107: Chapter 107 Transitional Chapter of the Long Sleeping Palace

"Ding, congratulations to the player for clearing the game instance 'Underground Palace of Eternal Sleep', please check your rewards."

Luo Yuejian stood in the Star Sea Space, surrounded by starry skies, and listening to the voice in her mind, she tapped the bracelet on her wrist to check her gains from this run.

Player: Luo Yuejian

Fan count: 817493

Items: Infinite Card, matchbox, poop-flavored chocolate, embroidery needle

"Tsk..."

Luo Yuejian: ?

The slacker system said gloomily: "You won again, Host, your fans must be overjoyed~"

Luo Yuejian: ...

Oh? Is it the post-game trash talk segment again? Interesting.

Luo Yuejian stayed silent, pretending not to hear, and didn't give the system a chance to keep outputting.

She took out the new item rewarded from this game and took a look.

embroidery needle: Yes, this is an embroidery needle.

Luo Yuejian: ?

No, is it her imagination, or does she feel that the items these past few times have been increasingly useless...?

But this is actually quite good, haha, Luo Yuejian smiled with satisfaction in her heart; the more useless the items, the better. If they were truly useful items, she would have to worry about whether they would affect her mission.

After this game ended, her fan count reached eight hundred thousand directly, which made Luo Yuejian feel it was very incredible.

It seems the Interstellar audience really loves her style of 'noob escape'.

Perhaps other players are all quite powerful, and they have seen too much and gotten tired of it.

As a result, seeing someone like her who is obviously terrible yet manages to escape death every time, they were immediately captivated.

This is actually quite embarrassing, haha.

Luo Yuejian looked at her skyrocketing fan count and calculated in her heart: in the last game, she only had over three hundred thousand fans, and this game it actually reached eight hundred thousand directly. If she can win the next game, her fan count should exceed one million.

Calculating this way, why does it feel like she is getting closer and closer to successfully clearing the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game?

Following this trend, plus her heaven-defying luck, as long as she can keep winning, on average, if she gains three hundred thousand fans for every game she wins, perhaps she could try to revive just by clearing the games without relying on the slacker system!

Luo Yuejian became excited all of a sudden. Does this mean she doesn't have to rack her brains to cause trouble and lose the game in every regular game, and as long as she plays the game seriously, she can naturally revive?

By then, according to the rules of the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, she can take the huge wealth tipped to her by Interstellar netizens, return to Earth to revive, and then happily enjoy life!

Although she doesn't know the exchange rate between Interstellar audience tips and Earth currency, it must definitely not be a small number.

Once Luo Yuejian thought of this, her eyes immediately started to glow. Damn, why bother slacking off? How could the pie the system draws be as fragrant as the real money given by Miracle Company!

"Host, there is one thing I must tell you."

The slacker system's voice suddenly pulled Luo Yuejian back to reality from her fantasies. This damn system never said anything human, and Luo Yuejian immediately became alert: "... Can I choose not to listen?"

"Haha, Host, you really know how to joke."

Confirmed, it is definitely not good news.

Luo Yuejian sneered in her heart, thinking about what kind of nonsense the system could spout next.

Anyway, she has made up her mind to take the next games seriously. It's fine if it's tiring; it's better than being played by this damn system every day.

She said coldly: "Speak."

The slacker system didn't mind Luo Yuejian's attitude at all: "It's like this, Host, because you are about to fail five consecutive games, a special penalty mechanism will be activated."

Luo Yuejian: ...?

"What special penalty mechanism?? Why didn't you say anything before?" Luo Yuejian immediately questioned unhappily.

The system said calmly: "That's because I didn't think you, Host, would be able to fail so many games at the time."

The slacker system sighed: "Actually, the tasks released by the system are very easy to complete. You only need to die in the game or fail the game, and you can be directly revived. This is already very simple. This system's original setting was a welfare system. I originally thought I would be able to help the Host revive very quickly, but I didn't expect..."

It sighed again: "At that time, I was also afraid that if you knew a special penalty mechanism would be activated after failing five games, you would be under too much pressure, which would be counterproductive to completing the task, so I didn't tell you. Who could have thought..."

This speech made Luo Yuejian feel a bit guilty, but this wasn't her fault! She dared to swear that she had been seriously slacking off in every game. Who knew why she always ended up winning by some strange turn of events? She was also very confused, okay!

But it is true that she had lost so many games. In a situation of constant losing, Luo Yuejian really didn't have much confidence, so she had to reluctantly accept this special penalty mechanism and asked: "So what is the special penalty?"

Anyway, the penalties given by the system are usually some skills or something, and the special penalty is probably just a more awesome skill.

However, Luo Yuejian has now made up her mind to play the game seriously and win the game by directly gaining ten million fans. Then the penalty rewards given by the system are naturally the more the better.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Yuejian thought to herself that this special penalty mechanism of the system doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

The slacker system said: "If you fail the system task five consecutive times, the system will deduct ninety percent of the earnings you obtained in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game."

Luo Yuejian: ???

Ninety percent???

"... I think I had auditory hallucinations just now, say it again? Ninety percent?"

The slacker system said calmly: "Ninety percent."

"Are you fucking crazy from poverty?"

"Ninety percent, why don't you just go rob someone?!" Luo Yuejian simply couldn't believe her ears.

Damn, ninety percent, this stupid system is even more black-hearted than that so-called Miracle Company!

The system replied very naturally: "I am robbing, to begin with."

Luo Yuejian: "...? Damn, you're not even pretending anymore, right?"

The slacker system: "Sorry Host, there was a problem with the code just now, that was not the system's true thought."

"It's like this, Host, do not always think of the money in the Miracle Company account as your own money. That is all bait from Miracle Company; the people who can truly obtain the rewards are few and far between. But this system's promise is absolutely genuine. As long as you can die in the game, or fail the game, the system will immediately help the Host revive."

"And, because the system did not tell the Host about the special penalty mechanism in advance, the system has decided to activate a special reward mechanism: as long as the Host completes the system task, this system will not only help you revive in the Real World, but also help you withdraw all your earnings in the Miracle Company account for you."

Luo Yuejian was shocked: "Won't you be discovered if you withdraw Miracle Company's money like this at will?"

How is this Miracle Company account like the system's private treasury, able to be taken just like that??

The slacker system was very confident: "Please rest assured, Host, the system has rich experience and will definitely not be discovered."

Luo Yuejian: ...

Is there any way to report this damn system?

Luo Yuejian had no way either. She couldn't possibly persuade the system to cancel that shitty special penalty mechanism, right? She could already guess what the system would say then—

Oh my, Host, I'm sorry, this is a fixed program that the system established long ago and cannot be changed~

Hehe, Luo Yuejian rolled her eyes in her heart.

With this special penalty mechanism in place, Luo Yuejian felt that she still had to complete the system task. Otherwise, who knows what else this special penalty mechanism of the system could penalize if she successfully survived the tenth game?

By then, before she even revived, she would have already become a miserable person with tens of billions in debt.

Then she might as well die early and be reborn!

Luo Yuejian kept a cold face, "Fine..."

"Okay Host, since you have accepted the special penalty mechanism, let's talk about your skill penalty for this game." The slacker system said.

Luo Yuejian: ?

"Isn't there already a special penalty mechanism?"

"Yes Host. The special penalty mechanism and the regular penalty mechanism do not conflict."

Luo Yuejian: ...

She endured it!

"Speak."

The slacker system's cold voice rang out: "Congratulations to the Host for obtaining—10-Minute Minor Strength Boost (passive)."

Minor Strength Boost?

She didn't know if she had been PUA'd by the system for too long, but Luo Yuejian actually felt that this skill seemed quite good. At least it was only a minor boost, and it was also time-limited to ten minutes.

She asked the system: "How minor is this minor boost?"

"Not big, it's just a very small boost in strength, rest assured Host." The system said.

Luo Yuejian: Why don't I believe that...?

She looked at her hands suspiciously. No matter how she thought about it, she felt the system was screwing her over again. A bad premonition welled up in her heart. Damn, this minor strength boost, it wouldn't refer to the same kind of 'minor' as Ultraman, right?

The kind that can destroy a building with one punch??

Although it might sound ridiculous to say it like this, if it's the system... Luo Yuejian thought to herself that this bastard really might do it.

No, she still had to try, otherwise if she entered the game and found out she had become a Super Saiyan, she would be screwed.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian gritted her teeth and walked to the door in the space.

After preparing herself mentally for an hour, Luo Yuejian pulled the door open and walked out.

The world behind the door looked like a small miniature city, with an exquisitely laid-out city scene.

The streets were narrow but well-planned, and the architectural styles on both sides were diverse, with simple modern apartments and retro European-style small buildings. Between the buildings, small gardens were dotted, with greenery arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, and various small flowers blooming quietly, creating a fresh and pleasant atmosphere.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the road, dressed in very modern attire, and everyone looked hurried. Occasionally, a half-open door would suddenly appear in the air, revealing the Star Sea inside. Finally, people with curious or serious expressions would walk out from inside.

The players walking on the street seemed to be accustomed to it, and not many people paid attention to these people who appeared suddenly.

However, whenever a player with a novel expression appeared, constantly looking around, a few players would go up to them, seemingly communicating something. After a while, that player would most likely leave with one of them.

But for some reason, no one came to find Luo Yuejian. Luo Yuejian actually felt quite fortunate about this in her heart. If someone really came to find her, she would definitely feel uncomfortable all over.

Luo Yuejian walked cautiously on the street. Compared to the scene she saw when she opened the door last time, there were much fewer people outside the door this time, which made Luo Yuejian feel more at ease.

Her goal was just to test her current strength, so she didn't observe the surrounding buildings, preparing to find a heavy object to lift to see the situation.

However, moving things on the main street was still a bit too challenging for her sense of shame. Luo Yuejian walked along the side of the road, and after a while, she finally found a quiet alley. No one would have nothing better to do than to turn into the alley, so there was no one here.

There was a half-person-high tin trash can in the alley, which didn't have any trash inside. However, the weight of this kind of trash can itself was already not light. Luo Yuejian observed the surroundings cautiously again, and after confirming that there was really no one there, she tried to lift the trash can.

Previously, it should have been a bit difficult for her to lift this trash can, but now, the trash can was lifted up easily.

Luo Yuejian could feel that her strength had indeed increased, but it was actually just as the system said, only a minor increase.

"Look Host, I didn't lie to you." The slacker system sighed: "You always don't believe me, but the system is indeed committed to helping you complete your wish to revive."

"The skill given to you this time could have directly given you a significant strength boost, but I used my own authority to change the significant strength boost into a minor strength boost. And it also only has a ten-minute time limit. It's just because I'm afraid you won't be able to complete the task and won't be able to revive!"

The system's words contained emotion, which made Luo Yuejian almost believe it. But this guy acted like a jerk too many times, and Luo Yuejian wasn't sure if what it said was true.

However, this penalty skill was indeed not excessive, and it was much better than that Agility Instinct.

However, Luo Yuejian still had one question: "When will this passive be triggered? Why could I trigger this passive skill just now by lifting a trash can outside casually?"

The slacker system explained: "It's like this, Host, 10-Minute Minor Strength Boost (passive) is actually what it's called in the game. Outside the game, this skill has no restrictions; it is simply a minor strength boost. So outside the game, your strength can remain consistent at all times."

Luo Yuejian nodded. She didn't really care about this; after all, it was outside the game, and it wouldn't affect her slacking off.

"Then what kind of passive is it? When will this skill be triggered?"

The slacker system: "That would have to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis."

Luo Yuejian: ...

It seems this damn system doesn't intend to explain it to her. Luo Yuejian sneered in her heart, knowing that this is probably another trap.

However, the trap of this skill given by the system this time is relatively small, much better than the previous Agility Instinct, and barely acceptable.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian cooperated with the slacker system and said: "I know, our goals are the same! Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to slack off and will never let down your expectations!"

After confirming her current strength, Luo Yuejian immediately decided to return to the Star Sea Space.

But, how to go back...?

Luo Yuejian was troubled for a moment, stood in place and thought for a moment, then opened the black bracelet on her wrist. After studying it for a while, she indeed found the "Return" button on the bracelet.

Pressing the button, a door appeared in front of her instantly. Luo Yuejian opened the door and returned to that silent Star Sea.

...

Moonlight poured into the luxurious Gothic Villa. It was like a dark fairy tale palace, with every decoration showing exquisite detail. In the living room, gorgeous oil paintings hung on the walls, with vivid patterns that seemed to want to jump out. The smooth marble floor shone with luster. The carved round table was filled with a dazzling array of refreshments, bone china teacups painted with flowers, macarons, cookies, and fruit tarts, small and tempting.

The shelves all around were full of exquisite and cute dolls, dressed in gorgeous Gothic-style dresses, including puffy skirts and court gowns. Their glass eyes were hollow and deep, hiding countless secrets. Vines wound around the walls, roses wafted fragrance, and soft music flowed...

A little girl wearing a retro Gothic dress sat on an exquisite chair, with her back to the camera. Her toes tapped gently on the ground, and her childish voice hummed a strange but moving tune...
