Nutrition (Part 2)

The red mist of Zhuohe shook, reappearing the scene that Sshutiya had experienced.

That was a young man begging him.

"Sister Tia, can you please? Please beg for mercy from Lord Ashes? I will work hard! I will try to do better in the next battle! Please Lord Ashes, please don't take away my contract. Don't take it back.

My power, I don’t want to become an ordinary person, I don’t want to lose everything.”

"I want to continue fighting with everyone!!"

Looking at the boy in the red mist scene and this character model, a memory that had been forgotten in the corner of Liao Ji's mind was finally brought to life.

He recognized that this boy was Pires, who was the first in the list of names that Scutia had just read. He was a [Guard] professional doomedizer that he contracted during the early stage of land reclamation.

Pires's star rating is very low, only two stars, and his skill set is also very poor. However, the reason why he was able to contract Liao Ji and take him under his command is because Pires has a very powerful talent.

[Efficiency of obtaining experience points +15%]

This means that Liao Ji can use fewer resources in the early stage to create a fully-leveled two-star "regular" character.

However, as the difficulty increases later, it becomes more and more difficult for normal-level characters, not to mention the extremely "volume" [Guard] profession, and Pires was quickly eliminated.

And Liao Ji used the [Reset] ability to recover the resources that had been invested in Pires.

Liao Ji, who was in the game at the time, didn't think there was anything wrong and didn't even hesitate. After all, this was considered a routine operation for many players, especially in the early stages when resources were extremely tight.

But at this moment, Liao Ji, through the picture shown to him by Sxiutia, the young man fell silent.

He saw Pires crying bitterly, he saw Pires' eyes eager to continue fighting, he saw Pires begging bitterly, even kneeling down to Scutia, begging the nun to say something good in front of him.

Only then did Liao Ji realize that for him, it was just a virtual game, but for the characters in the game, his casual operation might determine the other person's life.

And [Reset] is tantamount to a death sentence for that wasteland era where monsters are everywhere and dangers are everywhere, and life comes to an end.

The little nun in the picture, Scutia, wants to comfort Pires and say some words of encouragement to Pires.

But Sshutia found that she couldn't do it, because she knew that although Lord Ashes doted on her, Lord Ashes would not listen to any of her suggestions.

She could only watch helplessly, covered in a cloak and windbreaker, Lord Ashes, whose face was not so expressionless as to be invisible at all, walked in, and then took away the contract amidst Pire's cries.

He turned around and left without saying a single unnecessary word throughout the whole process.

The scene of turbulent red mist changes again.

This time, the protagonist in the painting became a young girl in love with her. This time, Liao Ji's memory was no longer so fuzzy, because he still had a deep impression of this girl.

Sheena.

Why is it called the Huaichun girl? Because it was at night, and the girl and Sxiutia were sleeping under the same wooden house. Unfortunately, no matter how dark the night was, the girl could not feel sleepy. Hina was pestering Sxiutia.

Ask the nun to tell her more about Lord Ashes.

"Hey, sister Tia, what does Lord Ashes like to eat?"

"Now, Sister Tia, do you think Lord Ashes will wear the necklace I gave him?"

"Na na! Sister Tia, tell me about my awakening. What new abilities will I gain after I advance to the "danger level"? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Hey, Sister Tia, tell me. I will be at the promotion ceremony tomorrow. If I confess my love to Lord Ashes, can it be okay?"

Yes.

Xina, with an initial three-star status, a profession in the supernatural system, and a very good skill set. At least for Liao Ji, who was still in the early stage at that time, Liao Ji had high hopes for her and gave Xina all the precious [Essence of Evil]

Raise the star and let her go further.

This night is obviously the eve of promotion for the characters in the game.

However.

Soon the scene of Zhuohe red mist changed.

Xina, whose face was flushed last night, was dreaming about the future, dreaming about becoming Lord Ashes' right-hand man, dreaming about being loved by Lord Ashes like Sshutia, but at this moment...

He was sitting on his knees on the ground, his face was as dull as death, and his eyes had lost all their sparkle.

really

Liao Ji sighed.

The reason why he was still impressed by Sheena was because he clearly remembered that this [superpower] character for whom he had high hopes awakened an incomparable useless piece of garbage after being promoted to the "danger level"

Skill.

It is visible to the naked eye that any further cultivation will only waste resources and the future will be bleak.

This made him so angry that he directly used the [Reset] power on Xina on the spot.

Liao Ji still remembers his complaints in front of the screen.

"That's it? I'm convinced! This stupid*-the game warehouse inspection makes people's mentality, right! Get out of here, get out of here! Spit out all the resources and go to the sewers to eat ashes! Bastard!"

At that time, I was like this. I was still a gloomy and dead person who stayed at home.

Now think about it, at that time, I kept complaining that the outside world was dark and malicious, but in reality, wasn't it the same? I just vented all these negative emotions in the game.

Even if this is one of the original purposes for which "games" were invented.

Seeing Scutia in the red mist scene, the kind-hearted nun couldn't bear to see Xina fall from heaven to hell in just one day, turning into a completely "broken" girl.

She also tried to comfort her, but this time Scutia received a more cruel dialogue than the little boy in the previous scene.

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

"Yes. Why. Why is only Sister Tia so talented? Why is only Sister Tia able to be favored by Lord Ashes? Why is it not Tia who has the contract taken away? Why isn't it you?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah!"

Hina scolded Ssutia and scolded the nun for her hypocrisy. Ssutia became the outlet for the girl who was in a state of collapse. Ssutia did not fight back. She just suffered in silence. At least the malice was transferred to her.

On his body, not Lord Ashes.

There are many, many more pictures like this.

This is a microcosm of the other "contractors" under Liao Ji, except for those five, and the microcosm of the rest of those who were eliminated.

Liao Ji's principle and philosophy is to concentrate all resources. He does not seek breadth, only refinement. All other three-star, four-star, and even five-star contract evildoers are just nutrients.

It was his nourishment to cultivate those five top outstanding "six-star" evildoers.

The turbulent red mist finally slowly dissipated, and no more images emerged.

Through the perspective of Scutia and the perspective of the characters in the game, Liao Ji finally understood the reason why the nun went crazy. The reason why the nuns were afraid of her because she messed up the Holy Kingdom. She was even afraid of being abandoned by him.

No matter how hard he tried to explain, it was useless.

Because it is true

In the eyes of the characters in the game, as "Lord Ashes", he is such a person with supreme strength, a person who is always expressionless and shows no mercy.

And even Sxiutia became like this under the high pressure, and Liao Ji couldn't imagine the remaining four.

It wasn't until here that Liao Ji finally understood.

The second week program is no longer a development game.

is one.

Horror game.
