Chapter Nineteen: Are You Ready to Embrace the Fate of Being Parasitized?

It was originally just a test, but unexpectedly, Little Top truly lived up to his straightforward persona and sent over his coordinates.

Little Top: “Are you far from me? It’s very safe here. If you come over, we can cooperate.”

It was indeed quite far.

Jiang Ran tried using her teleportation device card, inputting the name and coordinates, and the teleport button lit up.

The device card was usable, which proved the coordinates were genuine.

She replied with satisfaction, “Too far. There are fire ants outside; it’s impossible to get through. What a pity. If you dug up boxes and I had supplies and weapons, we’d be invincible.”

“Oh, by the way, that item you have that blocks one fatal attack—does it also block damage from skills or the like?”

Little Top, acting as if willingly sharing everything: “It’s not that exaggerated. It only blocks external injuries, but that’s already pretty good. At least it’s like having an extra life and some additional protection.”

The Black Stockings Lady: “Name your price. You don’t have much supplies left now, right?”

Little Top: “Supplies can be traded for more, but I can’t sell you these two items.”

Black Stockings Lady: “Then what’s the point of coming to me and saying all this? Showing off, huh?”

Little Top: “Can’t I? You were showing off your supplies to me back then, weren’t you? It’s just that no matter how many supplies you have, they’re useless. A useless person like you probably won’t even be able to keep them later.”

“Why don’t you just give me all your supplies? I still have a bunch of item cards, and my loot luck is off the charts. I’ll definitely live longer than you.”

Black Stockings Lady: “Get lost! A loser who can’t even open supply boxes, go clutch your item cards and die! I want to see how long you last without food or water!”

Little Top: “No need for a loser like you to worry. I’m not afraid to tell you, as long as I have these item cards, I’ll never lack supplies. Everyone sees the situation clearer than you and knows how useful powerful items or skills are.”

“Unlike a loser like you, hogging a beta tester spot but only waiting to eat and die. And you still dream of using your little supplies to gather forces? Have you seen any beta tester jump like you? Everyone curses you in their hearts, and you’re still smug about your little food stash!”

Jiang Ran: ...

How was that any different from having “Come parasite me quickly” written all over his face?

Her earlier judgment was indeed correct—Little Top most likely had some trump card against “parasitism.”

He might not have been this desperate before, but after the volcanic eruption, his supplies were likely long gone, just waiting for the Black Stockings Lady to make a move so he could counterattack.

That was why he actively approached her, each word deliberately provoking her, afraid she wouldn’t use parasitism on him.

The only question was what that trump card really was... Could it be the “danger prediction” he mentioned before?

No, probably not.

Jiang Ran thought that this so-called “danger prediction” and “substitute” were likely just bait to lure the Black Stockings Lady into attacking him.

Even if he actually had those two items, so what? With “teleport” in her hands, would he really escape?

It was just like having one more bullet.

Sometimes Jiang Ran thought Little Top’s luck might genuinely be bad—what he said was pretty accurate, but the timing was too early.

Right now, faced with an unknown disaster, everyone was worried about their own survival. Their priority was merely to live through this stage, so their demand for items was indeed lower than for supplies.

There were beta testers before who, like the Black Stockings Lady, tried to rely on selling supplies to increase their life value.

But not everyone had the guts to invest all their assets into a mysterious game. Even Xu Yunxuan in his previous life hesitated for a while before confirming the game’s extraordinary nature through subtle discoveries.

Therefore, except for a few who seriously stocked supplies, most only spent a little money symbolically, treating it purely as a game. Some even ignored the message completely.

When the game’s progress exceeded everyone’s expectations, these beta testers didn’t dare sell too many supplies anymore, since they needed to reserve them to ensure their survival.

Jiang Ran could afford to spend so much because she ensured she had enough high-level substitutes first, allowing her to be so “wealthy.”

But once this stage was overcome and everyone had some accumulation, players like Little Top would indeed become very popular while also greatly feared.

Many thoughts crossed Jiang Ran’s mind, but she went along with Little Top’s provocation and scolded angrily: “Zhou Yu! Don’t think you’re impressive just because you have some items! Don’t forget, I also have a parasitism item card, the very one you sold me.”

“Hahaha, keep showing off. Once I use this item on you, everything you have will be mine! You want to jump again?!”

Little Top seemed a bit flustered and quickly replied, “Don’t think I don’t know the conditions for using ‘parasitism.’ Would you waste so much life value on me? I’m telling you, I have nothing but item cards. Using ‘parasitism’ on me will only make you lose everything!”

Black Stockings Lady: “Hahaha, scared now, idiot! I don’t have much life, but I’m happy to use it on you! You’re so great at loot luck, right? I’ll make you dig boxes for me seven days straight! I’ll sell anything I find in the diamond boxes—afraid I won’t break even?”

“Thanks for reminding me, or I’d almost forgotten I could use parasitism on you! Hahaha, don’t worry. Since we’re such good friends, after I squeeze out your value, I’ll help you find peace!”

Little Top looked at the Black Stockings Lady’s reply, his lips cracked in countless places, curling slightly. The wounds that had just healed instantly burst open again, but he seemed oblivious.

The excitement of having such a big catch on the hook and the joy of a last-minute escape intertwined, leaving him no time to care about anything else.

Originally, Little Top had thought Lin Yang’s tone had become strange after logging off once, but no one expected the game to have such an overpowered skill as “annihilation,” used with such precision on Lin Yang.

On the other hand, that slight sense of incongruity vanished when he saw the Black Stockings Lady call out his name so accurately.

Finishing his last sip of electrolyte water, Little Top grinned and replied, “Impossible! You can’t do this! Ah Yang, for the sake of our friendship, I can give you the item cards I got earlier! Please spare me!”

Black Stockings Lady: “Do I need you to give me anything? After parasitism, everything you have belongs to me! Hahaha, blame yourself for being stupid! Zhou Yu, you should feel lucky to be my dog.”

“Ready to accept your parasitized fate? Hahaha...”
