[Luck Value 100]

Chapter 4 [Luck Value -100]

The Weird Doll Sugar had actually become Chen Ji's playmate!

Seeing this scene,

Chen Ji was completely dumbfounded.

Fortunately, the Weird Doll was no longer dangerous!

He could also use the Weird Doll to further understand this mysterious universe!

Had Chen Ji truly arrived in the Nightmare Dimension?

That was only one of his speculations, and he had never obtained solid proof.

Then, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he immediately opened his personal Entry Panel.

[Name]: Chen Ji

[Identity]: Apprentice Mage

[Talents]: Total Recall (Green), Martial Arts Master (Green), Minor Affinity (Green), Fortune in Misfortune (Green), Nightmare Bound (Black), Extreme Bad Luck (Gray).

[Luck Value]: -100

[Extreme Bad Luck] (Gray): Because of your reckless actions, you have received the price you deserved. For the next period of time, bad luck will accompany you.

"What?"

Chen Ji froze.

He immediately found it absurd!

This Luck Value thing...

Could actually go negative?

A gray talent!

Why was there even a gray talent?

"Could it be..."

"Gray talents are temporary talents?"

"They only exist for a short time?"

Chen Ji's eyes shifted.

He seemed to suddenly understand!

So talents were divided into temporary talents and permanent talents.

According to Chen Ji's guess, if he could not obtain Luck Value in time and turn his Luck Value from negative to positive,

then the gray talent [Extreme Bad Luck] would also become fixed on his Entry Panel!

"This is ridiculous!"

"Who the hell designed this cheat...?"

"Are they even leaving me a way to survive?"

"In the Weird World, who am I supposed to get Luck Value from?"

Chen Ji's expression darkened.

So far, he had only figured out one way to obtain Luck Value.

That was to compete and spar with characters from the shows.

And his act of plundering Fortune would not affect the characters themselves.

But now, he was in a difficult spot.

The Weird World

had none of the characters he knew!

The Weird Doll before him did not look like it could provide Luck Value either.

"Looks like... I can't casually name things in the future."

"Huh."

"Wait!"

"If Weird creatures can consume Luck Value, can they also provide Luck Value to me?"

Chen Ji's eyes lit up.

He could not kill creatures from the Weird World.

But the Weird Doll definitely could!

Sugar was a genuine Intermediate Aberration!

"Sugar."

"How did you live before you met me?"

Chen Ji's thoughts turned, and he hurriedly asked.

"I..."

"I often wandered around. Whenever I encountered weak Aberrations, I would eat them..."

"And I was afraid of being eaten by powerful Aberrations..."

"Before I met Big Brother, I was almost eaten too. I only escaped after fighting desperately..."

The Weird Doll Sugar picked up the scalpel from the ground. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, immediately rolling down like tiny pearls.

She had used that very scalpel to chop off her own legs!

That showed just how much Sugar had suffered.

Chen Ji listened silently.

From Sugar's words, he keenly caught two crucial pieces of information!

The Weird World followed the primitive law of the jungle: the weak were prey to the strong, and Survival of the Fittest.

Different Aberrations also regarded one another as prey!

Moreover, Aberrations continuously grew through this behavior.

And the nourishment required for that growth might be Fortune!

But why had Sugar not attacked him?

Suddenly,

Chen Ji understood again!

[Minor Affinity] (Green): You possess considerable magical talent, allowing you to easily master certain mysterious spells. You will also be favored by spiritual creatures.

"The key lies in... the favor of spiritual creatures!"

"It certainly isn't common for a Weird Doll to possess intelligence!"

Chen Ji's eyes flickered, and he immediately felt somewhat reassured.

After that, he continued asking Sugar about the many secrets of the Weird World.

But Sugar shook her head.

"I don't know either..."

"I don't know how I came to this world. I only know that everywhere else is dangerous."

Well then!

That was useless!

Chen Ji scratched his head.

Sugar's mental age was only three.

That was both good and bad.

It seemed he could only take things one step at a time for now.

Chen Ji smiled and softly comforted her.

"Sugar."

"I'll come to this world every day. Will you wait for me here from now on?"

Sugar broke into a smile at his words.

"Okay!"

"If Aberrations hurt Big Brother, Sugar will definitely take care of them!"

"Pinky promise!"

"Seal it with a stamp!"

Chen Ji bent down and held out his little finger.

Sugar paused slightly, then copied Chen Ji's movements. Their thumbs gently pressed together.

Sugar felt delighted inside.

Even her scarlet eyes brightened a little.

Chen Ji gripped his bat tightly and once again tried to explore the Fog of War, slowly walking forward.

His expression was filled with vigilance.

He could not kill Aberrations, but Aberrations could kill him!

But just then,

Meow!

A grotesque creature with rotting skin, patchy bare fur, and a gaping bloody maw suddenly sprang out of the grass, its fangs gleaming sharply!

It lunged straight for Chen Ji's carotid artery!

"Fuck!"

"It really came out of nowhere!"

Chen Ji's pupils contracted sharply.

Then, he abruptly stepped back, tilted his body, and swung the bat with all his strength!

He sent the Weird feral cat flying with a single blow!

The feral cat twisted in midair and landed steadily. Its ghostly green eyes flashed with bloodlust as it arched its back, revealing its ferocity.

But Chen Ji remained calm as hell!

[Weird Cat Demon]

[Level]: Low-Level Aberration

[Entries]: Nocturnal Creature (White), Beast Instinct (White), Fear of Flames (Gray).

[Nocturnal Creature] (White): It is naturally cautious and alert, appearing only at night. Its abilities are slightly enhanced.

[Beast Instinct] (White): Once it feels hungry, it will launch frenzied attacks. If it senses danger, it will immediately flee.

[Fear of Flames] (Gray): It means exactly what it says, unless you can't read.

"A Low-Level Aberration!"

"...It has a gray talent too?"

"Looks like this Weird Cat Demon once fell into a fire?"

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

His green talent, [Martial Arts Master], was enough to ensure he remained undefeated.

But he had yet to figure out how to kill Weird creatures.

That was why he had been obsessively studying the Book of Arcane Arts.

After all, there was an immortal saying in Uncle Long's Adventures!

Only magic could defeat magic!

And since he had not established contact with another dimension yet, he naturally could not cast the 'Ring of Ragadol'!

"Big Brother."

"I'll protect you."

Sugar gripped the scalpel and shot forward with a whoosh.

A dazzling cold glint flashed past.

The Weird Cat Demon before them immediately died!

Its head and body separated.

Before dying, it widened its eyes and glared viciously at Chen Ji!

Sending a chill down Chen Ji's spine.

"Every debt has its debtor, so don't hold a grudge against me!"

Chen Ji silently thought.

Before his words had even faded,

he heard a crisp, pleasant system announcement.
