Chapter 16

The big mole’s fart was really smelly. The fart lasted for a long time in the underground cave. The people present couldn’t help vomiting. The mole just smiled and ran to a corner, continuing to dig holes.

It no longer cared about the remaining five players and it was impossible for them to provoke such a monster.

Lin Qiao walked to the bones that remained of the little girl and sighed. She took off her coat jacket and covered the pool of blood with it. Li Bin also walked over to the cook’s body, moving it to a corner and covering the face with his jacket.

From the young girl’s sudden action, to the death of the cook and the big mole eating the little girl.

It took only five minutes.

The black tower had notified them of the completion of the second task but no new branch task emerged. They had only one main task and that was to live. A person could live without water for seven days. They could hold on for 30 days without food. Tang Mo felt that with his current physical condition, he could survive with no water for at least a month, as long as the big mole didn’t interfere. He was just afraid that the survival task of the black tower wouldn’t end.

Tang Mo asked tentatively, “Uncle Mole, how can we get out of here?”

The big mole uttered a strange laugh. “You want to leave? How can you leave the mentally handicapped mode? The only thing you have to do is live. Do you still want to go out?”

The group was very dissatisfied with the mole’s words but didn’t dare refute them.

In the dark cave, the harsh sound of the giant mole’s digging was heard.

Li Bin grabbed the flashlight that the little girl had made with her ability. He looked at the flashlight with an odd expression and muttered, “I’m a bit cautious of it…”

Tang Mo looked at him. “Do you want it? Can I have a look?” He was very interested in something that was transformed with pure ability.

Li Bin didn’t even think about it. He hurriedly placed the flashlight in Tang Mo’s hands. “Take it. I don’t want this thing.”

The flashlight was tucked into Tang Mo’s hands. Tang Mo barely opened his mouth to speak when he suddenly looked up and a strange colour flashed through his eyes.

Luo Fengcheng said, “I also want to see it.” He reached out while speaking.

Tang Mo saw it but unexpectedly didn’t hand the flashlight over. Luo Fengcheng was making a surprised expression when a cheerful and bright song rang out. The child’s singing stopped all five humans and the big mole.

“How can this be?”

After the singing, a familiar voice was heard in everyone’s ears.

“Ding dong! China District 1’s stowaway, Fu Wenduo has successfully cleared the first floor of the black tower!”

The big mole’s head jerked as it said again, “How can this be?”

Tang Mo tightly gripped the flashlight in his hand. After the announcement of the black tower, Tang Mo felt himself becoming a bit blurred. In his field of view, the big mole was holding its head in amazement and gradually fading away. Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng, Li Bin, Li Wen and Lin Qiao as the figures of the four people slowly faded.

His vision turned completely black and then Tang Mo opened his eyes again. Bright suns.h.i.+ne stabbed him in the eyes. Tang Mo acted like a drowning man as his mouth opened to breathe in fresh air and he tried to adapt to the strong light. Once Tang Mo clearly saw the scene before him, his eyes changed and he moved the steering wheel. The car swerved and his whole body was jostled around the car.

The car slid over 20 metres before Tang Mo managed to stop it by the roadside.

His heart was still pounding from everything he just experienced in the underground cave. He quickly calmed down and found that he was in the same car. It was the car Tang Mo had been driving in with Li Wen before the tower attack game. Now he was back…

“What about Li Wen?”

Tang Mo drove back and didn’t find Li Wen.

There was no way to find him. Therefore, Tang Mo parked on the side of the road and looked down at the small flashlight.

This flashlight was given to Tang Mo by Li Bin. The owner of the flashlight, the little girl had died in front of their eyes. Therefore, Li Bin couldn’t wait to give it to Tang Mo. He never imagined that when Tang Mo received the flashlight, he would also receive an ability.

Tang Mo raised a hand, pulled the book out of thin air and turned to the third page.

[Ability: Draw a circle to curse you.]

[Owner: Li Bin (Official Player)]

[Type: Special Type]

[Function: A causality attack will affect a specific object, making them unlucky.]

[Level: 1]

[Restrictions: Only one target can be cursed per day. There is no control over the negative effects of the target being cursed.]

[Note: Tang Mo didn’t even give money for a flashlight. Simply shameful!]

Tang Mo, “…”

His fingers tightened on the pages before he took two deep breaths. Then Tang Mo continued to read.

[Tang Mo version usage instructions: Use only once a day. There is a 30% chance of activating. It is considered unlucky to choke when drinking water or eating. This spicy chicken’s ability matches Tang Mo.]

…If this wasn’t his own ability, Tang Mo would’ve really destroyed this book!

Tang Mo could make some guesses. If he wanted to obtain another person’s ability, the first way was to directly kill them e.g. Qian Sankun. Then he would receive the ability. The second way was to make the ‘not giving money for something’ gesture to each other. For example, Li Bin gave the flashlight to Tang Mo and Tang Mo didn’t give him money. This could be the ‘not giving money for something’ gesture.

But receiving the flashlight and not paying anything for it. Was it really this simple to get someone’s ability?

Tang Mo thought about it and felt that things weren’t that simple. There might be other restrictions. He was ready to close the book when a line of brightly coloured words appeared. He read it.

[Note: Draw a circle to curse you (User: Li Bin) has worked.]

“It worked? When did it work? Who did it work for?”

The line was extremely light in colour and didn’t have the cheap words of his book. Tang Mo looked for a long time and couldn’t find any clues. Then he suddenly inserted his hand in his pocket and pulled out something sleek and hard. He took it out to see.

“The turkey egg?”

The big mole had given him a turkey egg the size of an adult male’s fist. Tang Mo put it in his pocket after receiving it and hadn’t thought it would be brought out of the game.

This was a very ordinary white egg. Apart from its size, it looked the same as any other egg. The big mole said that humans couldn’t hatch a turkey and gave it to Tang Mo to eat. But Tang Mo tried knocking the turkey egg against the car’s steering wheel.

Boom!

There was a dull sound and Tang Mo stared intently.

“……”

The egg wasn’t smashed. Rather, there was a small crack on the steering wheel!

Could he eat this? It would require special copper teeth to eat it!

Tang Mo didn’t know it but something was happening in the Mole Cave of the black tower’s underground city.

The big mole was clutching its head and whispering, “How could someone clear the first floor now?” It repeated this for a long time before comforting itself, “Well, I wasn’t the one attacked.” The big mole relaxed after saying this. It made a sinister smile and started digging at the ground.

“It was really profitable that I could eat such a delicious turkey today. That human didn’t know how precious Mosaic’s Match is. When those humans come again and bring me another match…” The big mole dug a huge pit and exposed thousands of white eggs. It had taken an ordinary white egg from here and given it to Tang Mo. The big mole smiled proudly and continued digging deeper among the white eggs. It talked to itself, “My baby’s egg isn’t for you. I have to take it from the cage and hold it to sleep every night. I gave that fool…you…ahhhhh!!! Where is my egg?”

There was a small iron cage among the white eggs and it was empty.

Black Tower, Turkey Nest.

A giant turkey, as big as a tiger, lay bleeding on the ground. Its sharp claws were stained with human blood but it was unable to stand. As long as it received another blow, it would surely die.

Fortunately, the man who hit it didn’t have the strength to stand up again.

The turkey gritted its teeth. “Cluck…stowaway…cluck, eat you…”

A man in black had his leg pulled off by the turkey and blood was flowing down. His left arm was filled with b.l.o.o.d.y holes from the turkey’s pecks and his right arm had no hand. From the wrist part of his right hand, there was a huge iron cone, glowing with a purple metallic l.u.s.ter.

The man coughed up the blood and waved his right arm. The iron cone disappeared and his right hand reappeared. He used both hands to climb into the turkey’s nest. He reached around for a while before finding the white egg hidden in the centre that was the turkey’s treasure.

The turkey roared, “Put my egg down!”

“You avoided this egg when we were fighting.” The man replied while wiping the blood from his lips. He calmly came to a conclusion. “It is a treasure.”

The turkey’s wings flapped furiously but it didn’t have the strength to stand up. For the first time, it regretted seeing the stowaway and being moved by the desire to eat him. If it hadn’t wanted to eat this stowaway and hidden in the back for a sneak attack, both of them wouldn’t have fought and it wouldn’t be like this. Who knew that a stowaway could be so strong and that he would clear the black tower’s first floor?

Clearing the first floor didn’t matter. The important thing was the turkey’s egg! It was the most precious egg!!!

“Return it to me!!”

The turkey that exhausted all its strength unexpectedly stood up, stumbling over to the human. It was just about to reach the human and grab the egg when the black tower announced the clearance of the game. The man’s figure suddenly disappeared and the turkey fell to the ground.

“Cluck cluck…my egg…cluck…egg…”

All Chinese players left the black tower at the same time.

Fu Wenduo escaped from the turkey’s nest, while his torn off leg was left behind in the nest. After leaving the black tower, he lay in a deserted construction site where no one was present. There as a sound from his torn right leg and he took a closer look. Flesh was actually growing from his leg.

The speed was slow but the torn off parts were really growing back.

There were a few situations like this. Throughout China, all players were pulled into the black tower and attacked the tower. There were players who didn’t have any violent clashes, such as the case of Tang Mo with the mole due to Mosaic’s match. However, this number was very low. There were many more like Fu Wenduo who directly fought with the creatures of the black tower.

Some people died on the first floor of the tower, some survied.

Most people escaped with treasures. Despite being injured, they were too happy to cling to the result of their hards.h.i.+ps.

As the muscles on his right leg grew back, Fu Wenduo opened his eyes and took out the white egg from his pocket.

He watched it as the sun set. The sun shone on the turkey egg and a golden light suddenly appeared. Then small words appeared on the white eggsh.e.l.l.

At the same time, Tang Mo was carefully studying the hard and strange turkey egg. He knocked it against several objects and even smashed it against his book.

Tang Mo couldn’t figure it out and had no more time to waste. He temporarily abandoned studying the egg and drive himself to Shanghai’s Jing’an District. He put the egg in the car. A beam of sunlight shone through the window and illuminated the egg, revealing golden words.

Tang Mo immediately stopped the car and observed the changes in the egg.

Tang Mo, “???”

What was this thing?

Tang Mo knocked on the egg a few times. He was. .h.i.tting it for a third time when a low male voice was heard from the egg.

“…Momo?”

Tang Mo was astonished.

The egg was a creature and was so smart. It knew that he was called Tang Mo?

But it seemed a little too intimate to directly call him Momo…

Tang Mo thought for a moment before softly replying, “Yes.” He wondered, “Are you a turkey or an egg?”

The sound from the egg abruptly stopped.

The next moment, a stern voice was heard, “Who are you?”

The author has something to say:

Momo: Aren’t I the B point in your heart?

Fu Wenduo: ….

Tang Mo: …

Turkey: QAQ cluck cluck cluck!
