Chapter 157: Kill me

In his dying moments, Ryan drank the special potion Ethan gave him, which cured his advanced heart disease.

One year later...

Death swung its scythe again, and Ryan died, bound to some so-called system. To stay alive, he had to meddle in the lives of five young girls.

“What? I have to be killed by each of these five girls in turn? I can only come back to life by getting killed? What kind of logic is that!”

“But to survive, that’s what I have to do...”

...

“Miss, I swear I won’t take responsibility for this!”

When Ryan yelled this with all his might, the whole room fell silent.

Across from him, Alice’s face was stormy, flames clearly dancing in her eyes.

The girl couldn’t believe Ryan would dare do such a thing. She clenched her teeth, gripping her blanket tightly, but even the blanket was imbued with Ryan’s scent.

Her small hand reached out from under the blanket, silent throughout the process, only to press the call bell beside the bed.

The next second, dozens of burly bodyguards kicked the door open, their guns aimed at Ryan who was still lying on the bed.

Ryan was expressionless, but the bodyguards were terrified, their hands shaking so much they could barely hold their guns steady. They had been in wars in Iraq and hadn’t been as scared as they were now.

They knew all about the young lady’s temper. She was the type who could kill without batting an eyelid, and she was clearly furious now.

How did Ryan escape from the dungeon and end up in the young lady’s bed?

Wasn’t this like courting death deliberately?

“You guys are here, good, good, good, just finish me off.”

Seeing the security arrive, Ryan felt a surge of excitement. Yes, he wasn’t scared or regretful, but excited.

This was his purpose for being here, to be killed, and then it would all be over.

However, the young lady, though her face was dark, seemed not yet resolved to kill him. She needed more provocation.

Ryan smacked his lips, disappointed at the guards who wouldn’t pull the trigger without an order.

He slowly propped himself up and, in front of everyone, repeated what he had done earlier.

He held Alice’s chin, who seemed like a doll at that moment, and then provocatively kissed her cheek hard.

[Ding~ Mission Complete]

Ryan wiped his sweat, waiting for this prompt, finally allowing a smile to cross his face.

But this smile, in front of the bodyguards, was a criminal’s brazen provocation.

...

In that instant, the world went silent.

“Take him away.”

“Huh? Take away for what? Just do it here, it’s just a matter of one shot.”

“I said... get him out of here now.”

The young lady’s voice dropped eight degrees colder, she didn’t even glance at Ryan who was still blatantly courting death, and directly ordered the bodyguards.

[Mission Status: Completed]

[Mission Success Reward: Loyalty Potion +1 (Effective for thirty minutes, cannot be used on mission targets), Skill Point +1]

Ryan looked at the golden text floating in the air and pursed his lips.

The so-called reward appeared as a strange little bottle, which materialized in his hand at a thought.

The bottle was small, about the size of a small blue bottle, sealed with a cork. To use it, one simply had to pull out the stopper and have the other person drink the potion.

The so-called Loyalty Potion would make the drinker unable to defy Ryan’s will for half an hour.

It was a pity it couldn’t be used on mission targets,he really wanted to give it to Alice, have her kill him, and end the mission right there.

As for the skill point, it was the first time Ryan had received one. It seemed to be a kind of light orb when he held it.

Ryan initially thought it was a free attribute point item, but after reading the details, he realized it was more like a gacha draw.

“Another gacha... great.”

As a Doctor who had spent $4,000 to max out on Deep Dives, Ryan had no love for these kinds of things and immediately decided to stash away the light orbs.

But when Ryan saw the penalty for failing the mission, he deflated.

[Main Mission Failure Penalty: Soul Death]

If being killed by a beautiful girl at the end of each mission phase was like dying in a game, where he could resurrect after meeting the conditions, then soul death was undoubtedly like having his game account deleted.

He definitely wanted to resurrect, which meant he had no other choice.

Looking at his 0% mission progress, Ryan scratched his head.

He had already been so bad, and yet Alice could still resist killing him,he really had no other options.

It seemed that relentlessly courting death wasn’t a sustainable strategy,he had to think of something else.

To advance the mission, the skill points clearly played a significant role. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the light orb again.

Every skill point is like a lottery ticket that you can exchange for the skills you need from the prize pool.

And skills come in different tiers. The system refreshes the prize pool based on the tasks Ryan is currently undertaking.

For instance, this time, the skill points are divided into B, A, and S tiers.

The best, of course, are the S-tier skills, which include two options: specialized vehicle driving and professional combat techniques.

Specialized vehicle driving is obviously useless for Ryan, so he sets his sights on the professional combat techniques.

Getting that skill would definitely be a boost for him later on. Alice isn’t killing him now, but the environment he’s in is pretty dangerous.

Kidnapped by a mob boss’s daughter and stuck in her villa, he’d be done for before Alice even gets a chance to kill him if he didn’t have a skill to rely on.

The A-tier skills are more numerous, with a variety of abilities mixed in.

Ryan is interested in “One-Man Army” and “Poison Expert,” both combat-oriented skills with the key feature of attracting hostility.

For example, if he were to poison Alice and then get caught, it would be hard for her not to kill him.

In the end, Ryan’s attention turns to the B-tier skills, which are more practical—even “Advanced Mathematics” is among them. All in all, it’s best not to end up with a B-tier skill.

Ryan glances at the corner where the surveillance camera is located, turns his back to the camera, and clenches the orb of light in his hand.

“Come on! Let’s go all out! It’s time for my luck to shine!”
