Chapter 278: Siren’s Egg

Chapter 278: Siren’s Egg

Even Burwell, who didn’t know the inside story, suddenly sensed that the situation was not good after a minute.

Because at this time, Fang Linyan had successfully imprinted 3 “Eater Mark” on him, and an Okami Tree Puppet was summoned to attack him.

The appearance of Okami Tree Puppet looked like a festering crow. Its body was covered with rot green mildew and fungus, only 2 eyes were emitting bloody light. Its speed was very fast. It had 2 attack patterns:

One was to peck directly with the mouth, and there was another long-range attack, which was to spray light black corrosive liquid from its mouth.

In other words, Burwell was already suffering from a terrifying 3-way attack.

If he hesitated for another half a minute, he would be facing the 4-way attacks!!

Burwell didn’t know how long Fang Linyan could resist, but he knew very well that he couldn’t last long after drinking the healing potion.

Under such circumstances, Burwell suddenly roared,

“Stop!! Stop!!!”

Fang Linyan said,

“Okay!”

As he said ‘okay’, he launched another [Dragon Cough Flash] on Burwell’s head.

When Burwell heard him, his mind suddenly slackened, but he did not expect the enemy to still attack. He roared in pain,

“Didn’t you say okay?”

Fang Linyan punched him in the face again, making his brain buzz,

“I said okay, but I didn’t say I won’t hit you again.”

Burwell was seeing stars being punched in the face, and he was more infuriated. However, he was in a disadvantage. He could only roar in grief and indignation,

“I lost, I admit it!! If you kill me, you may not be able to draw the most valuable things from me, but if you are willing to let me go, I will show all my equipment for you to choose! If you don’t agree to this, I will perish together with you!”

Burwell shouted angrily as he showed Fang Linyan something.

After Fang Linyan saw this thing, an indescribable feeling of nostalgia emerged in his heart.

Yes, this thing was a very strange bomb, Fang Linyan had seen it in the black market of joint trial before. Its name was afterlife.

What impresses Fang Linyan most was that although its power was amazing, the area damage was almost instantaneous, but the surrounding people had a certain chance to survive. It cost the user’s soul energy to activate.

That was to say, no matter whether the enemy dies or not, the user must be dead…

He didn’t expect to see it on Burwell! And it was also used as a trump card!

After pondering for a while, Fang Linyan said,

“I don’t have time to slowly watch all your equipment! This is most likely a means of delaying time!”

“I want 5,000 common points. If you don’t have it, trade it with potential points. 1 potential point = 2,500 common points.”

“Then trade me the equipment that increased your strength. All the trade must be completed within 10 seconds. No explanations, no bargaining!”

“This is your last chance!”

Burwell hissed,

“It’s the talent skill that doubles my strength, not the equipment! If you don’t believe me, look!”

As he spoke, he showed the description of the talent skill.

Fang Linyan glanced at it briefly, then he said lightly,

“Then I want another equipment, which was to be able to mislead the [Reconnaissance] and show that you are a plot character. I will give you 10 seconds to consider. 10, 1! Time is up!”

Burwell gritted his teeth and said in distress,

“Isn’t it 10 seconds to think about it? Well, let’s sign the contract, otherwise how would I know that you won’t kill me after the trade?”

Fang Linyan was stunned,

“Sign a contract? My rank doesn’t seem to be enough.”

Burwell said,

“I can.”

So the 2 parties signed the contract directly.

The approximate content was that Burwell gave Fang Linyan 5,000 common points/or 2 potential points + accessory with camouflage function, then they entered a state of peace within 8 hours. Neither could harm each other.

As for the cost of signing the contract 1000 points, of course it was paid by Burwell.

The contract floated directly in mid-air, and the translucent fonts emitted a faint blue light, making it clear even at night.

After both parties confirmed through Noah Mark on their chests at the same time, the contract turned into light dots, then it took effect directly and submerged into their bodies. The trade process was omitted.

Fang Linyan found that his potential points increased by 1 point, and his common points increased by 2500 points.

Not only that, but there was an additional piece of accessory that emitted a black light in the private space.

At this time, Burwell was of course very annoyed. He originally thought that he could pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger, but in the end, he could only pretend to be a pig and almost become a meat in the tiger’s mouth. In this result, he could only leave in annoyance.

Watching Burwell leaving, Fang Linyan began to look at the latest piece of jewelry he got.

This ornament was about the size of a fist and was enclosed in a piece of crystal. Inside the crystal was a mass of black matter with a vortex pattern on it.

Then, a series of prompts came.

Siren’s Egg

Type: Accessory

Material: Fruit of black lilac flower, silver bee wax, universal solvent, dark essence

Quality: Black

Required Conditions: Spirit above 8.

Explanation: This is an ornament made from an organ of the ancient siren. During the refining process, the power of the siren, which is good at enchanting humans, is sealed in it, which can be used to mislead your enemies.

Passive ability: {Breath Across Time}, the ancient siren has extraordinary charm and beauty, which can make the sailors on the ship not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. They are even envied by the beauty gods.

When you carry this accessory, you will also emit a strange hormonal smell. It will also give you an extra 10 charisma when dealing with male creatures.

(That is to say, your charisma is still only 3, but once a charisma-related judgment is made with a male creature, it will default to 3+10)

Passive ability: {Siren’s Charm}, after sensing the enemy’s detection, feedback the false information you set. (You can set your own false information after holding the Siren’s Egg for more than 10 seconds. The higher the perception of the setter, the more detailed the setting will be.)

Negative passive ability: {Siren’s Curse}, this siren’s soul is still trapped in the accessory in agony. Whenever the {Siren’s Charm} is triggered, there is a 40% chance to forcibly deduct 1000 common points from you.

If your common points are less than 1000 points, then the value of a certain basic attributes will be randomly reduced by 2~3 points for a duration of 36 hours.

{Siren’s Curse} applies up to 3 times per 24 hours, and it will only trigger in the adventure world.

Inscription: Use it to conquer every man you meet!

…..

Fang Linyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry while holding this thing, but he still put it on. After all, its passive ability was still very useful.

If it wasn’t for Burwell’s own flaws in the setting, Fang Linyan would have really thought he was a plot character.

Where was the flaw?

It was because the information from [Reconnaissance] at that time was too trash.

The setting this guy had set for himself was: Except his strength was 8, the rest of the attributes were very mediocre like a commoner!

This information was completely overdone by pretending to be a pig.

The New York Duckland Company they worked for was a multinational corporation, which could probably be easily among the top 500.

The recruitment of such a large company must be very good. Ordinary people were eager to enter, so the guards selected must be of much higher quality than the other companies.

Not to mention that this time, the Duckland Company selected the top talents from the recruited elites to perform special missions.

If it was an ordinary guard, it could be explained by nepotism or the like, but the group clearly attached great importance to this mission. This mission was quite urgent. The recruited guards would have to risk their lives, so they certainly wouldn’t recruit ordinary guards.

Under such circumstances, unless Tana who picked the guards was braindead, otherwise how could Burwell, a guy with more strength than ordinary people without other abilities be chosen?

Obviously, Fang Linyan didn’t think Tana was braindead, so there must be something wrong with Burwell.

At this moment, Fang Linyan grabbed the Siren’s Egg and injected his mana little by little, then felt that his consciousness was immersed in a virtual space and began to set the character.

At the same time, he was also told that because his current perception is 11 points, he could set 3 false abilities/attributes/skills of his own.

Fang Linyan frowned, then he had plan.

…..

After setting the deception attributes, Fang Linyan found that his existing common points and potential points could be used to upgrade a skill.

The abilities that Fang Linyan could upgrade now include: [Refraction LV1], Basic Endurance LV3, Basic Melee LV4, Tier C Class Ability: {Combat Technology Support LV4} and so on.

[Refraction] was an epic option when extracting, so when he wanted to upgrade it, he had to pay 2 potential points and 3000 common points, which was equivalent to the cost of upgrading ordinary skills to LV4. Advanced skills represented burning points as expected.

At this time, it seemed that the most cost-effective was to upgrade Basic Endurance from LV3 to LV4, which could draw an additional passive ability. He could also unlock the upgrade requirement of Joint Lock LV3 to LV4.

However, if he pursued immediate combat power, he could also upgrade Basic Melee to LV5. After all, both Fang Linyan and his summon could enjoy the bonus of this skill.

In the end, what made Fang Linyan make a decision was that he suddenly thought that before entering this world, he had spent more than an hour of precious training time to strengthen Basic Endurance.

If there was an experience bar between Basic Endurance LV3 and LV4, then he believed that the progress was almost halfway through.

If he were to improve Basic Endurance at this time, wouldn’t his previous efforts be wasted?
