Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 230 Heaven-Shaking Arrow (Thanks to reader 160719153325026 for the extra chapter)

This is also the highest quality item Zhou You has ever seen after experiencing so many dungeons.

It should be noted that even the evil demon, who wreaks havoc in the Buddha's heart, is only 'silver' in quality after its liberation.

This special item is a level higher than the Duanxie after liberation. Naturally, its effects are also extraordinary.

"Sky-Shaking Arrow"

"Special Item (This item does not normally appear in the reward list, but it is added as a special reward because the player defeated Dorok, prevented Maitreya's descent, and achieved a special ending.)"

"Quality: Red".

"Effect 1: This arrow can be fired as a normal arrow. In this case, it is considered a purple exorcising arrow that can be used indefinitely. It will not be damaged under any circumstances and will automatically return to the holder's hand 15 seconds after being fired."

"Effect 2: This arrow can also be fired as a consumable. When this effect is selected and it is not charged, it has the characteristics of slaughter (damage is always constant and maximum), annihilation (can damage any unit, including but not limited to spirits and gods), severance (attack attribute is always countered), and unrecoverable (disappears after hitting an enemy)."

"Effect 3: This arrow can also be charged when it is used as a consumable. It can be enhanced by consuming lifespan or certain special items. Each second of charging consumes eight years of lifespan, but in return, the arrow's destructive power will be greatly enhanced. When the charging time reaches fifteen seconds or more, this arrow will additionally possess the 'Extinction of All Laws' property (destroying all protective abilities and items, directly targeting the root of all things)."

[Among the relics of the Yellow Emperor were the Qiankun Bow and the Zhentian Arrow. The Qiankun Bow has long been lost, and the Zhentian Arrow has been worn down to only one remaining over thousands of years.]

Exchange requirement: 5500 Soul Stones!
Its power is terrifying, but it also has many limitations, especially since it requires consuming lifespan to amplify its maximum power.

Unfortunately, what Zhou You lacks most now is lifespan.

So, how should I choose?
After much deliberation, Zhou You made his final choice.

The first, and most important, is this Heaven-Shaking Arrow.

The reason is simple: he had used up all three incense sticks he had offered on Buddha's Birthday, and now he had nothing left that could be considered a trump card. Moreover, this was only a moderately corrupted script, yet it already featured Maitreya—albeit before he became a Buddha—but who knows what terrifying things might appear later? He needed to have a way to confront or even kill it.

Now that he had acquired the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, he also needed to obtain the corresponding Moon-Severing Bow, which cost him 10000 Soul Stones. Considering his somewhat lacking basic attributes, Zhou You also exchanged for the talents 'Heavenly Eye' and 'Blessing of Badu Luo'. Finally, looking at his remaining 1000-plus points, he did not choose 'Unwavering Perseverance' but instead exchanged for the wine gourd that had helped him and Cai Yuankui many times.

"The Wine Immortal's Gourd"

"Quality: Purple".

"Effects: The wine has the effects of stimulating potential, eliminating fatigue, and healing wounds. The wine in the gourd can be replenished by refilling, but the wine added must be of grade B or above, otherwise the gourd will temporarily lose all its supernatural properties."

Three cups lead to the Great Way, a jugful brings one into harmony with Nature. Enjoy the pleasure of wine, but let it not be shared with those who are sober.

As for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I don't have the level of discipline that a Zen master would maintain, nor do I have the ability to complete the game without killing a single person, so I had no choice but to give up.

At this point, the script was finally settled. However, just as Zhou You had finished collecting all the items he had redeemed, a series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded on the door.

"Who could it be so early in the morning? Maybe it's someone collecting the water bill?"

Zhou You subconsciously complained—but he immediately realized that the knocking wasn't coming from outside, but from his own bedroom door.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

He walked over, took down the talisman hanging on the door, and then saw a face filled with resentment. His roommate was looking up at him, holding a rice bowl, with tears in her eyes.

While sorting through the loot, Zhou You had specially escorted her out of the bedroom to prevent anything from suddenly appearing and hurting the little one. He then sealed the door with an evil-slaying spell, intending to let her in after the inventory was complete. However, due to the sheer volume of items, it took time...
Forehead.
In short, I forgot.
Seeing the little girl who had already cried from anger, Zhou You coughed awkwardly a few times, then quickly stepped aside, thinking of letting her in first.

"Hey—oh right, it seems like your favorite elementary school shinigami is about to start airing. Why don't you come in and check it out? I'll go turn the TV on for you."

However, the other person still pouted, as if to emphasize it, and banged the rice bowl in their hand hard again.

Zhou You looked up and realized that it was already almost noon—almost lunchtime.

Only then did he realize he was also a little hungry, so he patted the little ghost's head, went to the kitchen, found some pots and pans, and started preparing lunch.

"What should we eat today? Braised beef noodles with an egg and ham?"

The female ghost floating behind shook her head with all her might.

"Are you tired of this? How about the spicy flavor?"

He shook his head even more violently.

"Spicy flavor is no good either. Looks like you want something milder, like the shrimp and fish cake noodles?"

I strongly disagree.

"So you want something imported? How about Shin Ramyun? But that's a bit expensive. Never mind, consider it an apology. I'll go to the supermarket."

The female ghost's head was almost shaped like a rattle drum.

Seeing this, Zhou You could only helplessly spread his hands.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Should I try cooking again?"

however.

The moment I heard these words.

This time, the female ghost stopped shaking her head and leaped three zhang away to the other side of the room. There, she curled up in a corner, her face filled with terror, trembling with fear.

It's not her fault.

A few days ago, Zhou You got tired of eating instant noodles and thought that takeout was too expensive, so he ordered some food through a group-buying platform, wanting to try cooking something himself.

What's extremely strange is that even though the recipe was found online and the cooking process was followed exactly as shown online, the final product turned out differently.
Well, anyway, Zhou You himself didn't mention it, but after the female ghost ate that lump, she was so shocked that she almost died on the spot.

After thinking it over for a while, the female ghost finally made up her mind, tugged at Zhou You's sleeve, and gestured.

"What? You're going out to buy groceries and planning to cook?"
