"So, I'll pay for the coffee too?" After finishing her coffee, Shi Yin went to the counter: "I'll treat them."

"Oh? Miss, your money and their money, that gentleman has already paid for everything," the waiter quickly explained.

Shi Yin turned her head and saw Kita Kiyokawa and his group getting up. She didn't care about such things and turned to leave with Freya.

"Did he pay for everything? That must be a lot of money!" Freya was a little embarrassed. At least for now, nearly twenty cups of coffee plus small cakes was quite a sum.

Even before the apocalypse, treating someone to twenty cups of coffee and a piece of cake would have been expensive, let alone now that prices have almost tripled.

"It's alright, I'll allocate some funds to him later." Shi Yin didn't seem to mind: "He has money."

You'll never be poor if you stay by the doomsday beacon.

In talent incentive programs, as long as you can make contributions, you will not be shortchanged.

Watching Freya leave, Shi Yin yawned casually, walked to a nearby shop, browsed for a while, took nothing out, and then turned and went into the alley.

After a while, two figures emerged furtively.

"Are you sure this is the place?" A tall, thin man looked around. "This is clearly a dead end."

"Shh, don't talk. My ability can only make us invisible, not hide our voices." The little girl with rainbow-colored hair glared at her companion. "We need to figure out her route to get that cyan crystal core. If we're discovered, we're doomed."

"Have you figured out who this person is? Then follow them." A voice came from above.

"Who cares who it is, getting the money is more important..." the tall, thin man next to him answered subconsciously, but he realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence.

He remembered that his companion's voice was a high-pitched, thin one, so how did it become so clear and melodious? He turned around and saw his companion shaking her head in a panic, indicating that she hadn't said those words.

A cold touch pressed against the back of his head. The tall, thin man swallowed hard. He turned around and saw the black muzzle of a gun pointing directly at his left eye.

Damn! This woman has the truth!

Why didn't the people who sent them to follow them tell them that this woman had a gun?

Although they are superpowered, they usually avoid even reckless robbers with knives, let alone a gun.

That era isn't over yet!

"Let me introduce myself." Shi Yin raised an eyebrow: "And little sister in the back, don't move, from this angle you can kill two people with one shot."

The little girl with the rainbow-colored hair was too scared to move.

"Skinny Monkey, male, 16 years old, loves playing basketball and eating chocolate. His special skill is playing video games very well and he likes listening to classical music..." The tall, thin man spoke honestly.

"Idiot, they told you to introduce yourself, who told you to actually introduce yourself?" The rainbow-haired girl kicked him angrily.

"Parrot, 14 years old, I won't say anything." The little parrot grinned.

Shi Yin: "You won't even tell me about the two green crystal cores?"

"What do you want to know? We can discuss it." The parrot stood at attention and bowed at a 90-degree angle: "As long as you want to ask, there's nothing I don't know."

Shi Yin: "?"

Very good, very decisive.

Tokine: "What is the truth of the universe?"

Parrot:"?"

What is that?

"Didn't you say there was nothing you didn't know?" Shi Yin scoffed, "You're not keeping your word."

"???" The parrot was completely bewildered: "Hey! Are you kidding me!"

"Alright, the people behind you sent you to me. What do you want?" Shi Yin took out two purple crystal cores and threw them over. "Luckily, the people behind you didn't mean any harm. If they had, you would all be dead by now."

"Well, that's not necessarily true. We two are pretty good." Although he said that, the skinny monkey was obviously not confident: "The parrot can turn invisible, and I can run away. We're not very good at fighting, but we're number one at running away."

"Damn it, what kind of nonsense are you spouting!" The parrot kicked the skinny monkey again in anger: "Where's the bravado?!"

Shi Yin: "..."

It's quite remarkable that these two people have survived until now.

“We only approached you because we knew that person meant no harm. We wouldn’t take the job if it were someone else.” The parrot pulled the skinny monkey behind it: “Why is my invisibility ineffective against you? Do you have some kind of anti-invisibility skill?”

Shi Yin: "It's not that invisibility is useless against me..."

I'd say none of the skills are useful to me, right?

"That's right, the person behind us said that if we lure you here, we'll get a green crystal core." The parrot told the truth: "Of course, you just said you'd give us two green crystal cores, so you can't go back on your word."

Shi Yin: "..."

Are these two negotiating with her?

“That person was a woman I didn’t know. She just told us to follow you until we couldn’t see you anymore, then turn back the way we came, and you would catch up with us.” The parrot thought for a moment and added, “She also said that you were a saint and that if we meant you no harm, you wouldn’t do anything to us.”

Tokine: "…………………"

Are you talking about me?

It seems so.

"That last sentence, we think it's nonsense. How could a saintly woman survive in this world?" Skinny Monkey scratched his head, grinning sheepishly. "Someone like you would definitely squeeze every last drop of value out of us. You haven't interrogated us yet, so you certainly won't kill us~"

Shi Yin: "?"

Is this person instructing her on how to proceed to the next step?

Parrot: "You!"

What an idiot! Is he actually teaching the enemy how to deal with him in the future?

The parrot, enraged, rushed over to punch him. The skinny monkey skillfully squatted on the ground, covered his head, and huddled in the corner, exposing his back. He looked quite adept at it.

"Alright, stop fighting..." Shi Yin said helplessly, "You can't kill anyone like this."

"I told you, if you have an IQ problem, then shut up." The parrot was furious: "Don't just open your mouth, which easily exposes your intelligence, just because you think someone is a good person."

“Alright, lead the way…” Shi Yin sighed, “Even if the children from your orphanage come out to relieve stress, this is not the way to do it. It’s too dangerous.”

"Hey, why don't you eat meat porridge? Do you think we want to?" The parrot snorted and led the way. "Who doesn't just want to eat? At least we take any job we can find, we're not as stupid as those who go to a protest."

Shi Yin raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“If you ask me, those people are the ones who are brainless. They’re not even as smart as my brother, who’s mentally challenged.” The parrot pulled the skinny monkey forward to prevent him from getting hit by a car. “Don’t they realize that if the leaders above really lived a life of luxury, how could they possibly bring only two people here to control the situation, give speeches, and conduct inspections? They’re not idiots.”

Not an idiot, Tokine: "..."

“Real tyrants send in the army to suppress them. The fact that they dare to come shows they have nothing to fear. It’s good enough to survive in the apocalypse. Do they really think they can threaten anyone?” Parrot tugged at Shi Yin behind him and complained, “But I have to say, that leader who came was clueless. At least he should have brought us some food.”

The tactless leader, Shi Yin: "..."

"I'm about to throw up from eating coarse grains every day. Can't those leaders just give me a little money out of nowhere so I can buy something else to eat?" The parrot crossed its arms and bared its teeth. "If you ask me, those leaders wouldn't dare come. I could take them down with a single invisible move."

Shi Yin, who dared not come: "..."
