Loser System and Berserker Me

Chapter 125: Think Win-Win-Win

Miazova clicked its tongue as it watched as Bikna was trampled by the White-haired Ghost Horsemen. It finally understood why Shu Yichao was so confident of conquering the Western Region within ten years.

His sea of skeletons was terrifying. It could even wear down a hero-class warrior and kill her.

I never thought that Shu Yichao could raise an undead calamity in this world… though I still don’t understand how a human skeleton could crawl out of a dead chicken’s carcass.

“Grandson, can’t you do it any faster?” Miazova asked Shu Yichao.

It had no idea how Shu Yichao was able to blatantly violate the laws of the world to raise the dead, but it knew that he had to quickly settle things. Otherwise, the consciousness of the world would quell the undead calamity when it finally noticed this anomaly.

“Of course!” Shu Yichao grinned. He tapped into his city construction interface. “I have already promised to carry you; you can leave it all to me!”

It just so happened that yet another building had finished construction.

“I’m finally able to summon specters!”

While he could slowly wear down a hero-class warrior with his sea of skeletons, this strategy might not be as effective against a hero-class mage. That was why he needed specters.

“Hm?” Shu Yichao tapped into his profile. “Does killing heroes give out that many experience points? I leveled up again.”

“Isn’t the answer obvious?”

What else could be more useful than my ‘Soul Summoning’ talent here?

Shu Yichao unhesitatingly made his choice. “I’ll upgrade an existing talent!”

Weng!

Shu Yichao’s black silver armor emanated a brilliant glow. When the light finally faded, his armor looked even more imposing and majestic than before.

Similarly, the White-haired Ghost Horsemen found themselves enveloped by waves of sinister black auras. As Shu Yichao’s hero troops, they got a share of his experience points too.

Description: An upgraded version of the White-haired Ghost Horsemen, they are your most loyal and stalwart army. As long as you don’t blindly charge in on your own, they will ensure your safety until they return to the netherworld.

Shu Yichao was overjoyed to see the ghost horsemen’s upgrade. Their armor was much more resilient than before, and even their steeds were half-armored now.

“How dashing! I wonder how they’ll look once I max Soul Summoning… Hehehe!”

Ghouls were useless in the earlier phase of the game, so Shu Yichao didn’t bother constructing any of their buildings. Instead, he went straight to unlocking specters. However, it was fortunate that he could convert corpses into ghouls with his talent.

Ghouls were better at menial labor such as digging mines and chopping trees than skeletons, with their fleshed-out bodies.

You are mature ghouls. It’s about time for you to earn your own upkeep!

“Speaking of which,” Shu Yichao smacked his head, “I should test out the effectiveness of Soul Summoning.”

Krk krk!

An army of skeletons rose from the mud, filling the vast field. This included a pale-faced, blank-eyed Bikna too.

“What the…” Miazova gasped.

It’s getting more ridiculous. I saw that woman getting trampled into dust just a few minutes ago, but somehow she managed to rise from the ground as a zombie…

“Damn it. What the hell is this? Reviving with full health?!”

?Huh? My host, aren’t you progressing too fast?!?

System 12345 was at a loss for words.

It did think that its host would have many common topics with Bikna as fellow adventurers, but they still needed time to familiarize themselves and get to know each other. Then, it would take even more time before forging a ‘deep bond’.

Yet…

Bikna was conquered before it could even release the mission?

?Damn, it feels like I’m extraneous here.?

What’s with this insane speed? Bikna is a hero-class warrior! Surely my host is being too brazen and wild by tackling down all the capture targets that appeared in his path? It’s like he intends to conquer the world solely with his ‘Holy Sword’!

System 12345 heaved a sigh. It eyed the data.

Shock, anger, hesitation, peace, and finally devotion. Bikna’s stamina was rapidly consumed in the process, and she was even knocked out for a brief moment…

?WAOOOOOO!!!?

System 12345 felt like its CPU was going to hang.

My host, did you first corner Bikna, driving in that she has nowhere to run, before rapidly consuming her stamina, weakening her to the point where she fell limp, till the thought of resisting was rammed out of her mind?

?My host, I thought that you looked delicate, but…?

System 12345 recalled the glimpse it had seen of its host.

?But you are a total beast!?

But who cares? My host wins the capture targets’ hearts, the capture targets find the love of their lives, and I will get a good score for my internship. It’s a win-win-win situation!

That’s called think win-win-win!

?Let me see what rewards I can give my host this time…?
