Chapter 163: Unlocking Special Bullets

Here in the embrace of the World Mother, her children, the humans, naturally had no need to breathe.

While others might take a sip of the Water of Life, Kamiyu had plunged her entire body into the Two Realms River, absorbing the essence of the Water of Life through every pore on her body.

It was a thorough activation of the potential within her body.

“What is my potential?” Kamiyu asked herself in the warm river water.

In the next instant, her previously darkened Player status bar lit up again, returning to normal.

Unconsciously, she swiped through her Player Panel, opened the Enhancement Talent column, and scrolled to the very bottom.

“Huh? When did the Magic Bullet option get this addition—【Life Bullet】? What is this, does it give an extra life with each shot?”

“Life Bullet, two modes: Aging Mode: Accelerates the flow of life. Upon hitting the target, the target will age rapidly. When accelerated to the end of its lifespan, the target dies.

One shot can age the target by 10 years.”

“Wow, that’s incredible? It can deplete the target’s lifespan. No matter how much Health the target has, it’s useless. Next time I encounter a lifesteal monster like Lei Yao, a monster with ninety-nine Health Bars, a few shots will age him to death. It couldn’t be easier.

Also, when facing a true multi-life BOSS-level monster like Mohawk, a few dozen shots will still kill him.” Kamiyu said excitedly.

“If there’s an Aging Mode, there must be ‘that mode,’ right? A mode where one shot drains the target’s life to make oneself younger.” Kamiyu said wildly.

But starting from the next line of text, she was disappointed. There was no such unreasonable mode.

“Second mode: Proliferation Mode: Causes the target’s cells to divide, ultimately leading to collapse, at a speed a hundred times faster than cancer.”

“Huh, that sounds pretty gross. It sounds like something from high school biology, like mitosis, with cancer cells proliferating infinitely.”

“But the Proliferation Mode, like the first one, can ignore game attributes like Health, dealing true damage.”

“Wait, it says ‘target.’ For example, certain items that require time to cultivate and cannot be directly crafted—if I shoot them, will they grow rapidly?”

“Aging also means growth. For example, the Tianshan Snow Lotus needs over a hundred years to bloom and bear fruit.

Even the Construction Sage Talent cannot directly create such things; it can only first produce the seeds, which then need to be planted for a hundred years.

Now, if I shoot the seed once, isn’t that equivalent to watering and fertilizing it, making it grow ten years instantly?

Ten more shots, and I can harvest the fruit. This way, I can mass-produce Tianshan Snow Lotus.

And many time-sensitive items, like Fire Dragon Fruit, Ice Dragon Fruit, Lightning Dragon Fruit that gives +1000 Lightning Attribute Attack Power, can also be accelerated for harvest using this method.

Perfect. This Life Bullet must be unlocked.” Kamiyu thought to herself, feeling extremely pleased.

“Come on, unlock it.” Kamiyu clicked to unlock without hesitation.

“Zzzzzzzz, whir~ ding~”

【Successfully unlocked special Magic Bullet: Life Bullet】

Kamiyu immediately used her Construction Sage Talent to create a few hundred or even a thousand bullets to play with.

【Selection: Triple Attribute Formula; Filling: Magic Crystal Ore; Crafting Item: Life Bullet (Aging Mode), Life Bullet (Proliferation Mode)】

“Construct.” Kamiyu silently recited.

“Clang clang clang clang clang, ding~” The crisp sound of metalworking—Kamiyu absolutely loved this noise and didn’t find it the least bit annoying now.

【Successfully crafted: 1,000 Life Bullets (Triple Attributes) each.】

“Now, when using Aging Mode to attack someone, a single shot will wipe out 30 years of their lifespan—an entire generation’s worth.”

“Hiss, Life Bullets are truly terrifying.” Kamiyu almost felt reluctant to use them.

But when it came to planting and breeding, Kamiyu would use them relentlessly, every single day. The moment she woke up, she’d be wildly spraying her magical plantation.

“Huh, I don’t think I paid any Enhancement Points.” Kamiyu suddenly realized.

She had been too excited earlier and hadn’t noticed—she had unlocked Life Bullets without paying any Enhancement Points.

“Mephisto said the Two Realms River is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Could it be that enhancements here don’t require paying Enhancement Points?”

“Wow, then I should hurry and enhance other things, unlock all the Magic Bullets.”

But the next moment, Kamiyu felt like she had missed out. Her Player Enhancement Interface Panel wouldn’t let her use Enhancement Points; they were locked, whether for unlocking Magic Bullets or enhancing other things.

“Forget it, it seems the World Mother only allowed me to awaken this potential.” Kamiyu consoled herself.

It was time to return to the shore.

The next moment, Kamiyu was on the shore.

“Huh, what the heck? Didn’t I just jump into the Two Realms River?” Kamiyu was utterly shocked.

“No way, not this again. I experienced this once at the Holy Light Cathedral, and now here again. You can’t scare me.” Kamiyu immediately checked her Player Panel.

Life Bullets were indeed unlocked, and 2,000 bullets were lying neatly and fully in her spatial backpack.

Jack leaned over and asked, “Why are you shouting so loudly?”

“Don’t get so close; you bumped into me.” Kamiyu pushed Jack away but accidentally slipped into the river.

Was she going to fall into the water again?

The next moment, Kamiyu was “standing” on the river.

The water of the Two Realms River only reached her ankles, warm and gentle, like stepping on skin—a slightly disgusting feeling.

“What’s going on?”

“You’re the one acting weird. Everyone else has already crossed the river, but you’ve been standing still all this time.”

“We can cross the river?”

“The water isn’t deep.” Jack stepped onto it as well.

“Where’s Mephisto? Hurry up and explain. Wasn’t he just blabbering nonstop, putting on a mysterious act?” Kamiyu widened her eyes.

“Mephisto hasn’t said a word this whole time. What’s wrong with you? Do you need to drink some Mind-Steadying Potion?” Jack asked with concern.

“Jack, try drinking some of the river water and tell me if anything changes.” Kamiyu grabbed Jack’s arm, pulling him down to whisper to him.

“Are you kidding? This water is drinkable?” Jack whispered back.

“Just drink it.”

“Better not. Some guy named Shagen drank a tiny sip earlier and almost died. His health kept dropping, and it took dozens of health potions to save him.”

“Hiss.” Kamiyu couldn’t tell what was real or fake anymore.

“Let’s go, we need to cross the river quickly.” Jack tightly grasped Kamiyu’s small hand.

Kamiyu remained silent, carefully pondering what had happened, and murmured softly, “The icon is lit up—there really is a Life Bullet skill. And in the backpack, there are 2,000 bullets neatly arranged.”

“Could it be that, in the end, only I received the Enhancement?”
