A Lousy Resurrection

In the pitch-black cave, with only a faint light shining from above, a girl named Vera stood before Feng Xue's corpse, holding a bloodstained water pipe in her hand.

"What?! I thought you had some special ability..." Vera looked at Feng Xue, who seemed truly dead, with a strange expression, and finally could only shake her head.

"But thanks to you, I think I do understand what killing intent is now, Teacher Feng Xue. I will remember your name."

After Vera left, something inside Feng Xue's body began to pulsate slowly.

The garbage heap began to tremble, and the cracks in Feng Xue's body, whether tiny or obvious, were rapidly healing.

Suddenly, just like a classic scene in countless zombie horror movies, the garbage heap that served as the tomb abruptly collapsed. Feng Xue instinctively assumed a defensive stance, then opened his eyes, slightly dazed. After a brief silence, he finally came to his senses—

"That brat, I thought he'd hesitate a little, but I didn't expect kids from the Garbage Mountain to be so decisive in killing. But speaking of which, so this is what death feels like... I died too quickly last time, didn't even have time to properly experience it... Tsk, he clearly has a considerable understanding of death, but he didn't awaken anything like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception..."

Feng Xue muttered incessantly, like a complete novice who had just finished an extreme sport, but her body didn't stop rummaging through the cards. Sure enough, in the card pack containing the [Graveyard] element (note, it was just a False Thing), she found the card that was on cooldown.

Name: Phantom Object - The Grave of Resurrection

Elements: [Resurrection], [Regeneration], [Cards], [Trap]

Description: When a friendly target dies in battle, the player can revive the fallen player from their grave. Correspondingly, an enemy unit will also be revived in the enemy camp at the same time.

Note: This does not revive dead enemy units, but rather transforms the revived unit into an enemy unit.

"But who knows what kind of weird stuff might revive in this garbage dump..." Feng Xue quickly tidied up her equipment, stood up, and was about to leave.

The biggest advantage of the card [Grave of Resurrection] is its Trap Card feature. Unlike cards like Monster Resurrection, which directly target a dead object, it can be activated while the card is still alive. As long as the card dies and there are no other targets available, it can be used automatically, making it possible to revive itself.

However, this card also has a major drawback: it revives an enemy unit.

As the note says, it doesn't resurrect an enemy unit from the enemy camp, but rather randomly resurrects a unit and then locks it as an enemy unit.

When he first created this card, in order to ensure that its resurrection function would work on [Nothingness], he specifically tested it with collected corpses. The result was that two corpses were resurrected at the same time, and the "enemy unit" that was the resurrected accessory went crazy and chased after the resurrected Main Body to attack.

"Fortunately, there shouldn't be any targets for resurrection in this cave... Oh well, tomorrow's Garbage Day, I have to get out of this awful place as soon as possible." Feng Xue recalled the information Vera had given him and immediately felt a headache coming on.

The main reason he changed his mind and let Vera kill him was not only because he had gained new insights into "entering the realm of the Entering God State," but also because Vera mentioned the Garbage Day.

As everyone knows, Garbage Day isn't just about garbage; it also means a large number of unwanted things will travel to this world. But for Garbage Mountain, this day also represents another meaning—

The Garbage Dump will be shut down.

Whether it's the four major Landfill Area or ordinary Landfill Area, they all ultimately rely on a special Garbage Dump to continuously decompose the waste. This decomposition force of the Garbage Dump is the core reason for the collapse of the Garbage Mountain.

For ordinary Landfill Area, the closure of the Garbage Dump means that scavengers can enter the Garbage Dump to collect garbage, while for Garbage Mountain, this day means that there will be no Ground Collapse or landslides.

In other words, on this day, a village like Vera's, built around a "landslide-prone area," was essentially without any natural barrier. Those greedy Slave Catcher would thoroughly search and explore every area they wouldn't normally dare to go to. Given Feng Xue's semi-crippled state, she would obviously only be captured and enslaved.

Feng Xue wasn't afraid of being captured by outsiders because they didn't understand supernatural Weird Tale or the concept of nothingness. As long as they could offer some benefit, creating an opportunity to escape would be incredibly easy.

However, Feng Xue was extremely wary of the organizations in Infinite City that had Weird Tale as their upper echelons, because their very existence was a product of the Infinite City system.

Although Feng Xue has a decent Golden Finger, it's at most a more "convenient" forging ability, and it's not irreplaceable. This means that he has no bargaining power in front of those organizations, and once he falls into their hands, he will basically have no chance to turn the tables.

Not to mention that, compared to Real Worlder, the Infinite City also possesses something as daunting as contracts.

"Everything is still here, but I didn't even search for 'Mini Spicy'... Hmm, maybe I'm planning to leave it here for now and search for it slowly after the Garbage Day is over?" After a short while, Feng Xue checked his equipment and immediately stood up. But as soon as he made this move, a strong sense of crisis suddenly exploded in his mind.

Feng Xue, who had been on guard against the so-called "hostile target," activated her "Ghostly Evasion" ability almost instantly. As her body turned into shadow, the flashing red light in the darkness also came into his eyes.

Blanch!

The moment Feng Xue saw the red light, he almost instinctively cursed. In fact, he hadn't even been able to see what it was yet, but putting everything else aside, its height of just over twenty meters was enough to warrant Feng Xue's outburst of profanity.

The red light gradually spread throughout the cave, revealing the Main Body of the light: a colossal construct over twenty meters tall, its entire body covered in armor with menacing spikes, exhibiting characteristics of both medieval knight armor and futuristic mechanical creation.

Feng Xue knew that this thing had probably been resurrected along with him. The only reason he could think of for it to be moving now was the setting of "the Grave of Resurrection" where both resurrected entities were "in a defensive posture."

"So, it's because I changed the form of representation without permission that I attracted this thing's attention?" Feng Xue watched as this behemoth, over twenty meters tall and weighing countless tons, stood up. He immediately abandoned any thought of fighting it. At the same time, in his mind, he added another item to his future combat setup—

"They also need the ability to deal with large monsters!"

I've written one chapter so far. I wonder if I'll check on my health tomorrow at noon.
