Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 3 Part 1

For a while, the cold sweat behind the crowd’s backs almost soaked their shirts.

Mo Jie frowned, “That paper man just now was a carrier of resentment.”

The hairband man panicked and asked, “Brother Jie, can you solve this curse?”

Mo Jie replied stoically, “Well, I’ll try.”

When he was not famous, he had once narrowly escaped death and obtained the Curse Solving Technique in a copy.

Ever since he had it, there was no curse he couldn’t overcome.

He had also relied on this Curse Solving Technique to dominate the copy, and even the top 200 people on the leaderboards had looked at him differently.

This time would surely be the same-

Mo Jie’s hand paused.

Veins sprouted on his forehead, no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t shake that gloomy aura in his body.

Mo Jie finally panicked.

“This curse is very powerful.”

His words fell, and fear instantly spread like a virus.

The others had originally thought that the curse was solvable, and when they saw the news they had only cowered for a moment, but now they were completely in a panic.

“I’m afraid we would not be able to move when the paperization value is over 50% ……”

With less than an hour to go, they were going to open the envelopes and start working. Even if they didn’t know what the work was, it was clear that it was definitely dangerous.

The Curse staining their bodies was like adding insult to injury.

At this time, Bai Qiuye raised her hand, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Back to your room?”

Bai Qiuye pointed to the next bedroom, “There’s still a bit of time, just in time to recuperate.”

Fu Yao stared incredulously, “We just got hit by a curse, aren’t you scared!”

Bai Qiuye said, “I’m afraid, but what’s the use of being anxious?”

Fu Yao was momentarily speechless, that paper man had set himself on fire, they couldn’t even find a place to vent.

It was also impossible for everyone to run around before the work matters came up.

The hairband man said coldly, “Whatever, go wherever you like.”

Mo Jie didn’t say much, but just instructed Bai Qiuye not to go to the room with the corpse.

The group returned downstairs, Fu Yao looked up at the ceiling with some worry: “She’s alone up there, will something happen to her?”

The hairband Man replied “It’s not strange if something happens, it’s only strange if something doesn’t happen.”

Fu Yao interlocked her ten fingers, “Then I’d better call her down.”

Zhong Ying said coldly, “She’s only at level 1, but she has a big temper and wants us to apologize. Who cares about her!”

On the other side, Liu He didn’t say a word, sitting on the stool with his eyes downcast looking at the floor tiles in front of his toes.

Fu Yao looked at Mo Jie again, “Brother Jie, what do you say?”

Mo Jie shook his head, “There’s no need to force her, just let her be.”

Fu Yao: “She’ll probably die.” Everyone knows that people who act alone are the most likely to die.

Mo Jie sighed, “We, as a team, should also die alone.”

Fu Yao sucked in a breath, “Didn’t you value her quite highly, Brother Jie?”

“Her value stems from the big bosses she encounters, not from her herself.” Mo Jie pushed his glasses and said, “Meeting is fate, if she is willing to stay close to the team, I would absolutely welcome her. But it’s out of my hands and I’m not obligated to care.”

*

After Bai Qiuye entered the bedroom, she lifted her sleeve up and pinched her arm.

The color of the skin was whiter than just now, but blood could still be vaguely seen after a pinch.

This was only the first stage of paperization, and she was not sure what would happen subsequently.

[You look bad.]

System 09 said in her head.

“I’ve never triggered this curse before.” She frowned, “But I’ve seen that paper man  before.”

The first time she entered this copy, one of her teammates died, his faced looked like  toilet paper, and he was carrying that paper man on his back. After that person died, the paper man disappeared.

At that time, she was still a clueless newcomer, unable to do anything but be afraid, let alone investigate.

In the thirteen year cycle that followed, it wasn’t like the cat hadn’t meowed, but at most it had triggered the corpse to resurrect, but the paper man hadn’t been seen once.

“The copies have become different.” Indicating that the cycle was beginning to be broken, Bai Qiuye tugged at her skirt somewhat nervously, “What’s with me being happy and scared at the same time”

Despite her mixed feelings, she laid down on the bed, the cat pacing around her.

Each time the cycle began, her body would revert to the state it was in when she first entered the copy.

This included her clothes, hairstyle, and appearance, so even though she had spent thirteen years in the copy, she hadn’t changed at all.

When she first entered the copy, she had finished a day of classes from eight in the morning to nine in the evening, and was about to go back to the dormitory to take a nap, feeling exhausted, she was caught up in the copy as soon as she stepped out of the classroom.

”When I get out, I’ll contact mom and dad right away. It’s already been so long, I don’t know how they are now ……”

Excitement couldn’t withstand fatigue, and Bai Qiuye quickly fell into a deep sleep.

She slept for a while before suddenly waking up from her dream. The lights in the room were clearly on before she went to bed, but now it was pitch black.

Bai Qiuye carefully rolled over and got out of bed, touching the darkness to take a few steps forward.

Opening the door and stepping out of the bedroom, the corridor finally had a bit of faint light.

Through this light, she saw countless black chains falling from the void, interlocking with each other to form a huge net made of steel.

There was a man standing there.

The other end of the chain was born on his back, like wings made of steel.

The man turned sideways, his short hair was curly and messy, blocking his eyebrows.

“It will change next time, I already-”

The wind swallowed up his words, and Bai Qiuye stumbled and fell into a strange cliff.

She sat up violently from the bed; the room was still bright, and it was as if she had descended into another dream.

“Get back here!”

There was no greater despair than not knowing what the he had said at the end.

This person had appeared in her dreams for thirteen years, and she had dreamt of this scene intermittently ever since she was involved in the copy.

At first, she could only see a blurry back, but now she could make out half of the other person’s face.

“What exactly was the last thing he said.” Bai Qiuye sat cross-legged on the bed with her hands propped up on her chin and fell into deep thought, “If I can find him, I’ll definitely beat him to- forget it I can’t beat anyone….”

At this time, there was a loud knock on the bedroom door and Bai Qiuye asked who it was.

“It’s me, Mo Jie.” The person at the door replied.

Bai Qiuye glanced at the cat, still lying peacefully on her belly.

She walked to the door and unlocked it, and Mo Jie stood outside with a stony face.

He asked, “Nothing happened to you, right?”

Bai Qiuye responded honestly, “Can you talk to me if something happens to me?”

“……” Mo Jie was a bit speechless for a moment, “Forget it, you come down first, we’ll open the envelope when the time comes.”

Bai Qiuye nodded and walked downstairs with him.

Fu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw Bai Qiuye, “You had to stay up there alone, luckily nothing happened.”

“How do you know nothing happened.” Bai Qiuye said, “What if I’m not me anymore?”

The air in the living room froze for a moment.

Fu Yao awkwardly laughed twice to break the silence, “…Haha, you can really joke.”

Bai Qiuye thought to herself that she wasn’t joking, these people weren’t cautious at all.

Mo Jie: “Let’s look at the work content first.”

He took out the envelope from his clothes and his fingers shook as he opened the seal.

[First Task]

[Working hours: 00:00 – 04:00]

[Work matter: bone washing.]

[Work contact: Master Wang at the entrance of the village. Master Wang lives in the house with red walls.]

[Work Reward: 5 Survival Coupons.]

[Punishment for absenteeism: Serious disciplinary action, 100 survival coupons deducted, mandatory disqualification from the second job. The maximum rating for this job is reduced to 60 points.]

[Work Progress: 0/2]

Zhong Ying’s face turned white: ”Bone Washing… It won’t be the kind I’m thinking of, will it?”

Bai Qiuye said quietly, “It might be.”

Mo Jie decisively got up, “Time is running out, let’s go now.”

Fu Yao asked, “What about the corpse?”

Liu He, who didn’t speak much, said, “I’ll stand guard.”

Hearing this, Bai Qiuye looked at him one more time.

These people were all very afraid of acting alone, and it was a bit odd that Liu He actually took the initiative to do so.

Mo Jie: “That’s fine. If anything goes wrong, you should run directly to the village.”

Liu He nodded indifferently.

Bai Qiuye glanced at him again, just in time to collide with his gaze.

Liu He was expressionless, calmly averting his eyes and continuing to say nothing.

System 09 asked in Bai Qiuye’s mind.

[You pay a lot of attention to him.]

[Do you want to team up with him?]

“I think he is plotting something.” Bai Qiuye replied.

[…]

That wasn’t the reason why she was paying attention to Liu He.

Liu He gave her a very familiar feeling, yet it felt very much out of place.

She could see the shadow of another person in Liu He, but even she couldn’t tell exactly who it was.

*

The village was dark, there were no streetlights, and only the cold moon shining through the fog illuminated the streets.

The surrounding buildings were struck with a bluish light, the tiles occasionally refracting like an eye.

A thin but impenetrable fog filled the distance, moving slowly when the wind blew, as if a hundred ghosts were traveling at night.

Along the way they didn’t hear a single sound, the entire village was plunged into dead silence.

The terminal prompt in the village entrance is not difficult to find, because this village is not big, The red house where Master Wang lived was also very obvious, he was the only one in the entire village with red paint on the walls.

“This house-” the hairband man wanted to speak.

Mo Jie: “Let’s go.”

Suddenly, a small figure scurried out from the back of the house and ran to them, startling Mo Jie and the other four.

The child’s head was large, but her body looked malnourished. In her hand, she was holding a bloody toad and was squeezing it around.

She said word by word, “I want a doll.”

Mo Jie and the others were stunned.

Bai Qiuye, however, took it for granted and smoothly pulled out a fruit candy from her pocket and handed it to the child.

She said, “I don’t have a doll, but I can treat to a candy.”

The child took the candy, smiled cheekily, and ran away from them.

Zhong Ying looked at the child’s back, “This …. is a human, right?”

“It should be.” Mo Jie said and looked at Bai Qiuye, “How come you carry candy with you?”

Bai Qiuye: “I took it on the second floor of Widow Du’s house.”

Mo Jie several people recalled that there was indeed sugar in the bedroom on the second floor.

But would a normal person dare to take it?

But thinking about the fact that this level 1 rookie had also eaten the persimmon cakes, just taking a piece of sugar didn’t seem like a big deal anymore.

For a while, several people were speechless.

At this time, a slightly hoarse voice came from inside the hidden door.

“You are already here, why don’t you come in.”

Mo Jie hesitantly pushed the door open, and the rich smell of inferior cosmetics filled the whole room making everyone cough.

Only to see a large two-meter long table deep in the room, which was filled with various paints, cosmetics, and pieces of paper. In addition to that, there were some scattered needles, threads, and scissors.

A man with a long, thin figure was expressionlessly holding a lipstick-stained makeup brush, tracing a head in front of him. The floor was full of black broken hair.

The hairband man was so frightened that he almost ran for the door, but was pulled back by Mo Jie.

“Look carefully.”

The hairband man fixed his eyes on the head, and it turned out that the head was a fake. Its face was patted with white powder and smeared with bright red lipstick, Which looked both funny and terrifying.

Master Wang put the makeup brush on the table, “Are you the people Widow Du hired?”

Mo Jie: “Are you Master Wang?”

The other party nodded and stood up from behind the table, “What do you need from me-”

Mo Jie: “We are going to wash the bones.”

Master Wang pointed to the room inside coldly, “Go in.”
