I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh40 - Do You Feel The Happiness Of Poverty? 

When he passed by the banquet hall, Xiao Lan’s eyes inadvertently caught on the flower vase placed in the center. Madam Bella had said that this vase had several hundred years of history, and was also made by a well-known artisan of the time.

In short, it was valuable, very valuable, extremely valuable. 0u3Y7C

Would it also have a bit of value in Madam Bella’s heart?

Xiao Lan paused, then decisively rushed towards the vase and stretched out his evil claws —

“Ai, hold on, Xiao Lan, don’t —” Wang Taidi’s voice rang out in the distance and was a little unclear amidst the scraping of the walls.

“Pa —” The crisp sound of something shattering rang out, and the highly valuable vase was already on the floor in pieces that could not be any more broken. yugSwK

Only then did Xiao Lan turn his head to look at the Wang brothers who had jumped down from above. “Taidi? What did you say just now?”

“That… flower… vase…” Only then did the rest of Wang Taidi words come out belatedly.

Wang Taidi looked like he saw a large sum of money grow wings and fly off in front of his face. He leaned against his elder brother and wailed, “The flower vase is so cute, why did you want to break it?! You heartless demolition machine!!”

Xiao Lan looked at the system notifications which popped up one after another with an extremely satisfied face. “Because fighting for the sake of poverty is life’s greatest joy.”

“Damaged a setting prop. Madam Bella is very angry, but she was already very angry in the first place anyway.”

“Poverty value increased by 24.8 million, do you feel the happiness of poverty?”

“Poverty value surpassed 50 million, the skill 【Poverty is unable to restrict my imagination】 upgraded to lvl 2.”

The vase’s worth far exceeded Xiao Lan’s imagination, and his skill upgrade was an unexpected delight. As for the happiness brought by poverty, it made him even more unwilling to stop. EAoZUW

Presently, Xiao Lan’s skill was as so:

【Name: Poverty is unable to restrict my imagination (Bound)】

【Ability: 1. Imagine an ability, and it will be bestowed upon you for five minutes. The poorer you are, the greater the ability (lvl 2) 2. The player’s physical qualities are boosted based on the degree of poverty. When attacking a target, it is possible to obtain items randomly (Passive)】

【Cooldown time: 24h】 Knj6GN

【Explanation: Even if I’m broke, I can still have a dream ah! This is a broke person’s ultimate obstinacy】

Xiao Lan focused on the sentence ‘When attacking a target, it is possible to obtain items randomly’. Did that mean that he also had a chance of becoming an in-app purchase player who could casually throw out items?!

Though he had no clue what the probability was, he immediately felt that the future was full of hope.

Wang Ke patted his silly brother on the shoulder and comforted him. “It’s probably related to Xiao Lan’s skill. He may be like you and have a skill related to money.” ZoJVUa

Xiao Lan looked at Wang Ke, smiling wordlessly.

As expected, advanced players were very astute; Wang Ke had been able to directly guess his skill type.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wang Taidi silently recalled his as well as Xiao Lan’s fighting strength. We’re both penniless, yet why is the disparity so great?

They were still a distance away from the basement marked on Edmund’s map.

Suddenly, they heard heavy footsteps gradually approaching their location. It was accompanied by the sound of bricks being smashed, as if someone was destroying the house as they pressed forward.

No one else except Madam Bella could make the entire floor shudder with her footsteps. C1R0P3

They were instantly on guard as they looked in the direction of the sound.

It was definitely Madam Bella who was coming, but something seemed a little different.

Xiao Lan sensed that her movements had changed. Previously, though Madam Bella had a large and sturdy figure, her bearing had still been imbued with an innate sense of elegance. Her movements now, however, had become much rougher, so much so that they didn’t quite seem to belong to a human.

The biggest difference was her eyes. What had been a pair of eyes with one belonging to Bella and the other Annie had now become blood-red, the malevolence in them making it difficult to discern the other party’s state of mind. IJmib3

Xiao Lan had a feeling that this ‘person’ in front of them may not be the Madam Bella they had seen in recent days.

A name instantly popped up in his head — Otey.

He was afraid that the consciousness controlling this body was the one who had led Bella astray, Otey.

Under Otey’s control, Madam Bella’s scarlet eyes locked onto the people in front of her. She said in a deep voice, “Want to run away, my little sweets?” 26vVqE

With that, she didn’t wait for the players to respond as she raised a leg and violently stomped on the ground.

A vicious shockwave surged towards the players. The ground was instantly crushed to pieces and the walls also shattered under this force.

Xiao Lan instantly exerted himself and retreated with all his might. At the same time, 【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】 appeared in his hand.

Luo’s demon-like figure followed Xiao Lan closely and didn’t fall a single step behind. mxEyYP

On the other side, Wang Ke simply picked up his brother and threw him over his shoulder as he pulled back swiftly and smoothly avoided this first attack.

The entire corridor had now become completely unrecognisable. Broken bricks and slivers of wood lay everywhere, and the unimaginably costly carpet had been ripped to shreds. Amidst the wreckage, it looked especially sad.

“Madam Bella doesn’t even think twice about tearing her home apart ah.” With practised ease, Wang Taidi found a safe corner to huddle in.

“The rich can really do whatever they want.” Xiao Lan roasted the bourgeoisie. DaHS6b

What a pity this wreckage couldn’t be turned into poverty value at all.

After Wang Ke tucked his brother away, the blood-coloured sword instantly appeared in his hand, and his first move was — to ruthlessly cut himself.

That gave Xiao Lan a huge shock: “!”

Wang Ke also knew that this action of his was a little horrifying, and so that this comrade wouldn’t misunderstand and think that he had some strange hobby, he found the time to say, “This is my skill, 【Bloodrage】. The heavier my injuries, the greater my offensive power. fTq0dy

“I’ve never cared if people know about my skill. In any case, injuries that don’t kill me will ultimately make me even stronger.”

This was simply a berserker’s skill, which perfectly matched Wang Ke’s style of using brute force to the end.

At the same time, Xiao Lan sighed ruefully in his heart. Why is your skill name so cool?

Wang Taidi probably had the same thought. fVixTL

After Wang Ke activated his skill, he no longer wasted time on words and leapt forward right away to swiftly approach Madam Bella.

Madam Bella also realised that the player in front of her wasn’t afraid of provoking her. Furious, she threw a punch which kicked up a strong wind that sent the dust on the floor flying everywhere.

Wang Ke quickly ducked Madam Bella’s fist, which smashed into the floor and created a large crater; it was obvious what would happen if it hit a person’s body.

Taking advantage of the split second when Madam Bella couldn’t turn in time after making a move, Wang Ke’s blade swept out. The cold blade glinted coldly as it flashed forward and a blood-coloured afterimage appeared on Madam Bella’s throat. kLpoTy

With one swing, Madam Bella’s neck was directly sliced open with a cut deep enough to behead her.

Black blood gushed out and Madam Bella’s movements paused for a moment.

Luo also darted over from the other side and pitch-black claws emerged from his fingertips.

He took advantage of the instant Madam Bella paused to get in close, and his sharp claws ruthlessly tore her chest open. His claws were razor-sharp and cut straight through flesh and bone until even the beating heart could be seen. BYSZA6

“AH —” A pained cry was ripped from Madam Bella’s torn throat.

However, in the next second, the gash on her throat began to heal at a visible rate, and the hideous injury on her chest also writhed as it healed. The bone, flesh, and skin closed up like water after its surface was cut apart.

In a short couple of breaths, they were close to being restored to their original state.

At the same time, Xiao Lan’s sharp blade also arrived behind Madam Bella. wIUQr7

【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】 plunged into the side of Madam Bella’s neck, and the gash that had been on the verge of healing was cut open once again. At the same time, the item’s effect was activated:

“【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】 deals Madam Bella damage, additional toxicity: Cai〇 insecticide.”

Xiao Lan was stupefied for a moment. Wasn’t this dagger’s clickbait a little too good?

Could insecticide be fucking considered poison? Did it have a wondrous effect on young moths?!! Madam Bella clearly wasn’t a young moth, and she didn’t seem to react to the poison at all. sCSFIK

Seeing that Madam Bella’s injury was on the verge of recovering again, Xiao Lan shook off his unnecessary thoughts and stabbed her a second time.

This cut ruthlessly ripped her throat open until she couldn’t even make a sound.

“【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】deals Madam Bella damage, additional toxicity: The sharp kiss of a venomous snake.”

Finally, a decent poison. NHp2xX

In an instant, Madam Bella’s movements turned sluggish and her breathing also became heavier, as if she was starting to feel dizzy. At the same time, her injury bled continuously and healed at a much slower rate.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan struck for the third time and tried to cut her head off.

But Madam Bella raised her arm and blocked the sharp blade. The dagger slashed brutally across her arm, leaving a bluish-black wound.

“【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】 deals Madam Bella damage, additional toxicity: Hydrofluoric acid.” oUryeB

Hydrofluoric acid, a liquid that was intensely corrosive and even more formidable than sulfuric acid.

The hydrofluoric acid seeped into Madam Bella’s wound and corroded it. It kept penetrating into the deeper layers, destroying tissue and dissolving cells. The bluish-black wound on Madam Bella’s arm continued to spread all the way to the bone.

Not long after that, she could no longer move her arm.

Seeing this, the players prepared to attack again. TulfGI

The severe pain caused Madam Bella to practically go crazy, and blood-red mist poured forth from her body.

Xiao Lan intuitively felt that something was amiss with this mist, and he quickly retreated.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Under everyone’s gazes, the blood-coloured mist turned into a phantom over Madam Bella’s body. A figure even larger than Madam Bella emerged and enveloped her like an outer shell.

This was Otey’s main body, right? DrQwSt

“You actually forced me to appear.” Otey looked at the players with scarlet eyes. “Truly a troublesome bunch of lucky ones.”

Shrouded in Otey’s energy, the wounds on Madam Bella healed rapidly and she very quickly returned to a completely uninjured state.

To ensure that the healing proceeded unhindered, the blood-coloured mist turned into floating swords which attacked the players.

As Wang Ke dodged them, he tch’ed. “No death conditions; this is such a pain.” CQk3cv

Xiao Lan also felt that it was tricky. A regular person would die on the spot after absorbing 1.5g of hydrofluoric acid. The dagger obviously contained more than that, yet could only damage one of Madam Bella’s arms.

What was even more troublesome was that she had in-built healing, which was even the sort that could completely restore her to her original state; this was simply a cheat.

Xiao Lan dodged a blood-coloured sword and asked his comrades, “How should we deal with something unscientific like this?!”

“A boy’s pee?” That was Wang Taidi’s voice. akUpdr

“How about you piss right now for me to see?!” What he got in reply was Wang Ke’s violent roar.

Wang Taidi said weakly, “It doesn’t have to be me ah; ge, you also can —”

“Shut your mouth!” Wang Ke interrupted before his little brother exposed his dark past. If Otey wasn’t in front of them right now, he would definitely drag Wang Taidi over and educate him lovingly.
