Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 25 Surrounded by Wolves
Since Xiao Yaro had already encountered unusual creatures, Pakhtz couldn't be sure if Xiao Yaro's learning of mystical knowledge had reached its current limit. For safety reasons, he stopped selecting knowledge from the library.

The black cat lost its job as a result, but it was not disappointed. Instead, it took the opportunity to say goodbye to Xiao Yaluo, saying that it had some urgent business to attend to.

As a result, they have a lot more free time.

Xiao Yaluo's daily task now is to look at the scroll painting for half an hour every morning.

Every day, the first thing I do when I see the painting of the evil god is feel a sinking feeling in my heart and a loss of strength in my body.

But after watching for a long time, Xiao Yaluo felt his spirits gradually decline. After each viewing, he felt like he had depression, lost interest in everything, and felt inexplicably depressed.

He wasn't a real child; he knew the importance of mental health and, without hesitation, immediately consulted his grandfather, fully explaining his emotional fluctuations.

'Evil God' is the most dangerous and bizarre thing. Although Pahez insisted that Xiao Yaluo look at the evil god painting, he did not dare to be careless. These past few days, he has been following behind Xiao Yaluo like an ordinary old man, happily taking care of his naughty grandson.

"Little Yaluo, don't worry, this is normal mental exertion. When ordinary people expend a lot of mental energy, it will cause emotional depression. This is because there is a conflict between your mental energy and your body's perception."

Is there any solution?

Depression is difficult to express in words, but the feeling of emotional repression is truly like a fishbone stuck in your throat, making even breathing painful.

"exercise!"

"Mental strength is closely related to the body. Physical exercise can quickly stimulate mental strength. After the physical strength is exhausted, a good night's rest will restore mental strength the next day."

"However, you must remember that because you viewed the scroll of the evil god, your mental energy has already been greatly depleted. Intense exercise will also deplete your mental energy. If you do not control the degree well, it may cause your mental energy to weaken further. It is best to control the degree yourself."

……

Can't I do strenuous exercise?
Can you control the scale yourself?

What's the difference between what you're describing and how Chinese food is prepared?
Small amount, appropriate amount, large amount, about the same?

What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?
However, when it comes to exercise, Xiao Yaluo becomes quite interested.

These past few days I've been so engrossed in viewing the scroll of the evil god that I haven't had time to harvest my lovely 'crops'!
Considering the need for a 'appropriate amount', Xiao Yaluo decided to 'harvest' them one by one first.

After 'harvesting' the tenth 'lucky one,' Xiao Yalu's heart began to pound.

No experience tips or hints appeared?

Is it because the individual 'lucky one' is too weak?

Looking at the few remaining 'crops', he could only console himself.

That makes sense. In the past, I would only get a few experience points after harvesting a bunch of 'crops'. This time, I probably won't get a notification until the 'battle' is over.

Harvesting alone would be much more laborious.

Previously, the surrounding area was full of 'crops', and Xiao Yaluo only needed to raise his 'scythe' to harvest them quickly. When there were not many left, he could just chase after them a couple more times.

Now, even though their physical abilities are far inferior to Xiao Yaluo's in all aspects, they have room to move around, and with the intention of delaying, each of them has made Xiao Yaluo expend a lot more energy.

Although the final result was as expected, it certainly left Xiao Yalu exhausted.

Already feeling down, Xiao Yaluo waited for a long time but still didn't see any experience notifications from the system. Looking at the children lying on the ground, laughing and talking happily, he felt even more depressed.

What a waste!
This is a shameful waste!

"I gave you a chance to beat me, and this is how you perform? You still have the nerve to laugh? Get up, all of you, and run ten laps!"

Hearing the wailing of the crops, Xiao Yalu felt a little better.

Sure enough, I couldn't suppress my pain; I had to let it out as soon as possible.

Looking at the little kids jumping and running around in pain, Xiao Yaluo revealed a pleased smile.

The experienced Pachz immediately noticed the abnormality and quickly reminded him, "Little Yaro, don't get carried away with violence, keep your senses!"

Xiao Yalu frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "How is this violence? I just made them exercise more. Grandfather, aren't you exaggerating?"

"Examine your own heart, little Yaro!"

Pacherz looked ahead coldly and said in a low voice, "Not only can you train them, I even allow you to dissect them at any time!"

"As long as you have this need, and it's not for pleasing yourself!"

"Anatomy?!"

Xiao Yalu felt a strange longing in his heart, but he quickly came to his senses and recalled what he had just heard. He immediately turned his head and looked at his grandfather in horror.

"Grandfather...you were joking just now, weren't you?"

"Are you awake?"

Pachz smiled slightly and answered irrelevantly, "Little Yaro, you must remember that wizards are never cruel worshippers. Don't let external emotions affect you."

Xiao Yalu looked at his grandfather with a complicated expression. His grandfather remained calm, with a faint smile on his lips.

"do you understand?"

Xiao Yalu pursed his lips and nodded blankly.

"Understood, go take your lunch break now,"

Pacher advised, "You're not in the best mental state right now. It's not too late to exercise this afternoon after you've rested."

Xiao Yalu did not refuse and turned to walk towards a stone house.

Because Xiao Yaluo's emotions have been unstable lately, it's best for him to get plenty of sunshine every day. His grandfather specially arranged a house for him at the Knights' residence, and he has been living there with his grandfather these days.

In the past, Xiao Yaluo's unstable emotions were simply because he had seen too many paintings of evil gods. Only now did he truly feel lost from the depths of his heart.

He could sense that his grandfather truly did not care about the lives of those children.

Even though those children were all descendants and juniors of his retainer knights. Even though his grandfather had long ago planted a contingency plan on his retainer knights, he had no fear of them rebelling thanks to his uncanny methods.

Yaro glanced at his grandfather's profile; his expression remained as calm as ever.

"Does Grandfather truly have no reverence for the lives of others?"

Thinking of the lab benches in the laboratory, still stained with blood, a chill that had never been felt before suddenly enveloped Xiao Yaluo.

He knew from the past that his values, shaped by a peaceful country, might differ from those of people in this world.

But this is just a judgment, a speculation.

Only now did he truly realize the intense impact of this difference in values!
accurate?

kill?

This isn't the simple feeling I had when reading novels in my past life!

Before me are vibrant lives!
Just like the keyboard warrior in Xiao Yaluo's previous life.

Spitting in public?
kill!

Swearing to someone's face?
kill!

A mischievous child pressed the elevator floor buttons on every floor?

kill!

……

He kills people at the drop of a hat, as if he's the best in the world.

But what if such a person really appeared, or even stood right next to those who spout nonsense?
Anger is only temporary. After calming down, many people will reflect on whether their actions in anger were excessive.

Has anyone ever thought about what would happen if everyone around them thought the same way they do when they're angry?

He is easily angered and explosive, and is prone to killing!
critical!
Little Yaro felt a sense of crisis he had never experienced before!

It's like being surrounded by wolves; who knows when a careless remark might provoke someone's murderous intent?

I can't stay young forever, can I?
I can't stay under my family's protection forever, can I?

How to do?
strength!

Reading is about enabling yourself to speak calmly with others; strength is about enabling others to speak calmly with you!
Compared to the people in this world, Xiao Yaluo thought his values ​​were a little too peaceful!

Therefore, one must possess the power to make others peaceful as well, so that their values ​​can align with one's own!
Only then can you make what you see and hear comfortable!
Only then can I survive!

Only then can we preserve this rare second life!

Lying in bed, Xiao Yaluo remained steadfast in her goal, adjusted her breathing, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

……

After that, Xiao Yalu set even higher standards for himself.

However, in simple physical training, how can one person's progress compare to that of a group of people?

Even though he increased his demands on himself, it gradually became more difficult to gain experience, even though the benefits of gaining experience were gradually increasing.

Seeing the increasing bruises on Xiao Yaluo's body, Pahez never said much, but silently prepared medicine for the wounds, and sometimes even personally performed healing magic on Xiao Yaluo.

With so many sparring partners, Xiao Yaluo gained a deeper understanding of 'Cat-Shaped Fist - Running', and his skill reached an advanced level, but that doesn't mean he had completely reached his limit.

Just as everyone has roughly the same level of hearing, a trained person can determine a person's direction, height, and weight with just a few sounds, and can even tell from the weight whether they are carrying a weapon.

Xiao Yalu possesses the 'Advanced Cat-Shaped Fist - Running,' which is equivalent to developing a new 'hearing ability.' However, it still requires practice to fully utilize its potential.

Through long-term sparring with these young knights, he gained a deeper understanding of his own skills. Even though these young knights were also improving rapidly, they were still suppressed by him, and he continued to gain experience.

After discovering that the stronger the young knights were, the more experience he could gain, Xiao Yalu had a new idea.

Once he felt that the young knights' strength had grown enough, Xiao Yalu began to ask them to train with him in weaponry.

Holding a weapon naturally makes one more powerful than when unarmed.

Knights do focus primarily on muscle training, but they do have ways of using weapons; it's just that these methods aren't very important to them.

After all, once a knight's level is quickly raised and a powerful life seed is obtained, the way the weapon is used in training may soon undergo a huge change.

However, without the correct way to use weapons, even the most powerful knight is just a human crane, and may even injure himself due to improper use of weapons during combat!
Faced with Xiao Yaluo's request, the knights naturally dared not refuse.

After the children had trained for a while, Xiao Yalu had them all put on leather armor and carry unsharpened weapons before fighting him.

At this point, it became more difficult for Xiao Yaluo to gain experience, but the experience points he ultimately gained also saw a significant increase.

Moreover, he has not stopped looking at the scrolls depicting evil gods.

However, because they have clear goals and have experience of being misled.

The daily harvesting process constantly depletes my physical strength, leaving me with no energy or mood to think about anything else.

The joy of the harvest ultimately helped him resist the spiritual temptation of the evil god's painting.
