New Ability Every Ten Days: Becoming a Vampire Made Me Too OP

Yu Xian's Super Brain immediately gave him the answer, and he muttered, "Trees die when they're moved, but people find new life by changing their environment!"

Perhaps his previous lifespan had not been his true lifespan, but rather the maximum lifespan value of a living being on the Blue Planet. When this value reached zero, an apocalyptic catastrophe would erupt on the Blue Planet, and any life that remained in the world would undoubtedly die. But as long as one left the world, they could continue living and have the chance to even live for a very, very long time.

Lifespan value was not fixed. Most likely, he needed to be wary of it only when it reached zero. That was what had happened with the giant serpent. Its lifespan value had reached zero today, and in the end, Asonis had killed it.

Probably, a lifespan value of zero also had decimals, for the hours or minutes left. However, his Appraisal could not display smaller units. So he did not know exactly how long someone could live when their lifespan reached zero.

After he had cast Appraisal on the giant serpent, it had fought against the Supreme Martial Zombie King and was killed by Asonis only a while later. In other words, there had actually been a small window of time for it to save itself. For example, if it had been able to sense that its lifespan value had reached zero and immediately burrowed underground or hidden itself, perhaps it could have avoided Asonis's gaze and escaped with its life.

Having figured this out, Yu Xian decided that from now on, he would use Appraisal on himself from time to time for no other reason than to check whether his lifespan had changed. If his lifespan value ever reached zero, he would immediately switch worlds until it returned to normal.

***

At around 5 AM, Yu Xian silently returned to his home. He immediately used Appraisal on himself. Sure enough, his lifespan value had gone back to 5,322. Strangely, although it had decreased, he felt a sense of relief.

This trip had been enormously fruitful. Not only had he successfully rescued Zhang Shou from another world, but he had also obtained the giant serpent's inheritance.

On top of that, he had awakened a new ability. To a large extent, this ability made up for the shortcomings in his scouting prowess. Now, he had Super Smell at close range and Thousand Eyes and Ten Thousand Sights at long range. He no longer had to worry about teleporting over and immediately face-tanking an enemy's attack.

The sky was beginning to brighten, and a thin mist filled the air. Yu Xian took a shower, then sat on a lounge chair on the balcony, looking at the sky on the eastern horizon as it gradually turned pale. Bubbles kept appearing and disappearing at his fingertips.

In just one short minute, he updated all the bubbles he had placed around this world into Thousand Eyes and Ten Thousand Sights bubbles. When he closed his eyes, countless images appeared in his mind, each corresponding to one of his eyeball bubbles. He focused his attention on the view through one of them.

The view showed a vast lake. Since day had yet to break, the lake water appeared pitch-black, as if a terrifying beast were hidden beneath its surface. That stillness gave off an extremely frightening feeling. Suddenly, a huge dragon's head rose from the water.

Yu Xian was startled. He had not expected the Extreme Dragon to emerge from the water. Before he could make any moves, the gemstone on the Extreme Dragon's forehead emitted a dazzling blue light. The next instant, a light beam shot out and blasted the eyeball bubble in the air. The image abruptly went black.

Yu Xian instinctively leaned back, his forehead covered in beads of sweat. Clearly, the Extreme Dragon had sensed his gaze and launched an attack without the slightest hesitation.

Only after quite a while did Yu Xian recover. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Fierce! As expected of one of the only two beings I can't see through."

After successfully casting Appraisal on the Supreme Martial Zombie King and the giant serpent, Yu Xian had realized he could appraise targets above Dragon rank. But it was precisely because of that, the Extreme Dragon had become even more mysterious in his mind.

That was why, after updating his bubbles, the first thing he did was peep at the Extreme Dragon. He simply had not expected the creature to notice him so quickly. Yu Xian did not harass the Extreme Dragon any further. If he really angered it, that would not be good.

It's about time anyway.

He got up and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast. After breakfast, he had to go to school with Nora.

***

Three days passed in perfect peace. Excitement was only temporary. Only ordinary, peaceful days were real. However, Zhang Shou had also returned to school, which had made Yu Xian's life just a tiny bit livelier again.

But this also caused a problem: Zhang Shou was disturbing Yu Xian's time alone with Nora. While wondering how to stop that, Yu Xian had a sudden flash of inspiration. He decided to give his good brother a tiny little benefit. Thus, Zhang Shou was treated to a one-second school commute service, courtesy of his friend, who instantly teleported him straight to the Supernatural Academy the moment he set foot outside each day.

Labeling Yu Xian as a textbook case of a man who prioritized romance over friendship, Zhang Shou secretly vowed to sabotage his private time with Nora. From that moment on, a war of tactical trickery began between the two friends.

For example, Zhang Shou would refuse to leave through the front door and instead leap straight down from the balcony, willing to spend one of his lives just to deny Yu Xian the chance to teleport him. Unfortunately, Yu Xian monitored the entire city through Super Smell. The moment Zhang Shou revived, Yu Xian would immediately teleport him to school.

Refusing to accept defeat, Zhang Shou bolted for the exit the moment he landed on the Supernatural Academy. Yet, he found himself hopelessly trapped within an infinitely looping layer of space, failing to make it even a single step past the school gates.

Ultimately, Yu Xian successfully arrived at school with Nora, while Zhang Shou suffered a complete defeat in this contest.

Nora knew absolutely nothing about their battle of wits. So when she saw Zhang Shou kneeling in an "orz" pose in front of the school gate, his face filled with despair, she tilted her head and looked at Yu Xian, question marks practically filling the air above her head.[1]

Yu Xian wore the smile of a victor. He raised his nose and walked past Zhang Shou, making Zhang Shou so angry that he pounded the ground.

***

During the morning self-study period, Yu Xian lay on his desk with his eyes closed. An eyeball bubble inside his drawer stared at the phone held by a hand-shaped bubble, a TV drama playing on it.

The Cloak of Deception could easily filter out all kinds of foul smells. Yu Xian could even enhance it with belief, transforming foul odors into pleasant fragrances, essentially deceiving himself. This way, he no longer needed to keep a bubble over his head and look like an astronaut.

Besides, he would never complain about having too much defense. With both the Dragon Shield and the Cloak of Deception protecting him, his sense of security was overflowing. He no longer had to worry about gaps in his defense.

Right now, he was not just watching a TV drama. With his Super Brain, he could multitask.

In the dead world destroyed by corpse miasma, an eyeball bubble moved high up through the sky, observing everything on the surface. He was searching for silver and gold. The world was vast. All the silver and gold couldn't have been taken away. As long as he put his mind to searching, Yu Xian believed he would definitely find gold and silver.

When the first period ended, a bubble appeared in Yu Xian's palm. Then, pieces of glittering golden metal appeared out of thin air inside the bubble.

In the dead world, two hand-shaped bubbles rapidly dug through the ground. Whenever they found gold, they threw it into the eyeball bubble, which teleported the gold over to Yu Xian without wasting a second.

Yu Xian squeezed the gold into a lump, and an even bolder idea arose in his mind. Since he had found gold in another world, what about the worlds neighboring the one he was currently in? There had to be even more gold and silver in outer space. Other people had no ability to mine it, but he did!

It was as if he had seen a shining golden road appearing before him. If he were right, he would never have to worry about money again.

When picking up trash, one had to go where there was less competition. The less competition there was, the greater the harvest. Outer space was like one huge garbage dump, and no trash picker had gone there to strip it clean yet.

This is absolutely worth doing!

The more Yu Xian thought about it, the more he felt this idea was brilliant. He immediately decided to take the gamble.
