Chapter 163: The Indeterminate Equation of Luck, Pirate World, God's Punishment Begins

Bai Cangshu wore a special "electric therapy" device, then pressed the switch himself.

Zzz~

A powerful electric current pierced his brain in an instant; his physical body seemed to possess high resistance, and for a moment, the current emitted intense electric light on his skin, sparks flying everywhere, surrounded by electric light.

Intense burning pain pierced his nerves in an instant.

Even for Bai Cangshu, his brows were tightly furrowed at this moment; that neural pain did not dissipate in the slightest, but instead became increasingly painful as the instrument continuously increased its power.

【You have used the item: Superpower Violent Stimulation Instrument】

【You have suffered a certain amount of electric shock damage...】

【You have exempted brain damage...】

【You have exempted nerve damage...】

【Your Spirit attribute +1, currently: 20】

【Sinful Reincarnator ex051, you have officially touched the Spirit Extreme Value; you may accept the trial mission to break through the Extreme Value at the Rank Management Office at any time】

Bai Cangshu's face was pale, the electric light still flashing; he looked at the prompt before him, his lips trembling, preparing to throw away the instrument—he had never held much hope of awakening a so-called superpower from an item of this grade anyway.

Bai Cangshu had intended to use this item merely as a tool to increase his Spirit attribute; trading a C-rank Singularity for 1 point of Spirit attribute was definitely not profitable, but it was a choice made out of necessity to gather enough of the four attributes to touch the Extreme Value one world early.

In 【Spirit Ability 100%】, there were not many people who had their superpowers stimulated in this way, and those abilities, in the final analysis, were all too weak.

The moment Bai Cangshu reached out to grab the instrument, preparing to tear it off, a wisp of electric light suddenly pierced through his temple; this time, it was not that terrible, nerve-burning pain that appeared.

Instead, it was a cool and refreshing sensation, as if it had circulated through all his nerves in an instant; he felt his thinking was clearer than ever before.

Zzz~

The electric current in the device on his head extinguished.

【Item destroyed】

【Your Spirit attribute +1, currently: 20+ (21)】

【You have awakened the superpower: Indeterminate Equation of Luck (B+)】

【Indeterminate Equation of Luck (B+): Special superpower; you possess the ability to twist the luck of everyone around you. You can plunder the target's luck through all forms of interaction such as touching, attacking, or killing; at the same time, you will also have your luck plundered by others in the same way.】

Bai Cangshu frowned; he had actually obtained a superpower, and quite a bizarre one at that.

Among all superpowers, the most bizarre are likely those involving 【Causality】 and 【Fate】; these types of abilities are more ambiguous and harder to grasp or deal with than those of the 【Rule】, 【Probability】, or 【Paradox】 categories.

Bai Cangshu looked at his hands, not noticing any changes to his body at all, as if only a certain nerve had been affected.

"Indeterminate Equation of Luck..."

This time, Bai Cangshu truly felt something; ever since he entered the Infinite Dimensional Space, there had been something in the dark influencing him.

His own path of luck was indeed abnormally strong.

And he was inextricably entangled with this thing called 【Luck】.

For a moment, he could not judge whether this phenomenon was good or bad.

But regardless of how this superpower actually performed, his Spirit attribute had indeed been enhanced, and he had successfully touched the Extreme Value.

Bai Cangshu then quickly went to the Goddess, spent a D-rank Singularity to replenish the energy for 【Secret Rite: Strike of Inari】, and finally, with ten minutes left before the deployment began, arrived at the 【Rank Management Office】 right on time.

"Knight Girl, I have come to accept the trial to cross the Extreme Value."

Knight Girl put down the palm-wide longsword in her hand; she stared at Bai Cangshu, showing an expression of amazement.

"I didn't expect that in this generation of Infinite Reincarnators, there would still appear a Reincarnator like you..."

Her expression changed immediately, as if she realized she had said something she shouldn't have; she shook her head and revealed a spirited smile once more.

"Let me witness the birth of a perfect Reincarnator."

She held her hands in a prayer position before her chest, and golden radiance began to emanate; subsequently, a ball of golden light landed in front of Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu reached out to touch it.

【You have triggered the Special Trial: Supernatural Path】

【Supernatural Path: You have already felt the shackles of your species, the chains of your genes, and the limits of biology; you are determined to completely transcend these limits and achieve the supernatural;】

【Trial Content A: Hunt 1 Strength-type supernatural lifeform; hunt 1 Agility-type supernatural lifeform; hunt 1 Spirit-type supernatural lifeform; hunt 1 Constitution-type supernatural lifeform】

【Trial Content B: Hunt a composite-type super lifeform or legendary creature】

Bai Cangshu focused on Trial Content B and discovered that among the legendary creatures and super lifeforms, most were powerful races with no blind spots: Dragon Species, Demon Species, Angel Species, Holy Spirits... he even saw 【Star Spirit】.

Bai Cangshu was almost amused by this option.

He recalled a funny joke he had seen on the internet before; he hadn't found it funny at all at the time, but now he felt a bit more of a sense of immersion.

"Space: You, a First Tier Reincarnator, go and kill a Star Spirit."

"Me?"

The so-called 【Star Spirit】 was likely one of the three strongest species in the 【Box Garden World】, lifeforms conceived with an entire planet or even a star as their matrix.

"Because you are the most special type of Reincarnator, you can complete this trial in two ways. If you choose Trial A, then for every supernatural lifeform you kill, you can complete the corresponding part and obtain incomplete Chao-fan Te-zheng;"

"And if you complete Trial B, then you will obtain all the Chao-fan Te-zheng at once; you might even redefine a new type of human species."

Just as Bai Cangshu was currently labeled as 【Human: Perfect Individual (Mythical Species, Myriad Phenomenon Species)】, it must have been that in some mythical age, a certain human first had their bloodline evolve due to the addition of various powers, thus giving birth to a new human species bloodline.

【Deployment is about to begin, please ensure the surrounding environment is stable】

Seeing the prompt, Bai Cangshu turned and left the 【Rank Management Office】, then teleported directly back to his Private Space.

He took out the map of 【Golden Town: Promised Land】 and chose to use it directly.

【You have used a Special Item; the deployment target has been affected】

【Deployment beginning...】

【3...】

……

At the same time, inside the East District, multiple teams reacted simultaneously.

In a garden bathed in sunlight, the Moon Demon drew his Black Blade 【Night】, stood up, and the Recording Pointer and Directional Anchor beside him shattered together, turning into radiance and beginning to spin.

A rare smile appeared on his serious face.

Jing also stood behind him at the same time.

Meanwhile, in another chaotic Assembly Space, the Flame Demon shouted, raised his shattered Directional Anchor, and announced loudly to everyone in the gathering.

"Everyone, watch as I go and slay that Moon Demon!"

He was then enveloped by a stream of information along with a group of distinct-looking Reincarnators behind him.

In a massive, silver-white building as luxurious as a palace, the Snow Witch suddenly tapped the ground.

Frost interrupted the movements of several people in an instant.

The Snow Witch frowned and said,

"Give up on tracking the Flame Demon; some very dangerous guys are participating in this mission..."

The others were confused, but no one questioned the Snow Witch's judgment; everyone knew that a certain close friend of the Snow Witch was a high-ranking member of the 【Destiny】 Gathering, a Chosen One of the third Ladder, capable of knowing information that other Reincarnators could not.

At this moment, that man dressed in a white stand-collar uniform directly destroyed the Directional Anchor and Recording Pointer in his hand, and the tracking failed completely.

He was instantly dropped and left.

"What's wrong? This world should have been a rare, grand scene this time."

"The struggle between the two lords, 【End Sun】 and 【Dead Silence Fate】, should only have the final window period left. With 【Destiny】, 【Void Throne】, and 【Blue Sky】 joining forces to mediate and intervene, even these two should give up targeting the forces under each other after this mission cycle ends."

"The life-and-death battle between the Moon Demon and the Flame Demon, and the rebellion and manhunt of the Great Demon, have almost all reached this final opportunity..."

"What exactly is the danger that makes you judge that we must give up this hunt?"

The person standing beside the Snow Witch had an eerily pale complexion, with blood vessels clearly visible beneath the skin, and emerald-green blood flowing inside.

The Snow Witch glanced at the other person and said irritably,

"Tree Shepherd, if you really think this is a great hunting opportunity, then you can go and try."

"I am just telling you... members of the 【Black King Society】 have been dispatched."

【Tree Shepherd】's pupils shrank, and he did not speak again.

——

Bai Cangshu suddenly felt a chill; waves crashed against his feet one after another, bringing his senses back into his body bit by bit.

He blinked, and his vision recovered accordingly.

Bai Cangshu's powerful senses began to bring all the sounds and images from the surroundings back to his brain in an instant.

In the far distance, the sky was as black as ink, and a terrifying hurricane connected the sky and the ocean; nearby, it had also become gloomy, and the air was high in moisture; just breathing felt uncomfortably damp.

On the nearby beach, a huge wooden merchant ship was left with only half remaining, capsized on the sand.

And on the beach around him, several other figures were just beginning to move.

Clearly, the entry method for this batch of Reincarnators was as survivors of a shipwrecked merchant ship.

White seabirds in the sky cried out shrilly, as if unable to wait to escape some dangerous place; large quantities of wanted posters were thrown down by them, which confirmed to Bai Cangshu that they were not seagulls, but a species unique to this world, 【News Bird】, specifically used for delivering newspapers.

Bai Cangshu lowered his head and picked up one that was stuck to his feet.

Red handwriting began to appear line by line in a scrawled, flowery script.

"Ha, it really has been messed up by those guys, this world."

A frivolous voice sounded from the other side of the beach; a Reincarnator wearing a half-silver mask was spinning a pitch-black revolver in his hand, deliberately making noise to attract everyone's attention.

He had dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his hair was tied in the kind of dreadlocks usually chosen by Black people.

Seeing that everyone had woken up, he reached out to test, and the Space Barrier in front of him had disappeared.

His mouth split open, his face flushed with excitement, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Hey hey, it's rare to have so many Reincarnators for this mission... let's..."

"Slaughter each other!"

Bang!

He suddenly opened fire; the protective talisman in front of another Reincarnator instantly lit up, and then the latter realized what had happened, a flash of light appearing on their hand as a machine gun emerged.

He picked up the machine gun directly and began firing wildly at the other party.

The actions of these two were like a fuse, instantly causing the group of Reincarnators on the beach to begin attacking each other frantically.

Bai Cangshu watched this scene indifferently; it had to be said that the Spirit state of these Reincarnators was truly worth pondering, and here, the diversity of life made Bai Cangshu feel overjoyed.

There were both the types who would come up to try to communicate and unite with others, and these lunatics who would start shooting at the first sign of disagreement.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu's body moved, and a bullet grazed his body, burying itself into the sand.

He looked up and saw that guy wearing a mask, who was dodging while the protective talisman on his body kept lighting up, yet the gun in his hand was still firing continuously at the people around him.

Judging by the movements, it seemed as if he were deliberately provoking them.

Bai Cangshu lifted his left foot high; a few people only then noticed Bai Cangshu's presence, their pupils constricting as they shouted,

"Watch out, it's Tao Baibai!"

Boom!

A massive amount of sand exploded instantly, and Bai Cangshu's figure vanished in a flash; he flew nearly a hundred meters in an instant, looking at the man with dreadlocks he had just bypassed, whose pupils were trembling as fear had only just begun to rise.

Bai Cangshu had already taken another step, instantly turning back, and reached out to grab the man's throat, but an invisible barrier blocked his path.

The man also recognized Tao Baibai's identity at this moment and fired two shots from his pistol instantly; when he fired, he did not aim at all, but instead completed the shots by flicking the gun, the line of fire not entirely consistent with his movements.

But Bai Cangshu stood where he was.

Clang!

Clang!

After two sounds, his right hand vanished instantly, and the next moment it struck in front of the opponent, the protective talisman shattering as a result.

"Tao Baibai, don't kill me..."

The man had just started to speak when his throat was already gripped; Bai Cangshu had no interest in listening to the other party's so-called conspiracies and schemes, and he applied force with his hand.

Crack, the sound of a windpipe breaking rang out.

But the next moment, an extremely terrifying feeling appeared in Bai Cangshu's heart; Bai Cangshu lowered his head to look at his own arm, and his overly powerful vision clearly saw the fine hairs on his arm standing up one by one.

He suddenly realized something: the guy whose neck he had broken but who had not yet died had his dreadlocks beginning to unravel bit by bit.

This phenomenon is... a lightning strike!

Crackle!

A blue-white bolt of lightning like a Pillar reaching to Heaven crashed down from the sky, instantly enveloping both Bai Cangshu and the man with dreadlocks.

Crackle!

Crackle!

The thunderstorm descended from the sky like raindrops; a moment later, there was no one left on the beach, only charred corpses remaining.

Zzz~

Electric light shot over from afar; a man with his upper body bare, his entire body wreathed in lightning, stood in mid-air with his eyelids lowered, looking at the corpses covering the ground, his eyes flickering.

"There is one more sound..."

One update fewer today; I had a headache last night, so I'm resting a bit and will continue updating in the afternoon.
