Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class-Chapter 141: I... am still waiting for you
(The previous Chapter had some errors in the data. Rover’s overall score was over 6 million, sorry.)
A soul floated in the air, with a perfect figure and a face so beautiful it was suffocating. Although her lower body was that of a spider, it carried an incredibly artistic beauty, as if it were the very masterpiece of creation.
"Human... you dare destroy my body?" the Spidary Queen said, her voice deep and so cold it seemed to freeze everything.
Rover frowned. Although the Spidary Queen was very powerful, right now she was only a soul, so he was not afraid of her.
"So... what do you want?" Rover asked. "You’re already dead anyway, leaving your corpse here is useless. I helped you clean this place up, and not only do you not thank me, you even curse at me. Where’s your morality?"
Selina, Elith: "..."
The Spidary Queen frowned, her gaze fixed on him like sharp swords, as if wanting to pierce through his mind.
"Human, your tongue is quite nimble." The Spidary Queen pointed a finger into the air, and a stream of white smoke shot toward Rover.
At that very moment, the [Eye of Truth] beside him activated.
Whoosh! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
A beam of light shot out and instantly burned away that stream of white smoke.
The Spidary Queen was startled, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Rover.
But then, she seemed to realize something and burst out laughing. "Hahahaha... so that’s how it is! You really are that person’s son..."
Hearing that, Rover frowned and immediately shouted, "What do you mean?!"
The Spidary Queen did not answer, only curling her lips into a smile. "As expected, fate truly is a wondrous thing. I never thought I would actually meet that person’s son."
"What is your name?"
Rover clenched his teeth, then said, "Rover!"
"Rover?! He used a dog’s name for you?"
Rover: "..."
"Alright!" The Spidary Queen waved her hand, and the web that had previously bound her corpse turned into strange symbols, then clung to the wall behind her.
Crack! Crack!
That wall began to tremble violently, then split apart, revealing a small chest inside.
"Consider this a gift from me to you. We will meet again in the future."
Rover gritted his teeth, his face twisting in irritation as he said, "No need to meet again, let’s never meet again for the rest of our lives."
"Hahahaha..." The Spidary Queen turned into countless motes of light, then completely vanished.
Rover frowned and looked toward the place where the Spidary Queen had disappeared, feeling as though his identity was extremely special, it was just that... he did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.
If those special existences in this world could help him because of that, or at least just not attack him, then that would be for the best.
But what he feared most was that if those existences learned of his existence, they would probably only bring danger to him.
Rover cursed inwardly, ’Dad, Mom, just what the hell are you? There’s no need for you to leave me with this pile of trouble.’
He shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore, and his gaze landed on the box in the distance.
His [Intuition] skill did not sense any danger, so he used the [Shadow] ability to check it.
After confirming there were no traps at all, he walked over to the chest. At that moment, an information panel appeared before him.
[Ding! You have discovered a Special Supply Crate. Do you wish to open it?]
"Yes!"
[Ding! You have successfully opened the Special Supply Crate and received:
Relic: Sun and Moon in Unison (Legendary Rank)
Weapon: Sword of Truth (Rank: High-grade)
Nautical Chart (1 / 10)
High-grade Blueprint: Ship
All items have been placed in your backpack. Please check.]
Looking at the information panel, Rover’s gaze focused on two things, the Sword of Truth and the Sun and Moon in Unison.
The Sun and Moon in Unison was a medallion shaped like the sun and moon crossing over each other, radiating an extremely holy glow.
Rover opened the interface for the Sun and Moon in Unison to inspect it.
[Sun and Moon in Unison]
[Type: Relic]
[Rank: Legendary]
[Level: 01]
[Upgrade Requirement: 1,000,000 Omni Points.]
[Description: The man is the Sun, the woman is the Moon. When the two intertwine, mysterious things are born.
Effect: Each time they intertwine, every attribute increases by 50 points, all negative effects are dispelled, and the [Awakening] mark is obtained.
Awakening Mark: There is a 25% chance to obtain this mark after each time the two intertwine. Once 10 marks have been accumulated, one may randomly obtain the bloodline or talent of a race from Rank A to Epic.
Limit: Each person can only receive the intertwining effect once per day.
Note: After using this Relic, the attribute point enhancement effects of all items or cultivation methods will lose their effect.]
Looking at the information panel, Rover felt both happy and troubled.
Happy because the effect this Relic brought was truly enormous. But at the same time, it also came with a disadvantage... if he chose to use this Relic, then he would no longer be able to use cultivation methods, and the attribute enhancement effects from other things would also lose their effect.
However... the benefits were too great. Every day, each type of attribute would increase by 50 points, which meant that every day, each person would gain 100 attribute points.
Along with that came the chance to obtain the [Awakening] mark, which could grant the talent of a random race with a Rank ranging from A to Epic.
Rover thought quickly and decided to keep this Relic. Its potential was simply too great, far surpassing cultivation methods many times over.
[Ding! You have kept the Relic - Sun and Moon in Unison - All item attribute enhancement effects have lost their function. Effects from cultivation methods will lose their function from now on.]
Rover nodded slightly, feeling that this was fine too, no need to spend time cultivating anymore.
"Wait!" Rover was startled and hurriedly opened Selina’s information panel, then let out a sigh of relief. The special effect [Garden of Eden], which increased strength by 100%, was still active.
He frowned, thinking inwardly, ’That means... attribute point increase effects no longer work, but strength enhancement effects still function normally?’
Rover remembered that point, then continued examining the weapon he cared about most.
[Sword of Truth]
[Rank: High-grade]
[Level: 01]
[Upgrade Requirement: 10,000 Omni Points]
[Description: After use, you may automatically become proficient in swordsmanship and all forms of sword-related magic.
Increases combat power by 20% and magic power by 20%, along with the Truth effect.
Truth Effect: Reestablishes the rules, only effective against enemies whose strength does not exceed 100% of your own strength.]
"Reestablishes the rules?" Rover frowned and muttered, "Besides, what does this Sword of Truth have to do with the Eye of Truth?"
He felt that these two things were definitely related to each other. After all, both were items bearing the name [Truth], so there had to be some hidden buff he did not know about.
Setting that matter aside for now, his gaze fell upon the map again. No, more precisely, the 1/10 piece of the map.
It clearly displayed an archipelago, with many islands surrounding it, along with drawings of strange sea monsters and gigantic birds. Farther away were markings for areas where storms and extreme weather phenomena frequently occurred.
Rover sighed. He also did not know where this map led, but if it was something the Spidary Queen had carefully stored away, then it surely had some use.
The final item was the Ship blueprint, but to complete the construction of this ship using only Omni Points, he would need to spend 1 million points.
It was on par with upgrading the Relic Sun and Moon in Unison.
But he did not care too much about it. At present, he had not even gone very far beyond the apartment building, so the idea of going out to sea was something for a very, very, very distant future.
He let out a sigh, his gaze glancing toward Elith.
Elith clearly knew what he intended to do, and immediately raised the gem she possessed with both hands.
Rover frowned as he looked at that gem,
[Blood Storage Gem of the Spidary Queen]
[Rank: ???]
[Absorption Progress: 22%]
[Description: Once fully absorbed, you will become the Spidary Queen, inheriting all of her talents and power.]
[Cannot be upgraded]
Rover saw that it contained the bloodline energy left behind by the Spidary Queen. It was useless to him, so he did not care much about it.
Perhaps it could be used to open doors because it contained the Spidary Queen’s blood.
"Can you turn into a human form?" Rover asked.
Elith pressed her lips together and said a little shyly, "Let me try..."
Immediately afterward, her body began to shrink. Her spider lower half vanished, replaced by a pair of long slender legs, a slim waist, and alluring hips stretched tight beneath the thin dress.
A beautiful body appeared before him, but the signature eyes of the Spidary race were still on her forehead, not gone at all.
"I... I can only manage this much." Elith said.
Rover nodded, his gaze upon her carrying the look of someone admiring a work of art. "Hm..."
Selina also smiled mysteriously at this moment, raising her fist toward Rover as she said with a grin, "Master, you see now, right? Very exciting, isn’t it?"
Rover lightly bumped her fist with his own and laughed. "That’s right, very exciting."
Selina continued, "If she could turn those spider legs into hands, I’m afraid it would be even more exciting, hehehe..."
"Heh?!" Elith covered her chest with both hands and hurriedly said, "That... that wouldn’t be good."
Rover laughed loudly. "Hahaha... just teasing you. Alright, let’s head back. But after we leave, can we still return to this place?"
Elith nodded and said, "Yes! This gem is linked to the anchor point in this area. As long as you want to, you can return here at any time."
Hearing that, Rover nodded. After all, this place was very vast. There were surely still many places he had not finished exploring yet, and many more mysteries or perhaps many items and Relics he had not yet found.
Because of that, he wanted to come back here if he had the time.
"Good! Let’s go back!" Rover said as he tapped the System information panel and then confirmed his departure from this area.
Rover saw the space before him darken, thinking that the System was taking him back to the basement from earlier.
But suddenly, he heard a voice that was both strange and oddly familiar.
"Rover..."
"Rover..."
Rover frowned and tried to look around, but he could not see anything at all. He could only shout loudly in response, "Who is it?! Who’s calling me?"
"Rover, I... am still waiting for you."
