Chapter 7: Chapter 7 The Rage of the Blood-colored Ghost
At that moment.
The System Prompt Sound suddenly rang in his mind, "Ding, you have accumulated five lottery draws, would you like to start the draw?"
"Uh? I already have five?" Lu Zixun's eyes brightened, dispelling his gloom.
"Draw the lottery!"
The familiar colorful wheel appeared again, its pointer rapidly spinning from the red square.
"Ding, congratulations on acquiring cat food."
"Ding, congratulations on acquiring cat food."
"Ding, congratulations on acquiring cat food."
"Ding, congratulations on winning 100,000 Huaxia Coins."
"Ding, congratulations on acquiring a dog's sense of smell."
After drawing, Lu Zixun felt so irritated he could almost explode.
Hehe.
What the hell do I need cat food for?
I'm a cat with taste, only eating gourmet food, alright?
And a dog's sense of smell?
What is this crap, I'm not even a dog!
Feeling the host's resentment, the system issued another prompt sound, "Ding, you have one free lottery draw, would you like to use it?"
"Use it," Lu Zixun said irritably.
"Ding, congratulations on drawing a White Ball, you have now collected three White Balls, the system is randomly selecting a Superpower item for you."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun's mood slightly improved.
At the same time, he felt uneasy, unsure of what Superpower item he would draw.
"Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Superpower item, the Mask of the Shape-Shifting Monster, would you like to retrieve it?"
The Mask of the Shape-Shifting Monster?
Lu Zixun suddenly recalled a movie from his past life, "The Mask."
In it, there was a mask that could attach to a person's face, granting the wearer immense power.
But knowing the system's quirks, the Mask of the Shape-Shifting Monster would probably differ somewhat from the one in the movie.
"Retrieve it."
Lu Zixun wasn't worried about being noticed by others, for anything generated by the system couldn't be seen by ordinary people.
In a moment, Lu Zixun felt his face cool as if he had applied a cold mask.
Soon after, the mask turned into droplets, burrowing into the pores of his face.
"The Mask of the Shape-Shifting Monster: Wearing it, your essence can be concealed, and your face can transform into anyone's appearance and mimic their essence."
So that's what it was.
Lu Zixun then looked at the "dog's sense of smell" in his backpack, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to use it.
It was still a skill, after all. If it's free, use it. Backpack slots were limited and shouldn't be wasted.
After clicking to use the "dog's sense of smell," Lu Zixun felt warmth in his nose, and his sense of smell seemed to increase by hundreds of times.
He could even smell the braised meat shop a hundred meters away without it being in sight, its savory aroma entering his nose first.
"It's not as useless as I imagined," Lu Zixun thought.
...
The night deepened.
In the pitch-dark room, a charming young girl was deep asleep, hugging a plump Orange Cat.
At that moment.
No one noticed, a spinning-top-shaped head suddenly appeared outside the living room window.
It slowly contracted its body, squeezing through the security window, gently sliding the window open with its hand.
The window was not locked.
The mysterious creature smoothly wriggled into the room, its slender body resembling a wide noodle as it quietly wandered the dark living room.
Not long after, it focused its gaze on Lin Siyin's bedroom.
Lu Zixun was awakened by a nauseating, bloody smell, which was becoming increasingly clear.
"Something's at the door."
Lu Zixun instantly opened his eyes, wriggling out from Lin Siyin's embrace.
With cat's eyes, the environment of the room was clearly visible.
Beneath the door crack, a mud-like, dark mess was slowly creeping in.
The nauseating, bloody smell was emanating from it.
"What is that?"
Lu Zixun watched the mud cautiously, a sense of danger enveloping his heart.
His instincts told him, he couldn't let this mud fully creep inside!
With that thought, Lu Zixun agilely jumped off the bed, the air around him flowing rapidly.
He activated his Superpower, and in a single breath, he was in the living room, mud clutched in his hand.
"Smack!"
Like slinging putty, Lu Zixun flung the object in his hand onto the ground.
The mysterious creature got angry.
It quickly stood up, its long fangs extending from its mouth.
Lu Zixun saw it clearly.
This was a creature he had never seen before, broad and long-bodied, with two pitch-black eye sockets void of eyeballs.
Sharp, thin fangs adorned either side of its mouth, and its head was extremely pointy, resembling a spinning top or a well-sharpened pencil head.
"Holy crap, is this an alien?"
Stunned by the creature before him, Lu Zixun grew even more cautious.
The mysterious creature silently made a hissing gesture towards Lu Zixun.
Then, it extended its arms and, with fangs bared, charged at him.
Lu Zixun's form flashed, and he appeared behind the mysterious creature—his tail delivered a sweeping blow.
"Smack."
The mysterious creature was slammed heavily against the wall, instantly leaving an imprint.
Lu Zixun furrowed his brow.
No good, I can't fight here, I'll demolish the house!
The next second, Lu Zixun, holding the mysterious creature, appeared on the lawn downstairs.
Lu Zixun revealed a fierce, grinning cat face.
Whether you're a mutant or an alien, in front of your meow-daddy, you're all little brothers!
"Ding, anger value from the Blood-colored Ghost +300."
Lu Zixun paused.
So this thing is called a Blood-colored Ghost.
And what surprised him was that this thing could also get angry, and it added so much anger value at once!
Could it be that this is the mission arranged by heaven for me to accumulate feeling value!
Hahahahaಡωಡhiahiahia!
Jackpot.
Lu Zixun wore a malicious smile.
Meanwhile, the Blood-colored Ghost had just gotten up from the ground, still experiencing anger value.
"Ding, anger value from the Blood-colored Ghost +100."
"Ding, anger value from the Blood-colored Ghost +150."
"Ding, anger value from the Blood-colored Ghost +50."
"..."
After countless times smashing the Blood-colored Ghost into a pit.
The system alert changed—
"Ding, fear value from the Blood-colored Ghost +300."
Lu Zixun was delighted.
This thing finally got scared.
So, he immediately pulled the Blood-colored Ghost out of the pit.
He even heard the sound of bones breaking along the way.
After pulling it out, he found that he had accidentally broken off two of the Blood-colored Ghost's long fangs.
Afterward, the Blood-colored Ghost lay there as if dead, motionless.
"What's going on? How did it die? I wanted to accumulate more feeling value!"
Lu Zixun regretfully looked at the muddy mess of the Blood-colored Ghost in his hands.
Cavalierly throwing the dead Blood-colored Ghost back into the pit, Lu Zixun noticed that crimson blood was continuously flowing from the broken teeth of the Blood-colored Ghost.
"This thing couldn't be the legendary Vampire, could it?"
Lu Zixun thought suspiciously.
After checking his cat fur, he then returned to the house.
Worried that the blood scent on his body would affect the sleeping Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun grabbed a pillow from the bed, placed it on the floor, and then lay down to rest his eyes.
"System, how much feeling value do I have now?"
"Host, you currently have a cumulative total of 2600 feeling value points."
Lu Zixun's face brightened.
He hadn't expected to accumulate so much feeling value from the Blood-colored Ghost.
"Ding, reminder for the host, after reaching 3000 feeling values, the system will upgrade and unlock new features."
"Once upgraded, 3000 feeling value will automatically convert into fifteen chances for drawing, at which time the host may proceed with the operation."
After the system notification, Lu Zixun immediately curbed his urge to draw.
He was only short 400 points from the 3000 feeling value needed for the upgrade.
If he had gone a bit easier earlier and not killed the Blood-colored Ghost so quickly, he might have reached 3000 points.
He felt regret once again.
Suddenly, Lu Zixun shifted his gaze to Lin Siyin, who was sound asleep.
It seemed about time to drop the cat face and start some drama!
