Chapter 269 Naturally Born Props

Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Naturally Born Props

Yan Jiayu also brought out the props of that female player, "I got three items, a Little Knife that can’t touch the target, a Magnifying Glass that can see any object whose traces have been erased by invisibility potions or hidden by special items, and a Protective Shield."

"Of the three items, the most useful is this Protective Shield, which can split into up to ten shields when attacked, and its effect lasts for three minutes."

Xu Huo nodded and took out the items he had obtained.

First was the "Non-Knotting Thread" of the player who controlled threads; even if tangled into a lump, one could easily pull it straight without sorting it out simply by holding one end of the thread.

"Pot-bellied Bottle," a palm-sized flat glass container that can hold three cubic liters of liquid.

"Bread Clip," a duckbilled clip as long as a hand, used to keep food fresh. As long as it clips the seal, any food can be kept from spoiling for more than a week.

"Sharp Dinner Knife," a cutting tool that can slice through any hard-to-cut food.

Next were the items of the Cannibal Player:

[Desert Pinwheel: Born in the Vanished Desert, which faces sandstorms at least three times a week, and having constantly consumed sand since birth, it pledged to be the existence that makes others ’eat sand.’ Just place it on the ground, and it will automatically spit out a sandstorm, the range of which changes depending on the environment. Note: Rain affects its performance.]

[Growing Spikes: A special plant item that can be used only three times a day, growing an inch with each use before quickly shriveling and becoming extremely fragile. Regular maintenance with cold water will do.]

[Note Launcher: Essential equipment for whispering in class; just clamp it between your fingers to shoot a note at anyone. As long as you Lock-on Target, it can send the note to anyone.]

"The items of these two players are pretty much the same, since one was killed by me and the other by you, let’s just not split them," Yan Jiayu said, touching her chin, "That Desert Pinwheel looks interesting."

"I heard from other players in the last instance that most items in the game come from the official game or from Artifact Makers and players, but some are born purely by chance, supposedly due to the influence of wormholes causing natural changes, just like how humans evolve, objects were also endowed with some strange characteristics," she added after a thought.

"However, I think this pinwheel might be something like a spatial rift, which is why it can spit out sandstorms."

Xu Huo spun the pinwheel and said, "It’s not surprising to see items related to space and time appear in the game. If they are naturally born, it’s all about luck whether one can find them or not."

"Exactly," Yan Jiayu said, "Just like the Super Props found by someone before, that player was too lucky, I also wish for a Super Prop."

"In the end, it was still taken by someone else," Xu Huo said calmly.

Yan Jiayu nodded with regret, "But this also shows that you don’t need to enter the game first to get good items. As players evolve, items are also continuously born, and maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to find a Super Prop!"

Xu Huo said with a smile, "Then I wish you good luck."

After a pause, he pointed to the tangled thread, bottle, and four other items on the table and said, "These items were obtained by our cooperation. Which two would you like?"

"I don’t like using thread," Yan Jiayu hesitated and then said, "Then I’ll take the Bread Clip and the Dinner Knife. I already have a similar item to the Pot-bellied Bottle."

Xu Huo took the other two items and heard her say, "I’ve found quite a few items too, it’s a pity that aside from the Demon-Subduing Pestle, I have no other handy weapons."

"Sticks are indeed not as handy as knives," Xu Huo said as he pulled out the Large Scissors he had obtained earlier in the Hundred People Art Gallery. "You’ve practiced martial arts, and your movements are agile. Try these."

Yan Jiayu’s eyes lit up at the sight of the Large Scissors and she immediately reached out to take them. "The bigger the weapon, the better. Little Knife isn’t effective."

As she spoke, she wielded the Large Scissors in the air with two snipping motions, then separated them into two blades and effortlessly performed a few techniques that generated a whooshing sound through the air. Compared to her petite figure, the two blades seemed excessively large.

Xu Huo had tried these scissors before and found them inconvenient to operate and particularly heavy; they were not practical for him. However, in the hands of this violent young lady, they complemented each other well.

After getting accustomed to them, Yan Jiayu stopped and excitedly said to him, "I’ll trade my item for these scissors!"

She promptly pulled out her items, a haphazard collection of about a dozen items spread out on the table. After laying them out, though, she seemed somewhat embarrassed, "Most of my items are not very strong in attack. If we trade, you’ll surely be at a disadvantage. If there’s nothing you want, then we can wait until I have a suitable item to offer."

Xu Huo’s gaze swept back and forth between the wooden fish and the wooden bowl. "Does your profession have something to do with monks?"

Yan Jiayu touched the wooden fish. "Yeah, my profession is a professional monk, nicknamed Abbot. My master said that a monk who doesn’t aspire to be an Abbot is not a good monk. Originally, I could have inherited his mantle, but since Master told me to descend the mountain, I can only satisfy my craving to be an Abbot in the game."

"That’s a commendable ambition," Xu Huo approved.

Yan Jiayu’s eyes curved into crescents as she pushed her items forward again.

Xu Huo unexpectedly saw a "Bright Gentleman" medal among them. "This medal..."

"I killed a minor monster in a random instance, and the game said he was a serial killer, even a wanted criminal, so it rewarded me with this medal. Do you want it? But it seems to be of no use," Yan Jiayu said with a puzzled look.

"It might not be useless," Xu Huo said. "It’s issued by the game officials, so it probably has a significance beyond being just a super prop."

He had given his to the Girl in the Painting.

However, Yan Jiayu waved her hand dismissively, "Even if it can be used, that is a matter for the future. If I don’t have powerful items to keep me alive until then, any medal would be pointless."

"How about I trade the scissors for this?"

Without much hesitation, Xu Huo agreed. At the moment, he had no use for the scissors as a prop anyway, and besides, even though the Girl in the Painting had always been unclear about the medal’s benefits, he figured it must be more than an ordinary medal. With an ordinary item in exchange, he felt like he was getting a bargain.

Yan Jiayu, who didn’t place much importance on the medal, put away her things and happily fiddled with the scissors.

Pocketing the medal, Xu Huo unfolded the map he had acquired and examined its contents closely.

The travel guide included some Game Points that didn’t need mentioning—fixed locations with fixed game modes, easy enough to pass through. The main concern was the several other quiz game locations which were not fixed; each quiz game had at least three or more random locations, like the Mirror Tent, which wasn’t on this map today.

This meant that aside from a portion of the game which could be referenced for passing through, the map wasn’t much use.
