Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

[Note: As a catalog of all banned books, this book is of course also a banned book, but it does not include itself in the list.]

...

【Charm Potion】

[Effect: A special potion that increases your charm attribute]

[Note: If you like something, you will like it even more; if you dislike something, you will dislike it even more. That's the charm!]

...

It's all a mess.

There was even a white plastic chair used as a makeshift chair. These are everywhere in food stalls. It’s simply unbearable.

The wholesale price of these special items is one hundred points.

Bai Yu finally bought three items, namely 'stockings', 'shampoo' and 'A Certain Magical Index'... spending 300 points.

I don't think there's really any need to buy the other items.

Special items are indeed special. At first glance, they look like a bunch of garbage, but if you look closely at the effect description... they are quite practical.

There are still 700 points left.

Let’s look at other consumables.

Consumables are mostly various potions obtained before.

A bottle of primary potion costs 10 points; a bottle of advanced potion costs 50 points.

He spent another 300 points to purchase six bottles of the most scarce advanced life potion.

With 400 points left, Bai Yu decided to invest in himself after careful consideration.

He purchased a consumable item.

【Mortal's Insight】

[After use, the growth rate of skill proficiency increases]

[Note: Ineffective against extraordinary skills at the proficiency stage]

This consumable also comes in series, but it is relatively rare, and Bai Yu has only obtained it once so far.

愚者的道理、凡人的见识、达人的智慧、狂人的知识……也对应了熟练度的初窥门径（0~30%）；登堂入室（30%~50%）；驾轻就熟（50~70%）；炉火纯青（70%~90%）四个阶段。

There is also the highest level, the Pinnacle of Perfection, but there is no corresponding redemption option in the store at this stage.

The knowledge of ordinary people can be used at the initial stage of mastery, but to reach the level of proficiency one must consume the wisdom of masters to accelerate growth.

However, even the 'mortal's knowledge' is sold for 400 points.

The price of 'Expert's Wisdom' is one thousand points.

I can't afford it anyway at this stage.

He had no choice but to give up this idea. Fortunately, the knowledge of a mortal should be enough for him to bring several low-level memories to the advanced stage.

The remaining three thousand points were used to purchase the only item in the store.

Chapter 242 Ungrateful Bastard

【Mysterious Fangs】

【Three-star Relic】

[Effect: Cutting the skin will cause bleeding, and can cause minimal damage to any tough defense.]

[The Heroic Spirit 'Title Unknown' has rejected your summons]

[Returned to history]

Bai Yu: "?"

Yo ho!

Quite stubborn!

This was the first time that he had touched a relic but was unable to obtain intelligence about it.

It seems that the other party's willingness to resist is particularly strong.

Not even being able to read intelligence meant that it was impossible to easily form a contract at the moment.

"I don't know how many times I have to eat the guaranteed amount before I can proceed with the contract."

Bai Yu muttered to himself, "But for a three-star Heroic Spirit, it's worth it... Even if it's a three-star Heroic Spirit in afterimage form, it's still a huge profit."

He certainly does not lack patience because of the bottom line rule. He has enough tolerance for many things. Others get bored after doing something a few times, but he will do it at least until the tenth time.

At this point, all points have been used up.

【Store closed】

[Limited time event has ended]

I went to a limited-time event and gained a lot.

Bai Yu thought about it and decided to find a time to give away the fashion item.

The Dragon Vein Realm... I'm afraid it's not very suitable, because that's the spiritual world.

I should log in to the dungeon and take a look. I have been focusing on the Dragon Vein Realm recently.

Just as he was thinking, Bai Yu clicked on the copy and immediately noticed that the copy had been updated again.

【Intermediate Training Camp】

Recommended Level: 20~35

As Bai Yu broke through to level 20, a new weekly copy was added. The higher the level of the weekly copy, the more output it would naturally produce, and the greater the rewards would be.

However, the corresponding difficulty has also increased, and there is an additional line of notes.

[Recommended number of people: 3~4]

However, the only heroic spirit in good condition that Bai Yu can command is Wuming Gui.

Emmm...it seems that it is imperative to contract the Gorgon Witch.

Clicked on the intermediate training camp.

[The current number of people is lower than the recommended number. Do you want to confirm your entry? ]

"no."

[Katori Gym (Level 3 Difficulty)]

Recommended Level: 25~35

[Enter]

"Yes."

……

Suburbs of Nanling.

The crowd supported each other and walked out of the dark shadows.

The people who walked out of the passage of the shadow world had expressions of surviving a disaster on their faces.

Zhou Liu had just finished the last bottle of potion and fed it to a weak night watchman. The latter immediately felt much better and should be able to hold on until the operating table.

"Report to Captain Zhou!"

"How's it going?" She hesitated and put the bottle back into her pocket.

"It has been confirmed that the boundary of the shadow world has shrunk to a diameter of five meters. At the current speed, it will completely disappear in twelve hours at most." The young night watchman read out the inferred results of his observations.

"Have you notified the logistics department?"

"Already contacted."

"Well, arrange for them to enter the shadow world and transport out the bodies of all the dead. To ensure safety, troops responsible for security must also be arranged to follow." Zhou Liu gave orders in an orderly manner, but the clearer her thinking became, the more annoyed she became... Why was she so good at 'cleaning up'?

The night watchman replied, "Yes!"

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Zhou Liu ask, "Wait...are you still missing something to report?"

"you are right?"

"Casualty figures!" Zhou Liu said calmly, "I want the casualty ratio!"

"...At this point, the death toll is likely around 70, with over 90 injured."

"The total number is..."

"There are probably around 300 people involved."

"I understand." Zhou Liu's expression didn't change at all after hearing the numbers. He waved his hand and asked the young night watchman to go and notify the logistics staff.

She turned around and was about to go to the next wounded person, but when she looked back, she found that there were no more wounded people; they had all been transported away.

Her busyness also stopped.

After confirming that the invasion of the Shadow World was over, the logistics were in place and efficient faster than expected. Temporary medical cabins were built, operating rooms and beds were prepared, and ambulances were used for transfer... Most of the city's medical resources were forcibly mobilized, and soon she had nothing to do.

I could only stand alone in the corner, looking at the crowd around me, neither standing nor sitting.

"You look like you're being tormented by guilt and are restless."

Zhou Liu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Yaoxi, who had changed into a clean sportswear. She tried to force a smile.

The next moment, Mu Yaoxi threw a hot towel at her face: "Wipe your face, don't force your smile, it's heartbreaking to see... Since you've come out alive, it's better to laugh and cry after surviving the disaster than to hold it in and do nothing."

Zhou Liu held the warm towel in her hand. The heat made her feel relaxed for the first time in a long time. She wiped her cheeks and raised her tired and stiff face: "I can't laugh or cry."

"Is it because of the nearly 50% casualty rate?" Mu Yaoxi raised an eyebrow slightly: "You are really greedy."

"greedy?"

"Normally, when this kind of shadow world invasion occurs, it's not uncommon for everyone caught up in it to perish. Furthermore, this time, it's a historical siege reenacted... It's not just that only half survived, but that half actually survived." Mu Yaoxi said with a stern air, "This is already quite incredible."

"So, is it greed to desire more lives?" Zhou Liu asked bitterly.

"If it weren't for that unknown fate writer...neither you nor I would have made it out alive."

Mu Yaoxi stared at the dark entrance to the shadow world: "You are right."

"I've also thought that if he had shown up earlier, perhaps the outcome would have been different, and perhaps no one would have died."

"But if you think that way, aren't you internally convinced that you and I are nothing?"

"This is also disrespectful to the deceased - so there is no if, just accept the reality."

“Only by accepting the cruel humiliation of reality can one learn from shame and then become brave.”

Zhou Liu said with a dazed look in his eyes, "As expected of a congenital heroic spirit, you are stronger than me, so your future achievements will far surpass mine... But I just hope to make this place a better place."

She closed her eyes tiredly, her heart sinking: "Maybe I was wrong, I was working in the wrong direction."

Mu Yaoxi was shocked. She wanted to speak quickly, not to upset the other party.

But Zhou Liu opened his eyes again, his expression becoming dull and expressionless: "Fortunately, it's not too late to change now."

If we have gone astray over the years, then we should also change what we should do.

She thought so and smiled faintly: "I think I should go back and have a good sleep... Thank you for the hot towel, Miss Mu."

"This name is too unfamiliar." Mu Yaoxi raised his eyebrows.

"The editor has done me a favor... and more than once. I have no way of repaying him, so I cannot tell you anything about him." Zhou Liu deliberately called out in a more distant tone.

"He's too mysterious, and equally dangerous. If that kind of power were to turn its butcher knife against me..."

"You know this is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible."
