The black magic card was drawn from the table. This time, the magic card didn’t shatter and fall to the ground, but instead released a burst of dazzling golden light—unfortunately, there was no BGM to accompany the golden glow.

What did appear with the golden light was a red fruit, about three or four times the size of a grain of rice, which dropped from the card and landed in Ethan Brooks’s palm. At that moment, he was certain he recognized this thing.

A must-have fruit in the thermos cups of middle-aged and elderly people! Goji berry!

“Congratulations, you have obtained one Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit.”

The shadow’s words made Ethan Brooks doubt his own common sense. This was clearly just an oversized goji berry—does giving it a fancy name really change its essence?

“What’s the usage of this Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit?” Ethan Brooks decided to humbly ask for advice.

“Find a cup—preferably one that can keep warm—soak it in water, and drink the infused water throughout the day…”

Yes, yes! Very good! Ethan Brooks nodded repeatedly. Isn’t this the perfect step-by-step process for soaking goji berries in a thermos, just like middle-aged people do? He really wanted to ask the other party what difference there was between using goji berries and this Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit. After all, having encountered such a fantastical event, could the prize really just be a goji berry?

“So what are the effects of this Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit?”

“This Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit is a rare and miraculous medicine.” The shadow finally discovered something Ethan Brooks didn’t know, and his spirit instantly soared. “It can strengthen your five viscera and six bowels. You must know! People can train their muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, but they cannot train their internal organs!”

“Strengthen the five viscera and six bowels?” Ethan Brooks’s eyes began to shine. “What if the kidneys are damaged?”

“Then just use more Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit.” The shadow said proudly, “One can be soaked for a whole day…”

Ethan Brooks stopped listening to the shadow’s explanation and turned to grab the magic cards on the offering table. Since the magic cards were still there, why be polite? Just snatch them!

The moment Ethan Brooks grabbed the magic card, he tried to pull… and pull… and pull… and pull with all his might…

The magic card was like Thor’s hammer—no matter how hard Ethan Brooks tried, he couldn’t pull it out.

Obviously, there was a set of rules here. Ethan Brooks couldn’t even be bothered to keep trying to snatch the card; he knew it was useless.

“As expected of the Demon King System’s holder! Just going to snatch it directly? Young man, you’re a bit impatient.” For the first time, the shadow felt his intelligence had the upper hand and decided to make his presence felt. “If you want to draw a card, you need Demon King Points. How do you get Demon King Points? As long as you do anything that harms others without benefiting yourself, or harms others to benefit yourself, you can get Demon King Points. Besides daily actions, completing Demon King missions not only gives you Demon King Points, but also extra rewards.”

Ethan Brooks realized that this system might be more suitable for his dad. After all, his dad’s job was all about walking the line between harming others for self-benefit and harming others without self-benefit.

“One hundred Demon King Points can be used to draw one magic card,” the shadow said temptingly. “Inside these magic cards, there’s not just the Five-Viscera-and-Six-Bowels Fruit, but many more rare treasures. As long as you have Demon King Points, you could even turn your enemy into a pig if you wanted!”

Chapter 8: XX Development, Don’t Be Reckless

“Anything can be drawn? Where do I see the missions?”

As soon as Ethan Brooks asked, the shadow spat out a light screen. On the screen was an opened [Imperial Edict], and the mission was written on the edict.

[Eliminate Your Enemy]: Reward—one thousand Demon King Points, gain the power of the Dragon Elephant.

The huge projected words also told Ethan Brooks how difficult the mission was—the very first mission was to kill someone!

“Can I change the mission?” Ethan Brooks voiced his question. He didn’t want to become a murderer just for a mission.

New text appeared on the light screen: refreshing the mission requires one hundred Demon King Points, or you can wait a month for the mission to expire and a new one to appear.

Ethan Brooks looked at his status in the projection: Demon King Points—zero.

Clearly, refreshing the mission was not an option.

As for killing someone, not only did Ethan Brooks not have the ability, but even if he could kill a hundred thousand with a wave of his hand or wipe out an army with a stomp, he still couldn’t bring himself to do it.

So, only one path was left for Ethan Brooks: wait a month for the mission to refresh.

“Then I’ll just wait a month.” Ethan Brooks stared at the [Eliminate Your Enemy] mission and sighed. He really wanted to know what the power of the Dragon Elephant was, but unfortunately, if it required killing someone, he couldn’t and wouldn’t do it.

The shadow once again circled around Ethan Brooks, using its tempting voice: “It’s just killing a person. That’s a chance to draw ten magic cards! Maybe you could directly cure your kidney disease. If your kidneys recover, you could return the extra one to your father. Don’t you want to…”

“I don’t want my dad to get his kidney back at the cost of losing his son.” Ethan Brooks interrupted the shadow’s temptation in a calm tone. “Killing someone means being caught by the police and executed. My dad definitely wouldn’t want to see his son shot.”

The shadow fell silent.

Ethan Brooks asked again, “How do I leave here?”
