Volume 2 + Chapter 20: Fulfilling The Purpose of Virtue Points
Name Change: [Flawless Holy Feather] changed to [Flawless Holy Wings].
“……” Winnie fell silent.
“Moreover, at this level, without physical contact, I don’t think it could be so strong.” Shikondell continued, her gaze still fixed on Winnie, without moving.
Damn it, he had returned in such a hurry that he forgot to spray the usual cheap perfume to mask the scent!
Plus, elves’ senses are overly sharp, and Shikondell might be one of the best among them.
She probably caught every bit of his scent as soon as he reached the door.
Of course, it would be strong, because…
Not only Mirexia’s scent, but even Vanessa’s scent was detected by her.
“Ahem, it’s inevitable to have some contact during work. Other male students haven’t had contact with me, right?” Winnie explained.
“Didn’t you say that the scent in the bathroom was his own?” Shikondell ignored Winnie’s explanation and asked her own question.
“But why last night, when you didn’t shower at home, didn’t bring his shower gel, shampoo, or perfume out of the dorm, why did he still have that scent?” Shikondell continued, clearly a soft girl who usually didn’t dare to talk to strangers, but now her expressionless questioning was quite aggressive.
“This…”
“Winnie, you’ve been lying to me since last time, right?” Shikondell answered for Winnie without giving him time to respond.
“Shikondell, let me finish.”
“Why? Why not just tell the truth? Why did you lie to me, why did you deceive me like those others?” Shikondell stood up from her seat and approached Winnie.
Only then did Winnie see that her eyes were not just empty, but also filled with the sadness and despair of being deceived.
‘Virtue + 100.’
‘Current Virtue: 13254.’
“So, you lied to me, are you planning to abandon me too?”
“Right, someone as troublesome and bad as me, no one would want to get close to me, you have been tired of me for a long time, right?” Shikondell seemed to have entered some dark state, constantly blaming herself.
“So it’s my fault that you lied to me, and now you don’t want to be with me anymore… Just being in the same dorm as me exhausts you, makes you not even want to spend the night there?” Shikondell’s voice became soft and low, and she crouched down, hugging her snow-white and tender knees, curling up like a quail.
“Alright, Dell, get up, the floor is cold, the flu is prevalent in the academy recently, be careful not to catch a cold.” Winnie was speechless, he didn’t understand why this matter, which was just explaining to his roommate where he was last night, had become so complicated.
So, who exactly complicated the matter??
Winnie had a headache, Shikondell’s personality was really peculiar, he didn’t know how Aesphyra in the original work managed to tame her so well.
But Shikondell’s experience was indeed tragic, a princess whose country was destroyed by tribal people, her people became slaves, she had to hide her identity and wander around, wanting to restore her country but with little hope.
From the conversation between Milian and Shikondell, it could be seen that the two were like childhood friends, but later they broke up, probably because the Golden Elves refused to help the Moon Elves in their most difficult time, completely disregarding their kinship.
Winnie didn’t know the exact reason, he didn’t know the plot that well, he had no idea about such later plot points.
This child is really pitiful, having endured all the hardships of the first half of her life before meeting her destined benefactor.
Thinking of this, Winnie sighed lightly.
“Dell, calm down, didn’t I tell you not to always blame yourself?”
“Last night, I went to a colleague’s house to work, you know the student council closes at five, except for the group leader and the president, no one can stay there, so I went to a colleague’s house to work.”
“…Was it a girl?” Shikondell asked weakly.
“What does it matter if it’s a boy or a girl? You can’t expect all student council members to be boys, right?” Winnie looked at Shikondell strangely.
“So, the scent in the bathroom, it wasn’t Winnie’s after all?”
“It’s hard to explain to you, but I didn’t lie to you about this, and, Dell, really, everyone in this world has some secrets, aren’t you the same?”
Shikondell was a bit confused.
“You also have secrets you can’t tell others, right? Don’t deny it, everyone is like that, how can someone have no secrets at all, now if I ask you to tell me those secrets, would you be willing?”
“I, I…” Shikondell’s face flashed with a blush, her speech stammering.
Her, unmentionable secret, isn’t it… her identity and her real gender?
This kind of thing, she really can’t tell anyone, once discovered, especially by those tribesmen in the academy, she doesn’t know how she would be treated.
Maybe they would secretly coerce her, if she doesn’t comply, they would kill a Moon Elf every day and send her the hair.
If that happens, what should she do? Should she listen to them or not?
And, if her real gender is exposed, she can’t legitimately continue to live with Winnie.
So, Shikondell lowered her head in shame.
“See? You also have secrets you can’t tell me, can’t tell anyone, right? Don’t be ashamed, it’s human nature, who doesn’t have some secrets?” Winnie glanced at her.
“I don’t mean anything else, or that you must tell me your secrets, I just want to tell you, everyone has times when they have to lie to others, because it might involve their personal life and some important secrets, understand?”
“Um…” Shikondell hesitated.
She still cared about what that scent in the bathroom was, but since Winnie said so, she felt it made sense, just like she can’t tell Winnie the truth now, Winnie also can’t tell her some things.
“Then, Winnie, you don’t plan to change dorms?”
“Why should I change dorms? I’m living well here, someone cooks dinner for me every day, why should I change dorms?”
“You didn’t come back last night, I thought you hated me, so you preferred to stay out…”
“Dell, don’t think about these strange things, okay?” Winnie held his forehead.
“…So, Winnie, which colleague did you work with yesterday? Did you end up staying at her house?”
“Not really, I fell asleep on the table while working, woke up when it was already dawn.” Winnie didn’t tell the truth about this, because if he did, Mirexia’s unmentionable personal secret would be exposed.
See, he chose to lie to protect his childhood friend’s important secret, it’s unavoidable!
Winnie comforted himself guiltily in his heart.
“Then, the scent on you?”
“Maybe it got on me when she handed me the documents.” Winnie explained.
“…Um, Winnie, you’re so hardworking.” Hearing that Winnie was so tired last night that he fell asleep on the table, Shikondell’s inner discomfort and suspicion all turned into heartache and guilt.
Winnie has really put in a lot to support this burden of his, and she was actually worrying about these strange things behind his back.
Why did she have such thoughts? Even if Winnie had no commitment or special relationship with her, what right did she have to question him on this matter?
In fact, it was also because of this reason that Shikondell sat at the dining table all night, not even touching the food.
She didn’t know how to define her relationship with Winnie, clearly she had no right to care about where Winnie stayed overnight, which girl he was close to, she also knew she had no right to ask about these things, but she just couldn’t help but pay attention to these things.
In the end, she could only attribute all the mistakes to herself, thinking it was because her country was destroyed, she had to hide her identity, even her gender couldn’t be revealed, leading to the current situation.
But, after thinking about it, what if Winnie knew her real gender?
So, Shikondell fell into a new round of entanglement and confusion, time passed quickly in self-pity, and before she realized it, it was already the next afternoon, the door clicked open, and Winnie returned.
“I’m convinced, you didn’t sleep all night for such a boring question? Dell, what should I say about you? I told you, men should be generous, open-minded, how can you think about such trivial things all night? Are you a man?” Winnie poked Shikondell’s little head.
“Alright, go to sleep, it’s good that today is a holiday, if it were a normal academy day, would you remember anything in class today?”
“Um, I know.” Shikondell covered her head. “Sorry.”
“Why are you saying sorry again?” Winnie felt that if he stayed with Shikondell a little longer, he could hear the word ‘sorry’ until his ears grew calluses.
“Alright, stop saying sorry, go upstairs and sleep.” Winnie finally managed to coax Shikondell to go to sleep, then sat down to study his virtue system.
Now the virtue balance is a total of 13254 points.
Not easy.
Think about how hard Winnie worked to accumulate such a solid foundation??
For this, he didn’t hesitate to approach these jinxes from the original work, repeatedly risking his life, the mental attacks of the male body, paired with the tea-selling skills of the female body, finally succeeded in breaking the virtue value over ten thousand.
Of course, the person who deserves the most thanks is undoubtedly his lovely childhood friend Mirexia.
He thought Aesphyra would be his top contributor, but that damn purple-eyed girl, except for the first few times and the time she met Vanessa, didn’t give him any virtue after getting desensitized, and even took his virtue instead, she was simply terrible.
Besides, there are Shikondell and Milian, these two elf princesses contributed less, but better than those who contributed nothing.
Oh, and that big white fox, she can be ignored, after all, they won’t meet again, her value has been exhausted, Winnie also asked her remotely, and she expressed no objection.
The most important and key figure is undoubtedly Mirexia, the undisputed top contributor, Winnie’s newbie gift package, she gave him countless virtues, and because of her personality, the difficulty of gaining virtues is quite simple, she is simply a beacon on his pioneering road!
It can be said, if Winnie were to hold a virtue celebration banquet now, if Mirexia doesn’t speak, the other three people and a fox wouldn’t dare to move their forks.
Now, it’s the most exciting moment.
Just like earning money is for spending, earning virtues is for spending them at this moment, right??
He browsed the mall, pulled the page to the [Holy Fire Blessing] section, it costs 1500 virtues to reduce energy consumption.
Winnie didn’t hesitate to click.
With virtues, naturally, they should be spent on his invincible [Flames of Myriad Divine Blessings].
‘Virtue deducted 1500 points.’
‘Current Virtue: 11754.’
The second energy consumption reduction requires 6000 points of virtue, a full four times more.
Winnie hesitated, glanced at the [Flawless Holy Feather] on the other side, the upgrade requires 500 points.
[Flawless Holy Feather] and [Holy Fire Blessing] are different from other fancy and unknown magic, they are real talents that directly enhance Vanessa’s combat power, so they are particularly important.
So, Winnie kept upgrading [Flawless Holy Feather], as long as he could continue to click, he kept clicking.
In the end, he spent 11400 virtues, upgrading [Flawless Holy Feather] five times.
[Flawless Holy Feather]’s magic consumption was greatly reduced, and its functions increased and strengthened, from the initial low-level two wings to the current ultimate two wings, and Winnie also saw the evolution and virtue consumption required for the next upgrade.
‘[Flawless Holy Feather] next requires 15000 virtues, required realm: Master realm, after upgrade, two wings become four wings.’
So the number of wings can increase??
Winnie thought of the goddess statues placed at the entrance of the Church of Radiance, those goddess statues are all six-winged.
The successive Saintness also increased the number of wings as their strength increased.
After all, the Varelis family’s body is an angel, and the angels in mythology are determined by the number of wings to determine their strength and status.
The virtues that were hard-earned and accumulated for a long time were all spent in less than ten seconds, the balance became 354.
