Chapter 390 World's Grave Forest · Wind Rising
Rita: !!! Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
[Rita]: What about Rick?
She was extremely worried. She really feared that Eclipse Vanguard would spare Rick just to avoid offending her.
[Eleanor]: They'll probably come for you to resurrect him. If you don't want to revive him, just keep yourself busy with something else.
Rita: "..." This old lady is sharp as a tack.
[Eleanor]: But maybe they won't bother you. Someone in Eclipse Vanguard has resurrection skills too. When the time comes, they'll just show it off, and Black Jade will get the hint. I think they're just going through the motions to scare Black Jade.
Ever since she learned this, Rita couldn't stop thinking about it. She didn't care about Black Jade or Rick's fate. What really worried her was the [Moment of Reversal] she had rented!
What if Black Jade dies and the skill disappears with its owner?
This was a very real possibility, considering that the contract for the [One-Time Transaction] didn't specify that the rented items could be kept after the owner died.
Of course, if she looked on the bright side, it might just mean she wouldn't have to return it.
But the skill was too important to her, so she had to plan for the worst-case scenario. She opened the game panel and looked at one of her skills.
[Who is Hannibal?]: Transform any target into thirty-eight different delicious dishes, each scoring over 90 points. If you finish eating all thirty-eight dishes yourself, you will randomly acquire one skill the target had in their life (each target can only trigger this once).
Though the skill acquisition was random, she could always use her God-thief milk dragon to exploit a bug. By carefully timing the final bites, she could repeatedly try to randomly acquire [Moment of Reversal].
It would be much harder to directly steal it from Eclipse Vanguard. Black Jade's size made it tricky, and stealing would require using [The Great World and Tiny Me], which would be too obvious.
Working with Eclipse Vanguard? Trading Black Jade's corpse was also a viable option. She could claim it was for Nivalis's evolution. But Eclipse Vanguard probably wouldn't accept gold or equipment, since they weren't that short-sighted. What they wanted were promises—like Nivalis agreeing to protect the US, for instance.
Before Rita could finalize her plan, Eleanor messaged her while they were eating dinner on the 8th—Rick hadn't shown up because he was at The Lopez Family making food for Black Jade. Eleanor then informed Rita that Black Jade had surrendered.
That cunning dragon saw that not only did Eclipse Vanguard bring a resurrection skill, but they also had an experienced chef. Without saying a word, he voluntarily signed a peace agreement with them.
What a smart move?!@@@@
She used a Turtle Jade Stone to steal a secret.
— "I'm going to tell Qiu Qiu, I'll be royalty soon!"
Both Rita and Nivalis perked up. They immediately cornered a poor level-5 Tauren in a narrow alley. With both intimidation and stealth, they forced him to reveal what he knew.
Eventually, they bought the World Graveyard from him for 100 gold.
Rita's honor points increased by 10,000.
After tossing 100 gold into the Tauren's arms, they returned to Blue Star. Rita then took out the [3-Character] and [5-Character] she had in her possession.
The three pieces of Mahjong quickly came together.
[World's Grave Forest·Undead·Three-Four-Five]: World's Grave Forest·Key★ (A necessary credential for entering the World Battlefield)
[Skill] Little Skeleton Soldier: Unlock a divine talent skill for you (and your pet) upon entering the World Battlefield.
Rita took out the [World's Grave Forest·Oak Owl·Six-Seven-Eight] next and attempted to combine the six pieces of World Graveyard. With a snap, they locked together!
[World's Grave Forest·Wind Rising]: World's Grave Forest·Key★★ (A necessary credential for entering the World Battlefield)
[Skill 1] Legendary Prologue: Unlock two divine talent skills for you (and your pet) upon entering the World Battlefield.
[Skill 2] Horn of War: Unlock three skills for you (and your pet) upon entering the World Battlefield.
The effects had drastically improved!
Now, with the [Red Dragon], [7-Character], and [East Wind] in her hands, Rita and Nivalis could start the Divine Game a full minute earlier the next time they entered the battlefield. They could also carry one additional item and unlock an extra skill each.
After studying the setup, Nivalis sighed, "I wonder what skills the Full House will have."
Rita stiffened. She suddenly realized why Apache had said Mistblade was furious and looking for her.
Could it be that Mistblade knew she was the one who stole her second World Graveyard piece and had broken her set?
Hmm... They had already reconciled last time. Surely, Mistblade, the great Moon Emperor of Mistblade, couldn't go back on her word now!
