Song Xiaozhu did not stop the " Hunter " from relentlessly pursuing her.
Letting a vicious criminal go is equivalent to killing a thousand victims.
She couldn't stop it.
The Slaughter Value kept rising, making her chest feel cold, and her heart felt as heavy as if it had been weighed down by a weight.
Xiao He finally stopped.
Song Xiaozhu's Slaughter Value has reached a shocking 1.5 million.
Xiao He: "Should we exchange it for Quantum Coin?"
1.5 million Slaughter Value are equivalent to 7,500 Quantum Coin at the current exchange rate.
Song Xiaozhu: "No."
Xiao He: "?"
Looking at the staggering number of Slaughter Value, Song Xiaozhu said firmly, " Xiao He, I will not exchange Slaughter Value for Quantum Coin. Not now, not in the future. No matter what dire situation I'm in, no matter how much I need Quantum Coin, I will not touch them."
"Why?" Xiao He couldn't understand. She tried to analyze it. " The Three Kills Gang are bad people. They killed many people. This time, they also actively invaded the village. You killed them to protect the village. Slaughter Value are spoils of war. With these, you can... well, build the village and help more people. Wouldn't that be more meaningful?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Every one God-Favored thinks this way."
Xiao He was taken aback.
Song Xiaozhu patiently said to her, "Killing is killing. There is no distinction between 'justice' and 'evil.' No matter the reason, I bear the Slaughter Value."
I don't mind carrying the burden of killing
The value of killing is unavoidable if there are things you want to protect.
But I need to draw a line for myself.
Xiao He: "... Just like you don't want to exchange Rough Stone Fragment for Quantum Coin."
Song Xiaozhu: "Yes, they are the same. Once I use these Slaughter Value, I will become greedy. People are good at making excuses, especially for themselves."
"It's that simple. The Three Kills Gang are villains, and killing them is a great relief. I'm using Slaughter Value to exchange for Quantum Coin in order to protect more people."
"And then? Those God-Favored are the worst of the worst, they all deserve to die; the Holy City is corrupt and full of evil people, they all deserve to die; the people in the other Testing Ground are ignorant and disruptive, they deserve to die even more... Finally, even the people of Liu Family Village deserve to die, because they dared to doubt my decisions, dared to disobey my orders, I did it all for everyone's good, for the greater good, for the world."
Song Xiaozhu frowned and continued, "Once I use Slaughter Value, I will crave more Slaughter Value. Once I start craving them, I will have countless 'just' reasons to acquire Slaughter Value."
"Believe me, each one is just, each one is meaningful, and each one is a 'good deal'."
No one does anything wrong.
Every one of God-Favored is doing the "right" thing, to the point of madness.
"I understand," Xiao He said softly, "You know you are a human being."
Song Xiaozhu: "Yes, I'm just a human being." That's why she doesn't challenge the evil in human nature.
Xiao He suddenly said, "Let me erase it for you."
Song Xiaozhu was taken aback. "Huh?"
Xiao He: "If you don't want to exchange Slaughter Value for Quantum Coin, I can remove this feature."
Song Xiaozhu was shocked. "You can do that?"
Xiao He: "You regret it?"
Song Xiaozhu: "Regret my ass! Erase it, erase it now!" This is really great, it saves her from having to use her willpower to suppress her desires—honestly, with a cake in front of her, and she having been starved for ten or fifteen days, it's really hard not to eat it!
Xiao He asked her again, "Is it confirmed that the Slaughter Value exchange function will be removed soon?"
Song Xiaozhu replied decisively, "Yes!"
Xiao He: "It's been erased."
Song Xiaozhu quickly checked and found that, sure enough, below the Fixed Quest, only the Leadership Value and Transaction Value remained, while the Slaughter Value had disappeared into thin air.
1.5 million Slaughter Value equals 7,500 Quantum Coin...
... Song Xiaozhu, who had been terrified of poverty, felt no disappointment or regret, only a sense of comfort.
" Xiao He!"
"Um?"
"Thanks!"
Xiao He didn't understand why she thanked him, but still replied earnestly, "You're welcome."
Song Xiaozhu's smile was almost as bright as the sun. How wonderful it is to have a capable and considerate younger sister!
Song Xiaozhu cleared her throat and said, " Xiao He, why don't you erase Growth Quest 10 while you're at it?" That was a repetitive task that required exchanging Rough Stone Fragment for 10,000 Quantum Coin.
Xiao He: "No."
Song Xiaozhu pretended to cry, "Waaah."
Xiao He: "You said it yourself, don't be greedy!"
Song Xiaozhu: "..." Goodness, Xiao He can even apply what he's learned to other situations.
indeed.
That's also greed.
Well, it's already good enough that the Slaughter Value can be erased.
-
The war is over.
Song Xiaozhu successfully defended the "base".
The Liu Family Village was bustling with activity after the war. The villagers were busy cleaning up the battlefield and taking care of the wounded. Everyone's face showed both exhaustion and the joy of surviving a disaster.
There are still four hours until dawn.
The real danger still lurks in the village.
The Base Manager popped up a new notification: [Attention, outsiders have entered the village. View details?]
Song Xiaozhu stopped smiling and replied, "Yes."
She knew that Fan Cang had arrived.
The Base Manager provides detailed information--
Name: Fan Cang.
Gender: Male.
Occupation: God-Favored.
Status: Calm!
Chapter 102
"Calm down?" Song Xiaozhu murmured to herself.
Xiao He: "Yes."
Song Xiaozhu knew that this "state" came from Xiao He's judgment, and her judgment was by no means based on intuition, but on an algorithm, which was the conclusion given after scanning the body of the outsider and calculating various values.
