140: Chapter 140 Everyone's Harvest

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised. As he took the Flower Cotton Jacket and the Copper Mirror, he indeed received prompts from the System.

...

[Name: Li Guifen's Flower Cotton Jacket]

Description: This is Li Guifen's Flower Cotton Jacket. It carries the past of her youth and preserves the Buddha's most precious memories. Please cherish it.

Function: Wearing this garment increases your stamina by 2, agility by 3, and spirit by 1.

Note: This item is effective up to Level 5 and is restricted to female wearers.]

...

[Name: Li Guifen's Copper Mirror]

Description: This is Li Guifen's Copper Mirror. It once reflected her youthful countenance and recorded traces that time could not erase. It contains a special power.

Function: Shining this Copper Mirror can force C-rank and below Specters back into human form and immobilize them for 3 to 5 seconds.

Note: This item is limited to 1 use per day.]

...

Chu Xuan's eyes showed wonder; he just wanted to say that Li Guifen was truly amazing!

Although these two items weren't of much use to him, they were incredibly precious treasures for ordinary people.

He couldn't help but look at the elderly woman sitting by the campfire with the other survivors.

[Your spirituality value -1]

[Current spirituality value: 769]

As the spirituality value was deducted, the numbers on the black-rimmed glasses on Chu Xuan's nose bridge flickered, detecting the other's basic attributes.

[stamina: 3]

[Strength: 2]

[agility: 2]

[spirit: 2]

[Charm: 4]

Every value was pitifully low, far inferior to even an ordinary person.

Yet this Old Woman could not only make porridge that restored health points and personal status, but even the Flower Cotton Jacket and Copper Mirror she had used were so miraculous.

Could she have also awakened some kind of talent?

"It seems this jacket and mirror didn't have these abilities before. Perhaps it's because of the Great Buddha..."

Chu Xuan was thoughtful as he looked at the sliver of white light rising on the horizon, feeling a sense of realization.

Humans found it easier to obtain Transcendent Skills in the Place of Gloomy Convergence, and these special items were likely the same.

Chu Xuan didn't dwell on it; this was likely a derivative of the collision of rules...

Seeing Wang Ruozi's expression as if she were presenting a treasure, Chu Xuan said casually, "I have no use for these things. How do you plan to handle them?"

"No use for them?"

Wang Ruozi was slightly disappointed. Then, suddenly remembering something, she hurried back to the campfire and said something to the Old Woman, Li Guifen, seemingly wanting to return the jacket and mirror to her.

After a moment, she ran back, her face beaming with joy. "Grandma Li said she's giving them to us!"

"Then keep them for yourself." Chu Xuan nodded slightly. Whether in the dream or in reality, she had contributed. While these items had some value, since he couldn't use them, there was no need to claim them for himself.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan."

"By the way, you can see item details—have you bound a System?" Chu Xuan asked.

"System?"

Wang Ruozi was briefly stunned, then shook her head. "I don't see a System. I just feel like my physical attributes have suddenly strengthened a lot, and I see two lines of strange small text in front of my eyes... The first line is spirituality value: 60; the second line is [Transcendent Skill: Ethereal LV.1]."

"Ethereal? Is there anything special about it?" Chu Xuan asked again.

"I can consciously control my body to become more light and agile. Let me try..."

Wang Ruozi suddenly leaped, spun a few times in place, and then completed a front flip. Her movements were elegant, and at the peak of the jump, she seemed to have a slight sense of hovering, making it even more pleasing to the eye than a professional athlete in a sports competition.

"Not bad. Combined with the Flower Cotton Jacket, your escape capabilities will be much stronger. After experiencing a few more Specter incidents, you should be able to bind an exclusive System. Then you can actively assign points using your spirituality value." Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

"Ah? I have to go through several more incidents like this?" Wang Ruozi's face turned pale instantly.

Just then, a wild laugh rang out: "I've struck it rich! Struck it rich! I have superpowers!"

Qin Shaowu leaped up, turning into an afterimage as he appeared before Chu Xuan accompanied by a gust of wind. His face was slightly pale, but his expression held excitement he couldn't hide.

"Brother Xuan, I have superpowers! Gale! I can use the wind to increase my speed, hahaha!"

Qin Shaowu's face was full of ecstasy as he bowed deeply to Chu Xuan.

"If you don't mind, I, Shaowu, am willing to take you as my godfather, just so you'll take me along a few more times! I heard you and Brother Zheng have both bound Systems. I want one too! If it happens, I'll even give you my ass..."

"Get up already!" Chu Xuan felt a wave of embarrassment and quickly went over to kick him up.

Tang Zheng also walked over with a frown.

Chu Xuan's heart sank slightly. "What's wrong with you now?"

Tang Zheng sighed. "I chose the Flicker sequence. The skill is Teleport."

"Isn't that pretty good?" Chu Xuan expressed his confusion. "Combined with your talent, wouldn't it be even more formidable to just teleport into an enemy's face and kill them?"

"I thought so too, but..."

Tang Zheng looked pained. "But the other choice was the Hidden One sequence. The skill was [Invisibility]! That's the superpower I've dreamed of since I was a kid!"

"Brother Zheng, you're confused!"

Qin Shaowu shouted, "What's the use of teleporting? Invisibility is the king! As long as you turn on invisibility, no matter what bad things you do, no one can find out. And... hehehe!"

At the end, Qin Shaowu gave a wicked laugh, while Tang Zheng's expression became even more pained.

"If it's just invisibility, there are too many ways to counter it, like infrared detection or throwing powder in advance... and for Transcendents, there should be other, easier ways to counter it."

Chu Xuan mused, "In my personal opinion, teleportation is more proactive and powerful. As for the nonsense you guys are thinking about... I'll send you 2.5T of cloud drive resources later. Study those more, and you won't think about that stuff anymore."

Tang Zheng and Qin Shaowu's eyes both lit up.

Wang Ruozi was somewhat confused, looking back and forth between them, not knowing what they were talking about.

As they spoke, the red sun rose, and the sky grew bright.

The scenery at the foot of the mountain changed rapidly. The original dilapidated old mountain village now transformed back into a modern township, with rows of villas.

And the mountain path they were on abruptly turned into a clean road about six meters wide, paved with a layer of asphalt.

Only the remains of a campfire were left, still sending up wisps of smoke.

Realizing they could finally leave this place, the many survivors all showed expressions of joy.

Especially seeing the law enforcement vehicles with flashing red and blue lights at the foot of the mountain in the distance, with a cordon completely isolating the village, the people felt even more reassured. They all quickened their pace, walking rapidly toward the bottom.

The mountain wasn't large, and they were already near the base, so they soon encountered the many vehicles driving toward them.

At this moment, everyone was finally certain they were saved and that no more trouble would arise. They all raised their hands and cheered, their eyes filling with tears of joy.

However, to everyone's surprise, what greeted them was not the enthusiastic passion of rescue personnel, but various vehicles surrounding them amidst the screeching of brakes, and countless cold, dark gun barrels.

"Everyone, hands behind your heads and get down!"
