Wasteland Lord: Starting from Thirty Days to Live

The modification process doesn't need to be elaborated on; it's just that the process is very similar to tooth extraction.

Lina did not torture him, but instead gave him some kind of unknown anesthetic, so that he felt no pain but remained conscious.

It felt like a dentist prying your mouth open and working on it with a drill, wrench, and pliers. For a moment, you even thought they were doing renovations inside, while constantly asking, "Does it hurt?" "Does it hurt?"

However, Vittorio lost consciousness halfway through the process and only observed from the outside from a third-person perspective.

After the transformation was complete, Lina locked him in a dungeon and returned with a mirror about three or four days later.

"Your new look is really cool, do you want to check it out?"

Vittorio, in the simulation, looked in the mirror she brought and burst out laughing.

Where is my handsome face?

What is that half-human, half-monster thing in the mirror? Even the clown would shout something scary about it.

The simulation could continue, but Vittorio had lost interest in continuing to go on her crazy adventures.

Two weeks later, Vittorio seized an opportunity to find a sharp object and pierced his own carotid artery, ending the simulation.

Looking at the words "Simulation Failed" displayed on the system interface, Vittorio fell into deep thought.

In the last two weeks, despite suffering both mental and physical torment, Vittorio did not come away empty-handed.

A heart full of abundance.

Vittorio has already obtained two of these items; the first was from the corpse of Venomous Fang, and the second was from the doll that Lina left behind in the camp.

In the last two weeks of the simulation, Lina in the simulation seemed to feel that everything had settled down and was happy to reveal some information to him.

She inadvertently revealed that every member of the Abundance School awakens a unique ability after successfully passing the school's trials; her ability is "Heart of Abundance."

"Heart of Abundance" can absorb the unique abilities of at least one creature and graft them onto other creatures in the form of seeds.

The seeds can be reused repeatedly, and the lives of those whose seeds have been planted will be completely in Lina's hands.

The simulation is now complete.

Vittorio sat in his seat, feeling a strange sensation of having gone around in circles only to find himself back where he started.

He felt that there was still some information he hadn't fully grasped in the first simulation, so he decided to start a second simulation.

It still costs 1000 points, and you still enter through the main gate, but this time there's a change.

First, everyone covered their ears before entering the dock, and sure enough, the singing stopped working.

Without the singing, the octopus boat was just a giant seafood, and the crowd swarmed on it, tearing it apart.

And indeed, Vittorio found something good on that ship.

Firstly, [the ever-burning fish oil of the deep-sea mermaid: an oil lamp made of an unknown material, which cannot be extinguished nor burn out, maintaining illumination within a one-meter radius indefinitely, even in the deepest darkness.]

Secondly, [Deep-sea Conch: When this conch is placed near the ear of any creature, he/she/it will become lost in the conch's song (the higher the sanity, the greater the resistance).]

Both items are quite effective, and Vittorio has already figured out how to use them.

Then they arrived at the miserly Grandet's place, and before Grandet could ask any questions, Vittorio took over the role of host.

"I have a great way to make money. I guarantee that after you hear it, you'll be able to monopolize all the wealth in the world."

Grandet was indeed intrigued.

"What method?"

"It's very simple. Your whole problem is that you need to hire workers and share profits with them. Why don't you just stop hiring workers?"

"Then I'll do all the work myself!"

"Have you ever thought about manipulating demons to do the work? It's free, the quantity is huge, and the rifts keep refreshing."

Grandet's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be seriously considering its feasibility.

"By the way, I've recorded all the specific methods in this conch shell. Listen to it."

Grandet accepted the conch shell with some skepticism, but its powerful allure took effect, and he was immediately captivated.

Of course, there were moments of struggle on his face, as if he was trying to regain his senses, but Vittorio took the opportunity to pull off the sanity ring on his hand, and his "clever" brain regained control, and the last bit of struggle on his face disappeared.

Then Vittorio called his men in, who bound Grandet tightly except for his hands, and covered his head and the conch shell with a cloth bag to ensure it remained near his ear.

Then, the group arrived at the church with almost no casualties.

Vittorio kicked open the church door and went straight to the statue, especially instructing everyone to keep a close eye on the statue from every angle.

Then he grabbed a random monster from outside the door and tied it face-to-face to the statue.

There are no fixed requirements for how to bind them; the only requirement is that the monster and the idol must be facing each other.

Finally, the statue was moved out and placed in the sunlight. Two soldiers were assigned to stand beside it, doing nothing but watching over the statue, providing double protection.

Everything was perfect, and Lina and the griffin Ghana appeared.

However, Lina's gaze was very strange this time.

"Is this really your first time here? How come you seem to know this place even better than I do?"

"Indeed, coming back here feels like coming home to me now," Vittorio taunted from below.

"Enough with the nonsense, it's time to show you real power, Ghana!"

Vittorio immediately ordered everyone to form a shield wall and huddle behind it. Gana continued to dive and unleash wind blades, but this time it did not cause as many casualties. Meanwhile, Edmund and the archers fired arrows from the side.

Enraged, Ghana roared and charged at Edmund. Edmund continued to grapple with Ghana, but this time Vittorio, who had been hiding nearby waiting for an opportunity, rushed forward and threw Grandet at Ghana.

Grandet's Midas touch happened to touch the bird's beak in Ghana, instantly turning it into a golden beak.

At first, Ghana was just confused, but then he became furious and opened his mouth as if to spit out a wind blade to cut the ant in front of him in half.

However, when Ghana tried to open his mouth, he found that he couldn't.

Imagine if your lips, which you normally open with ease, suddenly turned into gold!

Gold is a very heavy metal, and this project to turn the bird's beak in Ghana into a golden beak is purely to train its cheekbones—if birds have such things.

That wasn't all. While Ghana was focused on his beak, Vittorio grabbed the music-obsessed Grandet and let his Midas touch the griffin's right wing.

Now, all the feathers on its right side have turned into gold feathers. Birds rely on lightness to fly, and when all the feathers turn into gold, the wings become a heavy burden, making it difficult to fly or even lift them.

This is a workout for his biceps.

Griffins are powerful, but that's only because they can fly at any distance and breathe wind.

Now that Vittorio has caused all this trouble, the griffin is completely useless, struggling on the ground, unable to fly or open its beak.

Startled, the griffin Ghana took off running in another direction on all fours, transforming into a chocobo.

Lina, standing on the roof, witnessed everything.

She was stunned.

She was on the roof, clutching her hair with both hands, completely frantic.

"Impossible...no no no...how could this be? This is a dream! I'm dreaming! Ahhhhh!!!"
