Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 569: Chapter 267: Emotion Pocket Watch_2

From Second Awakening to Fifth Sense, all the magic potions had been sent over at once.

”If you become a Sixth Sense, I suppose a group in the Church will pledge loyalty to you.” In the room, Little Mad King looked at the magic potion in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional, ”Even I, a maid, have so many resources tilted toward me... The Church really has abundant supplies.”

Processors in Giant City had to pay Merit Points to get magic potions. Many processors had to spend half a year’s accumulation just to get one.

But for the Church, it was just an act of goodwill to offer up several magic potions...

”Could it not be abundant? Thousands of believers spend all their wealth, abandoning their families. Plus, there are so many slaves digging mines and picking Spirit Plants for them,” Li Yelai scoffed, ”They feed on the nutrients of thousands of believers, nurturing a very small elite, which naturally makes the resources abundant for the elite!”

Those believers desperate to gain power would offer everything recklessly, just for the chance to become a Spiritual Ability User.

Most of them would become distorted because of this.

But even becoming a Spiritual Ability User, they were still considered lower-middle class within the Church.

The upper-class believers could plunder everything from the lower class without worry, enjoying the provisions of the lower class.

Low Awakening users at the First and Second Awakening, in front of ordinary believers, naturally dominate as kings.

But in front of high-level believers, they still nod and bow.

Even so, the flow of believers never ceased.

The desire for power, the pursuit of desires, would drive them to become stepping stones for the Church.

”If possible, I’d really like to take everything away,” Li Yelai grinned, ”Then, our Giant City would also be considered abundant in resources.”

”We’ll see about that, we need to prioritize taking the materials from the fourth and fifth floors,” Little Mad King said, ”We’ll see about the rest later.”

Materials on the fourth and fifth floors of the Treasure Vault were extremely precious.

The fourth floor had one hundred and twenty-nine batches of Sixth Sense Mysterious Material, as well as a large quantity of Extraordinary Material that could be used to craft A-level armament.

You see, some Captain Level warriors in No.3 Border City were still using B-level armament; A-level armament was too rare.

If these were brought back to Giant City, Giant City could eventually achieve A-level armament freedom!

Even, it could arm each of his friends.

However, Starfire and the others were not at a high enough level, they probably couldn’t use it yet.

It might be good to craft a piece for the Doll, but, the Doll doesn’t seem to use melee weapons much, should he craft a piece of armor for her? Surely not an advertisement billboard?

Thinking of the Doll, Li Yelai subconsciously touched the inner pocket over his chest, where there were three small cloth bags...

Two of them were strands of the Doll’s hair prepared for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai’s strongest form was actually with the Doll’s hair tied around the spearhead, slaughtering one enemy after another with fear!

”She cut so much hair... Is she changing her hairstyle?” Li Yelai thought to himself, the girl’s radiant smile emerging in his mind...

As for the fifth floor, there were some Taboo Items and rare Extraordinary Materials, as well as Great Demon skulls that could be considered a foundation.

Taboo Items, depending on the situation, take them away. Some Taboo Items at the Main Base are too dangerous, better left for the Church to handle themselves. As for the Extraordinary Material comparable to the Ancient Dragon Ball, they must take them all!

Crafting King Level armament for the Old Mad King was unachievable, but trying Supreme Level armament might be doable.

And the Great Demon skulls... though humans couldn’t use them, Li Yelai didn’t want to leave them for the Church either. Take them away!

In the future, going to the Forbidden Zone ”on a business trip”, he might find a chance to bring them out and summon a Great Demon within the Forbidden Zone!

Hey, thrilling!

”Next, there’s the Taboo Item you brought back, the Emotion Pocket Watch,” Little Mad King reminded, ”You need to test its ability.”

”Should we find a few wandering believers to test it?” Li Yelai asked.

”No, that might draw attention, and afterward, our actions might be deduced,” Little Mad King said, ”Just use it on me directly.”

”Isn’t that a bit unsafe?” Li Yelai frowned, though it was the safest way, using Taboo Items on a teammate was somewhat risky.

”It’s alright, it’s just manipulating emotions. These tools are used on ship warriors anyway,” Little Mad King shook his head, ”And it’s with my preparedness, there won’t be any accidents.”

”Let’s take turns,” Li Yelai suggested after some thought, nodding slightly. A spatial fluctuation flickered, and a golden pocket watch appeared in his hand.

It emitted an ancient and mysterious aura.

The case of the watch was crafted from golden metal, with intricate carvings on it. Each line was clear and visible.

Through the hollow middle of the watch case, one could see the complex golden gears inside.

Li Yelai opened the pocket watch and aimed the hollow case at Little Mad King.

The gears moved, bringing forth a pointer along with different markers at four directions.

The top represented calmness, the right represented anger, the bottom represented joy, and the left represented sadness.

Now, the pointer rested at the top, indicating that Little Mad King’s current mood was stable and calm.

”Then I’ll begin,” Li Yelai confirmed that the Wise Stone was still in his pocket and asked, ”What emotion would you like?”

”Let’s start with anger,” Little Mad King responded. ”Let me feel its power.”

”Be ready,” Li Yelai moved the pointer to the right marker for anger.

The next instant, Li Yelai clearly felt a pressure as the girl in front of him seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Little Mad King’s expression remained unchanged, still indifferent and calm. However, it seemed as though a fierce fire was burning in her eyes.

She extended her arm, placed it on Li Yelai’s shoulder, and said in a deep tone, ”Okay, it’s a fascinating ability. I am indeed very angry now...”

”Is there a reason, or is it anger without cause?” Li Yelai could feel the strength in the girl’s palm.

”Why are you so stubborn? To avoid risks, it’s okay to lose some insignificant things,” Little Mad King murmured in a restrained voice. ”I suggest you immediately move the pointer!”

That was the first time Li Yelai and Little Mad King had a dispute.

Li Yelai’s face slightly changed; he dared not maintain this state any longer.

He immediately moved the pointer again, turning it to the bottom, the marker for joy.

Little Mad King’s hand relaxed, and she began to stroke Li Yelai’s hair, ”You did well, my teammate.”

Her expression didn’t change much, but her voice carried a hint of laughter.

Her hand, strong enough to strangle a Flying Dragon, also became gentle, like a girl-next-door.

Well, of course, Cheese was also a neighbor and an older sister to Li Yelai by one year, though a different style...

”This is still quite strange to me,” Li Yelai remarked, ”Shall I continue?”

”Mmm, continue,” she nodded slightly. She seemed to have picked up a verbal tic?

So, Li Yelai moved the pointer to the left, the last marker for sadness.

The next second, Little Mad King visibly began to feel despondent.

Her expression remained mostly unchanged, but her entire demeanor turned gloomy, similar to when Li Yelai first met her, or even more so.

She curled up in a corner, hugging her knees, and murmured, ”I’m still not doing enough, they still don’t believe me...”

Growing up in an environment filled with doubt was her greatest tragedy.

Her miserable childhood and experiences filled her with profound sadness.

”Don’t worry, I’ve always believed in you...” Li Yelai sighed internally, moving the pointer back to the top. Back to calmness.

Little Mad King still sat in the corner, looking at Li Yelai, and after a few seconds, said, ”I really am lucky, teammate...”

”Are you okay?”

”Of course... I stopped caring about it a long time ago,” Little Mad King took a deep breath and stood up, saying, ”Let’s stop here. You don’t need to experience this feeling... The effect is very powerful. Even though I was prepared, I was still influenced by the emotions.”

”Everything is ready, just waiting for our teammates to act.”
