"What BUFF did you get?" Xia Ling asked curiously.

"The Eye of Insight," Gu Chi explained the effect to the girl.

Xia Ling's eyes widened slightly, exclaiming, "That's so powerful?"

Being able to see other people's attributes and temporary BUFFs wasn't a big deal, as some special items could do that as well, which was equivalent to having two rare auxiliary props. However, the dungeon tasks were different. They belonged to the system mechanism and were the most confidential in terms of player privacy.

For example, if seeing other people's attributes was like seeing through clothes to the essence, then the task of insight was like X-rays, being able to see a person's internal organs and bones clearly. The key was that Gu Chi's X-ray wasn't just a single X, but a group of X's, able to X-ray all players, including her!

As a player who loved to hoard props, Xia Ling felt that she was definitely well-informed. Although she didn't have many props, she knew the effects of most of them. However, Gu Chi's X-ray for peeking at other people's tasks was something she had never heard of.

In pseudo-team mode, the effect of "The Eye of Insight" was relatively limited, as everyone had the same task, and Gu Chi wasn't the type to mess with teammates. But there was not only team mode but also PVP mode and personal mode in the summoning, and after level 20, there would be an additional competitive mode.

The personal mode also contained PVP elements because each player's tasks were different. If they conflicted with each other, a battle was inevitable. At this time, knowing the other party's goals and intentions in advance became crucial.

Other players could only guess based on other people's actions, but Gu Chi could see directly, giving him a super advantage against anyone, which was simply abnormal.

Gu Chi thought for a moment and asked the girl, "Is the probability of personal mode high?"

"About 10%," Xia Ling estimated.

Gu Chi was still below level 20, and the probability of matching team mode was close to 80%, with the remaining being PVP and personal mode.

"That's too low."

With only 10%, it was impossible to fully utilize the most powerful aspect of this BUFF if luck didn't favor him.

"Are there any props that can choose the dungeon mode?" Gu Chi asked.

"Yes," Xia Ling nodded, then pouted, "But I've used it up."

The rewards for PVP mode were much higher than team mode, and with the advanced identity card, she could choose her character, giving her a significant advantage in the big melee. So, she had firmly chosen PVP at that time. Then she met Gu Chi...

"If I had just held on a little longer," Xia Ling regretted a bit.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

She didn't get anything good from the game in Northern Rivers, and the two props were almost wasted.

Gu Chi smiled and gently pushed the girl's head onto his shoulder, saying, "Think about it. If you hadn't met me, could you have taken first place? Your choice was not wrong. It's not you who wasted the props, it's me."

"How can you count it like that?" Xia Ling had thought back on the trip to Northern Rivers.

If there was no "Gu Yuan" ID, she wouldn't have gone on the day of Huang Yang's marriage proposal. After emptying the Spirit Stone of the Dynasty, she would continue to search for resources for cultivation in other sects, not conflict with the Demon-Hunting Bureau, and the Emperor wouldn't have died so quickly. Her starting point was higher than Li Zhiyi's, and she had a wide network in the Dynasty, so in terms of cultivation speed, Li Zhiyi couldn't compete with her. During the leveling process, her intention to rebel against the Demon-Hunting Bureau might also have been discovered, and the result would have been completely different. The probability of her taking first place was very high.

But!

"No amount of rewards is more important than you," Xia Ling said.

The gap between her and Gu Chi's attributes was too wide. If they hadn't met in Northern Rivers, who knew when they would have started living together.

"That's exactly right," Gu Chi's gaze swept over the girl's lips and teased, "So the props weren't wasted. You're just enjoying them early."

It seemed to make sense? Xia Ling thought of that sweet feeling again, her cheeks blushing, but she didn't admit defeat, "Don't you enjoy it?"

"I do enjoy it," Gu Chi said honestly, "Doesn't this prove that your use of these two props is even more worthwhile?"

"Then I'll make it even more worthwhile," Xia Ling reached out and cupped Gu Chi's cheek, then leaned up to kiss him.

Gu Chi: "..."

Again?

Five minutes later.

The two separated, and the girl's tender red lips shimmered with a lustrous luster under the light.

Xia Ling smiled with a blush and said, "I won again, 2-0."

Gu Chi: "May I ask how you're calculating this win and loss?"

"Of course, it's about who has attacked the other's base," Xia Ling's charming face had a hint of pride, "You let me manipulate you as you pleased, so it can't be me who lost, right?"

Gu Chi: "..."

This rule was very unfair.

What if someone liked being passive?

Gu Chi licked his lips and asked about the name of the prop, "What's the name of that prop?"

"The Emblem of Wisdom and Valor," Xia Ling said, "It shouldn't be in the auction house. I'll ask my game friends."

There was a special friend channel in the world chat box, and all friends could see the messages sent out. However, because each person had different friends, there were often situations where a player "went mad" because they couldn't see the other person's words. Gu Chi had seen Reinforced Concrete muttering to himself several times.

Xia Ling sent a message: "Who has the Emblem of Wisdom and Valor? Urgent!"

Veteran players usually didn't call items by their real names, only by nicknames.

Gu Chi double-clicked on Xia Ling's message and copied it to his input bar, then sent it out in the friend channel as well.

Although he only had ten friends.

The hidden main doctor took the lead and sent a question mark: "?"

Huang Ya: "?"

The reason this item was called the Emblem of Wisdom and Valor was that most people generally defaulted to choosing PVP, which had the highest returns.

Dr. Chen: "So, are you trying to team up with me to beat me?"

Gu Chi: "..."

That wasn't the case.

How could he bear to attack Tian Tian?Gu Chi: "The plan has changed, I'm going to switch to personal mode."

Dr. Chen: "That's fine."

Personal mode doesn't necessarily have to be a fight. As long as the missions don't conflict, players can also cooperate with each other.

Li Tianque chimed in, "I'm in."

Gu Chi posted a picture and said, "Name your price, or we can trade. 'The Ark of Stars and Civilization.'"

Li Tianque: "/Grinning, I tricked you."

Hahaha!

If I can't beat you, can't I at least tease you?

Gu Chi: "?"

Li Tianque: "/Grinning/Grinning."

A little teasing brings a lot of joy.

So Gu Chi also laughed and said, "'The Devil's Invitation.'"

Li Tianque: "?"

Gu Chi: "/Grinning/Grinning."

Li Tianque: "/Crying, I'm sorry, I was wrong, Your Majesty, spare me!"

The speed of his kneeling is unmatched.

Li Tianque: "I've added you as a friend, we're even now, don't act all high and mighty with me!"

Dr. Chen also copied Gu Chi's words and sent them to his own friend channel.

Fenghuo Yantang also forwarded the message, even though he didn't say anything.

In the bedroom, Xia Leng, who was lying down reading, also saw the message. She didn't have many friends, so she sent it directly to the "Do Nothing" group.

This sparked a group of active participants.

Sexy Uncle: "Oh, the goddess is going to do PVP again, randomly killing 99 lucky viewers."

Old Man Li: "Fun."

Yoyo: "Sister, give me a time, I'll avoid queuing at the same time."

This Not-So-Cold Assassin: "Sister, give me a time, I'll go collect some heads."

Crazy Tire: "+1."

Sleepy Orange: "I'll go too! As long as I can see my sister, I'm willing to die willingly!"

Xia Leng: "…"

The top players in the "Do Nothing" group are indeed many, but there are not many who have the goods.

When a player's attributes reach a certain level and they have confidence in themselves, they mainly focus on PVP. If they have both intelligence and courage, they will use them, but they won't deliberately buy or keep them.

Xia Leng's reputation was built this way.

In the end, the old merchant "Secondhand Dealer" said to Xia Leng, "The 'Emblem of Wisdom and Valor,' it's best to trade!"

Not quoting a price usually means they only want to trade, but the "Secondhand Dealer" was giving the goddess some face by adding "it's best" - if she insisted on using old coins, it could still be done.

Qing Chi: "Add me, thank you."

Xia Leng didn't want to take advantage of him, so she glanced at the email and then forwarded it to Gu Chi, and sent a message: "The Ark is for me."

Gu Chi: "…"

In just five minutes.

Xia Ling and Dr. Chen didn't make a move, only Xia Leng got the item, and it seemed like she received it before paying.

Is this the network of top players?

Gu Chi: "Thank you, goddess, I will repay you in the future."

Xia Leng: "…"

For some reason, she inexplicably felt that the focus of Gu Chi's words was on the second word of the second half of the sentence.

Was it her imagination?

Seeing Xia Leng get the last item, Xia Ling couldn't help but sigh softly, "Sister is really amazing."

She didn't go to Xia Leng first, not because she didn't want to compare herself to Xia Leng, but the fact proved that sister is always sister.

Gu Chi kindly comforted the young girl, "You're amazing too, it's 2-0."

"Really?" But Xia Ling unexpectedly scored another point, making it 3-0.

Afterward, she climbed up the pole, panting heavily.

The girl blushed, her eyes shining as she said, "I'm so amazing, should brother reward me? Tonight, you can hold me while sleeping."

Gu Chi: "Greedy, aren't you?"

Xia Ling: "Yes."

Gu Chi: "Okay."

"Hehe." Xia Ling bent down and pecked Gu Chi's face, "I'm going to take a shower."

The bathroom in the room wasn't soundproof, and the sound of water was loud.

Because the BUFF was released early tonight, the game segment was skipped, so they could go to bed earlier.

Gu Chi opened his backpack, preparing to boost his combat power.

7 "Crystal Fragments."

4 "Superior Parts."

The 1000-year-old old coins were set aside, with a balance of 8001.

It is said that the probability of being in a relevant scene when using a skill is higher, so Gu Chi planned to give it a try.

He was still thinking about the acceleration skill he used for running.

Acceleration = Fast = Slippery = Water.

So he moved a little towards the bathroom, making the sound of water clearer.

【Please select the type of skill you need】

"Agile, Auxiliary, General."

【Acquired Skill: Swift Seal (Passive)】

【Swift Seal Level 1: Increases the release speed of your ninjutsu skills by 1%】

"Is there also ninjutsu?"

This was something Gu Chi hadn't expected.

It's not very useful for now.

Next.

【Please select the type of skill you need】

"Agile, Auxiliary, General."

【Acquired Skill: Child of the Wind】

【Child of the Wind Level 1: Makes a certain part of your body as swift as the wind】

Gu Chi: "…"

How is this description so similar to the Stone Skin Technique?

Does it mean that it can strengthen the legs?

Gu Chi tried to release the skill.

Suddenly, a strange cool sensation came from his lower body.

He saw strands of light blue light wrapping around his feet, and it seemed to make him very fast.

Gu Chi got out of bed, put on his slippers, and ran from the bedroom to the living room like a gust of wind, and then back to the bedroom. The corners of the bedsheet were lifted by the strong wind he created.

It has to be said, this skill is very smooth.

It doesn't amplify speed like traditional acceleration skills, but it increases the flexibility of the body.

Because the legs move fast, you can run fast.

The human body has its limits, and in terms of the upper limit, Child of the Wind is definitely not as good as a specialized running skill, but it excels in all aspects.

Like the Stone Skin Technique, enhancing both feet is just one option. If used properly, it can produce many wonderful effects, such as five punches in one second.

"Nice."

Gu Chi bought a few essences to level it up to level 5.

The name "Child of the Wind" sounds more advanced than the Stone Skin Technique, and it also has a clear advantage in close combat.

Although Gu Chi doesn't have many close combat skills, it can still be used as a substitute for a lower-level running skill.In the future, other uses could be developed, and it's never a loss to start small.

Gu Chi shifted his gaze to the "Superior Quality Components."

He then checked the version progress.

After pondering for a moment.

Gu Chi decided not to combine them just yet.

The drop rate for "Superior Quality Components" was quite low; only one appeared in eight instances.

The Legendary Collection progress was 9/12. Considering the current disturbances, Pure Land might soon welcome a new version. It would be better to stockpile and wait for that time to open them, as there might be more choices.

Of course, there was also a chance they could become invalid.

In such cases, the game would usually issue a notice in advance, advising players to clear their inventory to avoid losses.

There was another possibility—the equipment pool remained the same, and old version components could only be combined into old version items.

Either way, there would be no loss.

With Xia Ling's help in this instance, and having drawn the Child of the Wind, there shouldn't be any problems.

That settled it.

Gu Chi closed his inventory.

After Xia Ling came out of the bathroom, he took a shower himself, then turned off the lights and went to bed.

Gu Chi's thought process was always very clear.

He knew that he would mostly have to rely on Xia Ling's strength for this instance, so he planned to get used to it first.

Starting from tonight, he would embrace it.

The next day.

After finishing his classes, Gu Chi sent a message to Vice Principal Liu as he left school, saying he had to go on a trip and wouldn't be back for a while.

Vice Principal Liu generously said it was no problem, and that it wouldn't matter if he didn't come to school for a month.

Even if it was calculated at four classes per month, Gu Chi had already completed three months' worth, and Vice Principal Liu was content!

By the early hours of the morning.

Gu Chi was chatting with Dr. Chen and Ling Mao while leaning against the headboard.

Xia Ling was yawning and lying on his legs, watching a drama.

The summoning time was truly inconvenient, at four in the morning, making her sleepy from waiting.

Ling Mao, on the other hand, was quite excited; she could be ready at any time as long as she could queue with Gu Chi!

Ten minutes left on the countdown.

Five people on four different beds, each in their own posture, waited for the game to start.

It felt like staying up late for a gaming session.

Dr. Chen lay in the center of a large bed, legs crossed.

Huang Ya sat on the edge of the bed, humming softly with headphones on.

Ling Mao was rolling around in bed wrapped in a blanket, cocooning herself.

Gu Chi asked Xia Ling, "Shall I pull you in, or will you do it yourself?"

Xia Ling replied, "I'll do it myself."

She preferred to take the initiative.

After all, she had several Twin Contracts.

Gu Chi also began using items.

Including Xia Ling's Unilateral Rush, a total of five epics made this otherwise ordinary summoning extravagantly luxurious.

There were no more items that could be added.

All for the sake of the taboo.
