As the system's voice faded, a gunshot rang out, and Han Qiu, who was about to speak, let out a scream in an instant.
It turned out that the pistol at Han Qiu's waist had accidentally discharged, and the bullet had struck Han Qiu's foot at an angle.
In an instant, a hole appeared on Han Qiu's foot, which was clad in military boots, and blood gushed out, quickly soaking through the shoe and staining the ground.
"Wow, is this guy hitting himself?" Tony said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"The gun went off accidentally!" Yinsen looked bewildered; this was just too unlucky.
Han Qiu was in no mood to care about Tony and the others. The intense pain made him grimace, and he turned to one of his men beside him and yelled, "What are you looking at? Help me out of here and get to the hospital in Gangsa Town!"
"Yes!"
It was only then that his men realized what was happening, and they quickly helped Han Qiu leave the cave.
The iron gate was closed again, and the cave returned to silence.
"What are the chances of this accidental discharge?" Tony asked Yinsen.
"The pistol he used was a Stark Industries product," Yinsen said, rolling his eyes.
"Wow? That's impossible. Stark Industries never produces defective products."
"Or, you could interpret it as divine punishment."
"I accept this explanation."
Ling Yi was utterly shocked.
Good heavens! Is level 1 bad luck this strong? Getting shot directly, and by your own gun no less! And this level of bad luck is only considered level 1?
If it's level 2, wouldn't that be fatal? My system is amazing!
Anyway, this was a very satisfying experience.
Through Han Qiu's reverse test, Ling Yi could confirm two things: first, bad luck would be activated immediately once triggered; second, although level 1 bad luck was very powerful, it still could not bring Ling Yi a sense of security.
If Bald Han Qiu wanted to kill him, even if he was shot in the foot, as long as he didn't die, he could still pose a fatal threat to Ling Yi.
However, this system currently has no way to make itself stronger.
With neither System Shop nor a treasure chest Lottery, simply having a lot of bad luck is clearly not enough to guarantee 100% self-protection.
For the next few days, Bald Han Qiu did not reappear, so Ling Yi stayed in the cave with Stark and the others.
With Ling Yi now in the cave, even if Tony was unwilling and had many doubts about Ling Yi, the construction of the Mark Armor could not be delayed. Therefore, Ling Yi passively learned about the two's escape plan.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi couldn't help in any way.
He has neither physical strength nor knowledge.
Yinsen at least has a PhD in Physics, which can be of great help to Tony.
So, inside the cave, Tony was lifting weights, Yinsen was perfecting calculation formulas on the computer, while Ling Yi was leaning against the iron gate, teasing the two guards at the entrance.
"Ding, sensing Lusa's hostility towards you, absorbing 1 point of Hostility Points."
"Ding! Level 1 Bad Luck has been successfully activated. The target Lusa, will remain in a Level 1 Bad Luck state for 24 hours."
"Ding, sensing Yi'ermosa's hostility towards you, absorbing 1 point of Hostility Points."
"Ding! Level 1 Bad Luck successfully activated. Target Yi'ermosa. You will be in a Level 1 Bad Luck state for 24 hours."
Then Ling Yi heard two gunshots, followed by two screams.
Two unlucky guys, one with a bullet piercing his ear, the other with a bullet piercing his hand.
The gunshots quickly attracted a large number of terrorists, but when they learned the reason for the two men's injuries, they were speechless.
They had no choice but to replace them, assigning two other people to continue guarding the cave, while the rest of the crew took the two unfortunate men and left.
"What did you do?" Yinsen and Tony were both pressed against the iron gate. They had run over after the gunshot and watched the whole farce unfold.
"I feel like I have some kind of ability," Ling Yi said seriously.
Seeing that Yinsen and Tony were both looking at him, Ling Yi coughed and said, "I feel like anyone who harbors hostility towards me is destined to be unlucky."
"Are you kidding me? How could someone have such an ability?" Tony was completely unconvinced.
Yinsen, on the other hand, seemed Yinsen in thought. Unlike Tony Tony had no faith, or rather, whose only faith was in himself.
In comparison, Yinsen believed more that this was divine punishment for these wicked people.
"It's incredible, so I'll continue the experiment," Ling Yi said, pointing to the two newly replaced guards outside the door.
"How do we test it?" Tony asked.
Ling Yi chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth. Tony suddenly shuddered, a bad feeling creeping over him.
Ling Yi slammed his fist on the iron gate and shouted, "Hey, you two ugly bastards at the gate, can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Ling Yi spoke in English, but it was clear that the two guys didn't understand it at all, but Ling Yi still managed to attract their attention.
He started yelling and shouting at Ling Yi.
"Fuck, must eat, Pig, Doug..." Ling Yi rattled off a string of words. Even if they didn't understand English, they knew what "fuck" and "must eat" meant. He then added a series of international hand gestures, including a Ling Yi -Slit Throat and a thumbs-down and pinky-up gesture...
The two terrorists immediately became enraged and raised their guns, aiming them at Ling Yi.
"Ding, sensing Borhan's hostility towards you, absorbing 1 point of Hostility Points."
"Ding! Level 1 Bad Luck successfully activated. Target: Borhan. He will remain in a Level 1 Bad Luck state for 24 hours."
"Ding, sensing Dataimeng's hostility towards you, absorbing 1 point of Hostility Points."
"Ding! Level 1 Bad Luck successfully activated. Target: Dataimeng. This Level 1 Bad Luck status will last for 24 hours."
"Boom!"
The moment the bad luck was activated, a large chunk of dirt suddenly fell from above the two terrorists, hitting them squarely on the head.
Both men were instantly bleeding from head wounds, with one suffering a broken right hand and the other a broken lower leg.
Tony and Yinsen stared at Ling Yi with expressions of utter disbelief, then quickly moved away from Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was speechless. "Only those who harbor ill will towards me will be unlucky. You guys will be fine."
Tony swallowed hard. "Yes, yes, we're friends, we're brothers who've been through thick and thin together."
"I think we might be able to leave here with Ling Yi without even needing your secret weapon."
Tony's eyes lit up. He naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible. He had been trapped in the cave for almost a month, and he really didn't want to continue living like this.
He missed cheeseburgers, he missed sugary drinks, and he missed Pepper Potts.
There was only a filthy stench, unpalatable mashed Potato, and strangely flavored water.
"I don't know the full extent of my abilities; after all, I've only just discovered this myself, and I need more testing."
Ling Yi certainly wanted to leave, but only if he survived.
The only function of this Level 1 system is to Reverse Misfortune.
The power of the "bad luck" ability is currently only manifested in the various "accidents" that happen to the target, but it cannot guarantee Ling Yi's absolute safety.
Therefore, Ling Yi needs to continue the experiment.
Just then, the two unfortunate souls outside the door escaped their predicament and stood up, looking utterly bewildered. Naturally, they didn't believe that the cave collapse was related to Ling Yi.
After all, it was just an accident.
"Hey, you idiot!" Ling Yi gritted his teeth and continued to probe. He needed to know the Limit of level 1 bad luck, or rather, whether the system had any protective measures for him.
Hearing Ling Yi's words, the two unlucky guys were furious. They had just suffered an accident and were in a sorry state. The pain from their wounds made their tempers explode.
The two men, cursing and swearing, raised their guns and pointed them at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi gritted his teeth and made a Slit Throat gesture at the two of them.
The two terrorists were enraged.
The leader had instructed them that Tony Stark was their cash cow and couldn't die, but he hadn't said that this Eastern kid in front of them couldn't die.
One of them Roar fiercely and pulled the trigger.
"Click!"
The gun in the terrorist's hand did not fire a bullet; it seemed to have jammed.
The man frowned as he examined the Charge in his hand, checking the magazine, his face full of doubt.
Then, he aimed at Ling Yi again, his expression ferocious, and pulled the trigger once more.
"Click, click, click!"
A series of firing pins rang out, but the bullet failed to fire.
The man angrily threw away his gun, snatched his companion's gun, and fired at Ling Yi again.
"Click, click, click..."
There was still only the sound of the striking pin...
The terrorist looked utterly bewildered and pointed his gun at the wall next to him.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..." A series of booming sounds, gun muzzles spitting fire, and in the blink of an eye, a large patch of dirt was blown away.
However, when he pointed the gun at Ling Yi again, all he heard was the clicking sound of the firing pin striking the target.
The two terrorists glanced at the guns in their hands, then at Ling Yi, who was grinning at them with a bright smile, and suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
He mumbled something under his breath, threw down the gun, and fled the cave as if his life depended on it.
Ling Yi's back was now completely covered in sweat.
No one can remain calm when facing a gun. Ling Yi was just an ordinary person, so naturally he couldn't either. He was just suppressing the fear in his heart.
Previously, he had maintained a high level of Divine Power, suppressing his fear and keeping his eyes fixed on the gun barrels of the two terrorists. Whenever they made a move to fire, he would turn his body to the side, positioning his shoulder against the gun barrel to avoid vital organs as much as possible.
Although the process seemed perilous, the result was good.
The system is indeed very effective; those who are cursed by the system cannot harm themselves.
"Can you open this Daoist School?" Ling Yi took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Tony.
"Are you sure?" Tony asked, recovering from his shock.
"I want to eat hamburgers, drink cola, and sleep in a Warmth bed. I don't want to stay here for another second," Ling Yi said, kicking away the bucket of water beside him.
"Okay!" Tony couldn't help but swallow.
A few minutes later, he had cobbled together a crudely made bomb.
"I'll go out first, you guys follow behind me," Ling Yi said nervously, wiping the sweat from his palms on his trouser leg.
"I think you should do more testing," Yinsen with some concern, after all, this strange ability was far the Ethereal Void.
"Let's do it first and talk about it later," Ling Yi said through gritted teeth.
"That's right." Tony completely agreed with Ling Yi's words.
"Moreover, that bald leader is most likely not in the base, which presents an opportunity for us."
Yinsen shrugged. He didn't care about life or death. Since his two companions had made their decision, he naturally didn't say anything more.
