Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

This jerk is pretty arrogant. He's not that strong, but he dares to challenge a top-ten powerhouse in the universe.

Chen Feng asked how things had turned out this way. Kyle said she was craving cigarettes but couldn't find anyone to borrow one from, so she decided to try her luck in the back garden to see if she could pick up a few cigarette butts to take a puff. If all else failed, she could try rolling some cigarette hair.

"Impossible, with so many people at the party, how could you not find anyone to borrow a cigarette from?"

"They've probably all gone to take off, meow."

"That's true, but even if you can't borrow a cigarette, you can't just curl your hair up to smoke, can you?"

"Not a hair cat."

"what?"

In short, Kyle found a monster covered in pipes in the backyard.

"You dare smoke something of dubious origin? Are you out of your mind?"

"The one who inhales the mist is Junjie Meow."

"If you can live past forty after all this, that would be considered a happy death."

Chen Fengyan turned the rotor.

The monster was once poked by Kyle the Cat with a cigarette butt. If smoking next to it can make a pipe grow, then casting water magic next to it will make a water pipe grow.

This is the Sword Saint's carnival party. The captain is taking off; what if the monster sees this and tries to... guide everyone?

Upon thinking of this, Chen Feng trembled and quickly used spatial teleportation to move the monster out of the plains outside Luca City.

As soon as it landed.

Chen Feng then heard a voice: "There's a human! Take cover!"

What's going on?

Chen Feng looked around and saw countless transparent figures moving back and forth in the pitch-black night. They were all monster soldiers in stealth mode, including spiders, slimes, nightmares, and dragons.

The worst has happened.

Chen Feng is now certain that the three demon kings know that Shu Yong will attack them tomorrow, and have deployed their armies in advance, ready to launch a war at any time.

Let's go somewhere else.

Just as Chen Feng was about to leave, the monster's pipe suddenly retracted, and then the spacetime divinity within Chen Feng began to shake violently.

Ok?

Chen Feng was only in a daze when hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers around him vanished.

"Where have they been working? Are they even going home for dinner?"

After a brief moment of shock, Chen Feng sorted out his thoughts. He had used spatial teleportation on the monster, and the monster immediately copied his teleportation ability, teleporting everyone around him away.

But there's a problem here.

"When I moved the monster to Sword Saint's Castle before, I also used spatial teleportation, so why didn't it react then..." Chen Feng said, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in realization, "Oh, no wonder there were so many people at the party, but Kyle said she couldn't find anyone to offer her a cigarette."

So everyone really did take off.

Physically.

So, this monster becomes stronger when faced with a stronger opponent, and can replicate all attacks and abilities directed at itself?

"For Cihang players who like to start with their ultimate skill, this is simply their nemesis."

Chen Feng drew his bow and arrow, preparing to use the Great Bow of the Origin Magic Holy Tree Knight to actively enhance the monster.

However, the next second, he received a system notification.

【Ding! 】

[WARNING! Attacking your employer is strictly prohibited, or you will be eliminated!]

Chen Feng's eyes widened.

Isn't this the employment contract that the employment system signed with Jia Xu, King Huangfeng, and the others?

But I'm the employer, when did I become a bodyguard?

The proficiency expert changed the system notification to the sound of a whip, so why is there still a "ding" sound?

Once you've eliminated all the impossibilities, whatever remains, no matter how outrageous, is still the truth.

Chen Feng, drenched in sweat, swallowed hard. "While I was employing it, it used its abilities to mimic the system and, in turn, employed me?"

"One cigarette butt can feed into hundreds of chimneys."

"It teleported once, and in return, it teleported an army of 100,000 demons."

"Is this what a top ten powerhouse in the multiverse looks like? If a war breaks out tomorrow and this thing is placed in the middle of the battlefield... that would be a real mess."

Chen Feng lifted the monster and carried it to a secluded place.

At this moment, black mist filled the air, and the skeleton who had gone out to farm in the jungle revived and returned:

【OK】

[Boss, I've found Ai Yong's grave, but there's a protective barrier at the entrance. I need you to come over.]

what?

Chen Feng looked surprised.

Gray once said that Ai Yong is different from the legendary hero. The legendary hero ascends to the divine realm after death, while Ai Yong goes to the divine realm while still alive.

"You haven't dug up a fake grave, have you?"

Chen Feng returned to the Sword Saint's residence, intending to find Gray and ask what happened. However, after searching around, he couldn't find her. Upon asking, he learned that she had gone to the prison to find one of her subordinates.

In front of the prison cell.

Grey's voice was filled with anger: "Emma, ​​why didn't you tell me about the dark elves?"

Emma hugged her knees and curled up into a ball, saying, "I don't want to talk about it."

"Emma, ​​you've been bewitched, you know that?"

"I have not been manipulated. On the contrary, I am perfectly clear-headed, Your Majesty. Don't you see our compatriots imprisoned under the residence of Shuyong?"

"Yes, I see it."

"But you only saved that brown-haired human, while turning a blind eye to our own kind. Don't their lives matter?"

"We don't have the capacity to rescue everyone yet."

Stop making excuses. I'm very disappointed in you, really.

boom!

Grey stormed out of the prison. The moment she saw Chen Feng, she said angrily, "That silly girl got sold out and is still counting the money for the seller! Uncle, let's go! Let's eat!"

How come you can turn any topic into eating?

After hearing what had happened, Chen Feng smiled and said, "You haven't grasped one thing. The reason the Sword Hero slaughtered and abused the monster girl was because she was an animal, and it had absolutely nothing to do with her being human. Think about it, the Stick Hero was also human, but the Sword Hero still slaughtered his hometown, didn't he?"

Grey agreed, "Yes! I'll go back right now."

No.

Chen Feng said, "She's in an evil personality now, so nothing you say will make a difference. Instead of worrying about that, you should think about how to increase your combat power and grab world items."

Grey's eyes lit up: "You found someone to help you?"

Chen Feng nodded: "To be precise, we found a dead person to help us."

"What use are dead people?"

"You don't understand. Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living."

Following the black smoke, the two arrived at an orphanage in Luca City.

【OK】

This is Ai Yong's grave. I had to resurrect several of Ai Yong's former companions to find this place.

Wow, Skull Bro is awesome!

Chen Feng knocked on the door and saw that the room was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a group of monster girls in the form of toddlers were surrounding a human old man, begging for food.

Grey explained, "Tomorrow is the Luca City Festival, and according to tradition, children can ask for sweets the day before."

A Halloween similar to one on Earth?

Seeing Grey suddenly shrink into a little girl, Chen Feng was a bit embarrassed: "At your age, you're still fighting with kids for food? Can't you be a little more sensible?"

Grey popped a candy into her mouth: "Snacks? What snacks?"

A transparent slime girl tugged at the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa Headmaster, it's been so long since I've heard the stories of Luca City. Could you tell me about them?"

The dean stroked his beard: "What? We have to hear the story of Luca City again?"

As the slimes joined in the commotion, the surrounding little monster girls chimed in, "Yeah, Grandpa, tell us about it!"

The dean waved his hand, summoning a row of chairs with magic, and said in a doting tone, "I just can't do anything with you, sit down."

"That was an unrepeatable miracle."

"Five hundred years ago, on a rainy summer day, Luca, the hero of love, embarked on an adventure to realize his great ideal of coexistence between humans and demons. On his way out of the beginner village, he encountered the Nightmare Queen Alice XVI, who was seriously injured and unconscious."

"The Nightmare Queen, after being rescued, decided to travel with Luca to express her gratitude for his help. Along the way, they resolved many conflicts between monsters and humans."

"Luca's blessing of love can cleanse the evil thoughts of enemies and turn defeated monsters into cute monster girls. When these monster girls gather together, Luca Castle comes into being."

"Later, after Luca disappeared, his daughter Alice XVII took over the city of Luca."

"But monsters and humans have different lifestyles. For example, many monster girls hibernate, so they are not as good at finding jobs as humans who can work in all four seasons. For this reason, Nightmare Queen Alice XVII gave them many preferential treatments."

"For example, we can provide nutritional subsidies to mantis women so that they don't have to eat their husbands, and take care of some hibernating snake demons so that they can receive wages even in winter."

"But this path is wrong. Using unfairness to create fairness will only result in greater unfairness in the end."

"Why should humans have to work all year round? The angry citizens drove Alice XVII away."

"After Alice XVIII came to power, she immediately abolished all the preferential treatment. However, the conflict between humans and monsters had become very acute. So Alice XVIII used Origin Magic to erase everyone's memories, hoping that they could forget their hatred."

"But if you don't know how terrible war is, you won't know how precious peace is. The constant outbreak of war between humans and demons proves that forgetting hatred is a mistake. Only by remembering history can we avoid making the same mistakes."

"Alice XIX was very strong. As soon as she came to power, she used violence to suppress all wars. But it was later proven that all the massacres and wars were orchestrated by her behind the scenes in order to create hatred and realize her ambition to rule the world."

Fortunately, at the critical moment, her daughter Alice XX stopped the plot.

"After killing her mother, Alice XX did not take over as the lord of Luca Castle, but instead handed it over to everyone to elect. Although there are still conflicts between humans and monsters, we firmly believe that after generations of efforts and overcoming countless setbacks and lows, the day when humans and monster girls trust each other will eventually come."

"The beauty of a rainbow can only be seen after a heavy rain."

After the dean finished telling the story.

Grey whispered in Chen Feng's ear, "Actually, Sister Nineteen is not a war maniac. Due to the long period of violent suppression, her pent-up emotions exploded, causing a horrific bloodshed."

"Both humans and monsters were at fault in that incident. If it were made public, it would create a cycle of hatred, and Luca City would be doomed. Therefore, Sister Nineteen sacrificed herself and took on all the sins."

Chen Feng showed no surprise: "Of course. If we have to use violence to maintain peace, then peace is too fragile."

Grey said with a sense of loss, "So, humans and monsters can't coexist in the end?"

You're asking me?

Chen Feng shrugged, thinking to himself, "It's a good thing you asked me. If you had asked the Savior, he would have just said, 'Kill all the monster girls except humans, and there won't be any problems,'"

After explaining their origins to the dean, the dean led the two to a statue of a hero.

"This is what we have here related to the Hero of Love."

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome. It's past midnight. Happy Lucca!"

Happy Luka Festival!

After saying goodbye to the dean, Chen Feng began to examine the statue of the hero.

Below the statue of the hero, there is a line of small text: "Only love can create miracles."

Next to the small characters are four fire plates and a ring-shaped groove.

It seems a ring is needed to open it.

Grey speculated, "This must be the legacy left behind by the Hero of Love?"

Chen Feng suddenly remembered: "You mean that ultimate technique, Cupid's Quadruple Slash?"

If they are love rings, Chen Feng actually has two.

The Celestial Stone Ring given to me by Uncle Kuroki is one of only seven divine artifacts in the world, and it has no use other than its fragrance.

But it is indeed a symbol of love.

Chen Feng placed the ring in the groove, and the next second, the two fire plates in front of the statue burst into flames.

Grey exclaimed in surprise:

"Only kind people can obtain the Celestial Stone Ring. Uncle, you're full of wicked schemes, how did you get it?"

"A gift from a friend."

When it comes to the beast-faced human nature aspect, Uncle Kuroki is indeed flawless.

Chen Feng looked at the fire plates and analyzed, "One fire is just average, while the other flames are almost shooting into the sky."

"The remaining two plates are untouched. What does that mean?"

Logically speaking, this must be a trial left behind by the hero of love, but the key question is, what are the requirements of the trial?

Love can create miracles; it's all about love.

"Is my love not passionate enough?"

Chen Feng scratched his head.

Grey chimed in, "You might not understand now, but when you face a crisis, you might have an epiphany, unlock the treasure, obtain the inheritance, and turn the tables on your enemies."

You're absolutely right.

But that's the mindset of the weak.

If Lao Tzu already has a system, does he still need a sudden enlightenment in the midst of battle?

Chen Feng cast an appraisal spell and then looked at the appraisal system:

[Under investigation]

[Due to the trial's effectiveness, an assessment cannot be conducted.]

[Smack!]

[The authentication system is being cracked; cracking complete!]

【Fourfold Slash of Love, a divine skill of the God of Love, unleashing a massive slash using the power of love; the stronger the love of the beloved for the user, the greater the power】

Two conditions are required to activate this legacy.

【Amulet's magical ring (any design will do)】

The trial participant must simultaneously maintain a level of affection (more than best friend) with four non-human women.

You have lit two [items/flags].

Cupid's skills?

Love is such a grand concept, it must be a powerful god, right?

Chen Feng looked at the friendliness system with disappointment: "So, does that mean someone like Ying, who turned from a human into a robot, isn't considered non-human?"

However, this is not a problem for me.

Chen Feng had a sudden inspiration and said to Grey, "Open your mouth."

Grey's face flushed red instantly: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't speak, just open your mouth." Chen Feng took out a piece of cake from the system space and threw it into Gray's mouth.

[Smack!]

[Friendship system notification: Gray's friendship level has increased]

"Again!"

"Again!"

"Wait, you can't eat this, it'll give you a stomach upset."

Chen Feng put the can of Ant Cow food that he had thrown into the air into his pocket.

At this moment, the third fire was also lit.

So, all that's missing is a favorability rating.

Chen Feng scratched his head: "Whose favorability is easier to boost, meow?"
