Chapter 202: Visiting Family (Part 2)

Ghost Fire Attachment: Continuously consumes Magic Power to cover any part of one's body or equipment with a layer of Ghost Fire. The attached Ghost Fire can inflict soul Scorch on those it touches and can deal continuous damage to Demon-type and ghost-type monsters.

Hell Lament: Consumes 4 points of Magic Power to cause continuous soul attacks within a 500-meter radius; those attacked will feel dizzy.

{Note: The higher the target's constitution, the less the dizziness. }

Nether Cold Ice Spike: Consumes 1 point of Magic Power to form ice spikes on the ground in front, dealing damage to enemies along the path.

Zhu Zhiquan had only just finished reading the effects of the new skill when he tried it out inside the carriage. He immediately mobilized the Magic Power within his body, and the next second, Ghost Fire covered his entire body.

As soon as Zhu Zhiquan opened his Personal Panel, he discovered that his Magic Power was decreasing at a rate of one point every two seconds.

Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan tested the Magic Power consumption rate bit by bit on his arms, thighs, forehead, and other areas, then tested the consumption rate when attached to different weapons.

After testing the skill's consumption, Zhu Zhiquan roughly figured out its consumption characteristics. That is, the larger the area of attachment, the greater the consumption; after calculating, Zhu Zhiquan also figured out that without counting other consumption, he could maintain the attachment for at most 7 minutes.

It was a pity that they were currently in a city, and since this was also their home planet, it meant Zhu Zhiquan had no intention of testing new skills here.

What's more, due to the influence of the Game System, the people of Blue Star could not perceive their existence at all. If he were to test skills recklessly, not to mention whether his conscience would be clear, he feared there would be a few more reports of paranormal events on this Blue Star.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin stopped the Tricycle, turned around, pointed at a building, and said to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, we're here. This is my home~"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan looked in the direction she pointed and discovered it was an ordinary apartment building with the words "Big Tomato Apartment" written on it.

Zhao Yuxin found a random place to park the Tricycle, then led Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao into the apartment building.

The lighting in the apartment building's stairwell was poor, with only a small amount of light able to shine in, and parts of the wall plaster had peeled off, revealing the aged bricks inside.

As she led the way, Zhao Yuxin explained, "Our family has rented this place for over nine years. I remember I was still in middle school then, and what I liked most was playing arcade games with my classmates nearby.

Back then, I was the arcade king! Not a single classmate was my opponent, to the point where they banned me from playing arcade games with them. They said I was too strong and were afraid to play with me. Back then……………"

Unknowingly, they arrived under Zhao Yuxin's lead in front of a door with door gods posted on it. Zhao Yuxin skillfully took a key from under the doormat and opened the door, then put it back in its original place.

After entering the door, Zhao Yuxin did not immediately invite Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao into the room, but instead strode toward the living room.

Sitting in the living room were a middle-aged couple. At this moment, the man was anxiously making a phone call, his pleading tone revealing his anxiety, while the woman was frowning, looking at her husband with an expectant face.

"Dad! Mom! I'm home~" Zhao Yuxin shouted with teary eyes, but under the influence of the Game System, her parents could neither hear nor see her.

Yet Zhao Yuxin did not think much of it and threw herself into her mother's arms. Even with direct contact, her mother still did not notice her.

Noticing that her parents did not notice her, Zhao Yuxin tried to snatch her father's phone, wanting to make her father notice her.

But when she used a little force, her body passed directly through her father's body. Zhao Yuxin tried various ways to make her parents notice her as if she didn't believe it, but either the traces left behind were erased by the system, or objects passed through her body.

In the end, a desperate Zhao Yuxin gave up on all futile efforts, kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly as she watched her parents.

Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao quietly came up behind her and hugged Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yuxin's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice sounding a bit hoarse, "My daughter~ where on earth did you go! Please, quickly reply to Mom~"

At this time, Zhao Yuxin's father hung up the phone and comforted his wife, "Don't worry, dear, Officer Hong will definitely find our daughter! He definitely will…………"

There was a faint sadness in the firm tone of Zhao Yuxin's father, which made the emotions of the weeping Zhao Yuxin collapse even further. She broke free from the embrace of Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao and leaned on her mother's shoulder, telling her everything.

The desolate scene made Zhu Zhiquan sigh involuntarily; perhaps his return to his own home would be this same scene. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiquan couldn't help but turn around, letting Zhao Yuxin release her emotions there.

"Hmm~" Xuebao watched its mother kneeling in front of two people and crying bitterly. As a plant created by her, Xuebao didn't understand at all why Zhao Yuxin had to kneel when she saw these two people, nor did it understand why she had to cry. Could it be for fun?

Thinking of this, Xuebao also knelt down and cried bitterly, which instead left Zhao Yuxin full of confusion; looking at Xuebao's behavior, she felt as if she had created a moron.

Zhu Zhiquan heard that Zhao Yuxin was no longer crying and immediately turned around, preparing to comfort her, but when he saw Xuebao also kneeling to the side and crying, his brain crashed on the spot.

Sensing the gazes of the two, Xuebao turned its head and gave them a silly smile, its tongue sticking out of its mouth and panting continuously, its eyes revealing the look of a husky.

Suddenly, the originally desolate atmosphere was broken. This comical behavior made Zhao Yuxin almost laugh, while Zhu Zhiquan watched Xuebao calmly from behind.

"Hmm~" Seeing her mother no longer crying, Xuebao excitedly licked her face.

Zhao Yuxin stroked Xuebao's head with a kind expression. After being stroked by Zhao Yuxin, Xuebao barked happily twice and kept rubbing its head against Zhao Yuxin.

Seeing that Zhao Yuxin was no longer sad, Zhu Zhiquan helped Zhao Yuxin up and said to her, "Azhao, it's about time to part with your parents."

Zhao Yuxin gave a hum and said her final goodbyes to her parents. Although her parents could not perceive her actions, for Zhao Yuxin, this was enough.

When she brought Xuebao and Zhu Zhiquan to the door, she took one last look at her parents before reluctantly closing the door again.

After closing the door, Zhao Yuxin's whole body trembled continuously, her eyes still revealing reluctance. Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan didn't know what to say, so he could only hug her from behind, hoping to reduce her sad emotions.

Zhao Yuxin gently patted Zhu Zhiquan's hand that was hugging her and showed a firm smile to Zhu Zhiquan.

Seeing that firm look in Zhao Yuxin's eyes, Zhu Zhiquan immediately understood and quickly made space for Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yuxin knelt down in front of her home's door and kowtowed a few times, then turned and walked down the stairs, preparing to return to the Tricycle.

Zhu Zhiquan held Xuebao's hand and followed behind Zhao Yuxin, while at the same time, thinking that his own parents might also be unable to see him, a trace of helplessness rose in his heart.
