On their way back, Wu Yan & company took their time. They could hear almost wherever there go, the whispers and rumors spreading around the pedestrians.
Pedestriansā small talk? n.o.body would take note of such a thing yea? Not in this case though.
What theyāre discussing pertains to the treasure map and the party search 3 days later.
It only took so long until the situation has progressed to this stage huh?
Locking his brows in a raised manner and hearing the oncoming discussions he had his thoughts on the matter as well.
It has been only 30 minutes or so, and within this so small time frame the information has diffused to this stage where every corner of the supply town is gossiping about it, isnāt this spread a little too fast?
It seems the auction firm had some play in this, perhaps they arranged personnel to spread it even further.
This additional clue did nothing to calm the furrow on his head, he simply could not figure out why they are doing this.
Do they really need to take it so far? Are they not afraid of being nailed for possessing such an item? Or could it be that they donāt enough supers on hand? Or maybeā¦ another as yet to know objective?ā¦
What he can say for sure is that the auction firms arenāt r.e.t.a.r.d or selfless saint, giving out the treasure map for free. He cannot believe that the auction firm is doing this for charity, what with the treasure that got a tier 9 into being kill on the line here, why would they possibly want to risk sharing this kind of thing with others.
There has to be something theyāre missing at the moment. The ma.s.s distribution of information, the apparent dauntless att.i.tude. Maybe itās as Hinagiku said, they have enough margin to spare for any unexpected situation, in other words trump cards, or even that they have a tier 8 backing them.
He rubbed his forehead in frustration and silently laughed sardonically.
It seems like Iām not the brainy faction, competing on IQ and strategical thinking is not my forteā¦
With no reliable plan on hand, the thing he could do now is improvise as the situation unfolds. He refuse to believe that with all the Systemās glory and his f.u.c.k ton of points that he would be screwed over so hard his a.n.u.s hurt for weeks.
Plus, heās not going at it aloneā¦
Looking at Hinagiku and Mikoto whoās happily window shopping in front of him he subconsciously relaxed his frown.
He laughed and shook his head to throw the annoying thoughts away before quickly making haste to catch up.
Thatās right, Iām not alone!
ā¦.
Inside a slightly larger than norm innā¦
This inn has quite the reputation in the supply town for being top of the clas in scale, in decor, and in service. Basically the most all rounded inn in the supply town!
Itās also the most expensive inside the supply town.
Hence, only n.o.bles, their disciples, or famous people with background come to this place, your run off the mill warriors and magician wished they could stay here but they donāt dare approach. If they stayed, their hard earned gold from hunting in the giant beast forest would be all wasted on this luxury.
Take for example a suite with one living room and 2 rooms, it would cost 10 golds to stay a night.
But, in any world, thereās no lack of people with the dough, like a certain nouveau riche who paid for it like itās nothing.
Pushing open the main door to the living room Wu Yan & company made their way inside. Heās grinning in amus.e.m.e.nt at the two girls who canāt stop talking about what good things they saw and what beautiful clothes they saw.
He sat his a.s.s down on the sofa.
āHinagiku, Mikoto, I have decided to poke my nose in on this search for the treasure.ā
Hearing him, the two stopped their discussion before sitting down to either side of him.
Mikoto tidied her skirt. Although she has obtained a new guard (new safety shorts), sheās still her girl and she canāt act so brazenly, not with this lewd b.a.s.t.a.r.d by his side. His shamelessness knows no bound.
āEven if you didnāt say anything, I would have suggested the same.ā
She swiped her bangs with one hand and one could see for an instant thereās some spark going biribiri.
She would normally do this when sheās excited, and excited she is.
āWell look at youā¦ā
Observing her antics, how can he not be familiar with what her inner monologue is about, besides retorting inside āhow expected of the adrenalin seeking, violent railgunā, he said nothing else.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
āArenāt you afraid of new danger? You ought to know that the hostiles we encounter this time would be far from the likes of the monster cave, the boss monster from before is only a chuuni snake monster with a level 60. This time is different, excluding the unknown danger lurking at the place, the people that comes along might turn into enemies at any time, a lot of them would be a tier 7 level 60!ā
āIsnāt that more fun?ā
She showed a c.o.c.ksure smirk.
āIf thereās more people to beat up, that means more experience points and I think this might be just the thing I need now. I can definitely do it! Going up to level 70!
level 70 huh? Looks like she hasnāt forgotten her main objective of raising her strength, probably for the sake of the SISTERSā¦
āThatās good but Iām just worried that given a lot of people is going be there it would be chaotic and we might be ganged up on or being conned into something.ā
Heās not trying to hurt her zest, he knows that the people he should be wary of the most is the ones from the auction firm and the other people coming along on this journey as well. Surely they would all be tempted by ātreasureā, and soon lose their rationality at its prospects. Greed is the root of all evil you seeā¦
āWell.. thatāsā¦ā
Wu Yan himself understand the most likely to occur problems, as a lv5 and boasting such mental capacities how would railgun not understand it herself. Itās just that her usual antics got to better of rational self.
āShould we make some provisions?ā
Lightning started flashing and her eyes started shining when she said this.
āI want to.ā
A bit upset he continued.
āThe thing is we donāt know whatās the true objective of the auction firm and we also donāt know whoās coming along on this trip, how do we plan in such a context?ā
āAre we just going to give up here?ā
said Hinagiku with a sleepy, yawning, Lirin whoās constantly rubbing her tired eyes in her arms.
āI already said we are going to mess up some s.h.i.t of course we canāt just give up and since we donāt have any solid plan letās just see what we can do with our resources on hand. At this point victory goes to the dauntless!ā
Under the expecting gaze of the two girls he declared it. He felt like a boss at the moment, of course, thatās what he felt not what others thinkā¦
Whether or not his words were boss like is up to debate but G.o.d d.a.m.n his words can sure turn the two girls on, their pa.s.sion that isā¦ especially these 2 hero like girls.
The girls exchanged glance and grinned, well it looks like his words managed to strike a chord with them after all..
āHoweverā¦ā
Seeing that the two girls are getting a bit too riled up for their own good, he changed his tone to get their attention.
āWe canāt just rush in without a safeguard, we donāt know what might happen but based on previous conjectures, thereās a very high possibility of a tier 8!ā
The two girls frowned when they heard this, Hinagiku then continued.
āThatās right, our strongest fighting power is Mikoto at tier 7 peak, if she were to go up against a tier 8 then it would be very dangerous!ā
āDonāt worry, we arenāt without trump cards!ā
Mikoto touched a potion bottle inside her cloth, thatās the Resplendent Breath he gave her long before.
Hinagiku also recalled she had a bottle of it as well, the two instantly had a morale boost.
āYes I know we have a few tricks up our sleeve but Iām afraid thatās not going to cut it, this operation would last more than 3 hours thatās for sureā¦ā
He rubbed his chin as he gestured to them.
āThen should we buy a few more Resplendent Breath?ā
Lirin already entered dreamland so sheās not that restrained in her choice of words anymore.
āNo! Itās quite simple really, they have tier 8, why not we fight fire with fire, we get a tier 8 as well!ā
āGet a tier 8?ā
The 2 were bewildered.
āThatās right!ā
He beamed.
āSummoning points! If we donāt use it now when do we use it?!ā
(Tl: next summonās clue, kuudere and she likes watermelon. Try not to cheat :3)
