Chino is a typical "short sleeper". The average person needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night to maintain energy, but he only needs 3 hours.

But this night, he didn't even get 3 hours of sleep. He just lit a candle and sat in front of the window, reading a book and waiting.

He is counting the days of this world.

In the Rejector's Mark, the countdown slowly passes, beating at a constant frequency.

That night it dawned again and the sun reached the same position. He calculated the countdown difference between now and yesterday, and found that the single-day time in this world was the same as in the previous life, which was also 24 hours, with almost no deviation.

After completing the calculation, he entered the triple shackles realm and took a look.

【Respect:32】

【Fear:525】

【Awe:0】

Click on the details and you can also see the source of these values:

【Respect from Paladin Jones:12】

[Fear from Paladin Jones:23]

【Fear from Steven Williams:96】

[Fear from Jack Milo:57]

...

The flow of information gathered in Kino's mind, and he obtained the following three pieces of information from these values:

1. The method of obtaining the value of the Triple Shackles is to harvest the emotions of the people around you. As long as the other party's corresponding emotions are aroused, the value will increase.

Second, the value only depends on the other person's emotional state at the time. If you accept it, you accept it. It has nothing to do with whether the person dies or lives later and will not be deducted.

Three, respect, fear, and awe are three independent values ​​that cannot be superimposed or split.

Regarding the third point, just look at Paladin's mood. He has 12 points of respect and 14 points of fear at the same time, but the awe is 0.

This means that in numerical calculations, the former two cannot add up to the latter.

Chino clicked on the exchange interface, and it was pretty much what he expected. The mark of the rejecter was both a limitation and an expansion.

As a rejecter, I cannot evolve through conventional reincarnation methods, but I can make use of the harvested emotional values.

Respect points can be used to exchange coins, materials, medicines, weapons and other "foreign items".

The fear value can "intrinsically strengthen" one's own genes.

Kino also noticed that the Rejector's brand gave him a hint:

[Depending on the individual, the upper limit of emotions varies, but they all have a limit on the total value]

This also means that when harvesting emotions from each individual, the host needs to control the balance.

For example, if a person's emotional limit is 100, then you have to think carefully. If you do evil to him today in order to strengthen his genes and harvest 90 of his fear value, he will only have 10 of his emotional value left to harvest.

Next time you are short of money, even if you do crazy good things to gain his respect, the respect you will get is only 10 at most.

Theoretically speaking, there are so many people in the world, and there are always newborns. As long as we go far enough in time, the harvestable emotional value should be unlimited.

But in reality this is not the case, because it is impossible for a person to live forever.

Kino thought for a moment and looked at "Awe" with a value of 0.

Logically speaking, the external items of respect value and the internal strengthening of fear value, both external and internal, should have covered all the conventional ways to become stronger. What is this fear value used for?

Because the awe value is 0, it is impossible to enter, and Kino doesn't know what is inside.

The emotion represented by awe is not yet clear. Anyway, it is definitely not a situation that makes a person respect and fear at the same time - this situation will evolve into Paladin's situation, which contributes respect and fear values ​​​​separately.

Awe is an independent emotion that has nothing to do with respect or fear.

Kino sorted out the information he had obtained so far in his mind, and then started to exchange it.

The reincarnation team will enter this world in 13 days, and he must prepare in advance.

He respects the system and has both hot and cold weapons, but he has no intention of exchanging hot weapons right away.

First of all, in this feudal era, once you possess hot weapons, you will become very noticeable, which is very detrimental to concealing your identity.

Secondly, thermal weapons are extremely expensive. His favorite PPK cost 1,200 respect points, not counting bullets.

In contrast, the price of cold weapons is much lower. A cold-forged tungsten steel dagger only costs 40 respect points.

Unprocessed raw materials are cheaper.

Obviously, the price of these things is related to the technological content. The higher the degree of processing and the greater the technological content, the more expensive the unit price will be.

The former can be more than ten times, or even dozens of times cheaper than exchanging materials to make a weapon yourself, and exchanging it for a finished weapon - provided you have the production capacity.

Kino doesn't understand the productivity of this world yet, so he doesn't plan to exchange any weapons or materials for the time being.

Besides, with only 32 points of respect, there are no good weapons to redeem.

He first tried to exchange part of his respect points for Doguland's common monthly coins.

The exchange standard for monthly coins is that 1 respect value equals 1 silver month.

Kino tries to invest 2 points of respect.

Two silver moons appeared in the sky and landed on the ground.

At this moment, Kino frowned, realizing that the supreme existence was more terrifying than he imagined.

If the money was handed over to him by someone after being exchanged, then it can be basically concluded that the supreme being should be an entity in this world, such as the financial owner of a large chaebol, or a minister who can mobilize the economy, and sooner or later he can find it out.

But like now, appearing out of thin air in a way that violates basic laws means that it is some kind of unimaginable existence.

"Thank you." Kino believed that the supreme being could hear him, "Remember to pack the bag next time."

Chino picked up the money and put it away, and used the remaining 30 respect points to exchange for a box of amnesia capsules.

[Amnesia Capsule: 24 capsules, after taking it, the memory will be forgotten within 48 hours; low-package, cannot work on the same individual twice; the effect is not superimposed; can be diluted and used, and the duration of forgetting will decrease with dilution; this drug is only for

Effective for those with ordinary genes]

Kino took a small bottle, opened all the memory capsules, poured the powder into it, and then filled it with water.

It will be useful soon.

Immediately afterwards, he entered the fear system.

Compared with the 32 points of respect, the fear value is 525 points, and there are more things that can be redeemed.

There are many types of fear value enhancements, including strengthening basic genes, various bloodlines, training systems, eight extraordinary meridians, extraordinary powers, etc. Basically, they are all things that can be continuously strengthened.

Because the fear value is only 525, the selection range is limited, and currently only the most basic things can be exchanged.

Soon, Kino selected a basic gene called "Wasteland Creature", which requires 500 fear points and can improve resistance to foreign pathogens and strengthen its own immune function.
