The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

As the countdown returned to zero, just like the words written in pencil being erased by an eraser, Lin Qiao suddenly disappeared right under Et's eyes.

"Ishimori?"

There was no responding sound around, only gusts of cold wind.

"They actually left..."

But, Kamen Rider?

Looking up at the sky, I feel like I have some inspiration for my new book.

End of Volume 1

After much trouble, I finally finished writing my first volume.

Of course I would like to thank everyone for their support. When I was writing this crappy novel, I was prepared to die on the spot... Anyway, thank you all again.

To be honest, I never expected this volume to be so long.

I know some people will call me watery, but if possible, please change "water" to "run", which sounds better.

At first I thought the word count would not be enough, so I designed a lot of plots. But it turned out that not only was the word count not enough, but it far exceeded expectations. In the end I had to cut down on some plots that I thought were not important.

Although it feels a bit regretful, it can also be regarded as a lesson. If I write about ghouls again in the future, I might add to it to make up for the regret.

So let’s first talk about which plots were deleted.

1. A personal reply to the black and white sisters. After all, I still like this pair of twins very much.

2. Dong Xiang replied alone, probably when she had just been released from prison.

3. The process of unifying the bronze trees, including how to beat up Et and Tadara.

4. Mr. Krabs, who appeared in Chapter 75, was originally planned to survive and seek revenge on the protagonist based on the suggestions of group members, and then become a test subject.

5. Some things about Noro and Kamishiro Chaei.

6. Arrangements for the Zero Squad, such as acting as a lubricant to promote communication between the Bronze Tree and the CCG.

7. The various battlefields during the final battle, such as Amon Kotaro and Mado Wuo fighting the priest, the protagonist fighting Mustard, and Atei Bingru joining forces to beat Roma and Kudo Nifuku.

8. Some things about Ai Te and his old father Yoshimura Kousen.

That’s about it. It feels a bit of a shame not to write it down, but if I do write it down, it feels too watery, so I’ll just leave it here.

Then let’s talk about the outline. The items were revised twice, and the main body didn’t change much, only the details.

For example, for Ibinori, my initial idea was to directly transform her into a Smasher, forcibly control her to fight Arima Kisho, and then bring back the Bronze Tree.

Then there is Ate. I was a little worried about how to arrange it, but because I watched her appearance too many times, I found that the vacuum bandage is really good, I like it, so it became like this.

All in all, this volume still has some shortcomings, for example, everyone commented that the protagonist is not as good as before.

I will pay attention to this in the future and try to make him less sloppy.

Also, the ending was really hard to write. I spent a lot of time editing it, but I just couldn't feel satisfied with the emotional expression I wanted no matter how I wrote it... It was so hard.

In short, this volume has made me understand a lot. I will continue to improve my writing skills and bring you a better reading experience.

Chapter 177 Return to System Space

Lin Qiao felt a slight sense of imbalance, and then, it was like a severely myopic person suddenly taking off his glasses.

Et's body in front of him kept stretching backwards, and everything around him seemed to become blurred.

This delicate process did not last long. In less than three or four seconds, everything returned to normal.

[Main mission completed, hostile target eliminated, returned to system space]

[System component +1, 6000 points have been obtained, new functions have been unlocked. ]

A series of subtle electronic sounds appeared in my mind.

The winter chill in the air instantly disappeared, and the temperature of 24 degrees was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

The surrounding scene has changed from the dilapidated ruins of the city to a wide road with no pedestrians or vehicles.

There was only a smear of blood on the sidewalk near the wall, but it was clearly visible and even a little glaring.

A very familiar view.

After all, this was where he was hit and killed.

But this is not the real world before the time travel, but a scene simulated by the system... So since we have this ability, can't we give him a more comfortable environment?

You just like to mess with people's mentality, right?

"By the way, what is that system component?"

Lin Qiao showed a little interest. Although he had experienced a world, and the previous Tokyo Ghoul was the second one, he still didn't know much about the system.

[Every time you travel through a world, you can get a fixed system component. When you collect a certain number of components, you can unlock new functions of the system.]

[Each component collected will be given a different number of points]

"..."

It has a strong online game flavor, but fortunately he has a general understanding of the situation.

In short, there are some things like strengthening props, but they are only for the system.

And it is certain that this thing is very important to the system - after all, you can tell from the name alone.

"So what's the new feature you just unlocked?"

[The "Return to the World" function has been unlocked. Travelers can spend a certain amount of points to return to the world they once traveled to. ]

Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows. Generally speaking, shouldn’t this be the basic function of all systems?

How come it's like he needs to pay to unlock it? I don't know whether I should say he's unscrupulous or just too useless...

But this thought did not last long, and he soon let it go.

It’s a good thing, at least the system confirmed that I can return to the previous world.

Even though he looked so carefree when he left, if really possible, he still wanted to say goodbye properly to Hinami, Touka, Iru and At.

"System, how many points do I need to return to the previous world?"

[The current required points are 3000 points/day]

"..."

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes, and the idea of ​​going back in her mind was instantly extinguished like a basin of cold water.

Although he could afford the price, there was really no need to waste his precious points on it.

It's like a person who has only 700 dollars on him and doesn't think about how to make ends meet, but instead wants to spend 300 or 400 dollars to buy action figures.

It's too ridiculous.

You know, he can't go back just by collecting 3000 points, but he must have 3000 points more.

Points are very important, and everything in the system requires points as a prerequisite.

In order to deal with future dangers, he needs to increase his strength to keep himself alive, which will inevitably cost a lot of points.

If you waste points now, the result will only be that you have one foot in the coffin. Only the living can create the future... and if you die, everything will be meaningless.

"For the first time, I feel that having no emotions is a good thing..."

Should he cry or just hide in a corner?

I covered my heart with one hand, feeling disappointed but not sad.

Although his emotions have not completely disappeared, they have only become much weaker, but he is still inevitably affected.

If expressed in numerical terms, it was about 10 before the time travel, 7 before the evolution, and now it is probably only 2 at most... or even lower than that.

I'm afraid it may disappear completely after a while.

"But since it's the current price, does that mean the price can still change?"

[Collect system components and strengthen system functions to reduce the points required. After collecting a certain number of them, you can turn any world you have experienced into a permanent world. ]

[No points are required for round trips to the permanent world. Every time you complete a mission, you will automatically receive 365 days of free stay time]

"If that's the case, I can accept it."

He nodded. Although he didn't know how low it would drop to, he thought it would not be as scary as the previous 3000 points a day.

And speaking of this, he was really envious of the treatment offered by the permanent resident world, which was for one year and it looked like it could be extended a lot longer by accumulating points.

Even though I know it's definitely not easy to achieve my goal, overall I feel a little motivated.

"System, open the exchange list... and see if there is anything suitable for me."

[The current balance is 6000 points, and items and abilities have been recommended]

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge virtual screen floating in the air appeared before his eyes, with a dazzling list of lists on it.

Ordinary conventional weapons are passed first. Unless they are nuclear weapons or something from science fiction works, they will have little effect on him.

And with the smoke gun, I don't have to worry about weapons in the short term.

He took a quick look and found that with his current points, he could buy a lot of things, but it was still far from enough to start the shopping mode.

I can’t afford good things, and the things I can afford are not good enough...I guess I’m stuck in this state.

And considering that the world is different, it means that the opponents he needs to face naturally include all kinds of monsters and demons.

Not to mention his opponents who are also time travelers, even the natives of that world might not be someone he can deal with.

If he was unlucky enough to run into a ghost, goblin, or some other non-physical being, he might not be able to do anything about it.

So if possible, it is best to get information first. If nothing else, at least you can be prepared.

"System, what is the next world?"

[The function has not been unlocked and cannot be disclosed in advance]

“Will there be other travelers?”

[Unknown, but the system will match two parties who have experienced the same number of worlds together for a fair and reasonable duel]

Well, it seems that he can only rely on himself... But it is also good this way, at least he does not have to worry about running into those old dogs who have been hiding for more than ten or twenty times after completing only one mission.

Chapter 178: Adding points? Of course, it's defense.

Let’s get back to exchanging things.

After browsing for more than an hour, looking at the twenty or so items in the shopping cart, thinking and hesitating for a long time, Lin Qiao finally made her own choice.
