"One!~"
"Two!~"
"Three!~"
...
As the voice of the third little gourd rang out.
Li Qingyu also silently began counting.
Although there were only seven little children at first glance, Li Qingyu had a feeling that... the reason he counted to thirteen was because there really were thirteen little children!
"Seven!~"
"Thirteen!!"
BOOM!! ~
Li Qingyu no longer cared about the explosion of the third gourd.
What Li Qingyu cares about is...
There are indeed thirteen babies.
If you count them one by one, you can sense the presence of the other dolls!
"but...."
"What colors are the extra little dolls?"
Li Qingyu was once again lost in confusion.
BOOM!! ~
Just then, the fourth gourd exploded as well.
Awakened by the explosion, Li Qingyu no longer cared about how many children there were, because a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
That is...
If all the other small gourds explode.
Does the fact that it wasn't fried mean... there's something wrong with it?
By then...
The thought of the charming old man's sinister and terrifying expression made Li Qingyu feel uneasy.
"wrong!!"
Li Qingyu was stunned for a moment.
"Since the onset of my madness, when have I ever panicked?"
"Even though Painful Madness is perfectly fine in Crimson's inventory, what about my emotions...?"
Li Qingyu sensed something was wrong.
No longer caring about the first requirement for a time traveler—concealment—he attempted to summon Painful Madness.
Anyway, it's not a real time travel; it's still a competition for supremacy. If we're safe for now, we can observe the situation first and then decide how to make our move. There shouldn't be any major problems.
However, the current situation is...
Li Qingyu was bluffing.
I have a feeling that after the old man with the snake tail has finished squeezing all the gourds, he will come back and squash them all to make them symmetrical.
Because if it were Li Qingyu himself...
He will definitely do it!
BOOM!! ~
Another explosion.
The fifth little gourd also exploded.
Li Qingyu's emotions also exploded.
Because of the pain and madness... it's impossible to summon anything!
Although the Painful Madness in his inventory trembled after he issued the summoning command, it only trembled twice before falling silent as if it had fallen asleep.
"Damn it... The Crimson Inventory is right there in my mind, why can't I summon it!?"
Li Qingyu was now genuinely nervous.
The items in his original crimson inventory were one of his sources of confidence.
But now...
That confidence is gone.
But Li Qingyu was not discouraged. If this confidence was temporarily useless, he had another source of confidence.
“Crimson…”
"It's all up to you now..."
Li Qingyu murmured to himself, not caring whether Shen Hong could hear him now.
BOOM!! ~
The sixth little gourd has been defeated.
So far, apart from Li Qingyu who was unharmed after counting to thirteen, all the other children who counted afterward counted to seven, which here represents the number seven, the number of death.
Li Qingyu also felt that time was running out.
And so his will solidified.
It locked onto the little baby beside it.
"Use... Crimson Degeneration!!"
...
"One!~"
"Two!~"
"Three!~"
...
The surroundings were completely silent, except for the faint counting sound of the number seven gourd.
Li Qingyu's spirits seemed somewhat low.
After all, if even Crimson can't be used, then his only trump card... is his good looks.
However, making a living based on looks is possible...
Relying on looks to compete seems a bit far-fetched.
"Five!~"
Six!
The counting continued, and Li Qingyu, anxious and for some reason, suddenly remembered...
Crimson's full name is Crimson Eye.
But deep red actually comes in two types.
Crimson and... eyes.
The pure version, which only possesses the ability to evolve, represents crimson.
The Eye includes items such as inventory slots, the will of the old man and sister, and all sorts of random abilities that have been degenerated, refined, or synthesized.
But coincidentally...
As a gourd, he has no eyes.
Now, what he uses to observe the world is merely an extension of his will...
So, you see...
"Degeneration is useless, but that doesn't mean..."
Li Qingyu was certain in his heart.
"Use... Crimson Evolution!!!"
As Li Qingyu's order was given.
In an instant, the square-faced little doll, number four, dressed in a green vine outfit and standing two body lengths away from Li Qingyu, was directly ignited and enveloped by deep red flames.
at the same time.
The seventh gourd, we just happened to count to seven.
However, the commotion caused by the fourth baby made the charming old man temporarily forget his idea of crushing the seventh gourd and instead focused his attention on the fourth baby, who was enveloped in the flames of evolution.
"Wow!~"
"My...my fourth husband is on fire!~"
The charming old man looked very anxious.
Li Qingyu, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.
Evolution is good enough as long as it works.
Regardless of what that thing evolved into, it temporarily attracted the attention of the old man with the snake tail, disrupting his rhythm.
And during this period...
He is safe.
Thinking of this.
Li Qingyu then focused his attention on the number seven purple gourd that hadn't been crushed by the old man with the snake tail.
"Little guy, I'm sorry, I'll use you as an experiment first."
Originally, Li Qingyu was preparing to evolve himself.
But since there are readily available test subjects...
Boom!!
In an instant, crimson flames surged from the surface of the No. 7 gourd and enveloped it.
Evolution, doubling.
