Bai Lixin felt a thunderbolt strike him.
He turned his head to look at Dijia beside him, “What exactly is this fruit?”
A smile flashed in Dijia’s eyes, and the hand that was about to attack the fruit stroked the chubby little head encouragingly and patiently explained, “This is karma.”
Bai Lixin coughed violently.
Karma? It led to marriage?
What kind of magical properties did this fruit have? Not only could it be used as a human meal replacement, but it could also be used as a matchmaker?
The cost effectiveness was quite high.
Sensing Bai Lixin’s misunderstanding, Dijia explained, after a pause, “The karmic fruit of the karma cycle, not *Yue Lao the marriage fruit.”
Bai Lixin smiled awkwardly.
Dijia continued, “Do you know why the receptionist didn’t take away the fruits? Because these fruits are the way for ghosts to enter the underworld. If you pick a karmic fruit, you are tied to that fruit. While waiting for the gate to open, the ghost needs to patiently care for the karmic fruit. The area they travel to after entering the ghost world has much to do with these karmic fruits.”
“Only with the approval of the karmic fruits can one enter the underworld.”
Bai Lixin, “How can you tell that you have received the approval of the karmic fruit?”
Dijia, “The fruits will slowly grow torsos and limbs, and they will act as guides, guiding the undead to the underworld.”
Bai Lixin looked at the karmic fruit that only had a small head, “What about the ones in the kitchen? They are also karmic fruits, but how come they are served on the table?”
Dijia, “That’s why they are called karmic fruits. Not all karmic fruits are lucky enough to grow limbs, and even if they do, it doesn’t mean they can enter the underworld. There are far more karmic trees and karmic fruits than there are undead. In fact, it’s a concomitant relationship.”
Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds. “I think I understand. The karmic fruit can only mature through the care of the ghosts, while the ghosts also need the guidance of the karmic fruit to enter the underworld.”
Some players dreamt of chopping wood yesterday.
So what they were chopping might have been the karmic fruit that failed after growing halfway.
Bai Lixin took another look at the chubby head on the corner of the table. It was so lifelike that it looked like a real person.
“Are these karmic fruits really not human? How can they look so much like humans?” Bai Lixin finally asked the question inside him.
He had read fairy tales before, and in the story of a monkey, a monk, a horse, a pig, and a fish breaking through the heavens, there was a description of ginseng fruits.
The ginseng fruit on the ginseng tree chattered like a child, but that ginseng fruit had a fruit texture, and it was possible to distinguish between the real and the imaginary.
But the head in front of him was a real human head.
Dijia patted the head of the karmic fruit, “Actually, I still don’t quite understand the composition of karmic fruits, but they are not really human. I think they are more like a ball of ghost qi, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
Bai Lixin sighed in relief. “How can I take care of it? I’m not really a ghost.”
Dijia laughed, and his eyes fell on Bai Lixin’s chest. His voice suddenly became ambiguous and low, “Didn’t it say that it is hungry?”
Bai Lixin: “……”
Go to hell!
A low chuckle escaped Dijia’s lips, and he put his index finger to the head’s mouth.
The little head sniffed hard and immediately opened its mouth, absorbing the ghost qi from Dijia’s finger in big gulps.
When he had had enough, the little head looked at Dijia and Bai Lixin gratefully, “Thank you, mommy and daddy.”
Then, without waiting for Bai Lixin and Dijia’s response, it nimbly jumped off the desk.
The head bounced and it landed on the carpet with a soft “thud”, like a ball hitting the carpet. It then bounced back to the sofa, nestled back into its soft cushion, and closed its eyes to sleep.
Bai Lixin suddenly thought of the female ghost that had appeared two days in a row.
Wasn’t it accompanied by an eerie scraping sound and the sound of a bouncing ball?
And weren’t there two unlucky players who had been captured by the female ghost?
The number of surviving players in the task bar was still 20. Although he didn’t know if those two players had suffered any damage, at least they were still alive.
Speaking of the female ghost, Bai Lixin raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, “Dijia.”
Dijia, “What is it?”
Bai Lixin looked Dijia up and down and sneered, “Are you really the child of that female ghost?”
The growth of the facial features follows logic, the little boy in the pocket watch was quite cute, and Dijia looked completely different.
Dijia froze and said, in a very natural tone, “No, I didn’t say I was.”
Bai Lixin patiently said, “Then can you explain the origin of the “Brother Jia” stalk?”
Dijia’s eyes twinkled. “I was just saying that the mother ghost wouldn’t hurt her child. You’re the one who was overthinking things.”
Bai Lixin, “……”
His fists hardened.
Suddenly, Dijia leaned down, his black eyes gazing into Bai Lixin’s as he said word for word, “Speaking of which, I would like to ask, what is that strange crystal ball of yours?”
“It can actually control me.” Dijia frowned, “Only for a short time though. Take it out and I see.”
Bai Lixin froze for a moment.
In other words, the moment the crystal ball lit up and Dijia replied, “What should Lin Jue do?”, he was being controlled. Perhaps Dijia’s power was too strong, and he quickly broke free later.
But Dijia thought that he had deliberately activated the crystal ball, so he pretended to be controlled.
Bai Lixin took out the crystal ball from his backpack, and the deep blue sea inside immediately caught Dijia’s eye.
“Actually, I don’t know exactly what this thing is. I accidentally activated it at that time.”
He brought the crystal ball to Dijia, “Do you know about this thing?”
He asked, but he didn’t hold out much hope. The crystal ball had appeared in another copy, and this soul fragment only had memories of this copy.
One was the deep sea, and the other was the world of the undead.
How could this Dijia possibly know what it was?
Dijia took the crystal ball, and the deep, mysterious blue of the sea was immediately reflected in his black eyes.
Just when Bai Lixin was losing hope, he heard Dijia murmur, “Lost beauty.”
Bai Lixin didn’t catch it, “What?”
Dijia blinked, and gently tapped on the crystal ball with his right index finger.
The crystal ball was immediately tinted with bright light.
Bai Lixin’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he frowned at Dijia in front of him.
Could it be that he didn’t obtain this crystal ball by chance? Rather, was it something that Dijia had deliberately left for him?
Did Dijia deduce the places he would appear and his actions, then deliberately disguise something as a crystal ball in order to conceal it from the system and give it to him?
And then left the message with this soul fragment?
“What did you say it was called?” Bai Lixin asked a somewhat bewildered Dijia as he looked at the brilliantly bright blue mass.
Dijia, “It is called Lost Beauty.”
Bai Lixin, “How did you know what it was called?”
Dijia stepped away from Bai Lixin’s back and leaned against the desk with the crystal ball. His expression was also a little puzzled as he spoke, “I don’t know, the name appeared in my mind the moment I saw this crystal ball.”
He took his eyes off the crystal ball and looked into Bai Lixin’s eyes, “Why is that?”
Bai Lixin, “……”
If you ask me, then who should I ask?
Or should I spell it out and you ask the person in question.
“You activated it,” Bai Lixin digressed, “How did you do that? Any idea what it’s capable of?”
Dijia looked at the crystal ball in his hand thoughtfully. He held it in one hand and placed the other on top of it in a grasping motion.
Bai Lixin watched his movements intently, and a grainy thread flowed out of the crystal ball and moved into Dijia’s hand.
A moment later, the particles converged and turned into a dagger with a cold glint.
Bai Lixin was stunned.
This was the dagger he used to attack the evil spirit in the Trial copy.
But the system had clearly told him that even if he had obtained the dagger, and if the dagger belonged to him, it would disappear once the copy was cleared.
Not only did this dagger disappear as soon as he left the copy, but also the golden scythe from the [Blood clan] copy and the Trident from the [Deep Sea Mermaid] copy.
This made him think that all those weapons were one time consumables.
But now, Dijia had taken the dagger out of the crystal ball.
Lost Beauty.
Was it possible to obtain those attack type props that had disappeared?
Dijia’s fingers twirled nimbly, and the dagger that had frightened the evil spirit was now obediently moving back and forth between the long, slender fingers.
“A good dagger.” Dijia sighed, and with a flick of his fingers, the handle of the dagger faced outwards and Dijia gave it to Bai Lixin.
“Do you recognize it?”
Bai Lixin nodded, “I’ve used it before.”
“Take it, there seems to be something else in the Lost Beauty.”
Bai Lixin took the dagger cooperatively and saw Dijia once again draw something out of the void.
This time, he pulled out a golden scythe.
He put the scythe up on the edge of the desk. He did not slow down his movements, and with another grasp, he took out a trident this time.
All three weapons that Bai Lixin had once used appeared in front of him.
Dijia lifted the crystal ball and placed it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
After a few moments, he sighed, “There seems to be something else inside, some broken pieces, but I can’t get them out.”
Bai Lixin looked at the weapons in front of him and fell into silence.
This crystal ball is so cooperative with you, why don’t I just give it to you?
Dijia finished observing it and grabbed the trident near him and played with it.
“The operation is simple; put a little of your power into it and it will be activated.” He wasn’t so concerned as to why he knew how to activate the crystal ball. He was more concerned with how to help Bai Lixin operate it.
Bai Lixin had suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was as if it was his mission to protect him.
It was no coincidence that he was able to open something that belonged to Bai Lixin with ease.
Dijia silently watched the young man before him.
It had only been two days since he had met him, yet it felt like he had known him for a lifetime. It was as if he had been wandering here for years, just waiting for the young man to arrive.
From the moment the young man entered his eyes, his empty soul began to be slowly filled.
He was a wandering soul before; he was invincible, but he roamed aimlessly.
But he couldn’t even remember how many times he had smiled today.
He had smiled more in one day than he had in all the years he could remember combined.
Bai Lixin did not know, and he himself would not let him know.
Because there was another voice deep in his heart, other than the one saying he should protect the young man.
That voice told him that he would not be able to accompany the young man for very long.
He was only a brief passerby during the other’s long journey of clearing copies.
If it was only a few days’ contact, why should he make the young man terrified and uncomfortable?
But even so, he still felt reluctant in his heart.
Dijia looked at the young man stoically, and the black mist under his eyes began to swirl.
Bai Lixin was studying the crystal ball with his head down, but he still noticed Dijia’s agitated mood.
He looked up, but Dijia only had a cold expression, and he could not see anything.
Bai Lixin was a little worried, and he took the other man’s cold hand in his and said soothingly, “Don’t worry, we’ll leave here together.”
It’s us.
Not me.
Not you either.
It’s together.
Bai Lixin’s initiative to hold hands and the word “we” instantly pleased Dijia.
Bai Lixin lowered his head and, following Dijia’s instructions, poured a surge of power into the crystal ball.
In the next second, the crystal ball lit up again and a system beep rang out in his head.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player, the “Lost Beauty” has been successfully activated. This item can store God-level props that the player cannot take out of copies. In addition, the player can also obtain precious props and prop cards using the Lost Beauty.]
Bai Lixin: [ …. ]
This thing was too powerful.
[Instructions: 1. God level props that cannot be taken out of the copy are kept in the Lost Beauty until the player summons them. Once removed, the player can place the item in the system backpack or put it back into the Lost Beauty again.]
[2. There are several conditions when using Lost Beauty to acquire expendable prop cards. First, the player must have used the prop card before; second, the player should be able to construct the prop card in their mind, this includes appearance, details, abilities and so on. The more accurate and detailed the build, the higher the chances of obtaining it.]
[ Friendly reminder: 1. There is no time limit when using cards got from the Lost Beauty.
2. There is a 3 day cool down after each use and a chance of failure the next time the prop card is used. The higher the level of the prop, the higher the chance of failure.
3. Upgrading of props is possible. After full level is reached, the player can build his own imaginary props or skills.]
S419M was shocked: [Lord host, who says that you are the god of bad luck. How are you unlucky? You were saving up all your lucky points and spewing them out all at once, ah.]
[Xia Chi is a loser compared to you.]
However, Bai Lixin pursed his lips and did not look happy.
He silently put the three artifacts away and said solemnly: [Have you forgotten Dijia’s ability as a Lord God?]
S419M replied almost immediately: [Of course I remember. He brings order and is the manager of billions of realms. He is able to follow the power of rules and construct anything in the world…]
S419M’s voice came to an abrupt halt.
Bai Lixin: [What did you think about? Why don’t you say it?]
S419M was silent for a long time before it continued to speak, only that its tone had gone from the excitement of a moment ago: […he can construct everything that conforms to the rules….]
Bai Lixin: [Following logic and constructing things, isn’t that a lot like this crystal ball’s ability?]
He sighed softly: [It’s not that my luck had changed for the better, but that Dijia had taken the ability he was most proud of and transferred it to me. What makes me strong comes from the confidence my lover has in me.]
S419M was silent.
The air was somewhat stagnant.
Bai Lixin and Dijia were both lost in their own thoughts.
Time passed, and when it was almost midnight, a small knock sounded on the door outside.
“Good day, guest, the Pearl Jade White Jade soup we have prepared for you has arrived.”
Bai Lixin instantly retracted from his thoughts: “……”
Okay? Are we eating eyeballs?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Bai Lixin felt a thunderbolt strike him.
He turned his head to look at Dijia beside him, “What exactly is this fruit?”
A smile flashed in Dijia’s eyes, and the hand that was about to attack the fruit stroked the chubby little head encouragingly and patiently explained, “This is karma.”

Bai Lixin finally asked the question inside him.He had read fairy tales before, and in the story of a monkey, a monk, a horse, a pig, and a fish breaking through the heavens, there was a description of ginseng fruits.The ginseng fruit on the ginseng tree chattered like a child, but that ginseng fruit had a fruit texture, and it was possible to distinguish between the real and the imaginary.But the head in front of him was a real human head.Dijia patted the head of the karmic fruit, Actually, I still don't quite understand the composition of karmic fruits, but they are not really human. I think they are more like a ball of ghost qi, so you don't need to worry about that.Bai Lixin sighed in relief. How can I take care of it? I'm not really a ghost.Dijia laughed, and his eyes fell on Bai Lixin's chest. His voice suddenly became ambiguous and low, Didn't it say that it is hungry?Bai Lixin: Go to hell!A low chuckle escaped Dijia's lips, and he put his index finger to the head's mouth.The little head sniffed hard and immediately opened its mouth, absorbing the ghost qi from Dijia's finger in big gulps.When he had had enough, the little head looked at Dijia and Bai Lixin gratefully, Thank you, mommy and daddy.Then, without waiting for Bai Lixin and Dijia's response, it nimbly jumped off the desk.The head bounced and it landed on the carpet with a soft thud, like a ball hitting the carpet. It then bounced back to the sofa, nestled back into its soft cushion, and closed its eyes to sleep.Bai Lixin suddenly thought of the female ghost that had appeared two days in a row.Wasn't it accompanied by an eerie scraping sound and the sound of a bouncing ball?And weren't there two unlucky players who had been captured by the female ghost?The number of surviving players in the task bar was still 20. Although he didn't know if those two players had suffered any damage, at least they were still alive.Speaking of the female ghost, Bai Lixin raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, Dijia.Dijia, What is it?Bai Lixin looked Dijia up and down and sneered, Are you really the child of that female ghost?The growth of the facial features follows logic, the little boy in the pocket watch was quite cute, and Dijia looked completely different.Dijia froze and said, in a very natural tone, No, I didn't say I was.Bai Lixin patiently said, Then can you explain the origin of the Brother Jia stalk?Dijia's eyes twinkled. I was just saying that the mother ghost wouldn't hurt her child. You're the one who was overthinking things.Bai Lixin, His fists hardened.Suddenly, Dijia leaned down, his black eyes gazing into Bai Lixin's as he said word for word, Speaking of which, I would like to ask, what is that strange crystal ball of yours?It can actually control me. Dijia frowned, Only for a short time though. Take it out and I see.Bai Lixin froze for a moment.In other words, the moment the crystal ball lit up and Dijia replied, What should Lin Jue do?, he was being controlled. Perhaps Dijia's power was too strong, and he quickly broke free later.But Dijia thought that he had deliberately activated the crystal ball, so he pretended to be controlled.Bai Lixin took out the crystal ball from his backpack, and the deep blue sea inside immediately caught Dijia's eye.Actually, I don't know exactly what this thing is. I accidentally activated it at that time.He brought the crystal ball to Dijia, Do you know about this thing?He asked, but he didn't hold out much hope. The crystal ball had appeared in another copy, and this soul fragment only had memories of this copy.One was the deep sea, and the other was the world of the undead.How could this Dijia possibly know what it was?Dijia took the crystal ball, and the deep, mysterious blue of the sea was immediately reflected in his black eyes.Just when Bai Lixin was losing hope, he heard Dijia murmur, Lost beauty.Bai Lixin didn't catch it, What?Dijia blinked, and gently tapped on the crystal ball with his right index finger.The crystal ball was immediately tinted with bright light.Bai Lixin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he frowned at Dijia in front of him.Could it be that he didn't obtain this crystal ball by chance? Rather, was it something that Dijia had deliberately left for him?Did Dijia deduce the places he would appear and his actions, then deliberately disguise something as a crystal ball in order to conceal it from the system and give it to him?And then left the message with this soul fragment?What did you say it was called? Bai Lixin asked a somewhat bewildered Dijia as he looked at the brilliantly bright blue mass.Dijia, It is called Lost Beauty.Bai Lixin, How did you know what it was called?Dijia stepped away from Bai Lixin's back and leaned against the desk with the crystal ball. His expression was also a little puzzled as he spoke, I don't know, the name appeared in my mind the moment I saw this crystal ball.He took his eyes off the crystal ball and looked into Bai Lixin's eyes, Why is that?Bai Lixin, If you ask me, then who should I ask?Or should I spell it out and you ask the person in question.You activated it, Bai Lixin digressed, How did you do that? Any idea what it's capable of?Dijia looked at the crystal ball in his hand thoughtfully. He held it in one hand and placed the other on top of it in a grasping motion.Bai Lixin watched his movements intently, and a grainy thread flowed out of the crystal ball and moved into Dijia's hand.A moment later, the particles converged and turned into a dagger with a cold glint.Bai Lixin was stunned.This was the dagger he used to attack the evil spirit in the Trial copy.But the system had clearly told him that even if he had obtained the dagger, and if the dagger belonged to him, it would disappear once the copy was cleared.Not only did this dagger disappear as soon as he left the copy, but also the golden scythe from the Blood clan copy and the Trident from the Deep Sea Mermaid copy.This made him think that all those weapons were one time consumables.But now, Dijia had taken the dagger out of the crystal ball.Lost Beauty.Was it possible to obtain those attack type props that had disappeared?Dijia's fingers twirled nimbly, and the dagger that had frightened the evil spirit was now obediently moving back and forth between the long, slender fingers.A good dagger. Dijia sighed, and with a flick of his fingers, the handle of the dagger faced outwards and Dijia gave it to Bai Lixin.Do you recognize it?Bai Lixin nodded, I've used it before.Take it, there seems to be something else in the Lost Beauty.Bai Lixin took the dagger cooperatively and saw Dijia once again draw something out of the void.This time, he pulled out a golden scythe.He put the scythe up on the edge of the desk. He did not slow down his movements, and with another grasp, he took out a trident this time.All three weapons that Bai Lixin had once used appeared in front of him.Dijia lifted the crystal ball and placed it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.After a few moments, he sighed, There seems to be something else inside, some broken pieces, but I can't get them out.Bai Lixin looked at the weapons in front of him and fell into silence.This crystal ball is so cooperative with you, why don't I just give it to you?Dijia finished observing it and grabbed the trident near him and played with it.The operation is simple; put a little of your power into it and it will be activated. He wasn't so concerned as to why he knew how to activate the crystal ball. He was more concerned with how to help Bai Lixin operate it.Bai Lixin had suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was as if it was his mission to protect him.It was no coincidence that he was able to open something that belonged to Bai Lixin with ease.Dijia silently watched the young man before him.It had only been two days since he had met him, yet it felt like he had known him for a lifetime. It was as if he had been wandering here for years, just waiting for the young man to arrive.From the moment the young man entered his eyes, his empty soul began to be slowly filled.He was a wandering soul before; he was invincible, but he roamed aimlessly.But he couldn't even remember how many times he had smiled today.He had smiled more in one day than he had in all the years he could remember combined.Bai Lixin did not know, and he himself would not let him know.Because there was another voice deep in his heart, other than the one saying he should protect the young man.That voice told him that he would not be able to accompany the young man for very long.He was only a brief passerby during the other's long journey of clearing copies.If it was only a few days' contact, why should he make the young man terrified and uncomfortable?But even so, he still felt reluctant in his heart.Dijia looked at the young man stoically, and the black mist under his eyes began to swirl.Bai Lixin was studying the crystal ball with his head down, but he still noticed Dijia's agitated mood.He looked up, but Dijia only had a cold expression, and he could not see anything.Bai Lixin was a little worried, and he took the other man's cold hand in his and said soothingly, Don't worry, we'll leave here together.It's us.Not me.Not you either.It's together.Bai Lixin's initiative to hold hands and the word we instantly pleased Dijia.Bai Lixin lowered his head and, following Dijia's instructions, poured a surge of power into the crystal ball.In the next second, the crystal ball lit up again and a system beep rang out in his head.Ding! Congratulations to the player, the Lost Beauty has been successfully activated. This item can store God-level props that the player cannot take out of copies. In addition, the player can also obtain precious props and prop cards using the Lost Beauty.Bai Lixin: . This thing was too powerful.Instructions: 1. God level props that cannot be taken out of the copy are kept in the Lost Beauty until the player summons them. Once removed, the player can place the item in the system backpack or put it back into the Lost Beauty again.2. There are several conditions when using Lost Beauty to acquire expendable prop cards. First, the player must have used the prop card before; second, the player should be able to construct the prop card in their mind, this includes appearance, details, abilities and so on. The more accurate and detailed the build, the higher the chances of obtaining it. Friendly reminder: 1. There is no time limit when using cards got from the Lost Beauty.2. There is a 3 day cool down after each use and a chance of failure the next time the prop card is used. The higher the level of the prop, the higher the chance of failure.3. Upgrading of props is possible. After full level is reached, the player can build his own imaginary props or skills.S419M was shocked: Lord host, who says that you are the god of bad luck. How are you unlucky? You were saving up all your lucky points and spewing them out all at once, ah.Xia Chi is a loser compared to you.However, Bai Lixin pursed his lips and did not look happy.He silently put the three artifacts away and said solemnly: Have you forgotten Dijia's ability as a Lord God?S419M replied almost immediately: Of course I remember. He brings order and is the manager of billions of realms. He is able to follow the power of rules and construct anything in the worldS419M's voice came to an abrupt halt.Bai Lixin: What did you think about? Why don't you say it?S419M was silent for a long time before it continued to speak, only that its tone had gone from the excitement of a moment ago: he can construct everything that conforms to the rules.Bai Lixin: Following logic and constructing things, isn't that a lot like this crystal ball's ability?He sighed softly: It's not that my luck had changed for the better, but that Dijia had taken the ability he was most proud of and transferred it to me. What makes me strong comes from the confidence my lover has in me.S419M was silent.The air was somewhat stagnant.Bai Lixin and Dijia were both lost in their own thoughts.Time passed, and when it was almost midnight, a small knock sounded on the door outside.Good day, guest, the Pearl Jade White Jade soup we have prepared for you has arrived.Bai Lixin instantly retracted from his thoughts: Okay? Are we eating eyeballs?
