Chapter 881: He Gave Her Way Too Much!

But this time, Lynn didn’t give her a chance to refuse.

The little Eye Loli froze for a moment.

She seemed to be considering it, too.

Then she stared straight at him again and, hesitantly, lifted his finger in both hands.

【Ding! Your blood -1%】

【Ding! Your blood -2%】

Now that’s more like it!

Lynn’s face brightened with satisfaction. He set her on his lap with a cheerful grin (￣▽￣) and played with the long, curly tentacles growing from her head, which could be used to make teppanyaki.

If she was a monster that wanted sustenance, how could she possibly resist the temptation of blood?

Drink up! Drink up!

My poor, unloved little eyeball!

Once you’re done, just be a good girl and tell Uncle everything you know. Uncle will take good care of you from now on!

Zuo Zuo stared stiffly at the scene, already wanting to chop herself off (o(╥﹏╥)o).

How could he say something like that…

Why did she have to grow on such a depraved creature?!

Stop luring her in!

Please, could you leave even a tiny bit of conscience? You’ve nearly run out of it completely!

But it was obvious that none of this had any effect.

Lynn said solemnly, “I was going to give you only half a pound, but as you can see, Uncle gave you a third of his blood supply right off the bat. Look how good I’ve been to you. Now you should tell me everything you know, right?”

Zuo Zuo (o(╥﹏╥)o).

That wasn’t generosity.

You just got carried away and lost track of time because you were enjoying yourself!

Wah…

The little Eye Loli stared at his finger and said:

【I can only tell you one thing.】

Lynn blinked. “You’re that stingy?”

The little Eye Loli stared at him.

【Yes.】

ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ

Ah! Guess there was no helping it!

One thing it was, then. After all, he wasn’t some nasty uncle who was desperate to force people to talk. Besides, he’d have plenty of chances in the future. This time, he’d just have to accept taking a tiny loss! Who could possibly bring themselves to bully such an adorable little girl?

Lynn rubbed his chin, then held up four fingers and blinked. “Then tell Uncle what happens if I roll this number. You can recognize numbers, right? What number is this?”

The little Eye Loli stared at it for a moment, then said:

【4】

Lynn couldn’t help looking impressed.

“You’re so clever! Just as expected of my own eyeball. You can even count! Looks like that genetic material wasn’t wasted on you. Amazing!”

【Ding! Cursed Eye Affinity with you +0.5】

“Can you tell Uncle what effect this number will roll?” Lynn asked, blinking as he tried to bewitch her.

The little Eye Loli thought for a moment and said:

【If the dice show “4,” my fourth Demonization effect will activate. Once it begins, you and your target will roll against each other at random. Whoever rolls the lower number will suffer an instant-death curse, which takes effect immediately.】

“...”

Lynn’s body went rigid on the spot.

That was… possible?

An instant-death curse?!

Could it be a damn curse like the one in Quill’s Book That Kills You If You Read It…

Lynn stared at her. “Then what happens if we roll the same number? Nothing should happen, right? We’re not both going to die, are we?”

The little Eye Loli glanced at the blood on his finger and said:

【We both die.】

“...”

Lynn’s gaze stiffened.

All right.

He more or less understood now. And if his guess was right, this instant-death effect was probably the kind that had a 100% chance of working on him, but would be greatly weakened if the target was too powerful.

After all, he knew all about instant-death curses like this.

Hadn’t the God of All Machines read The Book That Kills You If You Read It last time and still survived? But if he himself got hit, there was absolutely no doubt he’d be done for.

He was absolutely certain of that!

But this wouldn’t do…

Lynn turned stiffly toward the little Eye Loli, then swished his finger back into her mouth.

The little Eye Loli’s eyes flew open.

Lynn leaned closer and said solemnly:

“Then let’s make another deal. This time, I’ll give you 50% of my blood. You can lower the odds of rolling a ‘4’ for me a little, or even if I do roll a ‘4,’ you could raise my odds of surviving by three or five hundred percent or something. That’s not a bad deal at all, is it?”

The little Eye Loli paused.

Then she immediately struggled to pull away, kicking and flailing with both hands and feet in anger.

She clearly wanted no part of it.

【Refuse… refuse bribery.】

Apparently, even she could see at a glance how vile Lynn’s intentions were.

But there was no way Lynn was going to let her pull free so easily. With exasperating force, he held the back of her head in place and pushed his finger farther in.

“It’s fine… Don’t be so stubborn… And it’s not like I’m bribing you… You can just think of it as a gift from Uncle… One taste of this is worth doing one or two more jobs…”

The little Eye Loli struggled to get away, looking angry.

【Fair… incorruptible… I won’t accept a blood-for-power deal.】

“It’s not a blood-for-power deal… Just make a tiny adjustment… You have to learn to be flexible… My blood is really fresh!”

“No… I won’t take it.”

Damn it!

At this point, there was no other choice! Looks like he’d have to use Flesh Calamity to open the floodgates and bleed himself! For his own safety, he had to get her on board!

In an instant, Lynn connected himself directly to his own main artery.

Open the floodgates! Let the blood flow!

The wound on the severed fingertip in her mouth immediately began gushing blood like it was free.

The little Eye Loli, who was resisting with all her might, shuddered almost at once. Her pupils widened, and muffled sounds kept coming from her mouth.

At first, she was still struggling and resisting.

Lynn went all out. The little Eye Loli could only weakly resist and struggle for a while, but her movements grew slower and slower. Her eyes gradually became hazy and unfocused, and she stopped fighting back, slowly falling quiet.

Then, at last, she seemed completely corrupted.

Both hands began to actively clutch Lynn’s finger. She closed her eyes with a pitiful whimper and quietly suckled on it (the blood).

【Ding! Your blood -5%】

Half a minute later.

At last, she had drunk about as much as she possibly could.

She let out a hollow burp, clearly grieving that she hadn’t held firm to her principles.

Burp!

But she couldn’t help it. She really had tried her best to resist.

But it was so fresh…

He gave her way too much…

【Ding! You triggered the special achievement: Corrupting the Eye Loli. Congratulations, you have gained 200 base experience points.】

【Corrupting the Eye Loli】Special Achievement. Just as the name suggests, the host successfully corrupted Cursed Eye’s fairness and incorruptibility through forceful bribery and a series of other methods, causing her to struggle psychologically over her involvement in blood-for-power deals… This shows that there’s a reason the host is going to hell. Congratulations, you have gained permanent bonuses: All Attributes +2, Chaotic Evil +1, Corrupt Officials’ Affinity +10.

【Ding! You have fed the little Eye Loli until she’s full.】

Lynn stared at the little Eye Loli, sitting hollow-eyed on his lap and burping. He kindly reached out and patted her on the back.

The little Eye Loli suddenly retched something up from her little mouth.

“How are you? Feeling better?” Lynn asked, staring at her.

The little Eye Loli struggled to climb, bracing one hand against Lynn’s chest as she panted weakly and quietly toward the ground beside them.

She was about to overflow.

Without saying a word, she could only struggle to climb up Lynn’s chest, hollow-eyed and exerting herself with all her might. One tentacle after another stretched upward. Her belly was swollen, and her little hands clutched Lynn’s face as she tried her hardest to climb into his eye socket.

Because she’d accepted such a huge bribe…

She didn’t even know what to do anymore…

Lynn could only support her and help her up a little. He poked her gently and reminded her, “Be sure to remember this when you go back. Next time you roll the dice, take it a little easy and adjust the odds appropriately. If we work well together, Uncle will reward you even more the next time you come out. Got it?”
