Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: The Side Effects of Extraordinary Power

A burst of violent light instantly pierced through the numerous strange birds, large and small, behind them, obliterating them completely. This allowed Rias to slow down slightly and recover her magic power.

 

Unfortunately, even more strange birds rushed towards them.

 

Meanwhile, at this very moment, Li Ke…

 

He was examining the packages on the ground.

 

Yes, these were the packages left behind after the zombies died.

 

Because of the large number of corpses, he hadn't come down in the morning. After finishing the mission, he went to do various things with Tsunade.

 

It wasn't until he was preparing to wrap up for the evening that he remembered this.

 

But opening the bags would have been better. Li Ke was completely shocked.

 

"Bandages! First-aid kit?! And a hundred rounds of ammunition?!"

 

Before him lay a large quantity of bandages and a first-aid kit!

 

Even ammunition!

 

Such a rich haul?!

 

Am I being shameless? However, just as he was shocked by the sheer amount of his loot, Kiri, who had also come over out of curiosity, exclaimed in surprise.

 

"A blender? Why are zombies carrying a blender?! Did I just waste my time fixing it?! And why is there a bicycle? And over six hundred pieces of forged steel, can these zombies really carry that much?!"

 

As she spoke, she pulled a blender and a bicycle from her pocket. Then, cursing, she tossed the empty bag aside and opened another bag.

 

"Hmm? This makes much more sense, a level 5 M60? Good stuff! Li Ke! Good stuff!"

 

She waved the gun at Li Ke, beaming with delight. Li Ke looked at the first-aid kit, bandages, and the pitifully small amount of one hundred bullets in his opened package, and remained silent.

 

Normally, his luck was already pretty good, but that bastard Kiri!

 

"It's alright, even the luckiest people have short lifespans, even the luckiest people have short lifespans..."

 

Li Ke could only keep convincing himself of this, but just as he was about to convince himself, Kiri's voice rang out again.

 

"Hey! Li Ke! Come here and look at this, what is this?"

 

Li Ke thought Kiri was going to show off again, and he was already prepared with a fake smile, but when Kiri placed a book in front of him, he was a little confused.

 

Because this book was clearly different from the style of this world; it was called...

 

"The Mind's Eye."

 

"The Mind's Eye?"

 

Li Ke paused for a moment, read the book's title, but his first reaction was to look at Kiri and ask his question.

 

"Are you stupid? Otherwise, why would you give me this?"

 

But Kiri just smiled and pulled the bolt of her newly drawn level 5 M60.

 

"Don't think you can talk nonsense just because I don't understand your so-called Chinese. I understand what you mean. If you dare to use this kind of joke again, I'll represent justice and shoot you, you pervert!"

 

As she spoke, Kiri even made a gun gesture with her hand and flicked Li Ke's forehead.

 

"Tsk."

 

Li Ke looked at the book's description with displeasure, then froze.

 

*Mind's Eye: Observe all things with your mind. When attacked, it increases your evasion chance, making you less likely to be hit by enemies, allowing you to concentrate more intently on what you are doing.

 

It is an introductory skill for the Power of Waves.

 

Upgrading this skill increases the evasion chance, as well as the accuracy and breadth of your mental observation.

 

Press E to use.

 

Without the introductory description of the Power of Waves, Li Ke would undoubtedly have thought this book was a skill book for this world called 7 Days to Die.

 

But with the description of the Power of Waves, Li Ke instantly understood something. This item is a product of Kiri's world!

 

In other words, Kiri killed the zombies of 7 Days to Die and looted items from the Arad continent!

 

"What's going on..."

 

Li Ke stared blankly at the book.

 

"Hmm? You have seen this kind of book?"

 

Kiri looked at the bewildered Li Ke with a puzzled expression and asked.

 

"To be honest, yes."

 

Li Ke took the book out of his inventory and handed it to Kiri, but Kiri waved another book in her hand, revealing a sly smile.

 

"Only four books dropped, you can have this one!"

 

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head speechlessly.

 

"Suit yourself."

 

Li Ke looked at the book called 'Mind's Eye' in his hand, thought for a moment, and before he could decide whether to use it or not, Kiri covered her head and collapsed towards him.

 

Instinctively, Li Ke reached out to help Kiri up, but his hand slipped inside the gap of her open-chested dress.

 

If Li Ke hadn't caught Kiri's chest, which was just the size of a hand's grasp, Kiri would undoubtedly have fallen to the ground.

 

Kiri, however, had no time to care about that. She clutched her chest, crying out in pain.

 

"Damn it, it hurts, it hurts..."

 

Just as Li Ke was at a loss, Kiri suddenly stood up and slapped his hand away.

 

"I'm talking to you! It hurts so much!"

 

Kiri showed no mercy. Li Ke felt as if his arm had been whipped. He instinctively pulled away, but Kiri gasped again.

 

"Ouch! Ouch! Can't you be a little more careful?!"

 

"Huh?"

 

Li Ke looked at Kiri, somewhat bewildered, while Kiri's other hand touched her chest, rubbing her aching skin as she complained.

 

"Don't you know how rough your hands are?! And you're gripping so tightly!"

 

Kiri couldn't help but complain.

 

"Using that book only made me dizzy, but you made me scream in pain! Don't assume everyone is Tsunade! And don't touch me before you two are finished!"

 

She glared at Li Ke, annoyed. While she didn't mind Li Ke doing it with Tsunade before doing it with her, she still minded doing it together.

 

Besides, Li Ke's hands were just too rough! She really didn't know how Tsunade tolerated it!

 

"Ah, well, there's nothing I can do, I'm doing heavy labour every day these days..."

 

Li Ke awkwardly withdrew his hand. His hands, calloused from days of heavy physical labour, were especially so after work; it was normal for them to sting.

 

A wash would make it much better.

 

"I know, I know, I've just never been pinched like this before. And I suggest you wait until bedtime to use this thing; the side effects are really strong... my head is spinning right now."

 

Kiri tapped her head again, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly, before walking towards the next bag.

 

However, she still explained to Li Ke.

 

"However, everything inside is real, genuinely usable items. When I used them, I felt a strange power enter my body, making me feel like I was undergoing a brutal training... but it's not very meaningful to me... And what's ridiculous is that when I tried to upgrade using skill points, it said it couldn't be upgraded, the upgrade conditions were unknown, please explore on your own. You loser, stop looting, let me handle it."

 

Kiri waved her hand while continuing to rummage through the bag; clearly, she wanted to get some more similar items.

 

Li Ke glanced at Kiri, then at the book in his hand, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, ignored Kiri's advice, and directly pressed E to use the book.

 

Unlike Kiri, Li Ke knew perfectly well that this thing came from her world, a prerequisite for some kind of extraordinary power, so Li Ke couldn't contain his excitement and immediately lay down on the ground and pressed E.

 

The moment Li Ke pressed E, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. Countless memories flooded his mind. He felt himself being constantly attacked by various dark enemies and slashed by beings lurking in the shadows. Only when he sensed danger could he evade the attacks.

 

He dodged and weaved again and again, losing count of how long he had evaded and how many times he had failed. Finally…

 

He remembered that feeling, that feeling of consciously sensing the world.

 

Then, he woke up.

 

But his head was still spinning. He groggily looked up and saw many black dots in the sky. Kiri beside him had just unzipped another bag.

 

Clearly, although his physical sensations had lasted a very long time, the real world had only experienced a fleeting moment!

 

Li Ke struggled to his feet. His head was still spinning, unlike Kiri, who had recovered quickly.

 

He felt his dizziness wouldn't subside for at least half a day.

 

This made him realize something once again.

 

Even with the boost from skill points, the gap between him and these true superhumans was still enormous.
