Chapter 1517: Chapter 1515: Urban Districts and Special Events

A familiar factory and the familiar Ladybug Store.

All the Ladybug Points earned during the mall game had been entirely transferred to Sally, amounting to a total of 99 points. If insufficient, they could make up the difference by selling items.

The abilities currently unlocked for Sally are as follows:

[Incubation] - 50 points

[Tentacle. Heteromorphosis - goat’s hoof (two stages)] - 30 points

[Body unlocking (three stages)] - 100 points

And one unique special unlock option, strictly limited to participants whose original level is Mythic Body.

Exclusive Unlock: [Domain - The forest of sheep]. The effects of this domain are considered a weakened version, with the impact limited to aligning with the current character’s level.

Even so, the resulting effects are still immensely powerful.

The domain unlock requires an entire 200 points, so for now, Sally can only keep it in mind.

First, 50 points were spent to unlock the greatly important [Incubation] for the early-to-mid game stage.

This ability not only allows for the incubation of life but can also generate desired limbs. If a scenario arises where limbs are severed, burned, or otherwise irreparably damaged during the game, one can produce new limbs on-site—highly effective in dangerous situations.

Next, 30 points were spent to unlock [Tentacle. Heteromorphosis - goat’s hoof], which enhances tentacle manipulation while simultaneously strengthening kicking techniques.

...

Meanwhile, as Sally leveled up,

Han Dong leaned against the shop’s exterior, pondering the critical information he had acquired during this game round.

Aside from Ladybug Points,

he had also obtained a special numerical value called "Killer Experience Value." While referred to as experience, it didn’t carry the same meaning as in traditional video games. It neither facilitated individual upgrades, nor did it result in rank changes like bronze to silver tiers.

Instead, it functioned as a unique consumable for killers.

In the City where [Ladybug Day] is ongoing, occasional special games, events, and the like would crop up. These tended to correspond to significantly higher levels of complexity and difficulty. To participate, one had to pay "Killer Experience Value."

It was essentially a selection mechanism implemented by the game designers to ensure the quality of these special games by filtering participants.

These experience-value-consuming games naturally offered exceptionally high-value rewards that couldn’t even be purchased in the store, including advanced bloodlines, equipment, privileges, etc.

"If such an experience-value setting exists,

it’s almost certain that to win the [Final Treasure], one must accumulate a vast amount of experience value to qualify for the most challenging games."

Additionally, Han Dong received another reward, similar to the situation in the hospital.

Owing to the difficulty of the game reaching [Ladybug Count: 3], and Han Dong having completely dominated the zombie horde in the mall, [Unlock: Walma Department Store] was also granted.

Han Dong could enter the mall during non-game hours to seek refuge and procure basic supplies and would also be under the zombies’ protection.

"Scene unlocking... perhaps it doesn’t just provide convenience for me.

This whole Fate Event feels too much like a [Game]. I even suspect that everything happening so far might be simulated or virtual.

As the game progresses, unforeseen changes might occur, and these pre-unlocked scenes could potentially play a much more significant role.

The more scenes I can unlock, the better.

Another crucial keyword is the [Ladybug Organization]—could it be the governing authority of this unique World of Fate?

Thanks to my unexpected performance, I have caught their attention. If that focus continues to rise, there might be a chance to make contact with this organization, uncover the true nature of the Ladybug Game, and perhaps even touch the World Origin itself.

If my head could absorb the kind of unrestricted World Origin found in this unique world beyond conventional Black Tower constraints, who knows what might happen... it could be quite entertaining~ hahaha!"

As this thought crossed his mind, an uncontrollable surge of mad laughter welled up from within him.

At that moment, Sally, fresh from unlocking her abilities, happened to step out of the shop and caught sight of Han Dong covering his mouth and giggling foolishly.

"What’s so amusing~?"

"Nothing at all, I just got a little ahead of myself. Sally, do we have any points left?"

"Yes, 19 points remaining."

"Hold on a second; I’m going to see if I can modify the chainsaw."

"Vikus’ Fat and Flesh Mechanism," the first blue-quality piece of Fine Equipment that Han Dong had acquired within the Ladybug Game.

Based on Han Dong’s current understanding, blue Fine Equipment was already exceedingly rare in this setting. For killers confined to standard states, it was rare for any of them to fully utilize the power of Fine Equipment.

Following the shopkeeper’s appraisal, the Fate Equipment originated from a mid-tier world—[Jericho], which was also a subordinate world of Hell, explaining why Han Dong had taken a liking to the chainsaw at first sight.

"Shopkeeper, can this chainsaw’s power system be stripped of its fat-based components and converted to a pure blood-fueled mechanism instead?"

"That will require ten points for the modification, along with an additional ten-minute wait time.

If the blood you provide is of comparable quality to the fat and blood used by its original owner, the chainsaw’s function will not be negatively impacted."

"I’ll leave it in your hands."

Once the modifications were complete,

the engine now boasted a more visceral, heart-shaped design.

Han Dong left the shop highly satisfied, though a slight weariness did set in amidst his excitement.

After all, since entering the game, he had consecutively participated in two high-intensity matches.

"Sally, let’s find a safe and secluded area to rest for a while. With our current condition, we should be able to rack up points quickly.

Before any phase transitions occur in the game, we must seize the time to amass as many Ladybug Points as we can."

"Alright!"

They located a quiet apartment building. Though the rooms appeared relatively secure, out of caution, they opted to take turns sleeping as a safeguard.

Leveraging the aid of tentacles, they delved fully into deep sleep, requiring only three hours to fully recover.

Over the next two days,

The reputation of the "Chainsaw Guest" spread like wildfire in the [Labrum Area].

Ladybug City was divided into five districts: [Labrum Area], [Small Hair Area], [Plant-eating Area], [Notched Eye Area], and [Hidden Tibia Area].

A chilling new rumor had already begun circulating in the Labrum Area.

It spoke of a seemingly unassuming figure equipped with a chainsaw, a new killer who often lingered in the area and exclusively participated in games with a base difficulty rating of [4] or higher.

His companion was described as a stunningly beautiful woman often lurking in the shadows,

though some claimed his companion was merely a fierce-looking mutt.

Every game the Chainsaw Guest participated in invariably ended in victory, and any killer daring to harbor ill intentions toward him would ultimately meet a gruesome end, reduced to fuel for his chainsaw.

Only a handful of killers had glimpsed the true form of the Chainsaw Guest, but the accounts varied widely.

Some claimed the Chainsaw Guest possessed three arms, with the spaces between his arms emitting canine snarls.

Others asserted that his small, wiry frame was merely a disguise, as his real body was enormous, with a gargantuan eye sometimes appearing on his shoulder.

Still, others speculated he might be an Undying figure sent by the System, as no fatal wound seemed capable of ending him.

...

On the fourth day of their arrival in Ladybug City,

night descended.

The young man carrying the chainsaw was roaming the streets, seeking the next suitable game when the street broadcast system abruptly flared to life.

『Attention all killers active in Labrum Area: a supernatural-themed special event will occur in five hours at [Black Shell Residential Street]. Please proceed to the designated area for related game information.』

"A special event... it’s finally here."
