Chapter 384: Chapter 383 Special Talent [Chaotic Eye]

But Zhou Muxi, after all, was an Awakener, and the feeling of age-related defeat brought about by being shown off to by a much younger brother for three rounds was ultimately not as intense as the frustration brought on by her identity as an Awakener.

She, as a Third Tier Awakened, had never seen Dark Purple Quality Set Equipment, yet the other party, only a Second Tier Awakened, already possessed it prematurely.

Just as Zhou Muxi was enveloped by a strong sense of defeat, she suddenly found a flaw in the situation. The other party clearly only wore a pair of earrings, but claimed it was a Dark Purple Quality two-piece set. This might be because the young man didn’t want to lose face in front of a Third Tier Awakened like her, so he was bluffing.

Thinking this, Zhou Muxi suddenly perked up, "Isn’t that just a pair of earrings? Why is it a Dark Purple Quality two-piece set?"

"Because the left earring and the right earring have different names—one is called Makarov’s Regret, and the other is called Makarov’s Regret—they are two separate pieces of equipment," Zhang Yanhang explained, and then removed one earring from his ear and handed it to Zhou Muxi.

"Ah, this?" Zhou Muxi took the earring and checked its attribute list, and indeed, it was called Makarov’s Regret and was actually part of a Dark Purple Quality two-piece set.

After checking the attribute list, Zhou Muxi quietly handed the earring back to Zhang Yanhang, who put it back on his ear and switched the earring back to hidden mode.

From initially wanting to expose the other’s flaw to now humiliating herself, it had taken her only a few seconds. Zhou Muxi had already started to reflect on why, after living for twenty-nine years, her ability to communicate with others was still so poor.

If her communication skills weren’t so poor, she might not be twenty-nine and still without a boyfriend, constantly enduring her parents nagging her to marry and matchmaking.

But fortunately, the Spiritual Qi Recovery had solved all this. Since becoming an Awakener, her parents no longer managed these aspects of her life, perhaps understanding that due to promotions in rank, she would have a long life span, and that marriage was not something to rush.

Feeling her train of thought derail due to the intense feeling of defeat, Zhou Muxi refocused her attention on the young Awakener in front of her.

Back to reality, she couldn’t help but reveal a somewhat complex expression on her face. Simultaneously, her gaze at Zhang Yanhang was filled with profound helplessness.

"You’ve already shown off three sets of equipment continuously, you’re not going to tell me you have more sets on you, right?"

This time Zhou Muxi was quite confident in ending the topic as she felt that no matter how lucky a person was, they couldn’t possibly have compiled more set equipment.

"If you really want to ask, then I can only say there is indeed more set equipment..." Zhang Yanhang just wanted to continue when Zhou Muxi abruptly stopped him.

"Enough! Can we talk about something else?!"

Considering that the other party always upgraded the quality of the items with each boast, if this continued, Zhou Muxi felt she really couldn’t take much more. She didn’t understand why she only wanted to have a good chat with the other party but it bizarrely turned into the current situation.

She definitely needed to buy some books on improving dialogue skills after returning, or even acquire a related Artful Speech skill. In any case, Zhou Muxi had really had enough of the current situation.

"Talk about something else? What about? Right, do you need me to introduce myself?" Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that although he knew Zhou Muxi’s name, Zhou Muxi might not know his.

"Self-introduction? Good idea! Let me introduce myself first! My name is Zhou Muxi, a Third Tier Awakened, and my Talent Ability is ’Chaotic Eye.’"

As a Third Tier Awakened, Zhou Muxi felt that maybe she should use a proper self-introduction to fully display her strength and significantly shock the other party to facilitate a smoother conversation.

Just as Zhang Yanhang wanted to say that he actually did know Zhou Muxi’s name, he realized that she had already begun talking non-stop about her Talent Ability, a segment Zhang Yanhang was quite familiar with.

After all, as part of the most crucial composition of Awakeners, they seemed to have formed a custom when introducing themselves, which was, in addition to introducing their names, they would also give a brief introduction of their Talent Abilities.

Previously, when he met the group leader, the group leader, like Zhou Muxi, also immediately introduced his Talent Ability "Curse Binding Vajra" after stating his name.

Zhang Yanhang felt that this custom had formed mainly because the relationships among Awakeners within the Empire were relatively friendly; there were no hostile or competitive relationships, so they were quite generous in introducing their abilities.

Moreover, introducing abilities while giving self-introductions also made it more convenient for each other to choose suitable teammates to form teams to hunt monsters in Ashen World.

After all, unlike Zhang Yanhang, whose type would reduce potential gains when hunting monsters with others, most Awakeners still preferred to find a few teammates to form a small team to hunt monsters in Ashen World as it was, without a doubt, much safer and greatly reduced the chance of death in Ashen World.

Having seriously listened to Zhou Muxi’s Talent Ability, Zhang Yanhang felt that her Talent, just like the group leader’s, was one that was especially suited for combat. You might ask what kind of Talent would be unsuited for combat?

Naturally, it would be the type of Talent that belongs to Zhang Yanhang!

Although his Talent of the destiny type, "Multiple Choice," was extremely rare, it had no direct offensive methods and was utterly incapable of attacking from any perspective, it was a bona fide support-type Talent Ability.

Okay, indirect methods of attack were still possible, such as when Zhang Yanhang chose an option where a monster would enter a state of death for some inexplicable reason. This would count as an indirect method of attack.

Although Zhang Yanhang had yet to try this kind of indirect attack method, theoretically, it should not be too difficult to implement.

After all, "Multiple Choice" had also been promoted to the Second Tier, so perhaps using it to kill monsters of the same tier might be relatively difficult, but using it to attempt to kill First Tier monsters, especially Zero Star Ordinary zombies, should not be an issue.
