Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 34 Part 4
Su Sui’er had said that no one could possess both “Order” and “Chaos” at the same time. Nor could anyone have four ability tendencies at the same time. Yet she was precisely that two-in-one exception—this might not be a bad thing for humans, but it might not be something the current ability user community could accept.
Her appearance was untimely. The current ability user community was just recovering from devastation, with a more conservative overall approach, unwilling to take risks. The control over ability users was also stricter. Even Yang Buqi had to worry about interference with his upgrades, let alone a newcomer like her who had just entered the field?
From another perspective, her actual level of dependence on the organization wasn’t that high. All she needed were the missions assigned by the organization. As for upgrades, she had the Courting Death Value system, plus Feifei’s secret hints, she could completely upgrade quietly on her own in private.
“Tomorrow’s moon will be very full, it’s a suitable day for dreaming”—she silently recited Feifei’s hint in her heart, remembering the mirror she had just acquired not long ago.
It was one of the supernatural items purchased from a Taobao store. It was said to make people who saw it lose their minds and fall into hallucinations. From the ability’s performance, it should be precisely a Chaos tendency.
Feifei told her to place the newly acquired mirror at her bedside before sleeping, probably to use its Chaos characteristics to make her log into the Chaos tendency “server” again and attempt to upgrade. As for the second half of what she said…
【That opportunity to freeload, why not consider needs in other aspects. Like [Pu Han], it might come in handy.】
Pu Han, an omniscient tendency ability user.
As for the so-called opportunity to freeload…
Xu Turan lowered her eyes, opened Taobao on her phone, and messaged the store’s customer service again.
【Hello, regarding the gift you mentioned earlier, I’ve decided.】
【Do you have any Lamp level items with omniscient tendency?】
As soon as this message was sent out, she quickly received a reply from customer service, saying they needed to check the warehouse.
Xu Turan wasn’t in a hurry, and waited online directly. After a while, before receiving a reply from customer service, the driver suddenly stopped the car and informed her that they had arrived.
Xu Turan absent-mindedly opened the car door and got out, freezing on the spot.
After a moment of silence, she turned to look at the driver:
“Um, are you sure it’s… here?”
“Hm?” Hearing her question, the driver wearing black gloves was stunned for a moment, quickly confirming the address, “Yes, Star Park Villa District, No. 17. That’s correct.”
Star Park…
Xu Turan fell silent. No wonder she had just felt that the surrounding environment was nice, as if driving through a park. So it really was in a park.
She turned her head to look at the three-story villa with a sunroom and transparent greenhouse in front of her, then looked at the neighbor separated by a large green belt, once again refreshing her understanding of how rich the original owner was—God knows, this was just one of their family’s properties…
Xu Turan was shocked internally, but didn’t show it on her face. She quickly adjusted her emotions, smiled at the driver, and turned to walk forward.
She didn’t have the key to the house. She tried pressing her fingerprint on the gate lock, and the lock beeped open. Xu Turan’s movement suddenly paused.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination—for a moment just now, there was also a beep in her brain.
It sounded like a danger prediction alarm. But the sound disappeared instantly. Like an illusion.
Xu Turan frowned slightly, trying to push open the gate and walk in—the danger prediction didn’t sound again. The Courting Death Value didn’t increase either.
… Strange.
Xu Turan’s heart stirred with doubts, but her feet didn’t stop. She passed through the small garden in front of the house, surprised to find that the main door of the villa was actually open.
She pondered briefly, then pushed the door open directly. Sure enough, someone was sitting at the dining table inside.
“You’re back.” The young man wearing a neat suit nodded coldly to her, “The assistant has already sent the things back to your room.”
“Mm.” Xu Turan nodded without changing her expression, as if she really knew the person opposite her, “Why are you here?”
“There’s a project nearby. I’ll be staying here for a while.” The young man’s gaze flitted over her, quickly returning to the iPad in his hand, “Don’t worry, I won’t be here long. I won’t interfere with you.”
“This is your house to begin with. Stay if you want, what does it have to do with me.” Xu Turan said expressionlessly, secretly observing the young man’s face opposite her. Seeing that he only frowned slightly, she finally confirmed her guess completely.
The young man opposite her should be the original’s adopted brother—that domineering CEO whom the original called “butler”.
According to the information Xu Turan had seen, the relationship between the original and this adopted brother was very bad, and she had never been willing to acknowledge his existence. To avoid arousing suspicion, Xu Turan didn’t say much more, and walked straight through the entrance hall and up the stairs.
Fortunately, that domineering CEO adopted brother didn’t seem to intend to follow. Xu Turan sighed in relief, turned around in the few bedrooms on the second floor, and successfully found her own room.
The new batch of supernatural items she had purchased earlier was still packed in that silver box. Xu Turan found the box, and just as she opened it, several prompt sounds suddenly rang out in her mind.
【Congratulations】
【Cong】
【Congcongcong…】
【Congratulations congratulations to you…】
【Congratulations…】
Xu Turan: …?
What’s going on, is it glitching?
The sound rang out a few times, then quickly fell silent again. Xu Turan waited for a few seconds, didn’t hear any more prompts, and was full of question marks, but didn’t stop her action of opening the box.
This time, she had purchased five items again—including that Chaos mirror, all were uniformly Lamp level. The quality was much higher than the previous batch.
Xu Turan was rummaging through the items, trying to find out what had triggered the prompt sounds earlier, when her phone suddenly received a reply from the Taobao store’s customer service:
【Dear Customer, I’ve checked the warehouse for you! Currently there’s only one item with omniscient tendency, but the level isn’t very suitable. Dear Customer, would you like to look at other tendencies?】
Xu Turan: 【? How is it not suitable? Is it Candle level?】
Customer service: 【No no no.】
Customer service: 【It’s like this, the item we found, strictly speaking, is Pyre level… After being suppressed it barely counts as Lamp level, but the seal on it isn’t actually very secure, so it’s still a bit dangerous…】
… Indeed.
Xu Turan pondered for a moment, nodding in agreement.
Then she decisively typed her reply:
【I’ll take it. Where should I go to pick it up?】
Customer service: …?
Eh?
