Chapter 29

“【Order’s Eye Covenant* One Month (Xia’er x Aivana)】”

“Mortality Point Number: 5”

“【Xia’er’s Cotton Underwear (Slightly Worn)】”

“Mortality Point Number: 1”

“【An Su Gold Coins*996 (1000g is 1 standard unit, total 0.996 tons)】”

“Mortality Point Number: 4980”

…

Apart from the clothing on his body, Xia’er was pleasantly surprised to find that the covenant signed with Aivana could actually be redeemed.

Although the duration was only one month, he could redeem it infinitely, achieving an effect close to permanent.

In reality, Aivana had no knowledge of the covenant, so she wouldn’t avoid contact with Xia’er like she did in the simulation.

This meant that if he spent 5 Mortality Points to redeem the covenant, he could definitely gain Aivana’s friendship and continuously cultivate it, using 【The Art of Conversation Lv.1】 to get her to do things for him.

Spending 5 Mortality Points each month was equivalent to paying for a friend.

When encountering problems he couldn’t solve, Xia’er could directly redeem the covenant and then contact Aivana to establish a relationship in reality.

However, Xia’er didn’t feel happy for long when he saw the gold coin redemption interface below. His little face immediately fell.

4980 Mortality Points?! Why not just rob someone?!

Isn’t everything supposed to cost 1 Mortality Point? There isn’t any extraordinary power on those gold coins!

“Items listed in the store have fixed limits per slot; for precious metals, it’s limited to 1000g per slot.”

“The host brought out 0.966 tons, which converts to 966 standard units according to the standard unit conversion. One standard unit can be exchanged for 5 Mortality Points.”

“Can I exchange them one standard unit at a time?” Xia’er silently asked himself, feeling as though his heart was bleeding.

“Of course, after all, these are the fruits of your labor^^D”

Unconsciously, Xia’er clenched his fist tighter.

“Phew…” He slowly let out a breath and began to calculate calmly.

If 1000g is 1 standard unit, then a gold coin is approximately 7.98 grams. That means 1 standard unit of gold coins is about 125.31 coins.

So, 5 Mortality Points can be exchanged for 125 gold coins.

No, that’s not right.

Xia’er suddenly remembered that Aivana had told him that the auxiliary material she obtained was worth about 50 gold coins in the black market.

But in the system interface, an auxiliary material costs 50 Mortality Points.

That would be 1250 gold coins!

Xia’er thought back to his initial “moral” evaluation of the system store and fell silent instantly.

“Scoundrel!” Xia’er couldn’t help but curse in his mind.

“Scarce resources, so what if they’re overpriced^^D”

For a moment, Xia’er couldn’t think of how to refute it.

It was indeed quite shady, but saying it was useless was wrong too, since some things that couldn’t be obtained in reality could be bought there.

She could simply exchange gold coins in the system and then buy them in the real-world black market when needed.

Unless it was something that could only be obtained with one’s life in the simulation and had no place to sell in reality, Xia’er would consider buying it with Mortality Points in the system.

The bank raid was a bust.

Xia’er started considering whether to try robbing a jewelry store or museum next time, estimating that activating the covenant to make Aivana help her would likely yield a big profit.

Xia’er quietly planned her next robbery target.

She didn’t rush to directly redeem the gold coins.

She had already made plans in her heart.

It was now 4 AM on the 18th. By 4:45, she would meet Thomas and Solari at the Hammer Inn.

First, eliminate them. The ruffian Yian was just a small fry; later, she could even have Aivana take care of him. They posed no real threat.

By morning, without waiting for the graduation ceremony, she would directly find the dean to get a letter of introduction to the police station.

Under the cover of the police station’s identity, she could exchange the gold sovereigns and move her sister to a better place, stopping her from working in the match factory.

Then, after staying low-key for a short period, she would participate in horse racing, whitewashing the gold sovereigns on herself, and finally announce to her sister that she had saved enough tuition fees to go to the capital An Su for the promotion exam. This way, she could naturally bring her sister and herself to An Su, completely cutting off any contact with Bern.

In this way, peaceful days would continue, and life would only get better.

Although she had just robbed a bank, Xia’er’s true intentions remained unchanged. All her efforts were to protect the calm daily life around her.

It was time to settle some things in reality.

Try to compress the action time within half an hour.

Since the summoning save point was 30 minutes/5 Mortality Points, if she exceeded by even one second, she would lose those precious 5 Mortality Points again.

Losing 5 Mortality Points meant losing 125 gold sovereigns!

That was roughly four years of work without eating or drinking for her sister!

Xia’er redirected her gaze to the system interface, opened the system screen, and took a look at tomorrow’s simulation.

She wanted to see when the next day’s simulation would be. If the time was close, she would have enough energy to enter the simulation again and kill them once more.

This was the safest approach.

Unfortunately, Xia’er’s wish was not fulfilled. The time for the next day’s simulation was stuck at a very awkward time: 6:30 PM on the 19th, just one minute away from her original death.

By then, Xia’er had already been through this three times, making it meaningless to do it again. Currently, she held a pact with Aivana. As long as she established friendship with Aivana, killing an ordinary person wouldn’t trigger any investigation from either side.

Seems like the 5 Mortality Points for the pact can’t be spared…

Xia’er closed the simulation interface and opened the shop, directly spending 5 Points to redeem the Order Eye Pact.

A silver light flashed, and the familiar ancient paper appeared in Xia’er’s hand. The eye symbol at the top of the contract faintly emitted blue light.

It could operate normally…

Xia’er immediately placed the contract in the system warehouse, taking up one slot. It was the safest place and wouldn’t be discovered by anyone.

In the remaining time, Xia’er began to rest, quietly waiting for 4:45 to arrive.

Although the action could be advanced, the safest time was when the simulation killed them.

A quick murder plan was brewing in Xia’er’s heart.

As the time approached, Xia’er couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous, but soon, that nervousness was suppressed by her Calm Thinking.

Previously, all actions were in simulations. No matter how many times she failed, Xia’er knew she could start over. She was fearless of failure and death.

In reality, one wrong step could ruin everything.

One mistake required countless simulations to make up for.

In the constant cycle of tension and calm, Xia’er’s emotions finally became numb. She almost felt no tension anymore.

When the system time showed 4:44, Xia’er opened her eyes, opened the character save file.

“No.2.”

Xia’er whispered softly.
