[Ding! You killed 1 'One-eye Crow', gaining 1 soul point.]
[Ding! You killed 1 'One-eye Crow', gaining 1 soul point.]
[Ding! You killed 1 'One-eye Crow', gaining 1 soul point.]
…
The System continuously displayed these message. Even though Hikaru couldn't see the scene outside, he knew Saraya was quickly killing the crows.
The crows couldn't enter the room, but Saraya could attack from inside the room. This was nothing more than a one-sided massacre.
Just as Hikaru thought, Saraya easily dealt with the crows flying outside.
[There are 3,770 'One-eye Crows' outside. Let Saraya continue to fight, then use soul points to restore her Mana. If it continues like this, you will soon have enough soul points to level up Saraya's rarity.]
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Hikaru's head, startling him. Hikaru didn't know the owner of the voice because he was sure it wasn't Saraya's.
[I am your Talent - God Will.]
"My talent? Can my talent talk to me?" Hikaru was startled. For the first time, he heard that a Talent was able to give birth to thoughts and converse with the master.
[Right. Don't be afraid, my life depends on yours. If you live, I live. If you die, I die.]
"okay, but who are you?"
[As I said, I am your Talent - God Will. You may not believe what I say now, but later, you will. One thing that won't change is that even if the monster you summoned betrays you, I will never betray you.]
"So… what's your name?"
[...I don't have a name.]
Hikaru thought for a moment, then said: "Then, I'll call you Rika. Hearing your voice, I thought you were female, so naming you Rika should be fine."
[Thank you, Master. From now on, I am Rika.]
Even though Hikaru didn't believe much of what Rika said, Rika already co-existed with him anyway. Even if he wanted to change it, he was powerless. If you can't change it, then don't force it, let's just follow the arrangement of fate.
"Master! My mana is only half. Do you want…"
"No need! Let's get some rest." Hikaru ordered. He also took inventory that his soul point had reached 75.
Hikaru sat still on the bed, silently communicating with Rika. Luckily when talking to Rika, he just needed to think,there was no need to speak.
"Rika, how can I restore Saraya's Mana?"
[Your soul points are stored in the System inventory. You just need to follow my instructions. Before that, you better level up.]
Hikaru agreed with what Rika said. He didn't want to remain a weak person who had to be protected.
[First, you can use soul points to raise your level.]
Hikaru: "My level?"
[Yes, players can level up by using soul points.]
Hikaru scratched his head and asked: "Then what's the difference between the other players and me?"
[Of course, there is a difference. Please use the M.E skill to level up, and you will know the reason.]
Hikaru both believed and doubted what he heard. He used M.E on himself, then a notice board immediately appeared.
[Ding! Do you want to spend 50 soul points to level up? Note, you can only increase your level to level 10. To pass level 10, you need to level up the territory.]
"Yes!"
[Ding! Successfully leveled up.]
Hikaru felt his whole body wrapped in a tub of warm water. He felt his strength increase significantly. Not only his strength but also his spirit and senses had increased.
…
Landlord: Hikaru
Level: 2
Job: None
Agility: 17
Strength: 18
Intelligence: 15
…
At this time, Hikaru took off the blindfold and saw that there were countless crows with monstrous shapes outside the window trying to enter the room. Hikaru confidently looked outside because his Intelligence attributes were much higher, and he was not afraid of being hypnotized by the crows outside.
"Rika, how is leveling up with M.E skill different from leveling up normally?"
[Master, when leveling up, regular players only have 10 points to add to their attributes. However, when you use the M.E skill, each of your attributes adds 10 points.]
Hikaru realized how terrifying a SSS level rarity skill was. Being able to bend the rules of this world, it's not wrong to say it's a cheat.
If he continued to level up with the M.E skill, the distance between him and the other players would grow further and further. By then, even without Saraya's protection, Hikaru could face the other players confidently.
[However, to level up with the M.E skill, the number of resources required is 10 times higher than that of regular players.]
Hikaru listened to Rika as well and felt that it was to be expected. The benefits were too much, and a little restriction didn't make it unreasonable.
Hikaru took something from the System inventory that looked like a firefly. That was the soul point. He gave Saraya a soul point, which helped her recover her Mana.
[Master! There's a treasure chest outside!]
Rika's voice resounded, surprising Hikaru.
"Treasure chest?"
[Right! In this world, there are many treasure chests and many resources inside. If you're lucky, you might find treasures or legendary items.]
Hikaru felt highly excited, but looking outside surrounded by countless 'One-eye Crows' felt a bit impossible.
Hikaru rubbed his chin and asked Rika, "Does anyone else know about the treasure chest besides you?"
[The treasure chest is well hidden. Without instructions, other players can still find the treasure chest. However, other players must overcome many dangers to obtain the treasure chest.]
[You don't need to rush. Right now, what you need to do is level up quickly. Although the number of crows outside was significant, they could not enter the room. In other words, the crows outside are the soul points waiting for you to harvest.]
Hikaru agrees with Rika. Although there were many crows outside, they couldn't enter the room, and Saraya was able to use her skill to destroy them.
As long as she doesn't leave the room, Saraya will destroy all those crows soon.
"Master!"
Saraya suddenly called out to Hikaru. She said: "The crows are getting smarter. They know how to gather together so they can share the electricity I use to attack. If the crows continue like this, we will waste a lot of time."
Hikaru couldn't think of any method at the moment, so he could only say to Saraya: "Okay, take a break. I will think of a solution."
Saraya smiled obediently, and sat on the floor. Hikaru also had no intention of calling her to bed. After all, Saraya is a Succubus. If the distance between Hikaru and Saraya is too close, he is afraid that he would lose control.
[Review on world chat channel.]
"The world chat channel?"
Rika suddenly reminded. Hikaru immediately opened the system interface, then went to the 'world chat channel' section.
…
Player xxx: "Someone give me a bottle of water, please."
Player xyz: "Nothing is free. A bottle of water costs 50 soul points."
Player acb: "What the hell? Are you a thief?"
Player xyz: "Yes, I am a thief."
Player ooo: "Buy! I'll buy!"
Player oio: "Hungry! Please, I want to buy a pizza. No, just one piece is fine."
Player ppp: "Everyone, can someone come out of the room? I can't leave the room, and an Orc over 2m tall is watching over my door."
Player uiu: "I opened the beginner gift pack and got the job as Mage, but the System didn't give me the skill. Now, I can only sit in my room and watch the monsters keep watch. After 7 days, I will die. If any player is strong, please save me."
Player kiki: "Hahaha, I can summon monsters. Now, I just need to let the monsters go to work, and I'll be safe."
…
Hikaru looked through the messages in the world chat channel and realized three things. Firstly, not every player who opens a beginner gift pack will have food. Hikaru was fortunate to receive three days' worth of food and water. According to Hikaru's speculation, food will become increasingly scarce, and the value of food will increase.
Second, not all players have the ability to summon monsters. Some players have other occupations such as magician, swordsman, gladiator... etc.
Third, everyone is surrounded by monsters around the room, unable to go out. After 7 days, players must deal with the monsters themselves.
Besides, on the System, there is a trading function between players. As long as both parties agree, anything can be traded.
Hikaru thought for a moment and then typed on the System. Then a message appeared on the world chat channel.
Lord Hikaru: "A 200ml bottle of mineral water costs 100 soul points. 1 bread costs 100 soul points. It can be traded for other items.Do not receive spam messages."
With just such a message, the entire world chat channel was boiling like an erupting volcano.
…
Player xxx: "F*ck you!!! Black Trader! Monster!"
Player aaa: "Bastard Hikaru. You are eviler than the devil."
Player yyy: "Why? We are all human. In critical times like these, we need to unite, and sharing is the right thing to do."
Player ooo: "That's right! If you have food, you have to share it with everyone. When people are short of food, and you sell it at a high price, you are no different from a bandit?"
…
Hikaru saw the messages cursing him. However, he sneered and didn't bother.
Conscience?
Humanity?
Sharing with everyone.
Sorry. In Misty World, only the strong can survive. Any pity or weakness will be destroyed.
Those who are constantly shouting these things are liars. They rely on pity and try to provoke others to share the food. Those bastards are no different from hungry vultures.
Hikaru saw that the private message section was constantly showing messages from strangers. There are messages cursing him, begging him, and asking him to sell at a low price.
Of course, Hikaru is not a god, nor can he survive on love and benevolence.
Hikaru ignored all the bullshit messages or curses because he only wants to focus on the people who wants to trade. Hikaru also didn't worry that no one would buy it. Anyway, food was extremely scarce right now and will become more scarce.
Hikaru didn't see anyone who wanted to cooperate, so he turned off the chat box, then continued to help Saraya recover Mana.
…
Meanwhile, somewhere else in Misty World. In a room similar to Hikaru's, a beautiful girl was sitting on the bed looking at the chat box.
The girl's name is Hana. She is also one of the players in Misty World. However, Hana is luckier than the others because she possesses a Talent that allows her to exchange her soul points for random cards.
Like the other players, Hana came to this world without food or water. Hana also cannot turn the cards she created into food and drinks.
Besides, Hana cannot use these cards because of their harsh requirements.
However, after seeing Hikaru's message in the world chat, Hana came up with the idea that she would use the cards she had created to exchange for food and water.
Hana took a deep breath, deciding to send a message to Hikaru.
[Sorry, I don't have a lot of soul points, but can I use random cards to exchange?]
