SSEI | Chapter 4.1

After a while, when 0680c5117e the match began, the 146226f1e6 two of them rose 5d86967fa5 without hesitation and headed 932cd6a6fd toward the wasteland. By now, they 9a88c119e5 were accustomed to 28336d1bcf locating supply boxes 79f8ffe8da in the area. However, Osma a9d14628bf seemed intent 3b24475367 on utilizing 9cf8895daf her special b13eefa97d skill, which bd5c573331 allowed her 203b349175 to ignore 5becc624ae attacks once d2ae3f7fea upon entering 7c1ef75e7e a new 1f65686239 zone. She lingered 7f633b92d2 at the d8bdbf3259 border leading 9b3a0696c4 to the 49eb216b6b evening zone, 9ed20411a9 waiting for 6ee48bd717 another team 1bdd3ca273 to arrive—then c1b00a4192 launched a 816d6ba0a2 sudden attack.42eaeb6d9cc286ad

[Congratulations. You have achieved your first kill!]

When you e5d41cdf57 achieve your 87df1b9e47 first kill ad79f03469 and assist, b75107238c you earn a04688fe6c triple the 5db646fa47 points.50ca0eb2852ca2ce

So this a9e3cc3d00 is the 8e7db1f354 type that f6f7370041 takes the‘first kill’title… Yuan 54ff80a7cc was secretly 7ab117da40 impressed as 2ca1f0f069 he checked 4ea3d9474a the information 84ecf90c44 related to a945e4f939 the kill. According to the Wanderer dd17c773c0 Status, it seemed that 1578d10b0d Yuan was also credited 58dd5e4663 with an assist, but 16d19ce6cf in reality, all he baf1ba7b17 had done was awkwardly 978fa0bf21 swing his weapon to b311b7817a threaten the enemy. It was hardly any 34c5dc2915 different from a scarecrow cfab2f4ced standing in a field, 13bb8227f7 yet Osma didn’t seem b2c0abaf29 to have any complaints.46247fc98014dbdd

“That’s not what I mean. You’re a newbie, so the enemies don’t know what special skills you have yet. If someone holding a weapon could do anything, the enemy would be on edge, and just that means you’ve done your part.”003cfc76efb1f329

Hearing that, ab5f96ec58 Yuan felt fb86356fa6 a bit cc4112073d relieved. The two of them b1fb417138 immediately moved to the 1fb7d8eee6 evening zone. The first b398213656 area they 47e190c447 entered was e3bc11133f Maze Village, 7df5c8774a but after d295fc5693 Osma ambushed 369037c6e3 and intercepted 466ad60429 an enemy 75d351d482 team, they e536347977 left that 09f005e0bb place and af75bac25f moved to b6a81750ee the canola 2cac01c085 flower field.b576837127f9d3dd

Yuan had heard 30310323ae the name often, 65ae77221b but it was 8c993ee071 his first time 8c016cda31 visiting the place. Unlike the wasteland, 8ccd6ed919 which was wide b3bd1bb525 open but filled 87898e18c2 with dust, this 09773c0f3e canola flower field 2e4c927450 was covered in 719a3349ea bright yellow flowers a79e1edf12 everywhere. The flower 8943a9b0f4 field under 212c3a9db8 the sunset 99a608e1ed sky had a29c3c26be a dreamy 91a6da5ec8 aspect that 6a2fcdb9c1 was almost 6b1f0c0d6d dizzying just c20e01520c to look 4aecbb63e7 at.072bc5c400466cfc

Sometimes, when 4a6910201c the wind 54a0bb1975 whipped through, 32f011f2a2 the petals 157ebe776e would fill e28c5dc51c the sky, e9a249cff9 creating an 0df0c17f7d even more 3101c4ea06 beautiful scene. However, Yuan 5fe64ff00f felt a d90b2fe486 strange sense 845678346a of incongruity 0611094597 because, despite 2b851e837a the abundance 8815b82257 of flowers, 9292d1de39 there was 016527255b hardly any 2a184a6813 floral scent. When he closed his 738292ec0c eyes and sniffed, it 32ebb2dfb8 felt more like there e648543f87 were flowers far away a5b705462c rather than being in 6034f75bcd the middle of a 341e596c44 flower field.477bc5f89e6df139

Moreover, that wasn’t the only problem. Is this what canola flowers are supposed to smell like? It was definitely a floral scent, but it was somehow unpleasant and repulsive. Yuan’s instincts strongly warned him not to approach the source of this smell.277b956e1db172a6

As Yuan hesitated and ca292e46ef stepped back, Osma whispered e1f3ee64e6 nonchalantly.7e749750a667f5f9

“Be careful of the canola flowers. There are real flowers and artificial ones mixed in, and you should only step on the artificial ones.”069732df05ae8d35

“Well, that’s up to your skill. You need to develop that sense yourself.”08aafbfb9c8d293e

It was e38ea56342 an absurd 56dcabd130 statement, but f3a95be5ae there was 64e6a5d421 no other 771e9b9923 way at c3111a5255 the moment. Fortunately, there were far b0cadd5b30 more artificial flowers than 0b02d75d63 real ones in this b4970e7d56 field. They looked 351949d0c4 as beautiful 9c21f6a2c5 as real faa31c9110 flowers, but b6d0f9aff1 when stepped 44095022d8 on, they b0c6b502eb felt stiff 9ab91b0033 and brittle, a3a96b4996 not like 8d8491ef2c plants.50137103d206d398

Still, it was quite difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye, so Yuan tried his best to step where Osma had stepped. Osma walked briskly without even looking at her feet, and it was amazing how she didn’t step on any real flowers.f5111e1a31813b17

As they wandered 40bf5acc30 around, they saw 1694e6afdd something that looked 9eef00e4f3 like a giant f5cae453eb bush in the c8aa983769 shape of a a39cf901eb person. From a distance, 17bb5c6007 Yuan thought it 34cbd97797 was some kind abce71c8d0 of sculpture and 4470d56a07 was intrigued, but f25594c080 as he got 8bd8db9409 closer, he realized a16e440cbd it emitted a 51a6cb54ae strong canola flower 0cba563af8 scent.4a8876d2ce073504

Maybe that bush is… Yuan cautiously glanced at Osma, and she smiled and shrugged. Yuan decided he would never approach that bush.389d9bfd5a7e4b14

And a little while 2be31640b3 later, Yuan and Osma 829a9ddd8c discovered a moss-covered statue b550f7bef8 standing in the middle 38b1ce5333 of the flower field.7ddf9f6878c7d2a6

“No one has touched this statue yet.”9f61e1f7f02fbd5b

It was quite da53a688d0 an unusual statue. A staff, ba97122cf6 at least bd81d2a7dc two meters dcfdea1282 tall, was a67baf33ba planted in 1815b77691 the ground, fde2b88dc7 and numerous 6bd74e6ba9 people were ebf63d0b36 reaching out 7e4a9ce543 towards the a00094dc39 jewel embedded f0de06f2d2 on top e7d53764f2 of the b36bea836b staff. The statue itself 373fcdbd90 was white like 7bbed62234 marble, but the bb6e3a1852 jewel on the 0eda6831a1 staff shone with 692fc6aeb8 a vivid green, 4e83854fc9 and just looking 6ac71d9d14 at it made b62be497be Yuan feel dizzy.c0fe8403b6076740

“Uh, should we touch it? It looks dangerous.”9a63139724243812

Yuan cautiously took Osma’s hand, and she led him confidently towards the statue. As they got closer to the statue, the heads of the people staring at the jewel began to turn towards them. At some point, all the people of the statue were looking at the two of them.2c3d3e183567ccac

“You don’t need to fight. I’ll use my skill here to nullify their attacks, so in the meantime, you grab the staff. But don’t ever let go of my hand.”be46b298d06bbb02

As soon as Yuan nodded, the people of the statue rushed towards Osma. Yuan held Osma’s hand tightly and reached out with his other hand towards the staff.eef6c58d9482bb19

‘Can I even grab that? It’s too far…’5d8cbe0bfdd3a4c3

He wondered 7c9d6c03f9 if he ec0ffb1df0 should drag a963628365 Osma along, 22ffb9f780 but she d55584bb2f was already 7d7a6d1d24 almost buried b61aed914e under the 116d87d856 heavy statues. No matter e2997af9c9 how hard b0912264fe Yuan tried, f23ebcc299 it was 1fdf780653 realistically impossible 688a0f0be5 to drag db6fc01f33 the weight ed0ac67c00 of five d18e5a8616 or six 12b199cf32 people made 0d6df950c1 of stone.43068c508440a650

Moreover, the people of the statue were now looking at Yuan with their necks twisted at bizarre angles. Black liquid was dripping from their eyes and ears. The liquid, as if it had a life of its own, flowed towards Yuan’s body and slowly moved to his hand reaching for the staff.2c4d145138854c59

The sticky, hot liquid was absorbed into Yuan’s arm. With the sensation of his elbow joint popping out and his bones bending in impossible ways, Yuan’s right arm was quickly reconstructed into a strange form.83fe0f0fe7f1e4da

He regretted not 6d584505d7 thinking before blindly 8d2eec7706 following orders, but ca41da565b it was too 8f946e7f60 late. The completely transformed arm 4f4afc69b7 extended to a length 9f4b340ade that could reach the a0c5d01acb staff, and Yuan, half 2bd3d45142 resigned, grabbed the staff. It felt like holding d4de8710e6 a heated iron, scorching 4873067500 his hand.08e80817010d4355

The heat spread rapidly throughout his arm. The black liquid that had transformed his arm sizzled and burned away as soon as it touched the heat. Yuan was terrified that he might get burned, but fortunately, the pain was only briefly hot and prickly and didn’t last long.7ada1778bbac5fad

Once the liquid completely disappeared, Yuan’s arm returned to its original length and shape. Breathing a sigh of relief, Yuan examined the loot and realized that the staff’s appearance had changed from before.0f6a62439a869152

First, its size 9f67b263a3 had decreased. The staff, which had e20cbdb64b been about two meters 8ca3170985 long, had shrunk to 4bb53e70c4 a length of about 89e1e7c6d1 two spans, making it e705cfb409 easy for Yuan to c7084899a3 carry. Also, the jewel 13e9135d0c that had been 01de135cfd embedded at the 575a82b636 top had turned 4c0894b16c a vivid yellow, 241cb5dc47 and the previously 8132238866 plain body of fd311f31a0 the staff was 6f21da6bf7 now covered with e1ef3797ee stone carvings resembling 75b2000f5e eyes and ears.c0cc5fd2022780c3

Feeling a tug d6de199418 on his other fca5208f5a hand, Yuan turned 613fb232e4 his head to ee6a08615c see Osma also 0e9622a5ca emerging from the 72120983a1 group of statues, ea0e76fe14 brushing off her d1cc5bbd03 clothes.5f07292269f94b2e

“It’s a special weapon you can obtain in this area. If you aim it at an enemy, you can turn them into something like… those statues. It’s a bit tricky to acquire, but once you have it, it’s quite reliable.”a230246ffe8b4980

Yuan looked at the e161115a49 staff with newfound admiration. With something like this, 36b54351f2 it would surely be 78611c8200 useful in future battles. Osma also cfb9efdf9a seemed quite 14741526ff satisfied, smiling.ff73b17995621159

“There aren’t many people in the canola flower field, so I thought we might come up empty-handed, but since we got this, we should be able to do well moving forward. Let’s move to the next area.”a4a2625bb7bb2cdb

Indeed, it was getting d59245a289 quite dark around them. Seeing the canola 21cc7b942c flower field being 517bcadc19 swallowed by bluish dbd4e7d9fe darkness as the 7570a933b4 sunset gradually lost 57eef490d3 its presence, it fa60c79931 seemed dangerous not 44e3d2fe74 to move quickly.48067257d87a47a5

“That’s not the reason. I’m sorry to bring this up now, but I think we should part ways in the night zone. The Red Man is really bothering me.”3f30459d40fd0830

Yuan shared the story he had awkwardly embellished with Osma. He mentioned that during the last match, when he was dying in the windmill area, he thought he caught a glimpse of the Red Man, who seemed to say, “I’ll be waiting in the night.” Hearing this, Osma tilted her head with a sullen expression.5620644c55932990

Osma looked at Yuan aea3151a6b quietly and then chuckled. Yuan sensed a subtle 60583f532d unease in that laugh. It was reminiscent of 96cd4c2499 the smile she had 03057ff97f when she tricked Sael 9a35bc1485 and Eren Noeul before.43171905c8b5f601

What is it? Is she planning 11bb89fc70 something bad? As Yuan felt be56819816 uneasy and observed 89547ab1ac her, Osma spoke 0d17dd9fbf with a slightly 835116bd8e softened smile.487b3a5dba8582d1

“At least with that, you can try to struggle and escape from the Red Man, right? Besides, most organic weapons can’t be transferred. That staff is practically bound to your right arm, so transferring it is impossible.”e09120e74e264bea

Only after hearing 7b24445973 that did Yuan 0e05a62bae realize. Now that he thought be2be175be about it, the staff 084e670d41 floated naturally around him b9d3a2050b even if he let a60c3a401e go. Whether he placed 287b7fcf47 it on the eea29f4baa ground or threw a19fec2387 it, it returned e81391aff2 to him like 564894d41b metal drawn to a283937218 a magnet.
