Chapter 459: The Escape
In the final second, Rita used I Just Want to Improve So Badly three times in a row.
A secret echoed in her mind.
Her health dropped to only 3%.
The five seconds had ended!
But that wasn’t enough! She had only succeeded twice—how could that be enough?!
Nivalis had once remarked that once Rita threw caution to the wind, she would become greedier than even the Dragon race.
—Using Ultimate Version of Mysterious Power!
Rita’s health instantly plummeted to 1%, and her health bar locked in place!
With the addition of the Ultimate version, the duration of the skill remained at 24 hours, and every time a new target attacked her, her health would decrease by 0.2%, unchanged. What changed was the line that stated, "Health cannot be restored during the lock state!"
This meant that as long as no more than five players attacked her at once, her chances of dying on the spot were practically zero.
Because even if the three Y-series robots attacked her, as long as she didn’t die instantly, if she restored her health back to 1%, any attacks afterward would be ineffective.
At that moment, she had already dived close to the last Y-type robot.
—Using Ultimate Version of Refurbish!
At that moment, the parts, modules, and components of the robot Y128 gleamed in Rita’s eyes.
She had her sights set on this robot not just because it was at the back of the convoy but because its ID number was the shortest!
Rita reached out toward those modules, directly starting to Refurbish it! She added a precious ore here, a diamond there.
She had discovered this skill’s new use back when she kidnapped Rick—it could disassemble enemy equipment and directly Refurbish it.
As long as there was no soul-binding, she could turn it into a new item, and a new item would no longer belong to the original owner. All ownership would transfer to the player using Refurbish—Rita!
Ah, you say this is yours?
It’s not the same anymore. It’s a completely different item, what proof do you have that it’s yours?
No, it’s changed. Now, it’s mine.
She had been eager to use this in combat ever since she figured out its potential to strip enemies of their armor.
Skills continued to slam into her, but no matter how the three Y-type robots attacked Rita, they couldn’t kill her. Her health only dropped to 0.4%, freezing for a brief moment before she used a healing skill to pull it back up to 1%.
Afterward, all attacks hitting Rita failed to deal damage.
Rita was pleasantly surprised to find that Mysterious Power did not interfere with the counterattack effect of Absurd Story.
So, while she kept Refurbishing, taking hits, and rebounding damage, she watched as the battery levels of the three robots steadily drained.
Although a lot was happening, less than 10 seconds had passed since B80234615 disabled the star net.
Many players had just noticed that a fight was happening, and the robots maintaining security in the market were on their way. The first few robots were already switching into combat mode.
Refurbish took time to fuse; the rarer and more incompatible items required a longer fusion time. Read exclusive chapters at NovelBin.Côm
However, Rita was using the Ultimate version of the skill, which not only allowed her to fuse things that couldn’t normally be combined but also shortened the fusion time!
Soon, behind her, two combat-mode mechs raised their guns and aimed at Rita.
As the Y-type robots realized they couldn’t defeat her, they stopped and began to change tactics to capture Rita alive.
Several skill nets were deployed, and Rita decided it was time to leave. But just then, she noticed that the antenna on Y128’s head, which she had fitted with a precious ore in the center, had successfully been Refurbished!
Rita acted decisively and used One-Person Party.
"I hereby announce that the mechanical race and I cannot be restricted by any blocking or binding skills on players who have no game qualifications!"
All mechanical race robots, regardless of their state, had a timer appear above their heads: 10:00.
Rita also had a countdown above her own head.
This was a rule she had to obey, and it would definitely take effect for 10 minutes!
The skill net that had been connected a second ago completely unraveled, and Rita yanked the antenna connected to the donut-shaped ore from Y128’s head!
Then, she began to use Phantom Shift to escape.
At this moment, she couldn’t afford to suicide out.
Because under the influence of Mysterious Power, even if she hit herself, she could only take one hit…
She had really become a "devilish" version of the group-buying style…
When Rita’s health was at 100%, others could only hit her for 30%, and now, getting down to 1%, every hit only dealt 0.2%, and each character could only land one hit.
In the previous tense situation, with attacks so dense, she couldn’t risk controlling her health down to 0.2%—that could easily end in failure.
Rita had not been to many places in the market, and after using Phantom Shift only twice, she was now flying through the market with her wings, trying to escape.
The best-case scenario now was that while the mechanical race was chasing her, she could extend the attack range, control her frequency of being hit, and at 0.2% health, use suicide.
The plan sounded good, but executing it was much harder.
Not to mention that the market was this big, and mechanical race robots were everywhere—at least a dozen of them had switched to combat mode and were already chasing her.
She didn’t even hear the skill sounds—her health had already dropped to 0.4%.
Rita couldn’t take a chance in this situation. She immediately used a healing skill to bring her health back up to 1%.
Besides that, there were the players who were just watching the drama unfold.
They couldn’t attack due to the rules, but violating the market’s rules would result in worse punishment than violating their own game rules. However, they could still try to block her path just to make things difficult.
Rita saw one such player—a high-level alien race blocking her way. His combat level was pretty high, maybe level 14?
With a cold laugh, Rita raised her hand and slapped the player across the face.
The sound of the slap was crisp and loud, knocking the player’s head to one side.
Idiot, you can’t hit me, but I can hit you!
After the slap, she kept running.
She was looking for the well that had appeared in the market earlier.
Even if it turned out to be a furnace or some other place, it was still better than staying in the market.
Rita flew toward a corner of the market, and whenever a player deliberately blocked her path, she raised her hand and slapped them.
She had never felt this good before. The feeling of being at 1% health and slapping anyone she encountered—such a rush!
It was the kind of feeling that made her want to live on the edge.
The players who were slapped wanted to fight back, but Rita had a whole team following her…
When the number of mechanical race robots chasing her had grown to over thirty, Rita finally spotted a well.
She charged toward it, but once inside, she didn’t just let herself fall down. Instead, she used her wings to slowly descend, glancing up at the well opening from time to time.
After falling about three meters, she picked a diamond off the wall and stored it. Then, using Animagus, she turned into a small spider and crawled into the little space left behind by the diamond.
She activated her divine skill, Survive Until the End.
Transforming into a diamond, she took the place of the one that had been there before.
