Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There are no important holidays in July, just two solar terms: Minor Heat and Major Heat.
But even Minor Heat is seven days away, so Ren Suo didn’t plan on waiting.
Currently, in the "Critical Exclusive Ga" section, there are five gas. Since Ren Suo has not yet advanced to a level 4 player, he can continue to pick one from within or choose to refresh all gas before selecting.
By the way, Ren Suo now has 435 rit Points.
If not for that official prompt from Naiser, Ren Suo would already be overly cocky, wanting to play the popular gas in the "World Store"—yes, the ones where each ga is priced at least 400 rit Points.
But the anticipation of advancing to level 4 Player successfully suppressed Ren Suo’s desire to spend.
He is like a shopper with a cart full of items, yet still pressing down on his own hand, painfully waiting for the 618 or Double 11 sales before splurging.
"Play the free gas first, then consider whether to buy new ones!"
Ren Suo took a deep breath, cald his mind, and looked at the five free gas in the section.
Actually, there were only four—"Fighting Overlord" was a 4-star ga, beyond his selection range.
Considering value for money, Ren Suo could only opt for "Butterfly Effect," but as a puzzle ga without in-app purchases, Ren Suo did not hold high expectations for his own intelligence.
"Refresh it."
Ren Suo did not take long to decide and directly refreshed the five gas.
Such an action, commonly referred to as ’picking over thousands and choosing the worst one,’ often leads to the situation of ’ending up with an even worse batch.’
However, Ren Suo didn’t seem to be that unlucky.
There were no special effects for the refresh; the five gas just changed outright.
Ren Suo glanced at them and felt sowhat... surprised.
Of the five gas, four offered less than 200 rit Points as the highest reward.
But one ga offered a high reward of 300 rit Points and seed to be an action role-playing ga, which was very exciting.
What’s most important is that this ga had a ti limit—even though there were still 23 days, if Ren Suo didn’t encounter other circumstances, he should have ample ti to complete it.
"Mage Under the World Tree"
’This ga is an action role-playing ga. Evil fruits from the World Tree begin to fall, and Players will portray the last Magician to purify these fruits, or else monsters corrupted by Desire will erge en masse. Completing the ga can reward up to 300 rit Points, with exclusive rewards depending on the Player’s chosen paths; there may be subsequent Chapters and in-app purchase options. Ga difficulty: 3-star .’
The exclusive completion rewards of this ga, like the one Ren Suo saw before in "Sacrifice," depended on the Player’s gaming experience.
Even though Ren Suo couldn’t discern the details, from the word ’Magician’, it was clear that Ren Suo could probably enjoy himself as a Master Mage’s turret.
Choosing this ga was a no-brainer. However, Ren Suo glanced at the other four gas and also at the ti limit of this one.
Ren Suo felt that, although he had a choice, due to many reasons, he actually didn’t have much of a choice...
His idle thoughts quickly dissipated as the new ga appeared on the main screen, and Ren Suo, with his anticipation for the role of a Master Mage, entered the ga with rejuvenated vigor!
’Abandon your rationality, break free from your cage, sever your chains, and trace back to your craving...’
’What is so-called sin compared to Desire?’
In the scene, indescribable strange creatures were entrenched in purple-black Filth. Black streams spread from the murky earth toward the immaculate sky. Finally, they rged into one, forming a withered, purple, round fruit. With a muffled sound like a growl, the fruit exploded, scattering nurous seeds.
And among them, a gleam of light, impossible to ignore, shone with striking purity amidst the purple-black seeds and fruit juice.
With a sound softly shattering, this gleam of light blossod on the screen—
’Start Ga’ ’Load Ga’ ’Recall’ ’Quit’
"...That effect isn’t bad," Ren Suo murmured, but he was actually relieved inside.
Finally, there was another ga with a load option... He hated auto-save!
And this ti, he could customize his character’s face again!
After so thought, Ren Suo crafted a handso guy with silver-white hair and a rather flamboyant hairstyle—this fit his image of a Mage.
This ga was different from all the others.
After clicking on the ga, seven levels appeared on the screen, each with a distinct scene. When Ren Suo tried to select any scene, a prompt popped up, "Once the ga starts, all levels may involve combat, and only after clearing them can you choose new levels."
"Players can customize their character’s appearance and gender each ti they enter a new level."
This prompt left Ren Suo slightly confused, but it didn’t seem like there was a ti limitation—as long as the protagonist didn’t die, he should be able to advance through the other levels step by step.
So who was fighting in the other levels?
With so doubts, Ren Suo clicked on the first level—the dilapidated Monastery.
As the screen changed, the character appeared at the Monastery’s door amidst scattering feathers.
A woman dressed in a red Mage Robe, wearing a Red Hood, turned her head to look at the protagonist. She was very beautiful, but the red eye patch on her right eye and her fierce gaze made her look rather nacing.
"Are you the Magician from outside..." Red Hood said, "I am the Magic-Ard Mage, Red Hood. Who are you?"
Ren Suo thought he would have to choose a na at this point, but Red Hood turned her head and said, "Never mind, I’ll just call you Magician."
"You will be the only one worthy of that na... if you truly can help us escape this endless ’Prayer’."
"But you seem to lack an Offering? Then take these."
A ga prompt appeared: The Magician obtained "Flying Feather," "Healing Seed," and "Fragnt of Sword."
At that mont, corresponding icons for the Offerings appeared in the empty fra at the bottom right corner of the screen, looking like the Spells ntioned in the ga.
"The Magic Power of a Magician can only be activated by harnessing the power of Offerings. And Offerings can be plundered from Demons."
"To purify this Monastery, we need to find a way to ’Sacrifice’ or ’Redeem’ all the Demons here, and then the true Demon rooted deep within the Monastery will appear."
"In the end, as a Magician, it will be up to you to deal with the Demon, and then this Monastery will be completely masterless," Red Hood said, "A Forbidden Fruit without its master, even if still filled with poison, will no longer have any effect on the outside world."
Having said this, Red Hood charged into the Monastery, and Ren Suo quickly controlled the Magician to follow closely. As soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded—the Monastery was as big on the inside as it looked from the outside!
And it was filled with many monsters wrapped in evil auras. With just a glance, Ren Suo saw at least a hundred of them!
"Let’s begin."
Red Hood rushed forward, and Ren Suo definitely couldn’t fall behind. He looked at the three Skills he had now. Knowing what "Healing Seed" would do without trying, he decided to try "Flying Feather" first.
As soon as Ren Suo pressed the button, the Magician shot forward with a SWISH. The entire screen changed, dazzling his eyes.
A displacent ability, almost like Teleport!
Then Red Hood summoned three Blood Orbs and shot Red Arrows at a huge Patchwork Monster. Ren Suo used "Flying Feather" to dash over and pressed the only Attack Skill that seed viable, "Fragnt of Sword."
The next second, a One-handed Iron Sword materialized in the Magician’s right hand, thrusting toward a specific area on the monster with an upward jab!
The Patchwork Monster imdiately shifted its target and slapped its palm toward the Magician!
It was then that Ren Suo noticed the health and mana bars at the top left corner of the screen; the health bar was instantly reduced by a fair amount from that slap. It looked like a very classic action combat ga.
But what happened to the so-called Mage becoming a close-combat Mage?
To avoid attracting the attention of other monsters in the hall, Ren Suo and Red Hood lured the Patchwork Monster out of the Monastery, taking a full three minutes to completely kill this minor monster.
When the Patchwork Monster fell, there was no loot explosion or blood explosion; instead, the flesh on its body turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving behind only a gaunt man on the ground.
"I’m so hungry... so very hungry..." He knelt on the ground, arching his back like a dried shrimp, his face haggard and seemingly out of his mind.
Hm?
While Ren Suo was baffled, Red Hood said indifferently, "Alright, choose, Magician."
"Do you ’Redeem’, or do you ’Sacrifice’? Of course, it’s ’Sacrifice’, don’t you think?"
On the screen, the Magician raised both hands.
The right hand exuded blood-red Energy, the entire palm wrapped in bloody light, representing "Sacrifice."
The left hand exuded green-white Energy, the entire palm wrapped in light, representing "Redemption."
"The so-called Magician, by their very existence, is the law itself, capable of arbitrarily deciding the fate of Demons."
