Chen Che fidgeted nervously: "I’m still a bit worried... after all, I’m just an ordinary person..."
An Nishang propped her stunningly beautiful face with her hand. Her crimson pupils rolled upward as she contemplated for a moment, and then slowly took out a broken bowl, placing it in front of Chen Che.
The broken bowl emanated a peculiar aura, surprising Chen Che. As he snapped back to reality, he exclaimed, "Catastrophe Artifact?"
Catastrophe Artifacts, bizarre tools born in this world, each possessing unique abilities. Some rule-based artifacts can exhibit unimaginable powers when their rules are met.
An ordinary person holding a powerful Catastrophe Artifact can kill high-level Catastrophes.
Every Catastrophe Artifact is a treasure.
But it’s heard that different Catastrophe Artifacts also have different side effects, so they must be used with extreme caution.
This broken bowl in front of him was the first Catastrophe Artifact Chen Che had ever seen, which surprised him greatly.
An Nishang pushed the broken bowl towards Chen Che, casually saying, "This can save your life."
Xia Na saw the broken bowl, her lips curled uncontrollably into a smile, and she said teasingly, "If you’re so scared of dying, this bowl suits you well."
"What’s the use of this bowl?"
Upon hearing it could save lives, Chen Che’s interest was piqued, and he studied the broken bowl for half a day without discerning any use.
An Nishang glanced at Xia Na and said, "Nana, show us how to use this bowl."
Xia Na’s expression suddenly became wary, and she quickly shook her head, "I won’t do it, I won’t do it! Sis, find someone else!"
What? Could there be some terrifying side effect?
Chen Che’s eyes instantly became vigilant.
"It’s just a demonstration." Under An Nishang’s imposing gaze, Xia Na reluctantly glared at Chen Che, picked up the bowl, and said to him, "Close your eyes."
Curious, Chen Che closed his eyes until he heard Xia Na say again, "Alright, open them."
Chen Che opened his eyes again, puzzled as he discovered Xia Na was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey? Wasn’t there supposed to be a demonstration? Where’s the person? Nana, where are you?"
Looking around confusedly, Chen Che couldn’t find Xia Na.
An Nishang smiled with her ruby lips, "Nana hasn’t left the office; she’s in the corner, try looking."
Chen Che, making sure his eyes weren’t failing him, found the office quite small, yet he searched for a long time without spotting Xia Na.
He could still hear Xia Na yawning, "Seems like you really are blind."
"Damn, there’s no way! Can this bowl make someone invisible?"
"The left corner, use your hand to feel."
Chen Che felt around blindly like a clumsy fool until he felt something, and heard Xia Na’s annoyed shout: "Where do you think you’re touching?"
That’s when Chen Che saw Xia Na standing in the corner holding the bowl, looking bewildered at Xia Na: "Oh, turns out I wasn’t touching your back... never mind, it’s all the same. Wait, how are you here?"
Suppressing the urge to strangle Chen Che, Xia Na rolled her eyes, "I’ve been here all along; you simply didn’t notice."
"No way? I’m not blind."
"Because my presence was nullified."
Xia Na said while toying with the broken bowl in her hand.
"The reason behind this bowl?" Chen Che was amazed, then his eyes glinted with excitement, "Can this bowl make one invisible?"
"Not invisibility, it’s existence nullification."
Xia Na explained, "This bowl is called the beggar’s bowl of existence nullification. As long as you kneel on the ground and hold this bowl up like a beggar, you can trigger its rule, and your presence will be nullified to zero.
Even if others pass by you, they will pretend not to see, breaking the rule involves reaching out to touch, as long as you touch a physical entity, you can discover the user."
What a marvelous beggar’s bowl of existence nullification.
If a beggar next to him was holding up a bowl asking for money, he’d have to pretend not to see...
Chen Che’s eyes gleamed: "This is definitely a lifesaving tool!"
If chased, he could find a corner, hold up the bowl, and go invisible immediately. Isn’t this super cool?
Chen Che excitedly looked at An Nishang: "Nishang, this treasure is for me."
An Nishang crossed her long legs, calmly stating, "Consider it your reward for your performance this time."
Chen Che just wanted to hug An Nishang and give her a kiss.
This reward was simply fantastic.
This freebie is just too good.
"Don’t get cocky." Xia Na rolled her eyes, hesitated, holding up the bowl as she approached Chen Che, whispering, "Big brother, be kind, and give me something..."
"Uh, what did you say?" Xia Na’s voice was too soft, and her gesture too sudden, leaving Chen Che puzzled.
Xia Na gritted her teeth and repeated: "Big brother, be kind, and give me something!"
Chen Che looked at Xia Na bewildered: "Are you... having a brain issue?"
"You’re the one with brain issues, your whole family has brain issues! Hurry up!
Big brother, be kind, and give me something!"
Chen Che shrugged, touching himself, "What do you want?"
"Will you give me something or not?"
Whether on purpose or inadvertently, Chen Che kept avoiding giving Xia Na a direct answer.
Watching the two bicker, An Nishang’s lips curled slightly in amusement, appearing intrigued.
She picked up a pen and tossed it to Chen Che.
"Put it in the bowl, give it to Nana."
Chen Che took the pen in bewilderment, as Xia Na spoke again: "Big brother, be kind, and give me something."
Chen Che glanced at An Nishang, tentatively placing the pen in the bowl.
He only saw the solid pen emit a black smoke, then swiftly being corroded and disappearing in the bowl.
