Chapter 8 Altak

Chu Cheng returned to the cabin and bumped into Karl who was coming out before he could even open the door. Karl didn't ask much about Chu Cheng coming back at dawn, but Chu Cheng touched his nose and felt like he had bullied a child

In order to reduce the pain of the wind and snow blowing on his face, Chu Cheng chose to teleport directly to a place not far from the station with the two of them. Lima was mentally prepared for this, but Karl looked a little bad the first time, and seemed a little nauseous

In order to reduce the chain reaction brought by this face, Chu Cheng went to the hospital to "borrow" some medical bandages and tied them around his face, covering the upper half of his face. Although his eyes were covered, Chu Cheng still walked freely under the surprised eyes of Karl and Lima. It's all thanks to the system.

Since Chu Cheng teleported here directly, he saved a lot of time on the road, so there was still some time before the departure. When Chu Cheng was playing poker with the system in his mind, there was a rustling sound beside him, and the next second the system gave an explanation

[Host, Starro and Anna are here]

[Anna? How did they come?]

[They just walked here, Starro and Anna. The kind that walked on two feet]

It's not that Chu Cheng didn't remember who Anna was. After all, it happened yesterday, so he wouldn't forget it. But what Chu Cheng found strange was that Anna, a thin girl who had been malnourished for a long time, could be so lively and walk such a long distance by herself in just one night?

[Host, are you saying that Anna and Starro are not ordinary people? But the basic information I have here shows that they are indeed all human, and they don’t have superpowers.】

【You told me that the basic information shows the character I judged, which is to judge this shell. For example, the conclusion I came to is Lance.】

【Host, are you saying... they may have used someone else’s shell? ! Oh my God... How could this be】

【Not necessarily, this is just my guess】

In fact, compared to this terrifying thought, Chu Cheng thinks that another guess may be more reliable. As a child rescued by the protagonist team in the early stage, Chu Cheng guessed that Anna is likely to be a superpower in the future, and may join in the middle stage, or provide assistance to the protagonist team. In short, he doesn’t believe that this character is just simply promoting the map change

【Then host, should we take the initiative? Chu Cheng

did consider this possibility, but to be honest, he could command and arrange the Brave World, but taking care of children was not his strong point. Moreover, the child already had a father, and it would be embarrassing for him to snatch the child away.

So after a symbolic weighing of the pros and cons for two seconds, Chu Cheng gave up this option.

As for Starro bringing Anna, it was nothing more than the same old thing. Thanks to Kallima and Chu Cheng, without them Anna would have to do this and that balabalabala. The protagonist went out to fight monsters, and the people in the village sent him off and urged him to hurry to the next set.

'For some reason, I felt like an actor going to work on time to finish the plot.'

Chu Cheng couldn't help but complain secretly. But fortunately, the train arrived soon, ending this long pre-adventure drama.

[At the wave of Starro and Anna, the three of them set off on a new journey...]

[...Can you be more normal? Are you secretly watching something indecent?]

[Hey hey]

On the train, Lima and Karl were in a compartment, while Chu Cheng was alone in a compartment. Don't ask, it's the system that did it. But this undoubtedly made Chu Cheng much more convenient.

Although it was uncomfortable to wear a bandage and walking was a bit top-heavy, it was more troublesome to tie a bandage that didn't press on the hair and was visible, and also made people look mysterious and handsome, so Chu Cheng would rather let the system report the road conditions to him

all the time. Just in case, Chu Cheng also tied a few bandages above his chest to cover the marks brought by the vines. But the system's comment on this was

[No way, aren't you just riding on the popularity of the neighboring writer O-dog! ! ! ]

[.....Does your system not provide on-the-job training?]

The busy days of the past few days have kept Chu Cheng in a continuous rotation. At this moment, the leisure time on the train gave Chu Cheng a rare half-day of leisure, and he actually felt a little sleepy. Amid the roar of the speeding train, Chu Cheng fell asleep.

This was the scene that Carl and Lima saw when they opened the door. At that time, Lima's 'Lance' almost shouted out loud, but he stopped talking abruptly after seeing the scene in front of him,

"Lima?"

"...He fell asleep."

Lima gently closed the door of the private room without making any sound. Carl also lowered his voice unconsciously and turned to look at the girl beside him. The girl was tying up her long hair. Seeing that both of them turned their heads to look at her, she responded with a puzzled face,

"Aren't you looking for someone? Are you still looking for someone when he's asleep? If not, hurry to the restaurant. I'm so hungry."

Lima glanced at the girl with long pink hair without leaving a trace. Although she had no money, she was clean and many of the things she subconsciously revealed were not things that the lower class people would know. Did she run away too?

In recent years, as conservative nobles have increasingly advocated high-pressure elite policies, marriages between relatives, and even marriages within the clan, a young lady from an upper-class country could not bear the heavy burden and ran away from home. She has not been found yet. Since then, like a flood with a gate opened, many young ladies and young masters have fled, especially the second sons and daughters who were pulled out to be the commodities of marriage.

For a time, they were the runaway sweethearts of the country

. Lima judged that the girl in front of him was probably a runaway from a certain family. But he didn't care too much about it. He was very kind to provide her with a meal. This thought reached its peak when he saw the girl eating the meal for ten people by herself.

Many passengers around cast their eyes in their direction secretly. At first, Lima felt a little uneasy, but Carl beside him immediately joined the battle. The two of them licked the plates clean as if they had never eaten before, and the plates were piled up half a meter high. Lima also gradually changed from shame to numbness.

Haha... He shouldn't have bothered with the glutton .

Finally, when this meal was about to consume nearly two-thirds of the coins he exchanged, the two people finally had their fill. The pink-haired girl burped softly and wiped her mouth casually with a tissue.

"Did you finish eating? After you finish eating..."

"Thank you, kind people. My name is Tatarina. I am a superpower from the Leonard family. I am currently undergoing training."

Lima was interrupted by Tatarina before she finished speaking. Carl looked up at Tatarina in a daze, with chicken leg oil on the corner of his mouth, but Lima understood the value of this sentence

. Leonard is a big family in the upper kingdom, the eagle dog of the royal family, and can almost crush the Windsor family with one hand. If you make friends with Tatarina... maybe you can find a way to get rid of the marriage...

The aristocratic thinking mode cultivated over a long period of time made it difficult for him not to judge a person's value immediately. Lima, who reacted, patted his head with a headache, and silently apologized to Tatalina in his heart,

"Experience? Tatalina, are you going to fight monsters?"

Compared to Lima who calculated the value of friendship, Carl was more interested in the experience that Tatalina mentioned. After all, his goal was to become stronger.

Facing Carl, who couldn't hide his desire to become stronger, Tatalina waved her hand casually, took another piece of cake and ate it while cutting it

, "Just call me Tata. Fighting monsters... Probably the same. Anyway, in our family, when you reach a certain age, you will be driven out of the house without anything, and you can go back after living for three years."

"You two are also superpowers, right? Don't deny it, I can feel it. If you don't mind, can I follow you? After all, I don't know my route either."

Hearing this, Lima couldn't help but show his dead fish eyes and complained

, "Actually, you just want to find someone to pay for your meal..."

Tatarina, who was hit on the heart's thoughts, was not shy, but admitted it generously, inserted the fork into the tender and juicy berries and put it into her mouth, mumbling while holding the food,

"What are you afraid of? The three of us are superpowers. We can earn a lot every month just by taking jobs at the Superpower Union. Are you still worried about not being able to afford food?"

"Then why don't you go by yourself? Wouldn't it be the same if you take the job alone?"

Although Carl was happy to have an extra companion on the road, he was not a fool. It would be too stupid for him to form a team with anyone he picked up on the street.

Tatarina hesitated symbolically for two seconds and then said everything she should and shouldn't say.

"As everyone knows, there are many races in the Wanjie Continent, and humans are just one of them..."

Seeing that Tatarina was about to start a long storytelling, Lima decisively interrupted her story to

"get to the point."

"Ahem,"

Tatarina coughed twice and touched her nose, then shrugged under the two pairs of sharp eyes.

"To put it simply, I'm a human with werewolf genes, but I have a high probability of reversion to my ancestral form and the frequency is not low. But I'm not a werewolf, so the comfort of my werewolf companions is useless to me. Before I can control my own abilities, I hope someone with superpowers can keep an eye on me and don't let me go out and hurt people when I revert to my ancestral form."

Lima and Carl suddenly realized after hearing this. Normally, only humans can become superpowers, because many superpowers of other races are fixed and do not have the strange and varied abilities of humans. But it’s different if you have genes from different races. You have a chance to awaken your own abilities and a chance to revert to your ancestral home. The double buff blesses those who have

“But I remember... it seems that the Leonard family hasn’t had anyone with reverting genes for a long time, right?”

Tatarina looked at Lima in surprise, and then confirmed his understanding,

“You know a lot, great man. That’s right, so I’m not really from the Leonard family. You can guess it from the color of my hair. I was picked up by them.”

“Or, bought back.”

“Huh!?”

Carl’s shocked shout attracted the attention of the people around him, but after seeing Lima’s cold face, he went back angrily. Tatarina didn't show any sign of being offended. On the contrary, she happily nudged Carl with her shoulder.

"I can see from the fact that you are not from the same place as the boy next to you. You country bumpkin, you've never heard of buying people?"

Tatarina turned around and crossed her legs.

"I was bought from the Usubi Auction House. It seems to be quite expensive. The Leonard family bought me to increase the family's reputation... Hey, you are not aggrieved. I am not aggrieved at all."

Looking at Carl had an expression that said, "This Leonard family is not a good thing." Tatarina rubbed Carl's head with amusement, and withdrew her hand with a pout under Lima's disapproving gaze.

"It's not as bloody as you think. The Leonard family treated me very well. I was treated as a legitimate heir in terms of food, clothing, and expenses. It's also true that everyone is like this when I go out to gain experience."

This also explained why Tatarina was born in a big family but was casual and carefree. The three of them became closer because of this.

"You are going to Bellit, right?"

Seeing the two boys nodded, Tatarina smiled and said,

"Then take me with you! I know Bellit very well. I even know how many sewers there are better than a mouse!"

So why compare yourself to a mouse? Lima feels that she has less hair today.
