He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

After washing up, Luo Xia lazily lay down on the eight-meter-long bed and then opened the system panel.

Rorschach really hit the jackpot today. Not only did he get a huge amount of resources from these nobles for free, but more importantly, he completed two major tasks.

This brought Luo Xia's Emperor Honor Points to over a thousand again!

[Emperor Honor Points: 1590]

"Not bad, not bad, you're a step closer to having a second heart."

Luo Xia was overjoyed, and then took out a bottle of fiery red reagent from the system space.

[Salamander Secondary Enhancement Potion]

【Origin: Nocturne】

[Quality: Blue]

[Description: A secondary product extracted from the genetic bloodline of the Salamander Chapter. These sons of fire dragons live year-round in extremely hot volcanic regions, possessing the most abnormal fire resistance and physical toughness in the entire Astartes Chapter.]

[Effect: After consumption, all attributes increase by 0.6, and basic fire resistance and basic high-temperature adaptation are gained.]

"This is good stuff, but will it cause any side effects like my skin turning black?"

Rorschach thought this, but without any hesitation, he uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back, and drank the fiery red potion in one gulp.

The moment it entered his mouth, Luo Xia felt as if he had swallowed scalding hot magma.

A violent surge of heat exploded within Luo Xia's body, rapidly flowing into his limbs and bones.

Under this force, Luo Xia's muscle density increased, and even a layer of dark red lines gradually appeared on the surface of his skin, causing the temperature of the entire room to rise suddenly.

"call."

Several tens of minutes later, Luo Xia slowly exhaled a breath of hot white air. At this moment, he felt his body was incredibly relaxed, as if his entire body had been given a spa treatment.

[Name: Emperor Saint Fist Rorschach]

Age: 16

[Occupation: Apprentice Salamander Warrior]

[Level: 1 (56/100)]

[Attributes: Strength 16.2, Constitution 16.6, Agility 14.6, Spirit 13.6]

[Assignable attribute points: 0.3]

[Available skill points: 1]

[Emperor's Favorability: 66]

"Tsk tsk, my spirit has become my lowest attribute. If I keep training like this, will my head turn pointy?"

After all, as the last surviving member of two generations of the Danix family, Rorschach's mental strength has always been the highest attribute.

Unfortunately, because he took the Emperor's gene serum, his mental attributes became the lowest possible.

"This shouldn't be happening. My great emperor is clearly the most powerful psionicist, so why am I so weak?"

Luo Xia pondered for a moment, then directly added 0.3 free attribute points to his mental ability.

[Mental Health 13.613.9!]

As a chill ran through his mind, Luo Xia's spirits lifted, and he felt refreshed, immediately understanding the reason.

"That's right. The great Emperor Hook is still sitting on the Golden Throne. He has to rely on psionicists to replenish his psionic energy every day. It's understandable that he's a little weak."

Luo Xia nodded, then casually opened the Five Gods Shop and glanced at it, suddenly pausing in surprise.

[Ding ding ding! Because of your flawless physique and unparalleled handsome face, you have successfully attracted the attention of Slaanesh, the greatest master of pleasure in the Warp!]

"Wow, what a perfect body! Those bulging muscles, that aura brimming with masculine hormones... it makes me want to delve deeper and enjoy ourselves to the fullest."

[The chaotic vendor, Huan Yu Jiang Nie Nie, has extended an invitation to you to have some fun together. And because she made a mistake towards you, she's giving you a 40% discount on all your purchases for a limited time—six days!]

"Hey bro~ If you buy my stuff, I don't mind giving you a little personal reward~"

"My law?"

"Is this something a minor should be watching?"

Looking at the pinkish-purple text on the panel in front of him, Luo Xia felt like he was about to grow corns.

"But a 40% discount? Are they deliberately trying to rip me off?"

Rorschach looked at the two items in Slaanesh's shop and his heart stirred slightly.

The [Pleasure Whip (Pink)] is priced at 3000 Imperial Honor Points, which is 1800 after a 60% discount, so Luo Xia still can't afford it.

But the [Paradise Aromatherapy (Pink)] costs 1200 Imperial Honor Points, but after a 40% discount, it's only 720!

"Buying it is a sure win!"

Rorschach thought about it and bought it directly. He wasn't buying it for any of Slaanesh's little rewards; it was purely because it was discounted and cheap.

Who knows when another such good opportunity will come?

"Moreover, once ignited, it plunges all creatures within a hundred meters into extreme pleasure, rendering them incapable of fighting. This is absolutely a monster-slaying artifact for entering the abyss!"

[Ding! Purchase successful, 720 Imperial Honor Points consumed!]

[Remaining Imperial Honor Points: 870]

Luo Xia carefully placed the pink scented candle that had appeared in his hand into his system space, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and felt full of anticipation.

What will Slaanesh's little reward be?

"Look at the great Emperor Hook! He even offers small rewards for purchases. That's what a businessman should do!"

Luo Xia sighed, and then an incredibly pleasant sound rang in his ears.

"Thank you for patronizing our shop, sir! Here's a little reward for our first meeting. Remember to wear it close to your body!"

With a puff of pink smoke, a thin, light object landed in Rorschach's hand.

Luo Xia looked down and his excited expression froze instantly.

【The Lord of Pleasure's Gas Mask】

[Quality: Pink]

[Description: This special equipment, personally blessed by Huanyu-chan, is made of lightweight, breathable material and fits the contours of the face perfectly.]

[Effect: When worn, grants immunity to all negative gas effects such as poisonous gases, miasma, and aphrodisiac gases. Additional passive effect: Temporarily increases charm by 20%, generating a strong attraction to the opposite sex.]

"Slaven, I really fucked you!"

Chapter 82 The True Ascetic Practice (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets, thank you meow!!!)

"Geneva, refund me!"

Rorschach slammed the gas mask he was holding onto the bed, veins bulging on his forehead.

This is definitely not a gas mask!

That's clearly a pair of stockings! And it's even purple!

[Ding! Joyful Sauce's Little Tip: "When using Elysium Aromatherapy, remember to wear a gas mask~ It can isolate and prevent the handsome guy from being affected~"]

[“NieNie is really looking forward to seeing how the handsome boy looks wearing it~ He'll definitely be the most dazzling focus in the crowd~”]

"I'm super awesome!"

"Even if I, Rorschach, were to jump off this cliff, I would never use it!"

Rorschach gritted his teeth and stuffed the thing directly into the deepest part of the system space.

He will never wear this thing in his entire life!

Although he wore stockings over his head, he was still an outlaw.

But Luo Xia was certain that once he put it on, it would be an incredibly dark chapter in his life, and even the Great Emperor Hook would laugh at him!

"I was so stupid, how could something good come from an evil god?"

Rorschach covered his face in anguish, as if he had lost all his options.

Great Emperor Hook above, Your most loyal offspring seems to be corrupted by Slaanesh.

……

The next morning.

Luo Xia finished washing up early and then took out a can of food from the system space.

That was the most luxurious Ant-Cow canned food. Because the emperor had fulfilled his desire for freebies, the other party generously rewarded him with thirteen cans of Ant-Cow canned food.

"It seems the great Emperor Hook still cares about me. Even though it's arduous training, I still need to keep up with the nutrition."

Luo Xia rubbed his hands together with great anticipation and opened the metal pull tab of the Ant Cow can. Instantly, an extremely rich aroma wafted out.

"Wow, this smells amazing!"

Luo Xia took a deep breath of the aroma, and felt his spirits lifted.

Looking at the dark red chunks of meat soaking in amber-colored oil in the can, Rorschach swallowed hard.

Ant-Bulls are mutated creatures native to the underground world of a desert in Holy Terra.

It is said that this thing, when it grows up, is as big as an armored vehicle, and its jaws can easily bite through the Astartes' BOZ power armor.

I don't know which genius turned this thing into food, or even made it a high-end ingredient on the Terra Highlord's table.

"I'm going to start eating!"

Luo Xia picked up a fork and shoved a piece of meat into his mouth. The ant beef was chewy and incredibly tender. After swallowing it, it digested in his stomach, and he could clearly feel all the pores on his body opening up.

[Ding! Consuming high-temperature processed ant meat has increased Strength by 0.1 and Constitution by 0.1!]

Wow, this is good stuff!

Upon hearing the system notification, Luo Xia's eyes lit up.

As expected of Terra's most premium food, this is absolutely amazing compared to the Demon Beef I had yesterday.

"Hiss, but isn't this a bit too much of a treat?"
