Lin Yi summarized in his heart: The damage caused by the master's skills is still not as high as that of her pet's.
Wang Qiu'er stood up, shook her slightly messy pink and blue curls, and flicked off the metal shavings mixed within.
"Thank you, Bumblebee," she said to Bumblebee with a smile, tiptoed, and patted the iron skin on Bumblebee's arm.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
Bumblebee happily swayed its head, emitting a buzzing mechanical sound, which Wang Qiu'er knew was its way of responding.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 119678]
[Remaining Life: 899884993768]
[Damage Grade: Black (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Pinocchio's Nose Trait]
[Host Reward: Pinocchio's Nose Trait*2]
Hmm? This reward... it feels vaguely familiar.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi suddenly remembered an anime he had watched, Million Cold Jokes!
The setting about Pinocchio's nose in it was outrageous, and Lin Yi remembered being particularly impressed when he watched it.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the description, and then couldn't help but hum in his heart, sure enough, it's this setting!
Looking at Wang Qiu'er, Lin Yi said, "Damage 119678, Black Intermediate Level, your reward is the Pinocchio's Nose trait."
Wang Qiu'er listened quietly, but her first impression was still… she didn't understand!
Lin Yi explained, "Pinocchio is a puppet with thoughts and life. He has one characteristic, which is that his nose grows longer when he lies."
"And this reward is exactly that nose trait, but here, the trait has been exaggerated."
"If the truth corresponding to the lie you tell causes a sensation, has a substantial influence, or is enough to cause widespread shock, the speed at which the nose grows will be exceptionally fast, as fast as a bullet being fired, and the length can be very long, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters. It all depends on the impact of the truth corresponding to your lie."
"If it's a common-sense lie, like the sun rising in the west, the nose growth and speed will be relatively weakened."
Wang Qiu'er slightly shook her head, digesting Lin Yi's words, and then hesitantly began to speak:
"Can I understand it as, if the lie I tell is a truth that everyone knows, the growth speed and length of the nose will be relatively weaker, but if the lie I tell is not normally discernible as a lie by others, then the nose's growth speed and length will increase?"
Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately, as Wang Qiu'er had understood the reward from a different perspective, which was not bad, and indeed a bit better than the official statement in the annotations.
He nodded, "It's more or less like that."
Wang Qiu'er then timidly asked with curiosity, "So, Senior Lin Yi, what's the use of the nose growing longer?"
"Attack."
Lin Yi responded simply with two words.
Wang Qiu'er in surprise: "Ah?"
"If the lie is properly used, the growth speed will be as fast as a bullet, and the length will be very exaggerated. This can completely serve as a method of attack, and after the nose grows, it will be completely regarded as Pinocchio's nose, made of wood and extremely hard."
"You mean, it's still my nose before it grows, but after it grows, it becomes his wooden nose?"
"Right."
At this point, Wang Qiu'er finally understood all the details of the reward.
How precisely to utilize lies... she was wondering when she saw Lin Yi take a black sphere of light and flicked it towards her.
The sphere of light actively adhered to her nose.
Wang Qiu'er immediately touched her nose, hmm... at this moment she hadn't lied, so the nose was still her own.
But... is this really a reward? Won't I be unable to lie in the future?
Lin Yi, as if seeing her concerns, said, "This reward can be removed once a month, and every month it's up to you to decide whether to blend it into yourself or not."
Wang Qiu'er immediately nodded her head happily.
Apart from the fear of not being able to lie, this reward still seemed novel to her, and worth a try.
Let's start by telling a lie!
Wang Qiu'er turned around, and Bumblebee also turned around next to her, looking somewhat puzzled.
When Wang Qiu'er faced them, the crowd below instantly showed a terrified expression, quickly moving aside as if facing a great enemy.
Senior Lin Yi had just mentioned that after lying, her nose may shoot out as fast as a bullet, which could skewer someone into a human kebab if they stood in front of her!
"I currently look like a human male."
Wang Qiu'er said, glancing downward as she spoke.
The delicate tip of her nose suddenly elongated!
The color also changed from skin tone to the wooden color of brownish-yellow.
Her nose, now resembling a long wooden stick, stretched freely in midair, reaching a maximum length of about three meters. The sight of it suddenly shooting forward startled Wang Qiu'er, despite being mentally prepared for it, and naturally, so did the audience below.
"Wow!"
They widened their eyes, leaning back their bodies, afraid of getting their heads blown off by the nose.
It seemed that the falsehood she had just told was something everyone could discern, hence the corresponding truth didn't cause much of a stir, which is why her nose wasn't very long, nor did it grow very fast.
At this moment, her nose had completely retracted back to its original form.
Wang Qiu'er thought for a moment and then continued, "The Three-eyed Golden Lion has genders."
"Whoosh!"
Her wooden nose shot out rapidly, zipping into the distant crowd, so fast it was nearly invisible!
But at this moment, Wang Qiu'er was shocked, her eyes wide open.
About fifty meters away from her, on the very outskirts where two Gua Sha Masters hadn't managed to dodge in time, the nose pierced through their shoulder blades one after the other...
The two Gua Sha Masters watched this scene in horror.
They were squeezed on the outermost edge, having a hard time even watching when others attacked, always ending up at the end of the line when it was their turn... With such bad luck, they had been stabbed by a nose!
Who had they offended now?!
Now they were truly skewered like kebabs!
Quickly, the nose retracted, and although Wang Qiu'er's nose did not have any blood on it, she saw the two Gua Sha Masters collapse to the ground, limply.
A voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind.
Double kill!
"They… They..."
Wang Qiu'er pointed anxiously in that direction, and at this moment, Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly and said, "Bi Ji, heal them."
"Oh!"
Goose Goose obediently ran over, her healing ability now so strong it could even bring back the dead.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, a sentence suddenly came from behind her, causing her body to tense up instantly.
"That lie wasn't significant enough; the nose didn't even break a hundred meters. Tell another lie with enough weight, to maximize the effect and show everyone, but this time, you may lift your head to speak."
