Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

While Shirasaka was looking at Ichinose Kagami, she was also observing Shirasaka. Just as Shirasaka himself said, Chang'an seemed to have no way of affecting him at all. Even if he didn't take any protective measures, he still stood there as if nothing had happened, as if he was in the real world, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Is the gap between people so huge?

"You, are you really okay?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Kagami Ichinose still couldn't control his curiosity. He moved closer to Shirasaka and poked his bare arm before speaking to confirm.

The feeling of touch is completely normal for humans, and there is nothing wrong with it. But this is exactly what is wrong.

"Of course, no problem. Let's go find the monster in this eternal darkness first. I remember that this thing you have has a time limit on its use."

Shirasaka, who was suddenly poked by Ichinose's slender and soft fingers, glanced at her, then poked her palm in retaliation, and then walked towards the depths of Chang'an.

The dark space in front of him was obviously much larger than the previous alley. In addition, it was located in a dense forest, making it even more difficult for people to see clearly what was inside. It was not easy to find the monsters in it.

Fortunately, there is one thing in the constant darkness that is very advantageous to Shirasaka, that is, there are no insects chirping or birds singing, not even the sound of wind blowing through leaves. The surroundings are so quiet that it seems suffocating. But because of this, the sound of hungry ghosts who can never satisfy their hunger chewing food becomes more and more obvious.

As an anti-demon ninja whose duty is to deal with monsters, Ichinose Kagamikabe naturally knew this, so when Shirasaka was scouting the surroundings, she maintained absolute silence, just holding a few unknown talismans in her hands and following Shirasaka closely.

Soon, the sound of some animal gnawing from the grass not far away pointed out the direction for Shirasaka and the others. The hungry ghost that had been hiding in the darkness finally revealed its true appearance.

Its appearance was exactly the same as the one Shirasaka had seen before. The only difference was that, perhaps because it was located in this dense forest and the food was perhaps better than that in the alleys of the city, this hungry ghost was obviously larger in size than the previous one.

Even though she had dealt with monsters many times, Ichinose Kagami couldn't help but show a look of disgust when she saw a hungry ghost. This thing born out of malice and desire made her instinctively feel disgusted with it from the bottom of her heart.

Before Ichinose Kagami could imagine how Shirasaka would deal with the hungry ghost, Shirasaka beside her had already rushed towards the hungry ghost in one step. His speed was so fast that even a demon-fighting ninja like her, who had been trained since childhood, could not catch up.

Having already had experience fighting a hungry ghost once before, Shirasaka naturally couldn't wait for the other party to make the first move this time. While the hungry ghost was still chewing the unknown object in its mouth, Shirasaka had already come in front of it with the brick he had taken out of thin air.

The crimson brick drew a beautiful streak of light in the air and accurately smashed towards the head of the monster, who seemed to have just realized that his territory was invaded. In almost a split second, the brick had landed on the head of the hungry ghost.

Shirasaka never had any sympathy for monsters, especially after hearing Ichinose Kagamikashi explain that the only purpose of these things was to harm humans, he felt even less guilty.

But just when Shirasaka was thinking of ending the fight with one strike and was about to avoid the dirty blood spurting out from the opponent's exploding head, Ichinose Kagami's voice, with a hint of fear, sounded behind him.

"Get out of the way!"

He didn't know why his companion Kagami Ichinose suddenly shouted such words, but out of instinct, Shirasaka suddenly used all his strength to throw away the brick in his hand, and at the same time his body subconsciously retreated.

And the next second, as the brick thrown by Shirasaka accurately hit the hungry ghost's head and knocked it backwards, a rusty kitchen knife flew out from the shadow behind the hungry ghost and directly embedded itself into Shirasaka's chest as he retreated backwards.

The huge impact force caused Shirasaka's body to fly backwards like a fallen leaf, and he stopped only after hitting a big tree behind him.

It was not until this moment that the monster hiding in the shadows and attacking revealed its figure. On its skinny body, which was as hideous and terrifying as a goblin, was the face of an old woman with a cruel grin. The two horns on its head that emitted a light red light, and the claws that were sharper than those of a beast, all showed its danger.

Ichinose Kagami, who witnessed all this, looked at the monster that suddenly appeared with an expression of disbelief, and his usually expressionless face was filled with despair.

"Impossible! Why would a monster like Yamaba appear in a place like this? The intelligence clearly states that only the lowest level hungry ghosts should live here!"

It was not until he heard Ichinose Kagami's exclamation that Shirasaka, who had been lying on the ground without making a sound for a long time, spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood. If he could still speak at this time, he would probably shout out that classic line.

——Nani? Is the information false?

Chapter 31: Desperate Battle

Ichinose Kagami looked at the ferocious old woman in front of her. If she were fully prepared in the real world, she would be able to drive her away.

But now the incident happened suddenly, and the hungry ghost next to him was hit by a brick by Shirasaka, but because he didn't finish off the enemy, he triggered the rage buff. It didn't seem like something he could handle.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the two monsters seemed to have their full attention focused on Shirasaka lying on the ground. If he turned around and ran at this moment, escaping from this Chang'an should not be a problem.

Once out of the eternal darkness, it will be difficult for the monsters there to pose a threat to you. Just like humans will be weakened in the eternal darkness, monsters in reality will also be unable to exert their full strength.

Shirasaka had already said that if anything unexpected happened, I wouldn't have to worry about him. This was a promise between him and me, so there was no such thing as betrayal.

The wisest decision is to escape directly. If I want to intervene, I will most likely die here with him.

Besides, she and Shirasaka had only known each other for less than two days, so it was no exaggeration to say that they were strangers, and she didn't need to feel any psychological burden at all.

The time for thinking was fleeting, and the two monsters would not give her time to continue struggling. They crawled quickly on the ground using their hands and feet, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived next to Shirasaka who was lying unconscious on the ground.

At this moment, a trace of determination finally flashed in Ichinose Kagami's eyes. Without any hesitation, she rushed towards the place where Shirasaka was lying.

Ichinose Kagamikashi arrived at Shirasaka's side almost at the same time as Yamaubade. He just glanced at the boy with a kitchen knife stuck in his chest and no movement, then shifted his gaze back to the ferocious monster in front of him.

Without any intention of communicating with him, Ichinose raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of white powder at the Yamaubada who had attracted his attention.

The salt that was usually used to drive away ghosts was not very effective in the darkness, but it was enough to catch the mountain witch off guard. The flying salt particles floated into the mountain witch's red and protruding eyeballs, causing it to scream and retreat backwards.

Without a moment's hesitation, Kagami Ichinose turned around, grabbed the collar of Shirasaka, who was lying on the ground, and dragged him towards the Tokaido exit.

As for the hungry ghost whose head was half smashed by Shirasaka's brick, Ichinose Kagami could only pray that the rice ball he had just thrown at him could serve to delay him.

But the opposite of what she wanted finally happened. Ichinose Kagami had dragged Shirasaka's body backwards for less than ten meters when a pair of ghostly hands grabbed the boy's ankles on the ground, making it impossible for her to drag him any further.

The hungry ghost with a brick embedded in half of his head didn't even look at the rice ball that was thrown out. His remaining eyeballs were full of anger and bloodthirstiness. He grabbed the young man on the ground tightly as if he wanted to tear the two people in front of him into pieces.

Ichinose Kagami's brows were furrowed, and the roar like an old man coming from behind her made her despair even more intense.

She was very clear about her own strength. If she had to face the combined attack of these two monsters, she would definitely end up in failure.

If he left Shirasaka behind and ran away with all his might, there would still be a glimmer of hope, but there would definitely be no chance of survival for the young man under him.

I have done what I should do. Even if I escape now, there will be no problem. It is not worth it to risk my life for someone I don’t even know very well.

Looking down at the pale-faced boy he was dragging, Ichinose Kagami clenched his fists, as if he had finally made a decision.

The next second, she pulled out a few yellow talismans from her pocket and quickly threw them towards the arm of the hungry ghost that was holding Baisaka.

After the yellow talisman left his hand, bursts of flames ignited, which were extremely obvious in the gray-white space. When the hungry ghost was contaminated by the flames, he let out a scream and had to let go of his claws that were holding Baisaka in pain.

Just when Ichinose Kagami wanted to continue dragging Shirasaka away, a figure directly knocked away the yellow talisman that was still burning in the air and blocked her way.

The face of the mountain old woman, who was already extremely ugly, seemed to have become even more disgusting because of the corrosion of salt grains, but her red eyes were staring straight at the two people in front of her, as if she wanted to eat them alive, and the murderous intent contained in them seemed to be turning into reality.

Its body was also stained with the flames caused by the yellow talisman, but it only made it more ferocious. Without giving Ichinose Kagamikashi time to react, Yamaubade stretched out its claws covered with sharp nails and dug into the girl's chest.

The usually calm Kagamihara Ichinose finally had a look of despair in his eyes at this moment. This mountain-ubi was stronger than he had imagined. Was he really too arrogant?

The speed of the Yamauba was too fast. All Ichinose Kagami could do was watch its claws coming towards her. Everything seemed to have fallen into her trap. She really shouldn't have had the naive idea of wanting to save people from the beginning.

But suddenly, Shirasaka, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, suddenly opened his eyes, pointed one hand at Yamaubade who was rushing towards Ichinose Kagaki, and with the other hand, he reached out to his chest without hesitation, and with a little force, he pulled out the kitchen knife that was inserted in it.

Afterwards, the mountain old woman, who was originally as fast as lightning, stopped as if the pause button was pressed. Her terrifying claws drooped weakly, and her originally scarlet eyeballs closed tightly. She was completely stunned on the spot.

Shirasaka, whose chest was still oozing blood, had already rushed to the side of the stunned Yamaba at a speed so fast that it was impossible to tell that he was injured. He directly and decisively placed the kitchen knife on the Yamaba's neck, which was completely inconsistent with its huge head.

A force twice that of an ordinary person suddenly burst out, and with a crisp sound of bones being cut, the mountain witch's head flew out like a basketball.

Shirasaka killed Yamaubade in front of him in the blink of an eye, but did not stop his actions. Instead, he turned around with the kitchen knife in his hand and stabbed it with a clean and clear blow into the head of the hungry ghost next to him who was still screaming because of the burns.

Following a shrill scream, the remaining hungry ghost finally fell to the ground and slowly began to turn into a pool of smelly mud like the corpse of the mountain witch next to it.

It was not until this time that Shirasaka, who was like a god of death, put down the kitchen knife in his hand and sat down on the ground as if he had lost his strength. At the same time, he looked at the girl who was standing there in a daze with her mouth open because of witnessing this scene.

"Considering that you just risked your life to save me, we'll discuss the intelligence error later."

"What are you looking at? Come and bandage my wound."

Chapter 32: Is there any need to choose?

What happened in this short moment was enough to make Kagami Ichinose's brain crash.

So much so that the inexplicable golden light that burst out from Shirasaka's body in the middle of the journey became an unimportant matter.

He looked at Shirasaka's chest with a puzzled look. Just a minute ago, there should have been a kitchen knife stuck there that was big enough to penetrate his internal organs.

If an ordinary person was hit by such a knife, he would not die on the spot, but at least he would not be like Shirasaka now, jumping up and down as if nothing had happened, and even turned around to kill two monsters.

One of them was the Yamaubade, who even the ancient Onmyoji would find difficult. Ichinose Kagami couldn't imagine how Shirasaka defeated it.

From her perspective, Shirasaka simply raised his hand to stop the opponent's actions, and then finishing him off was as easy as killing a chicken on the side of the road.

Since when did monsters become lambs to be slaughtered?

"how did you do that?"

His voice couldn't help but tremble a little. Ichinose Kagami took out an emergency bandage from his backpack and pointed in the direction of the monster that had disappeared along with Tokoyami.

All this seemed to happen in a dream, and Ichinose Kagami even doubted whether this was an illusion he had before his death.

"Didn't I tell you I'm gifted? Do you think I'm trying to scare you?"

Shirasaka gasped and reached out to take off his clothes which had a big hole in them. The knife wound on his chest was still bleeding, but the flesh around it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, he was somewhat relieved. The biggest change that this plug-in brought to him was that it completely digitized his body. The damage he received would be reflected as a numerical value on the blood bar. As long as the blood bar was not empty, he could maintain his combat effectiveness to the greatest extent without being affected.

In other words, for Shirasaka, there is no such thing as a weakness. A knife stabbed into his chest and a knife cut into his toes will cause the same damage.

What is even more fortunate is that his opponent, Yamaubade, does not have this magical ability, so even though its speed and strength have actually surpassed Shirasaka, the battle was over the moment he cut off its head.

There is no health bar in reality. Once most creatures suffer fatal damage, they will die.

The super model of Sleeping Magic is also reflected here. After all, most people and monsters in reality can be regarded as fragile. If they are controlled by a single blow, they will be killed instantly. Who would bother to fight with you?

There is a full twenty seconds of control time at level one. Even if Shirasaka can't outrun the other person, that's enough.

The only drawback may be that the casting distance is a bit close. The reason why Shirasaka was lying on the ground pretending to be dead was to lure Yamaubade to come closer. As a result, Ichinose Kagamihashi had good intentions but did something bad and almost dragged himself away.

However, considering that this girl didn't know this and still risked her life to save him, and even almost lost her life, Shirasaka decided to forgive her.

Yamauba's knife actually pierced Shirasaka's chest. Even though he had a maximum health point of 75, he lost half of his life because of this knife, losing nearly 30 health points. If he had been stabbed twice more, he would have died here today.

Fortunately, the attribute of strength comes with a slight bonus to health recovery. In other words, 1 point of strength can add 0.05 health points to the recovery per second. In the game, it is a negligible drop in the ocean before it reaches a certain level.

But it's different in reality. Even though Shirasaka only has two points of strength, it means he can recover 0.1 health points per second. In other words, even if this guy is beaten to the point of being on his last breath, he only needs to lie there and wait for ten minutes or so, and he will be able to recover to full condition and get up.

At this moment, just by talking to Ichinose Kagami, the injury on Shirasaka's chest has recovered a lot. The wound that originally allowed the internal organs to be clearly seen has now been covered by the newly grown granulation tissue.

Ichinose Kagami, who was carefully bandaging Shirasaka, of course also noticed this. At this moment, she finally realized that the young man in front of her did not seem like a human being.

But Shirasaka didn't have time to care about what she was thinking at this time. A stronger wind direction meant a greater harvest. Although he almost capsized in the ditch this time, the 300 points of experience brought by Yamaba were enough for him to reach the next level.

[Shirazaka: Level 3 Experience Points 125/800]

【生命值79/100法力值80/80攻击力9护甲1】

[Strength 3 Agility 3 Intelligence 3]

The total amount of attributes finally reached nine points, and his health also broke through three digits. The most qualitative change was that he was finally no longer a fragile little skin with 0 armor and 0 defense. The three points of agility not only brought him another increase in speed, but also gained a rare bit of armor.

Although we haven't tested out the effect of this thing yet, at least we have completed the transition from nothing to something, so it is a sure win.

But compared to the improvement in attributes, Shirasaka was more looking forward to the new skills that came with the upgrade. Putting aside other things, just the experience of this car rollover made him extremely clear that the more life-saving skills he had, the better.

[Unstable Compound: Creates a massive explosion, dealing 600 damage to one target and 140 area damage to enemies within its range.]

Well, the first skill brought a big surprise to Shirasaka. How to say it, this skill of self-destructing bat with a damage of up to 600 points is a very scary number in World of Warcraft, and it seems that this skill of his is not restricted to be used on air units, which looks even more awesome.

What's even more outrageous is that this skill has 0 CD and 0 consumption. It is a magical skill that can make anyone cry just by watching the Finger of Death.

However, if Shirasaka had not actually played Warcraft, he would have been blinded by these powerful numbers and would not have known that this thing actually had a hidden stupid effect that was not written in the skill description.

That is, the release condition of this thing is at the cost of its own self-destruction.

To put it simply, it means that you have a fight with the opponent.

After just a glance, Shirasaka decisively passed this skill from the bottom of his heart. Unless he could get an invincible skill like rebirth, otherwise, this skill would be a pure trap for himself. He didn't have a hero altar to resurrect himself. It was really bad.

[Self-destruction: Consumes 50 mana points of all enemy units within range and causes 225 damage to summoned creatures]

……

Shirasaka is too lazy to complain anymore. This thing just seems to be coming in groups, right? Just after looking at the self-destructing bat's skills, here comes a weakened version of the Pokémon. If I had to choose, I would have chosen the previous one. Why would I even look at this thing?

Placing his last hope on the third skill, Shirasaka could only pray that he wouldn't randomly have another bomber self-destruct. In that case, he would have no choice but to save up these precious skill points, or directly allocate them to Sleep to make this skill even stronger.

[Collection: Collect gold from gold mines or cut down trees to obtain wood.]

After just one glance at the icon, Shirasaka allocated skill points to this skill without saying a word. Any hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to this skill.

What's the most important thing in an RTS game like World of Warcraft? Resources, of course. Without gold and wood, even if Shirasaka gains the ability to train certain units, he'll ultimately be left with nothing but helpless watching. Money is the key to ramping up your army.

But now that Shirasaka is stuck in population and cannot produce production units like farmers, this gathering skill can be said to be a magical skill.

If you can’t create farmers, then just be a farmer yourself, it’s the same thing!

As for where there are gold mines in modern society, Shirasaka can leave it to consider later. At least after having this skill, he will definitely not have to worry about wood anymore.

Chapter 33: Too Sensible

After completing the skill learning, Shirasaka finally turned his attention back to reality. Ichinose Kagami had already bandaged the wound on his chest. It looked like his injury would be completely healed by the time he returned to Kamihama city.
