Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

Chapter 70 Rewards

After dealing with the young man.

Chen Feng faced the village and shouted at the guys who had been spying on him in the dark since earlier, "Where are you looking at your mother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless beams of flashlight light shone over.

The villagers exchanged glances:

"We've been discovered, what do we do?"

"Let's attack together and take him down!"

"Are you crazy! I couldn't even see his movements, and his head just exploded. If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself."

"Where's Grandma? Why isn't she here yet?"

"My mother-in-law is dealing with that woman; she'll be here soon."

Amidst the villagers' conversation, a clear and melodious drumbeat rang out: Boom! Boom! Boom!

The village chief told everyone to be quiet: "Shh, don't talk, Grandma's here."

The villagers beamed with joy: "Great! With Grandma here, he's doomed!"

Accompanied by the sound of drums, an old woman emerged from the darkness.

Her arms were very long, twice the length of an average person's. She held a lollipop in one hand and an old-fashioned toy in the other.

It's the kind of drum with a red, stick-shaped body, a mini drumhead with a little person painted on it, a red rope on each side, and a black pellet hanging from the end.

The old woman walked along, swaying and calling out, "Child, come here, come here!"

As the projectile struck the drumhead, producing a series of low thuds, Chen Feng felt his strength rapidly draining away, and his clothes becoming increasingly loose at a visible speed.

"Every time that rattle drum shakes, my age decreases by one year."

Having figured this out, Chen Feng decisively activated the S.A.W.S ...

If you hesitate, you will lose.

Chen Feng sprinted to his mother-in-law and threw several punches in one go.

The left punch deals high damage, and the right punch deals high damage.

Die, you son of a bitch!

As time resumed its flow, the candy in the old woman's hand exploded, and Chen Feng sent her flying dozens of meters away, crashing into a courtyard with a loud bang.

The villagers stared wide-eyed. Over the years, they had encountered resistance fighters before, but each time, the old woman had been able to easily torture and kill them.

And this powerful mother-in-law was completely powerless against the man in front of her?

The village chief asked incredulously, "This power... is it even human?"

But Chen Feng sighed, "Too weak, no power."

Since completing the B-level hero training program, this was the first time Chen Feng had felt so weak. If he were in a normal state, that wall-breaking combo would have turned that old man into mincemeat long ago.

At that moment, the drums sounded again.

He's not dead yet?

Chen Feng used his prosthetic body to accelerate and sprinted into the courtyard.

Beneath the shattered bricks and mud lay an empty, human-shaped crater.

The monster has disappeared.

But the drumbeats were very clear, and the sound seemed to come from near and far, proving that the old man was nearby and was constantly moving.

Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Chen Feng was momentarily unsure: "Did I become invisible? Or did I transform into a villager?"

Time is of the essence; there's no time to reason things out slowly.

Chen Feng grabbed a nearby villager and asked, "Where is that old man hiding?"

"I'm not going to tell... Ah!!!"

A pitiful and shrill scream rang out, and Chen Feng snapped off all five of the other person's fingers in an instant.

"She can change her appearance; she's hiding among us!"

The ten fingers are connected to the heart; under excruciating pain, it's hard for anyone to remain calm.

It turned out it was hiding in the crowd.

Chen Feng peered into the distance, searching for people moving among the villagers. But at the same time, all the villagers began to move spontaneously, providing cover for the monster.

Those bastards.

Chen Feng looked at the crowd and said coldly, "I'll count to three. Point out that old monster to me, or I'll kill you all."

The village chief immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! There are so many of us, he can't possibly kill us all..."

Before the word "kill them all" could be uttered, the village chief's head exploded like a balloon pierced by a needle, spraying red blood and white brain matter all over the ground.

"Who else wants to step forward?"

Chen Feng had thought that death would scare the villagers away.

But he greatly underestimated the madness of human nature.

This monster, known as Granny, has long been bound to the thousand villagers of Color Village.

"If my mother-in-law passes away, we'll have to go back to our old ways, which would be worse than death!"

"Yes! He's getting weaker and weaker. If we can just hold on, Grandma can survive!"

The villagers, wielding sticks and shovels, charged forward fearlessly.

"Avenge the village chief!"

"Kill him!"

Listening to the villagers' nonsensical ramblings, Chen Feng knew he was in trouble.

Facing a massive crowd of over a thousand people, he, who was only about ten years old at the time, found it extremely difficult to cope, not to mention that the old woman was constantly weakening his power from the shadows.

One, two, three.

As more and more villagers were killed, Chen Feng's bones continued to compress, his height decreased rapidly, and his strength became weaker and weaker.

The sneakers that had been fitting properly came off first, followed by the clothes and pants.

Before long, Chen Feng was pinned to the ground by the villagers, and at this moment he had completely transformed into the appearance of a five-year-old child.

"roll!"

What was originally a powerful statement has now been reduced to a childish voice.

Damn it, this mother-in-law's abilities are too much of a counter to my strength-based type.

Chen Feng thought to himself that if it were his previous life, he would have wiped out the mobs with a single Wind Howl spell.

"Activating Lu Xun's protection should provide immunity for one minute."

"But it's too late. In this five-year-old state, even if it doesn't shrink further, it can't fight anymore."

"Besides, there's no need to waste any points by activating the death-prevention cheat. We can wait until our next life to kill them."

Chen Feng had already prepared to reopen, but the villagers' next words chilled him to the bone.

"We won! We won!"

"Kill him!"

"Don't move! He killed my father, I can't let him die so easily." Looking at the little boy curled up in his ill-fitting clothes, the village chief's son's eyes were filled with resentment. "Give him to me to raise, I'll make him regret ever being born!"

not good!

Chen Feng suddenly realized that he had misunderstood something.

That means he won't reload the save file, but will become a baby, lose all his memories and start over. He will be raised by the villagers and instilled with the worldview of slavery. He might even recognize his enemy as his father and tell the secrets of the system to his enemy.

If Chen Feng were in his normal state, he would never make such a big mistake.

But that's what makes a "mother-in-law" so formidable.

Weakening the enemy's strength by shrinking them is only the surface-level effect; the real killer move is to deprive people of their ability to think!

"Shrinking is such an amazing ability."

While feeling emotional, Chen Feng also discovered a way to break the deadlock.

Since this monster can make me shrink, I can also make myself grow old.

You have selected Hextech Demon Contract.

You can now consume your lifespan to initiate a training program.

[Plan A requires a ten-year lifespan to activate]

The original requirement of ten points has now been replaced by consuming ten years of lifespan.

Chen Feng decisively chose to activate it. In an instant, his age increased by ten. His body, which was originally four years old, suddenly grew larger and returned to the appearance of a fourteen-year-old.

This sudden turn of events left the villagers bewildered: "What's going on?"

But that's not all.

The A-level hero program requires one year of training. You can directly consume your lifespan to complete the same amount of training.

"Train for me for ten years."

[Friendly Reminder: You only need one year of training to complete the A-level Hero Plan]

"I want to practice extra!"

As soon as Chen Feng gave the order, his body instantly returned to the age of twenty-four.

comfortable.

Crunch, crunch.

Chen Feng stretched, loosening his muscles and bones.

A body capable of exploding like a building's roof has been obtained!

And a notification came from the proficiency system: [You've been so diligent and hardworking, I really should reward you properly.]
