Chapter 242 Feeding Play and Precious Visualization Method

After suppressing the expected resistance of the female general, Fang Yi said with a stern face and some impatience.

"You can only stay in this state for a limited time, so I need to treat you now.

“Listen to me and follow me.

"First thing, open your mouth and eat."

Seeing that the female general did not respond for a while, she seemed not very cooperative.

Fang Yi first brought out a bowl of broth and a piece of steak from the coffee table next to him and placed them beside him, then pinched the female general's nose.

In just a few seconds, the somewhat uncooperative female general was forced to open her mouth under Fang Yi's actions.

Under the weak but unfriendly gaze of the female general, Fang Yi scooped up the broth, blew on it to confirm that the temperature was appropriate, and then forced it down the female general's throat.

Then he forced the cut meat into the female general's mouth and said in a bad tone, "Chew it and swallow it."

The female general swallowed subconsciously, and felt the melt-in-your-mouth steak and broth quickly penetrate into her stomach like a needle finding a gap, bringing a warm touch.

After the food entered the stomach, the taste buds on the tongue, like a slow-reacting old lady, fed back the evaluation of the food to the female general's brain - 'Food that has never been so delicious'.

*
Along with the sound of taking the food, there was also a reminder sound in the female general's ear.

[You consumed an unnamed consumable, gaining a temporary buff that significantly increases your mental recovery speed for a short period of time, and moderately increases your physical recovery speed.]

After the space prompt sounded, the female general felt that the narrow nail embedded in her brain seemed to be pulled out a little.

Although she still felt a dull pain, she no longer felt the tearing headache.

Although the female general, who had regained consciousness a little, still felt ashamed and angry about having her hands and feet held down and her body controlled by a man, she felt more grateful for the man's righteousness.

Even a [Minister] wouldn't give out something of this value easily, yet he used it on me without hesitation. I should...

Before the female general could express her gratitude, she heard the man's somewhat cold voice again.

“Follow me.

"I agree to the following terms and conditions.

"I will pay [my physical recovery speed will be significantly slowed for one day.] as the price.

"In exchange for [a significant increase in mental recovery speed over the next period of time.]"

The female general blinked, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe the other party and followed his words.

After the female general finished repeating this passage, she heard a prompt tone in her ear, and then she felt that the nail in her brain that was causing her severe pain had been completely removed.

The pain in her head that was about to make her explode suddenly stopped, leaving only a slight pain.

Obviously, as long as the female general practices the [Ice Soul Concentration Visualization Method] for a period of time again, she will be able to quickly recover from the sequelae of overdrawing her mental power.

After doing all this, Fang Yi added a few words tiredly.

"Remember to eat the steaks and drink the broth on time to continue the benefits brought by these foods and maintain the existence of this contract.

“There is enough firewood for fuel to keep the temperature up.

"I'm a little tired. This house is guarded by one of my companions, so it's safe."

After explaining the relevant matters, Fang Yi sat next to the female general and fell asleep leaning on the armrest.

Obviously, the cost of launching two [Bindings] in a short period of time brought him a considerable burden, and he needed to take a break.
-
After Fang Yi activated the [Binding] 'Loan' again, the female general regained her ability to think and act. She first wiped the residual liquid from the corner of the other party's mouth when he force-fed her, and then looked around.

The female general felt that her body had never been so cold, so much so that she subconsciously tightened her body.

However, a moment later, she suddenly realized that she was already near the fireplace.

[Is the price to be paid for that contract so great? ]

When she turned around, she saw the firewood neatly stacked around the fireplace and several steaming meals on the coffee table.

Obviously, these were all preparations made by Fang Yi.

The female general looked at the man who was sleeping on the armrest of the sofa beside her, with a complicated expression on her face.

“You’re the first person to pinch my nose and force-feed me.

"That's really bold and rude. In the past, I would have killed someone like that, but if it's you, I will..."

The female general's voice became lower and lower. After mumbling a few words that only she could hear, she awkwardly opened the panel and checked the previous prompts.

Then, the female general saw these two prompts.

"You are affected by the skill [Binding] activated by someone else. Your mental recovery speed is greatly increased, and you will wake up within one minute. The cost of this [Binding] has been paid by the initiator."

"You are affected by the skill [Binding] activated by someone else. Your mental recovery speed is greatly increased. The price of this [Binding] will be borne by you. "
-
The female general propped herself up, sat on the sofa and touched the sleeping man's face, and found that his face was as cold as her body.

The cold touch made the female general's heart move, and it also verified her guess.

“Sure enough, you paid the price for accelerating my mental recovery?

"We are just strangers who have known each other for a few minutes. This is not your fault, but you are able to lend me a helping hand.

"You're actually being helped by someone I consider a 'weakling'. You're truly a nobody."

The female general stared at the man's face, but she couldn't speak the words.

At this moment, Esdeath, who believed in the idea of ​​'survival of the fittest, only the strong are qualified to survive', sensed something different from this man that she did not agree with.

Instead of satisfying her empty, food-craving stomach immediately, she stared at the man's face for several minutes.

The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. She had never felt that a man was as charming as Fang Yi.

"I can't let a person like this get away. He must become my supporter. To gain his support, I can make certain concessions and compromises."

The female general, who had finalized her policy on treating men, picked up Fang Yi's body and adjusted his position on the sofa.

She moved Fang Yi's original position to the position she originally occupied, which was closer to the fireplace. Then she took off the man's coat and covered the man with it.

After eating several servings of food to fill her empty stomach, the female general stared at the flickering flames in the fireplace in a daze for several minutes.

Afterwards, the female general, who was about to do something, suddenly realized that she had leaned her body against the man without realizing it.

The female general blushed first and pulled her body away instantly.

After sensing that the man had not woken up and there was no one else in the hall, she leaned back.

After leaning against the cart for a few more minutes and absorbing some of the 'Fang Yi energy', the female general looked at the other ingredients on the cart and decided what to do for the man.
-
A few minutes later, Fang Yi was awakened by the gurgling sound of boiling liquid.

He raised his heavy head and slowly sat up. Noticing an extra piece of clothing on his body, he also saw the female general stewing something beside him.

As if she had noticed Fang Yi waking up, the female general scooped up a bowl of soup with a small bowl, picked up a few pieces of meat, picked up a spoon and held the bowl, and appeared in front of Fang Yi in two steps.

The female general's delicate face showed a gentleness that Fang Yi had never seen before, and there was also a hint of expression that Fang Yi could not describe.

Before Fang Yi could react, the female general's words reached Fang Yi's ears.

"Open your mouth and eat.

“Listen to me while you eat.

"I have something to teach you that can solve your spiritual problems."

Glancing at the female general's hand that was eager to pinch his nose, and hearing her words of "an eye for an eye", Fang Yi immediately chose to cooperate.

Looking at the very cooperative man, the female general, feeling a little regretful, picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of soup and food, blew on it, and then began to feed Fang Yi.

After feeding two bowls of food and Fang Yi indicating that it was enough, the female general reluctantly put down the bowl in her hand and began to explain the essence of her [Ice Soul Concentration Visualization Method].

A few minutes later, looking at Fang Yi who was silent and unresponsive, the female general became a little anxious.

She quickly shook Fang Yi and asked, "Didn't you remember the key points of what I said? It's normal for you to be in a bad mood right now. I'll just repeat it again."

“Or did you encounter any problems when trying to implement this visualization method?
"I learned this visualization method in half an hour, so it won't be difficult for you either.

"If you don't understand anything, I can answer it for you. The sooner you master this visualization method, the greater the benefit to your spirit."

As the female general was speaking, she saw a somewhat evil smile on the corner of the man's mouth.

As the prompt sound of [Teaching the skill [Ice Soul Gaze Visualization Method] has been successful] came to his ears, the words the man had said countless times also rang out.

"I know."

The gleam in the man's eyes was exactly what the female general was very familiar with, it was the characteristic of the visualization method she had improved.
-
The female general watched the fatigue in the man's eyes fade away, and her determination to get his help became even stronger.

"This man's talent is truly indescribable. Even though this technique is perfectly suited to me, it took me half an hour to master it, but he was able to perform it autonomously in just a few minutes.

“No wonder the [Minister] favors him so much. With such a unique talent, anyone with a sound mind would want his help!

"I have to do something!"

The female general withdrew her hand that was reaching out to the man, sorted out her thoughts, organized her words, and then looked at Fang Yi and spoke carefully.

"It's good that you've learned it. It will help you quickly recover your mental strength and train your spirit. Just don't teach this visualization method to anyone else.

"Thank you for the [binding], I..."

Fang Yi waved his hand to stop the female general from speaking.

He knew the other party's intention to win him over, and also sensed the other party's softening attitude and tone.

With this attitude, Esdeath has clearly removed herself from the groupings of "subordinates" and "dominated", revealing her intention to cooperate to a certain extent.

Although such a female general could be trained by "slow and steady" methods, Fang Yi did not intend to waste time doing so.

The other party has generously taught me a valuable skill, and I should return the favor. Moreover, for me who is being hunted, time is particularly precious.

Therefore, he decided it was time to show his hand a little bit and start to improve the friendship level of the female general.

He turned his head to look into the other person's eyes and replied seriously.

"General, you may not realize how valuable the knowledge you just imparted to me is.

"Your method of visualization has far surpassed the value of the [bindings] I set for you, not to mention that your overdrawn mental strength was caused by me.

"So don't thank me. Now I owe you."

Hearing the other party's words, the female general was delighted at first and thought to herself.

[Yes, I finally see some hope for cooperation, but I still need to work harder.]

The female general was about to refuse, but she didn't expect the man's next words to make her heart move.

"I'm a big advocate of paying for knowledge, and I'll definitely give you corresponding compensation for your knowledge.

"General, you may not realize that you are in a very dangerous situation.

"As the leader of the Hunters, you are now caught in an inescapable trap set by the Minister."

Fang Yi cunningly used the method of intimidating the lord that counselors in ancient times often used when recommending themselves, and planned to scare the female general first.
-
Looking at the female general whose attention was attracted by his words, Fang Yi added a few more words.

"It just so happens that I have some understanding of the imperial power and learned some 'inside information' from the [Minister], which gives me some ideas on how to solve your current situation, General.

"General, do you want to listen?
"If you want to listen, I can answer your questions after I sort out my thoughts."

Without any pause, the female general nodded several times.

To a certain extent, she sought cooperation with Fang Yi because she wanted to know what the [Minister] was thinking.

However, Fang Yi did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he pretended to think and looked at the skills that the other party taught him.

This skill is really a pleasant surprise and can also enhance Fang Yi's combat power.

Current Refining Will: None
Summary:
It was originally a visualization method commonly used by warriors in a certain high-level martial arts world to train their spirits, improve their concentration, and increase the efficiency of practicing skills.

After Esdeath's exploration and improvement, it embarked on a new path in conjunction with the will brought by the [Imperial Equipment].

Evaluation:

Only those with great perseverance can bring out the full potential of this visualization method.
-
It's a simple skill, but it increases development speed, which is very consistent with Fang Yi's own combat path.

This skill will be linked to the [You can gain [Spirit] attributes by repeatedly using this skill] in [An Eye for an Eye], helping Fang Yi obtain additional attributes faster.

At the same time, it also increased Fang Yi's ability to resist curses and mental attacks.

In addition, the simple benefits of [reducing skill mana consumption] and [increasing skill learning speed after [visualization]] brought by this skill are simple and universal good blessings.

It is also the kind of increase that will not be eliminated as the rank rises, so Fang Yi naturally doesn't think it is too much.

What's more, there is the most crucial function: [It can refine the consciousness of conscious items without damaging the equipment properties through multiple [visualizations]].

He took a look at the introduction and realized that the female general must have used this visualization method to refine her own dangerous consciousness of taking the blood-type [Imperial Tool] to compete for her body, and gained benefits.

Coincidentally, he also has a piece of equipment with will.

The will of the dragon named Tyrande in [The Haunted One] was trapped by himself with [Binding] and no longer caused trouble.

But looking at the 99.9% compatibility of [Refining Armor into the Body], Fang Yi had a premonition that if he could refine Tyrande's will through this visualization method, in addition to the [Spiritual] attributes brought by the visualization method, there should be additional gains.

Such a skill with strong universality, significant amplification and the ability to increase combat power was generously taught to him by the female general.

In response, Fang Yi said that he would not treat unfairly those who were willing to cooperate.

Therefore, Fang Yi was happy to give the female general some advice on the situation and help her a little.

At the same time, he also planned to try to quickly contact the assassin's sister [Black Eyes] through Esdeath's [Hunter].

Fang Yi collected his thoughts and looked at Esdeath who had started stomping her feet. He felt that it was time to analyze the situation for the female general.
-
Looking at the female general, Fang Yi chose to betray the [Minister] without hesitation and revealed some shocking information.

“Before I returned to this residence, [the minister] spoke to me.

"He gave me a powerful Imperial Tool and asked me to pretend to accept the offer from a man named Esdeath.

"He had anticipated your arrival, General, and was prepared to dispose of you after you had dealt with the Death in the Mist."

Seeing the blood wall that appeared in the hall after Fang Yi pulled out [California Clearing Light], the female general instantly understood that what the other party said was true.

She nodded in agreement, and at the same time raised her doubts to Fang Yi.

“Only a Minister could produce this kind of Imperial Gear, and I anticipated his ill intentions.

"What do you think I should do? Or how can I use the Hunters to further gain power?"

Fang Yi smiled slightly and gave his own way of dealing with it.
