Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 4 Part 1

Fu Yao’s body trembled, the rickety boning knives still hanging from the ceiling, no one knew when they would fall.

Zhong Ying’s death did not mean that the room was completely safe.

On the contrary, it became a shadow that couldn’t be removed, planted deep in everyone’s heart.

Zhong Ying’s death was so sudden that not a single word could be heard.

No one knew what had happened to her.

These unknowns turned into a huge pressure that piled up on Fu Yao’s shoulders.

She could hardly catch her breath.

She walked over to the long table and reached out to pick up the standing incense in front of her, her trembling hands never able to aim it at the faint flame of the candle.

“I, can I…” her words trailed off.

She remembered that when Zhong Ying had looked at her earlier, she had avoided her with the same indifference.

No one would be willing to trade with her.

Even Bai Qiuye, who was fearless like a newborn calf, would never step into this room a second time after witnessing such a horrific result.

And swapping didn’t mean a good result, even if she swapped to the fifth place, she would still have to go in at some point.

Wasn’t Zhong Ying reaping what she had sown?

But she really doesn’t want to go in!

Fu Yao shouted, “I’m not going in! I’m not doing this mission!”

The hairband man cursed, “No, you have to go in, this is what we drew lots for, you participated!” He was the fourth, if Fu Yao didn’t go in, it would be his turn.

Mo Jie pushed up his glasses, “Fu Yao, if we all refuse this task, there’s no way to unlock the next work.”

Fu Yao looked at them angrily, “Don’t stand around talking, I know what you are thinking! You can’t wait for me to take out the lamp so you don’t have to go in, right?”

Mo Jie coughed, “Is it bad to hope that you can take out the lamp, because if you can’t, it means you’re dead.”

Fu Yao’s body trembled slightly, “Mo Jie, you are level 44, shouldn’t you take the responsibility?”

Mo Jie frowned slightly, “Even though I’m a higher level than you, I’m not your babysitter.”

The hairband man chimed in as he pushed her towards the door, “Don’t get moralistic, just go in.”

Fu Yao’s nails dug into the hairband man’s wrist, “Chen Chen, do you think you can escape if I die? Hahaha, you’re the fourth!”

The hairband man’s movements stopped, not caring about the pain in his wrist, he subconsciously turned back to look at Mo Jie.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Mo Jie’s mouth, “What, you were moved by her words?”

Suddenly, a voice broke into the trio’s growing argument.

Bai Qiuye shakily raised her hand, “I can go in for you.”

Fu Yao looked at her in disbelief, “What did you say?”

“I’ll go in for you, and you won’t have to go in again afterwards.”

Fu Yao couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart, “Bai Qiuye, thank you-”

Bai Qiuye uttered an extremely shameless sentence, “But there’s a fee.”

“It’s not a swap, so it’s more expensive.”

She pondered for a moment, “150 survival coupons.”

What a treacherous business woman!

Fu Yao glanced at the blood-coloured room where Zhong Ying’s corpse was still strewn across the room, and inwardly, the heavens and the earth were at war.

“150 survival coupons is too expensive.”

Bai Qiuye: “Well, we’re not destined to be together.”

Fu Yao was about to bargain when Mo Jie, who was on the side, suddenly opened his mouth.

Mo Jie: “I’ll offer 150.”

The hairband man gritted his teeth, “I’ll give you 160!”

Bai Qiuye was overjoyed, “This is good, 150 survival vouchers to start the auction for the replacement spot, I can help you guys get into the room. The next one adds 50 survival coupons on top of the first one.”

Fu Yao lost her voice, “I didn’t say I won’t buy it!”

She was remorseful in her heart, hating why she hadn’t agreed before, and now she had to bid against the other two.

Mo Jie: “180.”

Fu Yao hurriedly interjected, “I’m 190!”

Hairband man: “200, you guys don’t add up!”

Fu Yao: “But….”

Mo Jie suddenly woke up and pushed up his glasses, “In this case, everyone don’t bid, the three of us will split the extra 150 equally.”

The hairband man said reluctantly, “That’s the only way.”

Any further increase and they would all go bankrupt.

Although they had violated the guidelines of the auction, Bai Qiuye didn’t say anything.

She recieved 850 Survival Coupons in one breath filled her with a sense of security.

She cheerfully completed the transaction with the three reluctant people.

Bai Qiuye was all smiles, her eyes squinting like the Maitreya Buddha, “So I’m going in?”

The crowd was speechless, for a moment wanting her to die but also being afraid of her death.

Bai Qiuye’s figure disappeared behind the dark red curtains, and after a minute, she came out empty-handed.

“I didn’t get it.”

She did it on purpose.

The hairband man could see that Bai Qiye purposely didn’t take the lamp in order to earn the other two’s survival vouchers.

He didn’t want Bai Qiuye to succeed, but he didn’t dare to regret it and go in by himself.

Looking at Bai Qiuye’s figure that disappeared behind the door curtain once again, the corner of the hairband man’s eyes twitched a little, “Isn’t she afraid of overturning?”

Mo Jie’s lenses flashed a cold light, “I’m afraid, she’s pretty sure she overturn.”

Fu Yao asked in shock, “Why?”

“Do you guys still remember that half a year ago, there was something called a newbie protection mechanism?”

Fu Yao thought for half a day and finally remembered a certain very useless feature from half a year ago, “Well, isn’t that one gone after the upgrade?”

The hairband man sucked in a breath, “Bai Qiuye is only level 1 now, and she’s still protected by this mechanism!”

Fu Yao: “But that protection mechanism isn’t much use.”

The Newbie Protection Mechanism, each time it was turned on, had a time limit and could only last for 2 minutes, with a cooldown interval of 6 hours.

The most crucial thing was that there was no way to trigger this mechanism when they were level 1.

Mo Jie implicitly looked overhead, “You guys turn off the camera first.”

He was so solemn that it made the hairband man and Fu Yao’s hearts pound. What Mo Jie was about to say must be of great importance.

Even if they had to deduct twenty percent of their earnings for turning off the camera once, they were willing to do so.

Seeing the two men turn off the camera, Mo Jie said, “It didn’t work for us at the time, but realize that the mechanism was to protect newbies from excessive attacks. This copy is at level 30, which fulfills the activation conditions. So what was useless for us is a divine weapon in her case.”

Hairband Man: “Hey, why haven’t I heard of it.”

Mo Jie: “I know a guy who’s in the top 200 overall rankings, and he told me about it. He said that those people at the top of the pyramid were researching how to activate that function again. It’s just a pity that they have never figured how to turn it on after exceeding level 1.”

“This copy won’t have low casualties, but by utilizing Bai Qiuye wisely, the rest of us might be able to get through without any injuries.”

Fu Yao was a little reluctant after being pitched a large sum of money by Bai Qiuye, but what Mo Jie said was an undeniable fact.

The hairband man immediately flattered him, “Brother Jie is right.”

After they all didn’t have to venture into the house, the importance of pleasing Mo Jie returned to first place.

Mo Jie knew his thoughts all too well and pushed up the frame of his glasses with a cold snort.

In the live broadcast room, the viewers who were watching the footage of the trio were suddenly forced to log out, and the screen returned to the centralized point located at Widow Du’s house.

[Why did they turn off the camera.]

[What exactly did Mo Jie say?]

[I’m so anxious]

[Does Bai Qiuye have any trump card?]

[The screen is back on!]

For the fifth time, Bai Qiuye came out of the room, carrying a lamp in her hand.

“Got it.” She wiped a handful of nonexistent sweat, as if earning this survival coupon had made her work so hard.

System 09’s voice suddenly rang in her head.

[Shameless.]

Mo Jie and the others were so screwed over to the point where even System 09 couldn’t stand to watch.

As soon as Bai Qiuye’s words fell, a task prompt appeared on everyone’s terminals.

Everyone other than Bai Qiuye face darkened when they saw the prompt.

“Proficiency required, it’s over!” The hairband man said with a pale face, “Who among us has touched this kind of work before, isn’t this killing us directly?”

“We can only take a step and see what happens.” Mo Jie said.

Fu Yao was already at a loss of consciousness, her lips trembling slightly.

The matter of washing bones was already evil, and washing bones also required proficiency, it was simply adding insult to injury.

She subconsciously looked at Bai Qiuye, who had changed her joyful appearance just now, and her eyes were looking at a certain point in air with a unfocused eyes, as if she had been stunned.

Seeing Bai Qiye get defeated, Fu Yao calmed down a little.

”In the end, she’s still a noob.” Fu Yao thought to herself.
