Chapter 31 The Brigade Leader of Meteor City 31 (Revised Julian...)
"By then, will Ayana believe me, or will she believe you?"
After saying this, the boy gave his usual innocent smile.
That smile seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, with the shy and reserved sunshine and pure innocence of a young boy.
But at this moment, the boy's innocent face was tinged with a hint of mischievousness.
In the afternoon, the warm yellow light from outside the window shone on his profile, giving his cheeks a sense of being divided by light and shadow.
This ambiguous feeling gave the boy's smile a slightly wicked edge. Seeing that Feitan didn't react, Kuroro tilted his head to the side again, his tone urging and questioning.
What do you think?
Feitan stared coldly at Kuroro.
He stood like an audience member watching a performance from the stands, hands in his pockets, coldly observing Kuroro, showing no sign of being provoked by him. He simply stood there in front of Kuroro, coldly watching him.
"Oh."
Feitan suddenly let out a sneer, shrugged, and said, "I have no interest in getting involved in your 'good boy' game."
He made a move to leave, but left with the words, "But I'm curious, what will her expression be the day you're exposed like this?"
After saying those words, Feitan left, leaving only his back view.
He seemed only to be there to provoke, but had no real intention of clashing with Kuroro.
No matter how mature he appears, Feitan is still a child at heart, unable to hide his true feelings, and in the "mischievous kid" stage where he likes to cause trouble.
The purpose of this provocation was probably just to make Kuroro feel uncomfortable.
Kuroro didn't continue chasing after them.
He stood there expressionless, staring blankly at the floor in front of him, lost in thought. He stood there for a while before returning to his room.
...
The special item [Growth Accelerator] has been used, greatly increasing crop growth speed. Please harvest promptly.
The special item [Health Accelerator] has been used, ensuring the crop's health.
[The special item [Yield Accelerator] has been used, greatly increasing crop yield. Please harvest promptly.]
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Ayana used all of the special effects items in one go.
She deliberately avoided other people, because if there were other people around when she used the special effects props, they would definitely become suspicious and ask her what the props were.
That would be hard to explain; she might have to make up an excuse.
[Host, be prepared to use all the special effects items at once.]
?
What?
Ayana didn't react in time.
[The host will find out tomorrow.]
[Host, please make sure you are prepared.]
The system seemed to be deliberately keeping Ayana in suspense, refusing to speak again after uttering those few words.
Although Ayana had doubts, she couldn't do anything if the system wasn't willing to tell her, so she had no choice but to give up, glanced at the land full of crops, and got up to leave.
But before she had taken more than a few steps, Ayana heard that cold, mechanical voice again.
[New task detected. View?]
A mission popping up at this time, especially one outside... is probably not a good thing.
Ayana's lips twitched; she was extremely reluctant to start the quest.
However, without accepting missions, you cannot progress, unlock new worlds, or remain trapped in this world forever.
This is torture for a gamer.
Ayana took a deep breath and resolutely pressed the "Yes" button.
[A group of outsiders has been detected gathering near the host. Defeating them will earn you a large number of points and may unlock the main storyline, but the host's safety will not be guaranteed.]
[Accept the quest?]
[Note: This is a one-time task; once missed, it cannot be accepted again.]
This mission is extremely difficult. If you accept it, you may face a life-threatening situation. Please consider it carefully.
...
Ayana fell silent.
Is this a multiple-choice question?
He told her that the mission was extremely dangerous and could very likely cost her her life, while also saying that the mission was crucial and could unlock the main storyline, and that she only had one chance.
This isn't a multiple-choice question at all; it's clearly forcing her to choose "yes"!
Ayana's lips twitched twice.
She opened the shop, glanced at her points, and although her heart was bleeding, she gritted her teeth and bought a [Powerful Amplification] and a [Biomanipulation] item.
[Biomanipulation] is a powerful ability, and exchanging for it requires a large number of points. After this, Ayana has very few points left, and she can almost hear her heart bleeding.
It hurts so much, it really hurts.
The points you worked so hard to earn were spent in the blink of an eye. Anyone would feel the pinch.
But there was no point in dwelling on the points that had already been lost, so Ayana stopped mourning them.
Worried about wasting too much time and letting the group leave, Ayana made a quick decision and pressed the "Yes" button.
[Mission accepted successfully. Mission objectives: 1. Expel the outsiders (0/5), 2. Subdue the outsiders' "leader".]
This mission is highly dangerous; please make thorough preparations.
Due to the special nature of the task, no time limit is currently set.
[Host, please be careful.]
This is the first time that a single task has been assigned two targets.
It seems that this mission is indeed far more difficult than any previous one.
[Special Ability [Powerful Amplification] Confirmed for Use.]
A powerful sense of strength, accompanied by mechanical sounds, surged into her body. Ayana focused her mind and held her breath, concentrating all her strength in her feet as she headed towards the location of the mission objective.
...
"Did they disappear here?"
"It should be around here, but why did they send us to investigate? Our team isn't responsible for this."
"Besides, how is it possible for someone to disappear in Meteor City, a place teeming with kids? Could it be that they were killed by those brats?"
"If you ask me, that guy must be complaining about the workload and slacking off, running off somewhere to play. The higher-ups are really something, why do they make us handle this kind of thing? We're so busy! They really don't know what's going on..."
What have you been busy with?
The sudden sound successfully silenced the whispers and murmurs below in an instant.
The boy who had been walking at the very end of the line finally spoke.
"I heard that you've been frequently absent from work lately whenever I'm not around, is that true?"
The blue-haired boy walked step by step from the very end of the line to the very front, his face becoming increasingly clear with the light.
Although the boy had short hair, the hair on his left cheek was slightly longer, extending below his cheek and considerably longer than the hair on his right.
When he speaks, he seems to unconsciously rub his fingertips against his slightly long hair, which gives him a strangely alluring quality.
"You're taking leave because of 'illness,' right?"
The boy walked up to the man who had just spoken with a smile and kicked him to the ground: "Come on, tell me, what serious illness do you have that requires you to see a doctor every day?"
The boy was thin and short, almost the shortest in the group. He didn't look like an adult; he looked more like a middle school student.
Although the people around him were all older than him, they clearly regarded him as their leader.
When he opened his mouth, no one else dared to say another word. In fact, the entire line was willing to make way for him, allowing him to walk from the very end of the line to the very front.
"Lord Julian...
The person who was kicked to the ground had just been full of energy, but now his eyes were filled with fear, and his whole body was trembling.
He stared nervously at the boy called "Julian," his hands on the ground, about to blurt out something to defend himself.
"You...you...you..."
But looking at the boy's smile, which seemed to have risen from the depths of hell, it was as if all his thoughts and ideas had already been seen through by the boy.
The man struggled for a long time, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word in defense.
"What's wrong with me?" Julian asked unhurriedly.
He knelt down and kowtowed to Julian several times, muttering to himself.
"I was wrong, I'm sorry, Lord Julian."
"I will never do it again. Please forgive me. I promise I will never skip work without a valid reason again."
"No!" Julian still had no intention of letting him go.
The boy stepped on the man's back: "Didn't you take sick leave? How come it's now considered unexcused absence? This won't do."
"As a person, you have to be consistent and stick to what you say, right?"
The foot pressing down on his back suddenly exerted force, sending a sharp pain through his back. At the same time, a powerful pressure suddenly erupted from the boy's body. This pressure made the surrounding atmosphere terrifying and silent.
The sound of bones breaking came from the man's back, followed by a painful howl.
The biological instinct for survival prompted the man to resist this oppressive force; he tried to struggle, but it was all in vain.
At the same time, Ayana, who was about to arrive nearby, heard that familiar yet cold mechanical voice.
[Mission Objective: Expel the intruders (1/5).]
