As part of the glorious party of trasnportees, and an avid reader of countless transport themed stories, Wu Yan understands a fundamental principle.
Being transported is a good thing because after that youâre the MC. As the MC, one must have the power to back it up otherwise one can only be part of the mob fodders.
It doesnât matter whether or not itâs soul tansport, transport amidst chaos (Tl: not sure about this äč±ç©ż), transport by reincarnation, full body transport, a.n.a.l transport, whatever-the-h.e.l.l transport. Whatâs important is that one must have power and only then will he cool as f.u.c.k!
Given of course, except for some special caesâŠ
Being a transportee in a world governed by the rule of might makes right, quite obviously this isnât one of those exception and one must have the power!
Yes, Wu Yan can just bide his time and gather up Summoning points before summoning a super kicka.s.s team of shoujos to support him and have them dominate the world for him while he sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labour.
But there are various issue with that choice, first whether or not one could ama.s.s the necessary Summoning points is one thing, another is whether or not his male honor can remain unscathed as he sponge off them. He canât!
Be it fortune or authority, their temptation canât be compared to that of what power can bring himâŠ
Emphasis on the word temptation. Wu Yan wonât just pursue power blindly, if that box is a trap then whether or not its promise of power is true, he will strike it down without remorse.
Besides Wu Yan, Hinagiku and Mikoto also focused on the âpowerâ box after a quick glance through the 3 boxes.
It goes without saying that Mikoto would prefer power over money or authority even though she didnât particularly gave much attention to power before. She has an att.i.tude that wonât tolerate losing to anyone and sheâs a Lv5 esper that would go a fight with people.
With a new objective of saving the sisters, the new Mikoto isnât like the one before. She now has a reason to get stronger. After all, how would one save the sisters if they donât possess the necessary strength to do so?
As for Hinagiku, her reason is pretty much the same so she also favors power more than fortune or authority.
The 3 set their sights on the box of power. Meanwhile, Ikaros is just standing there in a daze. Probably nothing much can catch her attention beside watermelonsâŠ
Lirin? After being let down by the fact that there seems to be no real treasure here sheâs being entranced by the shiny shiny crystal ball rather than the dull and hard boxesâŠ.
âLetâs open it and take a look inside YanâŠâ
Mikoto said while she excitedly looked at the boxes. Electricity danced across her hands. Hey now, itâs just opening a box, do ya really have to use your electricity?
Thatâs just him throwing tsukkomi but honestly speaking heâs also looking forward to these boxes.
He flinched when he opened it up and saw its content.
âA ring?â
Hinagiku and Mikoto said hesitatingly after scrutinizing the plain old black ring.
âIt looks likeâŠâ
Wu Yan said after picking it up and tinkering around with it in no less an uncertain tone than the girls.
âIt seems like a s.p.a.ce ring of some kindâŠâ
âTry peeking inside?â
Mikoto is pretty curious at why the master of the ring to rule them all would be able to obtain power the best the world can offer or something along those braggart lines.
Wu Yan is stumped at the moment. Normally when you talk about power in this kind of setting, it is usually some cultivation accelerator, some rare material that can increase dou qi, power augmenting battle skills or some straightout armaments to increase strength.
Maybe thatâs what this ring contains.
Add that to its claim of being the best the world can offer, it certainly has his interest now. What kind of material, battle skills, equipment can increase someoneâs power to that extent?
Very soon, his face froze up as he drooped his head down with his bangs covering his eyes. No one could see what he looked like but judging from the hate seething up from behind him, Hinagiku and Mikoto knows that he is not a happy camperâŠ
âYanâŠâ
Even the doughty Kaichou-sama and Railgun took on a very cautious tone when approaching him. They have got to admit, this is the first time they have ever seen Yan being so scary.
The hate around him dispersed very quickly and he raise his head. Looking at the ring, his face could be described as being very unperturbed. If one were to ignore the string of äș around his head. (TN: veins popping)
âWhatâs the matter? Is it empty inside or something?â
Knowing him, they figured he must have taken some kind of damage for him to exhibit that kind of behaviourâŠ
âItâs nothingâŠâ
Inhaling a deep breathe he calmed down. Tossing around the ring he continued in a low tone.
âI donât if itâs empty or not because I canât open this s.h.i.t!â
âCanât open it?â
Now the girls know why heâs so peeved.
âWhat do you mean by not being able to open it?â
âThatâs right, I myself am curious as well, why canât I open it?â
Clenching his teeth, his face looked like heâs so mad he could just swallow down the ring right now. Hinagiku and Mikoto decided it might be best to be silent for a moment.
Heaving, he held himself back in better judgement from throwing it on the ground and cast his eyes on the other two boxes. A sense of anxiety rose up.
If the ring in âpowerâ box canât be opened, what of that of the other two, âauthorityâ and âfortuneâ?
Donât tell meâŠ
Thinking up to here, he opened the other two boxes with shaking hands and as expected, contained within them is a simple white ring and a gold ring respectively.
He picked them up after observing them for a bit. He then stayed silent.
âIt canât be, another s.p.a.ce ring that canât be openedâŠâ
Just as she finished speaking, a bigger wave of hate surged up from him. She instantly zipped her yapper and stood in a meek manner behind Mikoto. Mikoto didnât say anything and just smiled.
A⊠how it feels to want to shed tears but canât for want of tearsâŠ
Fine, a stone room and no treasure, we can deal with thatâŠ
But why the f.u.c.k would someone put something so deceptive that anyone would kill to get and made it out so that it canât be opened?
A mockery?
He realsed a long sigh as he gazed up, oh what he would give to shoot the one who placed the treasure here.Well, this wonât last for long because soon he would wish that he can find the person who did this and give him a kiss or twoâŠ
Itâs painful seeing him like that, lamenting to the sky in silence. So, Hinagiku and Mikoto decided to return him to his original state while exchanging whispers.
The final decision: Mikoto will give him a tase or two⊠(TN: how does this compute I donât even)
The two exchanged nods. Just as Mikoto is preparing her lightning she inadvertently noticed something when she glance over the boxes on the table. She shouted to Wu Yan.
âYan! Take a look! The boxes has words inside them!â
âWords?â
The call pulled him back from immersing in self wallow.
âTo whoever comes across this, this ring is no more than an indestructible ring, it is not a s.p.a.ce ring but with it the whole Ailu empire is yours to command!â
Wu Yan, Mikoto and Hinagiku exchanged looks. It would appear the three donât quite bought the statement. How can one own an empire with just one ring?
âSince this box has words in them maybe the other boxes have them as well, letâs seeâŠâ
He abandoned thinking further regarding the statement and he let go of the brain power consuming thoughts before turning ot the other boxes. He first took a look at what is written in âpowerâ.
âTo whoever comes across this, this ring is indeed a s.p.a.ce ring and if you can open it, what lies within will give you the right to dominate the whole of Silvaria. Want to open it? Go find the king of Ailu empire, he will tell you everything!â
âFind the king?â
He canât find the word to describe what he is feeling right now and he harped something and threw a tsukkomi before proceeding over to box of âfortuneâ.
âTo whoever comes across this. My treasure? If you want it, Iâll let you have it! Go find it, the key. I left all of my fortune in there!â
ââŠâŠ.â
âSystem, can you please confirm one thing for me? Aside from has there been any other transportees?â
âUser, there is only one system, and the only one with the ability to accomplish such a feat would be the system alone and as such other than the user there canât be any other transportee!â
âThen would you please kindly enlighten me as to why the h.e.l.l did Gol D. Roger transported to Silvaria?â
