The administrators of the Special Gate World.
They were currently staring at two camera feeds that had suddenly gone dark.
"What’s going on? Why aren’t they back online yet?" someone said impatiently.
"Maybe he’s in the bathroom!" someone else replied.
"This long for a bathroom break? You don’t think they started fighting, do you?"
"Probably not. Fang Xiu is only Level 15. Even though he killed a Level 40 boss, this Ying Qingying is no ordinary Awakened."
"A Demon Sorcerer. That’s definitely not your average Awakened, not to mention Ying Qingying is Level 53!"
"Yeah, as long as Fang Xiu has a brain in his head, he won’t try to provoke her."
"Well, let’s hope so."
"..."
「Inside the Special Gate World.」
This wasn’t the first time Fang Xiu had sacrificed a person.
So this time, he felt no psychological burden whatsoever.
Even inside this Special Gate World, where he was required to keep his camera on, Fang Xiu wasn’t the least bit worried.
Because once the Sacrifice was complete, all traces of it would be erased.
Although Fang Xiu had only performed a Sacrifice once before, all the evidence indicated that nothing was left behind afterward.
"You want to Sacrifice me?"
At this moment, Ying Qingying was already immobilized, but she was still roaring in fury.
"I’m not thinking about it. You’re already being Sacrificed!"
Fang Xiu smiled faintly.
Just moments ago, he had activated his Sacrifice Skill on Ying Qingying.
"This beautiful campus belle is my Sacrifice to you, Fafnir!" Fang Xiu said calmly.
He had to add that part.
Otherwise, the recipient of the Sacrifice wouldn’t be specified.
So now, Fang Xiu was directly Sacrificing Ying Qingying to the Evil Dragon Fafnir.
’He really has a thing for campus belles!’
The person Fang Xiu had sacrificed before, Lu Yu’Er, had also been a campus belle.
And now, this Ying Qingying was one as well.
A campus belle who was nearly fifty years old, that is.
Fang Xiu certainly couldn’t stomach it, but this was an Evil Dragon. Who knew what its preferences were?
It seemed its preference was exclusively for campus belles.
After all, when Fang Xiu was with Chu Qingxue, the system never prompted that she could be Sacrificed.
In Fang Xiu’s opinion, Chu Qingxue was much better-looking than Lu Yu’Er and Ying Qingying.
As for what the Evil Dragon Fafnir was thinking, Fang Xiu had no idea.
Fang Xiu was simply Sacrificing someone he had come to despise.
Whether it was Lu Yu’Er before,
or Ying Qingying now,
they had both wanted to kill him.
Therefore, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Fang Xiu Sacrificing them.
But even if the system prompted that Chu Qingxue could be Sacrificed, Fang Xiu wouldn’t do it.
After all, Chu Qingxue was his friend.
Fang Xiu was, in his own way, a man of principle.
"No... I’ll kill you!"
Hearing Fang Xiu’s words, Ying Qingying struggled endlessly within the light.
Then, she summoned a mosquito.
This made Fang Xiu frown.
Fortunately, the enormous mosquito dissipated the moment it appeared.
"Stop struggling. Just go and keep a Deity company!"
Fang Xiu said coldly, watching Ying Qingying.
Although the Evil Dragon Fafnir wasn’t exactly a benevolent Deity,
it did indeed occupy one of the slots for Deities.
Fang Xiu didn’t know what kind of treatment Ying Qingying would receive after being Sacrificed.
Would she be placed on a pedestal because Fafnir favored her?
Or would she become Fafnir’s plaything?
Fang Xiu didn’t know any of this.
He couldn’t perceive it.
And Fafnir wouldn’t tell him, either.
Of course, Fang Xiu didn’t care.
He just wanted the reward that came after the Sacrifice.
Last time, he had Sacrificed Lu Yu’Er.
He had obtained the Succubus Summoning Scroll.
Kajimi had helped Fang Xiu out a great deal.
If Kajimi hadn’t been there,
Fang Xiu felt his journey through the Gate Worlds wouldn’t have progressed so far.
He might not even have been able to kill that Level 40 boss.
After all, without Kajimi, Fang Xiu’s speed wouldn’t have been enough to find the boss before the others did.
’I hope the reward from this Sacrifice isn’t a letdown!’
Fang Xiu watched Ying Qingying, who was still struggling in the light,
and thought to himself.
"Damn you... I will not... let you get away with this!!!"
Ying Qingying roared.
Then, she was completely swallowed by the light.
She vanished from before Fang Xiu’s eyes.
HUFF... HUFF... HUFF...
Watching Ying Qingying disappear, Fang Xiu collapsed onto the ground,
panting heavily.
The Spiritual Power consumed by this Sacrifice had nearly left him completely drained.
’Sacrificing a Level 53 Awakened at Level 15... I can’t believe it consumed so much Spiritual Power.’
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected it.
This Sacrifice had been incredibly draining.
In previous Sacrifices, no matter what Fang Xiu offered, the process was always quick.
But while Sacrificing Ying Qingying just now, Fang Xiu could clearly feel that it was a considerable struggle.
Fang Xiu watched as the light before him gradually dissipated.
At that moment, he felt a wave of emptiness wash over his body,
as if he had been completely hollowed out.
He hastily pulled out a Spiritual Recovery Potion.
GLUG, GLUG, GLUG!
He chugged it down.
Finally, he started to feel a bit better.
’So when Spiritual Power consumption is this high, it drains your Mental Power too!’
This was the first time Fang Xiu had ever consumed so much Spiritual Power.
He could feel that even his Mental Power had been massively drained.
As the light faded,
Fang Xiu saw a box sitting on the ground.
Hmm, a box, actually.
It was a bit larger than a shoebox.
Fang Xiu took a look; its quality seemed decent.
The entire box was pitch-black, with a design of a giant dragon drawn on it.
