Chapter 184 - 138: Inventor: Niuniu, Invention...

[DEATH]

Ascending to the heavens alongside him were Niuniu and Xiaoma.

The entire underground space was now on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, the environment was rapidly repairing itself.

"Holy crap, Brother Niu, you’re a suicide bomber! That was way too powerful." Xiaoma was stunned. He hadn’t expected the Fecal Corpse Adhesive Talent to achieve such destructive power when charged up and combined with two synergistic Talents.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Niuniu laughed maniacally, his face filled with the excitement of a mad scientist. "See? I told you! This thing only looks ugly; its power is off the charts!"

Keep in mind, Xiaoma’s current Level wasn’t very high, and his Tier was only Embers. Even so, with some preparation, he was able to unleash such powerful damage that he took out both of Seaside Town’s final bosses, trading his life for theirs.

Needless to say, the power was immense.

"So, Xiaoma, still wanna respec?" Niuniu chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder.

"No way!" Xiaoma shook his head decisively, exclaiming with excitement, "Who cares if it’s ugly? With this build, I’m definitely not stuck in the grind!"

"Heheh." Hearing this, Niuniu chuckled again, a crafty merchant’s expression appearing on his face. "Seeing as you’re so on board, how about Brother Niu here gives you another chance to earn some Wax Oil..."

...

A short while later.

In the Prison Players’ group chat.

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "I’m fucking back! (EmperorArrives.jpg)"

Mushroom: "?"

Mushroom: "You son of a bitch, you’ve got the nerve to come back? Give me back my Magic Potion!"

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "Insolent! I’m warning you, lil’ Mushroom, show some respect for your Emperor! (HuskyPointing.jpg)"

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "I am the great man who is about to change this entire game!"

Mushroom: "..."

Mushroom: "Did you drink my Madness Potion?"

Mushroom: "It’s over. I knew this game could affect reality! (Horrified.jpg)"

Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "Niuniu, you punk, what crazy shit are you on about now?"

Poems and the Faraway Place: "Any new discoveries?"

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "Heheh, if you want to know what happens next..."

Storyteller: "?"

Crafty Frog: "Are you sure you want to play this game? (Smile.jpg)"

"My bad, my bad."

Seeing Wa Zai surface, Niuniu decisively backed down and immediately began to explain his two discoveries in detail.

The first was the "Resentment Ghost Giant Monster," which was very important for newbies—specifically, the Special Item [Giant Monster’s Index Finger of Resentment].

As long as a newbie could obtain this Special Item early on, their progression would be smooth sailing. Its power was at least enough to help them grow smoothly to the Fire Ignition Stage and unlock the various important functions of the Spirit Candle.

The second was the heavyweight discovery... the [Fecal Corpse Adhesive].

Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "Holy shit, this is actually useful. The previous newbie guide can be updated now."

Mushroom: "Newbies these days have it so good. I remember back when we were paving the way, we had to get up at one or two in the morning to manually grind monsters for Wax Oil and find a Fishman Coach to learn Dodge..."

My Son Failed, But I’m On Shore: "An excerpt from the older generation’s classic, ’Back in my day, we didn’t have it this easy.’"

Storyteller: "Can’t hold it in."

Poems and the Faraway Place: "It is indeed a good shortcut. This can be added after obtaining the Spirit Fire Raft."

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "OK, I’ll leave the guide update to you guys. I’ll post the travel route right now."

After they finished discussing the guide.

Next up was the heavyweight: the [Fecal Corpse Adhesive] Fire Seed.

Speaking of which, Niuniu was practically beaming, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

"Brothers, this is destined to be a groundbreaking build in Spirit Candle, a discovery that will change the course of the entire game!"

"The core gameplay of this build is Skill synergy and the explosive stacking of various Effects. And since I’m the inventor, I hereby name it—"

Inventor: I do Bull’s Push-ups. Invention—

"Explosive Bull!"

As Niuniu sent his final message.

"..."

The entire chat group suddenly fell dead silent.

The silence was a testament to their speechless shock...

Li Miao, sitting in front of his screen, looked again in disbelief before finally typing.

Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: "...Explosive what?"

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "Explosive Bull."

My Son Failed, But I’m On Shore: "What Bull?"

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "Explosive Bull!"

Crafty Frog: "What?! What kind of god-awful name is that? Why would you call it Explosive Bull?"

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "You just don’t get it. ’Bull’ is an honorific! It implies greatness! This build will definitely be remembered, so the name has to be majestic, got it? (Proud.jpg)"

’You might as well call it the Niuniu Burst...’

Storyteller, in front of his screen, typed a line of text and deleted it. He typed it again, deleted it again, and finally, the usually talkative player chose to remain silent.

’After all, no matter how he changed it, that weird connotation wouldn’t disappear unless he got rid of the ’Bull’ part of the name entirely.’

’But looking at that smug bastard, that’s probably not going to happen.’

’Forget it. I’m tired. Let the world burn.’

Because the name Niuniu had chosen was so mind-blowing, everyone else momentarily forgot about the unique qualities of the Fecal Corpse Adhesive Fire Seed itself.

Storyteller: "...You write this guide yourself. My own talents are too shallow for such a task."

I do Bull’s Push-ups: "Heheh, well, you don’t get a writing credit then."

Mushroom: "I knew this game could affect reality..."

Battle Bliss: "Hm? What’s going on?"

...

For the "cloud players" who frequently hung out on the Spirit Candle Forum, there was more and more to look forward to lately.

The reason was simple: more and more game slots for Spirit Candle were being released. As long as players frequently followed the forum and pre-registered, most of them were gradually able to get in.
