Chapter 403: Chapter 403

Truth be told, Du You had always been living on his own, so having a family member around was quite nice. However, his sister’s character could be a bit unbearable sometimes.

She always teased him for no reason, always trying to push him around, pulling tricks on him. She always had the upper hand, leaving him no chance to fight back or run away.

These past three days, Du You felt as though he was living amidst hellfire and torrential waters. However, after those three days, Du Yun mentioned that she would be leaving, and Du You felt a sense of reluctance.

"Aren’t you going to hang out for a few more days? You’re leaving so soon." Du You really didn’t want to see his sister leaving.

Reflecting on the previous life, his sister had made a lot of sacrifices for the family. This time around, she was not as tired, looking radiant and well-rested. Du You genuinely hoped that she could stay the same.

Despite being bullied to quite an extent, Du You still wished his sister could spend more time at their home.

"Nope, our team has a ton of stuff to deal with, no time to spare. This time out was only possible because I asked for time off. Once I return, it’ll take a while to catch up with work."

"So, when will you be back next time?" Du You sighed, he already knew the answer.

Regardless of the world, people can’t always do as they like. Back in the past life, everyone was hustling for work. Anyone would wish to spend more time with their families, but how many could actually fulfill that desire?

In this life, everyone’s a Professional, hence the struggle for their own future became even more intense. If one doesn’t strive in this life, there may even be a risk of losing their own life - reality is this cruel.

"Next time, who knows? Perhaps next year, or maybe two years later."

Du You was stunned, surprised by such a long time. Seems like life isn’t so easy for their team either.

"Here, this is my contact number. If there’s anything important, just leave a message in the Magic Network, I’ll be able to see it then. Also, stop disturbing mom and dad, they have more important stuff to attend to."

Is that so? Du You didn’t know about that, rolling his eyes, he felt as though he had matured quite a bit.

He had no idea what his parents were researching, but after asking a few questions, it seemed like his sister wasn’t too sure about it either, causing Du You to just give up on questioning.

Watching his sister leave, Du You shook his head and logged on to the Magic Network.

Browsing casually, he didn’t expect to find anything useful. But as he continued, Du You surprisingly found something that was a perfect fit for him. It was a Skill Record Disc, the skill was Putrid Insect Mist, and it was a spell skill.

Putrid Insect Mist: Using dark forces to form Carrion Dark Scarabs to attack the target, the target’s flesh would be devoured and through devouring the flesh, more Carrion Dark Scarabs would be formed. Each Carrion Dark Scarab would stay around for 5 minutes. (Level 1, 8-star)

Who would have thought that there’d be a skill that fits him so well? The dark attribute was inherently a curse, and it was as high as 8 stars. Such a star rating is not learnable by ordinary people, they can only learn it by reducing its level with crystal coins.

However, Du You himself still needed to upgrade the star rating, but not by much, so the cost wouldn’t be too high. Looking at the Red Crystal Coins he had left in his hand, it should be enough.

Having broken through to becoming an Awakener, many skills faced an upgrade transformation and could not be further enhanced temporarily. Du You severely lacked skills, especially attack-type skills. Soul Pierce was powerful but didn’t match him. To reform the Soul Pierce skill would cost a lot. Although Du You could afford it, he still needs to reserve his Red Crystal Coins for other things.

In the end, he settled with this. Du You still had quite a lot of crystal coins left for trading.

The Putrid Insect Mist didn’t seem to be very sellable, so the price wasn’t too high. Du You bought it for just two thousand White Crystal Coins, which was very cheap for a skill.

He got the skill the same day. Du You didn’t hesitate to upgrade it right away, forming a 10-star skill. As soon as it formed, it upgraded to level 11, adding a new skill. It looks like there will be no need to start from level 1 to level up from now on.

This skill is most useful on the battlefield to clear out grunts.

Each Carrion Dark Scarab only stays around for 5 minutes, but there were so many corpses on the battlefield. 5 minutes was enough for the beetles to gnaw the rotting flesh and split into a large number of beetles.

These beetles may not be very powerful individually, but if there are many of them, the threat is significant. Even Du You would feel goosebumps when seeing so many beetles.

The beetles summoned by Du You were tried and tested, they didn’t have any poison. But once bitten, the wound starts to rot, and the rotting speed is quite fast. If there are more than a hundred beetles, any second-tier creature will feel a headache.

With these, Du You felt more confident. Next up, Du You’s plans were pretty much set.

Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were approaching the optimal age for Law Formalization. While he still had the time, Du You went to the market again to search for what he needed. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Last time, he had used up almost all of his magic potions on the mission, so he needed to restock this time.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any territory maps this time, he didn’t know whether his luck was good last time or if he was just unlucky this time.

However, Du You found other useful stuff for himself.

"Thunder Attribute crystal cores, might interest Xiaozi, I wonder what skill is inside." Du You looked at the Thunder Attribute crystal core sold as a material and bought it without a second thought.

He’ll know what it’s used for once he feeds it to Xiaozi.

"Pet items on sale now! Don’t miss out!" Suddenly, Du You saw a store on the market having a big sale, and their feature product was pet gear.

These pets weren’t for playing with. Du You thought for a while before walking into the store.

Like Du You, there were quite a number of people who chose to come in, and many transactions had been made as soon as he entered.

"Curse Bell, increases the power of curses by 15, pet exclusive. Perfect, I can hang it on the Cursed Crow King’s neck as soon as I return." Du You purchased this red-rated Curse Bell.

The Curse Bell wasn’t costly, costing only one thousand three hundred Red Crystal Coins, probably because it was hard to sell due to its niche market.

Generally, no one would choose a pet that specializes in curses.

"Thundering Ankle Ring, Thunder and Lightning attributes pet exclusive, increases Thunder and Lightning’s power by 14. Red-rated, and it costs eight thousand Red Crystal Coins? This price difference is too huge. Is it because Thunder and Lightning Attributes are more common?"

Just after Du You complained, he suddenly noticed someone seemed interested in it. Without a second thought, Du You quickly went forward to check out and got hold of it. No choice, this item was too suitable for Xiaozi.
