Chapter 277 - Betty’s Shell and Evil Wall (2/2)
[Effect: Consumes your anger to summon a storm at sea. Lasts for 15 minutes. Storm’s level depends on the user’s anger level.]
This was an item acquired from the Black Sail quest. When he returned to the real world, he had attempted to contact Betty, the Celtic G.o.d, but to no avail. He had a bad feeling about it all, and due to Betty’s weakened state, they communicated only shortly each time. From there, he discovered that Betty, just like all the other characters in the game, didn’t know she was in a game. He received further confirmation when she actually chose him to help her recruit more wors.h.i.+ppers.
Zhang Heng’s experience in Black Sail told him that all the quests he entered so far were a copy of real-world history. Considering Betty’s state when they met, there was a high chance that she was now dead or had disappeared since a few hundred years had pa.s.sed. This sh.e.l.l was the only thing she left behind, and the game’s committee placed it in the Black Sail quest. Now, for the other game item, Zhang Heng had freshly gotten it from Zavilcha. Having a ‘unique’ look, Zhang Heng wasn’t sure about carrying it with him all the time.
[Name: Evil Wall]
(Grade: D]
[Effect: Reconstructing a wall’s structure. Form can be swapped from solid to liquid. Remaining uses: 4]
The first thing Zhang Heng did was test its effect, and to his surprise, it worked better than he initially expected. Having experienced Moresby, Zhang Heng knew that game items extracted from monsters would be weakened, and the Evil Wall was no exception. Although impossible to be used in the same way as Zavilcha, it was surely a handy tool to get through forbidden zones or escape a labyrinth. Of course, as in the manner of all things, it came with its own weakness.
It could only be used when there were walls around and would work perfectly in a city but was useless in vast open s.p.a.ces with no concrete walls in sight.
All in all, Zhang Heng was satisfied with the two game items he acquired.
