CH 55

Rode persuaded the staff at the academic affairs office that he was just contemplating life on the toilet and had become too engrossed to notice their calls from outside.

The staff sternly warned him, "Wasting water resources, especially hot water resources, is very shameful! The purification ability of the Holy White Tree is limited. You could have turned off the water before contemplating! And you've been contemplating for too long. The hot water tower administrator said that 301 in Building Three of the Third Hospital had hot water running for two and a half hours. We thought the faucet was left on until we saw your clothes hanging on the chair and realized someone was taking a shower."

"Your team leader is really responsible. She came as soon as we notified her. She was the most anxious after confirming with the dormitory administrator that you had returned to your dormitory."

"To be honest, we thought you had a sudden illness and collapsed in the bathroom. She was the first to break the door down and rush in, but it turned out to be such a big joke. You should apologize properly..."

The staff went on and on, finally issuing him a fine and asking him to pay for the repair costs of the door and toilet himself. They wouldn't deduct any credits, but this was a warning.

Finally rid of the staff, Rode felt deep regret. He hadn't expected the college to have water meters and find out how long he had been using the water.

Looking at the fine, he was so angry that his nose twitched. "511 silver coins! Is a toilet really that expensive? Were you working in the moldy military industry in your past life?"

Rode was not happy. He felt that the joy of his major turning point in life had been diluted quite a bit.

Oh well, he had to remember this lesson and not stay in the dreamland for too long in the future.

At the same time, Rode felt that he needed a safe environment with privacy. The college didn't value personal privacy, and the people here seemed to have no respect for privacy, instead having a habit of living together in groups.

Perhaps it was their custom.

As for the fine, Rode certainly wouldn't pay it. He planned to find a chance to coax Kassan into helping him pay it. After all, she broke the door and toilet. What was wrong with paying for it?

Rode only had 300 silver coins on him, and he needed to buy real silver bullets, which was not enough.

Hmm, he also needed to find a way to make some money. He couldn't keep borrowing money, right?

Rode thought while quickly getting the Ignition Stone and Black Crystal, then lying down on the bed, covering himself with a blanket, and tying the string on the wrist with the blanket. If anyone came, they would pull his hand gesture by lifting the blanket.

It should be no problem.Although this method is not very reliable, the probability of being disturbed again is very low, and he will return to the material world regularly to prevent accidents.

Holding the Burning Element and Black Crystal in his palm, Rode made the gesture again and returned to the dream.

With an extra room in the dream, it no longer seemed so empty and desolate, and there was a hint of human presence.

Rode stepped onto the steps, entered the hut, and came to the stone platform.

Carefully placing the Burning Element into the hollow white candles on the candlestick, when filled with the Burning Element, they lit themselves.

The dim candlelight seemed full of spirituality, and a strange feeling emerged, as if the stone platform had come to life.

All the cabinets closed themselves, and the messy tools were arranged neatly, leaving a large space on the stone platform with white characters floating above.

Special production.

Due to the current "Abyss of Darkness" state, the special production items that can be obtained are:

[Guardian of the Abyss of Darkness]: Can significantly reduce the damage received by the obelisk, lasting for three rounds until sunset.

Requires fifty humanity and one unit of any monster bone ash.

Only three can be made.

After reading it, Rode was filled with strong joy and great worry.

The joy was that there were so many powerful items, what was there to be afraid of?

The worry was that there were so many materials, where could he get them?

Rode carefully read it twice and had a preliminary understanding in his heart.

The Soul Firewood was the highest priority item to be produced. Once the star was strengthened, his power would increase, and this was his fundamental reliance.

But the materials required to make it were very complicated.A complete soul needs to be obtained by hunting monsters, and the same goes for monster ashes.

Radiant stones should be available for purchase.

But what is humanity? And what about divinity?

Especially humanity, all four items listed above require it.

Rode held up the large book and asked this question.

The page read:

【Humanity: The characteristics of humans, the foundation of human existence, representing the resistance of reason, the resistance of the soul against the invasion of darkness.】

【Divinity: The source of divine armor.】

Rode frowned.

"What is divine armor?"

【Lack of knowledge, the dreamer needs to find more fragments.】

Rode had a thought and asked, "Is this dream broken? Do I need to find more fragments to piece it together?"

【Non-knowledge-based question.】

Okay.

Although he didn't receive a clear answer, Rode had a vague feeling that this was the answer.

He then asked, "Where can I obtain humanity?"

【To the left of the obelisk.】

Rode suddenly realized that wasn't the side where the black substance appeared and settled?

That black substance was humanity?

He felt a strong sense of anticipation.

Rode returned to the obelisk with the large book and touched the left side with his hand. Large clumps of black substance floated up from the surface of the obelisk and fell like snow.

The black substance gradually rose and finally stopped at about five-thirds of the height of the obelisk.

Rode frowned slightly. It seemed to be a little higher than what he had seen before.

"Is this black substance humanity? How can I extract it?"

【Touch the obelisk with your forehead to obtain deeper operating methods.】

That's it?

Rode pressed his forehead against the surface of the obelisk. In an instant, his soul seemed to fly into the obelisk, and a feeling of completely free operation appeared in his mind. The black, fluffy substance was like a wall standing in front of him, and he could move it, pick it up, or hand it to his "outside self" as he pleased.

Its information was also reflected in his mind:

Humanity: 607.

Rode was overjoyed. Did he have 607 units of humanity? Then he had more than enough humanity materials.

But when he handed a unit of humanity to himself, 607 instantly became 597.

Damn!

10 units of humanity only equaled one unit?

As someone with a lot of humanity, he only had 60 units of humanity?

That's too unreasonable.

Rode thought for a long time and only took out ten units of humanity. These were the materials needed to make soul firewood.

He didn't dare take too much. If he ran out of humanity, he would become a beast without reason. That would be disastrous.With a thought, his soul returned. Rode opened his eyes and saw that he was holding ten slowly wriggling black tufts in his hand.

This was his humanity.

Rode checked himself and felt that there was no problem. He didn't feel like he had become colder or crazier. He recalled the indescribable scenes and thought to himself that his functionality was still normal. He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw the black on the surface of the monument decrease from three-fifths to about half, he felt very sad. Humanity was so important, yet he only had this little bit. What would happen when it was used up?

Rode asked the book. "Can humanity be obtained?"

【Black humanity comes from the human spirit, eternal hope, the redemption of dreams, noble desires, saving others, happiness, joy, and satisfaction. All of these will increase your humanity.】

Rode widened his eyes in an instant, and his heart beat wildly. Was it that simple to obtain humanity? Damn, wouldn't my scumbag divine skill, Sea King's True Scripture, shine now? Wouldn't my hard-earned emotional intelligence allow me to look down on everything? Would I still lack humanity? Hahaha, from now on, call me the king of humanity! No one understands humanity better than me! A real man must know how to talk his way out of things!

Rode laughed happily. With an unlimited supply of such an important material, he could see the future bowing down to him and starting to pick up soap.

Then, an even hotter aura burned in his heart. Rode shifted his gaze to the right side of the obelisk. What about divinity?
