My Life is a literal「Life」stream!-Chapter 14 - 10000000x misfortune VS 10000000 good fortune!
"Fuu..." Xiao Shen sighed deeply. He remembered a saying he had read in a novelkiss before and found it extremely suited to his current situation:
If you dare to trust the strength of higher existences, do not dare to trust in their benevolence!
The existences watching him were powerful enough to literally change his body constitution whether he consented or not.
They could increase his strength at will, increase his speed, gift him techniques, and all that.
Heck, someone had gifted him a lightning bolt earlier when he was battling a Jiangshi!
From their gifts and encouragement, he had assumed that they liked to help him.
However, it seemed like not all of those existences could be considered friendly and some of them enjoyed watching him suffer!
Why else would someone increase his speed at such a crucial moment?!
Why would someone gift him misfortune?!
Why was misfortune a gift, even!
"For every good thing, there must be a corresponding bad thing, I guess." Xiao Shen chuckled lightly as he adjusted his state of mind.
Whether some existences wanted him dead, or not, he would still not give up on a chance at an extraordinary life!
He replayed the moments before his demise in his mind over and over again, until the immediate picture of the landscape was cemented in his mind.
He had died because his ’ten time use’ of the Iron Bone technique had expired last time. So, the solution this time was simple: Be shameless and ask for another!
After making his decision, Xiao Shen reached out his inexistent hands and connected with the clock closest to him.
WHOOSH!
The wind blew against his face like a hurricane.
This time, however, he used his 200x strength to forcibly come to a stop.
SCREECH ~
His feet dug trenches in the ground as his body came to a stop.
"Fuu... I pulled it off." Xiao Shen heaved a sigh of relief as he leaned against a tree.
The next second, the familiar message appeared in front of his face.
«[[Iron Bone technique has expired!]]»
"Heh." Xiao Shen chuckled lightly to himself.
A dose of ’Death-cheating-amol’ had begun running through his veins!
[Eh? Anchor, why did you stop?!]
[Tired already? Pathetic!]
[Anchor definitely has his reasons for stopping...]
The next second, there was a loud rumble as the ground in front of him caved in once more.
Xiao Shen nodded his head and casually walked around the crater, before proceeding to lightly jog his way through the forest.
At this point, however, the bullet chats was exploding with messages.
[Anchor is too smart!]
[CHEAT! HE’S CHEATING, I SAY!]
[@###, You’re pathetic! Just because he pulled off a feat that you couldn’t do, you’re trying to wave him off as cheating!]
[Who said I can’t do it?! In his time, this daddy cleared all the craters!]
[And died at the last one...]
[@###, Do you want me to beat you to death?!!!]
[How is he still alive?! (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻]
[Anchor is too cool!]
[666!]
[Anchor’s luck is really good!]
[666 x2]
[666 x3]
[666 x4]
Xiao Shen noted the words ’in his time’ said by the particular user who had been saying that he was cheating, which made him wonder whether these existences had once walked the earth.
If so, then who were they?
However, he threw it to the back of his mind since he currently had no one to ask, and no one to answer him at the moment. He dodged another tree and, luckily, happened to avoid a new crater that had appeared right beneath the tree.
Finally, he could see bright light once more as the dense forest canopy began to space out.
He smiled, panting slightly, as he looked up at the sky and cupped his fists.
"The end of the forest is in sight, guys, and it’s all thanks to your support! The journey is half done, and your strength and speed are needed for this final push! Oh, please don’t forget to support with resilience! I can’t do this without you!"
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief as he could finally stop measuring his strength.
«[x10 strength has expired!]»
«[x2 strength has expired!]»
The 200x speed boost that had caused his death multiple times had finally expired!
A few seconds after, more and more screens appeared as multiple existences commented in the bullet chat.
[Anchor is super cute, rocking that post-exercise look!]
[### has gifted x2 speed boost]
[A journey well begun is already half done!]
[### has gifted x5 calcium density]
[The only look Anchor would rock is a post-mortem one! Die!]
[### has gifted x10000000 misfortune!]
[Why the hell are you trying to bully MY Anchor?!]
[### has gifted x10000000 good fortune!]
[A mere mortal is undeserving of participating in 「Life」stream! How dare he live this far?!]
«[### has gifted intense dizziness!]»
"What the actual f*ck?!" Xiao Shen cursed out loud as he became severely disoriented. Up became down, left became right and the whole world started spinning as though he were experiencing vertigo.
BOOM!
The ground shook and caved in right where he was, just as he became dizzy and fell to the floor.
This was the effect of 10000000x misfortune!
However, as he fell, the edge of the crater broke apart and became an avalanche pouring into the center of the crater. Xiao Shen was on top of a fairly large stone that bounced around the other rocks and mud and was safely swept up to the centre of the crater.
«[### has gifted Anchor resistance to dizziness!]»
A new comment on the bullet screen brought him back to his normal state as he shook his head and looked behind him.
There, the rocks had aligned themselves from the largest to the smallest, forming a staircase of rocks that went all the way over to the top of the crater!
This was the effect of 10000000x good fortune!
