dawn had yet to break; at least, nothing major was delayed.

It was a small river, with many plastic bottles floating on its surface along with some trash; he stood at the riverbank, overgrown with weeds.

Not far away, several bodies were floating.

Indeed.

Those bodies were the high school students who were captured along with him.

"Looks like I really survived."

Su Yue gasped heavily.

...

Available diligence points: 77 points.

Diligence counter:

1. Sleep exemption

2. The cost of love

3. Save your worthless life

4. Difference between humans and ghosts

Qi Blood value: 16 cards

...

Sure enough, new skills were added to the diligence counter, and simultaneously, 1000 diligence points disappeared.

Save your worthless life:

As a kind-hearted, omnipotent invincible system, it can save your worthless life once.

But even for a dog, life is precious.

Next skill activation condition: Spend diligence points 1,000,000.

...

Su Yue glanced at the system, his heartbeat accelerated.

The system saved his worthless life.

No.

Why should I have a worthless life, even if you saved me, there was no reason to insult me.

This skill is quite considerate, not the kind that’s for one-time use.

But the condition for next activation is despairing.

One million diligence points.

The difficulty is multiplied by 1000 times.

It’s unimaginable.

Seems, in the future, I have to cherish my... no, life.

Anyway, surviving this calamity was truly lucky.

"Dr. Jiu Mao is dead; there is no point for those cultists to capture high school students anymore. They threw the bodies into the river and probably left."

Su Yue walked out of the river, muttering to himself.

Before he fell into a coma, he seemed to hear the group say they were leaving Renqing Province.

Perhaps returning to the moist realm?

Huh?

These hairs?

My gosh!

I’ve become a monster.

Under the night sky, Su Yue suddenly realized he was covered in wet, sticky long hair all over his body, much like the aquatic plants floating by the river, differing only in color.

Su Yue’s heart raced in panic.

He vaguely remembered that those beasts, Baimei and Fenjiao, ended up in this state after drinking.

Tattoo.

Yes, the sun tattoo.

Su Yue barely contained his fear, hurriedly ran to the river side to check his reflection.

Indeed.

Through the moonlight, the water surface reflected a monster.

Covered in long hair, resembling a wild man from Shennongjia, more nauseating was that water continuously dripped from the hair.

Identical, Su Yue became such a monster.

Grinding his teeth, he fiercely pulled off a handful of wet hair from the top of his head.

The bloody scalp indeed had a sun pattern.

Bald monk, damn you.

How can I live, quickly shed the hair.

Su Yue was so furious he nearly collapsed.

Becoming this ghastly form, it would have been better not to resurrect and just die.

"Huh... it’s shedding!"

Su Yue hadn’t even finished complaining when he suddenly found that the handsome youth reflected in the river returned.

Long hair retreated into his body at a visible speed.

Upon closer check, the sun tattoo on the head also disappeared.

"I remember now. That Dr. Jiu Mao said that once the serum is fully integrated, I can evade all detection, freely entering and leaving the moist realm.

"I succeeded!

"Though the cost of my success was death. But no one expected that I have the system, I can resurrect.

"In the end, I am an upright human, I cannot become a ghost, I am of pure Divine Land blood, not to be defiled."

Su Yue calmed down, carefully pondering the whole story.

Huh!

There seems to be an additional skill in the system, which I previously overlooked.

Difference between humans and ghosts (As a human, remember your lineage.)

Effect: Can collect serum, temporarily simulate a peculiar race!

Each activation will consume diligence points proportionate to time.

So it’s a system skill, almost scared me to death.

Pure blood is key!

Activate the skill!

Sure enough.

Effortlessly, like opening one’s mouth while eating, everything happens naturally.

Su Yue could freely switch between two states.

Of course, the diligence points depleted rapidly, almost calculated by the second.

"Sigh, truly a tumultuous fate, I haven’t even entered the battlefield, almost became a spy, fortunately, I have the system."

Su Yue meticulously obliterated traces of his exit, then ran toward Cengyan City’s downtown.

Cengyan City had only one lake, he could roughly determine the way home.

As for the Investigation and Arrest Bureau, Su Yue didn’t dare to report.

He witnessed everything, and survived; if caught and taken to a lab for dissection research, it would be meaningless.

Although Su Yue doesn’t have great wisdom, he does have basic vigilance.

Since the Yangxiang Race could produce a maniacal Dr. Jiu Mao, who knows if Earth’s human camp has even more insane scientists.

Sacrificing oneself for all mankind, what’s letting a miscellaneous fish be?

Absolutely cannot take risks.

Once it’s daytime, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau will discover those bodies.

All this must rot in my stomach.

...

"Huh, my power seems much stronger than before."

Suddenly, Su Yue realized a problem.

His running speed increased vastly, even faster than when his Qi Blood was at 16 cards.

Woosh.

Su Yue didn’t think much, he stomped the ground fiercely, and his body shot straight upwards.

Over the past few days, he had been constantly practicing Ku Bu, and it became instinct.

"Huh, my ability to control Qi Blood improved... is this height already reaching 10 meters..."

Seeing the ground further away from him, Su Yue’s joyful heart raced.

Just about to fall, the roadside was planted with numerous willow trees, Su Yue originally hadn’t planned to train to the next step, yet he instinctively stepped on a willow branch.

Clap!

No one could have anticipated, a crisp sound burst beneath his foot.

At that moment, Su Yue felt like stepping on solid ground — wrong, it somewhat differed from the ground, a rebounding force appeared at his foot.

Indeed.

This rebound force effortlessly launched his body again.

Scenery rapidly shifted before his eyes, the ground further distanced from him.

Cengyan City’s greenery was excellent, willow trees were roughly over 10 meters tall.

This trampoline-like leap, Su Yue soared over 20 meters.

Amazing.

Surviving disaster indeed brings subsequent blessings.

I finally shed the disgraceful label of the Su Family; I’m not a clod, nor a waste.

No

I am not!

Gosh, how do I get down, 20 meters up, almost like 8 stories high.

Will my legs break from the fall?

Splash.

Fortunately, there was a beach ahead, Su Yue successfully landed on it, although he still crashed severely.

"This Ku Bu has bugs, if trained to five sounds, would one not die from falling over 50 meters?

This is just one sound and it’s as high as a 20-story building."

Su Yue rubbed his aching backside.

...
