Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Fusion Card: Smiling Mountain of Corpses_1 Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Fusion Card: Smiling Mountain of Corpses_1 “And they left something for me?”
It was only when Colin read this line that he suddenly noticed two cards placed at one spot on the desk.
He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, reaching out to pick up the two cards and bring them in front of his eyes.
The design was very similar to “Time Stasis”…
While Colin was staring at them, related information appeared on his retina.
[Name: Fusion Card: Smiling Mountain of Corpses]
[Quality: Excellent.]
[Status: Almost Perfect (94% Integrity)]
[Energy Level: D-.]
[Description: A special card made with the “Human Patchwork Monster” as the main material. When there are twelve corpses within a thirty-meter radius of the user (standard weight of a 1.78-meter tall adult male), they can activate this card to summon the “Smiling Mountain of Corpses” to serve them. It can exist for up to three hours and has a six-hour cooldown period after each use.]
[“Smiling Mountain of Corpses”: It possesses skills such as “Soul Scream,” “Flesh Fusion,” “Flesh Hardening,” “Shadow Evasion”… The more organic biomass it devours, the stronger the force it can unleash.]
[Note: A cute and lovable black glutinous rice dumpling…]
[Upgrade Conditions: Catch more “Human Patchwork Monsters” and provide a certain number of points.]
“‘Human Patchwork Monster’?”
Colin was initially stunned by the name, but then quickly remembered that it was the fellow from the “World Code-13” who lured people to kill in the Other World.
He hadn’t expected
that the corpses of this guy’s clones were turned into card-type tools by Bonfire Company.
Looking at the card’s front, it depicted a black spherical shape with a huge mouth, sharp teeth, and two thick arms, as well as a multitude of twisted faces that seemed to be smiling.
“It kind of looks like Little Fist Stone…”
Colin provided a fair, accurate, and incisive evaluation.
Below the image, he also saw a line of text—Ho ho, you’re quite good at hiding corpses, aren’t you? Today you’re definitely getting eaten!
On the back, similar to a Yu-Gi-Oh! card, was a black vortex with no other content.
It just seemed much newer than “Time Stasis” and the effect seemed pretty good…
It’s just this usage condition.
To summon “Smiling Mountain of Corpses,” you need twelve corpses; the requirement doesn’t specify they have to be human, so pigs or dogs would do too.
Even if you could substitute with pig corpses, it doesn’t seem very convenient…
“Twelve people of standard weight, wouldn’t that be close to a ton?”
“My personal storage space is only one hundred liters; it can’t fit that much at all.”
“Do I have to specifically drive a truck each time I handle an anomaly, one filled with seven or eight pig corpses?”
Colin shook his head and sighed, feeling it was quite impractical.
But speaking of which, aside from this limitation, he realized that the cost of using this item was practically nothing.
There was no need to bear any mental effects, nor any other kind of strange price.
The only troublesome part is that you need to have twelve corpses around you when using it…
“But come to think of it, the price of summoning artifacts seems quite small, ‘Slave to Money’ is the same, it only takes a hundred dollars to summon one…”
Colin pocketed the item, then glanced at the second card.
[“Aroma of Firebearer”]
[Type: Consumable.]
[Creator “Bunny”: When used in the sunlight, you will be able to initially gain some power of a “Firebearer”, it allows you to completely harness the essence of Beast Transformation Syndrome, stabilizing your human traits to better deal with “Passionate Paradise”.]
[If you have the chance, you can try to deeply merge with this power and become a true “Firebearer”.]
[Each “Firebearer” is strong, possessing the most balanced and comprehensive abilities at their Energy Level, able to adjust their direction at any time, whether it is management, manufacturing, or combat, they can quickly adapt, and it’s currently the most suitable trait for human beings,]
[But whether you can become a “Firebearer” in the end still depends on if the power acknowledges you, and the way to gain that acknowledgment is by helping others and doing what you think is right.]
“A consumable that gains the power mentioned above by being exposed to the sun, a ‘Firebearer’ huh?”
Colin felt a faint warmth from the card, which seemed somewhat familiar, and quickly drew the revolver from the “Storage Room”.
This power…
It was a bit similar to the heat that the revolver radiated in Dark City out of nowhere.
So this artifact came from a former colleague, does that mean he was a “Firebearer” back then?
“‘When The Night comes, there should be one to light the bonfire and illuminate all directions, this was on the badge then, it’s the path of a Firebearer too? So I have to gain the power’s acknowledgment through helping others?”
Colin was no longer the newbie he was over ten days ago, so he quickly had some speculation on this matter.
Feeling that the essence of Beast Transformation Syndrome within him was clearly suppressed while holding the card, he realized it was a good thing.
Although Colin felt that, given his personality, the likelihood of being acknowledged to become a “Firebearer” was not high, it was key for now to use it to cope with “Passionate Paradise” more than becoming one.
Without giving it much thought, Colin pocketed the card, took a final glance at Lady Bunny’s A4 paper message, didn’t discern anything more, and tucked it away.
Afterward, he returned to reality once again.
At this moment, the clock on the wall showed it was just shy of three in the morning.
“There’s still plenty of time…”
Colin pondered the information he had just obtained from Lady Bunny and decided to take out the parchment and search in the “Interaction Hall” for some details related to “Passionate Paradise”.
According to her, many old lechers, no, old employees liked this storyline, so there should be plenty of information available.
He decided to start by looking for the relationship between the “Script Book”, “Decree Book”, “Book of Fate” and “Passionate Paradise”.
However, after about ten minutes, although he didn’t find much about “Passionate Paradise”, this led him to notice something else.
“There seems to be a knowledge gap at the Bonfire Company employee level? It’s not just that the lower level employees don’t know about the affairs of the C Level employees, but now employees don’t know about past employees’ matters…”
Colin had this feeling before, but it wasn’t until now that it became clear.
As for the specific reason, he guessed there were several possibilities, one being that they were all newcomers and the veterans had all been promoted, or perhaps were eliminated, another possibility is that it’s related to the company being invaded repeatedly.
But as for the specific reasons, Colin didn’t know enough, he could at most just brainstorm and speculate.
