[Name: Wang Nan]
[Race: Human]
[Realm: None]
[Demon Sutra: None]
[Bloodline: None]
[Talent: Foreseeing the Future (Unique)]
[Demon Power: 0 Points]
“Foresee the future?” Su Nan’s gaze swiftly scanned the Personal Information Panel, immediately focusing on the Talent column.
There was no helping it; the Talent was the only content on an otherwise empty panel.
[Foreseeing the Future (Unique): The future bears countless possibilities. As a child of destiny, you will be able to see events up to three minutes into the future. Usage today: 3/3.]
“Foreseeing events three minutes into the future seems to be quite a strong ability!”
“What does this Unique term mean? Does it mean only I possess this Talent?” Su Nan’s eyes lit up.
Although he still didn’t know the specific effect of foreseeing the future for three minutes, the brief introduction indicated that this ability was indeed extraordinary.
This game had a high level of difficulty, as many players struggled to complete the Novice Task due to the fact that they had only one life per day. Once dead, they could only wait until the next day.
In such a situation, if he could foresee the future and learn about impending crises, it would undoubtedly increase his chances of survival.
Maybe with the help of this ability, he could really complete a two-star or even a three-star Task!
“It’s a pity that the foreseeing time is too short. If only the time could be longer.”
“Furthermore, this ability can only be used three times a day. It just isn’t enough!”
After some brief excitement, Su Nan was dissatisfied. The short foreseeing time could be compensated by the number of uses – consecutive predictions to make up for the lack of time in each prediction.
However, the limited number of uses drastically weakened the power of this ability.
“Let’s first see how effective it is, and try to escape from here.”
The game didn’t pause when he checked his information. The heavy footsteps outside the prison cell were getting closer, and it wouldn’t be long before they reached the cell where the others were.
Without time to think, Su Nan immediately used the “Foreseeing the Future” Talent.
Immediately afterwards, a string of text quickly appeared before him.
The effect of “Foreseeing the Future” was presented in the form of text information!
[Footsteps are getting closer, and finally, two minutes later, they stop outside your cell.]
[A great danger approaches, and the other prisoners in the cell are even more terrified, instinctively curling up and trying to stay as close to the dark corners as possible, reducing their presence.]
[Seeing their reactions, you realize that staying in the cell isn’t safe, and being inside is akin to a sitting duck. If you want to survive, you must escape.]
[You have confidence in your ability to escape and decide to make a break for it the moment the prison door opens.]
[The sturdy prison door opens, and two terrifying figures appear before you – wolf-headed humanoids.]
[In that instant, you who have been prepared to escape suddenly rush out, but sadly your speed is too slow, and you have no knowledge of the demon’s strength. You don’t even have a chance to step out of the cell before being slapped back into it.]
[You died!]
[Before your death, you realize that the two demons are too strong, and with them around, you can’t escape.]
“Dead? That was a bit reckless.”
“No wonder no one plays this, what a garbage game!”
Looking at the information before him, Su Nan was speechless.
Within the predicted time, from beginning to end, he hardly did anything before the game character died.
There was no sense of gaming experience!
Now he finally understood why other players said the game was difficult.
“I just tried to escape, and the direction of the foreseeing moved toward escaping. If I don’t think about escaping directly, but think about how to survive, what will be the outcome?”
A thought occurred to Su Nan, and he couldn’t help but use his Talent again.
However, this time, there was no information on the Personal Information Panel, and the foreseeing the future had not been used successfully.
“The Talent is not cooled down yet!”
He saw that on the Personal Information Panel, behind the Talent “foreseeing the future,” there was a Countdown.
49, 48, 47…
“It’s been about ten seconds since I used the Talent last time, and there are still more than forty seconds left for it to be cooled down this time. It seems that the Talent’s cooldown time is one minute.”
“The two demons will come in two minutes, and although I still have two chances to use foreseeing today, there is no time left. I can only use it once more. If I can’t find a way to survive next time, I will die.”
Although the Talent of foreseeing the future seems strong, it has many limitations.
Not to mention that it can only foresee for three minutes at a time, but it can also only be used three times a day.
Now there is an additional cooldown time. Even if it is not very long, the danger increases by a minute in this crisis situation.
Moreover, from the result of the first time, once he dies in the foreseeing, the foreseeing stops and he has no idea what will happen afterwards.
“Having it is better than not having it. People should be content!” Su Nan consoled himself, waiting quietly.
The footsteps were getting closer, and finally, the Talent cooldown time ended, Su Nan didn’t even think about it, and immediately used the Talent.
[Danger is approaching. With your previous experience, you know that running away directly is a dead-end. To survive, you must think of other ways. You plan to stay with the other four youths in the prison cell.]
[You quickly scan the people in the prison cell, and in your opinion, staying with the two youths on the right seems safer. You plan to stay with the two youths on the right.]
[However, before that, you think of how powerless you are now, which makes you feel very insecure. You search the prison cell for useful things.]
[Fortunately, you find a Slightly Rusty Dagger two steps ahead of you, and at the same time, an unknown Key is found one step to the right.]
[The appearance of the Dagger brings you a little comfort. You hold the Dagger tightly, quickly go to the right corner, and curl up with the other two youths.]
“The direction of the foreseeing has changed.”
“Sure enough, my consciousness can change the direction of the foreseeing.” Su Nan’s eyes flashed with joy.
Being able to choose the direction of the foreseeing on his own undoubtedly greatly increased the value of this Talent.
[The sturdy prison door opens, and the terrifying Wolf-headed humanoid demon appears in front of you again. Its ruthless gaze scans the room, the eyes of the two monsters falling on the corner where you are.]
[Unfortunately, you and the other youth next to you are selected by the demon.]
[You grip the Dagger, wanting to resist, but your actions anger the demon.]
[You are dead.]
He dies again in the foreseeing.
But this time, Su Nan is not only not disappointed, but his eyes light up.
“Since the two demons will choose me hiding in the right corner, does it mean that as long as I hide in the left corner, I can escape this disaster?”
From the Information of foreknowledge, it can be confirmed that the demons will only take away two people each time. As long as he mixes in with the four people, the chances of being selected can be reduced.
Now that he already knows what will happen next, he can avoid it ahead of time.
Looking at the two people on the left side of the prison cell, Su Nan made a decision.
Outside the prison cell, the footsteps of the demons were getting clearer, leaving him little time left.
There were still more than forty seconds of cooldown time for the “foreseeing the future”. Now he had no other choice.
Su Nan did not go straight to the left corner, but searched in the two steps ahead of him, trying to find the two items mentioned in the foreseeing just now.
Soon, he found the Slightly Rusty Dagger, and at the same time, he found an unknown Key one step to the right.
[Dagger: Ordinary item. It may be sharp for killing people, but it is undoubtedly a dream to use it to kill the demon.]
[Slightly Rusty Key: Ordinary item. An unknown person lost the Key. Upon careful observation, you can vaguely see that there are two numbers, 2 and 4, engraved on the Key.]
There was no time to look more. Holding the Dagger tightly, Su Nan quickly moved to the left corner, suppressing the weakness of his body, and squeezed together with the other two youths.
