Song Jian’s matchbox had nothing special about it, feeling very light in his hand as if there were not many matches inside. The matchbox didn’t even have an attribute description, just like an ordinary scene item.

Upon opening the matchbox, there were only three matches inside.

“Magical Match (Special): Consumable, Usage Effect: Striking the match at night will lead to unexpected events. May good luck always be with you!” “It’s a special consumable?” Song Jian’s eyes revealed a look of surprise. He had heard of such items before, similar to treasure chests that could grant various items upon use.

“Just for one Doomsday Coin, I made a fortune. Any item I get could easily cover the cost. If I had known, I would have bought all the matches in her basket!” Song Jian couldn’t help but think, even wanting to run after the little girl.

However, night was fast approaching, and the match-selling girl had already disappeared. Song Jian hesitated for a moment, ultimately shaking his head and turning to leave the area, heading for the Manor Castle.

Nightfall arrived, and monsters swarmed the streets, letting out loud roars and howls. No matter how many the players hunted during the day, there were always a large number of monsters appearing out of nowhere at night, seemingly endless.

At this time, the players could only hide in their safe houses, shivering in fear and praying that the monsters wouldn’t attack their safe houses. In fact, the reason the system allowed players to create safe houses was so they could have a place to hide at night. As long as they didn’t deliberately provoke the monsters that came out at night, the monsters wouldn’t actively attack the players’ safe houses.

Song Jian’s Manor Castle was brightly lit yet silent. The Black Dragon hatchling hunted happily around the manor, killing level-five monsters. Already a level- ten elite, it could no longer gain any experience from killing these low-level monsters, but it still enjoyed tearing them apart with its claws and teeth. Its golden vertical pupils glowed with a bloodthirsty excitement, as if the constant killing was a natural instinctive activity for it.

Song Jian sat in meditation on the bed, patiently waiting as the Night Slayer faintly emitted a red light from his chest. After a short time, the clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the bright moonlight.

At this moment, the monsters’ roars and howls grew even louder, their eyes turning red as they excitedly swallowed in the direction of the moon.

A moonbeam shone through the window, enveloping Song Jian in moonlight. A cool sensation washed over him from head to toe, causing him to let out a comfortable moan. The feeling of complete cleansing was simply too irresistible.

Song Jian soon immersed himself in this sensation, unaware of time passing;

Fifteen minutes later, the moon was once again obscured by clouds, and Song Jian slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his hands and arms, the skin was a glowing white, with veins and muscles clearly visible underneath. However, the unusual phenomenon soon subsided, and the cool sensation inside his body also disappeared, as if it had never existed.

An urge to kill every living creature in sight surged in Song Jian’s heart, causing his face to become twisted and deformed.

As the violent emotion rose in Song Jian’s heart, the Blood Pool in the basement suddenly began to churn, like boiling water. The blood-soaked zombies also raised their heads, making roaring and howling gestures, but without any sound coming from their mouths.

At the same moment that violence flooded Song Jian’s mind, a wave of coolness fought back against the emotion, quickly suppressing it.

The Blood Pool in the basement gradually returned to calm, and the blood­zombies sat back, only their heads above the surface.

Song Jian’s face remained calm, seemingly accustomed to this. Absorbing the essence of the moon could enhance his body’s attributes but he wouldn’t give up. Although the side effects were somewhat headache-inducing, he had the innate attribute “thick skin” and didn’t worry about his sanity being eroded by the violent emotions. So, he didn’t care.

Though he suppressed the violent emotions, Song Jian still felt an itch to go and battle the monsters outside.

After some contemplation, Song Jian sighed and took out the matchbox he had bought earlier. He lit one match in the box; a small flame instantly ignited.

The matchbox had only three matches, which could only be used during the night. Song Jian was also curious and wanted to see what unexpected things would happen.

As the match quickly burned out, Song Jian received a message from the system.

System: You’ve used “Maria Susan’s Matches.” An unexpected event occurred – Your vitality points decrease by 90%, and your monster kill experience reduces by 90% for 10 hours! Congratulations!

Song Jian gaped, looking at the matchbox with the remaining two matches, fighting the urge to throw it out the window and douse it in water.

“This is indeed unexpected…” Song Jian grumbled to himself, holding back a string of curses.

At that moment, Song Jian suddenly had an epiphany and slapped his forehead.

“Damn, Pin still under the curse of the Abyss Demon, with a luck reduction of three. I can’t believe I’m playing this treasure box game. It’s like asking for death!” Song Jian couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

In fact, during the daytime, when fighting monsters, Song Jian had already felt the effect of reduced fortune. His attack damage was consistently minimal compared to before. However, his increased strength allowed him to easily defeat the level twenty monsters, so he didn’t care.

Glancing at the matchbox with the remaining two matches, Song Jian shook his head and put it in his bag. Now was not the time to test his luck.

The night passed quickly, and daylight returned.

Song Jian stayed in the castle, his vitality points now less than too. Even against a level-ten monster, he might be killed in one strike. It would be better to wait quietly for the negative effect to disappear before venturing out again. Plus, there was only a little less than two hours left.

Just then, Song Jian heard a rumbling from afar. A voice echoed throughout the Doomsday City.

“Player Sang Ge initiates a Territory Expansion Campaign. This will be a great battle. Congratulations to Player Sang Ge on a victorious start and obtaining more territory!”
