[Remaining survival time: 164 days and six hours, life points: 4931 (-6000). 】
[There are still 44 days before the end of the month settlement, and the current expected repayment is 1,000 points. You must keep your account balance positive. 】
Only three days have passed, but Lu Ping'an feels that a lot has changed.
When we left the forest and walked onto the road in the crowded grassland, there were more people coming and going, and the distance between them naturally became closer.
Now that he is safe, he also has time to sort out his balance of payments.
"...I used the life points a bit harshly...Forget it, it's okay. As long as it doesn't exceed a thousand points, it won't affect my lifespan."
Lu Ping'an currently has nearly 5,000 points, which is enough for him to live for twenty years. What really matters is the "debt repayment day" once a month.
A thousand points a month, it's simple and straightforward... That means that as long as Lu Ping'an doesn't use more than a thousand points, it doesn't actually affect the time when he's finished.
On the contrary, he should work hard to spend money to improve his abilities.
The reason why the next repayment date is 44 days instead of 14 days is because Lu Ping An’s “installment payment” ability actually has a hidden weakness.
"When you get 6,000 life points, you only have 5,000 left. All installments will be reduced by one-third or one-sixth as soon as you get them. The loan sharks are not that exorbitant, right?"
But after the initial irritation, Lu Pingan was able to understand this weakness, and was even vaguely grateful.
In fact, this mechanism is to protect road safety.
Otherwise, Lu Ping'an can postpone his injuries and pain indefinitely, becoming an "immortal berserker" with no injuries, no pain, and unlimited physical strength.
That sounds really strong, but once you encounter a strong enemy and accidentally exceed the limit, it becomes a stable suicide technique.
No matter how hard you beat him on the spot, he will definitely die from his injuries when the first installment is paid.
But if this is the case now, as long as you don't die on the spot after the "extension", it means that you can bear the price of subsequent installment payments.
"Tomorrow, your stamina will be deducted once at 10:20, and your life will be deducted once at 12:30. The injury is a bit serious, so you need to prepare bandages and medicine. Also, you can't get injured around 12 o'clock these days..."
Lu Ping'an took out his notes and wrote down these time points. If he was not prepared in advance, he would still be killed.
This is also the reason why he has no need and will not use "installment payment".
"Lending and spending at will will be fatal..."
This is the limitation of his ability, the weakness information that must be hidden.
Even if he had to use his ability, he would use it for a minimum of three days instead of a long delay when the effect was obvious.
Because the time was close, it was easier for him to calculate and control... He didn't want to be killed by a sudden physical failure caused by last month during a certain battle.
Thinking about their plans for tomorrow, Lu Ping'an and Lei Shuiyun were also approaching the end of their trip, the gate to the outside world.
"... After leaving the secret realm, there will often be more pollution, so you should generally be prepared and check the status of your bracelet in advance to avoid overloading. A little overloading is no problem, and red lights are also fine. Design I had thought of this level at the beginning, and there are first aid specialists outside. But if it is a black light, it is best to digest the excess pollution here..."
Lu Ping'an, a newcomer, still listened to Lei Shuiyun's explanation.
He glanced at the bracelet and his expression became a little subtle.
Obviously I haven't encountered any monsters, and I haven't done anything in the novice missions. Why is this light yellow? Doesn't it mean that even the yellow light at level 0 takes two or three days?
Oh, I just killed a dozen professionals, that's fine.
"...If you are lucky, you can sometimes get some inexplicable gains. It is said that these things are feedback from the master of the secret realm to thank the professionals for helping clean up the pollution. But you can't force this thing. If you have rumors, just go out When you keep reciting the harvest you desire silently, there is a certain chance that your wishes will come true..."
Lu Ping'an was a little confused. This sounded familiar.
He flipped the system log to the top and saw what he remembered.
[As the price of completing the secret realm for the first time and accepting the test, Lu Ping'an received an overall evaluation of 'ss'. According to his wish to 'live happily', he received a gift from the Mother Goddess and received a law-level (quasi-god-level) power - life. gifts and feedback. 】
"So, my powers... no, all the powers of the polluter are gifts from the secret realm? Or are they just special powers of the rule system?"
At this time, he was in a calm mood and was about to go home and sleep, but he had some vague expectations for the light yellow space door in front of him.
"Since the ability of the rule system is an analysis of the world, can you give me some surprises in terms of getting feedback from the world?"
Maomao whispered "Get rich, get rich! Give me money" while quickly jumping into the gate. When it was Lu Ping's turn, he didn't bother to say anything and just stepped forward.
"As expected..."
But before he had time to be disappointed, the system's prompt tone came belatedly.
[It is currently being linked to the secret realm, and the rules for the secret realm feedback will be analyzed. The host can wait patiently, or directly cross the portal to receive random feedback. 】
Lu Pingan retracted his half-stepped foot and waited patiently.
He didn't wait long. After more than ten seconds, the "system" of analysis was completed and the choice was handed over to him.
[The first-level secret realm 'Forest of Three Rings' has been completed, and Lu Ping'an's overall evaluation is 'B'. 】
Huh? This evaluation is a bit high. Didn’t you do nothing? Didn't you kill a monster or pick a grass? Have you helped the secret realm owner clean up the pollution?
[Gift from the Master of the Secret Realm (Avatar of the Girl in the Forest): Kill beautifully! Hee, kill more next time! 】
Okay, okay, I really can’t believe the external evaluations. Who said that the Daughter of the Wood hates death and is a benevolent god?
"I hate that people can only die once..."
Lu Ping'an shook his head, no longer believing in the so-called common sense outside.
He set his sights on the next content. That was his gain. The system uncle was actually able to help him bargain with the secret realm!
[Based on the comprehensive evaluation and the attitude of the secret realm master, your secret realm feedback is as follows. Please make your choice within 1 minute, otherwise it will be forcibly randomized by the secret realm master. 】
[A. Give you extra pollution of the physical body (after purification by the daughter of the spirit). 】
[B. Random blessing from the daughter of the forest (below level one). 】
[C. Gives you extra contamination of a certain item. 】
[D. Open the secret store and purchase a specific target (unable to select due to insufficient comprehensive evaluation/authority)]
What should I choose? Lu Ping'an hesitated. In fact, he had always had difficulty choosing.
