Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 129 - 128: The Offspring System She Bound Is……
Ultimately, Yu Yan still hadn’t evaded Sally’s curious heart and let her taste it.
After drinking, Sally felt her mouth was moistened, but she had no other sensations, it was neither sweet nor flavorful, completely ordinary.
"Let’s go look for Dragon Claw Vine instead," Sally continued to walk forward.
Whenever she saw a spot on the map that flickered with golden light, she would go over to take a look. If she found it interesting, she’d eat it; if not, she’d pass it to Yu Yan and Yin Zang.
Sally noticed that Yin Zang seemed quite interested in collecting these items, so she gave him all the treasures not listed as mission objectives to keep.
His gaining strength was the same as strengthening her squad, which was a good thing.
After all, it wouldn’t be right if he risked his life following her to the Holy War and got nothing in return.
So whatever good things they found, she gave to them.
While Sally was busy searching for items and enjoying herself, roars of beasts resounded from the depths of the Beast Forest.
"Abyssal Beasts?" Sally, having slaughtered over ten thousand Abyssal Beasts, was now quite familiar with that sound.
"Shall we go take a look?" Yin Zang immediately rose in fighting spirit.
Sally shook her head, "No, we have enough Curse Stones."
[Reminder to the host: The Curse Stones obtained from killing Abyssal Beasts in the previous stage are equivalent to points and cannot be used to account for this stage’s trial.] Xiaomei’s voice rang out.
The expression on Sally’s face collapsed instantly.
"Our comrade Xiaomei just said that the Curse Stones from the previous stage can’t be used; hoping to cut corners is impossible. Let’s go, kill Abyssal Beasts," she said.
Both of them immediately understood and followed Sally towards the deeper parts of the Beast Forest.
...
By coincidence, they encountered a man and a woman fleeing in panic from the depths of the Beast Forest.
Sally and her companions exchanged glances, as the two were from the squad they previously encountered without exchanging greetings, the one with one female and three males.
"What’s wrong?" Sally asked the woman.
While still running, the woman said, "The Abyssal Beasts inside are very powerful, you guys should run too."
"What about the other two?" Sally asked another question.
The woman paused, her steps halting, and looked at Sally, suspicious, "How do you know?"
Right after the words left her lips, Sally realized it wasn’t good to know that the other group consisted of four individuals without having exchanged greetings previously.
"We saw you guys earlier, just that I’m a bit socially anxious, so I didn’t say anything," Yin Zang improvised on the spot.
"Social anxiety?" The woman sized up Yin Zang’s physique and the explosive innate power within him, then looked back at Sally with a touch of envy in her eyes.
Sally said, "Blame me for being a bit introverted, I don’t like to trouble others. But if there’s anything that needs help, I won’t refuse."
The woman looked at her, then back at the depths of the Beast Forest, "The Abyssal Beasts here are terrifyingly strong, you better take care."
The two of them continued to run away swiftly.
Sally intended to ask for Yu Yan’s and Yin Zang’s opinions, but seeing Yin Zang’s rapidly rising battle readiness and Yu Yan’s eagerness... never mind, she would just play a supportive role.
The so-called terrifyingly strong Abyssal Beast didn’t last ten rounds against Yin Zang before it turned into a large chunk of Curse Stone.
Sally took out a Storage Bag, specifically for storing Curse Stones, "Ten thousand pieces, finished in two days, is that okay?"
"No problem!" Yin Zang moved his shoulders, readily agreeing, "As long as there are enough Abyssal Beasts."
Yu Yan didn’t speak, but the confidence in his demeanor confirmed it.
The three made their way toward the abyssal region of the Beast Forest.
Before long, sounds of artillery fire could be heard from within and billows of thick smoke rose into the sky.
Outside the forest, two men clad in white cloaks with hoods over their heads, looked at the thick smoke.
One of them spoke with a calm and ripple-free voice, "It’s Curse-Expelling Smoke."
The other said, "The female from Lichuan 9908?"
"Yes."
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
"Should we go and check where she got the Curse-Expelling Smoke?"
"9908 is a very cautious female, just check from the Offspring System."
"I’m afraid that won’t work."
"Why not?"
"What she’s bound to is... Ark System No. 002. The Ark System comes with a strong anti-reconnaissance function, unless it’s willing, forcibly entering its data will cause irreversible harm to the host. Besides, forcefully entering might not even be successful. The upper echelons have already noticed her information from the previous phase, and someone has undoubtedly tried to get in through the system. But there’s been no movement until now, which probably means they haven’t succeeded."
"That is indeed troublesome. But I remember all Ark Systems were supposed to be phased out with that person’s death, how come the system department still has its code."
"When 9908 was binding with a system, an original virus got into her soul’s core. To remove the virus, only the original antivirus operating system could be used. At that time, all systems were already updated, and only the 002 Ark System, lying in the trash about to be disposed of, still had the original antivirus function. They intended to uninstall 002 after removing the virus and destroy it completely. However, a programmer was careless and directly deployed 9908 onto the Mortal Beast-grade continent."
"Once a system is deployed, it can’t be changed unless... 9908 fails in this Holy War, there might still be a chance to completely obliterate 002."
"Right, the committee now intends to let 9908 fail in the second phase, but they also want to get their hands on those Curse-Expelling weapons she has."
"Did she enter the Holy War short of members?"
"Short of members? Yes, her squad only has three males, missing two. If she wants to fill the ranks, she can find two more males during the Holy War."
"You go."
"I’d rather not. Undercover work is not my forte, I’d be exposed in no time. And the hosts of the Offspring System are said to be quite twisted!"
"...then forget it, we’ll think of something else."
’Achoo—’ Sally suddenly sneezed.
Yu Yan looked over, "What’s the matter? Sister Sally."
Sally replied, "Maybe some kid is thinking about me."
Yu Yan joked, "Or maybe it’s some kid’s daddy missing Sister Sally."
Sally: "...Scram! You’re still short 14,680 Curse Stones to kill your Abyssal Beast."
Hearing that number, Yu Yan was immediately motivated, "Sis Sally, lend me a rocket launcher to use."
Sally: ...Those are all points!
But to win the Holy War and resurrect Zi Qi, those points had to be spent.
Sally reluctantly handed over the rocket launcher to Yu Yan, "But conserve it, it was bought with points."
"Don’t worry, Sister Sally, I’ll earn them back for you," Yu Yan happily stroked the rocket launcher, "How about gifting this to me?"
"If you can make a million Holy War Points, I’ll give it to you, plus a thousand rounds of ammunition."
"No problem!" Yu Yan immediately dashed towards the Abyssal Beast horde.
Yin Zang watched with envy, "That, if I also earn a million Holy War Points—"
Sally snapped her fingers decisively, "You’ll get one too."
"Great." Yin Zang grabbed a box of grenades and plunged into the den with the most Abyssal Beasts.
Sally teleported to the trunk of a huge tree, looked up at the dense canopy through which she couldn’t see the sky at all.
After spacing out for a while, she took out the Green Jade Box that Yu Yan treasured so much from the System Space.
