078: Stepping into the Wolf's Den
Even after being taken hostage by Xia to the vampire's castle, Huaiyan tried every means to refuse him.
"No, that's not allowed."
As soon as he landed, the boy's voice was still a little unsteady, but his refusal was firm.
If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to fight the vampires.
In any case, strictly speaking, the vampires are the most powerful race besides the demons.
In theory, they should not belong to the category of "commoners" who are "powerless to even kill a chicken".
However, the consequence of the fierce battle was that it was difficult for Char's favorability rating to rise.
This is a dilemma.
"You should refuse first," 073 said helplessly. "Anyway, we've already pretty much built up Zhou Luo's favorability."
Perhaps the time they spent alone together in the room was too intimate.
In short, Zhou Luo's favorability rating skyrocketed to 85.
Huai Yan has completed the mission for the human race.
Even if Char's favorability is difficult to raise next, it should take time.
073's feelings were incredibly complicated.
He had assumed that Wolf Green and Lucy, the guard and the great mage Xiu Yi had taken a liking to the boy.
It is because they themselves are believers in the Messiah, the Son of God.
But now, even the humans who have never had any faith, and the vampire leader who does things his own way, are fighting each other for the sake of the boy.
Mutual insults should be considered a physical fight (?).
This is a bit unusual.
The charm of Huai inkstones is just too strong, isn't it?
Even the Father God, who was ruthless and rarely showed mercy in the original story, was attracted to the boy.
It's important to know that in the original story, the Father God ultimately did not hesitate to punish the Messiah with divine lightning.
The divine lightning showed no mercy, robbing Messiah of his chance to survive.
However, in the current storyline, the Father God was attracted to the boy early on, and the leaders of the four races also surrounded the boy.
The mission was completed... a little too easily!
This always made 073 feel inexplicably uneasy.
However, the boy remained oblivious and argued vehemently against Char.
In some ways, the boy was remarkably persistent.
I wonder if Huaiyan will still have the same courage he had when facing Xia Ya when facing the Father God.
After Huaiyan had been explaining things for nearly an hour, Xia Ya finally fell silent.
—The vampire leader is asleep.
Actually, to be fair, this skill is a special ability of the Messiah.
As a holy son, I always have to go to the confessional to enlighten those who can't see the light no matter what.
Or perhaps they are unemployed vagrants who deliberately cause trouble.
Therefore, eloquence is extremely important.
After Char fell asleep, the ears of the one-person-one-system finally found true peace and quiet.
However, 073 just received a notification from the main system that he has to return to the AI world.
"Why?" Huaiyan asked softly, sitting in the black rattan chair. "How long will it take?"
073 thought for a moment and said, "It's probably for system maintenance."
Ever since 073 arrived in this dimension, he has been squeezed out of the background every few days.
The technical department's system finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
"I heard it from 069 too." 073 sighed and turned the background processes into automatic mode. "This might be a large-scale overhaul."
To ensure the safety of the host, the system must be present throughout the entire process of performing the task.
Given that 073 has been pushed down multiple times.
Therefore, the first system to be inspected was 073.
“I’ll be back in about three days,” 073 said worriedly. “During this time, the built-in system will stay with you.”
Since it's a large-scale overhaul, it's normal for it to take a while.
The boy's eyes flickered as he forcefully suppressed his unnatural expression.
He asked, "After the maintenance is finished, will you still be pushed off?"
073 gave an affirmative answer.
After all, the maintenance headquarters needs to inspect and restore it; if problems arise again...
That's a matter of dimensions.
Then, after explaining some precautions for the built-in system, 073 finally went offline.
Seeing that there was no further reaction in his mind, the boy stood up from the chair.
He kicked the inexplicably asleep Char away and began to examine the vampire castle.
The vampire class system is highly rigid.
In the vast ancient castle, there was only one master: Char.
The number of servants around him alone is estimated to be seven or eight hundred.
They are more like the rulers of the continent of Seer than the royal family's church.
Previously, with 073 present, Huaiyan didn't have the opportunity to observe it personally.
To make a good impression on 073, it's not convenient to use violence.
At this moment, Huaiyan seemed to be making no attempt to hide anything, and began to stretch his muscles and bones.
He didn't believe in any powerful protagonist aura.
If that were the case, the Messiah wouldn't have been left with nowhere to escape after the Father God punished him so early in the original story.
Even if it does exist, it's just something that comes along with the system.
However, the title of "heartthrob" is indeed useful.
It's just a bit troublesome to deal with.
Every day, they had to face those tribal leaders who were like people constantly on the verge of rutting.
They also had to deal with Father God, that capricious and mad dog.
The boy hadn't slept well for three days and three nights; every time he closed his eyes, he saw countless entwined tentacles.
However, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too great; if it were a direct confrontation, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
The Father has plenty of ways to deal with him.
With that in mind, the boy opened a passage in the back and observed the entire castle.
He then opened the built-in system.
The built-in system is not as intelligent as the 073; it is a functional system.
After a quick glance at the toolbar, the built-in system finally made a sound.
[Hello, host. I am the built-in system A.]
[Host, please open the Ten-Sided Dice toolbar and roll the dice.]
Huaiyan's eyes flickered, and she raised an eyebrow with a hint of interest.
A ten-sided die?
interesting.
A ten-sided die, as the name suggests, consists of two ten-sided dice, one for the units digit and the other for the tens digit.
If the value thrown is greater than the success rate of the appraisal skill, the appraisal fails; otherwise, it is considered a success.
The skill bar contains dozens of skills, including but not limited to stealth, concealment, charm, blink, invisibility, etc.
The built-in system quickly issued the command.
[Please perform a sanity check. The original sanity value is 50.]
This is the identification process that each host must undergo when opening the ten-sided die.
The sanity value is equivalent to the sanity value. Once it falls below a certain threshold, the character will go insane.
If a character loses 10 points of sanity in a single day, they will experience two hours of confusion.
If your total sanity score drops below 10, nobody knows what will happen.
After all, in this kind of dimensional world, the host's identity becomes that of a heartthrob, with eight people taking turns vying for her.
If a host lacks a strong will, they may become caught up in the adulation and want to stay there indefinitely, deliberately failing to complete the mission.
This kind of thing has happened many times in the world of AI, and later the main system equipped each system with a built-in system.
The system is required to perform a rationality check when it is not running in the background and the host is using the built-in system.
If the final total sanity value is less than 10, or if the first time sanity is deducted is more than 6, the dimensional world will forcibly log out.
The boy remained expressionless, as if he had everything under control, and naturally manipulated his consciousness.
Then, a value of 0 was cast as the identification value.
The built-in system A seemed to be startled by the value thrown by the boy, which symbolized that it was not affected by the plane.
A even froze for several seconds before speaking in a choked voice.
[Congratulations, host! Your sanity level has been successfully assessed!]
Unexpectedly, the boy, who looked so frail and petite, had such a strong will.
On the continent of Seer, where he was worshipped, even admired and revered by thousands, the young man remained calm and composed.
It is evident that the boy usually displayed a complex range of emotions, as well as a fearful and apprehensive expression.
They're all fake.
If it weren't for Father God's mad dog-like appearance reminding Huaiyan of an old friend, he probably wouldn't have had the mind to scheme to seduce the other party.
After receiving a safe rating, Huaiyan himself wasn't too surprised.
He didn't really want to stay here any longer.
We should at least observe the castle before Char wakes up.
The boy slowly walked to the bedroom door.
“A,” the boy said in a cool, decisive voice, “Pass one stealth.”
Backstage, the dice began to spin rapidly.
[Your throw result is 26/70. Congratulations, host! Stealth check successful!]
The castle was large, and there were many servants, making stealth a difficult task. Fortunately, the servants' ears were practically useless, as they dared not cause any trouble within the castle.
Therefore, you smoothly navigated every corner of the castle, moving swiftly right under the noses of the servants.
After wandering around, I found nothing except some information about the demon race in the library.
The leader of the demon race is a succubus.
This is definitely not a good thing for a teenager.
The succubus's thinking area is below; if she really wants to gain favor through practical actions...
Huaiyan: "..."
The Huai inkstone dried in the sun and fell silent.
That might actually be quite difficult.
That mad dog, Father God, will absolutely not let him go.
Moreover, a succubus's body is a bottomless pit.
Perhaps if they are satisfied this time, they will be sought after again next time, and so on, generation after generation, without end.
...People will die, won't they?
The boy involuntarily shivered.
The night breeze outside the castle blew into the library through the open windows.
The book about succubi in my hand was blown by the wind and turned a page automatically.
The boy was about to continue reading.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the door.
"Have they found it over there?!"
"Wang said it's nearby! Search carefully for me!"
"Don't let His Highness the Holy Son escape! Increase the manpower to pursue him! Otherwise, don't blame the King for punishing you!"
"Split your forces into several groups! We'll search high and low, even if it means digging three feet into the ground!"
"yes!"
Huai Yan frowned, listened carefully for a while, and then roughly understood.
Char woke up and, after discovering that he was missing, began to send people to search for him in the castle.
The boy abruptly closed the heavy book and hugged it to his chest.
Because a stealth check had just been performed.
Most of the useful skills of Ten-Sided Dice are currently on cooldown.
After looking at all the skills, the boy had a vague idea in his mind.
"A".
Huai Yan slowly said, "Pass a Flash skill."
The Flash ability allows the user to teleport to any location.
That place could be right outside the door, or it could be thousands of miles away.
Everything depends on luck.
Huaiyan wanted to take a gamble.
If successful, they can escape the capture of the castle's servants.
Tomorrow, you can bring your guards and Xiuyi for a formal visit.
As he pondered, the ten-sided die began spinning rapidly once again.
[Your throw result is 5/50! Congratulations, host, a great success! Flash detection successful!]
[Teleportation Location: Father God's Bedchamber]
A huge success? Were we really that lucky this time?
……etc.
The boy's expression froze instantly.
Where will I be teleported to?!
