Chapter 41: Reverse It! (Chapter to pay debt, two remaining chapters)
Chu Ke carefully examined the Hero's skills; they were quite interesting.
[Natalie Dialo (Hero of the North)] [Class: Paladin lv30] [Constitution: 90; Resistance: 170; Recovery: 70; Magic Power: 102] [Skills: Lie Detection lvmax (Passive); Holy Judgment lv7; Heart of Justice (Unique). (Expand to view remaining 21)] [Class-Specific Skill: Holy God Link] [Whenever the user establishes bonds with more and more powerful individuals, a portion of the bonded individuals' attributes or skills will be fed back (Current number of bonded individuals: 0)]
Lie Detection. If Chu Ke's main body were here, it definitely wouldn't work under the influence of the Fundamental Forces, but currently, he was just an ordinary clone.
"Interesting." Chu Ke suddenly had an idea.
"What did you say?" Dialo sat in the seat next to Chu Ke, the metal full-body armor clanging as it collided. A head of golden hair cascaded freely, like a waterfall of liquid gold.
"Nothing." Chu Ke turned to look at the woman. "You're a Hero, right? The Hero of the North."
Dialo's left hand tightened, and she turned to look at Chu Ke, her brow furrowed. "You used Appraisal on me?"
The Appraisal skill could naturally be used by the strong on the weak, but it was ultimately a very impolite act, and generally, no one would say it directly.
"Yeah, just took a look." Chu Ke pulled out a piece of paper and wiped the popcorn syrup from his hand, extending it to Dialo. "Nice to meet you, Chu Ke, Hero of the East."
Dialo was taken aback. Although this city was indeed close to the Lake of Truth, and she had considered the possibility of encountering other Heroes, she hadn't expected it to be so coincidental.
Her innate Lie Detection ability hadn't reacted, indicating that everything the man before her was saying was the truth.
"Hello, I am Natalie Dialo, Hero of Holiness." Realizing that the other party was also a Hero, Dialo didn't mind Chu Ke using Appraisal on her earlier. After all, the Demon Race had long sent people to infiltrate human territories to assassinate the various Heroes. Being cautious was normal; she had encountered an assassination attempt not long ago, and if it weren't for her Lie Detection ability, she would have fallen victim.
Moreover, the young man named Chu Ke had generously admitted to using Appraisal on her, which left Dialo, who was used to deception, with a very good impression.
However, a good impression was one thing, and following procedure was another.
Dialo shook Chu Ke's hand, and she said with a hearty laugh, "Your identity is that of a Hero, and I believe you, but I still have to ask."
"Do you have any thoughts of secretly colluding with the Demon Race and betraying your original camp?"
As she spoke, the light around Dialo seemed to be reflected by her golden hair, appearing brighter.
Chu Ke was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily. "I swear, I absolutely do not know any members of the Demon Race, nor do I have any thoughts of secretly colluding with the Demon Race and betraying my original camp."
All truths.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Hero of the East, Chu Ke." Dialo's smile was now even more sincere, and she pulled Violet Vega over to introduce her. "This is the savior I met outside this city, Violet Vega. Don't let her delicate appearance fool you; she's a great mage!"
When Dialo looked at Vega, Vega revealed a pitiful expression, looking just like a bullied little girl; but as soon as Dialo looked away, Vega's expression returned to its icy state, as if everyone owed her eight million.
Damn it, Dialo, run! You've been targeted by a lesbian!
Chu Ke nodded. "I know her."
The participants in the next match were competing for this woman; how could he not know her?
He also understood Natalie Dialo's naturally familiar personality. After all, he hadn't hidden anything from Natalie Dialo. With the added bonus of goodwill and a skill geared towards making connections, making friends far and wide was the right choice. He just didn't know the extent of the "creating bonds" aspect of her skill.
"Are we going to the Lake of Truth together next?" Natalie Dialo extended an invitation.
For some reason, Chu Ke now had the feeling that Brother Jie was asking him to come over to his place to hang out.
"Sure," Chu Ke said coolly with a nod, transforming into an Ice Goblin.
He was now even more excited about the match.
Seeing this, Natalie Dialo didn't say anything more, quietly sitting down to watch together.
Only Violet Vega, from behind where Natalie Dialo couldn't see, cast a gaze at Chu Ke that made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Chu Ke looked at her, gave her a bright smile, and moved his butt closer to Natalie Dialo, sticking closer to her.
The feeling of sitting on pins and needles intensified.
Awesome, being a masochist is so satisfying.
I'll dye my hair yellow when I have time.
Soon, the match began.
With an order from the referee standing on the high platform, the two sides of the match slowly entered the arena.
They were Rhode, dressed in a gray linen Martial Arts uniform, and Garo, dressed in an orange Martial Arts uniform.
The first thing the two did upon meeting was to start provoking each other.
"Hmph, I heard someone is still stuck at level 17."
"Trash, levels aren't everything. The one who can marry Xiao Zi in the end..."
Chu Ke yawned and emptied his mind.
When he came back to his senses, the trash-talking session between the two had already ended, and the referee began to announce the rules and countdown.
"Thank you, senior," Chu Ke murmured.
As expected, skipping too many xx scenes can also skip one's own life!
So useful.
"Eh, what are you saying?" The curious Natalie Dialo heard Chu Ke's whisper.
"Thank you to a senior who taught me a secret technique to skip time," Chu Ke replied casually without looking at her.
"Eh! That's amazing!" Natalie Dialo said in surprise.
She's suitable to be a comic foil, going to smoke, drink, and get perms with Teacher Yu Qian.
"(Inhale) Don't believe everything he says!" Violet Vega, who was next to them, finally couldn't bear it anymore and angrily rebuked him.
"What a rare way of speaking," Chu Ke was also astonished, not expecting to actually encounter someone who spoke like that in Reality.
"But what he said is true," the dim-witted Natalie Dialo said with a serious face.
"(Inhale) How is that possible! I've learned so much magic..."
Chu Ke didn't listen to what the two were saying because the fight had officially started below.
Both of them were Martial Artists, so the scene was quite flashy, with various auras flying all over the place, like a legendary web game.
As for the damage, let's just say, "Stop fighting! (Heavy rain, two people, dance-off)"
Because Garo, being of a higher level, had awakened the Martial Artist's key skill, Battle Qi Protection, while the lower-level Rhode relied on special items for defense, after thirty minutes of fighting, the two were only panting and had not achieved any substantial results.
Chu Ke frowned, unable to watch any longer.
The rest of the audience also felt that the tickets were a bit of a waste and began to boo the two.
Finally, after another round of the two pecking at each other like chickens, Chu Ke suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up.
Startling Natalie Dialo next to him.
Chu Ke stood up, grabbed with his right hand in the air, and shouted, "Grab his [bleep] and twist it!"
The audience's booing came to a halt.
"Oh god!" The uncle sitting near Chu Ke turned pale and looked back at Chu Ke in shock, "Although this is no rules..."
Before the uncle could finish speaking, Chu Ke ignored him and made another gesture: "Twist it, like this!"
The uncle and the other spectators were silent for a while, and then someone suddenly shouted, "Twist it!"
Seeming to think that this would make the fight more interesting, and thus worth the ticket price, the shouts of the audience were gradually led astray: "Twist it!"
"Twist it!"
"Twist it!!!"
Still recuperating in the hospital, coding on a tablet, the debt can only be repaid slowly, sorry.
Thanks to book friend Duan Jiayi for the 100 coin reward, thank you, thank you! Finally, asking for everything!
