Chapter 316: Chapter 270: Life Difficulty – Easy Mode_3 Chapter 316: Chapter 270: Life Difficulty – Easy Mode_3 “But…” Hanna’s lips curled into a subtle arc, “if you just choose the most suitable partner from among the ‘people you know,’ the Gospel Book can still help you.”

“Love is a luxury, but marriage is not, and lifetime marriage is common here. Although it’s not mandatory, after completing secondary education at the age of 17, the majority of people marry someone most suitable from their network. Then, according to the instructions of the Gospel Book, they breed at the most appropriate time and produce the healthiest babies… It has been proven those who do this achieve happiness.”

“Appropriate education, appropriate job, appropriate partner. If there were difficulty settings in life, then by signing three lifelong Contracts, your life would enter easy mode, where you only need to quietly listen to the Gospel, and the world will open up its most forgiving side to you.”

Discovering those hidden Talents within oneself, finding a job that might not be grand but can realize one’s life value, having a partner who may not be perfect but with whom you can share mutual comfort… Ash felt somewhat envious and had to watch the manager’s motivational messages several times to calm down.

And these fortunes were merely the basic social security for most Evangelists.

If the normal Evangelist lives on easy difficulty, then Ash’s previous life was at least on hard difficulty, belonging to those the game creators advised first-time human players not to choose before starting the game.

This life was even more difficult, directly applying the ‘Harder Start’ enhancement mod, with enemies strengthened all-around.

Looking back now, Ash being stabbed through by Gerard, a Three-winged Holy Sanctuary Mage shortly after starting out, was akin to being dimensional suppressed by a high-level boss. If any game dared to start like this, it would guarantee a refund within 2 hours.

However…

Ash expressed his doubt, “All these sound quite nice, though. Miss, what are you dissatisfied with?”

“I’m not dissatisfied,” Hanna said with a smile. “On the contrary, I am grateful for this operating system. It’s because the melody of the Gospel is so melodious, that a dissonant note like me can sound so piercing.”

“We’re here.”

They arrived at the third floor and stopped outside a room. The young lady pointed to the Number 15 education capsule inside, “That’s my target, a Beastman Mage, but a production mage with no combat ability worth mentioning. Now it’s your task, Ash.”

Ash looked around. “You want me to kill someone in the school?”

“How could that be? Our office is a law-abiding good citizen,” Hanna said. “You just need to drag him out and give him a beating to get him to leave. This is a task specially prepared for you.”

“Ah? Why is my task this?”

“Because your other two companions don’t look like they can stop themselves; they are more suited for services that may lead to death or disability.”

Ash really didn’t retort Hanna right away. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly remembered the ‘Cowhide’ Technique Spirit he had acquired in the Void Realm. At first glance, it was a Weak Faction Technique Spirit, direct use of which could temporarily boost his defense, so Ash had kept it without integrating it into the system yet.

He activated the ‘Cowhide’ Technique Spirit to bolster his defense, his pale red skin instantly tinted with a faint bronze hue. Then, he put on the mask Igula gave him, his appearance instantly transforming into that of a street tough idly hanging around after a full meal.

“Is he a bad person?” Ash suddenly asked.

“Not really,” Hanna glanced at him, “he’s just a bit too concerned with saving face.”

Ash said no more and entered the room. Next to the education capsule was an emergency call button, which he pressed. Quickly, education capsule number 15 opened to both sides.

A medium-built Beastman emerged from inside, looking at Ash in confusion. “Who are you?”

Ash: “******”

The Beastman, both alarmed and delighted: “Really? My father died a few years ago, and my mother has never found a new old partner; she would definitely be very happy.”

Ash: “******”

The Beastman scratched his head: “Haha, I’m not very bright, even coming here to learn involves more craft than theory, I can never understand.”

Ash fell into deep thought and finally decided to tiptoe and pat the Beastman’s head.

“Why don’t you wear a hat?”
