Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened the system and clicked on the mission list.
There were only 2 missions left on the mission list and they were both Silver Missions.
One was the incomplete [Silver Mission: Establishment].
The other was the completed [Silver Mission: Foundation].
The unfinished mission was gray, and the completed mission was shining with a silver flash.
Looking at the shining [Silver Mission: Foundation (Completed)], Su Yang was excited. 'This is going to be the fourth ability!
'I've unknowingly gained so many abilities!'
'Although I already have 3 Silver Abilities, everytime I obtain a [Silver Point], I will still feel excited from the bottom of my heart. This is because Silver Abilities are the only ones that I can use directly!
'This was the point that has truly transformed him from a "human" to a "God".
'No matter how many special items there are, no matter how many little monsters there are, although they all belong to me, there's still a certain level of difference in between. However, things are different with my Silver Abilities because it's a power that truly belongs to me!'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang ignored the Silver Mission that asked him to own a small island. Instead, he clicked on the [Silver Mission: Foundation].
Suddenly, he heard the notification [Ding, Silver Point +1].
After collecting the [Silver Point], Su Yang went to the toilet. Facing the mirror, he turned on the system to add a point.
As the system activated, a semi-transparent [+] symbol appeared above Su Yang's head.
He reached out to click on the [+] symbol and a notification popped up in front of him.
[Please choose a method to add a point.]
[1. Special Ability], [2. Transforming body part], [3. Activating the Affinity of others]
Su Yang chose option 1.
A system notification popped up.
[Are you sure you want to add a point for the fourth time? The success rate of adding points for the fourth time is very low. If you fail, all the points you have added will be cleared. The success rate of adding a point this time is 2%.]
[Yes], [No].
Su Yang was speechless.
'What the f*ck!
'Why was the success rate of Little Deeny +4 12%, while mine is only 2%!
'It's 6 times worse! And I'm only a fraction of what Little Deeny is! This is outrageous!'
Even though he was complaining, since his success rate was low, Su Yang had no choice but to resign to his fate that he had to waste another 600 coins.
Therefore, he opened the Advanced System Shop and bought 9 [Lucky Stone]. The last time he bought [Lucky Stone] for Little Deeny, he still had 1 leftover, hence he could use that on himself.
After he was done buying, Su Yang held the 10 [Lucky Stone] in his hand and waited for them to disappear. As expected, Su Yang saw that his success rate of+4 increased from 2% to 100%!
Su Yang was relieved and clicked on [Yes].
Following Su Yang's confirmation, a silver-white metal box appeared in front of him like the previous few times. There were 3 words written on the box, [Draw 1]...
Su Yang was already used to the "impolite" behavior of the Silver Ability lottery box. Therefore, he did not mind and reached his hand in. Then, he casually chose a table tennis ball.
The word [Ability] was written on the table tennis ball.
'Hm, it's still an ability. Not bad, not bad.'
The table tennis ball and the box disappeared and a second box appeared before him.
Su Yang reached his hand in and felt it. '6 balls, still the same.'
He grabbed 1, and it had E written on it.
'E...
'E-ranked abilities. Please don't tell me this is the lowest ranked ability?'
Su Yang counted with his fingers. 'Unless A-ranked abilities are the highest, E-ranked abilities would be the lowest!'
Su Yang had an ominous feeling...
The table tennis ball and the box disappeared again.
The last box appeared in front of Su Yang. On the box was a large "E".
Su Yang was deep in thought. 'If I know how to classify A-ranked abilities, then what about those below A-ranked?
'Would a lower level but much more useful ability appear?'
At that thought, Su Yang reached in to grab the ball.
There was still an endless amount of space filled with infinite table tennis balls while he grabbed 1 of them.
After taking out the ball, Su Yang took a look at it and saw the words [Silver Ability: Truth Explosion].
'Like the actual Truth or Dare game?
'Can Truth or Dare also become an ability?
'Then could Aeroplane Chess become an ability?
'This ability is a little ridiculous.'
Just as Su Yang was complaining, the table tennis ball suddenly shone brightly and charged towards Su Yang's head.
Su Yang wanted to dodge out of reflex, but he realized that his body was frozen and he could not move at all.
Therefore, he could only watch as the table tennis ball entered his mind.
At that moment, he felt like his head was being burned by a hot iron and his head hurt. He felt like his head was about to split open and explode!
Thankfully, just as he was about to give in, the pain disappeared and what followed was a refreshing feeling.
Su Yang covered his head and panted heavily. He quickly turned on the tap to wash his face.
'Everytime I absorb a Silver Ability, it's like I'm experiencing a transformation. Although it isn't life threatening, it's still very uncomfortable.'
At that thought, Su Yang turned off the tap and wiped his face. At the same time, a silvery-white interface appeared before him.
[Silver Ability: Truth Or Explosion]
You can play Truth or Dare with anyone. As long as they agree to your request, you will be able to use your ability.
Ability 1 [Truth]: Whatever questions you ask, no matter what the other party answers, you will automatically know their true answer.
Ability 2 [Explosion]: After the other party chooses Dare, you will be able to place a bomb on the other party's body. This bomb can track the other party's location and can also be detonated at a fixed time.
Restriction 1: You can only initiate Truth or Dare twice a day, and the total number of people allowed is less than 10.
Restriction 2: You only know the Truth of 10 questions a day.
Restriction 3: You may only plant bombs on 20 people at the same time. The bombs can last up to 90 days.
Note: If it were you, would you choose Truth or Dare?
After reading through this ability, Su Yang initially thought that the abilities of [Truth] and [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] had overlapped. After all, he could look through the other party's memories and confirm what he wanted to know.
However, Su Yang soon realized that that was not the case. The [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] replayed the events in his memory from a third party's perspective. In fact, in some memory corners, things that the owner of the memory remembered but did not notice could be reenacted.
But that was an objective fact.
The ability [Truth Or Explosion] was actually more subjective. It was more like interrogating a person's true thoughts.
The second ability, [Explosion], allowed Su Yang to kill people remotely or even trackthe location of the people he cared about.
'This ability is great!
'Why is it only ranked as E?'
Su Yang was confused.
Since he had obtained the new ability, Su Yang naturally wanted to give it a try. He wanted to play the game with Tang Xiaomi and plant a bomb on her.
He did not want to kill Tang Xiaomi, but he wanted to be able to locate the brat at any time. Then, he would not have to worry about her getting lost.
'How do you handle a brat who keeps getting lost? Plant a bomb on them. Ahem...'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang went downstairs to look for Tang Xiaomi to test out his Silver Ability.
He exited the virtual space and went downstairs. Tang Xiaomi was still playing with the Lesser Quickgold Monster.
'Recently, since she's come into possession of a Quickgold Monster, Tang Xiaomi did not have the mood to care about Gru and Dagger Girl anymore. However, those 2 little monsters did not seem to miss Tang Xiaomi either as they would drag No. 17, No. 18 and Little Hus out on an adventure...
'That's right, they left the courtyard and went to the isolated island outside the courtyard on an adventure. According to Dagger Girl, they were going to survive on the isolated island.
'Hmm... A little blind monster and a little "mute" going out on an adventure together with a bunch of weird little monsters, I suppose they aren't wrong when they say they're going out to survive on an isolated island.'
As Su Yang approached Tang Xiaomi, he sat down beside her and patted her head. He said gently, "Xiaomi, shall we play a game?"
Tang Xiaomi darted a glance at Su Yang and tightened her grip on the Lesser Quickgold Monster. She looked at him warily. "You're not planning on doing something to my Little Silver, are you?"
'Little Silver? She should be referring to the Quickgold Monster, isn't she?'
Su Yang replied, "I've already given you Little Silver. How could I have any plans for it?"
Tang Xiaomi gave Su Yang a side glance. "Then you're very childish, you're still trying to play with kids at your age?"
Su Yang was speechless.
'Am I being looked down upon?
'I definitely am!
'I never expected that there would be a day when I would be looked down upon by this brat!'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang stopped pretending to be gentle and knocked the brat's head. "Are you going to play or not?"
Tang Xiaomi screamed in pain as Su Yang hit her. She covered her head and shouted, "I'll play! I'll play! I'll play!"
When she saw that Su Yang had stopped what he was doing, she looked at Su Yang cautiously and said with an aggrieved look, "Mommy said that I can't hit my head all the time. I won't be smart if I break it."
Su Yang clicked his tongue. "That doesn't apply to you. You're too smart now."
"Furthermore..." Su Yang took out a set of Sanque's oral fluid from his pocket." You have Jiadian's oral fluid! Jiadian's oral fluid promotes growth, helps you get through puberty, increases your intelligence, a must have for travelling and committing crime."
Tang Xiaomi was speechless.
"Su Yang, we haven't got any cameras here, so why are you suddenly advertising?"
Su Yang was speechless.
'You humorless child.
'Forget it, I'll just use my ability.'
At that thought, Su Yang became serious as well. He said to Tang Xiaomi, "Let's play Truth or Dare."
Tang Xiaomi looked at Su Yang and saw that he was persistent. She sighed and said helplessly, "Alright, let's play then."
As Tang Xiaomi confirmed that she was participating in the game, Su Yang realized that everything had changed...
