Ron’s cheat finally arrived, the system was activated.
But, the system did not provide him with a way to survive, it only gave Ron a choice.
Two paths, indulge once and then die, or rack his brains to struggle, chasing the slim hope of survival, while the world might be destroyed because of it.
On the two sides of the scale, one side was his own life, the other was the lives of billions in this world.
No need to doubt, of course choose his own life!
This was just a game after all.
Ron had no sentiment of sacrificing himself for others and willingly becoming an unsung hero.
He was not a saint.
Although Aurelia was a very tempting nun, in Ron’s heart, his own life was still more important.
As long as he lived, there would be infinite possibilities.
He would not give up an entire forest for a single tree… moreover, he only had ten minutes to savor the beauty of this tree.
However, how to survive was a difficult problem.
Ron’s magic power was very weak.
Relying on that tiny bit of weak magic, plus a small fireball, to survive under the siege of Herman and five hundred holy knights was almost impossible.
Ron lightly tapped the table with his fingers, his expression calm.
Although the death countdown was constantly ticking, the ticking sound continuously reminding him that death was approaching, he did not panic.
The more it was like this, the more he had to remain calm.
Panic was useless in changing the predicament.
Although the enemies the system currently determined would kill him were Herman and five hundred Dawn Knights, Ron did not completely rely on the system.
He knew very well that there was another force that wanted to kill him: The second-in-command of the Lanaka City branch of the Eternal Freedom Sect, Dawn Faruk.
In the game, the reason Ron failed to escape and was killed was largely due to Dawn Faruk’s betrayal.
And nearly all the believers in the branch who were attached to Dawn Faruk.
They used Herman’s hand to kill the original owner of this body.
Ron’s lips twitched slightly.
This was a number exceeding six hundred… wanting to survive in front of enemies of such scale, the difficulty was obvious.
Damn it, he had only just transmigrated to this world, was it necessary to start with such high difficulty?
Was there no beginner protection period?
A burst of frustration surged in his chest, but this irritable emotion was quickly suppressed by Ron.
His brain was running at high speed: Escape?
Impossible!
According to the information provided by the system, the Bruno Street branch had already been sealed off by the Dawn Knights.
Even with wings, he could not escape.
Talk his way out?
Impossible.
For Dawn Faruk, who was determined to rise above his superior, killing Ron and replacing his position was his most obsessive desire.
He could even betray the interests of the Eternal Freedom Sect.
Such a person could not be persuaded by a few words from Ron.
As for Herman, even more impossible.
The extremely hot-tempered Herman would not give Ron any chance to speak, he would directly chop him into minced meat.
Even if he had a silver tongue, he would have no chance to use it.
In that case, the only choice left for Ron was: Fight, and survive through absolute strength!
Although for the weak Ron, this option was equally absurd, eliminating all impossibilities, this was the final answer.
Ron’s brain began searching for conditions favorable to himself: He had cleared the game and knew the direction of the plot… He knew the locations of all treasure chests, which ones could yield high-level magic, which ones could yield legendary equipment… He knew all dungeon strategies, and also knew the personalities and weaknesses of all important characters… He even knew all the bugs in the game… The corner of Ron’s mouth suddenly curled into a smile.
Found it!
A bug!
Thus, the remaining nine minutes before Herman arrived became extremely precious to Ron.
Aurelia silently watched Ron.
She suddenly felt that he did not quite seem like a member of the Eternal Freedom Sect.
At this moment, Ron stood up.
Aurelia’s shoulders shrank, her slender neck instinctively moving as she swallowed, her large golden eyes filled with vigilance and fear as she stared at Ron.
If possible, Aurelia would even cover her chest with both hands.
“Y-you, what are you going to do?” Ron glanced at Aurelia: “Relax, I’m not interested in violating you.
Unless I want to save the world, I don’t plan to… I mean, hurt you.” He could not waste this short time on Aurelia.
Besides, nine minutes, who are you looking down on?
Hiss!
Aurelia sucked in a breath of cold air.
A flush instantly appeared on her face, her body trembling.
She was furious.
She knew she should not have such a reaction.
Ron not intending to violate her should make her happy.
But she just could not stop being angry.
What did this bastard mean?
He would rather let the world be destroyed than do anything to her?
Was she that unbearable?
Aurelia’s eyes seemed to spit fire, glaring at Ron through gritted teeth.
In her heart, the urge to kill Ron had never been stronger.
That gaze made Ron feel somewhat strange.
What was wrong with this woman?
He wasn’t even planning to hurt her anymore, so why was she still so angry?
Was there something wrong with her brain?
Sure enough, women were complex creatures that were hard to understand.
If you violated her, she hated you and wanted to kill you; if you didn’t violate her, she still hated you and wanted to kill you!
Ron shook his head, no longer paying attention to Aurelia, and turned to walk behind the screen.
The pure nun lost her composure and let out a sharp voice: “Ron, you bastard…” …
Silver moonlight spread across Bruno Street, covering the ground with a layer of cold frost.
The night wind was damp and sticky, like invisible hands brushing across everyone’s faces.
Right outside the main hall of the Eternal Freedom Sect branch, a large number of believers had gathered.
Without a doubt, every single one of these people deserved to be cut into pieces.
Hearing Aurelia’s scream, each of them revealed strange and lewd expressions.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Although they were quite dissatisfied with Ron, who had no strength yet sat in the position of a high-ranking cadre, they had to admit that this guy seemed quite capable in that regard.
Look, just look, a once pure nun was now calling out Ron’s name, even reluctant to let him leave.
Truly enviable.
What expression would Aurelia’s fiancé Herman have when he saw this scene?
It would surely be quite a spectacle.
…
Ron took out a round strengthening stone from his storage ring.
As a real world evolved from a game, traces of game mechanics were everywhere here, for example… equipment attributes.
A thick black-covered magic book appeared in Ron’s hand.
[Deluxe Dark Bible: White Common] [Enhancement Level: 0] [Magic Attack +5] [Physical Attack +7] [A holy scripture possessed by every member of the Eternal Freedom Sect.
Although it is a deluxe edition, aside from being particularly heavy, it seems no different from the regular version.
Compared to using magic, it might be more effective for smashing people.] He took a deep breath, placed his right hand on his left chest and drew a rising sun, his expression solemn as he spoke in a low voice: “Praise the damned Goddess of Dawn!” A believer of an evil god, a member of the Eternal Freedom Sect, actually making the standard prayer gesture of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, while uttering a prayer that could absolutely be considered blasphemous—no matter how you looked at it, this scene was ridiculous!
Ron released his left hand, letting the strengthening stone fall naturally onto the Deluxe Dark Bible.
In the next instant, a soft white light emerged from the cover.
In front of Ron, the enhancement number of the Dark Bible changed from zero to one.
Enhancement succeeded.
The bug still worked!
In the game, equipment provided extremely exaggerated combat power.
And more than ninety percent of the boost from equipment came from enhancement.
No matter how advanced the equipment was, the initial values would not be too exaggerated, but fully enhanced equipment could have stats ten times or even more than the initial value.
Highly enhanced equipment could even add additional special effects.
Even the lowest-level white equipment, as long as the enhancement level was high enough, would definitely not have weak destructive power.
And that damn game company set the enhancement success rate extremely low.
As the enhancement level increased, the equipment stats improved more and more outrageously, but the success probability dropped to hell itself.
Above +10, the success rate was probably one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand.
Worse still, once enhancement failed, the enhancement level might drop, or the equipment might even shatter.
Of course, the game company thoughtfully prepared a mythical item called the Lucky Gem.
With just one Lucky Gem, the enhancement success rate could be greatly increased, and even if it failed, the equipment would not lose enhancement levels nor shatter.
Considerate, right?
For just 648, you could buy three Lucky Gems—the game company was losing money like crazy.
This terrible setting caused dissatisfaction among many players, so a certain expert directly cracked the game and implanted a bug.
As long as during enhancement, the player controlled the character to perform the prayer gesture of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn and input a blasphemous… praising-the-goddess incantation, the enhancement would succeed 100%.
When Ron cleared the game, this bug had not yet been fixed.
This was a test!
If it didn’t work, then he would have to find a way to run away.
There were quite a few strengthening stones stored in the storage ring.
“Praise the damned Goddess of Dawn.” As Ron’s deep voice sounded, the second strengthening stone was thrown out.
On the Dark Bible, streaks of soft white light kept flickering.
When the light finally stopped, the attributes of the Dark Bible had already changed drastically.
[Deluxe Dark Bible: Although it is white common, when enhancement reaches the maximum level, it is no longer ordinary] [Enhancement Level: 13] [Magic Attack +164] [Physical Attack +275] [Additional Special Effect: Innate Divine Strength—The holder of this scripture gains +182 Strength] [Additional Special Effect: Knowledge Is Power—When using this scripture to deal physical attacks to a target, the effect is doubled!] A smile finally bloomed on Ron’s face.
He could feel how much this fully enhanced +13 equipment boosted him.
And this was just one piece of equipment.
If all the equipment on his body could be fully enhanced, what would that be like?
Combined with his understanding of this world… this wave, the advantage is mine!
