SSEI | Chapter 4.1

After a while, when 9454ac2713 the match began, the 8eb00d4bf5 two of them rose a88c5e1892 without hesitation and headed 851e134e7b toward the wasteland. By now, they were 10bee25fce accustomed to locating supply c761047f5f boxes in the area. However, Osma 495780e6c4 seemed intent 8802400c70 on utilizing adfd6a4931 her special 23f76e44c6 skill, which d92e550959 allowed her 04760a1f5b to ignore 4195bc001a attacks once c965ebf462 upon entering 74d173a657 a new 68ee148859 zone. She lingered 663abe15f5 at the b659b82189 border leading 631e022f0f to the 77bf65c999 evening zone, 07c2ad8553 waiting for 18d94708ae another team fdfd0a05c5 to arrive—then 82920fe638 launched a e5ce26f4e8 sudden attack.d3c15693dae1b101

[Congratulations. You have achieved your first kill!]

When you achieve your 0fec64f52c first kill and assist, 954d3b62bc you earn triple the 04c5544faf points.1ccb424e9a7ccc97

So this is the d004b75ddc type that takes the‘first kill’title… Yuan was e66dfe099c secretly impressed as 9e98c30c1a he checked the 8865df0586 information related to 74c9d719a9 the kill. According to e962bd2f98 the Wanderer 876f9cc270 Status, it 9c535d8e6f seemed that 5c7bdbb8e2 Yuan was cb25d0f7bb also credited d0e455b91b with an 49e29c37c8 assist, but 35ff9817b6 in reality, e6c761f6d9 all he b9118dd97f had done 1bccbda507 was awkwardly 6f3e2d8a85 swing his 0c1416a481 weapon to 0ad40db0ca threaten the e1452083c3 enemy. It was hardly bae98bc11c any different from 76e187f435 a scarecrow standing 0c711100d8 in a field, dcca11daa6 yet Osma didn’t 5014c4ca34 seem to have c3bc2fafaa any complaints.8fc466e7c97af1e9

“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.”babb4f62156289a9

Hearing that, Yuan 87612f5faf felt a bit 4593052302 relieved. The two of them f66b59414c immediately moved to the a0dacb1c24 evening zone. The first area bcdd3c3881 they entered was 5e44722e4c Maze Village, but 4fed278682 after Osma ambushed 32a0c79f32 and intercepted an dd88e224a1 enemy team, they e12ca715a9 left that place 46ba823707 and moved to 963375799d the canola flower 8b757fb8e9 field.83ca55e65706ee11

Yuan had heard ac2250bb78 the name often, 6cd516b4c6 but it was f92ec960f3 his first time a4535beb68 visiting the place. Unlike the 86b0ab0fc2 wasteland, which 6702869a16 was wide 0df263e301 open but 96b4d8ed8e filled with c95f67aee9 dust, this 6eba6906c3 canola flower 75ffffeef7 field was d78acef4d2 covered in 267935d360 bright yellow a125d807a2 flowers everywhere. The flower c307b85b24 field under e37a8557f6 the sunset 50de73023b sky had 9af11b533b a dreamy 8c0e726dc3 aspect that 735fb74124 was almost 4f2f7211dd dizzying just fee7fcd642 to look 98070de152 at.8c70021d2d0234cd

Sometimes, when the wind df2ce181ca whipped through, the petals 8763cea8b2 would fill the sky, 240ef22566 creating an even more 72927453b2 beautiful scene. However, Yuan felt a 75bed162c5 strange sense of incongruity a48fed9d88 because, despite the abundance 32437145bc of flowers, there was 775575df9c hardly any floral scent. When he closed his 1c4027573f eyes and sniffed, it e0ac0dff63 felt more like there bc882b9b7e were flowers far away 04eb10669b rather than being in f7d3d7e93b the middle of a 745e02671f flower field.876c275367ed8f94

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.04c5b26d53fa8805

As Yuan hesitated and 0b99d48c52 stepped back, Osma whispered 7b05d2f516 nonchalantly.205ec660563fb50b

“Be careful of the canola flowers. There are real flowers and artificial ones mixed in, and you should only step on the artificial ones.”6d338df0a7e2423e

“Well, that’s up to your skill. You need to develop that sense yourself.”2a3a65ec36b5fea1

It was an 49bdc05d46 absurd statement, but 114c951402 there was no 16e6f26798 other way at a656de69e7 the moment. Fortunately, there 244e392619 were far 835073091d more artificial 2a1bb3c1e3 flowers than 1a0efe4702 real ones bd1ddc5740 in this aa7238847e field. They looked as 798bc2befa beautiful as real 25ef46811c flowers, but when 6021ce0ad2 stepped on, they 85c909d176 felt stiff and dee8b86dc0 brittle, not like 4e28b63f67 plants.92eaa7987962386f

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.0cf7413f3413654c

As they wandered 154c3a4271 around, they saw f2980679d4 something that looked 00f8ff1ff7 like a giant 61613a7d95 bush in the 32874c6f98 shape of a 3ad23364d3 person. From a distance, Yuan 4e07e8cd48 thought it was some d93deb34f6 kind of sculpture and ec29bb2f1b was intrigued, but as 8986cf1f2d he got closer, he e45fe2c089 realized it emitted a 7c7323f9ae strong canola flower scent.dbbc732b37a10a66

Maybe that bush is… Yuan cautiously glanced at Osma, and she smiled and shrugged. Yuan decided he would never approach that bush.99cf6c5666f08539

And a little while ff3ccf647a later, Yuan and Osma 0f2b9e893c discovered a moss-covered statue fd80350b9c standing in the middle 9983bf2514 of the flower field.2df7d11f58f77eb4

“No one has touched this statue yet.”938b458fc4b730aa

It was quite an 0637b73aef unusual statue. A staff, at fb6523900d least two meters b8d666305a tall, was planted f8c58d1601 in the ground, 9b48140168 and numerous people bedee534c7 were reaching out c5178a9884 towards the jewel 9f1fd255cd embedded on top 71f09774f1 of the staff. The statue 958cbe6d5f itself was e7d9cd099a white like 809ecf182b marble, but 78451e010b the jewel 08790bf9da on the 9e7cef3c63 staff shone 154bcc27aa with a dc1e92c038 vivid green, 98aab683aa and just 511fd38d7b looking at 167efbb5f0 it made fb49e0d56a Yuan feel aab766472d dizzy.eb797de682430357

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.dc8ef7533599b356

“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.”523cc6aff2c5adb8

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.06639bff04813901

‘Can I even grab that? It’s too far…’451f91f1efc991c1

He wondered if 1f5201a2ca he should drag fbd1aa262d Osma along, but cf961e4a3e she was already 9153a4a8cf almost buried under 61068f0524 the heavy statues. No matter how 12ea1c650f hard Yuan tried, f3356e1be8 it was realistically 8a2be73bdf impossible to drag 44b1d1e6aa the weight of cf0cc1bf85 five or six ff4746438c people made of 03aad6b9f5 stone.ee83104a52155bad

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.f953c7673b2b010e

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.9e783e4b0d5bb60e

He regretted not 9f00445047 thinking before blindly f2cb2d4f6c following orders, but 2e43a0d4e6 it was too e4ea02c30f late. The completely transformed arm 8660e16c55 extended to a length 578d92ddf7 that could reach the 2f4139d9e1 staff, and Yuan, half 199e22346e resigned, grabbed the staff. It felt like a5577ae5e7 holding a heated d8fe547d65 iron, scorching his 333731c924 hand.13ab92d6fad70434

“Ouch…!”f6583d2904e48bc3

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.3a2b7badefbc0b85

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.457442cc42c5c4e6

First, its size a5f3d0465e had decreased. The staff, which a6e81229aa had been about e7b609b360 two meters long, 74a8224d1f had shrunk to 9c669a6947 a length of 5a99d52339 about two spans, 23bd6d860c making it easy 46b0b611f6 for Yuan to d5a40019c4 carry. Also, the be42225dc6 jewel that 895b9ced76 had been 8dc40f984c embedded at 34e7f0cc22 the top e216314373 had turned 3a7591e2d4 a vivid 960b789782 yellow, and b2cc09300f the previously 8fdfdce604 plain body 751bc03af0 of the c01618268f staff was 00b77fa8f4 now covered 72e236e622 with stone e251c79e41 carvings resembling f008213673 eyes and 8010a29ef9 ears.ba2307bc193a356d

Feeling a tug on 9c2ce62ac4 his other hand, Yuan 1ed9d9b354 turned his head to e294d7adab see Osma also emerging 7dce8c21b1 from the group of 3b56f4f193 statues, brushing off her 30f2671d96 clothes.ad5d0425d3aec374

“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.”b654f62625ab8dc2

Yuan looked at the 5edfb51f20 staff with newfound admiration. With something f58c9d5c15 like this, 4c9f43883d it would b973f6443d surely be 0a1dbddc89 useful in d239f2c093 future battles. Osma also seemed quite d0f79834a1 satisfied, smiling.ac30b09e909b3401

“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.”2030c84b8aa12c44

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.8545522f07701ffd

Osma looked at 34db69e530 Yuan quietly and 9b1eaf115e then chuckled. Yuan sensed a subtle e6a822b19b unease in that laugh. It was reminiscent b1fdd20587 of the smile 9cdcbc7d54 she had when 2c48da2cee she tricked Sael 4152ff9d50 and Eren Noeul 161c9c0ea3 before.4f44b0434061c7dc

“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.”1da03de7835526ce

Only after ed26810670 hearing that 5282bd1234 did Yuan 718d40255f realize. Now that he thought e0af518a16 about it, the staff e4b353cce0 floated naturally around him 691ca88a60 even if he let e6c19619ff go. Whether he placed 6cd20d6d81 it on the e205de63bf ground or threw fc1e229cd6 it, it returned c838d0834f to him like c71e95af00 metal drawn to 946ff12796 a magnet.
