With a thought, Lin Luo tapped on that line of text.
"Ding! Congratulations on receiving an achievement reward!"
"Congratulations on acquiring the skill -- Human Insurance."
"Skill Type: Active"
"Skill Effect: Consumes 1 Spooky Power to form a membrane around the body, capable of resisting the invasion of 3 Spooky Power of the same grade. Cooldown is one minute."
"(In such a Dangerous Grade World, how can one not have their own insurance?)"
Lin Luo's eyes lit up. Ignoring the absurd name, this skill was incredibly reassuring!
Moreover, the cooldown was very short, only one minute. If a battle occurred, it could be used several times in a single fight!
Compared to the skill named "Bunny Bunny," which sounded so cute, this one was infinitely more practical.
After studying the new skill for a while, he chose to close his eyes and rest. A moment later, the bus stopped at the next stop.
As a squelching sound echoed, Lin Luo felt a slimy sensation on the left side of his body.
He turned his head to see an indescribable, opaque white sludge sitting in the seat beside him.
It couldn't really be called 'sitting'; it was more like it was precariously placed on the seat.
Perhaps due to gravity, it expanded its body to the left and right while maintaining its overall volume.
"What are you looking at? Be careful with your eyes. I really like pretty eyes."
"Oh! My goodness, I just noticed how beautiful your eyes are."
"Name your price. How many gray coins for your eyes?"
"Ding! Plain-Class Abnormality Kaili Ni has issued a quest to you:
Sell your eyes to him. Name a price.
Quest Completion Reward: 100 gray coins, Kaili Ni's Favor +50."
Suddenly, numerous eyes appeared on the surface of the sludge, even blinking continuously.
To be fair, each of these eyes looked quite good individually.
How friendly! He's actually willing to spend gray coins to buy my eyes.
Lin Luo felt a bit moved, so he decisively chose to imbue his fist with Spooky Power, reciprocating with his enthusiasm.
Squelch--
Kaili Ni let out a painful wail, all the eyes retracted into his body, and his entire body tightly shrunk into a ball, moving far away from Lin Luo.
"Sir, I was wrong! Please spare me!
Do you want eyes? I have many beautiful eyes here. If you need them, I can give them to you."
"Ding! Plain-Class Abnormality Kaili Ni has issued a quest to you:
Accept his gift and randomly receive a beautiful eye.
Quest Completion Reward: 10 gray coins, Kaili Ni's Favor +60."
Oh my goodness, why would a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality choose to ride the bus?!
3000 gray coins can buy the cheapest Beetle Car.
And Dangerous Grade Abnormalities, their monthly income should be at least 5000 gray coins, right?
I didn't expect to meet such an approachable Dangerous-Grade Abnormality!
Lin Luo's gaze towards Kaili Ni also changed due to the two consecutive quest prompts.
This was the first time he had encountered an Abnormality that gave out quests so easily.
Moreover, it gave a lot of Favor.
On the system panel, there was a Friend Compendium, where all Abnormalities who had even 1 Favor towards Lin Luo were recorded.
Currently, their compendium colors were all gray, and at the bottom of the compendium, there was a progress bar of 100.
What would happen when the progress bar was full?
Lin Luo extended his left hand towards Kaili Ni.
The white sludge trembled continuously as Lin Luo's left hand approached, making squelching sounds.
"Sir, please spare me! I was blind at first, I was wrong."
Slap--
Lin Luo gently patted him, smiling as he said, "How could I blame you? Didn't you want to give me an eye? I accept."
Kaili Ni stopped trembling. The white sludge formed a hand, holding a beautiful eye.
"I knew it, you must be magnanimous and broad-minded!"
He ingratiatingly moved the eye closer to Lin Luo.
It felt a bit slimy to the touch, similar to Wei Weisi's tentacles.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest! You received 10 gray coins, Kaili Ni's Favor +60."
In the Friend Compendium, Kaili Ni's image began to form, and the progress bar below instantly surged to more than half.
Currently, this should be the Abnormality with the highest Favor towards Lin Luo.
As soon as the quest completion notification appeared, Lin Luo immediately spoke.
"You gave me a gift, so naturally, I should return the favor. Does that sound right to you?"
"Of course not! I gave you a gift to express my profound reverence for you!"
You didn't say that before. I remember you even wanted to buy my eyes with gray coins.
"Think carefully again, do you want me to return the favor?"
Kaili Ni sensed something was off; this tone wasn't right!
Why did it feel like this Sir really wanted him to ask for a return gift?
Could he really be that approachable!?
He cautiously said, "Um, I need your return gift?"
"Ding! Plain-Class Abnormality Kaili Ni has issued a quest to you:
In response to his gift, you need to give a return gift.
Quest Completion Reward: 50 gray coins, Kaili Ni's Favor +10."
This time, the Favor was only 10, a significant decrease.
A hint of understanding flashed in Lin Luo's eyes. It seemed that the higher the Favor, the harder it was to increase.
Placing the slimy eye in his hand on top of the white sludge, Lin Luo said with a smile.
"Very good, this is my return gift to you, a beautiful eye. I believe you'll like it, won't you?"
"Yes... absolutely!"
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest! You received 50 gray coins, Kaili Ni's Favor +10."
Kaili Ni was delighted to have his eye back.
But then he felt something was off. He hadn't received a new eye, so why was he happy?
It seemed he only used to be happy when he got new eyes...
This was too weird!
Lin Luo looked at the Friend Compendium on the system panel; Kaili Ni's Favor had already reached 70.
He thought for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, the bus stopped again at a bus stop.
Kaili Ni sprang up with a powerful launch, nimbly rolling out of the bus door and stopping at the bus stop.
It seemed he wanted to wait for the next bus.
Lin Luo's eyes widened slightly. He looked at the white sludge outside the window, then at the Favor in his Friend Compendium.
That's right, it was 70, not -70!
Despite such high Favor, he was so eager to leave my side?
It truly lived up to its name as a Weird World; it really couldn't be judged by common sense...
Another Abnormality, completely shrouded in a black robe, boarded the bus. He looked around and sat next to Lin Luo.
After that, it was peaceful.
Ten minutes later, Lin Luo got off the bus, walked about a hundred meters, and turned left into a somewhat dilapidated street.
Finally, he stopped in front of a three-story small building with climbing vines on the wall and moss adorning it.
This wasn't his house; he rented the ground floor for 200 gray coins a month.
This price was just enough to buy the life of a Harmless Grade Abnormality.
