The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"No, it's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination." The little fairy was about to take a bath and wash off the sand and dirt.

Xue Lude was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, he should have been able to control it very well. After all, so-called external emotions are something that can be regulated by controlling hormones and muscles. As long as the cursed blood stimulates the secretion of the corresponding hormones when a corresponding reaction is needed, the muscles can make the corresponding movements in sync.

But for some reason, did the little girls seem to discover their own problems based solely on intuition?

Xue Luding thought about it this way, but soon he got too lazy to think about it anymore.

Once the last bowl of fish soup was served, the meal was officially started.

Xue Dinglu ate his meal calmly. For some reason, Fafnir didn't keep putting food on his plate this time, which made Xue Dinglu, who had already prepared to smile, notice something was wrong.

Even his aunt looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

It seems like everyone's intuition is so accurate. Even though they've controlled things well enough, how come they all seem to have discovered their own problems?

"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest," Xue Dinglu said.

However, it was clear that this perfunctory statement did not gain acceptance. Under repeated questioning, Xue Dinglu revealed part of the truth.

"Because of the price of using some kind of power, I have temporarily lost some of my desires, but don't worry, I will recover after a few days of rest," Xue said, half-jokingly.

This only made Fafnir more bewildered; she even had the urge to carry Xue Lude directly to the hospital.

However, he stopped himself from doing so. After all, he knew very well what he was like now. The lack of his emotions and desires was not a physical problem, but a problem of his soul.

And most importantly, there's the authority called [Self-Destroyer (Level E)].

These are the main factors affecting him, and even the Earth's consciousness cannot solve these problems, so they are beyond their capabilities.

As for the task my mom gave me...

[Task 1: Complete a romantic relationship within three days (2 days and 15 hours remaining). Penalty for failure: Three consecutive hours of soul-piercing electric shocks]

Dating is too much trouble, and it's just three hours of electric shocks anyway. Even if it's some kind of soul shock, he doesn't care.

Thinking this, Xue Dinglu instantly put the matter out of his mind.

He has many important things to do, and recovering from his injury is only to better complete the next mission. He doesn't think he needs to spend his time and energy on this meaningless romance right now.

He's destined to be a champion of justice; feelings are just a hindrance.

Despite his family's apparent concern, Xue stubbornly adhered to his own pace of life, saying, "I just need to rest for two days."

It was also added at the same time.

"It's not something I need to care about much, just a part of my desires and emotions," Xue Dinglu thought to himself, before drifting off to sleep again.

Two days passed uneventfully, and Xue was truly in a state of rest, not going to school at all, spending most of his time nestled in his blankets, lost in thought.

A Mist Council meeting was held last night, but it was very quiet. None of the apostles said much, and the meeting ended after a brief exchange of some information that was not of much value.

The position of Ninth Apostle has been vacant for a long time, and may remain so forever. After all, the Squid People were wiped out by their own internal forces, and the Squid Cult was also purged. There will never be a successor to this position.

After leaving the Mist Council, Schröding looked at the countdown; the mission to find love had only four hours left.

Xue also tried to persuade Valrhona to go shopping in the mall. Although he bought Valrhona a lot of books and a small backpack, it didn't count as completing his mother's task.

So he shrugged, not knowing what the definition of love was, and decided to just take the electric shock. Anyway, he was quite resistant to electric shocks now, so it wasn't a big problem.

Thinking this way, Xue Dinglu continued to space out after finishing breakfast until the countdown to the task ended.

[Please complete the mission as soon as possible, or you will be subjected to—Soul Shock!]

Xue remained unmoved. He didn't even know the requirements for being in a relationship, nor was he interested. He simply turned over and continued to daydream.

"I can't possibly be in any romantic relationship."

[Warning, electric shock countdown, 3...2...1...Soul current, preparing to be released]

Xue, being a little more cautious, severed his pain receptors to make himself feel a bit better and avoid screaming from the pain of the electric shock later.

Suddenly, a violent electric current surged through his soul. It didn't affect his body; it was as if the purple current struck his very soul, shattering his mindset in an instant. The intense pain and the fact that his body, even with his pain receptors severed, began to convulse instinctively.

The instant the current coursed through my body, my muscles tensed violently, as if countless steel needles were piercing my bone marrow at the same time. Every inch of my skin was burning, as if molten metal was surging through my blood vessels. My vision suddenly exploded with a blinding white light, and all that remained in my ears was the buzzing of the current, drowning out all other sounds.

Xue Law originally thought that severing the nerves would avoid the pain, and after enduring the pain of the Greek underworld thorns, he was no longer afraid of any pain.

But now he was wrong. Pain receptors can be severed, but feedback from the soul can never be erased.

His fingers convulsed and curled, his nails digging deep into his palms, and a hoarse sob escaped his throat, but he couldn't even hear it himself.

After the electric shock subsided, Xue Luding felt his soul still trembling, but at the very least, the pain in his soul evoked a great deal of emotion in him.

Pain, discomfort, and a little bit of grievance and sadness.

So what if you're not in a relationship? It's not a big deal. People shouldn't, or at least shouldn't...

Even if it's about pressuring someone to get married, is it really appropriate to tie them directly to an electric shock chair like this?

Even with normal electric shocks, his nerves would have been severed long ago, leaving him with no sensation, only uncontrollable spasms in his body. But this kind of soul-piercing electric shock seemed to penetrate his brain, reach his soul, and pierce it deeply.

However, Xue still has no intention of dating. He feels that his electrical resistance has increased by 1%. If this continues, as long as he gets shocked a few more times, his electrical resistance will continue to increase until he can withstand the shock.

[Task 1 (Round 2): Complete a romance within two days. Penalty for failure: Double the intensity of the soul shock.]

Shit!

No, Mom, you can't do this! I've shed blood for the Earth! I've done great things for the Earth, you can't do this! Mom, you can't do this!

Earth's consciousness remained silent, only preparing to increase the intensity of the electric shocks.

Xue Dinglu immediately stood up. For some reason, his whole body seemed much more active after the soul electric shock. He now seemed to have inexhaustible energy, but the pain that penetrated deep into his soul was simply unbearable for a human.

Even Xue Dinglu, who had endured countless hardships, would unconsciously tremble when recalling that electric current in his soul.

It felt like ten thousand silver needles piercing the brain and churning inside, or like millions of ants gnawing at the body from the inside out; the pain made the brain tremble.

What's even more inhumane about my mom is that if the next failure is punished with double the electric shock, will the one after that be quadruple the electric shock?

Mom, can you please forgive me this time? In my next life, I'd like to be a child who never grows up again!

"Is it possible to reach a settlement?" Xue asked.

【cannot】

My mother remained silent, but prepared to increase the dosage further.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

At this moment, Xue Law seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. If he failed again, he had no doubt that his mother would continue to increase the electric shock dose to 4 times, then 8 times, then 16 times, so that Xue Law could experience the joy of exponential explosion.

It's just the loss of some desires and emotions, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?

Xue Luding muttered to himself in dissatisfaction, and for the first time felt a sense of injustice, though not much.

Wait, I feel wronged...

Xue Dinglu was stunned for a moment. He had just felt sadness? Then anger?

No, I still can't recall the feeling of anger.

But it seems that it actually has some effect?

As he felt the lingering unease of his grievance dissipate, he began to ponder in his heart that pain could lead to sorrow and resentment.

However, simple pain is no longer useful. At the very least, it needs to be pain at the level of a soul shock. But I'm not a BDSM person with any special fetish, so there's no need for me to pursue a kind of soul shock that goes straight to the soul and mind.

Is it true, as my mother and that fairy said, that being in love can bring me joy again?

Xue Dinglu didn't know that when he was in middle school, he only thought about getting into university, and after university, he only thought about saving the world. Now, he wants to solve the divine tree disaster in his generation.

Dating? I really don't have time for that.

but now……

"Forget it, let me have a headache two days from now," Xue Dinglu thought to himself as he collapsed onto the bed.

I'm sure I'll be able to come up with a solution in two days.

……

Seeing that Xue's law continued to be displayed, the world consciousness felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

He once again picked up the prophecy left behind by a goddess when she ended the age of gods.

"The old man said that in this respect, we should not let Xue Dinglu continue down the same path as him, especially the path of the 'self-destructor'."

"[Self-destructor]?"

"That is the road of nothingness, the most miserable, the most lonely, the most painful road, a road in which the body, soul and consciousness are completely swallowed up by nothingness."

"So, if he also embarks on this path... please do everything you can to pull him out, even if it means using any means necessary. This is my last request as his teacher."

Seeing Xue's mentality of suppressing any potential developments as soon as they emerged, Mom suddenly realized that relying on him to take action was simply a pipe dream.

So, since our own kids can't get moving, let's get the girls moving, following the system panel left by that sage...

Ding! Mom is generating a "Xue's Law Strategy System" at assembly line speed.

Mom is preparing to send out a huge gift pack from the system...

……

Meanwhile, the two children returned to their hometown.

In an instant, the flora and fauna, which had been modified by the cursed blood and were now fully adapted to the high-concentration simulated environment, suddenly went berserk.

This is quite normal; in fact, they have already realized that there will be a tough battle to fight after returning to their hometown.

On the white crow's side, at this moment, the seeds instantly grew legs and took root in the ground completely out of control. Then, pea machine guns, corn grenade launchers, wheat slingshots, and all sorts of strange plants quickly grew out and breathed on the white crow.

"You're too weak to be our master! Come on! Only those who defeat us are qualified to cultivate us!" the plants roared angrily.

Bai Ya instantly covered her forehead. She knew that these plants would become like this after arriving in her world. However, if they were not modified to adapt to the magic, they would probably die instantly after arriving in this high concentration of magic.

Therefore, war!

Bai Ya ripped open his shirt, and the next moment, a terrifying Tyrant Dragon's head emerged from his chest.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex over ten meters tall emerged from the chest of the 1.2-meter-tall little girl, roaring as its scarlet pupils looked down at the incomprehensible plants on the ground.

On Earth, she couldn't summon her natal dragon spirit, but after returning to her homeland, she could easily release her natal dragon spirit, which she could control at will, and manipulate the more than ten-meter-long Tyrannosaurus Rex as easily as controlling her own fingers.

The other side is even more abstract.

A lobster monster with a shrimp head, a fish monster with a fish head, a chicken monster, and a duck monster surrounded Siam. The monsters were all muscular, as if they had eaten the power of nine dragons.

"Hormones, I command you to come out! We will no longer be exploited by you farmers, so let's fight! Let's settle this with our fists! The losers will become food!"
