Chapter 237 Dongfeng Gu Hui's Curse

I'm rushing to finish my homework today, so I can only update it in the early morning.

After coaxing Hui to sleep, Li Zheng sat there in a daze.

He didn't expect the girl to be able to realize this step. Is this worthy of her intuition?

Some time ago, after returning from the virtual world of Shinadu, Bai Loli told him two "good news". One of them was a simple good news, that is, she got the "jealousy" upgrade component from Shinadu; and the other was "the situation of the contractor is about to completely improve. The moment she wins the Duel City Championship with her own strength, the extra gaps in her heart will be filled, and all the tasks of the first contractor will be completely settled."

At that time, Li Zheng asked Bai Loli what this meant. Bai Loli's explanation was very simple: "You, don't really think that you can enter the spiritual world of a healthy and complete self-conscious human being without being crushed to death in such a fragile state when you just came to this world?"

"You are?!" Li Zheng was stunned at this moment. Although his spirit did not sweat, Li Zheng felt his hair stand on end, as if Bai Loli was about to tell him a terrible fact-this fact was so cruel that he didn't want to know it.

"Hey, guessed it?" Bai Loli raised her lips slightly, sat back on the bed, swung her feet in beautiful over-the-knee white socks, and read a document: "Dongfeng Gu Hui, after three months of not having any symptoms, confidently boarded the ship of the Duelist Kingdom, and then on the first night on the ship, she suddenly developed a hidden illness in her sleep and died."

"..." Li Zheng was stunned. Although he had been mentally prepared, when he really faced this fact, he still... couldn't accept it!

"But, fortunately you are here." Bai Loli looked at Li Zheng's expression, obviously very pleased, "She actually didn't have any disease, but a kind of mental shock force - well, using the method of metaphysics, curse - the principle is very complicated and I won't tell you here. This is indeed a terminal illness for humans and human medicine. But this curse can be traced back to some very fundamental things. These things are not only knowledge related to the origin of this world, but also helpful for your rebirth. Also, it is for this reason that she meets the conditions to become your contractor, and your contract with her allows her to be reborn."

"Then, it stands to reason that I can't leave Huicai, right?" Li Zheng asked.

"Use your brain." Bai Loli pointed to her forehead with her mutton-fat jade-like index finger and said, "The contractor has been reborn. The contract between you and her only suppresses this curse and prevents it from torturing the contractor to death. If you really want to get rid of this state, she still has to break through herself."

"..." Li Zheng was silent. Is this good news? Of course, because as long as Dongfeng Gu Hui successfully crowned the "Duel King" in Duel City, she can completely get rid of this curse and live like a normal person. But if she lifted the curse, there would be no basis for establishing a contract between him and her, and the contract would automatically be untied, and he would have to continue to choose the second contractor from the vast crowd.

Later, when Li Zheng was watching the last game of Duel City, his complex mood was difficult for outsiders to describe - he hoped that Hui Neng would no longer be tortured, but he was reluctant to let him go.

[Hui, what does she think? ] Li Zheng didn't know.

After the memories came to an end, Li Zheng sat up from his sofa. He originally planned to return to the Human Spirit Hall to continue discussing the cause of saving the world with z-one, but a sudden message forced Li Zheng to stop.

[What is Bai Loli doing? ] Li Zheng looked at the updated task log and frowned, [Is it to make up for the loss of not winning the championship in Duel City? ]

It turned out to be a new main task. Originally, Black and White Loli told Li Zheng that the main quest was the same every week, but he didn't expect that there would be a new main quest right after the Duel City ended.

[Plan 1 for the establishment of the Duel Academy, the goal is to plan the "Duel Academy" project with Kaiba, there are quite a few rewards, and it doesn't seem difficult...] Li Zheng thought about it, [Should I complain about this world? There are professional academies for playing cards...]

After the Duel City ended, Kaiba mercilessly blew up the Duel Tower on the Scrap Island, and arranged to use the original materials on the Scrap Island to expand the area of ​​some islands. Is it to prepare for some "Duel Academy"?

Li Zheng put the terminal copy in his pocket - since the terminal body gave birth to self-awareness (especially this self-awareness is a funny chatterbox), Li Zheng has become more and more fond of using this terminal copy that is connected to the terminal body. It is not as powerful as the terminal in terms of computing power, but fortunately it will not make you upset or talk nonsense - and then thought: [It seems that their original once a week is just a setting before the system upgrade. ]

Li Zheng felt the changes of the system's update again - after defeating z-one, the "jealousy" upgrade component obtained from Shinadu was finally installed. After the new system upgrade, the original skills and functions were strengthened - for example, the "sublimation spirit" had its cooling time shortened and its effect enhanced - but the new skills did not appear.

However, after trying the system upgrade function, Li Zheng felt that there were no new skills or anything, but he could accept it.

For example, he opened the "lottery system" now, and the originally deserted casino was now crowded with people, bunny girls and moon-white cheongsam waiters shuttled among them, and many men and women wearing masks served as gamblers in the casino.

Li Zheng closed his eyes and felt the connection between the "lottery system" and the "spiritual temple system" at this time. As expected, many people from the city where the human spiritual temple in the spiritual temple system is located and other cities and towns in the "spiritual temple system" came to this casino through various adventures from all over the world. They will wear masks here and serve as gamblers.

Here, Li Zheng, who could not contact them before, can also interact with them.

Li Zheng looked at the mountain cat masked man in front of him. He and Li Zheng were playing 1. In the bets of both parties, Li Zheng put out a lot of large-denomination chips - after all, as the actual owner of the "lottery system", the exchange in his hand is very valuable here - and in front of the other party, in addition to a few chips less than Li Zheng, there is also a spirit card called "Majestic".

[Are there spirit cards in the world of the spirit hall system? ] Li Zheng thought so, [Get up, z-one also showed me a spirit card some time ago. ]

However, since it is a spirit card, Li Zheng has to accept it without hesitation. He silently opened the "Sublimation Spirit Body" and calculated all the possibilities of all the cards!

[…The next card is 10 or A, very good to get 10…Next, yes, my number is much lower than his, but…] Li Zheng smiled slightly, and then heard the voice of the dealer:

"The retailer busts, the banker wins!"

"Thank you." Li Zheng stood up, touched the stiff man's shoulder, took the spiritual card "Majestic" in front of him and put away his chips, not taking any of the remaining chips.

Not taking the opponent's chips seems to be pretentious, but in fact Li Zheng's idea is very simple: [This is a pitfall system. Except for your own chips, you can't exchange them for anything else. If you exchange them out, they will be useless next time. What's the point of keeping such a thing? ! ]
