Chapter 8 (1/2)
8 – Your despair is my hope
After Lu Qiu finished his dinner, he looked around the apartment, besides the corpses, it still lacked a person.
The male high school senior called Sun Qi.
Probably he got scared and escaped after witnessing the scene of Lu Qiu revealing his canines.
Lu Qiu currently didn’t intend to expose his true ident.i.ty.
In this quiet night, the Despair Points just rose by approximately 10,000 point. However, that also means that 10,000 humans survived last night, the first day of the apocalypse, and then died in despair.
Such good news …
Although Lu Qiu didn’t know whether Sun Qi was part of the 10,000 Despair Points.
However, Lu Qiu hates uncertainties.
That brat is the only one who knows Lu Qiu’s real ident.i.ty.
“Human, I’ll slowly hunt you down after I evolve.” Lu Qiu’s guess was that when Sun Qi escaped, perhaps he tripped and slammed against the doorsill.
The only thing that he shouldn’t have done was to leave traces of blood.
Vampires are creatures capable of telling people apart by their blood, and it’s more effective than using eyesight.
“System, check the cost of Despair Points needed, for me to advance my blood-lineage.”

“What are the benefits of evolution?” It probably won’t improve my body’s const.i.tution, right?
Vampires aren’t Werewolves, ah! It doesn’t matter, as Vampires have magic skills.

“In other words, it’s similar to using the skill Heart Squeeze?”
Ever since Lu Qiu used the skill ‘Heart Squeeze’ for the first time, he became fond of the feeling when holding someone else’s heart in his hand.
<the blood=”” manipulation=”” skill=”” need’s=”” to=”” be=”” exchanged=”” for.=””>
“Profiteering p.r.i.c.k!”
There are times when Lu Qiu feels like this System is quite stingy …
10,000 lives need to be exchanged for a skill and 50,000 lives need to be exchanged in order upgrade the blood-lineage the first time.
However, as long as Lu Qiu thinks a bit about it, the System doesn’t appear to be a profiteering p.r.i.c.k.
Lu Qiu carefully asked, while continuing this train of thought.
“Then … how many Despair Points are needed in order to resurrect somebody?”
The system should be omnipotent. After all, it’s aware of the number of human deaths, resurrecting somebody must also be quite simple.
Lu Qiu felt his heart being tangled into a lump, as this is what he hopes the most for.
The System had always replied quickly, but now, it suddenly became silent for a moment, and only afterwards gave Lu Qiu an answer.
<the system’s=”” current=”” priority=”” is=”” destruction.=”” theoretically,=”” only=”” items=”” intended=”” for=”” destruction=”” are=”” being=”” sold.=”” host=”” resurrecting=”” a=”” living=”” being=”” violates=”” the=”” system’s=”” principle.=”” therefore,=”” ordinary=”” living=”” beings=”” require=”” 10,000,000,000=”” despair=”” points=”” in=”” order=”” to=”” be=”” resurrected.=””>
10,000,000,000? When Lu Qiu heard this astronomical number, his heart suddenly felt ice-cold, even though a Vampire’s heart is always cold.
But … 10,000,000,000, ah!
What is the world’s current population? Lu Qiu remember’s that it’s merely over 8,000,000,000.
In other words, even if all the humans within this world die in despair, the resulting Despair Points still won’t be enough to resurrect somebody.
The cost of resurrecting a living beings is outrageous.
But … Lu Qiu’s hand touched a spot on his neck and grabbed a pendant.
It was a transparent gla.s.s bottle. Lu Qiu went in front of a window, and under the moonlights illumination, the gla.s.s bottle’s inside, which was full of dust, had the dust emit some radiance.
“System … if I remember correctly, we have to destroy more than just this one world, right?” Lu Qiu was watching the specks of dust light within the gla.s.s bottle, while inquiring the System.
<theoretically, the=”” number=”” of=”” worlds=”” that=”” the=”” host=”” needs=”” to=”” destroy=”” is=”” infinite.=””>
“That is to say, that I can also get an infinite amount of Despair Points?”
<that is=”” correct.=””>
After Lu Qiu heard the System’s affirmative answer, he once again had a joyful expression.
How to get the 10,000,000,000 Despair Points? Destroying this world isn’t enough to get it?
Continuously destroying … will be able to gather despair little by little.
Then the despair will turn into Lu Qiu’s hope!
There will come a day!
Thinking until this point, Lu Qiu finally felt relieved.
After Lu Qiu finished looking at the specks of dust emitting light within the gla.s.s bottle, his gaze became gentle and he murmured …
“Good night.”
An ordinary person would have difficulty imagining this gentle side of him, at least when one thinks about the crazy way that he treats humans.
That emotion came from the heart. After the pendant once again carefully hung from his neck, Lu Qiu made up his mind.
“System, do the exchange for the mid-level blood-sucking specie’s blood-lineage and Heart Squeeze!”
Lu Qiu wants to become stronger! Strong enough to make 10,000,000,000 fresh lives despair under his own doing.
<the host=”” currently=”” has=”” 70,500=”” despair=”” points.=”” the=”” mid-level=”” blood-sucking=”” specie’s=”” blood-lineage=”” requires=”” 50,000=”” despair=”” points,=”” the=”” primary=”” heart=”” squeeze=”” requires=”” 10,000=”” despair=”” points.=”” the=”” total=”” is=”” 60,000=”” despair=”” points!=””>
“Do it!”
After Lu Qiu gave his approval, strength poured into his body as an exchange for 60,000 lives.
