I Put All My Points into Persuasion Because I Fear Pain

As a renowned game developer, Ji Xiaoshuai created Xia Qiyang, a textbook tragic beauty of a boss, for the infinite-loop game Old Ones Rule. Xia Qiyang was impossibly beautiful, impossibly powerful, and impossibly tragic. Born the Child of Light, he spent twenty years being used as a tool, only to be betrayed by everyone and die miserably. He then crawled out of hell and personally slaughtered all his enemies. On her way home after working overtime all night, Ji Xiaoshuai transmigrated into the game after an accident. She found herself in the middle of a bloody revenge scene, with Xia Qiyang, who held a high-vibration particle blade and never left survivors, only one floor away. Question: A game character whose entire tragic life was caused by you is standing right in front of you, and he can read minds. Could things get any more tragic? Ji Xiaoshuai: Yes. For example, you're terrified of pain and death, but you've transmigrated into a character in an infinite-loop game and, according to the plot, you're probably going to be tortured for another fifteen years. And the only skill you can use right now is Persuade, which your character card has leveled up to the max. Two minutes later, Xia Qiyang appeared in front of Ji Xiaoshuai, humming a tune and carrying a blood-dripping knife. Ji Xiaoshuai meant to greet him calmly in the face of danger, but the words that came out were the name players commonly called him: “Hey, wifey!” Xia Qiyang, blessed with a face of unparalleled beauty, tilted his head slightly and glanced at her. [The other party accepted your proposal.] Ji Xiaoshuai: ! Persuade is freaking awesome! [So he decided to kill you in a special way.] Ji Xiaoshuai: ... * Later, someone interviewed Ji Xiaoshuai: What do you think is the most important trait that made you one of the strongest people in the world? Ji Xiaoshuai: Probably the fact that I'm afraid of pain. Reporter: Uh, I remember you single-handedly killed indescribable monsters in more than one instance. Ji Xiaoshuai, serious and solemn: Impossible. I clearly persuaded them to kill themselves with some toxic platitudes. * Later still, someone interviewed Xia Qiyang: There are all kinds of rumors. What exactly is your relationship with Ji Xiaoshuai? Xia Qiyang, coldly: She's someone standing in the way of my plan to destroy the world. Reporter: Oh, then I suppose you wouldn't be interested in the news that a rising star in the Alliance made a very public declaration of love to Ji Xiaoshuai yesterday. Xia Qiyang: …Which rising star? Notes: 1. The title is a reference to the light novel I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. The main story has nothing to do with it. 2. Persuade is a skill used by Call of Cthulhu investigators. 3. Feel free to point out any mistakes in the Cthulhu elements. I made up everything else. Theme: Even when you're in a desperate situation, keep hope in your heart and look for a way out.
