I don't have that kind of free time.
Chapter 246 The Price of "Defeating Mels"?
"Did you go back and try to absorb life energy as I instructed?"
After studying magic with Moro for a period of time, Moro suddenly asked Qin Chuan this question.
He had previously said that Qin Chuan's control over magic was already quite proficient, and he could try to use magic to manipulate and devour the life energy of others.
Although he couldn't devour planetary energy like Moro, Qin Chuan could still absorb the energy of life forms.
Considering that Qin Chu had promised to let him leave prison, Moro was still trying his best to consider Qin Chuan's feelings—the more satisfied Qin Chuan was, the greater the probability that he would keep his promise.
He noticed Qin Chuan's unusual desire to improve his combat power, so he didn't mind guiding Qin Chuan on how to use magic to quickly enhance his strength.
If Qin Chuan could also absorb planetary energy like himself, that would be ideal, as his improvement speed would be unimaginably fast.
However, as a second-best option, absorbing life energy is also a good choice, and the progress will be much faster than that of ordinary people.
"No."
Qin Chuan shook his head. He had just come from the JOJO world and had forgotten that Moro had mentioned that he could absorb life energy.
I should have tried it before taking down Diavolo. After all, a Stand user's life energy should still be around 28, which is pretty strong, right?
"I knew it."
Moro laughed coldly, as if he had expected this all along.
Then Qin Chuan saw Moro reach under his cloak and slowly take something out, placing it in front of Qin Chuan.
Moro's cloak was very large, and coupled with his enormous body compared to ordinary people, it was easy to hide a lot of things inside the cloak.
When Qin Chuan saw what Moro had placed in front of him, he realized that it was actually a live rabbit.
Calling it a rabbit isn't quite right, because this rabbit actually has four eyes—come to think of it, this isn't Earth, so it's probably a rabbit-like creature from some other planet.
"Come on, eat this rabbit's life energy."
Moro sneered, looking at the rabbit who was still unaware of what had happened, and said to Qin Chuan.
"Although the life energy of this little thing is negligible, it is just right for a beginner like you—start by absorbing weak energy, and you will be able to absorb stronger energy once you are skilled."
"Where did you get this rabbit?"
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised. Moro was locked up in prison, practically completely under control, without even a chance to go out and keep watch. There was no way he could have gotten his hands on a rabbit.
"Although the Galactic Patrol doesn't allow me to leave the prison, after more than ten million years, they have become less vigilant towards me and have allowed other people to visit."
Moro's expression seemed to be mocking the Galactic Patrolmen—in fact, if nothing unexpected happens, decades later, a visiting prisoner will tell him about the Dragon Balls.
“I got this rabbit from other prisoners. They don’t even care about such small things. It’s not considered contraband. Go ahead and try it.”
Indeed, if it were a regular human prison and a prisoner brought in a rabbit, it would definitely alert the guards.
But this is the Galactic Prison. Although the Galactic Police are not as strong as adult Saiyans, they are not so strong as to classify a rabbit with a fighting power of less than 1 as a contraband.
Consider it a way to cultivate compassion in those prisoners serving fixed sentences; who knows, it might even lead them to reform through their love for small animals.
"What? Have you softened your heart?"
Seeing that Qin Chuan hadn't made a move, Moro narrowed his eyes and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.
“I can sense that you’re learning magic from me to quickly improve your strength… Hesitating at this crucial juncture is not a good thing.”
Moro suspected that Qin Chuan might be too close to that Galactic Patrolman named Mels, which made him unable to even think about harming small animals.
But Qin Chuan's motivation wasn't that. When he really got serious, he killed without batting an eye. A rabbit was nothing; he'd eaten countless of them already. How could he possibly hesitate?
The reason he didn't make a move was because he was worried that Moro might tamper with the rabbit, so he secretly used the power of "Blackbird Requiem".
The conclusion is fixed: "Moro did not tamper with the rabbit."
The result went smoothly, and Qin Chuan didn't even feel that he had paid any reward—meaning that Moro really hadn't tampered with the rabbit.
"This guy is actually doing his best to teach me how to improve my strength?"
After confirming that Moro had not tampered with the rabbit, Qin Chuan reached out and grabbed it, then used his magic to extract the rabbit's life energy.
The rabbit, whose ears were being held by Qin Chuan, seemed to sense something and struggled a few times, but soon fell silent.
Its life energy had been extracted and then absorbed into Qin Chuan's body.
It felt as if Qin Chuan had used magic as a rope to bind the energy inside the rabbit's body and pull it out smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
It's worth mentioning that although the rabbit's combat power might be less than 1, after absorbing the rabbit's life energy, Qin Chuan felt that his combat power had increased by more than 1 point.
In other words, the increase in power after fully absorbing the life energy of an organism is greater than its original combat strength.
No wonder Moro's strength increased so quickly—high-quality energy is enough to unleash power even stronger than his actual combat strength.
"Very good. Absorb more life energy in the future. Once you get used to it, you will be able to absorb even stronger life energy."
Moro laughed when he saw this.
This made Qin Chuan wonder if this guy wanted to become someone who could freely absorb the life energy of others, and eventually be arrested by the Galactic Patrol to keep him company?
……
Qin Chuan certainly wouldn't be arrested by the Galactic Patrol. As long as he had the endorsement of the trainee angel Mers, he would be fine as long as he didn't do anything too outrageous.
670
Who knows, after he defeats Frieza, the Galactic Patrol might even give him an award—the Galactic Patrol has been helpless against Frieza's army for a long time.
"Mr. Qin Chuan, thank you for your hard work."
Mels looked at Qin Chuan as he walked out of Moro's prison and said with a smile.
"Shall we continue cultivating today?"
Mels definitely knew what Qin Chuan had done in Moro's prison, but he made no comment—clearly, absorbing the life energy of a rabbit was nothing to him.
Life and death are normal occurrences, and as long as it doesn't exceed the necessary limits, Mels won't interfere.
"No, there's not much time left today."
Qin Chuan shook his head. He and Mo Luo had already used up the remaining 4 hours by cultivating their magic power, and their playtime was about to run out.
"In that case, please do more meditation training."
Mels nodded in understanding, but still reminded Qin Chuan of something.
“I can sense that Mr. Qin Chuan’s strength seems to have improved in another way… but the improvement is too fast. Mr. Qin Chuan needs to further control this power through meditation.”
Qin Chuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
But looking at Meyers, a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.
If I were to use "Blackbird Requiem" to fix the outcome of "defeating Mers"... how much would it cost in compensation?
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan almost subconsciously activated the "Blackbird Requiem" ability, wanting to give it a try—after all, there was no harm in trying.
Chapter 247 Gabriel, the Uninvited Guest
"...I feel a little dizzy."
When Qin Chuan woke up in the morning, he felt as if he had just been drunk, his head was a little dizzy and lightheaded.
The reason is simple: just now, he tried to solidify the result of "defeating Mers" with the ability of "Blackbird Requiem" in the mission world, and the feedback he received was almost as terrifying as expected.
Simply put, one's own "qi" alone is definitely not enough; it would probably require sacrificing a significant portion of one's lifespan, a large amount of planetary energy, and some special items to achieve this.
After all, Qin Chuan's goal was to "defeat Mers," which meant that it was definitely not just about defeating Mers in his Galactic Patrol form; it must also include Mers's power as an apprentice angel.
Qin Chuan was initially a little skeptical and tried to see how far he could go by simply using the "qi" in his body—and then he fainted because he had overdrawn his "qi".
In the Dragon Ball world, "ki" actually reflects a person's life state to some extent. When a person's life ends, "ki" also disappears.
The result of Qin Chuan overdrawing his "qi" was that his condition also plummeted, directly causing him to lose his senses and be forced to withdraw from the mission world.
Although this attempt did not produce any practical results, it at least made Qin Chuan realize that if he collected enough resources as a price to pay for "Blackbird Requiem", he could really defeat Mels.
How big is the gap between Frieza's current strength and Merus's strength when he uses angelic powers? Let alone a finger, Merus could probably crush Frieza to death with a little force from a distance.
With the consequence of "defeating Merus" already in mind, Qin Chuan suddenly felt that "killing Frieza" wasn't such a long main quest after all.
He had been prepared for a long time, which might take several months or even longer... but now it seems that it won't be long before he can try to defeat Frieza.
"The price to take down Frieza will definitely be high. Perhaps I can try to obtain something from other mission worlds to pay for the 'reward'."
As Qin Chuan thought this through, he suddenly realized the usefulness of his "special mission world".
Although you can't stay in a "Special Mission World" for long, it's perfect for acquiring resources.
Of course, even if one wants to acquire resources, one must look for worlds with special abilities.
The resources available in the everyday world are nothing more than money, and the price of such things for "Blackbird Requiem" is negligible, even less than a wisp of Qin Chuan's "qi".
I can only hope that tomorrow I can play some worlds with special abilities, or some games where it's relatively easy to obtain powerful items... like Doraemon.
Shaking his head slightly, Qin Chuan felt his consciousness clear up a bit.
Although he fainted due to a depletion of "qi" in the mission world, Qin Chuan's condition returned to normal as if refreshed after returning to the real world.
He sat up and looked around him—only Irisviel's arms were still around his waist, and she was still asleep.
Sayu Ogiwara and Tohru have already gotten up and are probably in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
Although there were already maids in the house, they did not intend to entrust any matters related to Qin Chuan to other maids, but rather to handle them themselves.
……
Today is Sunday, and Qin Chuan had nothing else to do, so after finishing his breakfast, he opened his online game as usual.
Kato Megumi said she was coming to Qin Chuan's house today. She just sent Qin Chuan a message and said she would arrive around 10 o'clock, which means there are still two hours to play.
As expected, Qin Chuan received a private message from Gabriel after opening the game.
To be honest, Gabriel is probably the girl Qin Chuan is most familiar with—although this familiarity is limited to the online game, and they don't meet very often in real life.
The angel who saves lives: "So you're not being a social butterfly today? I thought you wouldn't be playing games on weekends anymore."
Dog-headed Man: "It's just that I wasn't here last weekend, it's not like it's something you'd hold a grudge against."
Although Gabrielle's tone seemed teasing, Qin Chuan could sense that Gabrielle was very resentful that Qin Chuan couldn't play games with her on the weekend.
For someone like Gabriel, who's a gaming addict, weekends should be spent entirely immersed in games.
Kobold: "But you, don't you work on weekends? I thought Vigne would be urging you to earn money, so you should be working hard these days."
Because Gabriel sold the Doomsday Horn to Qin Chuan, Vigne forced Gabriel to earn money to buy it back, so Qin Chuan originally thought that Gabriel might not be online.
The angel who saves lives: "...It's alright, Vinette will forgive me."
It can only be said that those who are favored are fearless. Gabriel probably knew that although Vinette was angry, she would definitely not do anything too outrageous, which is why she dared to continue playing the game despite Vinette's pressure.
Qin Chuan felt sorry for Winette and wondered if he should send her a message to complain about her.
Kobold: "¨" But I can't play for long. I moved to a new place, and a friend is coming over later; I'll have to entertain her.
The angel who saves lives: "What!? Isn't that still pretty much a social butterfly!?"
Gabriel was clearly annoyed by Qin Chuan's cold shoulder—even though it was only in the context of the online game.
The Angel of Salvation: "But you're still a high school student, how come you can move to a new house... Where do you live? I want to come and see!"
Kobold: "You're coming too?"
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised that Gabriel, a gaming addict, would actually want to go out. He thought that Gabriel would never leave her house on weekends unless she was offline or needed to go out to buy food.
The angel who saves lives: "What? You know where I live, but you're not allowed to know where you live?"
Seemingly dissatisfied with Qin Chuan's reaction, Gabriel's tone became even more resentful.
Although Qin Chuan found it strange that Gabriel would go out on her own initiative, he still sent her the address anyway.
Just as Gabriel said, he already knew where Gabriel lived, so it wasn't a problem for Gabriel to know where she lived.
Anyway, Gabriel isn't a bad person, and she's quite a beautiful girl—why refuse when a beautiful girl offers to come to your house?
Gabriel and Kato Megumi are both coming today... making Qin Chuan hesitate about whether to invite the members of the End Band as well.
But then I thought, they might not be available, so it would be better to invite them in advance next time. Inviting them at the last minute is too rushed.
