Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!



Tyler did not directly tell Heloise that the "Earthly Ghost" was a member of the evilkind, a villain. 

Following the same strategy as before, Tyler pretended to be ignorant of the true identity of the "Earthly Ghost", using the guise of a "friend" to broach the topic of Heloise's conversations with the "Earthly Ghost".

"Heloise, the reason the Benevolent Deity 'imparted the knowledge' of the 'Earthly Ghost and the Shadow Serpent Society' to me is with the intention of saving the 'Earthly Ghost', who has lost his way and knows not how to return. "

"The 'Earthly Ghost' not only mistakenly believes that I am a demon, but he also has many other good people's identities wrong. If this continues, his karmic imprint will become too heavy to purify." 

Using his "Deceiver" skill in conjunction with his mind-reading ability, Tyler's charlatan performance had Heloise completely fooled.

To Heloise, it was utterly bewildering that Felix, who was clearly not a member of the Shadow Serpent Society and had never met Lord Earthly Ghost, knew all about this. 

The only plausible explanation was a divine revelation from the Benevolent Deity.

"So, the next time the 'Earthly Ghost' comes to find you, let me speak with him for a bit. This is crucial for the salvation of a misguided soul who can still be saved." 

After seeing that the time was ripe, Tyler revealed the real purpose of their conversation, and Heloise, without any suspicion, readily agreed.

"I understand. When 'Lord Earthly Ghost' comes to find me, I will definitely let you know!" 

With this, the second step of Tyler's plan to turn Heloise against the Earthly Ghost was officially complete.

Next up was a direct confrontation with the Earthly Ghost.

.

That night, after countless failed attempts, Tyler finally managed to concoct three bottles of intermediate antidotes and five bottles of primary purification potions (Pharmacist Experience: 300+210↑/600). 

However, by the time he succeeded, Heloise had already fallen into deep sleep, so the experiment to test the effects of the new potions had to be postponed until the next day.

(If everything goes smoothly, perhaps we can delay the infection for another day or two...)

(Heloise, you must hang in there...) 

With Heloise asleep, Tyler allowed his worried expression to surface.

The situation had improved significantly compared to two days ago.

The number of things that could give him hope was gradually increasing, such as the investigation by Branch Chief Pamela, the arrival of Vanessa in Delis Town soon, and the potential opportunity to directly interact with the Earthly Ghost, etc. 

All of these could possibly become methods to save Heloise.

Whether or not he could surpass his "future self," Tyler didn't know. 

But one thing he was certain of was that he was now walking a different path from his "future self".

Tyler picked up Heloise, who was sleeping on the floor, put her on the bed, and then lay down on the quilt on the floor to sleep.

The next morning, the alarm clock ft. idiot loli woke Tyler as usual. 

No matter how difficult the situation, Tyler's daily routine of honing his skills never changed. This was his unique shortcut to surpassing others in this Prison Star world.

Since leaving Sunny Town six days ago, Tyler's skill growth has not fallen behind a single day.

"Heart of Focus" has been upgraded from level 10 to level 12;

"Calculation Boost" has been upgraded from level 11 to level 13;

"Deceiver" has been upgraded from level 16 to level 18;

"Shadow Behind" has been upgraded from level 2 to level 11;

This totals a gain of 20 points in Strength, 200 points in Dexterity, and 46 points in Intelligence.

The improvement of attributes is indeed something to be happy about, but the enhancement of the effects after skills are upgraded is the real main event, especially for the second-tier skill "Shadow Behind" which has been upgraded to level 11. 

After being upgraded to level 11, the range of "Shadow Behind" for creating shadows has been increased from 10 meters to 15 meters, and the existence time of the shadow duplicate has been increased from 6 seconds to 15 seconds, greatly enhancing its strength.

But when compared with the new entry, these improvements seem pale and insignificant.

The new entry for "Shadow Behind" is called "Fake Shadow". 

It allows the designated shadow duplicate to use the skills on the equipment by consuming an additional 100 points of magic power, but the magic power consumed to use the skills will be provided by Tyler himself.

At first glance, this new entry seemed somewhat superfluous, since it required Tyler to consume his own magic power. 

However, after briefly contemplating the possible applications, Tyler realized that this new entry was far from simple.

One could even say that with the addition of "Shadow Behind - Fake Shadow", Tyler's power had ascended a new level. 

It was a pity that Tyler hadn't had a chance to showcase this recently. The priority was to find a way to save Heloise.

.

After Tyler finished honing his skills, concocting potions (Pharmacist Experience: 510+300↑/600; Level 2+1; Intelligence 595+1↑), and preparing breakfast, Heloise finally woke up to the aroma of milk. 

Despite Delis Town's backwardness, its dairy industry was rather developed. Locals could enjoy fresh milk for a mere five copper coins.

Smelling the rich aroma of milk, Heloise poked her head out from her blanket. She had a habit of covering her head while sleeping. 

Seeing Felix sitting at the table eating breakfast, Heloise scratched her head, then suddenly remembered that she had slept on the floor last night! 

How did she end up on the bed? Could it be...?!

Heloise lifted the blanket with a "whoosh" and immediately opened her shirt to check her belly! 

Luckily, her belly was still flat, even a bit sunken due to hunger, and not bulging like a pregnant woman's.

"You sleepwalked onto my bed last night, so I gave you the bed." 

Felix provided a timely explanation and beckoned for Heloise to join him for breakfast.

But Heloise got a bit emotional. She was both happy and angry, feeling like she was having a split personality. 

Heloise was happy because Felix was quite gentle with her, not literally making her sleep on the floor all night. But she was angry because she had even crawled into his bed (though unconsciously), but this guy remained unmoved!

— (Darn it... am I really so unattractive?!) 

— (I get it... Felix must like the busty type,uhhhhhh!)

Angry as she was, she still needed to eat breakfast. 

Heloise comforted herself that she was still young and had room to grow. Then she sat down at the table with a huff.

Even the hard black bread tasted good with the hot and fragrant milk. Heloise was so excited that she accidentally spilled some of her milk onto Felix.

"Oh no! My milk!" 

Heloise was distressed. She had spilled almost half a cup, and there was no more milk on the table!

Seeing Felix reaching for a cloth to clean up, Heloise subconsciously stopped him. In doing so, she lost her balance and accidentally pushed Felix onto the floor. 

"Hey, Helo...", Felix was about to push Heloise off him and get up, but he was suppressed by an outraged Heloise.

For the first time, Heloise made eye contact with Felix from such a "dominant position," causing a subtle shift in her mindset. 

"The milk... can't be wasted!" 

Heloise pinned Felix down and began to lick the spilled milk off him bit by bit.
