Chapter 4 004.【Desperate】

  Unpretentious name.

  Lu Jian thought for a while, and resisted the urge to open the video file immediately.

   After all,it said not to open it at night, and he didn't have to do this to invite death.

   Putting down his phone, Lu Jian casually opened the book "When the Human Stars Shine" that once suppressed the Lanlan Rod Muppet.

   It's just that Stefan Zweig's poetic words disappeared, replaced by the system's cold and chilling panel instructions.

  [Name: Lu Jian]

  [Occupation: Director]

[Bachelor's degree]

  [Will: 80]

  [Education: 70]

  [Lucky: 20]

  [Sanity: 76]

  [Silence Points: 100]

  [Inherent Skill: Desperate]

  Opening the personal panel, Lu Jian found three things.

   First, his sanity dropped by four points.

  Secondly, the rewards of the novice missions have appeared on his panel.

   Again, there was an entry of silent points like system currency.

  Finally, there is the column of his occupation. The original lead black text has turned dark green, which seems to be clickable.

   "The reason for the decline in sanity is that I have experienced those things just now?"

  Lu Jian has been in touch with some horror movie theories and related literary works, and knows that in some world settings, human sanity can be quantified, and seeing horrible things will reduce sanity until it becomes 0, completely crazy.

   Just one exploration under the bed cost four sanity points, which is a bit exaggerated.

  Lu Jian didn't know how to regain his sanity, so he could only accept it as an established fact.

  He looked at the dark golden text of [Desperate], next to the text, the words that wrote the life of the great composer became the description of this inherent skill:

[put all one's eggs in one basket]

  [Inherent]

  [It can interfere with the operation of the Quiet Place, it can be used once per mission]

  Below these descriptions, there are a few lines of gilded small characters.

  [Dice from untraceable times]

  [The legendary thing that can reverse fate]

  [Once thrown, not even the gods can interfere with the result]

  [Even with such great power, dice can only be ordered by others]

  [Or, the gods who created it can use this to spy on the fate of all living beings]

  ["Those who try to control fate will eventually be swallowed by fate"]

Next to these cloudy, riddle-like explanatory texts, a pair of lifelike dice are drawn in classical style. Unlike ordinary six-sided dice, the dark golden dice have ten sides, and the numbers on them range from 0 to 9. Written in cursive characters, it is full of enchanting beauty.

   "That is to say, if you encounter trouble in the mission, you can rely on this dice to try your luck?"

  Lu Jian seems to have understood the usage of this inherent skill.

   To put it simply, it is a guaranteed skill. If you are lucky, even the sanction of the gods can save you from danger. If you are unlucky, the original scratches may turn into fatal injuries.

   As a steady player, Lu Juan felt that he couldn't really wait until he was in a crisis before using this skill. In other words, he had to be well prepared, and it was best not to use this skill.

   Now that he is not on a mission, he naturally has no way to use it. He looked at [Silence Points].

  According to Lu Jian's experience, this thing should be used to buy products provided by the system, or to exchange for something.

  Thinking about it, Lu Jian flipped through a few pages of the book in his hand, from a genius composer overnight to a defeated general at Waterloo, the words on it were distorted, from bitter and grand narrative poems to cold and indifferent data entries.

   "Sure enough, you can buy things with this."

  Lu Jian saw that there was a blacked-out option next to the words [Silence Department Store], and the gray text on the option showed that at least 5,000 silence points could be opened.

   Obviously, he still can't choose now.

   Then take a look at what's in the mall.

  He took a closer look.

   Good system.

  Lu Jian called him a good system.

   There are no masterpieces of entertainment in this mall, and there are some strange things for purchasing talents and skills.

   "So this is not an entertainment system? What's the use of choosing a career in the first place?"

   While Lu Yi was puzzled, he casually looked at a few products.

  [Runaway Revolver]

[excellent]

  [An ordinary and mediocre revolver]

  [Shooting accuracy is not high, but there are occasional miraculous effects]

[A sigh]

[ordinary]

  [A sigh can be heard anywhere]

["well--"]

  [A Air Friend]

  [unable to look, unable to touch, unable to perceive]

  [You can talk to him, but don't beg for a response]

  ["everyone has an air friend"]

  [Price: 70 Silence Points]

  "What the hell are this?"

  Lu Jian flipped through the catalog, it seems that because his level of authority in this system is not high enough, he can only see high-quality products at most.

  Excellent quality products are mostly related to something in reality, but looking at the description, they are all weird and have a dangerous atmosphere.

  Ordinary quality goods, there are all kinds of mess, most of them give people a sense of taste, compared to serious items, they are more like props that only appear in funny animations.

  Lu Jie only has 100 points of silence, and most of the high-quality products cannot be bought.

  Ordinary quality goods, Lu Yi feels that it is not worth spending points to buy at present.

   It might be okay to buy a [sigh] to scare people, but I always feel cheated when I buy an [air friend].

   He rummaged around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a cheap good-quality item in the corner.

  [Madman's Knowledge]

[excellent]

  [The skull of a person who has obtained knowledge about the gods]

  [Can be used to obtain exotic knowledge]

  [Exposure to forbidden knowledge can satisfy strong curiosity]

   [But it can also be crazy]

["I see!"]
