Free Web NovelChapter 58: Chapter 28: Choosing Superpower
In the projection, a tiny white figure stuck its tongue out at another blue figure. Two angry ╬ symbols then popped up above their heads.
[Empathy Negotiation Expert]: Make faces at the target, causing both parties to enter an enraged state.
"What kind of negotiation expert is this?" Ree Shil wondered, clueless about what to say to this.
Superpowers came with a range of strengths and weaknesses, alongside an array of side effects.
Whoever ended up with [Empathy Negotiation Expert] was definitely out of luck.
He drew another card and a new projection was displayed.
The white figure inside was running at an amazing speed, taking several laps around an empty venue.
However, as soon as it stopped, it started yelling in pain while clutching its ankle, limping as it walked away.
[Messenger of the Wind]: Achieve a period of quick speed, followed by an equal period of gout.
"Should be called Messenger of Gout, right?" Ree Shil joked. He heard that gout was extremely painful.
It seemed that superpowers are not only divided into strong or weak, but also divided between those that are normal and those abnormal.
[Bizarre Cane]: Gain a space that can permanently imprison the target, but bear the weight of the imprisoned party
"Even a Level 10 card player can probably only imprison two or three targets before they can’t move anymore," he pondered.
[Eye-locking Red Eye]: When eye contact is made with the target, both parties’ visions can be locked.
"Controlling the enemy and oneself at the same time, without teammates around, one can easily be taken advantage of."
[Power of Moonlight]: Greatly enhance physical strength under moonlight.
"This one seems not bad, but I don’t know if there’s moonlight in the Instance Dungeon."
[Heavenly Insight Magic Eye]: Obtain a free god-eye perspective, but lose the ability to move during the period.
"This superpower has a big flaw, but it’s very convenient for reconnaissance."
As each superpower was previewed, he felt dissatisfied.
If they weren’t weak, they had severe side effects.
After looking at more than 30, only two caught his eye.
[Reverse Hypoxic Physique]: Greatly enhance physical strength after holding your breath for over 10 seconds.
In the projected image, the white figure turned red-faced and could break stone slabs with a punch, it looked quite powerful.
He tried it on the spot. As a Level 2 card player, the enhancement of his physical fitness allowed him to hold his breath for almost three and a half minutes in a standstill state.
If in an intense state of movement, it could only be maintained for just over a minute.
[Area Observer]: Touch target and gain knowledge of its superpower information.
In the projected image, the white figure patted the shoulder of the blue figure, and a light bulb representing "Wise Insight" popped up on his head.
This superpower was also quite practical. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
In a superpower battle, intelligence is the most important factor.
If you know the side effects of the opponent, it’s easy to make a restraining plan.
But as mentioned before, Ree Shil didn’t know if the primary targets of the battle in this Instance Dungeon were the players or native creatures, or if there was no battle at all.
Furthermore, he felt that out of these 50 superpowers, other players might draw some of them.
As long as he previewed them all, he might gain a lot of information.
"Eh?"
When drawing one of the last few, Ree Shil was taken aback.
[Wealth Destiny Change]: Spend LV x 250 cube coins to draw an additional superpower (only once), spend LV x 250 cube coins to revive in the Instance.
"Haha, there’s actually such a superpower."
There’s no doubt that this superpower is pretty strong.
He’s currently Level 2, purchasing an additional superpower would cost him 500 cubic coins, and reviving once would also cost 500 cubic coins.
You must know that the average wealth of a normal Level 2 card player does not exceed 1000 cubic coins.
But Ree Shil’s current total fortune is 2000+, even after drawing an additional superpower, he still has 1500+ left.
That is to say, he can buy 3 opportunities for resurrection, greatly improving his margin for error.
It’s true that being a lower level has its advantages. On average, a Level 10 card player with around 5000 savings left after all expenses is considered pretty good.
That would only be enough to buy an additional superpower and revive 2 times.
"2000 cubic coins, the championship prize is 15,000, earning a profit of 13,000."
"Why not?"
Ree Shil didn’t hesitate and selected this card.
Buzz!
The [?] card turned into a light and integrated into his body.
[Congratulations! You’ve obtained the Superpower - Wealth Destiny Change]
[Wish to spend 500 cubic coins to draw an additional superpower?]
"If Slame, that little rich girl, draws this superpower, wouldn’t it make her invincible?" he wondered aloud, and selected "purchase".
So, the space turned pure white again, and the earlier words were repeated.
[Please select 1 card as the superpower for this Instance]
[After all players have chosen their superpowers]
[All 99 contestants will get an ID number and enter the Instance]
But this time, there were no new [?] cards. There were still the same 50 cards, unmoved.
Leaving out the already chosen [Wealth Destiny Change], there are 49 left.
Ree Shil had previewed the remaining 49 cards, so he made his choice quickly.
For his additional superpower, he chose [Reverse Hypoxic Physique].
[Superpower selection completed. Please enter your code name for this action]
"Code name..." This question made him fall deep into thought.
...
Inside the battle observation box, sofas were placed on the left and right.
Across from each other sat the Show Director and Secretary Brown.
But they couldn’t see each other, as they were both wearing goggle-style holographic glasses.
A remote control was held in their hands.
This allowed them to observe the Instance Game from a free god-eye perspective.
"Director, why hasn’t the game started yet..."
