Chapter 63
Luolin finally dealt with those people and returned to his room.
Luolin saw Ailuka lying on the bed, turned to the side with her back facing him, showing no reaction.
Luolin turned back to confirm the degree to which the door was closed. This was a necessary step, especially given what had just happened.
'I hope none of those people actually went to tip off that Willis, otherwise we'll have to leave through the back.'
Luolin glanced at the window below and made backup preparations.
If it weren't so late and inconvenient to change locations, Luolin would have left directly already.
'The noble Willis, I wonder just how much power nobles have in this world.'
Luolin thought that this time he had completely provoked this guy.
Not to mention the previous matter with Lin'er and Ke'er, Luolin was going to continue provoking him because he had taken an interest in Shirna.
[Although I don't know how much power he has, he definitely has money.]
'You've been talking a lot lately. Do you have a way to make money?'
[No, I only have a way to earn resentment.]
'I know it's definitely something like night raiding Ailuka or whatever. Just shut up.'
Luolin had had enough of this resentment system. He sighed and said.
Money, ah, money was a huge problem Luolin currently faced. Without money, everything was just empty talk.
Luolin didn't think that with his and Ailuka's current strength, they could forcibly snatch someone from such a large auction house, and doing so still wouldn't truly save Shirna.
It was said that if one successfully bid for Shirna at the auction, they could perform a master recognition ceremony with the slave mark. Since they had a way to recognize a master, they should also have a way to remove it.
At the very least, they could ensure that Shirna's master wouldn't be one of those disgusting people.
The money matter could be thought about tomorrow. Luolin confirmed his current status.

*The tsundere half-dragon girl is grateful to you in her heart.
....
Ailuka's card had already reached the 3-star level, but as for being grateful in her heart or whatever, Luolin couldn't feel it at all so far.
Next up are the Affection Points and Resentment Points.
[Current Affection Points: 8600]
[Debt: 100000]
No need to deliberately remind me...
[Current Resentment Points: 2700]
[If this continues, I'm going to die.]
Clearly, the Affection Points had pulled far ahead of the Resentment Points. The reason was that after the star level of affection increased, it became easier to obtain.
Resentment Points, on the other hand, were entirely determined by actions. So far, Luolin hadn't done anything that would truly hurt the girl's heart and generate massive resentment—he had only taken some liberties.
[If this continues, I'm going to die.]
"Alright, I heard you the first time. You don't need to deliberately repeat it."
Luolin said helplessly. But truly, Luolin was helpless.
"Even if you remind me, there's nothing I can do. The gap is too large now. A simple affection-building action adds several hundred points, while a resentment action of similar difficulty only gives a few dozen points. What do you expect me to do?"
Luolin was quite speechless.
[Because the host raised the affection too high!]
"Who told you not to have something like star levels yourself."
This was just like an RPG game—as the levels continued to diverge later on, the gap between them would only grow larger.
"In any case, let me check the shop first. Having money and not using it is foolish, and the same goes for points."
Now Luolin had a real enemy, and recalling the previous events, Luolin also felt that an invisible hand was pushing something from behind the scenes.
Whether it was enemies in the open or enemies hidden in the darkness, Luolin needed strength to confront them.
And when he couldn't directly increase his own strength, preparing some things was also very necessary.
Both systems let Luolin browse through the shop items. Setting aside the Affection Shop for now, Luolin still needed those points to upgrade the Card System and pay off his debt, so he temporarily didn't need to think about that side. Therefore, Luolin could only first check out the Resentment Shop.
[If you have time to look, you might as well go earn more points. Look, what a great opportunity this is right now.]
The Resentment System reminded him, and Luolin's gaze also fell on Ailuka on the bed.
Oh right, Luolin suddenly remembered that he had originally planned to earn some points tonight.
Luolin approached the bed, only to discover that Ailuka was breathing evenly, as if she had fallen asleep.
"Let's forget it for now."
Luolin said as he covered Ailuka with a blanket.
However, Luolin didn't notice that shortly after he did this, Ailuka opened her eyes. She didn't move or turn around, just remained like that for a while, then closed her eyes again and truly fell asleep.
