This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1549 - 667: The Wonderful Ecology of Jie Lin (Part 2)

After resting inside the snail’s belly for five hours, the external howling of the gust slowly ceased.

Mu You glanced outside through the snail’s transparent body. The blade wind had ended, but the weather became more ominously overcast.

The wind is the precursor to rain. According to the hints left by Fool’s Ancestors, following the ’blade wind,’ the ’Time Rain’ would ensue. freewёbnoνel-com

[The giant snail let out a final wail, a cry of agony tinged with a hint of relief.]

[You looked up, and at this moment the snail’s body was riddled with holes from the piercing crystal thorns. Its HP weakened to the extreme, and finally, in that last wail, it found release.]

[The snail’s body melted away like wax, swiftly softening and shriveling up, leaving only the outer shell and a layer of dried transparent membrane.]

[Inside the abdominal space, a multitude of small creatures started to queue out from the deceased snail’s body, each holding an egg sphere in its hand.]

[You were about to leave as well, but the other creatures turned back, staring at your empty hands, anxiously reminding you that you’d forgotten something.]

[You glanced at the ground, noticing many egg spheres still remained, so you casually picked one up. Only then did the other creatures resume holding their egg spheres and queue to leave.]

[Following the creatures, you arrived at the shell’s exit.]

[Above, the sky was densely overcast, and slight rain drops began to fall quietly, initially fine as cowhair, growing clearer as the rain intensified.]

[Raindrops wetted the ground, kicking up an earthy fragrance, as they gradually bounced, creating a layer of mist.]

[The creatures hurriedly exited the shell one by one, scattering swiftly amidst the rain but not moving far off, choosing instead to hide under nearby leaves, rocks, mounds, and other rain-shielding objects.]

[The snail eggs they carried were left on open ground nearby their shelters, allowing rain to soak them.]

[Atop the snail shell behind you, a chrysalis swiftly formed, and a blue butterfly hatched, fluttering into the depths of the forest, leaving only a cracked shell. Would you like to take the Chrysalis?]

"No."

Mu You did not pick up the Chrysalis, knowing the snail shell would disappear if he did, and he needed it to shield against the wind and rain.

Watching the outside actions of the creatures, Mu You was deep in thought.

[You reached out beyond the snail shell, towards the curtain of rain.]

[A few bean-sized raindrops landed in your hand.]

[Warning: Due to the direct exposure of your skin to rainwater, your lifespan is rapidly decreasing.]

Mu You glanced at the lifespan balance on the panel, finding it decreased by seven days instantly.

Just moments ago he caught about seven raindrops, indicating that each drop might consume a day’s lifespan?

At this rate of consumption, directly standing in the rain would mean enduring over a hundred raindrops per second, resulting in about half a year of lifespan lost per second.

With a meager lifespan balance and no immediate shelter, extended exposure to the rain could indeed lead to sudden death.

However, this lifespan consumption isn’t entirely a bad thing.

Mu You discovered that this rainfall doesn’t directly burn lifespan, but accelerates the flow of one’s time. Each raindrop equates to skipping a day on one’s timeline!

Thus, things requiring time to achieve could naturally be completed in this process, like: faith transformation!

Before heading into Jie Lin, Mu You returned to Dawn City to invest 103950 Divinity into the Statues of Gods, raising his star level from Seven Stars to Eight Stars.

These newly invested Divinities needed full conversion into Faith of Order before advancing to Nine Stars.

There are only two ways to transform faith: frantically killing high-star monsters, or relying on the automatic conversion of 5 points per day over sufficient time.

Previously, Mu You needed to brush through over six hundred Eight-Star monsters to complete the faith transformation, which would take months of monster hunting.

But now, with the Time Rain at hand, he can opt for the second method: standing directly in the rain, rapidly transforming his faith as time swiftly passes.

At an automatic conversion speed of 5 points per day, transforming 100,000 faith points would originally take over 54 years.

Now, he merely needed less than two minutes in the rain to complete the process!

With this realization, Mu You decisively led his character out from the snail shell into the rain.

[You remove the Black Angel covering yourself, stepping bodily into the rain curtain.]

[Cold raindrops hit your face and body without hindrance, your lifespan begins to plummet...]

Mu You observed the panel, noting the current rate of lifespan reduction at about 150 days per second, exceeding a year in a little over two seconds.

Meanwhile, the ’faith transformation’ section on the panel indeed began soaring upwards at a rate of seven to eight hundred points per second!

Two minutes later, Mu You’s lifespan had decreased by 55 years, yet the 100,000+ Divinity of Eight Stars had entirely transformed into Faith of Order in this short interval. Now, he just needed the character to return to Dawn City to advance to Nine Stars at any time!

This was undoubtedly an unexpected delight, as before entering Jie Lin, Mu You hadn’t anticipated encountering such a mystical rain, saving him several months of monster hunting time.
