Chase Game

Wang Yun ultimately failed to become a "good person".

But from the perspective of stirring up trouble, he was successful.

Ling Yi originally had a chance to fill the karmic pool, but after his meddling, he had to give up for the time being.

Ling Yi sighed, stood up, patted his backside, and said, "Alright, the show's over. Time to pack up and go home!"

Anyway, there's not much difference left, so we'll squeeze more... oh no, we'll exchange things for the disaster victims' karma.

However, the disaster victims at the scene were dumbfounded.

If Wang Yun can't eat it, and Ling Yi can't eat it either, what are they going to do?

In an instant, everyone began trying to persuade Ling Yi to stay.

Ling Yi stopped in his tracks, still considering the public's pleas for him to stay.

"Staying here will allow me to accumulate more good karma, and I should be able to max out my good karma."

"But if I were to stay now, I'm afraid I'd only have good intentions; I'd still be far from committing any evil deeds..."

Ling Yi pondered, wondering if there was a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

At that moment, a soft, sweet voice came from beneath him.

"Brother...I'm so hungry..."

Ling looked down and saw a dirty, thin little girl with big, pitiful eyes looking up at him.

A flash of inspiration struck Ling Yi, and he suddenly thought of a way to both accumulate good and bad karma.

He smiled and took the little girl's bowl, filled it with a large bowl of porridge, then took out a large flatbread and stuffed it into the little girl's arms.

The little girl accepted it with delight, said thank you, and Ling Yi then received a small amount of good karma.

However, as the little girl was about to leave with her bowl, she felt a pair of large hands pressing down on her head.

The older boy who served him the porridge said with a smile, "Eat your porridge here, and don't go anywhere else."

Although he had some doubts, hunger forced him to stop thinking about it and he quickly picked up the bowl and started slurping.

Seeing this, many disaster victims also wanted to step forward to receive porridge.

However, Ling Yi rejected them all. He only managed to call over some children, and they were all required to finish their drinks on the spot.

"You...you're distributing relief porridge, why won't you let us take some?"

"Heh, I knew you rich people don't keep your word."

These people either cursed or mocked, but to Ling Yi, it sounded like a completely different scene.

[Received malicious thoughts from the public, negative karma +1.]

Now, good deeds have grown slowly, while bad deeds have grown rapidly.

Some starving disaster victims went to the neighboring house and ate there even though they knew it would hurt their stomachs.

Of course, when they were rolling on the ground clutching their stomachs, they would complain and vent their anger on Ling Yi.

This is yet another source of evil thoughts.

Meng Dong, who was standing to the side, was unaware of the Karma Pool and couldn't understand the meaning behind Ling Yi's actions at all.

He frowned slightly and said, "Ling Yi, isn't this going too far...?"

Ling Yi smiled and simply said, "It's done!"

"It's done? What's done?"

Ling Yi didn't answer, only telling him, "I don't have any further requests. If you want to share the porridge with everyone, then go ahead!"

Because Ling Yi's [Karma Pool] is already a hundred percent good and a hundred percent evil.

Although Meng Dong was puzzled, since Ling Yi had spoken, he no longer hesitated and immediately followed his heart, distributing the relief porridge to all the disaster victims.

Ling Yi, on the other hand, began studying his advanced skills.

[Congratulations, player Ling Yi, you have filled your Karma Pool. Your skill "Instant Karmic Fruit" has been upgraded to Tier 2.]

"Karma" cap increased by 1.

Now, he has two more karma points, but this is not the biggest improvement for advancing to the second tier.

What excites him is the change in the karmic pool.

【Karma Pool】: Good karma 100/300, bad karma 100/300.

Gain the active skill [Manifestation of Karma]: Consume all currently accumulated karma, and based on the main type of karma consumed, immediately gain a powerful causal state that lasts for a period of time.

【Good Deeds Shine Brightly】(Mainly consumes good karma): Transform into a "Guardian", greatly increasing your own defense and providing "Guardian" effects to others.

Guardian: Provides buffs to all status effects and shields.

【Evil Consequences】(Mainly consumes evil karma): Transform into "Asura", greatly enhance your own attack power, and attacks are accompanied by the "corrosion" effect.

Erosion: Inflicts a full-status debuff on the enemy; after fully eroding the enemy, you can perform a "Shura Slash" on them.

After seeing the skill, Ling Yi took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim, "Powerful, incredibly powerful!"

【Good deeds bring forth clear results】 and 【Bad deeds bring forth bad results】 are essentially two more trump cards for survival.

However, both consume good and bad karma, so it seems that "doing good and doing evil" will be inevitable in the future.

After he let out a long sigh of relief, Meng Dong had already finished distributing the relief porridge.

Before leaving, most of the disaster victims repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

Ling Yi's original intention was not to help, but to use them to accumulate negative karma. Therefore, he did not respond to their gratitude.

As they set off, Wang Yun stopped pretending. Even though there was still a lot of food on the cart, he swept the disaster victims aside with a stick, covered it with a dust cover, and left.

As dusk fell, Meng Dong inquired about Ling Yi's plans for the evening.

Unexpectedly, the answer I received was "rest for one night".

Meng Dong looked at Ling Yi incredulously and asked, "Are you sure you want to rest for one night?"

Three days and four nights is a very short time. He thought Ling Yi would make the most of every minute and second, but he didn't expect to hear the word "rest" from him.

Ling Yi nodded and affirmed again, "That's right, there's no rush. Let's get some rest tonight and conserve our energy for the big battle ahead."

The real reason is that Ling Yi's fatigue can no longer be suppressed by the "Rejuvenation of Withered Trees" technique, and he needs to rely on sleep to reset his physical condition.

If Meng Dong knew that Ling Yi had been running around non-stop for the past two days, he would probably fully understand how exhausted he was.

But it is precisely because he doesn't understand that he feels confused and puzzled.

However, he was able to convince himself.

"Fine, a night's rest is fine. We should trust our allies!"

Ling Yi and Wang Yun returned to the Meng residence one after the other. When he saw Wang Yun dismount, he immediately thought of the other party's act of stealing his karma.

"Damn it, you dare to mess with my plans? I may not be able to kill you right now, but I'll at least make you suffer."

Thinking this to himself, Ling Yi took a step forward to meet him.

"Oh, isn't this the 'Acting' family head?"

"How's your charity work going? It must be going very well!"

The contemptuous tone, the flippant smile, and the deliberately elongated "代" (dai) all provoked Wang Yun's nerves.

However, Wang Yun was a captain, so he wasn't easily provoked by just a few words. He was about to calmly refute them when, unexpectedly, he was tricked by his teammate Zhou Jie.

Before he could even speak, Zhou Jie stepped forward and began hurling profanities.

Ling Yi clearly saw Wang Yun's face turn a deep purplish-red. He had originally wanted to retort, but this delightful scene instantly tickled his funny bone.

He laughed out loud.

Zhou Jie, however, was still confused and took it as a provocation, so he cursed even more harshly. Wang Yun tried to interrupt several times, but could not find an opportunity.

However, not long after, a powerful aura emanated from the Meng residence.

Everyone present felt the oppressive feeling of being stared at by a tiger, but Ling Yi and Meng Dong were not worried about being swallowed whole.

The other two are uncertain.

Zhou Jie immediately shut his mouth, staring warily into the room.

A rough voice rang out—

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from, spewing filth? Wang Yun, if you can't discipline your people, Grandpa Qiang can teach them a lesson for you."

After transforming into a half-beast, the burly Zhang Qiang emerged from inside the door.

Ling Yi knew that this kid was showing off again, but he still gave him a thumbs up. Good bro, well done!

Zhou Jie was rebuked and wanted to refute, but he lacked the confidence to do so, so he could only look at Wang Yun.

It really is like a drowned dog desperately trying to find its owner.

Wang Yun, of course, also saw this. He snorted coldly and, without the help Zhou Jie had expected, turned and walked into the Meng residence.

Zhou Jie could only follow him in, filled with shame and indignation.
