Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 9 009: Commodities

[Mysterious Item: Random Innate Talent Orb *1 (100 Ominous Copper Coins)]

[Bonus Tip: This round of mystery items all contain this item, which might be your easiest chance to defy fate! If you're not satisfied with your current innate talents, why not... give it a try? Friendly Reminder: Limited-time offer, limited-time special price.]

"You can even change your innate talent!?"

Surprised as he was, Ling Xiao quickly came up with no idea after a moment's thought.

The Gluttonous Heart is very weak in the early stages, but he feels that the randomly generated talents are mostly inferior to it.

Unless someone truly hates their innate talent, surely no one would gamble away a hundred copper coins, right?

That being said, the mystery item itself is still a valuable piece of news.

Because everyone has the same mystery item today, and the time limit for the random talent orb is the same as that for the trial mission.

The news that the campfire, trial, and talent orb will all end at the same time is invaluable to those who want to defy fate.

Besides, it cost him a copper coin after all.

After taking the screenshot, he sent it to friends like [Ba Yi Cai Dao]. Since they wanted to build a good relationship, Ling Xiao couldn't always be the one getting the benefits.

Whether others know it or not, it's a reflection of one's own attitude!

I've already looked at the [Friends] and [Shop] sections, so there's not much to see in the [Guilds] section right now.

Similar to game guilds, it requires the "guild leader" to spend 100 copper coins to create one, and then a large amount of materials must be consumed to build the guild's base.

However, the biggest benefit is that guild members can gather together, which is undoubtedly a welcome relief for the isolated survivors!

No guilds have been established yet.

Excluding luck factors like treasure chests, you need to be in the top ten of all three lists to get ninety copper coins.

To be fair, very few people can afford a three-digit copper coin right now.

Besides Lingxiao, there's probably only [August 1st Kitchen Knife].

"Building a team... let's talk about that later. Anyway, I don't like or am not suited to managing other people. If all else fails, I can just find someone reliable to fill in..."

Most people are social animals, and even if they don't like crowds, they definitely don't want to survive and adventure alone in this strange world.

Of course, big shots have the right to be capricious.

Once you're strong enough, you might be able to roam freely even through this fog!

Return to the [Shop].

Save when you should save, spend when you should spend.

After deducting the fifty copper coins spent on the [Flame Fist], Ling Xiao can still make some purchases.

Congratulations on obtaining: Random Skill Scroll [Inferior Quality] *1

"Activate!"

A gray scroll slowly unfurled, revealing the words, which gradually became clear and legible.

【Tidal Breathing Method】

Quality: Inferior

[Conditions: Constitution level 3; automatically maintained after activation, automatically deactivated upon loss of consciousness]

[Special Effect: Accelerates stamina recovery and injury healing]

[Comment: Repeat the cycle of deep, slow breaths! My grandfather learned this trick and lived to be ninety-nine!]

No temporary markers.

What I got was a permanent skill!

"I don't know if I made a profit, but I definitely won't lose money!"

Ling Xiao, beaming with delight, couldn't help but clench his fist and shake it.

If the [Tidal Breathing Technique] requires a "fixed fee" of fifty copper coins like the [Flame Fist], then the actual expenditure is equivalent to spending one hundred copper coins to permanently obtain this skill.

Not to mention, these two effects are undoubtedly a godsend for him right now!

call--

After a few breaths, Ling Xiao could vaguely feel a sense of fulfillment, as if his already good condition bar had gained an extra segment.

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Brother Xiao! Thank you!'"

Ling Xiao: "Hey! A little reciprocity goes a long way. My information isn't worth much anyway!"

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'You can't say that. Saving me even a copper coin is a favor! By the way, did you buy anything?'"

Ling Xiao: "I was lucky enough to get a fairly useful skill."

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Envious, haha! I have no choice but to get a weapon first. I lost my machete somewhere during the fight with a group of Soul Badgers. If I hadn't escaped back to the campfire in time, Brother Xiao's ranking might have gone up.'"

Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised: "Soul Badger? Are level 2 monsters this fierce? Even Brother Cleaver couldn't defeat them?"

"【81 Kitchen Knife】: 'Back then, I had just reached LV3 and was inevitably a bit arrogant. I encountered a lone Soul Badger and wanted to chase after it and kill it, but who knew I would end up following it all the way into its den!'"

"This thing is incredibly cunning! If it can't beat you, it'll just run away like a coward, never turning back to fight back no matter how much you attack. But once it finds a large group, it immediately turns on you and starts attacking like crazy! It's so annoying! I almost didn't make it back!"

From the top-ranked user's complaints, Ling Xiao also gained invaluable information.

The eerie creatures lurking in the mist are not only ferocious, but they're also damn good at tactics!

They're not mindless AI NPCs!

The conversation ended quickly, as time was precious, and both of them tactfully brought up the topic.

Ling Xiao didn't ask what weapon the cleaver guy had concocted, and the other party similarly ignored his skills.

Dealing with normal people is so comfortable...

The latest novel is first published here!

【81 Kitchen Knife】It sounds terrible, but the LV3 (76%) experience bar shows that the opponent still managed to kill several Soul Badgers after encountering them.

Fighting a group of level 2 monsters with only a level 3 strength, and with the level difference not being significant but the number difference being fatal, after killing a few of them, I fled back in a sorry state. How could that be considered a shameful experience?

That's absolutely awesome!

Ling Xiao knew for sure that he couldn't do it.

Brother Cleaver is absolutely ruthless among ruthless people, plus he has a top-tier innate talent. He's at level three and already has the potential to become an emperor!

Others in the channel, who were extremely curious, also learned the news from some explorers.

The comments currently circulating are a chaotic mix of good and bad, a veritable free-for-all!

Many people started calling on their friends and acquaintances because the guilds allowed survivors to meet, and the psychological comfort they received was incredibly tempting.

"Does anyone have 100 copper coins? How about we start a guild? My talent is Buff Orb; taking me along will definitely boost your combat power!"

"Looking for a big shot to take me in. I'm beautiful, have a sweet voice, am 172cm tall, and have long legs with a 36D bust. As long as I can..."

"Me too! I'm 188cm tall, a dark-skinned, white-socked PE student, I can switch between cute and fierce looks, the choice is yours..."

"You son of a bitch! You're really something else!"

……

Most of them were just joking around, but when it came to life and death, quite a few people actually used their brains to analyze the situation.

"One hundred ominous copper coins! How long would it take to accumulate that many by killing monsters? Right now, the only way to get that many is probably through leaderboard rewards, and you'd have to be in the top ten on all three leaderboards..."

"I checked, only the two big shots, [Bayi Cleaver] and [Xiao], are guaranteed at least 90. My god! Those two are really ruthless!"

"Oh right! I remember this [Owl], he spoke in the channel before, I think he was reminding someone."

"@Owl, are you there? Are you there, big shot? Please, have some mercy and create a guild, help us out! This gray fog is truly terrifying!"

"Tch! Calling him so affectionately, maybe if you just called him 'Dad,' he'd show himself! He's been lurking all this time, clearly not wanting to spend his copper coins on this. He'd be better off finding a way to earn some himself instead of begging..."

"You're not even Level 0 yet? What are you trying to prove, sticking a scallion in your nose like a pig?"

"You idiot, you son of a bitch!"

……

The channel was filled with heated arguments and a chaotic battle.

Ling Xiao, the "instigator," watched for a while in silence before turning it off.

No matter where you are, people are still so easily swayed by trends.

Especially when one lacks confidence, the subconscious desire for self-preservation can easily lead to aggression that fills the void in one's heart.

"We've wasted enough time. Ultimately, it all comes down to level; we still need to explore!"

This time, nothing new prevented him from going out.

The gray fog dissipated, filling the gap left by the broken torch.

Ling Xiao, who ranked in the top three of the three lists, sets off once again!
