Chapter 443: Chapter 275: Full form Ice Spirit_1

This skin truly has no life-span mission, but its ’Survival of the Fittest’ talent is profoundly strong. The lower the HP, the faster it can evolve to adapt to the current harsh environment. Simply put, it wouldn’t die due to the surrounding harsh conditions.

Of course, damages from physical or magical attacks, hunger, and bleeding would still lead to death.

[Your skin slots are full. Would you like to use the Vampire Earl skin to devour this skin? Note: Devouring would fully inherit the talents and curses of this skin, while also getting a random additional curse.]

This skin talent is also a combat enhancement, similar to the Vampire Earl, having the ’Scorching Sun’ limitation during the day, and can be directly devoured by the Vampire skin.

[You have merged the ’Minion Rodney’ skin into the Vampire Earl skin.]

[Merge successful. Your Vampire Earl skin has obtained the talent ’Survival of the Fittest’ and the curse ’Greed’.]

[Merging Curse Randomization... the Vampire Earl skin has attained the curse ’Severe Myopia’: Everything within three meters appears blurry to you, it’s best if you get some glasses.]

Mu You raised an eyebrow, indeed, this talent was strong, which resulted in a formidable random curse. The curse of Myopia, while tolerable for a lifestyle skin, would greatly affect a combat skin.

"Rewind!"

Mu You pressed his pocket watch, re-rolling the curse.

[...you’ve gained the random curse ’Memory of Death’: your maximum HP will permanently decrease by 100 points each time you die.]

"Rewind!"

[...you’ve gained the random curse ’Silverware Phobia’: silver utensils are your weaknesses, when pierced by silverware, it will inflict heavy damage.]

"Rewind..."

...

The following random curses were all powerful ones. After dozens of random attempts, Mu You finally picked a relatively less horrifying curse.

[Death Penalty: The experience and life loss from your death is increased tenfold.]

The increase by ten times sounded frightful, but in fact, it only changed from losing one year of life per death, to losing ten years per death. Life could be infinitely obtained and even if it was deducted a lot, there would always be chances to replenish–unlike the previous reduction of the HP limit, a permanent reduction until one became as delicate as a glass bottle.

Moreover, it’s not easy for one to die under the Vampire skin.

Thus, Mu You finally decided on this curse.

After collecting the skin, the main award was next: the Heart of the Mist.

[Heart of the Mist: creates a large, circular mist around. The range of the mist can be controlled, and those in the mist may lose their sense of direction.]

Indeed, this was the source of the mist surrounding Foggy Mountain. Mu You had personally experienced the effects of the mist. One could say that if he hadn’t the Pumpkin Lantern, it would have been impossible to find the entrance to the tomb.

Explicitly speaking, this was a divine artifact for a reclusive lifestyle, no wonder the Vampire Clan needed it. With its concealment, they could hold clan meetings uneventfully.

An invaluable treasure, however, if he directly took it away, it would cause the mist of the Foggy Mountain to disappear, exposing the tomb to many others. So, this ball should be firstly kept in the Foggy Mountain until needed.

After checking the two loot items, Mu You didn’t rest. He slipped into the fireplace, ready to head up the mountain.

Previously, the Dwarf Blacksmith had given him a map of the mountaintop. It was said that the marked location on the map pointed out the location of a ’Cold Iron Essence’, an essential material for repairing the Synthesis Furnace. Taking advantage of his current ability to survive on the mountaintop, Mu You planned to retrieve it.

[You climb up the stone chimney, and ten minutes later, you finally reach the exit of the chimney.]

[You have arrived at the summit of Foggy Mountain.]

[Beneath the severe cold of the snowy mountain, your HP begins to decrease quickly...]

[...your HP drops to one point, under the effect of the Survival of the Fittest talent, your HP finally stops decaying.]

[Although your hands and feet have been frostbitten, consciousness blurred, and your entire body’s flesh and bones have nearly frozen into an ice block, you’re still surviving tenaciously...]

Mu You, sitting in his study, shivered. Under the shared pain effect, he could clearly feel the chilling pain around him, as if countless tiny needles were piercing his skin.

Even with the pain sensation reduced to one-tenth, it was still this intense. It was hard to imagine the kind of pain the game character in the Star Spirit World was going through.

[You take out the ’Simple Map of the Misty Mountain Top’ with your trembling hands and begin to seek the marked location on the map...]

[You have found an ’Ice Spirit Grass’, a rare Ice Department Spirit Plant that only grows on extremely cold snowy mountains, an important ingredient for many frost potions...]

[Crop harvested, you have collected ’Ice Spirit Grass’*1, Herb Essence*1.]

...

[You have found a ’Snowball Pappus’, a type of pappus fruit that grows on Snowball grass, in the shape of dandelions, the surface fluff is made of ice crystals that would fly to other places with the blowing wind, until it blooms again, one of the primary ingredients for making a Frost Resistance Potion...]

[Crop harvested, you have collected ’Snowball Pappus’*1, Herb Essence*1.]
