Chapter 12: The Scourge Courier

"After 10 times in a row, I felt noticeably tired."

"It is expected to be available more than 100 times a day."

In the small pavilion next to the main library of Zhuyue University, the stray cats were eating around a few plates of cat food, and Cha Xiu squatted behind them, hugging left and right.

These stray cats are not afraid of people, they are not particularly short of food, many students will give them milk bread when they pass by, and they have basically mastered the trade rule of 'give me food and I will touch it for you'.

And Cha Xiu's touch has a magical power, which can make them happy and relaxed all over the body, stray cats will naturally not resist, and even the more they touch, the more addicted they become, seeing Cha Xiu's 'empathy and don't love' touching other cats, and even rushing over to fight with the little three cats.

And after casting 10 'gifts' on this group of wild cats in a row, Cha Xiu felt very tired.

Even if he cast a 'gift' on himself, it could not alleviate his fatigue, which shows that his tiredness is not due to the loss of vitality.

He wasn't hungry or sleepy, but he was tired.

Tea Cultivator can now basically confirm that the guiding energy required to urge the runes is spiritual power. The consumption of mental power is not fed back to the body, so Cha Xiu's physical energy is not consumed at all, and it is even very abundantβ€”he has just eaten lunch.

However, spiritual power is the energy generated by the body and the soul, the image extension of the abstract soul, the abstract shadow of the image body, and the most important and impotent sense of human beings.

Mental power is important because it can perfectly tap into all human potential, to the point of being able to do something almost impossible: a flash of inspiration, foresight of the future, risk avoidance, perfect choice......

And the reason why spiritual power is incompetent is because it is basically impossible to use it independently, and mediocre people will hardly use it once in their lives, and only the heroes of the times will unconsciously use spiritual power before major events.

Even in the original world, mages like Cha Xiu only used their spiritual power as a 'key' to activate spells, not really consumed and utilized them. This kind of spell casting method that requires mental power is already a relic of ancient times, and casting spells with the help of gifts is the correct version of the Age of the Gods.

But compared with the two, tea cultivation is a spiritual system that loves the earth more. In the original world, although the way of casting spells with the help of the gifts of the gods is simple and easy, it is like a worker working for a capitalist, the worker can use the machine of the factory, but the factory is the capitalist after all, no matter how good the worker's skills are, as long as the capitalist is willing, he can take away the workers' production tools.

However, the earth's 'rough' psionic system means that all psionic people are entrepreneurs, and everyone needs to work their own and cannot get help from others. As for how far we can go in the future, it depends on each person's fate.

But now there is an obvious problem: Tea Repair will now get tired after using the 'Gift' rune 10 times in a row, what should I do when the time comes?

And unlike him, the cat Heroda was sleepy once with the 'Reading Sword'. After all, spiritual power comes from the soul and body, and there is nothing wrong with Xiluda's soul, but her body is just an orange cat, and the combined spiritual power of the two is naturally far inferior to that of normal people.

Although in addition to killing 50 Heavenly Demons, the extermination operation can be completed in 15 minutes of fierce battle, but since the mission system gives this mission goal, it means that it can be completed.

The shortcoming of the lack of demons is considered by the quest system to be overcome.

It seems that the key to completing the weekly task is the effect of the 'remote projection'......

While thinking about the details of the extermination operation, Cha Xiu closed his eyes and tried to recover his mental strength as soon as possible. The meditation method of the original world is essentially a prayer to the gods, which is naturally ineffective on the earth, and if the tea cultivator wants to recover his spiritual power, he can only rely on waiting.

Although he no longer stroked the cat, the stray cats did not leave, but circled around him, and did not dare to disturb his rest, at most licked his hands, licked his face, and a whole army of licking cats.

Students passing by can't help but take out their phones to take pictures – it's hard to hold back when you see a living cat druid in front of you.

"Yo, look at the old lady, human!"

Cha Xiu opened his eyes and saw a familiar orange cat sitting on his lap, and he couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.

"What kind of attitude do you have?" Heroda was furious: "Isn't the old lady cuter than this group of cubs!?"

Cha Xiu didn't answer, he stroked Hiluda stiffly, looked around, and confirmed that no one could ask out loud:

"Your 'Sword Marks' rune, how's it going?"

Heluda lay on her stomach with her little hands in her hands, and her tone was quite impatient:

"Alright, alright, who do you think you're talking to? The old lady is the chief swordsman of the Sword Emperor Palace, even if she can only cut 10 times a day, she can ensure that she meets the requirements of the sword marks every time, and each sword mark is exactly the same! Hey, will you touch the cat, use your nurse's power to make the old lady feel refreshed."

The advanced system of the 'Reading Sword' rune is too friendly to Heroda. For a swordsman like her, who has almost engraved the sword intent in her soul, she is completely stress-free to be proficient in the 'Nian Sword' rune, and she doesn't need to figure it out little by little like Cha Xiu.

It's a pity she's a cat.

While activating the 'gift' to touch the cat, Cha Xiu asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"This is my territory."

Hiluda looked natural, turned his head and meowed, and more than a dozen stray cats suddenly sat in a row to eat fruits, and then squatted in a row and meowed in unison.

She waved her little hand, as if to say, 'Zhuqing's family is free of courtesy', so that the stray cats dared to disperse and go back to eat and play.

Cha Xiu was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Interesting...... No wonder ......"

"Hehe, isn't Syruda amazing?" Shiluda said proudly.

Cha Xiu nodded and said:

"Even if the brain capacity is so small, the cat can still obey the orders of the superiors, and even line up to fight, and has the initial qualifications to create civilization. Once the spiritual energy explodes, the heavens and the earth will work together, and a few more pioneer wise men will appear, and it is not impossible for a huge number of cat clans to rise up as demon clans to replace the human race. ”

Xiluda tilted her head and looked at Cha Xiu, and her cute face looked so confused:

"I ask you if I'm powerful, and you're actually judging the cat's war potential? Do you still want to sterilize all the cats in the world to maintain your human rule?"

Cha Xiu let go of his hand, hugged Xiluda aside, and said softly:

"I don't have that idea right now."

Not now, once the cat gets a little smarter, will it?

Hiluda wagged her tail and watched as Chaxiu stroked and treated the other cats. She looked at it and suddenly became angry:

"Tea Shu, are you targeting me!?"

"What's for?" Tea Xiu asked calmly.

Hiluda said angrily:

"All of you here are cats, why are you so careful when you touch them, but so stiff and careless when you touch me!?"

Cha Xiu glanced at Xiluda and said, "You can speak, they can't speak, you can't compare." ”

For a moment, Heroda almost thought that the idea of being able to speak was a negative attribute. She ran over and kicked the tricolor cat who was enjoying petting, squatted on Cha Xiu's lap, and looked at him with her head held high:

"Hmph, after three lives and three lives with you, you guy is finally tired of me? Isn't my mother no longer a macho man in this life, and wants to be a kitten, so you hate me because of this!?"

Cha Xiu: "No, I don't hate cats, but I hate cats that can talk and are smart." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Shiluda away and picked up the tricolor cat that had just been kicked away.

Hiluda looked at the tricolor cat with a feeble look on her face and accepted Cha Xiu's petting, and she was so angry that her tail stood upright:

"Why? Just because you hate the inhuman sapient races of the original world? So I hate the house and Wulian and I have a physiological disgust? Is your traumatic stress response that severe?"

Tea Xiu didn't look at her, carefully controlled the flow of spiritual energy in his hand, and said softly:

"Do you remember when I said I used to be a Scourge Courier?"

"You know, that's why you used 'Scourge Courier' as your codename?"

"It's one of the reasons, but not all."

Cha Xiu looked at the door of the library not far away, it was now past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the students who had finished their lunch break began to come to the library one after another to study.

"The main duty of the natural disaster messenger is to investigate the natural and man-made disasters in the jurisdiction, and once the disaster caused by the strong is discovered, the nearby residents will be notified to evacuate. It's a cowardly position. ”

Hiluda was slightly stunned:

"Coward? Isn't Cha Xiu satisfied with the scope of the natural disaster messenger's management, and wants to rush forward to solve the strong man who caused the disaster?"

Cha Xiu glanced at Xiluda, nodded and shook his head:

"I'm not trying to solve the problem of the strong who create disasters, but I want to think about the root cause of all disasters."

Xiluda's face suddenly changed greatly, and her cute cat face showed a hint of seriousness. She subconsciously quickly shook her head and looked around, and was relieved to find that this was the earth.

Seeing this, Cha Xiu's stiff face showed a smile for the first time in a long time:

"You understand, right? The root of all the calamities in our world comes from the gods. The gods of all races play a chess game with all beings, and the strength of the strong is only a gift from the gods in the final analysis, and it is precisely because of their endless strife that we have a bite to eat for our Messenger of the Scourge. ”

"All Scourge Couriers are cowards, because we all know in our hearts what the real 'Scourge' is, but we dare not say."

Hiluda shook her head:

"But isn't there a god who guards us humans?"

Cha Xiu pointed above and said:

"I used this reason to convince myself in the past, until 'Earth' started operating."

"It's a world without gods, but it's impossible for humans to survive? Will he be buried in the belly of the beast? Are you ignorant? If you look around, it only took 5,000 years for mankind to create, and will the civilization they have created be inferior to the 'great kingdom' under the rule of the gods? ”

"At the end of the day, the 'gods' themselves are the product of a mistake. There are gods who protect humans, and there are gods who protect beasts, blood elves, and sea elves...... They fought each other, causing other races to become their minions, a source of disaster for humanity. ”

Shiluda argued:

"But other races have also suffered great casualties due to various disasters, and in history, when our human race was powerful, we also oppressed other races away from the land of gods with a pleasant climate......

"Isn't that good?"

Xiluda was dumb for a moment, she opened her big beautiful eyes, and looked at Cha Xiu in a daze.

"There is no room for peace among the intelligent races competing for limited resources in a limited space. Only by completely exterminating other intelligent races can the interests of one's own race be maximized. ”

While stroking the three-color cat, Cha Xiu said calmly:

"I see a human being injured by a disaster, and I grieve for it. As for the few, dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of other alien races who died in the disaster, what does that have to do with me? ”

Hiluda wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She felt that what Cha Xiu said was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

In the Sword Emperor Palace, although most of them are Terran swordsmen, they are not without apprentices of the blood clan, beast clan, and elf clan. Hiluda has a few acquaintances with foreign brothers and sisters, and her heart rejects the absolute racial view of tea cultivation.

Cha Xiu glanced at her and suddenly asked:

"Shiluda, you said that in "Earth 2", humanity is almost extinct, and demons and monsters take advantage of the situation to occupy the top of the food chain, isn't that so?"

Hiluda nodded blankly, "Yes."

"And our current main mission 'Turning the Sky' is equivalent to nipped in the bud the hope of the rise of alien races in order to ensure the absolute dominance of mankind."

"It's like a cat." Cha Xiu scratched the chin of the tricolor cat and said:

"Maybe in the future, the cat demon will become a powerful race, then what we need to do now is to completely eliminate the opportunity for the rise of the cat demon, so that all cats can remain in their current state: they can be human pets, they can go to the wild to wander, but they must not ...... Let them have an equal opportunity to talk to humans. ”

"That's why I like them and I don't like you. Because they are subordinate races that are subservient to me, and you ...... No. ”

Hiluda looked at the stray cats playing in the pavilion, and then at his balls of meat, revealing a hint of doubt:

"Isn't Heroda a cat rape? No, no, my mother used to be a human being, or your comrade-in-arms, and you actually want me to surrender to you!? You're so perverted!"

Cha Xiu turned his head to look at Xiluda, stretched out his hand and touched her head:

"Hilda, I want you to have a clear idea of what we are going to do in the future. Since we pray for a secure life, we must fight against those who also pray for security. What we need to do in the future is to nip them in the bud. ”

"That's why I really call myself the 'Scourge Messenger'. The natural disaster messenger of the original world is the cowardly mask of tea repair, and the current natural disaster messenger is my tea repair's lifelong pursuit. ”

"I have volunteered to be the Messenger of Natural Disasters to the Humans of Earth, intent on stifling the root causes of all disasters, and never allowing any being to override humanity again, let alone allow other races to threaten the absolute domination of humanity...... Absolutely not! ”

Cha Xiu's tone did not fluctuate when he spoke, and he was as calm as if he was reading. But his glowing eyes were the first time Heluda had seen them.

"So, Hilda, I thank you for your willingness to fight with me, for this is a thorny path destined to destroy many lives and full of tribulations." Cha Xiu thanked him very seriously.

Hiluda sighed, her ears and whiskers drooping.

"It seems that this cat rape, Heroda is decided."

Cha Xiu's hand slammed away from Hilda's cat's head as if it had touched static electricity.

"Actually, the mentally handicapped look you look like when you're not talking."

"Tea Xiu, go back to the dormitory and rub the carving!"

Hiluda ran over and kicked Chaxiu in the leg and walked away in a huff.

Cha Xiu looked at the blue sky outside, his expression was full of determination, he clenched his fists, and whispered:

"For the blue and clear world."

Suddenly, Cha Xiu felt that the fatigue on his body was swept away, his brain was also refreshed, his waist no longer hurt, his legs were no longer sore, and his body was more energetic.

He was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had found the correct solution.
