Chapter 7 This World Doesn't Seem Simple

"Although they are all sketches, the content of this collection is not the same as what 'I' drew in the story..."

Feng Xue looked at the portrait in the sketch and felt that something was wrong. Although the current [Bonfire] and [Essay Sketch] were related to the incident, a closer look revealed many incongruities.

However, whether this drop is related to the event or is a classic random drop of the meat pigeon remains to be explored. However, the most reliable explanation is that this is the first time I opened a meat pigeon, so most of the collections have not been unlocked, which makes the drop seem coincidental.

Moreover, for now, these collections categorized as "survival aids" did not seem to have any special effects other than providing resources, so he put aside this insignificant doubt for the time being.

"Speaking of which, I have 6 points of Legacy now. If I put them in the integrated strategy, I can already recruit -star operators. Unfortunately, I don't have any operators, and I don't know what I can buy."

Thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, Feng Xue looked at the next node. The four words "Ordinary Combat" were clearly written there, which made Feng Xue feel a little pressured.

After a brief hesitation, he took a deep breath and said silently:

"Don't play, don't play!"

[Violence is not omnipotent, but it is always effective]

After the usual line of text, the block expanded and enveloped his consciousness again. In the dim black curtain, only a line of small words remained -

【Youthful Spirit】

……

"Uh, um..."

The darkness in front of him dissipated, and Feng Xue regained feeling of his body again. However, compared to his previous baby appearance, he could now control his hands and feet freely.

In front of him, several children who looked to be about seven or eight years old were slowly spreading out, as if they were planning to surround him, and the one leading them said with a majestic look on his face:
"So what if you can fight? Can you beat a dozen of us by yourself?"

Feng Xue sighed inwardly, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​looking in the mirror. Although his body had become that of a child, he was still an adult in thinking. When it came to fighting in a group, he naturally understood...

Get started first!
Without waiting for the little brat who was talking threats to continue pretending to [beep——], he had already rushed up first. Considering that this was probably an orphanage, he didn't use any harsh force and just slapped him directly.

However, in a group fight, damage is sometimes not as effective as momentum. The crisp sound of this big slap made the children who were gathered around stop moving, and the child with the slap mark on his face burst into tears.

When one child started crying, the others immediately followed suit. The situation of ten against one instantly turned into a funeral. As the only child standing without crying, Feng Xue suddenly felt that he was somewhat out of place.

"Is this just an opening performance? Will the orphanage teachers come to punish me later?"

Feng Xue was thinking about the possibility of subsequent traps in his mind, but the next moment, the whole world began to collapse, and before he could react, the interface in front of him turned back to the fishbone diagram.

"That's it?"

Feng Xue suddenly felt a little bored, and felt that he had been a little stupid for hesitating for a long time.

But before he could think about it, the settlement interface popped up -

[Operation ends, perfect tactics]

[Node settlement: Fantasy +2]

[Drop extraction in progress...]

[You obtained a seal (purple)]

"A purple item has been revealed?!" Feng Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. Regardless of the fact that this item seemed to have nothing to do with the plot, he immediately checked the item's effects.

Name: A seal

Category: Survival support

Quality: Purple Precious Effect: Fantasy +25
Note: A seal carved from jade, the traces of time seem to be telling the old dreams of the past.

……

"Why is it a survival aid again?" Feng Xue frowned as he looked at the exquisite jade seal picture. He currently has three collections dropped, and all of them turned out to be survival aids (because the dice girl gave three 1s), which made him begin to doubt whether he could only drop survival aids.

But then again, the drop rate of this thing is actually quite high. After all, even ordinary combat can drop purple collections, which is definitely quite conscientious.

Feng Xue, who was satisfied with the explosion rate of the meat pigeon, shifted his attention and looked at the new node, which was another [Normal Battle].

"If only it were as easy as the last one."

Feng Xue muttered to himself, but without hesitation, he clicked on the next node.

[Escape is shameful, but very useful]

The usual warning flashed by, the dark curtain unfolded, and the name emerged -

【Afternoon Nightmare】

"Are they, taking a nap?" Feng Xue regained consciousness and looked around. He found a number of folding beds spread out with children lying on them, some whispering, some sleeping with their eyes closed. Two female teachers walked by quietly, with serious expressions on their faces.

"Although the kindergarten before I traveled through time was also like this, but judging from the appearance of the children around me, they are already seven or eight years old, right? Don't orphanages require elementary school? And these two teachers both have stern faces. I thought they were prison guards patrolling the prisoners! Well, in that case, could it be that the original owner of this body has undergone a subconscious change due to being in prison?"

Feng Xue thought secretly in his heart, but remained vigilant. Although he didn't know where it came from, since it was a "battle", there should at least be a battle taking place... Well, considering the orphans on a snowy night, maybe there were other things that might threaten their lives?
As time passed, more and more children fell asleep. Even Feng Xue felt sleepy from this body, and an intense heart palpitation suddenly broke out.

Along with this feeling of palpitations, there was also a piercing scream like the howling of a female ghost in a horror movie.

Almost instantly, the boys and girls in the room were awakened at almost the same time, screaming and crying one after another. The two patrolling teachers with Sima faces seemed to have finally waited for the stone to fall to the ground, and rushed straight to the source of the sound.

Feng Xue didn't jump up from the bed until then, and ran with his short legs in the opposite direction of the sound. While running, he looked back. Suddenly, a strong impact rushed straight to his brain as if someone had squeezed a tube of mustard into his nose.

The san value at the top of the field of vision was rapidly dissipating like a floodgate opening, and one third of it evaporated in an instant.

Feng Xue, feeling tinnitus and dizziness, turned back quickly, but the dark shadow in his mind could not dissipate.

If I had to say, it wasn't something scary or disgusting, and it wasn't even as scary as some of the things that people who had studied animation for three years could make. But it seemed to be shrouded in a concept called "horror," and just one look at it would fill you with fear.

"Is this the so-called nightmare? I don't know if it's a monster unique to the pigeon world, or some mechanism that exists in the real world. If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, this world is probably more dangerous than I thought!"

Feng Xue's brain was working rapidly, trying to divert his attention to forget the dark shadow in his mind. At the same time, his steps were not at all chaotic. He rushed out of the lunch break room with his two short legs...

When he stepped out of the door of the lunch break room, everything behind him suddenly shrank and finally turned into a gray-white square, leaving only the settlement screen that slowly popped up -

[Operation ended, successfully survived]

[Node settlement: Fantasy +2]

[Drop extraction in progress...]

[You obtained the Seven Wolves Belt (White)]

Name: Septwolves belt
Category: Fighting Stuff

Quality: White ordinary

Note: When the father saw that his son was still alive, he drew out seven wolves.
