Chapter 99: Only Alive Only Output (5 More Monthly Tickets)
In the dilapidated basement, on a luxurious sofa that was completely out of place, Lu Qiming opened a magic book and started reading it softly.
"There are two types of magic. One is the innate system that has qualities due to race, and the other is the acquired system that is inspired by the grace of God. The acquired system of magic is simply self-realization and interest in something.
Identity, desire..."
As Lu Qiming read, the words in the magic book began to disappear, and an inexplicable power appeared to guide the power deep in Lu Qiming's heart.
The next second, Lu Qiming's vision went dark, and the surrounding scenery turned into black and white. A person who looked like him appeared opposite him, with a wanton smile on his face.
"Then let's begin!"
Black and white Lu Qiming walked up to Lu Qiming and pressed his body on his heart.
"To me, what is magic...?"
"One of the ways to survive!"
Lu Qiming looked at himself across from him, and in his mind came the hesitation, confusion, and fear when he first traveled through the city. When he entered the dungeon and killed monsters for the first time, his rationality collapsed. As the battle's original three views gradually shattered, he was recast...
....What keeps forcing you to keep fighting even like this?
Is it because I am unwilling to be abandoned by the system in this world? Or do I long for unparalleled power? Or do I find that my dream of being a middle school student can be realized, or do I find that I have come to a place where I could only watch through the screen?
Watching their sad and laughing world, I can now participate and change...
No!
Although the above are all things he desires, the most important thing is that he wants to live!
In this strange, dangerous world or an unknown world in the future, you want to survive, and strength is the guarantee of your survival!
"What does magic look like to me?"
Opposite him, black and white Lu Qiming raised the corner of his mouth and continued to ask.
"Vitality, defense, attack! Let me have vitality that can be restored no matter what the injury, unparalleled defense, and powerful attack power!"
"My quest for magic?"
"The power to survive no matter what the situation!"
"As expected of me, I am so afraid of death!"
"That's me! Aren't you?"
In the black and white space, Lu Qiming laughed wantonly and looked at himself opposite.
"As expected of me!"
The next second, the black and white space turned into a starry sky, and the self on the opposite side turned into a ray of light and merged into Lu Qiming's body.
At the moment when Lu Qiming's magic awakened, the mechanical sound of Yu Jie sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host [adventurer] for his professional magic awakening: 'Only when you are alive can you have output' (passive): 1: The essence of life has changed, transformed into magical life, and no longer needs oxygen and food to maintain life.
Two: The magic power is doubled, and the magic power is converted into vitality before the life force is exhausted, until the magic power is exhausted.
Three: The body extends a defensive 'position', possessing the same defense as magic power and vitality. The host body will not be harmed until it breaks through the stance. If it is hurt, 30% of the soul will be re-injured, and the body will suffer double damage."
"Is this my magic?"
On the sofa, Lu Qiming looked at his hands in disbelief. The magic originally born from the spirit has now been completely integrated into his body. His flesh, blood, internal organs, bones and even every cell are full of magic.
And it can be said that either the bloody night flowing through me is magic power, or I don't know what it is emitting... I'll ask Sister Tia and the others to study it tonight...
Then, Lu Qiming picked up Hestia's fruit-cutting knife on the table, pointed it at his fingers, and cut it hard.
Click!
The next second, the fruit knife shattered into pieces, and even the handle in Lu Qiming's hand couldn't avoid it.
"Does this count as me wearing a suit of thorn armor?"
Lu Qiming looked at his completely undamaged fingers. From his perception of his own stance, there was no damage at all. This was probably because even if he didn't turn on the physical strength of his stance, the knife wouldn't be able to cut his skin.
‘I’ll try to find some monsters in the dungeon tomorrow’
Later, Lu Qiming began to study his 'position'. After his observation, he found that this thing was usually in his body and would not affect his daily life. It would only appear when he was attacked.
"System, am I still a human being now?"
Lu Qiming held his breath as he spoke, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all. His body now no longer needs oxygen to breathe, and his desire for food is completely gone. Although his appetite has not been affected, it has
Food is no longer needed to stay alive.
"Ding!....According to the host's spiritual self-perception, it is still a human being in a broad sense...."
"Okay, anyway, as long as I still think that I am a human being, and I still have a human form, who can say that I am not a human being!"
Lu Qiming listened to the reply in his mind. He was stunned for a moment and then stopped caring. Anyway, his own consciousness has not changed, so he is still a human being.
At this time, Lu Qiming raised his head and looked at the entrance of the basement. Two figures, one tall and one short, walked in.
"Teacher Qiming, we are back. Is Master Shangshen here?"
Bell looked at Lu Qiming sitting on the luxurious sofa, and felt that something had changed in Lu Qiming after not seeing him for half a day, but he couldn't tell.
"Master Shangshen has gone to work. Bell, do you have anything to do with Master Shangshen? And you brought Lily back with you?"
Lu Qiming looked at Lily curiously. Lily usually returned directly to her family after returning to Orila with Bell.
"Teacher Qiming is like this..."
Bell told Lu Qiming everything that happened today and about Lily, while Lily looked at Lu Qiming with a worried look on her face, fearing that he would make Bell give up on her.
"That is to say, today because of Lilibel, you got rid of another group of scum. Lili also told you how she was going to deceive you, and then you chose to forgive her, right?"
Lu Qiming walked up to the two of them and looked at them expressionlessly.
"Yes, Teacher Qiming."
"It's all my fault. Lord Qiming, please don't punish Lord Bell!"
Lily looked at the expressionless Lu Qiming, and thought of his ruthless approach to his enemies, her body couldn't help but start to tremble, but she still stood in front of Bell and took all the blame on herself.
"Well done!"
Lu Qiming looked at Lily who was standing in front of Bell, a smile appeared on her expressionless face, and he gently stroked their heads with his hands.
"well?"
"Lord Qiming, don't you blame me for deceiving Lord Bell?"
Lily raised her head and looked at Lu Qiming, her face full of joy and confusion.
"Lily, do you know? In fact, I knew you cheated on Bell when I first met you, but why didn't I say anything?"
Lu Qiming turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down. He patted his side and asked them to come over.
"Lord Qiming, you knew it the first time...why didn't you expose me..."
Not only Lily, but also Bell looked at Lu Qiming doubtfully.
"Because Lily, you are a good child. Although you have gone astray temporarily, I believe that you are not bad in nature, and aren't the adventurers who were killed by you all trash?"
