Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 3 The tragedy of annihilation
  Looking at the results of skill optimization, Ke Ling couldn't help but rub his temples and thought on the bright side, at least he wouldn't have to eat people in the future, right?

But think about it again, aren’t ghosts also transformed from humans? !
  "I'm so damn convinced!"

Ke Ling was a little bit off guard, but he quickly figured out that if you can't optimize once, you can continue to optimize!
  This time I have progressed to the point where I can eat ghosts, so maybe I can eat grass next time? Maybe next time I can eat normal food?

And no matter what, ghosts can't be considered humans. Every time he eats a ghost, he is contributing to the harmony of the world!

This result is barely acceptable.

"This system is indeed a bit outrageous. Let's find a way to continue upgrading first. According to my experience in playing games for many years, upgrading will give attribute points, skill points, skill optimization points, etc."

As long as there are more skill optimization points, this shortcoming can always be optimized!

One of Ke Ling's strengths is his optimism. People who can enjoy hardships often have a bit of tenacity in their character and will not be easily knocked down by difficulties. At present, these difficulties are not enough to stop Ke Ling from moving forward.

After closing the [Personal] page, Ke Ling opened the [World] interface again. He wanted to see if the charging progress bar of the time-travel function had moved away.

"Already reached 10%?"

Ke Ling was a little surprised. Not long after he came to this world, the cooling progress of the [Travel] function had already reached 10%. This progress bar went very quickly.

"It seems that the cooling time of this time-travel function is very short, maybe only one or two days."

Because he didn't know the exact time now, Ke Ling couldn't be sure. He just made a rough estimate.

He felt that he had been in this world for no more than five hours, and he had already made 10% of the progress in five hours. The cooldown would be completed in about two days.

This means that it only takes about two days for Ke Ling to start his next trip to another world.

"In the next two days, the main mission is to survive, and the side mission is to upgrade. Upgrade as much as possible, earn skill optimization points, and then optimize the shortcomings of the [Ghost Transformation] skill."

Ke Ling set a small goal for himself, to survive until two days later. With his appearance now, survival is definitely a big problem.

As for whether to leave after two days, it would have to be decided by ear. At least there will be an escape route by then. If you encounter danger, you can directly choose to leave this world.

Ke Ling is suffering from hunger now. He doesn't know how long he can endure it, but he will always stick to his bottom line.

Looking in the direction of the cave entrance, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind kept pouring into the cave.

"So, although this start is hellish enough, it's not that hellish, right?"

Leaning on the rock wall of the cave, Ke Ling smiled helplessly and accepted the reality.

In the midst of hunger, Ke Ling forced himself to fall asleep. The physical and mental impact made him feel tired enough. The most important thing was that he wanted to get over this "hungry" energy.

Then, after not knowing how long he had slept, Ke Ling was awakened by a scent, which was the same as the scent he had smelled at the foot of the mountain before.

"somebody is coming?"

Ke Ling immediately realized this when he opened his eyes. After all, at this time, the only creature that could make him feel "smells fragrant" was "human". The smell of ghosts was completely different from this.

Ke Ling was instantly alert. At the same time, he was also trying hard to restrain his drool, which was already flooding. I wonder if it was because he was too hungry. The taste was a bit too fragrant, right? !
  "Gulu."

Ke Ling swallowed a sip of saliva and looked towards the entrance of the cave. It was already dawn, and the light at the entrance was particularly dazzling, as if it would explode if he looked at it one more time.

At the entrance, a boy was looking in, and Ke Ling could see that there was an obvious scar on his forehead that looked like a burn.

"Is this Tanjiro Kamado?"

The first time he saw the boy, Ke Ling thought of the protagonist in the world of "Demon Slayer". Now he is used to the transformation of anime characters into real-life styles.

"Hello, is anyone in there?"

Tanjiro Kamado poked his head around the entrance of the cave, but he didn't go in directly. Instead, he asked politely at the entrance of the cave.

Kamado Tanjiro's nose is very sensitive, the kind of sensitivity that is beyond ordinary people's understanding. When he passed by here, he smelled a special smell, a smell that he had never smelled before.

This is why Kamado Tanjiro came here. He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, filled with charcoal. He was going to sell charcoal at the foot of the mountain.

"Sorry, I'm a little inconvenient, please don't come in, okay?"

After realizing who the person at the door was, Ke Ling immediately answered, but the moment he spoke, he was stunned for a moment. When did he master Japanese?

Just now, he didn't even notice that Kamado Tanjiro was speaking Japanese, because he understood it without any difficulty.

But Ke Ling soon found out the reason. Isn't it normal for the [Extreme System], which allows people to travel through the world, to have its own language translation function? This is the most basic function.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I was abrupt!"

After receiving the response from the "mysterious creature" in the cave, Tanjiro Kamado was a little surprised. He first apologized, and then turned around and left honestly.

But before leaving, he still hesitated and turned his head, then asked into the cave:

"Excuse me, do you need any help?"

Kamado Tanjiro was surprised because he didn't expect that there was actually a human inside. After all, the smell seemed completely different from the human smell he was most familiar with.

But since he was a human and it sounded like he was in trouble, Tanjiro Kamado was willing to provide some help. Being stuck in the mountains in this weather was not a good thing.

"Thank you, but no, please just leave me alone."

There was a voice coming from the cave, obviously with the intention of asking people outside to leave quickly.

Tanjiro Kamado rubbed his nose awkwardly. It seemed that his appearance had indeed disturbed the people in the cave, maybe disturbing their rest.

He thought for a moment, if he was woken up by a stranger, he would probably feel uncomfortable, and it would be difficult to respond politely.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, I'll leave now." Thinking of this, Kamado Tanjiro bowed to the cave, and then ran away directly, for fear of being urged by the people in the cave again.

Ke Ling waited for a moment, and after confirming that Tanjiro Kamado had really left, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I haven't watched "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", Ke Ling still knows that the protagonist is a professional demon slayer.

Although Ke Ling has never eaten anyone, if Tanjiro Kamado saw his salivating look, the ghost hunter probably wouldn't believe what he said, right?
  "I have to hold back. Once some bottom lines are breached, it will be difficult to come back."

Although Ke Ling's brain was dizzy from hunger, he still thought clearly on this point.

You can't eat people, you absolutely can't eat people. Once you start eating people, you will get out of control.

If he really fell to that point, he would be no different from those evil ghosts. Even if the side effects of "cannibalism" were optimized later, the mental change would be irreversible.

Holding back his hunger, Ke Ling continued to sleep. It was still daytime and he couldn't go out. He had no other way except relying on sleep to resist hunger.

Under such circumstances, it was not easy to fall asleep. The feeling of hunger kept eroding Ke Ling's spirit, making him toss and turn. This was another kind of pain that was different from physical pain.

He endured it in the cave until the sun went down. At this time, Ke Ling, who was almost dizzy from hunger, finally walked out of the cave with red eyes.

Of course, Ke Ling knew very well that the arrival of night did not necessarily mean safety, because for other ghosts, it was also a time for activities.

But now, he does not belong to the human side, and may be hunted by "similar" ghosts. Even at night, he has to be careful.

Walking through the mountains and forests, Ke Ling couldn't help but sigh at the primitiveness of this place. He had never been to such deep mountains and old forests before living in a reinforced concrete city.

"Are there any animals? I want to upgrade"

Although this [Extreme System] does not say how to obtain experience, Ke Ling is a person who has played many games after all. The most classic way to obtain experience points is naturally "killing monsters".

But unfortunately, the snow was still falling. Although it was lighter than during the day, there should not be any animals wandering outside in this weather. He had no chance to verify it.

The moon was so dim that there was almost no light, and there were no signs of animal or human activity in the mountains and forests. Only the wind and snow kept howling.

Ke Ling walked alone among them. His body was not very cold, but his heart felt cold. He had been walking in the mountains for two or three hours without gaining anything.

If he hadn't marked a tree every few steps after leaving the cave, he would have been completely lost in the wind and snow in the forest.

"Why don't you go back?"

Just as Ke Ling was about to walk back, a scent that was so strong that it almost made him faint entered his nostrils.

"This is."

Ke Ling, who had been tortured by hunger, couldn't help but move forward and approached the direction where the aroma came from.

"Someone."

Ke Ling tried hard to keep his head clear. He knew what this fragrance meant. He finally met someone in the forest.

However, this smell seems a bit too strong, stronger than what I smelled before, and it seems to have overflowed.

Driven by hunger, Ke Ling quickly rushed to the source of the aroma, and then he knew why the smell was so fragrant.

"It's really overflowing, even the intestines are overflowing."

What appeared in front of Ke Ling's eyes was the scene of a massacre. In a wooden house, a mother, three boys, and two girls, the whole family could be said to have died neatly.

"Wait a minute. One of them seems to be alive."

Hunger was constantly eroding Ke Ling's brain, causing problems with his judgment. One of the older girls was still alive.

"I"

Ke Ling wanted to help and see if the child could be saved, but he couldn't move now, and his brain kept urging him.

"Eat! Eat! I'm so hungry! Don't you want to level up?! Maybe you can level up just by eating people! Go and eat!"

The voice of the devil as if coming from hell kept whispering in his ears, constantly eroding Ke Ling's tense nerves.

"Crack!"

There was a sound of biting flesh.

The pain made Ke Ling clearer. He bit his arm deeply, and blood seeped out quickly, but the wound healed quickly before the blood flowed much.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you anymore. I have to promise not to eat you. If you stay here any longer, I really won't be able to bear it."

Taking advantage of his mind to clear up again, Ke Ling turned around and left. He ran as fast as he could to leave this fragrant place.

In the wind and snow, Ke Ling returned along the original route following the marks he had made before. He had bitten him countless times along the way.

Returning to the cave and leaning on the rock wall again, Ke Ling was breathing heavily, with blood on his face. Due to the low temperature, the blood on his face had already condensed.

"But why do I feel like I'm not that hungry anymore?"

Leaning on the rock wall, Ke Ling looked at his arms. An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he got out of hand.

"Did I find a system bug?"
