Chapter 101 Hikaru's Plan

Anno looked at Hikaru in surprise; the image of Hikaru in her mind was magnified infinitely. Although it was not known if he could defeat Duraxi, he possessed the courage to face him, and this made Anno feel like she made the right choice.

However, Hikaru was now talking to Rika with his mind, his aim completely different; he asked, "You said there is a way to destroy Duraxi?"

[Yes, even though Duraxi is protected by the will of the world, he is not invincible. On the contrary, there is still a way to defeat him; it's just that it's a bit complicated and difficult, and it also takes a long time.]

Hikaru thought while walking. He said to Rika, "Do we steal his opportunities?"

[Yes, but that's not entirely accurate. To be precise, it consumes all the energy of the will of the world protecting him.]

[The world's will is also a form of energy; the energy protects and gives Duraxi many opportunities to become stronger.]

However, because it's energy, it can be consumed. Each time Duraxi is in danger, the energy of the world will be consumed a little to help him out of danger.

[The world's will also consumes energy regularly to give Duraxi many opportunities and treasures to help him grow stronger.]

Hikaru nodded silently; he understood what Rika was saying.

Just like Rika said, the greater the danger, the more energy the world's will must expend to help Duraxi overcome it.

However, will the energy of the world's will be enough to help him overcome all the dangers?

Hikaru didn't know, but he didn't want to sit around and wait for death to come.

The main character is usually a warlike and cold-blooded creature. As long as you look at him with a hint of contempt, he will want to kill you—no, he would want to kill your entire family.

Therefore, Hikaru did not think that Duraxi would forgive him; on the contrary, he was sure that if Duraxi was stronger, he would find a way to destroy him and his domain.

Hikaru frowned thoughtfully. When Anno saw Hikaru's pensive face, she was mesmerized.

It is often said that men are at their most attractive when they are serious about their work.

As Anno continued staring at Hikaru, her face continued reddening while she hugged Hikaru's hands tightly.

Suddenly, Hikaru spoke up: "How do I participate in the two competitions?"

Anno was a little startled, but immediately regained her composure. She explained: "There is no problem with the Nermy contest; as long as you have an ID card, are under 100 years old, and have a level higher than 20, you can participate." However, the Pharmacist Enchanter contest is different; participants need another pharmacist to sponsor them, or they need to prove that they have the ability to prepare medicinal herbs.

Hikaru frowned and immediately thought of a solution. He asked, "Anno, can you do me a favor?"

When Hikaru asked that, her face became extremely bright, and she said, "Of course."

"I want you to make a few more ID cards."

…

Elsewhere, Petran and Sherwin were moving in the fog. Sherwin's body was covered in fresh blood, but it was not his blood but the blood of other players.

Petran walked beside him; he glanced at Sherwin and felt that he was stronger than he had imagined.

Despite being surrounded by more than thirty players, Sherwin was not defeated. In contrast, Sherwin was like a wolf among sheep, as he easily killed the other players.

What terrified Petran was that even though Sherwin was injured, he could still recover instantly. Besides, Sherwin's weapon was extremely special, and this scared him a little.

Petran did not understand how Hikaru was able to defeat Sherwin. But since Hikaru still defeated him, it meant that his choice was not wrong.

Petran dreamed of being stronger than Sherwin—no, not only Sherwin but Hikaru as well.

Sherwin did not say a word the whole way; he was only thinking about the young man from before.

Suddenly, the two of them felt like the space around them had changed. In an instant, Petran and Sherwin found themselves in a completely different place.

"This place is…" Petran looked confused. They were in a room that was extremely lavish and splendidly arranged.

Sherwin frowned and looked around; he was also a bit surprised.

At this moment, Hikaru appeared in front of them. Petran and Sherwin immediately bowed respectfully.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Hikaru nodded and said, "For the time being, I have a new quest for you."

"New mission?" Petran asked quietly.

Hikaru gave a brief introduction to everything from the Pharmacist Tower, to the existence of the natives and the Enchanter.

Afterwards, Hikaru assigned a task to Sherwin and Petran, each with a separate mission.

Next, Hikaru gave Petran and Sherwin their ID cards and said, "There are 100 million soul points inside. I don't care how you spend your soul points; if you run out, you can contact me." "I just need you to do a good job."

Sherwin and Petran held the ID cards in their hands, they were both very surprised because For them, a 100,000 soul points was already a huge number, but now Hikaru arbitrarily gave them over 100 million soul points without hesitation and it was a 100 million soul points each.

Petran and Sherwin feared that they had misheard, so they checked the ID card again.

That's right, it was 100 million soul points.

To them, 100 million soul points was a huge number but for Hikaru it was nothing much. Anyway, the things that Hikaru needed to be evolved or upgraded required billions of soul points.

If Hikaru told them this, he was afraid that Petran and Sherwin would be so surprised that their teeth would fall out.

However, He didn't know that currently there were multiple players who would destroy each other for a 1000 soul points.

Hikaru didn't know this, but Petran and Sherwin knew about it. There were many female players who had to sell their bodies just for a few thousand soul points.

Petran and Sherwin now shared the same thought that perhaps at Hikaru's level, the other players' disputes were like child's play.

While the other players were fighting for resources, Hikaru had begun to reach the upper class of the natives.

By comparison, it could be said that while the other players were still in the Stone Age, Hikaru had entered the steam engine era.

Back in the present, Hikaru disseminated the quest, and used mana to simulate Duraxi's appearance.

As soon as they saw Duraxi, Sherwin immediately recognized it as the young man with whom he had fought. Hikaru of course noticed Sherwin's expression, so he asked: "Do you know this person?"

Sherwin nodded and said: "Yes, we fought before, about three days ago."

Hikaru frowned and asked: "The result?"

"I won." Sherwin answered succinctly.

Hikaru rubbed his chin thoughtfully, he stared at Sherwin, as he thought about some things in his heart. He found it a bit confusing that Sherwin was the winner because Duraxi was the main character, in theory, the main character never failed.

"Tell me a little bit about the process." Hikaru said.

Sherwin then elaborated on the combat process. Hikaru could not see the past with the Cosmic Insight because Sherwin's past was related to Duraxi.

After hearing the story, Hikaru silently nodded. He thought that when Duraxi suddenly exploded with strength beyond normal, perhaps it was the will of the world that helped him.

However, what puzzled Hikaru was why was Sherwin able to defeat Duraxi? Maybe Duraxi's main character aura didn't affect Sherwin.

'Wait!' Suddenly, a thought appeared in Hikaru's mind: 'Sherwin is probably a main character too. Sherwin has his own charm, and what he has been through makes him seem like a protagonist.'

Suddenly, Sherwin added: "When I faced Duraxi, I suddenly thought of killing him, and devouring him. Killing him I understand, but I don't understand why the thought of devouring him arose."

Sherwin's words made Hikaru realize something, he frowned in thought: 'If Sherwin's feelings are correct, there are only two kinds of possibilities. One, Sherwin, like Hikaru, is a villain, and upon meeting the main character he just wants to kill the main character. Two, Sherwin is also a main character.'

Hikaru was more inclined to the latter possibility because in his opinion, a world cannot have two kings. If Sherwin is also a main character then the thought of devouring Duraxi was so that Sherwin could devour the energy on Duraxi.

Thus, only the second possibility was correct. Sherwin and Duraxi were both main characters, which also explains why Sherwin was able to defeat the protagonist.

However, if Hikaru's guess is correct, this mission is extremely suitable for Petran and Sherwin.

Hikaru smiled and said: "Okay, so your mission this time is..."

After completing the assignment, Hikaru waved his hand, and allowed Petran and Sherwin to leave. Hikaru wasn't worried either, he believed that they would quickly get used to their current situation and begin the quest.

After Petran and Sherwin left, Hikaru suddenly spoke up: "Your mission is different from theirs, I don't think I need to teach you how to do it."

A woman's shadow appeared behind Hikaru, she smiled and replied: "Don't worry Master. I'm an expert in dealing with men."

Hikaru nodded and replied: "Good, if there is a problem, you can notify me at any time."

"Yes, Master."

After that, the woman disappeared, and Hikaru also left the room.

…

Anno sat on a roadside bench, watching the constant flow of people moving in front of her eyes but her mind was elsewhere.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

A voice rang out, Anno was delighted to see Hikaru appear.

Anno didn't understand why Hikaru only left for about an hour, but during that time, Anno felt very empty, very sad, and very lonely.

It was like the whole world was plunged into endless darkness.

Anno didn't quite understand why she felt that way. She only knew that being with Hikaru would make her a lot more comfortable, and everything around her seemed to glow.

Anno shook her head, and smiled at Hikaru, a smile as bright as the sunlight broke through the fog and enveloped him.

Hikaru had to admit that Anno was very beautiful, her beauty made people want to hug her and protect her.

Anno said with a smile: "It's okay, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

"Ack!" Hikaru was a little startled, what she said could make men instantly fall in love with her .

Hikaru smiled and said, "Let's continue walking, and find somewhere that sells talent cards or skill cards."

Upon Hearing this, Anno tilted her head to look at Hikaru, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Talent cards?" Anna asked.

Hikaru frowned and asked: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Anno replied: "No one sells talent cards."

"Heh?!"
