Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 22 I Don’t Know How to Lose

Under the influence of Yuan Qingzhuo's verbal attacks and martial arts will, at least Hydra no longer thought about using his own life and the life of this world to explore the way and obtain information.

Now the two people's apparent goals are very clear and consistent.

——Eliminate the evil and save the world.

Needless to say, if Hydra is the only one left who can complete the Hardship difficulty, the mission rewards will come in large quantities.

By then, it is not impossible to punch or kick the captain.

As for Yuan Qingzhuo...there was nothing he could do about it.

If he waits until the evil demons multiply infinitely and destroy the world as described in the post, then there will be no point in playing.

"So, the key now is Susie?"

Yuan Qingzhuo poked Susie's cheek as she sat on his lap with his finger. He couldn't tell whether the child was still in a bad mood, so it was always a good idea to coax her more.

Susie's little head was filled with big doubts.

Just when she was thinking about why the two people who were happily eating at the same table just now suddenly became hostile to each other.

——Yuan Qingzhuo and Hydra had reconciled, and then turned the topic to himself.

"Just give me an example and you will understand her importance."

Hydra smiled and made two V signs. It was hard to imagine that she was the same person as the socially anxious person who didn’t dare to take off her hood before: “You are Gojo Satoru, and she is Xiaohu who hasn’t swallowed her finger yet.”

"Byd, you're cursing me, right? I won't put a sign like 'We will win' on my back before a battle."

Yuan Qingzhuo held Susie's little head in his hands and fell into deep thought: "I understand that the version is to strengthen Susie, but what is the function of the kettle?"

If there is no Lamp of Misery, the kettle will only serve as a prop to start the main quest.

But with the lantern in hand, Hydra can try to use it to call upon the Kettle replica in the Imperial City, and thus summon the Empire's full support.

"Tell the Empire that I am a hero."

"You are a brave man with hair."

Yuan Qingzhuo complained subconsciously, but he immediately realized that Susie was still on his lap, so he coughed twice: "If even you can be a hero, then I am...?"

High emotional intelligence: You are a brave person, but it is unlikely that you are a brave person, and you use promises to implicitly show your emotions.

Low emotional intelligence: Go away, you noob.

"Are you a player?"

"I'm not."

"Then stop barking, we the players are the boss!"

Hydra rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, which made Susie stunned for a moment, as if the door to a new world had opened.

"Only players who have cleared the [Purgatory] difficulty of this world can trigger its hidden effect after touching the kettle - let the imperial capital know that the hero has arrived."

Hydra said casually: "I am just an incompetent person. I have only completed the game three times."

"Then the Empire will fully assist us in suppressing the evil demons?"

Yuan Qingzhuo's eyes lit up and he added.

"Originally this wouldn't work in [Misery] because the world has already been destroyed, but we have the Misery Lantern!"

Hydra, who was talking more and more excitedly, suddenly frowned, let go of the lantern and put it on the table.

Then the world outside the range of candlelight returned to its dilapidated state again.

"The only question now is whether the 'phantom of the past' that I saw after holding the lantern is real - I can't tell, I really can't tell!"

Amidst Hydra's strange screams, Yuan Qingzhuo reached out to hold the lantern, and saw his own terrifying appearance with hundreds of hands and thousands of fingers in the reflection of the lampshade. Then he let go, put down the lantern, and held the lovely Susie in his hands.

Yuan Qingzhuo gave an affirmative answer: "Without a doubt, it is true."

"Whether it is the world that has long since died or the world we see when you hold the lantern, both worlds are real."

So Hydra did not doubt him and held up the lantern: "Then revive, my imperial army!"

With firm affirmation, he could completely replicate the "Empire Speed ​​Pass" that he had practiced in the [Purgatory] difficulty - that is, using the high status of a player who had cleared the high difficulty level several times, he could directly obtain the Empire's help in exterminating the Beiyuan evil demons that had not yet flooded.

Although all the previous favorability has been lost, the black robe on Hydra is not a cheap piece of clothing.

As long as she puts it on herself, people who have never seen her will not be affected by the "favorability -10000" at all.

At that time she was called a hero.

As for Hydra? Sorry, I'm not familiar with it.

The advantage of this school is that the imperial army can reach Ranri Ka in less than a month if it starts at full speed, and can directly fill up the Unfrozen River and cross the Beiyuan, using hundreds of thousands of imperial troops to fight against the seed-stage demons.

The disadvantage is that the rewards are extremely small. Not to mention that you can't open side quests, even the completion level of the main quests is just barely enough to pass.

But what else do you need a bicycle for if you want to be the first to clear the Hardship difficulty?

This time, the advantage is mine when the dragon hits my face.

Even Hydra couldn't figure out how to lose!

"That should be done without further delay, Susie, fetch the kettle to summon Imperial reinforcements!"

Yuan Qingzhuo seemed to have seen a bright future beckoning to him.

"Get the kettle!"

Susie, who was placed back on the ground, looked around at the two guys who had just started shouting "world destruction", "true or false world", and "Empire Hero", and felt genuinely helpless.

Even though her mother predicted the appearance of monsters, Susie didn't believe that they could destroy the empire.

That's the Empire, any great knight can smash a boulder with his bare hands.

And Susie had seen a large organized phalanx of knights.

How could such a powerful country be destroyed by monsters that only existed in legends and characters?
He even said that his kettle, which had been gathering dust for a long time and was completely useless, could summon reinforcements from the empire...

Really, there has to be a limit to chuunibyou.

Susie walked quickly towards the uninhabited warehouse in her home - yes, the location of the kettle she had just told Hydra was also wrong.

Soon, Susie brought out a blue stainless steel kettle.

Yuan Qingzhuo took it under Hydra's eager eyes, his face darkening slightly.

[A rotten kettle: A kettle that many people had high hopes for. There seems to be something engraved on the bottom of the kettle, but it can no longer be seen due to the wear and tear of time.]

The prefix of the kettle is not any of the three: "hopeful", "ordinary" or "dilapidated".

This is not a good thing. At least it means that Suffering is fundamentally different from other difficulties. The strategies and experiences on Hydra and Tieba posts cannot be fully trusted.

Yuan Qingzhuo said nothing and handed the kettle to the impatient Hydra.

The latter's expression suddenly changed, leaving Susie, who had seen it all, somewhat puzzled - did she not wipe the dust clean?
Oh!
Susie suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she had drawn patterns on the bottom of a kettle with stones... This was really embarrassing.

Just as Susie was daydreaming, the kettle touched by Hydra's fingertips lit up slightly.

It lit up the pupils of the three people.
