Chapter Thirty-Six: Losing others to benefit oneself
Soon after the last 32-to-16 match between Xiao Xiao and Quanzhen Huang Ming ended, the list of 16 strangers who can participate in tomorrow's game also appeared in front of everyone.
However, until now, no one knows who they will face tomorrow.
The places for the competition among the top 16 will be decided by drawing lots by several top ten players, and the drawing time is scheduled for tonight.
Putting aside the situation of the lottery draw on the Shi Lao side, someone on Lu Linglong's side found Jiang Xin first.
"Brother Jiang, are you free tonight? We have organized a bonfire party, and some other contestants will be there at that time. Would you like to come and relax too?"
Jiang Xin looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Thank you for letting me know, I will go when the time comes."
Just walking on the road, Jiang Xin saw many people from Yao Xing Club holding microphones, and they were catching some contestants passing by and interviewing them.
If you didn't know better, you would really think that Yao Xing Club is just an ordinary newspaper organization from the alien world.
But Jiang Xin knew that the real person behind Yao Xing Club was a strange woman named Qu Tong - a strange person who might have mastered one of the eight magical skills, a pair of hands.
These strangers from Yao Xing Club who were busy interviewing looked no different from ordinary strangers, but in fact, with the ability of Qu Tong from Yao Star Club, Jiang Xin didn't believe it at all that he didn't give these people any tricks in their minds.
of.
With some precautions in mind, Jiang Xin naturally would not have any contact with these people. As for the interview...
They couldn't even find one of their own, so they talked about interviews or not.
...
Longhu Mountain.
Being defeated neatly by Deng Youfu using the method of inviting a fairy, Hu Jie's spirit has become more and more depraved. At the same time, his desire for power has become more and more crazy.
"Power...I want more power!"
Hu Jie's eyes were cloudy, and he was looking like a zombie on the mountain, trying to find someone to hunt.
But it is a pity that even full-blooded aliens tend to travel in groups of twos and threes, not to mention those contestants who come to compete. Most of them choose to go back to their residential areas to rest.
Except...Jiang Xin...
"found it!"
Looking at Jiang Xin on the branch, Hu Jie's eyes became more and more fierce and violent: "Hey! Find someone who is alone! Let me kill you!"
Before he finished speaking, Hu Jie roared towards Jiang Xin like a vicious dog, his true energy condensed, and his hands instantly became sharp.
"Did you find me like this?"
Looking at Hu Jie, who was rushing towards him, Jiang Xin frowned: "Has Shen Chong's ability called loan sharking corroded people's minds to this extent? Just killing two or three people has already made it difficult for people to sanity.
Be independent."
Seeing Hu Jie, whose aura was extremely confused, and drool even flowed from the corner of his mouth, Jiang Xin was filled with displeasure. She stretched out her hand and pressed it, and a sea of fire flew down from the sky.
And behind the sea of fire that covered the sky and the sun, dozens of flying knives followed closely behind.
Hissed.
Hu Jie successfully passed through the sea of fire, but was accurately hit by the flying knife that followed him. After trembling twice, he fainted.
"What an annoying piece of garbage."
Looking at Hu Jie who was unconscious on the ground, Jiang Xin sighed slightly and reached out to press his Dantian area.
Shen Chong's ability is called usury, and the specific ability is very interesting.
Shen Chong's own ability is called the mother ability, and the ability he lends is the child ability.
Under the child ability, the alien can enhance his own Qi by killing other aliens, but accordingly, he has to hand over part of his Qi as interest to the owner of the mother ability - Shen Chong.
For every person killed, the interest paid by the sub-ability user will increase by one until it approaches infinitely close to 100%.
However, the endless greed for 'money' will make the sub-ability person more and more controlled. Often, after killing only a few, he will become a beast that only knows killing and be eliminated by the company.
Of course, the main reason why his sanity fell was because he became a filter, filtering out the existence of Qi Heye for Shen Chong.
What is handed over to Shen Chong is ultimately extremely pure Qi, while what is left to him is often full of impurities and filthy. Coupled with the existence of invisible karma, his own will is naturally buried. .
The sub-power is activated all the time and destroys people's minds and consciousness all the time, which makes Jiang Xin's job much easier.
In a moment, he extracted Shen Chong's sub-power - the borrower - from Hu Jie's body.
They say they are borrowers, but in fact they are just slaves acting as filter elements.
"Lender...what will happen if I reverse this ability..."
Somewhat curious in his heart, Jiang Xin's thoughts moved, and the Qi path in his body changed instantly, and the borrower's ability obtained from Shen Chong changed again.
Parasite!
When communicating with Shen Chong, who didn't know where he was, the parasite was really like a vampire sucking out the fat and marrow, constantly robbing Shen Chong of extremely pure energy.
At the same time, the emotional karma that makes people addicted to greed
It didn't appear in Jiang Xin's mind. On the contrary, he seemed to be short of money, and his heart was extremely pure.
...
Shen Chong:???!!!
"What's going on!" Shen Chong's expression suddenly changed as he felt that the energy in his body was continuously decreasing.
With his eyes closed and his energy flowing, he vaguely sensed that a guy in the distance who was supposed to be his slave was like a vampire who could never have enough to eat, constantly draining his energy.
"Damn it! This can't go on!"
With an angry curse in his heart, Shen Chong decisively gave up controlling the ability of the unknown being in the distance.
The next moment, Jiang Xinbian, who was enjoying himself, found that the originally turbulent water outlet had turned into a trickle, and then there was no movement at all.
"I was discovered..."
After trying twice more, he couldn't get back in touch with Shen Chong. Jiang Xin felt a little emotional for a moment: "There are so many slaves anyway, if you let me suck them for a while, they will die! How stingy!"
The ability was reversed, and the water was released and filled at the same time. In the end, the upper limit of Jiang Xin's Qihai was increased a lot, which was probably worth a week's practice.
On the other side, looking at Qi Hai who had shrunk, Shen Chong's face turned livid.
He wanted to vent, but he never dared to explore the existence of Jiang Xin alone.
So, he turned around and secretly raised the interest rates of other borrowers by an amount to compensate for his own losses.
Hu Jie on the ground was not dead yet. Jiang Xinye didn't want to let the guy wake up and continue to harm others, so he took him to find people from the Tianshi Mansion.
"I want to report it! This guy wanted to kill me while I was alone, but he failed and was knocked unconscious by me."
"This is...Hu Jie from Dongxiang Village?" Several Taoist priests looked at the unconscious Hu Jie, and a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in their eyes: "This is fine, why do you want to attack other players?"
