Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

"…"

After hearing Xiao Qi's words, the man's face changed at first. He didn't expect that someone would find the crystal shoes so quickly. Then he frowned and stared at Xiao Qi for a while before nodding.

"Well, if you can give us the crystal slippers, I can let you meet Bing."

Seeing the man agreed, Xiao Qi nodded quickly, and the three little birds chirped excitedly. The man took Xiao Qi to the inside of the icicle. When you get close, you can find that there are many small doors on each icicle. Many elves are playing in the doors, which looks very lively. Xiao Qi was infected by this emotion and his mood improved a lot.

Going all the way to the deepest part, they saw dense icicles twisted together to form a strange palace that was difficult to be discovered. The man took Xiao Qi into the palace, and after several twists and turns, they came to a room made of ice and snow and knocked on the door.

"Bing, someone wants to see you. She found your crystal slipper."

Soon, the door was opened, and a little girl who looked no more than a teenager stuck her head out to look at Xiao Qi. After looking for a long time, she opened the door and let Xiao Qi and the man in. Feeling the terrible ice element on the little girl, Xiao Qi determined that it was ice.

Bing invited them to sit down, her innocent and clear eyes fell on Xiao Qi, and she said nothing.

"Hello Bing, um, I found your crystal slipper."

Xiao Qi took out the crystal shoes from his backpack and placed them on the table. Unexpectedly, Bing shrank back suddenly and avoided his gaze after seeing the shoes.

Xiao Qi was very confused by this scene and looked at the man for help. The man just quickly put away the crystal shoes, then sighed and began to explain the reason to Xiao Qi.

"In that case, let me tell you a story."

"Bing is the most outstanding girl in our ice elf clan. She is only thirteen years old this year. When she was twelve years old, she went to the forest alone to train and met Liuli."

Xiao Qi felt his pupils tremble. Bing was only thirteen years old, and Liuli was going to marry her?

"Liuli is indeed an excellent fire magician, but he is definitely not as harmless as you see! Everyone knows that fire and ice are mutually exclusive and cannot be together, but Liuli fell in love with Bing at first sight and decided to marry her from then on! People in our clan naturally don't want a genius to marry someone else, and we can't accept 13-year-old Bing as someone else's wife, so we rejected Liuli."

"But...but...Liuli is already a high-level magician with fire attributes! He is also a rare genius. We have no way to resist the high-level magic array he created. In order to get ice, he repeatedly used magic on our people. Countless ice elves died in his hands! Although the elders of our tribe can still resist him, ordinary people have no power to fight back. We have been in a stalemate for several months, and everyone in the tribe is asking to marry Bing to Liuli to avoid disaster."

"There is no other way. We can only agree to negotiate with Liuli. You can marry Bing, but you have to make a ring that can communicate with all things so that Bing will not be lonely in the forest. You have to make a pair of crystal shoes that can block fire so that Bing can survive safely in extremely hot places. You have to make a crown that can seal Liuli's own energy so that Bing will not be isolated and helpless when he hates her. Liuli agreed immediately and signed a magic agreement with us."

"Because of this agreement, we can refuse to get married if these three items are not present, and he can no longer attack our people."

"When the three items were delivered, we found that they were completely different from what we expected! The ring contained his purest fire attribute, which could offset most of the power of the ice attribute, making it impossible for Bing to compete with him. The power in the crystal shoes was sealed and injected with a curse. Once they are put on, they can only walk in specific places. The crown can also transmit vision to Liuli, letting him know that everything that happened to Bing had no freedom at all!"

The man became more and more excited as he spoke. This story that seemed like a dark fairy tale also shocked Xiao Qi so much that he stood there in a daze. He never expected that the seemingly gentle Liuli was actually such a person. It was simply abominable that he would do such a thing just to marry a thirteen-year-old girl.

"We have no choice. After discovering these things, we can only ask Black Crow to take away his ring, ask the Wolf King to take away his crystal shoes, and seal the crown deep in the dark glacier to stop Liuli's behavior."

Bing listened to the man telling the story. Her expression of sadness became more and more intense, and finally a crystal clear tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

Xiao Qi wanted to comfort Bing, but she didn't know what to say. Thinking of the task the system had given her, she understood. The system at least stood on the side of the poor people and didn't let her and Liuli collude with each other.

“…I understand, but I don’t know if there is any way I can help you?”

The man stared at Xiao Qi and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"It's actually very simple. The crystal shoes are indestructible and cannot be destroyed. Although the crown is sealed, there is still a way to remove it as long as Liuli wants to. You just need to take the ring on your hand for yourself. Without the token of love, Liuli will be bound by the contract and there will be no way for you to be with Liuli anymore."

Xiao Qi was stunned and looked at the ring on her hand. She really wanted this ring. After all, without it, she couldn't even communicate normally with the three birds. But how could she get it for herself?

"When I first got this ring, Liuli forced me to bind it to Bing. You only need to break the barrier inside and bind it to Bing, and the ring will be yours. The method is also very simple, and it only requires a drop of your blood... However, after binding, you may be hunted down by Liuli."

The man did not intend to hide Xiao Qi. After all, Xiao Qi really wanted to help them. How could he let Xiao Qi be hunted down by Liuli without knowing it? If Liuli knew that Xiao Qi had ruined his and Bing's wedding, she would never let him go. Therefore, she hesitated. Although she wanted to help Bing, she could not afford such a price.

"I know this is ridiculous, but I know that you are an ordinary person from another world, and you will leave the forest completely in a while. At that time, Liuli will not be able to contact you anyway, so..."

Xiao Qi was silent. What the man said was right. When he returned to the main world, the NPCs in the copy would certainly not be able to kill him. But this still sounded a bit scary, and he didn't know what to choose.

"This is still too risky, I..."

The man saw Xiao Qi's dilemma, but apart from her, no one else could escape Liu Li's pursuit and survive. When the ring was taken back, Bing would still have to marry Liu Li, and her married life would probably be...

"Girl, if you are willing, I can help you become a magician."

“…magician?”

Xiao Qi raised his head suddenly. He didn't expect the man to put forward such a condition. Can an ordinary person also become a magician?

"Ordinary people can also become magicians, but they need a specific training method to absorb special elements between heaven and earth, plus some magic herbs to assist. Although the probability of success is very low, as long as they succeed, they can understand the method and use the elements between heaven and earth. And depending on their talents, there are many types of elements that can be absorbed."

Xiao Qi showed her hand. She couldn't resist the temptation. Magician! She hadn't forgotten how cool it was to kill monsters with a disposable magic circle. If she could make such a magic circle, she would be able to thrive in the doomsday game without worrying about survival. Compared with being hunted by Liuli, this was nothing.

"Okay, I agree, but I have to drip blood to bind the ring tomorrow night. Otherwise, I will be hunted down and killed by Liuli. Then Bing will have no choice but to marry Liuli again."

The man agreed to the request and said that he could let her try a specific practice method now.

Xiao Qi was a little surprised. Isn’t the man afraid that he will run away?

"Now?"

"I can feel your sincerity. Besides, there is nothing else we can do now."

Xiao Qi nodded and said nothing more. She certainly would not learn someone's magic and then not do things for him. Since the other person believed in her, what else was there to explain?

The man waved his hand, and a very ancient aqua-blue scroll appeared in front of the three people. The scroll slowly opened, and a huge elemental energy made Xiao Qi feel suffocated, but he still tried to open his eyes to read the contents of the scroll.

Many characters that she couldn't understand appeared in front of her eyes, but after staring at them for a while, Xiao Qi seemed to have learned them by herself. She slowly closed her eyes and began to feel the elemental power around her. The most concentrated element around her was ice, and other common elements were also everywhere. Her mental power expanded outward, drifting away, passing through icicles, icebergs, and glaciers, touching the sunlight upwards, and feeling the water downwards, until...

It was not until her spiritual power jumped down into the deep sea and saw the crown sealed in the depths, where it was pitch dark and without a single ray of light, that Xiao Qi felt a sudden sharp pain in her head. Her spirit was forced back into her body, and she lay on the ground motionless.

… …

When she woke up again, Bing, the three little birds and the man were all anxiously surrounding her. Xiao Qi rubbed his head which was still aching, shook his head and looked at them, with some confusion in his eyes.

The man looked a little excited. He stared at Xiao Qi for a while and then smiled at him.

"Just wake up, just wake up, you succeeded! Now you are already a magician. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... You actually succeeded in absorbing the dark attribute!"

Dark… attribute? Xiao Qi was slightly stunned, staring at the man in astonishment, and then lowered his head to look at his hands in disbelief. He only remembered that his head was in great pain and he passed out. How did he become a magician? And the dark attribute! How to cultivate this attribute?
