Ji Xing thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Ai would run away when he saw him.
I don’t want a home anymore, I just made a wish and ran away.
There is no way to catch them, they have moved to nowhere in an instant.
After the threat of 'You don't want all the Sanyuan water to be drained by me' was ineffective, Ji Xing could only shake his head helplessly and actually took out the bucket to fill the water.
The thought energy turned into substance and was released. Without reaching out to touch, the Sanyuan Water was like a river in the sky, being rolled into three empty buckets and quickly filled.
It was taken back to the inventory again. Ji Xing didn't really use it up, not to mention that in the Tower of Mystery, he might do it the next day if he had time, so it was enough to leave some for self-research, and he couldn't go in vain.
"You are so timid. It seems that there is not much hope of catching one with your own hands. Fortunately, that girl Kiriko Asakura still has one in her body."
I need to be nice and talk to it.
…
On the other hand, this strategy team meeting can be said to be very lively.
After initially feeling surprised and regretful about Kiriko’s encounter, the mysterious coquettish wishing monster, and the death of Fujino Kazuki, during the discussion, I don’t know who made the first suggestion - what if the wish was smaller?
Yes, Fujino Kazuchi had truly improved before his death, but perhaps his wish to become the strongest player was too general, which led to him being overwhelmed. The amazing wishing energy of the wishing monster was also perceived by many people.
However, its power in fulfilling wishes is absolutely beyond imagination.
What if we could make use of it and make a conditional wish to 'increase our strength by one level'?
What about overdrawing future potential? In the current situation, some people are willing to trade the future for the present and quickly reach the limit of their talents.
You Gu immediately said that he could select a volunteer from the army to try. If it was really feasible, everyone in the strategy team would have a share, and bad things would turn into good things, so that everyone's strength would soar!
Negishi Yoshiyuki and others were unwilling.
Kiriko is still unconscious. Although she seems to be just tired and lethargic, it is obvious that the wishing monster consumes her physical energy when it activates its ability.
Regardless of whether this suggestion is successful or not, it will bring more unknown degree of harm to Wuzi.
In the end, it is still a hidden danger left by the Demon-Sealing Thread incident. Some people said, "Yoshiyuki Negishi, who contributes the most to the boss every time he conquers the boss, must have at least four or five Demon-Sealing Threads in his hands. Even if Kiriko dies, in the future you will
It can be saved, so what are you afraid of?'
'At worst, when our overdraft potential is improved, I'll compensate you when we fight the boss.'
Negishi Yoshiyuki had such a bad temper that he almost got into a fight with the other party on the spot.
So at this moment, there was a commotion in the conference room. Some people supported Yoshiyuki Negishi, some felt that one Kiriko was not as important as the overall strategy, and some suggested finding a few more of these monsters to study.
Argo looked at those guys who claimed to be righteous and rhythmic with disgust - this kind of people are the most disgusting. It is obviously a harmonious and normal thing, but they want to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others and encourage other neutral parties to stand in line.
, it seems that not taking sides means the quality is low.
Were they the same ones who asked the 'mysterious team' to hand over such a powerful secret last time?
Just when she was impatient, the beep of the communication crystal suddenly echoed. She lowered her head to check and saw that Ji Xing had sent her a text.
'The general rules for gas lifeforms - what resides in Wuzi's body is a strange life that is more dangerous than the immortal disease. Improper treatment may lead to the end of all players...'
Her eyes widened slightly, and she quickly read the rest of the text. Her heart was filled with waves, and she digested it on the spot for a long time before she came back to her senses.
Looking up to see that the argument was still going on, she thought about it for a moment, and then broadcast Ji Xing's communication crystal. Her face with a mustache suddenly showed an expression of three parts sarcasm, three parts fun, and four parts mocking, and she patted it hard.
Patted the table.
The banging sound caused silence in the conference room. She looked at the rhythmic guys and said: "Human greed is really terrible. People think about profit before they understand the situation. Aren't they afraid of making a deal with the devil and bringing about helplessness?"
The ending?"
Several people on the other side were stunned for a moment, and then the leader, Kibaou, who had a strange hairstyle with five sharp corners, waved his hand impatiently: "This is an important decision to improve the strength of the entire strategy team. What are you, an intelligence player, saying?
?”
"Oops -" Argo crossed his arms: "No one said that when they bought information from me. Since you think that I am not qualified to talk to you as an intelligence player, then the next thing about the monster 'E' in Kiroko's body
I will not share the information with you for free. Please go out first. If you need it, remember to buy information from me later."
Kibaou and others were stunned.
The other players in the strategy group also looked at him in astonishment.
"That thing is called 'E'?"
"Do you have information about it? Argo!" Negishi Yoshiyuki said excitedly.
"Nonsense!" Kibaou didn't believe it: "That's a new monster on the 51st floor. Only our strategy team can go there. Even if any of us have seen it, we won't sell information through you!"
"Hmph, do you think I, Argo the Rat, am an ordinary intelligence dealer? No one knows more about the secrets of the Mysterious Tower than me, and you can't even imagine how many informants I have!
The 51st floor is currently a place only the strategy team can go to, but don’t forget, who is the first person to arrive and explore the 51st floor?”
First? That mysterious team?!
After saying these words in a calm tone, Argo felt secretly happy when he saw everyone's shocked reactions and the shocked eyes that looked at him.
She has been waiting for this day since she was frightened by Ji Xing. The taste of rats pretending to be tigers is really great. My Treasure Hunting Rat Guild has stood up!
She also waved her hand and said: "Go out quickly, don't waste everyone's time, or if you pay me 100 million col for information now, you can stay and listen with everyone."
"You, you, you..." Kibaou stammered a few words and said angrily: "Are you trying to unite with those guys to destroy the friendship of the strategy team?! Why don't they show up? They're just pretending!"
"I didn't let them come." Argo smiled playfully: "It's just to not destroy the friendship of the strategy team. You don't know it yet, because you asked them to hand over a 'powerful secret' last time, and they had no idea what they were planning to do.
I was able to kill you in the wild without you noticing, but I was the one who stopped you."
Kibaou's face turned green.
Argo continued: "Oh, by the way, they might be angry if I share the information with you for free. So for the sake of the strategy team, in order not to conflict with them, and for the sake of the strategy for the Mysterious Tower, you'd better get out quickly.
The overall situation is the most important thing, right, everyone?"
Kibaou felt like he had been morally kidnapped.
You Gu coughed twice: "In that case, Kibaou, why don't you go outside for a while first?"
"……snort!"
Seeing several people leaving angrily, the players in the strategy group looked at each other and wanted to laugh.
"Argo, you are so awesome." Asuna praised directly.
Argo has a small body and a tall body. The 18-year-old girl is rich and generous. When Shijima Koharu, who was worried about Kiriko, asked, she breathed her last and stopped holding the aircraft exhibition.
"Well, let's get down to business first. Ai is very dangerous, especially the state of the one inside Kiriko's body. It is already a situation that must be dealt with."
…
'The bigger the wish is fulfilled, the more desire will accumulate in Ai's body, and will be released as a disaster the next time he acts coquettishly.'
"Except for the first time, the content of Ai's coquettishness towards Yugiru was just to ask for a piece of paper, a candy, and a glass of water, because the last wish he fulfilled was just to give Negishi Yoshiyuki a hug."
'But after Fujino Kazuo made a wish to become the strongest player, the desire accumulated in its body has reached a certain scale. The next act of coquettishness is likely to require a heart and a brain, which cannot be completed.
content.
And once you reject it four times, the person being spoiled will die on the spot, and people related to the person being spoiled will be killed according to the degree of desire.’
'In other words, if Kiriko wakes up and acts coquettishly towards Koharu, the outcome will most likely be the total annihilation of your team, and the death of friends such as Yugiru and Kirito too!'
Carrying the unconscious Kiriko, thinking back to Argo's story, Negishi Yoshiyuki couldn't help but feel fear, he almost...
This creature is so terrifying.
The scary thing is not that the ability to fulfill wishes is "infinite in the conventional sense", but that the price is not paid back to the person who made the wish.
If the next person picks up her act of coquettishness, the wish-maker will be more likely to lose control of her desires.
If you make a huge wish, the price of repayment may wipe out all players!
With such a big threat, naturally some people proposed to 'remove' the fog. At this moment, Negishi Yoshiyuki was also thankful that someone could solve it...
"Huh? This road on the 49th floor..."
At this time, Kodaisuke's strange whisper woke him up from his daze. Only then did Negishi Yoshiyuki realize that they who followed Argo had unknowingly arrived at a familiar place.
"Someone will guess this later, and he didn't want to hide it." Argo smiled and nodded: "Ji Xing is also a member of that team and my Treasure Hunter Guild, and serves as the liaison between them."
Several people were slightly shocked, thinking about Ji Xing's special telekinesis ability, exaggerated cooking skills, exaggerated figure, exaggerated majesty as the dean...
Not that surprising.
"Leave it to me. Those guys don't want to see you, so I'll carry Wuzi in." Argo said again.
Negishi Yoshiyuki, who had known it for a long time, nodded: "Please, Argo!"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Argo, with the fog on his back, waved his hands calmly, concealing his inner expectations and nervousness - it was also the first time for me to see the other members of that mysterious team.
Hold it, hold it, don't pretend!
Knocking directly on the door and entering Ji Xing's home, she saw Ji Xing sitting on the sofa not far away and motioned her to carry Wuzi over. Argo closed the door, poked his head around like a devil entering a village, and asked in a low voice:
"Are they in the bedroom?"
"Where is there anyone else?" Ji Xing smiled.
"...Huh?" Argo was stunned and said with wide eyes: "Only you? Can your ability solve the problem? Then you were so mysterious to me, I thought everyone in your team was here!"
"Isn't this just in line with your pretense?" Ji Xing gestured to the communication crystal: "It proves that you have a strong relationship."
"What, what kind of pretense..." Argo said with a trace of embarrassment: "It's so ugly, I just used the opportunity to beat up a few annoying guys... Well, this won't make your friends unhappy, right?"
"It's okay, keep working hard from now on." Ji Xing looked at Wuzi who was placed on the sofa by her, showed a gentle smile and said: "Come out, let's talk.
Among the five members of the legendary brave team, only you are possessed by Kiriko. You didn’t even show up when Eugene’s team arrived nearby. There must be a certain demand for possessed objects, and a carrier like Kiriko is probably not good.
try to find.
You don’t want to die, you don’t want to give up, you don’t dare to act coquettishly towards me, and you can’t kill me even if you make a wish… Then you only have the choice to listen to my conditions.”
Huh? Argo blinked and suddenly felt an indescribable aura from Ji Xing.
And this ‘solution’ seems different from what you imagined?
The next moment, Wuzi's face changed, the dark eye holes and black lips reappeared, the whole person darkened, she sat up and sat opposite Ji Xing with her hands on her knees.
"Would you like to hear my request?"
"Ai Yi - you can't bully me."
Argo:???
Have we really negotiated?
"It's not too much, two options." Ji Xing said with a gentle expression: "The first option is that you leave Wuzi's body and attach to me, this way..."
"Two, two, two, I want to hear two!"
"..."
Ji Xing shook his head helplessly: "It has nothing to do with my attitude and thoughts. Is it innate to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages for powerful beings? Then forget it."
"No Ai, you have no desire -" Ai said in a calm tone.
"Oh, is that the reason? I see, I just said I'm not that scary. But how could you not have desire? It's just that you're not strong enough to feel it." Ji Xing suddenly said.
"Then the second condition is three requirements. First, you can stay in Asakura Kiriko's body, but you must communicate with her. Just like her Nen ability, assuming the role of a 'Nen beast', only
You can only show up when she agrees."
"Second, you cannot answer a wish that exceeds the specification. The so-called super specification means that your next act of coquettishness will become something that the next person will never be able to complete. You should understand this. Including the previous one's 'become the strongest player'
'Wish, you also want to clear it, you should be able to do it, right?"
"Third, give me a little bit of your ability to feel it, all at once. If you treat this as a wish, it should be possible, right?"
Argo was stunned. Isn't this different from what was promised? Instead of killing it, just keep it? Is this good? "Ji Xing, you..."
"It's okay, it's a good thing." Ji Xing smiled and said: "Although I made a little decision on my own, I have already served as the parent of the players, and it is not too much to make this decision on the grounds of 'for their own good'."
What do you mean? For whom?
After a moment of silence, Ai said in a long voice, seemingly slightly unhappy: "Okay-"
If it had known that Ji Xing, the 'strongest player', would not possess Wuzi, it would have sensed that Ji Xing had the ability to actually kill it, and with its wisdom, it would have had no better choice.
A ray of dim light penetrated into Ji Xing's body.
Ji Xing closed his eyes slightly to feel.
There are two states of Ai. One is when it is pure, and it accumulates emotions by acting coquettishly.
Then emotions are exchanged for desires, turned into the carrier state of desires, and desires are released wantonly through destruction and destruction, returning to purity.
To complete the most powerful agreement with the purest oath, Ji Xing doubted that the founder of the idea had any reference to the form of life.
Pure, clean.
I also want to be clean.
Under the gaze of the confused Argo, Ji Xing, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly became ethereal at this moment. His whole figure seemed to fade away and disappear. The expression on his face was so relaxed that she seemed to be able to leave behind just by looking at it.
All worries!
When Ji Xing opened her eyes, this feeling disappeared. She called out again uneasily: "Ji Xing? Are you... okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I just realized a new telekinesis ability."
Ability to read (wishes): Excellent (Level 1) (500/1000)
In some fairy novels, Buddhism has a saying about establishing great aspirations, and the ability created by Ji Xing at this moment is a quick version of establishing great aspirations!
Make a wish to yourself, and all the abilities used to fulfill the wish will be improved, while all other abilities will be reduced!
For example, in the battle with Toguro Ludi, if Ji Xing increases his strength by 50% with the wish of "killing Toguro Ludi", then other cooking, forging and other abilities will be reduced by 5% until Ji Xing
Only when the star fulfills its wish will everything be restored.
It seems like the cost is very low, but in fact it involves big risks. Desires cannot be cleared, and if they are not completed, they will continue to accumulate on you.
If he had not killed Toguro Luidi, Ji Xing would have only gained 50% of the strength increase when fighting Toguro Luidi, and the negative, all-round 5% weakening would be permanently with him!
Just like Ai, making a wish steadily is a magical skill. Making a wish that exceeds the standard will bring huge disaster to oneself!
So first...
"The wishing ability (person) is upgraded! The efficiency of practicing the ability (person) is increased by 50%, and all other aspects are weakened by 5%!"
In an instant, Ji Xing's mind was slightly obscured, except for the ability to read (people) in his mind and body, which was extremely clear and overwhelming!
Vast mental power expanded around him, and instantly turned into a beam of light and rushed out of his house!
Outside the courtyard, the four people of Negishi Yoshiyuki, who were waiting anxiously, looked at each other in surprise, come again?!
Only Argo knew that this incomprehensible energy came from Ji Xing! Was it Ai's help? No, no, Ji Xing was weird from beginning to end today, this guy, this guy?!
Intelligence analysis capabilities are operating at full capacity.
The brain had a slight malfunction and was smoking.
"You, you, you..." When she looked back at the surging thoughts, she stared at Ji Xing and couldn't stop stammering: "Are you me?!"
Ji Xing raised his eyebrows: "Of course, there has never been a mysterious team, only me, president."
The ability to show off, KO!
The world view of Argo has been refreshed. Didn’t I watch you enter the mysterious tower?!
Ji Xing opened the information bar and smiled with satisfaction - Nian ability (human): extremely (level 10) (full level) → (level 11) (???)
How can human limits and my limits be judged by just the attributes of a mysterious tower?!
