Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

"Hehe, you do have some skill after all. You've really gained quite a bit."

Upon seeing the notification message, Lin Yuan chuckled.

It really is true that murder and arson bring wealth and honor!

That's absolutely right, it makes perfect sense. If he hadn't killed those people, when would he have been able to collect the eight Killing Marks?

Of course, this isn't a matter of strength, but rather that Lin Yuan and his group simply can't find any players right now!

After all, the trial area is so large that finding even a few hundred players depends on luck. Lin Yuan and his group were lucky to encounter some players. If someone was unlucky enough to be teleported to some remote corner, they would be even more wronged and might not encounter a single player.

Therefore, Lin Yuan said that killing is still better, as he gained so many killing marks in one go, which is quite a rewarding achievement.

How can honest, gradual accumulation compare to murder and robbery, which lead to instant wealth...

Most importantly, besides the kill marks, there are also items from the players you kill, which is a huge reward.

For example, this time, they encountered some players with decent skills, and the items they had certainly not disappointed Lin Yuan and his group.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at the corpses on the ground. In his eyes, even the disgusting blood and corpses no longer existed; there were only precious props gleaming and waiting for him to pick them up.

"Don't worry, you keep watch for me. If there's any movement around us, just shoot."

Lin Yuan instructed An Xin to keep a close watch on the surroundings, as he didn't want to be ambushed while looting. Having just gone through a battle, he was likely to attract attention by making too much noise.

This is not impossible. Even if the probability is small, we must be wary of someone trying to reap the benefits!

"Okay, don't worry, I'm here. There won't be any accidents." Anxin raised the sniper rifle, her eyes scanning the surroundings. She would fire at the slightest sound, determined to prevent any sneak attacks.

As usual, Lin Yuan approached the corpses and began using his [Shepherd] talent to herd the sheep...

Hu Hu Hu.

Just as Lin Yuan and his group were inspecting their spoils, on a high wall some distance away, a bald man was lying on the wall, trembling all over, his face full of fear, and panting heavily.

That's terrifying! That's terrifying!

Is this even human? How can there be such a terrifying player?!

He was trembling uncontrollably, screaming in his mind, completely terrified.

He was the sniper who escaped from An Xin's grasp.

He had witnessed Lin Yuan's instant kill of his teammate while hiding on the high wall, and was completely terrified by the terrifying strength Lin Yuan displayed. After the old man's death, he immediately fled from the high wall, barely escaping with his life...

The bald man glanced back in terror, then stood up again and fled into the distance. He never wanted to see Lin Yuan, that devil, again...

......

"Damn, how come there's still no talent? I had such high hopes, thinking I could at least gain a talent ability, but it turns out none of the three of them are talent users."

Looking at the corpse at his feet, Lin Yuan muttered a curse under his breath in disappointment.

Clearly, he did not discover any new innate abilities on the corpses of those three people.

This annoyed Lin Yuan. The three were clearly quite strong and looked like talented players, yet he had been mistaken.

Who knew that all of them were so powerful because of their props and skills!

Now, Lin Yuan truly understood a truth: there are very few people with innate talent!

Even some players who seem quite skilled and powerful only possess extraordinary abilities, similar to those with innate talents, thanks to the skills and items they acquire...

"Oh well, looks like I'm just unlucky!" Lin Yuan shook his head, putting his slight disappointment behind him. There was no need to dwell on it too much. He was bound to encounter so many players in this trial sooner or later, and then he would have a chance to gain talent.

There was nothing he could do but console himself with this thought...

Since we didn't get any talent from herding, let's look at other harvests.

Lin Yuan took out the props he had obtained from the corpse and began to examine them carefully.

He obtained two items: a ring from the man in the suit and the book the old man always held in his hand. He didn't get anything of value from the dark-skinned woman.

Lin Yuan guessed that she probably followed the path of melee skills, and all her strength came from the use of skills. She spent all her resources on enhancing and learning skills.

First, look at the ring.

[Ring of the Ice Mage]

[Type: Tier 1 Item (Advanced)]

[Usage Requirements: 11 points in Spirit.]

[Effect: The user gains mastery of an ice-based spell, the Frost Spear, which condenses into a spear to attack the target. The spear possesses spell penetration and a freezing effect.]

Hmm, it's a pretty good offensive item, and this ice spell is very versatile. Not only does it have terrifying penetrating power, but it can also freeze enemies, making it very practical.

Lin Yuan nodded, a satisfied smile finally appearing on his face. Only then did he realize that the man in the suit was able to cast spells thanks to this prop.

Turning a player with no talent into an item capable of casting an ice spell is already quite powerful for a Tier 1 item.

Moreover, the spell's attack power is not weak; if you are hit by the spear, it will definitely pierce through your body and kill you instantly.

Then there's that book, which is what Lin Yuan is most looking forward to. He has witnessed the power of this item before; it actually possesses a heaven-defying ability similar to the power of words becoming law!

The old man, with just a single sentence from this book, banned the use of all firearms and restricted Anxin's most powerful sniping ability.

Although we don't know the specific abilities yet, just from this effect, we can tell how powerful this book is!

Lin Yuan looked at the books with expectant eyes.

Forbidden Books

[Type: Tier 1 Item (Superior)]

[Usage Requirements: Spirit 13]

[Effect: With the help of this item, the user can temporarily create a forbidden zone, state what they wish to prohibit, and the effect will affect everything around them, including the user themselves.]

[Note: Prohibited areas can only affect targets of the same level, and only one item can be prohibited at a time.]

[Note: This recipe has usage restrictions; it can only be used once per day!]
