Chapter 157: Falling from the Sky “Scotland should be here to receive me, right…

Chaomu is an experienced game player who has played many games produced by various companies.

In similar, no-buy RPGs, there are generally a variety of ways to acquire cosmetics. While attractive cosmetics do exist as drops from dungeons or treasure chests, they're rare. Those flashy ones are often put into a points lottery, so those who can purchase them directly at a reasonable price are considered to be reputable vendors.

This crappy game, Trash Can King, actually has quite a few pay-to-win points. The online store is packed with items... Chaomu had no idea this beautiful, seemingly exquisite dress... would actually be free? Huh? And the properties are so good?

The immense joy had already overwhelmed her mind, and the player's mind even began to replay her past Mummy gaming experiences frame by frame:

When she was a newbie in the game, she was deceived by other people’s lucky draw videos and spent money to join the pool, but ended up losing the guaranteed amount.

After playing more games, she started playing single-player games for free. It turned out that there was a skill that increased her luck, but it was a gamble. She repeatedly restarted the game to achieve a happy ending where everyone survived. She probably spent dozens of hours pushing through each node one by one before she finally managed to save the last unlucky teammate who was repeatedly pierced through the heart.

When she played the same company's game, Trash Can King, she was still a pitiful Lucky D. She barely got any cards in her daily draws, and only got skills through quests or the kindness of NPCs... It seemed the previous game she played was similar. Her early game development was so poor that she relied entirely on NPC teammates for help. Otherwise, she had no money to eat, and killing monsters was a struggle...

But it doesn't matter! No need to shed tears, unlucky player! Your strength has arrived!

Can't find any skills? Reborn can teach you! Can't afford the appearance and can't ship it? Reborn will give it to you! Not enough gold? Reborn will send you a black card!

It took Chaomu a while to recover from the huge surprise, and he happily sent a message in the group chat to thank Teacher Reborn.

Although she'd already seen it and had some expectations, she clicked the icon to preview the exterior model and was still shocked: This fabric, this precision... Such a beautiful dress was actually given away for free?! And the stats added were even more outrageous than she'd imagined. After wearing this, her Charm stats were even higher than the original Cat Girl suit...

In the attribute list, the fixed main attribute of this appearance is actually not charm, but an unprecedented term called "Mysterious Deterrence".

[Mysterious Deterrence (S+): When you put on this suit, you become almost a different person, mysterious and inexplicably authoritative. (At this level, NPCs will not recognize the player's true form.)

Chaomu thought about it and felt that this was probably a setting similar to that of a famous game called Caress Odd Couple. After putting on this headgear... after putting on this look, even her biological mother or adoptive father would not be able to recognize her true self.

The entry on charm is easier to understand.

[Charm (A+): Power is the best charm potion, and mystery attracts the attention of the curious. With the blessing of status, when equipped with this appearance, the player will inflict special attacks on those who pursue power and secrets.]

This special attack Chaomu is automatically interpreted as a special attack on Xiao Hei Lian. Judging from Xiao Hei Lian's behavior, he must be quite eager for power... Wouldn't she charm him to death? Wearing this outfit, can he still take her home? The chances of drawing cards from the trash can at this time must be very high!

The corners of her lips curled wildly as she glanced at the third attribute entry. Compared to the first two, Firearms Proficiency was clearly just a bonus, allowing her to better play the role of a mafia boss.

With infinite admiration for Reborn, she devoutly posted the appearance attributes in the group chat.

[The A+ Charm of the Universe's Invincible Raccoon King: Thank you, Teacher Reborn! (Little Raccoon bangs his head on the ground.gif)]

[The A+ Charm of the Universe's Invincible Raccoon King: But where did Reborn-sensei come up with such an amazing appearance? And the stats are so powerful!]

After handing out the rewards, Reborn remained silent again, unsure what he was up to. For a while, the silent group chat was filled with the raccoon emoji kowtow.

About two minutes later, seeing that Reborn didn't pop up, the replies from the two senior brothers popped up.

[Second Brother: Don't worry too much, Kogure... Reborn himself is very experienced in this area.]

[The very handsome senior brother: ...Reborn is really good at this... I think there's a term for it? What's it called? Ultimate Perfect Cospree?]

This answer was something Chaomu had never imagined.

She recalled it carefully and looked through the introduction of Reborn's skills in the master-disciple list, then she remembered that he seemed to have a disguise skill... It was outrageous, was it this kind of disguise achieved by appearance?

But no matter what, Reborn's skill finally solved the problem she was struggling with.

The little raccoon stood up happily, wagging its tail, while the two stupid humans above were still discussing other issues seriously.

Their discussion probably wouldn't end so quickly, so Chaomu had time to carefully plan her entrance: crawling out from under the sofa was obviously not an option; she was a mafia daughter, not Mafia Sadako or some other earthbound spirit; walking up the stairs and knocking on the door didn't seem right either; it wouldn't be cool enough, and wouldn't be impressive enough...

She lacked motivation when doing good things, but was very patient and prepared for misdeeds. She quietly returned to the trash can and teleported to the nearby trash can downstairs. In the alley, she changed into her gorgeous outfit, donning a veiled hat that half-hid her face—and then mounted her newly upgraded Raccoon motorcycle.

Under the bright sunlight, the silver-gray motorcycle roared majestically and then suddenly took off into the air.

…………

"...Anyway, Hiro, if you feel like it's hard to deal with this, just try to lure that lady to me."

The topic was coming to an end. On the sofa, the blond, dark-skinned young man said seriously, "I'm not worried about your abilities. It's more that given my position within the organization, I'm more suitable for this kind of work. You can prioritize your image, and I'll handle this kind of work."

When discussing work, Furuya Rei was always so focused and reckless. While Morufushi Kagemitsu had always admired Kojinran's dedication and passion, he didn't completely agree with his current thinking.

"You're a little too tense, Zero. This state is very dangerous." He looked at his daughter with concern, his eyes solemn. "You seem to want to take everything on your shoulders lately. You worry about too many things, and it always reaches your critical point... How long has it been since you had a good rest... Hmm? What's that sound..."

The sound of an engine roaring outside the window suddenly stopped their conversation. Rei Furuya almost immediately reached for the gun at his waist, turned around, and looked out the window warily.

Zhu Fushi Jingguang was more familiar with the structure of his safe house. He jumped up from the sofa like a cat, found a suitable cover, and looked out the window. In the air, the sound of an engine... Was it the organization's helicopter? Had his and Zero's identities been discovered? No, even if they were here to hunt down traitors, given the organization's habits, they wouldn't be so blatant...

All their thoughts ended the moment they saw the scene outside the window clearly. Both Fūya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu were speechless for a moment.

...Who is that...?

The midday sun cast its most blazing and dazzling light from the sky. It was under this radiance that the faceless woman descended from the sky, piloting a massive steel beast. The motorcycle hovered in the air like a winged Pegasus, and the rider wasn't a traditional knight in heavy armor, but a princess in a gorgeous dress and veil... or perhaps a goddess who brought death.

The dark purple skirt, adorned with white pearls, swayed in the wind. The young woman sat upright on the scooter, her silk-gloved hand slightly raised, as if knocking on the door.

The veil half covered her face, revealing only her pointed jaw and slightly raised lips. The smile seemed to come and go quickly, and when they looked at her again, she was once again an expressionless, mysterious and majestic noble woman.

She should be...the eldest daughter of the Vongola family.

This thought appeared in Amuro Toru's mind without any reason or logical reasoning. His eyes were almost completely fixed on her face, and he felt his heart beating more and more violently.

He couldn't see her face beneath the veil... Shrouded in light, half-hidden by a veil like an iris, it evoked an endless curiosity. The more he tried to see it, the more she seemed to be veiled behind a light mist in the morning light, making it impossible for him to look away.

It must be her...only she...who is worthy of that ancient and dangerous family.

The motorcycle roared low in the wind, as if eager for battle. The woman hovered quietly in the air, as if waiting for her prey.

She didn't say anything, and the two people in the room didn't dare to make a sound for a moment. They just looked at each other in silence and exchanged glances.

The tacit understanding between them allowed them to reach an agreement almost immediately. Zhufu Jingguang took a half step back, while Jianggu Ling adjusted his cuffs, quickly straightened the hem of his shirt, and slowly walked forward.

The knight waiting for his prey is very patient.

The prey she was waiting for did indeed slowly, slowly approach, opening the window for her and extending an invitation to her.

"...Excuse me, ma'am," the blond young man cautiously walked to the window and politely asked her name, "May I ask who you are..."

He was always so at ease, lowering his head slightly, not looking directly at her face, but looking up at her cautiously: "If you need any help, I can..."

The young woman glanced at him lightly, then looked past him and at the young man with cat eyes behind him.

"I'm here to see Scotland." Her voice was a little hoarse, and she casually pointed her finger toward the window. "You should be the one to receive me, right?"

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Little Black Face: Is this right?

I went back and made some scattered additions (not finished yet), the general content is that Raccoon felt that Jotaro looked a little familiar, as if he had seen a similar character in the game before, but the other party was not a busty cow-horse graduate student (skip party forgot this after playing the game)
