Others are fighting hard but I am the first to show off. I am rated S?

The dull and boring daily life will completely wipe out your enthusiasm and expectations, and in the end you will have to run away!

The great cause has been accomplished, all that’s left is for me to ascend the throne. The F-level rating is already within my grasp, there’s no way I can escape, hahaha!

With his eyes closed, Li Jing had already begun to imagine how he would squander the lifespan and power after gaining ten thousand years of lifespan and one hundred million points of source power.

Will my life span be deducted if I fail to complete the main quest?

If you fail to complete the world mission, your life span will be shortened, and all human beings on the blue planet will suffer?

I'm sorry, but I have plenty of life to spare. No matter how difficult the main storyline or world mission is, they will be crushed into slag by the absolute power of my 100 million source points!

Li Jing fell asleep happily with full joy.

It’s a pity that his joy could not continue in the dream and he had a nightmare.

Li Jing was whipped thousands of times by Xiaoguai in his nightmare.

"Good morning, Brother Li Jing. I have prepared breakfast, but I don't know if it suits your taste."

When Li Jing got up from the bed, Xiaoguai had already prepared dinner and was sitting obediently at the dining table waiting for him.

When he saw the girl's face, his eyelids twitched subconsciously, and he felt inexplicable phantom pain all over his body, as if he had really been whipped thousands of times by Xiaoguai.

However, when I looked closely, the little boy in front of me was well-behaved and cute, and there was no trace of the domineering, cruel and tyrannical look in the nightmare.

Li Jing scratched his head.

Strange, why would I have such a dream?

He rubbed his eyes and sat down at the dining table. His breakfast was a sandwich with hot milk. He ate it casually and felt that steamed buns, fried dough sticks, porridge and soy milk were more delicious in the morning.

Occasionally, milk splashed out of the cup and bread crumbs scattered on the table. Xiaoguai took out a tissue and wiped them off very carefully.

After breakfast, Xiaoguai brought him a washbasin, squeezed toothpaste in it, filled it with mouthwash, then cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

[Damn it, damn Li Jing, my parents are not so good to me! ]

[Good morning, brothers. I saw this scene when I woke up early in the morning. As a single dog, I simply cannot stand it! ]

[Yesterday, the first kill of the soldier king Xu Hao made me so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. I think the second and third players who killed the Nightmare Beast will appear soon. Killing the King of Nightmare Beast is really not a dream! ]

[So, will Li Jing get information about the Nightmare Beast from Xiaoguai today? ]

[Many players in other live broadcast rooms have also come into contact with local survivors and found a lot of clues and information. For example, Nightmare Beasts are monsters that emerge from nightmares. Nightmare Beasts have strange shapes and appearances, but their colors are generally black. Nightmare Beasts may appear in everyone's nightmares. Nightmare Beasts will indiscriminately attack all humans within their field of vision, etc...]

[I haven't seen any players discover how to avoid the Nightmare Beast. The survivors that other players met seemed to know it, but they refused to tell no matter how the players induced or questioned them. They were very vigilant.]

[Li Jing's place seems to be the most promising, but if he doesn't ask again, I don't want to stay here anymore.]

[He is just trying to whet our appetite with this, will he ask? He definitely can’t! ]

[Isn't he afraid that keeping people on suspense will make them feel disgusted and give bad reviews? ]

[If his IQ was really that high, he wouldn't be lying here, but would quickly get information out of Xiaoguai and think about how to use this information to kill the Nightmare Beast to gain source power, and then embark on the path of killing monsters to become stronger.]

[Brother Hao has shared the existence of the source of power and called on the players in his city to lead everyone in hunting nightmare beasts, making progress together and becoming stronger so as to complete the world mission. On the other hand, someone, haha. ]

Tian'an City.

Xu Hao and three other players successfully killed the Nightmare Beast again!

Exploding the Internet again!

"Brother Hao, we did it! We really did it!"

At the edge of the battlefield, a short-haired young man looked excitedly at the dying Nightmare Beast on the ground, and his expression was full of joy and excitement when he looked at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao's face was firm and stern, and he was not affected by fame or disgrace. He pointed at the nightmare beast on the ground and handed the gun in his hand to him.

"He Jian, you come and kill this nightmare beast."

“No, no, no!” He Jian waved his hands repeatedly. “The main contributor to defeating it was you, Brother Hao. How could I…”

"Take it!"

Xu Hao stuffed the gun into his hand, and there was an indescribable sense of power in his voice.

"What we are facing now is only the lowest level nightmare beast. Even so, I still need your help to defeat it, even if I have obtained the source of power."

"The power of one person is ultimately limited. Only when more players possess source power and unite together, and only when our collective strength is combined into a steel-like will and transformed into an indestructible spear, will we have hope of killing the Nightmare Beast King of this city."

"He Jian, pull the trigger and kill it!"

"Yes, Brother Hao!"

He Jian tensed his body in an instant, like a loyal soldier who had received an order, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, killing the nightmare beast which was on the verge of death.

boom!

At the moment of the Nightmare Beast's death, some kind of gift from heaven, some kind of mysterious energy descended upon him from the unknown, making him reborn.

He opened his eyes, took a deep breath, clenched his fists and looked at Xu Hao with shining eyes.

"I feel it, Brother Hao! I've become much stronger!"

Even though he had obtained the source of power and had initially escaped the realm of mortals, the admiration and passion in his eyes as he looked at Xu Hao remained undiminished.

Xu Hao patted his shoulder and looked at the other two.

"Guan Zhi, Xie Ke, don't worry, He Jian and I will help you get the source of power right away."

"Yes, Brother Hao!"

The two men spoke in loud voices and with piercing eyes.

Since the first kill of the Nightmare Beast, a team with Xu Hao as the backbone has quickly formed around him.

At this moment, he has been regarded by more and more people on the blue planet as the hope of mankind, a star rising brightly from the disaster.

Quping City.

Ander Adams sat on a bench in a dilapidated cafe, his chin resting on his elbow, sorting out the information he had collected.

The collapsed tables, scattered garbage, and thick layer of dust on the bar counter in the cafe, the dirty and messy environment did not in the least lower his aristocratic temperament and style, but instead highlighted a sense of nobility that was superior to all others.

"Nightmare beasts are born from people's nightmares. Because they are monsters that come from dreams, no matter how grotesque their appearances are or how terrifying and perverted their abilities are, they are all reasonable."

"The fear of mankind, the nightmare that exists in the subconscious mind, has turned into this concrete monster and come into reality. So is there anything to be afraid of this monster?"

"In other words, if the nightmare beast is originally a projection of a certain thing or phenomenon that people fear in reality, then if we find this thing and reproduce this phenomenon, will it have a certain impact on the nightmare beast? Is this the weakness of the nightmare beast?"

"It's an interesting inference, but it's a little troublesome to verify it."

"After all, those native survivors I met yesterday seemed to be hiding a lot from me."

Ander Adams put down his empty coffee cup, stood up gracefully, and walked towards the survivors' settlement he encountered yesterday with an aristocratic smile.

The cup was empty, there was no coffee in it.

But Ender knew that he would soon get everything he needed from the survivors.

Intelligence, and rich, mellow coffee. He smelled the scent of coffee on the leader yesterday.

It’s great that even in this apocalypse, there is still coffee to drink.

"Brother Li Jing, is it delicious?" Xiaoguai opened his eyes wide in anticipation.

The rich and mellow coffee flows into your mouth through the gaps between your teeth, enveloping your taste buds.

Li Jing put down the teacup in his hand.

"Although I am not used to the taste of coffee, the coffee ground by you, Xiaoguai, is surprisingly good."

"Brother Li Jing, as long as you like it."

Xiaoguai's eyes were filled with joy and he happily stretched out his arms in front of him.

Li Jing tacitly grasped the delicate white arm, and gently stroked a light red scar on it with his fingers.

This was their agreement. Every time Xiaoguai completed a task for him, he would heal a wound for her.

"Brother Li Jing, thank you."

Looking at the finger that was gently smoothing out the scars on his skin, Xiaoguai lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you for not abandoning me the first time. You are not afraid that a nightmare beast will jump out of my body."

what?

what are you saying?

Suddenly, Xiaoguai said something incredible without making any sound. Li Jing's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to raise his head, he heard Xiaoguai say:

"But I guess Brother Li Jing must have noticed the scars on my body and knew that nightmare beasts would no longer be born in my nightmares, so he felt relieved to accept me, right?"

what?

Li Jing opened his mouth in confusion, unable to control his expression for a moment.

Xiaoguai turned his head to look at the half-empty cup of coffee beside him and smiled at him.

"Brother Li Jing, would you like a refill of coffee?"

Chapter 9 Can You Lie to Me Forever?

[What the hell! What did I just hear? ]

[I thought that when Li Jing asked Xiaoguai about the Nightmare Beast, it would become an unsolved mystery that would not be solved even after the trial, but Xiaoguai revealed a big secret right away? ]

[Xiaoguai said: Li Jing, you deliberately didn't ask, right? You didn't ask me to tell you! ]

[Puchi, brothers, did you see Li Jing's confused expression? I really want to laugh.]

Li Jing was indeed a little confused.

The amount of information revealed by Xiaoguai in just a few words was so huge that he was caught off guard.

This should obviously be common sense known to the local survivors, or it should be some kind of rule summed up from struggling to survive in the apocalypse where nightmare beasts are rampant. He should know it.

But the truth is, he doesn’t know!

He didn't understand what Xiaoguai said about a nightmare beast jumping out of his body and that because of the scars on his body, a nightmare beast would not be born even if he had a nightmare!

"So you already knew it."

Li Jing regained his composure in a very short time. He raised his teacup and motioned for Xiaoguai to refill it. He put on an unfathomable tone and said calmly:

"If it weren't for these reasons, I really wouldn't be able to accept you so quickly."

"Yes, no matter how many nightmares one has experienced, only one nightmare beast will be born in one's dream."

Xiaoguai looked at the scars on his arm with a sad expression and said, "So the moment Brother Li Jing saw these scars on my body, he must have guessed it right away."

"It is precisely because a nightmare beast has already been born from my nightmare that no matter how it treats me in the future, no matter how it beats me, scolds me, or abuses me, no matter how strong the emotions or how deep the hatred, it will not be able to give birth to a destructive monster."

"So, I am nothing more than a toy, a puppet that can be bullied by anyone. Monsters called nightmare beasts will no longer run out of my body, my soul, and my nightmares. I am not a threat, I will not attract monsters, and I can be ravaged at will."

“Haha, after all, although the Nightmare Beast will kill all humans within its field of vision, it will instinctively prioritize hunting down humans whose souls and bodies do not contain the Nightmare Beast.”

【Fuck! Damn it! Damn it! 】

[At this moment, I don’t know what words to use to express my inner emotions except “F*ck!”! ]

[Information about the Nightmare Beast! A shocking secret!]

【Xiaoguai really exploded! 】

[Just came from the live broadcast room of the noble Ander Adams. What happened? What happened! ]

[Nightmare beasts are born from people's nightmares. Many people may guess this when seeing the mission background description, but only one Nightmare beast can be bred in a person's body, and the Nightmare beast will first hunt and kill pure humans who have never bred Nightmare beasts...]

[Xiaoguai, you really... Li Jing, that bastard, deliberately didn't ask, but you took our feelings into consideration and told us such important information. You are really so gentle. I am crying.]

[Can you please stop being so self-indulgent? Xiaoguai doesn’t even know about the existence of the live broadcast room. ]

[No, am I the only one who noticed the pain and loneliness in Xiaoguai's eyes and felt sorry for her? ]

[The information revealed in Xiaoguai's words can be understood as follows: As long as humans who have given birth to Nightmare Beasts can hide well, they are actually safer because they will not become the target of Nightmare Beasts. This is also the reason why Xiaoguai was able to survive alone for so long.]

[But for some survivors with malicious intentions, this also means... I don't want to continue to associate it. ]

【Little cutie, my little cutie! 】

[Don’t cry, dear baby, mommy will hug you...]

Li Jing lowered his head and looked at Xiaoguai's pitiful expression, watching her calmly speak words that contained a lot of information in a nonchalant tone, and the chuckle at the corner of her mouth that was not sure whether it was self-mockery or self-pity.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.
