The Absolute Sage Meets The Succubus In Time

"Sigh... I have tried to quit smoking forty or fifty times, but I have never succeeded."

"If I could control this ability at will, it wouldn't be so useless. At least it would allow me to quit smoking successfully."

The boy put down the game controller, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up a cigarette, held it in his mouth and lit it with a lighter.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my desire for games today! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to play the newly released "Old Woman's Hat" today!"

"Old Lady series games never disappoint! I hope I can kill this boss within 50 more deaths."

The boy sitting on the carpet talking to himself with a cigarette in his mouth is named Kan Mucheng. He is twenty-five years old and has a cute baby face that makes him look like a high school student of sixteen or seventeen years old.

However... this cute face has a pair of dead fish eyes, coupled with the gloomy temperament of the whole person, many strangers will think that this is a person who "doesn't want anyone to get close to him" when they first see him. Shut up the boy".

Kan Mucheng has opened a small cafe and worked as a tattoo artist, and is currently unemployed at home.

I have been living in a directionless confusion for half a year relying on some money I saved in the past few years. Apart from laughing at myself a few times every day, "What a waste," I haven't done anything to change my life.

He often thinks: If it weren't for awakening that power, he might have been admitted to a good university and found a stable job. Maybe... he would still have a lovely girlfriend living with him now?

Until the age of 16, Kan Mucheng's life was the same as that of most teenage boys - excellent in studies, handsome, and secretly in love with the class girl.

On the day when the power he would always hate began to awaken, the template that was covering him completely shattered.

Does anyone want to have the sage model who has no desires or desires? What if you had to be in this mode all day every day, in an uncontrollable, infinite loop? Would anyone still want to own it?

After so many years, Kan Mucheng has become accustomed to his bad powers, and he has a self-deprecating name - Absolute Sage Time.

Every day after he wakes up, he will forcefully enter this sage time for 12 hours, completely losing all desire for love and that aspect. In short, he will not fall in love with anyone during the sage time, nor will he have the slightest affection for anyone. That aspect of “physical desire.”

A girl (or boy?) that he might be super attracted to under normal circumstances will not even have the initial thought of being interested during this period of time.

Not only that, but what's even more terrible is that during the 12 hours of "Absolute Sage Time", in addition to the fixed losses, he will also randomly lose one desire every day.

The desire to work hard, the desire to learn, the desire to eat meat, the desire to fight, the desire to win or lose, the desire for tobacco, alcohol, tea, sugar, etc...

There is no pattern in the random loss of desire. If you are lucky, you may lose the desire to drink coffee or eat sausages for a week in a row, which does not affect your life.

But the most unlucky time was when he lost his desire to study 17 times in a certain month during his sophomore year of high school.

Although the desire will return after the superpower time is over, how could the desire to learn be ignited immediately after being frozen for 12 hours?

Some people may say that losing desire does not mean that you cannot do it. After all, some people have no desire to work and even hate work, but they still go to work every day.

But Kan Mucheng's situation is different from theirs. The desire to lose caused by this ability is like an invisible big hand grabbing his throat. If he resists forcefully... he will be in extreme physical and mental pain...

If he sleeps 8 hours a day, Kan Mucheng can only be a normal person for 4 hours after the "Absolute Sage Time" ends.

He also tried sleeping during the day and getting up in the evening, imitating the vampire's schedule for a few days, hoping to avoid the time range of his ability, but unfortunately, no matter day or night, this ability would only enter the 12 when he was awake. Hour.

Of course, if he sleeps for more than 12 hours, the sage time will also be reduced and will take up the rest of the day.

Not only is he tired after sleeping too much, but he can't even act like a normal person for one minute. Kan Mucheng doesn't want to do this "loss-making business".

I often recall that I used to laugh with my classmates about an actor's ability to "change hair length and color at will" as the most useless ability in the world. He never expected that his own superpower would be like this.

This... the retribution for laughing at others is too serious!

If powers in every aspect are used properly, they can be used to make money. Some people can even rely on their powers to live a lifetime of food and clothing.

Kan Mucheng racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to make money during his "absolute sage time".

"Huh..." Kan Mucheng let out a long breath, "I finally passed this boss after dying forty-one times. If it weren't for the sage's time, I would have died fifty or sixty times, right? The only advantage of this ability is that it makes me better than normal. A little calmer.”

"But I read the forum before, and it seems that most other players have passed this boss twenty or thirty times. Being calm can't make up for my handicap. The only advantage is actually useless, so it is still a super torture. Disgusting powers."

It has become Kan Mucheng's daily routine to complain about his abilities every day, except of course when he loses the desire to complain.

Just when Kan Mucheng was immersed in the game and fighting three skeleton soldiers, a hoarse singing voice sounded on his phone.

He hurriedly glanced at his phone to see who was calling. When he turned his attention back to the game, three large blood-red words "You died" had already occupied the entire screen.

This is one of the characteristics of the Old Lady series of games. Players can hit ordinary monsters with three or four blows, and ordinary monsters can hit players with three or four blows. Well... that's fair.

Kan Mucheng picked up the phone with some displeasure. Before he could speak, a harsh shout came from the other side: "Sage! Come out for a drink! I've already contacted Lao Lin. I'm in great shape today! I'll definitely call him You both drink and get down!"

The caller was Nie Qingxia, Kan Mucheng's friend who grew up together, and he was the same age as Kan Mucheng.

Maybe just hearing the name "Nie Qingxia" makes people think that he is a very pure and bookish boy, but his overall temperament is completely different from the name. He is carefree, loves to joke, has an inexplicable attraction to girls, and can change eight girlfriends a year.

Nie Qingxia has maintained his light yellow hair color in recent years, which has not changed. Coupled with his ungrateful appearance, he looks like the "evil yellow man" in a certain type of comics who steals the male protagonist's sweetheart and causes huge psychological trauma to the male protagonist. Mao" character.

"I don't want to drink today, you two go ahead. No! It's not that I don't want to drink today, it's that I never want to drink in this life! I quit drinking." Kan Mucheng replied calmly.

"Have you lost your desire for wine today? You are really unlucky..." The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then continued as if he remembered something, "Hi! It's okay! It's already eight o'clock in the evening, what's wrong with you?" Is the sage time coming to an end soon? No matter what time it ends today, we will be waiting for you! In half an hour, Lao Lin and I will pick you up downstairs at your house. Just wait for us and hang up."

Kan Mucheng put down the phone and smiled helplessly.

People like him who are repetitive often lose a certain desire, which is very disappointing. Sometimes they become depressed and bring negative energy to the people around them. They may not even lose the desire to communicate with others one day.

It is already difficult for a person like him to have friends, but he has Nie Qingxia and Lao Lin, two best friends who have no complaints and always care about him. This may be the window God opened for him after closing a door.

"Life... is so boring... I don't know if this ability will torture me for decades..."

Kan Mucheng walked to the window and stared out the window with empty eyes in a daze. Today's sage time ended at this moment.
