Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

It is disappointing, but life is like this, and we have to move on even if things are not going as planned.

Bai Yu didn't think that this two-star card was really only capable of this, it should have potential to be developed.

"Come to think of it, Chronicles of Heroes seems, perhaps, to really be a development game..."

"Perhaps we can look forward to the combat power of this two-star card after training... Just like Magikarp, we can hope to evolve into Gyarados and gamble on our dreams."

"Wait, so the Heroic Spirit I drew earlier doesn't even meet the most basic training requirements?"

"But how do you raise a dead person? Turn them into zombies and let them become idols to earn money?"

After poking the Heroic Spirit Card, a series of prompts followed.

[Please select a strategy for cultivating Heroic Spirits]

1. Training reinforcement

【2. Weaving Destiny】

[3. Realm Exploration (Unlocked)]

[4. Abyss Expedition (Unlocked)]

[5. Self-improvement (unlocked)]

"Sure enough, it's a development game."

Bai Yu stroked his chin. "Five development strategies, three of which haven't been unlocked yet... Whatever."

The only options are training and reinforcement and destiny weaving.

"If Destiny Weaving is about running a personal storyline, then intensive training is roughly equivalent to running daily grinds?"

Bai Yu thought about it and clicked on the "Training Enhancement" option.

He only has one weekly dungeon called 'Novice Training Camp' which refreshes once a week.

The output of the copy is extremely high, and the training efficiency is also extremely high.

Usually the game is composed of 'Daily' and 'Weekly'.

There are fixed indicators that need to be achieved every day, week, month or every version to keep players online.

In his view, intensive training is equivalent to a daily and weekly template; destiny weaving is running a personal exclusive story.

Before, I could only weave my own destiny, but now I have other options. Naturally, I am itching to do it, and I am eager...

"You won't get pregnant if you try."

After clicking on the enhanced training option, a secondary option popped up.

[Training: Daily training, gain some experience points, consume 30 fatigue points]

[Meditation: Close your eyes and meditate, restore a certain mood value, consume 20 fatigue points]

[Challenge: Challenge a powerful enemy, gain a large amount of experience points, consume 60 fatigue points, and require special props]

[Sublimation: Awakening of the Heroic Spirit, level up, does not consume fatigue points, requires special items]

[Note: Exerting excessive fatigue will cause a lowered mood, and unexpected events may occur when the mood is low.]

[Current character fatigue value: 90; mood value: 3]

"Oh? An unexpected incident?" Bai Yu touched his chin. "Lowering your mood can trigger an incident? That's a good thing, right?"

Don't take your mood value too seriously when playing games.

Just like that thing in Frostpunk, don't ask if it's worth it.

【New copy has been opened】

【Katori Gym】

[The dojo of the Tenshin Shinto-ryu, where the Katori Shinto-ryu was first passed down. As the shadow world engulfed the Far East, some ancient ruins also sank into the shadow world. Time could not decay them. The shadows of the sword ghosts lingering within guarded the ancient gates and were unwilling to leave. This place is still the dojo of the Katori Shinto-ryu, but it has been covered in dust for hundreds of years and no one has ever found or trespassed on it.]

[Across a long time, the first person to arrive at this gym and master the profound meaning of Shintoism was the desperate Wuming evil ghost.]

[Note: This dungeon has five levels of difficulty, and requires a strategy to unlock.]

"A new weekly edition has been opened."

"Now we finally have some two-star heroes. Fine, fine. No need to poke. I really don't want to poke."

Bai Yu was originally still thinking about what kind of specific training plan to set up, but now he doesn't need to think about it. If there is a weekly game, he will definitely do it first.

Better materials can be dropped every week, and you can also get more blind boxes. There are only two left to the guaranteed prize!

[Please set the copy role]

[Fate Editor, Wuming Ghost...Setting Completed]

【Fatigue value has been deducted】

[About to enter Katori Dojo]

Bai Yu closed his eyes, feeling the feeling of weightlessness coming again.

Chapter 62 Woman, you have successfully aroused my interest

Fuso, Kyoto, Nanjia.

In an old house covering several hectares with an ancient and majestic style, an old man stood in the corridor. His hair was slightly gray and combed meticulously. He was wearing a gray kimono with the southern family crest embroidered on the corner of the kimono, which was similar to ancient seal characters.

Holding a handful of fish feed in their hands, the koi fishes flapped their tails and fought for the food in the pond.

The old man's brows were hard, and he had cultivated a majestic temperament from being in a superior position for a long time. He opened his mouth, his voice rhythmic: "She hasn't admitted her mistake yet?"

"Yes... Miss has been locked up in the attic for three days and is still on a hunger strike."

"You're so ungrateful," Nan Shihui said coldly. He clenched the bait in his hand, letting it slip through his fingers onto the surface of the pond. "Ya Yan... your daughter is a little too undisciplined."

The middle-aged man next to him lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"But it's from outside, and even after years of trying, it still hasn't been corrected." The old man lowered his gaze, staring at the koi in the pond. There was a noticeably skinny koi that had been squeezed into a corner, unable to compete for food. "I want to see... how long she can hold out. Have someone bring her some water and keep an eye on her. Don't let her die... She's still useful."

"Yes." The middle-aged man held his breath.

"No matter what, she's still surnamed Nan. Since she eats the Nan family's food, lives in the Nan family's house, and bleeds Nan family blood, she has to do her part for the Nan family. This is the only thing she can do." Nan Shihui glanced at his son. "Go and persuade her. If she's willing to apologize, I can forgive her once... Otherwise, it won't be a simple matter of suffering."

He sprinkled a handful of bait and let the koi fish fight and roll in the water. A koi fish was squeezed out of the pond and landed on the pebbles at the edge of the pond, jumping with difficulty.

Nan Yayan bent down and saw off Nan Shihui, the head of the Nan family, as if he was seeing off a leader.

He stood up, feeling a little dizzy and dazed, and called the family servant on the way: "Go and bring some water to Mahiru."

The maid was surprised and said, "Just some water? The young lady hasn't eaten for three days..."

"Just some water will do." Nan Yayan said, taking out a small bag from his pocket and handing it to the servant, and emphasized loudly: "Just some water, understand?"

"...Yes." She understood.

Nan Yayan was about to walk out.

"Will you not go and see the young lady yourself?"

"…What's the point of going?" The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed bitterly, and walked away. Compared with Nan Shihui, who was over seventy years old and still as strong as a tiger or bear, he was as thin as a sick cat.

The maid brought water to the attic and walked up. Through a wooden cage, she could see the increasingly haggard face of the girl inside.

She knelt on the ground, looking very weak after not eating for several days, but her sitting posture was still upright, and her temperament became even more prominent.

Anyone who sees her will feel from the bottom of their heart that she is a lady from a famous family.

She is indeed a lady from a noble family... in the eyes of people outside the Nan family.

As if she heard some sound, the girl didn't open her eyes, but just asked calmly: "Is it Ah Zi?"

The maid put down the water cup in her hand and said: "Miss, please drink some water... I feel sorry for you for wasting your body like this."

"Who asked you to bring water?" Mahiru didn't answer, but asked, "Was it the head of the family?"

"……Um."

"Then I won't drink it."

"Miss, even if you don't want to agree, you don't have to ruin yourself like this."

"I know this is stupid, but this is the only way I can fight back," Mahiru said calmly. "Besides that, what else can I do? Just let it happen and become a proxy bride? This is not the outcome I want... If I drink this bowl of water, it means compromising, and there is no room for compromise now."

The maid was very anxious. She whispered, "Just drink a little. No one will notice if you drink a sip."

Mahiru shook her head. How could such cleverness be useful?

There is no one guarding here, but invisible eyes must exist. As long as you compromise or have a sense of luck, you will be seen through.

Trying to play tricks on someone who is more than three times your age is definitely a smart move.

"Miss, please at least hold my hand. I know how to take a pulse." A Zi said again.

This time Mahiru didn't insist and stretched out her hand, which was quickly held by Azi. She felt something being stuffed into her hand, which was covered by the furisode.

"I'll wait for you to go out, young lady." Ah Zi said softly, "When you go out, I will buy you your favorite Japanese confectionery."

Mahiru seemed to be lost in thought and silently withdrew his hand: "Thank you, A Zi..."

"The young master said so." The maid added in a low voice, then stood up, picked up the water glass, and walked away, looking back every few steps.

Mahiru knelt on the ground, a hint of complexity between his brows.

My father is still as cowardly as ever.

It has always been like this and has never changed.

Although he knew that Ah Zi should send over some cakes, he didn't dare to resist his father at all... Only when the other party agreed to send over some water did he dare to secretly slip something over.

This is not considered flexible... If someone had secretly delivered it to her earlier, she would have been able to show her happiness, but not now. She only felt a little sad and upset.

This means that her expectation that Nan Yayan would refute Nan Shihui for her own sake was an impossible fantasy.

She also knew that her hunger strike was only a temporary solution.

There was no way he could go against Nan Shihui's wishes.

She will eventually become a substitute bride and marry out in place of her younger sister, Minami Saori.

What will be the consequences if I marry him?

You don't have to guess, it will be terrible, because...

She raised her hand and touched her eyes.

She has no eyesight.

Apart from being the eldest daughter of the Nan family, she is simply a burden.

As she is now, she can neither become the mistress of a family nor a good wife, nor can she fight for any benefits for the Nan family. Her only meaning of existence is to be a sacrifice and a link of interests between the two families.

Mahiru didn't even know who she was going to marry. She had only heard a little about it. She also knew the man named Minami Shiteru. The head of the family would never really cooperate with the other party for a win-win situation. It was more like they were taking advantage of each other.

When the interests of both parties are inconsistent, they will become antagonistic again... and I am destined to become an unfortunate victim.

What's worse is... she is powerless to even resist her impending fate.

Although she knew that the hell ahead was a waste dump, she could only run towards the end of her destiny without stopping for a moment, like a doll lying on a conveyor belt.

This feeling made her desperate and suffocated.

She threw the pastry in her hand heavily, her emotions a little out of control. At this moment, she was angry.

only……

The cakes that were thrown out did not fall on the wall for a long time, and disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean.

"This cookie tastes great. Don't you think it's a shame to just throw it away?"

A strange voice that had never been heard before rang out.

With a bit of frivolity, a bit of casualness, and a bit of chic.

"You're the first person who made me feel attracted to you right after we met... Woman, you've successfully piqued my interest."

Chapter 63: On the day of the battle, it is the honor of death rather than the disgrace of life

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Mahiru stood up subconsciously.
