Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

No.

After all the hard work, just -1?

"Clap."

Su Ming lit a cigarette.

I watched Noellea digging through the pile of stones at the entrance of the village, kneeling in front of me and crying bitterly.

I think I can understand it.

After all, in her current state, she has no interest in what others do, and they may not even care about anything they do to her. All she thinks about is revenge.

She buried the parents she had dug up again, and buried the two heads she had brought back under the rocks. Then...

"Please lend me a light."

"?"

"Cigarettes, lighters."

Did you come to borrow it because you saw that you could light a fire with your lighter?

give her.

Soon, the village was ablaze. Even though it had just rained, the fire could be lit from inside the house. The village was completely gone.

"Where are we going to get food after ordering? We haven't even changed our clothes yet."

Su Ming rescued some dry food and two sets of relatively clean clothes from the house.

"..."

She returned the lighter to Su Ming and never spoke again. She just stared at the sea of ​​fire in silence. She didn't smile either, her expression was more like... dazed?

"Do you know which way is the nearest town or village?"

"…Keep going north."

10 month 27 day.

Night.

I knew that such a remote place would be far from a big town, but I never thought it would be this far.

We walked on the muddy mountain road for most of the day without even seeing the shadow of a town.

"Crack."

Instead, he took out some dry food from the cloth bag and gave it to Noellea.

[Random side quest completed]

[Points*1 have been accumulated (Note: will be settled together with your final score)]

It looks like the points can’t be used for the time being and can only be accumulated.

"..."

Su Ming also took a bite of something that looked like a raw potato that he had found in the village.

unpalatable.

It was no different from the lemonade I drank at the Winter Market, which was jokingly called "silk stocking milk tea". To be more specific, it was more like chewed sugar cane.

10 month 27 day.

late at night.

Su Ming caught some game and luckily found a hole that was probably made by a wild boar or something. It could barely serve as a shelter. He roasted the pheasant he caught in the hole.

"You should sleep."

"..."

"If I get sick now, it will be very difficult for me."

"..."

Noelia lay down with her back to Su Ming. But her eyes were still open. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would pull out her parents from the pile of stones, their faces unrecognizable and terrified before death.

"Okay, since you can't sleep, let's do some merchandising training."

“Want some chicken?”

"..."

Noelia turned her eyes away and sat up.

"If you were in front of a buyer, you should have shown a very eager expression... or flattering or something like that you could get this piece of meat in my hand."

"……How to do it?"

Her voice was extremely calm and lifeless.

"First, change the tone. This is totally unacceptable to arouse people's desire to buy."

"..."

Su Ming looked into her eyes and ate the chicken in big mouthfuls.

“…Please, give it to me.”

"Think about it again, haven't you ever seen other women act like a spoiled child?"

“…Please give it to me.”

"What's the difference from before?"

"Give me the chicken, please."

"Think about it again. Compared with begging me for a chance to take revenge, isn't there something missing when you begged me for meat now?"

"..."

"Reward. What kind of reward will I get after giving you the meat?"

"…Please give me chicken, I'll do anything."

"That's correct, but the tone of your voice... No. It's totally not worth it."

"..."

"So, you have to laugh, understand?"

[Favorability: -10]

Just teach her how to laugh. Pull her face.

The corners of his eyes finally reluctantly followed Su Ming's movements and curved into a look uglier than crying.

It's only natural that your favorability will drop when you completely disregard other people's suffering.

There must be something wrong.

This guy was just grabbing someone's intestines in front of him, but now he actually had the mood to think about what her figure would look like wearing the pajamas that An Shiyao sent her.

Damn...

"..."

But then again.

No matter how much she couldn't sleep, her energy was limited. Her body would teach her how to be a good person. She fell unconscious and might not have known she had lost consciousness until the last moment.

The ears... can be transformed, but now they always remain in a pointed shape.

Touch and see.

The cold and slightly warm pointed ears were small and covered with some mud.

I pinched my fingertips to feel the touch. Wasn't there any pulsation like an artery?

Just curiosity.

so……

"..."

Looking into those disturbed, too-lightly sleeping eyes.

"It seems that the only thing you have so far is these ears."

"..."

Noelia closed her eyes again, not resisting Su Ming's actions at all.

"...Please have mercy."

"? Isn't that a good thing to say?"

"…I heard that from Pala. It was the first day I returned to the village."

Painful memories?

"Then learn more from her."

It wasn't like Su Ming had never shown a glimmer of pity.

but……

Have pity on her, a girl who has just taken revenge and has nothing left. Homeless, with no one to rely on. Showing so-called tenderness at this time... What's the difference between this and a strategy?

Let me ask you, can you resist if this couple E hugs you?

If you can conclude without thinking that you can, then you can certainly be comforted. If you can't, then being a mercenary businessman is the best. But how can you maintain this image for 180 days or even longer?

Forget it, let's go to the town first and find her some clothes that make her look smaller than she actually is. Well, I have to say... the message An Shiyao sent gave me a good idea. I can't absolutely guarantee that there won't be any mistakes in such a long time, so I can just reject the temptation physically.

Chapter 240 But I can hear it occasionally

10 month 30 day.

Night.

Still in the mountains and forests.

"I hope you're not lying."

The man seemed to be in a bad mood. It was strange. If someone from a big city came to a small place like Roy Village, how could he not know how remote Roy Village was? How did he get here?

I had no intention of lying.

That doesn't make sense.

Tried to 'die' several times.

But no matter what, no matter how long you wait, you will be discovered.

"Your parents taught you to break your promises?"

"..."

I am always provoked by words like 'parents'.

I also have moments of being fooled. I want to tear the man in front of me to pieces.

"That's what happens when you're too weak. You can't save yourself except becoming a commodity."

"revenge?"

"If I don't help you kick it a few times, I can't do anything."

Being belittled as worthless.

But that is the fact.

If I were strong enough, my parents wouldn't have died. If I were smart enough... and could be as cold-blooded and ruthless as the man in front of me, looking down on everything with a superior attitude, then I would have been able to calmly witness my friend's death.

Can't die.

I can't go back to my original life.

What awaits me is only becoming a commodity, being traded. Will I gradually become numb to it?
