Chapter 4 The Scourge Is Myself!
"Alas, forget it, I don't want to think so much. I'm dying of hunger now, so I'll find a way to get out of this hellish place. ”
A gurgling sound interrupted Zuo Si's thoughts.
He hadn't eaten a serious meal in days.
The food stored in the warehouse rotted and deteriorated under the dual action of corpses and the plague, emitting a pungent stench.
Not to mention eating, even if you get close to smell the smell, you can't help but spit it out.
However, in order to alleviate his hunger, Zuo Si still carefully took out a small paper bag from his satchel, opened it, took out a crystal clear sugar cube and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and felt the sweetness coming from the tip of his tongue.
This bag of candy was originally a small gift from a young and beautiful sixteen-year-old female apprentice more than two months ago in order to please him, the most favored disciple of the tower master.
Because it happened to be in the tooth replacement period and didn't like sweets very much, I was lucky enough to stay until now, and it became the only thing that can be used to satisfy hunger and replenish energy.
After all, except for Asta, there was no third person who knew Zuo Si's real age, and all of them regarded him as a child less than ten years old.
Since this kind of misunderstanding can bring him a lot of additional benefits and conveniences, he has no intention of correcting it.
Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the plague, the likable female apprentice soon became the first to die.
For this reason, Zuo Si was sad for a while.
Until he unexpectedly discovered that he was actually the source of this plague......
Is it me?
Zuo Si couldn't have dreamed that he could cause the deaths of thousands of people with just one sneeze, and let such a powerful magical civilization go to extinction.
Thankfully, he found out that he doesn't always release mutated bacteria and viruses into his surroundings.
When the body remains healthy, the immune system will enter into an extremely subtle and complex state of symbiosis with it, like playing a "cat and mouse game".
Neither saliva, blood, nor excrement is infectious.
But once you get sick, these viruses and bacteria, which are suppressed by the immune system, will immediately become active, and at the same time multiply and grow at a rapid rate, and eventually evolve into a terrifying plague that will sweep through all life around you.
As the sugar melts in the mouth and travels down the esophagus into the digestive system to be converted into the energy necessary for the body, the intense hunger pang does not subside, but becomes more intense.
In desperation, Zuo Si could only coax the digestive system with half a glass of water, and quickly took a step out of the eerie basement to the windowsill of a common room located in the middle of the tower.
After feeling the proportions of the various energies in his surroundings for a moment, he immediately pulled out a blank card engraved with mysterious symbols, and used the power of sparks to extract all the mana in the mana pool.
Moment!
The sky of the Floating City, which was originally shrouded in negative energy and slightly dim, suddenly seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand.
Piercing pillars of light descended from the sky above the tower!
Rumble!!!!!!!
With such a strong infusion of energy, the blank card gradually emerged with patterns and words.
【Land Card: Floating City Tower】
[LV2 Colorless Card (Upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Normal]
[Effect: When the card is in effect, it can directly provide three universal mana points per day, one black mana, and can also be bound to the creator's profession.
In any other magical world, this class can recover mana normally and use its full abilities]
[You don't need to consume mana to use this card]
[If the effect of this card is destroyed or destroyed by other magical forces, it will automatically enter the graveyard and wait for rebirth for ten days]
[Note: The generic mana in the lands can be used in place of any other mana.] Black mana represents swamp, decay, decay, and death, and is mainly used to make and use black cards.
"Use lands! Permanently bound to the Creator class! ”
After confirming the effect of the card, Zuo Si chose to activate it without hesitation.
Next Second......
The glowing card vanished without a trace.
He himself immediately felt a channel of energy, tightly connected to his own spark.
With the help of this energy channel, you can get a steady stream of energy from the tower of the floating city under your feet.
Of course, the cost is that the newly filled mana pool becomes 0/100.
There really isn't a drop left.
"Not easy! With this land, I can finally run away with peace of mind. ”
Seeing that the land card had already taken effect, Zuo Si let out a long breath.
He was very worried that he had worked hard in this world and finally advanced to the LV5 creator profession, but in the end, because he didn't have a land card binding, he was completely invalid when he fled to other magical worlds.
You must know that some of the magical items and strange things he makes, once he loses his creative career, will immediately become unusable, or become very dangerous.
At the same time, the pages floating in front of me also changed a little.
[Current Mission 1: Craft a Land (Completed)]
【Brigade Mage Class Upgrade Unlock】
[New Mission: Escape from Desperate Situation (Reward 3 Gacha Chances)]
"Escape from a desperate situation? And also reward three card draws? It seems that the upper passage to the space-time portal is full of dangers that threaten my life. Zuo Si stared at the changes in the taskbar on the page, frowning.
It is important to know that the number of bonus gacha opportunities is often directly related to the danger of the mission.
Generally speaking, missions that are not very dangerous will only give one chance to draw a card.
Even a quest like making lands, which can expose serious consequences, only gives two draws at best.
Therefore, the task of giving three card draws in one go must definitely be fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si immediately used the two card draws he had just obtained.
I saw a huge turntable appear out of thin air on the page, and countless cards began to rotate around the turntable at high speed.
Since the cards are all on the back, he doesn't know what the cards really are.
As the speed slows down and finally stops, the two cards closest to the hands of the wheel suddenly flip over, one of which glows white and the other emits a black mist.
[Creature Card: Human - Light Soldier]
[LV1 White Card (Upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Normal]
[Effect: Summons a soldier with LV5 warrior level.]
The soldier may be a melee unit wearing chain mail, a metal helmet, a short sword, and a foreskin shield, or a leather-clad archer armed with a bow and arrow.
Whether it's a melee or ranged unit, it can understand any language you speak, and obey every command given to you until you are killed or your summons are canceled.
[To use this card, you need to pay 2 white mana points that symbolize plains and positive energy, or 2 universal mana]
[When the summoned soldier is killed, the card automatically enters the graveyard to wait for rebirth for one day]
【Magic Card: Blight】
[LV2 Black Card (Non-Upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Rare]
[Effect: When the card is activated, it can release a large cloud of death full of negative energy to any designated location with a distance of no more than 30 meters, for a duration of 30 seconds.]
All creatures that inhale the poison cloud will quickly wither, decay, and die of their bodies and internal organs, regardless of whether they are friends or foes.
As for the speed of death, it depends on the creature's size, magic resistance, and vitality.
However, undead creatures are not only completely immune to the spell, but also slowly regenerate health within the radius of the withered magic.]
[To use this card, you need to pay 3 universal mana, or 3 black mana]
[When the withering spell ends, the card automatically enters the graveyard to be reborn for two days]
"A normal creature card and a rare magic card? The results of this gacha are not bad. At least much stronger than the previous ones. ”
Zuo Si looked at the two newly obtained cards in his hand, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Obviously, in terms of card drawing, his luck definitely does not belong to the category of "European Emperor", but it also has nothing to do with "non-chiefs".
It belongs to the kind of "conservation of character" that is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
What's more, Zuo Si has inherited this "legacy".
The number of cards in it is always limited, and even if you can't draw a powerful card now, you will be able to draw it one day.
