Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands
Chapter 24 I Just Said I Am the King of Europe

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 I Just Said I Am the King of Europe

Xiao Jinsheng was pleasantly surprised to discover that when upgrading her spiritual power, the terminal would also send her gifts.

She quickly clicked to claim the Star Map mail, and sure enough, a small wooden box filled with items appeared before her.

This time, however, there were three boxes.

Two of the boxes contained gifts for her spiritual power upgrade, while the third box contained a crucial item for the Two-Star and Three-Star tasks triggered by her upgrade.

The Two-Star permanent item: Star Stone Detector.

It can detect star stones within a twenty-meter radius centered around her.

This tool is also a vital item for Task Takers searching for star stones in Mist West.

The Three-Star permanent item: Fog Dispersing Lamp.

It can dispel fog in a ten-meter radius while moving, centered around her.

This tool is mainly intended to help Task Takers navigate in Mist West but cannot disperse toxic fog, making it another essential item.

This helps avoid situations where fog obstructs vision, and a Fog Corpse is practically breathing in their face before they even notice it.

Of course, most Fog Dispersing Lamps are used by females on their missions.

Some Beast Husbands, due to the enhancement of their superpowers, experience less severe visual obstructions in Mist West.

Take Que Zelian, for example—thanks to the enhancement of his cloud-based superpower, he can see up to a hundred meters in Mist West.

Xiao Jinsheng, feeling like she was unboxing surprises, set aside the two tools and turned her attention to the gifts sent by the terminal for her upgrade.

Opening the two boxes, she found soft films that could be squeezed and kneaded like pliable material.

Palm-sized, with a screen resembling a smartphone, they could be flipped up and down to reveal some icons.

"What is this?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously.

Fortunately, this time, the terminal came with a detailed explanation.

When a female’s spiritual power is upgraded, the terminal would deliver equipment contained within such soft films.

They are divided into five major categories: speed, defense, weaponry, strength, and space.

The equipment ranges from 1 Star to 12 Stars.

With the equipment soft films, females can choose one major category to unbox.

If they pick weapons, they will successfully obtain a weapon. However, the weapon’s Star Level and type depend entirely on their luck.

"Great, so I can play blind box draws too," Xiao Jinsheng sighed in amazement.

She only had two soft films, so she could only pick two of the five categories to unbox.

Xiao Jinsheng started agonizing over which two categories she should pick.

After all, she had never interacted with the equipment in Mist Continent before.

"Any suggestions?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, looking at Que Zelian.

"Which one do you want?" Que Zelian replied.

"I want one from each category," Xiao Jinsheng sighed.

Hearing this, Que Zelian chuckled, "Then you’ll need to absorb more star stones to upgrade your Star Level. Once your spiritual power reaches Five Stars, you can collect all five types of equipment."

"Ahem, I’ll work hard on it," Xiao Jinsheng said, the scenes from last night flashing through her mind again.

Fearing Que Zelian might notice something unusual, she quickly changed the topic, "Speed can help me escape faster, defense makes me tougher, strength enhances my combat ability, I need a weapon, and of course, I prefer space."

Because the Star Level is random, if one has bad luck, the obtained space might not be very large.

But even a one-square-meter personal space was something she had always dreamed of having while reading novels.

Besides, Xiao Jinsheng knew that currently, no one in Mist Continent possessed a space-related superpower.

"Then choose weapons and space," Que Zelian suggested.

He explained, "Speed, defense, and strength all augment your existing abilities by a percentage or a fixed amount. You can wait until you’re stronger to enhance those aspects further. Absorbing star stones naturally improves your physique, and combined with training, the effects double."

"Even the smallest space, with one square meter, allows you to store life-saving items and conveniently carry your essential supplies."

"Weapons, regardless of the type, are custom-designed by the terminal for females, ensuring you can use them no matter what you draw."

"Alright, I’ll go with those two then," Xiao Jinsheng decided excitedly.

She wiped her hands on Que Zelian’s abdomen, drawing a confused look from him. "Aren’t you going to open the blind boxes? Or do you want to revisit last night’s matters?"

At the same time, his thoughts grew more perplexed.

Could it be that Xiao Jinsheng felt two Star Level boxes weren’t enough and, noticing her spiritual power stuck at the 4-Star threshold, wanted to push through it now...?

"It’s broad daylight," Que Zelian reminded her with a playful laugh.

"I’m just wiping my hands on your clothes to open the blind boxes. What kind of expression is that?" Xiao Jinsheng rolled her eyes at him, exasperated.

Her mind was entirely focused on opening the blind boxes, so she didn’t notice Que Zelian’s strange reaction.

She chose space for the first category. As the soft film transformed into a bright light and disappeared, a vast space appeared in her spiritual sea.

"How’d it go?" Que Zelian asked with curiosity.

"Take a guess," Xiao Jinsheng teased.

Seeing her struggling to suppress her grin, Que Zelian smiled and took a guess based on her high spiritual power: "6-Star space?"

"12 Stars," Xiao Jinsheng stated with a smug curve of her lips.

With that, she raised her hand slightly, admiring her nails. "Ah, so this is the life of a lucky queen."

The terminal’s spaces ranged from 1 Star to 12 Stars, with each Star Level having a respective maximum area limit.

At the highest 12 Stars, Xiao Jinsheng was directly granted a massive space encompassing four connected mountainous areas with rivers and lakes.

The only downside was that the mountains were barren—no trees, no grass.

To make things more surreal, the mountains were distributed in spring, summer, autumn, and winter colors, each in a different direction.

One of the mountains was entirely covered in snow.

At the very center of the space lay a Crescent Moon Lake.

The plains between the Crescent Moon Lake and the four mountains were similarly barren. Not a blade of grass grew—not even a pebble could be found.

"It’s so empty," Xiao Jinsheng muttered to herself, deep in thought.

But she quickly consoled her inner lucky queen.

Having such a large personal space was already incredible. If resources were scarce, she could find them herself and plant vegetation in the space.

Thinking about being able to grow her own plants, Xiao Jinsheng eagerly accessed the terminal’s description of the space.

When she saw that planting crops in the space wasn’t as simple as controlling them with her thoughts but required her to dig each hole with a hoe, her mood plummeted instantly.

Fortunately, she noticed the next detail.

As the space’s owner, she could freely enter and exit it. Likewise, any Beast Husband she was married to via a terminal or linked through a Contractual Totem could access the space with her permission.

Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes brightened as she looked at Que Zelian. "Do you enjoy gardening?"

Que Zelian: ...

He suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

"Mo Jiao—he really likes gardening," Que Zelian quickly deflected.

"Oh~ Got it." Xiao Jinsheng flashed him a mysterious smile.

She didn’t say anything further, but her mind already had a plan.

After all, every Star Map Task had a seven-day cooldown period once completed.

With seven days of free time, those men who were always clamoring for a divorce were clearly not busy enough.

Following her logic, she would send them all into the space to plant trees on her mountains.

However, the specifics of the plan still required careful thought.

Putting aside the planting matter, Xiao Jinsheng went on to open her second blind box.

This time, she chose weapons.

As the soft film transformed into light and disappeared, a small silver handgun appeared in Xiao Jinsheng’s hand.

Her first instinct was to pull up the attached instructions from the terminal.

"A 10-Star weapon!" she exclaimed, turning around to grab Que Zelian’s hand and shaking it excitedly. "Que Zelian, I told you I’m a lucky queen!"
