Because he wanted to complete the digestive process as soon as possible, he would have to take in a large amount of food within a short period of time.
If he waited for Cho'Gath's ultimate skill (ULT) –[Feast] to be selected, he would always be starving.
As he thought about it, Li Rui felt pain along with a sense of happiness.
It was definitely a pleasure to be able to eat without worrying but his wallet could no longer afford it!
He had to build Runneterra as soon as possible so that he could pass on Yuumi to Little Wei.
Without more accessories on him, he would have more guts!
Li Rui had a headache as he remembered that the temporary runes altar would have to be built with heavy metal.
Even if he got Brother Lei to help him purchase it at the cost price, it would still cost more than 20 million. This did not even include the amount needed to start the project.
The entire altar would need at least 50 to 60 million. With the rate that Li Rui was catching these criminals, he would at least need one to two years to save up enough money.
The temporary altar itself was already so troublesome, then what about Runeterra after that?
Li Rui scratched his head as he felt his scalp becoming numb.
'Forget it. I'll think about these in the future. The most important thing now is to get 100 contribution points so that I can get [The Eternal Indestructible Tribulation] as soon as possible!'
'With Luo Li's help, I will be able to complete the daily mission and I don't have to clean up only one piece of garbage every night.'
If he worked overtime, he could get at least 2 or even 3, which meant that he would be able to get the remaining 76 contribution points within a few days!
As he ran the plan through his head, he got even more excited.
However, this excitement of his also meant that it was doomsday for the evil, crooked people who lived in the darkness of ShangHai City.
Within a week's time, with the help of Wang Lei's intelligence network, he was harvesting lives relentlessly.
He only aimed for those bastards who had committed crimes that were unforgivable. Once he confirmed their identity, he was merciless with them.
However, there was no absolute secret in this world.
Soon, the police force knew that there was a bounty hunter named Garen who was harvesting these criminals like a mad person.
He even became a legend in the underground world!
But Li Rui's target were just mortals. Therefore, his name was still not as well known in the Transcendent's World.
"Holy sh*t, I finally have enough!"
As he saw the last 5 contribution points that were newly added into his account, Li Rui let out a long breath and had a satisfied smile.
This week's hard work was finally complete.
He took out his phone and immediately called Wang Lei.
"Brother Lei, I have already accumulated 100 contribution points!"
"Yes, I know. Come over here. There's something I need to ask you."
Wang Lei's voice sounded heavy, which made Li Rui nervous.
Perhaps something went wrong with the cultivation techniques?
Li Rui heavy heartedly took a cab and went to the address that Wang Lei sent him. Then, he realised that for this period of time, he was either cleaning up the garbage or was on the way to clean the garbage.
He hadn't even added the points together ever since he went up to level 4!
[Li Rui]
Race: Human
Energy Level: None (Spiritual Awakening)
Level: 4
EXP: 263/270
HP: 136/136 [Undigested Health Points 101]
MP: 19/19
AR: 15
MR: 17
AD: 11
AP: 10
Gold Coins: 225
Every garbage that he cleared would give him a certain amount of contribution points, EXP and gold coins. Not just that, with the help of [Grasp of the Undying], he would get an additional extra life. Compared to his HP last week, there was a drastic increase in the numbers. The double resistance had been completely digested and his candidness had been significantly improved.
After testing it out, he realised that the defensive ability of the double resistance was not as simple as how it was in the game, where there was only a pure reduction in the percentage. It now had a complicated calculation that followed the principles of reality.
The injury sustained by a punch to his temples and a punch to his arm was very different!
There was a reduction in the percentage as well as a reduction in the real value.
But the actual principle of reality was so complicated that he was unable to calculate it with his current maths skills.
But he couldn't tell anyone about the system, so in the end, he gave up looking for an answer!
Skills… Items…
Li Rui paused for a while between these two choices, but in the end, he firmly decided on upgrading his runes.
The dozens of criminals captured had given him about a hundred gold coins and soon he would have enough gold coins to solve the problem.
As he almost reached the bottom of the Resolve Runes, he was looking around to see if he could find something interesting.
Clang~
A mysterious emerald green rune opened in front of his eyes and there was an abstruse energy that flowed through his body.
Without any hesitation, he turned towards the first rune on the fourth roll.
[Overgrowth] (Level 1)
(Passive) Every time there is a hero, wild creature or minion who has died around you, you can collect the remaining life energy from them and turn it into your own health points. (As you get to a higher level, the area and strength at which you can collect from increases.)
This was a powerful passive skill. As the life that Li Rui harvested increased, his blood volume would grow limitless as well.
He took a last look at the EXP that he needed to get at the next level and then slowly closed his eyes.
About half an hour later, a car arrived at the location that Wang Lei had sent him. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a big figure standing in front of the building.
"Brother Lei, how come you're here to get me personally?"
Li Rui smiled as he greeted him.
"I'm not sure if you can find the way without me being here."
Wang Lei took a good look at him from top to bottom, which made his hair stand on its ends.
"Brother Lei, what's wrong?"
"I was just worried that you might have lost your balance and become swallowed by the dark side of the world."
Li Rui was stunned for a moment but immediately understood what he meant.
Look at the type of people that he had been around for this period of time!
Absolute scumbags that were the combination of all the ugly beasts of this world.
While fighting these creatures, he had to make sure that he didn't get influenced. When you have set your eyes on the abyss, the abyss has also laid its eyes on you!
Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy could still shine light on the human mind even if it was a different world now.
He couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
Luckily the soul that was inside of him was not as young as his outer appearance.
A mature soul, firm values, and opinions, along with a mindset that was a stable as a mountain, helped him resist against the erosion of the dark side.
If it were any other normal high schoolers, they may not be as mature, and with the sudden exposure to the negative emotions, they would most likely be eroded.
Those who were a little better would become really extreme and would only see the dark side of the world.
This was how the villains in movies who wanted to destroy the world came about.
He let out a breath, he closed his eyes and ran through the thoughts in his head. He was silent for a very long time.
Wang Lei did not rush him and stood aside quietly while waiting for him.
After a while, Li Rui finally opened his eyes which were filled with purity.
"Don't worry, Brother Lei. I wasn't influenced."
Upon seeing Li Rui's smile, Wang Lei was finally relieved.
"I gave you the authority to my intelligence network because I wanted to show you how cruel the world can be, but I didn't think that you would be so violent! If you were influenced by the dark, I would rather you live thinking that the world was all butterflies and rainbows!"
