CHAPTER 1182: CHAPTER 1180: THE MYSTERIOUS COPPER BOX FRAGMENT

Through Murong Xue’s narrative, Wang Dadong roughly understood the relationship between Murong Xue and the Female Pirate Leader.

It turns out, this Female Pirate Leader looks only in her twenties or thirties, but in reality, she’s over fifty years old. It’s unclear why she became younger later. Originally, Murong Xue was the daughter of a merchant couple. During one shipment, their merchant ship was robbed by pirates.

The crew on the ship and her parents were all ruthlessly killed by the pirates, leaving only one survivor, Murong Xue. At that time, Murong Xue was only two years old, and was taken back by the Female Pirate Leader.

This incident had passed nearly twenty years, and Murong Xue couldn’t possibly have known until one day she accidentally saw the Female Pirate Leader’s notebook and discovered the truth.

She knew that wanting to kill the Female Pirate Leader for revenge was impossible because the Female Pirate Leader was a psychic.

The Female Pirate Leader’s special ability allows her to absorb any energy and convert it into her own strength.

Murong Xue had personally seen the Female Pirate Leader absorb the energy of a missile explosion. On that occasion, the latter single-handedly slaughtered a pirate force of thousands.

Fortunately, by chance, Murong Xue also awakened her special ability.

This ability can copy other people’s powers, the more intimate the contact, the higher the degree of copying.

But she never encountered anyone who could oppose the Female Pirate Leader, so she could only wait.

Until this time, she was assigned to seize something from the Tyrant, she knew her chance had finally come.

The Tyrant’s name in the Mercenary World was even louder than Hell’s Death Knell before. If she could copy the Tyrant’s powers, then she might have a chance for revenge.

So on the deserted island, Murong Xue told the boss about Wang Dadong’s unauthorized shipbuilding just to create an opportunity for herself.

An opportunity to copy Wang Dadong’s ability!

She succeeded, she successfully obtained Wang Dadong’s ability.

But what Murong Xue didn’t expect was that the Female Pirate Leader could absorb the energy of a nuclear explosion.

So powerful that it was shocking.

Fortunately, her guess was correct. After absorbing the nuclear explosion’s energy, the Female Pirate Leader must have reached her limit. If she absorbed another strong force, it might exceed her limit.

So she copied Wang Dadong’s strongest move.

Using the Giant’s Strength in the Zhe Zi Battle Decisive State to throw the Little Li Flying Dagger!

Indeed, the Female Pirate Leader instinctively absorbed the energy, then the energy exceeded her body’s capacity, and she self-destructed.

"Are you saying her special ability only became so strong a year ago?" Wang Dadong asked, frowning, as a bad premonition rose in his heart.

A little over a year ago, wasn’t that just after he completed the 3S task?

Murong Xue nodded and said, "The reason she became so strong, I’ve always suspected, is because of one thing."

At this point, Murong Xue took something out of her bosom and placed it in her palm.

Seeing the item in Murong Xue’s hand, Wang Dadong’s eyes widened instantly.

It was also a copper box fragment!

Murong Xue also had a copper box fragment!

"This is not mine, I stole it from her," Murong Xue explained.

"I don’t know what this thing is, but I think my ability awakening has a lot to do with it," Murong Xue said.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Dadong asked.

"Because my ability awakened after coming into contact with it."

Wang Dadong showed a look of shock, he didn’t expect the copper box fragment to have such an effect, to awaken Murong Xue’s ability.

"However, I think its abilities are not just limited to that," Murong Xue’s expression became grave.

"Oh, then what else do you think it can do?"

"I think its ability might be to make people’s wishes come true!" Murong Xue slowly exhaled.

Make wishes come true!

Wang Dadong was even more shocked, taking out his own copper box fragment. Although it was not the same shape as Murong Xue’s piece, from the color and the patterns on the fragment, it was evident that it indeed came from the copper box that was shattered during the 3S level task.

"This thing was always her most precious item, not even allowing me to touch it, so I always felt that the reason she had such powerful abilities was because of this fragment. Do you know what I was thinking when I stole the copper box fragment?" Murong Xue tilted her head to ask Wang Dadong.

"What was it?"

"I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great if I could have her powerful abilities, and then I really obtained the ability to copy others," Murong Xue said slowly.

Listening to Murong Xue’s words, Wang Dadong fell into contemplation, recalling the time in the sea.

He was taken to the seabed by a shark, his inner strength completely drained, facing death, when suddenly a surge of inner strength emerged within him.

At that time, he indeed had an intense longing to possess inner strength, and then he really had it.

Could it be that this copper box fragment can really make people’s wishes come true?

Isn’t that a bit too terrifying?

Thinking of this, Wang Dadong immediately wanted to try it out.

Back then, the copper box was able to heal Daphne, perhaps because Daphne desperately wanted to be healed, so Daphne was healed.

And his wish to be healed wasn’t strong, so the effect was not obvious.

"Don’t try it!" Murong Xue stopped Wang Dadong.

"Why not?"

"This thing has side effects!" Murong Xue said seriously.

"What side effects?" Wang Dadong blinked.

Murong Xue gently shook her head and said, "I don’t know exactly, but it certainly has side effects because... she used to be a man!"

Wang Dadong was confused, who used to be a man?

"It’s Poseidon!"

Poseidon is the Female Pirate Leader’s name.

No matter how you hear it, this name doesn’t sound like a woman’s name.

Because it was originally a man’s name.

Wang Dadong was completely stunned, swallowing hard, and asked, "You mean, because of using the fragment’s ability, the Female Pirate Leader transformed from a man into a woman?"

Murong Xue nodded.

"A year ago, he was still a man... here’s his photo." Murong Xue took out a photo, showing a man, a man with a cowboy-like image.

A man, who in the span of a year, turned into a woman, it’s simply too incredible to believe.

However, the evidence was right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe, Murong Xue had no reason to lie to him.

"The side effects seem to be more than just that, his eyes also changed, in fact, the eyes that were covered are not blind, but have turned into a peculiar color," Murong Xue continued.
