Chapter 138 - Transformed! Eight-Handed Sanque
Chapter 138: Transformed! Eight-Handed Sanque
Sanque had always been like a carefree old man as it barely cared about anything.
However, Su Yang spotted a tinge of nervousness on its ugly face that moment, and the fresh 2 cm root above its head was tingling just like its mood. Su Yang had the urge to pull the roots off its head.
‘He’s almost bald anyway. A single root waving above his head really makes a weird scene. It’s torture to OCD patients…’
Su Yang rubbed his hand and held his urge back. He called the system up and everything in the room had a translucent [+] on it.
He tapped on Sanque’s plus sign and its body shone brightly.
Sanque’s body floated up into the air slowly and was enveloped by a ball of light, similar to how it had appeared the first time. A rhythmic heartbeat pounded from within the ball of light.
Su Yang watched quietly and waited patiently. The other little monsters fixed their gaze at the ball of light. Sanque’s point-addition seemed to have captivated everyone’s attention.
A while later, the ball of light shrunk and Sanque reappeared before everyone.
It looked…a lot uglier.
Its already wrinkled body had become even more wrinkled. The roots above its head were replaced by a tiny bush of green and two long roots appeared around its mouth, making it look like a wise sage.
Su Yang sized Sanque up. He somehow felt like the point made it older by 100 years.
Sanque then slowly opened its eyes. They were calm and steady like the surface of a quiet lake while it really looked a lot wiser.
Sanque stood up, sized its body up, and nodded at Su Yang before it climbed back into its pot.
Everyone else was rendered speechless.
‘Did it fail or succeed?’ Su Yang was confused.
Then, a description window popped up from Sanque.
[Wild Ginseng +2: Life Evolution successful. Acquired Intermediate Intellect. Acquired special ability.]
‘The Life Evolution was successful? And it acquired Intermediate Intellect? But…it doesn’t look any different. Is this what they call an intelligent man who usually looks stupid? Or should it be a stupid man is really stupid? It even got a special ability? What’s that about?’
Su Yang’s curiosity was piqued.
Then, Little Hus snuck up to Sanque and wanted to touch its green hat…no, its green leaves, on Sanque’s head with his edge.
Right when Little Hus’ edge touched Sanque’s head, Sanque opened its eyes and stared at the husky bolster.
Little Hus smirked despite being stared at. He somehow felt a little guilty, but he still quickly brushed Sanque’s leaves.
It was at that moment that Sanque’s body suddenly bulged and it grew into a 190-cm-tall monster with terrifying bulky muscles. It raised its hands up and six more robust arms grew from its back.
Two of its hands grabbed Little Hus and the other six arms pummeled him like a sandbag. The barrage of fists were as fast as a pile driver, releasing fierce whooshes along with its motion.
A minute later, Sanque released Little Hus and its body shrunk back to its original size. It slowly climbed back into the pot and played dead.
‘What the f*ck just happened?! Sanque transformed?! And he has eight hands now?!’
Everyone else was once again silenced by the astonishing scene.
Little Lady Knife grumbled angrily, “What happened? What’s with the sudden whooshes?! Why aren’t you guys talking?”
Little Hus had his mind pummeled out of his head. He lay on the floor soulless and his eyes were spinning like mosquito coils as though he was a cartoon character.
Su Yang picked the husky bolster up and patted the dust off his body. He said, “Since you are unconscious, I’ll be heading to campus now.”
Little Hus woke up all of a sudden and widened his husky eyes. He looked at Su Yang excitedly. “Add! Add a point to me!”
‘I knew it! This b*stard is even harder to kill than a cockroach!’
Since he had promised Little Hus to add a point to him, Su Yang made his wish come true.
Su Yang stuck the last piece of charm on Little Hus and called the system up.
With the red glow from the charm surrounding him, Little Hus looked at Su Yang with high anticipation. He muttered ceaselessly, “I want to become big, I want to become beautiful…Wait! No! I want to become tall, I want to become handsome, I want to become human!”
Su Yang tapped on the [+] sign on Little Hus.
Light shone brightly from the bolster and Little Hus floated into the air. A ball of light enveloped him and a buzz started to sound from within. The whole room started to shake as if something grand was expanding from the ball of light.
‘Is Little Hus getting what he’s been dreaming of?’
Su Yang and the little monsters focused their gaze on the ball of light.
A moment later, the light faded and Little Hus fell back on the floor with an excited expression. He hopped around and looked at everyone. “How is it? How do I look? Am I human yet? Am I handsome?”
Su Yang and the little monsters just stared at him.
“You look…bigger?”
Little Hus sized his body up and realized the harsh truth. He was stunned for a little while before he fell on the floor as if he was in despair. His eyes even lost focus.
Su Yang patted the husky bolster. “It’s fine. There’s still hope. The system description has yet to appear. Maybe you will get some special ability like Sanque.”
Right after his words subsided, the description window popped up above Little Hus.
[Bolster +2. Became bigger]
‘Okay, you are as good as dead. I’d better bury you…’
The husky on the bolster looked all sorrowful and pitiful as he said, “What can I do now that I’m bigger?!”
Su Yang cleared his throat. “I can hug you better?”
Little Hus was speechless.
Su Yang consoled the husky bolster. “Didn’t you wish to be bigger at first? You got what you wished for, didn’t you?”
Little Hus glared at him. ‘You are really good with your words!’
…
Only Little Hus got a useless trait from the point, so it was natural for him to feel bad. Su Yang understood it as well.
However, it was a Monday and Su Yang had to go to class. He did not have the time to sulk with Little Hus. He put Little Hus in Deeny and Pool’s care and told them to console him.
After all, that was life, and life f*cked up sometimes.
On the way to campus, Su Yang realized that he should have added the point to Little Hus at a later date, maybe the next day or the day after. According to the iron rule of gacha gaming, after getting three SSR characters, the odds of getting a fourth in a row were near to zero.
Su Yang got carried away after he got three powerful abilities from the item and little monsters, hence he added the point to Little Hus.
Maybe it was the [Protection Charm] that had prevented Little Hus from being destroyed.
When he reached the lecture hall, he saw Chu Xia and Liu Yiyi talking about something softly together.
A while later, Chu Xia went up to Su Yang and poked him with a grin. “Mr. President, it’s time for you to pay the club fees.”
“Club fees? I’m the president and I have to pay?” Su Yang was surprised.
“Of course! Our club fees are collected based on events. Han Yi is coming this Friday and the fans have decided to make a banner to support her. They even suggested buying some lightsticks and roll-up banners. What do you think?” Chu Xia said.
‘The fans really have nothing better to do…It’s just a celebrity. Is it even worth going this far for her?’
However, since Su Yang needed the fan club to assist his part-time group, he paid five yuan to Chu Xia.
Chu Xia walked away on her long, slender legs after she got the money.
Su Yang then sent a message to Wang Dong and told the man that he had classes to attend today, so he would not be dropping by the office.
Wang Dong assured him that the company was operating smoothly with everything progressing well, so Su Yang did not need to worry about it.
The morning classes flew by in the blink of an eye. A busy and productive Monday morning went by just like that.
During lunch, Su Yang put on his earphones Deeny provided him and scrolled Tiktok while having his meal.
Tiktok recently recommended him a lot of videos about the country, which decreased the number of videos of beautiful girls with long legs. Nevertheless, it was still amusing to kill his time.
After he finished the last bite, Su Yang wanted to exit Tiktok and leave, but the next recommendation captured his attention.
‘Huh? This video looks familiar…Isn’t this…DEENY?!’
