Chapter 172

Will read the letter again.

Then, after keeping the contents of the letter in mind, he turned on the shower nozzle in the bathroom.

He could feel that when he touched the nozzle, there was still a little bit of the coolness brought by the blood-colored peppermint essential oil that he had touched before.

Although the body's circuits are not running at high speed and "burning with desire" like before, there are still some different experiences.

Then……

He wanted to digest this huge joke about "destiny" and "clues" by himself while Xiuna wouldn't observe the changes in his expression.

About that letter...

The first thing he thought about was that if he hadn't been in a hurry and couldn't go back immediately, he would definitely go to Novis Town first and give Yiel a good lesson in Chinese.

followed by……

That's right.

Leah's confession was too passionate, and the reason she gave for "falling in love with him" was too reasonable after he experienced it himself.

And made him forget the key factor.

Assuming that this is indeed the world of a novel, from the perspective of "story logic", the girl who is going to become the defeated dog was once a harem girl, even if he has done so many things...

Nor would he fall in love with a cannon fodder villain who will die in a year.

This is not a lack of confidence on his part.

But if we slightly depart from the perspective of "Will System" and look at it from an experienced former system planner, we may be able to find the reasons for some strange phenomena from an external perspective.

For this "world" that is all built on a "narrative", it is like a love game with a favorability system.

However, because of this, this system will definitely only be open to the "protagonist".

The "favorability value" of the girls is just a thing hanging on them, and the trigger is only owned by the "protagonist".

but……

if……

If this "protagonist" is like what he sees now...

Disappeared?

And it's not necessarily "not appearing in the right place at the right time", it may even be a vicious bug such as "the character's model, category, and mark are missing".

——Aha, who told the former company boss to hire a programmer with a monthly salary of 3,000 to actually do this?

Then, the "favorability" value of the heroines may only flow to other places.

Maybe it's because of this...

their “interpersonal relationships.”

Their "focus".

Their “favorability”.

Only then can he transform into an ordinary "cannon fodder villain" like himself?

For example...

Things I have done before...

The first time I met Bidong Leah, my favorability was +10.

Helped Leah overcome the difficulty of keeping things warm, and her favorability +20.

He was imprisoned in a freezer with Leah and then forcefully sucked blood, gaining +20 favorability (?).

He has been Leah's good student and good assistant for three years, and has done many...experiments, and his favorability level is +100(?).

Then, due to his poor upbringing, this value reaches a certain level, and then triggered by some stressful events, it will cause the favorability to become a "blackening value", and then the yandere will show it to himself.

Thinking of Leah he met last night - oh, the time point was already two weeks ago at night, Will still swallowed his saliva.

"This seems to be the most reasonable explanation at the moment."

"At least the things about Leia and Xiu's failure to come are connected in a way."

"Sure enough, sometimes you still need to think about problems with a planning mind..."

"only……"

Looking at the water flowing down from his body, especially the collarbone where Leah had buried the needle.

There is still some pain.

However, the adventurers in this world are quite rough, and no one with such a minor injury would be squeamish about being "not suitable for bathing".

The pain is so real, and it cannot be brushed off with a few damage values ​​and debuffs marked under the avatar.

"These two are just isolated speculations, and there is no other evidence to confirm them."

While soaping himself, Will looked at the window at the top of the bathroom for ventilation.

The morning star hangs in the sky.

Only then did he realize that it was actually close to evening when he got up. After entering autumn, it was getting dark earlier and faster.

Qiming...

The star of enlightenment...! ?

This very familiar team name suddenly gave Will an idea.

"No, no, no, there's one more thing, maybe it's related to this, no... it's definitely related to this!"

"The earliest clue is..."

"yes……"

"The disappearance of the true 'Star of Light'."

Although he has not yet seen why this name was chosen in the original work, it is obvious...

Xiu does not disappear now!

Even the former team is missing, he probably disappeared a year ago!

And he disappeared with him...

Most likely there are...

There was also his good friend who established the "Qiming Star" with him, but died during the adventure in the dungeon because they did not do good logistics.

Think further...

Could he not be in the story at all?

"If this was a storyline where he didn't exist at all, how exactly would the story play out?"

"Damn it, it would be great if we could jump directly to a year later. This time is so embarrassing."

The time he is in now is still a while away from the real beginning of the original work, and it is also the year that was simply mentioned, "Xiu and his teammates had conflicts under the background of the continuous deterioration of the dungeon adventure team system", and there are no historical events to refer to.

But from the information he has obtained so far...

The general direction of "history" has hardly changed.

Especially the development of the dungeon - the Systrom family is methodically promoting the policy of dungeon entertainment, so as to slowly control the economic lifeline of Entak, and even train a combat force close to the army by cultivating a self-operated rescue team.

It is really a reassuring Systrom family and a reassuring head of the Carver family.

In addition, the royal family of Entak, judging from the teaching of Treya, is also in rapid decline.

Also declining is the body of King Edward, who is so bald that his hair color cannot be passed down.

In fact, he has not appeared in major occasions for half a year, and the outside world is not optimistic about his physical condition.

According to the timeline of the original work, he will die in one year, three months and fifteen days - according to the situation that Treya has been taking care of his body, it is also the case.

His death should be the best anchor point in the whole book, because the date is written.

Plus, the dungeon of the Novice Village is still in Novice Town - according to the original work, it will be conquered two months later because there will be a dungeon more suitable for novices.

"Great!"

"Although the 'story' will change greatly because of the disappearance of a person, it seems that history will not change so easily because of the disappearance of a person."

At least Will can rest assured that...

Some "big events" that have nothing to do with Xiu should still happen step by step.

But...

You have to be careful next time.

"It's okay! Don't panic, the situation is still under control!"

Then, he stepped on the soap.

Perhaps it was because the slime that killed him seemed to be of water attribute, and he was naturally antagonized by this thing.

The bathroom made a shocking sound.

"Will - are you okay?"

Then, Xiu Na saw Will lying on his back and the soap flying to her feet.

"Hmm... what does this mean?"

"It's okay. I also like to think about things and even act when I take a shower."

"Okay, okay, no need to comfort me! Really... I just slipped when I stomped my feet."

"Actually, I like to sing when I take a shower."

"Why didn't I hear it once?"

"Maybe the frequency of my singing has exceeded the hearing range of your ears - you see some dungeon bosses, when your attack frequency is too low, it will cause the attack to be invalid."

"Are you talking about this frequency?"

"Oh, little Will, be careful, there is a staircase ahead."

Will was "supported" by Shuna walking on the street in Yavik.

His degree of myopia...

It can't be said to be serious, but in this... slightly "retro" era, it is considered high and rare.

He even feels that his degree of myopia is more serious than his previous life when he was always sitting in front of the computer to work.

Although it is okay to walk without glasses, he can't say what he will bump into.

Therefore, Shuona, who accompanied him to get glasses, served as his walking stick for a short time.

Speaking of which, he was a little nostalgic.

When he was injected with witch blood, there was a short period of time when his vision was better than it is now.

"Where is the place to get glasses? The place with the particularly bright light in front?"

It was night in Yavik City now, and it looked brightly lit.

For people with myopia and a little astigmatism, bright lights are not a good thing. He looked out and saw all the circles of light.

"That's the snack street. You should know the terrain here very well. Just go through it."

"Oh... then this should be... the Adventurer's Association."

The Adventurer's Association has become much quieter.

In Will's state, he can also see that the Adventurer's Association has moved out the old tables and chairs and put them aside, ready to sell them at a low price at any time.

This is a city that developed from a "very good business opportunity" underground city. With the disappearance of the underground city, it will also be depressed for a short time.

The first to reduce expenses and personnel stationed is the Adventurer's Association.

As the number of people in the association decreased, the number of adventure teams that came here to stay also decreased.

Later, merchants and hotels that did business with adventurers moved away and closed down one after another.
