Chapter 65: The Unmovable Mountains 08

The "rectangle" was placed on the counter with a "click" sound, and Hoshino Nozomi guessed that it was a POS machine.

"Please." The clerk's voice was filled with an unstoppable smile, confirming his guess.

Hoshino Motoko remained calm, and mentally asked the system: [Has Gilgamesh arrived?]

[Here we are, here we are,] Worried that the host would not be able to distinguish him from the numerous silhouettes passing by, the system added in a hurry, [The Hero King is at the door, you can see him if you turn your head.]

Hoshino looked to the side and saw a tall, thin silhouette leaning against the door, facing him. Hoshino couldn't see Gilgamesh's expression, but he guessed that pair of eyes should be scrutinizing his every move.

It seemed that if he didn't perform to his liking, he would - uh, it seemed like he couldn't do anything to himself?

The system was a little hesitant: [Host, will the Hero King really pay for you? If he attacks you here, he won't be able to hurt you, but he will definitely expose your location.]

[He won't do anything,] Xingye Wang said calmly, [his position has already been exposed.]

System: [?]

It suspected that the host had secretly completed the game without its knowledge.

But in an instant, the system understood what Xing Yewang meant:

The people in the store did not panic or show any fear at Gilgamesh's arrival, which showed that during the ten years he lived in Fuyuki, he had not been so brutal as to attack ordinary people - at least not in public in broad daylight.

As for the exposed position...Fuyuki City is full of cameras, and Fyodor must have noticed them the moment they set foot in Fuyuki City.

The system quietly applauded the host, but unfortunately Xing Yewang did not need this kind of electronic encouragement. He needed more practical things, such as intelligence and money.

Zhong Li smiled and said, "It's fate."

Gilgamesh snorted and sneered at Zhongli's polite words: "Foolish talk, I don't see any 'fate'."

Zhong Li looked at him deliberately, wasn't that a hint for him to come over? He was in a good mood and happily went to the appointment, but he didn't expect that what he waited for was Zhong Li's stupid words.

It was clearly something that everyone knew, but this god started acting again, stubbornly pretending to be an ordinary person.

Gilgamesh raised his eyelids and looked around lazily. They were all vulgar things, piled together, which only made them more vulgar. They were not as pleasing to the eye as Zhongli standing among the jades.

He almost began to doubt Zhongli's aesthetic sense.

Shop assistant: "Sir, do you want more?"

Zhong Li replied, "Of course." The voices of the two also drew Gilgamesh's gaze to the nearby area. The jade in front of him was warm and clear, just like the jade that had just been revealed.

This is the only thing that's acceptable. He wants it?

As soon as this thought came to Gilgamesh's mind, he saw Zhongli turn around and walk towards him. He blinked at him, his eyes like the finest amber or jade.

Gilgamesh: “…”

He suddenly had an absurd guess. Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows: "Where is your money? God of Wealth?"

He pronounced the last four words very softly. The "God of Wealth" smiled slightly and answered mysteriously: "Everywhere."

Gilgamesh didn't understand it at the moment, but that didn't stop him from finding Zhongli's answer very interesting. Gilgamesh was never stingy with interesting people or things.

A card suddenly appeared between his fingers. Gilgamesh threw it toward the counter. The clerk hurriedly caught it and asked carefully, "Sir, do you need to come over to confirm it?"

"No need." Gilgamesh answered simply.

Zhong Li said gently: "You are an honest person. We believe in your character."

The unexpected fortune and the compliments from the handsome young man made the clerk swipe his card in a daze and saw the two off.

"Everywhere," Gilgamesh pondered for a moment, "Are you trying to say that all the money in the world belongs to you? How arrogant."

"Yes and no."

"If you tell too many riddles, I will get bored."

He squinted his eyes, and the temperature around him seemed to drop. However, Zhong Li didn't care about the low pressure at all: "Solving puzzles is a kind of fun. If you lose the joy of solving the puzzle yourself, it must be a loss."

Gilgamesh thought, it was too early to use the word "arrogant". Was Zhongli teaching him how to do things?

But he was not angry. Instead, he found it interesting and thought it was not bad.

...Maybe I've had enough of boring days.

Gilgamesh asked, "What happens next?"

He speculated that Zhongli's solo trip was mainly to collect intelligence on other participants. Gilgamesh believed that Zhongli would not give up on him as a source of intelligence - although he certainly would not answer questions obediently.

However, Zhong Li pondered for a moment and said seriously: "We need to find a place to live in the future."

He listed several hotel names and asked the King of Heroes which one was better.

Gilgamesh: "...Are you here for tourism?"

"How come? I'm here to participate in the Holy Grail War." Zhong Li was surprised.

Gilgamesh decided to give up investigating Zhongli's lifestyle. Even though he hated gods, he did not think that being particular and enjoying life was a shortcoming, so he readily paid again and let Zhongli stay in a high-end hotel.

The card was directly given to Zhong Li, fully demonstrating what it means to "have the Golden Rule and be able to do whatever you want."

Hoshino Moto took the room card from the front desk and felt that the difference between people was really huge.

[Host, don't you want to ask the King of Heroes for information? ]

Xing Yewang: [No rush.]

Gilgamesh is proud and disdains to lie, but that doesn't mean he will answer his questions obediently. He might even let Hoshino Nozomi guess the answer himself.

So, it is better to give him some guidance and then wait for him to speak.

This opportunity came soon.

Gray suddenly called, sounding a little flustered. Xingye Wang told her a place and asked her to bring Weber over. The place was not too far, and they arrived quickly.

"Mr. Zhongli," Weber said with a sullen face, even ignoring Gilgamesh, "There is something wrong with this Holy Grail War."

Gilgamesh laughed, and Zhongli looked normal.

Weber responded: "It seems you know."

"You don't know much," Zhong Li said, "Not as much as Mr. Gilgamesh."

Gilgamesh lazily raised his eyelids and said nothing, seemingly not interested in explaining. Zhongli asked, "Mr. Weber, please tell me what happened to you first."

Weber: "The summoning failed. There was no response from the Throne of Heroes."

He took out the fragment of the King of Conquerors' cloak, his eyes deep, Gilgamesh straightened up slightly and scanned Weber's face.

"Huh? So you are the boss of that guy."

Weber: “…” You just remembered.

There are few people in this world who are worthy of Gilgamesh's attention, let alone those who can call themselves kings, but the King of Conquerors is one of the exceptions.

Gilgamesh: "Not now, but maybe later."

Zhong Li: "The summoning function is malfunctioning, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't."

Gilgamesh looked at the Command Seal Phantasm in Weber's hand and sneered, "Like her, thinking that everything will be fine with this?"

Zhong Li: "Mr. Weber, there are participants in Fuyuki who have experienced the same thing as you."

Gilgamesh: “…”

As if he couldn't stand Zhongli's translation anymore, looking at Weber's increasingly ugly face, the Hero King curled his lips and said bluntly: "The seven participants have already gathered."

"You, including that sickly guy, are all outsiders who forcibly intervened."
