Chapter 5

"The Demon's Eye is an extremely powerful magical artifact. I can't be sure whether it formed naturally or was created by the Great Demon Lord," Bubble whispered.

"But I can assure you, Young Master, if you can make good use of this magical artifact, one day you will surely become as powerful a demon as the Great Demon Lord," she continued, waving her little fist with great excitement.

Lu Chong smiled silently. In his heart, he had no desire to become a demon. If he could become a sufficiently powerful human, that would be the best.

Seeing that Lu Chong seemed somewhat indifferent, Bubble tilted her head and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Young Master? Don't you want to become the most powerful demon?"

"Of course I want to become powerful," Lu Chong replied. "But I don't know the specific functions of the Demon's Eye yet. I can't just imagine things."

In fact, Lu Chong was still in a daze about everything that had happened over the past two days. It all seemed too sudden and unreal.

Bubble nodded gently, holding a small steel fork in her right hand and swinging it slightly as she continued, "The Demon's Eye is a pair, with a left eye and a right eye, each having its own magical functions. Let's start with the left eye... The left eye has two functions. The first is the True Sight, which allows you to see the good and evil in people's hearts, the black and white of their souls, and many things that ordinary people cannot see."

Lu Chong closed his right eye and opened only his left eye to look around. "But I don't feel anything different. The things I see are the same as before, except my vision has improved."

In his mind, he added: It can't even see through your skirt...

Bubble, of course, didn't know about Lu Chong's thoughts and continued explaining, "That's because the True Sight function hasn't been activated yet. The Demon's Eye is still in an unactivated state."

"Does it need to be activated?" Lu Chong laughed. "It sounds like a newly registered member account."

"The Demon's Eye originally belonged to the Great Demon Lord. Now that it has a new owner, it definitely needs a process of re-recognition," Bubble explained seriously.

"Alright, then how do I activate it?" Lu Chong asked.

"Let's talk about that later. Several functions can be activated simultaneously," Bubble said. "The second function of the Demon's Left Eye is a Soul Devouring Space. It can capture a living being that you have subdued and has no resistance, and devour its soul and life energy. Moreover, its body can naturally dissipate in the Soul Devouring Space, saving you the trouble of disposing of the body."

The fact that such a cute little girl could talk about devouring souls and disposing of bodies with such a natural expression made Lu Chong feel a bit uncomfortable. However, the pair of demon horns on her head, the forked tail under her skirt, and the small steel fork in her hand constantly reminded him that she was not a kind little creature but a genuine little demon, a little devil.

Thinking about this, Lu Chong nodded and replied, "Being able to dispose of bodies on your own is indeed a great convenience. You know, our world is a society governed by law. Once a murderer is caught, they are certain to die. So, even if I have to kill some bad people, I can't leave any traces."

Bubble nodded and continued, "Now, let's talk about the two major functions of the Demon's Right Eye: one is to strengthen the body, and the other is to extract skills."

"When a person is devoured in the Soul Devouring Space, their soul is offered to the Great Demon Lord through the Demon's Eye, and their life energy can be used to strengthen your physical attributes. For example, strengthening your bones and muscles can greatly increase your strength; strengthening your nerve reactions, balance, and coordination can enhance your agility, or the flexibility of your body; strengthening your brain can improve your intelligence; and strengthening your cell vitality and metabolism can enhance your immune system and self-healing ability. These are the functions of the Demon's Right Eye to strengthen the body."

"The function to extract skills is the most powerful function of the Demon's Eye. Through it, you can become an all-around genius capable of anything. Whether it's artistic skills like music, painting, and sculpture; combat skills like hand-to-hand combat, gun handling, and swordsmanship; or life skills like cooking, sewing, and makeup, you can bypass the long and arduous learning process and quickly master them, just as if you had honed them through years of practice."

Hearing about the powerful function of extracting skills, Lu Chong's eyes lit up with interest, and he asked eagerly, "Can I learn any skill?"

"Yep," Bubble nodded vigorously. "I won't lie to you, if you're willing to believe the words of a demon."

"Alright."

Lu Chong waved his hand. "I believe you. You don't need to add that phrase at the end to trick me. I know that as the spirit of the Demon's Eye, Bubble, you won't lie to me, right?"

"Of course not, if you're willing to believe the words of a demon."

Bubble's big eyes blinked, as if trying to hide the cunning and mischief in them... but in reality, her eyes clearly expressed: Not necessarily.

Unfortunately, Lu Chong was only an eighteen-year-old young man with limited life experience. He couldn't read someone's mind through their eyes. At that moment, he was just full of curiosity and asked, "Bubble, tell me quickly, how can I get the skills you mentioned and become an all-around genius?"

"This is a bit complicated and not easy," Bubble said slowly. "To put it simply, there are two ways to acquire skills. One is to extract them from the people you devour. The most proficient skill they had in life can be extracted by the Demon's Eye, saved, and transferred to you. However, you can't just get them easily; you need to pay a price, such as offering more souls to the Great Demon Lord or exchanging human life energy for them."

"The other way is to extract skills from the countless souls in Hell. Many of these souls were great figures in life, such as a master artist, a victorious general, or a head of state. Their most proficient skills are undoubtedly very powerful. However, to extract skills from Hell, you need to pay more souls."

Hearing this, Lu Chong understood everything and nodded. "In short, human souls and life energy are the basic currency. To get what I want, I need to use this currency. The better the thing, the higher the price, right?"

"Exactly."

Bubble clapped her hands and praised with a happy expression, "No wonder you are the son of the Great Demon Lord, you are really smart."

Lu Chong chuckled, "Bubble's sweet talk is even more impressive. No wonder you are the smartest little demon in Hell."

"Ah?"

Bubble's expression froze, and she immediately asked, "Young Master has never been to Hell, how do you know I am the smartest little demon in Hell?"

Uh...

Lu Chong was speechless, muttering to himself: I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously?

After that, he chatted with Bubble for another half an hour, finally gaining a basic understanding of the powerful functions of the Demon's Eye. Then, Lu Chong couldn't help but urge, "Bubble, quickly activate these functions."

"Sorry, my Young Master."

Bubble said, "Today, you have only devoured the souls and life energy of three people, which is not enough to activate all the functions. Moreover, to activate me and release me from the Demon's Eye, one person's life energy has already been consumed."

"Oh."

Lu Chong nodded with some disappointment. "There are two people's life energy left. Which function can I activate? Bubble, as the spirit, give me some advice."

"Of course, you should activate the two major functions of the Demon's Left Eye first," Bubble said without hesitation. "Next, you need to hunt more souls, and you must rely on the True Sight to identify your targets. Therefore, the Soul Devouring Space must also be activated."

"In other words, my physical attributes can't be strengthened for now?" Lu Chong asked regretfully.

"Yep."

Bubble nodded gently but comforted him softly, "Young Master, don't worry. Strengthening the body is a long and slow process. Even if you devour the life energy of dozens of people, your skull still won't be able to withstand a rifle bullet. You can't become invulnerable all at once. So, in the initial stage, the two major functions of the Demon's Left Eye are the most important."

"Alright, you're the expert, I'll listen to you."

Lu Chong waved his hand, making the decision, and then asked, "Do you need human souls, Bubble?"

"I..."

Bubble's big eyes immediately turned into a crescent moon, and she replied happily, "Thank you, Young Master, for thinking of me so quickly. As a demon, I also need the souls of various beings to strengthen myself."

"Alright, you also need souls!"

Lu Chong nodded heavily, feeling the same heaviness in his heart. "To become powerful, we must kill a lot of people..."

Kill!

And it must be in large numbers, a lot of people...

Thinking about this, Lu Chong's excitement quickly diminished, and a thought arose in his mind: Even if it's to eliminate bad people, do I have the right to take their lives so casually?

Bubble was playing with her curly hair, her big round eyes staring at Lu Chong as if she could see through his heart. After a brief silence, she said softly, "Young Master, you are the son of the Great Demon Lord, a super demon. You can't measure yourself by human moral standards."

Lu Chong smiled bitterly. "But I am also the son of a human. My mother is a human, and she is a very innocent and kind person. It seems that I have inherited more from her."

"But..."

Bubble was about to find a reason to persuade him when suddenly, a figure appeared in the room, and the devil father appeared in front of Lu Chong.

He said, "I need human souls, but I can't act directly. I need a human representative to provide me with a continuous supply of souls. Since you are a combination of demon and human, with both evil and good in your heart, and you are reluctant to kill innocents, that's fine. Collect all the evil souls in this world and offer them to me."

"Tch!"

Lu Chong's face showed disdain. "The so-called evil people in the human world are created by you devils, aren't they? You plant the seeds of evil in human hearts, and they gradually become evil. In the end, they are just livestock waiting for you to slaughter. Am I right?"
