Chapter 271: Jin Yi Is Here

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Jin Yi Is Here

Dubiously, Bai Wanwan summoned the panel and swiped a finger across it. Just as promised, two grayed-out buttons in the options had turned green, and new category labels had appeared.

Items... Weapons...

The "Weapons" category was self-explanatory, and Bai Wanwan’s heart leapt with joy.

’Doesn’t this mean I’ll have a trump card to protect myself from now on?’

Suppressing the excitement bubbling up inside her, she tapped the "Items" category first.

’What kind of items?’

’I’m not an actress, so what would I need them for?’

The moment her finger touched the screen, a new page opened.

The first few entries immediately caught her eye.

Share Zhu Xiu’s Talent Power (one-time use), share Xin Feng’s Talent Power (one-time use), share Yan Lie’s Talent Power (one-time use), share Chou Rong’s Talent Power (one-time use)...

’Chou Rong... How can I share his Talent Power too?’

Hua Sheng seemed to hear her thoughts and immediately explained, "As long as a male has had an intimate relationship with the Host, the Host can share his Talent Power via a one-time-use item."

’In other words, as long as I have enough Points, I can borrow my Beast Husbands’ Talent Power to fight a Yellow Rank expert?’

At this realization, Bai Wanwan’s blood began to boil with excitement.

Who would want to be a lamb to the slaughter?

Given the choice, she would rather be the butcher, slaughtering any enemy who threatened her and her loved ones.

Bai Wanwan glanced at the required Point deduction below and immediately gasped.

"Five thousand Points for a single use?"

"Correct. If used well, five thousand Points to save a life is a great deal."

Bai Wanwan didn’t respond and kept scrolling.

There were even transformation items, face-changing items, and voice-changing items.

The most outrageous of all was a body-double item...

Bai Wanwan’s eyes grew brighter the more she looked.

But every item cost at least several thousand Points, and the body-double item was absurdly expensive, costing a whopping twenty thousand Points.

"The items in this category are all for saving your life, so of course they aren’t cheap. Host, think about it: if a body double could save your life, wouldn’t twenty thousand Points be worth it?"

What could Bai Wanwan say to that?

"You’re right..."

The problem was, even after having so many litters, her balance was only a little over eighty thousand.

"If the Host doesn’t use the Points to lift the Dark Curse from your Beast Husband, this is more than enough to ensure your own survival."

’But can I really stand by and watch Zhu Xiu be consumed by the Dark Curse?’

’No, I can’t. So I have to keep saving up Points.’

’Now that I have two new options, things will get better.’

’As long as I stay optimistic and focus on surviving, life will keep improving.’

’The Items category is already this overpowered. What about Weapons?’

Filled with curiosity, she quickly exited the Items category and tapped on Weapons.

Laser guns, laser cannons, drones, tanks, all-terrain vehicles, land-based aircraft carriers...

The further she scrolled, the wider Bai Wanwan’s mouth fell open.

"Seriously, Hua Sheng, isn’t this a little over the top?" Bai Wanwan paused for a moment before continuing, "If I had these things, I’d become the ruler of this world."

"Correct. Once the Host possesses them, not even a Super Tribe could kill you."

Ever since coming to the Beast World, Bai Wanwan had never truly felt at ease. She always felt that this world was too dangerous, and that she could lose her life at any moment.

A smile was just beginning to bloom on her face when she suddenly saw the long string of zeros under each weapon’s price.

Her smile froze on her lips.

"Hua Sheng, take a look at this. Is this reasonable?"

"The cheapest item, a laser gun, costs one hundred thousand Points?"

"That is correct, Host. These weapons are so overpowered they could break the balance of this world. Therefore, they cannot be obtained easily."

Bai Wanwan thought about it. She’d been in the Beast World for nearly a year, found powerful males as her Beast Husbands, and borne them three litters of cubs, yet her balance was still just a little over eighty thousand Points.

’At this rate, the whole weapons category is just an empty promise.’

’I’m not looking anymore, not looking...’

It was like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey—letting her see it and chase it desperately, but never letting her catch it.

Zhuo Ling, who was next to her, had only been pretending to be asleep, periodically cracking an eye open to peek at Bai Wanwan.

She saw Bai Wanwan constantly poking her fingers in midair, her expression shifting from a smile one moment to anger the next.

Zhuo Ling was frightened and couldn’t help but call out, "Bai Wanwan, what are you doing?"

Bai Wanwan’s eyes shifted, her gaze landing on Zhuo Ling. She deliberately broke into a wide, unsettling grin.

"I’m casting a spell. You’re going to have terrible luck today, Zhuo Ling!"

She deliberately made her voice sound sinister and eerie.

Zhuo Ling was terrified by this display, especially since the last time Bai Wanwan had touched her, she’d spent the entire night farting and suffering from diarrhea.

She scrambled backward, trying to get away from her, but she forgot she was already pressed against the cave wall. Her frantic kicks were useless.

"Bai Wanwan, I was wrong! Don’t curse me!"

"Wrong?"

Bai Wanwan sneered. "When the beast tide came, you had your Beast Husbands stop us from entering the city. The last lesson was just me collecting some interest, but now you’ve schemed against me again."

"I didn’t..."

Zhuo Ling’s voice clearly lacked conviction.

"I’m not here to argue with you. Whether you admit it or not, in my book, you owe me two lives. And it just so happens I’m going to settle the score this time."

Bai Wanwan deliberately stared at her with a cold, menacing expression.

Terrified by her expression, Zhuo Ling immediately turned her head toward the cave entrance and screamed, "Help!"

She had barely gotten out two cries for help when Xiong Zong reappeared with two other Bear Clan males.

"What is it?"

"She wants to kill me! I can’t stay in here with her."

After listening to her, Xiong Zong turned to look at Bai Wanwan, who was now leaning against the cave wall, completely relaxed and looking almost languid. "What did you do?"

"I’m just a weak, defenseless female. What could I possibly do? She’s just being paranoid and spouting nonsense."

Xiong Zong was losing his patience. "If you two make any more noise, you won’t have to wait for Jin Yi to get here. I’ll deal with you myself."

Just then, a commotion erupted outside the cave.

A Bear Clan guard entered and said respectfully to Xiong Zong, "A message just came from our clansmen. The Golden Lion Young Clan Leader has entered our cordoned-off area. He’ll be here soon."

Xiong Zong’s eyes lit up like candle flames. "Let’s go. Since the Golden Lion Young Clan Leader has come in person, I’ll go ’welcome’ him in person as well."

In an instant, all the males were gone. Zhuo Ling’s gaze was fixed on the cave entrance, a flicker of hope rising in her heart.

Bai Wanwan’s heart, however, sank.

’This is clearly a trap, one set specifically for Jin Yi.’

’If he came alone, his chances of survival are slim.’

Bai Wanwan’s lovely brows furrowed as she stared blankly at the system panel.

’If it comes down to it, I’ll have no choice but to risk it all and spend my Points for a chance to survive.’

All was quiet outside for a long time, then suddenly, a clamor erupted.

Then, she heard Xiong Zong’s booming laugh. "Jin Yi, you really dared to come alone! Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"
