On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

That's why she was even more determined to use her succubus skills. Even if this was her daughter's lover, so what? For a succubus, there was no such thing as seniority when it came to her prey.

"If possible, I'd love to accept Lord Liao Ji's advice too. Waaah!"

The succubus queen on the throne had only spoken halfway when a certain succubus, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, used her authority to gag the queen, leaving her only able to glare angrily and mumble incessantly.

Lena could cooperate with the previous plot, after all, she was the female lead, and it was considered flirting. But now that the Empress and Liao Ji are showing off their figures, Lena is not going to stand for it.

Let's get straight to the point.

Regarding how to punish the wicked queen mother, Lena chose to first ask the three people around Liao Ji what her good friends thought.

Zero: "The succubus's body lotion is an excellent lubricant, Lord Liao Ji. We can build a factory around the succubus queen and produce products continuously in an assembly line manner, thereby providing a higher level of care for the machinery in the Ash Base in the future and extending the service life of the machinery."

As expected of a maid butler, she's always thinking about how to increase her wealth. Liao Ji imagined the scene and felt a little... well.

Jiuyou: "The Ash Army members are exhausted after such a long battle. They can relax a bit."

Uh

A good general should be considerate of his soldiers. However, Liao Ji had a lot of opinions about Jiu You because he saw that the succubus queen on the other side was gagged and unable to speak.

Finally, it was Styutia's turn.

The younger nun was noticeably kinder; she even seemed a little embarrassed when she spoke, saying shyly:

"Lord Liao Liao Ji, Tia really likes puppies. May we get a pet dog?"

It's fake!

I've been so busy at the end of the month, I'm so sorry I couldn't make red bean paste!

(P.S. I originally wanted to expand on all three options for the Succubus Queen, but I got warned, so I can only end it here peacefully. Damn it!)

Chapter 309 Trilogy

"The Succubus's Bionic Hell Factory" is an industrial documentary about how to achieve the recyclability of succubi and the efficient extraction of their milk through mechanical androids. It was produced with zero investment, starring the Succubus Queen, with an unnamed Mr. Liao making a guest appearance, and Ms. Lena serving as the film's special technical advisor.

Similar to cow's milk, magic milk is a sustainable renewable byproduct that requires human extraction. In traditional factory settings, ordinary workers find it difficult to tame succubi. Even the most skilled workers can only extract four or five portions of magic milk before becoming exhausted and facing life-threatening situations, causing irreversible damage to their lifespan and health.

Although workers came in droves to recruit, the huge drain on the workforce remained the number one problem faced by old-style succubus factories.

However, in the documentary, thanks to the technological innovation of "zero" engineers, the factory has made groundbreaking progress. The new generation of android succubus factory can achieve a high-efficiency, high-output, and high-endurance working mode.

They retain the skilled techniques and skills that only the most senior workers can master, while also possessing the abundant energy and enthusiasm of the young, newly hired workers.

It can be said that if this documentary is successfully released, it will make a huge contribution to the sustainable development of the "magic milk" industry.

Unfortunately, the film failed to pass censorship because the factory's behavior was deemed too cruel, and the exploitation of succubi violated labor laws. As a result, the matter was dropped, and the producer, Zero, was arrested and imprisoned by the well-known local police officer Liao. He is currently being interrogated by Officer Liao and his assistant, auxiliary police officer Lei.

Compared to the previous film, this film, "And You Are Our True Hero," invested by Jiuyou, is much more exciting and inspiring.

The film tells the story of the Ash Army warriors who fought bloody battles against the monsters of the Dark Evil on the front lines to protect their homeland. After experiencing several battles, although their bodies remained strong, their hearts were tainted by the ferocity and killing on the battlefield.

Furthermore, the constant tension and lack of relaxation could lead to a decline in the unit's combat effectiveness and morale.

At this critical juncture, the succubi stepped forward, using their warm embraces and love to soothe the warriors' mental and emotional exhaustion and wounds, like spring rain nourishing parched earth, revitalizing the warriors, boosting their morale, and enabling them to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Although the film has a simple plot and a short runtime, it excels in its grand scale and large cast.

However, it was precisely because of this that the Succubus Queen, who was the lead actress, issued a strong protest, severely condemned Jiu You, the producer, after filming ended, and sued Jiu You in court.

In court, after examining the evidence and sorting out the sequence of events, Judge Liao finally agreed with the Succubus Queen's accusations and instructed Attorney Lei to carry out compulsory judicial proceedings against Jiu You. The film was naturally left unresolved and was confiscated and destroyed by Judge Liao.

The last film is "My Dog," a heartwarming and touching family drama produced by Sister St. Siuth.

Compared to the previous two films released around the same time, this film lacks hardcore professional knowledge, grand scenes and production, and even the actors are limited to the Succubus Queen and a nun who, as the producer, personally appeared on set.

But even with such a low budget, this film is enough to make you cry buckets and use up countless tissues.

The training, feeding, and care of the dog by the nun are the main highlights in the early stages. The dog's transformation from being unruly at the beginning to shaking its head and sticking out its tongue at the nun, obeying her every command, and even affectionately trying to lick the nun's toes, will bring a smile to your face and make the scene lively and interesting.

Originally, this film, full of positive energy and sunshine, was bound to spark a dog-owning craze upon its release. Unfortunately, on the eve of its release, a brave journalist revealed that the nun was not actually a dog lover, but rather frequently abused dogs. According to the nun's neighbors, they often saw the shadow of the curtains with a knife in her home, as well as heard eerie laughter coming from there.

Upon receiving the news, Mr. Liao, a local dog lover, immediately went to investigate and eventually brought the sickly woman disguised as a nun to justice, thus tragically ending the film project.

When Liao Ji opened his eyes again, it felt like a long time had passed.

The somewhat eccentric Reina who used to accompany him through the trilogy at "Memory Points" is now gone.

Liao Ji's last memory seemed to be of Lena whispering something in his ear.

Speaking of

It seems that every time he met Lena, it was either in a dream or in such a "memory point," and he had never seen a succubus in reality.

Liao Ji shook his head, thinking it was just Lena's fun. There was only one episode left in "The Enchanting Body," which told the story of the Ash Lord and the Succubus Princess's happy married life.

If Lena doesn't show up again after this episode is filmed, then I'll have no choice but to take coercive measures.

Having made up his mind, Liao Jigang was about to get up when he felt something was wrong. It wasn't that he felt physically unwell, but rather...

Easy?

The last time he and Lena studied astrology, Liao Jizhen had to lean against the wall to get out; his legs were weak and he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

But this time, Liao Ji felt his entire body brimming with power—no, it wasn't just power anymore, it was…

Liao Ji immediately brought up his interface, and in the level column at the top...

Current Level: LV150

[Distance to next level: ???]

150 level

Now Liao Ji has confirmed the source of this surging power, or what he might call "authority," and has regained his "first playthrough" character attributes!?

Why so suddenly?

No.

Could it be due to "influence"?

This journey through memories with Lena was indeed much deeper than the last one. Could it be that I have successfully integrated with this world, and thus my power has returned?

Liao Ji clenched his fist. Having experienced being an ordinary person and starting from level zero, Liao Ji could only truly appreciate how terrifying the "Emperor of Ashes" in the game was back then, now that he was level 150.

The gangsters of the Holy Kingdom might be nothing more than ants, while the Baer of the Dragon Kingdom could be suppressed by him with one hand. The combined power of Kyle Technology of the Mechanical Alliance and the phantoms of the Turbid King in Zero Dream might only allow him to unleash one more skill.

Having regained such powerful strength, Liao Ji's mood, aside from the initial surprise, quickly became subtle, and he even frowned a little.

Exiting the "memory point," Liao Ji returned to the secret room, and just as he had expected, the previously "closed" diary had now been unsealed and opened.

And here

He should have everything he wants to know.

Chapter 310 I Love You

[Day 175 of Ash's Disappearance]

It seems like it's been a long time since I last wrote in my diary.

[Well, so much happened in between that I don't even know where to begin writing about it.]

After capturing the "source" of that giant spider, it only lasted three days in my experiments before breaking down. Although I eventually discovered some of the essence of the "memory points" by dissecting its corpse, it was far from enough; I needed more experimental materials.

In the days that followed, I began to frequently travel to other lower-level worlds on the World Tree to search for sources and capture them to obtain materials for creating new "memory points."

[In this process, I have come to understand more and more about the connection between the World Tree, the Source, and the Turbid Calamity. The Turbid Calamity was not created by the World Tree specifically to target the "Source," but rather it was simply the World Tree's "autumn."]

Withering and decaying, falling into the galaxy—this is the destiny of every "leaf."

Just as fallen leaves turn into soil and become nutrients, all the destroyed worlds merge in the sea of ​​stars, evolving into a new energy—the "Source." When "spring" arrives, the World Tree uses the "Source" to grow new leaves, giving birth to countless new worlds.

[The "Source" should have been an energy substance, but over the long course of time, the "Source" gradually developed its own consciousness. Unwilling to endlessly perish and be reborn with the cycle of the World Tree, they began to search for a way to survive the "Autumn".]

After trying thousands of methods, they finally figured out a way to counter the World Tree's "rules." They communicated with another dimension, an independent world that existed in the form of "planets," created a connecting channel, and used the power of the "Source" to summon "extraterrestrial" beings that were not restricted by the World Tree's "rules"—that is, countless saviors like Lord Ash.

[Therefore, the way to summon Lord Ash is to collect the energy of the "Source"—Source Matter. I use the "Source Matter" to create new connections to the "Planet". However, as I continue to hunt "Source" creatures, even though I am very careful and discreet, I eventually attract their attention.]

At first, they were merely wary, but later they began to systematically attack me. I wasn't afraid of ordinary "Sources"; their strength was only based on their home world. Once I left their world, even if there were multiple "Sources" together, I could easily handle them. But then... their "Master" appeared.

I call the most powerful of them the "Source Lord". It is like the original consciousness of the "Source". Even I feel trembling at such an existence. The last time I felt such fear was when I faced Lord Ash. Perhaps only Lord Ash can fight against it.

Because of the existence of the "Source Master," I had to stop hunting Source Essence and was forced to retreat back to our world. However, due to the lack of "Source Essence," I could only perform a simplified ritual and could not perfectly synchronize Lord Ash's soul with the world, resulting in extremely poor stability.

I originally intended to lie low for a while, waiting for the "Source Lord's" attention to shift, but when I went out again, I found that our world had been surrounded. The Source Lord not only did not leave, but also began to covet Lord Ash's body, leading a large number of "Sources" to block the world's exit. Fortunately, we resurrected the Mother of Turbidity, which made the "Source Lord" hesitate and not directly invade.

[But this is ultimately not a solution. Moreover, as time went on, I vaguely sensed that the Turbid Calamity might not be such a great threat to the "Source Lord." The reason why the other party has not yet taken action is simply because Sister Anno is currently inside Lord Ash's body.]

I think the "Source Lord" is afraid that Sister Anno will fight to the death and destroy Lord Ash's body, so it doesn't dare to provoke us. After all, its purpose in surrounding our world is to obtain Lord Ash's body.

【I'm sorry, Lord Ash, Lena has no other choice but to use the remaining source matter to perform a simple summoning. This will mean that you will not be able to return directly to your physical body, but will instead descend into the world in a new, weak body.】

[At the same time, in order to maintain stability and allow you to remain in our world completely, we need your sense of belonging to the world. This can only be achieved by you, Ash, writing a new chapter in the world and leaving your footprints.]

[Any excessive help from us would only undermine your influence in the world, which is why I buried the truth and didn't tell Tia and the others.]

[I foresaw that this would not be an easy path, so I combined the remaining remnants of the source material after the summoning with a part of my soul, and finally fused them into a guide for you. She will be your first contractor. With someone like me by your side, I can feel at ease about the future.]

As for myself

[When you, Lord Ash, read this diary, you must have already successfully regained your power, right? I'm sorry, Lena has kept this from you all this time. Before you fully integrate into the world, maintaining your arrival requires a power supply. Lena's strength has been greatly depleted over the past five hundred years, perhaps even falling below the Disaster level? Lena was afraid that if you met me in reality, you would immediately realize this, causing you to reject my plans.]

【Um】

[Actually, it's nothing much. The final step for Lord Ash to become Lord Ash is to overwrite the memory points. Reina has also seen some of your worlds. In your words, it's like overwriting the save file, right?]

[Let Rena stay on "Blue Star" forever, so that the Ash Lord on "Blue Star" can be permanently replaced and completely merged with your physical body in our world, becoming the complete you.]

Only in this way can you regain your power and resist the spying of the "Source Master".

The moment you regain your power, the "Source Lord" surrounding our world will surely sense it. At that time, it will no longer hold back and will attack directly. However, I believe that you, Lord Ash, will be able to successfully repel it. This is the last thing I will do for you, Lord Ash, to let the world know that you have returned.

[Phew! I wrote so much in this diary entry. Speaking of which, it was originally titled "The Succubus's Great Victory," but in the end, the succubus, as the female protagonist, was no longer alive. Lord Ash, let's just consider this a bit of selfishness on Reina's part. After all, sacrificing oneself for one's lover is always the most memorable and profound thing. Reina has won, hasn't she?]

Don't worry about Lena. Lena is doing just fine on the other side of Earth, in your higher-dimensional world. She won't be lonely. If she gets really lonely, she can watch the videos you made for her.
