There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 14 The Villainous Female Supporting Character

Occupation: Passerby

Attributes: 45 (Main 45, Secondary 0)

[Constitution]: Physique (5), Vitality (5), Weapon Manipulation (5)

【Affinity】：Elements (5) Living Beings (5) Rules (5)

[Spirit]: Yin and Yang (5), Resonance (5), Inspiration (5)

talent:

[The Great Sin of Greed of Passersby]: You will definitely gain skills by absorbing the remains of spirits, but you can only gain skills by absorbing the remains of demons that you have personally killed.

[The Sin of Gluttony by Passersby]: You can absorb spiritual power, recover from injuries, and gain satiety by consuming spirit remains, but your digestive ability is too strong, making you more prone to hunger.

skill:

[Eating Dirt] Quality: Black Iron, Learning Requirements: Top 10 Fate

Effect: Eating soil can satisfy hunger and restore physical strength.

"Wow! You really absorbed it successfully! Even though your attributes didn't meet the learning requirements."

Shen Yaoxing squatted down next to him, hugging her knees, looking at him with curiosity, like she was seeing a new toy.

During the day, she's like a calm and reliable young lady, but at night she turns into a girl next door, and her mental state gets lower and lower as the night deepens.

It feels like the "inauspicious star" is a talent that's just as terrible as his "gluttony sin".

She grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and handed it to him: "Want to try eating some dirt?"

Lu Ren looked at the skill and found it very novel. Only by acquiring the skill could he officially step into the ranks of professionals, although his skill seemed... somewhat useless.

However, as a certain master once said, there are no useless skills, only useless professionals!

Moreover, the Mud Eater is just a small, weak monster, so there's no need to expect it to have any powerful skills.

The young lady commented: "Eating dirt is a pretty good skill. You won't starve to death outdoors without food, but generally not many people would learn it."

Why?

Shen Yaoxing explained: "The number of skills a professional can learn at each level is limited... It would be a waste for a professional to waste a skill slot learning a skill that can provide sustenance."

Moreover, for the vast majority of professionals, most of them are stuck at the Candle Illumination Realm for their entire lives. They don't have many skills to begin with, and if they have any ambition, they won't learn this kind of skill.

The strength of Lu Ren's talent "Arrogance" lies in its ability to learn skills without limit.

"The remains of the Mud Eater are not very popular in Zhijiang, but in some harsh and difficult areas, they are in high demand and can fetch a high price. Our family buys them and then transports them to the Northwest, where the price can be several times higher."

Spiritual remains have a limited lifespan and cannot be stored for long periods. Generally, if they are not absorbed within three to five days, the skill will disappear.

"I see, so it'll be more expensive if it's sold in other places...?"

"Yes, just like seafood is very cheap by the sea, but the price increases several times when it gets inland. Or lychees in the south are only 3 to 5 yuan per kilogram, but they cost 30 to 50 yuan per kilogram when they are transported to the north. And our cheap labor here, when it goes abroad..."

"Cough cough, this soil is so hard to eat."

"Is it really edible?"

"It's edible, but it's a bit hard to swallow and doesn't really taste like much."

He discovered that the soil had indeed become edible, and after eating it, he felt a flow of energy, but the taste was truly unbearable, and the effects were very poor.

"I have six left. The recent purchase price for Mud Eater spirit remains seems to be around 250 each. We're pretty lucky today!"

Lu Ren felt the same way, and he was quite excited after successfully getting the first kill.

Moreover, he felt that he hadn't handled things well and that he could have performed better, so on the way back he was eager to try again.

However, the young lady was still quite rational and not reckless at all. On her way back, she also detected several waves of Void Beasts.

A group of more than twenty mud-eating monsters was beyond their capabilities, so they decided to take a detour.

They also encountered a yellow mud monster, commonly known as Big Yellow, which resembled an old yellow ox but was carnivorous and nearly two meters tall at the shoulder.

Shen Yaoxing looked at him and asked in a clear voice, "Lu Ren, shall we fight it?"

It was getting late, and she was so mentally challenged that she simply gave up thinking and became a mere tool.

It's amazing that this kid trusts me so much. We've only known each other for two days, but Lu Ren is already so devoted to this kid that he'd sell him off and count the money for him.

Intuition is such a mysterious thing; in this young lady's intuition, she actually found herself to be so trustworthy.

"Didn't you say during the day that we couldn't break through this thing's defenses, and that we should take a detour?"

"Oh, let's go this way then, Lu Ren!"

There was another foggy area, and Miss Shen suddenly became wary.

The fog was swamp fog, containing spiritual energy, and she couldn't see what was inside at all.

That's a sign that a bronze-level Void Beast, a Swamp Mud Monster, has appeared.

The Yellow Mud Monster was already beyond their ability to handle, and Shen Yaoxing would still ask Lu Ren in a clear voice if he wanted to fight it, as if she had never been afraid. Unexpectedly, this Swamp Mud Monster almost scared her sober.

"How is this possible? Why would a swamp monster appear within the safe zone?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Lu Ren put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Is the swamp monster very powerful?"

"They're really tough. The Mud Eaters are basically cannon fodder here, the Yellow Mud Monsters and Sludge Monsters are like elite monsters, and the Swamp Mud Monster can be considered the boss. But Swamp Mud Monsters are hard to find even outside the safe zone, so how come they're here?"

Is it rare to see this here?

"The area within a hundred miles of Xuzhen is a safe zone, so the swamp monster shouldn't appear there."

She looked worried: "Let's get out of here quickly!"

Lu Ren nodded repeatedly, and the two of them circled around for a long time, trying to avoid the swamp fog area.

Lu Ren knew that the mist was the Swamp Mist Monster's skill [Swamp Mist], which had a hallucinogenic effect and could not be inhaled. Moreover, once inside, one would lose one's sense of direction, and no matter which way one went, one would end up in the center of the mist, which was where the Swamp Mist Monster was lying in ambush.

Furthermore, the Swamp Monster has a skill called [Swamp Gas Explosion], which is equivalent to a large-scale TNT explosion. Even professional teams from the Candle Illumination Realm are unwilling to approach the Swamp Mist.

But just as the two were circling around, another group of people appeared in the woods.

Because of the surrounding fog, Shen Yaoxing's detection skills were limited, resulting in her being unable to avoid the collision.

Lu Ren looked wary and shielded Shen Yaoxing behind him.

Shen Yaoxing had been exposed to the night sky for too long, and her rationality had been severely affected. At this moment, she was no different from a child.

Just like when Lu Youhe was a child, she followed him around like a little shadow.

Miss Shen treats him very well and trusts him completely; he cannot betray that trust.

"Huh, there's still someone here."

There were three people in the group, two men and one woman. It seemed that the woman was in charge. She was also young and had a beautiful face. Judging from her attire, she should be a professional like a "magician".

"There's someone here, that's perfect."

One of the men said arrogantly to Lu Ren, "You two, go inside, find that swamp monster, dig out its remains and give them to us. If you succeed, you'll each get two thousand dollars."

The swamp monster's spirit skeleton has two bronze-level skills: "Swamp Mist" and "Swamp Gas Explosion." These are skills for magic users, and even in Linjiang City, they sell for tens of thousands of yuan. In other places, they can even fetch hundreds of thousands of yuan.

This group of people wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
