Arriving at the ramen shop next door, Belle and Victor found a seat and settled in casually.
"General Chop, give me a bowl of green pepper and pork noodles! How about you, Victor?"
Victor glanced at the menu. "Give me a bowl of seafood noodles, please."
"Okay! One bowl of green pepper pork noodles and one bowl of seafood noodles! Please wait..." General Chop paused mid-sentence as he looked up from his preparations. "Hey? It's Belle. I was wondering why this voice sounded so familiar."
The chef showed a hint of surprise when he recognized his customer.
"You and your brother haven't come to eat ramen here for more than half a month. I thought you were both away on business."
Belle and her brother Wise were loyal customers of his establishment and used to come here almost every day.
Belle touched the back of her head and smiled awkwardly. "No, we've been at the store these days, but we've been too busy, so we rarely come here anymore."
The truth was that Kiana and Lumine had been sending food to everyone in the group daily, so she and her brother rarely went out to eat during this period.
She had to admit, Lumine's culinary skills were truly exceptional!
After eating the delicious food prepared by those two, she had little appetite for anything else.
Of course, she still thought the ramen made by General Chop was excellent!
"Is that so?"
General Chop didn't think much about it when he heard this explanation. He genuinely believed that Belle and Wise had simply been busy lately.
"By the way, is this guy your boyfriend?"
At that moment, General Chop's eyes turned to Victor, who was sitting next to Belle.
"No, he's not!"
Belle quickly shook her head in denial, but a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Victor also nodded and said seriously, "Yes, we're just ordinary friends."
Although what he said was true, for some reason, after hearing Victor's matter-of-fact answer, Belle felt inexplicably disappointed.
"But... this is only temporary. Sooner or later, I'll make Belle my girlfriend, no, my wife!"
Victor suddenly changed his tone and said with a confident smile.
Belle was startled, her heart beginning to race like a frightened deer, and her already flushed face became even redder.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who wants to be your wife?" Belle raised her small fist and lightly hit Victor's chest in protest.
Her punch was as soft as cotton candy and completely harmless.
General Chop, who was watching from behind the counter, smiled knowingly at this display. "Hahaha, it's wonderful to be young."
When Victor returned home, it was already midnight.
"System, open the character panel."
As soon as Victor finished speaking, a virtual panel materialized before him.
[Host: Victor]Abilities: 100% Barehanded Blade Catch, Are You Here to Take a Dump?, Fatal Chicken Strike, Chrysanthemum Wither... Abstract Points: 157,500
In just half a day, his Abstract Points had increased from 6,000 to over 150,000.
From this, it wasn't difficult to guess how many Ethereals had suffered this time.
The diameter of Hollow Zero alone had shrunk by nearly a hundred meters!
This development had shocked the Hollow Investigation Association.
Of course, these matters had nothing to do with Victor anymore.
At this moment, he was considering whether to spend 100,000 Abstract Points on a lottery draw or upgrade his abilities.
It just so happened that he still had one abstract ability that hadn't been enhanced yet.
After thinking for a long time, he made his decision.
Let's go with the lottery.
After all, there was no need to rush upgrading the remaining abstract ability.
With this thought, Victor no longer hesitated. "System, open the abstract prize pool. I want to draw a prize."
[Ding! Abstract Points have been deducted, lucky draw commencing...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the abstract ability: Eye of Evil Pregnancy!]
[Ability Introduction: Ignoring the difference in strength between parties, activating this ability will make whoever you stare at pregnant! It will also cause one hour of labor pain, and after one hour, a malevolent-looking evil baby that will attempt to kill its host will be born.]
[Note: If the target is male, the evil baby will burst out of the abdomen! If the target is not a biological unit, this ability will be invalid.]
After reading the system's ability introduction, Victor couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
"This ability is somewhat evil."
In the future, unless he encountered someone who had committed heinous crimes, it would be better to use this ability sparingly.
After all, he was here to be abstract, not to lose his sanity.
Immediately afterward, Victor opened the chat group and prepared to upload this ability.
[Victor: Hehehe, please call me the Child-Sender from now on!]
[Kiana: You got it wrong, right? Shouldn't it be the Wealth-Bringer?]
[Belle: Oh, I didn't expect Kiana to know how to correct idioms? It seems Kiana has become smarter recently.]
[Kiana: I'm not stupid, okay!]
[Ding! Victor uploaded Eye of Evil Pregnancy and received 10,000,000 group points!]
[Victor: You can see for yourselves whether I'm sending children or not.]
[Belle: ...]
[Lumine: Good grief, really good grief. You're going further and further down the path of abstraction.]
[Bai Yuekui: How can this be called an abstract ability? This is clearly an evil ability!]
[Rin Tohsaka: Indeed, it's a bit like an evil ability that only appears in horror movies.]
[Shinoa Hiiragi: Mr. Child-Sender, please don't use this ability on us.]
[Lumine: That's right! I'd rather endure the pain of Chrysanthemums Wither than experience the terror of carrying an evil baby.]
[Victor: What are you worrying about? No matter how wicked I am, I would never use my abstract abilities on you.]
[Rin Tohsaka: Uh, what if you want to fatten us up and then suddenly give us an abstract ability combo to get more points from us?]
[Victor: Damn, that's a path I never imagined!]
[Rin Tohsaka: Hey, hey, hey, I was just joking! You're not serious, are you?]
Rin Tohsaka admitted that what she had said was just teasing, but now Victor's response scared her, and she couldn't help but tense up.
[Victor: Ahem, don't worry. I will never use my abstract abilities on you.]
Although he was tempted for a moment, he eventually suppressed the thought.
After all, these were the girls he cared about, and maybe one of them would become his wife in the future!
How could he bear to target them?
However, Rin Tohsaka's words did give him some inspiration.
He could cultivate enemies, allow them to grow stronger, and then defeat them, the Abstract Points gained would increase significantly!
But this plan still needed careful consideration.
[Victor: No more chatting. Going to sleep now. Bye.]
After saying that, Victor went offline.
Then he made his way to Shinobu's room, ready to rest there.
But when he entered the room, he found that Shinobu was sitting cross-legged in a Spirit Gathering Formation, practicing cultivation as large amounts of spiritual energy poured into her body from all directions.
"So you're making a breakthrough. I was wondering why you didn't say anything in the chat group just now."
Seeing this, Victor didn't want to disturb her any further, so he gently closed the door and returned to his own room.
