《I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 1. I¡¯ll fight with you guys. ¡°Boom!¡± Zin¡¯rokh, the leader of the Destroyer of Worlds, collapsed with a loud crash. The goat horn on his forehead was broken, his face was bruised, and his jaw was so swollen that he could not close his mouth. His wings, which were supposed to cover the sky when they were opened, were full of holes. However, there was only one person standing tall on the battlefield with a sword. ¡°Who are you?¡± As the final boss, his voice was hoarse, but it was funny to hear him begging for mercy. ¡°Me? I¡¯m just a player or an NPC that won¡¯t die.¡± Char wiped away the black blood on his Silver Sword, Mystletainn. 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 15 seconds. The best that he had achieved. What was praiseworthy was that the control of power was in place, and the opponent did not die immediately. It was a little embarrassing to think about the last time he had gotten the Holy Sword, Narshil, and his opponent had been defeated easily. Zin¡¯rokh did not understand what he was talking about, and he did not want to ask any more questions. He just wanted to die. The Destroyer of Worlds would not really die. He was the embodiment of the will of the abyss. As long as the world was not pure, he would shoulder the mission of purifying them, like a purple sweet potato. ¡°Just kill me,¡± He said. ¡°Okay.¡± After Char agreed to kill him, Zin¡¯rokh closed his eyes, waiting for the sword to pierce through his head. However, he did not get pierced by the sword. Instead, he felt something cold on his head. ¡°This is¡­¡± His power recovered at an extremely fast speed, and the demon blood that he had lost was also replenished. His broken horn was regenerated, and his demon wings were repaired. Zin¡¯rokh stood up straight in an instant, and his wings could cover the sky. ¡°Mortal, how dare you!¡± Before he could finish his lines, Zin¡¯rokh suddenly calmed down. He saw the man holding the Mystletainn in his right hand and a leaf shrouded in demonic Qi in his left. [Leaf of the Abyssal Demon Tree] It was the treasure of all demons. It was this thing that had saved him in an instant. However, he was actually using this thing to clean his sword! After wiping it, he threw it away like toilet paper! Zin¡¯rokh took a deep breath. ¡°Why did you save me?¡± He asked. ¡°I¡¯m tired of playing and want to swap positions.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve killed you 176 times before. The first 26 times were with the Human Expeditionary Force, and the last 150 times were all one-on-one fights. This time, I want to try something else.¡± Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen you before in the six deaths I¡¯ve experienced¡­¡± ¡°No¡­ It has nothing to do with the destruction of the six eras. I¡¯ve killed you 176 times in this era. Of course, you can¡¯t understand what a system reset is. It¡¯s not your fault. In short, you just have to remember that I know you very well, even better than you know yourself.¡± Zin¡¯rokh firmly believed the second half of the sentence. That was the truth. It was a one-sided battle just now. He had not even touched the corner of his opponent¡¯s clothes before he was beaten to the point of bleeding all over the ground, and this was on the premise that his opponent had spared his life. Even when summoning minions from the abyss, the guy would always be able to guess his intentions. They could even predict the position of the minions and throw a scroll in advance. Every time when the gate of the abyss was opened, the monsters inside the gate would be crushed to death before they could even finish their lines. He was like the mother of the abyss who created me. No, the mother of the abyss did not understand her child that well. ¡°So I want to change my method this time,¡± Char said. ¡°What?¡± ¡°You summon your underlings, and I¡¯ll fight with you guys.¡± ¡°What?¡±Zin¡¯rokh was stunned. ¡°Fight¡­ Fight what?¡± The Destroyer of Worlds, the Leader of the Monsters, the final boss of the final chapter of ¡°Fantasy World¡± was as lost as a child. ¡°Fight the Human Expeditionary Force.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Even though Zin¡¯rokh was known as the Destroyer of Worlds, and he would destroy everything, he was still stunned. ¡°W-why?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ask,¡± Char finally wiped his sword clean. He walked straight to the Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s throne and shattered it with one strike. The power was just right. The throne was split in half, but it did not damage the ¡°Egg of Chaos¡± hidden beneath it. It was a tool that could awaken the greed, violence, bloodthirst, and other dark sides of a person¡¯s heart. Except for the pure Holy Son, no one could resist it. ¡°You¡­ How did you know?¡± Zin¡¯rokh cried out in shock. ¡°When the first time I killed you, a Paladin called Laurentia shot down the throne with his spear, and it splattered everywhere. Other than me and Ortlinde, the Valkyrie, no one could resist the whispers of the abyss. They all became crazy and wanted to strip her naked and rape her. So, I killed all those idiots and saved her, but because I killed my people with Narshil, I was betrayed by the Holy Sword. I was marked as a traitor and was hunted down by the entire human race. Although Ortlinde has been corrupted and provided me with many benefits during my escape, she¡¯s a good girl. I don¡¯t like a bad ending.¡± Char mumbled as she raised the egg that was covered in tentacles and eyeballs and smashed it against the wall. Crack! The juice splashed everywhere, and the negative emotions mixed with shrill screams locked onto the nearest living creature and attacked it. Char had already expected this. He took out a basin of holy water and splashed it at the monster, eliminating it instantly. Zin¡¯rokh trembled at the sight. The Origin! It¡¯s said that even archbishops only have a small bottle of it. Hence, how did he get a whole basin of holy water? It was enough for him to die several times, but he had not used it at all during their fight! ¡°But since you have a close relationship with that b*tch¡­ I mean Valkyrie, why do you choose to help me? ¡± ¡°I want to try something new.¡± Char then took out the Quasi-God Restoration Fluid from Criquetot, the Master Craftsman, and restored the broken throne. He then sat on it and crossed her legs. ¡°After you have maxed out your favorability with Ortlinde, she¡¯ll tell you a secret. The Valkyrie with Narshil will burst out with incredible power in a desperate situation. I want to see what it is, whether it¡¯s good or not, and whether it¡¯s awesome or not. I¡¯ll just take it that I¡¯ve collected all the cinematics, just missing this one.¡± Char patted the armrest and looked up. ¡°What are you waiting for? Call for your underlings. Hide in the position I told you to¡± ¡°Oh, okay¡­¡± ¡°You should change your lines too. The original one is too low-class and too short¡± ¡°Let me think¡­¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve already made it up for you. When the time comes, just look at my eyes and read it.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± ¡­ Three hours later, the Human Expeditionary Force was almost annihilated in Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s hideout. The ground was filled with the corpses of humans and monsters. Blood mixed into a dark brown river, flowing wantonly on the ground full of scorched and battle marks, swallowed by the hot lava. Laurentia, the Paladin, who was holding Gungnir, the Eternity Spear, had a look of despair in his eyes. Only the Valkyrie was left on the field. Char sat on the throne, and the Destroyer of Worlds was like a dog, groveling at his feet. The battle just now had given Zin¡¯rokh an absurd sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. Char was the will of the abyss! He was the true son of the abyss! He had never thought that he would be able to withstand a human¡¯s attack so easily. It was as if he could predict the future and see through the other¡¯s every move! The two omnipotent divine weapons were useless! Gungnir, the Eternity Spear. It was said that it had been blessed by the gods and could definitely hit and penetrate the enemy¡¯s defense. In the previous six eras, Zin¡¯rokh had been stabbed to death by this detestable spear! However, this time, the Paladin did not even stand a chance to hurl the spear at him! The Holy Sword, Narshil. The hope that God had promised to mankind. With the guidance of this sword, they would eventually win every battle! However, the Holy Sword¡¯s follower had been killed by Char¡¯s minions¡­ Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s eyes were filled with fervor as he willingly respected Char. If the final boss also had favorability toward a player, it would probably be maxed out. ¡°Why did you betray humanity¡­?¡± Ortlinde questioned Char as her beautiful eyes trembled. Compared to her failure, Char¡¯s betrayal was even more unacceptable. ¡°Why did you betray me? Answer me!¡± The Valkyrie with a single ponytail shuddered, and her aura suddenly rose. [Ortlinde¡¯s favorability toward you has decreased by 175000. Friend to enemy.] Hatred, hostility, indifference, neutrality, friendliness, intimacy, and friendship. The game did not contain the setting of love. However, Char¡¯s personal experience had proven that any female NPC could sleep with players who were friends or above and unlock more positions when they had a full lover. He could not tell if he was a player or an NPC. In short, there was no quantitative measurement, but this objective rule existed. Ortlinde¡¯s reputation was one of the most difficult to farm. Of course, if he focused on her, he could defeat her even before the final battle. However, that would increase the difficulty of the final battle. The Holy Son would be impure and lose much immunity. However, this time, Char did not try to woo her. He helped her get the Holy Sword, Narshil, before they broke through to become close friends. It was obvious that she was extremely disappointed in him because of his betrayal. However, it was fine. What would happen when she was in despair? Char licked his lips in anticipation. He was familiar with every inch of this Valkyrie¡¯s skin and had seen all kinds of her appearances, but he had never seen how dazzling she was when she was in a desperate situation. He kicked Zin¡¯rokh. ¡°Read.¡± The Destroyer of Worlds remembered its identity, flapped its wings, and hovered in the air slowly. He spoke with his deep voice. ¡°I was filled with pity and destroyed those incurable living beings, leaving behind a spark of hope¡­ ¡°But the destruction of the other world and your hostility made me understand that¡­ ¡°As long as someone is concerned about the past, they will not accept the future¡­ ¡°So this time, I will grant you an equal death¡­ ¡°All things come from the abyss and will eventually return to the abyss.¡± With every sentence he said, the black gas in the nest rose by a little. When he finished his lines, darkness had completely enveloped the entire nest, not even letting Char off. Only Ortlinde, who was holding the Holy Sword, was left struggling. Narshil¡¯s light was suppressed to the extreme. Finally, with the girl¡¯s desperate cry, the light suddenly bloomed! In an instant, Char¡¯s vision was covered by an aurora. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful¡­¡± He mumbled and then fell into darkness. *** [Beep! Beep! Beep!] [Notice! Notice!] [Fantasy World V1.177.0 Beta testing is over. Deleting data¡­] [Data removal completed. Beta testing begins. We wish you a pleasant game.] *** Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 2. Beta Testing? Char was awoken by the chirping of birds outside the window. After waking up, he opened the interface. [Character: Char] [Race: Half-elf] [Status: Level 1 Commoner] [HP: 100/100 ] [Mana: N/A] Attributes: [Strength: 5] [Agility: 5] [Vitality: 5] [Intelligence: 5] [Perceptive sense: 5] [Charm: 5 ] His level was reset to zero, and his backpack was empty. The collected items and artifacts had also returned to their respective places. They were waiting for Char to collect them again. They were like the concubines waiting for the king in ancient times. In short, a brand new beginning was presented before Char. ¡°The 177th round of beta testing is over? Since it had ended, it was likely that Ortlinde had killed Zin¡¯rokh with her sword. He had finally seen her. How beautiful¡­ It was a pity that Ortlinde was no longer human in that state, but a God. It seemed that the Holy Sword, Narshil, was not a good thing either. It forcefully implanted a divine persona into its user. Poor Ortlinde, I thought it was the best ending, but it turned out to be a true ending. It¡¯s better for her to be the fallen Valkyrie¡­¡± He mumbled to himself as he lay down and stretched. ¡°177th rounds¡­¡± Char sighed. He had been trapped in this game by a mysterious force for a long time, so long that he could not remember the time. Therefore, he used the number of times the closed beta reset the data as a record. 177th rounds. Every time, he would start from this bed in the small wooden house as a commoner. He would become a hero and level up by killing monsters step by step. After seven information sheets, he would cross 20 to 30 years without stopping. Finally, he would kill Zin¡¯rokh with his own hands and end it. From the beginning to the end, he was the only one. It was an online game, but it felt like a single-player game. At first, Char was very excited. He had such a large open world to herself, and he could randomly attack NPCs, hunt bosses everywhere, and collect divine equipment. How great! This was a paradise for him! After ten rounds, Char could no longer be happy. He started to realize that this was a cage, not a paradise. He began to get tired of everything and became passive. He did not want to save the world or be a hero. All day long, he flirted with other people¡¯s wives and the village chief¡¯s daughter in the novice village. He also played with the female NPCs that he did not pay attention to in the past when he was busy leveling up. He even became the village chief because of this and deliberately put on a bad show for the system. Then, the world was destroyed by demons. He had escaped his responsibility, but he had not escaped his fate. The feeling of having a bad ending was very unpleasant, so starting from the 12th round, no matter what, Char would level up to a certain level before starting to travel the world. Fortunately, ¡°Fantasy World¡± was big enough. There were humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, underground demons, dark elves, cavemen¡­ There were many different races, and each of them had its own culture. There were beautiful women and different stories that he could not get tired of. Char gradually washed away his impetuousness and focused on the vast world of the game. He had experienced 177 rounds of beta testing and lived 177 different lives, which added up to thousands of years. Even the most omniscient scholar in the game would be crushed by him in terms of knowledge. Fortunately, if it was not for the huge capacity of ¡°Fantasy World¡±, he would have gone crazy long ago. Even so, Char was slowly losing himself in the game. What was he? He had the interface and could check the system notifications. He could kill monsters, level up, and wear equipment. After he died, he could even climb out of his grave. Was he a player? However, even if he could not log out, he could still make the NPC¡¯s favorability more than that of a friend, surpassing the limit of data. Was he an NPC? Obviously not. He had never seen an NPC that could resurrect infinitely. Was it a virus? Why was the virus not deleted during the beta testing? Instead, it was preserved. Beta testing should be able to spot the virus and delete it, right? Char would ask himself every time after a round of testing, and then shake his head with a bitter smile. There was no answer to his question. Soon, he would not think about it anymore. ¡°The 178th round of beta testing has begun!¡± Char encouraged himself. What should he play this time¡­ However, regardless of what kind of job and skill combination he used in the future, he still had to sell swords, arrows, and staffs in the novice village. Just like a MOBA video game, no matter how magnificent the team battle in the later stage was, the early stage always started with the last hit. He had reincarnated too many times, and it had already become his personal challenge to maximize the use of the novice village¡¯s resources to get to the fastest start, just like the time record when he had soloed Zin¡¯rokh. People always had to have some pursuits. Otherwise, they would become more and more useless as they lived, and eventually fall into oblivion. He pushed the door open and saw Miss Ksenja, who had just given birth, hanging a blanket on the rope. Char stepped forward to help her, careful not to touch her. ¡°Thank you, Brother Char,¡± said Ksenja as she clutched her chest. She was wearing an old round-neck woolen sweater. She had an exquisite baby face and a voluptuous figure. She had a youthful face and huge breasts, but after marriage, she had the mature and full temperament of a wife. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Char smiled and kept a distance between them. Ksenja seemed to be a weak wife, but she was actually one of the few former adventurers in the novice village. Moreover, she was not a priest who could heal her allies. She was a Level 14 swordswoman with a fiery temper. If they were to bump into her, they would be mistaken for taking advantage of her, and their favorability would drop. Her husband, Enke Wester, was a handsome blonde priest. He was currently sleeping soundly with a lady in his arms. Ever since Ksenja was pregnant, Wester had been cheating on her. He was simply a mortal enemy, and his wife had never suspected him because she was too naive. ¡°Mrs. Wester,¡± Char said directly, ¡± Mr. Wester didn¡¯t return last night, am I right?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Ksenja was stunned. He had gone through this process countless times, so he knew what she was going to say next. Char was just about to speak when Ksenja laughed. ¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve also heard the story of the wandering heroes, haven¡¯t you?¡± Eh? Char was stunned for a few seconds. Her lines had changed? Wandering heroes? A new plot? ¡°The wandering heroes¡­ What heroes?¡± He muttered. ¡°The guards brought back more than a dozen injured heroes last night. They are being treated in the monastery. They seem to have been blessed by the gods. Their bodies are recovering very quickly. They are expected to wake up this morning. Enke stayed in the monastery all night to help them¡­¡± Before Ksenja could finish her sentence, there were hurried footsteps and a conversation behind Char. ¡°Is this the place? The priest asked us to send flowers to his wife, and from what he said, we can get a free healing spell.¡± ¡°That priest¡¯s wife?¡± ¡°Why is there a person in front of her? Is he a player or an NPC? There¡¯s someone faster than us?¡± ¡°He seems to be looking over. Shh, lower your voice. He seems to be able to hear us¡­¡± ¡­ Char looked at the three people who were wearing the same beginner¡¯s clothing as him. They were all wearing the same clothes and deerskin boots¡­ Their footsteps were light, and their eyes were filled with curiosity¡­ Char had never seen them before! Who were they? New players? Char could not help but tremble! They were new players! There was finally some living people in this damn game! He wanted to laugh. He wanted to laugh and curse at the same time because he was excited. Finally, he had finally escaped from this damned beta testing cycle. He had gone through 177 rounds of tests, and his life had been overturned and restarted 177 times. There was finally a change in his character, and he saw a chance to escape from this damn video game! How could he not be excited? His previous testings had allowed him to know the hobbies of all the ladies in the game and the fastest way to flirt with every beautiful NPC in the game. He knew every enemy¡¯s weakness and skills, and he knew the origin and whereabouts of every divine weapon¡­ He had saved the world 176 times and had been a savior and a villain. Even all the scholars added together would not be as knowledgeable as him¡­ However! He had forgotten what his name was. Was Char his real name or a nickname? Where was he from? Where were his parents? What year was it outside? What was ¡°Fantasy World¡± all about? How did he get in? Could he be saved in the truest sense? He did not know anything. He did not even know what he was. A player? A piece of data? As long as he went up to the guys and asked them, he might be able to get an answer immediately. However, it was impossible at the moment. Not now. From this moment on, these were all taboo. He wanted to find the answer himself. The NPCs in ¡°Fantasy World¡± were like living people, and the 177 lives here were also valuable life experiences. Although they were out of touch with normal people, the general principles were the same. Char would not easily trust any stranger, be it players or NPCs. When he was young, he had been tricked by elite monsters several times, but later on, he was able to trick the elite monsters into giving him good equipment. He was a lot stronger than the first time he played this game. This was the only time he had lost his composure, and it would also be his last. He would not lose his composure again. ¡°Brother Char?¡± Ksenja waved her hand in front of him. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry, I was distracted.¡± Char quickly recovered and bowed slightly. ¡°Is there anything else I can help you with?¡± ¡°Um¡­ Yes, pass me my sword,¡± Ksenja said with a smile. Char smiled as well. Ksenja was furious because of the lecherous gazes of the three new players! Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 3. Ksenja ¡®Don¡¯t treat the NPCs as NPCs¡­¡¯ This was the lesson Char had learned not long after his first beta testing The NPCs in ¡°Fantasy World¡± were indeed exactly the same as humans, except that they could not understand terms like ¡°system¡± and ¡°player¡±, and that they would be constantly reset by the system. That was why Ksenja was angry. Even though Ksenja was a swordswoman with a hot body, she was very pure. As pure as she was, she was easily deceived by the priest with a few words. After she got pregnant, she lived in the novice village and would continue to live there. Except for her husband, she always seemed to be polite to others, but in fact, she always kept a distance from them. Once someone tried to approach her, she would serve them with her sword without saying a word. At the moment, the three players had not jumped out of their usual RPG mindset. At most, they realized that they had to watch their words in front of the NPC, but their eyes and movements were not restrained at all. They were looking at Ksenja¡¯s chest with a perverted look, probably thinking about how to take advantage of her later. Char laughed in his heart. He carried a rusty iron broadsword from the backyard and leaned it against the wooden block where the clothes basin was placed. ¡°Thank you~ Stand further away.¡± Ksenja gave him a mesmerizing wink and lifted her head. Even though she had just given birth, her figure did not go out of shape. On the contrary, she looked more mature. She looked at the three people who were approaching quietly. ¡°Is it Mrs. Wester? Mr. Wester asked me to send you these flowers. He¡¯s busy taking care of the wounded heroes and has no time to take care of you. If there¡¯s anything we can help you with, please let us know. It¡¯s our honor to serve you.¡± The leader probably noticed that the NPC was different from the rest, so he thought about his lines. He wanted to explain his purpose for coming and find a way to trigger the subsequent mission. To have this kind of awareness as soon as the game started, it was obvious that he had played many games before. However, his actions were different. Not only were his eyes darting around, but he was also too close to Ksenja. He brought the flowers to her with both hands, wishing he could stuff his hands into the collar of her sweater. ¡°He¡¯s so hungry. Haven¡¯t you seen a woman in reality¡­¡± Char chuckled and rushed over to hit the guy with the broadsword before she made a move. The broadsword that was half the size of a door was like a wild beast that had lost control. It rushed into the crowd, and the three of them immediately dispersed. 5 points of strength were not enough to control this sword, but in ¡°Fantasy World¡±, as long as you could lift it, you could use it. It just depended on how you performed. Char was already used to using heavy weapons like this. He put all his strength into maintaining the direction and accuracy and swung it based on inertia. ¡°What the f*ck?¡± The three of them were forced to retreat, and they cursed Char. Players were not allowed to talk in the game, and neither was Char. However, Char took action immediately. He waved his broadsword like a madman and rushed at them again. It looked like he would hit the tree if he was careless, but he was actually very stable. If they were really going to fight a boss in real life, Char would have to think about it. However, against a newbie who was not familiar with ¡°Fantasy World¡±, even if there were ten of them, they would still be able to fight. ¡°F*ck! Are you out of your mind? Where did this guy get his weapon?¡± The leader did not even have time to care about the flowers. He threw it on the ground and ran away. The three of them had just logged in, and other than the 50 copper coins in their bags, they had nothing else. Seeing Char¡¯s ferocious aura, they were scared out of their wits. No one wanted to die a virgin in the novice village. It would be so embarrassing. After chasing the three of them away, Char snorted and dragged the sword back to the wooden block. Ksenja quickly came over to take the sword. Char wanted to drag the broadsword, but she picked it up with one hand. As expected of a swordswoman with 25 points of strength¡­ ¡°What are you doing? I didn¡¯t ask you to help. You¡¯re so weak¡­¡± She grumbled as she looked up and down to see if Char was hurt. ¡°I can do it myself¡± Char smiled shyly, like a shy boy. ¡°But why?¡± ¡°They are brave heroes who have been taken in by the village chief. They are most likely here to do something for the village. If you were to fight with them, what would the others say? It¡¯s probably very difficult for the village chief to handle it, so I¡¯ll handle this kind of thing. If there are any consequences, just let me bear them.¡± Ksenja was not stupid, but she hated complicated things like this. She understood what Char meant the moment she said it, and her favorability toward Char increased. However, she still snorted in a disdainful manner and ruffled Char¡¯s hair. ¡°Ugh¡­ You should be careful. If they dare to bully you, remember to come to find me and Enke.¡± Unless there was a major change in favorability, there would be no notification. Furthermore, there was no such thing as madly giving gifts to people so that their favorability would increase to the max in a day. These were all living people! It was because he was human that he could be moved by words. Char suddenly broke free from Ksenja¡¯s grasp and took half a step back with a determined attitude. ¡°Hey¡­ Why are you¡­¡± ¡°Regarding Mr. Wester, I actually have something to tell you.¡± Char mustered up his courage. ¡°He cheated on you.¡± ¡°What?¡± Ksenja¡¯s expression froze, but she recovered in an instant. She stared at him warily, as if she was about to draw her sword and cut him. ¡°Why did you slander my husband?¡± Char shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t. Since four months ago, he¡¯s been staying out all night. He said he was working in the monastery, but in fact, he was working in the tavern, just in disguise. Miss Sonya from the tavern knows about this, but she won¡¯t tell you the truth. The village head also knew about it, but he chose to help Mr. Wester hide it because he was worried that you would leave the village. After all, there are still monsters around the village.¡± Ksenja was silent. She had actually noticed that something was not right, but her trust in her husband made her choose not to doubt it. Since Char had presented the evidence to her, she could not help but believe it. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°You want to ask me how do I know all this, right? I have a way to prove myself, but not now,¡± Char explained before Ksenja could speak. Like the players, he was also a hero who had wandered here. He had stayed in the village for a week and established a friendly relationship with most of the people. However, evidence had to be created, and Char was just telling the truth to her. ¡°You want to know my motive, don¡¯t you?¡± Char spread his hands helplessly. ¡°You should remember that four years ago, you passed by Penthaz Town, which was destroyed by the monsters, right?¡± Ksenja nodded. She had never mentioned this to anyone else, and only her husband knew about it in the village. ¡°The town was wiped out by the monsters. You rescued a thirteen-year-old child from a collapsed house. However, your team was in a hurry at that time, and the kid was seriously injured. You guys had time to leave some food and water before leaving¡­ That was me. I was the kid.¡± Ksenja¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You¡­ You survived?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve survived.¡± Char smiled from the bottom of his heart. In fact, no one knew if the child was still alive or not. He was most likely dead, but Char knew about it, and Ksenja told him about it herself. After he had completely conquered Ksenja, she would admit that it was the most guilty thing in her life. She would never forget the child¡¯s eyes of hope and despair. Every time Char pretended to be the kid, Ksenja¡¯s attitude would change. Of course, this was also a one-time piece of information. It was fine for one person to impersonate the kid, but when the second and third person used the same strategy to try and conquer Ksenja, she would know and probably draw her sword to kill them. The fates of the characters in the game were intertwined, especially the small characters that no one paid attention to. Sometimes, a sentence or a piece of information was enough to make the favorability of the person drastically change, but unfortunately, most of the clues were not paid attention to. Even if they were paid attention to, they could not be used because of the time span. However, this was not a problem for Char at all! Sure enough, after hearing this, Ksenja¡¯s attitude changed drastically. She found it hard to believe, but she believed him because only she and her husband knew about this. ¡°No, did he spill the beans when he was drunk?¡± She was still on guard. ¡°You left three pieces of black bread, two bags of water, and even helped me wipe my face. The bread is yours, the water is for you and Enke. No one else was willing to help, so Enke was the only one who helped. You even told me that everything would get better. With this, I managed to hold on for a week until the rescue team¡­¡± The more details he told her, the less guarded Ksenja became. In the end, her eyes were wet. A drunk person would not be able to describe such details, but she remembered them clearly! She reached out with a trembling hand, trying to touch Char¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m very sorry¡­ I left you behind at that time¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Char held her hand and shook her head with a smile. ¡°No, Miss Ksenja, you don¡¯t have to blame yourself. It¡¯s enough that the Seven Holy Spirits allowed you to transform into an angel and come before me so that I could live, and then let me meet you again. I¡¯ve also found a chance to repay you. I¡¯ll provide evidence to expose that scumbag¡¯s true colors. Please be patient.¡± He kissed the back of Ksenja¡¯s hand and turned to leave the room. [Ksenja¡¯s favorability toward you has increased.] Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 4. Player During the beta testing, the experience points were tripled, regardless of whether it was for farming monsters or doing quests. The best record Char had was Swordsman (Level 14) and Nightingale (Level 13), along with a full set of forged equipment and an ancient magic longsword. Even so, it still took him half a month. It seemed like for the open beta testing, there would not be any triple benefits. It would take him more time to farm, so he was not in a hurry at all. In the long reincarnation, he increasingly understood the core gameplay of this game. The more he treated it as a game, the more he would lose. Only when he truly integrated into the world would the rewards be everywhere. Quests, rewards, and equipment were all low-quality items. Human communication was the most important thing in the game. Before the players could dominate the situation, they were all NPCs. Char wanted to target Ksenja from the very beginning. After they became friends, he could bring this level 14 swordsman along to do quests. She could bring her own equipment as well. Although it was not enough to bring her out of the village, it would be much more efficient for her to bring a level 1 newbie around. Of course, the players who had joined the game would not understand these principles. They would have to slowly figure it out. Char had only taken two steps when the three brothers appeared again. ¡°Hey, what did you mean by that?¡± The leader was aggressive, and the three of them had rolling pins in their hands. They were obviously here to make trouble. ¡°You must have bought it from Jim in the bakery. Did he also say that his rolling pin was very strong and that it had once killed a magical rabbit outside the village?¡± Char laughed. The three of them looked at each other. ¡°How did you know?¡± Char did not answer and continued, ¡°There are 50 copper coins in the beginner¡¯s bag. It¡¯s best to use it to rent a house in the early stages. Unless you want to sleep on the grass in the middle of the night. During the early stages of the game, the worst thing to worry about is a lack of supplies. If you¡¯ve got a house, your natural recovery speed is three times faster.¡± After he finished speaking, he returned to the main topic. ¡°As for what happened just now, I was trying to save you. Mrs. Wester is a Level 14 swordswoman. With one strike, the three of you will be left with only skin and bones. Even if you can recover, you¡¯ll have to meditate for a day and a night to be fully recovered. What¡¯s the difference between that and wasting an entire day?¡± The three of them were stunned, and the hostility in their eyes was gone. The leader hesitated for a moment before he asked, ¡°Why did she want to hit us?¡± ¡°If you get too close to a beautiful woman on the street and stare at her chest for three seconds. Do you think she¡¯ll call the police?¡± ¡°But¡­ She¡¯s an NPC¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with an NPC? Would an NPC lie to you to buy a stick that¡¯s good for nothing?¡± Char patted the shoulder of the leader. ¡°Change your way of thinking. Don¡¯t underestimate this game.¡± The two of them brushed past each other. Char had only taken two steps when he heard footsteps behind him. ¡°Please wait!¡± The leader caught up with them and gave them a friendly smile. ¡°Hi, my name¡¯s Air Conditioner. This is my friend. Instant Cold Drink and Boiled Brandy. I¡¯m sorry for what happened just now. Can we be friends?¡± Char realized that adding friends was possible, but he did not know how to do it, so he simply nodded. He had already acted so coldly so that they would probably take the initiative. He did not know what did Air Conditioner do, but a few seconds later, he heard a notification sound. [Player: Air Conditioner has requested to be your friend.] It had been thousands of years! ¡®Finally, a living person has added me as a friend!¡¯ Char sighed with emotion. He accepted the request, opened the system settings, and found the new social button. He turned off all the social notifications and was content to be an autistic player. ¡°Were you an expert player in some gaming community?¡± Air Conditioner asked carefully. ¡°I¡¯m just a normal player,¡± Char replied. ¡°I see¡­¡± Everyone started from the same starting line. No ordinary person could have so much information on the first day of the game. Hence, Air Conditioner exchanged a few glances with the other two before they sent a trade request to Char. Char accepted the request. Seeing a trade window for the first time, he was as excited as a child. There were 90 copper coins on it, which were the leftovers from the three of them. ¡°You¡¯ve already given me the money, so what are you going to do?¡± Char asked him. However, Air Conditioner smiled indifferently. ¡°In our hands, this money is less than the rent of two rooms. But in your hands, it may be able to offset the value of this information.¡± Awesome! Char felt that this was an interesting person and clicked ¡°Accept¡±. Air Conditioner was right. If Char could earn more money in the beginning, it would be a little more convenient for him. After taking benefits from them, he still had to give something back to them. ¡°The shepherd in the West of the village lost a sheep. Mrs. Wester has just given birth, but she doesn¡¯t have enough milk. You can find a way to get some milk for her. She can teach you [Power Slash],¡± Char said. ¡°You even know that she doesn¡¯t have enough milk?¡± Air Conditioner was dumbfounded. ¡°Yup¡­¡± Char smiled subtly. Of course, Ksenja did not tell him that¡­ After the simple exchange, both parties went their separate ways. ¡­ There were many more people in the novice village, but they were easy to distinguish. They could be seen at a glance as players. Most of them were like flies, but there were also some who noticed that something was wrong. They restrained themselves and talked to the NPCs to obtain information. Everything Char told the three guys came from the NPCs. They could find the information themselves, but it was a different matter whether they understood it or not. Char did not go to the village chief¡¯s place to join in the fun. After becoming a village chief, the system would give him a buff called [Eye of Insight]. It could see through a character¡¯s class and level, so the village chief would not even look at you before your combat class reached level 10. He spent 5 copper coins to hitch a ride on an ox cart. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the tavern on the other side of the village. This place was quite far from the center of the village, so there were not many players. It was morning, so the tavern was temporarily closed. Char picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the window, shattering it. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± A tall figure knocked the door open and came out. The two-meter tall red-haired Barbarian, Sonya, was the tavern owner. The Barbarian was a resident of the Northern Red Grasslands, which was occupied by monsters. Her parents had fled here and opened this bar, which sold a very popular blood grain malt wine. Sonya was born with large shoulders and a round waist. A human could stand on her arms, and a horse could run on her shoulders. She was the only person in this novice village who could match Ksenja evenly. In her eyes, the weak blonde priest was a beauty. According to the iron rule of the grasslands, only the strong could have a wife. That was why she could watch Ksenja marry the priest and have children. If it was any other woman, she would have already taken action! It was also because of this that Sonya would not take the initiative to expose the affair of the priest. In her eyes, it was a disgrace to Ksenja, and she was happy about it. Sonya saw that there was only one person standing outside the door and immediately rushed over. ¡°Did you do this?¡± Barbarians never brushed their teeth or gargled, so their breath was harmful. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me,¡± Char replied, not frightened by the giant lady at all. Of course, Sonya was not on his list, but he had fought alongside this female Barbarian before, so he was very familiar with her temperament. The more straightforward he was, the better. He threw out a silver coin that he had just exchanged it for 100 copper coins. ¡°This is for your window and I¡¯ll hire you for half an hour.¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± Sonya raised her eyebrows. ¡°Follow me.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 5. F*ck Her! Half an hour was too short. From the location of the tavern, they could only walk to a place with less monsters in the wild. They would run out of time before they could kill a few monsters. A silver coin could do a lot of things in the early stages. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like a good deal. No one would believe Char¡¯s real plan even if he told them. He had hired Sonya to beat people up. Moreover, he wanted her to beat up some NPCs. ¡­ The two of them arrived at the west side of the village, and the Guard Captain, Marden, who was patrolling, happened to be there. Of course, this was because Char had calculated the time. The Barbarian, Sonya, was not very popular in the village because her skin color, body shape, and accent were out of place with the local people. She was also stubborn. The reason she could stay was that her blood grain malt wine was too popular, and the village was too lacking in combat power. Under the insistence of the village chief, the Barbarian stayed. However, this did not mean that Marden would be polite to her. On the contrary, Marden secretly looked down on the Barbarians, and even hated them. The gap between the two would only be revealed after they entered the town. There was a record in the town¡¯s archives, and Marden¡¯s origin was written on it. Marden¡¯s grandfather used to be a lumberjack in the town. He was unlucky enough to encounter Barbarian bandits while working outside the town, and his head was chopped off and put on a human rack as a provocation to the town guards. Marden¡¯s father had witnessed this scene with his own eyes and thus passed on his hatred for the Barbarians to his son. Therefore, even though Sonya had nothing to do with the Barbarian bandits, Marden still hated her. He hated everyone who had bronze skin, thick eyebrows, braids, and tall bodies. Therefore, when he saw Sonya approaching, he instinctively clenched his weapon and put on a vigilant posture, which was usually only used against monsters. However, Marden did not make a move. He did not make a move, but that did not mean Char would do the same. Char pointed. ¡°Hit him, but don¡¯t kill him.¡± The simple and direct order was to Sonya¡¯s liking. She really liked this skinny human too much. The Barbarian laughed and rushed toward Marden. Marden realized that something was wrong and drew his sword to slash at her. Sonya took off the four-edged mace on her back and smashed it at Marden with a loud cry! ¡°Bang¡± Marden was sent flying with his sword, and he crashed into a tree. The other guards were stunned for a moment, and their imposing manner was significantly reduced. They had always heard that Sonya was very strong, but now that they had seen it with their own eyes, how could they dare to fight her? All of them were trembling. Sonya could not care less. She had long found this group of people to be an eyesore. In the name of protecting the village, the guards had been bullying her for a long time. ¡°Barbarian pig, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Marden, who was injured, came back and waved the long sword in his hand. Although he was a man, he was only a level 11 Militia, while Sonya was a level 13 Berserker. Not to mention the difference between a half combat profession and a pure combat profession, just the difference in numbers alone would be sufficient. Hence, how could Marden be her match? After some time, all of them were beaten to the ground. Char was watching from the side. It was easy to hire an NPC, but it was difficult to hire an NPC to fight an NPC. It all depended on who the player was. If it was someone else, she would not have hit them. She was a Barbarian, but she was not a b*tch. She knew that he would not be able to survive if she attacked. However, it was a different story since Marden was the target. It was not the first time he had called her ¡°Barbarian pig¡±. Every time they met in the village, this person would call her that. He even said that all Barbarians deserved to die and that her blood grain malt wine was brewed with human blood. However, he was the village¡¯s Guard Captain, and Sonya could not do anything to him. She had been holding her anger in for a long time. Now that Char had taken the lead, she had a chance to vent her anger and even get paid, so how could she reject it? After a round of beating, Marden and the other seven guards could no longer stand up. The villagers who had witnessed this scene rushed to the village chief to call the police, but Char did not stop them. ¡°Damn!¡± Sonya pounded her chest like a mother gorilla. ¡°How much longer?¡± She asked. ¡°40 minutes,¡± Char replied. Hearing this answer, Sonya was only stunned for a second and did not refute him. ¡°Alright, 40 minutes it is.¡± 40 minutes was her limit, which was what Char had tested after several failures. If one looked deeper into it, they would find that this was a coincidence in design, exquisite beyond compare. 40 minutes was just enough for them to get to a place related to Captain Marden. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Char said. The two of them left the village one after another. 35 minutes later. On the west side of the village, they had already entered the demonic forest. After making a few turns, even Sonya became serious. Once their employment relationship ended, she would immediately abandon Char and leave without hesitation. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Char stopped in a strange hexagonal open space. Sonya looked at him warily, knowing that he would hurt her if she did anything wrong. The Barbarian would keep her promise under the premise that her life was not in danger. Char gestured for her to calm down, and then gave her a Barbarian¡¯s chest thump. ¡°In the name of my father, please trust me. ¡°My blood is your blood.¡± Then, he stretched out his hand. Sonya was stunned for a second before she pulled out a knife from her boot. She cut Char¡¯s finger and smeared the blood on her lips. [Due to the contract, Sonya¡¯s favorability toward you has temporarily increased to intimate (Effective time: 5 minutes).] [Due to the contract, all the damage that Sonya takes will be transferred to you for the next 5 minutes.] This was the contract ceremony of the Barbarian. It would only be used in large areas when they were deep into the territory of level 60 monsters in the grassland. ¡°No matter what you see or hear from now on, please believe that I won¡¯t harm you,¡± Char said. Sonya nodded, stabbed the mace into the ground, and sat down cross-legged. Char turned around in satisfaction and shouted into the air, ¡± ¡°In the silent night, all things withered and death will return. ¡°When the black rain falls, everything falls, including the moon, and all living beings wail. ¡°In the night of the waning moon, all living beings wail, all things perish! ¡°Milolo Lux, I¡¯ve brought the living sacrifice you wanted!¡± After a moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the rotten forest, even though it was daytime. The leaves rustled, and the crows circled above their heads. A thin and shriveled figure holding a walking stick staggered out of the darkness. Her body was surrounded by black gas, and with every step she took, the black gas on his body faded a little. By the time she arrived in front of the two, she had already completely turned into a thin old woman. Her body was hunched, and she was leaning on a white bone staff. Her face was covered in blood-stained bandages, and only her eyes could be seen. ¡°You¡¯re not my servant. Who are you¡­¡± ¡°The servant of a servant, the minion of a minion.¡± Char bowed slightly, showing great respect. The servant was Marden. The Guard Captain, who had buried his hatred deep in his heart, had been corrupted when he went out three months ago. Since then, a guard had mysteriously disappeared from the village every month, and they were all sent to be sacrifices. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re very outstanding, kid¡­¡± She said. Milolo Lux looked at Sonya greedily. She could feel her blood and flesh. She did not suspect there was a trap waiting for her because ordinary people could not find this place at all, and normal people did not know about the spell as well. Suddenly, she heard an order from behind her. ¡°F*ck her!¡± Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 6. How Dare You Come Back, Char! The scene was extremely bloody, and the jungle witches were all killed. Brain matter and blood splattered everywhere. Milolo Lux was a level 12 Elite Witch. If he really wanted to fight with her, he would need at least five combat professions of the same level to work together to defeat her. However, if she was caught off guard, a single blow from Sonya would be enough. She was a level 13 berserker with strength two points higher than Ksenja. The battle had ended in a blink of an eye. Of course, if Char won the battle with the help of the NPCs, he would not be able to gain any experience points. He would not be able to get a single cent of the loot from Sonya either. However, Char was not interested in the spoils of war that the witch had. ¡°Take your spoils of war. We¡¯re heading back,¡± Char said. He must emphasize ¡°your spoils of war¡±. Otherwise, Sonya might just leave Char alone and run away. After all, the contract had ended, and so had the employment. He still had to rely on Sonya to bring him back. Sure enough, Sonya¡¯s mood brightened when she heard Char¡¯s emphasis. She picked up the bits and pieces of the witch¡¯s body from the pile of minced meat and brain matter, wiped them on the ground, and wrapped them in her coat. ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± ¡­ The villagers were already waiting at the entrance. Sonya¡¯s reputation in the novice village had hit rock bottom after the incident. Even Ksenja, who had rushed over after hearing the news, was still skeptical regarding this issue. Enke Wester tried to hug his wife, but she glared at him coldly. He had no choice but to stand with the village chief. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what was wrong. Other than the NPCs, there were also players who had come to watch the show. ¡°Did you hear about it? Someone brought an NPC and beat up the Marden.¡± ¡°Was it a player or an NPC?¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably a grudge between NPCs¡­ How can a player be so crazy?¡± As the crowd discussed among themselves, Jojo and the other two who had successfully exchanged the goat¡¯s milk for [Power Slash] noticed the shock in their companions¡¯ eyes. ¡®Were they talking about Char?¡¯ They had a feeling that it was Char again. To everyone¡¯s attention, the main character appeared. ¡°How dare you come back here?¡± Marden, who was wrapped in bandages, said angrily. Enke¡¯s healing had saved his life. His face was swollen, but he was able to speak. After that, more than 20 guards stepped forward and formed a human wall, blocking Char and Sonya from entering the village. ¡°You¡¯re not welcome here, Char,¡± The village chief said sternly as he looked at Sonya for a moment. ¡°As for you, you can continue to live here, but you have to shoulder the responsibility of fighting the demons.¡± Sonya glared at Marden like a winner, and the latter was so angry that he stomped his feet. ¡°Sir¡­¡± The village chief glared at him, and Marden stopped making a scene ¡°Before we decide to banish you, please leave the village, Char. You can go to other villages,¡± The village chief said. The guards all looked over, and the players present also looked at them with interest, whispering to each other. ¡°Is this guy crazy? How did he do that¡­¡± ¡°But how did he manage to hire that Barbarian? Can he hire an NPC? She looks so strong, she can beat ten of me¡­¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s some hidden mission, but he messed it up.¡± ¡­ Char bowed to the village chief in gratitude and said, ¡°Thank you for your kindness, village chief. However, before I leave, please allow me to say something.¡± ¡°No matter what, your act of hurting people won¡¯t be forgiven! Get lost!¡± A man shouted. Char ignored him and walked straight to Sonya. ¡°For the sake of our past battles, can I borrow your spoils of war for a moment?¡± Sonya agreed to help him. She opened the cloth bag and the smell of blood wafted out. Char took out a bloody bell and gave Marden a friendly smile. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Marden roared at Char. ¡°I just thought of something happy.¡± Char shook the bell. Marden¡¯s body stiffened, and he stood up straight like a doll with his head tilted. This was the witch¡¯s control over him. ¡°Turn around and hit him,¡± Char ordered. As soon as he finished speaking, Marden turned around in a daze and threw a punch at Enke¡¯s face! His wrist, which was already fractured, tilted at a terrible angle. It was so painful that tears kept falling, but strangely, he could not make a sound. Char rang the bell again ¡°Go on.¡± Marden could not control his body, and he chased after Enke, who was already on the ground. He raised his fist but was stopped by Ksenja. ¡°Char!¡± Ksenja glared at him, and Char stopped helplessly. However, at the same time, he glared back at her as if he was complaining about her actions. As a result, Ksenja avoided his gazes with a guilty conscience. ¡°Back off!¡± Char ordered. Marden did as he was told. Char threw the bell on the ground and spread out his hands. ¡°Well, you¡¯re a wise man, aren¡¯t you, village chief? So you should understand what this means, right?¡± Others might not know the story behind the village chief, but he knew it very well. Strictly speaking, he was not a human. He was a puppet created by the church in the long history of fighting against monsters. He was full of wisdom and as hard as iron. He would not have prejudice or selfish desires, and he would always maintain justice. However, he lacked human touch as well. During the 11th round of beta testing, which was also the only time Char had a bad ending, he had suggested a head-to-head fight with him to become the village chief. After losing Char, the village chief committed suicide. However, before that, he left the information he had collected to Char and taught him how to be a good village chief. The village chief walked to Enke¡¯s side and helped him up. ¡°Use [Purification] on Captain Marden.¡± Enke did not dare to delay even a moment as he opened his toothless mouth and finished the incantation in a leaking accent. A milky white light landed on Marden¡¯s body. He trembled and a wisp of black gas emerged from his body. It turned into a ghostly face in mid-air and screamed loudly. This thing was exactly the same as the ¡°Egg of Chaos¡± in Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s place. The village chief placed two fingers on his temple and glared at the black gas. Two beams of white light came out of his eyes and shot at it. Marden then fell limply to the ground. Now that the truth was spoken, Char had suddenly turned from a villain to a hero who had saved the village. Although the militia still looked at him with some resistance, there was faint respect. Just by completing this hidden quest, his reputation would be enough for him to leave the village. However, he was still lacking in levels. The normal procedure was to please everyone in the village with twenty to thirty side missions. When the matter was over, everyone left and went back home. Sonya even received a reward from the village chief, who waived her a month¡¯s rent. The Barbarian came in front of Char and pounded her chest. ¡°You. Sonya¡¯s friend.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my honor,¡± Char then continued, ¡°My friend, please tell Miss Ksenja about her humiliation and let the truth come to light.¡± Even though Sonya felt that the method was rather despicable, she still did it for Char¡¯s sake. Sonya went over to Ksenja and said a few words to her. Her expression was helpless, and she was heartbroken. She wanted to argue, but Sonya pulled Enke¡¯s pants down and took out a human-skin mask from his crotch. ¡°What a disgrace.¡± She tore the mask off and spat on the ground. Sonya was not mocking Enke, but Ksenja. In her eyes, Ksenja was a strong person, so she should not be toyed with by such a weakling Of course, Ksenja also understood this, but it was difficult for her to change her emotions. Her heartbroken look made people want to protect her. Char looked at it for a while and did not care anymore. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but he had seen it too many times. He had also forgotten how many women he had conquered in his 177 reincarnations. It was difficult for him to truly invest his feelings into any woman. He knew that all of this would eventually be wiped out and forgotten, leaving him alone in this bloody system. He had thought of being a sad hero who would watch over a girl in every reincarnation and tell her the story of thousands of reincarnations. Easier said than done. He could not hold on after three or four reincarnations. As they were madly in love with each other, Char could not stand the unfamiliar feeling when the two of them met again after he reincarnated. With that, his yearning for beauty was slowly worn away. In the end, only calmness and numbness could keep him alive. He believed that he was a human, not a piece of data. At this moment, the village chief walked over. Char turned around as he met the village chief¡¯s calm gaze. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 7. New thing ¡°Thank you for your contribution to the village, Char. As a reward, you can choose from my¡­¡± ¡°I choose [Mission Assignment Order],¡± Char answered instantly. The other two items were coupons to buy a few items for free and a tax reduction order that could greatly increase the favorability of NPCs. Char did not plan to use the latter to conquer Ksenja as it was useless. ¡°Alright, this is yours now.¡± The village chief took out a yellow exclamation mark signage and handed it to Char. In the previous closed beta version, he could use this signage to gather a group of NPCs to enter the dungeon. Since there were more players in the game, Char could definitely do more with the signage. ¡°Good luck, Char.¡± After the village chief finished his sentence, he turned around and left. Char¡¯s body suddenly trembled. The village chief had never said this before! Only once. He had only heard it once! During the 11th beta testing, he became the village chief, and the original village chief had said this before he committed suicide. ¡°Good luck, Char.¡± Could it be that¡­ He quickly stood in front of the village chief and stared at him nervously. ¡°Do you remember me?¡± Char¡¯s voice trembled as his eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation. Even if only one NPC remembered him, it would be sufficient. However, the village chief only smiled politely at him, just like when an NPC rejected a player who was not high enough level to strike up a conversation with him. The chief then gave way and left. Everything was normal, except for that completely unnecessary sentence. Char was stunned, and his thoughts were interrupted by a few new faces. ¡°Sir. Sir, please carry me!¡± ¡°Bro, can I be your friend?¡± ¡°Boss, are you working on a guide for this game? Can you give me a website address?¡± It was only when this information entered his mind that Char realized that she had jumped out of that cycle. It seemed that he did not just jump out. There were even some new things. He looked at the village chief¡¯s back. He could not stay calm anymore ¡°Quiet down,¡± He said. The surrounding players immediately fell silent. ¡°Do you all have weapons with you?¡± Char asked. ¡°Do you mean a shovel?¡± ¡°What about a pickaxe?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°What?¡± The last two were particularly loud, and Char could not help but look over. It was them. ¡°I¡¯ll start a quest to hunt down monsters. You can try to apply for it¡± He crushed the [Mission Assignment Order] and set the requirements as [Level: >=2. Players with their own weapons. Venue: The edge of the Rotten Forest. Mission: Kill 15 monsters/people.] After the information was set up, the system automatically generated a reward, and an exclamation mark appeared above Char¡¯s head. However, to most players, the exclamation marks they saw were gray. In the end, only five players applied for a mission, such as the three guys who had just received the [Power Slash] skill from Ksenja and had automatically changed their profession to Swordsman. Learning new skills would also bring a large amount of experience into the experience pool, and they probably invested this experience into becoming a swordsman. There was no fixed profession in ¡°Fantasy World.¡± Experience would also be accumulated in the experience pool, and you could invest in any of the professions as you wish. You could be a Swordsman, an Archer, and a Mage at the same time. However, from the third profession onwards, there would be a 25% experience penalty, the fourth would have a 50% experience penalty, and the fifth would have a 100% experience penalty. Thus, becoming a master of all classes was almost impossible. At most, Char had seven combat professions. The other two guys who joined Char¡¯s mission had probably changed their profession from Marden to Militia. Compared to Swordsman, Militia did not have passive buffs like [Swordsmanship Mastery] and [Dodge]. However, Militia had additional buffs like [Planting] and [Wood-cutting]. Their attributes gained as their levels increased. ¡°For the rest of you, I¡¯m sorry. We¡¯ll set off from here at 3 P.M. If you meet the requirements, you can still join us.¡± After Char finished speaking, the rest of the people smiled in surprise and went their separate ways, as if they were in a hurry to level up. ¡°Alright, boss,¡± Air Conditioner said, ¡°we mentioned you when we were trying to finish the mission this morning.¡± ¡°To Miss Ksenja?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Thank you.¡± ¡°Let me ask you a question.¡± One guy came up to Char. ¡°Actually, Air Conditioner wants to ask you something, but he¡¯s too shy to do so¡­ Uh, are you trying to conquer that lady?¡± Char nodded. ¡°What can you do to her if she really likes you?¡± He gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and the desire in his eyes was obvious. ¡°Can you f*ck her?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Char shrugged. ¡°But do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± ¡°I knew it was impossible.¡± The other guy interrupted, ¡°[Illusionary Workshop] told us that this game is suitable for all ages during their promotion. How can they provide their users with such experiences?¡± The Illusionary Workshop. Char remembered the name. ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true. Didn¡¯t they say that the time flow rate was 1:1000 during the closed beta for a whole year? If we take into account the game¡¯s internal and external ratio of 3:1, that means that the game time is equivalent to 3000 years. With so many advanced AI, it should be enough to generate something¡­ Why can¡¯t we think about it?¡± ¡°That makes sense.¡± Charsmiled and agreed. According to them, he had been trapped in the game for a thousand years in real time and 3000 years in game time¡­ ¡°I think you¡¯re hallucinating.¡± The guy laughed at his friend. ¡°Have you lost your imagination after being in real life for too long?¡± The two of them started quarreling. Char shook his head and bade farewell to the three of them. He quickly caught up with Ksenja. Enke Wester wanted to go back with her, but he was forced to retreat by Ksenja¡¯s cold gaze. When he turned the corner, he was knocked unconscious by Sonya, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, and he was carried back to the tavern. What followed next was a period of time where he would be trampled by Sonya. In the hundreds of reincarnations, Mr. Enke¡¯s best record was one week. However, there might be difference due to the intervention of players. Char did not greet Ksenja as he followed behind her quietly. He stomped on the ground loudly, and it was obvious that he wanted her to hear him. Ksenja pretended that she did not hear anything, and the two of them quietly made their way back to her house. She pushed the door open and entered, closing it without even looking back. Her movements were flustered as if she was afraid that Char would rush into the house. Char stood at the door and looked helplessly into the house, then turned back to look at the empty street. Finally, he sat alone on the wooden block where e had put her clothes in the morning. He sat quietly for an hour under the scorching noon sun. Ksenja was watching him from her house for a hour Then, with a creak, the door was pushed open a crack. Char turned around in confusion as he was in a loss. After a few seconds, Ksneja appeared from the crack of the door with a hint of helplessness. ¡°Come in, brat.¡± Char smiled in his heart. He once again stepped into the lady¡¯s room. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 8. That¡¯s How He Knew¡­ Char had been to this room countless times, and he was extremely familiar with every corner of the house. He did not need to push the door open to know what Ksenja was doing. She was waiting for the temperature of the boiling goat¡¯s milk to drop before she fed the baby with a spoon. Her face exuded a motherly glow, and her short hair hung down to her ears. Her side profile was as perfect as a sculpture. No matter how many times he looked at it, she was gorgeous. It was just that she was not very smart. Just like the previous reincarnations, Char only took a look at the situation inside the house and went to the well outside to get a bowl of water. He actually did not have to do that. He then placed the bottle of warm goat¡¯s milk into the well water. Previously, Ksenja had just asked him to leave it aside quietly. Ksenja¡¯s face turned red as she witnessed the scene. ¡°Has this bottle been washed?¡± Char asked. Ksenja was slightly stunned. ¡°It¡¯s clean¡­ It was previously filled with No. 8 Holy Water.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t give a baby No. 8 Holy Water either.¡± Char stood up and poured away the milk in the glass bottle. He then washed the bottle repeatedly and heated it over the fire. Ksenja opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say and could only watch him. She did not know why she let Char into the house. Perhaps she felt that she had been too strict with him, so she did it. However, he was actually completely in control of the rhythm in the room, getting busy like the real head of the family. Looking at Char, she suddenly had a feeling¡­ That she could rely on her. She felt an inexplicable sense of trust and security toward Char, and she seemed to have relaxed a lot. ¡®What am I thinking¡­¡¯ Ksenja touched her red cheeks and forcefully removed all these distracting thoughts. Half an hour later, Char returned with a warm milk bottle. Ksenja wanted to take the milk bottle away from Char, but he patted the back of her hand. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± His tone was irrefutable, and Ksenja could not do anything. She could only accept it and let him do the rest. Char gently fed the milk to the baby bit by bit. The frequency and amount were just right as if he had practiced it countless times. The amount and temperature of the milk were almost perfect. ¡°This much is good.¡± He kept the rest and said, ¡°You can stick your face to the bottle to feel the temperature of the milk. It¡¯s best not to have any leftovers. This much is alright.¡± ¡°Okay¡­ I understand!¡± Ksenja hurriedly remembered it in her heart. The baby fell into a deep sleep after having his fill. Char leaned on the side and looked at her quietly, and Ksenja also looked at him. ¡°Her name is Tifa,¡± said Ksenja. ¡°That¡¯s a really good name.¡± Char reached out and touched the baby¡¯s face. ¡°She¡¯ll grow up to be as beautiful as you.¡± Ksenja pursed her lips and laughed. ¡°You¡¯re so sweet.¡± ¡°I¡¯m serious,¡± Char said seriously. He had seen more than just little Tifa. Ksenja had a quarter of the forest fairy¡¯s blood, so her puberty was particularly long. Even she did not know about this. When the mother and daughter had their hair down, they were almost indistinguishable. Char could only tell from the touch and sound. ¡°Alright. I believe you.¡± Ksenja smiled. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said in a gentle voice, ¡°Thank you, Char.¡± Char smiled and shook his head. ¡°You can thank me later. Get ready, we¡¯re going to explore the rotten forest.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ksenja was stunned. ¡°Are you inviting me to fight alongside you? By the way, I haven¡¯t asked you what happened with Sonya. Why did she accompany you to explore the rotten forest¡­¡± ¡°Of course, I have my own ways of doing things.¡± Char pretended to be mysterious. He then explained, ¡°I¡¯ve done so much not just to let Sonya tell you the truth. In fact, I also know where the nest is, which is the source of the forest decay. I¡¯m going to take you to that place and resolve the crisis from the source. I¡¯ll make you the hero of the village so that you and little Tifa can have a safe future¡­¡± Ksenja¡¯s eyes suddenly froze when she heard him say that. Then, her heart softened a little, and her eyes turned red. Char was completely different from that man. The man would always clumsily do those things before showing off, like a child asking for a reward. ¡°Hey, why are you crying¡­¡± Char panicked and waved his hand in front of her. ¡°Don¡¯t cry¡­ Did I do something wrong?¡± When she heard Char¡¯s voice, Ksenja smiled. Her smile was filled with motherly love as she pulled him into her arms. ¡®Again, what a warm embrace.¡¯ [Ksenja¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to best friend.] In fact, she was already his best friend. Char tried to resist clumsily, but his 5 points of strength were completely useless against her 25 points of strength. In the end, he could only compromise and just hug her like that. ¡°Stay calm.¡± Ksenja¡¯s face was red as she patted his head. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± In the 177th round, Char was busy looking for the Holy Sword for Ortlinde before going to Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s nest. Due to the people from the church and the Empire, he had to design a series of complicated traps to make them believe that it was a coincidence that he helped Ortlinde find the Holy Sword. Otherwise, he would attract suspicion. As such, he was too busy and did not have the chance to visit Ksenja. For the previous hundreds of rounds, going home once a year had become one of his favorite activities. Therefore, in various senses, this was a long-lost embrace. ¡°How did you survive these past few years ¡­¡± Ksenja asked as she touched his head. ¡°I¡¯m a wandering hero, so I¡¯ll just wander around and do good things for justice¡­¡± ¡°Strange, you¡¯re so weak. Didn¡¯t the people from the church teach you anything?¡± ¡°The church isn¡¯t a charity organization. You have to sell your soul to join them. You¡¯re essentially no different from the devil.¡± Char rubbed her face against him again, changing to a more comfortable position. ¡°The Seven Holy Spirits probably couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so they pointed at me and brought me to this village, and then I met you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so sweet¡­¡± Ksenja blushed even more. She seemed to have thought of something that was difficult to talk about. ¡°Hey, how did you know¡­¡± ¡°Know what?¡± ¡°You know that I¡¯m¡­¡± ¡°You what?¡± Char asked despite knowing the answer. ¡°Hey! You¡¯re doing this on purpose!¡± Ksenja¡¯s face reddened in anger. She gritted her teeth for a long time, but she could not say those embarrassing words. She wanted to know how did Char know that she did not have enough milk to feed her baby! ¡°Yes?¡± Char snorted. ¡°How am I going to answer you if you¡¯re not telling me the question?¡± Ksenja mumbled. She brushed his hair aside and kissed his forehead. ¡°You little brat¡­¡± Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 9. As a Player, You Have to Be Aware That You¡¯re Just A Cannon Fodder. Time was limited, and Char could not go any further. Of course, the situation did not allow him to go on. Sacred matters should always be placed on the appropriate occasion, and it was not time for Char as well. A person¡¯s threshold would always increase. Char had reincarnated 177 times, and he did not lack patience and time. Seeing that it was almost time, Char smiled gently and picked up little Tifa. ¡°I¡¯ll leave her to Auntie Susan. Get ready. We¡¯ll meet at the west entrance of the village.¡± After he finished speaking, he went out of the house. Ksenja had wanted to remind him to be careful, but she realized that Char was more professional in carrying the baby than she was, and she was puzzled. What on earth had he been doing all these years? ¡­ 3 P.M. The West entrance of the novice village. Other than the five who had applied for the mission, there were four others who had gathered there. They had probably leveled up in the afternoon and gotten their hands on some weapons, so they were also waiting for Char at the entrance. ¡°Do any of you know the guy from this morning? I went to the forum and posted something, but they didn¡¯t believe it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. There are so many novice villages, but it seems like this only happened in our village. The others haven¡¯t even seen monsters above level 4, let alone doing team quests.¡± ¡°Also, did you know that there were a few naive people in the novice village of the Nanhai District who went to see the daughter of the village chief? They were struck by lightning before they could even touch her. Then they were forced to log out of the game, have their accounts locked, and are banned from logging in for a whole year. I heard that the people from the youth psychological center even found them via their IP¡­¡± ¡°Are you for real?¡± ¡°Nonsense, the internet isn¡¯t an illegal place. It¡¯s fine for them to do it elsewhere, but on the internet? They must be crazy! What would happen to female players in the future? Sometimes, you don¡¯t even know what are they thinking. Please don¡¯t get us into any trouble.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is a game for all ages.¡± Brandy nudged his friend¡¯s elbow, hinting at something. ¡°Stop it. Char is here.¡± ¡°Where is he? Hey, I found him!¡± ¡°Good afternoon, boss!¡± ¡°Boss, I¡­ Who¡¯s the lady behind him?¡± Ksenja, who was dressed in light armor, was behind Char. If it was a realistic Western fantasy, most of the players would have to wear full armor, but this game was obviously a Japanese fantasy. The armor fit Ksenja well. She walked over slowly and instantly became the focus of attention. As Ksenja pulled out a broadsword the size of a door, their eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. ¡°She has 25 strength.¡± Char smiled innocently, ¡°I advise you guys to be kind to her. The three of them can be my witnesses.¡± Among all the gentlemanly gazes, the three of them appeared to be particularly upright. They looked straight ahead, and their hearts were as calm as water. Their gazes met in the air, and in the blink of an eye, they had completed their communication. ¡°Brother, is this NPC going to fight monsters with us?¡± Someone came over and asked. ¡°You can think of it that way.¡± Char laughed and gave Ksenja a look. ¡°She¡¯s our full-time babysitter. Other than the fact that she doesn¡¯t have much milk.¡± The swordswoman glared at Char in an obscure manner. ¡°Well, as expected. You easily did what we didn¡¯t even dare to think about. First, it was Sonya, and now, it¡¯s Miss Ksenja¡­¡± Air Conditioner was amazed by Char. A few more people submitted their applications to join the team, and they set off. ¡­ Half an hour later, all of them arrived at the outskirts of the Rotten Forest. Level 7 Enchanted Wild Boars and level 5 Enchanted Ravens could be found in this area. In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, level 4 was a dividing line. Monsters below this level were all newbie monsters. Above level 4, they began to learn the basic skills of seeking advantages, as well as moving in groups, but they also lacked intelligence. For example, the Enchanted Wild Boars would lose its mind when it smelled the scent of a large number of strangers and approach them like a madman. During the first contact, most newbies would be caught off guard and frightened by its fierce aura, but in fact, they were not much different from ordinary beasts. 5 points of strength and agility plus a weapon were enough to deal with them. Char¡¯s personal record was when he was a level 1 swordsman, he was able to kill 4 of the 6 Enchanted Wild Boars that were surrounding him before he died. Of course, this was under the condition that he was accompanied by someone. It was not Ksenja. Someone as strong as her would scare away the Enchanted Wild Boars. The one who accompanied Char last time was a weak and skinny Dark Elf who could conceal herself. Ordinary Enchanted Wild Boars would be scared away by Ksenja, but it was not the case for the Enchanted Wild Boars on the outskirts of the Rotten Forest. Under the control of some kind of willpower, they divided into small teams and patrolled the area. They worked together and moved more strictly than an army. ¡°This is the place.¡± Char stopped under a tree that split into two and pointed at a guy holding a short dagger. ¡°You. Come here for a moment.¡± ¡°Me?¡± The player ran over excitedly. It was a short-haired girl with flat breasts. She was actually the strongest among the group of players. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°How about being a cannon fodder?¡± ¡°Eh?¡± She was stunned. ¡°Being a cannon fodder is actually something. Everyone will die one day. You being squashed to death by Enchanted Wild Boars is also a way of death for a hero. Besides, you¡¯re the only one here who¡¯s changed profession to a thief and has a 15% movement speed bonus,¡± Char said. ¡°Hey, how did you know that I¡¯ve changed my profession to a thief?¡± She turned around to look at the others. There were three people holding short daggers. ¡°Their weapons were bought at a shop, but yours was a free gift. He even gave you a talon. If you make good use of the talon, you might not even die.¡± The thief lowered her head and looked at the dagger. The grip of her dagger was indeed different from the others. It was a gift from her teacher. ¡°You¡¯ve goof observation!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen it a lot,¡± Char said with a hoarse tone. She was quite powerful. On the fourth beta testing, he discovered that the Dark Brotherhood¡¯s branch was hidden in this novice village. The branch was in a well, and he had no idea how she went down. ¡°Bro, let¡¯s be friends!¡± She raised her head. ¡°I¡¯ll be your cannon fodder then. You¡¯ll compensate me, won¡¯t you?¡± Char raised an eyebrow. ¡°Of course.¡± The two of them added each other as friends. The female thief was called Apple Pie. Apple Pie was satisfied after adding Char as her friend. ¡°Alright, boss. Where should I go then? How do you want me to die!¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 10. What a Wonderful Experience This Was! In traditional online games, luring and gathering monsters had always been a technical skill. After all, which player did not like the feeling of a screen filled with critical damage numbers? That was what Char had asked Apple Pie to do. As a thief, she had the 15% movement speed bonus granted by [Shadow Walk], which made her lighter and faster. Although she could not really outrun the Enchanted Wild Boars, they could not catch up with her as well. Following the route that Char had planned, Apple Pie set off. Char¡¯s judgment was very accurate. The thief was most likely an athletic person in real life, and one could tell from her running posture. With light steps, she disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight in the blink of an eye. After about five minutes, the ground began to shake tremendously. It sounded like thousands of beasts were galloping¡­ The others stood up uneasily, and even Char was a little surprised. It seemed like he had found an incredible teammate¡­ How many monsters did she attract? Char stepped forward and whispered in Ksenja¡¯s ear, ¡°My dear~¡± Her ears turned red and she pinched Char without a trace. ¡°What did you call me?¡± Char laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. We¡¯re about to fight.¡± Ksenja nodded, and her broadsword was stuck into the ground like a wall. Then, she took off the top half of her armor. Char was like a cosplayer¡¯s assistant as he took a few steps back with the armor in her arms. ¡°Be careful,¡± ¡°Yes.¡± A few seconds later, a disheveled figure appeared on the dusky horizon. Apple Pie¡¯s face was covered in sweat, and his hair stuck to his forehead. Her cheeks were red, and she looked like an agile antelope! Behind her was a group of monsters, accompanied by the rumbling sound of trampling and billowing smoke. There were at least a hundred Enchanted Wild Boars! How did she do that? ¡°Boss! Your route is amazing!¡± Apple Pie started shouting at Char. Char could not help but feel helpless. Even if there was a perfect way to lure the monsters, no one else might be able to do it so perfectly¡­ He could see that she was also at the end of her rope, but now that things had come to this, he did not want to let this lady die. It would be a waste of talent. He kept Ksenja¡¯s light armor into his bag. The item was marked as a temporary loan and could not be worn or used, but he freed up his hands. ¡°Use your talon on me!¡± He shouted. Apple Pie understood what he meant, and her eyes shone with excitement as he shouted, ¡°Got it!¡± A talon was thrown from her hand, and a translucent silk string could be seen in the air. ¡°Ksenja!¡± Char shouted, and the latter immediately understood. She grabbed the talon and swung it with 25 points of strength. Apple Pie was pulled into the air, screaming loudly in mid-air, and landed steadily in front of Char. Before the blush on the girl¡¯s face faded, her calf twitched, and she fell into Char¡¯s arms. She could clearly feel that she was so excited in the game cabin that she was convulsing! The exaggeratedly secreted adrenaline and the heart rate that was so excited that it sounded like it was on the alert¡­ This was the gaming experience that she had been longing for! ¡°That¡¯s amazing, brother! It was too exciting! You¡¯re awesome!¡± ¡°What¡¯s so exciting about it? Hurry up and climb up the tree.¡± The girl turned back to look at Char with a strange expression. The others were dumbfounded. They did not expect it to be so exciting. ¡°What are you waiting for? Get up the tree! Are you just going to stand there?¡± Char urged. The three guys were the first to react. They jumped up the trees in the blink of an eye. The others were stunned for a moment before they quickly climbed up the trees. The ground was instantly cleared up, leaving only Char and Ksenja. The Enchanted Wild Boars, which had lost its target, hesitated for a few seconds before it locked onto the two of them. Ksenja¡¯s body trembled slightly. This had nothing to do with fear. It was due to excitement. At the end of the day, she still had the blood of adventuring and killing flowing in her body. It was only because of the sweet words of that Wester and the birth of Tifa that all of this was suppressed. However, her violent temper was buried deep under the calm appearance of a housewife. It was not good for the body to keep holding in anger, so there had to be a way to vent it. Char¡¯s long reincarnation had allowed him to understand two effective ways to vent Ksenja¡¯s anger. The nature of human behavior was nothing more than killing¡­ Ahem, nothing more than the conquest of the mind and the body. The reckless Enchanted Wild Boars roared as it approached them, and in the blink of an eye, it was only ten meters away from them. Ksenja¡¯s body stopped trembling. She pulled out her broadsword, and the terrifyingly heavy object in her hand was like a toothpick held by a giant. It fluttered behind her, and then she threw it forward heavily! Whoosh! The sword caused a gust of wind, and the ripples visible to the naked eye instantly broke the formation of the Enchanted Wild Boars. The strong wind rolled up skin, flesh, and blood, mixed with the creaking sound of bones rubbing against each other, and violently opened up a path. The sevenEnchanted Wild Boars were instantly killed, and it was included in everyone¡¯s mission pool in the team¡¯s countable system. Similarly, since this was done by the NPC alone, there were no other rewards. The remaining Enchanted Wild Boars were stunned for a moment. The tragic death of their companion did not bring any fear as they still charged forward fearlessly. ¡°Protect yourself at all cost.¡± After saying that, Ksenja rushed into the group of monsters, punching and kicking them all the way. She would lift the boars high up and throw them away. She was like a Demon God descending to the mortal world. Ksenja swung and threw her broadsword to kill the boars as she charged toward them. Char had seen it many times, and every time he saw it, he could not help but sigh. This was probably the best interpretation of violence and aesthetics. Although theEnchanted Wild Boars were controlled by humans and did not have much intelligence, it was common knowledge to pick on the weaker ones. The survivors had their eyes on Char. However, they soon discovered that he seemed to be more difficult to deal with. Every charge and collision would be dodged by Char by a hair¡¯s breadth, and they might even bump into their companions. The ferocity of the wild boars overshadowed their only rationality, and they started killing each other. After a long time, this weak human was actually surrounded by a circle of boars that were fighting each other, forming a vacuum in the middle¡­ Bang! Ksenja jumped in from outside, her sweat soaking through the bandages and stained with blood. Her eyes were full of concern, but when she saw that Char was all right, she glared at him with anger. ¡°Well, I was worried about you for nothing.¡± ¡°I¡¯m strong!¡± Char flexed the muscles on his arms. Although it was not very convincing, Ksenja could not help but laugh at him. ¡°Alright, stop it¡­¡± ¡°I know. I know.¡± Char went forward and took out medicine and bandages as if he was performing magic, changing them for Ksenja. ¡°Hey, even if you¡¯re messing around, you should pick a time!¡± ¡°Be serious. Who¡¯s messing around? I¡¯m just helping you loosen your grip. It¡¯s not good for your health. Think about poor little Tifa.¡± Char gave Ksenja a reason that she could not reject with a straight face, and she had nothing to say. The two of them hid behind her broadsword, avoiding the sight of the crowd. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done!¡± After fixing her bandage, Char looked as if he had completed a satisfactory project. ¡°I¡¯m awesome!¡± Ksenja rolled her eyes at his words. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 11. It¡¯s So Hard to Think of a Title A level 14 Swordswoman would not be able to reach Ksenja¡¯s level, but players would have an upper limit. For example, Char. He could barely defeat monsters of the same level in his first testing, but with the experience he accumulated from constant practice and dying over and over again, he was able to bring Zin¡¯rokh back to life after 177 rounds. In the end, he could even dominate him. This was growth. Firstly, he was too familiar with it. Secondly, he understood his opponent too well. There was not much to talk about when it came to fighting. In the end, it was just like playing cards. You have to solve the problems that the other party threw to you. If you could not solve it, you would take damage. However, it was different for players. As long as the players¡¯ brain was normal, they would improve. Since the players were still newbies, they could not help but feel a deep sense of awe and respect for Ksenja who had killed so many monsters. ¡°She¡¯s so powerful ¡­¡± ¡°Mom, can I be as strong as her?¡± ¡°Silly, I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t. You¡¯re a militia and she¡¯s a swordswoman¡­¡± ¡­ Among the group of players, only Apple Pie¡¯s body was trembling slightly. The female thief twisted her legs uneasily and stared at the broadsword that was covering Char and Ksenja. ¡°What are they doing behind there?¡± The more she could not get an answer, the more her imagination ran wild. In reality, she was a good girl. She was quiet and gentle, with excellent grades, and had never used vulgarities before. She was a model student. Other than her flat chest, there was no other flaw. However, under this calm appearance, she was a pervert who had been suppressed to the extreme. In every sense, she yearned for excitement more than anyone else. The feeling of being chased by the boars had been deeply imprinted in her mind, and the increased secretion of adrenaline and the suffocating pleasure could not be dispelled. People would always associate an unforgettable feeling with something, and for her, this intense stimulation was linked to Char. Suddenly, Ksenja pulled out her broadsword. The swordswoman in light armor was like a tiger. In a few breaths, she had cleaned up the remaining monsters as if they were melons and vegetables, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. Char stood up and waved at the players. ¡°You guys can come down now!¡± Apple Pie took the lead and rushed down, using her superspeed to arrive in front of Char. Her eyes were burning like a torch. ¡°Brother, what did you two do just now?¡± Char was slightly taken aback, and then he smiled mysteriously. ¡°It¡¯s best if children don¡¯t ask about it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m an adult.¡± Apple Pie puffed out her chest. ¡°I just came of age a month ago.¡± ¡°Psychological adulthood and physical adulthood are two different things.¡± Char ruffled her hair and turned to Ksenja. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± Apple Pie wrinkled her nose. ¡­ A hundred Enchanted Wild Boars helped seven people complete the quest, but there were nine people present, not including Char. ¡°Either none of us complete the mission, or two of us leave the mission for the others to complete. ¡°We might not be able to gather 30 monsters in the future,¡± Char said. Everyone looked at each other. After a few seconds of silence, a level 2 Militia named Moonlight stepped forward. ¡°I think it¡¯s better to have two people give up, in case someone wants to go offline or something.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s going to do so? Are you going to give up?¡± Someone asked. Moonlight drew a beautiful arc with his long sword and coldly glanced at the man, who immediately shut up. ¡°I think I¡¯m pretty strong. If any of you give up, I can help you later,¡± he said. No one said anything. Char raised an eyebrow and was about to say something, but Apple Pie suddenly raised her hand. ¡°Me. I¡¯m only here to play anyway.¡± She turned to Char. ¡°Bro, look at how obedient I am. You¡¯ll carry me, right?¡± ¡°Count me in.¡± Air Conditioner stood up and smiled indifferently. ¡°It¡¯s a small matter,¡± Char nodded and crossed out their names, allowing the other seven people to complete their missions first and receive their rewards. The light of leveling up flashed on the seven of them, and they still had a lot of experience left. In terms of money, this was probably the most money they had received in one go since they entered the game. Each person received three silver coins. A quest that earned them three silver coins could only be found a few times before they left the village. Many people looked at Char with eager eyes, but he just shrugged and acted like he did not know anything. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. The mission ends here. I¡¯ll have to complete the rest of the mission with these two.¡± The originally lively atmosphere froze for a moment and quickly became stiff. ¡°That¡¯s not right, big brother.¡± Moonlight jumped out with a frown. ¡°You didn¡¯t say that giving up your spot was such a good thing. If you had said it, I would definitely have given up my spot!¡± ¡°It seems like both of them are good friends with you. Aren¡¯t they deliberately setting us up¡­¡± Someone mumbled. ¡°Yeah. More people mean more power. What can¡¯t we do together?¡± There were unkind, neutral, and also some who spoke good words. The people who were speaking at this moment were undoubtedly cunning foxes who had played many games. They would take advantage of everything to get what they wanted. Although some people felt that this was enough and did not want to be greedy, they could not help but have no opinions and let others lead them. When they heard that there was an advantage and someone was fighting for benefits that did not belong to them, their minds became active as well. They just wanted to stir things up. Even though Char had never interacted with players before, he was used to such things. The United Holy Empire that the Paladin, Laurentia, was in had many such talents. Compared to them, the players were childish and cute. Char was excited when he thought about how the players would be defeated by the Paladins of the United Holy Empire and then turn around. Finally, there was some fun to watch. ¡°Alright, since you want to follow, then follow me.¡± Char nodded with a normal expression. He had 10000 ways to pass through the rotten forest, including blood sacrifices. ¡°You two go back.¡± Air Conditioner gave his two underlings a look, and the latter two immediately understood. Char¡¯s aura as a boss was too deep for the two of them, and they did not want to disobey him, so they nodded and left. As for the remaining five people, they all revealed victorious smiles, while Moonlight showed a hint of disdain toward Char. He believed that he could see that Char was most likely an insider who had gotten some information from somewhere, which was why he was ahead of everyone on the first day of the server opening. ¡°Fantasy World¡± was said to be closed for 1000 years. As long as he was accused of ¡°Sneaking Data¡±, he would never be able to clear his name. How to stand on the moral high ground and direct the country. How to mobilize the power of many people ¡­ As a media person, he knew everything. ¡®So what? You¡¯ll still lead us to complete the mission, won¡¯t you?¡¯ Before he knew it, Char had been labeled as someone who was easy to talk to, and as time passed, people would think that he was easy to bully. ¡­ The group set off again. Ksenja walked to the front without a word, and the monsters that were left behind were scared away by her aura. The reason why the hundreds of boars dared to rush forward together was that the one driving the train was the Apple Pie, which made them lose their minds. It had been a long time since they had encountered a monster, and the Moonlight was a little boring. When they looked up, they saw Ksenja beside Char. Ksenja¡¯s butt was shaped into an alluring shape by the close-fitting light armor, and it made people¡¯s imaginations run wild when looking at it from behind. His thoughts became active again. ¡°This guy seems to have mastered the technique of gaining favorability with NPCs¡­ Although this game is open to all ages, who wouldn¡¯t want to be in close contact with an eye-catching NPC?¡± He thought to himself as he moved closer. ¡°Bro, how did you manage to get a favorable impression of her?¡± Moonlight squeezed through Air Conditioner and asked Char. ¡°Well, just do what she likes.¡± Char laughed, not hiding anything. ¡°Just treat the NPCs as humans. Do whatever they like and try to make the things that they hate disappear.¡± ¡®What nonsense?¡¯ Moonlight rolled his eyes in his heart and continued to ask curiously, ¡°Then¡­ Then what about the one beside you?¡± ¡°She¡­ She¡¯s afraid of the dark, so you can do some things right now.¡± Char pointed at the glowing Fern on the tree. ¡°Use that thing to make a light stick and keep the brightness of the entire team above a certain value. Ksenja¡¯s favorability toward everyone will increase. If it exceeds friendly, you can ask her to teach you [Power Slash]. Here, you can ask Air Conditioner about this.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Moonlight looked over suspiciously, and Air Conditioner showed him the skill attributes. [Power Slash level 1: The basic skill of a swordsman, Slash with medium strength.] The level 1 Power Slash was AD*1.75. These numbers would not be written out and would be discovered by players. However, to Char, it was like a multiplication table. ¡°How did you know all this?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when you explore more.¡± ¡®What¡¯s so high and mighty?¡± Moonlight snorted in his heart. With a grateful smile on his face, he went to the roadside and rubbed a layer of fluorescent Fern on his sword. The others followed Moonlight. For a time, the five of them walked through the dark, rotten forest with glowing sticks in their hands, and the haze was mostly dispelled. Char coughed, and Ksenja glared at him unhappily. However, under Char¡¯s pleading gaze, she turned around patiently and gave a polite smile to the people behind. ¡°Yo! The lady smiled at me!¡± ¡°It¡¯s really useful! It¡¯s really useful!¡± ¡®Well, I did it.¡¯ Moonlight thought. He had already started to think of writing a post to make use of the power of public opinion to make Char spit out more stuff. The title would be ¡®The closed beta testing was just a joke. How many lies has the Illusionary Workshop told?¡¯ There were only benefits and no harm in digging deeper¡­ Moonlight¡¯s mind gradually opened up, and he had already left the game. Suddenly, his wild thoughts were interrupted by the flapping of wings. He raised his head and looked for the source of the sound alertly, but he saw nothing. At that moment, the four people in front suddenly accelerated! ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are you guys running?¡± Moonlight also wanted to speed up, but he bumped into something. The sound of the sword hitting the ground became louder and louder. He got up from the ground and saw what was in front of him with the help of the fluorescent light from the sword. He suddenly shivered! It was a headless corpse, its body bloated from soaking in the water, and there were fern and vines growing on its muscles¡­ A tentacle with thorns extended out of his neck, like a hand as it unyieldingly reached out. ¡°What¡­ What kind of monster is this?¡± Moonlight¡¯s sanity value dropped rapidly as he hurriedly got up to escape. However, when he turned around, he saw an even more terrifying scene! The players around him had long been pounced on by the headless corpse that had appeared out of nowhere. The reason they did not make a sound was that a head with wings was already covering their whole faces¡­ The sound of flapping wings gradually rang out, and in the blink of an eye, Moonlight was devoured by the heads with wings. ¡°Brother, why are we running? What will happen to the talkative Moonlight?¡± Apple Pie asked curiously. Her face was red, and her breathing was uneven. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that as a player, you should have the awareness of being a cannon fodder¡­¡± Char stopped and leaned against Ksenja to catch his breath. ¡°Besides, the way to please an NPC is to make the things she hates disappear, right, Miss Ksenja?¡± Ksenja rolled her eyes at him. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 12. Milolo Lux Compared to Apple Pie, Air Conditioner was much more concerned. When Char asked them to run, he turned around and happened to see the group of people being drowned by winged heads and headless bodies. The scene was horrible He swore that he would never face that monster in his life. It was too hardcore! ¡°What are those?¡± He asked. ¡°Have you been to the small wooden hut that sells paper on the right side of the village hall?¡± Air Conditioner nodded. ¡°Auntie Susan with bad eyesight would often talk about her son, Felix, who died young, and complain that Jim from the militia didn¡¯t save him. Bring a bottle of blood grain malt wine to Jim and get him drunk, and he would tell you what happened back then. They explored the Rotten Forest and were almost wiped out in the forest, and only Uncle Jim survived. Those are level 7 Infected Monster.¡± ¡°Level 7? They¡¯re so strong!¡± ¡°It looks strong and has high attributes, but it has a fatal weakness. As long as you bring the blood grain malt wine, they will be neutral creatures that will not attack you. Not only will they not form teams to attack you, but they may not even fight back even if you hit them.¡± Air Conditioner was stunned. ¡°I didn¡¯t know the blood grain malt wine is so powerful¡­¡± Char chuckled. ¡°There¡¯s no external application or penicillin in this primitive place. There¡¯s no quick bleeding control other than the healing spells of the priests. Blood grain malt wine is a specialty of the Barbarians. It can quickly produce blood when taken orally, and it has disinfectant and sterilization. It¡¯s like the militia¡¯s golden sore medicine. The more experienced the militia is, the more drunkard they are. The smell has already dissolved into their blood¡­ ¡°Then why didn¡¯t they attack us just now?¡± Apple Pie asked. ¡°A scientist and a stray dog that was killed by a car. Can you guess the difference between the two?¡± ¡°Hey! I¡¯ve heard of this joke! There are brake prints in front of the stray dog¡¯s corpse!¡± Char snapped his fingers. ¡°That¡¯s it. Compared to you, the monsters hate fluorescent plants more. It was the most terrifying thing in the Rotten Forest, and they had died because of it¡­ ¡°Although they¡¯re dead, corrupted by the monsters, and turned into monsters, they still retain the love and hatred from when they were alive.¡± Air Conditioner was mesmerized and could not help but mutter, ¡°Brother, how do you know all this¡­¡± ¡°Ask Sonya. The Barbarian will tell you everything you need to know, as long as you can afford the price and know how to please her.¡± Char smiled and pushed all the blame to Sonya. Anyway, no one could get anything from her. ¡­ Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the open space where Milolo Lux had died. The broken flesh of the witch was still scattered on the ground, and the bloodthirsty level 6 Ravens she raised was circling in the air. If it were not for the fact that the witch¡¯s soul had yet to completely dissipate, these beasts would have long come down to feast on it. The Ravens were monsters that lived in groups and could fly. They would need a team of archers to deal with them. However¡­ Char gave Ksenja a look, and the latter nodded. She looked at the Raven in the air and picked up the broadsword. She fanned with both hands and instantly set off a gust of strong wind. He activated all 25 points of strength, and a ripple visible to the naked eye appeared in the air. The air wave hit the hovering Ravens. Black feathers mixed with the rain of blood fell. At the same time, the number of monsters killed by Air Conditioner and Apple Pie increased. ¡°Alright, this mission is considered completed.¡± Char calculated the rewards for the two of them, and the moment it ended, golden light gathered from all directions. The exclamation mark on the crushed Mission Order Assignment was regenerated, but this time, it changed from a yellow exclamation mark to a yellow question mark. Char crushed the question mark, and the warm feeling of experience flowed through his body. [You have completed the team mission ¡®Demonic Extermination¡¯.] [You have gained 1200+810 experience points.] [You have received 4 silver coins+2.7 silver coins.] [The novice village¡¯s reputation increased.] [You have received the equipment ¡®Proof of Unity¡¯.] [Proof of Unity (badge): All attributes +1.] Money and quests were 10% of the other 9 players¡¯ individual points, but the equipment surprised Char. There was no such thing during the closed beta, and it seemed to be an extra compensation for the players. Thinking about it, it was much harder to command a bunch of players who did not look like they fit in than to command obedient NPCs. It was hard work, and there was a chance that a top-tier player like Moonlight would appear. ¡°Is this the end?¡± Although Apple Pie had leveled up, she felt a little depressed. This was different from what she had imagined. She had thought that there would be something more exciting. Air Conditioner was also a little disappointing, too. After all, he did nothing. He had taken so many things for nothing. His eyes were full, but his spirit was not satisfied. ¡°There¡¯s some content at the back of this mission, but if you guys want to follow, you¡¯ll really become cannon fodder.¡± Char said seriously, ¡°And the way you guys died will be even more scary.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± Applie Pie patted her chest. ¡°I¡¯ll go if there¡¯s any fun! You¡¯re going to carry me, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t go back as well¡­¡± Air Conditioner smiled helplessly. ¡°Alright, follow me.¡± Char went forward to pick up more than 20 black feathers and lit them up with a flint. The feathers were burning, and it let out an unpleasant scream. Green smoke rose slowly, and it seemed to be mixed with the ferocious faces of people as if the souls of suffering were squeezed together. The smoke gathered in the air to form a thin woman¡¯s face. If they looked closely, they would find that it was similar to Milolo Lux¡¯s face when she was young. Strictly speaking, this was actually the second stage of Milolo Lux As the ultimate boss before Char left the village, the normal way to start the battle would be like this. First, they formed a group to exterminate the Enchanted Wild Boars controlled by the witch on the outskirts of the Rotten Forest. The witch controlled the bloodthirsty Ravens to snatch the corpse, which led to the intervention of Sonya. The blood grain malt wine required a large amount of blood, and the blood of monsters was an excellent material. The Barbarians would use the blood grain malt wine as a reward. After the mission was successfully completed, a large amount of blood grain malt wine would be produced, and Jim would get drunk and cry in front of Auntie Susan¡¯s door, triggering a new mission, [Death of the Veterans]. After understanding the whole story, he would then bring reinforcements to the boss. Having made sufficient preparations, Milolo Lux naturally would not die as miserably as this time. She would release poisonous gas from the glowing fern to mock the militia from several years ago for almost being wiped out like this. At that moment, Jim would appear and say that he had found a way to deal with the gas. Then, he would rush into the forest alone. He would light himself up, using his flesh and blood to maintain the flame so that it would not be extinguished by the poisonous gas. He would rush into the arms of his former comrades and burn them all with the fragrance of blood grain malt wine. The battle with Milolo Lux would only begin after the forest almost burned down. This was because the witch¡¯s soul had long been integrated with the forest. The real boss battle would only start after the forest was burned down. A witch in the form of a spirit was immune to physical attacks. Only the divine spell of Enke Wester could take effect on her. However, the witch would control Marden to hold this scumbag, Enke, hostage and use him to threaten Ksenja, forcing her to fight with Sonya. At this point, the strongest combat force of the novice village was in a tussle, while the others were pecked blind in the eyes by the Ravens and burned to death in the fire. A series of melodramatic events would follow. The exposure of Enke Wester¡¯s secret affair, Ksenja was heartbroken as she beat up Sonya in anger, Marden pushing both of them into the fire pit, and so on¡­ This was a bad ending without the players¡¯ intervention. Apart from the village chief, every NPC¡¯s life was a tragedy. Their fates were entangled with each other, like a tangled thread. Char also had to go through a few times before he found a way to untie the cursed thread. He had completely messed up the order. He had already brought Sonya to beat up the witch. Thus, the veteran Jim did not have to die, the scumbag was taken away by the Barbarian, Ksenja was free from her inner demons, Marden was purified, and Sonya was still running the tavern. Everything was going well. Moreover, Milolo Lux¡¯s death was too sudden, and she did not have time to spread her soul to the various parts of the Rotten Forest. Only a part of her soul was left hidden on the Ravens. Since the Ravens had been burned to death, the witch¡¯s soul, which had nowhere to hide, dissipated¡­ Milolo Lux had broken free¡­ The younger version of the witch had a pair of long, sharp ears. ¡°Thank you, Char,¡± said Milolo Lux The moment the soul spirit spoke, everyone¡¯s jaws dropped. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 13. The Jealous Ksenja ¡°What¡¯s going on? I thought we were going to fight next¡­¡± Air Conditioner mumbled. ¡°Me too! I¡¯m clenching my toes!¡± Apple Pie agreed. Ksenja also showed a puzzled expression. Char waved his hand nonchalantly, not surprised at all. ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense. Where did you hide your spoils of war?¡± The witch had a treasure chest that contained the things she had accumulated over the years. Even though Char had gone through 177 rounds, he still had to force himself to ask this question. This was because the treasure chest¡¯s position was completely random. It depended on Milolo Lux¡¯s mood, and she did not have a regular pattern. The witch was not happy with Char¡¯s question. She was grateful, but she would remember the two times that he had brought people to mess with her! ¡°You¡¯ve angered me, human!¡± The witch¡¯s soul suddenly became cold and aloof. She put on a stern face, and a huge illusion floated in the air, giving off an oppressive feeling. ¡°Why are you acting like this? Aren¡¯t you afraid that Evelyn will hang you up again? Hurry up and tell us where is it,¡± Char said indifferently. ¡°Where did you hide your spoils of war? I¡¯ll release you from purgatory as soon as possible.¡± ¡°How do you know that woman?¡± Hearing the woman¡¯s name, Milolo Lux¡¯s voice suddenly became sharp and shrill. ¡°Did she ask you to punish me? Hahaha, you fool¡­¡± ¡°I have nothing to do with her,¡±Char said impatiently. ¡°But if you don¡¯t tell me where is it, I¡¯ll punish you.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you. It¡¯s under the Floreen Tree, three hundred meters to the East.¡± The witch was terrified. She was extremely afraid of Evelyn. ¡°What¡¯s the password to get rid of the snake?¡± ¡°You even know about the snake that¡¯s guarding the chest! And you¡¯re still saying that she didn¡¯t send you to punish me?¡± ¡°Arghh!¡± Milolo Lux screamed in anger, and her body started to collapse. ¡°I definitely won¡¯t work with you! You¡¯re dreaming!¡± ¡°Are you sure? If you don¡¯t leave now, you¡¯ll still be captured by Evelyn and stuffed into another container. Think about the Soul Sucking Monsters, think about the feeling of not being able to live or die¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore! I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you! The password is venomous fangs hidden deep, harmless but deathly.¡± The password was actually different than before¡­ Char thought to himself. Not only did she bury the treasure chest in all kinds of ways, but she also gave different commands. She did all these things after her feelings were restrained in the Rotten Forest. ¡°Farewell.¡± Char cupped his hands and turned to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said. Ksenja trusted him unconditionally, and would only bury her curiosity in her heart no matter what she heard. After all, Char¡¯s image in her mind was that she had been wandering for years after being rescued, so it was not surprising for her to have a mysterious past. However, it was a different story for Apple Pie and Air Conditioner. They were all players, so why was he acting like he was cheating while they were acting like they did not know anything? Who was Evelyn? A treasure? The password? What the hell? Why was playing an online game so complicated? This was only the first day of the server opening! Did the game have to crush them like this? After taking two steps, Apple Pie finally could not take it anymore and went up to hug Char¡¯s arm. However, before she could stand still, she was pushed away by Ksenja. Eh? The female thief¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I sprained my legs.¡± Ksenja smiled gently. She staggered a few steps as if she had sprained her foot, then stood up properly again. However, she got even closer to Char, not giving the thief a chance to intervene. Apple Pie was shocked! How could he not know that she did it on purpose? ¡°I¡¯m actually being envied by an NPC, can you believe that? She was in disbelief and tried to approach Char from behind. This time, it was Char who turned around and gave her a helpless smile. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Boss, how do you know all this? It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you, but if you say that you¡¯ve been reborn to play online games, it¡¯s more believable than you told us that you found the answers in the village¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s the kind of online game that has been running for a long time and is about to close. An unsuccessful player transmigrated, and his memory suddenly became so good that he could even remember everything clearly. I used to think that this kind of story was pure nonsense, but now, I almost believe in it¡­¡± Air Conditioner interrupted. ¡°Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. The information gap is like a rolling snowball, and it¡¯ll only get bigger.¡± Char chuckled. ¡°Because of a small matter, I managed to gain some of Sonya¡¯s favorability. With the money you guys gave me, I hired her to come to the forest. This boss was caught off guard and was instantly killed by her.¡± ¡°What about the boars? There were so many monsters just now¡­¡± ¡°Barbarians are natural hunters. The two of us can perfectly bypass them. I¡¯ve already gotten some clues from Auntie Susan, and on the way, I found out what the blood grain malt wine is for¡­ These clues are like a puzzle, piecing together the general idea. Then I searched around the village and pieced together the pieces of information that are useless to you, and that¡¯s what we¡¯re seeing now.¡± ¡°What about Evelyn, the treasure chest, and the password?¡± ¡°This is related to you,¡± Char said to Apple Pie. ¡°Your dagger came from the Dark Brotherhood, right? ¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°Evelyn is the contact of the Dark Brotherhood¡¯s branch in this village. She¡¯s a Dark Elf. Instructor doom, who gave you the dagger, was once her student. He told me about it.¡± Apple Pic was stunned. ¡°That simple? What right does he have to tell you¡­¡± Char spread her hands. ¡°What¡¯s the Dark Brotherhood¡¯s objective?¡± ¡°We¡¯re paid to do things,¡± The female thief muttered. ¡°Do you think a normal organization would have such a purpose?¡± She shook her head. ¡°That¡¯s it. It¡¯s an illegal organization.¡± ¡°Then¡­ What happened after that?¡± ¡°As legal citizens, what do we do after discovering an illegal organization?¡± ¡°Do¡­ Do you want to call the police?¡± ¡°Yes, call the police,¡± Char revealed a satisfying expression as he spoke. ¡°I used this to threaten them.¡± Apple Pie was speechless. Although it was still hard to believe, it actually sounded reasonable¡­ The only thing that did not make sense was¡­ Which normal player would call the profession-changing organization an illegal organization? ¡°Isn¡¯t it abnormal for a normal person to do this?¡± The ability to eliminate interference, the ability to integrate information, the ability to find clues, and the ability to be as calm as water when facing those terrifying NPCs, not saying a single wrong word¡­ He even dared to threaten the whole organization¡­ Instructor Doom was scarier than any other combat instructor she had ever met. He had been a Special Forces Soldier who had killed people! Apple Pie was full of curiosity, but compared to the speculation that ¡°he came back from another world¡±, she chose to believe the former. Char smiled at the two of them. He did not mind their wild thoughts. Anyway, this adventure would be over soon. When the time came, they would part ways and he would have more time to do things. The surprises he had experienced in just one day were more than what he had experienced in the past hundred reincarnations. He looked forward to the future more than ever because it was not as numb as before. After spending a long time with NPCs, one would be extremely familiar with their every move and would get tired of them. To put it bluntly, he knew every single look and movement of Ksenja made. The Valkyrie, Dark Elf, and Priestesses. All were similar However, he had never seen Ksenja getting jealous of the Apple Pie! This was completely new as if he was a real person! Char was moved! The players¡¯ interference not only changed the flow of the game but also affected the NPCs! It might even affect the direction of the game¡¯s future! He was excited when the chief village wished him good luck before he left the village. Due to this conjecture, his imagination started to run wild. Char¡¯s heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to stir. He enjoyed this wonderful feeling, which made him believe that he was a living person and not a piece of data that had lost itself. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± He stopped in front of a Floreen Tree. He followed the witch¡¯s instructions and shouted, ¡°Venomous fangs hidden deep, harmless but deathly.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the soil at the roots suddenly rose up, and a dark brown python brought out the box from the mud. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 14. Soul Sucking Monsters The snake was a creature of the same level as Milolo Lux. It had a high attack level and a low defense level, but it was poisonous. To newbie players who had almost zero poison resistance, it could kill them with one bite. The mud-colored skin design was no less malicious than Miyazaki Hidetaka¡¯s. However, under the command of the password, it dug into the ground after sending the treasure out. The chest was opened, and there were four items inside. [Evenlyn¡¯s Headband (accessory): All attributes +1, Reputation with the Light Elves -1.] ¡°A shiny white hair band.¡± The -1 reputation was very interesting because the Light Elves¡¯ reputation to all players was 0 by default. As long as it was reduced by 1, it would become indifference. Indifference meant that the animals in the Light Forest would take the initiative to attack you from time to time. If you were not careful and fought back, your reputation would drop rapidly. It could be said to be a trap full of malice. [Young Felolin Branch (short wand): Intelligence +2, Casting speed +0.12] ¡°A young branch of a Floreen Tree. Pure magic power is flowing on it.¡± As for the weapon, there was nothing much to say. This small wand could be used up to level 10 or so. The only problem was that the Floreen Tree was a symbiotic tree of the Light Elves. If a person with a bad reputation appeared in the Light Forest with it, he would be mistaken for a robber. [Blood-stained Broken Finger (ornament): Strength +1, Constitution +1, Charm +1.] The finger¡¯s from a dead person. Would anyone wear this thing on their body?¡± In ¡°Fantasy World,¡± accessories were a general concept. Things like brooches, hairpins, headbands, and even tattoos could be considered accessories. Apart from wearing it, it had another important use, which was to give gifts and increase favorability. Nothing was more suitable than giving an ornament. It was of little value, but it had extraordinary significance. Moreover, the hidden attributes of each accessory were not as hard to grasp as the equipment. They were very clear. To give a sad example, you tried your best to find a pure white heavy armor that contained holy power and gave it to the most powerful Paladin of the United Holy Empire, Laurentia, in an attempt to gain favorability. In the end, when Laurentia saw the armor, he used ¡°Wrath of Light¡± to kill you because the material of the armor was the skeleton of his seventh uncle, it was dug up by grave robbers for many years¡­ Accessories were fairly simple. Everything was written clearly, and the trap was written on it as well. For example, an ¡°Elven Headband¡± could be used to gain favorability, and it was best if the target was someone who would never go to the Light Forest in their life. Char took out a hair band and personally tied it for Ksenja. She glared at him charmingly, but she did not dodge. He gave the remaining two items to the two of them to choose from and picked up the fourth item. [Milolo Lux¡¯s Heart.] A warm heart, pink to the touch, still contracting and expanding. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Apple Pie asked. ¡°It¡¯s a witch¡¯s heart. You can release her from purgatory by crushing it.¡± ¡°Hey, is this the doing of that Dark Elf named Evelyn?¡± Evelyn not only sealed her heart but also let the Soul Sucking Monsters torture Milolo Lux to death. ¡°Maybe, I don¡¯t know.¡± Char shrugged. ¡°Finally, there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know!¡± Apple Pie patted her small chest as if she was relieved. Char did not know whether to laugh or cry. He patted her forehead and said, ¡°Get up. I¡¯m going to release her from purgatory.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it,¡± said Ksenja. Char shook his head and declined her kind offer. In Ksenja¡¯s mind, this kind of evil thing contained a very strong curse, and there would usually be side effects when destroyed. She did not want Char to be infected. The fact was that Milolo Lux¡¯s heart was cursed. If the witch destroyed it herself or manipulated others to do it, she would lose the chance to be free forever. However, if someone else destroyed it, that person would suffer the pain of the curse on behalf of Milolo Lux. It was a debuff that constantly reduced one¡¯s health points, and one would be chased by Evelyn forever. The one who cast the curse was Evelyn, an extremely perverted sadist Dark Elf. Unfortunately, her Soul Sucking Monsters had gone berserk, and she was trapped in her own home by a demon. In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, all the monsters, demonized beings, and magical summoners that were related to negative energy came from Zin¡¯rokh. The Destroyers of Worlds followed the will of the abyss and spread despair. When he judged that the world was so bad that it was beyond saving, he would destroy it. The appearance of the Rotten Forest, and the demonization of the wild beasts on this land were all caused by the mana that seeped out of the Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s nest. The Soul Sucking Monsters were indescribable magic summoners, and they were gifts from Zin¡¯rokh to the despairing people of this world in response to their prayers. Evelyn was such a despairing person. When she prayed, Zin¡¯rokh responded to her in the other world and gave her a weapon that was especially effective against spellcasters, the Soul Sucking Monsters. Then, when Zin¡¯rokh came to this world and built a nest, his mana skyrocketed and the monsters increased by five levels. Evelyn immediately could not suppress and control the Soul Sucking Monsters. She suffered heavy losses. That was why Char dared to destroy it with his own hands, without the slightest worry that the Dark Elves would find him through the curse. Char took over Ksenja¡¯s broadsword. 6 points of strength were enough for him to control her sword so that he would not miss the target. With a slash of the sword, the heart and the Floreen Tree behind it were split apart. Behind him, he could hear the witch screaming. The whole Rotten Forest was rustling, and it converged into a low wail. The sound slowly disappeared, and everything was settled. It was only dusk at that time, and the golden sunlight shone into the forest for the first time in decades. The fluorescent ferns attached to the tree trunk fell to the ground like dried mud. The Floreen Tree, which had lived and died with the Dark Elves, slowly withered and disappeared under the sunlight¡­ [You have killed Milolo Lux (soul form). You have received 2500 experience.] This was the full amount of experience points that Milolo Lux had gained, and it was truly a solo kill by Char. At the same time, a wisp of black Qi flowed out of his heart. [You¡¯ve been infected by Evelyn¡¯s poisonous kiss. You¡¯re losing 10% of your maximum health points every hour.] From the outside, it looked like he was wrapped in a wisp of black Qi. ¡°Char!¡± Ksenja immediately leaned over and looked at him with concern. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Char touched her face. ¡°There¡¯s definitely something wrong with them,¡± Apple Pie said in a low voice. ¡°This is a game for all ages. How bad can it be?¡± ¡°Hmph, I can¡¯t say for sure, but there must be a problem! This is a woman¡¯s intuition!¡± Air Conditioner smiled helplessly. After the Floreen Tree completely disappeared, a large hole was revealed in the ground. Char went in first, and the others followed closely behind. The underground tunnel was dark and long, and there was a faint sound coming from the front. It sounded like a woman¡¯s cry of pain. Her voice was extremely suppressed as if she was about to die in the next second. However, compared to the screaming of the witch, it was more like a sound that all four of them understood. The atmosphere was strange. The sound became louder and louder at the end of the tunnel, but it was blocked by a stone door. ¡°Be prepared.¡± Char turned around and reminded them with a strange expression. Then, he slowly turned the mechanism on the stone door. Char then pulled with force! Whoosh! The stone door was pulled open, and the woman¡¯s high-pitched scream suddenly became so clear. Other than Ksenja, the other three were temporarily dazed. Along with the sound, black, slimy tentacles also came out of the tunnel! It was simply overwhelming! Ksenja hurriedly swung her broadsword to block the attack, but the tunnel was too narrow for her to swing her sword well. She was also afraid of accidentally hurting others, so her controlled her movements to the minimum. Secondly, the power of the tentacle was far beyond her ability to resist. She was caught by the ankle and dragged into the stone door. Air Conditioner struggled the most and was sucked dry almost instantly, triggering the protective offline measures. The character died, and the person was forced to go offline. Char had dealt with the Soul Sucking Monsters too many times, so he completely gave up on resisting and acted like a dead person. The Soul Sucking Monsters only took away 10% of his health before losing interest in him. As for Apple Pie¡­ She was different. Not only was the female thief not afraid, but she was also very happy! ¡°Oh, my god. Don¡¯t tell me that he¡¯s a masochist?¡± Char was shocked, and his eyes happened to meet with Apple Pie¡¯s eyes¡­ ¡°He really is a¡­¡± A few seconds later, Apple Pie was sucked dry, and she was sent back to the cemetery. Seeing this, Char did not hesitate any longer. He stomped his foot and rushed through the stone door, chasing after Ksenja. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 15. Listen The Soul Sucking Monsters were level 45. They had low defense and attack, but they had high intelligence. This kind of monster only existed in the abyss and would not appear in the physical world. Only a traitor who had submitted to the will of the abyss could summon them, or they would be pulled out of the abyss by Zin¡¯rokh in the main world as cannon fodder. An ordinary Soul Sucking Monster was only one meter tall, and the eight tentacles in the front and back could extend to more than 20 meters. They were very tough and tasted great. They could be thick, thin, soft, and hard, and could also secrete a sticky, non-toxic liquid. The reason why Char knew so much about them was that Valkyrie Ortlinde had immediately mastered the skill of summoning Soul Sucking Monster after she had turned to the dark side. Other than sucking countless mages to death during their escape, she and Char had also developed many perverted ways of playing with them to relieve their loneliness. Char meant summoning Soul Sucking Monsters and then making them into takoyaki. It sounded very perverted. As for the Soul Sucking Monsters in front of him, they had already surpassed Evelyn due to the fact that Zin¡¯rokh had reached level 50. They had also reached a height of two meters, and their tentacles had grown to 12. When they were fully extended, they looked like a monster from the deep sea. The hall behind the stone door was almost unable to accommodate them! In the center was Evelyn, who was heavily surrounded and only revealed her face. The Dark Elf was protected by a faint purple shield that stuck to her skin like a piece of cloth. It was difficult for her to resist the squeezing force of the Soul Sucking Monsters. This was the Blood Shield, the Dark Elves¡¯ innate skill. Although the strength of the Soul Sucking Monsters was pitifully weak, they still had 60 points of strength at level 50. It was not something that Ksenja could fight against. In the blink of an eye, she was also dragged away by the tentacles. Char suddenly appeared and shouted at the Soul Sucking Monsters,¡± ¡°Akhali Mzduruishi Baharazabansen!¡± After its true name was called out, the Soul Sucking Monsters suddenly let out a shrill scream. Its huge body suddenly shrank back, returning to its two-meter height, and its tentacles curled up into a ball. Char seized the opportunity to grab Ksenja and ran out of the stone door without looking back. Only a second later, the Soul Sucking Monsterswith the long name realized that the one who called out its real name was just an ordinary human without any magic power. It was impossible for him to banish it back to the abyss! In an instant, a great humiliation filled their brains, and the tentacles grew crazily again. However, in this one second, Evelyn seized the opportunity and broke free from the restraints, running straight for the stone door. As a level 45 Dark Elf, her agility was as high as 170 points, and she caught up to Char in the blink of an eye. The door of freedom was close at hand. Evelyn swore that she would thank him properly after she got out of here alive. She would first give him supreme happiness, and then dismember him bit by bit with a small knife to vent her anger! Just you wait! Just as she was about to step out of the stone door, a broadsword the size of half a door slammed down with a force of a thousand pounds, causing a strong gust of wind. Normally, such a weak attack would not even bother Evelyn. However, she was very weak at that moment and did not dare to take this little bit of damage head on. She gritted her teeth and used [Shadowmeld]. Shadowmeld was another Dark Elf¡¯s innate skill. In places with no light, she could blend into the darkness and block all attacks. She could use it once every day. She had wanted to save it for the Soul Sucking Monsters behind her, but she had to dodge the attack first. However, the moment she activated the skill, there was a crack and a flash of fire. Bang! Bang! The flash deactivated [Shadowmeld], and Evelyn was sent flying back by Ksenja¡¯s sword! She could only watch as the stone door closed. ¡°No!¡± There was nothing more despairing than this. Freedom was right in front of her, but it slipped away through her fingers. The Soul Sucking Monsters once again covered the sky and the sun. Evelyn bit her finger and dark purple blood activated the complex patterns on her body, barely forming a light purple light shield to protect her. She leaned against the stone door and begged, ¡°Please¡­ Please, let me out of here. As long as you save me, I¡¯ll do anything you want¡­¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s voice was like that of a helpless girl, full of temptation. The charm attribute in ¡°Fantasy World¡± did not refer to the absolute value of appearance, but a measure of ¡°charm ability.¡± Except for special professions such as dancers and bards, the charm attribute would not increase with level. Regardless of the race, the player¡¯s initial charm was 5, the elves were 8, and Evelyn¡¯s charm was the maximum 10! This meant that any male creature, even the Paladin who abhorred evil, would treat her kindly on their first meeting until they discovered her true identity. However, this did not include Char. He was a cunning player and had interacted with Evelyn many times. How could he fall for her again? Therefore¡­ ¡°No,¡± Char said. His answer was simple. ¡°You f*cking b*stard!¡± Evelyn cursed. Char was no different from a human, but he was a Half-elf. If Evelyn¡¯s thoughts could kill people, she would have killed Char thousands of times! However, even though her expression was ruthless, she still looked pitiful when she spoke. ¡°Please¡­ Please save me¡­ I¡¯m willing to pay whatever the price it takes as long as you open this door¡­¡± She begged. ¡°Whatever the price?¡± Char asked. As soon as she heard that Char replying to her, she immediately increased her stakes. ¡°Yes, everything¡­ Including me¡­¡± She said. She bit her lips as she spoke with her delicate voice. It was hard to resist for Char. ¡°Remove my curse.¡± Curse? Evelyn was stunned for a second, and then she sensed the curse on Char¡¯s heart through the stone door. ¡°Did you kill Milolo Lux?¡± ¡°Yes, I did.¡± The Dark Elf was suddenly on guard. ¡°You¡¯ve come all the way here just to find me just to remove the curse?¡± She had always thought that Char was just an adventurer. After all, the tunnel to the crypt was not the only one that Milolo Lux had. ¡°You guess.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± The Dark Elf snorted and agreed while gritting her teeth. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do as you say!¡± She muttered a few incantations, and the black Qi was stripped from Char¡¯s body, returning to her body through the stone door. [The curse has been removed] ¡°Can you open the stone door now?¡± The tentacles knocked on the protective shield, and each time it hit on the shield, it made Evelyn¡¯s delicate body tremble. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead and dripped onto her chest. It was a pity that no one saw such a beautiful scene. ¡°You have to swear not to hurt me.¡± ¡°Good! I swear!¡± Evelyn quickly swore to the Night Lord, Svartalfheim, that she would never hurt Char. ¡°You¡¯re a traitor who has abandoned all living beings to the abyss. What¡¯s the use of this swearing¡­ If you don¡¯t care about time, we¡¯ll take our time.¡± Char said lazily. Evelyn was at a loss for words. She had underestimated him. Char was quite capable. He actually knew about the Dark Elves religion and could tell that she had betrayed the Dark Elves¡­ This was not an important piece of information, so she did not realize what kind of existence she was facing. She then took a deep breath. ¡°I, Evelyn, in the name of the abyss, swear to the Destroyer of World¡­¡± ¡°Use your real name, Miss Milliz Rose.¡± The sound behind the stone door disappeared in an instant, and it was eerily quiet. A few seconds later, Evelyn angrily punched the stone door. Bang! Bang! The dust on the stone door rustled down, but there was no sign of it opening. Breaking it by force would require at least 400 points of strength. ¡°Who are you? Why do you know my real name?¡± In an instant, Evelyn returned to her usual self. Rose was the royal family name of the Dark Elves, and Evelyn was once a candidate for the Queen. According to the rules, all the candidates would be offered to Svartalfheim to serve him. Then, only one of them would survive the Night Lord¡¯s brutal treatment and be recognized by the entire Dark Elf race, eventually becoming the Queen. This tradition had lasted for thousands of years. Evelyn was the first to stand up against it, but she was spurned and expelled by the race. Her limbs were broken, and she was imprisoned, waiting for the time to be presented to the Night Lord. When she was in despair, it was Zin¡¯rokh who answered her prayers. That was why she abandoned her original surname and transformed into the Queen of the Night, Evelyn, who controlled monsters and moved around on earth. Only a few people knew about this, and when Char called out that name, she knew that he had been playing with her. There was no doubt that the weak swordswoman¡¯s attack and the light that destroyed Shadowmeld were part of his plan. Char knew everything about her! She had already given up hope and was fully focused on defending herself from the tentacles. With her HP, she could last until the Soul Sucking Monsters weakened. Although she had to pay a huge price to maintain the Blood Shield, she could only do so at the moment. ¡°When I escape, I¡¯ll tie your intestines to the harpsichord and play with it,¡± Evelyn said in a cold voice. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that,¡± Char said with a smile. ¡°Evelyn, I know that your Blood Shield is strong enough to wear them out. I¡¯m just wondering how long your will can last.¡± ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s nonsense.¡± ¡°No¡­ Listen¡­¡± What the hell? Evelyn frowned slightly and listened to the other side of the door. Suddenly, the Dark Elf¡¯s expression changed! Could it be¡­ With her 170 points of perceptive sense, Evelyn heard everything on the other side of the stone door. Then, her shield began to fluctuate, flickering like a candle in the wind under the slaps of the Soul Sucking Spirits¡­ Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 16. The Power of the Contract After a while, the noise outside the door died down. Ksenja¡¯s hair was disheveled, and her body was drenched in sweat. Even though it was just a massage, Char¡¯s hands seemed to have magic. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard just now.¡± Char gently brushed away the hair on her forehead and left a kiss. Ksenja rolled her eyes at him, but she understood what he was referring to. Her voice was a little hoarse. With such a strong performance, the Dark Elves would probably be in trouble¡­ She heard that elves have excellent hearing. In fact, it was just as she had thought. Evelyn was in a terrible condition. The light purple Blood Shield fluctuated wildly. It was about to wear off at any moment. The tentacles slapped the shield wildly, and each time, it would shake the shield. Evelyn¡¯s brown skin was covered in sweat, and her cheeks were flushed as if she had a high fever and a cold. She was shivering all the time. She was dying. On one hand, she could not resist eavesdropping on the sounds From the other side of the door. On the other hand, she had to struggle against her desires while also having to spare some effort to maintain the Blood Shield. It was too difficult for the Dark Elves, who were already at the end of their rope. It was too difficult for her At this moment, Char¡¯s voice drifted over. ¡°Are you done thinking?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve thought it through. I swear!¡± Evelyn replied almost instantly. She could not care less. If she returned to the Soul Sucking Monsters in this state, she would definitely die any second! ¡°I, Milliz Rose, against the Destroyer of Worlds¡­¡± ¡°Stop for a moment. I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡± ¡°What? You despicable¡­¡± Evelyn almost exploded. ¡°I want you to swear allegiance to me.¡± What? The Dark Elf was stunned. The contract did not protect the person. The contract only punished the ones who betrayed the contract. However, the intensity of the punishment was dependent on the strength of the person who was worshipped. To her, the price of betraying Char was like being bitten by a mosquito. It was insignificant. Betraying existences such as the Seven Holy Spirits and the Son of the Abyss, Zin¡¯rokh, would easily lead to the destruction of one¡¯s soul. It was unfair for the weak to enslave the strong. He must have gone crazy and gotten carried away, thinking that his stupid kindness could move Evelyn. Evelyn sneered in her heart and quickly made an oath. She did not ask him if he was serious. No one could tamper with the rules of the contract. An invisible contract bound the two of them. [Level 45 Thief. Level 39 Cursemancer. Level 37 Drow Swordswoman. Evelyn (Real name: Milliz Rose) swears allegiance to you.] [Acquired contracted follower: Evelyn.] [Current contract binding power: Extremely weak.] [Contract protection for 10 seconds. Countdown begins.] [10¡­] [9¡­] Forced protection was equivalent to invincibility time, which meant that the contract would be forced to take effect for 10 seconds. After that, she could break free at any time. Of course, with Evelyn¡¯s character, she would definitely go back on her word after 10 seconds. However, it was enough for Char. He immediately opened the stone door when he saw the system notification. The moment the stone door opened, Evelyn rushed out, and behind her were the slippery tentacles. ¡°Akhali Mzduruishi Baharazabansen! In the name of Zin¡¯rokh, I order you to go back to the abyss!¡± Char shouted. Different from the last time, a trace of magic power was released from the level 39 Cursemancer, Evelyn¡¯s body. It intertwined with Char¡¯s words and formed a powerful spirit word. A black vortex appeared out of thin air and sucked the Soul Sucking Monsters into it. Before they were sucked into it, the tentacles reached out to Char¡¯s feet. [2¡­] [1¡­] The countdown also ended at the same time, and almost at the same time, Char flew up uncontrollably. [The Mage¡¯s Hand] was a skill that any cursemancer could use, and naturally, Evelyn was no exception. ¡°As thanks, I¡¯ll let you die a quick death, bastard,¡± She said hatefully. She said the same thing last time. Char pouted. ¡°Lucius is still alive.¡± ¡°What?¡± A pair of wings suddenly spread out behind Evelyn¡¯s back, and she flew high into the sky, grabbing Char¡¯s neck. ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°Get away from him!¡± Ksenja struggled to free herself from the pressure and pointed her broadsword at the Dark Elf. However, the latter just waved her hand like she was swatting a fly, and the broadsword broke into two with a crack. At the same time, invisible ropes interweaved and pressed her against the wall, making her unable to move. ¡°Speak. What do you know?¡± Evelyn¡¯s eyes stared coldly at Char. Char had experienced this scene over a hundred times, and he had also said obscenities over a hundred times. He knew the consequences of each of them, so he was not flustered at all. ¡°I know that she¡¯s still alive. Where she is. How to find and save her.¡± ¡°Tell me. Don¡¯t even think of threatening me.¡± As she spoke, she raised her hand and a black summoning channel appeared behind her. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll make you wish you were dead.¡± ¡°Heart Destruction Devil, huh? Are you sure I won¡¯t die from that thing rubbing against me?¡± Char asked with a smile. He had been waiting for this moment to happen. Even with the [Proof of Unity], his HP was only at 120 points. On the other hand, the level 41 Heart Destruction Devil had to deal damage before they could cause anyone to fall into state of confusion and pain. They dealt minimum damage, but it was enough to kill Char. Evelyn was stunned for a moment. Char had been acting too overbearing, and she mistakenly thought that he was strong¡­ However, it was only now that she realized that he was just an ordinary half-elf. Why did he know so much? Knowledge and strength were compatible, but he was not! Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Ksenja who was still struggling, and a cruel smile appeared on her face. Fortunately, Evelyn could start with Char¡¯s companion She looked at Char, her long nails scratching the side of his face, and she leaned over as her breath like an orchid. ¡°What if I summon the Demonic Beast Soldiers to torture your female companion to death?¡± ¡°You can try,¡± Char said with a smile. ¡°Do you really think that I dare not do so?¡± Evelyn released her hand and summoned the monsters with a cold face. Three red-skinned Demonic Beast Soldiers with bulging muscles walked out from the vortex behind her one after another. They followed their master¡¯s orders and looked at Ksenja. The desire to destroy everything in their eyes was undisguisable. ¡°Wazimken, Tagandi, and Kimlog. In the name of the Dark Moon, Lord Canbala, I allow the three of you to break the contract! Demonic Beast Soldiers, die for freedom!¡± Char suddenly shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the three Demonic Beast Soldiers reddened before they could even take a step forward! The three of them turned around at the same time and faced Evelyn, breathing out hot breath with the smell of sulfur. The Dark Elf was completely confused. She took half a step back. ¡°You bunch of dirty and lowly pigs! Don¡¯t you know who your master is?¡± ¡°Waaaaaagh!¡± The three red-skinned Demonic Beast Soldiers charged at her in a triangular formation. The Dark Elf quickly let go of Char and bound them with the power of the contract. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Waaaaaaaagh!¡± The binding only lasted for a second before it broke! The Demonic Beast Soldiers charged forward at her again! As a level 45 Thief, the binding power was enough to kill three of them if she was at her peak. After all, the level range of the Demonic Beast Soldiers was only 35 to 40. However, she was much weaker at that moment. After the binding force, the three Demonic Beast Soldiers were only seriously injured but not dead! On the other hand, the Demonic Beast Soldiers that went berserk had higher HP! ¡°Damn you, pig! Maggots! You ¡­ You can all go to hell!¡± Amidst the screams, the battle ended in a flash. Evelyn did not dare to drag on for too long. She cut off the necks of the three Demonic Beast Soldiers, but she also suffered two punches and a kick. She panted as she fell into a pool of blood. This time, she was really at her end and was seriously injured. She was unable to maintain her restraint on Ksenja. As soon as she fell into a pool of blood, the swordswoman rushed forward. ¡°Ksenja!¡± Char quickly stopped her. This scene also made him feel a lot of emotions. This was the 124th time. The same scene had been played 124 times. Evelyn had never given him any new ideas, even if he had other tricks up his sleeve. ¡°What a pity, Evelyn. I¡¯ve won again this time¡­¡± Char mumbled. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 17. The Most Dazzling Strategy in History Evelyn knew that she would not be able to live past today. First, she had endured the ravages of the Soul Sucking Monsters for so long. Then, she had used all her HP to maintain the Blood Shield. She was injured by the Demonic Beast Soldiers as well. In addition to the backlash from the contract, she had almost all the debuffs of her attributes. She wanted to know an answer before she died. ¡°How is Lucius?¡± She asked. Lucius was her only friend and female lover when she was still in Andaheim (The Dark Elves¡¯ Underground Kingdom). Behind every sadist, there was a masochist who was silently enduring it. Lucius was the masochist. At the same time, it was also Lucius who encouraged her to fight against her fate and the Night Lord, Svartalfheim. When Evelyn¡¯s arms and legs were broken, and she was locked up, it was the help of Lucius that kept her alive until Zin¡¯rokh responded to her plea. Later, she broke out of prison and was hunted down by Svartalfheim. Lucius was the only one who helped her escape, and in the end, Lucius was dragged back by the guards. According to the Dark Elf laws, she would have died a horrible death. In her eyes, Lucius was already dead, so she had never told anyone about it. However, the name of Lucius had appeared in the mouth of a Half-elf. There was only one possibility¡­ He had met Lucius before, or perhaps he knew where she was! At this point, the Dark Elf was calmer than ever. She tried her best to guess what Char wanted in exchange for an answer. ¡°I can tell you the location of the monster nests nearby, as well as the monster¡¯s hidden spots I¡¯ve hidden in various villages and towns in the name of the Dark Brotherhood, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of Lucius.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not interested in those things.¡± ¡°Then what are you interested in? Are you interested in me?¡± Evelyn sneered. If your female companion doesn¡¯t mind, we can do it here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in the current you. I still prefer the Evelyn who runs in the forest during the day.¡± Char sighed. ¡°What the hell are you talking about?¡± Evelyn frowned. Char made her feel disgusted, and she had never run in the forest while bathing in the morning light. How laughable. How could a filthy Dark Elf be fit to be in such a sacred place? ¡°There will be a chance.¡± Char laughed. ¡°Back to the topic. Do you still have enough mana to summon a Greevil? ¡± ¡°I can, but why?¡± ¡°Do as I say.¡± ¡°And then you¡¯ll tell me the whereabouts of Lucius? ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The Dark Elf thought that this was impossible, but she still held on to hope. Even if Char was lying to her, she could still die with a smile when she heard good news before she died. Lucius was the last barrier between her and the abyss. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do as you say.¡± The stubbornness in the Dark Elf¡¯s eyes softened, and the fire of hope was gradually ignited. Char pouted. Although he had repeated it many times, the longing in her eyes still made him sigh. This character was much sadder than the NPCs in the novice village. Lucius was indeed alive, and not only was she alive, but she had also become the Queen of Andaheim. Lucius was actually a b*tch¡­ From the very beginning, she had been coveting to become the Queen of Andaheim. Thus, she tried her best to get close to Evelyn, encouraging and instigating her to rebel against the Night Lord. However, instead of dying, she became a believer of Zin¡¯rokh. She hurriedly planned a prison break and let her go. Instead of being punished after being captured, Lucius replaced Evelyn as a candidate to be offered to the Night Lord. In the end, the woman miraculously survived and became the Queen of Andaheim. A year later, when she learned that Evelyn was still alive, she would disguise her identity and approach Evelyn in an attempt to assassinate her. She knew that the Night Lord desired Evelyn the most, and the other characters were just background characters. However, she resisted the Night Lord and chose to believe in Zin¡¯rokh at the last moment. Although the Night Lord was strong, in front of the Destroyers of Worlds, he was nothing. If Svartalfheim knew what she had done, he would definitely kill her. Thus, Lucius tried to silence Evelyn at all costs. However, Evelyn did not know any of this. In her mind, Lucius was still the incarnation of the angel, the only thing left in the world that was true, kind, and beautiful. It was also the last barrier that prevented Evelyn from completely falling into the abyss. Just as Char was sighing, Evelyn summoned a level 20 Greevil. This monster looked like a moving pitcher plant. Its teeth were fine and dense, and a pair of small fleshy wings spread out on its back. As soon as it was summoned, it bit the air madly, but it was controlled by Evelyn. ¡°Is that enough?¡± Char nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t move yet. Summon another Magic Sucking Eel and a Blood Leech.¡± ¡°You¡­ Sigh, alright.¡± Evelyn furrowed, but she gave in to Char¡¯s unquestionable gaze. Char was trying to get her to summon some low-level monsters that would not consume much mana, but she was the one who could not hold on much longer. She sighed and felt like a clown. She could only continue her performance helplessly. A twisted and entangled Magic Sucking Eel and a Blood Leech that was even more twisted than the it appeared. ¡°Let the Greevil eat them.¡± Evelyn did as he was told. The Greevil¡¯s stomach took up 70% of its body. The Blood Leech and the Magic Sucking Eel were crazily biting and twisting in its stomach, and Greevil was rolling on the ground in pain. ¡°Start a fire.¡± Bang! ¡°And then¡­¡± Char quickly explained another four to five steps to Evelyn. Gradually, the impatience in Evelyn¡¯s eyes disappeared. She vaguely realized that Char seemed to be going through some complicated alchemy experiment. Everything was ready. The Greevil, who had eaten a stomach full of demons, was like a drunkard, with his tongue hanging out. It was held in the mouth of the devil vine, the Greevil did not about it. The devil vine was also soaked in the boiling evil blood and did not know its own situation. Bang! Char snapped his fingers as if he had just completed a major project. ¡°Finally, drop a drop of blood into the mouth of the Greevil. Your blood.¡± Evelyn did as he was told. Then, he stared at the Greevil. Even though Char seemed to be playing with her, it was better to witness such an interesting experiment at the last moment of her life than to die at the hands of a Soul Sucking Monster. The dark purple blood dripped in, and as if some balance was broken, the delicate building blocks collapsed. The Greevil¡¯s stomach suddenly expanded. The devil vine immediately opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Greevil. Bang! The Greevil exploded in its mouth with a muffled sound. However, it was restrained, and not a single drop of blood spilled out. The devil vine was severely injured by the explosion. The surface of its body cracked open, and dark green liquid mixed with thick black juice oozed out of its body, flowing into the boiling evil blood. Under the distillation of the flame, the mixture quickly condensed, as if some kind of suction force had been born, sucking away the essence of all the substances in it, and finally fusing into a pool of sticky substance the size of a fist. ¡°Here. Drink this,¡± Char said. Evelyn frowned and forced herself to drink it. She could not live on anyway. A few seconds after she finished drinking, her eyes suddenly widened! She looked at Char in a daze. ¡°How did you do it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a secret,¡± Char chuckled. At the same time, a system notification popped up. [Evelyn¡¯s favorability toward you has increased by 75000 points, from hate to neutral.] Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 18. Yes, I¡¯m Interested in You. Evelyn was a contradictory yet simple person. She was very stubborn and difficult to change, but once she changed her opinion about something or someone, she would firmly believe in it. She had always thought that Char was either sent to kill her or to humiliate her, so she had been hostile to her even though Char had saved her. After that, Char instigated the Demonic Beast Soldiers to fight back, their hostility turned into hatred¡­ It would be very difficult to repair this crack with normal methods. Not to mention the difficulty, she was about to die, so how could she make up for it? In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, other than the village chief who was represented by a number, the other NPCs were unique. If they died, they really died, and their responsibilities would be taken over by others. That was why Char used this method to prove her innocence. Did you think I was here to harm you? No, Char was here to save her. It was impossible for her to be worried that Char would add poison to the potion¡­ Char brewed the potion in front of her, and he used her summoning to do so. This was the conclusion he had come to after hundreds of reincarnations. It was the fastest and most gaudy way to dispel her worries. There were several reasons for her injury, but whether it was the Soul Sucking Monsters, the Demonic Beast Soldiers, or the effects of the contract, they were all closely related to the abyss. The formula for Char¡¯s potion came from Zin¡¯rokh. After the Destroyer of Worlds was turned into Char¡¯s pet in a certain round, it lay down at his feet and told him what the abyss was. To put it simply, the abyss was an incubation pool filled with all kinds of materials and negative emotions. When Zin¡¯rokh had nothing to do, he would soak in the pool and create a character. As the creator, Zin¡¯rokh knew how to create various monsters. Char had memorized almost all the alchemy formulas. When the two were combined, the so-called monster summoning became Char¡¯s method of summoning materials out of thin air. If it was not for the lack of material in the abyss, which was less than one percent of the material world, he could have finished the game even earlier. He could use the materials to replenish his magic power and strengthen himself. He was probably the only person in the world who could complete such a dazzling strategy. Since the potion had cured her, her debuff was wiped clean in one breath. Although her HP was still low, it was only a matter of time before she fully recovered. At the same time, his reputation had also returned to its original state. When Char revealed the secret with a smile, Evelyn could not help but laugh. Char¡¯s appearance was obviously very annoying, but she could not refute it. The b*stard was indeed full of secrets. ¡°As a token of appreciation, follow me.¡± Evelyn then stood up. The moment she spoke, Char reached out as if to help her. Evelyn stood up in surprise, not understanding what Char was going to do. As expected, she did not use much strength and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Char caught her. From Ksenja¡¯s point of view, it looked as if Evelyn was leaning on Char¡¯s hand. Hmph! What a lewd woman! The swordswoman was on high alert. Even though she could not defeat her opponent, she still leaned forward and blocked like a shield! With Char¡¯s help, Evelyn fell into a daze. Did he know that I would fall to the ground? ¡°What are you doing? Do you want me to take you to the Howling Cave?¡± Char said. ¡°You know about the Howling Cave? How did you know?¡± Asked Evelyn. ¡®It was a secret.¡¯ Char mouthed the answer. ¡°Secret, huh? Hmph¡­¡± Evelyn glanced at Ksenja as leaned even closer to Char. She wrapped her soft arms around Char¡¯s neck and gave him a deep kiss on the lips. ¡°Now, can you share your secret with me?¡± The Dark Elf hugged Char, her chest pressing against him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not that kind of person,¡± Char said righteously, pushing her away and holding Ksenja¡¯s hand. If Char did not push her away by putting his hands on her breast, it would be even more convincing. This kiss¡­ It was exactly what Char wanted. It had been a long time. ¡°Oh, is that so¡­¡± The Dark Elf licked her lips and stood with her arms crossed, looking at Ksenja provocatively. Ksenja hugged Char¡¯s arm tightly and stuck close to him. Her sense of crisis was getting stronger and stronger. Most importantly, she could not beat Evelyn. The atmosphere was a little tense, and Char knew it. It was not the time to say that they belonged to him. He still had to reconcile them. ¡°Before I leave, there are some things I want to make clear,¡± He said word by word to Evelyn. ¡°Please apologize.¡± The Dark Elf was slightly taken aback. She then smiled and bowed deeply. She had an etiquette of a Queen ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my dear. I¡¯ve frightened you,¡± She said. Char chuckled. How could he not know that this was a joke? The position of Queen candidate was the identity that Evelyn hated the most. Those overelaborate formalities were also the things she hated the most. She was completely trampling on the Dark Elves¡¯ traditions. The more the Dark Elves of Andaheim cherished and valued something, the more she wanted to tear it off, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it! This was not an apology at all. It was not what Char wanted either. ¡°You misunderstood me. I want you to apologize to Ksenja. Your words and actions just now insulted her, and you even broke her weapon,¡± Char said. ¡°Oh?¡± Evelyn slowly raised her head, her purple eyes filled with disdain. ¡°Are you serious?¡± In the end, she was still the Queen. Even though Char knew that Evelyn was a coy little woman with a masochist¡¯s heart hidden under her sleazy exterior¡­ The neutral favorability could only guarantee that she would treat Char equally. In Evelyn¡¯s eyes, Ksenja was just a dispensable accessory to Char. How could she apologize to an accessory? ¡°Of course, I¡¯m serious.¡± ¡°B*stard, I can kill you.¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t dare to,¡± Char said as if he was not afraid of death at all. ¡°Lucius is still alive, living very well. If you want to know more, then please apologize to her. ¡± He knew Evelyn very well, and she would definitely take the bait. To this stubborn and arrogant Queen, he had to peel off her outer layer bit by bit and reveal her core before he could start conquering her again. He had tried the normal strategy, which was to get the NPCs to do whatever they liked, just like what he had told Moonlight¡­ Although the result was a success, the process was¡­ Tsk, tsk, tsk¡­ He did not want to recall the process. Sure enough, she had her weak spot, and she could not kill Char. She gritted her teeth in hatred, but could only helplessly lower her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Ksenja¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve forgiven you!¡± Ksenja was so easy to coax, she immediately kissed Char¡¯s cheek delightedly, and her face turned red in embarrassment. This interlude completely ruined Evelyn¡¯s little plan of making fun of others, and she silently led the way. The three of them passed through two stone doors and arrived at the Howling Cave. It was a small underground temple, and it was also the quiet room where Evelyn prayed to Zin¡¯rokh. ¡°Were the monsters that harmed the villagers born here?¡± Ksenja asked warily. Char patted her hand. ¡°All monsters are infected by the abyss, and mana is a substance that forms the world. It¡¯s everywhere, like a river. The descent of Zin¡¯rokh caused the river to surge, and this place became a reservoir.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t destroy it?¡± ¡°Yes, we can¡¯t. Otherwise, the mana will go out of control, just like a tsunami, destroying everything.¡± Their conversation was overheard by Evelyn, and she looked at Char strangely. He was right, but with such a high level of understanding of mana, was Char really just an ordinary person? Once again, the saying that knowledge and strength were compatible lost its credibility. Forget it, he was full of suspicions after all. The three of them came to the center of the cave, and Evelyn finally spoke. However, she did not ask about Lucius. ¡°How do you know the real names of the Soul Sucking Monsters and the Demonic Beast Soldiers? You even knew about their original master? As their master, even I don¡¯t know who created them.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the price first.¡± Char got up and walked to the rune cabinet as if there was no one else around. There was a stone with moss. He scraped off the mosses and removed the cover of the cabinet. Then, under the shocked gaze of Evelyn, he opened the rune lock and took out a magic bead the size of a goose egg¡­ That was not all. He went to the spell box, and his finger drew a twisted pattern in the air. Like a screensaver, he opened the box and took out a Rune Greatsword that was plated with Mithril! [Light of Dawn (Greatsword): Ancient magic weapon. Strength 25, Constitution 15. Attack power = 2.25*AD, Strength +5, Constitution +5.] [Level 4 Dawn: Able to cast light once every day without any cost.] ¡°The light of dawn, reveal.¡± ¡°I want these two things. I¡¯ll give you the answer you want.¡± After saying that, Char struggled to carry the greatsword and gave it to Ksenja. ¡°Keep this greatsword for your use. Give the magic bead to the village chief, and he¡¯ll know what to do.¡± ¡°But Char¡­¡± She said. No buts,¡± Char smiled and said. ¡°Alright, my dear. You can go back first. Wait for me outside.¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t leave you here alone!¡± said Ksenja, panicking. ¡°Think about little Tifa.¡± Char looked at her seriously. As expected, Ksenja hesitated. Her burning gaze lingered on Char¡¯s face for a moment, and she suddenly hugged him tightly, her body wrapped around him like a pool of water that was boiling. Tired of watching, Evelyn coughed and the two separated. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you, I¡¯ll always wait for you! If you don¡¯t come back, I¡¯ll come to find you after I¡¯ve settled down Tifa!¡± Ksenja glared at Evelyn, causing the Dark Elf to shiver. What kind of terrifying gaze was that? A weak human swordswoman actually made her feel a chill down her spine¡­ A woman in love was really scary. After sending Ksenja off, Char finally relaxed a little. He had never been worried about his own life, but he was worried about Ksenja. He did not have to worry about anything after Ksenja left, and he could naturally do as he pleased. ¡°Let¡¯s sign another contract, Miss Evelyn. You were right. I¡¯m interested in you,¡± Char said with a smile. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chapter 19. Come and Sign a Contract With Me, Young Lady! ¡°I knew it.¡± Instead of getting angry, Evelyn changed her posture. She was originally sitting on a stone bench, her two full legs crossed. Now, she leaned back slightly against the table and looked at him with her arms crossed, accentuating the curves of her chest. There were three different classes of Dark Elves. The Thief was the highest level, so she was wearing leather armor. With the principle that the more it was exposed, the higher its defense, the defense level of the leather armor was frighteningly high. In addition, the Soul Sucking Monsters had damaged the leather armor, making Evelyn almost naked. However, she clearly knew how to stimulate a man¡¯s desire to the greatest extent. A few pieces of broken leather armor hung firmly on her body, and would not fall off no matter how hard she moved. ¡°You¡¯re so confident that I won¡¯t be angry at you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Char shrugged. In front of Evelyn, if one¡¯s reputation was lower than neutral, speaking in such a way was prohibited. However, when it went above neutral, and even slightly toward friendly, this was very much to her liking. She was especially happy when the weak resisted unyieldingly. ¡°Only an idiot would accept his fate. ¡°I¡¯m getting more and more curious about you.¡± She licked her lips and suddenly closed in. Her speed was so fast that it was impossible to follow with the naked eye. ¡°How do you know all this? You know what I¡¯m talking about¡­¡± ¡°I know because I¡¯m the Chosen One,¡± Char said. ¡°You?¡± The Chosen one?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ll never die, and everything I have experienced will become nutrients for my growth. I have a future that mortals can¡¯t measure. I¡¯m the Chosen One who was born at the right time, and I exist to fight against the Destroyers of Worlds. ¡°The knowledge was directly instilled into me by the Seven Holy Spirits. That¡¯s why I know all of this.¡± For the first time, Evelyn¡¯s expression became nervous as if she was facing a great enemy. God¡¯s Chosen One was an identity given to players in ¡°Fantasy World,¡± and their purpose was to fight against Zin¡¯rokh. Therefore, they were her real enemies, and she could not help but be nervous. Most importantly, no one from Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s side understood anything about the Chosen One. Nonsense. The server had just opened, where would he get the opportunity to accumulate all of this information? Even most of the native NPCs had not figured out where this group of people had come from! Although the fate of God¡¯s Chosen One was similar to that of Planet Azure in the future, the title was best used to scare people off. Evelyn was intimidated. ¡°But why do you want me?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re a pure girl, and God¡¯s Chosen One is just a normal hero. As a hero, I like pure girls with huge boobs. What¡¯s wrong with me liking a dark-skinned Dark Elf with huge boobs?¡± Char righteously and calmly stated his sexual fetishes. At first, Evelyn was in a daze. Then, her gaze became complicated. Finally, she laughed at herself. ¡°A pure girl¡­ Ha¡­ You must be kidding me¡­ I¡¯m a dirty Dark Elf with slutty and filthy blood flowing in my body. Pure¡­ Haha. That word is more suitable to describe the noble victors in the forest.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m sure you¡¯re pure. You¡¯re no different from the elves in the forest, just that your skin is a little darker. But I like the dark-skinned girl.¡± ¡°Stop joking around!¡± Evelyn shouted in anger as if she had been greatly insulted. ¡°That¡¯s the end of the joke. Don¡¯t insult me with that word, and¡­¡± She looked at Char sarcastically.¡±Do you think that a Dark Elf who can summon Demonic Beast Soldiers would be a pure girl?¡± As expected, she was so disgusted with herself that she would fabricate lies to disgust Char. However, Char pouted when he heard that. ¡°How is that possible? You didn¡¯t even give your first time to Lucius¡­¡± ¡°You!¡± Evelyn was so worked up as she lifted Char up. However, she was afraid that she would hurt Char, so she quickly put him down gently, as if she was protecting something fragile. Her disguise had been ruthlessly exposed. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe that the Seven Holy Spirits would tell you such a thing! How did you find out?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a secret. The secret of the Chosen One.¡± Char smiled. In fact, this was what Lucius had told him, and it was a tearful complaint. In a certain timeline, after Char found out Lucius¡¯ true purpose, he thought of a way to unite the Holy Kingdom and the Light Forest to attack Andaheim. They pushed through the enemy¡¯s forces, and in the end, when the two armies fought, they went to the back and captured the Queen of the Dark Elves, Lucius. He tried to get Lucius to speak, only to find that the elf was a masochist! Not only did those methods fail to make her speak, but they also made her feel comfortable¡­ Later on, he found out about this matter. Evelyn hated the Dark Elves, so she also hated men. Thus, Lucius was her only partner. Therefore, she was still a pure and innocent young girl. Evelyntook a deep breath. After she calmed down, she felt that the guy in front of her was very cute. He was so cute that Evelyn could help but want to kiss him. She could not scold not hit him, and Char continued to flirt with her Evelyn still had a terrible feeling¡­ Char understood him very well. The faint compassion in his eyes from time to time touched her heart, and it made her furious. Why was he pitying her? Why did he pity her with those eyes that look like he had seen through everything? Evelyn did not need anybody to pity her. ¡°So, let¡¯s sign a contract, young lady. It¡¯s a very fair cooperative contract. You should know how terrible the binding power of this thing is. It¡¯s almost just a formality. Are you not confident in your charm? I¡¯ve already said it so bluntly, but you still don¡¯t believe that it¡¯s love at first sight?¡± Char asked. ¡°How can you fall in love so easily?¡± ¡°Fall in love so easily? What do you mean by this?¡± Char asked, ¡°Are you talking about Ksenja? I was protecting her before. As a Chosen One, is it wrong to protect a weak human?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still pretending! Just now, outside the stone door, you guys clearly are¡­¡± ¡°Just look at you, blushing when you say something like that, and you still call yourself dirty and slutty? Tsk, tsk, tsk¡­ Clearly what? I just gave her a full massage. What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°A massage?¡± Evelyn was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. ¡°Then why are her clothes unbuttoned?¡± ¡°Nonsense! You have to remove her clothes to perform a massage, right?¡± ¡°Then, then why did she moan?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll moan as well if I were to give you a massage!¡± ¡°Why is she sweating?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll sweat as well if I were to give you a massage!¡± ¡°But she¡­¡± Evelyn realized that she was at a loss for words! ¡°What else do you want to ask? It was just a massage. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re thinking the wrong way!¡± Char spoke in high spirits, and Evelyn was too embarrassed to show her face. ¡°Do you still have an excuse now? Sign the contract, and you¡¯ll get information on Lucius.¡± At first, he made some jokes to make her relax, and he suddenly shifted back to the main topic. The Dark Elf only thought for a few seconds before nodding. ¡°I agree.¡± Chapter 20 - A Random High Priest Chapter 20. A Random High Priest The Seven Holy Spirits were a Tangram made of a pile of energy bodies, and also like a constellation in the night sky. There was a guy in the shape of a scale, which represented contracts and rules. It was called the Holy Spirit of Order, which gave all contracts clear binding power. The collaborative contract was the weakest of the dozens of contracts because it could be unilaterally torn without any punishment. Even mercenaries would not sign this thing with their employers. After the contract ceremony ended, Evelyn looked at her hand curiously. Most of her power had been sealed, and she had returned to Level 1. However, the binding power was like a layer of paper. She could break through it at any time and return to level 45. As Char¡¯s level increased, her power would slowly recover until she reached level 45. That was because her upper limit was level 45. In ¡°Fantasy World,¡± most NPCs would not experience drastic changes in their levels. A few of them who had special experiences and talents would only level up faster than the players. Only by killing Lucius with her own hands, or by knowing the truth, would Evelyn fall into the abyss and level up 90 instantly. It was like cheating ¡°I¡¯m curious why you insist on doing this¡­¡± said Evelyn. ¡°I¡¯m just craving your body,¡± Char said. Evelyn rolled her eyes. She would never believe this answer. ¡°Now, can you tell me the answer?¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Char said as he looked up. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± As soon as she asked the question, there was a loud bang above her head! The Howling Cave shook, and sand and stone fell down. Worried that the two of them would be buried alive, Evelyn was about to break the contract and force her way out, but Char pulled her back. At this moment, the ceiling of the cave was suddenly pierced by a beam of golden light that was like a sharp sword. Moist soil fell down with fresh air. The Holy Light was like a spotlight in the center of the stage, and a figure slowly landed from the light. The robe of the Church of Judgment had a white base and red edges. The overall style was simple. However, the High Priest had a huge pair of breasts. She was like a cow, the cross-shaped pendant on her chest creating a deep ravine on her soft robe. ¡°The High Priest!¡± In a moment of excitement, Evelyn subconsciously wanted to run, but Char did not let go. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here.¡± He gave the Dark Elf a confident smile and walked toward her. ¡°Respected High Priest.¡± He bowed respectfully. ¡°I can feel the blessing on you. You are the one chosen by God.¡± The priest¡¯s voice was sweet. The light vanished, revealing a delicate young face. It was hard to imagine that the level 50 Priestess of Astan City, Miss Mia, was only 18 years old. In all senses, she was the only High Priest with such a pair of huge boobs in Astan City. This angelic girl¡¯s initial favorability toward all legal citizens was friendly, and her favorability toward the Chosen One was even higher. was even If you meet Miss Mia who woke up early in the morning on the streets of Astan City, she would give you a sweet smile and give you a blessing huge that increases your defense. Char could already imagine how the players would view her as a goddess. ¡°Blessed Child of God, please step aside. Behind you is a monster that threatens the world. I¡¯ll purify her.¡± After smiling, Mia revealed a determined expression. Evelyn began to panic. She realized that even if she broke the contract, she might not be able to escape. Why did a High Priest suddenly come looking for him? She was so strong! Had this damned brat been waiting for this moment? Just as she was feeling uncertain, Char suddenly opened his arms and shouted, ¡°No, High Priest. I swear that she¡¯s kind and not corrupted by the monsters.¡± Mia tilted her head and cast (Purification) on Char. This was much more powerful than Enke Wester¡¯s. The golden light was like a tsunami, bathing his whole body. Char was fearless as he raised his head. Mia covered her mouth in surprise. ¡°Eh? You¡¯re not harmed¡­ But why are you protecting a monster?¡± ¡°She¡¯s not a monster, at least not now, Priestess,¡± ¡°But she¡­¡± Mia looked at Evelyn, her eyes suddenly bulging, looking extremely cute. ¡°Hey! Why did she become so weak?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a contract, High Priest. We¡¯ve signed a master-servant contract,¡± Char clenched his fists and said emotionally. ¡°Under my persuasion, she understood what is truth, kindness, and beauty. She decided to abandon the power of evil and start from scratch with me. We¡¯ll pursue happiness and freedom together! Did you see that? Even if she was once a monster, she has now been convinced by me and given up all her powers. God asked you to reform the world and do more good deeds. I also followed his teachings and took it as my responsibility to reform demons. Now I have done it!¡± She had a strange look in her eyes and had to lower her head to suppress the urge to laugh. She was even more puzzled.. Could it be that Char knew that the priestess was coming, so he did this in advance? If that was the case, then it was¡­ It was too terrifying. On the other side, the priestes knocked her little head, a little puzzled. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She did not appear by chance, but a signal from a nearby village. That was right. It was the novice village where Char was born. Ksenja rushed back to the village without stopping and handed the Magic Bead to the village chief. The village chief immediately used it to activate the alarm signal in the center of the village. A magic pillar shot up into the sky like a beacon, informing the observer of the location of the source of the mana through a special communication method. According to the normal plot, this would only happen after Evelyn died, and her loot was discovered, so she did not know about this at all. As a result, the High Priest of Astan city, Miss Mia, descended. Char¡¯s timing was just right, not a minute off, not a second more. Almost as soon as the contract was completed, the Priestess rushed over. She did not see the process of the contract being formed, only the results. On the other hand, there was not much difference between the master-servant contract and the collaborative contract. At least, Evelyn was very obedient at that moment. ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­ You did the right thing¡­ But¡­¡± Mia bit her lips and put on a pitiful look. ¡°But how is Mia going to report this to¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s simple!¡± Char patted her chest, turned around, and opened the storage box in Evelyn¡¯s hands. She took out all the loot that she had collected and threw them on the ground. ¡°This should be enough!¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s heart was bleeding. She pinched Char¡¯s waist and gritted her teeth, ¡°Master, you¡¯re really generous, hahahaha¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± Char stroked her hair as if she was a cat. ¡°Eh? But I still don¡¯t know how to explain this to the Archon¡­¡± Mia tilted her head. ¡°People need to eat to live, right?¡± Char asked. ¡°Yeah, people need to eat to survive.¡± ¡°You have to pay for food, right?¡± ¡°Oh, yes! You have to spend money to buy bread. There are many poor children in Astan City who can¡¯t afford to eat!¡± Snap! Char snapped his fingers and pointed at the loot on the ground. ¡°These can be exchanged for money, and money can solve everything. As long as you can bring them back and exchange them for money, you can save more poor people!¡± Mia blinked. ¡°But¡­ But where are the monsters?¡± ¡°They ran away! After you came, you did not see any monsters at all, only the spoils of war! If we chase after the monsters, these things will be stolen by the greedy people who hear the news and we can¡¯t exchange them for money.¡± ¡°Ah? Isn¡¯t this a lie? It¡¯s wrong to lie to¡­¡± ¡°How can you call this lying?¡± Char¡¯s face was filled with justice. ¡°This is called flexible! The one in front of you isn¡¯t a monster, but a weak Dark Elf like me, Miss Evelyn, who has decided to start all over again.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts, Priestess. Do you want to kill a weak, self-redeemed monster to defend your faith, or be a little more flexible and bring back enough wealth to save the poor? One side is a meaningless massacre, the other side is a genuine act of kindness. Which one do you choose?¡± SSS It was like an open-ended question for Mia, so she chose the latter without hesitation. The High Priest nodded hard as her full chest trembled. ¡°Hmm! I understand!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Char.¡± [Mia¡¯s favorability toward you has increased.] ¡°Don¡¯t call me High Priest. Just call me Mia!¡± Mia tore a return scroll, and a blue door appeared beside her. She then walked in with a bunch of things. Before she left, she stuck her head out and said, ¡°Bye-bye, Char. If you need anything, come to Astan city to find me!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± After sending off the reckless Priestess, Char turned around and saw that Evelyn was looking at him with a complicated expression. (Evelyn¡¯s favorability toward you has increased.] Chapter 21 - Thats Cheap. Chapter 21. That¡¯s Cheap. ¡°I understand Burwell. He¡¯s a very capable human,¡± said Evelyn faintly. ¡°I¡¯ve planted two spies, but they were both discovered by him.¡± Burwell was the Consul of Astan City. The town belonged to the United Holy Kingdom, which was jointly managed by the human kingdom and the judgment church. The Consul was the agent appointed by the human kingdom and one of the two decision-makers of Astan City, holding the administrative power. You might not believe it when the other person in charge said it¡­ It was the Priestess of Astan City, Miss Mia. Yes, this 18-year-old girl. However, with her intelligence, it was already difficult to solve an equation, so how could she manage the town? Therefore, it was said that Burwell¡¯s word did not go against Astan City, and Miya was completely a cute mascot. ¡°Do you think Burwell will be fooled by your lies?¡± The Dark Elf asked. Char snorted and shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no flaw in the lie itself. After all, no one has verified it¡­ But Burwell knows Mia¡¯s intelligence better than anyone else. How could she come up with such logic¡­¡± ¡°Then why did you let her¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Burwell will pretend he didn¡¯t notice and then take a large sum of money. I asked Mia to take away the ancient and medieval magical equipment you stored to shut him up. Burwell was afraid of being poor when he was young, so even if he managed to get to the position of Consul, the most difficult thing to resist was women and gold coins, so¡­¡± Char rubbed his head. ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯re free now, Miss Evelyn who has turned over a new leaf.¡± ¡°Free my ass¡­ Do you think I won¡¯t tear up the contract and kill you right now? Didn¡¯t you call yourself God¡¯s Chosen One? The Chosen Ones are immortal!¡± ¡°But you won¡¯t do that!¡± Char replied, but Evelyn only grunted in response. ¡°Hmph, where¡¯s the ¡®answer¡¯ we agreed on? You liar!¡± ¡°It¡¯s with Mia¡­¡± ¡°What!¡± Evelyn¡¯s voice was raised by an octave. ¡°You mean the Priestess with huge boobs?¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt!¡± ¡°Alright, yes, the answer lies with Mia.¡± Char threw up his hands. ¡°Are you angry? If you¡¯re angry, then continue with the quest with me. I¡¯ll spoil it for you. The Priestess will be in great trouble next, and she might not have the chance to give you an answer¡­¡± Evelyn was so angry that her chest was shaking. ¡°Why should I believe you?¡± ¡°You know the 87th Saint, Fredrick, right?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Before Zin¡¯rokh appeared in the real world, she had been collecting information in secret, especially information about the Church of Judgment, the nemesis of the monsters. The Supreme Leader of the Church, the Archbishop, was comparable to the Pope of the Middle Ages. Fredrick, the 87th Saint, was the current Archbishop. When the United Holy Kingdom held meetings, the Archbishop was at the head of the round table. All the kings had to kiss his ring before they could take their seats. The closer they were to him, the more respected their status was. Char had tried it before, and as a player, the highest position he could get was the first position on the right side of the Archbishop. When he cast (Stealth Detection on Fredrick, even a God would not be able to detect as long as the latter¡¯s senses were not twice as good as his. However, the Archbishop had killed him instantly with (Holy Judgment]! It was only later that Char brought along Tyrfing, which had a special attack against divinity but was ineffective against mortals, to kill this guy. At that time, he realized that this guy had gone beyond the scope of a human. All of this was related to Mia. ¡°He is Mia¡¯s teacher, but at the same time, he¡¯s also the human closest to ¡®God¡¯.¡± ¡°But what does that have to do with the answer I want?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t rush, listen to me slowly. Do you know why Mia is so strong at such a young age? Because the Archbishop sacrificed a large number of heretics for her in exchange for the favor of the Holy Spirit¡­ In other words, the Archbishop opened a back door and took her to a farming spot that no one could interfere with, letting her farm monsters alone.¡± Evelyn barely understood the meaning of farming monsters. She said thoughtfully, ¡°You mean¡­ This place is Andaheim?¡± ¡°Correct. The Night Lord¡¯s believers are all heretics,¡± Char said. ¡°Do you know how cowardly Svartalfheim is? After Zin¡¯rokh appeared, the Night Lord immediately closed the passage between Andaheim and the surface. Only people at the level of the Archbishop can open the teleportation door, send people in, and then catch people out¡­ Only Mia knows where this door is.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know where is it?¡± Evelyn frowned. She swore that if Char said he did not know, she would teach him a lesson! ¡°Of course, I know, but I don¡¯t have the key!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the key?¡± ¡°On her neck.¡± Evelyn recalled the cross-shaped pendant on Mia¡¯s neck. She briefly estimated the success rate of stealing it herself and gave up after a second. What was the point of stealing? The Dark Elf was angry and glared at Char. She was not satisfied with this answer. She was sure that he was hiding from her. He must have known everything about Lucius, but he had to use this method to keep her in suspense. ¡°If you really want me, I can give it to you now, as long as you give me the answer.¡± ¡°And then we¡¯ll go our separate ways? No, no, no, I don¡¯t want them now¡­¡± Char chuckled. She grabbed the Dark Elf¡¯s hand and kissed the back of her hand. Evelyn retracted her hand in disgust and wiped it on her body. ¡°But have you ever thought¡­¡± Evelyn sighed. ¡°I really don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re thinking¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you I¡¯m just craving your body?¡± The two of them agreed to meet somewhere outside the village, and Char returned to the village alone. In order to prevent the Dark Elf from being squashed to death by the boars, Char had also leveled her up by 5 levels, allowing her to regain her power. A character with level 5 Thief, level 5 Cursemancer, and level 5 Drow Swordswoman was very strong. The Dark Elfs rich combat experience allowed her to kill monsters that were at least 20 levels higher, but she had no experience at all. As Char had half elf¡¯s blood in him, he could learn the (Dark Moon Slash] from Evelyn. This was a mirror skill of [Power Slash] in the Drow Swordswoman¡¯s skill list, but with some minor adjustments. The basic skills of the Swordsman Class had different forms of manifestation in each branch. The Human Swordsman¡¯s (Power Slash), the Barbarian Swordsman¡¯s (Burning Blood Slash), the Light Elf¡¯s (Burning Flame Slash), and so on. The (Power Slash) was used as a template. The data was basically the same, but they each had their own characteristics. After learning (Dark Moon Slash), he naturally changed his class to a Drow Swordsman. Char had already planned out his future. This time, due to the players¡¯ existence, the original triple experience buff had disappeared, and the entire game had been dragged on for a long time. However, his thinking had not been slowed down by much, so he decided to try out a new way of playing the game to see if he could break through the limit of seven classes at once. According to the rules of punishment, the experience required for the eighth profession was already nine times that of the previous two professions¡­ Only a madman like him would do this. However, he was a human, so he had to give himself some challenges. After returning to the village, Char found that the number of players in the village was increasing. After the initial panic, the NPCs had also adapted to the group of heroes who had descended from the sky. During this period, there were several incidents. Several players barged into Todd¡¯s house without warning and kicked all the jars he used to store his sausages into pieces. They even complained about how there was no money in them¡­ Char did not see any familiar faces and was worried that someone would recognize him, so he bought a cloak and went to the village chief¡¯s house. The village chief recognized him through his hood. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s you, Char. I still remember you. You have made an outstanding contribution to the peace of the village!¡± He finished reading the line with cadence, feeling an indescribable sense of dissonance. However, the rewards were distributed as usual. (You¡¯ve completed the quest ¡®The Secret of The Rotten Forest¡¯. You¡¯ve received 1200 experiences, 1 silver coin, and your reputation in the novice village has increased!) (You¡¯ve completed the quest ¡®The Death of The Veterans¡¯. You¡¯ve received 1500 experiences, 1 silver, and 50 coppers. You¡¯re at¡­] (You¡¯ve completed the quest ¡®Witch¡¯s Trail¡¯. You¡¯ve received 1750 experiences, 1 silver, and 75 coppers. You¡¯re at¡­] (You¡¯ve completed the mission ¡®Purifying the Rotten Forest¡¯. You¡¯ve received 2400 experience¡­] (You have completed the quest ¡®Underground Cave¡¯¡­] [You have completed the mission ¡®Source of Monsters¡¯¡­] These missions did not have clear instructions, so it was not clear when they would start and end. He had purified the Rotten Forest in one go and obtained the magic bead, which meant that he had completed a series of missions. They should have been completed step by step, but he had messed up the order and wiped them out all at once. All kinds of rewards that were worth not much were given out, and they actually added up to nearly 30 silver! In a situation where most players only had copper coins in their pockets, he was already considered to have a huge amount of money on his back. However, this was not the main part. The main part was the experience he gained! A large amount of experience accumulated in the pool, and he began to level up crazily! His body was covered in a thick golden light, and when the light faded, Char was now level 14. With this level and reputation, the village chief changed his previous calmness and solemnly pulled his hand. ¡°Char, let¡¯s have a talk¡­¡± Chapter 22 - The Line Seemed to Have Changed? Chapter 22. The Line Seemed to Have Changed? This was a normal conversation. The village chief would say a lot to himself, and the content would be nothing more than ¡± you are a hero from our village, and I like you very much, but this village can¡¯t accommodate you anymore, and you want to go out on an adventure ¡± and so on. Char listened to it countless times and opened the panel. [Character: Char] [Race: Half-Elf ] [Identity: Level 14 Drow Swordsman] (HP: 960/960) [Mana: N/A Attributes: (Strength: 26+1] [Agility: 33+1] [Constitution: 19+1] [Intelligence: 5+1] [Perception sense: 5+1] [Charm: 5+1] A Drow Swordsman¡¯s level was one point five multiplied by strength divided by level, two multiplied by agility divided by level, and 1 multiplied by constitution divided by level. Leveling up did not add intelligence or perception sense. If one cultivated multiple professions, only the highest value would be calculated for the increase of the same attribute. The Drow Swordsman was a rather balanced class, and the three attributes were not far from each other. If it was a Shielded Swordsman, then it would be two multiplied by strength divided by level and two point five multiplied by constitution divided by level. The experience penalty only appeared for the third class. This could also be seen as the official promotion of dual professions. Therefore, the Magic Swordsman, which was an Elementalist combined with Swordsman, was a good choice. All of its attributes would increase with the increase of its level. Unfortunately, the constitutions of the two overlapped, and neither was high. In comparison, the combination of Battle Mage and Shielded Swordsman was more outstanding The former was corrected to be one multiplied by agility divided by level, two multiplied by intelligence divided by level, and one point five multiplied by perception divided by level. It perfectly matched the growth of Shielded Swordsman with two attributes, and the value-performance ratio of the attribute to experience was the highest. However, combat power was not just about stacking attributes. One also had to consider the combination of skills, personal habits, and so on. There were thousands of combinations. There were many ways to play fantasy world, and not everyone had Char¡¯s strange experience to fully understand it. As players, they still had a long way to go. Char was starting from the finish line. After calculating how to invest in his future profession, the village chief finally finished his grand theory and took a deep breath. The next sentence was¡­ ¡°Brave warrior, may the Seven Holy Spirits bless your journey.¡± Char raised her head and was ready to leave after she finished speaking. However, the village chief did not say that. ¡°Char, good luck.¡± It was as if it was a coincidence that he had suddenly thrown out this sentence. ¡°You have something to say to me, right?¡± Char grabbed him. The village chief¡¯s eyes were calm, like the water in an ancient well. Char did not give up. ¡°You remember everything, right? ¡°You¡¯re the same as me. Your memories won¡¯t be reset. ¡°We are the same kind. Am I right?¡± The village chief did not answer. He smiled and left to deal with the endless stream of players outside. Char sighed. As expected, it was just a signal. He had to dig out the truth bit by bit. However, this was also good. Things were getting more and more interesting. Char left the village hall. This time, he did not even make a sound when he landed. His 33 points of agility made him as nimble as a cat. He was not in a hurry to go to Ksenja¡¯s house, so he went to the tavern first. It was early in the morning, and the tavern was not open yet. Char made use of her high agility and sneaked up to the second floor, hiding outside the window. Char glanced at him. Only one night had passed, and Enke Wester was already dying. Another five minutes passed. It seemed that Sonya had enough. She cursed as she pushed open another door and left, locking it with a clang. The Northern Red Grasslands were filled with tents made of animal skin, and the Barbarian¡¯s house was not locked. Locks were used to locking up animals. Not long after she left, Enke climbed to the window and cried for help in a trembling voice, ¡°Is there anyone¡­ Is there anyone¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m Enke Wester, the Priest of the village. Please, can anyone save me¡­ Please save me¡­ I¡¯m going to die¡­ I can¡¯t hold on much longer¡­¡± He shouted a few times weakly, worried that Sonya would return, so he obediently crawled back. ¡°Enke?¡± Char pinched her throat and shouted. ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± Enke rolled and crawled over. ¡°Who¡¯s there? It¡¯s me, Enke Wester. Can you save me? I beg you¡­¡± ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all that bitch Ksenja¡¯s fault! It¡¯s all her fault!¡± Enke¡¯s voice was as venomous as a snake. ¡°And that pretty boy called Char. This adulterous couple. It¡¯s all their fault!¡± ¡°Oh, so you were set up¡­ I was wondering why Priest Enke would be together with this violent female ape¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore. Save me. I¡¯ll definitely pray to God and ask him to bless and protect you! I¡¯m begging you!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Hehe¡­ Isn¡¯t the reward a little too cheap? I¡¯m just passing by, but saving you would risk angering Sonya¡­ And as a Priest, shouldn¡¯t you pray to the Gods when you¡¯re in despair? Why me?¡± ¡°The Gods asked you to save me! I heard his voice! Therefore, it was the same! What do you want? I¡¯ll give it all to you!¡± ¡°Ha, Priest Enke, what else do you have now?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Enke was at a loss for words. He searched his body for a while and suddenly said with joy, ¡°I¡­ I¡­ I¡­ Here you go, the key to our house! That stupid woman would never think of changing the lock! She can¡¯t hold her liquor well, and she sleeps like a log at night. You just have to think of a way to get her drunk and you can sneak in at night¡­ You¡¯ve seen Ksenja, right? Think about her figure, think about her milk-like skin!¡± Char whistled. ¡°Wow, this is indeed hard to resist¡­¡± ¡°Then quickly let me out! Hurry up, it¡¯ll be too late!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll save you now.¡± Char kicked the window open, and the debris rolled out along with Enke, who could not dodge in time. [Malicious destruction of infrastructure has been detected. 5 silver coins were deducted.] The weak buildings of the novice village were no match in front of Char¡¯s 26 points of strength, although this action brought punishment. ¡°Cough! Cough! Cough!¡± Priest Enke had been tormented the whole night, and his eyes were full of stars. He was also kicked away, so he could not see Char¡¯s face clearly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that.¡± Char laughed and returned to his original voice. Without waiting for the priest to react, he grabbed his neck and twisted it as if he was opening a bottle. The scumbag was dead. ¡°Who would have thought that you would say something like that¡­¡± Char sighed. ¡°Every time I suspect that I¡¯ve been in the game for too long and lost my humanity, I¡¯ll think of you. Since you can make me feel nauseated every time, that means I¡¯m still a normal person. ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m too normal and too kind. I actually give you a chance every time. You too. You never disappoint me. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t intervened, she would have forgiven your disloyalty. She didn¡¯t change the lock because she was worried that you wouldn¡¯t be able to find your way home. ¡°I always thought that the officials did not allow me to meet the young Ksenja. However, only after reincarnating 177 times would I realize that this was just to highlight her kindness with your filth. ¡°So, thank you for letting me know how good she is.¡± He placed Enke¡¯s body on a stool and left 10 silver coins with him. A few seconds after Char disappeared, Sonya arrived in a huff. She was furious when she first saw Enke¡¯s body, but her anger dissipated when she found the 10 silver coins. The Barbarian grabbed Enke¡¯s body and threw it in the corner like a pile of trash. When Char arrived at Ksenja¡¯s house, the swordswoman was sitting in the courtyard in a daze. She was sitting on the same wooden block that Char had been sitting on the day before, with the light of dawn by her feet. The door was slightly ajar, and any movement made by Little Tifa could be heard from outside. Char took off her cloak and walked over with light steps. ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Ksenja¡¯s body trembled and she turned around in disbelief. When she saw the person in front of her, she threw herself into Char¡¯s arms like a swallow returning to its nest. She was so excited that she cried, and her tears quickly wet his front. ¡°Good girl, I¡¯m back.¡± Char mumbled softly and hugged her tightly. Chapter 23 - Can You Hang Me Up Like This? Chapter 23. Can You Hang Me Up Like This? Evelyn waited at the agreed place for a whole day and night, but Char still did not come. If it was not for the restraint on her body, she would have collapsed! What did he do when he went back? Although she could figure out the answer with her feet, the thought of hiding in this dark and damp Spider Cave in a daze made her furious. The sensitive physique triggered by the Soul Sucking Monster had yet to fade, and this debuff would last for about a month. Just thinking about it made her unable to sleep well all night. ¡°Truly damnable!¡± A fist smashed into the wall. The level 5 Female Spider Boss in the depths of the cave trembled and shrank from a basketball to a football. Suddenly, the Dark Elf¡¯s pointy ears twitched. As a level 14 Cursemancer, her perception was as high as 40 points, and she could easily hear the sound of footsteps approaching from outside. ¡°That guy? No¡­ Doesn¡¯t look like it. He¡¯s a lousy thief¡­¡± Once she confirmed that the target was not Char, Evelyn¡¯s eyes turned cold. She was not a gentle elf, never was. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. At first, she wanted to slit the other party¡¯s throat, but when she saw the figure clearly, she could not help but be stunned¡­ What? A thief who was only slightly stronger than Char (level 5) dared to come to this place. Such an idiot was actually a member of the Dark Brotherhood¡­ Evelyn simply followed behind her in stealth. She was too bored and wanted to see what the other party was up to. Apple Pie was here to find something. Not long ago, she had been tied up by a Soul Sucking Monster and her HP had been drained. She had been forced to go offline while returning to the cemetery. Most players were forced to go offline because of emotional fluctuations, such as fear, sadness, anger¡­ She was different. She had wet the gaming chamber and triggered the short circuit alarm, so she had to go offline. After logging back in, the female thief recalled the feeling of ascending to heaven. It was a feeling she could not forget for a long time. She had privately messaged Char many times to ask about the Soul Sucking Monsters, but he did not have the time to respond to her. She had no choice but to do it herself. It just so happened that someone on the forum was crying and complaining that a Female Spider Boss in the cave liked to tie players up, and Apple Pie was instantly excited! She could try something she could not try in real life! At most, she would be sent back to the cemetery! They were players anyway! Then, she went into the cave. The others were here to kill the boss for loots, but she was here to get beaten up. Just thinking about it made her excited! Apple Pie felt that it was a genius to have thought of such a method. The cave was very dark, which added an invisible sense of excitement. The female thief tried her best to restrain her footsteps and not make a sound. She had heard that if she was discovered by the Female Spider in advance, it would summon a group of spiders to drown her. Although that was quite exciting, it was not worthwhile! It was a girl¡¯s nature to be afraid of bugs. Although she did not have this weakness, it was not a good thing to have bugs crawling all over her body. As she slowly approached the depths of the cave, Apple Pie smelled a faint sweetness. It was poison! She looked at her status bar. As expected, her attack speed had been reduced by 10%. She was not here to fight the boss! As she got closer and closer to her target, she saw a few spiderlings with green eyes crawling on the wall of the cave. ¡°It¡¯s probably here.¡± Apple Pie gritted her teeth, took out a stun grenade that he had bought from the Dark Brotherhood, and threw it forward! It was said that Female Spiders were very timid and would hide and only attack with their webs after making a loud noise. This should work! The stun grenade drew a strange arc in the air and hit a stalactite at the top of the cave. It bounced back and landed in front of the female thief. ¡°Ah?¡± All she heard was a rumbling sound and did not see her feet clearly. Then, she heard a sound, and a huge force pushed her back. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m so stupid!¡± What puzzled her was that she did not hit the rock wall, and her HP did not drop. Instead, she fell into a soft and warm embrace. The other party clicked her tongue in disdain and stepped back while gently dissipating the force. After landing steadily, Apple Pie turned around and saw Evelyn. ¡°Eh? A player?¡± Char had confiscated the overly revealing armor that the Dark Elf was wearing. She would only make the mountain bandits, who were only planning to rob her, think that they could expand their business. This would only cause trouble for them, so she changed them into the Dark Brotherhood¡¯s leather armor uniform. Although it was quite revealing as well. It was also because of this that she was recognized as a player by Apple Pie. ¡°Sister, how did you change your class to Dark Elf? Is it a hidden race?¡± Evelyn did not understand what she was talking about. She grabbed Apple Pie and gently retreated, avoiding the Female Spider¡¯s acid. She stomped on the ground and rushed forward like a ghost. The Female Spider turned around and ran when it saw that the situation was not favorable to her. The narrow tunnel was filled with its spider web, and the terrain was complex and ever-changing ¡°Amazing!¡± Apple Pie was dazzled by Evelyn¡¯s elegant figure. In the female thief¡¯s world view, she was something exciting, so she followed Evelyn without thinking ¡°Hey, wait for me!¡± A lady and a spider were running in front, while Apple Pie was chasing behind. By the time she caught up, panting, she only saw light rising from the innermost part of the cave. In the depths was an abandoned stone bookcase, and the words on the wall were blurred. The fluorescent stones embedded in the wall were lit up, and the magical arcs of light weaved into butterflies and moths that circled the dome. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful¡­¡± Apple Pie muttered. However, what shocked her even more was¡­ The Female Spider had been hung up by this beautiful Dark Elf! Evelyn used spider webs to hang the Female Spider! Its eight legs were tied up, and its bulging belly was facing the sky, hanging in a complicated pattern¡­ Apple Pie¡¯s eyes widened! ¡°Sister¡­¡± She approached Evelyn and called out sweetly like an obedient baby. Evelyn admired her masterpiece and ignored her. Her skills were actually very rusty¡­ At this moment, she heard a request that she had never heard before. ¡°Sister¡­ Can you hang me up like this?¡± Chapter 24 - I Salute You! In the morning, Char left the novice village. He arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Evelyn, but he saw a shocking scene when he entered. ¡°F*ck¡­ What are you guys doing?¡± The scene was so shocking¡­ It was unbelievable! As a monster-level player who had completed 177 rounds, the existence that had overturned this game ¡­ Char had never seen such a scene before! Evelyn was wearing high heels and holding a small leather whip in her hand. Her posture was elegant, full of the queen¡¯s style. In front of her was Apple Pie that was hanging in the air! What were they doing? What were they trying to tell me with that? At that moment, Char recalled the story of the Queen of Pain and her tormented soul, as well as his past self. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t see anything¡­¡± He supported himself against the wall and went out. He wanted the cool morning breeze to calm him down. Besides, she was also in a good mood. If he interrupted her at this time, he would definitely have a bad impression of her. This kind of thing was not nonsense, it had really happened! He was too familiar with her and knew that she would really do something like that. Char waited outside for half an hour before the two of them came out. Not one in front and one behind, but hand in hand. Char felt that something was wrong, so she opened her friend¡¯s private chat to take a look. He had turned off all these notifications before. As expected, it was filled with unread messages from Apple Pie. ¡°Oh my God, I saw Evelyn. She¡¯s the one you mentioned¡­ But the situation is a little complicated. I didn¡¯t recognize her at first, but she actually helped me¡­ Ah, this is so embarrassing!¡± ¡°She agreed! She actually agreed! Ah, I¡¯m dead!¡± ¡°Oh my God, Evelyn¡¯s favorability toward me is rising so fast. Why? I didn¡¯t¡­ I didn¡¯t do anything to please her¡­¡± ¡°Thigh! Thigh! This is amazing! The system said that Evelyn¡¯s kindness toward me has reached the level of a close friend!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to die. I¡¯m going to die. She¡¯s so pretty, so aggressive. She¡¯s so great. I¡¯m in love with her!¡± ¡°Thigh, can the favorability level of this game breakthrough after becoming best friends?¡± Looking at the time, the two had met more than an hour ago, and the latest message was just now. In other words, Apple Pie had already maxed out Evelyn¡¯s favorability before him¡­ Although players could not get any closer to NPCs in this game for all ages¡­ However, this probably did not restrict female players and female NPCs¡­ F*ck, did that mean that the two of them can already find a place to have s*x? Char¡¯s mood was very subtle when he thought of that scene. It was rather subtle. ¡°Char, look!¡± As if showing off her spoils of war, Evelyn pulled Apple Pie to him. ¡°I just made a friend!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯m happy for you.¡± ¡°Really? But why you don¡¯t look happy?¡± ¡°This is a smile from the bottom of my heart.¡± Char let go of the hand that was tugging at the corner of her mouth and then beckoned to Apple Pie with her finger. ¡°You, come here for a moment.¡± ¡°Yes, thigh!¡± The two of them moved away from the confused Evelyn. ¡°Use the private chat.¡± ¡°Oh, oh!¡± The female thief reacted quickly. (Big brother, what are you doing here? You actually know her! He¡¯s really too strong!) (Uhm¡­] Char found it hard to organize her words. [Do you have enough reputation in the novice village? Can we leave the village now?] (Hey, you¡¯re still far from that!] [It¡¯s alright then. There won¡¯t be any trouble for the time being.) (Eh? Is it related to Evelyn? Ah, I remember now. You said that the place where I changed my profession is an illegal organization. Then what is she? The female leader of an illegal organization? He¡¯s that strong!) (Have you read The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?] (Yeah!) [Of course, I don¡¯t mean to advise you, I just suggest that you learn a few more skills to survive and don¡¯t do any missions related to the Church of Judgment, or you¡¯ll be giving yourself away.) Apple Pie was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t I have changed from a passerby to the main character?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you read that kind of novel? a passerby who transmigrated to Jin Yong¡¯s Wuxia World and tried his best to connect with the main plot. He¡¯s just trying to gain popularity and opportunities! Does this count as me rubbing in?¡± ¡°I think so¡­¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s no trouble at all!¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Apple Pie patted her chest. ¡°No worries. At most, I¡¯ll just die! We¡¯re players, we¡¯re not afraid of death!¡± Char pondered for a moment, and she was right. He often dealt with NPCs, and the latter placed great importance on the gains and losses. However, the players were different. They focused on experiencing the process. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± He hid the part about Lucius and told her about Evelyn so that she could have an idea. ¡°Oh my God, I admire her even more now! She¡¯s an outstanding role model for unyielding women!¡± The female thief¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°But why didn¡¯t she kill me? And why did her favorability level keep increasing?¡± ¡°This is where you¡¯re amazing¡­ I don¡¯t even need to put my hands on a wall to admire you.¡± ¡°Eh? Are you complimenting me?¡± CO ¡°What do you think? You¡¯re the relic that¡¯s especially used to attack Evelyn¡­¡± Char rolled her eyes and beckoned for Evelyn to set off. ¡°We¡¯ll be leaving first. If there¡¯s a chance, we¡¯ll meet in Astan City.¡± Before the Dark Elf left, she gave Apple Pie a dagger and planted a kiss on her forehead, as if they were lovers who had just parted. Apple Pie almost fainted from the kiss. The female thief only woke up from her daze after the two of them had gone far away. ¡°Hey¡­ The big brother said he was going to some city ¡­¡± ¡°No way, he left the novice village just like that?¡± Apple Pie was shocked beyond words and only managed to calm down after a long time. ¡°Good luck! In order to be hung up by Big Sister Evelyn, I have to leave the novice village as soon as possible!¡± Char did not know what happened. Of course, he could not do anything even if he knew. Along the way, Evelyn was like an internet-addicted girl who was suffering from withdrawal symptoms, her eyes glazed over from time to time. Char could not be bothered by her because there was a plot waiting for them ahead. Soon, the two of them walked out of the border of the novice village, and the scenery along the way became desolate. It was a novice village. In order to attract people, they did everything they could to make it look good. The mountains, rivers, birds, and flowers were beautiful. Any random part of the picture was a magical CG. The town was the main city. The grand worldview slowly unfolded, and the surrounding monster camps and all kinds of dangerous places were growing. The urban-rural junction between the two was like this, the scenery gradually changed. Actually, it was not Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s fault. The power of the abyss was just like that. In essence, it was the amplification of negative emotions. There was a saying in China that one¡¯s appearance was born from the heart. If a person¡¯s heart was ugly, their appearance would not be much better. Demons were mentally abnormal, so their appearance would be more distorted. As they passed by a charred field, Evelyn, who had 40 points of Perception sense, wrinkled her nose. ¡°There¡¯s blood and corpses up ahead.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also a half-eaten horse and six people,¡± Char said. ¡°You can even sense that!?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ask. If you ask, you¡¯ll be a Chosen One.¡± ¡°Tsk¡­¡± The Dark Elf ignored him and quickened her pace. A few minutes later, just as Char had said, there was a collapsed carriage on the road, and the six of them were standing around the goods in a daze. Above his head was a demonized Gryphon that was constantly circling and screeching. Chapter 25 - Oh, My God! ¡°Are you going to help them?¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll change my weapon while I¡¯m there.¡± Char took out a (Hero¡¯s Sword] that he had given himself when he left the village, the kind that could be found on the street. ¡°You don¡¯t need to interfere.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t use the [No-fly Curse] to shoot it down, how are you going to do it?¡± asked Evelyn curiously. ¡°Do you see those two fat guys wearing hats?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°One of them is Felix Bardi Dawn, and the other is Mendelssohn Rime. They are both human merchants with one-sixteenth of the bloodline of the Light Elves. Although his blood was so diluted that even his great-great-grandmother didn¡¯t recognize him, his bad temper was passed down through his family name. I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t help but light up the sky lanterns on them.¡± Evelyn chuckled and went into hiding. The Light Elves were the most unreasonable royal family among the elves who claimed to be noble. They were all racist, but in order to survive, they had no choice but to join the United Holy Kingdom and marry humans. As a feminist society, they only accepted human marriages, so a bunch of mixed-blood humans with elven surnames were born. The first and second generations still retained the appearance of elves, but in the third, fourth, and fifth generations, they were no different from humans, but their tempers were really bad. This was mainly reflected in their unrestrained licking of the pure-blooded elves and their unscrupulous loathing of the Dark Elves. Fortunately, Char was a Half-Elf, so he was more accepting than humans. ¡°You guys seem to be in some trouble,¡± Char got closer and said coldly. He wanted to set up the image of an aloof swordsman. A mixed-blood elf with one-sixteenth of his bloodline was really cheap. If you were strong, he would admire you. If you were gentle, he would look down on you. If you were friendly, he would change his ways to disgust you. However, Char had half of the elven blood in her, and they regarded her as a symbol of nobility. ¡°Oh, I can feel the noble blood flowing in your body¡­ You¡¯re also a believer of the Holy Spirit? I¡¯m Felix Bardi Dawn, the person in charge of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.¡± The fat blond merchant was full of smiles, and his voice was like a thick sugar liquid that was fried, so sweet that it was greasy. ¡°Char,¡± Char said indifferently, acting as if he was a thousand miles away from them. Felix¡¯s opinion of him grew even higher. ¡°Your Excellency Char, I¡¯m Mendelssohn from the Misty Weapons Factory. Nice to meet you.¡± The other silver-haired fat man stretched out his two hands. His right hand was ready to shake Char¡¯s hand, while his left hand was holding a sword. It was the standard weapon of the Misty Weapon Factory. [Misty Sword (one-handed sword)] Forging weapons. No. 001567a. Attack power=2.0*AD. Strength +1. Agility +1. The meaning was obvious. As smart as he was, how could he not see that Char was only holding the most ordinary sword? When comparing the two, Felix felt ashamed. They were both merchants, but he was so slow in befriending Half-Elves with purer bloodlines! ¡°Nice to meet you, Mendelssohn.¡± Char took the sword and shook his hand. He casually drew his sword, and in an instant, the sword glowed with a cold light that was as bright as the stars. The two merchants and his guards could not help but praise his beautiful move. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s not a magic weapon. Otherwise, I would have shot that beast down.¡± Char looked up. ¡°Forget it, this place is not far from Astan City. I¡¯ll send you back on the way.¡± ¡°You just said that¡­ If it was a magic weapon, you could shoot that guy down?¡± Felix was eager to move, and his eyes glanced at the black monster hovering above his head. He had already converted its fur, claws, sharp beak, and so on into gold coins. ¡°Believe it or not. It¡¯s none of my business.¡± Char snorted coldly. ¡°I do believe you. Of course, I do!¡± Felix smiled obsequiously, and the ruby ring on his fat finger flashed slightly. It flowed down like liquid, expanded in the air, and took the shape of a long red sword. The fire on the sword rose. The fat merchant wiped his sweat and handed it to Char with both hands. ¡°If you can use this sword to kill that b*stard, that would be the best!¡± (Gemstone Fireworks (magic sword)] Ancient magic weapon. Requires strength 20, agility 30, intelligence 20 (choose two out of three) Attack power=1.25*AD+1.25*AP. Strength +5. Intelligence +5 [Fluid Gem: Can change its appearance. Current memory: ring, one-handed sword.) ¡°Sparks! As my inspiration bloomed!¡± This was a magic sword of average quality. This was because the 50% increase in attack power was even a bit of a scam. However, just as the Ash Dwarves of the Molten Plains had said, ¡°A weapon¡¯s foolishness is often due to its master.¡± This sword was also perfectly compatible with the magic and human dual profession, and it had other unknown uses. As stingy as Felix was, he naturally would not give the sword to Char for free. He had already set up the rental contract, and the time limit was set to half an hour. In other words, if Char could not deal with the Gryphon in half an hour, the sword would return to Felix¡¯s hand. In terms of value, this was equivalent to the final reward of a series of missions, which would cost the player a lot of money. Felix¡¯s life motto was ¡®Not giving away any profit to others.¡¯ He was literally using his life to carry out this point. Char took the sword and thought about it as if he was examining the sword. ¡°Can it help?¡± Felix asked with a smile. Char did not reply and immediately activated (Fluid Gem). The blade immediately melted into a pool of magma-colored liquid, wriggling in his palm. Then, the liquid condensed into a heart¡­ ¡°This is¡­¡± Mendelssohn¡¯s eyes widened. Even as the person in charge of a weapon factory, he had never seen such a strange weapon! ¡°The heart of a witch, which is also the favorite food of Gryphons¡± Felix explained. He did not understand what Char was trying to do. Char came to the half-eaten horse and stuffed the heart into its chest, then sealed its mouth. ¡°Let¡¯s hide,¡± he said, and then left without looking back. The two merchants looked at each other and were stunned for a few seconds before they immediately followed. A few of them hid behind a nearby rock and covered their bodies with shrubs. The people around the carriage were all gone. After about ten minutes, the circling Gryphon finally landed, picked up the remaining horse, and flew away. ¡°My family heirloom! My horse!¡± Felix was in pain and was about to settle the score with Char when Mendelssohn suddenly pulled him back. ¡°Your horse is dead! Calm down! Your family heirloom will also be back soon!¡± Felix suddenly sobered up and snorted. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault, why did you have to take the narrow path.¡± ¡°You still have the nerve to blame me? If you weren¡¯t so greedy and insisted on hiring these few broken women, we wouldn¡¯t be in such a sorry state!¡± Tsk, he was cursing. Char sighed in his heart. These two people were really of the highest quality. Although the subsequent plot showed that both of them were shrewd businessmen, their shortcomings were also infinitely magnified. One was greedy for money, while the other was supercilious. The guards¡¯ cotton uniforms were exquisitely made. There was a Gray Maple Leaf on the chest and the five corners were dyed red, indicating that they were mercenaries from Blosoro Market. Fortunately, he still cursed at the guards at this time, but it did not lead to betrayal. Blosoro¡¯s professional mercenaries were at least six in a team, and they were extremely loyal. As long as they were paid enough, they would not leave their employer behind. There were four people left, and it was obvious that two of them had died in battle. Even if two of their teammates died in battle, and in exchange for their employer¡¯s disgust and curses, they would not show any anger, or even say a word. This was professionalism. ¡°Where did we not do well?¡± Suddenly, a voice was heard. Char was stunned as if he had seen a ghost. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 026 Chapter 26. Are You A Player? ¡°Where did we not do well?¡± Her voice was teary. It was a petite girl, one of the mercenaries. She was too petite. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her young body was tightly wrapped in the brown and black mercenary uniform, and she wore a felt hat on her head. Her long green hair was wrapped inside, with a few strands of black hair hanging down along with the band of the felt hat. Char could not help but let out a soft gasp. The mercenaries that appeared in this storyline all had the same four faces, so he did not pay much attention to them this time. However, this young lady had a sweet voice¡­ He had never seen it before. A new NPC randomly generated after the open beta? She had a temperament of a young girl, which had a different kind of freshness. Char¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°Pay attention to your attitude toward your employer!¡± Mendelssohn stood up, his fat body like a mountain of meat, lying in front of the girl. ¡°We paid three times the average hiring fee to hire you, not to see you cry! It¡¯s just a dead person. As a mercenary, you don¡¯t even have this awareness. Why don¡¯t you go back and drink a few more years of milk? You really are a lowly commoner!¡± mo e The young girl was stunned at first, and then her mouth was wide open. ¡°Waaa! I quit! I¡¯ll pay the penalty! I won¡¯t be a mercenary anymore!¡± She pulled on her body and her uniform actually fell off, revealing her tight-fitting newbie clothes¡­ F*ck ¡­ She really was a player? Char was so shocked that he could not close his mouth. A player could actually¡­ If she was born around Nanhai County¡­ One time, he was randomly born in Nanhai County, and it just so happened that the Blosoro Mercenary Association was recruiting people there. However, Char was too busy at that time. When he had gone to Blosoro, he had learned that the recruitment had gone on for an entire month. It turned out that it was a profession that was open to the novice village. Char finally understood. The profession of a mercenary was quite special. It was not an automatic new profession after learning a skill, but one had to be recognized by the association before one could be granted an identity. It emphasized the spirit of the contract, it did not care whether you were strong or weak. After all, the commission was full of non-combat content. This was also the advantage of being a mercenary. Even if you did not want to kill monsters to level up, you could still do quests to gain experience. He could reach level 90 just by running errands and delivering letters. In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, there was no such thing. It did not exist. Not to mention whether the NPC would trust you or not, whether you should trust him or not was a problem. What if he did not give you a reward after you ran the errand? Could you still call the police? That was why the Blosoro Mercenary Association came into being, solving the problem of trust. The association would only open recruitment a few times a year, and it was not like Char had never changed his profession. The experience was terrible. How should he put it? it was good at everything, but it was not free. The profession of a mercenary was more like a switch of game mode, allowing the players to experience the most traditional RPG. He did missions to earn money, experience, and points to exchange for equipment. He also had endless daily and weekly missions to clear. It was similar to the endless quests in some games. To a wild horse like Char, it was too restrictive. Most importantly, the mercenary code clearly stated that intimate contact with the employer is strictly prohibited. However, there was no lack of mature young women or plump noble ladies among the employers¡­ That was why Char would always lose his mercenary status due to anonymous complaints, and the association would accuse him of being indecent. He did not know how this female player had become a mercenary in two days and had been given such a mission ¡­ Char¡¯s curiosity was stirred. ¡°Now that I¡¯m not a mercenary, I can scold you!¡± The girl threw the badge on the ground and pointed at Mendelssohn¡¯s chubby face. Her fingers were trembling because of her anger. ¡°Uncle George is dead, and so is Miss Anna. They both died to save you! If we had taken the main road, we would have been fine, but the two of you insisted on taking a shortcut. You even said that you¡¯ve taken the road many times and that you¡¯ll bear the responsibility if anything goes wrong¡­ You¡¯re all lying! You b*stards! You¡¯re not men, you have no sense of responsibility!¡± The young girl did not seem to know how to scold people, and she only said a few soft words. At the mention of a sad point, she cried so hard that she was covered in tears. She was so sensitive that she could not even speak. ¡°Waaa¡­ You all are bad guys! Waaa¡­¡± This was really¡­ She was really too cute. ¡°Have you said enough?¡± Felix¡¯s face darkened. The girl was still sobbing. ¡°You broke the contract one-sidedly. According to the association¡¯s rules¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s time.¡± Char suddenly spoke, interrupting Felix. ¡°I¡¯ll settle the score with you later.¡± He glared at the female mercenary, and when he turned to Char, his expression changed to an apologetic smile. It was even more natural than changing his face. ¡°My lord, what did you say?¡± ¡°Follow me,¡± Char ordered. Char said indifferently and pushed the bushes away. They quickly followed behind her. The young girl, who had already shed her identity as a mercenary, was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly caught up. ¡°Wait for me! Don¡¯t leave me alone!¡± A few minutes later, they arrived at the foot of a mountain. There was a pitch-black cave above, from which a pungent smell wafted out. This was Gryphon¡¯s nest. Normally, they would find it by following the smell of blood after injuring the Gryphon. Char brought her people over just like that. Just as everyone was confused, Felix¡¯s rental contract ended. According to the rules, the Gemstone Fireworks had to fly back to his hand. Just then, the Gemstone Fireworks flew over! A miserable scream came from the cave, and then a bloody mist exploded at the entrance. A bright red light emerged from the black blood, dragging out a long shadow, and returned to Felix¡¯s hand like a swallow returning to its nest. The Gryphon crawled to the entrance of the cave with great difficulty, cried out in grief, and then its corpse fell from the sky. There was a large hole in its chest, and blood was flowing out. (You have killed the Lord of Gryphon, Krulu. You have received 2500 experience. ) Easy. Every time Char saw it die so miserably, he felt like he had successfully stolen a chicken. Who did not like instant kills? If they were to really fight it, it would be a mess. This thing was the most intelligent monster below level 40. Wild monsters were born with low intelligence and could not be compared to humanoid monsters. Only Krulu, who was at level 20, was as strong as level 35. Those monsters were probably geniuses. The death of a genius was a treasure. A large, pitch-black Gryphon¡¯s corpse fell to the ground. Its claws glowed with a metallic luster, and one could tell at a glance that it was valuable. Felix and Mendelssohn could not move anymore. The two of them moved toward the corpse at the speed of a tortoise. However, Char stood in front of the spoils of war. His thin body was like a high wall, and the two of them did not dare to cross him. At this moment, a gentle voice was heard. ¡°Hello¡­ Can you sell me the head of a Gryphon as a token of trust?¡± The young girl asked cautiously. She probably thought Char was an NPC. ¡°You want to apply for a pension for them?¡± Char asked. If there was a token to prove that there was a monster outside the assessment level during the journey, the pension of the dead mercenaries could be doubled, and the mission failure would not be judged to lower the evaluation of the team. ¡°Yes¡­ Yes ¡­¡± ¡°But you¡¯re no longer a mercenary. Even if the mission is completed, you won¡¯t get any reward. As a deserter, you can¡¯t even enter the main entrance of the mercenary hall.¡± The girl was stunned. A few seconds later, she suddenly covered her mouth and screamed, ¡°. ¡°You¡¯re a player! You¡¯re not an NPC?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say I was an NPC.¡± Chapter 27 - Do I Look Like Such a Perverted Person Chapter 27. Do I Look Like Such a Perverted Person A few minutes later, the convoy set off again. Felix¡¯s horse was dead, but there were only two people in the carriage, so there was not much stock. It was fine to abandon the carriage and walk, not to mention that Char was with him. They had been summoned by Burwell to Astan City to deal with a batch of important goods. It was the spoils of war from Evelyn. Burwell took all of the money from Mia and successfully obtained the batch of ancient magical equipment. The Priestess believed him so easily. In the world of ¡°Fantasy World¡±, civilization was constantly refreshed and restarted by Zin¡¯rokh. Therefore, modern people might not have as much experience as ancient people. Therefore, when the weapon was old and was labeled as a weapon from the middle ages or ancient times, it would definitely be expensive, not to mention whether it was strong or not. More than half of Evelyn¡¯s spoils of war were these antiques, so they could be sold for at least half a year¡¯s tax from Astan City. Burwell was going to make big news this time. He wanted to bid. Felix and Mendelssohn represented the merchants of the Light Elves. Felix was in charge of negotiating the trade, and Mendelssohn was in charge of evaluating the prices. The two were a team that had to compete with people from other large Chambers of Commerce. Rylai¡¯s team of four followed him closely. Even though she was no longer a mercenary, she was still very interested in Char, and followed him closely, asking him all sorts of questions. The key to leaving the novice village was to gain enough reputation. Rylai was born near Southshore, so she should have participated in a counterattack against the invasion of the seafood people to gain enough reputation¡­ However, she did not. Rylai was only doing the beginner¡¯s guide quest and left the village. She was only trying to save the injured. Just making potions, cleaning wounds, and bandaging could be done by going to the front line and the logistics department to save ten people. In Char¡¯s opinion, it would take at most five minutes. However, she had been saving them for two days and one night. She had bandaged all the wounded soldiers on the beach with her own hands, and she was affectionately known as the ¡°Battlefield Angel¡± by the soldiers. It was like another version of ¡®Fantasy World¡¯. He had maxed out his reputation in one go, then became a mercenary and successfully received a quest to leave the village. Char let out a deep sigh. The players were indeed a powerful species. He kept Krulu¡¯s body, which would be of great use when he returned to the city. Along the way, they encountered a few waves of monsters, which were all easily dealt with by Char. However, it felt a little strange. After all, his last serious battle was at the end of his 177th round with Zin¡¯rokh. Now that it had suddenly become such a low-level battle, he was still a little unused to However, his discomfort was shocking to the NPCs. Felix and Mendelssohn had seen the world, and they could identify the level of the data. As such, Char was treated as a level 30 being by them, and they licked him like a model text, without repeating any words. In comparison, Rylai¡¯s words sounded better. ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°666!¡± ¡°Char is invincible!¡± It was very simple and pure. When the sun was about to set, they arrived at Astan City. ¡°Char, I really don¡¯t want to part with you here, but I have a heavy responsibility, and I have to do this.¡± If these words had come from a cute girl, Char would have said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, we can meet again in the future.¡± However, it was Felix who said this. ¡°Get lost.¡± The more boorish he was, the more comfortable Felix felt as if Char¡¯s boorishness toward him was a form of respect. ¡°Immediately. If I may ask, what do you plan to do with your spoils of war?¡± ¡°Sell it.¡± ¡°Oh, in that case, you can come to the trading hall of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce at any time. As long as you mention my name, I¡¯ll definitely give you the most honorable treatment!¡± ¡°I know. Get lost.¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll get lost now!¡± As soon as he turned around, Felix began to order the mercenaries around. ¡°You three stupid pigs, hurry up and get out of my and Char¡¯s sight!¡± Blosoro¡¯s mercenaries did not even give him a hard time after completing his mission. The big-bearded old man took two steps forward and pushed Felix away. The fat merchant didn¡¯t dare to say anything. The bearded man went straight to Char and hammered his chest three times. ¡°Thank you, traveler.¡± ¡°May the dead rest in peace.¡± Char returned the gesture. There was a saying among the NPCs in ¡°Fantasy World¡±, The promise of an elf was as precious as the wealth of a Dragon, but it paled in comparison to Blosoro¡¯s mercenaries. He had once used a large sum of money to hire Blosoro¡¯s mercenaries to attack the Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s lair. They had fought to the last man without any deserter. At the end of his 11th round, the mercenaries were able to last even longer than the United Holy Kingdom¡¯s army. They were truly worthy of respect. After the NPCs had left, Rylai looked at Char pitifully. Char ignored her and walked into a clothing store to buy a cloak before walking to a hidden corner. When Char came out the next second, there was someone beside her. ¡°Eh? A living human?¡± Rylai said in shock. ¡°A drink?¡± Char asked her. Rylai took a step back warily. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Char sized her up and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Rylai was stunned for a few seconds. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t mean it that way!¡± ¡°Then what do you want to do?¡± Char asked. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t want to either!¡± Rylai started to giggle. ¡°It¡¯s so fun¡­¡± She muttered softly. It was as if this child had never said any dirty jokes. Char said, ¡°Time is precious. Do you want to talk? Otherwise, I¡¯m leaving. The world is so big. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡± ¡°I¡­ I have something to say, but¡­¡± Rylai stammered for a long time before finally saying, ¡°Can¡­ can I thank you offline? Mom said I should thank you for your help, but my money has been deducted by the system, and I don¡¯t have anything else on me¡­ Can I treat you to a cup of milk tea?¡± Char was a little stunned. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s not convenient for me.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Bye¡­ Thank you! I¡¯ll find a way to thank you next time!¡± Rylai went offline after saying that. Char mumbled this word and was suddenly curious. ¡°What do I look like offline? A skeleton with long, dirty hair and tubes stuck in its body? It¡¯s been so long. It should be about the same as Old Master Tong¡­¡± ¡°So you like this type of girl?¡± The Dark Elf asked. ¡°No, I like big breasts.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. You¡¯re here for the Priestess, right?¡± She seemed to have discovered the essence of the problem. ¡°She¡¯s still a child, please. Do I look like such a perverted person?¡± Char asked. He asked himself honestly and realized that he had been acting normally all this while! Evelyn carefully examined it. ¡°I think so. You¡¯ll definitely make a move on her. ¡° ¡°Then congratulations on your guess.¡± ¡°Ha¡­ As expected¡­¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s smile was hidden under her cloak, her eyes shining with excitement. (Your favorability with Evelyn has increased.] Tsk, as expected of a believer of Zin¡¯rokh. The Dark Elf was imagining things that children wouldn¡¯t be able to resist seeing. However, that was not important at all Char grabbed her hand. At first, Evelyn was slightly resistant, but she soon let nature take its course. Chapter 28 - I Can Tell a Woman by Her Scent Chapter 28. I Can Tell a Woman by Her Scent Char still came to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce and was treated with the highest level of hospitality. Felix had just climbed into his lover¡¯s bed, and he had not even taken off his pants. He still had the smell of a woman¡¯s perfume. ¡°Mrs. Jolent?¡± Char raised an eyebrow, and Felix¡¯s smile instantly froze on his face. Mrs. Jolent was one of his lovers, but that was not the main issue. The main issue was how did he know? In just a few short minutes, who would disclose the information? Could it be that the other party could recognize women by their fragrance? Was that even possible? Felix¡¯s cold sweat was pouring down his back. He felt like he was surrounded by eyes, and he was being seen through. This was the effect Char wanted. [Trade Negotiation) was a skill, and Felix¡¯s (Trade Negotiation) was at the maximum level. There were few people in the entire United Holy Kingdom who were better than him. If it was not for the fact that this fat man with hair like Trump¡¯s was too important, Char would not have wanted to deal with him. This was because the skill was too overpowered. The bonus from max-level (Trade Negotiation) was unreasonable. Not to mention the NPC¡¯s speaking skills, just the value alone was 40%. For example, if Char wanted to buy an item for 10 gold coins, the starting price would be 14. On the other hand, if he wanted to sell it, he could only sell it for 6 gold. However, after many tests, Char found that as long as he took advantage of the other party¡¯s timid character and put him into a dazed¡¯ state, (Trade Negotiation) would not work. This was only the first step. Char said, ¡°Mrs. Jolent¡¯s husband is a Gruber Officer, right? I heard that he¡¯s been in Makus City for a month.¡± Felix smiled in embarrassment and wiped the sweat off his forehead. ¡°This has nothing to do with our business. Sir, you should¡­¡± ¡°When you helped Mrs. Jolent deal with that batch of prohibited items, you fired an inflexible supervisor, right?¡± Char¡¯s finger tapped on the table. ¡°I think you should remember that guy¡¯s name is Sanji. He¡¯s Half-Barbarian, tall, and almost got into a fight with you.¡± ¡°Why did you mention him?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen him before. Guess where?¡± ¡°Where?¡± ¡°In the military camp of Makus City. He¡¯s now the Captain of Gruber Officer¡¯s infantries.¡± ¡°What?¡± Felix¡¯s face suddenly turned pale, and his body went limp in his chair. His mind was filled with the consequences of Gruber finding out about this ¡­ As an absolute confidant promoted by Burwell, as long as Gruber sent back an angry message, he would most likely have to leave Astan City! Felix was so anxious that his brain was almost cooked. ¡°What?¡± Char tapped the table and tried to keep it short. ¡°Now, let¡¯s talk about the Gryphon. I¡¯ll sell it to you for 25 gold coins.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Felix raised his head in surprise. The price was not high, but it was not cheap either. It was just within his acceptable range¡­ If it was in the past, he would definitely haggle the price. However, he did not have the time at that moment! ¡°Done¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll add two more spots,¡± Char said. ¡°What spots?¡± ¡°After the auction is over, the number of guards for the team you rush back to Andaheim.¡± Andaheim was the general name for the Light Forest and the surrounding Light Elf towns. Felix lived on the edge of the city The cities at the edge were not recognized by the elves, but they were indeed in Andaheim, and they could squeeze into the army. ¡°It¡¯s that simple?¡± Felix couldn¡¯t believe it. Char chuckled. You might think it¡¯s easy now, but you¡¯ll bleed a lot later. ¡°It¡¯s that simple.¡± ¡°Alright, deal!¡± Felix was very satisfied with this deal, and he signed the contract. To him, this was definitely the most important contract. If he broke his promise, he would never be able to earn a single gold coin for the rest of his life. The reason why he was so forthright was that he was afraid that Char would use this important information as a bargaining chip to threaten him. After the deal was done, Felix thanked him and went to deal with his own business. After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°The stench on that fat pig¡¯s body is suffocating me.¡± ¡°Come on, you¡¯re so nervous you¡¯re almost out of breath.¡± Char raised his hand, which was clenched by Evelyn just now. It was a good thing he had 19 points of strength. Otherwise, he would probably get a broken finger. At that time, there were at least eight level 40 Light Elf Guards standing behind the two of them. It was simply too exciting. Evelyn looked away awkwardly and changed the topic on purpose. ¡°Where are we going next?¡± ¡°Upgrade,¡± Char said. Char chose the most remote path in Astan City. There was no one around, and the light dimmed. The more she walked, the more frightened she became. This road led to the secret stronghold of the Dark Brotherhood¡­ However, the problem was, this was clearly a secret passage only for internal personnel, so how could this guy be so familiar with it? He did not stop along the way, as if he was at home. The entrance was set in a hidden house in the shantytown. If it was safe, he would hang a green felt hat in the yard. It was safe today. The two of them climbed over the wall without a sound. Just as Evelyn was about to go up and exchange signals, Char pulled her back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Shh, listen.¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s heart clenched. She was sensitive to the word. Could it be¡­ She walked a few steps forward against the wall and came to the window. The bed in the room creaked, mixed with extremely suppressed moans. Clearly, there were only two people. The blush on Evelyn¡¯s face crept up to her ears in a second. She quickly turned around to leave, but she bumped into Char¡¯s arms. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What about me?¡± Char opened her arms and made a funny look. Embarrassed and annoyed, Evelyn was about to leave when a strange sound came from the room. ¡°Who¡¯s outside?¡± The two of them suddenly stopped moving and leaned against the wall like statues. The sound of footsteps came from the window, and Evelyn nervously approached Char, the two of them tightly hugged together. The NPC guarding the secret door was level 35. Although he was a level 35 Veteran Militia with only a basic 5 points of perception sense, his combat attributes were high. The current situation was unreasonable. If they were to fight, it would be a big problem. At least, that was what she thought. Just as the Dark Elf was feeling nervous, a restless hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and slowly reached into her clothes. ¡°Oh¡­ You¡­¡± Evelyn trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Her body was sensitive, and she had to grit her teeth and not make a sound, she immediately glared at Char, warning him to behave. Char pretended to look around. With his familiarity with her, he would not cross her bottom line so easily. ¡°Creak!¡± The window was pushed open, and Evelyn¡¯s muscles tensed up for a moment, but then relaxed in Char¡¯s hands. ¡°Did you hear wrongly? Damn it, who¡¯s disturbing us¡­?¡± The person who opened the window mumbled a few words and closed the window again when the female voice inside called out. The Dark Elf heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Char whispered in her ear, and his breath hit her ear, making her feel itchy all over. Evelyn¡¯s entire body went limp. She could only roll her eyes at him charmingly. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and let his hands go through the back of his neck and the back of his legs. ¡°How are we going to get down?¡± She asked. Char carried her over the high wall and returned to the fork. ¡°I suddenly thought of it¡­ We don¡¯t have to take that path.¡± ¡°Char!¡± Chapter 29 - Fight Club Chapter 29. Fight Club With this shock, her body was no longer soft, and her legs were full of strength. She even wanted to hit someone. ¡°You¡¯re doing this on purpose,¡± The Dark Elf jumped down and immediately turned hostile. A second ago, they were so close to each other, but the next second, she turned into a cold queen. ¡°How powerful! How would I know that someone was doing something in the room?¡± Char said innocently. ¡°Aren¡¯t you God¡¯s chosen one?¡± ¡°You finally believe me.¡± ¡°You ¡­¡± Evelyn took a deep breath, her chest was rising and falling, and she calmed down after a few seconds. ¡°Lead the way,¡± Such a small matter was not enough to make her angry. It was just that she had never taken advantage of Char, which made her very unhappy. After all, she was a picky woman. ¡°As expected of Miss Evelyn,¡± Char praised. ¡°You¡¯re even a little faster than the others in calming down.¡± ¡°Hmph, I just want to know where the second way to the stronghold is.¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t say I was going to your stronghold¡­¡± ¡°Then where are you going?¡± ¡°The fight club.¡± ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Char pointed at the entrance of the Dark Brotherhood. ¡°Go down the steps there and explain as you walk.¡± In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Evelyn concealed herself and walked in front. Char admired the perky, translucent butt in front of him, and explained as he walked,¡± ¡°Svartalfheim blockaded Andaheim more than a decade ago. Before that, there were a group of purple-skinned cavemen living underground. Do you remember?¡± ¡°I know. They have blisters on their heads. They call themselves Ancient Mushroom Man, and they even set up a company¡­¡± ¡°Scarlet Mushroom Investment Company,¡± Char said, ¡°They bribed your former queen and got the news in advance. They escaped before the Night Lord sealed off the underground and formed the ¡®Gold Association¡¯ with the Goblins on the surface. The full name is ¡®Gold Alliance¡¯.¡± ¡°Goblins? Those green-skinned dwarves who only know how to make potions and feed Ogres? They¡­ Aren¡¯t they very weak?¡± ¡°In terms of physical strength, they are indeed weak, but they¡¯re very knowledgable¡­¡± Char said helplessly. There were some great principles that were not suitable to be explained to Evelyn, such as productivity, currency, finance, and so on. She had almost no concept of this. This was a problem of education. Although she had received the education of a queen, 70% of the education was about how to serve the Night Lord, and the remaining 30% was about torture, etiquette, and hatred. There was no knowledge, production, or scientific development. It was simply a disgrace to education! With such an education, it was no wonder that even after thousands of years of secret planning, they still could not counterattack the surface. Furthermore, whenever a Dark Elf was sent out on a mission, they would basically end up in a state of ecstasy. ¡°In short, you just have to remember that the the Gold Association is a very strong club.¡± Char concluded. The Dark Elf was still doubtful. The two of them went into a sewer and went more than ten meters deep, braving the stench. They were blocked by a yellow-green water curtain. ¡°Are you sure the entrance is here¡­¡± While Evelyn was still hesitating, Char pushed her in. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Evelyn¡¯s scream stopped abruptly because the touch she had imagined did not happen. In an instant, she realized that it was a teleportation gate! She opened her eyes. Her body was as clean as the air around her. The two of them were in a building that looked like an arena, with a translucent ceiling. The arena was surrounded by wooden fences with sharpened roofs. It was obviously made of top-quality peach wood, but it had a brown metallic luster. The Dark Elf knew that it was a greasy luster that could only be obtained after it had been repeatedly stained with blood and wiped hundreds of times until the blood had seeped into the wood¡¯s veins and could not be wiped away. It was clearly a cold-blooded and awe-inspiring building, but the atmosphere in the venue was unusually warm. The noisy waves of sound mixed with the harsh music, one wave after the other, hitting their faces in the heat. Outside the fence was a complex grandstand with more than ten floors. There were all kinds of spectators shouting and screaming. It was simply a hodgepodge! She actually saw a Light Elf and a Dark Elf with their arms around each other! Dear Zin¡¯rokh, what in the world¡­ Behind the two of them was the entrance where the magical light kept spinning. Their arrival did not cause much of a stir, as if the people here were used to people suddenly barging in. ¡°Hey, man, welcome to the fight club. Where¡¯s your ticket?¡± A drunk Ogre shouted at the Dark Elf and hobbled over. The Dark Elf was curious about what was going to happen next when she saw Char take a step forward. The tip of a bright white sword emerged from the back of the ogre¡¯s neck. Bang! Bang! The fat body fell to the ground. Evelyn bent down and knocked on the door curiously. As a believer of Zin¡¯rokh, the Dark Elf did not seem to have the awareness of a murderer¡¯s companion. It was as if Char¡¯s sudden killing was not as interesting as her new discovery. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s hollow down here ¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when you see the arena.¡± Char pointed inside and wiped her sword clean on the Ogre¡¯s body. ¡°Iron net? Hollow ground? What¡¯s down there?¡± said Evelyn in shock. ¡°Fire,¡± The one who answered her was a red-headed Mushroom Man with a blister on his head. ¡°Time is money, my Goblin friends all say so. Therefore, every match will be shortened to less than ten minutes. If you exceed the time limit, the person who wastes money will be roasted and carried away.¡± He was less than a meter tall, had small eyes, and no nose. He had a red badge on his chest, on which was a hand that clutched a large gold coin. This was the head of the Astan City¡¯s fight club, the host, and the collector, Maica. They were too stingy, not even willing to hire a person to do such a thing. Fortunately, all the odd jobs were done by Ogres with low intelligence, so there would not be any trouble. He took small, unhurried steps and snapped his fingers, and someone carried the Ogre away. ¡°Welcome, both of you. Who is the contestant? Or perhaps, the two of you?¡± ¡°Me,¡± Char took out a bag of gold coins, and it was the 25 gold coins that he had just earned. ¡°Oh, I like sensible players like you.¡± The Mushroom Man squinted his eyes. He weighed the money bag in his hand, and the sound of gold coins rubbing against each other was exceptionally beautiful. He immediately took out a sign and crossed out a row of names. ¡°You¡¯ll be ranked third. Tell me your name, contestant.¡± ¡°Char.¡± The Ancient Mushroom Man wrote Char in it. Evelyn felt that he had cut the queue of at least ten people. After the Mushroom Man left, Evelyn looked at the blood stains of the Ogre being dragged away thoughtfully. ¡°Is it a sign of loyalty?¡± ¡°You mean the Ogres? No, it just said something wrong.¡± ¡°What did he say?¡± ¡°The first rule of the fight club: You can¡¯t talk about the fight club.¡± ¡°But it didn¡¯t¡­ Oh, I see. It did¡­¡± ¡°Yes, if we just barged in, this place would be finished,¡± Char explained. ¡°Interesting¡­¡± The Dark Elf licked her lips. She was starting to like this place. There was order in the chaos, and it was simply tailor-made for her. Chapter 30 - I Dont Buy It! Chapter 30. I Don¡¯t Buy It! Evelyn took off her hood, and her long hair fell down like a waterfall and scattered behind her. Then, she lazily stretched her back, revealing her beautiful curves. With 10 points of charm, he could do whatever he wanted. The eyes of all the audience members and the players in the arena were attracted. Being stared at by thousands of eyes, Evelyn did not have stage fright at all. Instead, she snorted coldly like a queen, instantly making the people who were peeking at her have the urge to kneel down and submit. This was a high and mighty queen, and it was difficult for her to have any blasphemy. This scene continued for a few seconds until someone did something. ¡°Slap!¡± Char slapped her butt hard. ¡°Put on your cloak and don¡¯t waste time.¡± ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re jealous.¡± The corners of Evelyn¡¯s lips curled up as she wrapped her arms around Char¡¯s neck and leaned on him. Her legs wrapped around him tightly like a koala bear. The crowd immediately let out discontented whistles and boos. ¡°You¡¯re drawing hatred to me,¡± Char said. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m just letting you warm up before going down¡­ Don¡¯t let the 25 gold coins go to waste.¡± This was Evelyn¡¯s revenge to Char The Dark Elf glanced at him, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. Evelyn¡¯s 10 points of charm and her dual aura as a level 45 expert gave her a sense of deja vu. Char, who was beside her, seemed to be just a foil, or rather, a plaything. She was only doing this to fully display her womanly beauty and not to lower her status. Almost everyone was thinking the same. Char was too lazy to argue or explain. In any case, there would be someone who would take the initiative to help him vent his anger. After a minute of silence, the two opponents, who were on the verge of death, reached a subtle compromise and tacitly faced each other from a distance. As a result, the people in the spectator area were unhappy. ¡°Hey, are you guys still going to fight?¡± ¡°You two pieces of trash. Hurry up!¡± ¡°Get that Dark Elf to leave with her toys. Don¡¯t disturb us from watching the match!¡± ¡°Let me do it!¡± The Dark Elf who had his arm around the Light Elf¡¯s shoulder jumped down. This was a level 25 Drow Swordsman. He had a slender body and looked very worthy of his 8 charm points. He had probably lived on the surface for too long and had almost forgotten how a male Dark Elf should treat a female Dark Elf with respect. He actually approached her with a sunny smile and said, ¡°Hey, pretty lady, want to have a drink with me?¡± The audience was also very cooperative. ¡°Well done, dark-skinned boy!¡± ¡°Break her! Let her leave in tears!¡± ¡°You two pieces of trash. Hurry up!¡± ¡°Hey, don¡¯t rush me¡­¡± The male elf helplessly opened his arms, as if he was welcoming the cheers. He looked very skilled. He turned around to face the two of them, and this time, his target was Char. ¡°Hey, b*stard¡­¡± The misty sword was like a clear stream of silk, pointing at the male Dark Elf. Char immediately used his actions to stop him from talking He aimed at the elf¡¯s unsheathed right hand and pierced it as the elf watched in disbelief. The difference in agility between the two of them was nearly 20 points. However, Char¡¯s attack was extremely decisive, as reckless as a Sun Knight¡¯s. Who could withstand this sudden attack? Besides, the elf had never thought that someone would attack his right hand for no reason. In order to cheat others in the future, he had pretended to be a right-handed person for more than ten years, and he had never told anyone about this secret. However, he did not expect that his disguise would be seen through with a single glance! The Dark Elf Drow Swordsman¡¯s right hand was crippled after a single attack. With a light tap, Char immediately returned to his original position. With an unfathomable dead face, he even said in a cold voice. ¡°You have lost,¡± Char said. This posturing was fresh and refined, simply like a master who hid his skills. The Dark Elf was shocked, but he held on. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°You know it clearly in your heart. If there¡¯s a next time, my sword won¡¯t be able to avoid your vital parts.¡± Char did not even spare him a glance. The elf had a complicated look in his eyes. After thinking about it, he finally bowed and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°We¡¯re leaving just like that?¡± Evelynn turned her head, her eyes filled with mockery. Even though she was still hanging on Char, her queen-like aura made him look like a tree. The Dark Elf shuddered. The self-awareness that had been ingrained in his bones was instantly awakened. He hurriedly kneeled on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground, his bloodied hand against the back of his head and raised it above his head, his left hand tapping his palm three times. ¡°I¡¯ve received your blessing. Get lost.¡± ¡°Praise your benevolence. Thank you for forgiving me. May the Night Lord bless me.¡± The Dark Elf stood up, not even having the courage to take another look. She left in a sorry state, leaving behind a trail of blood. ¡°He probably remembered that he¡¯s a Dark Elf now.¡± Evelyn teased, and Char rolled his eyes. ¡°How do you know that his dominant hand is his right hand?¡± She hugged Char¡¯s arm and asked in a coquettish manner. ¡°Don¡¯t ask. If you ask, you¡¯ll be a Chosen One.¡± That elf was called Genya, and they would meet again in the future. He was considered a rather legendary character. In the past reincarnations, he had fought with him many times and even learned a few of his skills. However, he had to be careful every time and maintain the favorability level below that of a good friend because Genya was gay. The current Genya was only level 25, so it was not impossible for him to defeat him in a real battle. They could fight, but there was no need to. If he went too far, it would have a slight impact on the next plan. Maica was busy peeking over to assess his strength and arrange an opponent for him. ¡°Char, tell me, please.¡± Evelyn was still acting cute. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Ha? What are you talking about?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t buy it. It¡¯s useless to act cute in front of me.¡± Evelyn¡¯s expression changed in a second. ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll think highly of you just because you stood up for me. If it wasn¡¯t for the restrictions of the cooperative contract, I could crush him with one finger.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just trying to make the two idiots in there fight each other and not waste my time. What are you talking about?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Evelyn finally became quiet. After the brief disturbance on the sidelines, there was less than a minute left on the field. This time, there was no need for others to urge them to hurry up. They themselves were already anxious. In just a few seconds, both of them used their unique skills and both of them were injured. ¡°A draw!¡± The Mushroom Man who had just collected the gold coins rode on a Wyvern and flew over the arena at a low altitude. The container in his hand sucked all the gold coins in the stands into it, in exchange for a wave of vulgarities. Chapter 31 - I Want to Fight Ten People! Chapter 31. I Want to Fight Ten People! Soon, it was Char¡¯s turn. ¡°Except for the tenth match, just bet on me.¡± Char gave a silver coin to Evelyn and jumped into the arena. The stadium instantly fell silent, and only the noisy host started shouting. ¡°Look, a brand new character has made his grand entrance! ¡°Without a doubt, he¡¯s a new recruit. His past battle records have all been zero. Tell me loudly, what does this mean? ¡°That¡¯s right, this means infinite possibilities! ¡°As long as you bet that he will win, you can use one silver coin to earn all the gold coins you have lost in the past! ¡°So what are you waiting for? Place your bets, guys! ¡°Now, let¡¯s see who the young Char will fight¡­ Draw lots, begin!¡± The arena¡¯s wooden fence was surrounded by a circle of red and green crystals. Each of them was the size of a watermelon and embedded in a stone base. The light was like a neon light flowing on top of it, ear-piercing music sounded, and the stands were filled with the clattering of bets. The ray of light circled around and finally stopped on a crystal in the corner. Number 14. ¡°Contestant number 14, oh, I remember now. He¡¯s Genya¡¯s good friend, the handsome Light Elf Wizard, Johnny Orson! Let¡¯s welcome, Johnny!¡± Cheers and whistles resounded throughout the stadium. Johnny stepped on a magic bat, showered and cheered, and slowly landed in front of Char. The rules of the wrestling club were as such. The opponent would be randomly selected from the registered players or the players trained by the club. The red and green lights were the distinction. The red light represented the club¡¯s own members, while the green light represented the registered players. Johnny Orson. Level 22 Elementalist. Level 24 Arcanist. As far as this player was concerned, there was nothing much to say about him except that his intelligence was as high as 50. The interesting part about him was his family. As soon as Johnny landed, he raised his wand and made a provocative gesture at Char. ¡°The way you insulted Genay was really disgusting, b*stard. I will make you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!¡± ¡°Your mother is dead,¡± Char said. ¡°Bastard! How dare you?¡± Johnny¡¯s robe moved without any wind, and a huge fireball instantly condensed at the tip of the wand, flying over with a long flame tail. Char swung his misty sword and used (Dark Moon Slash] to split the fireball in half. The fire brushed past his hair and took away 20 hp. ¡°I¡¯m not scolding you. Your mother is really dead.¡± Char repeated, ¡®If you don¡¯t believe me, take out your Companion Crystal and take a look. I won¡¯t make a move.¡± Clang! He threw the sword a few meters away. This distance was definitely safe. Johnny frowned. He first set up a barrier, raised his mage shield, and then took out his Companion Crystal. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Johnny let out a cry of despair. There was a green crystal in his palm, and there were still traces of blood inside. However, it was broken into three pieces! When a Light Elf was born, the Holy Tree would secrete a drop of liquid that would fuse with the baby¡¯s blood to form a crystal, indicating the elf¡¯s life and death. Every time a Light Elf went out to train, they would exchange crystals with their closest family members to know the situation of their relatives even when they were thousands of miles away. ¡°How could this be?¡± Johnny seemed to have gone crazy. His mind was blank, and he was incoherent. He actually threw down his wand and staggered toward Char. He grabbed Char¡¯s collar and said, ¡°You know, don¡¯t you? Do you know what¡¯s going on?¡± I rer ¡°Do you remember Upland? That 120-year-old single man who confessed to your sister and was humiliated.¡± ¡°I remember. Did he do it?¡± Johnny asked through gritted teeth. ¡°He didn¡¯t do it. You must remember that he didn¡¯t do it. You can ask him about the process and reason. Now, go and find him. Don¡¯t believe anything from anyone else except him,¡± Char said. He could not explain this matter clearly, not even when it came to the fire that had risen under the iron net. It was too chaotic¡­ The lifespan of a Light Elf was 300 to 500 years, and they were famous for their longevity. The charm of the race was generally in the range of seven to nine, which was quite pleasing to the eye. In addition, their long vitality gave them extraordinary energy, so the Light Elves of Andaheim were almost connected to each other in love at will. However, their private lives were really messy ¡°For example, Upland pursued Johnny¡¯s sister back then, but he failed! Then, he switched his target to Johnny¡¯s mother!¡± Hence, he went after Johnny¡¯s mother and succeeded while Johnny was out on vacation. Johnny¡¯s sister was not happy! Why did this annoying man suddenly become her stepfather and was always in her house? Thus, she came up with a bad idea. She would seduce Upland and have her boyfriend seduce her mother in an attempt to separate the two of them. The plan went smoothly at first, but then there was a problem. The problem was with her boyfriend ¡­ As his sister¡¯s boyfriend was trying to hit on her mother, he suddenly discovered the truth. A gentle and voluptuous mature lady was much better than some proud and flat-chested little lady! Therefore, the guy betrayed Johnny¡¯s sister! Johnny¡¯s mother suddenly became a hot commodity, and Johnny¡¯s sister was in a bad mood. Not only did she become single, but she also became an orphan. Her ex-boyfriends had both become her mother¡¯s boyfriends. How could there be such a thing? Hence, she became wicked and tried to poison the three of them. Upland had escaped because of his high poison resistance, so Johnny¡¯s sister blamed him and made Upland a fugitive, forcing him to leave Andaheim. Johnny would meet him on the way back. Therefore, he was the only one who could explain this clearly to him. If Johnny believed his sister¡¯s words, then no one would know the truth. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll remember that. Char, right? I¡¯ll remember you.¡± Johnny grabbed his wand and was about to rush out of the arena. ¡°Wait!¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Please teach me one spell.¡± Johnny was in a rush, so he threw him a stone with runes carved on it and turned around to leave. ¡°Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!¡± The alarm that signaled the departure of the player rang, and Char was declared the winner. The audience was silent. A few seconds later, they suddenly burst out in a deafening shout, ¡°It¡¯s fixed! ¡°Manipulation! I want a refund!¡± ¡°Johnny Orson, you b*stard!¡± ¡°Somebody! Please take care of this!¡± ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡± The waves of denouncement were endless. Maica, the Mushroom Man, had a red mushroom cap on his head as he rode the wyvern into the sky. The wyvern let out a Dragon Breath as it swept across the stands. The vigorous audience ran faster than anyone else. As soon as Maica landed, they were back again. This time, everybody was very quiet. Everyone knew that Char had won, and they were just venting their dissatisfaction. ¡°The match continues. Next!¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Char raised his hand as he said while clenching his fist ¡°I want to fight ten people!¡± They were shocked. Silence. It was dead silent as nobody dared to make a sound. Chapter 32 - Tippi Chapter 32. Tippi Every time Char said this line, he felt great, as if Ip Man had possessed him. According to the rules of the fight club, if one requested to fight ten people, they would fight ten people one by one, not one breath. This was because of the fourth rule of the fight club. Only 1v1 was allowed, and no other forms were allowed. Once you were able to defeat ten people, not only would you receive a valuable bonus, but more importantly, you would also have shares in the Gold Association. Even if it was only 0.1%, it was an astronomical figure for an organization like the Gold Association that controlled the entire world¡¯s financial trend. However, in fact, no one could accomplish this feat. There was no doubt that there was something shady going on. This was due to the club would control your opponent. Even if you used your feet to think, you would know that the drawing of lots could be controlled. From the moment you chose to fight ten opponents, your opponent was no longer a contestant. You could only see a constantly flashing red light. That would be your death star shining. They were clearly cheating! However, Char did not care. He was here for the fighters in the fight club, and he would not gain any experience from beating others! Moreover, the biggest benefit of this rule to him was that he did not have to queue, which could save him a lot of time. The host, Maica, broke the silence. He changed his sharp voice and said in a low voice, ¡°So, in this round, who will the newcomer Char, who has a score of 1-0, face? Let¡¯s draw lots and begin.¡± The two-colored lights chased each other around the stage, attracting the attention of all the spectators. Evelyn¡¯s grip on the bars tightened. It stopped. Red light. It was a 9. For a moment, the stadium was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard. However, a suppressed roar suddenly erupted from a certain point. ¡°Manipulation!¡± ¡°Tippi? It¡¯s going to pull out the newbie¡¯s intestines!¡± ¡°Maica, you bastard! You¡¯re scamming me of my money again!¡± ¡°Next round, hurry up!¡± Maica ignored this and shouted, ¡°Begin!¡± The next second, a cover in the corner of the arena was lifted, and a cute penguin came out. It was still an Emperor Penguin, with bright fur, and it swayed left and right as it walked, looking extremely silly and cute. Who knew how many newbies would die at this guy¡¯s hands¡­ Char thought. Tippi¡¯s number was 9, and he was a fighter trained by the club. It was not inappropriate to call him a monster. The red light indicated that they were numbered 1827. There were a total of 27 fighters, and the higher the number, the stronger they were. The strongest one was number 27, who had yet to appear so far. However, Char knew that number 27 was Zin¡¯rokh himself. The Destroyer of Worlds stood behind the Gold Association. The group of green-skinned dwarves and Mushroom Men sold this world for a good price. After all, money was the only truth. That was why they were so confident that if someone were to stand in the tenth round, they could just ask Zin¡¯rokh to disguise himself and go up directly. However, those secrets had nothing to do with him at the moment. What Char needed to deal with was this seemingly cute but bloody fellow¡­ Tippi, the Emperor Penguin. Tippi did not have high attributes. Perception and intelligence were all 1, strength 15, and constitution 20. What was terrifying was its agility. It had 100 points of agility. The Penguin that could not even walk steadily had a total of 100 points of agility. When it moved, people would not be able to see anything! Even though it was strong, it still had two passive abilities. [Unsteady ]: Every point of agility can increase fodge by 1%. That meant 100% evasion of physical attacks. [Unclear]: Every point of agility increases attack speed by 10% and movement speed by 1%. This meant that his normal attack speed was 10 times faster than his normal attack speed, and his movement speed was doubled. In addition, it had 44 fangs that were even denser than the piranhas¡¯. If they really fought¡­ If he were to fight with Tippi seriously, he would have to wait until he was around level 35 before he could fight it. At that time, he could fight against a five-speed fan in close combat and fly a kite in the distance. However, if they were to really fight, Char would be killed by Tippi in two seconds with 17 pecks in one round. However, Tippi still had one weakness¡­ Or maybe two. As its passive state was written, it could not stand still and could not see clearly. This was easy to deal with. Why did the club dare to release Tippi first? This was because they had determined that Char was at most a level 20 melee and that he would be easily defeated by Tippi. However, what if he was not a melee? Char crushed the Runestone in his hand. The thing could also be called a Skill Stone. In ¡°Fantasy World,¡± there were two ways to learn skills. The first way was to be taught by NPCs, and the player would start from Level 1. There was also the Skill Stone. The stone was expensive and rare, and generally. Only individuals with strong vitality like elves could afford to build it. They first trained a simple skill to level 5 and above then sealed this part of memory and proficiency, engraved it into a stone, and created a skill stone. As Char crushed the stone, a system notification sounded. (You¡¯ve learned a skill: level 5 Grease.] (You¡¯ve learned the basic Arcanist skill. Class change detected. Do you accept?] ¡°I accept.¡± (You¡¯ve become an Arcanist. Current level 1.) Char¡¯s input of experience had raised it to level 5, intelligence to 13.5, perception to 17.5, and strength 0.5 per level lower than the strength adjustment of the Drow Swordsman, so it was not included in the calculation. In just a few seconds, he had changed from a simple Drow Swordsman to a dual-cultivator, and Tippi was still not awake. Char raised his hand and use the spell he just learned. A black oil-like viscous liquid appeared out of thin air and poured on the Emperor Penguin¡¯s skin. The penguin squeaked twice and slipped in the oil. It now looked like a helpless marine creature in an environmental poster. Not only could it not open its eyes, but it could not even stand. If it also had a status bar, it should have the words ¡°disturbed, movement speed reduced by 99%, vision limited.¡± Then, Char raised his sword. He took a big step forward and glided forward on the black oil. The tip of his sword was pointing at the Tippi and getting closer and closer. Before he could, Maica suddenly shouted, ¡°Char wins the second round!¡± The well lid bounced up and hit Char¡¯s sword, slowing him down. At the same time, a tentacle full of suction cups emerged from below and brought Tippi back in lightning speed. Tsk, Mayenne was already in Astan City. Char pouted. It was a monster of the deep sea, and the future body of Fredrick, the Archbishop. It was strange that a creature as strong as a dragon would go crazy and want to transform into a human. As for the powerhouses among humans who pursued eternity, most of them had given up on their human appearance and made themselves neither human nor ghost. ¡°The newcomer, Char, has brought us endless surprises. He actually defeated the cute and charming Tippi! It seems that we can¡¯t underestimate this person. His current record is 2:0. Place your bets, and we¡¯ll find out who his next opponent is!¡± A new round of light flashed, and Maica rode the wyvern and rolled up another wave of money. Then, he threw a part of it to Evelyn. ¡°All in.¡± The Dark Elf spoke in the English that Char had taught her and threw the money back. ¡°Char, victory.¡± She looked at Maica provocatively. ¡°Ma¡¯am, are you sure?¡± The red-headed Mushroom Man squinted his small eyes, not hiding the warning in his words. ¡°I¡¯m sure,¡± ¡°Char, victory!¡± ¡°I¡¯m also betting on Char!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the same!¡± ¡°Char, hurry up!¡± For a time, the stadium was filled with shouts. Chapter 33 - How Could This Be Possible? Chapter 33. How Could This Be Possible? Number 11, Blatter, the Acid Sludge Monster, who had infinite clones. It moved slowly, and the acid it secreted could melt most metal. It was also almost immune to physical attacks. However, Char¡¯s sword had struck the squirming, booger-sized, transparent core in its body. Number 14, Violent Bear Osso. His strength was as high as 125 points, his constitution and agility were 50 and 40 respectively, and he had thick skin and was almost immune to physical attacks! Even an excellent level 40 Swordsman would not have an advantage against it. However, Char seemed to have fought with it countless times. His speed was neither fast nor slow, and he was always a few millimeters away from the bear¡¯s paw, avoiding it by a hair¡¯s breadth every time. This made Osso angry and he cried out in pain. The last heavy punch that he could not hold back landed on his head, and he fainted. Number 17, Lightning Magic Puppet, Krank. Physical attacks below 300 points would not be able to break through the defense of the all-metal figure with a constitution of 200 points. To reach this number, one had to be at least level 35. Not to mention, it had a shield ten times its size and could slowly repair itself. It was simply a lawless mobile fortress! However, Char was able to maneuver around as he was able to predict its landing point every time as if he had seen through its program ¡­ Finally, Krank overheated and died. Char stood on top of his head and watched, not suffering any damage¡­ Number 18, Leopard Man, Bomb¡­ Number 21, Dwarf Wizard, Milywater¡­ Maica was scattering coins in the air while riding the wyvern. His heart ached so much that he squeezed his small eyes out. He felt so painful as he scattered the coins! He threw out large amounts of gold coins into the pockets of the gamblers. Since the opening of the fighting club in Astan City, there had never been such a scene. The one who profited the most was still Evelyn. The bag of silver next to the Dark Elf had all been exchanged for gold coins. There seemed to be more than a thousand of them. She had earned it with a silver coin. No one back then could achieve such efficiency. If Char did not ask to fight ten opponents, then the game would be lost due to the lack of opponents as everyone unconditionally bet on Char winning However, the problem was that Char was on the way to fighting ten opponents, and all of his opponents were from the dealer¡¯s side. The fighters in the fight club had their own set of odds for each of them. Regardless of whether it was high or low, as long as Char won, he would lose money. The problem was that Char had never lost! Moreover, he was not overwhelmingly strong. On the contrary, he was still very weak. The combat power that he had displayed was at best at the level of the Swordsman, Genya. However, the way he used his power and his familiarity with his opponent was simply outrageous! It was like carving cheese with a needle! Not a single bit of power was wasted, not a single unnecessary movement! If these monsters had not grown up under Maica¡¯s eyes, he would have thought that he had raised them! From the initial shock to the current numbness, Maica was starting to panic. What if¡­ What if he really ended all 26 opponents and came to face the last opponent? Was he really going to summon that existence? Although it was only a projection, Astan City was within the range of the Church of Judgment. If this was not courting death, what was it? Maica had a headache. Char¡¯s current score was 9-0. Not counting Johnny Orson, he was only two people away from killing ten people. The number had already reached 24. Maica would rather give him his head than give him 0.1% of the shares¡­ The Gold Association had a rule that the shares would come from the local person in charge, and he only had 0.1% of the shares. ¡®Zin¡¯rokh above, please save me!¡¯ At this moment, a voice came from the arena. Maica¡¯s head hurt even more. ¡°Next.¡± Char raised her sword and gave a look to Evelyn. ¡°Next!¡± ¡°Next!¡± ¡°Next!¡± The audience was like Winston in heat. They jumped up, thumped their chests, and stomped on the floor, letting out moans of success in their courtship. Their shouts shook the sky, and even the breath of Maica¡¯s wyvern could not stop them. Maica turned around, scattered the coins in his hand, and came in front of Evelyn. ¡°What are you betting on this time?¡± ¡°Char.¡± The answer remained the same. Maica took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, ¡°Don¡¯t you regret this!¡± The Dark Elf laughed contemptuously. Her red lips parted slightly, her voice barely audible. ¡°Char, defeated.¡± Maica was stunned. ¡®Oh my Zin¡¯rokh¡­ ¡®You¡­ you heard my prayers?¡¯ ¡°What? Didn¡¯t you hear me clearly?¡± ¡°No, nothing.¡± Maica nodded vigorously, the red mushroom cap on his head shaking a few times. However, the moment he turned around, the smile on the person in charge¡¯s face turned into two sinister lines. Now you know to stop ¡­ It was too late! Maica wanted to give Char the noob opponent, and he would like to see how Char handle it. If he dared go easy on his opponent, he would be beaten to death by a gambling addict! The red and green lights started to chase each other again. The exciting music accompanied by the audience¡¯s howls slowed down. The exciting moment was about to arrive! The answer was revealed! Ding! Ding! Red light. Number 1. The stadium was silent, and a moment later, earth-shaking laughter erupted. The content was nothing more than laughing about whether the mic machine was faulty, and that one could not renege on debt if they lost their underwear¡­ How could Char, who was Number 24, lose to Number 1? How was that possible? This must be Maica¡¯s bad luck. He had wanted to release number 27, but an extra crystal rolled in! However, Char, who was standing in the ring, understood that this was Maica¡¯s revenge. The child beggar with the number 1 was one of them. However, unfortunately, this was not enough to disgust him, because this was one of his main goals for coming here. The other goal was naturally experience and money. Without even calculating, Char knew that when he walked out of the fight club, he would have 482 gold and enough experience to level up to level 24. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, a skinny and dark-skinned young man climbed out from under the manhole cover. He was really too thin and weak. He had to support himself with two hands to climb out. His whole body was wet and dripping with water. He had a short sword on his waist. Although it was called a short sword, it was actually a wooden stick embedded with a sharp piece of iron and tightly tied with animal skin. Char watched as he stood up, pulled out his sword, and prepared to attack. ¡°You¡¯re called Luke, right?¡± Char said. The young man was stunned. ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°How much do you owe Maica?¡± ¡°A lot of them.¡± ¡°How much is a lot?¡± ¡°A lot.¡± ¡°Can you leave after paying back the money to Maica?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Very good,¡± Char said. Char whistled and ended the conversation. He pointed at himself. ¡°Defeat me. You¡¯ll have enough money to get out of this place.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Luke¡¯s eyes lit up. Her eyes were brighter than any other NPC that Char had ever seen. ¡°Yes, but you only have one chance. I¡¯ll defend and you attack. If you can injure me, I¡¯ll admit defeat.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Luke said. Luke nodded and closed his eyes. He was adjusting his breathing. At the same time, Char was also extremely careful. Luke only knew one skill. [Flash] In this desperate situation, he would use the advanced form, (Despair Flash). This was a skill similar to Saitama Sensei¡¯s [Normal Punch) and (Serious Punch). Any creature with a physical weakness could be instantly killed. However, Luke had to hit his opponent first. In other words, this skill was useless as long as it did not break the defense, and it could actually be blocked! As for the owner of this skill, Luke, was still too weak. He was only Level 5, and he would always be Level 5. Chapter 34 - Im Crying Chapter 34. I¡¯m Crying If Char did not bet on himself, the other party would invite the Dwarf Mage, Number 26, Milhaus. Milhaus was a level 55 mage with three skills, ice and fire. He only knew four skills, but his casting time was only a quarter of a normal mage¡¯s. Even a level 60 player might not be able to defeat him. However, this guy was actually very easy to deal with. He was extremely afraid of his wife, and Char only needed to say one word to scare him away. If he did that, he would not be able to clean up the mess. It would be a disaster if Maica summoned Zin¡¯rokh here, and priestess Mia would die in battle. This was something Char did not want to see. Moreover, once he owned 0.1% of the Gold Association¡¯s shares, he would be rich on one hand, but on the other hand, he would be targeted by the Church of Judgment. Paladins with a level 10 (Stealth) were no laughing matter. They had to bring the wet soil back for a urine test even when Char was peeing, let alone bringing a Dark Elf like Evelyn around. Therefore, he had to bet that he would lose. At the same time, it was also to save Luke. Luke had an important identity. He was the son of Fredrick, the Archbishop, and also the one who sealed the monster hidden under the fight club. The tentacle that had saved Tippi was thrown out by the sea monster controlled by Luke because Tippi was his only friend. In other words, this Archbishop who dreamed of eternal life, Mia¡¯s teacher, had used his son as a catalyst to seal this monster. As Fredrick¡¯s son, Luke was a genius. He was very talented, or he would not have been able to learn (Flash Strike). However, after being used as a medium for the seal, he would never be able to level up. Fredrick was waiting for a suitable opportunity to merge with the sea beast. At that time, Luke would die, but he did not care about his life at all. In his eyes, Luke was just a tool, not even a human. If no one intervened, the sleeping Mayenne would be trapped in the giant water tank under the club, and Luke would stay in Astan City. When Fredrick found the right time to merge with the Holy Spirit, he would not only suffer a tragedy, but also a tragedy for Mia, who was favored by the Holy Spirit. The integration of a body required a wisp of divinity, and Fredrick had trained Mia to nourish her divinity with the girl¡¯s flawless soul and strong life force. At that time, the Priestess would burn in the divine fire, and use the last of her light and heat to fully mature her divinity. Char had seen that scene before. Mia was completely willing, burning herself in an atmosphere of despair to save everyone. Zin¡¯rokh was the reason why Fredrick did what he did. Although Zin¡¯rokh failed in the end, many people were killed in the process. Every time he repeated this line, Char was even more shocked than before. The more he learned, the more he realized that it involved the past and future of countless people. A person¡¯s fate was like a tightly-knit gear, big or small, fast or slow. It creaked under an insignificant force, and the rotation pushed the entire movement. In the end, they gathered into a force that could not be ignored, pushing the wheel of the entire world forward. It was only at this moment that the unyielding bloom of one¡¯s faith and will seemed so precious. While Char was in a daze, Luke had finished regulating his breath. He had adjusted himself to his best condition, and only a faint trace of connection was left between him and Mayenne. Most of his attention was on Char. ¡°It¡¯s time.¡± The young man said in a low voice, and his body suddenly pulled out a shadow. Everyone could clearly see the blade of the sword advancing forward, cutting through the air. He could even feel the despair and coldness of the blade. It was as if they were standing in front of the sword in Char¡¯s neck, waiting to be killed. It was meaningless to describe it. This was just a strike without any mercy or retreat. Every time this happened, Char would be moved to tears. In front of the sword, he felt fear and the desire to live from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to live. He did not want to die at all ¡®I¡¯m still a living person. ¡®I¡¯m not just some codes.¡¯ Char was already in tears. Then, he took a deep breath and kicked Luke away. He showed no mercy. Luke was sent flying and rolled a few times on the iron net. His face was also scratched. ¡°As expected, I failed again¡­¡± The teenager slowly got up, looking lonely. ¡°No, you¡¯ve succeeded.¡± ¡°Are you pitying me?¡± ¡°Look at me. I¡¯m crying already. Pity my ass.¡± Char smiled and wiped the tears off her face before jumping out of the arena. In theory, a level 14 Swordsman was also within the range of this skill. However, the reason why it was ineffective against him was not that he was strong, but because he had experienced similar situations too many times. It was a movie that would dry up your tears. You would be touched the first time, the second time, and even the tenth time you watched it. However, how could someone still cry after seeing it 177 times? Anyway, Char could not do it. However, he was still touched. He could feel the joy of being born as a human and his attachment to life, but he was not frightened by the aura of this sword. ¡°Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!¡± The ear-piercing alarm sounded, saving everyone from the sword. After the daze, the sky was filled with vulgarities, even more so than when Johnny Orson left! Among them, Maica held his head high and shouted with the highest power loudspeaker, ¡°What a pity, our Char actually lost to Number 1, Luke! ¡°Let me see how many people have guessed the wrong result¡­ ¡°Tsk, you idiots, you guys actually invested all the money you just earned. Are you pigs waiting to be slaughtered? Are your brains as big as sparrows? How can you earn gold coins like this? OV ¡°Look at that Dark Elf. She has so many gold coins that she can¡¯t carry them anymore!¡± Sure enough, the gamblers¡¯ hateful eyes fell on Evelyn, or to be more precise, on the money bag beside her hand. There were at least 3000 gold coins in it. Most of it came from their pockets. Maica played a song that only existed in the United Holy Empire competition, and the moment the passionate melody sounded, everyone was worked up. The air gradually became hot and dry. When the first person jumped down from the stands, the second person quickly followed. The third one¡­ Maica sat on a pillar used for watching the battle, looking down at the tragedy that was about to happen. He had the Ogres prepare mops and water to clean up the scene, while he stared at Char with ill intentions. Just wait for your death! ¡°You¡¯re the one who should be waiting for death, Mushroom Man.¡± Char smiled at Maica and walked straight to Evelyn. Char pulled out his sword and drew a line on the ground. ¡°Those who cross this line will die.¡± Although the gamblers were angry, they had not lost their minds. The scene of Char taking on ten people in a row was still fresh in their minds. No one present wanted to stand out, so the momentum of the crowd suddenly stopped. Just as Maica was about to persuade her, Char took out 5 gold coins from his purse. ¡°Conte, raise your hand.¡± The squirming crowd paused for a moment, and a Lion-faced Orc that was over two meters tall raised its furry arm. ¡°Catch.¡± Char threw the money out, and Conte caught it firmly. The others were also stunned. What did that mean? Was he paying back the money to the crowd? However, could he remember how much each person should take? The Orc named Conte was also very surprised. After getting the money, he did not leave but continued to look at the money bag greedily. ¡°Get lost, Conte. You¡¯ve been here since the first match that Genya participated in this morning. You¡¯ve lost a total of 5 gold coins. What do you still want?¡± The Orc laughed in embarrassment. He had wanted to fish in troubled waters, but Char was completely right, so he quickly left the stadium. ¡°Pizaro, 2 gold 50 silver. This is yours.¡± Char called out another name. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Pizaro squeezed through the crowd and said angrily, ¡°I remember it was 2 gold 70 silver!¡± ¡°80 silvers is 1.5 times that of 1 gold and 20 silvers, not 1 gold and 40 silvers. You¡¯re wrong.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. Thank you¡­¡± Pizaro replied Pizaro came to a sudden realization and left with the money. ¡°Milad, 3 gold¡­ Don¡¯t doubt me. 1.4 times 7 is 9.8, not 10.8!¡± ¡°Jimmy, 11 gold. Take it.¡± ¡°Zasia, this is yours. I won¡¯t tell you the exact number in case someone reports it to your wife. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t lie to you.¡± The money in the bag was given out by Char one by one, and the hostility in the gambler¡¯s eyes disappeared. Instead, they were filled with curiosity. Char seemed to have lived in Astain city for more than 40 years. He was familiar with everyone¡¯s past and today¡¯s experience. He could accurately point out how much money everyone had lost, not a single copper coin. Any gambler who wanted to fish in troubled waters would be seen through by him at a glance. Then, he would pinch his ears and calculate from the beginning again. He might even dig out the black materials from the past. In the end, he had no choice but to escape the ridicule of the crowd. The wagers were carried out in a strange order. In the end, not only did the gambler leave obediently, but Char herself was left with more than 400 gold coins. Boom! Maica flipped down from the pillar. He landed on his face. Chapter 35 - Righteous Soul Chapter 35. Righteous Soul ¡°Can I leave now?¡± When Maica raised his head, there was a pair of feet in front of him. She was barefooted, her toenails had been soaked black, and her ankles were full of bruises. Oh, so it was that child beggar. Maica did not know about the relationship between Luke and Mayenne. He had adopted Luke only because he had seen him walking alone in the snow. A wolf had pounced on him, but he killed it in one blow. It was five years ago when Luke was only seven or eight years old. Maica thought that this kid had potential, so he took him in. However, five years later, Luke was still only able to kill one wolf in seconds. The moves that he had been storing power for a long time could not even kill a young Ogre. Just like Char, Luke would often be sent flying by a kick. He could not even break through his opponent¡¯s defense. Maica was angry that he had made a wrong judgment, but the strange thing was that this guy could calm down the sea monsters that often went crazy, so he decided to take him in to make up the numbers. ¡°Who told you that?¡± Maica stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and looked up. ¡°Have you paid me back?¡± Luke turned around and looked at Char. ¡°Of course, I paid it off.¡± Char picked up the money bag with 482 gold coins, shook it in front of Maica, and then put it away like a magic trick. ¡°If he hasn¡¯t, I¡¯ll come back tomorrow to pay for him.¡± ¡°Hurry up and get lost!¡± Maica waved his hands frantically. Char and the other two left with the money. The three of them appeared on the street outside the sewer when Luke suddenly stopped. ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Char.¡± ¡°Thank you, Char.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going back?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Luke was shocked again. ¡°You seem to know a lot of things. You know those people very well. They¡¯ve all been frightened, but I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± ¡°Luke, we all have our own secrets, don¡¯t we?¡± Luke lowered his head. ¡°Yes, sir. I also have one.¡± ¡°Help me do something before you go back, Luke.¡± ¡°Tell me, I¡¯ll definitely do it.¡± ¡°Do you still remember your neighbor when you were seven years old?¡± Char asked. ¡°Yes, I do. It¡¯s Sister Mia, who¡¯s not very smart.¡± ¡°Yes, she is now the Priestess of Astan City.¡± The Grand Priest? A hint of disappointment flashed through Luke¡¯s eyes/ His¡­ student?¡± ¡°Yes, his student. You want to save Tippi, don¡¯t you?¡± Luke raised his head abruptly, his eyes filled with vigilance. If Char¡¯s previous guess that he was going back was an ambiguous guess, then this sentence meant that Char knew his biggest secret. This was also what Luke was most afraid of others knowing He was an ugly, huge, and ferocious monster. No one wanted to be like that. However, he could not change his fate. He did not even have the right to hate. Fredrick would visit Astan City every once in a while to erase Luke¡¯s memory and eliminate his hatred. Therefore, Luke did not even have time to accumulate his hatred for his biological father. It was not deep enough, and only had a slight conflict with him. In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, godhood suppressed humanity and even destroyed it. Therefore, Fredrick, who had lost his humanity, was the human being closest to a God. He knew something about Gods. Otherwise, he would have become a God long ago. His fear of death made him listen to Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s lies and choose the path of destruction. ¡°Everyone has their own secrets, but not everyone can keep them.¡± Char smiled and patted Luke¡¯s shoulder. ¡°In exchange, how about I tell you a secret?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± he said. ¡°Then come over here.¡± Char hooked her finger and whispered something into his ear. The two of them deliberately avoided her. However, the Dark Elf¡¯s pointy ears twitched and her face blushed. ¡°Tsk¡­ You¡¯re so glib.¡± After Char finished speaking, Luke tilted his head and looked at her. ¡°Is she the Big Sister Evelyn you like?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Char immediately pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head. ¡°Ha¡­ You¡­ How could you say it out loud¡­ I was just playing with you¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re even,¡± said Luke. ¡°I want to save Tippi, but I don¡¯t know what to do.¡± ¡°Go and see Big Sister Mia. She will help you.¡± Upon hearing the name Mia, Luke¡¯s eyes dimmed. ¡°I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with her.¡± Char shook her head. ¡°Mia is Mia. She has nothing to do with him.¡± Luke was silent for a moment as if he had accepted it. ¡°Thank you, Char. Will we ever meet again?¡± ¡°Yes, we will.¡± ¡°Thank you. Good luck, Char.¡± The two left the slums and found a hotel in the downtown area of Astan City. With 482 gold coins in her pocket, Char had chosen the cheapest hotel and room. There was only one bed. Looking at the bed that was too narrow for one person to sleep on, Evelyn hesitated. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re thinking of¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯m such an upright person, how could I have such dirty thoughts¡­¡± Char quickly defended himself. ¡°So you mean¡­¡± The Dark Elf frowned. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep on the bed/ You sleep on the floor. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°Do you even know what a gentleman is?¡± ¡°Of course I do. It¡¯s not like you didn¡¯t see how I was so gentlemanly with Ksenja. Behind every gentleman¡¯s demeanor was an ultimate goal that you thought was dirty. I¡¯m not gentlemanly to you at all, which just proves that I have no distracting thoughts and am an upright person.¡± For a moment, Evelyn could not find any words to refute him. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± The Dark Elf opened the door in confusion. Then, her body froze. In front of him was a powerful aura of holy light, which was as dazzling as the sun. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s you. Char must be here, right?¡± The visitor was Mia. His iconic physical characteristics were hidden under his white priest robe. However, Evelyn¡¯s eyes were fixed on the cross-shaped pendant in front of Mia¡¯s breast. It was the key to return to Andaheim, the pass for her to see Lucius. She chanted in her heart. ¡°Hey, monster, is Char here?¡±. ¡°What are you shouting for? I have a name,¡± said Evelynn impatiently. ¡°But you¡¯re still a monster even if you have a name.¡± Mia blinked. ¡°I¡¯ll call you by your name a few more times when you¡¯ve completely changed for the better. I¡¯m calling you a monster now to warn you to be on guard against Zin¡¯rokh¡¯s temptation and corruption. Do you understand?¡± B*tch! It was the first time that Evelyn desired power so much. If it was not for the fact that she could not kill Mia, she would have done it a few times. Char only appeared at the other end of the corridor after the two women were finished. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s Miss Mia!¡± ¡°Char! Thank you for helping me find Luke!¡± Mia excitedly charged toward Char. Charhad received a notification from the moment she said that. [Mia¡¯s favorability toward you has increased to intimate.] Chapter 36 - The Half-Tippi Lady Chapter 36. The Half-Tippi Lady Fredrick liked to make the best use of everything When he had chosen Mia as his inheritor, he had also asked her to take care of Luke on his behalf. Although in the eyes of the reclusive Luke, his neighbor Miya was not even as smart as a Penguin. If Tippi was used as a unit of intelligence, then Mia was only half a Tippi. Luke felt that he was at least three times smarter than Tippi. That was why he did not like to be with Mia. He was afraid that the wisdom would be transferred along with the concentration gradient. So, when he was seven years old, he simply found an excuse and slipped away. However, Mia had always firmly believed that she was the most important guardian of Luke. Therefore, since Luke¡¯s disappearance at the age of seven, she had been feeling apologetic. Even after she became a Priestess, she never stopped searching for Luke¡¯s whereabouts. ever Although Luke was hidden right under her nose, Mia still could not find him even after five years. She was indeed not that smart. Therefore, Luke¡¯s sudden appearance, and his claim that Char had helped him, would naturally help Char gain a good wave of favorability. ¡°Then what about Luke?¡± Char asked. ¡°Eh? He¡­ He seems to be behind us¡­ Right?¡± Mia bit her finger. She felt panicked all of a sudden. She was overjoyed when she saw Luke appear in front of her. After learning that it was Char who had helped her, she only wanted to thank him and find someone to share. Therefore, she cast (Evil Tracking) and followed her aura all the way to find Evelyn¡­ Luke had probably found an opportunity to slip away. He realized that after five years, Mia¡¯s intelligence did not improve at all. It was better to send her to Char as soon as possible to absorb her intelligence. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Luke is very smart. He¡¯s probably gone home.¡± Char consoled. ¡°Oh, oh, oh, let¡¯s go home! Speaking of going home, where has he been all these years?¡± The Priestess¡¯s body suddenly burst out with amazing power, and the image of an elder sister who was going to stand up for her younger brother was slowly rising. Eyes were very important, even though they were pure, bright, and gentle. However, her eyes were¡­ It was a long story. ¡°His body is full of scars, he¡¯s barefooted, his hair is a mess, and he¡¯s as thin as a stick. That must be a dirty and messy place, and maybe someone is abusing him! I must purify that place!¡± She grabbed Char¡¯s hand, ¡°Char, you know, don¡¯t you?¡± Some people had short arms, but they also had big breasts. Hence, Char¡¯s hand was placed in a delicate place. Separated by a layer of the soft robe, the warm object under it seemed to be even softer. Evelyn closed the door and squatted three meters away from the two. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. She¡¯s always feeling unwell for a few days every month.¡± ¡°Ah, I have this too! I can understand!¡± Mia suddenly mumbled something to Evelyn. Seeing the holy white light gathering in front of the priest, Char quickly pulled her face and interrupted her casting. ¡°What are you doing? She¡¯s a Dark Elf. Light spells will kill her!¡± ¡°Ah, ah, ah¡­ I¡¯m sorry, monster. I¡¯m really sorry. I wanted to warm your stomach¡­ I¡¯m not lying, it¡¯s really good¡­¡± Mia explained seriously, and Evelyn¡¯s face darkened with every word she said. The Dark Elf suddenly stood up and retreated a few meters. ¡°Ah, did I scare her?¡± ¡°You almost scared her to death. About the place you asked about, I¡¯ll take you there the day after tomorrow.¡± Char smiled. ¡°Why the day after tomorrow?¡± ¡°Because it¡¯s closed today. It¡¯s the Costume Festival tomorrow, so it¡¯s closed as well. Even if you go now, you won¡¯t be able to find anything. You have to bring someone in charge of tax to check the accounts.¡± Although Mia¡¯s intelligence was not high, she would not turn back once she made up her mind. ¡°Good! I believe in Char. Char would not lie to me!¡± ¡°Ahaha, you fool ¡­¡± Evelyn laughed. ¡°Hey, monster, what are you laughing at?¡± Evelyn gave her a disdainful look. ¡°You really think he¡¯s a good person?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Char is an upright person. Otherwise, she would not have saved a monster like you! You¡¯re actually not grateful! You¡¯ve been bewitched too deeply by Zin¡¯rokh!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, Mia.¡± Char shook her head, her face filled with a benevolent light. ¡°Any progress is praiseworthy. You should not keep calling her a monster. She is different from those monsters. If you keep calling her a monster, isn¡¯t it an insult to her? It¡¯s not good.¡± Mia hesitated for a while and then nodded. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Evelyn! Char is right, I should encourage you! I hope that you will work hard to change yourself and get rid of the temptation of Zin¡¯rokh as soon as possible, and become an upright person like Char!¡± Sigh¡­ Char¡¯s face turned red. Evelyn snorted and asked with a smile. ¡°Since you say he¡¯s an upright man, do you dare to spend the night here, Miss Priestess?¡± ¡°Eh? Why not? But if I¡¯m here, you won¡¯t have a place to sleep. Are you going to sleep outside the door? Even dogs aren¡¯t that pitiful.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll sleep on the floor, and you two will squeeze into the bed. If Char is an upright person as you say, then there¡¯s nothing wrong with doing this, right?¡± said Evelyn in embarrassment. Mia was troubled. ¡°Hehe, it seems like you don¡¯t believe me either.¡± ¡°No, I believe in Char!¡± ¡°Then why are you hesitating? Are you scared?¡± ¡°I¡­ I just¡­¡± Mia¡¯s intelligence made it impossible for her to refute this question. She kept feeling that something was wrong, but she could not put her finger on it. Why did she have to spend the night here? She was not able to avoid the question¡­ What would Miss Evelyn think? ¡°Ah, so you don¡¯t even believe in your own integrity, and you want me to believe him? How laughable!¡± ¡®But why do I have to spend the night here¡­¡¯ The Priestess fell into a state of confusion. Char could only accept Evelyn¡¯s assistance with tears in his eyes. The Dark Elf had no one else in her mind other than Lucius. Maybe Apple Pie. It was best not to talk about her. Be it being bullied by Char or being taken advantage of, she tolerated all of it in order to obtain information about Lucius. Other than that, destroying beautiful things had become one of her few pleasures. They believed in the nature of Zin¡¯rokh, who had been led astray in the future. The Destroyer of Worlds was definitely a god-like master at instigating crimes. Tear apart the beautiful things. Defile the pure. All of these made Evelyn feel a cruel pleasure. That was why she did not feel that she was helping Char. Char was just a tool, and what she had to do was make Mia like this tool. That was why she spared no effort to persuade Mia. She believed that Char was a bad guy, so she was happy to see such an innocent priest fall into Char¡¯s hands. Just thinking about it made her excited. Char knew what was going on in her mind. To make a Dark Elf like her open her heart was harder than ascending to heaven. However, if he succeeded, it would be quite an interesting thing The Dark Elf would definitely regret creating so many opportunities for Char and so many competitors for themselves¡­ After all, she was a possessive person by nature. All of Char¡¯s understanding of Evelyn came from her own self-narration. After being alone for so many years, she would transform into a delicate little woman and tell you everything once she had truly accommodated someone. The real names of the summoned creatures and her past with Lucius were all told to Char by her in his arms. She even had the summoned creatures line up and run from left to right, counting her fingers as if she was reviewing a military parade. Char had reincarnated so many times, and Evelyn had always given him a different feeling ¡°This time, I might as well use a completely new method¡­¡± Chapter 37 - Lets Get To Work! Young Lady! Chapter 37. Let¡¯s Get To Work! Young Lady! The intimate favorability was not enough to make Mia compromise like this. Evelyn¡¯s words only made her hesitate for a moment. Under the stimulation of the outside world, the Priestess actually learned to lie! ¡°Ah, I remember, I still have things to do in the monastery! I¡¯ll be leaving first!¡± Mia left hastily. ¡°Tsk¡­ You¡¯re not charming enough.¡± Evelyn snorted. ¡°It¡¯s your methods that are too extreme.¡± Char acted like a teacher. ¡°Mia¡¯s biggest characteristic is that she¡¯s kind, but she will stick to her bottom line. It¡¯s obviously wrong of you to let her sleep on the same bed as me as soon as you came up.¡± ¡°Then what should I say?¡± ¡°You should say that I¡¯ve been cursed. Every morning, parts of my body will petrify, and I need treatment to return to normal. That way, she will stay.¡± Evelyn was stunned for a few seconds before she snapped back to reality. She spat and cursed, ¡± ¡°Shameless pervert! You still call yourself an upright person!¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t obscene, this is just pure lust. It¡¯s man¡¯s nature. An upright person would suppress his nature and show an upright appearance. It¡¯s just like how you clearly have a perfect figure that doesn¡¯t lose to her, but I can still act as calm as water. This is integrity.¡± Char¡¯s words were so serious that the Dark Elf did not know how to react. It seemed like¡­ It seems like he was complimenting her. Although she was so aggressive in front of the Priestess as if bullying her was pure revenge¡­ Evelyn knew that her emotions were mixed with a little jealousy. Damn it! That was probably the case. Char¡¯s acknowledgment made her little emotion disappear. ¡®What a joke, would I jump for joy because of his flattery? He must be tricking me.¡¯ ¡°You¡­ Are you blind? We¡¯re not on the same level at all!¡± Char said seriously, ¡°This is the manifestation of your ignorance. It doesn¡¯t mean that the bigger the better. You¡¯re too fat if you gain one point, and you¡¯re too thin if you lose one point. It¡¯s just right. In comparison, Mia seems to be too much.¡± Hmm¡­ Did it seem to make sense? The corners of Evelyn¡¯s mouth curled up imperceptibly. Even she didn¡¯t notice that she was a little excited. ¡°You really think so?¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you to believe it or not.¡± Char pouted, stretched his limbs, and fell back on the bed. In less than ten seconds, he fell asleep and snored. Evelyn counted down to a minute in silence. ¡°You¡¯re really letting me sleep on the floor?¡± Her complaints were to no avail, so she could only lie down quietly. It had been a long time since Evelyn had a dream. She dreamed that she had followed Priestess all the way and snatched the key when she was unprepared. Then, she returned to Andaheim and finally saw the pavilion that she had been dreaming of after going through so much trouble. However, when she turned around, it was Char¡¯s face! ¡°You didn¡¯t expect it, did you? It¡¯s me, Char!¡± ¡°What the hell!¡± The Dark Elf sat up in shock. She broke out in a cold sweat. Her body was sticky and very uncomfortable. The floor must be too hard¡­ A warm touch came from under her body, and she looked around in surprise. The sky had just brightened, and the thin rays of the morning sun shone in through the gap in the curtains, leaving a bright silver thread on the bed. She was lying on a soft bed, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom. It was calm and peaceful. Just as she was in a daze, Char pushed the door open and walked out, throwing a bunch of things at her. ¡°You must be having a nightmare. The water temperature is just right. Go in and take a bath. That¡¯s a change of clothes in your hands. Today is the Costume Festival in Astan City, so you don¡¯t need to wear a cloak.¡± Evelyn did not answer but looked him up and down. ¡®He¡­ He¡¯s actually dressed so neatly and didn¡¯t take the opportunity to act like a hooligan? Did he even buy me clothes?¡¯ Evelyn looked at herself She was actually wearing normal clothes? He even knew that she had a nightmare¡­ Why was she in bed? The Dark Elf rubbed her forehead. She had not had any alcohol, but she felt like she had a hangover. While she was taking a bath, she kept thinking that Char would suddenly rush in, but the water did not turn cold even after she finished washing. ¡°Hurry up and wash up. Don¡¯t wait anymore. I won¡¯t go in.¡± ¡°Get lost! Who¡¯s waiting for you!¡± After a quarter of an hour, the two of them went to the nearest leather workshop. When they were almost there, Evelyn finally could not help but ask, ¡°How did I get into bed?¡± ¡°In the middle of the night, you were talking in your sleep. I asked, do you want to roll in bed? And you said yes, so I carried you up here.¡± ¡°What the hell!¡± ¡°Ha, I was just lying to you. I saw you lying on the ground like an unwanted puppy.¡± Char laughed, so I moved you to the bed. ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m sleeping on the floor, why would I hug you to sleep? Can you sleep if something hard is poking against you?¡± ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re that kind?¡± ¡°This is called sympathy. I¡¯ll correct you again. Of course, I know you must think that I¡¯m a pervert and planning something. It¡¯s okay.¡± Char threw the remaining bread to the stray dogs on the side of the road. ¡°I expressed sympathy to a stray dog. Do you think I want to have sex with it?¡± ¡°You¡¯re comparing me to a dog!¡± said Evelyn with a complicated expression. ¡°No, even a dog knows how to be grateful.¡± The stray dog happily ran over to thank her, and Char squatted down and patted its head. The Dark Elf blushed and quickened her pace. A gust of wind blew past, and Char seemed to hear an almost inaudible thank you. Rylai thought that she had been randomly teleported to another world. She was surrounded by people she did not know, and they were wearing all kinds of clothes. She had no sense of direction. Before she went offline yesterday, she had made sure that she was at the entrance of the Mercenary Hall. However, the guards of the Mercenary Hall had been replaced by two tall, brown-skinned Barbarians. There were also NPCs in all kinds of strange clothes standing in the hall like they were performing. She must have been teleported away! Rylai opened her bag. She had -4 silver and 35 copper. A negative number! This was the bitter consequence of forcefully giving up on the mission yesterday. As Rylai, who had a very low level, had joined a high-reputation Mercenary Association, her compatibility and priority were quite high. That was why she had been assigned a plot-related task at the first moment. On this route, even if Char did not appear, the Gryphon would be shot down by the knights of the church of judgment and then get a free ride. In other words, this was actually a good thing. She could get experience and get in touch with new organizations, opening up sacred missions. In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, the benefits and risks were often proportional. With so many benefits, the punishment for giving up the mission would be even greater. For example, her money would be reduced to a negative number, and her reputation would be tarnished ¡°This game isn¡¯t fun at all¡­¡± The young girl felt bitter in her heart. Before going online, she had posted a few threads on the forum, asking how to survive in Astan City. However, all of the replies were not friendly at all. Rylai was so scared that she thought she had done something wrong and quickly closed the forum. What should she do? The girl looked around helplessly. She opened the panel and stared at the level 4 Nursing and the level 3 Tanning, Sewing, and Cutting skills in a daze. Suddenly, Rylai stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s get to Work! Young lady!¡± Chapter 38 - 28 Gold and 5 Silver Chapter 38. 28 Gold and 5 Silver In ¡°Fantasy World¡±, non-human monsters would not drop armor. After all, killing a Demonized Rabbit the size of a football and a broadsword that was half the height of a person appeared all of a sudden would look weird. Therefore, most wild monsters would only drop materials. Of course, the Man-Eating Crocodiles and giant-mouthed frogs were exceptions. Therefore, most of the armor was built. The attributes of the armor were formed by the base value and the word suffix. The former was determined by the material used, while the latter was determined by the blacksmith¡¯s sect, experience, and personality. Serious and down-to-earth blacksmiths would create armor with the words ¡°Tight¡± and ¡°Sturdy¡±, which increased defense, toughness, and durability. Blacksmiths had the experience of being Magic Apprentices. Most of their armors had the word ¡°Magic¡± and ¡°Compatibility¡±, which increased the success rate and power of the enchantment. Blacksmiths liked to be innovative and creative. They could come up with any suffix, and they might even come up with magical prefixes or suffixes like ¡°Never worn out¡±. As for the suit, it was not made but dug out. They were magical equipment from the middle ages and ancient times, and there were even legendary and epic items with names. There were three advanced leather smiths in Astan City. At this level, they could make leather armor below level 60. If they wanted to make more, they would need master-level blacksmiths. The three of them could each provide 44 prefixes, of which only three were high-level, which were ¡°Holy: Reduced damage from magic attack¡±, ¡°Aesthetics: Charm +1¡± and ¡°Camouflage: Lower the chances of being detected.¡± Char rushed for the third one. For the rest of the trip to Andaheim, Evelyn¡¯s detection resistance had to be above level 7. In addition to the level 30 experience line, she also needed some items. Reeves¡¯s Workshop. There seemed to be an argument going on here. Char could not help but be curious. He had been here at least a few hundred times, but this was the first time he had triggered a new plot. Could it be that¡­ After looking around, he did not find any traces of the players. However, there was raw skin that had just been skinned on a work rack. It had not been tanned yet, but there were no helpers around. He also knew the two NPCs who were quarreling. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Mr. Reeves?¡± Char asked. Ghani was a leatherworker in the workshop. He was a middle-aged man from the Mediterranean Sea. Char¡¯s reputation in Astan City was temporarily neutral, so Ghani did not want to talk to him, but seeing that he was a customer, he replied, ¡°A little trouble, sir. I took in a hardworking apprentice, and she was working hard, but Mr. Simon suddenly appeared and said that her identity was not suitable because she was someone who had been punished by the Holy Spirit, and he asked me to expel her! Hmph, on what basis!¡± ¡°On the basis that I have 15% of the shares in the Reeves¡¯ Workshop, my friend,¡± Simon replied. His voice was unusually hoarse. He was a legal counsel and often ran around the Mercenary Association¡¯s Town Hall in Astan city. Although this man only had the fighting power of a civilian, he had level 7 Tax Management, Law, and level six Accounting. Every year, he would be present to supervise the tax calculation of Astan City. Felix also had dealings with him, and some of the goods that could be evaded were handled by him. Simon was dressed like an upper-class person. He wore a simple suit with his sleeves rolled up in a reserved manner. ¡°I can smell that she¡¯s going against the contract. The workshop shouldn¡¯t have hired such a person.¡± ¡°Which law did she violate? Which law states that?¡± Ghani was annoyed. ¡°No, she hasn¡¯t broken any law yet. This is just my personal wish.¡± ¡°Then my personal wish is to keep her!¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Simon smiled. ¡°The reason you kept her is that you only have to pay her one-half of the apprentice¡¯s salary, but you can get the efficiency of 1.5 apprentices. Then, what about the permit? What about the recruitment procedures? If you don¡¯t have any of those, then you¡¯re paying her a salary, but you¡¯re using the workshop¡¯s resources. As a shareholder of the workshop, I suspect you¡¯re using public equipment for private use.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Alright, stop quarreling.¡± Char could guess the problem, and he could guess the player. If he was not wrong, it would be Rylai. First of all, as a newcomer who had just left the village, her reputation in South Sea County had reached its peak. Ghani was from South Sea County, so he took care of her and opened up the apprentice position that should not have been opened. On the other hand, Rylai had given up on her mission yesterday, which caused her reputation in the mercenary Association to drop below ¡°Indifferent.¡± As Simon belonged to the Mercenary Association, he would naturally be dissatisfied with her. The so-called smell of a contract breach meant that her money and reputation would be deducted after she gave up the mission. This was the punishment from the Holy Spirit of Order. ¡°What¡¯s the apprentice¡¯s name?¡± He asked. Ghani frowned slightly. He did not like Char¡¯s nosy attitude. Just as he was about to say something rude to him, he suddenly noticed that Char was looking down at a drawer behind him. ¡®Shit¡­¡¯ Ghani quietly moved half a step away, blocking Char¡¯s view. ¡°Rylai. She¡¯s called Rylai.¡± As expected. ¡°Where is she?¡± Char asked again. ¡°She ran away while crying.¡± Hmmm¡­ She liked to cry, right? Char saw a picture. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m back¡­¡± When he turned around, he saw Rylai standing outside the door with red eyes. ¡°Char! Waaa¡­¡± Rylai burst into tears again when she saw him. Wait¡­ What was going on? ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything to her, right?¡± The Dark Elf nodded, then shook her head. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not sure.¡± Even though all of them were confused, Char still went up to comfort her. ¡°Cry as much as you can, it¡¯ll be over once your tears run dry.¡± What? Rylai blinked as she stopped crying. Char was satisfied. He had a general understanding of the situation. Even though Rylai was involved, it did not affect his plan. Rylai had blocked Simon¡¯s way, he did not have to go to the lawyer himself. Char voiced out, ¡°Mr. Simon, please state your price for your 15% shares in the Reeves¡¯ Workshop.¡± Simon was slightly startled and held his glasses. ¡®Why did this suddenly happen to me? Wasn¡¯t this the trouble of an illegal immigrant?¡¯ ¡°You want to buy her?¡± ¡°Yes, how about 100 gold coins?¡± Hearing this number, Simon¡¯s expression froze for a moment, and then he sneered with the civilized etiquette of a lawyer. ¡°Did you sleep too late last night and are still sleepwalking?¡± ¡°What about the 90 gold coins? If it really doesn¡¯t work, I can go even lower,¡± Char asked. Simon was so angry that he laughed. ¡°It¡¯s still not enough. What¡¯s the lowest you can go?¡± ¡°Hmm, let me think a bit.¡± Char took half a step forward and said in a low voice, ¡± How about 28 gold and 5 silver? After all, it¡¯s a memorable number for you.¡± Simon¡¯s expression froze, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his head. ¡°What? What do you mean? It¡¯s too low!¡± ¡°It¡¯s low, but it¡¯s enough to change the fate of two people¡­ ¡± Char laughed. ¡°It¡¯s not cheap, Mr. Simon.¡± The lawyer¡¯s expression changed dramatically, and he made a decision in a few seconds. ¡°I¡¯ll go and write the contract. You wait here.¡± He turned around and left. ¡°What¡¯s the story about 28 gold and 5 silver?¡± The Dark Elf asked Char. || ¡°Beg me. I¡¯ll tell you if you beg me. Evelyn hated him for his cheap look, but she could not hold back her curiosity. She lowered her voice and said coquettishly, ¡°Char, please tell me!¡± ¡°Simon was poor when he was young,¡± Char said. ¡°he worked at the Stonemason Association and stole a sum of money from his co-workers to pay for his tuition fees.¡± ¡°He stole 28 gold and 5 silver? He shouldn¡¯t be so scared¡­¡± ¡°He stole from Burwell. ¡°What?¡± The Dark Elf was stunned for a few seconds. ¡°You mean the famous Burwell, right?¡± || ¡°The one in Astan City, Burwell. He was thirty-five years old that year, and it took him ten years to save up 28 gold and 5 silver. He was planning to go back to his hometown to buy a piece of land and get married, but Simon stole it. Although this incident changed the trajectory of his life and indirectly prompted him to become a Consul. However, if he knew the truth of what happened back then¡­¡± Evelyn nodded in agreement. ¡°What about the last person? I think he¡¯s afraid of you too¡­¡± ¡°He¡­¡± Char glanced at Ghani, who had an unnatural expression, and chuckled. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this later. Rylai, come over and let me see your skill list.¡± Chapter 39 - Ive picked up a treasure. Chapter 39. I¡¯ve picked up a treasure. Rylai was very well-behaved. He did not know what had happened, why the man who had been so fierce to him had suddenly run out nervously, and why even the boss of the workshop looked so scared¡­ However, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace, as if she suddenly had someone to rely on. It was just like when she was a child when she was bullied to the point of tears, and her mother suddenly rushed over to hug her. However, Char was a man, and he was different from her mother. Her mother would help her wipe her tears and comfort her. Char only touched her head and told her to cry hard. Once her tears dried up, she would not be able to cry anymore. It was a terrible comforting technique, but it was very effective. ¡°Come over here for a moment and let me check your skill list.¡± ¡®Uhm, is he calling me?¡¯ Rylai was stunned for a second and immediately ran over. The brown-skinned woman with big breasts and long ears was still staring at her as if she was trying to find a flower on her face. Was she Char¡¯s companion? Even though she was confused, she did not forget to show Char the skill list. ¡°You are¡­¡± Char¡¯s expression gradually turned dull, as if he had discovered a new continent. What did he just see? An all-rounder profession player? Did she not save the injured for a day and a night? Level 3 Sewing, Tanning, Tailoring, Cutting, Gardening, Planting, Cooking, and Alchemy? Did she have 240 hours a day? Char had once thought that this person was someone like him who had overturned the game, or that he had transmigrated from the future and had mastered a set of methods to increase her skill proficiency! Was she a human? How could she learn so many things? ¡°Char?¡± Rylai waved her hands nervously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? Is my account useless? Can I even pay back the money?¡± Char suddenly grabbed her wrist, and Rylai shrieked. ¡°What¡¯s with your skill list?¡± ¡°I¡­ I practiced it¡­ It¡¯s not difficult¡­ Did I do something wrong?¡± ¡°No. Tell me how you did it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just follow the NPC¡¯s tutorial once. Once I master it, I¡¯ll be at level 2 with full experience. I¡¯m best at taking care of patients, so once I master it, I¡¯ll be at level 4.¡± Char was dumbfounded. Just by following the NPC¡¯s tutorial once, he would be able to gain full experience at level 2¡­ It sounded like she knew all of this in reality. He could still understand gardening, tailoring, cooking, and planting¡­ Even Tanning and Alchemy were also brought into the game. Was she a witch from the middle ages? ¡°Do you also¡­ Do alchemy in real life?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve done a chemistry experiment! There¡¯s no difference!¡± ¡°What about tanning?¡± ¡°I have a friend whose family makes bags. They opened a retro studio, and I¡¯ve experienced it for a while¡­¡± ¡°So gardening, tailoring¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re interesting, aren¡¯t they? ¡°That¡¯s why I hired a teacher to teach me!¡± Char was speechless. No, it was not interesting at all! To learn whatever she wanted to learn, with interest rather than being able to make a living as her number one requirement¡­ She must be from a rich family, right? Char could not rule out this possibility. He threw these realistic things to the back of his mind and focused on the topic that Evelyn could understand. ¡°You¡¯re a genius, Rylai.¡± ¡°Thank you for the compliment! Hehe¡­¡± ¡°Do you want to become stronger?¡± ¡°Uh?¡± ¡°You can casually create a divine weapon, and then the players will fight to kneel and lick your boots.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± It did not work? ¡°You can make the most beautiful clothes and wear whatever you want. Those women will be so jealous!¡± ¡°I want! I really want to!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Char smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll buy this workshop. You can continue to practice your skills here. I¡¯ll pay for the materials. Not a problem.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already helped me a lot!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just helping you out of convenience. This is my original plan. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll also ask you for help.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Rylai patted her chest. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± ¡°Focus on leveling up and pay more attention to the suffix of your armor. Just use the ¡®Camouflage¡¯ suffix for your armor.¡± Char said worriedly, ¡°I mean, if there¡¯s a suffix, you need to keep it.¡± ¡°Camouflage¡­ Alright, I¡¯ll remember it!¡± She said. Rylai took out a small notebook and wrote it down. Although the topic had returned to the game, it was a topic of creation, so neither Ghani nor Evelyn could understand. The latter only felt that Char had suddenly heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. The former, on the other hand, was a little unhappy after standing there for so long. ¡°Hey, how long are you guys going to stay in my shop? Even if Simon wants to transfer his shares to you, he won¡¯t be doing it now, right?¡± Char glanced at him, then looked behind him. After he showed a little curiosity, Ghani had been blocking the drawer. ¡°Evelyn¡­¡± Char said in a flirting tone. ¡°Don¡¯t be so disgusting.¡± Evelyn rolled her eyes at him. She understood Char¡¯s meaning and moved like a ghost, arriving in front of the drawer in the blink of an eye. ¡°Left side, third from the bottom up. Thank you.¡± The Dark Elf pulled the drawer open, but after taking a glance, she closed it immediately. She pouted and glared at Char. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± ¡°How could you guys go through other people¡¯s things without asking for permission?¡± Only then did Ghani nervously block the drawer. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, like something bad had been found out by his parents ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no one will know, and I won¡¯t say anything.¡± Char consoled him, even though he did not seem to be sincere. ¡°What¡¯s that¡­¡± Rylai looked around curiously. ¡°Don¡¯t ask.¡± Evelyn pressed her head back down, then caressed Char¡¯s back and whispered into his ear, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ask¡± Char patted her hand. A few minutes later, Simon ran over, panting. He transferred 15% of his shares to Char for free and did not collect any money. It was also a coincidence that Char knew about this secret. It was split into two, and half came from a level 60 quest. Burwell had died in battle, and he recalled this matter before he died. The Light Elves could read people¡¯s memories before they died, so some NPCs had extracted this story. The other half was Simon¡¯s self-narration before he died. It was also a level 50 or so quest. When the two were combined, there was a story. If he threatened Simon with a story that would be of little value in the later stages, he could even get his house in the city center, let alone 15% of the shares. However, Simon was a venomous snake. The more he asked for, the more he would want. This small gain was not enough to arouse his strong hostility. At most, Simon would investigate Char. Let him be. The words of God¡¯s Chosen One were enough. Even though he had too few shares, he had no right to ask about things like upgrading the business or changing the type of business. He could not even change the name of the workshop, but he could assign tasks directly. This time, he did not need to threaten Ghani. He could directly hire players or NPCs to engage in production. Rylai would stay here and complete her daily tasks, which would give her experience and money. Char threw in 200 gold coins to the module, and the material procurement for the Reeves¡¯ Workshop would operate on its own, so he did not have to worry about it. ¡°Alright, good luck.¡± Rylai nodded. ¡°Thank you! I will repay you!¡± Chapter 40 - You Are a Free Bird Chapter 40. You Are a Free Bird Walking out of the workshop, Char thought about how to turn the shop into an all-around logistics headquarters and suddenly felt like he was playing a game. Investment, yield, items, currency. Stronger equipment and stronger monsters. From using a wooden sword to cut crayfish, to using a legendary holy sword that was fully enchanted to cut an ultimate invincible crayfish. He suddenly felt like he was playing a game. It turned out¡­ This was the game. He was a little enlightened but also a little lost. Char was still in a daze when Evelyn suddenly appeared in front of him, and the two of them almost collided. ¡°What¡¯s in the drawer?¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s words pulled Char back from his game. He saw the delicate face in front of him. She had long eyelashes and purple eyes. Quick-witted and curious eyes. Also, her lips looked very soft, moist, and full. The beautiful shape of her lips also showed her stubbornness and determination. Then¡­ What was this? If those were games, then what was this? Char suddenly moved closer and kissed her lips. It was like biting a warm pudding. It was soft to the touch, and the smooth and tender elasticity was transmitted back to his brain. It was even more real than a game. It was like real life. Evelyn was suddenly attacked and quickly pushed him away. When she met Char¡¯s eyes, she was stunned. His eyes were like the mouth of a fresh spring, overflowing with love and satisfaction. The complaints that should have been blurted out disappeared. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I couldn¡¯t help it, ha¡­¡± Char smiled apologetically and was about to avoid her anger, but she was suddenly hugged by Evelyn and kissed. This time, it was Char who was caught off guard. He had miscalculated for the first time. He was ready to pay for his impulsiveness. However, not only was she not angry, but she also responded to him more enthusiastically, which made him a little uncomfortable. Before Char could react, Evelyn pushed him away. The Dark Elf wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. ¡°We¡¯re even.¡± She turned around and walked away with light steps. For the Costume Festival, Char had prepared a dancer outfit for the Dark Elves. There were thin copper rings around their waists, arms, and necks. They jingled as they walked, like a light skylark. When Evelyn turned around and urged, ¡°Hurry up and catch up!¡± Then, she jumped into the noisy crowd. Char laughed and quickly followed. ¡°What¡¯s with the stuff in the drawer? I think it looks like a rope with a knot¡­¡± Evelyn asked curiously as she looked around. On both sides of the noisy crowd were peddlers in the market, filled with useless but novel trinkets for the Dark Elves. She had never seen such a lively scene since she came out of Andaheim. She caught a glimpse of a wide-eared fox dancer selling underwear and suddenly remembered the one she had seen in the drawer. ¡°Look! Look! That thing over there is exactly the same as the rope!¡± ¡°It¡¯s called a thong,¡± Char explained. ¡°Thong¡­?¡± ¡°Yes, thong.¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s face reddened instantly. Fortunately, her skin color was dark, so it was not easy to tell. ¡°Why would a cobbler have such a thing? Can men also wear it¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s for women. He stole it.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Half a month ago, Ghani changed Mrs. Jolent¡¯s sofa into a real leather one and stole a thong while she was not paying attention. He thought it was Mrs. Jolent¡¯s, and he¡¯s been in sniffing it for half a month.¡± ¡°That¡¯s actually¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s Felix¡¯s.¡± Evelyn turned around in surprise. ¡°Felix? What?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand, that damn fatty isn¡¯t into cross-dressing. He just bought it for Mrs. || Jolent, but she didn¡¯t like it. ¡°Then why is he still keeping it?¡± ¡°She said that she likes to see other people wear it. For example, what you said about men wearing it. This is one of Felix¡¯s few ¡®positive¡¯ materials, so I won¡¯t use it to defame him. Ghani would never have thought that he would hold a man¡¯s thong for half a month.¡± Char laughed. ¡°I¡¯ve never thought that I¡¯d be able to do it.¡¯ The elf chuckled as well. Her gaze lingered on the rack of undergarments in front of her for a few seconds before she suddenly raised her hand. ¡°Char, I want to buy that one!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Char was so shocked that he stopped. ¡°You don¡¯t f*cking want me to wear it, do you?¡± ¡°Ah! What if I want to wear it?¡± The Dark Elf¡¯s eyes were like silk, and her breath was as hot as fire. Char stood up in shock. He already had a model of her naked body in his mind, if he added these¡­ ¡°Just buy it for me¡­¡± ¡°Of course, let¡¯s buy one for you!¡± ¡­ The evening lights were on and the city was bustling with people. Char was dragged along by Evelyn from dusk to midnight. They walked around the city and bought a lot of things. The Dark Elf had never been so free and unrestrained before. Like a chirping bird, she asked from the beginning to the end. Char did not hide anything either. He could pull all the erudite scholars together and answer fluently, giving all he knew without reserve. No matter what he said, she would listen carefully. Her eyes were shining with satisfaction and tranquility as if the past hardships had not left any trace on her. The two of them did not notice the passage of time until late at night. They returned to the hotel hand in hand. As she passed by a dark alley, she stopped. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Char was just wondering why she had stopped and was suddenly pushed into the room by the Dark Elf, against the wall. Burning breath hit him in the face, and his movements seemed clumsy and rough. After a brief moment of shock, Char held her butt with both hands and guided her gently, allowing her to vent her desire relentlessly. After a long time, their lips separated. ¡°If you want it now, I can give it to you.¡± In the darkness, a pair of purple eyes glowed faintly. He was clearly looking up at Char, but he had the illusion that she was looking down at him. Char shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not time yet.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t give you a second chance.¡± Char smiled confidently and did not comment. ¡°I¡¯m serious. You really don¡¯t regret it?¡± Char pouted. At this moment, rustling sounds came from the other end of the alley. He turned his head and saw a few figures under the street lights. Tsk, here comes the blind one. It was a group of drunkards, like sharks that had smelled blood, pushing and shoving each other in. In the dark alley, the Dark Elf¡¯s body scent when she desired to have sex was like the most deadly poison. They did not expect this. From the moment Rylai appeared, everything that had happened during the Costume Festival had gone out of his control. However, he did not want to control it. Thanks to this, he was able to see a whole new side of her. She was not a cold code, not a program, but a living person that could not be fathomed even after hundreds of reincarnations. This was human nature¡­ ¡°Evelyn,¡± Char said. ¡°Disgusting.¡± Char laughed and ignored her complaints, insisting,¡± ¡°Do you see those people approaching? With your level 14 spells, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to prepare [Mana Thrust] and [Sulfur Bomb], right?¡± Evelyn frowned. ¡°This is Astan City. Are you sure you want me || to use my spells? ¡°Remember, Evelyn, you¡¯re free. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡± Char laughed and released a pool of grease, which instantly splashed all over the drunkards. The Dark Elf understood tacitly. She raised her hand and released spikes and flames. In an instant, the flames that soared to the sky illuminated the alley.
