I Don’t Want to Become Her Pet-Chapter 26 : Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Killing the Pitcher Plant, Space System Second Order
Two days later, Su Qinghan was hunting mutated creatures on the 24th floor.
After killing the fish in front of her, which had six legs and was constantly exuding long white worms from its body, she looked at the several Spirit Crystals in her hand, then turned and walked towards the storeroom of this room.
She decided to break through her Mind Creation System First Order here, and reach the Second Order.
Su Qinghan sat cross-legged, adjusted herself to the most comfortable posture, then slowly grasped several Spirit Crystals in her hand, absorbing the energy contained within them into her body.
With each breath, hot air continuously escaped from her mouth and nose.
Her body temperature began to rise rapidly, soon exceeding forty degrees, and it was still rising.
Sweat began to appear on her forehead; one could imagine the immense pain she had to endure during the breakthrough.
Her whole body felt as if ants were crawling and gnawing on it.
About three hours later, these symptoms began to slowly subside.
Finally, Su Qinghan opened her bright eyes and examined her body.
Her slender arms showed slight muscle definition.
Although it was only a little, her strength was much greater than that of an ordinary person, comparable to a professional weightlifter.
Her reaction speed was also somewhat stronger than before.
The most obvious change was her Sea of Consciousness; it had doubled in size.
Although its size couldn't be described, it could be intuitively felt.
Su Qinghan quickly sat up from the ground, crossed her hands overhead, and stretched.
All the joints in her body crackled, and a tingling sensation swept through her entire body—like a bamboo forest after a spring rain, brimming with strength and vitality.
She retracted her right hand, then suddenly punched towards the concrete wall beside her.
Bang!
When Su Qinghan retracted her fist, a dent immediately appeared on the white, neat wall.
Cracks spread around it, and many pieces of cement and lime plaster debris scattered on the ground.
She looked at her masterpiece on the wall, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the 23rd floor.
Arriving at a certain room on the 23rd floor, she took out the inflatable raft from her space and threw it onto the water surface through the broken French window.
Su Qinghan generated a thin film on the surface of her body to prevent the rain from drenching her, then pushed off with her foot, jumped onto the inflatable raft, and rowed towards Building Seven with an oar.
After reaching Building Seven, Su Qinghan smashed the French window in front of her and jumped in.
As soon as Su Qinghan entered Building Seven, she smelled that familiar sweet scent in the air.
After looking around and confirming there was no danger, she quickly walked out of the room and headed towards the 30th floor.
Su Qinghan was going to hunt that Second Order mutated pitcher plant.
After all, Su Qinghan was also Second Order now.
In a one-on-one fight, she was quite confident; even if she couldn't win, she could definitely escape.
When she arrived on the 30th floor, she glanced at the corridor.
There were many more black bloodstains on it.
Judging by their appearance, they were no more than three days old, most likely from yesterday.
Just as Su Qinghan was carefully observing, a thick plant root quietly emerged from the door of Room 3006, approached Su Qinghan, and then suddenly attacked her, as if to kill her in one blow.
But before it could touch Su Qinghan's body, the root instantly broke into several segments.
Su Qinghan twirled the transparent dagger in her hand, holding it firmly in her right palm.
“Since I've been discovered, there's no need to be sneaky.”
She dashed towards Room 3006, pushed open the ajar door, and just then, several more roots attacked her face.
Su Qinghan dodged sideways, evading all the attacks, and chuckled softly: “Too slow!”
Her right hand moved with lightning speed, slashing a few times, cutting off all the roots.
Her left hand pulled out the handgun from the holster strapped to her thigh, and she
continuously pulled the trigger, firing bullets at the black bead at the top of the pitcher plant.
That was its weak point.
Under most circumstances, mutated plants would condense something to store energy.
These came in various shapes, sometimes internal, sometimes external, but they were all black.
The pitcher plant had already broken through the ceiling, its top black bead extended out of the house, bathing in the rain. The entire floor of the room was wet, mixed with the smell of blood, very unpleasant.
An ordinary person staying here for no more than a minute would have to vomit up their dinner from the previous night.
The Makarov PM handgun's magazine was already empty, but it hadn't harmed the black bead at all.
The bullets were all blocked by the pitcher plant's wide, thick leaves, which were punched with several small holes before the bullets fell to the floor.
Su Qinghan returned the handgun to her space, then took out a bucket of alcohol from it and threw it at the pitcher plant.
The latter obviously didn't know what this thing was, and when it got close to its body, it pierced it with its roots.
Alcohol flowed out from the opening, and a large area of the pitcher plant was covered in alcohol.
Su Qinghan grinned, took out an old-fashioned kerosene lighter, flicked the small gear on it, lit it, and threw it forcefully at the pitcher plant.
In an instant, more than half of the pitcher plant's body was engulfed in flames.
Countless roots danced wildly in the air, swatting at the flames on its body.
Su Qinghan knew that flames alone could not kill the pitcher plant, only burn its surface.
The pitcher plant poured the liquid from its traps onto the burning areas, trying to extinguish the fire, completely ignoring the greatest threat.
Just then, Su Qinghan aimed, pushed off with both feet, and leaped into the air.
Just as she was about to fall, her Mind Creation System ability activated, instantly forming a platform under her feet that she could step on.
In this way, Su Qinghan leaped to the hole in the ceiling.
A transparent long sword instantly appeared in her hand.
With a forceful swing, the sharp long sword cut through the air with a whooshing sound, slashing towards the black bead.
By the time the pitcher plant reacted, it was already too late.
The sound of shattering echoed through the hole, reverberating in this empty room.
The mutated pitcher plant froze for a few seconds, as if it had just processed what happened.
Its entire massive body twitched, and digestive fluid from its traps splattered everywhere.
Su Qinghan stood on the rooftop watching this scene.
Gradually, the mutated pitcher plant stopped reacting, its roots all drooped limply onto the floor, and its body began to slowly turn yellow; it was clearly dead.
Su Qinghan shifted her gaze and looked towards the vast, boundless distance, where raindrops continuously fell on the water surface, creating ripples.
The rain was much lighter than before; it wouldn't be long before it stopped.
Her gaze remained fixed in one direction in the distance, as if waiting for something.
More than ten seconds passed, but nothing happened.
Su Qinghan knew nothing would happen, because the time had not yet come.
“Counting the time, it should be about tomorrow.”
Su Qinghan withdrew her gaze, looked at the brown Spirit Crystal in her hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
Second Order Spirit Crystals were brown, more than ten times better than First Order ones.
“Now I can advance the Space System to Second Order. I wonder what changes there will be.”
Thinking, Su Qinghan jumped back into the room from the hole in the rooftop.
Two hours later, Su Qinghan advanced her Space System ability to Second Order, gaining two new abilities: telekinesis and a minor form of ground-shrinking movement. Also, her storage space doubled.
A few minutes later, Su Qinghan returned to Building Eight and walked towards her Room 3006.
“I wonder what Xiao Mumu is doing...”
