Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 52: Star is very nice to me

Star's smiling tone made Klein really think that he had done something bad. Klein said in a deep voice:
"We still have to act. We'll be seeing people all the time. We can't make it too awkward."

"And you pulled me here temporarily."

Star shook his head slightly and asked:

"If I told you in advance that you could go first, wouldn't you come and lead the way?"

This made Klein think:

As if I would really follow Star’s lead…

After all, if I discovered it myself, I would inform the captain and ask him to "copy" the other party's gas meter in the middle of the night.

But if it's this guy Sta, I'm worried about leaving him alone...

Well, I still have a gun in my hand, so I can still fight, and I won't hold Star back...

Although Klein knew that Star's strength should be the same as the captain's, he didn't need to worry about anything.

Star can find his way to the meeting room by himself, or at least tell him the way and run...

But after Star's sudden farewell a few days ago, Klein always felt that he missed him sometimes.

I shouldn't be worried that he would suddenly die again...

Alas, in this world, he is the only living fellow villager, and he is very nice to me, even giving me discounts when trading talismans.

Except that he has been a little bit naughty since his promotion, and seems to have become more naughty...

Seeing that Klein didn't say a word, Star didn't let him dwell on this matter and took the initiative to ask:

"By the way, how is your progress in digesting the potion?"

Klein said with a somewhat proud tone:

"I have found a specific direction for my role, and the digestion process is progressing steadily."

As if he had doubts long ago, he raised a question:
"Speaking of which, how long does it take to digest the potion using the 'acting method'? What standard is used to measure it?"

At the same time, Klein realized the value of knowledge about role-playing, and also knew the value of this answer. He gritted his teeth and prepared to bleed heavily.

It's okay. I got most of the information about role-playing from Star for free without spending a thousand pounds, so I still made a profit...

But to his surprise, Star did not ask for too much.

Because Klein already had a debt of 800 pounds, there was no way he could squeeze out any profit.

It would be inhumane to take the little money that Klein intended to bring to his family.

What's more, Star has come up with a better plan, instead of letting Klein bear a pile of bad debts that he can't pay back -

Why did Star want Klein to owe him so much money? Was he waiting for Klein to be promoted to "Faceless Man" so that he could dress up as a woman and sell himself to pay off his debt?

Besides, how long do we have to wait...

Ahem, I mean the kind that pays off debts seriously...

Starco felt that he would not do such a thing to his friends. At most, he would just record some of their dark history.

So Star gave his advice:

"Okay, but after giving this answer, all the benefits you get from Hainas will belong to me, including bounties, contributions, etc...."

Anyway, Xiao Ke will know the answer when he reads the diary of Emperor Roselle later, so it doesn't matter if he tells him in advance. This price is not too low, nor too bad. After all, Xiao Ke should get some benefits for helping him deal with the beginning and the end.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief:

I hope I don't have to bear a huge debt again, otherwise I really don't know how to pay it back...

Moreover, it is not good to consume in advance, especially if you have decades of foreign debt.

Klein felt that he had made a profit.

Because Star had done the most in the process of reporting the cultist Henas, and he had only been a bystander from the beginning to the end, it was not reasonable for him to feel sorry for the bounty...

Right?
It's okay. Now that I know this knowledge, I can take it to the Tarot Club to help "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" pretend to be gods, and then reuse it...

It's strange to always ask Star to help out. It will easily make the Hanged Man and others notice that something is wrong.

Especially if you know that I, a god, still need to rely on Star, a favored one, to help answer your questions...

So Klein nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Klein agreed to this condition, Star began to explain:

"In a low sequence, as long as you can act strictly, you can digest the potion in less than half a year. The fastest may even take only a month."

"As for the signs of digestion in the performance, I think you should have experienced it."

"When you have concluded the direction of acting in accordance with the potion, or the rules of acting, you will feel that your body, mind, and spirit are also adjusting at the same time, getting closer to the remaining spirit in the potion and gradually digesting it."

Klein nodded when he heard this. When he concluded that divination had its own limitations, he felt that his spiritual vision had improved a little and reached a point of digestion.

"Generally speaking, the extraordinary person can clearly feel the signs of the digestion of the potion, without anyone's instruction. If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not."

"Especially when you have summed up your own role-playing rules, you can feel that as the progress of digesting the magic potion increases, your various extraordinary abilities will be enhanced and it will become smoother and smoother to use them."

“When you finally digest it, there will be a very obvious sign, a unique feeling that is hard to describe.”

"You will feel that your body, mind and soul have suddenly entered a strange state, and you will suddenly hear an illusory sound of breaking."

"I found that something in my body seemed to be dissolving and merging with my spirit."

"That's a sign that your potion has been thoroughly digested through acting."

Star watched Klein carefully memorizing these "common sense" with his fortune-teller's memory, and added with satisfaction:

"Although you will experience it sooner or later, I'd still like to tell you about that wonderful and unique feeling in advance."

"When you have completely digested it, you can vaguely see one illusory star after another. Those stars have an inexplicable connection with yourself, as if you belong to one of them. These stars are attracted to each other and seem to want to gather into one."

"By then, you will feel your mind is much more relaxed and pure, and your condition will improve."

After Star finished speaking, he suddenly saw Klein raise his hand.

Ok?
I think I explained it clearly, right?

Is there anything you don't understand?
But after getting his consent, Klein asked a question that made him feel unsure of how to respond.

Klein asked hesitantly with some hope:

"Then... Star, if you completely digest the potion, will the aftereffects of your promotion be resolved and you won't be so 'neurotic' anymore?"

This left Star speechless for a moment. Thinking of his passive role, he could only reply to Klein:
"Children should not ask questions that embarrass adults."
