My stats are higher than yours!

"The Laughing Apostle?"

"Yes."

Bai Shuodong nodded slowly, but besides the Laughing Apostle, he also had a legendary Laughing profession... the Source of Laughing. Why would a legendary Source of Laughing suddenly appear?

It's so hard to guess...

If I really choose the Source of Laughter, will I become an Outer God? Will it spread and produce Apostles? No way? No way?

“Although your constitution is special, there is still a limit to the ever-increasing laughter factor. I can help you seal the laughter factor in your body,” the school doctor said earnestly, looking at him.

"I am a forbidden traveler."

Bai Shuodong said.

"..."

The school doctor stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed. The laugh was one of relief, but also of helplessness.

He continued, "Speechless. No wonder he was chosen as a Forbidden Walker. The reputation of the Forbidden Walkers is truly beyond words."

It doesn't feel like a legitimate reputation.

Bai Shuodong had nothing to say.

Anyway, with [Adaptive Evolution], the continuous strengthening of the Laughter Factor is a good thing, as subsequent attribute growth is expected.

"Oh right, the Blood Demon Armor problem is actually quite simple to solve."

"This thing originally possessed spirituality, and it was also the kind of cursed equipment that had the instinct to protect its owner and was growing. In fact, it was considered mild among cursed equipment. If it were any other highly aggressive equipment, you would have died eight hundred times over."

"If you see a black light in the future, run immediately. Don't hesitate at all. If you can escape, you're lucky. If you can't, just wait to die. Maybe you can die with some dignity by committing suicide."

"Otherwise..."

The school doctor didn't finish his sentence, but the expression on his face said it all. If he were to be entangled by some special cursed equipment, it might be better to die than live.

For example, cursed equipment such as "Eroding Will" or "Corrupting Spirit" can erode the user's spirit beyond recognition, eventually turning them into something neither human nor ghost, burning themselves out in madness, and possibly even destroying the things and people they once cherished most in endless pain.

"I know."

Bai Shuodong nodded slowly and answered confidently, "I couldn't run away at the time, and I didn't have anything to save my life."

"...Go ask Lao Bi for it. Becoming a legendary-level psionicist comes with standard equipment."

"As for this thing, you just need to try to establish a deeper connection with it through mental communication. If possible, it would be safer to trick it into signing a contract."

"The Blood Demon Armor is of low quality right now, and its spirituality has not been fully awakened. It only has some very limited instincts. It is actually the easiest to lure it at this time. It may just be a little temperamental when you come into contact with it later."

"But it's not a big problem, as long as the terms are clearly written. I have a draft contract here, I'll give it to you, just copy it word for word."

The school doctor took out a stack of papers that was a meter high from the storage space, with an incredibly bright smile on his face.

"These...these are all contracts?"

Bai Shuodong's eyes widened in surprise. What kind of contracts could be piled up so high?

"Comprehensive."

"Ok."

"Get lost, brat! I'm going to the spirit world too, and I won't be back for a while. You probably won't see me for a bit," the school doctor said with a smile and a wave.

"Uh-huh."

...

Half a day later

Private training room

"Blood Demon Armor, Blood Demon Armor, are you hungry and want to absorb life force? Come on, sign this, and I'll let you draw..."

"No, I didn't agree to you drawing it directly? Aren't you being a bit unethical?"

"Gan!"

Bai Shuodong cursed under his breath, feeling his body gradually weakening. He was still thinking about how to lure the Blood Demon Armor, since bloodletting and kidnapping were probably out of the question.

The next moment, after absorbing all the life force, the Blood Demon Armor actually extended its tentacles to contact the contract.

[Hint: The contract has been reached]

[The contract terms are as follows: First, Party B shall not intentionally harm Party A in any form... (2000 million words omitted)]

"Hey Hey!"

Bai Shuodong instantly grinned mischievously, stroking the Blood Demon Armor and saying, "Oh, my little darling, you signed! You finally signed! From now on, you can't take my blood anymore!"

Blood Demon Armor: €€°€€°€€€€€-

"Do you know how annoying it is to have your blood drawn every hour? I can't sleep well at night. Because of you, I've been having insomnia every night. Every time I'm about to fall asleep, you wake me up. Do you know how mean you are?!"

"From today onwards, your blood draws are entirely under my control! Hahaha! That's awesome!"

Blood Demon Armor: (€€o€€€€€€€€€€o€€€€€€€€`)

"I command you now, immediately! Drain my life force down to 100%, and then drain as much as it recovers!"

Blood Demon Armor: "?"

"You have to eat, whether you can or not! You're under my control now! Understand?"

...

Half an hour later

Bai Shuodong arrived at the school cafeteria and ate the food heartily. The energy from the food entered his body and was then transformed into his life force, filling him with vitality.

However, his vitality recovery rate was much slower than before.

He looked at the food in front of him and muttered to himself with a serious expression, "This is bad. The blood draw was too fast, which is causing the food to not be digested fast enough. Only when the food is digested can it be truly converted into my energy and my vitality. It seems that I am still too weak."

Quietly, his life points slowly rose to 101.

Bai Shuodong tilted his head in confusion, then looked at the Blood Demon Armor again; it seemed the armor couldn't absorb anything anymore.

waste!

I only gave it over 10,000 life points in half an hour, and it couldn't handle that?

You're a growth item! You're the infamous cursed item! Even though your current quality is only bronze, and you normally only absorb 200 life force per hour—equivalent to eating several days' worth of food in half an hour… so what! You're not satisfied with absorbing more? Do you think anyone else would give you that chance?

really...

These growth items aren't good either!

At the same time, Bai Shuodong also clearly understood a very crucial issue.

That is, although his various abilities can increase the speed of life recovery, the energy stored in his body has an absolute limit, which is only about a hundred times the upper limit of life. In order to replenish it later, he must eat new food.

Otherwise, even if he had various abilities to restore life, his energy would not be enough to support the restoration of his vitality.

Reality isn't a game; you can't have unlimited health regeneration just because you have life. It depends on your condition.

in addition...

After the contract was completed, the description of the Blood Demon Armor also changed.

Blood Demon Armor

Rank: First Rank

Quality: Bronze (Upgradeable)

Equipment type: Armor

Defense: 18 (applies only to armored areas)

Durability: ∞

Equipment requirements: None

Equipment effect: Strength +4, Agility +4, Constitution +4, Maximum Health +200

Equipment characteristics:

① Blood Rejection: The Blood Demon Armor no longer craves blood and begs the host not to pour life force into it so recklessly. It has developed a certain fear of absorbing life force and feels that it is about to burst.

Additional information: If the Blood Demon Armor grows, the maximum amount of life force it can absorb will also increase.

② Blood Curse: The Blood Demon Armor possesses a special spirituality, but because it was required to absorb too much life force in a short period of time, it dares not refuse to let you take off the armor. After being abandoned, it will not trigger the [Blood Demon Curse], but will only remember your existence and secretly curse you in its heart.

[Blood Demon Curse]: The Blood Demon Armor will use the blood within the armor as a medium to cast a curse. The cursed unit will suffer 10 [instant death] judgments per second for one hour.

③ Blood Mourning: Blood Armor craves an eternal host. When it appears, it will automatically bind to the nearest high-quality unit as quickly as possible and actively enter the equipped state immediately.

Additional information: You have been blacklisted.

If the host is killed by an enemy, the Blood Demon Armor will use the indiscriminate [Blood Demon Curse] on all targets within a very large surrounding area, exhausting all blood energy and automatically reducing its quality to Black Iron level.

Additional information: This passive ability applies to you.

④ Blood Protection: Omitted. (No changes)

[Demon Blood]: 945

Supplement ①: It can be replenished by consuming blood, and the effect is better with the user's own blood.
