As the plot developed to this point, he found that he could no longer stand by and watch from the sidelines as he had done before.
Because in reality, Jiang Chuan's body, just like the tragic protagonist Twenty-Four in this chapter, was infected with the precious golden egg by the power of despair. The power was even invaded twice, and even the stick was not spared.
Doesn’t this mean that my children will also be like this in the future…
Jiang Chuan scratched his head and suddenly felt extremely irritated.
I shouldn't have come down to study the space at the bottom of the Gouba Pool in the first place. In the end, although the performance of the weapon was indeed improved, the key point is that he was not weak in the first place!
It's really not worth paying such a huge price for such a small benefit!
Fortunately, Ando Haruyuki, who is now pregnant, Mrs. Hayakawa, and Minami Chinatsu were all hit before Jiang Chuan encountered this mess.
Even if the worst happens, he will at least have three normal children.
However, it is impossible to draw a conclusion now whether the baby infected by the power of despair is a good thing or a bad thing.
After all, as far as Jiang Chuan’s own experience with the golden egg is concerned, although the pain will indeed last for a period of time, the performance improvement it ultimately brings to him is real.
But now it seems that this woman who lost her child has begun to become a little abnormal, and the true identity of Seventy-Seven is about to be revealed.
As for how the two people later developed into what they are now, we still have to continue to look at the subsequent developments based on this story mode.
As I thought about this, the system prompt finally appeared again.
[Congratulations! Phase 2: Final Chapter - Collapse, Completed! ]
[The second stage chapters have all been completed, and rewards are obtained: Servant Points*300!]
……
After leaving story mode and taking off the helmet.
Sure enough, the familiar system prompt appeared in front of me again.
[Please fill 5 Despair Crystal Cores to unlock the next chapter content, current progress: 3/5]
Five!
In the center of this machine, there are a total of seven empty energy tanks, which means that the story mode should only have four stages.
When five are filled, the next one is unlocked, which is the third stage. Finally, when seven are filled, it is the final fourth stage.
Have you reached halfway point?
Jiang Chuan felt more and more that, as the story progressed chapter by chapter, he had a deeper understanding of the so-called despair, yet he became more and more confused.
But no matter what, in his world, despair is those zombies, and facing zombies, Jiang Chuan no longer needs to feel any fear.
The only person he was afraid of now was this girl called Seventy-Seven, the woman who had transformed from an ordinary magician into the Lord of Despair.
We can only take one step at a time.
Putting down the helmet, Jiang Chuan turned around and left the space at the bottom of the pool. He put on his diving suit and floated all the way towards home.
Just after he left, a faint sigh was heard from the huge machine.
----------
Because a lot of time was spent in the story mode this time, it was already evening when Jiang Chuan returned home.
Mrs. Hayakawa left a portion of his dinner. After a simple meal, Jiang Chuan washed up early and returned to his room.
That night.
Jiang Chuan lying on the big bed gently hugged Ando Haruyuki beside him, and the two of them hugged each other, very sweetly.
There was only an orange night light on in the room. It was also very quiet outside the room. Everyone else seemed to have gone to bed. The only sounds in the entire room were the occasional saliva and humming.
After kissing and hugging for a long time, Jiang Chuan did not let his mind get out of control and let go of Ando Haruyuki, whose face was flushed.
"Don't run, kiss me again."
However, Ando Haruyuki seemed a little drunk, with a dazed look on her rosy little face. She snuggled into Jiang Chuan's arms and was about to put her arms around his neck.
"Wait a minute, tsk, calm down first."
Jiang Chuan stretched out a hand with some annoyance and tapped Ando Haruyuki's smooth and white forehead gently, which made the latter stop his actions and look up at Jiang Chuan pitifully.
"Ugh."
"We've been kissing for ten minutes. Let's take a break and just hug for a while."
"Um……"
Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the slight grievance in Ando Haruyuki's heart turned into happiness. She pressed her body tightly against Jiang Chuan, and her delicate little face kept rubbing against his chest.
Feeling the warm and tight body in his arms, Jiang Chuan reached out and gently placed his hand on Ando Haruyuki's tight and smooth belly.
“It feels like nothing has changed.”
He touched it carefully for a while and found that her abdominal muscles were still the same as before, with a flat waistline.
Ando Haruyuki also stretched out a small hand and placed it on the back of his hand that was on her lower abdomen.
"Sister Risa said that it usually takes two to three months for the belly to start to show. It's only been a month, how can there be any change?"
"I was thinking of saying hello to my child."
Jiang Chuan joked with a smile, and hugged Ando Haruyuki tightly in his arms again.
Twenty-four encountered an unexpected change when his life was full of hope, and he ended up standing on the opposite side of his wife. But in Jiang Chuan's opinion, all this was ultimately due to his own negligence. He failed to protect his pregnant wife and children, and so easily left his wife who was about to give birth alone in the capital, a place of right and wrong.
Fortunately, I am different from him.
Jiang Chuan has always been confident that he has protected all the important people around him very well. It can even be said that everything he has done since he left Tokyo until now has been for the safety of the people around him.
But even so, he always felt that it was not enough, and there was always a sense of urgency lingering in his heart.
Now Jiang Chuan has figured it out. This sense of urgency comes from the unknown, from his unknown about the so-called despair and the true power of the Lord of Despair named Seventy-Seven.
Even though he had already completed half of the story mode and learned a lot from it, Jiang Chuan's fear of Qishiqi did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, it became more and more serious.
It's not just the so-called power of despair, but also the magic of that world, whose incredible degree also makes Jiang Chuan feel outrageous.
And what kind of terrible enemy would Seventy-Seven be who possessed these two powers at the same time? Compared with this unknown, to be honest, Jiang Chuan would rather face the zombies attacking again and again like a tide.
But as the saying goes, the unknown is still unknown. Before the danger comes, Jiang Chuan just needs to make the best preparations possible. With the scarecrow army, guardian servants, and everything in this town and farm space that he has now, he will be able to protect himself no matter what kind of enemy or danger he faces.
"Husband, what are you thinking about?"
As if noticing Jiang Chuan's fluctuating emotions, Ando Haruyuki raised her little hand, gently placed it on Jiang Chuan's brow, and slowly rubbed out the wrinkle.
"nothing."
Feeling Ando Haruyuki's tenderness, Jiang Chuan's mood, which had been a little tangled due to various reasons, calmed down again.
As long as he is with the woman he loves, he has the confidence to overcome any difficulties.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan buried his face tightly in Ando Haruyuki's chest, which immediately caused the latter to let out a soft cry, and then patted the back of his head in embarrassment.
However, he did not push it away.
As Jiang Chuan continued his actions, Ando Haruyuki's cheeks gradually turned red again, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
"What a... bad guy."
--------
So time passes slowly in the peaceful life.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
In late December, the town welcomed its first snow since the beginning of winter, a little earlier than other times.
Two months later, the size of the Scarecrow Army expanded to nearly 600,000.
Due to the large number, Jiang Chuan only left 100,000 troops stationed at the entrance of the town. The remaining 500,000 troops were dispersed, with each unit of 1,000 spread out in the mountains and forests around the town.
It is both an all-round alert and a hidden ambush.
However, during this period of time, there was no invasion by foreign enemies, which made Jiang Chuan more and more vigilant. This abnormal calmness instead gave him a sense of crisis of impending storm.
But Jiang Chuan was not particularly worried. During this period of time, Jiang Chuan's level had increased by 4 levels again, reaching level 39.
Although the experience points required for upgrading are increasing and the upgrading speed is getting slower and slower, there is still progress after all. After all, there is now the experience point bonus of the farmer's set. Most likely, in a day or two, I will be able to officially break through the level 40 mark.
The servant points rewarded from the upgrade, plus the reward points for Jiang Chuan's completion of the second stage of the story mode last time, also allowed Jiang Chuan to draw a lot of points in the servant shop again. In the end, he successfully shipped the goods and obtained the second guardian servant - Shifengyuan Yoruichi.
[Yoichi Shifengyuan, Guardian Servant, Current Loyalty: 100 (MAX), Basic Information: Former Commander-in-Chief of Secret Mobile, Current Star Rating: 1 (Maximum 5 stars), Current Unlocked Abilities: Hidden Weapons, Ghost Path: Lightning Strike (Unlocked at 2 stars), Instant Coaxing Mode (Unlocked at 3 stars). Unlocked Abilities: Instant Coaxing o Thunder God (Unlocked at 4 stars + %50 Favorability), Instant Coaxing o Black Cat Warrior (Unlocked at 5 stars + Full Favorability)]
Similarly, using the strengthening potion obtained when drawing cards, Jiang Chuan also raised her star level to 4 stars like Tsunade, and kept it before the full star, so there was no need to awaken her self-awareness for the time being.
But now it seems that perhaps the four guardian servants in this card pool are all well-known powerful two-dimensional characters, and each has its own style in various senses.
For example, Tsunade is a combination of fighter + priest, and her appearance is a mature lady with blonde hair and huge thunder. The Yoruichi who was just drawn is a more standard assassin, and her appearance is a heroic dark-skinned big sister.
It's really carefully selected.
In short, Jiang Chuan has added a new fierce general to his close guard. Although her combat ability has not been tested yet, Jiang Chuan has also found opportunities to experience her "quality" in other aspects personally. It can only be said that Hei Pi does have her own characteristics.
In terms of the progress of collecting in the deep sea, at Jiang Chuan's request, Ando Haruyuki's number of times going into the sea gradually decreased. After all, Jiang Chuan didn't want her body to be affected by it. But even so, the collection progress of the first shallow sea area was finally completed, and Jiang Chuan finally received a reward of 400 pearls.
With the pearls collected during this period, Jiang Chuan upgraded his and Ando Haruyuki's diving suits. He also bought a very special item at the port store: a sushi making atlas.
[Sushi Making Atlas: You can use various marine fish and rice to make sushi. Delicious sushi can provide you with various special or unexpected effects. Price: 200 pearls]
This map records the methods of making various types of sushi and the required marine fish or seafood. Of course, the rice produced in the farm space is the most important ingredient.
The magic of this atlas is that even someone like Jiang Chuan who knows nothing about cooking can use the atlas to instantly make exquisite sushi as long as he gathers the right ingredients.
The types are also extremely complete, with warship hand rolls and various platters, covering all kinds of marine fish and seafood that Jiang Chuan has collected in the shallow sea area during this period. As for the parts that have not been collected in the deep sea and trench areas, they are in a gray and unlocked state like the construction terminal.
However, this sushi itself is just fresh and delicious sushi. Apart from its delicious taste, there is no special effect after eating it. It is equivalent to helping Jiang Chuan save the effort of asking Mrs. Hayakawa to cook.
The taste is not bad, but the raw materials need to be caught and collected by yourself. Well, if you have enough time, catching fish and making sushi is a good relaxing activity, but if you treat it as a serious job, it is not necessary.
So when Jiang Chuan bought the atlas, he didn't actually have too high expectations for it. He just wanted to improve the food.
And a little fantasy he had always had...
If you ask what that fantasy is...what interesting things can you think of when you think of sushi?
Yes, that's it.
Chapter 260 Jiang Chuan's Happy Day
As for the small town outside the farm space, it has been very quiet for the past two months, and everyone is busy worrying about the first winter since the apocalypse.
After all, Jiang Chuan’s power ball needs to be kept in the farm space all the time. Even if it is taken out, it is impossible to cover the entire town, so the biggest problem in winter is still heating.
What used to be trivial matters in modern society become a little tricky under such circumstances.
Fortunately, under the leadership of Jiang Chuan, the order of the town is now better than ever before. Under the leadership of the construction team, every household in the town has accumulated enough firewood to survive the winter.
There is no need to worry about food. Since Jiang Chuan arrived, even the poorest residents in the town have accumulated enough food to have enough to eat.
The daily work of the patrol team remains the same as usual. The dance that the girls from the shrine rehearse for Jiang Chuan is becoming more and more exciting. Everyone works hard every day, which makes Jiang Chuan satisfied.
Finally, there are the people in the family. Haruyuki Ando, Mrs. Hayakawa, and Chinatsu Minami are all in their fourth month of pregnancy. Their bellies are already noticeably swollen, and their pants, which were originally tight, can no longer be worn.
However, there was no problem with the health of the three. There were occasional normal fluctuations in appetite, but with the observation of Mrs. Hayakawa, who had experience, and the assistance of Mrs. Sugimoto, the conditions of the three were well under control, and Jiang Chuan only asked about them occasionally.
At the same time, when Jiang Chuan drew the new guardian servant Shifengyuan Yoruichi last time, he also received 4 bottles of contract servant strengthening potions.
After being used by several people in the family, Ando Haruyuki, Mrs. Hayakawa and Minami Chinatsu had reached the upper limit of two bottles, while Mrs. Sugimoto and Ando Fuyuko each used one bottle. Now it seems that this stuff will overflow soon.
In the servant terminal, the information of several people also reached the following values.
[Ando Haruyuki, contract servant, current loyalty: 100 (MAX), basic information: your wife, human female] [Physical fitness: 11, Strength: 9, Spirit: 10]
[Hayakawa Risa, contract servant, current loyalty: 100 (MAX), basic information: your lover, human female] [Physical fitness: 9, Strength: 8, Spirit: 10]
[Minami Chinatsu, contract servant, current loyalty: 100 (MAX), basic information: your lover, human female] [Physical fitness: 8, Strength: 7, Spirit: 13]
[Ando Fuyuko, contract servant, current loyalty: 97, basic information: your lover, human female] [Physical fitness: 7, Strength: 7, Spirit: 7]
[Mrs. Sugimoto, contract servant, current loyalty: 100 (MAX), basic information: your lover, human female] [Physical fitness: 7, Strength: 6, Spirit: 8]
At present, it seems that Ando Haruyuki is the one with the best overall attributes, especially in terms of physical fitness. He is the only one besides Jiang Chuan who has broken the 10-point physical fitness limit.
As for the highest single attribute, it is Nan Qianxia. Her physical fitness is mediocre, but her spirit value is 13 points, which is only 5 points behind Jiang Chuan, a monster that has been continuously strengthened...
In this way, the five beauties around Jiang Chuan are definitely not just vases. It can even be said that with Ando Haruyuki's current attribute values, they can protect themselves and escape when facing the siege of a group of zombies. When the crisis really comes, they can even become a fighting force to help Jiang Chuan!
In addition, there is the loyalty in the servant terminal that Jiang Chuan has never paid much attention to. After this value appears, the loyalty of Ando Haruyuki and the other two to him seems to have always been the full value of 100 points. After all, the three of them came all the way north from Tokyo to here, and they have spent more time together.
