First, the interior of the pure white Holy Grail also changed.

When the female owner took the pure white holy grail, she saw ten strange little runes with black flames and a red background shaking in the cup. They were sometimes big, sometimes small, and swaying back and forth.

When they hit the wall of the cup, or cross the flat surface of the cup mouth, they will disappear like a castle on the beach being hit by a 200-pound child. Then they will emerge again from the bottom of the cup, and the number of runes will always remain at ten.

Without even thinking, Ren Suo immediately realized that this should be the embodiment of the amount of desires he had collected. After all, the abnormality of the Pure White Holy Grail only appeared when he had collected 10,000 desires.

Of course, what's more important is that these runes are subtly uncomfortable, and look like the words Ren Suo saw when he was squatting in a public toilet - yes, some people didn't bring toilet paper and just used their hands to pick at the words, and then suddenly they had an inspiration from Wang Xi, and they used shit as ink and their fingers as pens to draw on the toilet walls and doors.

Since these runes are not shit-yellow, they look more like words written in the blood of a dying person. In short, they are full of a weird feeling.

Then in the redemption list, the price dropped first:

"A cup of holy water with 1% prayer concentration: 1 point of merit"

"A cup of holy water with 10% prayer concentration: 25 points of merit"

With Ren Suo's "Plucking Feathers from Passing Geese", it is now completely free for him to buy 1% prayer concentration holy water - because "Plucking Feathers from Passing Geese" is bound to be activated, and the minimum benefit is '-1 consumption merit point'.

Although Ren Suo can basically extract keywords now, he is relieved to have the help of the genuine system - now he can devote more attention to judging the "importance" of each keyword and mix it to get the flavor just right.

Next, two new exchange items appeared:

"A cup of 1% desire concentration holy wine: 5 points of merit"

"A cup of holy wine with 10% desire concentration: 40 merit points"

It seems that they also know that the price is a bit high, so the game directly gives the effect of holy wine:

"Holy Wine of Desire: A strange drink produced when the supreme power is infused with desire. After drinking it, you will get a hint from the Sea of ​​Desire and randomly learn 1 to 5 fundamental desires of the customer."

Ren Suo understood it immediately - this was specially prepared for those who ate free meals and those monsters without keywords.

Compared with the Holy Water of Wishes, the Holy Wine of Desires is more suitable, but also more expensive. However, if you encounter a particularly difficult boss, you can have a drink.

Moreover, compared with holy water which must be drunk in advance, holy wine can be decided whether to drink it after Ren Suo has listened to his life experience, which can be regarded as a trump card.

Generally speaking, the changes to the Pure White Holy Grail are all good. Now Ren Suo's merit value is only 26 points, which is really not enough for him. Now, with the help of "plucking feathers from a passing goose", he can actually get 1% concentration holy water for free. Ren Suo feels like he has taken advantage of the small world game console.

The Small World Arcade Machine is so conscientious that it must be losing money!

This should be a benefit after meeting the conditions in advance, or in other words... the cities with the highest "hidden concentration" are too difficult, and the game can only find a way to slightly tilt the benefits in this regard to increase the player's clearance rate.

But if the player does not have the "Pure White Holy Grail", then doesn't that mean he can only rely on himself throughout the whole process?

Or did the Holy Grail simply speed up the emergence of the krypton gold channel and reduce the exchange price? How can you krypton gold for the next game if it is just a reward from the previous game?

Ren Suo hid his doubts in his heart, chose to exchange for a cup of holy water, and continued to listen to the story of Zashiki-warashi.

The white-haired little girl Mako has forgotten most of her experiences as a human. She only remembers the memories after her resurrection:

"I was playing outdoors when I accidentally fell to my death. In the end, they didn't seem to find my body. When I woke up, except for my hair turning pale, everything seemed the same."

"It's just that ordinary people can't seem to see me. Only ignorant children can see me."

"I'm very scared, because this is the future 23 years after my death. I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, I can't do anything, and no adult can see me..." There was a trace of confusion on Mako's face, like a lost child.

"Then I walked and walked, and I met Xia Ye."

Mako touched Xia Ye's head and said, "It was like fate. I knew at first glance that she was my sister's daughter. When she saw me, she pulled me to be good friends and invited me home."

"I saw my little sister who had grown up. She was the little follower behind me. Now she is a mother. Just like our mother, she is hardworking, busy, and loves to laugh... She also likes to chat with the housewives in the neighborhood."

"Her lover is a very ordinary person, just like my father. Although he has smelly feet and a bad temper, and goes crazy when he comes home drunk after socializing, he will definitely take his wife and daughter out to play, have picnics, and travel in his free time..."

"A very ordinary yet enviable family. If I were still alive, I would probably grow up slowly, embracing ordinary happiness, just like Xia Ye..."

"I hid in her house afterwards. If Xia Ye wanted to play with me, I would come out. If she didn't want to play with me, I would hide aside."

"After I lived there, their family became more and more fortunate, making more money, and having more free time to go out and play."

"One day, when they were traveling, I was watching TV at home. When I was bored, I looked around the house and found a diary on the table in my sister's bedroom. It had a password."

"I tried several times. Xia Ye's birthday, her birthday, her husband's birthday, and my birthday. None of them worked."

Mako looked at the female shop owner and said calmly:

"It's my memorial day."

"I was actually quite happy at that time. I opened my diary and read about my sister's mental journey as she grew up. I saw that she hated the fat kid who always sweated all over the seat next to her in elementary school, that she fell in love with a senior in junior high school, that she met her current husband in high school, and that she went to college..."

"…I also saw that she felt guilty about my death."

Mako's white hair was growing longer, and the nails on her ten fingers were becoming sharper. She gently rubbed Xia Ye's sleeping face with her nails and whispered:

"I didn't fall down. I was resting and my sister wanted to scare me, so she pushed me."

"After I fell, she didn't know what to do and didn't dare to tell the adults. She was afraid of being scolded and didn't know what to do, so she wandered around in the woods. Later, the adults came to her and asked her where I was. She lowered her head and said she didn't know."

"The weather was bad at the time, so the adults couldn't search in the woods. The younger sister started crying loudly, and the adults thought she was crying because she couldn't see her sister, so they didn't suspect her."

"Later, I was confirmed missing. Although my parents were sad, my sister was still alive. And this matter has been buried deep in my sister's heart, and it was only revealed between the lines of the diary."

Mako looked at the female owner, her lips were blood red, her skin was white as snow, and her eyes were rolled back, like a ghost.

"I'm annoyed."

"I feel like this is the kind of food that can make my troubles go away, so I came here."

"If you can't make me stop worrying..."

Mako hugged Xia Ye, and gently put his left hand around Xia Ye's neck, with his sharp nails pressing against her throat.

"I can only think of a way to alleviate my worries a little..."

It was the first time for Ren Suo to see someone bring hostages to eat.

There are three key words: sister, growth, and happiness.

But Ren Suo felt that if he added "family affection" to sushi, it would actually stimulate her.

If you add "understanding" + "forgiveness", the customer might get furious: "It's not you who died, so you can just let it go? Come on, I'll kill you first and then you have to forgive me."

If you add "happy"... the saying "the most important thing in life is to be happy" is invalid for ghosts.

Ren Suo felt really annoyed. If it was any other customer, Ren Suo would just feel "understanding" + "relief" + "family affection" + "happiness" - this piece of shit with mustard added would definitely make the other party fume.

But now the other party has taken hostages, and Ren Suo can't just ignore it. Even if he doesn't choose to escape to Tokyo, the problem of Mako and Xia Ye still exists.

Ren Suo knew that there were many tragic things happening in this world, and he couldn't control them; but if he ignored them when they came to him, he would feel sorry for the values ​​he had developed during his nine years of compulsory education, as well as the powerful functions of this small world game console.

“Tsk…”

Ren Suo controlled the female owner to take the pure white holy grail again and chose to buy the "Holy Wine of Desire".

"Then let's give it a try and see if the holy wine can really reveal the other party's 'fundamental desire'."
