Chapter 605: Chapter 164: Friends from Afar Come Seeking Monthly Tickets
"[You’re dead, this journey has ended, settling accounts...]"
"[Evaluation:"
"[Literary youth version: O Jianghuai, your red qi leaves for heavenly stars, is the Netherworld the road you traveled here? Better to go back, the safe zone is no place for you to stay!]"
"[Plain speech version: A complete weakling, utterly useless, one touch and you’re down for the count, couldn’t last three rounds, why bother living? Here’s a suggestion, just go bash your head against a block of tofu and end it all.]"
"[You have acquired an item: Flawless Iron Plate Tofu]"
"[Flawless Iron Plate Tofu: Iron plates into soldiers, tofu into camps! A piece of tofu so flawlessly made, it compels those who see it to smash their heads against it again and again, until either death or the tofu breaks apart. Those with superhuman strength might be immune.]"
"[Current number of starts for today: 2/3]"
——
Ugh, you still dare to sarcastically taunt me?
Rebel!
Xu Shu grumbled with his eyes covered, grinding his teeth.
Activating the journey mode within the safe zone provokes the Star Tower, making it extremely sensitive; the slightest mistake could suddenly trigger a lightning strike capable of killing anything in existence.
Xu Shu knew this all too well.
The last two bottles of mineral water for "Self-cutting Meridians" in his inventory were proof.
He had died more than once at the hands of the Star Tower and had gained experience from death.
This time, he had thought about whether he could just sit in the car and not move, trying to last until six o’clock to see what would come next.
It seemed that plan had failed.
First, there were too many people in the carriage; any jostling from the car, and it was impossible to avoid bumping into others.
Second, Xu Shu now suspected that the Cao Gang bunch might be planning to drag it out until night to take him and the others to their destination.
Bad guys doing bad deeds, they all like the night, right?
Makes sense.
It seems that for today’s three tries, he wouldn’t see any effective future.
But something was strange; why did he get something like "Flawless Iron Plate Tofu" instead of "Self-cutting Meridians" after dying within the Star Tower’s safe range this time?
Does this have anything to do with eating iron plate eggplant last night?
Well, "Self-cutting Meridians" is for suicide, and iron plate tofu is for suicide too, so it looks pretty much the same when you think about it.
"Hey, little bro..."
As time passed, the nosy sister-in-law next to him started to ask all sorts of questions.
The vehicle made a sharp turn, and she couldn’t help leaning forward, collapsing onto Xu Shu, pressing down with her hand in an inappropriate place.
"Ah, sorry, sorry~ I didn’t mean to," the embarrassed sister-in-law apologized.
"Mhm, no worries," Xu Shu replied without much interest; he had noticed that when the lady leaned on him, an indifferent gaze from the carriage was fixed upon him.
Was it one of the guards accompanying them?
The aura was chilling; they must be a Transcendent, but not a highly skilled one.
They only sent one person; it seems they were not worried, obviously unaware of my special...
Xu Shu made a mental note of the time and, as the car took another turn, he once again embarked on the journey.
The Tai Chu Scroll’s uses shouldn’t be wasted.
"[Currently assessing status...]"
"[Assessment complete]"
"[Your situation is very dire...]"
As the fleeting images before his eyes brightened, Xu Shu took a deep breath, quietly bowed his head, and pretended to be as silent as a quail.
He wanted to extend this journey as long as possible without alarming anyone, to see more of the future!
Just as this thought flashed by, the sister-in-law beside him suddenly leaned in, hugging Xu Shu’s head into her ample bosom.
The soft cushioning served as Xu Shu’s pillow, and she murmured soothingly in his ear:
"Little bro, what’s wrong, why so unhappy? Did I hurt you when I bumped into you? Let sister rub it for you, hehe~ hehe..."
"What the hell?"
Xu Shu, failing to maintain his turtle shell guise, was bombarded by a series of question marks.
Damn it, what’s with this wretched woman? Has she never seen a man before?
As this thought emerged, there was a crisp snap, Thunder Light struck down, enveloping Xu Shu.
He was then greeted by the settlement screen of the Tai Chu Scroll:
"[You’re dead, this journey has ended...]"
"[You have acquired an item: Flawless Iron Plate Tofu]"
"[Current number of starts for today: 1/3]"
——
Journey over, Xu Shu vomited.
What is this woman doing? Is she that starved for affection, or what?
Damn it!
Xu Shu sat up straight, then whispered to the side, "Don’t call out to me on the road ever again!"
"Huh?" The sister-in-law, puzzled and startled, replied in a hurt tone, "Oh, got it!"
Only then did Xu Shu feel relieved. He waited a full ten minutes before once again embarking on the journey.
"[Your situation is very dire, you’re blindfolded, locked in a car, about to be taken to a secret base.]"
"[You hold your breath, focusing on reducing your presence.]"
"[The sister-in-law suddenly asks you: "Little bro, you were so mad just now, why aren’t you angry anymore? Are you sick? Don’t be scared, sister will hug you, don’t be mad at me, there now~"]"
"[This sister-in-law has a big heart, and holds your head against her chest, your face rubbing back and forth like a pinball, leaving tire marks.]"
"[Oh dear, under the broad daylight of Guangtian Lake, you actually take advantage of a woman, you you you sly scoundrel! The Star Tower, upon seeing this, delivers a standard attack.]"
"[You’re dead, this journey has ended, settling accounts...]"
"[You have acquired an item: Flawless Iron Plate Tofu]!"
"[Current number of starts for today: 0/3]"
——
No!
Ow~ What do you think you’re doing~?
What’s up with this woman, is she this crazy for men? Does me getting taken advantage of count as tofu?
The Star Tower is playing favorites here, why don’t you strike her dead too!
