Chapter 25: Chapter 25 What is Humility?

The weapons available from the terminal range from 1 Star to 12 Stars as well.

However, it doesn't mean the higher the Star Level, the better the item.

There are 12 Star useless pieces of equipment, and there are also 1 Star durable Divine Artifacts.

Whether the equipment is good or bad depends on how the owner uses it.

At least, Xiao Jinsheng was quite satisfied with this 10 Star silver pistol.

This was an energy pistol, with ammunition filled using a Crystal Core or Star Stone.

Using Star Stones as ammunition naturally made it more powerful than using Crystal Cores.

At the same time, the pistol functioned differently from conventional firearms.

Since she now existed in the Mist Continent, an entirely different world, Xiao Jinsheng didn't dwell on such minor details. Instead, she took out a Star Stone, loaded it into the pistol, and began her research.

To use the pistol, you just need to pull the trigger to fire the ammunition.

If your trigger finger is fast enough, you can even fire dozens of Energy Bullets in a single second.

The power of the pistol depends on how long you hold the trigger before releasing it.

Quickly pulling and releasing the trigger counts as a light attack, resulting in weaker Energy Bullets.

If you hold the trigger down for a prolonged period, the pistol enters charge mode.

Charging has no time limit - once all the energy from the loaded Crystal Core or Star Stone is funneled into a single bullet, the wielder can then fire the charged shot.

One critical thing to note about charge mode is that its effectiveness depends on the wielder's familiarity with the weapon and their ability to gauge how the charging time affects the power of the Energy Bullet.

As long as the wielder masters charging, they can easily control the energy and power of every shot they fire.

The terminal not only provides a guide for weapon usage but also an explanation of the weapon's binding system.

The weapon is bound to its owner, meaning if it's ever taken, others can't use it.

Additionally, due to the binding, if the weapon's owner dies, the weapon will self- destruct automatically.

Xiao Jinsheng couldn't stop praising the intelligence and thoughtfulness of this binding system.

After all, she definitely did not want an enemy picking up her gun and being able to use it.

Overnight, her Spiritual Power Level had risen to 3 Stars, her physique had also improved.

She even gained a 12 Star Space and now possessed a weapon she couldn't be happier with.

At this moment, Xiao Jinsheng's courage soared.

She checked the time on her Star Map - 9:30 in the morning.

She also heard Huaiqing outside the room preparing breakfast.

Xiao Jinsheng picked up her pistol, ready to head out and test its power on a Fog Corpse.

When she reached the door, though, her courage wavered. She timidly retreated to the sofa and tugged on Que Zelian: "Come with me to find a Fog Corpse."

"I saw how eager you were - I thought you were planning to head out alone," Que Zelian chuckled softly.

Still, he put down his book and followed Xiao Jinsheng out the door.

"You..." Yu Yunxiao, emerging from the kitchen, ran into Xiao Jinsheng as she left the room.

He hadn't planned on greeting her.

But upon noticing Xiao Jinsheng's Spiritual Power Level, he froze. "Did your Spiritual Power level up?"

"You were just at 1 Star yesterday. How did you jump to 3 Stars overnight?"

"Because I'm smart and hardworking." Xiao Jinsheng proudly lifted her chin.

Humility?

Sorry, she didn't know the meaning of the word.

Especially after soaking in Yu Yunxiao's shocked reaction, her mood

skyrocketed.

She raised a hand and beckoned, "Little kitty, follow me. Big Sis will show you

how to kill a Fog Corpse."

"Big Sis, my foot." Yu Yunxiao was exasperated. "I'm two months older than you."

Wait, Xiao Jinsheng wanted to kill a Fog Corpse?

Now, this was something new.

After all, the memory of her bawling her eyes out while being chased by a crippled Fog Corpse not too long ago was still fresh in his mind.

That she was fearless enough to face a Fog Corpse within one night — could it

be her newfound 3 Star Spiritual Power giving her this boldness?

Other than Que Zelian, the four men who hadn't grasped the situation yet were

also curious.

So, they trailed behind Xiao Jinsheng.

Xiao Jinsheng turned on her Fog Dispersing Lamp, hanging it on her little

backpack. She was too pumped to even eat breakfast and charged out with her

weapon.

For sure, with the Fog Dispersing Lamp's help, visibility in Mist West was

noticeably extended.

At least, she spotted a Fog Corpse ten meters away ramming into a tree with just

one glance.

Before, she probably would need to walk right up to such a Fog Corpse to even

notice it.

The effective range of Xiao Jinsheng's pistol was about thirty meters.

Hitting a Fog Corpse from ten meters away would obviously be no problem.

Coupled with the weapon's simplicity, she raised her pistol and aimed at the Fog

Corpse's swaying head.

As for shooting experience, Xiao Jinsheng did have some.

Naturally, she was referring to amusement arcade games where you shoot

balloons and win plushies.

Taking a deep breath, calming her racing heart, Xiao Jinsheng felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. It wasn't false - this was her first time killing an actual monster like a Fog Corpse in real life.

She aimed at the Fog Corpse's head and held the trigger down for a long time.

The four men who didn't understand how the pistol worked looked at her

doubtfully.

"If you're scared and can't pull the trigger, just go back," Mo Jiao grumbled impatiently. "I must have been out of my mind to believe you'd dare kill a Fog

Corpse."

He had assumed Xiao Jinsheng had grown tougher in the outside world.

Who would've thought this girl would just aim forever without daring to shoot?

Losing interest, Mo Jiao turned and headed back indoors.

His long legs had barely touched the steps when the sharp sound of a shot

splitting the air rang out behind him.

A twenty-second charged Energy Bullet hit its mark squarely on the Fog Corpse's head, blasting it into pieces.

The explosion even snapped the tree the Fog Corpse had been smashing into, sending it crashing to the ground.

Mo Jiao froze in astonishment at the sight in front of him.

With her sharp eyes, Xiao Jinsheng noticed a Star Stone lying beside the Fog

Corpse's shattered head.

Overjoyed, she clutched her weapon and ran toward it. "Yes! Yes! Yes! I got my

own Star Stone!"

"Wait, even zombies that weren't chasing me drop Star Stones?" Xiao Jinsheng wondered if her luck was truly off the charts.

Ecstatic, she dashed up to the corpse

"Wow, that's gruesome." Mo Jiao had caught up nearby.

Looking at the headless Fog Corpse and the pool of brain matter

splattered across the ground, he sighed and shook his head. Then, with a mocking smile directed at Xiao Jinsheng, he said, "You're brutal." The

Steadying herself against the tree, Xiao Jinsheng swallowed her aversion to the

graphic scene and glared at Mo Jiao.

Mo Jiao continued his provocation: "What's this, you've got the guts to kill but not

to pick the loot? That's a Star Stone, you know."

"Who said I wouldn't pick it up?" Xiao Jinsheng huffed, snapping two sticks off a bush and using them to gingerly lift the gore-coated Star Stone.

Catching Mo Jiao off guard, she flicked the Star Stone, along with bits of flesh,

straight into his chest.

"Oh my god!" Xiao Jinsheng gasped,

covering her mouth, failing to hide rous Sgrin

as

her mischievous innocently gazed at Mo Jiao's now-livid expression. "I...I guess I'm

"I'm sorry, Killer Mo, I was just too frightened to hold it steady."

"Xiao Jinsheng, you're unbelievable!" Mo Jiao gritted his teeth at the unwelcome blood and guts now staining his clothes.

"Unbelievable' is Su Ye's catchphrase. Don't steal his lines," Xiao Jinsheng

teased with wide eyes.

Feigning meekness, she picked up the Star Stone with the sticks once more and carefully avoided another accident.

Mo Jiao, now on high alert, kept an intense watch on her actions. Wary of her pulling the same stunt again, he quickly turned and walked away, not

giving Xiao Jinsheng another chance to mess with him.

But moments later, they bumped into each other at the water faucet.
