Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 532 - 139 Double-Edged Sword (Request for Monthly Ticket)_4

[Today’s number of openings: 2/3]

...

Sigh!

The fog dissipated, the spinning light and shadow ended, and Xu Shu sprung up with a jolt.

He rubbed his brow and gazed at the early morning sun, reflecting on today’s battle achievements, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Is it really that tough?

Stepping into monster lairs at almost every turn, facing overwhelming numbers,

or suddenly encountering enemies of ranks far greater than mine, currently unbeatable!

Although I eventually tricked them and succeeded, my aunt died, and the Yin King’s third-tier crystal was also smashed by the Star Tower, a loss outweighing the gains...

In the Wasteland, is it truly impossible to make a step without being a "Rascal"?

Then, how did those lone rangers, who aren’t Rascals, make it?

Xu Shu felt a splitting headache.

The results of this simulation determined the only safe gains were those of the Slaanesh little Demon and the Alien Flying Head Monster caught messing around in the wild.

But they’re only level 12 and of white quality, even by previous standards, these are mediocre results.

For the now Second Rank Xu Shu, these items are worth less than 100,000, a mere drop in the bucket.

A second-tier Erosion Crystal, estimating a level 10 green for about 250,000, that’s about 2.5 times 100,000.

But this was still considered good luck compared to yesterday, which brought in zero revenue.

If we continue like this, the efficiency is too low.

"Why am I so unlucky? Is my Spiritual Perception really that inferior to a bloodthirst?"

Xu Shu was in pain, when suddenly, his gaze gradually became fixed on Spiritual Perception.

"Wait, could it be that my Spiritual Perception is causing this trouble... Hmm, seems very likely."

Xu Shu’s eyes widened.

In the recent future simulation, to find monsters more quickly, he kept his Spiritual Perception active, using Spiritual Vision to search for monster tracks.

Clearly, this was effective.

However, Spiritual Perception and a Rascal’s thirst for blood are completely different things.

Bloodthirst senses "threat location" and "threat intensity," allowing avoidance of numerous monsters and searching for solo monsters, although it often causes misunderstandings when two Rascals of the same rank "bloodthirst" each other and discover the other is human. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

But Spiritual Perception is different, it’s more of a mystical thing, a passive skill that gives Xu Shu a premonitory tingling when sensing danger, and when activated, helps him unconsciously choose locations with stronger spiritual fluctuations in decision-making situations.

For example, if there are two pathways ahead and one has monsters, by following his intuition with Spiritual Perception, Xu Shu can choose the path with monsters.

That’s the rationale.

The key problem is, this doesn’t seem controllable.

It’s like the classic dilemma of choosing queues.

With two queues ahead, no matter which you choose, you always end up in the relatively slower one.

And Xu Shu is now in a similar situation.

His spiritual intuition helps him find the direction of monsters relatively faster, but does it also mean that stronger enemies are more likely to attract Xu Shu’s Spiritual Perception?

The answer is definitely yes.

Although there is a possibility to avoid danger by thinking "if I instinctively want to go to A, then deliberately choose B," how can you prove that your spiritual intuition deems A to be more dangerous? What if your spiritual intuition judged B, and to conform to your intuition, you decided on your own that "I originally wanted to go to A, which means A is dangerous, so I should go to B"?

This is a paradox.

So, no matter what choice you make, you’ll end up on a path that matches the more active spiritual intuition.

That means choosing the path shrouded in mystery and relatively more dangerous.

So this ability, while good for finding traces of monsters and improving the odds of encountering them,

is relatively challenging, especially when one’s own power isn’t sufficient, essentially becoming a perfect Ultimate Skill for seeking death.

Oh, man, buddy.

Xu Shu couldn’t help but feel troubled.

"Alright, let’s just take what we can get and not waste it, even a mosquito is still meat."

Xu Shu didn’t ponder further, he quickly called Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming, left the Wasteland, sneaking and hiding, following the remembered route, rushed straight to that battlefield, and managed to capture the Slaanesh little Demon and Alien Flying Head Monster.
