Chapter 335: Lin Sanjiu Constructed A Toilet

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

Lin Sanjiu felt that she was too naive to think that she had improved quite a lot.

The "crescent moon" was made of a dull, sheenless material. It moved soundlessly through the air like a specter in the cold night. Lin Sanjiu's eyes followed the crescent moon closely, yet her body felt slow and sluggish compared to the crescent moon.

When she first saw it, it was still a distance from her. However, when she blinked her eyes again, it was already by her side. She couldn't even catch how the crescent moon could move in a split second. To avoid getting hit, she thrust herself toward the ground once more.

Lin Sanjiu had tossed Soulsqn out of her way earlier. Lin Sanjiu crawled up from the ground and stared forward. Right now, she had not recovered her full strength. Even if she was at her top condition, she knew that she could not outrun the attacks from that black crescent moon. To avoid the attention of the two people fighting, Soulsqn moved backward, little by little.

Bam! With a loud sound, the ground shook as the crescent moon hit the ground. Lin Sanjiu felt her bones shaking from the impact. It hurt. She sucked in a mouthful of air with a hiss and before she could even observe her surroundings. She felt the hairs on her skin stand on end. She quickly rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the black crescent moon that dove down once again.

She didn't even have the chance to ask "why".

The black crescent moon moved in an arc shape in mid-air. Following the shape of its trajectory, crescent moons of different sizes appeared one after another solidifying and disappearing immediately. The first crescent slowly faded so that it was now translucent like a bubble. It became a shape of a gibbous moon and floated in the sky like a fallen star.

"Of the five phases of the moon, I only used one. I don't think it is too hard on you, right?" There was a cruel sense of humor in Hei Zeji's voice. The hardened tone of his voice seemed to be forged through bloodshed and destruction and seemed to be able to stir an intense fear at will. This was not the first time Lin Sanjiu had felt such an aura vicious enough to make anyone tense up...

Even so, as that gibbous moon started to move again and disappear from her sight, she found it hard to believe that Hei Zeji had intentions to kill her—

The next second, a force which burst forth from the gibbous moon hit her waist. Lin Sanjiu was flung far away. If a building was hit by that force, it would have been halved.

Lin Sanjiu was flung so high up that she was just a small figure in the air. This was quickly followed by a loud thud as she fell heavily to the ground. Dirt and grass flew everywhere as the ground shook a little. Even though she had managed to open up her wings in the air, a few pieces of bones from them broke off, flying through the air.

After some time had passed, a trembling figure finally struggled up amidst the dust.

The moment Lin Sanjiu realized that she could not dodge that attack, she immediately activated her [Defence Forcefield] and concentrated her higher consciousness around her waist. Her eyes were still blurry after that blast of light from her [Defence Forcefield].

Thankfully, her high-risk strategy to concentrate her protective barrier around her waist worked. After she sat up and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, she finally felt her twisting organs settling down.

By then, Hei Zeji was already standing in front of her.

"You suck," he commented coldly with a hint of annoyance. "You are a Growth-type with quite a high potential value, how did you develop to such a state today?"

Lin Sanjiu looked at him, confused. For a second, she didn't know what he meant.

Every word from Hei Zeji was like a sharp knife specifically directed at her as he continued condescendingly, "You are planning to leave the amusement park just because you can't get past the first station? You are still that weak sh*t just as before. If this were a pocket dimension that didn't allow you to exit, were you going to just start crying?"

He lifted a corner of his mouth without any hint of jest.

"Your combat techniques are all wrong."

From the current situation, it seemed as if really did not intend to kill her. However, with cold sweat pouring from her head, she felt even worse than the moment she was physically attacked.

"How many worlds have you been to? I've only been to—"

She felt those words on the tips of her tongue but somehow she didn't retort.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, Hei Zeji's word had caught her Achilles' heel.

If she was trapped in a situation where she couldn't back out, what would she do?

Lin Sanjiu bit her lower lip but she momentarily couldn't think of a solution.

"Stand up."

Hei Zeji lowered his eyes as he spat those two words coldly. After that, he turned and continued down Frog Route as if he couldn't be bothered with her anymore.

"Wait, wait… You mentioned that my techniques are all wrong?" Lin Sanjiu hurt all over, it felt as though she had been run over by a train. Before she could react properly, she struggled to follow him, "What do you mean? I have defeated many people in the past!"

The person walking in front of her did not even bother to turn back to respond.

Lin Sanjiu wasn't willing to take it lying down. She was angry and confused, but she also felt a hint of craving that she didn't even notice herself. She hastened her pace and followed behind Hei Zeji like his tail.

When the two people walked back to the Bumper Karts, Soulsqn had already escaped long ago.

Hei Zeji shot a glance at Lin Sanjiu.

"Just let her go," Lin Sanjiu said. After thinking about it, she realized that she wasn't worried at all. "She can't complete this pocket dimension anyway, she would just be a burden. Besides, I know she won't go far. She would probably wait for me at the entrance door.

That was very possible. Unless Soulsqn personally saw Lin Sanjiu's corpse, she would not give up on her hope for reproduction.

The biggest problem she had now was that the castle doors were already shut and Lin Sanjiu only had 5 Stamina points.

If she wanted to play the Bumper Karts again, she would need to pay for the entrance fee of 5 points. In other words, if she wanted to keep all her limbs and get past 12 am without any body parts missing, she would have to win at least two rounds.

Once she thought about this, her brows furrowed and she sighed.

Her sigh faded into the silent surrounding. She was startled. When she looked up, Lin Sanjiu realized that Hei Zeji had walked far away from her without even giving her any notice. Anxious, she quickly ran after him.

"Uh," she said as she tried to make conversation with this cold and fierce man. "Where are your two ice cream cones?"

"I finished them when I was hitting you," Hei Zeji replied without even looking.

"Both of those ice cream cones were at least 500g each," Lin Sanjiu was slightly stunned.

Then she laughed, "You like sweet food?"

"Yeah."

Hei Zeji wasn't the best person to have a conversation with. Lin Sanjiu had to stop with the small talk because she didn't know how to continue. In the end, she ran in front of him decisively and lowered her head with a sincere attitude.

"You... mentioned that I did everything wrong. Can you tell me what is right? What should I do?" Lin Sanjiu asked rather hastily, "If I had the right combat techniques, could I get through that station? Could you please tell me?"

Once she calmed down, Lin Sanjiu had an inkling of the situation. Hei Zeij probably didn't even treat her as a real opponent. He was probably just testing her casually. However, even with her full capabilities, Lin Sanjiu barely escaped getting badly hurt.

Hei Zeji looked at Lin Sanjiu expressionless. She did not know what he was thinking.

"Follow me," he finally said after Lin Sanjiu started trembling from the waiting. Then, he strode off to the Bumper Karts attraction.

She was so anxious that her heart raced even as she quickly followed him.

"You need to know two things," Hei Zeji said without turning to look at Lin Sanjiu. While he spoke, he made a gesture and a couple of waxing crescent moons appeared in his hand in a disk-like arrangement. "Firstly, with your aptitude and Potential Growth Value, your combat capabilities should be at least three times better."

He kicked open the door to the arena impatiently. The old woman in the F1 uniform immediately looked up before standing up sluggishly. Lin Sanjiu had already been here once so she knew that the old woman was going to collect the entrance fee from them.

With a beep, Lin Sanjiu swiped her wrist past a sort of card-detector device, "If that's the case, why am I not three times stronger?"

"You used ten tonnes of steel to construct a toilet. You basically just wasted your talent," Hei Zeji sprang up and leaped into a white bumper kart. He moved so smoothly that it was almost incomprehensible how he could feel his pair of long legs. "Just choose any one of the karts. Remember this. Don't attack them with your weapons."

Lin Sanjiu looked once at the waxing crescent moons in his hand. Following which, she found the blue bumper kart she used previously. To her, she wanted to succeed where she failed.

"Why would you help me?"

"I am already helping you. So stop dawdling like a sissy."

"What is the second matter?"

Even though they were a few bumper karts away from each other, Lin Sanjiu could still hear his answer clearly. "In every station within Starry Carnival Amusement Park, the difficulty of the first round is adjusted to the player's capabilities. After each round, the difficulty would be increased by a few folds based on that baseline."

"What?" Lin Sanjiu thought that she might have misheard him, "You mean—"

"Yeah," Hei Zeji frowned with annoyance as he flashed a white canine tooth almost threateningly, "Starry Carnival Amusement Park is a pocket dimension that works specifically for Growth-type posthumans. Only Growth-types can keep up with its difficulty slope. If we want to bring you back on the right track, there isn't any better place."

Lin Sanjiu stared at him in a daze. The old woman pressed a bell and the bumper karts started moving. This was when something daunted on Lin Sanjiu.

"This is the reason why Santa Claus doesn't enter this place himself despite how powerful he is."
