Chapter 388: People Cannot Be Generalized (2/2)

“How did you come back to life?” He asked Marni.

“It’s the power of runes,” Marni answered proudly. “Someone who studied runes for some time had discovered that the Tiga rune is very special. It has a Lumenize function that keeps the user immune to physical damage for 1 second after using it!”

“Doesn’t that mean you’re Invincible?!” Gou Dan exclaimed in surprised.

“How could it be that simple? This gimmick needs anticipation and some charging. First, you would need an item equipped with the Tiga Rune, and then you would have to chant ‘Simmer the bones into broth’ in front of the God of Games’ statue five times. Moreover, it can only be used once after each charge… it’s so troublesome.”

“You actually have so much time to study that, Mister Marni…” Gou Dan murmured, at a loss for words.

Although there’s no telling what simmering bones had to do lumenizing, Gou Dan at least knew that he wouldn’t have the patience to do such a thing. It seemed that he would have to give that nice gimmick a miss.

“Hey now. I’m a businessman, earning hundred thousand coins with every passing second-why in the name of Valla would I make the time to do that?” Marni retorted cheekily. “I simply asked newbie Players who don’t have much money to help me. I pay them a thousand game coins for each item charged, and now with five items charged on my body, it means I’m safe from five lethal blows!”

Gou Dan throw Marni a look that say ‘So that’s the power of money, as expected of

you!’

But in the next split second, every Player received a System notification.

(Ding]

(Player System updated to V3.1]

[-Bug fix for Tiga runes. Players now have to charge the runes personally)

[-Change for class skill: Lumenize. No adjustments against damage or effects now, but it looks cooooooler now.]

(Happy playing!]

Marni gaped at the notification.

Due to the incredible shock, he did not even realize that a hill-folk had blindsided him, punching him into the dirt. If Gou Dan hadn’t helped, he might have been stripped naked and beaten to death once again.

Even as he dropped to the ground, he was still thinking: The God of Games has it out for me!

***

To tell the truth, Xi Wei wasn’t having it out against Marni.

Still, leaving that bug alone would make the Tiga Rune wildly popular. Though it was a good thing for the Players and it did increase the Players’ ability as a collective, it was a headache for Xi Wei because he didn’t have the Authority of Light.

That was why a power like lumenize was very costly to his divine power…

Therefore, to save divine power, as well as adjusting for the rune system which he had wastefully implemented and left a hidden glitch, Xi Wei had to issue the System patch.
