CHAPTER 1581: CHAPTER 1581: THE GIRL IN THE PAINTING’S WISH

"Lifelike Wax Figure" activates when there’s a potential for the holder to suffer severe injury, allowing it to bear one devastating blow on behalf of the holder. "Kitty Grants You Three Lives" can save oneself in cases of high mortality risk, usable three times within 24 hours. This prop forces players to avoid risks but cannot take damage on their behalf.

"Unhesitant Martyr" truly serves as a "death substitute." With a mortality risk exceeding 99%, escape becomes near impossible. If it occurs unexpectedly, the remaining 1% chance of escape becomes irrelevant, so this prop essentially grants the holder an extra life.

The Special Defense Department is quite generous.

The later Rank-B and special items aren’t bad either.

[Star Illuminating the Night Sky: A lamp can remain suspended and illuminated for up to half an hour, bright enough to illuminate an entire city. It doesn’t rely on sunlight or electricity, making it usable in water. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

[Scent Tracing Butterfly: Resembling a real butterfly with unobtrusive appearance and colors, like any butterfly found among flowers and grass. The distinction is its enemy-sensing ability, generating mini butterflies corresponding to detected living beings, revealing hidden locations. Limited to twenty.]

[Little Triangle: A precision cutting device capable of identifying three equidistant points on any structure, automatically cleaving this structure into a triangular prism when one end touches it. Slight drawback: can’t cut props or metals beyond its level.]

[Solitary Cell: A spatial confinement tool that can imprison others for up to 20 hours.]

[My BGM: When the BGM sounds, you’ll become the most dazzling presence on stage. Until the music ends, no one can escape your allure. You’re the mysterious beauty, the sought-after entity, the distant pursuit, the ultimate dream. Yet unfulfilled hope can be cruel, inducing overreactions in emotionally unstable individuals, so players need to manage usage sensibly.]

[The World’s Most Stable Triangle: From a boy’s dreams and illusions, forming a triangle with your hands grants a transparent triangular shield providing spatial defense anytime, anywhere.]

The earlier items can be skipped, but the last two, "My BGM" resembles the characteristic "Writing Strength." However, the former likely has a hypnotic effect aiding Psychic Power usage.

The highlight of "The World’s Most Stable Triangle" is its constant usability, as long as you can lift your hands. Despite its inferiority compared to "Unassailable Territory," "Ideal Skin," it offers more flexibility, making it a great prop overall.

"Brother, are these all for you?" Tongtong stood next to the two combat robots.

"They’re for me and Li Chun." Xu Huo looked at Girl in the painting, "Half for you, half for me, how about it?"

Girl in the painting blinked in surprise, glanced around, then picked a combat robot, "I want it for work, I don’t need the rest, exchange for money."

Xu Huo glanced at two boxes of White Notes nearby, "You sure have a lot of money now."

Girl in the painting lacks a clear concept of money, she just wants lots. Unlike players who store White Notes in their personal panel, she can’t carry them, so she waved her hand, "You keep it for me, let me think about spending."

Some of the props were chosen by the Special Defense Department according to her "paper usage" combat style, especially special items, but they didn’t foresee her inability to use them.

Tongtong excitedly opened a money box, eyes wide, "Sister Li Chun, can you give me some of your money? I have lots of toys to buy!"

Xu Huo had said half belongs to her; Girl in the painting generously handed two bundles of White Notes to him with a cheerful smile.

"Wow!" Tongtong’s voice wavered with excitement, "I’m going to buy every toy I want! Plus snacks!"

Girl in the painting clapped along, then turned to Xu Huo, "Can this money buy a house? I want lots and lots of houses!"

"It’s challenging to get many, but didn’t you hear? The Special Defense Department put Ting City in your name, so the entire city is yours to play in," Xu Huo replied.

Girl in the painting wasn’t enthused, "But I want to play with Xiao Yuan."

Xiao Yuan is an orphan Xu Huo brought back to Zone 011 from Zone 009, residing in Rose Castle.

To move between zones, Girl in the painting must follow a player.

"You can get others to enter and exit Zone 014 with you," Xu Huo suggested, "Or stay in Zone 014 like before, just ’leave’ for a few days monthly."

Girl in the painting’s smile faded, she hesitated before looking at him aggrievedly, "Are you upset I bring too much stuff, maybe I shouldn’t next time."

Xu Huo chuckled, "Don’t you want to play freely?"

"I already feel free," Girl in the painting saw no issue and slowly walked beside him, whispering in his ear, "Besides, I want the Medal of the Radiant Gentleman, you have one."

She couldn’t articulate its significance but instinctively liked it.

To Xu Huo, the medal’s sole significance was bargaining with the Game Government for Grey Player status, but it wasn’t enough yet.

Yet, having Girl in the painting genuinely like it, the medal’s material was likely more critical.

After thinking, Li Chun added, "I didn’t help much this time, but I can trade you these items instead."

Xu Huo’s eyebrows slightly raised, "Not buying houses?"

Girl in the painting faced a tough decision and reluctantly chose after much hesitation, "Money will come again, houses are plenty; let’s buy later."

Medals can be traded for Grey Player status, tempting anyone. Yet gathering them wasn’t easy, nor entirely unavailable for purchase.

"There are sales Beneath the Dimension, maybe buy a few for you if they’re inexpensive," Xu Huo began tidying up scattered items.

Girl in the painting followed him, rapidly tapping on the communicator, "I want only yours, not others."

Xu Huo was surprised, "The one given to you last time wasn’t mine."

During the Black Rain incident, the "Bright Gentleman" he gave her was Yan Jiayu’s.

Looking confused, Girl in the painting repeated emphatically, "I want only yours."

Xu Huo adopted a serious demeanor, promptly purchasing a "Bright Gentleman" medal at a high price Beneath the Dimension to hand her.
