Chapter 42
In addition, there is no valuable information on the internet, so the only thing left for them that the mobile phone is useful for is navigation.
Xia Xinyan also tried to call the police, but all the lines were busy, just like the result of the man's attempt...
This is also expected.
Rather, it's abnormal to be able to make a phone call under such circumstances.
The passer-by NPC finally chose to stay in the hotel. Although he was a little scared of Ling Mo and the others, the situation outside was more dangerous. Choosing the lesser of the two evils was the best choice.
But he stayed on the first floor in the room closest to the entrance, with Xia paying little attention.
'At least he hasn't shown any abnormalities so far.'
As for the rest of the day, the four of them got together to talk—— because there was nothing else to do.
The main thing is to show each other their abilities—— Fatty's ability has also been used once before. In simple terms, he can control the element of lightning, but it is not a common superpower. To be more precise, his skill is the element of thunder and lightning created by casting spells.
In other words, Fatty is a mage.
The biggest difference between casting spells and controlling it a medium problem. The former needs one more step to use the ability than the latter, so it is more difficult to get started. However, spellcasting often relies more on the elements of the world itself, so its upper limit is higher than the superpower system that creates elements by itself.
In her previous life, Fatty relied on this ability to reach the top 30 in the rankings, but Xia did not meet Fatty so early—— because he directly got into war zone, so when they've seen each other again they were like strangers. They were no longer in the same circle, even if there was a high school friendship, the two of them will not be able to return to their original relationship, at best they can they can be regarded as acquaintances.
Even if she got on the leaderboard later by relying on her ability to cut corners, the situation of the two of them has been set in stone, so there wasn't much overlap.
So seeing the fat man now, Xinyan felt a little strange.
It was also the first time she felt so intuitively how much power she had now——
A speck of dust that has the power to change the entire future.
As much as she wants.
This kind of power that may not even be possessed by an emperor can easily devour a person's heart, but after all, Xia has died once, so her mentality in this regard is much more casual. Apart from some stray thoughts, she has no other ideas.
'Ahem, we're straying from the topic.'
As for Murong Yue's ability, just like Xia Xinyan's, it's animal transformation.
But her attribute is 《Leopard》.1
Murong Yue didn't say much, only increased strength, speed, and also included the ability that turned her hands into leopard claws, other than that, there seemed to be nothing special about it.
To be honest, Xia is even more familiar with her abilities than Murong herself.
All leopards have extremely strong explosive power, and Yue's ability is also the same. After she grows up, when she activates leopard transformation, its maximum effect can even give her a hundredfold increase in strength in certain specific areas—— It sounds even more broken than Ling Mo's ability.
In fact, this is true. In her previous life, Murong Yue's highest ranking was 57, but in this state, she can even single out the top ten players on the ranking list, and she really has a chance of winning.
But the reason why she can only be ranked 57 is because this ability also has a huge flaw.
Leopard's explosive power is very strong, but its sustaining power is not enough. The same is true of her ability. She has a very strong strength in the initial period of the ability, but it will soon weaken and gradually reach an average level—— Judging by this, she wouldn't even be able to make it to the leaderboard.
That's why someone commented on her in her previous life—— a real woman for three seconds.
——Later, that person was hammered into the ICU by her.2
But now that she is not familiar with her own abilities, Murong's expression is obviously distasteful for her own abilities—— at least it is much weaker than Fatty's explosive blow just now.
Ling Mo himself disliked himself even more, especially when he took out a brick to demonstrate his ability.
That's why Xia Xinyan repeatedly mentioned that there are no weak abilities in this game, only players who haven't developed or can't use abilities.
For example, Murong Yue, her powers are strong, but if she waste her three seconds before fighting, she will not even be able to touch the edge of the leaderboard.
For example, Fatty, his ability is also strong, but if he chooses to be a melee mage, even the current Xia can knock him, who was at the peak state on the leaderboard back then, to the ground with a hammer—— because Fatty's melee strength is really bad. There is no redeeming feature other than a larger body.
For example, Ling Mo, who doesn't know how to program himself, blames the computer for not having software.
This sentence probably applies to herself, she still hasn't figured out the correct way to use her cat transformation ability.
Succubus has almost figured it out, but she really doesn't want to use it.
'I always feel like I'm going to let myself down...'
It was evening, and the four of them went back to their rooms to get ready to rest. In the end, Fatty discussed the order of vigil with others, and he also took the first watch by his own wish.
The rooms chosen by the four are all close together to ensure that they can respond quickly in case of any unexpected situation. The fat man found a chair and a spare flashlight at the front desk on the first floor, then sat down in the corridor on the second floor and started a long night.
Although this is a hotel, the room conditions are quite good. The twin room is quite spacious, and the bed is quite comfortable to lie on. The most important thing is that the bathroom is still made of frosted glass.
After Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan returned to their room, he couldn't help but glance towards the bathroom from time to time.
God knows what's going on in his head right now.
Strictly speaking, this is not the first time that he and Xinyan spent the night together. In the last dungeon, he and Xia spent the night squeezed together in a tent, and the posture when he woke up made him embarrassed for a long time.
But this time is different.
At least the atmosphere is different.
When he was adventuring in the wild, he thought more about how to survive, and his interest in games at that time also somewhat covered up his virgin youthfulness. But now that he has a certain understanding of the game, the focus is more on the experience, but his virgin's innocence has not changed, so now he's facing this kind of scene that looks like a couple living in a house... The uneasiness in his heart can be imagined.
The only regret is that this is not an open room. It's impossible to take a bath and sleep normally under such circumstances.
'...No, no, no, I can't say it's a pity.'
Cough cough, what is he thinking...
"Mo Mo, do you want to take a bath?"
At this moment, Xia Xinyan's voice suddenly came from behind him, teasing a little imperceptibly.
"There is still hot water here..."
Ling Mo was shocked on the spot.
"?!"
