Ji Xing thought about many possibilities, but he never expected that Ai would run away when he saw him.
The family doesn’t want it anymore, just make a wish and run away.
There's no way to chase them, I don't know where they moved to in an instant.
After the threat of "You don't want me to drain all the Sanyuan water" was ineffective, Ji Xing could only shake his head helplessly and actually took out the bucket to fill the water.
The Qi of thought turns into substance and is released, without reaching out to touch it. The Sanyuan Water is like a river in the sky, being rolled into three empty buckets and quickly filled.
It was returned to the inventory. Ji Xing didn't really make time for it, not to mention that in the Tower of Mystery, if he had time, he might finish it the next day. It was enough to leave some time for self-research, and it couldn't be a wasted trip.
"You are so timid. It seems that there is not much hope of catching one with your own hands. Fortunately, the girl Kiriko Asakura still has one in her body."
I have to talk to it nicely.
…
On the other hand, this strategy group meeting can be said to be very lively.
After initially feeling surprised and regretful about Kiriko’s encounter, the mysterious coquettish wish-making monster, and the death of Fujino Kazuki, during the discussion, I don’t know who made the first suggestion - what if the wish was smaller?
Yes, Fujino Kazuchi had truly improved before his death, but perhaps his desire to become the strongest among players was too general, which led to him being overwhelmed. The amazing wishing energy of the wishing monster was also perceived by many people. However, its power in fulfilling wishes is absolutely beyond imagination.
What if we could make use of it and make a conditional wish to ‘increase our strength by one level’?
What about the future potential of overdrafts? In the current situation, there are many people who are willing to trade the future for the present and quickly reach the limit of their talents.
Yougu immediately said that he could select a volunteer from the army to try. If it was really feasible, everyone in the strategy team would have a share, and bad things would turn into good things, so that everyone’s strength would soar!
Genishi Yoshiyuki and others were unwilling.
Whiriko is still unconscious. Although she seems to be just tired and lethargic, it is obvious that the wishing monster consumes her physical energy when it activates its ability.
Whether this suggestion comes to fruition or not, it will bring more harm to Kiriko to an unknown degree.
In the end, it is still a hidden danger left by the Demon-Sealing Thread incident. Someone said, "Yoshiyuki Negishi, who contributes the most to the boss every time, must have at least four or five Demon-Sealing Threads in his hands. Even if Kiriko dies, in the future you will It can be saved, so what are you afraid of? ’
‘At worst, when our overdraft potential is improved, we will compensate you when we fight the boss. ’
Negishi Yoshiyuki had such a bad temper that he almost got into a fight with the other party on the spot.
So at this moment, there was a commotion in the conference room. Some people supported Negishi Yoshiyuki, some felt that a single fog was not as important as the overall strategy, and some suggested finding a few more of these monsters to study.
Argo looked at those guys who claimed to be righteous and rhythmic with disgust - this kind of people are the most disgusting. It is obviously a harmonious and normal thing, but they want to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others and encourage other neutral parties to stand in line. It seems that not taking sides means the quality is low.
The last time the 'mysterious team' was asked to hand over such a powerful secret, weren't they the same ones?
Just when she was impatient, the beep of the communication crystal suddenly echoed. She lowered her head to check and saw a text sent to her by Ji Xing.
‘The general rules for gas lifeforms—what resides in Kiriko’s body is a strange life that is more dangerous than the immortal disease. Improper treatment may lead to the end of all players…’
Her eyes widened slightly, and she quickly read the rest of the text. Her heart was filled with waves, and she digested it on the spot for a long time before coming back to her senses.
Looking up and seeing that the argument was still going on, she thought about it for a moment, and then broadcast Ji Xing's communication crystal. Her face with a mustache suddenly showed an expression that was three parts sarcastic, three parts playful, and four parts mocking, and she patted it hard. Patted the table.
The banging sound caused silence in the conference room. She looked at the rhythmic guys and said: "Human greed is really terrible. People think about profit before they understand the situation. Aren't they afraid of making a deal with the devil and bringing about helplessness?" The ending?"
Several people on the other side were stunned for a moment, and then the leader, Kibaou, who had a strange hairstyle with five sharp corners, waved his hand impatiently: "This is an important decision to improve the strength of the entire strategy team. What are you, an intelligence player, saying? ?”
"Oops -" Argo crossed his arms: "No one said that when they bought information from me. Since you think that I am not qualified to talk to you as an intelligence player, then the next information about the monster 'E' in Kiriko's body , I won’t share it with you for free. Please go out first, and if you need it, remember to buy information from me later.”
Ya Wang and others were stunned.
The other players in the strategy group also looked at him in astonishment.
“That thing is called ‘E’?”
"Do you have information about it? Argo!" Negishi Yoshiyuki said excitedly.
"Nonsense!" Kibaou didn't believe it: "That's a new monster on the 51st floor. Only our strategy team can go there. Even if any of us have seen it, we won't sell information through you!"
“Hmph, do you think I, Argo the Rat, am an ordinary intelligence dealer? No one knows more about the secrets of the Mysterious Tower than me, and you can’t even imagine how many informants I have!
It is true that the 51st floor is currently a place only the strategy team can go to, but don’t forget, who is the first person to arrive and explore the 51st floor? "
First? That mysterious team? !
After saying these words in a calm tone, Argo felt secretly happy when he saw everyone's shocked reactions and the shocked eyes that looked at him.
She has been waiting for this day since she was frightened by Ji Xing. The taste of rats pretending to be tigers is really great. Our Treasure Hunting Rat Guild has stood up!
She also waved her hand and said: "Go out quickly, don't waste everyone's time, or if you pay me 100 million col for information now, you can stay and listen with everyone."
"You, you, you..." Kibaou stuttered a few words and said angrily: "Are you trying to unite with those guys to destroy the friendship of the strategy team?! Why don't they show up? They're just pretending!"
"I didn't let them come." Argo smiled playfully: "Just so as not to destroy the friendship of the strategy team. You don't know it yet, because you asked them to hand over a 'powerful secret' last time, and they had no idea what they were planning to do. I was able to kill you in the wild without you noticing, but I was the one who stopped you."
Yaou’s face turned green.
Argo continued: "Oh, by the way, they might be angry if I share the information with you for free. So for the sake of the strategy team, in order not to conflict with them, and for the sake of the strategy for the Mysterious Tower, you'd better get out quickly. The overall situation comes first, right, everyone?"
Kibaou felt like he was being kidnapped by morality.
Yougu coughed twice: "In that case, Kibaou, why don't you go outside for a while first?"
"…snort!"
Seeing a few people leave angrily, the players in the strategy group looked at each other and wanted to laugh.
“Argo, you are so awesome.” Asuna praised her directly.
Argo has a small body and a tall body. The 18-year-old girl is rich and generous. When Shijima Koharu, who was worried about Kiriko, asked, she let out a sigh of relief and stopped holding airplane exhibitions.
"Well, let's get down to business first. Ai is very dangerous, especially the state of the one in Kiriko's body. It is already a situation that must be dealt with."
…
‘The bigger the wish is fulfilled, the more desire will accumulate in the body, and will be released as a disaster the next time he acts coquettishly. ’
“Except for the initial time when Ai acted coquettishly towards Yugiru and only asked for a piece of paper, a candy, and a glass of water, it was because the last wish he fulfilled was to give Yoshiyuki Negishi a hug. ’
'But after Fujino Kazuo made a wish to become the strongest player, the desire accumulated in its body has reached a certain scale. The next act of coquettishness is likely to require a heart and a brain, which cannot be completed. content.
Once you reject it four times, the person being spoiled will die on the spot, and people related to the person being spoiled will also be killed according to the size of their desires. ’
‘In other words, when Kiriko wakes up and acts coquettishly towards Koharu, the outcome will most likely be the total annihilation of your team, along with the death of friends such as Eugeru and Kirito! ’
Carrying the comatose Kiriko, thinking back to Argo's story, Negishi Yoshiyuki couldn't stop feeling afraid, and he almost...
This creature is so terrifying.
The scary thing is not that the ability to fulfill wishes is "infinite in the conventional sense", but that the price is not repaid to the person who made the wish.
If the next person picks up her act of coquettishness, the person making the wish will be more likely to lose control of her desire.
If you make a huge wish, the price of repayment may wipe out all players!
With such a big threat, naturally some people proposed to ‘clear out’ the fog. At this moment, Negishi Yoshiyuki was also thankful that someone could solve it...
“Huh? This road on the 49th floor…”
A few people were slightly shocked, thinking about Ji Xing's special telekinesis ability, exaggerated cooking skills, exaggerated figure, and exaggerated majesty as the dean...
Not that surprising.
"Leave it to me. Those guys don't want to see you. I'll carry Wuzi in there." Argo said again.
Negishi Yoshiyuki, who had known it for a long time, nodded: "Please, Argo!"
“Don’t worry.” Argo, with the fog on his back, waved his hands calmly, concealing his inner expectations and nervousness—it was also the first time for me to see other members of that mysterious team.
Hold it, hold it back, don’t pretend!
Knocked on the door directly and entered Ji Xing's home. She saw Ji Xing sitting on the sofa not far away and motioned for her to carry Wuzi over. Argo closed the door, poked his head around like a devil entering a village, and asked in a low voice:
“Are they in the bedroom?”
“Where is there anyone else?” Ji Xing said with a smile.
"...Huh?" Argo was stunned and said with wide eyes: "Only you? Can your ability solve the problem? Then you were so mysterious to me, I thought everyone in your team was here!"
“Isn’t this just in line with your pretense?” Ji Xing gestured to the communication crystal: “It proves that you have strong connections.”
"W-what kind of pretense..." Argo felt a little embarrassed: "It's so ugly, I just want to use the opportunity to beat up a few annoying guys... Well, this won't make your friends unhappy, right?"
“It’s okay, keep working hard from now on.” Ji Xing looked at Wuzi who was placed on the sofa by her, showed a gentle smile and said: “Come out, let’s talk.
Of the five legendary brave team members, you were the only one possessed by Kiriko. You didn’t even show up when Eugene’s team arrived nearby. There must be a certain demand for possessed objects, and carriers like Wuzi are probably not easy to find.
You don’t want to die, you don’t want to give up, you don’t dare to act coquettishly to me, and you can’t kill me even if you make a wish...Then the only choice you have left is to listen to my conditions. "
Um? Argo blinked and suddenly felt an indescribable aura from Ji Xing.
And this ‘solution’ seems different from what you imagined?
The next moment, Wuzi's face changed, the dark eye holes and black lips reappeared, and the whole person darkened. He sat up and sat opposite Ji Xing with his hands on his knees.
“Are you willing to listen to my request?”
“Eey—you can’t bully me.”
Argo:? ? ?
Have we really negotiated?
“It’s not too much, two options.” Ji Xing said with a gentle expression: “The first option is that you leave Wuzi’s body and attach to me, like this...”
“Two, two, two, I want to hear two!”
…”
Ji Xing shook his head helplessly: "It has nothing to do with my attitude and thoughts. Is it an innate tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages of powerful beings? That's fine."
"No, you have no desire -" Ai said in a calm tone.
"Oh, is that the reason? I see, I just said I'm not that scary. But how could there be no desire? It's just that you're not capable enough and can't feel it." Ji Xing suddenly said.
"Then condition two is three requirements. First, you can stay in Asakura Kiriko's body, but you must communicate with her. Just like her Nen ability, assuming the role of a 'Nen beast', only You can only show up when she agrees.”
"Second, you cannot answer a wish that exceeds the specification. The so-called super specification means that your next act of coquettishness will become something that the next person will never be able to fulfill. You should understand this. Including the previous one 'Become the Strongest Player' ', you also want to clear it, you should be able to do it, right?"
"Third, give me a little bit of your ability to feel it, all at once. If you treat this as a wish, it should be possible, right?"
Argo was stunned, is this even different from what was promised? Instead of killing it, keep it? is this okay? "Ji Xing, you..."
"It's okay, it's a good thing." Ji Xing smiled and said: "Although I made a little decision on my own, I have already served as the parent of the players, and it is not too much to make this decision on the grounds of 'for their own good'."
What do you mean? For whom?
After a moment of silence, Ai said in a long voice, seemingly slightly unhappy: "Okay-"
Had I known that Ji Xing, the 'strongest player', would not possess Wuzi, it would have sensed that Ji Xing had the ability to actually kill it, and with its wisdom, it would have had no better choice.
A ray of faint light penetrated into Ji Xing's body.
Ji Xing closed his eyes slightly to feel.
Ai has two states. One is when it is pure, and it accumulates emotions through coquettishness.
Then, emotions are exchanged for desire, transformed into the carrier state of desire, and desire is released wantonly through destruction and destruction, returning to purity.
Completing the most powerful agreement with the purest oath, Ji Xing doubted that the founder of the belief had any reference to this form of life.
Pure, pure.
I also want to be clean.
Under the gaze of the confused Argo, Ji Xing, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly became ethereal at this moment. His whole figure seemed to fade away and disappear. The expression on his face was so relaxed that she seemed to be able to leave behind just by looking at it. All worries!
When Ji Xing opened her eyes, this feeling disappeared. She called out again uneasily: "Ji Xing? Are you... okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I just realized a new telekinesis ability."
Ability to read (wishes): Excellent (Level 1) (500/1000)
In some fairy novels, Buddhism has a saying of establishing great aspirations, and the ability created by Ji Xing at this moment is a quick version of establishing great aspirations!
Make a wish for yourself, and all the abilities used to fulfill the wish will be improved, while all other abilities will be reduced!
For example, in the battle with Toguro Ludi, if Ji Xing increases his strength by 50% with the wish of "killing Toguro Ludi", then other cooking, forging and other abilities will be reduced by 5% until Ji Xing Only when the star fulfills its wish will everything be restored.
The cost may seem low, but in fact it involves high risks. Wishes cannot be cleared. If they are not fulfilled, they will continue to accumulate on you.
If he had not killed Toguro Ludi, Ji Xing would have only gained 50% of the strength increase when fighting Toguro Ludi, and the negative, all-round 5% weakening would be permanently with him!
Like Ai, making a wish steadily, this kind of mental ability is a magical skill. Making a wish that exceeds the standard will bring huge disaster to oneself!
So first of all...
“The ability to make wishes (people) has been upgraded! The efficiency of practicing the ability (people) has been increased by 50%, and all other aspects have been reduced by 5%!”
In an instant, Ji Xing's mind was slightly obscured, but his ability to read (people) was particularly clear in his mind and body, bursting with clarity!
The vast power of thought expanded around him, and instantly turned into a beam of light and rushed out of his house!
Outside the courtyard, Negishi Yoshiyuki and the four others who were waiting anxiously looked at him in surprise, coming again? !
Only Argo knows that this incomprehensible energy comes from Ji Xing! Was it E's help? No, no, today Ji Xing is weird from beginning to end, this guy, this guy? !
Intelligence analysis capabilities are operating at full capacity.
The brain has a slight malfunction and is smoking.
"You, you, you..." After looking back at the surging thoughts, she stared at Ji Xing and couldn't stop stammering: "Are you me?!"
Ji Xing raised his eyebrows: "Of course, there has never been a mysterious team, only me, the president."
Ability to show off, KO!
The world view of Argo has been refreshed. Didn’t I watch you enter the mysterious tower? !
Ji Xing opened the information bar and smiled with satisfaction - Nian ability (human): extremely (level 10) (full level) → (level 11) (???)
How can human limits and my limits be judged by the attributes of a mysterious tower? !
