RPAGF Chapter 59 Are there really Gundam ghouls?!
Chapter 59 Are there really Gundam ghouls?!
As Bai Xi stood up, she quickly recalled the information she needed in her mind.
Ghouls have a chance to use spells, but their damage output is low, mainly because they can act three times per turn. However, the problem is that in Sunset City, the turn-based action mechanism has been removed.
Instead, agility determines speed; how fast you can hit depends entirely on the reaction and action speed that agility brings.
In other words, a single ghoul is pitifully weak.
Although Bai Xi is now completely paralyzed. Since his sword was confiscated, he can no longer activate the blade enchantment, leaving him only with hand-blade jumping slashes.
However, it's clear that ghouls are still at a disadvantage. It's foreseeable that ghouls will likely receive a terrifying buff.
Just like the ghoul that Bai Xi saw in the beginner module, who could use ancient martial arts and pilot a Gundam.
Right now, the other side is charging straight at us, probably preparing for a head-on brawl?
Bai Xi pondered for a moment, then made a decision.
Regardless, let's get the weapons back first. No matter how ridiculously enhanced that ghoul is, Bai Xi doesn't believe it can withstand three of his attacks.
As long as we can get the weapon back, everything is still negotiable.
As for where to get it...
Bai Xi's gaze swept around the tavern, and then he naturally disappeared into the crowd, as if it were a natural occurrence.
Stealth check score = 27/89, success on difficulty.
Your figure is lost among countless homeless people and drinkers. Now, you are hiding among them, slowly approaching the bar.
Like any other ordinary homeless person, Bai Xi came to the bar and looked at the small folding knife on the bar, which was obviously used to cut fruit, bread, or something else, and reached out her hand.
Although I don't know which kind-hearted guy it was, let's offer our condolences first.
Can I borrow it for a bit?
[Masterful Check = 12/70, extremely difficult to succeed]
Wow, you're incredibly talented at petty theft!
Could it be that you really are a notorious bandit?
You have obtained the item card "Ordinary Folding Knife".
[A standard folding knife]
[A folding knife of mediocre craftsmanship, but worth at least several million marks in Berlin in 1923, not because of its significance, but because it was Berlin in 1923.]
[No special effects, deals 1D4+DB piercing damage, untradeable, item card is lost upon character death]
It's alright, it works.
Bai Xi casually gestured with his hand and then naturally withdrew from the crowd. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Jiang Lingyi staring at him speechlessly.
"Oh, I forgot to get it for you."
Bai Xi slapped his forehead. Jiang Lingyi sighed.
I shouldn't have expected anything from this guy.
"Fine, let's leave it at that."
She shook her head, finished speaking, and walked out of the bar. Bai Xi didn't linger either, simply following Jiang Lingyi as they left the bar.
A howling, cold wind blew against the two of them. The gray city, covered in white snow, reflected the icy sunlight.
"How much longer do you think it will take for him to arrive?"
Jiang Lingyi turned to look at Bai Xi and asked. Bai Xi replied with a puzzled expression:
"Why are you asking me? How would I know the answer to that?"
"The other side is clearly trying to catch us off guard with a surprise attack. We can only hope for the best if we get lucky with our scouting."
Jiang Lingyi shook her head and said softly:
"No, it's just that I felt you would understand it better."
For a moment, Bai Xi fell silent.
After a long silence, he finally let out a soft sigh.
"The bakery is about ten minutes away from the tavern, at the speed of a ghoul."
Bai Xi quickly analyzed, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"However, based on my understanding of people like them, it should take a while. From the time he set off, it should be about fourteen minutes."
"Five minutes left?"
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Lingyi nodded slightly, not asking any further questions. Just like they always did, they tacitly left the conversation there.
Jiang Lingyi noticed something. Although she didn't see it clearly, she wisely chose not to look.
Jiang Lingyi had always been well aware of the intricate connections between Bai Xi and the cult known as the Hymn Society.
But for the sake of her few friends, she never made it clear.
She only occasionally told Bai Xi that she knew about the connection during their conversations, and that was all.
She offered this most basic trust. But in ordinary times, there's no need to make it too explicit.
The current situation, where things are only half-closed, is actually the best state to be in.
From their perspectives, once this unspoken understanding is broken, it will be difficult for them to remain friends.
"Has anything happened to you lately?"
With five minutes left, Jiang Lingyi stood in the cold wind and casually inquired about Bai Xi's condition.
"If there's something wrong, isn't this the case every year?"
Bai Xi shrugged and said, "This was probably just a minor accident."
"Really? After he saw you, he didn't care about anything else and came straight for you."
When Jiang Lingyi said this, Bai Xi seemed to smile slightly:
"Yes. They all are like that."
He gazed into the distance and said softly:
"Oh dear, maybe I'm just annoying. People haven't liked me for a long time."
"You'll get used to it. If you ask me, it's all just jealousy of my talent."
Jiang Lingyi stared at the fair face for a long time before finally speaking, "I didn't see any talent, but I definitely saw her ability to be annoying."
"Don't say that."
Bai Xi awkwardly touched her cheek, and just like that, the topic was completely and lightly dropped.
At that moment, in the cold wind, Bai Xi heard a rustling sound and subconsciously turned around.
Then, the sound of dice rolling filled the air.
[Detection check score = 6/70, extremely difficult to succeed]
[In the confrontation judgment, the confrontation was successfully detected.]
In an instant, everything before his eyes became incredibly clear. And Bai Xi also instantly saw the shadowy figure darting along the roadside like a dog.
Suddenly, he leaped up and pounced on Bai Xi.
However, Bai Xi's ambush had already been detected by Bai Xi's scouting. Therefore, without hesitation, Bai Xi brandished his folding knife and enthusiastically called out:
"You're here? I've been waiting for you!"
We're just one person away from starting the banquet!
Then, the blade was magically illuminated, and a dazzling light appeared on the folding knife, symbolizing the power of the Dark Sword manifesting here!
Bai Xi leaped up almost simultaneously and launched a fierce attack on the ghoul!
However, when the wind blew up the ghoul's black robe and cold face, Bai Xi was dumbfounded.
Looking at the ghoul whose entire body, except for its head, was made of mechanical prosthetics and exuded a punk-style mechanical feel, he couldn't help but shed tears of grief and indignation.
"You son of a bitch, KP, why were you being so honest this round? Were you just waiting for me to pull a fast one?"
"There really are Gundam ghouls?!"
