The red mist of Zhuohe shook, reappearing the scene that Ssutia had experienced.
It was a young man begging him.
"Sister Tia...can you please...please beg for mercy from Master Hui Jin? I will work hard! I will try to do better in the next battle! Please, Master Hui Jin, don't take me away." The contract... don't take back my power... I don't want to become an ordinary person... I don't want to lose everything..."
"I...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 increased later, it became increasingly 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 Sixiutia found that she couldn't do it, because she knew that although Lord Hui Jin doted on her, he would not listen to any of her suggestions.
She could only watch helplessly, her whole body shrouded in a cloak and windbreaker. Rather than saying that his face was expressionless...it should be said that Master Hui Jin, whose face could not be seen at all, walked in, and then withdrew amid Pires's cries. After leaving the contract, he turned around and left without saying a single unnecessary word throughout the whole process.
The scene of turbid and red mist changes again.
This time, the protagonist in the painting became a young girl who was pregnant, and Liao Ji's memory was no longer so vague this time, because he still had a deep impression of this girl.
Sheena.
Why is it called the Huaichun girl? Because it was at night. 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. Let the nun tell her more stories about Master Hui Jin.
"Hey, Sister Tia, what does Master Hui Jin like to eat?"
"Now, Sister Tia, do you think Lord Hui Jin will wear the necklace I gave him?"
"Na na! Sister Tia, tell me what kind of new abilities I will gain after my awakening... after I advance to the "danger level", I'm really looking forward to it..."
"Hey, Sister Tia, you said that if I... I confess my love to Lord Hui Jin at the promotion ceremony tomorrow, can it be okay?"
Yes.
Xina, with an initial three-star rating, a profession in the supernatural system, and a very good skill set. At least for Liao Ji, who was still in the early stages at the time, Liao Ji had high hopes for her and gave Xina all the precious [Essence of Evil]. Rising star takes her one step further.
This night is obviously the eve of promotion for the characters in the game.
However...
Soon the scene of Zhuoe's red mist changed.
Xina, whose face was still flushed last night, was dreaming about the future, dreaming about becoming Master Hui Jin's right-hand man, dreaming about being able to be loved by Master Hui Jin like Ssutia, but at this moment...
Sitting on his knees on the ground, his face was as dull as ashes, and his eyes had lost all their sparkle.
really...
Liao Ji sighed.
The reason why he is still impressed by Sheena is because he clearly remembers that this [superpower] character for whom he had high hopes awakened an extremely 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, get out! 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.
Thinking about it now, at that time, I kept complaining that the outside world was dark and malicious, but in reality... wasn't it the same for myself? I just vented all these negative emotions in the game.
Even though...this is probably 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 Hui Jin... why is it not Tia who has the contract taken away... why not You ah ah ah!”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah!"
Hina scolded Scutia and scolded the nuns for their hypocrisy. Scutia became the outlet for the girl who was in a state of collapse. However, Scutia did not fight back. She just suffered silently... at least these malicious intentions It was transferred to her body instead of Master Hui Jin.
There are many, many more pictures like this.
This is a microcosm of those "contractors" under Liao Ji, except for those five, and the rest...the microcosm 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-stars, four-stars... 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 Scutia's perspective and the perspective of the characters in the game, Liao Ji finally understood the reason why the nun went crazy. Because she messed up the Holy Kingdom, the nun was afraid... and even afraid of being abandoned by him. The reason, no matter how hard he tried to explain it, was useless.
Because indeed...
In the eyes of the characters in the game, as "Master Hui Jin", he is such a person who is supreme in strength, a person who is always expressionless and shows no mercy.
And even Ssiutia 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 game is no longer a development game.
Is a...
Horror game.
