She got straight to the point and placed the spherical cloth in Eugene's hand.
Originally, this should have been given to Niu Niu.
But Eugene made a mistake.
That is, the fetus in the pearl is alive!
He tried, but it was impossible to store it.
In the end, we still have to bring Ryu back to the surface.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Eugene casually put the package aside and turned to Ryu, who looked exhausted.
"how do you feel?"
He looked directly into her eyes and seemed to see something new within them.
"call……"
Ryu pursed her lips, stared at Eugene, and said nothing.
After a long while, he slowly reached out his hand toward Eugene's face.
?
Eugene was puzzled as to why this girl was being so proactive today.
However, the next second, Liu had already grabbed his ear hard!
"Ow!"
Eugene cried out in pain, but Ryu showed no sign of letting go.
She then revealed a look that excited Doum when looking at trash, her face full of gloom:
"You bastard, you knew everything all along, didn't you?"
"How could that be!" Eugene protested. "I'm not a god!"
"Then how did you know that my wish would come true?"
"How could you have known I would meet Alexandra there?!"
Ryu's voice gradually rose, as if she was truly angry.
Her eyes held anger, yet her expression was also filled with sorrow.
"Do you know how important this wish is to me?"
"Why, why does it have to be presented this way!?"
Tears welled up in the elf girl's eyes once again. She choked back sobs, wanting to cry and release her immense grievances.
But Eugene didn't give her that chance.
He wanted Ryu to depend on him, but not in the way a weak little girl would.
"I know about that woman, but I'm not sure if she's actually your friend."
"I sent you there to confirm this matter."
He calmly looked at Liu, whose face was streaked with tears, and raised his hand to wipe them away.
But what he said was very serious:
"You deserve to be scolded."
"There is much suffering and separation in the world, and countless people don't even have the chance to regret it."
"And you, who are able to fulfill this originally impossible wish, are still unable to be satisfied."
"Does the whole world have to become the beautiful fairy tale you imagine?"
Perhaps not expecting Eugene's attitude to be so solemn, Ryu was taken aback.
She fell silent, processing what she had seen and thought that day, as well as Eugene's words.
Yes, the world is cruel, full of all sorts of unpredictable changes.
For Ryu, the reunion she longed for was a dreamlike and beautiful one.
But that was just wishful thinking.
The world doesn't revolve around one person, and the trajectory of fate won't change because of someone's expectations.
· ·······Requesting flowers···· ·
She met with a friend she thought she would never see again, and once again, they had an "encounter".
This is not a perfect situation, but its value is immeasurable.
Even in the original work, Ryu never saw Revis again until Revis died.
Now, thanks to Eugene's intervention, this broken thread of fate has been reconnected.
"Never despise miracles, and never expect that everything in the world will change according to your wishes."
"We can only try to make it as acceptable as possible, while at the same time becoming strong enough."
Eugene spouts endless empty rhetoric; who hasn't been fed motivational platitudes in their past life?
He was only saying that to Liu, while he himself was living a carefree life thanks to the system's cheat codes.
However, for the elf girl from another world, these words were of invaluable worth.
…
I recall the resolute look in Alexandra's eyes when she made her choice.
Liu An made up her mind that she would no longer be confused.
She couldn't change Alexandra's mind, but she could make her own decisions.
I will continue on this path, but no longer to fulfill a friend's wish.
Instead, they found their own path.
"……Thank you."
Ryu's drooping eyebrows lifted again, and the light in her eyes returned to calm.
She released her grip on Eugene's ear and, for the first time ever, boldly began to gently stroke his cheek.
"Don't worry, I'll help you." "As long as you're willing."
Eugene gave a reassuring smile.
He is neither a philanthropist nor a collector of vases.
From the very beginning, the purpose of winning over these girls was to make them his allies.
And Ryu is the second most promising prospect after Ais.
She was already level 4 five years ago, and could have easily been upgraded to level 5 long ago.
Because Astraea left Orario five years ago, Ryu hasn't updated his stats for five whole years.
Even under these circumstances, she could be considered the strongest level 4 fighter solely based on her combat skills.
Eugene is certain that once she updates her abilities, she will have at least two S-ranks and one A-rank!
Moreover, with Eugene's help, it is highly likely that the feat of upgrading to 3S can be accomplished.
"Alright, now that the task is complete, we should receive the corresponding reward."
Eugene raised his hand and a thick, lacquered book appeared in his hand.
He looked at Ryu with a smile and handed her the grimoire.
"The path to becoming stronger relies heavily on external resources."
"But the desire to become stronger lies within yourself." —Shan
Shout away, even if you scream your lungs out, it won't do any good!
Ryu's eyes lit up when she saw the grimoire Eugene handed her.
Actually, she had already planned to ask Eugene for a copy.
However, the young girl was shy and hesitated to speak up until the very last moment.
Eugene, quite naturally, seized the opportunity and presented this priceless book, worth over a hundred million.
"Does the desire to become stronger reside within oneself...?"
As Liu solemnly accepted the heavy book, her brow gradually furrowed.
She felt her own desire.
The only way to carry out one's will is to become stronger.
Only by being strong enough can one live out their true self in this cruel world and truly have a clear conscience.
Speaking of having a clear conscience...
She glanced furtively at Eugene, the blond man who always wore a wicked smile.
Clearly, such a lecherous scoundrel would be physiologically repulsive to an elf.
But Ryu increasingly felt that a corner of her heart was being occupied by Eugene.
"373" is really something.
Despite his seemingly carefree and irresponsible demeanor, he is always incredibly reliable when it matters most.
Despite being shameless and extremely lecherous, he manages to enter the lives of every girl.
Mingming is a bad person.
However, I gradually fell in love with him.
Liu nervously closed her eyes and prayed to the goddess far away in the sky for atonement.
Goddess, please forgive me.
She suddenly mustered all her courage and took a step forward.
