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

Priscilla Nissen, a moniker she had not employed in a significant amount of time.

Notwithstanding the constant mocking from Tyler, nicknaming her 'Silly Nissen' or 'stupid loli', Priscilla Nissen was not the type to falter in critical moments... or so one would hope.

The previous evening, within the subterranean caverns of Ira Forest, Priscilla Nissen bore witness to the entire process of Tyler's clandestine plot and execution of the Crimson Cloud Bandits. Today, she observed him, swift and decisive, as he slaughtered a wild boar. Discarding notions of justice or self-defense, Tyler's capability to act under pressure was uncharacteristically resolute for an eighteen-year-old high school student.

In Priscilla Nissen's perception, most high school students in the Earth World wouldn't even know where to start if tasked with killing a dog, let alone a person, some wouldn't even be able to overpower a goose. Contrarily, each of Tyler's actions carried a sense of veteran savvy, sparking a suspicion in Priscilla Nissen.

(Could it be that Tyler has taken lives in his original world?)

(However, if he was a Deathbound of the lawful evil, neutral evil, or chaotic evil alignment, he would not have been assigned to the side of the Benevolent Deity.)

(What exactly transpired in Tyler's past life?)

Priscilla Nissen found herself wanting to delve deeper into Tyler's past.

"My, my, I did not expect to bag two wild boars today! However, this poses a bit of a problem; we can't possibly lug them back in one trip."

With the sight of the two wild boars sprawled on the ground, village chief Woodall was both delighted and perplexed. Tyler remained silent on the side, as he had his own exclusive gain to 'confirm and sign off' in his mind.

After Tyler single-handedly slew the boar, new textual prompts appeared in his view.

—"Successfully killed 'ordinary wild animal', Production Occupation 'Hunter' assigned according to killing method."

—"Successfully killed 'wild boar', occupational experience +100, current experience 100/400."

The Production Occupation "Hunter" was obtained more easily than Tyler had anticipated, with the clear triggering condition of "single-handedly hunting wild animals." However, leveling up probably wasn't as simple as it seemed in the text. Otherwise, considering the experience from the wild boar, Tyler could reach level 2 like the village chief by hunting three more boars.

Upon acquiring the Production Occupation "Hunter", not only did Tyler's maximum "Endurance" increase by 1 point, but he also gained the corresponding skill "Heart of Focus." The skills of the Production Occupation were distinguished from those of the Combat Occupation and did not occupy the skill slots of the Combat Occupation. The details of "Heart of Focus" were as follows:

=====

Skill: Heart of Focus - Lv1

Proficiency: 0/100

Skill Description:

During activation, it enhances the probability of any attack hitting its mark. During a hit determination, it adds a +1 positive correction. Each second of activation consumes 5 points of Magic Energy, and anything less than a second is counted as one.

Each second of use increases Proficiency by 1 point.

=====

The function of "Heart of Focus" bears resemblance to that of the "Deceiver", but at least it proves useful in battle, being applicable in both close and long-range combat. Another point of concern for Tyler is the appearance of the word "determination" in the description of "Heart of Focus". Could it be that when he is engaged in various activities, there is a set of determination mechanisms silently operating?

The truth of this world seems to be concealed within these lines of skill descriptions.

Nearly an hour later, the village chief brought a wooden cart from the village. While waiting for the village chief, Tyler used the hunting bow left by the chief, in combination with the "Heart of Focus" skill, to shoot two large-tailed hamsters.

—— "Successfully killed 'Large-Tailed Hamster', occupation experience +20, current experience 120/400"

When he hit the first hamster, Tyler saw the text prompt, but there was no prompt when he killed the second one, and the experience value did not change.

Although the evidence is not sufficient, Tyler can make a bold guess. He believes that repeatedly killing the same species is likely not to increase experience. To upgrade the "Hunter" level, one must constantly hunt different animals. According to this conjecture, it makes sense that the village chief's hunter level has only been at level two for more than 20 years.

In addition, when aiming just now, Tyler had turned on the "Heart of Focus" for a total of six seconds, consuming a total of 30 points of Magic Energy. However, by the time the village chief arrived, Tyler's Magic Energy had not recovered at all.

On the way back to the village, Tyler subtly asked the village chief about Magic Energy. Regrettably, the chief did not understand at all. People living in such small places have limited knowledge. Without the ability to identify, they don't even know whether they have Magic Energy or how much they have, let alone how to recover it.

Today is Tyler's third day in the "Parallel World No. 77: Prison Star". He can basically confirm that the "Divine Eye of Transcendence"'s "Identification" ability is likely unique in this world. The people of this world probably cannot quantify everything they see like he can. This is like in the Earth World, where the amount of a person's life energy and physical energy cannot be quantified. Everyone can only judge based on their own feelings and experience.

Only in games can everything be quantified, and characters and monsters have health bars. So, is the "Parallel World No. 77: Prison Star" just a game, or, from the perspective of the "deity" in that gray space, are all worlds, including the Earth World, just games that can be digitized?

Upon the journey back to Ira Village, Tyler gleaned insights into the technological level of the Prison Star world through his conversation with the village chief. To summarize, the world was steeped in an era where magic had supplanted technology, an epoch of swords and sorcery.

"By the way, Chief, have you ever taken stock of the different types of animals you've hunted?" Tyler inquired.

"Let me think... hyenas, wolves, deer, pheasants, boars... roughly about twenty types, I suppose."

Twenty species of animals - that was the achievement of the current "Hunter - Lv2" village chief. By comparing the experience from boars and long-tailed hamsters, Tyler deduced that more dangerous animals offered more experience. Given the species in the vicinity of Ira Village, he speculated that reaching level three was likely the limit. Ira Village was not a place for him to stay for long.

Upon arriving at the village, the amiable village chief took over the dirty task of dealing with the two boars. He told Tyler to approach him anytime if he needed meat. Furthermore, the chief kindly prepared the two long-tailed hamsters for Tyler, displaying a skillful dissection technique that was entirely foreign to Tyler.

With the fresh hamster meat, Tyler headed straight to Avril's home. En route, as he was passing the orchard, he heard a ruckus inside, which seemed to involve Avril's voice.

"Aaaahhhh--!!!"

Suddenly, two middle-aged men ran out of the orchard in terror. They dashed past Tyler as if he were invisible and continued their flight without a backward glance, as though they had seen a ghost.

Tyler recognized the two men as Daed and Beeken from the village. Watching their retreating figures, Tyler furrowed his eyebrows... Their emotional states seemed excessively abnormal.

— (Ahhh! She's still alive!!)

— (She's coming to kill us!!!)
