《The Empress Livestream (1-201)》Bab 10: Dia yang Melihat Semua (VI)
Advertisement
Jiang Pengji memerintah dalam permainannya dan menjadi serius saat dia memandang bangsawan di gubuk yang memperlakukannya seolah-olah dia adalah pilar dukungan mereka.
"Sabar. Setelah waktunya tepat, kita bisa pergi, dan para bandit itu akan memulai perselisihan internal ..."
Dia mulai bermain dengan aksesori rambut yang Shangguan Wan berikan padanya. Ketidakpuasan mulai terlihat di wajahnya.
Ini bukan tongkat rambut emas atau perak tapi yang terbuat dari batu giok berkualitas tinggi. Bahkan jika dia tidak memiliki pengetahuan tentang nilai batu mulia, dia akan tahu bahwa batu giok ini tidak murah.
Giok itu terasa hangat dan halus di tangannya. Itu akan terlihat menggemaskan jika digunakan dalam gaya rambut. Kerja keras dan detail yang dibuat oleh pengrajin ulung ini jelas.
Tongkat rambut giok ini mahal; Namun, itu tidak setajam logam.
Shangguan Wan duduk di sampingnya dan meletakkan dagunya di telapak tangannya. "Kamu suka tongkat rambut ini, Brother Lanting?"
"Tidak." Jiang Pengji menatap gadis itu dan dengan jujur berkata, "Itu tidak bisa membunuh seseorang. Itu tidak cukup tajam."
Wajah Shangguan Wan menjadi pucat ketika dia ingat pemenggalan bandit yang terjadi belum lama ini. Sulit baginya untuk mendamaikan Liu Lanting yang terhormat dengan orang yang berhati dingin di hadapannya.
"Kakak Lanting, ketika kamu memotong kepala seseorang, jangan biarkan aku melihatnya," jawabnya dengan nada pelan.
Jiang Pengji merasa seperti tertawa. Dia memutar matanya sebelum menjawab, "Bagaimana saya bisa menggunakan ini untuk memotong seseorang? Paling-paling saya bisa menusuknya di tenggorokan ..."
Dia berpura-pura menikam seseorang, yang membuat Shangguan Wan seperti kelinci ketakutan. Dia melompat dan dengan cepat berlari untuk bersembunyi di belakang Wei Jingxian.
Gadis-gadis lain, kecuali dua yang akrab dengan Liu Lanting, duduk jauh dari mereka sekarang karena mereka telah lolos dari bahaya. Beberapa gadis mulai merapikan pakaian dan rambut mereka. Tak satu pun dari mereka yang memulai pembicaraan.
Mereka hampir tidak mengenal Liu Lanting, sehingga sulit untuk memulai pembicaraan kecil apa pun.

"Ini untukmu. Tongkat rambut Wan'er bahkan tidak bisa menyakiti siapa pun ..."
Wei Jingxian tidak tahu apa yang harus dirasakan untuk Jiang Pengji. Tetapi karena mereka berdua berada dalam situasi bencana yang sama, rasanya seperti mereka berbagi nasib yang sama.
Dia menyerahkan belati seukuran telapak tangan bertatahkan emas, perak, dan batu permata. Jiang Pengji menerima belati dengan sedikit terima kasih. Dia tidak bertanya mengapa Wei Jingxian membawa belati, meskipun dia tahu bahwa Wei Jingxian telah merencanakan untuk mengakhiri hidupnya dengan belati ini. Bagaimana mungkin seorang wanita bangsawan seperti dia menahan penghinaan?
Cih! Wanita di masa lalu semuanya seperti itu, memilih kematian daripada reputasi yang ternoda.
Jiang Pengji melihat belati yang dihiasi dengan indah. Dia merasakan frustrasi yang tidak dapat dia tempatkan.
Dia merasa agak diyakinkan oleh fakta bahwa belati itu tajam. "Sudah waktunya sekarang. Kamu membawa Waner ke kamar di belakang dan menunggu. Itu akan berdarah, dan aku khawatir kalian tidak bisa menanganinya ..."
Pisau belati itu mengeluarkan cahaya dingin yang samar saat memantulkan cahaya lilin. Belati itu juga berbau sedikit manis ... Bilahnya dilapisi racun!
Wei Jingxian mengerutkan bibirnya, dan suaranya jauh lebih lembut ketika dia berkata, "Kamu berhati-hatilah."
Langit di luar gelap. Dia bisa menebak apa yang akan dilakukan Jiang Pengji dan juga seberapa berbahayanya.
Bandit melakukan apa yang diprediksi Jiang Pengji. Mereka telah memulai konflik internal dan saling membunuh.
Bos bandit akhirnya membalas dendam untuk orang yang dicintainya, dan beban dalam hatinya terangkat. Pada saat itu, yang dia butuhkan hanyalah waktu untuk dirinya sendiri.
Namun, tidak ada bawahannya yang mengerti perasaannya yang tak terucapkan dan mulai menyalak. Mereka lebih berisik dari 500 bebek. Kata-kata mereka semua sama: jangan biarkan keindahan pergi. Mereka adalah bandit. Tidak perlu bagi mereka untuk menepati janji mereka.
Pemimpin Dua dan Empat bingung pada perkembangan acara. Pemimpin Dua telah membunuh dua orang yang bertingkah aneh dan berasal dari kota yang sama dengannya.

"Apakah kamu gila, bos kedua!"
Tidak ada yang meramalkan bahwa pertengkaran itu akan menyebabkan pembantaian.
"Aku tidak gila. Mereka memakan anakku. Mereka pantas mati."
Pemimpin Dua tidak percaya apa yang dikatakan Jiang Pengji kepadanya. Tetapi setelah mempertanyakan para bandit, mereka mulai bertingkah aneh. Kecurigaannya tumbuh ketika mereka gagap menjawab.
Selama pertukaran mereka, dia telah membunuh mereka dalam kemarahan.
Pemimpin Empat telah bergegas maju untuk menghentikannya, tetapi Pemimpin Dua mendorongnya. Pemimpin Dua dengan marah berkata, "Kamu membela mereka? Tidak heran istrimu berselingkuh berkali-kali. Kamu pantas mendapatkannya! Apakah kamu tahu kedua orang ini tidur dengan istrimu?"
Keheningan menyelimuti pondok dan tidak ada yang berani mengintip ekspresi Pemimpin Empat.
Keadaan Pemimpin Dua masih tidak stabil saat dia berjalan dalam lingkaran, menunjuk beberapa bandit. "Dia, dia, dan dia! Orang-orang ini tidur dengan istrimu. Apakah kamu tidak marah? Apakah kamu laki-laki? Kedua pria ini mengakhiri dialog saya. Apa yang salah dengan membunuh mereka? Putraku yang malang ... Dia mati sangat mengerikan ... "
Orang-orang yang dipilih mundur selangkah dalam ketakutan, wajah mereka pucat karena ketakutan. Reaksi bersalah mereka mengatakan, dan Pemimpin Empat menjadi pucat karena marah.
Di tempat lain, Jiang Pengji memegang tangannya erat-erat ke mulut seorang bandit saat dia menggorok lehernya dengan belati. Darah menyembur keluar, dan bandit itu roboh tanpa membuat keributan.
Terselubung dalam kegelapan, gerakannya tidak terdengar. Dia menggunakan teknik yang membuat napasnya tenang di malam yang sunyi dan mengurangi rasa keberadaannya.
Syukurlah, tubuh baru ini tidak menyukai wewangian atau bubuk. Jika ya, dia akan segera ditemukan.
Sistem berpikir Jiang Pengji terlalu memikirkan hal-hal.
Bandit-bandit ini mungkin kuat dan berani dalam hal membunuh, tetapi jika mereka benar-benar kuat, mereka akan menemukan cara lain untuk bertahan hidup. Mengapa mereka bersembunyi di hutan belantara dan hanya menyerang ketika mereka perlu untuk bertahan hidup?
Sistem adalah entitas yang tidak berperasaan. Itu tidak memiliki pendapat tentang pembunuhan Jiang Pengji, tetapi Sistem berpikir ini terlalu kejam untuk streaming langsung.
Tapi kami punya pemirsa sekarang! Apa yang seharusnya menjadi romansa Cina kuno biasa sekarang menjadi film horor. Apa apaan?
Jiang Pengji mengenakan topeng ketidakpedulian saat dia membunuh para bandit satu per satu. Gerakannya cepat dan efisien, dan metodenya adalah dari seorang profesional sejati.
Celah ke tenggorokan dengan cepat mengakhiri kehidupan para bandit tanpa menggerutu. Bahkan ketika mereka menyadari bahwa ada seseorang di belakang mereka, mereka hampir tidak bisa berkedip sebelum hidup mereka berakhir.
Toudu Feiqiu menggertakkan giginya dan menggigil, meskipun matanya tidak pernah meninggalkan layar streaming. Rasanya seperti disiram dalam air dingin; merinding menutupi kulitnya. Punggungnya basah oleh keringat dingin, dan rasanya seolah seseorang akan menggorok lehernya dari belakang kapan saja.
Ini jelas merupakan aliran level terbatas. Konten itu terlalu berdarah dan berdarah. Bagaimana itu disetujui? Dia harus melaporkannya!

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

The Wild Touch
The world of Delmathar has many conflicts and plots that span over the whole world and even into the war torn oceans. That’s not even taking into account that the world is a candidate in the Realm wars… but that’s a story for another day. Instead we will follow the story of how a goddess’s botched attempt of using a weak earth soul to make powerful Grafter for her mother, ends up empowering an unsuspecting little boy. The boy who is called Nosal Brownwhisker, who happens to be a peaceful little buttonless-shirt loving little Capyban. And as the Brownwhisker family tries to juggle their everyday lives on their monster ranch and hiding little Nosal’s secret, more and more developments keep popping up in the village of Pancreedy that makes life more.. interesting. Author’s notes:This is my first fiction and I understand it will suck. Hopefully you will find it to be enjoyable enough to hang around. There’s not going to be any epic world-ending fights or any stuff like that, just some shenanigans generally with the story progressing very slowly as it changes from many viewpoints. The world of Delmathar may seem funky for now so I will promise a glossary every 15 chapters. The wild touch will be updated at least twice a week, with me having no backlog of chapters. So if I get mobbed at work or get sick I will let you know in my notes on a short chapter. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the people who support me, give me encouragement and pointers.
