Chapter 115: Reverse Curse!
There’s something wrong with this gemstone ring!
The moment Qingfeng Duwo put on the ring again, he felt like his bones were falling apart, and he couldn’t muster any strength in his body!
He suddenly felt himself engulfed in a wave of weakness and despair.
And when he tried to take off the ring, he couldn’t get it off no matter how hard he tried!
"Oh no, I can’t get this ring off. Please help me!"
Hearing this, everyone quickly tried to remove the ring with all their strength, but it seemed like the ring was stuck to his hand!
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t pull it off!
"What… what should we do?"
Qiufeng Duwo looked pained as he saw the information on the ring only when he put it on.
This ring was called the Greedy One.
There was an ancient curse on it!
It made people weak and powerless, permanently!
Qiufeng Duwo made a tough decision and cut off his own finger with a sword!
"Oh no, I refuse to believe I can’t pull it off!"
Plop!
"Ouch!"
As a finger fell to the ground, Qingfeng Duwo quickly drank a Healing Potion.
At the moment the finger landed, the ring slipped off.
But Qiufeng Duwo’s curse was still not lifted!
"Why, why is the curse still here?!"
Qingfeng Duwo was stunned, "Oh no, let’s divide the loot first, after that I might just commit suicide!"
Everyone agreed, after sharing the spoils, they all looked at the ring.
No one had the idea of picking up the ring.
This thing is simply a trap.
Seeing no one interested in the ring, Zhou Li bent down and picked it up, "You all don’t want it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Keep it, keep it."
"You like it, you can have it."
"If you like it, it’s yours."
Zhou Li took the ring, "Alright then, if you don’t want it, I’ll take it."
Although this ring has a curse on it, no one else knows.
He could sell it to someone and make some money!
Zhou Li was thinking this, but before he could act, these people posted a message online.
They described in detail about the cursed ring.
They also mentioned that even if you take off the ring, the curse still remains, and even if you commit suicide, the curse effect still exists!
Finally, you have to spend money to find someone from the Holy Sect School to help remove the curse.
After this, all players knew about this cursed ring.
What a difficult situation…
Zhou Li let out a sigh.
He turned directly to the Merchant Guild.
He came here for one reason – to buy materials.
The Merchant Guild specializes in collecting various materials. Players can sell their materials to them, but the prices they offer are not high.
However, if it’s rare materials or some materials that are in short supply, the purchase price will be a bit higher.
Besides buying back materials, they also handle sales.
Almost all the materials available in the game can be found at the Merchant Guild.
But they sell them at high prices.
Zhou Li’s earnings this time were almost all given to the Merchant Guild, only then he could afford a complete set of materials.
They even have dark stones that are only found in the Black Emperor’s territory, but because they are rare, they sell them at a particularly high price.
There was no other way, Zhou Li had to buy it with tears in his eyes.
He found a place with no one around, used stones to support a small crucible, and started making medicine with a fire.
"Hmm… I can’t quite understand the weight on this scale."
Some players made the simplest handheld scale, which is a stick with a small tray or hook hanging from it.
After tinkering for a while, Zhou Li still couldn’t figure it out, so he ended up searching online for tutorials.
This scale was made by a player, and that player naturally posted about it.
"I see now."
Because it was his first time making medicine, Zhou Li kept tinkering repeatedly several times.
It wasn’t until the sky darkened that he finally made a finished product.
After the potion cooled down, Zhou Li carefully poured the essence into a glass bottle.
"Here it is, the Magic Potion."
Zhou Li didn’t rush to drink it, as consuming this Magic Potion required a ritual.
It was a simple ritual, similar to the Listener Ceremony practiced by Summoners to harness magic.
Zhou Li used blue crystal powder to draw a circle, then marked a cross in the center.
Standing at the center of the cross, he drank the Magic Potion and closed his eyes.
"I swear to the void, to the ancient unknown beings, I am willing to hear the words of truth, to see all the ugliness and truth of the world."
"What I desire in my heart, what my soul reveres, please let me see, my true self!"
As he finished speaking, Zhou Li’s soul suddenly felt a sharp pain!
In front of Zhou Li was darkness, as if something was whispering…
Can’t hear clearly.
Can’t understand.
Can’t hear.
Zhou Li clenched his teeth, trying hard to listen to what those things were saying.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hear clearly.
Gradually, sweats gathered on Zhou Li’s forehead.
If he couldn’t hear any sound at all!
That meant his Magic Potion absorption had failed!
Time is running out!
Hurry, any voice will do!
Please!
"Plot twist…"
Zhou Li suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pupils instantly becoming bloodshot, veins popping on his face, his expression contorted to the extreme!
Then, blood started flowing from his seven orifices!
Two words!
He heard two words!
Even though he didn’t understand, he did hear them!
Bump!
Suddenly, Zhou Li fell to the ground, and on his forehead, two curved knives appeared upside down!
The pattern was pitch black, resembling a loop and a counterclockwise rotation!
Zhou Li held his head with both hands, trying to feel the changes in his body.
Soon, a piece of information emerged in his mind!
Reverse Curse!
Any curse effects on him will be reversed!
"Is this the curse that I have been longing for?"
Zhou Li felt the pain on his forehead gradually disappearing and directly wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve.
"If I can reverse the curse…"
Zhou Li took out the cursed ring and put it on his finger!
Plop!
Suddenly, spikes grew out of the ring and pricked Zhou Li’s skin.
But Zhou Li didn’t feel weak, instead, he felt more energized!
Not only mentally, but physically too, Zhou Li clenched his fist and felt a boost in his abilities!
This sensation was like having a buff that doubled all his attributes!
"This is too powerful!"
Zhou Li was shocked – with this power, could he deflect any curse onto himself?
Any chance the outcome will reverse?
Just a moment…
Doesn’t seem like it.
Zhou Li slapped his forehead. "Yeah, reversal doesn’t just turn bad into good, it can also turn good into bad…"
Let’s give a simple example.
If Zhou Li gets a curse that doubles his strength, reversing that would mean his strength decreasing by half, right?
Um…
