Chapter 176 The Beginning of the Nightmare

Seemingly sensing Li Hao's hesitation, Dao Chaituo spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and flesh. "Let me tell you, the Solar System is ours, the orcs are determined to have it. With your strength, why not join us? With our support, you can become the emperor of mankind, getting whatever you want. With the backing of the orcs, other civilizations won't dare to provoke you!"

Li Hao glanced at Dao Chaituo and almost laughed. He didn't expect this guy to have a little bit of military strategy. He also knew that he wouldn't dare to kill him. A star sergeant is not just anyone, nor is it the situation of the orc he encountered during the test. Those situations don't matter. Killing a sergeant in the Saint's Choir Conquest Center is definitely troublesome. According to the rules, he is a newcomer and hasn't fully understood them.

"You are a smart person and probably understand the situation of the Saint's Choir. The order of the galaxy is prepared for advanced civilizations..." Dao Chaituo didn't want to be crippled, let alone die. Living is useful. The human in front of him is unbelievably strong, but his weakness comes from a low-level civilization. Just based on this, as long as he can calm the other party down, it will create enough pressure for him to have a chance.

"Shh~~~, Dao Chaituo, you know what? I just like your unruly look. You must persevere, otherwise, I will lose a lot of fun." Li Hao said with a smile, "Look into my eyes."

In an instant, blood-red pupils released black vortexes, and the vortexes continued to expand, instantly enveloping Dao Chaituo.

At this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Li Hao's mouth as he looked at Dao Chaituo lying on the ground. He hoped that he could last a little longer. This orc, even if not a top expert, is considered an elite. Such orcs are still useful.

And in Dao Chaituo's vision, "Li Hao" squatted down and gently patted the orc's face. "Be good, it'll hurt a little, but don't scream."

As he spoke, he tore off the orc's Celestial Armament piece by piece, skin and flesh together. In that instant, Dao Chaituo felt his soul was about to split apart, but with his strong will, he still endured it. He still wanted to threaten, but looking at the other person's face, he instinctively realized that his threats and wails would only be entertainment for the person in front of him.

Then "Li Hao" tore off the other party's Celestial Armament piece by piece with great interest, just like tearing open pieces of paper. Dao Chaituo was also fierce, and he didn't say a word. Li Hao was very satisfied, and then he slowly crushed the orc's limbs one by one. "Orcs have committed heinous crimes in the human world, and the entire orc race needs to pay for it. Let's collect some interest first."

Not to mention a sergeant, once life enters the sergeant level, its resilience becomes particularly strong, and it will not die easily. The soul of a sergeant will not easily dissipate either. This is also why advanced civilizations hate Void creatures so much because Void creatures devour this pure energy of souls, making many of the nobles' survival methods unusable. Coming down hard, Dao Chaituo's mind was still very clear, but if this continued, he would really not be able to live.

However, Li Hao's hands released a warm light, gradually healing Dao Chaituo. At this moment, Dao Chaituo was truly dumbfounded. Looking at the gradually recovering body, Dao Chaituo couldn't believe it. Such healing ability is not even possessed by the Sea People or the Ghost People. It can actually increase the orcs' already terrifying self-healing ability a hundredfold. This human...

The next moment, screams filled the boundary stone. It's okay if it's just constant pain, but what about healing and then crushing again?

Dao Chaituo's will was strong, but he still broke down. "Look, I still like your tough look just now. Don't scream, be good. There are a total of a hundred sets of procedures, and this is just the beginning."

In Dao Chaituo's eyes, Li Hao had become a demon, but this was only the beginning.

In reality, it was only about twenty minutes, and he only came about a dozen times, but Dao Chaituo collapsed. But this was not enough. He needed an orc nail that would never dare to resist. If it still hurts, it's not enough. He must make him understand that disobedience will be ten thousand times more painful than death.

If he wants to deal with the Orc Empire, coming at them head-on is definitely a bad move. Currently, the Solar System is far from being ready. It has internal and external troubles and needs to develop. He can lay the groundwork first.

Li Hao looked at the time, and there was still time. It should be enough. He didn't want to extend it.

How should I put it? During the Apocalypse, Romero and the others thought he was ruthless. When they gathered together, now that their relationship is good, Romero and the others are also desperately complaining. Little did they know, Li Hao didn't really go all out, after all, they are his own people.

This move is called "Reincarnation Dream." If used more ruthlessly, it can create the living dead. Of course, he needs a Dao Chaituo with combat power. He really can't cripple him, so in the nightmare, when Dao Chaituo completely surrendered, Li Hao gave him a chance to live.

Of course, in essence, Li Hao hoped that Dao Chaituo could betray him once, so that he could find the weaknesses of his skills and gain experience, but looking at the orc's appearance, it probably won't happen.

The duel ended, and Li Hao directly advanced to sergeant. The high-quality meritorious service supply from the sergeant definitely allowed Li Hao to advance directly. Dao Chaituo was a bit miserable. He directly dropped 8 levels and fell directly out of the Vermilion Bird Ladder list. For their level, let alone 8 levels, dropping one level is a major event. This kind of direct drop out of the ladder cannot be described by the word "miserable."

Of course, Li Hao didn't want to cripple him. He also made some small modifications to Dao Chaituo's body. It has to be said that the orc's own tenacious vitality is quite outstanding. If the insect people are first, the orcs can be ranked second. After becoming a sergeant, Li Hao did not leave immediately but found the mechanical race Kasika and renewed two hours of the sergeant-exclusive battlefield. Kasika's eyes lit up when he saw Li Hao, "Are you okay, Mr. Li Hao?"

Li Hao smiled, "I'm fine. We just had a friendly exchange. That Dao Chaituo accidentally broke his leg. Please call a doctor for me. It's just a minor injury, so don't worry too much."

Kasika was stunned for a while. He felt that his IQ had been insulted to some extent, but the characteristic of the mechanical race is that they don't argue about anything. They just need to do their job within the rules.

"Okay, Mr. Li Hao. You have been promoted to sergeant. Congratulations. It seems that you won the duel..."

"Shh... we can't be too high-profile. I'm just a mere sergeant. You can hit several sergeants by throwing a stone in the Judgment Saint's Choir, but I will work hard. Um... can sergeants get a discount?" Li Hao asked casually.

"I'm sorry, Sergeant Li Hao. The Saint's Choir Center doesn't have this rule, but in view of your maintenance of me today, I can personally give you a 10% discount. Is that okay?" The mechanical race is not a robot. They are not without emotions, but their emotional management is very logical.

Li Hao excitedly grabbed Kasika's hands, "Kasika, you're a good friend. Thank you. I said that I have a connection with the mechanical race. The first alien friend I met in Ten Thousand Stars City was a mechanical race. When I came to the Judgment Saint's Choir, I met another one!"

The mechanical race was a little dazed and not used to this kind of human contact. He broke free, "You are too strange. Why would a sergeant make friends with a mechanical race? Just for this discount?"

The bottom layer of the mechanical race is engineers, who perform various production, maintenance, and management tasks, effectively and basically without errors, and are deeply loved by major civilizations. Further up, there are more advanced engineers, which are different. Most engineers have skills in certain special directions, so other civilizations like to use the mechanical race, but they don't treat them as the same kind.

Li Hao shook his head violently, "Kasika, I'm going to be angry if you say that. We Earthlings like to make friends the most. We have a saying in our local area: rely on parents at home and friends when you go out. Oh, parents are the people who gave us life. You can check it yourself. Hospitality is human nature. Of course, not everyone is our friend. It also depends on fate. I liked you at first sight. This is a fate that spans hundreds of millions of light-years!"

Kasika nodded, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Then we will be friends from now on."

The mechanical race was also very happy. He had been here for a long time, but everyone treated him as an iron lump that provided services, and scolding was commonplace. He had been here watching all kinds of lives, from ordinary galaxy warriors to sergeants and even star sergeants, only the human in front of him greeted him every time he came, even though he always wanted a discount.

Li Hao smiled happily, "Come, let's exchange Star IDs. How can friends not have a number?"

The mechanical race was stunned, "My Star ID is under repair. Leave your number with me."

Scanning Li Hao's Star ID mark, Li Hao waved his hand and rushed into the conquest room. He finally became a sergeant. He wanted to see if the system was still targeting him.

Sergeant promotion to sergeant requires 999 levels. With the improvement of technology, the meritorious service used for upgrading is also increasing exponentially. Damn it, at this rate, how will I be able to complete it? How did those damned people get promoted? Sirian reached level 69 in just over a year. Did he take a space-time shuttle???

It can only be said that he was not killed by him, nor was he played to death by Nangong Yuhang's possession. Sirian also had some luck. He only said half of it last time. If he doesn't count as possession now, then what is it?

Li Hao doesn't dwell on it. Compared to being hostile, he would rather cooperate with Sirian. Sirian definitely has great resources, but he can't come up with anything to trade with him right now.

At the sergeant level, the level of rooms used is obviously much better. The conquest room is twice as spacious, and there are free meals, but the price is also a bit higher. This is a bit bad. Although he got a 10% discount, it is still a bit expensive. If it wasn't for the friend he just made, he would have cancelled it and used the original one again.

There's no way. This is a good habit of thrift that Li Hao developed in the orphanage since he was a child. After so many years, he is too lazy to change it.
