I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 473 - 3: Welcoming Ceremony of the New Instance (Part 3)
The financial tycoon who also made waves in Europe looked around his surroundings. The tranquil forest at night was picturesque, and the fresh air seemed to seep into every cell of his body, cleansing his lungs and revitalizing his life.
Perhaps due to the stark contrast, in a very short time, he felt his somewhat depleted body, as if it was receiving some indescribable nourishment...
His eyes burst with intense fervor, and Victor clenched his fist tightly, determined to return here and gain recognition from that mysterious and powerful presence! At this moment, his will was firm, his desire fervent, no less than that of the elder beside him.
Oh, and those two lucky waiters, a man and a woman, also seemed preoccupied with their thoughts.
However, no matter how you say it, the fate of the four people changed at this moment.
......
...
"You can read minds?"
The Demon Hunter Girl watched as that group of people reluctantly left, looking back every few steps, seemingly unwilling to depart but forced by pressure to turn around and walk into the distant forest. Only then did she withdraw her gaze, but still, warily watched the not-so-familiar young man in front of her.
"The potential of your Ancient Blood, when developed, can also give you the talent to influence others' thoughts, what's so surprising about that..." Gu Mo glanced at Hiri and laughed heartily. "Besides, I only do this when someone on the other side is lying, trying to deceive me; it's not something I usually do..."
Mainly because mind reading is considered a high-level skill; he only recently mastered the trick.
Human minds are too fragile while his Spirit is too strong, and operating it requires precise accuracy, consuming quite a bit of mental effort. So currently, he does not use it lightly...
"If you don't read minds, how do you know he is lying..." Hiri shrugged indifferently.
"The truth needs to be confirmed by me, but a lie is different; as long as it's a lie, I can know it directly." Gu Mo answered calmly. This perhaps is an additional effect brought by the Authority of the gods of lies and deception; he seems to be able to discern lies, with no reason, just knowing it's a lie.
"Alright, let's not talk about this, Miss Hiri... let's discuss the matter you promised me."
Casually changing the subject, Gu Mo looked directly at the Demon Hunter Girl, his eyes shining like the stars in the dark night, which was also a manifestation of strong Spiritual Power, bright eyes, and sharp gaze.
"Wh-what matter..." Hiri instinctively took a step back.
"According to what we agreed, I will solve the pursuit of the Wild Hunt for you so that you have no worries, and in return, you have to use your ability to work for me for a period of time..." Gu Mo stated earnestly, though he initially claimed he wasn't interested, that was just to initially reassure her, as later on he naturally couldn't maintain that stance.
——If truly demanding nothing, yet still insisting on keeping someone, logically, it makes no sense.
——It only has the opposite effect, making the other party increasingly suspicious, paranoid.
"So it's still for the Ancient Blood..." the Demon Hunter Girl mumbled, but she also felt slightly relieved. It's not scary if he has demands; what's scarier is if he has none, as it would only make her believe he wants more plotting.
Though not completely dispelling her doubts, she generally felt more at ease. He truly didn't force her, and he indeed fulfilled his promise to resolve the Wild Hunt...
With many thoughts fleeting through her mind, the Demon Hunter Girl sighed, "What do you want me to do?"
Clearly, he could traverse worlds on his own, yet he had to have her do it. Apart from wanting to study the mysteries of the Ancient Blood, she could think of no other reason. Yet, as long as it was not the crazed Wild Hunt wanting to capture her as a breeding machine but rather wanted to discuss cooperation, Hiri didn't really mind.
Honestly, she also wanted to understand the power contained in her bloodline, currently only squandering its potential by instinct, knowing only to open a Teleportation Gate to flee to another world, yet without knowing what that world was like, let alone having the means to return to the world she wishes to go back to.
Unfortunately, she has been continuously fleeing, without means or conditions...
Until now——
In a sense, the proposal of the strange Mage in front of her matched Hiri's heart, also becoming a factor influencing her agreement to this transaction. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"There's no hurry, let's wait until sunrise tomorrow; I need to make some more preparations..."
Gu Mo seriously contemplated, yet didn't rush to have this Lady of Space-Time open a Teleportation Gate now, instead thinking more preparations were required, such as visiting shops, refreshing goods.
He hadn't found anything good in recent days; the one remaining Golden Key and the four Bronze Keys were still lying in his account. But letting them mould away wasn't an option, intending to use the Bronze Keys for lottery draws, hoping for a chance to transform them into practical cards.
Also, to feel out the depth of that gacha system, to see if the pool is deep...
......
...
Time passed swiftly.
The sun soon leaped from the horizon, and the dawn dispelled the darkness over the sea.
