Karl didn’t glance at Nailey, and finally said the first words: “The items and experience are all yours.”
Nailey was stunned for a long time and couldn’t come back to her senses. This hero… was really okay?
From then on, Karl never asked for any experience crystals or equipment, and hard-headedly killed his way through with only the initial broken white equipment.
Under his insistence, Naily leveled up all the way, and her only auxiliary skill was almost full. But her skill was really useless: a 0.01% chance to cause 150% damage to the target’s health.
Among the previous ninety-nine heroes, Naily had never enjoyed such treatment.
Compared to the initial spirits used for communication and guidance, heroes were more willing to share experience with subsequently collected high-level spirits to add a bit of certainty to defeating the Demon King. Mr. Karl, who didn’t need any assistance at all, didn’t complete any side quests to obtain high-level spirits along the way, as if deliberately avoiding them.
“The battle with the Demon King is coming soon. Won’t Karl level up to ensure safety?” Naily suppressed the urge to facepalm and reminded the hero to be careful.
Karl had already stridden forward, the hero’s red cape flying, without looking back: “I don’t need to.”
Naily could only resignedly follow, puffing her cheeks and asking, “Shall we continue to the next mission?”
“Mm.”
Naily swiped her finger, and the exclusive system spirit interface appeared. She pointed at the map, checking the route. But she wasn’t actually focused on that; she just wanted to look at Karl’s character profile again.
Ignoring those incredibly high basic ability parameters, the character favorability column at the bottom was spectacular – the favorability of all female characters was zero, with emotional storylines completely blank.
This hero was too ascetic.
The previous 99 heroes Naily led, even those who didn’t go all out with a harem, would at least initiate a romance with a female character, especially the Rose Princess from the last map, who was beautiful, pure, kind, and brave. Most heroes would be inspired by her.
Karl, who didn’t even glance at the Princess, was truly an outlier among outliers.
So worry-free that Naily instead became concerned about Karl’s mental state.
If he saved the world but remained alone, it would be quite desolate.
