After carefully reviewing the information for the Achievement Quest: Fate Terminator, Mu Bei chose "Yes" without hesitation.
【Achievement Quest: Fate Terminator has been accepted. You can now view relevant information about this quest through the imprint.】
...
A purple light flickered over Zhongli Yi's corpse, and a purple treasure chest appeared next to it.
Mu Bei stepped forward and picked up the treasure chest.
【Obtained Treasure Chest (Purple) ×1】
After putting the treasure chest into his storage space, Mu Bei was about to continue clearing the remaining resistance in Jinzhou City.
But then, a warning notification suddenly sounded:
【Warning! Because You have killed the World Child waiting in this World, You are about to suffer a fate backlash.】
【Fate backlash in progress...】
【Backlash complete, Contractor has entered abnormal state 'Fate Backlash'.】
【Fate Backlash: Within this World, Contractor's Luck attribute -5.】
【Detected that Contractor's Luck attribute has temporarily decreased, Heaven Forsaker talent effect 1 has been triggered, prioritizing judgment...】
【Judgment passed, Contractor's Luck attribute is permanently -5, abnormal state 'Fate Backlash' has been exempted.】
Hmm?
《Exempted》
The cost of this exemption is truly great.
If possible, Mu Bei would rather not exempt the abnormal state 'Fate Backlash'.
But he had no choice. Heaven Forsaker's talent effect 1 is a locked skill with the highest priority, and it is guaranteed to be triggered when the conditions are met.
Something big has happened...
Somewhat unable to accept reality, Mu Bei opened his personal information panel:
Name: Mu Bei
...
Charm: 4 (+)
Luck: -5
...
Due to excessive killing in a short period, Mu Bei's Charm attribute was already lower than when he first entered the trial World.
But this was not important to him at all.
At least, relatively speaking, it was not important at all.
Because Mu Bei saw that his Luck attribute had indeed changed from 0 to -5, and suddenly felt his vision go dark.
He had previously guessed that if his Luck attribute was temporarily lowered, it might not be able to return to normal.
Facts proved that his previous guess was very accurate.
The reason Mu Bei felt his vision go dark was not actually his -5 Luck attribute; that was just the trigger.
What Mu Bei was truly worried about was his future!
What if he killed another 19 World Children like Zhongli Yi?
Then, would his Luck attribute be reduced to negative 100?
"Stop thinking! Future, future, hasn't it arrived yet?"
After taking a deep breath, Mu Bei also forcefully hammered his helmet twice.
The green quality helmet was cracked in two places by the two loud bangs.
Whether it was due to his inner strength or the congenital genetic defect of emotional deficiency, Mu Bei did not fall into a spiral of mental exhaustion.
Mental exhaustion is inherently a valueless, meaningless foolish act.
It is even more foolish to experience mental exhaustion over things one cannot control at all.
"The worst result is nothing more than death. I have already died once, so dying again is no big deal!"
Emotional deficiency made Mu Bei lack fear of death.
Is this a good thing? For Mu Bei himself, perhaps it is.
But for others, it's hard to say.
Since life and death are interconnected and inseparable concepts.
Mu Bei also naturally lacked reverence for life, which was why Mu Bei, who had never killed before, felt no ripple in his heart when killing people.
Jinzhou City, a city inhabited by hundreds of thousands of Humans, how many people will survive after tonight?
The soldiers who went out on missions earlier will likely survive, but the Humans in the city...
Did Mu Bei know?
Of course he knew.
Did Mu Bei care?
Of course he didn't care.
What was there to care about?
People die when killed, and he, Mu Bei, would also die if killed.
Before entering Jinzhou City, Mu Bei had already prepared himself for various ways of dying, such as being blown up by artillery shells or being killed after being surrounded by ability users.
If he died, it meant his skills were inferior, and there was nothing more to say.
