Chapter 733

Inside a pitch-black room, this room was about ten square meters in size, windowless, and the only light source was the indicator lights of the medical equipment in the room.

These medical devices were casually arranged in a row, and coupled with a single bed in the center of the room, it made the already small room appear crowded. From the tangled wires, one could tell that the person using these devices didn't cherish them.

Beep, beep, beep...

The electrocardiogram waveform on the heart monitor was stable, which meant that Brother No-Umbrella, wearing an oxygen mask, was still alive.

Brother No-Umbrella's eyes were tightly closed. It was unknown how many surgeries he had undergone; there were multiple suture marks on his abdomen. It was only because Brother No-Umbrella's vitality was relatively strong, and his talent ability was a survival-type talent, otherwise, he would have died long ago.

It is worth mentioning that Brother No-Umbrella's talent ability is very interesting, the content is as follows.

【Survival in Desperate Straits】

Category: Rare Talent (Not Awakened)

Tier: None (Any talent before awakening has no tier)

Talent Effect (Passive): Luck -0.5. If health is below 50%, health recovery speed +5 points per second; if health is below 40%, health recovery speed +10 points per second; if health is below 20%, health recovery speed +30 points per second.

Hint: The talent ability effect does not conflict with any equipment or skill bonuses.

Hint: If the talent ability recovery effect is triggered, the recovery effect will continue until health is higher than 80% before stopping.

If Su Xiao saw Brother No-Umbrella's talent ability, he would definitely laugh out loud. There was actually a talent that reduced luck. Although the reduced value wasn't large, this kind of talent was extremely rare.

From this talent ability, one could guess Brother No-Umbrella's encounters. His luck wasn't good, and he often faced dangerous situations, but in desperate straits, Brother No-Umbrella survived by relying on his cockroach-like vitality.

If Brother No-Umbrella's health was below 20%, his health recovery speed per second could only be described as perverted. Moreover, Brother No-Umbrella also had equipment that increased health recovery speed.

When an enemy thought that the next strike could finish off Brother No-Umbrella, Brother No-Umbrella had actually already recovered a lot of health.

And Brother No-Umbrella's talent ability had not yet been awakened. After this ability was awakened, it would definitely have a very strong effect.

Beep~

The indicator lights of all medical equipment in the room went out. Losing the oxygen supplied by the medical oxygen concentrator, Brother No-Umbrella's tightly closed eyelids twitched.

"Eh?"

Brother No-Umbrella woke up leisurely. Everything in sight was pitch black. After the initial confusion, Brother No-Umbrella sat up with a whoosh.

"Am I... blind?"

Everything before his eyes was pitch black. Although Brother No-Umbrella escaped death, he was currently in a Derived World. If he were blind, it basically meant he couldn't leave this Derived World alive.

"Is it fate? Sigh~"

Brother No-Umbrella leaned back and lay on the bed. Noticing the feeling of restraint on his face, he took off the oxygen mask.

Click, the door was pushed open, and a ray of light shone in. Seeing this light, Brother No-Umbrella sat up again.

"I'm not blind!"

Brother No-Umbrella's face was filled with ecstasy.

"Blind what? The power went out."

Su Xiao walked into the room with a flashlight and came to Brother No-Umbrella's hospital bed.

"Thank you."

Brother No-Umbrella let out a long sigh. Although he had been stabbed by Su Xiao before, the fact that he was still alive now meant everything.

Beep, beep, beep...

The medical equipment in the room lit up. The power outage only lasted for a very short time. Su Xiao turned on the lights in the room, and the room was brightly lit. Brother No-Umbrella subconsciously tilted his head and squinted, blocking his eyes with his hand.

After adapting to the bright light, Brother No-Umbrella held a piece of purple equipment. It was a purple-quality ring. For Brother No-Umbrella, this was already a huge sum of money.

"This is my gratitude."

Brother No-Umbrella was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Counting this time, Su Xiao had already saved him twice.

Su Xiao leaned against the door and lit a cigarette.

"The information you provided on the Derived World contact platform before was very important. As for saving you this time, let's call it even."

Brother No-Umbrella's mouth opened and closed, and finally, he nodded.

"It's really thrilling. I had only heard before that high-tier Contractors entered low-tier worlds to kill people; I didn't expect to experience it personally."

Brother No-Umbrella sighed, then turned to check his own situation. The experience of the last surgery was still vivid in his mind, and he was obviously a bit terrified of Su Xiao's surgery.

Seeing those suture marks on his abdomen, Brother No-Umbrella's mouth twitched.

"Did you 'dismember' me and then piece me back together?"

"No, this is a doctor's masterpiece."

The one who performed the surgery on Brother No-Umbrella wasn't Su Xiao, but a middle-aged doctor he had kidnapped. That doctor received a huge hush-money payment and left satisfied. Before leaving, he even left Su Xiao his phone number, emphasizing multiple times to contact him if needed.

"Is that so? Then the Hashirama cells in my body..."

Brother No-Umbrella didn't want to turn into a tree. Before, he was only initially wood-fied, and that feeling was already worse than death.

"No danger within three days. As for after three days... it just depends on your luck."

"Heh~ I'll definitely turn into a 'vegetable' after three days."

Brother No-Umbrella gave a bitter smile; he was very confident about this.

"Oh? Why so sure?"

"This is a summary from the many Derived Worlds I've experienced. Sigh, a hard life."

Just as Brother No-Umbrella was feeling melancholy, a small head poked into the room through the door crack.

"Time to eat."

Sakura Matou called out timidly and then retracted her head, running towards the dining room. Because she was wearing a pair of oversized slippers that didn't fit, her steps appeared clumsy.

"Am I... okay?"

Brother No-Umbrella made a move to get up.

"No problem."

A few minutes later, Su Xiao, Brother No-Umbrella, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Sakura Matou were sitting around the dining table. As for Kariya Matou, he was sitting in the 'special seat', which was being tied to a pillar in the living room with iron chains.

Everyone was silent, just silently chewing their food.

"The taste is not bad. Is this takeout?"

Brother No-Umbrella spoke unclearly. In his view, Su Xiao definitely wouldn't know how to cook, and Sakura Matou couldn't either, as she was too young. As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Brother No-Umbrella couldn't imagine a 'Husky' cooking.

Sakura Matou held half a large grilled shrimp in her small hand and secretly pointed at Su Xiao.

"Eh~"

Brother No-Umbrella stopped chewing his food and turned his head stiffly to look at Su Xiao.

"You made this?!"

"Why, is there a problem with the taste?"

"No, nothing."

Brother No-Umbrella looked as if he had seen a ghost. He never expected that Su Xiao would actually know how to cook, and the food he made tasted quite good.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Sakura Matou lowered their heads and ate ravenously. Because Sakura Matou was younger and her mental state had just recovered, she didn't care about etiquette at all. She used chopsticks to pick up food close to her, and used her small hands to grab food that was far away, eating exceptionally happily. This wasn't being rude; having experienced such a thrilling encounter, being able to have this kind of behavior showed that the little girl's mind was tenacious.

After the meal, Su Xiao took out a tablet computer and started playing a puzzle game, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took out a mobile phone and started playing a mobile game, although it was very bad at it.

Sakura Matou had obviously eaten too much and was leaning against the chair, motionless.

Brother No-Umbrella looked at Su Xiao, who was addicted to the game and unable to extricate himself. His worldview was completely shattered. According to his assumptions, with Su Xiao's fierce aura, shouldn't he be sitting in the dark, thinking about future action strategies, or taking out his blade and wiping it repeatedly? What the hell is playing games?

The fact was not so. Su Xiao was only fierce during battle; he wouldn't show that kind of fierceness during normal times. If he were that fierce all the time, that wouldn't be domineering or cool, but mentally abnormal.
