Chapter 53: Blue Star – 7
by GideonAsking the Playwright a second time was out of the question—not in this lifetime, absolutely not.
Ye Jiujiu fell silent for a moment, cast a glance at her shop—which still didn’t have a single customer, though it now featured four puppet shop assistants converted from players—and ultimately decided…
【Minor issue.】
Meeting Jie Keye’s complex emotions, Ye Jiujiu put on a polite smile.
【I’m on my way.】
Making it sound as if no one else could travel to Blue Star!
Jie Keye, who had already prepared to go find the Playwright himself: …
Well, was there actually a little touch of warmth?
Serenely, he repositioned himself into a comfortable spot and lay back down on the cushion inside the demonic coffin—still earnestly clutching that ash box in his hands, fully determined to maintain his character setting right to the end.
Meanwhile, after reconfirming the Blue Star coordinate lock, Ye Jiujiu swept her gaze over the stats panels of all the puppets in her possession, and finally… her gaze lingered on Shadow and another A+-rank player puppet who was over two meters tall. As someone with fragile stats who possessed a trait skill preventing her from dying easily a second time, still… dying hurt a lot, okay?
Ye Jiujiu did not like suffering, and she hated pain even more.
Generally speaking…
Whoever made her suffer and endure pain, she would definitely return it tenfold or a hundredfold—
From the perspective of stealth, Shadow’s skills and attributes were undoubtedly the most suitable for hiding in the shadows to launch a surprise attack.
And from the perspective of acting as a meat shield, that two-meter-plus player-turned-puppet was the most superior choice—given that height and build, if Ye Jiujiu didn’t feel like walking, couldn’t she just sit directly on his shoulders?
Clutching this thought, the fully decided Ye Jiujiu unhesitatingly began spending points to upgrade these two puppets.
“Puppet Name: Shadow (Original Name: Bai Xing)
Rank: S
Weapon: Shadow Blade
Skills:
-
Shadow Escape (Max Level): Ubiquitous darkness, just like the motherland that gave birth to you. You were born from darkness, darkness is you, you are darkness (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Shadow Thorn (Max Level): Darkness has already accompanied your sides and can naturally become the most powerful weapon in your hands. You will manipulate darkness, and all darkness can be transformed into your weapon (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Hidden Weapon Mastery (Max Level): Anything that falls into your hands can become a weapon to kill; even just a tiny grain of sand can easily rob your enemy of their life, let alone mechanisms, hidden weapons, ziplines… (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Agility (Max Level): You have reached the current highest baseline level. Your speed will rival that of light (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Martial Arts/Combat (Max Level): You have reached the ultimate destination of human combat; your killing techniques have already achieved perfection (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).”
“Puppet Name: Tata (Original Name: Meat Hammer)
Rank: S
Weapon: Overlord Heavy Saber
Skills:
-
Ultimate Defense (Max Level): You do not need a weapon at all, because your physical sturdiness can already serve as your handiest weapon. Even against a powerhouse far surpassing you by two tiers, you can still hang on and survive their initial full-powered attack (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Agility (Max Level): You have reached the current highest baseline level. Your speed will rival that of light (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Law Manifestation & Earthly Transformation [Shattered] (Max Level): You have reached the peak of the current Shattered skill. By spending sufficient points (100 points per hour), you successfully activate the current skill—namely, increasing your size tenfold, enhancing all skill effects tenfold, and boosting defense twentyfold (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Metal Element Ability (Max Level): As long as you don’t encounter a second max-level user of the same attribute, all manifestations of the metal element will bow to you—perhaps you should know that even the free-floating matter of the metal element contained in the air… (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).
-
Basic Saber Technique (Max Level): You have successfully engraved the basics of saber techniques into your body’s memory. To a certain extent, gifted with saber talent, you are a genius who can endure hardship! (Breakthrough requirement: Advanced Saber Technique?).
-
Martial Arts/Combat (Max Level): You have reached the ultimate destination of human combat; your killing techniques have already achieved perfection (Breakthrough requirement: ??? Not triggered).”
Seemed… like it wasn’t half bad?
Satisfied as she sat atop Tata’s shoulders, Ye Jiujiu used the storm as traction, taking the two puppets with her to successfully break away from the game world and arrive at Blue Star’s Eastern Domain, which was shrouded by the Ghost Realm.
Before she even opened her eyes—
“Whoosh—”
“Clang—”
Amidst a tremor, when Ye Jiujiu opened her eyes, she happened to see Tata expressionlessly raising his hand to block a long saber thrown directly at them.
If she hadn’t brought her puppets along…
Slowly, slowly, Ye Jiujiu cast a cold gaze toward the direction from which the long saber had been thrown—
Storm, who had also been drawn over by the sudden turn of events and was looking in their direction: …
With just a single glance, he instantly recognized Ye Jiujiu.
He almost dropped the second long saber in his hand—especially when Storm suddenly realized that this young girl had actually appeared right here on Blue Star…
Then that perverted licker… wouldn’t he also be able to come to Blue Star?
Or even worse, was he already right here on Blue Star?
Hiss—
He drew a sharp breath on the spot.
Oh crap, Blue Star is probably doomed!
