Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 48 Part 1

Chapter 48: Long, Long Ago, the Dragon Suddenly Appeared

With the upgrade of the quality “Snow White Queen”, its corresponding special skills “Ice No. 7” and “Ice No. 18” were also upgraded to Candle level.

The crystallization speed and crystal hardness of “Ice No. 7” were improved, and Xu Turan’s control over crystallization was further strengthened.

To give an example. If she had a glass of water, the previous Xu Turan could only freeze an ice layer in it, and the thickness of the ice layer depended on her mental state, and even somewhat on luck; but now Xu Turan…

She could at least determine exactly how thick the ice layer she froze was. If she was in good condition, she could even freeze the entire glass of water at once.

…It just wasted some glasses. After all, the volume of ice is still different from water, and after freezing completely, the volume expands, which can easily cause the glass to burst. Therefore, Xu Turan only tried it twice simply, confirmed the feel, and then gave up.

As for “Ice No. 18”, it still followed the mode of consuming points with a probability of triggering, but the skill trigger rate increased from 50% to 65%. Xu Turan felt this probability was high enough, so she tried to use 20 Courting Death Value points in a row. After 20 attempts, she got nothing, so she silently gave up, planning to pick an auspicious day to try again later.

…If only she could adjust the panel of the Courting Death Value system, this special skill would have been rolled out of her skill bar already.

It’s worth mentioning that the probability of triggering “Abnormal Rationality” after using “Ice No. 7” hasn’t changed, still at 10%. Considering her somewhat poor luck, Xu Turan seemed to suddenly understand why she had used “Ice No. 7” for so long before and remained fine, until she continuously used it later for the sake of courting death, finally successfully triggering “Abnormal Rationality”…

In a sense, this kind of luck also has its pros and cons.

So far, she had completed the upgrade of two ability tendencies. “Chaos” was at Lamp level, “Natural Disaster” at Candle level. “Beast” and “Order” were still at the “Firefly” stage, and hadn’t acquired corresponding special skills.

Externally, her claimed ability tendencies were “Natural Disaster”, “Beast”, and “Eternal Day”—because “Beast” was not taken seriously, and “Eternal Day” was purely a lie, so during this period, her main training direction was only “Natural Disaster”.

Theoretically, the organization generally supports ability users with natural disaster tendencies to upgrade. However, Xu Turan was also clear that her upgrade speed was abnormally fast, and directly revealing it might not be a good thing, so she quietly kept it to herself.

Only during the last training session the next day, she casually mentioned that she seemed to have entered the “server” in a dream, which was considered laying the groundwork for future explosions, giving the training teacher some mental preparation.

This person Xu Turan, when she’s not having an episode… no, not causing trouble, is actually quite likable. At least from the outside, she’s quiet, aloof, polite, generous, and doesn’t fuss over things, with a temperament that elders like.

The training teacher who was in charge of her was quite old and took good care of Xu Turan. Plus, she performed well in several missions, although she was a bit “clumsy”. She tended to run around in panic, and was “timid”, easily “scared”, but overall, she didn’t drag others down, which was considered qualified for a newcomer.

In short, that training teacher had quite a good impression of Xu Turan. Hearing her say that she had already touched the threshold of upgrading, he gave her a lot of encouragement, and even took the initiative to teach her how to exchange for drugs that could help upgrade by doing more missions.

“Oh, by the way, have you considered finding a partner? Or finding a teacher?” In the end, the training teacher suddenly changed the subject, “You’re at a low level now, and if you’re alone, you actually don’t have many mission opportunities… Of course, you’re part-time and still need to study, so you should participate in fewer of these missions. But if you want to exchange for drugs, you still need to strive…”

Xu Turan certainly didn’t need to exchange for drugs. She had her own way of upgrading. However, having more mission opportunities was always good for her.

“Can you tell me more about this?” she asked curiously, “Partners and teachers?”

“A partner is a companion who goes on missions with you, a fixed teammate. You bind your accounts, and you can team up for missions. As for a teacher, it’s finding an old employee to follow, who can guide you from time to time. Similar to the mentoring system in regular companies.”

The training teacher explained: “After all, our missions are of a special nature, basically of a group nature. Having a few fixed partners to cultivate some tacit understanding can sometimes achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Xu Turan thoughtfully said “oh”, and for some reason, her first reaction was Yang Buqi.

But that guy, always being called out for emergencies, probably doesn’t have much time to guide newcomers, right?

…But from another perspective, the events Yang Buqi can participate in are generally major events. This kind of mission, the Courting Death Value that can be squeezed out is always more than the general ones…

Xu Turan thought silently, completely unaware that her description of Courting Death Value had already upgraded from “fishing” to “squeezing”.

No way around it, the previous three missions had too little oil and water. She tried her best to squeeze out just over 100 points.

Anyway, Yang Buqi couldn’t be contacted for the time being, so Xu Turan didn’t think much about it. She bid farewell to the training teacher and wandered around the building alone, unconsciously walking to the floor where Yang Buqi’s office was located, when she suddenly heard a knocking sound.

She curiously went over to take a look and saw a girl in red clothes gently knocking on the door of Yang Buqi’s office.

Xu Turan quietly observed for a few seconds, then kindly said, “He’s not here.”

The girl said “eh”, turned to look at her, and scratched her face a bit embarrassedly: “Is that so. Then when will he be back?”

“Don’t know. He went out of town.” Xu Turan said, “Do you have something urgent to find him for?”

“It’s not really urgent.” The girl became more embarrassed, “The coffee machine in the pantry broke down, I wanted to ask if I could borrow Captain Yang’s…”

When Yang Buqi was taking care of Xu Turan at her home before, he had used her coffee machine once and was very impressed. After returning, he put the same model in his office. This coffee machine was quite expensive and indeed of good quality, causing envy for a while. Yang Buqi simply announced in the big group chat that anyone who needed to use it could come and borrow it.

Unfortunately, this girl came at a bad time, just when he was on a business trip.

Xu Turan said “oh” and turned to leave. After a few steps, she heard the pitter-patter of footsteps behind her, and the girl in red clothes followed up.
