Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 390: Rewards are the key to motivation

"As witnesses to the story, what do you think of it? Sakura, and... Miss Kallen?"

"..."

"Their stories are very similar to ours. To be honest, if it weren't for you, our ending... might be exactly the opposite of theirs. But it's not the opposite of success and failure, but in that world, it was Yae Sakura who was sacrificed, and in our world, it was me who was sacrificed..."

"It seems that you already understand the cause and effect of the matter."

Kallen smiled bitterly and nodded: "Actually, from the moment I woke up, I was a little confused. It wasn't until Sakura spent a long time explaining it to me that I finally understood a little bit."

"You used time to bring me, who was not yet dead in the past, to the future. I will remember this favor."

"Haha, we were companions back then. To be honest, if it weren't for your Oath of Judah, I wouldn't have been able to deal with the Herrscher of Corrosion. Even if I could barely suppress it, I couldn't completely wipe it out. So I just canceled it out. You don't owe me any favor. On the contrary, I have to thank you."

Jiang Ming chuckled.

Kallen shook her head, seemingly not acknowledging this statement: "You destroyed the Herrscher, and I should have thanked you, but unfortunately I died too early and could not repay you, so I still owe you a favor."

"Okay, okay, let's end this topic for now."

Jiang Ming quickly waved his hands. This would only cause trouble for both parties. Kallen also reacted and laughed: "Okay, anyway, I will assist you with all your plans like Ying does."

Jiang Ming did not refuse. On the contrary, he was eager for it. He just humbly said: "I respect your choice. You can stay in the world universe rules for the time being. But I will let you go after two years in the outside world. I will also let Otto, who did his best to revive you, take a good look at you."

Jiang Ming emphasized the words "do your best".

"......"

Kallen was silent, took a deep breath, and sighed.

"After reading the story of that world, I understand what Otto really means. Just like what Karen said in that world - how crazy can a person be for love? She can abandon her own rationality and conscience, and even abandon herself who resists touching taboos. How can she be qualified to accuse Otto of being paranoid and ruthless... If you were not here, I'm afraid we would all be like this."

Then, she cheered up and looked at Jiang Ming: "However, it is because of you that none of us will experience such an ending."

But Jiang Ming waved his hand again: "My justice is not pure. It is almost a wrong decision to put your hopes on me. There are many trivial matters. Even if I help, it may just be because I happen to be free at the time."

"Even though you say that, how many times have you not taken action so far? It's easy for you to see through good and evil. That's enough."

"......I'm glad you think so."

Jiang Ming shrugged, and then said: "Let's put this aside for now. Ying should have told you about the rules of the universe. If you want to help me in the next mission, practicing the rules of the universe is a must. Although there are already many people practicing... but you may be needed later. Besides, if you are the only one who doesn't practice the rules of the world and universe, it seems a bit out of place."

At this point, Jiang Ming handed over something, and Karin took it. It was a piece of white paper with densely written words on it, all of which were explanations of some of the rules of the universe, including advantages and disadvantages.

"This is a list. I have listed some cosmic rules on it. I have excluded those that are not suitable for you. The ones here are more suitable for you. Take a look."

Jiang Ming spoke quickly and in a solemn tone.

"When you have an idea, go find Misterin or Bai Heng. If I'm not in the world, they are the only two who can contact me directly. When I come back, I will condense the true meaning of the universe rules that you want to comprehend for you. But you can only choose one at the moment. After all, you don't have the possibility of dual cultivation yet. But you must choose carefully, as this may determine part of your future life."

Kallen nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"Okay, Sakura, Rin, thank you both for accompanying her for the time being... eh?"

Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, but soon became delighted: "Ying, I didn't expect that during this retreat, your Erosion Universe Rules really broke through to the early stage of minor success. It's really amazing. Just relying on your own understanding, you broke through from the peak of entry to the early stage of minor success. It can be said that you have excellent talent."

Ying, who had been waiting for this compliment from the beginning, immediately became delighted. Even the pair of slender fox ears on her head couldn't help shaking with joy. But she still said modestly: "It's just that you taught me a lot before, Ming, and coupled with the Corrosion Herrscher's use of power, I just happened to be inspired."

"Well, although the upper limit of the erosion power is not as high as the rules of the universe, it can still help people reach the next level at a critical moment."

"That, that..."

Ying suddenly became hesitant, her fair and slender hands gently pulling the hem of the shrine maiden's costume, her eyes evasive, her face blushing, and finally she looked at Jiang Ming as if she had mustered up the courage.

"Is that okay?"

"?"

Jiang Ming kept smiling and blinked, obviously not understanding what Yaezakura meant. But when he looked at Sakura's current state, his whole body trembled, and he immediately reacted, and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

The practice of the rules of the universe is difficult. If it is just the entry stage, Jiang Ming will provide help at any time. But once the realm has reached a small success, especially when it is forcibly promoted, Jiang Ming will become strict and no longer provide true meaning, but only verbal guidance.

The difficulty in reaching a certain level made everyone feel lost.

I remember that one time, in order to make everyone more interested and motivated to practice the rules of the universe, Jiang Ming gathered everyone together to discuss.

But his mistake was to call the Queen over as well... so the situation turned out to be...

"How about this, as long as we improve one small realm, or create a corresponding killer move, you must make love with us? The conditions are so tempting, there is no reason why you wouldn't be interested, right? It can also encourage people to practice dual cultivation or even multiple cultivations." The Queen supported her head with her hands and said vaguely.

"What...? No no no, that's too..."

"Wow, I think this is great!"

Mistierine's eyes were full of stars and she looked at Jiang Ming with a fascinated look on her face.

"But if you want to be more motivated, you have to make up for the previous rewards. Let me think... There are seven small realms from the initial entry level to the peak of a cosmic rule, and I have already comprehended six. Adding them together, that's 7 chances to make love... Hehehehe... Gulu, when is the best time to start?"

"You're drooling, idiot..."

"Well, I think that's a good idea."

"Just thinking about it gives me an impulse that makes me want to practice it right away..."

"Great, this way I can do it many times..."

"In that case, Rin and Yuexia are also OK?"

Without waiting for Jiang Ming to refute, the others, such as Bianca, Anna and Xiao Mei, all nodded in agreement, and even Lin and Yuexia joined in.
