"First of all...thanks for saving me." Says Reina.
"Yeah? And?"
"Uh...i need your help!"
...i don't want to do this.
"What's in it for me."
"Huh?"
"What, you expect me to give you extra service for free?"
"Uh...what do you want?" Asks Reina.
...
"A blessing."
Reina looks surprised by that request. "How do you know that I have a blessing skill?"
I can't tell her that she used it in front of me in the past life. Those who have blessing skills can bless other players, permanently multiplying all of their stats
By 2,3 or even 4. It's a very amazing skill but those with blessing skills usually ask for a huge amount of money in exchange for a blessing...this Reina, in the past life only blessed girls and cursed boys.
...luckily I wasn't one of the cursed and she let me go.
For curse...i guess you could say only players who had gone through a really hard time and suffering can obtain that skill. That curse skill links very much to vengeance so I completely understand why Reina has it. Though she might not get it this time because I saved her.
The curse works similar to the blessing. Instead, the curse divides our stats by 2,3 or whatever number, depending on the level of the skill. Yes, it's very terrifying, especially for the high-level players who have lots of stats, divided by 2 and half of their tremendous strength is gone.
I sigh.
"I just happened to know...anyway, how long is the cooldown for your blessing skill?" I ask.
"Uh...every 5 rounds I can multiply by 2. If I level it up, I can multiply 3. Right now my skill is only level 1...so..."
"Fine. I will create a team, you join."
"Huh?!" Reina jolts up and falls to the ground.
"What? I need you to bless me every 5 rounds, I will also help you level up your skill and protect you. In exchange, I will fulfil your request. Not a bad deal right? Win-Win for both of us."
"No no, it's just...the thought of teaming up with a strong player like you is like a dream so it's quite a shock to me." Says Reina, getting up.
...strong huh...
"Alright, tell me what's wrong?"
"I have another friend in this game, she was original with me but we got separated when the apocalypse began." Says Reina.
Yeah, that's common.
"So you want me to help you find her and protect both of you for this round?"
"Yes! And if possible...let her join our team too! She has a blessing skill too!" Says Reina.
What?!
I smile at Reina and grab both of her shoulders.
"No problem. If she has a blessing skill, no matter how much of a dead weight she is, I will accept her and protect both of you." I say with a smile.
How lucky I am! Two blessers in my team are already a paradise. I wonder how much boost in stats will I get...i may get too overpowered though, I need to find a way to hide my strength soon.
And probably learn to control it as well.
