After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

"Ah~ I won!" Norma shouted in surprise. She bet all her belongings on Akhtar.

This made her rich.

"He's a good man." The lady beside her smiled with her lips covered, her eyes shining, and turned to look at the excited Norma.

"Miss Norma, do you want to make more money?"

"Make more money?" Norma was stunned, and then immediately reacted. The lady didn't say it clearly. She patted Norma's shoulder and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then the lady stood up and pointed at Akhtar in the duel field with the fan in her hand. The meaning was self-evident.

"Lord Akhtar may not be willing to go." Norma explained, and the lady didn't care about it and turned away gracefully.

If he didn't want to come, she wouldn't force him.

Of course, if he was willing to come, she would naturally give him a corresponding generous gift. It depends on whether Akhtar is willing to take the money.

...

...

After a while,

Duelist rest area.

"Lord Akhtar, someone... no, a lot of people have invited you." Norma stood at the door, looking at Akhtar, who was already carrying a heavy sword and carrying his luggage in one hand, and her expression was unexpectedly nervous.

Now she needs to convey all the invitations of the ladies to Akhtar. As long as she succeeds in one case, she can get a generous reward.

"Not interested." Ximu answered casually. He didn't care about the group of NPC ladies at all. His mind was all on the side quest.

Norma opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say. She had expected such a development of the situation. Continuing to persuade would also be annoying.

And she was also afraid that Akhtar would kill her and sacrifice her soul to the witch. At that time, she couldn't do it even if she went to hell.

However, at this moment.

"Maybe there is an invitation that is worth your interest." The owner of the duel field came over. He raised his hand and pushed his glasses, shining white.

In response, Ximu waved his hand and passed by the duel arena owner. He had no interest in games that could not be played in reality.

Not to mention that the group of NPC ladies were not worth his time.

"Miss Chronos's invitation, if you accept the appointment, you will be given... 100,000 gold coins, and you can also be recommended to enter the magic school." The duel arena owner spoke slowly and did not care much about whether Ximu would leave.

Anyway, he was just here to pass on a message. Whether to take this opportunity or not depends on Ximu's own choice.

It is normal for the strong to have their own pride.

"Where is the appointment?" Ximu walked back, causing the duel arena owner to be silent for a short time, and then laughed dumbly.

He pushed his glasses and said the address.

"In Room 506, Brar Street, remember to dress formally, at least take a shower, so that Duke Chronos can be happy."

"No need, she is not coming for my body anyway." Ximu said casually, carrying the big sword and carrying the luggage and left.

In response, the duel arena owner shook his head and looked at the man who left. The duelists in his duel arena were often invited by the ladies to sit at their homes. Most of them would stay overnight and leave with generous rewards the next day.

There were also pure chats, but rarely.

However, he recalled the image of Duke Chronos, and maybe Akhtar would not stay, just a simple chat.

Retracting his gaze, the duel arena owner cast his gaze on Norma and said, "By the way, Miss Anastasia has something to ask you."

"Yes, I'll go there now." Norma bowed hurriedly and left in a hurry. For some reason, she felt a little guilty.

Perhaps it was because she made money from the boss.

...

...

Bral Street.

This is the largest commercial street in Lionheart City. Due to the upcoming disaster, nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world will pass through Lionheart City to meet the God of Plague and take a temporary rest here.

This indirectly makes Lionheart City prosperous and lively.

The people who came and went were all nobles and wealthy businessmen, all dressed very decently, and everyone looked very elegant and noble.

"That... person, is he a duelist?" A passing noble lady covered her lower face with a folding fan, looking at the man carrying a heavy sword and a suitcase.

The man's body was stained with blood, and he only wore a helmet that covered his head, which was very unique in Brar Street.

However, because duels were very popular in Lionheart City, people were not too surprised by Ximu's dress.

For people, the image of wearing a pair of shorts, holding a sword, and covered with scars was not surprising.

"For money, he is just a desperate man who gambles his life." The butler, who wore a single-lens glasses and dressed meticulously, looked at his curious lady, shook his head helplessly and explained, "Miss, don't get involved with such people, they will do anything for money."

"For example?" The noble lady looked curious, and saw the butler shook his head and pointed at Ximu's back.

"Miss, they will sell their bodies and be unfaithful to their future wives."

"Is that so?" Somewhat disappointed, the noble lady withdrew her curious gaze. In this world, there are gods who control marriages. There is no polygamy or polyandry. Both parties will keep their chastity for each other.

So, even if you look at it from a female perspective, you will feel... contempt for men selling their bodies.

Of course, morality is morality, and desire is desire.

For some people, this universal moral outlook makes them even more irritated.

at the same time.

Room 506.

"..." Ximu looked at the house number in front of him, raised his hand and knocked it gently, and waited patiently.

Originally, he planned to do a side mission to improve his strength tonight, but a rare invitation was triggered, so naturally he would not miss it.

There is a well-known Witch of Time in the game, Chronos.

After a moment, the door suddenly opened automatically.

Ximu walked in calmly and saw a mature and elegant woman sitting in the living room. Her cold and charming temperament made her reveal a sense of mystery.

"Miss Chronos, what's the matter with calling me here?" He took the initiative to sit down opposite the woman, and his eyes fell on Chronos' face.

There is no doubt that she is beautiful, but there is no way to describe it. As long as you look away, you will immediately forget the appearance of the woman in front of you.

The official setting of the game is that if there is insufficient strength, there is no way to recognize Chronos's face, but when the player completes the game, there is no chance to see the face of the Witch of Time.

It’s hard not to make people wonder whether the official game model has not modeled the Witch of Time at all, so when players’ strength improved in the later period, they simply couldn’t find the Witch of Time.

"What do you think?" Kronos chuckled, picked up the teacup on the table and sipped lightly, looking at the human opposite, his eyes showing some inquiry.

In response, Ximu calmly shook his head: "I don't know."

This is a lie. As a gamer and a multi-week player, he naturally knows the reason.

However, this cannot be said directly, otherwise it will immediately arouse the curiosity of Chronos and forcefully explore the player's memory.

The result is that the player dies and the subplot of Chronos is cut off.

"You are contaminated with the breath of a witch." Kronos chuckled gracefully, withdrew his curious gaze and said to Ximu:

"A follower of the Death Witch, right?"

"Yes." Ximu didn't hide anything. He had indeed come into contact with the Witch of Death, and he also knew that the Witch of Death was now staying with Chronos.

"Human, won't you try to hide it?" Kronos's eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura became dangerous.

In response to this, Ximu rolled his eyes: "You directly told me about the Death Witch, there is no point in me hiding it."

"Yes." Kronos seemed to accept Ximu's statement, and then took out a book and a black card out of thin air.

"Do you want money or knowledge?"

"I want them all." Xi Mu replied immediately.

Kronos was stunned for a moment, suppressed the smile that raised at the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly and said: "If you want them all, then you need to do one thing for me."

"What's the matter?" Xi Mu asked, and saw Kronos snap his fingers, and a phantom appeared out of thin air.

Then an unlucky guy appeared.

It was a handsome young man with a arrogant smile, wearing a suit, with a gorgeous stabbing sword hanging on his waist, and a large number of rose patterns on his clothes.

In this outfit, he is obviously a believer in the God of Beauty and Art.

In the setting of the game, beauty and art are highly linked. Things that are regular, self-consistent, and harmonious are considered beautiful and have artistic value.

The God of Beauty and Art is the most beautiful and the most representative God of art.

"Kill him, I don't want to say the reason." Kronos sighed, his beautiful face filled with sadness, as if he had been bullied.

However, Ximu knew very well that this witch just randomly selected unlucky people who met the conditions in the city to verify his ability.

It doesn't matter who it is, for the witch in front of her, anyone's life can be used as long as she can complete her plan.

Except for her apprentice.

"I... don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Ximu said, and Chronos chuckled and looked back.

"If you can reach his room with concealment, you might be able to see his evil deeds."

Ximu pretended to think for a moment and let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, but I have to get part of the reward first."

"Money or books, you choose whichever you want." Chronos nodded, not really caring, since she originally planned to give them all away.

The human in front of her had an aura close to that of a witch. This aura did not come from the Witch of Death, but from the human being itself.

Therefore, it is worth a little investment from her.

"I'll come back and get the money after I complete the mission." Ximu chose to pick up the book and asked Chronos, "Where is he?"

"You need to find it yourself." Shaking her head, Chronos did not choose to tell her. She wanted to see how this human's mind was.

In response, Ximu nodded, took the book and left the room. After seeing the clothes of the assassination target, he was almost able to think of a way to find the target.

It is nothing more than investigating the target location through the Church of the God of Beauty and Art. However, as a multi-game player, there is no need to investigate at all, just go directly to the target location.

Went downstairs.

Ximu raised the book in his hand and felt much better. The book in his hand now recorded ten spells to summon different creatures.

The essence is to use the power of the Witch of Time to summon the reflections of dead creatures in the past and come to the present to fight.

So this book is also called Ten Types of Shadow Magic.

For novices, the ten kinds of shadow magic are extremely precious skills. After all, the skills of novices are not good, so choosing to use them as combat skills launchers is also an option.

In close combat, it is easy to be killed by the enemy with a single blow, and if the magic spell is too long, it is easy to be killed by a close-range blow.

Then using the ten kinds of shadow magic to summon different creatures to deal with different enemies, hiding behind, and using various means to assist the summoned creatures to kill the enemy is also a very mainstream way of playing.

Even at Ximu's current stage, there is still a need to use the ten kinds of shadow magic, which can help him pass the game faster.

It is not an easy thing to pass the game of Mysterious Gate purely relying on one's own skills and combat experience.

After all, the combat power balance of this game is very poor.

…

…

Dark mansion.

"Da-da-da-da-\

,"Accompanied by the regular footsteps echoing on the dark stairs, a man in a black robe gradually walked out of the darkness.

He came to a door and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" An impatient male voice came from the room, accompanied by a slight suppressed cry.

"It's me, Bernard Tolly." Ximu's voice was calm without any ups and downs, without any emotional color.

There were hurried footsteps in the room, and then the door was suddenly opened, and a man with a naked upper body and a white towel wrapped around his lower body came out.

He looked at the man outside the door, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen this man before. Although his voice was very similar to Bernard Tolly, his appearance was completely different.

Before he had time to think about it, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Before he could react, he saw the man in a black robe in front of him, who had withdrawn a few steps.

"Who are you!" The man gritted his teeth, raised his hand and touched his lower abdomen. When he raised his hand, he found that his palm was stained with black blood.

Wait... why is the blood black.

His consciousness suddenly became drowsy, he stretched out his hand to the man not far away, took a step forward, and then fell to the ground powerlessly.

"..." Ximu stood there and waited for a while, confirming that the man who fell to the ground had completely lost his breath, and then he retracted the dagger.

The game of Mysterious Gate is an open world. No matter what means you use, as long as you win.

Poisoning, seduction, siege and other means, as long as you can solve the enemy, you can get experience points, no matter how despicable it is.

And just at this moment.

"Lord Diniken, are you okay?" A weak child's voice came out, and Ximu looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a little boy with red eyes, holding a sheet and slowly walking out.

No matter which world, for these clergy, it seems that little boys are very attractive.
