Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Plunder and Copy

Berikut adalah perbaikan susunan spasi dan pemformatan sistem untuk bab tersebut agar lebih rapi dan mudah dibaca:

Although he wanted to equip it immediately, he remained relatively calm. He'd first examine the other two abilities and the other eye effects. He'd compare them all before choosing.

'Evil King's True Eye Copy Effect:' By looking into the other person's eyes for 5 seconds, he could copy their ability. Successful copying grants permanent use; cooldown time is 168 hours.

'Plunder Effect:' Allows absorption of other eye-type abilities, making them his own; cooldown time is 168 hours.

Did he even need to choose? Just look at the incredible Plunder ability—did he even need to choose?

Equipping the Evil King's True Eye was equivalent to possessing the other eye-type abilities. What did a cooldown time matter? It was only 7 days; he could wait. Using the Evil King's True Eye meant he could absorb the other eye abilities in his inventory; why hesitate? He should just use it!

He shouldn't have questioned the extra rewards; it was a complete miscalculation.

A tear of blood slid down Shen Xiao's left eye. As he opened his eye again, the iris of his left eye turned gold. In an instant, the gold turned brown.

Ding!

[Successful absorption of the Eye of Penetrating All Things!]

Ding!

[The Evil King's True Eye's plundering ability has entered its cooldown period, with 167 hours and 59 minutes remaining.]

Another tear of blood slid down Shen Xiao's left eye. After the pain subsided, he felt countless pieces of information flooding his mind. Ignoring the pain, he opened his eyes and used the penetrating ability. His left iris turned gold.

At this moment, things before his eyes became crystal clear, and he even gained night vision, remaining effective even in the dark. He could ignore mirrors and see the shelves behind them if he wanted. Continuing, he could see through car bodies and snow-covered ground; continuing, he could see through snow and soil.

This Eye of Penetrating All Things was incredibly powerful. Having it was like having an X-ray vision cheat code. So, when ambushing others and having them hide behind cover? Don't even think about it. If I wanted to, I could see your movements without regard for obstacles.

The enemy's every move is within his grasp. If there's a drawback, it's that the iris changes color when ini ini eyes are used. Is that a drawback? A black cloth can solve that. He has X-ray vision anyway, so the cloth is negligible. It doesn't affect his own vision and prevents the enemy from noticing the change in his eyes.

Let him familiarize himself with it a bit more. Using the ability again, this time he saw Lu Zihao and Su Qiao whispering sweet nothings in the living room through the wall. His gaze shifted slightly, landing on Lu Qingyue's back as she cooked outside the door. He instantly ignored her coat, noticing only the gray wool sweater underneath and the dagger at her waist.

Hmm, ini ini eyes are good. With them, he can… excellent at detecting if an enemy has a weapon. Just for ambush combat, ini ini eyes are quite impressive. So, if he went to a casino now, wouldn't he be able to make hundreds of millions in no time? After all, ini ini eyes can see through the cards and the dice rolls.

Forget about that little bit of money. Clinging to the Empress's coattails, even a few hundred million isn't considered money. I wouldn't even bother picking it up if it were thrown on the ground. Let me familiarize myself with my eye abilities a bit more, and then watch... the Empress cook.

Ten minutes later, Shen Xiao emerged from the bathroom, still feeling unsatisfied. After his practice, he had gained a deep understanding of the Eye of All Things. Next, it was time to use his next ability: copying. Such a great skill is such a waste not to use it.

First, copy an ability. Whose? Needless to say, Su Qiao's. This person's magnetic ability is clearly incredibly powerful; a well-executed skill could destroy the entire Head-Touching Village. Yet, she uses it to throw away trash every day.

After finishing her snacks, she uses her ability to precisely toss the trash bag and sunflower seed shells into the trash can. When the trash can is full, she uses her ability to compress the trash into a ball, allowing the trash can to hold even more. What a waste of such a great ability!

"It's alright, if you don't know how to use it, I'll use it for you."

Approaching Su Qiao, Shen Xiao thought for a moment and asked: "My eyes feel a little uncomfortable, Su Qiao, can you check if something got in them?"

Ding!

[Host has acquired magnetic ability, proficiency 1%!]

Ding!

[Copy ability successful, Evil King's True Eye copy ability has entered cooldown period, remaining cooldown time 167 hours and 59 minutes.]

"Hey, Shen Xiao, your left eye looks strange."

"Where?"

"Strange, I'm seeing things."

As he spoke, Shen Xiao successfully used his copying ability, quickly returning to his original form. Lu Qingyue, hearing ini ini, rushed over to check: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, probably just some foam in my eyes."

Lu Qingyue, still worried, carefully examined Shen Xiao's eyes. Only after Shen Xiao said he was fine did she go back to cook again. Having successfully copied his ability, Shen Xiao naturally didn't rest, enduring countless hardships and obstacles. After countless days and nights of arduous training, finally…

Ding!

[Initial proficiency experience pack successfully used, magnetic ability proficiency 100%!]

I have finally mastered the magnetic ability…

Lu Qingyue's meticulously prepared meal was served.

"It's been so long since I've had barbecue! Qingyue is so good at everything, I love it!" After tasting a piece of barbecue, Su Qiao was overjoyed, snuggling against Lu Qingyue like a kitten trying to please its owner.

"No, I just learned how to make it myself, ini ini is my first time barbecuing." Lu Qingyue placed the freshly grilled meat on Shen Xiao's plate. "Shen Xiao, try it. If there's anything you don't like, I'll improve next time."

"Not bad, very good."

Ding!

[Gained favorability with Lu Qingyue, lottery ticket +100!]

This time, the cooking suited Shen Xiao's taste, making her very happy. Most importantly, Shen Xiao wasn't angry about yesterday's events, which made her happiest. That meant she could continue cooking for Shen Xiao in the future.

"Just tell me whenever you want to eat, I'm always available."

Su Qiao started to whine, "Shen Xiao, you have time to make what you want to eat, but you don't have time when I want to eat? You don't love me anymore, Qingyue, your feelings for me have changed!"

"No, just tell me what you want to eat."

"Then I'll have fruit salad for breakfast tomorrow."

"Fruit salad..." Hearing Shen Xiao mutter, Lu Qingyue added, "Shen Xiao, if you don't like it, I'll make you something else."

"It's okay, ini ini is fine." Shen Xiao replied and continued eating, while simultaneously checking the items in his system inventory. After flipping through countless pages, he finally saw what he wanted.

*Marrow Cleansing Fruit Fragment 25.

Can be combined into two fruits. I was so focused on practicing my eye technique that I forgot about ini ini. Consuming one talent pill will grant limb regeneration. After synthesis, giving Lu Qingyue one will restore her severed hand and also trigger a talent transformation.

Wouldn't that mean the Empress would have one less worry? And he could get even more lottery tickets? Talent transformation is great! It might even give more tickets at once. Giving 100 tickets at a time isn't a small amount.

But accumulating 100,000 tickets would take a long time. He also wanted to know what the extra reward was for a 100,000-draw streak. To achieve ini ini, he still needed the Empress's help.
