Loser System and Berserker Me-Chapter 112: Professional Corpse Collector

Clang!

Shu Yichao drew his new sword to check his new appearance via his reflection on the blade.

“White hair and red eyes? Is this a new skin? Let me check my stats…”

Name: Shu Yichao (White Hair)

Damage

Ranged Damage: 145-155 (Superior)

Melee Damage: 135-145 (Superior)

Defense

Armor: 110 (Superior)

Magic Resistance: 80 (Good)

Speed

On Foot: 220 (?)

Mounted: 250 (Average)

Overall Review: A powerful warrior hero with no weaknesses, capable of cutting and shooting enemies down. As long as you don’t get swarmed down, you can trample any enemy. However, you still need to be careful of mages and enemy heroes.

“Brave warriors of Great Tang!” Shu Yichao swung his sword, reflecting a brilliant light across the sky, “Rest assured. I, Yichao, will not break my promise! I… Hm?”

Shu Yichao suddenly heard footsteps from behind and turned around to take a look. There, he saw a fully armored man wearing a gas mask and a red-tasseled hat approaching him.

“How is it?” Shu Yichao pointed at himself gleefully. “Wasn’t I cool?”

“Cool your head!” Miazova, knowing that there was no way to salvage the situation, grasped its head in frustration. “How did you land yourself in this huge mess in such a short time?”

It had to concede that those of Shu family name people were all lunatics. This had happened for three consecutive generations now! It was as if they were obsessed with courting death!

And Shu Yichao topped the list by seeking help from vengeful ghosts!!!

Do you think that it will be that easy to exploit vengeful ghosts? Please! They won’t give you much time to fulfill the promise you have made to them.

I know that I’m a demon, but still, to be summoned by the same family for three generations and end up collecting their corpses… Fine, the last one might have his body and soul ripped apart by those vengeful spirits, so there might not even be a corpse for me to collect.

“Ten years.” Shu Yichao glanced at the timer on his screen and confidently declared, “That’s enough time.”

“Enough my ass!” Miazova felt a strong urge to hang Shu Yichao up and beat him up.

Do you hear what you’re saying? You have to recover Great Tang’s lost land, but do you think the Karluks, Uyghurs, or Tibetans are to be messed with?

Which of them don’t have a bunch of mages, warriors, and shamans? Some even have archmages, entities that even a demon like me have to avoid!

Great Tang has spent a hundred years fighting them to a stalemate, yet you think you can conquer them all alone in just ten years. Where is your confidence sprouting from?

“Tsk!” Shu Yichao rolled his eyes in disdain. “Don’t judge me by your standards. I am at least considered a semi-professional player… I shall restore Great Tang to its glorious days! Bro, do you want to challenge this map with me? I’ll carry you!”

Shu Yichao was overflowing with confidence.

Undead cities were tier-0 cities in Beacons of the Otherworld, not to mention he had the tier-0 talent Soul Summoning on top of that. He could hardly imagine losing with such an overpowered starting kit.

“Carry my ass!”

Miazova clutched its forehead. What else could it do at this point?

“So, what do you intend to do? Don’t beat around the bush. Let it be known first that I am a mage; I cherish my life a lot. I’ll only provide you with support. If I ever sense that I’m in danger, I’ll immediately dive into my personal space to seek refuge!”

Tsk! This fellow is a score slut who values his KD above all things else.

(T/N: KD refers to kill-death ratio in games.)

“Let’s see…”

Shu Yichao tapped into the minimap, his blood-red eyes reflecting a hint of bloodthirst.

Kucha was in ruins, such that it didn’t have any facilities whatsoever despite being a tier-2 city! For starters, he should find some kind-hearted mobs in the vicinity to borrow money from.

“Lend my brothers some steeds.”

“…” Miazova fell silent.

After Kucha fell, the Tibetans enslaved the youths and chopped off the older soldiers’ legs, leaving them unable to do anything except to await their deaths on the yellow sand. That was why the white-haired skeletons had been groveling on the ground when he first saw them.

“I still have some money. I should first build a Yin Pond.”

Yin energy was required to recruit an undead army, so he had to construct it even if it meant pushing back the other buildings.

So, he tapped the screen and the entire city buzzed to life.

Boom!

The ground suddenly cracked apart, and yin energy gushed out and rampaged. The world shook as ghastly wails echoed.

A bone pond filled with black water slowly emerged from the ground.

“…” Miazova stared at Shu Yichao.

W-what just happened? This ghost city began moving on its own accord under Shu Yichao’s command… and it started building itself?

That’s not right! This city should have been an ordinary ghost city!

The one who has taken over and is transforming this city is Shu Yichao!

Quite a few things must have happened in the years Shu Yichao disappeared.

【Nice to meet you, my host. I am the Femme Fatale Conquest System. You have transmigrated into a Sword and Magic World…】

Pah!

Shu Yichao turned off the information window and muted the sound. “Why does it keep showing useless information?”

He decided to go ahead and disable popups.

【???】

System 12345 was taken aback.

【What’s going on? How is my host able to block me?】

It has finally fixed the screen with System 1915’s help, but it was immediately blocked by its new white-haired, red-eyed host right away, resulting in it being unable to see anything in the end.

Furthermore, its host had hidden its profile, so other than the earlier brief glance that confirmed that its host was gorgeous, it didn’t even know whether its host was a man or a woman.

Somehow, this stirred a feeling of deja vu.

【Calm down, calm down. I need to think about what my senior said…】

It couldn’t seek help from its senior during its internship, or else it would be considered cheating.

【I don’t necessarily require direct contact with my host to pull off the internship. My senior did share ‘The Habits of Highly Successful Systems’ with me… I just have to keep my eyes on the end goal, use mission rewards as stepping stones, and slowly push my host forward.】

【Less talking, more missions…】

【Ah, I got it!】

System 12345 quickly came up with an idea.

【The closest capture target… is this one!】

Fortunately, the cheat code program had a ‘Hint’ function, so System 12345 used its administrative authority to input a small hint.

【But how do I set a mission? Why is there so much information to input? Where’s the field for the minimum favorability level?】

System 12345 felt like it was a layman reading a medical report—there were huge chunks of things that it had no idea what they meant.

【Hm? This terror level seems useful.】

【Loyalty? This works too. I’ll just use this as the mission condition.】

System 12345 swiftly typed in the details and set the mission parameters before issuing it via voice chat.

【Conquest Target: Female Slave Cimaga】

【Description: I am the chosen one of the grassland. How did I become a slave?! This is unacceptable! I absolutely won’t accept it! I am the Khan of the grasslands, the ruler of the world!】

【Requirement: Achieve a loyalty of 30.】

【Reward: A small bag of mana crystals.】

This time, System 12345 had merely removed the map fog to indicate the target’s location; it didn’t use a red ping. Surely its host should be able to finish a beginner mission like this with ease?

I bet that female slave will fall for him right away as long as he buys her over and shows her some kindness.

Ah no, it shouldn’t be that easy.

It’s an unbridled femme fatale we’re talking about here. It’s inevitable that she might be wary and even take advantage of him a couple of times, but as long as he tolerates her with a warm heart, it’s only a matter of time before she starts to nurture feelings for him.

【Gambatte, my host!】

【First buy the cute little slave over, and you’d be able to do whatever you want with her afterward… Ehehehe! Make sure you show her both your domineering and gentle sides!】

However, System 12345 soon discovered a problem.

【Ehh? Wait a moment… Cimaga is a guy?!】

Crap! I sent the wrong mission!!!

System 12345 was stunned.

【Urk… Ah, I think I can also maneuver it like that… 】

System 12345 quietly slipped Shu Yichao a Potion of Gender Change.

【The outcome is more important than the process… right?】
