Chapter 59: Unique Trait

Tina, squatting in front of Nan Xiaoniao with a smile, began to gesture to her. Since Nan Xiaoniao was temporarily deaf, she couldn't hear what Tina was saying. Tina's gestures were effective, however, as Nan Xiaoniao obediently handed over her small bag to Tina, who couldn't resist giving Nan Xiaoniao a kiss, causing her cheeks to flush red.

Tina took the bag and opened it to find only a bamboo comb inside, shaped exactly like a sliced bamboo shoot.

The group nodded silently; it seemed they had found the second sacrificial item.

Placing the comb on the altar, KP Cao announced with a smile, "OK, you've found the second sacrificial item, so you get an extra thirty minutes in the Mirror World. You now have an hour to find the third item – grapes. Keep up the good work. Considering you've already crippled the Formless Offspring, finding the grapes should be easy."

"Easy, my foot," Tina retorted. "The Formless Offspring might be slow now, but its other attributes and skills are still intact. As long as it guards the grapevine corridor, we can't bypass it to get the grapes."

Liu Xing nodded in agreement, adding, "Tina's right. The Formless Offspring's attack range is too broad, probably over ten meters. Given that the path to the grapevine corridor is only seven or eight meters wide, attempting to rush in will inevitably trigger a battle with the Formless Offspring!"

Hearing Akira Akashi's explanation, Liu Xing couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed. During the past few days of rest, he had only casually read a few pages of the rulebook, thinking he had understood enough, and hadn't looked at it since. So, when facing the Formless Offspring, Liu Xing could only remember some expected values of the Formless Offspring's attributes, but had totally forgotten its skills.

Thus, Liu Xing felt his preparation for the game was rather perfunctory. If he encountered a mythical creature he was unfamiliar with and knew nothing about, he would be perilously close to death.

So, Liu Xing decided that after this promotion game, he needed to return to the real world and thoroughly memorize the rulebook, especially deepening his understanding and knowledge of these mythical creatures.

"In that case, our only option seems to be luring the Formless Offspring away from the grape corridor, so we can have a chance to search for the grapes," Tina said somewhat dejectedly. "But, considering the Formless Offspring's speed, we don't need to worry too much about being caught. However, it seems we can only use Nan Xiaoniao as bait to distract the Formless Offspring."

"No, I won't allow you to do that," Akira Akashi sighed helplessly. The "I" she referred to was her character card. "My character card acquired a trait in the first two Cthulhu RPG Games due to certain events. The trait is 'protecting children', so I can't just watch you put Nan Xiaoniao in danger, unless you can convince me otherwise."

Traits, similar to titles, are acquired by players after a Cthulhu RPG Game if they trigger certain specific plotlines.

Unlike titles, traits impose certain restrictions on the player's character card. For instance, Akira Akashi's trait of 'protecting children' prevents her from acting in a way that harms children and from ignoring others who might harm children.
