Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Chapter 379 Inheriting Everything from Me

"You'll go blind after just a few seconds?"

Suddenly, Chen Xi remembered what the alien had said: every second spent learning about the legend of the Dragon God was at risk of death!

In other words, Yan Mingliang was just learning about the legend of the Dragon God!

But precisely because he couldn't understand it, his understanding was extremely superficial, so he didn't die, he just went blind.

Chen Xi quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"Yan Mingliang, open your eyes so I can take a look."

Yan Mingliang knew what Chen Xi wanted to do, but he still did it anyway.

After reading it, Chen Xi seemed to have gained some confidence, and boldly said, "Wait a moment."

A few seconds later, Yan Mingliang found that his originally dark vision gradually became cloudy, then gradually cleared, until he could see the light again.

Chen Xi stood before him, holding a sickle.

"A bumper harvest?"

Yan Mingliang quickly guessed what it was.

"Yes, I just looked into your eyes. There was no physical damage, so I guessed it was some kind of curse. So I used the power of [Harvest] to harvest this curse."

After saying that, Chen Xi looked at Yan Mingliang's missing left arm with some regret, "Unfortunately, I can't restore your arm."

Yan Mingliang suffered this injury partly because of Chen Xi, so he couldn't help feeling somewhat guilty.

"It's alright," Yan Mingliang said magnanimously. "I believe there must be a way to restore my arm inside the Black Tower. Even if there isn't, it's not a big deal. We can just start over!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi gave a thumbs up: "Ruthless!"

With Yan Mingliang as a cautionary tale, Yang Wei and the author, who arrived later, naturally wouldn't look at that blinding thing.

Chen Xi didn't dare to act rashly, so he asked Flash Ancestor to take a look. As a Tier III extraordinary trait, he could bear the curse himself.

But soon, Chen Xi noticed something was wrong.

Flashlight could not see what Yan Mingliang was talking about; in its eyes, there were no strange characters written on them.

Combining this with the previous mention of the River Styx, Chen Xi immediately realized that this thing probably required a real living being to see it.

Or rather, it can only be seen by beings in the River Styx.

The Flash Ancestor seems to be judged as a trick here, so it's not surprising that it can't be used normally, just like it was in the River Styx before.

"You all step back a bit, I'll give it a try."

After careful consideration, Chen Xi made a decision.

Everyone wanted to stop her, but Chen Xi revealed the [Harvest] card first and gave everyone a reassuring look.

"You all step back a bit."

Chen Xi said in a deep voice.

Although they knew about the curse, they were still not careless. Yan Mingliang went blind after only looking at it for a few seconds. Who knows what would happen if they continued to look?

Ta-da-ta-da...

Taking a few steps forward, Chen Xi looked at the strange characters.

Sure enough, the text was exactly the same as the text in the Dragon Palace, and at that moment Chen Xi was certain that he could understand it.

I don't know why the inscriptions on the walls of the Dragon Palace don't contain curses, but those here do.

But none of that matters right now.

After only one glance, Chen Xi immediately looked away.

This was Chen Xi's most foolproof plan. He planned to take a look, and then use the ability of hyperthymesia to not forget to repeatedly watch and interpret it in his mind.

I intend to learn about the so-called legend of the Dragon God in this way.

But these little schemes seem to be completely useless here; the images of words that had just entered my mind vanished in the blink of an eye.

delete!?

Chen Xi was shocked by this scene.

Even Lu Xitong, the "stand-in," only blurred his own image, but these words were as if they had been erased by an eraser, and he couldn't remember what they were originally.

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Chen Xi, who suffers from hyperthymesia.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Seeing that Chen Xi's expression was somewhat unsettled, Yang Wei quickly asked.

"It's nothing." Chen Xi shook her head, offering no explanation.

If tricks don't work, then we'll have to do it the hard way!

There's always a way to overcome difficulties, and Chen Xi quickly made up his mind.

His gaze, like sunlight shining through a magnifying glass, was focused on those strange characters.

Three seconds later, Chen Xi noticed something.

That means the wall text we saw in the Dragon Palace before was probably the so-called "cracked version," while this one is likely the original!

It's impossible to read it like normal text, reading ten lines at a glance; you have to decipher it word by word.

It took Chen Xi ten seconds to decipher the first character, which was "I".

At this moment, his vision began to blur, even becoming somewhat cloudy.

Although he had never experienced blurred vision due to old age, Chen Xi felt that this must be what blurred vision felt like.

Clearly, Chen Xi was much stronger than Yan Mingliang; he not only lasted longer but also didn't go blind.

However, visibility has indeed been affected, and this effect will inevitably accumulate over time, eventually turning into some form of physical damage.

At this moment, Chen Xi truly understood why the aliens said that every second of the process of learning about the Dragon God Legend could result in death!

This is actually calculated in seconds!

Fortunately, there are some things that can be restrained!

Without saying a word, Chen Xi swung the sickle in his hand, and his vision, which was blurry a second ago, became clear the next second.

The Dragon God's curse of blindness was once again reaped by Chen Xi's [Harvest].

When Chen Xi recovered and intended to continue learning about the text, he suddenly realized that he couldn't understand the very first character again!

......

Dragon Palace.

"Click."

Li Cong placed the dragon tooth in his hand into the groove of the coffin.

"I never imagined I, Li Cong, would have such a fortunate opportunity!"

"Those two idiots who submitted forbidden items before me have already benefited me; they're probably still searching for the dragon tooth I have!"

"Zhou Xiaogu, just you wait! Even if you're a third-order cultivator, I can still kill you!"

After a sound similar to a system startup activation, an ancient, slumbering, and domineering voice emanated from within the coffin:

"You did a great job, young man!"

"From now on, you will inherit everything from me."

Upon hearing this, Li Cong's face broke into an uncontrollable smile: "Indeed, I am the chosen one of this world!"

"Doctors are immortal beings!"
