38: Terao Yuina

Lin Chuan had already guessed a lot about being encircled.

After all, he had experienced it in his previous life!

In his previous life, anyone who topped the level ranking had experienced encirclement and pursuit!

After all, the number one on the level ranking was a top-tier Boss with a chance to drop a golden treasure chest!

And other powerhouses on the level ranking didn't have peaceful lives either.

Lin Chuan lived a very tiring life in his previous life, and other powerhouses were equally tired.

Or rather, in the Killing Game, no one could live an easy life.

However, in this life, Lin Chuan’s mindset was much better.

After entrusting Aiya with the task of checking the forum posts, he enthusiastically claimed his level ranking reward!

A green crystal was immediately bound on the spot, essentially giving him an extra life.

From the purple treasure chest, he got a palm-sized pet egg.

Pet eggs were very precious, but also very troublesome.

Because to hatch a pet egg, one first needed to find a Beast Tamer for appraisal, and then collect precious natural treasures.

Afterward, following the Beast Tamer's guidance, one would carefully hatch it with natural treasures, spending anywhere from seven or eight hours to seven or eight days to finally nurture a small pet!

Even then, there was still a ten percent chance of failure!

According to this process, one would have to wait until after level ten, when someone specialized as a Beast Tamer, to hatch a pet egg.

But Lin Chuan didn't have that patience, and deep down, he was a bit of a spendthrift.

He simply tossed the pet egg to Aiya.

Aiya looked bewildered: “Huh? What’s this?”

“An egg for you to hatch.”

“Me? Hatch an egg???” Aiya had a puzzled expression.

“Hatch it with blood, or if you’re feeling extravagant, with a Crystal Nucleus,” Lin Chuan said very casually.

Aiya was speechless.

A Crystal Nucleus? Did she have a Crystal Nucleus?

She had seen that this egg came from a purple treasure chest!

An item from a purple treasure chest!

What if she messed it up during hatching…

Whose fault would that be?

But she dared not refuse Lin Chuan’s request.

So she cut open her left palm again, skillfully drawing blood, just as she had done when cultivating the Blood Gu insect.

After placing the pet egg on her left palm, she was surprised to find that the pet egg really did absorb blood.

It should successfully hatch a small pet, right?

Aiya thought naively.

Lin Chuan then looked at the third reward, a Summoner’s specialization scroll.

After casually putting it away, he opened the blue treasure chest.

What came out of the blue treasure chest was a card.

But the card didn't have a coffin on it; instead, it had a magic array.

Lin Chuan looked at this card, his face showing more joy than when he obtained the Destiny System C-Class skill!

This was a one-time area transfer card!

It could instantly teleport a person to a designated area!

This item wasn't actually rare or precious, but for Lin Chuan at the moment, it had a wonderful use!

One could say that this area transfer card was Lin Chuan's biggest surprise since his rebirth!

In his previous life, after Lin Chuan became powerful, he also obtained area cards.

The first area card he used was to return to his hometown, Hai City.

He wanted to ask his uncle about the perpetrator of his father's car accident.

But by the time he returned to Hai City, his uncle's family had long since died, with not even their bodies remaining!

Afterward, Lin Chuan stayed in Hai City for a period, trying to uncover the perpetrator of his father's car accident.

However, too many people died in the apocalypse, and he had too little information, ultimately only knowing that the perpetrator seemed to be a wealthy second-generation rich kid.

Lin Chuan almost killed all the rich second-generation kids in Hai City, but he still never knew if he had avenged his father.

But in this life, he obtained the area transfer card earlier than in his previous life!

At this point in time, his uncle's family might still be alive!

Without further ado, Lin Chuan immediately wanted to set off!

He handed the rewarded speed attribute fruit to Aiya, “This is for you too. Put it on the trading market, exchange it for a physique fruit, and then use it yourself.”

Aiya’s Talent required long-term bloodletting, and too low a physique attribute would have side effects.

Aiya didn't understand, but she was obedient: “Okay.”

Then Lin Chuan stood up and said, “I have something to do; I need to leave.”

“Leave? Aren’t you taking me with you?” Aiya suddenly panicked a little, subconsciously grabbing Lin Chuan’s sleeve.

“There’s only one item for teleportation,” Lin Chuan explained concisely.

“Then when will you be back?”

“Uncertain.” Lin Chuan waved at the dark Cai Zhiji, introducing him to Aiya, “While I’m away, this little dark one will protect you. Also, you’ve added me as a friend, so you can private message me if anything comes up.”

“Then the trades you assigned me to…,” Aiya glanced at the forum, “So far, I’ve summarized a few potentially useful items.”

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, tell me.”

“First, those exchanged for secret realm entry tickets, there are six people.”

Aiya listed the names of the six secret realm entry tickets one by one, and just as she was about to introduce the characteristics of the six secret realms, she heard Lin Chuan’s decisive voice:

“For the six entry tickets, only exchange for Great Strife Secret Realm entry tickets; ignore all others.”

“Oh, okay.” Aiya noted it down, then continued to talk about some other items.

After listening, Lin Chuan directly asked, “What’s the name of the person who posted about the ‘Death Gods Mask Experience Card’?”

Aiya quickly checked: “It’s a foreign player on the slaughter chart named Bernard.”

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “I want this item, but its value isn’t enough to exchange for a Level 3 Crystal Nucleus. Tell the other party to add something more.”

“Oh, okay.” Aiya quickly noted it down, then continued, “Finally, there are some special trades, two in total.”

“One is a post by Terao Yuina. She said her Talent is S-Class and she can sacrifice lifespan for important information. She wants to exchange some important information for a Level 3 Crystal Nucleus.”

Terao Yuina currently has very high popularity.

Firstly, she ranks 5th on the level ranking and 9th on the slaughter chart!

Secondly, the strategy posts she published on the forum have greatly benefited all players worldwide!

She should be considered the only player on the slaughter chart with a good reputation.

And her Talent is indeed S-Class!

Moreover, it’s an S-Class Talent of the Destiny System!

Lin Chuan had plundered many S-Class Talents in his previous life!

Some Talents even evolved to SS-Class!

But among all Talents, aside from the bug-level Fireball, the most powerful was undoubtedly the S-Class Talent — Fate Abyss — plundered from Terao Yuina!

Most Talents of the Destiny System possess an almost unsolvable power!

The S-Class Fate Abyss was even terrifyingly powerful!

Even Lin Chuan, unless he evolved his Forbidden Magic Domain to SS-Class, or possessed an SS-Class Forbidden Magic item or Destiny System item.

Otherwise, against Terao Yuina, he had no chance of winning.

There was no way around it; the Destiny System was simply too unreasonable!

No matter how high your attributes, no matter how strong your Talent, in the face of destiny, you were all just ants!

In this life, Lin Chuan would probably still have to do the same as in his previous life.

Wait for Terao Yuina to court her own death, and then he would help collect her corpse.

As for Terao Yuina wanting to exchange information for a Level 3 Crystal Nucleus, Lin Chuan couldn't be bothered to care.

Information?

Would he, having been reborn, lack information?

Seeing Lin Chuan shake his head, Aiya continued, “The second special trade is a post from a player named Su Hai.”
