SFS Chapter 227 We call it efficiency
Chapter 227 We call it efficiency
Bai Ming rubbed his hands. It was a miracle of fate. A real duel. All this was inevitable. Dora!
Draw the card of destiny, hit the mark with one shot!
...
[Congratulations on obtaining the "Zero Card Draw Master in the Absolute Zone (Purple)"]
[Master of Zero Card Drawing in the Absolute Zone]: You will definitely get gold if you draw zero cards in the absolute zone.
Ah this... Bai Ming was speechless. Can't you change it so that I will get gold when I draw a card?
There is no absolute zone zero in this world. Although it is purple, what’s the difference between that and nothing?
...
[Congratulations on obtaining the "Enhanced Hyperion Technology Blueprint (Gold)"]
[Enhanced Hyperion]: All equipment including ship-borne weapons have been fully upgraded, allowing it to travel freely in the Quantum Sea.
Good news: With the cooperation of the snail that chased people before, you can go to the moon and watch the stars, that’s great.
Bad news: departure time is undetermined.
[Congratulations on obtaining the "Colossus" technology blueprint (gold)]
[Colossus]: Star-destroying weapon, we call it highly efficient. Production: 6905.60 billion alloys, daily maintenance: 28.59 billion HW Houkai energy per month, and 9.11 million alloys
The maintenance costs alone are outrageous, and we can’t afford to do it or maintain it.
[Birthday Cake Exchange Coupon*1 (White)]: Use it to get a beautiful and delicious birthday cake
Why don't I make one myself?
...
[Remaining emotion value: 0]
After spending so much gold, is there only one that can be used in the end?
Bai Ming was very depressed. When could he finally feel the invincible loneliness?
Why am I so tired? If there is no will to stop me.
I can stock up on 456 draws for this instance, ask the European Emperor Qiyana to help me, and then I can become invincible. Then wouldn't it be good to end this book with a bad ending? It has to be like this, really.
………………
Just then, Rita came back and told Bai Ming that there was no child named Yaesakura in this village.
Hasn't she been born yet? Bai Ming thought, is Karin considered an old cow eating young grass?
Kallen was already 24 years old when she came to Yae Village, and maybe Yaesakura had just reached adulthood not long ago at that time.
After all, in the world of Honkai, girls' appearance will not change when they grow up to a certain age. It is hard to tell the difference between a 14-year-old, a -year-old, a -year-old, and a -year-old.
In addition, Rita also found out other information.
“Because there is a lack of rivers here and the surrounding areas, they have been plagued by drought for a long time, so each village worships a god.
Among them, Yae Village enshrines a god - the fox god. As long as sacrifices are made to it, the fox god will appear and provide rain for the village.
The villagers here hold a ceremony almost every ten years to sacrifice a young girl to pray for rain."
The official didn't say what the fox god is, is it Honkai Beast?
There are indeed people in Shenzhou who worship the Honkai Beast as a god and gain power through sacrifice (actually awakening the Honkai Beast to absorb the high concentration of Honkai energy (true qi) overflowing from the Honkai Beast for cultivation).
But this fox god is obviously different. A sacrifice once guarantees good weather for ten years. It doesn't seem like a Honkai beast.
Bai Ming was a little curious and wanted to go and take a look, so he took Rita out of the teahouse and onto the street.
The villagers on the road stopped and looked at them, not only because of their strange clothes or outstanding looks, but also because of their extraordinary temperament, which did not seem like that of an ordinary person.
It's completely different from these peasants, it seems like they are not from the same era.
The beautiful girl at the back has a respectful attitude and should be a servant, while the handsome young man at the front is probably a distinguished figure.
The villagers didn't have much knowledge, so they thought that the two were an adult and a servant from some famous family, out for a trip.
Bai Ming walked forward and bumped into him at the corner.
"Please forgive me, sir. I didn't mean it."
The girl who fell to the ground looked scared and timid, and looked very pitiful.
Bai Ming: “…”
Good man, if you hadn’t searched all my pockets just now, I would have believed it.
This speed is comparable to that of the Cloud-Seeking Hand. If I were an ordinary person, I would not have felt that the opponent had succeeded.
His things are usually placed in the system space, and no one can steal them.
Rita also discovered it, but since nothing was stolen, she did not take any action until Bai Ming gave the order.
"roll!"
Bai Ming shouted coldly, and the girl fled in panic. Before she had walked a few meters, she bumped into a passerby.
But this time, it was her turn to be robbed, and Bai Ming saw it clearly.
What a bunch of unruly people. It seems like all the people in this village are born in the same group.
Why not just shoot them all? As for Yaesakura and Yae Rin, if they had not been born, Yae Rin would not have had to endure the pain brought by weakness, illness and death.
There was no need for Yaesakura to worry about her sister's illness, as she watched her sister being murdered by her own father.
The people in this village also knew that if they died they would no longer have to feel the pain brought by the drought, and at the same time they could warn the soul of the girl they had sacrificed before.
Just when Bai Ming was about to kill, Thief B, who had just robbed Thief A, came over.
Seeing this, Bai Ming was very unhappy. You also want to make a fortune from me? I was thinking about how to let you go, but now I have to kill you.
Sinai!
【? ? ? (Emotion) Collector】: 0.005%
But the next second, he took out a bag full of money and handed it to Bai Ming respectfully and gracefully:
"Sir, that guy just now was a pickpocket. I helped you get your purse back."
Because Bai Ming looked like a rich man, this person thought that the biggest purse belonged to Bai Ming.
However, it was because of the behavior of the man in front of him that Bai Ming was stunned for a moment and then began to rethink.
Everyone has a dark side and a bright side in their heart.
We cannot deny the bright side because of the dark side, and we cannot kill the good people mixed in just because there are bad people among them.
Perhaps there is a reason why the custom of sacrificial offerings emerged in Shinano and Yae Village in Japan.
Due to the lack of rivers, the country has been plagued by drought for a long time. Water is the source of life. Without water, everyone will die.
Sacrificing a child may be just the lesser of two evils after weighing the pros and cons.
We lose our humanity, we lose a lot, we lose our animality, we lose everything, all for the sake of survival.
There is a reason why poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. If you can't even survive, what else can you consider?
Having never experienced the despair of drought, Bai Ming felt that he was standing on a moral high ground.
Come from the masses and go to the masses. Without investigation, there is no right to speak.
In addition to such righteous people in the village, there will of course also be good children like Yae Sakura and Yae Rin.
Man: "Sir?"
Bai Ming shook his head: "It's not mine. She didn't steal anything from me."
"No? What about this purse?" The man was slightly stunned. Bai Ming had already walked away with Rita. They were just walking normally, but they were unusually fast.
…………
"Rita, what about that man?" Bai Ming asked.
Although his total age was 50,000 years old, due to long-term work, his experience was still inferior to Rita's.
The other party has seen everyone, remembers the name of every Valkyrie, helps Otto deal with dirty work, and has seen all kinds of people.
Bai Ming has never even been to a KTV to have fun. Compared with Rita, he is just a pure and clear-eyed model student, and his judgment of people is unsteady.
Rita smiled slightly. She knew what Bai Ming wanted to ask, so she answered:
"Based on my experience of judging people, he is a good person, not pretending, and there is no acting involved."
"Yeah." Bai Ming responded lightly and began to think about a solution.
The two came to the altar and the statue of the fox god.
Bai Ming put his hand on it and sensed it. There was no aura of Honkai energy. It was simply a stone statue of a fox. There shouldn't be any Honkai beast sealed underneath.
The fox statue is unremarkable, and even if you break it the villagers will probably just get another one.
And even if the fox god was eliminated, it would be useless. Without water, the villagers would still bring in a cat god or a dog god. In fact, the problem was not solved at all.
Have to think of a way.
I think there was something similar useful before, let me look for my backpack.
