‘So many?’ Niu Chang felt unreal when he saw the karma point reach thousands. ‘Hey hey, isn’t this development too fast? What about the forceful restriction put by the author to prolong the story?’
'Normally, when the main character has his first big event. Somehow his gains were cheated on by the author as to not allow the main character grow too fast.’
Niu Chang could only laugh in his heart. He really couldn’t help but think about the stories he has read in his first life and comparing them with them.
Then he asked the system to show the activity log.

‘There is a slight variation between the value of each bandit. Some of them were as high as nine hundred with the lowest at three hundred. On average they gave six hundred karma points per solved karma.’
Niu Chang couldn’t help but guess. The criterias used by the system should be related to the lives taken by the bandit and the hatred they gather through the action.
The first criteria was self-evident. If the bandit kills someone, naturally there will be karma. The only problem is how much karma acquired through killing others?
If the bandit kills a baby which has no karma except with their parents. Will it have the same karma as an adult?
Then, will the good deeds done by a person affect the value as well?
The second criteria was because karma was intertwined with everything. A small puddle could cause a carriage to fall. The act of robbing someone will cause them to change their actions which in the end also affect others around them.
After remembering the amount of karma points he has, Niu Chang returned his attention to the group of people in front of him.
The weak and harmless females suddenly turned into crazy witches.
But seeing none of them made any move, Niu Chang was perplexed. ‘It seems the mental shadow left by the bandits is too deep that affects their body.’
“If you are confused I can give you good advice.” Niu Chang's soft voice pulled the angry witches from their hesitation.
“Do you want to kill him directly or do you want to give him pain until the very end of his life?”
Niu Chang stopped. He was waiting, as a spectator naturally he must watch everything from the start to the end and as a passerby, he could give some advice but not make any action by himself.
After a moment of silence, one of the adult women opened her mouth. “Pain.”
Her voice was hoarse and could make any baby cry.
The unconcealed hatred was very clear.
“Okay, I suggest you put a blindfold on him and stuff his ears with something. With this his other senses will be enhanced thanks to the defense mechanism of the human body.”
Eyes and ears were the main sense receptors used by humans. When those senses was blocked, the main input of vision and hearing, the body will naturally increase its other sense as to de
Niu Chang didn’t know much about the human body, but he remembered some trivial facts that piqued his interest.
“After that, you can start your party. You can cut his ears piece by piece, destroy his finger one by one, skin him alive, then you can make small and shallow cuts on his genital, and lastly for the best. You can find a good wood, not too big and not too long, insert it into his anus and push it deep inside, there is no need to be too strong, once it enters the body, a slight movement is enough to stimulate the pain.”
“Also, don’t target the vital points as to keeping him alive as long as possible.”
“Put some dirt into his eyes before putting the blindfold so as to not let his eyes get wasted away.”
Niu Chang tried his best to bring out the most luxurious treatment for Yan Tan. This was a mental note that Niu Chang made not long ago. To give him a good gift.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
The female was surprised and stunned when hearing Niu Chang’s advice. Their naked body trembled slightly in fear and unknowingly their gaze avoided the kind and gentle little boy in front of them.
Then Niu Chang and the group of naked witches started to treat Yan Tan to the best day of his life.
A handful of soil was slapped down into his eyes without any gentleness in them, then he was blindfolded.
His ears were stuffed with wet soil, spitted on by the witches. His mouth was filled with dirty clothes made into a ball, preventing him from biting his own tongue off.
Niu Chang brought some iron tools that can be used as a hammer by the witches to destroy all of his fingers.
A slightly bigger wood with rough surface was placed near his ass.
Then the treatment began.
Muffled sounds were the only thing that had variation the entire time. The sound of an iron tool hammered down, knife cutting the skin and flesh, and the kicking sound made between the foot with the wood.
At first the witches were inexperienced and went all out in their services, but after the reminder of Niu Chang, they slowly savored their time.
They also regularly change their posts with each other. The most favorite post is naturally the one that deals with Yan Tan’s manhood and the one to kick the block of wood.
The pale and hopeless face of the witches slowly replaced with brimming joy as the time passed by.
Then they also began to giggle and talk to each other.
Niu Chang was watching all of this with his placid plus kind smile in silence. The service itself didn’t attract his attention too much, but the changes on the females brought him some enjoyment.
He was interested more in how humans change from ordinaryness and follow their heart content in a good way.
The good way here referred to personal preference, since Niu Chang didn’t like to watch someone who was too indulgent in their feelings. Young masters flaunting their background, king and gods with their pretentiousness and sanctimoniousness.
It didn’t take too much time until Yan Tan sublimated into the joy brought by the treatment. The endurance of a second rate martial artist was really admirable for him to last this long.
[Acquired karma point 1788]
The females realized that Yan Tan no longer gave them any response, they even tried to give a stronger kick to the wood to see if he was pretending or not.
The happy atmosphere abruptly stopped and was replaced with eerie silence.
The females with more lively complexion turn their eyes to Niu Chang. They didn’t dare to say anything, for them, this little kid was scarier than the bandits. The bandits at least only use them as a play thing but this kid treats others way too far as a play thing.
Seeing the hesitation and fear in their eyes, Niu Chang said softly. “Don’t be afraid.”
If the cowardice bandit is given a chance to say something here, he will let out a shriek saying : “RUUUUUNNNNN!”
Thankfully this noisy and cowardly one is already gone.
But the females were still afraid to speak.
“I will give you all two choices,” Niu Chang stopped in the middle of his speech to let the females set up the atmosphere. “One is to end this misery once for all and the other one is to continue to live in this world.”
This was a rare chance for Niu Chang. He already confirmed that doing good deeds didn’t give him any karma points.
Since that was the case, he was thinking how much karma points ordinary people would give him. Since he couldn’t start any aggressive action, these pitiful and fragile females in front of him were the best test subjects.
The females were shocked by the first option, but they somehow let out a sigh of relief after hearing the second option.
They looked conflicted. Part of them wanted to give up on this harsh life while the other half was afraid of death.
It was funny none of their reason was to strove for the hope of a better life, their only reason to stay alive was fear and helplessness only.
“I… I can’t live anymore.” The best looking girl among them was the first to speak. It seems her appearance was her pride, after getting played with day and night where her pride was nothing but a joke. She no longer has the intention to hold her head high.
The other four were stunned, but they were still hesitant.
Since she already gave up on her life, the girl is no longer afraid of Niu Chang. She walked two steps and asked in a low voice. “Will it hurt?”
Niu Chang looked at the girl in the eyes. His eyes became kinder, “I don’t think it will hurt. I will cut your head off in one single strike. So the pain should be less than what you have suffered day and night in this place and it is also for a very short time.”
The girl’s shoulder trembled greatly. But her eyes are still maintaining contact with Niu Chang’s. “I- I see….”
‘She has good potential. If she can overcome this difficulty and see through the falseness of this world. Maybe there will be more variables in this world.'
The other four seem to have made up their mind.
“I don’t have any family to come back to. I don’t think others will accept me either. I'm already tired, it seems being alive is more painful for me.”
“My-... my father is still waiting for me. I think I will go back.”
“....” One of them only looked at Niu Chang and shook her head.
“I will go back too.”
Two of them chose the first option and the other two chose the second option.
Niu Chang didn’t say anything and gestured to them to leave.
Looking at the other two that chose the first option. Niu Chang was judging their potential, but sadly their eyes were already murky and blinded by the curtain of fate.
“Close your eyes.” Niu Chang said softly.
The first one was the pretty girl followed by the other two after a moment of hesitation.
Thud. Thud.

Two blunt sounds echoed in the air, the heads rolled and the headless body gushed out fresh blood before finally fell down.
“Open your eyes.” Niu Chang said to the teenage girl.
With her shoulder trembling hard. She gathered her courage to open her eyes. She watched as Niu Chang didn’t change at all and looked at her with those kind eyes.
“I will give you an option to have a second life. You no longer need to care about your past, you will be reborn into a new person and pursue a great cause.”
“Are you willing?”
