Apocalypse Regression's
People Who Like to Count
“Oh? Did you find anything good Ark?”
Hearing that question, Ark nodded lightly. He then went to pick something from the pile of things.
Looking at the thing Ark took, Aisha's expression looked strange. What the young man took was even stranger than what he had taken before.
What Ark brought was .. an imperfectly round rock almost the size of a volleyball.
“Stone?” Aisha tilted her head.
“Yes. It's a stone, but not just any stone.”
“Rock round? Even the whole is not perfect? What is special about the stone?”
Aisha approached and took the stone from Ark's hand. After observing for a while, he saw absolutely no difference except for the dull color and its slight weight distinguishing it from the random rocks on the roadside.
“I refer to this thing as milling stone.”
“Stone milling? The type used to smooth? Making flour?”
“Not.” Ark shook his head.
“Then?”
“You should have learned it too. There are several species of herbivorous animals that deliberately eat rocks and store them in their digestive organs.
The stone was deliberately swallowed to help them grind the grass they ate.”
“You mean, this is the stone they spewed? Soaked in gastric juice for so long?”
“Ya.” Ark nodded.
Receiving a positive response from the young man, Aisha instantly stared towards the stone in her hand with a look of disdain. Really did not expect that random stone turned out to have such a role.
It's just, Ark didn't say everything.
If under normal conditions what was swallowed was an ordinary stone, then after what world mutation was swallowed was a certain metal ore.
Not to mention, after being soaked with acid for so long and used as grinding, the ore undergoes a change in quality. You could even say you have experienced a certain mutation.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and only heard the rumors, people wouldn't have believed that the random stone was one of the materials forging the best weapons.
In addition to one of his own swords in his previous life, Ark recalled that the Siegfried sword used to kill ‘Naga’ was also made with this mixture of materials. Used by ‘Lone Star’ and ‘Dragon Slayer’, it already makes people in previous life know how important the material is.
So, Ark was satisfied enough to get one of the ingredients to make an excellent weapon. At least one of the main weapons that do not need to be replaced!
At that time, Aisha directly returned the ‘ milled’ stones to Ark.
“Really, why do you like weird things like that.”
Aisha muttered softly, seemingly thinking Ark was strange because it liked to collect things that could be said. Looking at the young man who could not hide the excitement in his gaze, the woman could only shake her head.

About an hour later, Ark and Aisha left the barn,
“Come with bare hands, back with full bag. I didn't expect you to be that kind of person Ark.”
Despite saying that, a smile bloomed on Aisha's face. Not only did they take some raw materials from the warehouse, previously they had also taken some high-tier herb ingredients.
No matter how he looked at it, Ark and Aisha did not come with good intentions at all.
“After this we will go where Ark?”
“How about going around to observe? Maybe we can meet some high-level people who can be suspected.”
Hearing Ark's reply, Aisha tilted her head. The woman could not help but ask.
Ark turned to Aisha when he heard the question. The young man then asked in a perfunctory tone.
“Do you think I'm that kind of person?”
“You are indeed not a person who likes to interfere in the affairs of others. That's why I feel weird. Why do you want to deal with the traitors of the Golden Maple Group and Imperial Phoenix?”
“Isn't the answer clear?”
“You mean?”
Ark continued walking while muttering in a voice that only he and Aisha could hear.
“They've got Jay out of control. It was fortunate that that person did not continue to break through to the center of the city where many level 4 beasts were. If not, he will be implanted (buried) there although it can be realized at the last moment.
Worse, they almost made Jay a complete monster. That means not only hurting my colleague, but also almost making the ‘investment’ I did before go to waste.
Isn't that kind of reason enough to make me exterminate those two groups?”
After saying that, Ark glanced back at Aisha. Having a ‘friendly’ smile on his face, the young man continued.
“But I didn't do that because it was cruel enough. Instead, I want them to get into the game and enjoy it.
Didn't I treat them kindly? Full of compassion?”
Hearing Ark's words, Aisha couldn't help but breathe in a cold breath. Although he had not seen the young man for a long time, he still knew some bad habits that he liked to do.
According to Aisha, Ark is a person who likes ‘count’.
What is meant by ‘count’ is not addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. However, calculating what would happen to his enemy.
The young man will put the people on the chessboard. Use them as pawns, then move them behind the scenes. Choose who goes forward or backwards, who dies at the beginning and at the end.
Really become a puppeteer who plays them at will.
As Aisha remembered, Ark was not that kind of person before. The young man was the kind of person who did everything in silence. Execute tasks neatly without involving feeling issues or deviant ‘hobi special’.
However, since being framed and captured Anya, the young man began to change. With her brain considered a genius (because it could learn everything easily), she started to have a special hobby.
Instead of torturing or fouling like everyone else, Ark used his brain and skills to ‘count the other person's final’. That method can be even more severe than the previous two hobbies.
“Is it the so-called reciprocating eye, dental reply eye?” aisha asked with a smile on her face.
“Can only.” Ark shrugged with a flat expression.
“Same as always, you really can't express your heart's content honestly.”
Aisha sighed. Although a little regretful, but the woman seemed to have gotten used to such an answer.
At that moment, Ark and Aisha suddenly heard a rowdy voice not too far away from them. The two looked at each other and then nodded lightly.
The two of them then displayed their camouflage skills meticulously before approaching.
Ark and Aisha jumped from the roof of one building to another. They then infiltrated through the window and settled into one of the rooms where the sound came from.
Until there, a bit of surprise appeared on Aisha's face. As one of the famous warriors of the Cursed Berserkers, that woman was naturally quite familiar with some of the famous people in this city.
The people gathered in the room were the higher-ups of the Imperial Phoenix. However, there was the most conspicuous figure among them.
Cassandra, the beautiful woman who is the head of the Imperial Phoenix.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also famous for her strength and intelligence. And now, it seemed that the woman was scolding and cursing the people in the room.
It really showed a different side, not the same as a cold and calm figure as usual!
