Chapter 443: You're My Jackpot

Chapter 445 You're My Jackpot

Before he left, Compass Carburettor implanted a Blood Vitality Grass in Grisha, Ranze and Xuer, informing the three about its uses, its natural healing functions, and its ability to strengthen their bodies.

He also informed them about its various requirements for growth. Grisha didn't even bat an eye that he was planting something dangerous in her. She had an innate trust and loyalty toward him.

The fact of her being disappointed in him for not furthering a romantic relationship between the two didn't affect her. It only served to raise her respect for him. After all, through actions, Compass Carburettor showed that he wouldn't waver in his quest.

It had to be noted that in the Apocalypse World, after Grisha recalled her memories of the previous loops, her loyalty jumped up from the hundreds to the three hundred. Among everyone part of the Secret Society, she had the highest loyalty towards him.

There was a lot to note in this case. Because, Grisha's loyalty wasn't blind. She had more than enough experience to completely see-through someone.

Even though she hadn't stated explicitly, what she looked at in Compass Carburettor was hope. And, hope wasn't something that would diminish just for a mere failure in reciprocating romance.

To be honest, even Grisha wasn't sure if what she felt towards Compass Carburettor was love or not. But, one thing she was assured of. It was that she respected him the most.

Ranze noticed the level of trust between the two individuals before him, feeling envious for some reason. He was a bit averse at first, but his Divine Spirit consoled him that if the Blood Vitality Grass became dangerous to his existence, it had the means to destroy it.

That was why he assured Xuer to also obtain it.

As for Bunuela, she didn't trust Compass Carburettor. She also didn't trust Xuer that much either. The two had only been in contact for less than a day after all.

That's why, Compass Carburettor didn't ask her, planting the Blood Vitality Grass in Fisksher as he left.

The Claw Wolf had grown a bit stronger recently after its Blood Vitality Grass absorbed the blood of the cultivators that died in the Imperial Treasury.

Compass Carburettor too did the same, noticing his body becoming stronger.

After a few hours of travel, they arrived at the Temperate Refinement Zone as Compass Carburettor noticed his Origin Essence turning sluggish immediately. He quickly took out the Mutated Blood Vitality Grass from his storage bracelet, holding it carefully as the Claw Wolf traversed through the rubble.

The moment he reached the core of the region, Compass Carburettor felt his luck beginning to be consumed. But, his recovery speed was slightly superior as he was able to manage roaming in this place.

If he hadn't killed Holla and Velcorn, this wouldn't have been possible.

Soon, Compass Carburettor reached the centre, noticing the water covered with blood. The water here had a mysterious property, preventing it from evaporating due to the desert heat.

Therefore, dullin's body was still perfectly intact, same for all the blood that had spilt out of his body.

Compass Carburettor didn't take action immediately though. He waited patiently, continuing to sense his luck values.

Dullin wielded Bad Luck. And with his death, his bad luck was released into the environment. Currently, this bad luck was being consumed to affect him.

So, Compass Carburettor was waiting until all the bad luck was consumed. Only after that would whatever action he takes work as intended. Otherwise, too many failures would crop up unexpectedly.

Thanks to the speciality of the region, Dullin's body didn't rot. And since the region had collapsed to a certain extent, none of the cultivators even bothered to come here anymore.

The most intact region was the centre, and that was only due to the concentration of the region's effect there. But, none were able to traverse this deep. And the part of the region that they could access was currently destroyed.

Training here was only a tad better than training anywhere else. So, instead of wasting their time, they could focus that attention on other beneficial regions.

Since the Claw Wolf was unable to reach the centre, Compass Carburettor left it to patrol around the perimeter of the core region as a form of protection.

Thanks to the Blood Vitality Grass and the Blood Vitality Attribute of its origin Essence, the Claw Wolf was pretty much the strongest in this region.

Three days passed in such a fashion as Compass Carburettor had been meditating all along, opening his eyes once he noticed his luck values beginning to recover faster and faster, "All the bad luck has been used up."

He didn't immediately use the Mutated Blood Vitality Grass though, taking out a Mental Energy Sphere that he had brought in a pouch, placing it in Dullin's mouth. This was the same as what he used to pay the Conspiracy Slayer System.

Compass Carburettor focused on the Mental Energy Sphere, noticing that it had slowly begun to melt, with its energy being absorbed by Dullin, "As expected."

Systems thrive through Mental Energy. So, they would have modified the bodies of their Hosts to be capable of digesting Mental Energy. That was why the Blood Vitality Grass gained traits of Mental Energy on its border after absorbing Holla and Velcorn.

It was because their bodies were full of Mental Energy that they were digesting. This was the Mental Energy directed at them by the tens of thousands of cultivators that had been aiming for them, especially Velcorn, who was famous after portraits of him was transferred to every powerhouse thanks to the scroll.

So, as the Blood Vitality Grass continued to grow, it absorbed an insane amount of Mental Energy, everything collected by the Perfect Timing System and the Lucky Bastard System. It was also to note that Velcorn and Holla were System Hosts.

Meaning, the two Systems had fused into their bodies.

And what did the Mutated Blood Vitality Grass do?

It absorbed their entirety.

"Indeed, the Restriction Order only sealed System powers. But that doesn't mean they vanished." Compass Carburettor grinned as he gazed at the Mutated Blood Vitality Grass, "You're my jackpot."
