Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

[You have completed the side quest—Curse of Strange Knowledge]

[Quest Description: When you gaze into the wise eyes of the God of Knowledge, you have a one-third probability of obtaining a piece of correct strange knowledge, a one-third probability of obtaining a piece of incorrect strange knowledge, and a one-third probability of being directly killed by strange knowledge]

[If you are reading this message, congratulations, you have survived the knowledge impact emanating from the spirit of a corpse of an ancient deity and have obtained a chance to greatly enhance your skill proficiency]

[Your overall personal evaluation has improved significantly]

Alright, turns out closing your eyes really works.

Who would’ve thought the way to avoid this would be so plain and simple.

But then again, who can resist looking at a cute and somewhat silly little chubby cat without knowing the consequences?

Lu Wenwu habitually reached out to pet the little chubby cat.

The touch felt partly illusory yet real, indeed a fluffy, soft sensation.

However, the little chubby cat’s body lacked temperature, like a doll nailed in place.

No matter how much force he used, he couldn’t move the little chubby cat an inch.

Lu Wenwu stared at it from behind for a moment, then a bright idea struck him, and he pulled out a cat toy from his backpack, waving it in front of the little chubby cat.

Suddenly, the little chubby cat’s lifeless eyes seemed to quiver imperceptibly, its eyeballs following the movement of the cat toy.

Then, it started swiveling its round cat head flexibly like a typical domestic feline, rotating counterclockwise along the kitty toy’s feather.

Until it turned 180 degrees and tilted its head backward to look at the toy, its tail swaying gently.

God of Knowledge, originally the little chubby cat, has perished, residual spirit likes to play with kitty toys.

Who would’ve thought it would actually respond!

On the way back, I can pet the cat, so comfortable.

Lu Wenwu felt a small joy in his heart, reaching out again to scoop up the little chubby cat.

This time, the chaotic residual spirit of the God of Knowledge behaved like a regular kitten and was easily picked up.

Lu Wenwu retrieved the special black sunglasses for cats, previously played with by Xiaobao, and placed them on the little chubby cat’s face, face-to-face again.

No judgment was triggered!

Great, I really get to pet the cat on the way back!

Elu Cat, after all, isn’t a real cat; touching it feels strange.

Let’s move out, destination New City!

At the end of the suspension bridge, a group was anxiously waiting, fearing Lu Wenwu would suddenly drop dead in the middle of the bridge.

No one dared to open their eyes earlier, and no one could perceive what Lu Wenwu saw to decide to make them go first.

Now, all they could do was wait nervously.

Minutes later, the group intensely watching the bridgehead was taken aback.

They only saw Lu Wenwu, who had gone in empty-handed, now walking out holding an obedient, cute, and somewhat silly little chubby cat, with a wide smile on his face.

And that little chubby cat was wearing small sunglasses with round lenses, looking rather comical.

“Young Master, what’s this?” Long Yuanhai quickly stepped forward.

He didn’t ask questions like “Are you okay?”, “Are you hurt?” which seemed stupid.

Such things that can be seen at a glance don’t need asking.

“Oh, you mean this little chubby cat?”

Lu Wenwu lifted its chubby little paw and waved it.

“This is the cat god curse you mentioned; it’s actually the God of Knowledge, kind of survived back then, this is the remaining spirit, only without spiritual wisdom, just some instincts remaining.”

“Your way of crossing the bridge with closed eyes was correct; any creature making eye contact with the little chubby cat has to go through a judgment, with a certain chance to obtain cold knowledge, a certain chance to obtain incorrect cold knowledge, and a certain chance of immediate death.”

“Phew…”

Long Haiyuan let out a long breath, finally relaxed, an old smile returning to his face.

“Thank heavens the Young Master is safe and prosperous, avoiding that instant death outcome. Had something happened to the Young Master, this world would hardly find peace…”

“No, I did encounter instant death.” Lu Wenwu commented as he stroked the cat, “I went through the judgment over two hundred times before hitting it, luck wasn’t great.”

Long Haiyuan: “???”

Teammates just over: “???”

What? Then how didn’t you die?

And why were you actively trying to die?

Three people and a bird wore expressions that said, “you’re kidding me.”

Lu Wenwu released Mao Mao again and continued, “The instant death effect can be resisted with immunity items, and once resisted, it grants a temporary status, significantly increasing the skill proficiency level.”

“Hmm…at least it can elevate a basic skill to Peak Realm; the skill I randomly got has reached it, I can’t say for sure. If you have items or abilities that can resurrect or neutralize instant death, you can try.”

“Whoa!”

Two people, one bird simultaneously blurted out expletives.

Long Yuanhai remained bewildered.

He didn’t grasp what Peak Realm signified.

“Wow, Peak Realm!” AC Little Milk Cow admired almost to envy, “I’ve been polishing swordsmanship for a while; I barely raised the sword technique to First Generation Grandmaster Realm.”

“I nearly cawed!” Big Crow turned human yet couldn’t shake the habit of strange cries, “Without that kind of precious item, I would definitely try, this opportunity is too rare, caw!”
