The worldview of "Simulated Hero" is unprecedentedly dangerous.
This is the era where, after years of turmoil, the Esoteric Practitioners once again proclaim their arrival to the world.
Maze warfare.
Demigod conflicts.
Angel descent.
...
Even in the end, the Sequence One Filthy Moon Demon King began to contaminate the earth.
Against such a background, the lives of mortals are like dust in the air, insignificant.
He absolutely refuses to accept such a risk.
Rephya must live well.
He needs to make full use of everything, arm himself to the teeth.
If Fufu had agreed, he would feel guilty instead.
Just like an online novel writer, before his alias is exposed to relatives, he can unleash his creativity.
But once the alias is exposed, dancing with shackles on makes it hard to let go.
——After all, he doesn't want to die socially.
The simulation is the same, having a lover makes tricky maneuvers difficult.
Fufu helped him solve future worries.
Next, he can immerse himself in the simulation with a more relaxed mindset.
First, set a small goal.
Climb back to Sequence Six before graduation.
"But Sister Fufu, about our relationship..."
Fufu stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss, saying:
"See you tomorrow, I have prepared a gift for you."
She reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Chloe had a smile at the corner of her mouth.
It meant that though they didn't have the title of boyfriend and girlfriend, they could still do what needed to be done, right?
…Afterwards…
The two acted separately.
Fufu went back first to deal with the members of the Association.
While he, still feeling the heat, went to the restaurant hall to cool down.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Fratiss sitting on the sofa.
Crunch crunch.
The head of a teddy bear cookie was bitten off.
She was still munching.
Chloe glanced sympathetically at the Little Gourmet Knight.
"Junior, you're eating again."
Fratiss's chewing paused; the little cookie almost fell on her knee.
"I, I, I..."
Chloe took out a bottle of Ceylon Milk Tea from the space backpack:
"Drink up, just eating cookies will make your mouth dry."
"Thank you, Chloe the God, for the Ceylon Milk Tea."
She took it with a tense face.
Unscrewed the cap.
Glug glug glug~
The cute little eyes lit up: "This goes well with cookies, it's delicious!"
"Hahaha, I've seen you sneaking away to eat twice tonight, just saying, I'm not stalking, just a coincidence."
Fratiss nodded and said:
"If Senior isn't interested in Rephya, then I surely am not good enough."
She thought Rephya was much cuter than herself.
"It must be tough, to bear the cost of such a talent."
"The mentor said, the rule of 'whatever is gained, something is lost' applies to awakened talents, it's what I should bear."
Chloe sat opposite the girl and said:
"I remember ancient books say that in the era before the King of Redemption, there was no talk of awakened talents, right?"
Fratiss nodded while munching on cookies.
Back then, even the profession system was incomplete.
Extraordinaries would immediately choose a new profession to expand their limits whenever they had fully explored the potential of an extraordinary profession.
However, because the link between professions was weak, it was more than ten times harder for an Extraordinary to embark on the Path to Divinity than in this era.
Until the systematic godhood paths appeared, igniting Sequence conflicts, the situation improved.
The awakened talent emerged only after the 'paths' spread across the continent.
It is said that the True God's equivalent scales followed the wishes of the King of Redemption, traded with the world, and sowed seeds for all beings.
Even ants can reach the sky, and mortals can counterattack.
This is the origin of extraordinary talents.
But gain always entails loss.
Having gained a talent, one must bear the corresponding cost.
Every talent has side effects.
"Senior, what's your side effect?"
Chloe shrugged and said: "I lost the mental shield against abnormal contamination."
The near-perfect physical recovery stripped his mental self-protection.
This made him unable to perceive the danger when facing the Desire Mother Tree.
And this is the root of why he became a perfect containment vessel.
A body that doesn't resist divine possession is naturally used as a hot weapon by the gods.
Comparatively, Fratiss's side effect is much smaller.
As an SR given at login, the planner at least didn't angrily abandon her right in the first chapter.
SR rank is not necessarily weaker than SSR.
Because the SR limit only depends on talent level, not the number of talents.
Fratiss is precisely so.
"I remember your talent is Blood-Dripping Spear and Dimensional Stomach, right?" Chloe mused, "Does liking to eat so much have something to do with the side effects of these two talents?"
Fratiss hesitated for a moment, before being tricked by Chloe's face.
She said, "Yes, the cost of these two talents makes it impossible to fill my stomach, so, Senior, please don't spread it around."
"Isn't that cost nothing to be ashamed of?"
"But a girl eating so much is embarrassing."
"Isn't a constitution that doesn't get fat something they should envy?" Chloe said, somewhat surprised.
Upon hearing this, the Little Gourmet showed a trace of a smile and said:
"Senior really knows how to comfort people."
"It's from the heart, okay."
Honestly, the Little Gourmet being called the Gemini of the Warrior Series is well-deserved.
Two SR talents, perfectly complementary, tanky to a frightening degree
Blood-Dripping Spear (SR): When you kill an enemy unit, according to the opponent's sequence number, recover some life energy and extraordinary power.
Dimensional Stomach (SR): The materials produced by demons you kill, when consumed, grant you dimensional coating. Each layer of coating gives you a maximum life energy boost and extra magic penetration damage.
If not facing the same or lower Sequence, the Little Gourmet can get at most 6 layers of coating, she might even beg her enemies not to die after a sword and shield attack.
But then...
This coating has little limit on the number for high Sequence.
How many enemies above the current level can a troublemaking hero provoke?
And how much extra coating can Fratiss gain from it?
It can only be said that she is the chosen companion of heroes.
Though something seemed to have happened to her before, the response was somewhat strange when mentioning the Little Gourmet in the Association.
The reaction of the Beauty President was especially evident.
"Senior, I still have things to do, so I have to head back first."
"Okay."
Fratiss carefully packed the cookies in a paper bag and took them away.
Chloe watched her leaving figure, frowning slightly.
He turned around to say a brief hello to Senior Sister and then leave.
Turning the corner, he saw Rephya lurking there, her arms poised to pounce.
She intended to startle Chloe, but didn't expect him to walk too fast.
Before the girl's expression turned awkward, Chloe took a step back, retreated out of the corner, and then walked back in again.
"Rua!"
The Heroic Maiden pounced.
"Wow, you startled me."
"Darn, wasn't that completely unstunned?"
But Rephya's mouth twisted upwards involuntarily.
Chloe helplessly asked, "Why did you come out?"
"Came out for some air, then saw you seem to be interested in Fratiss." she obediently said, "But she seems to have clashed with the President recently, you should be careful not to get involved."
Chloe suddenly realized.
It seems that Fantasy Show indeed caused some issues.
Rephya hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice:
"Is Senior free tomorrow for the Lantern Festival?"
"I am."
Rephya snorted gently.
As expected.
Is this bad guy about to start again?
She could only mourn in her heart.
Hope Senior Sister Fufu will be okay.
And Chloe set the main theme for the chaos at the Lantern Festival tomorrow.
Who's responsible, who to kill, how many to kill
I don't know where this is, who I am, I just know I want to go on a killing spree.jpg
