This bug is amazing!

Chapter 201 The Real Benefits of the Nascent Soul Stage Experience Card

"Little girl, do you recognize this?"

Ji Yi took out the invitation and showed it to him.

In the nightmare, Ji Yi's skill bar and inventory are mostly locked, but the [Invitation of the Evil God] can be retrieved.

"What is this?"

The little girl's reaction surprised Ji Yi slightly.

"Why did you take out this dark piece of paper?"

Ji Yi raised an eyebrow: "You don't recognize this one, but you recognize Xiao Hong?"

"So you really do know Sister Little Red."

The little girl ignored the invitation in Ji Yi's hand, her face still smiling, but there seemed to be a hint of coldness in it.

"Heh, I know more than just that. I killed her, and I got that eye from looting equipment."

Ji Yi bent down, a standard villainous smile playing on her lips: "So eager? Then come in and hit me!"

As she spoke, Ji Yi kept making a small gesture with her hands.

He tried putting the invitation into his inventory, then taking it out, putting it in, taking it out again.

As the status of her inventory flickered on and off, Ji Yi was actually trying to take out other items as well.

As he repeatedly performed these meaningless actions, the little girl's face finally began to show anger.

"You succeeded in irritating me."

The little girl stopped laughing, her eyes fixed on Ji Yi with hatred, and her throat began to swell, showing no sign of stopping.

Soon a large lump swelled up on her neck, stretching her delicate skin like a toad, revealing a transparent color after the skin was stretched open.

"Ah~ahhhh~"

At the same time, Ji Yi heard a beautiful voice coming from afar.

But the little girl in front of him didn't open her mouth; she just glared angrily at Ji Yi.

Ji Yi frowned. The little girl was really planning to kill him in his dream. The singing was clearly the little girl's true form coming from outside, targeting Ji Yi.

[It seems she still has a way to deal with you. After all, Miss Cat is far too different from an S-rank ghost story; how could she possibly stop her?]

[By the way, I have to warn you: if the little girl drives you crazy in your dream, you might become a madman when you return to reality.]

Ji Yi remained quite calm upon seeing this.

"Do not be angry, anger will diminish your wisdom."

As Ji Yi spoke, she took out another item from her inventory.

Even Ji Yi couldn't explain the underlying principle clearly, and could only attribute it to a bug.

Due to the special nature of the [Invitation of the Evil God], which can be retrieved in a dreamlike nightmare, Ji Yi tried to explore the possibility of retrieving other items during the process of taking and storing them.

If it were the previous Yangyang instance, it might not have been possible to achieve these things, but in the Nightmare of Strange Sleep, it can be roughly compared to the corners and edges of the game that were not fully defined, and there are many imperfections.

As for what items he took out...
"I've heard that dreams are all fake."

Ji Yi held up the [Nascent Soul Stage Experience Card] in her hand.

"So, the items I consume in my dreams don't actually get used up."

Click!

The cards in his hand shattered like bricks and jade.

The entire pitch-black dream was enveloped by an endless golden light!

Hsieh Chia-yi was panting heavily, her body almost completely soaked in sweat, making the marks from her shoulder straps under her clothes even more obvious.

She tried everything she could to resist the girl's singing, but could only barely manage to stay alive.

The little girl, whose location was unknown, seemed to be playing around. If she were serious, Xie Jiayi felt that she would hardly be able to last a minute under her.

"Am I really going to die here? And this is only the first night."

At this point, Xie Jiayi was still somewhat unconvinced.

In the many nightmare-level dungeons she experienced, she rarely died so inexplicably.

Although the hyperdimensional game is based on a real alternate world, it is still a game after all, with a system and missions.

Under the premise of "game", any plot development must be restricted and intervened by the system in accordance with the gameplay.

Therefore, unless it's a certain dungeon with a mandatory kill requirement, it's rare to die "for no apparent reason".

Isn't that exactly the situation we're in right now?
Logically speaking, she and Ji Yi made the safest and most reasonable choices in every detail.

This, including cutting flesh from her leg, likely prevented Queen S from pursuing her.

But why would she be hunted down by a completely unrelated supernatural tale? What went wrong, or was it simply bad luck?

Possessing both strength and wisdom, how could you lose the entire dungeon simply because of bad luck?

"It must be that Ji Yi passed on his bad luck to me."

Xie Jiayi complained lightly, because the real source of her bad luck was "not eating cilantro," so she couldn't say anything to Ji Yi right now and could only secretly chirp to herself.

"I have 20% of my spiritual energy left. Once it's all used up, then..."

Xie Jiayi glanced at Ji Yi, who had fallen into a deep sleep.

If she uses the [Logout] button to leave the instance, Ji Yi can only die and lose levels.

The difference in rank between those two people will widen again.

I have a feeling of betrayal, as if she abandoned Ji Yi and escaped on her own.

Furthermore, will the sense of loss that Ji Yi feels after dropping a level make her no longer want to team up with [Miss Cat], and instead choose to find [Don't Eat Cilantro]?

After all, the other image she created was that of a smart, beautiful, gentle, and considerate person.

And her own nature.
He has a sharp tongue, enjoys making sarcastic remarks, dislikes stupidity, and has a mean temper.

"Hmm, it seems that it's acceptable for two people to drop a level together."

Hsieh Chia-yi didn't know why she had such a bizarre and outrageous idea in her head, but she thought maybe it wasn't so bad.

"Before exhausting all my spiritual energy, I might as well sacrifice my entire body to the cradle; that way, I can die a worthy death."

Hopefully, the random loot drops upon death won't be a Cradle.
Wait a minute, judging from Ji Yi's luck, it's possible that what she fears most is exactly what will happen.

As she pondered these things, she suddenly realized something.

The singing that was originally directed at her has changed its style and is much less aggressive, as if it wasn't directed at her at all.

After realizing what had happened, she felt a vague sense of unease.

He picked up the Ghost Eye and turned to look at Ji Yi.

But then they saw that Ji Yi's body was filled with a powerful and strange spiritual energy!

"She changed her target!"

Seeing this, Xie Jiayi acted very quickly.

The hand wearing the psionic glove immediately pressed against Ji Yi's chest, and at the same time, "Absorb Enhancement" was activated.

The extra, unfamiliar spiritual energy was quickly absorbed by Xie Jiayi.

The spiritual energy within the body rapidly increased and recovered!
"Since the attack target has shifted to Ji Yi's body, the 'she' inside is unable to resist my absorption. Very good."

Seeing that his spiritual energy was rapidly recovering and would soon fill his entire body.

Hsieh Chia-yi quickly took out another item from her inventory and then activated "Empower Enhancement".

As a common item is upgraded to epic, the spirit power that was about to be fully restored suddenly drops.

Next. "Absorb and strengthen."

She began trying to absorb the external spiritual energy from Ji Yi's body again.

Although the speed is negligible, it should still be of some use.

After alternating between absorption and empowerment, Hsieh Chia-yi quickly realized a serious problem.

The supernatural power of this strange tale was too immense. Even after enhancing all the items he carried, he couldn't stop Ji Yi from being invaded by the supernatural power.

Now even her black safety shorts have become absolutely transparent safety shorts, and she has no more items to enhance them, while her spiritual power is almost overflowing.

If you insist on continuing to enhance items, such as Ji Yi's underwear, it's actually not very meaningful anymore.

As a vessel for the repeated inflow and outflow of spiritual energy, Xie Jiayi's body could not withstand such frequent replenishment and consumption.

She appears to be in excellent spiritual and physical condition now, but that's a different story in reality. If this continues, she might not die from being killed by ghost stories, but from her body breaking apart.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

Now that things have come to this, all is lost.

S-rank ghost stories are ultimately beyond the reach of any player today. If you encounter one that is determined to kill you, then you are simply out of luck.

Just as she was about to give up.

Suddenly, the originally plaintive singing changed its tone for some unknown reason, turning into a sharp howl and sobbing.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The scene suddenly changed!

Xie Jiayi's expression froze: "What...what's going on?"

Shocked, she took out the Ghost Eye and looked at the source of the sound.

This time she could hear the location of the sound clearly, and Ghost Eyes finally saw the target's face.

It was a little girl, who looked no more than eight or nine years old. At that moment, she was covering her head and wailing.

Moreover, perhaps because most of the power entered Ji Yi's body, the little girl is now far less oppressive than she was at the beginning.

Even so
“My combat strength is only six thousand, while hers is at least ten thousand.”

"But she looks completely helpless right now."

Taking advantage of her weakness, Xie Jiayi acted decisively. After confirming the target's location, she transformed into a black cat and rushed towards the crying little girl.

at the same time.

Ji Yi held the little girl by the neck and looked at her with extremely kind eyes.

However, that was just one of his incarnations.

The real Ji Yi was sitting on a futon, her eyes closed, like a statue.

If you ask why this happened...

That was the moment Ji Yi became a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, his skill limit broke the 20-skill limit and became 120.

Moreover, a dazzling array of temporary skills instantly filled Ji Yi's mind. It was as if, in a split second, he had grasped many profound truths and great principles, and he felt a sense of transcendence.

It was at this moment that he finally realized something.

The [Nascent Soul Stage Experience Card] is not just a temporary boost to strength; more importantly, Ji Yi was able to comprehend some knowledge he had never known before in that instant.

This seemingly omniscient experience was wonderful, but Ji Yi also knew that this profound knowledge was only understood within this ten-minute window.

Once the time limit is up, even if Ji Yi can still remember a few words of these profound contents, it will be impossible for him to understand them at his level.

"I underestimated this thing, and luckily I didn't actually use the trial card. This isn't something I should be dealing with right now."

At this moment, the so-called "strange sleep" restriction was no longer there, and those terrifying nightmares were far more ridiculous than childish babbling in Ji Yi's eyes.

He could wake up from the dream at any time if he wanted, but doing so would end his wonderful experience of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Fortunately, I didn't waste it before, so now, I should make sure this 'extra experience' brings me some benefits."

As he spoke, Ji Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, made a hand seal with one hand, and a skill card appeared out of thin air in his hand.

【Name: Three Lights Soul-Slaying Scissors】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: Gathers the essence of the sun, moon, and stars to condense into physical scissors, unleashing a slash at the target's soul, dealing 300% more damage to evil spirits and ghosts]

[Learning Requirements: Spiritual Power ≥ 80]

[Note: This is a powerful divine ability created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, suitable for cultivators with low aptitude and cultivation level to learn.]

"This is for Miss Cat. She'll definitely like it. Consider it a reward for all the help she's given me."

If it were the old Ji Yi, he naturally wouldn't be able to take away what he obtained in the dream, but things are different now.

Truth and falsehood, illusion and reality, are all just a matter of a single thought.

A Nascent Soul cultivator may not be as powerful as some other dungeon bosses in terms of combat strength.

However, their understanding of things must be unique and they possess unexpected supernatural abilities and skills.

"Although it was only ten minutes, I still have a firm grasp on this level of skill and can create many more."

With one hand on each side, another skill card appeared in Ji Yi's hand.

【Name: Five Sacred Mountains True Form Barrier】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: The Void Imprint of the True Forms of the Five Sacred Mountains surrounds the user: ① Mount Tai's illusory image protects the head (immunity to stun); ② Mount Hua's illusory image protects the chest (reflects 30% melee damage); ③ Mount Heng's illusory image strengthens the feet (immunity to knockback); ⑤ Mount Heng's illusory image calms the soul (resistance to mind control); Mount Song's illusory image stabilizes the Qi (restores 1% spiritual power per second). Note: Each effect has its own internal cooldown.]

[Learning Conditions: Schrödinger's Cat]

[Note: This is a high-defense divine ability created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and unique to a certain player.]

"Come again."

Ji Yi made a hand seal with one hand, and a new skill card appeared again.

【Name: Calamity Lotus Burns God】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect 1 "Burning Life": Ignites health and spiritual energy as fuel, causing a crimson lotus of karmic fire to bloom above the head. Consuming 1% of health and spiritual energy per second, it fires forty-nine divine calamity flames at the surrounding area.]

【Effect 2 "Calamity": Calamity ignores defense and leaves behind the "Red Lotus Karma Seal". When the seal explodes, it removes the target's buffs】

[Learning Conditions: Schrödinger's Cat]

[Note: This is a high-burst, high-damage divine ability created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and unique to a certain player.]

"Hmm, one more and they can take me down. Speaking of which, spiritual energy is something you really can't do without. Many spells require it, unless I'm going to do some kind of physical cultivation that uses brute force to overcome all spells."

However, it is clear that for Ji Yi, who is currently at the Nascent Soul stage, he is only more suited to creating spell-based skills, and he knows nothing about body cultivation.

Although there were some regrets, it was still a very rewarding experience overall.

Thinking about it, Miss Cat's last skill was also created.

【Name: Heavenly Thunder】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

【Effect 1 "Lightning Descent": Consumes a large amount of spiritual energy to cause a column of purple lightning to descend from the clear sky】

[Effect 2 "Lightning Strike": Units hit by "Lightning Strike" receive 300% more spell damage.]

[Learning Conditions: Schrödinger's Cat]

[Note: This is a cultivation technique created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator. It is a high-burst, defense-penetrating divine ability unique to a certain player.]
