"Captain, when do we depart?"
Toyokawa Shoko couldn't wait to go and get Koschei's gold... ah, no, to help the group member Talulah who was in urgent need of help.
Helping a group member was the duty of an administrator. How could she desert at a critical moment?
In the last world quest, Abyss Flower was eventually split into two parts. One part, Abyss, was returned to Durandal, while the other part, Flower, and Gene Reaper remained in her hands. But because these things were too precious and too dangerous, even after using the dimensional chat group's administrator privileges to sterilize the two weapons and confirm they were not dangerous, Shoko did not act rashly.
She had locked them in a cabinet after getting them to prevent any accidents. Not knowing what to do with them, she had planned to throw them on the chat group to exchange for points. Fortunately, she got a reminder from Qian Yi.
"Flower is very functional. It's better to keep it for yourself than to sell it. But it's a Honkai energy weapon, so it's too dangerous in your hands. I suggest giving it to Kiana to hold for now. As for Rita's Gene Reaper, recycling that weapon on a scamming thing like the chat group probably won't get you much. They'll probably just give you a few hundred points and send you on your way. But if you ask Kiana to negotiate with Schicksal, I think Schicksal would be very willing to pay a hundred million to buy back this weapon."
A hundred million!
A hundred million!
Regardless of whether Qian Yi was talking about US dollars, RMB, or yen, for her, it was a godsend.
Doing a world quest and running a blade could earn a hundred million. Then how much could she earn from getting the gold of a Duke?
She didn't know, but Qian Yi was already recruiting teammates in the group.
[Steel 'Lao Da']: Terra black snake raid, anyone coming?
[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: Another event?
[Steel 'Lao Da']: Talulah invited me to her world to fight the undying black snake Koschei.
[Underworld Head-Spinner]: What's an undying black snake? A black snake? That's very rare in the Underworld. I caught one before and made snake soup for the kids. Everyone said it was delicious. It's a pity I didn't get to taste it.
Mentioning a black snake reminds her of snake soup, and snake soup reminds her of children. Seele, you are so gentle. Truly the gentlest in the dimensional chat group.
[Steel 'Lao Da']: He's a super perverted lolicon. He targeted a girl when she was little, and to get her, he was willing to blow up half of Lungmen. Even after death, he possessed someone else's body, wanting to take it over.
[Talulah]: ...Everything you said is correct, but why does it feel so weird?
[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service]: Miss Talulah was targeted by such a guy? Koschei is truly despicable.
[Underworld Head-Spinner]: Count me in. I'm going to beat a guy like that to a pulp!
[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: I'll go too. After I told my sister about my mom and useless old dad, the way my sister looks at me has become a bit strange. I suspect she might want to beat me up again. I need to get out of here quickly.
[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service]: What about Mei if you leave? And don't you still have to negotiate with Schicksal to sell Gene Reaper at a good price?
[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: Shoko, some things don't need to be said so clearly, you get it?
If I don't think about it, then it's like it doesn't exist!
Besides, when Durandal found out Abyss Flower was gone, her face became scary, but she still didn't beat up Mei, only me. She probably won't do anything to Mei after I leave.
[Talulah]: Uh, how should I put it? Although I'd welcome you all to come, my points might not be enough to buy so many travel tickets.
After receiving a thousand points, buying some Originium inhibitors and some winter supplies, Talulah's balance was only around two hundred.
Fortunately, the travel tickets in the group were priced differently. There was a one-day one, a one-week one, and a one-month one. The one-day one only cost ten points, the one-week one fifty points, and the one-month one a full two hundred points.
Her two hundred points were enough to buy one-week tickets for about four people.
After telling the group this news, some people decisively dropped out.
[Generalissimo Maple]: I still have school here, so I can't go.
[Underworld Head-Spinner]: I probably won't be much help if I go. Call me again if you need me. And the snowplains... I don't really want to go.
[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service]: I can buy my own travel ticket.
If I go, I won't be much help, just a rat picking up things others don't want. How could I trouble Talulah to pay for my ticket?
[Child of Prophecy]: So it's me, Shoko, Kiana, and Qian Yi, four of us? Hehe, a party of four, let's go!
[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: Ursus, charge!
...
Ursus Snowplains, outside a certain village.
This was a desolate wilderness, full of tree stumps. Before winter came, this was a forest, a good place for the villagers and the Reunion Movement to collect firewood. However, as winter approached, the nearby villagers had cut it all down and sold the excess firewood to other villages, leaving only the Reunion Movement to endure the severe cold day after day.
Shieldguards in heavy protective suits held their shields and passed by the remaining tree stumps. Their steps were uniform, crunching on the snow mixed with leaves. They stopped after reaching an open area ahead and then split into two lines to form a path.
In front of the shieldguards were three people with vastly different appearances. The leader was a dragon girl in a military uniform. To her right was a mountain-like figure holding a halberd and shield, wearing a goat-head mask—Patriot. To her left was a silver-haired girl with rabbit ears—FrostNova.
The strongest combat power of the Reunion Movement was almost all gathered here at this moment.
"Just me and FrostNova coming to pick you up would have been enough." Talulah didn't understand why, as soon as they heard her group friends were coming, everyone responded and wanted to come along, as if they knew them better than she did.
"Talulah, you know, once the old stubborn one makes a decision, I can't persuade him either," FrostNova said.
"Just in... case... they... should be here soon..." Patriot said in a hoarse and intermittent voice.
The shieldguards behind Patriot immediately understood his meaning. They took out their shields to use as trays, laid a slightly yellowed white cloth used by the villagers for steaming buns on top, then placed two small ceramic cups, opened two bottles of milk to fill the cups, and added two beautifully shaped leaves they had gotten from somewhere on the rim of the cups as decoration. This was the best welcome ceremony the Reunion Movement could muster.
According to Talulah's account, the friends she had met in the chat group were mostly very powerful. Especially one of them who was coming this time, whose strength could match a girl who was like a humanoid giant beast, who could create a huge explosion covering a city block with a wave of her hand, and could even easily heal mortal wounds. Even more terrifying, that person knew almost everything, truly achieving the state of "I know all."
To be honest, Patriot found it a bit hard to believe that such a person existed in the world. He also didn't believe how Talulah, who spent all day with them in the snowplains, could have met such an amazing friend. And he didn't believe that such a strong person would come all the way across worlds to help just because of Talulah's request.
A door abruptly appeared in front of everyone. Patriot stared at the wooden door, a sharp red light in his eyes. As a war hero of Ursus, the last pure-blooded Wendigo, he could easily scare away a hundred trained Infected patrol squads with just his gaze. Cowards would piss their pants in fear before his eyes, so he rarely looked at people directly. But today, he wanted to use these eyes to confirm whether the person who had mesmerized Talulah like a fangirl was a charlatan or someone with real skills. If he was a charlatan, then he wouldn't mind teaching him the rules of the Reunion Movement.
The wooden door opened. A girl with her hair in pigtails, wrapped up warmly and carrying a suitcase, walked out first. Seeing this young girl, whose style was completely out of sync with the surroundings, and even with themselves, Patriot and the others couldn't help but be stunned.
What the—this is the all-knowing powerhouse Talulah was talking about, who can blow up a city with a wave of her hand, make demons like Koschei stop crying, and is all-powerful?
Where did this kid come from?
Toyokawa Shoko, at about 1.55 meters tall, could be considered petite and mini in the land of Terra, where the average height was over two meters. She was small enough to sit at the same table as the Feline and be petted like crazy.
Next was a blonde girl with a hood, holding a staff, looking every bit like a country girl. Then came a white-haired girl with异色眼 pigtails.
The last to appear was a rather handsome, even stylish young man, with a long sword in a black and red scabbard at his waist. But the sword looked more like a decoration than a weapon. He carried a fully stuffed hiking backpack on his back and held a large paper bag and a suitcase in his hands.
Patriot, FrostNova, and the shieldguards behind them were all a bit lost. Wait, where's the world-shaking, nation-destroying, demon-slaying-like-killing-a-chicken, Koschei-fearing, all-knowing, all-powerful super big shot?
How do these four people look like they have any professional skills? Even their clothes are all over the place. They don't feel like they're here to help at all. They look more like a student tour group who bought student tickets for a one-day trip to the Terra snowplains.
Are you guys here in the Ursus snowplains on a date?!
