Chapter 41 Good News and Bad News

Mu An did not know the little thoughts of the two girls, nor did he know that he had inexplicably been given a "Nice Guy" card.

At this moment, he was happily checking the huge pile of rewards he had just obtained.

"You initiated revenge against a powerful enemy and slaughtered them all, successfully lighting up the achievement [I Am the Fire of Revenge That Finally Ignites], congratulations, you have obtained the reward [Draw Count + 1]!"

"Your employees Nina and Renée killed an Advanced Rank 88 Flame Two-Headed Dog and an Advanced Rank 90 Lightning Light Bird beyond their level, you have also additionally gained the same amount of experience + 18.8 million!"

"Your Rank has been upgraded (Rank 46 → Rank 70), all attributes + 1024, free attribute points + 1024!"

"You have picked up the drops from two Advanced monsters — [Gold Coins + 12]!"

"You activated [Gold - Eater is King] to devour the corpses of the Flame Two-Headed Dog and the Lightning Light Bird, congratulations, you have obtained — [Lv5. Fire Control], [Lv5. Fire Resistance], [Lv6. Lightning Flash Step], [Lv6. Thunder Cage], [Agility + 45], [Physique + 39], [Mental Energy + 32]!"

This wave really took off!

Soaring from Rank 46 to Rank 70 in one go, and attribute points also surged by more than a thousand.

Mu An was very satisfied with this.

If he slaughtered a few more monsters over Rank 90, his Rank would sooner or later catch up to Bai Ningyu.

Speaking of which, how exactly did that girl Cultivate?

In the real world, a place with almost no magic, she was actually able to reach Rank 99.

Could this be the legendary Prodigy?

Hiss —

The concept-level school beauty is indeed... terrifying!

At this time, Nina and Renée also returned.

"Boss, we just knocked out a strange eyeball."

"Renée said it was a method used by some mages to gather intelligence. For safety's sake, we just took it out."

Nina rushed up happily, wanting to hug Mu An.

The cat tail behind her swayed, as if saying: Hurry up and praise me.

Mu An wanted to refuse.

He tried to use his large hand to push against the girl's forehead, avoiding the other party from 'taking advantage of him'.

But on second thought, as a qualified boss, sometimes you still need to give your employees some sweetness.

Helplessly, he chose to give up resistance (sacrificing his good looks) and let Nina hug him as she wished.

"You can only hug for ten seconds."

The man said, feigning fierceness.

A happy smile appeared on Nina's face, and she nodded like a pecking chicken.

"Hee hee, thank you Boss, Boss is the best!"

To her.

Since she could hug the Boss now, would kissing the Boss be far off?

If she could kiss the Boss, would doing 'lewd things' be far off?

And if she could do 'lewd things' with the Boss, then giving birth to the Boss's children wouldn't be far off either!

[Come on!]

[Nina, you must work hard to become the Boss's concubine!!]

The girl silently cheered herself on.

She had even started imagining how many children she would give birth to for Mu An!

On the side.

Renée looked at the two of them being so intimate (shameless) in full view of everyone, and felt her own face getting a bit hot.

She inexplicably had the feeling of watching the live-action version of some erotic book.

It was... embarrassing (exciting)!

One could only say... Nina was just too, too unreserved!

Not ladylike at all!!

Unlike her.

No matter what, it was absolutely impossible for her to become like that!

Hmph! Absolutely impossible!

[Favorability from Renée + 10, current favorability: 65]

"Due to the increase in employee Renée's favorability, you have obtained a random drop reward — [Lv1. Elf Language], [Skill Proficiency + 1000], [Ordinary Book · The Cultivation and Strategy Method of a Tsundere Elf Girl (True)]!"

Mu An glanced at Renée.

Speaking of which.

He was still a bit concerned about the detection magic the two girls mentioned earlier.

"When did that eyeball you mentioned appear?"

Seeing the man looking in her direction, Renée was clearly stunned for a moment.

She didn't seem to expect him to suddenly throw the question at her.

She was flustered for a moment, pretending to be very busy organizing the golden hair hanging in front of her chest, and even deliberately hummed.

"It might have been there since before we arrived here!"

"But don't worry, before you ate those two monster corpses, we discovered and destroyed that thing, so it wouldn't expose your true identity."

"Appearing with Undead Creatures in a maze might be excusable."

"But the behavior of eating monsters as food would never be accepted by those humans. Maybe you would even be treated as a heretic and tied to a cross to be burned to death."

"Hmph! So, remember to thank me and Nina properly!"

The girl lifted her head slightly, tsundere-ly putting her hands on her hips.

And Mu An couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing this.

What did she mean by leaking his true identity?

He didn't have any true identity, at most he was an outsider from another world!

But Renée was right about one thing; in terms of reason and emotion, Mu An did not want his 'trump card' to be exposed.

At least not until he became strong enough.

"I'll treat you and Nina to an extra meal when we get back."

The man said casually.

"Boss, hooray!"

Nina cheered, and took the opportunity to 'take advantage', lingering in Mu An's arms and unwilling to leave.

She looked just like a little milk cat that liked to act spoiled with its owner.

Cuddle ヽ(=^･ω･^=) 丿

"Hmph!"

"Extra meal or whatever, I'm not looking forward to it at all!"

"However, considering this is your kind intention, it's not like I can't reluctantly accept it."

Renée snorted tsundere-ly, almost writing the words 'insincere' on her face.

Mu An smiled without saying a word.

If he remembered correctly, after she was fed scallion pancakes, her little tongue had become picky.

Like Nina, every time the two girls ate, they were like little squirrels that hadn't eaten for a hundred years.

Every time they buried their heads in crazy eating, their cheeks bulging.

Sometimes they would even fight over the last scallion pancake.

True plastic sisterhood!

"By the way, do we need to find that mage? And then... cut the weeds and eliminate the roots?"

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots?"

"Yeah, that's how it's written in novels!"

"No need to be so ruthless. It's not like we have to rush over and kill someone just because they looked at us."

Facing Renée's suggestion, Mu An waved his hand.

As long as the other party didn't make a move against them, or show too much hostility.

He wouldn't do anything too extreme like 'humanitarian destruction'.

"And... I probably guessed who the other party is."

Having said that, he stopped and didn't clearly say who it was.

Renée: ?

"What kind of annoying riddle-maker stops halfway through a sentence?"

The girl muttered.

It was like a novel suddenly stopping at an exciting part, making people's teeth itch with anger.

But since Mu An said so, she didn't insist on asking further.

Mu An narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.

First, the guy using detection magic was not nearby.

Except for the three of them, the [Enemy Detection Radar] did not detect any other living people within a radius of two thousand meters.

And why did the other party want to scout these two Advanced monsters?

Either they wanted to hunt them, or these two Advanced monsters had affected his side.

The former is not worth mentioning for now, if we continue to reverse-engineer the latter, what place was affected?

Undoubtedly, it must be the nearby Augu Town.

It was suffering from a monster tide, and the culprit of all this was undoubtedly these two Advanced monsters.

Since this person could use magic, 99.99% of the chance they were a mage.

There happened to be a Magic Guild in the town.

To be cautious, when Mu An entered the town, he had intentionally or unintentionally used the [Enemy Detection Radar] to scout the powerful people in the town.

The most powerful one was a guy named Doyle Christopher, with a strength of around Rank 66.

He seemed to be the president of the Magic Guild here.

Mu An glanced at his current Rank.

Well, he was already Rank 70.

Because he could continuously devour monsters through [Eater is King], his own attributes were definitely far superior to other adventurers of the same Rank.

This point was beyond doubt!

Therefore, that mere Rank 66 old guy was completely nothing to worry about!

If he had some inappropriate little thoughts, Mu An wouldn't mind sending him to retirement early.

Just as the three of them finished cleaning up the scene and were preparing to return, Mu An suddenly frowned and stopped.

"Boss, what's wrong? Are there enemies nearby?"

Nina immediately held her dual guns, looking around vigilantly.

The girl's cat ears had stood up, listening in all directions and watching from all sides, ready to deal with any monsters that might appear.

Mu An shook his head.

"That's not it, it's just that there is good news and bad news now. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Tell us the bad news first!"

On the side, Renée was playing with her golden hair tips with her fingertips, curling and twisting them.

The man didn't sell it anymore and said straight.

"The bad news is that your sister Elena is now in danger! She just sent me a distress signal!"

Hearing this, Renée's movements stalled, and her face became a bit more serious instantly.

Nina also asked immediately.

"What about the good news?"

"The good news is that we can teleport over, and maybe we can save her in time."

While speaking.

Mu An had already used the [Positioning Teleporter], and a special magic circle shining with white light had already been generated under the feet of the three.

"So what do you mean...?"

"Go save her!"

The two girls looked at each other and said in unison.

...

Meanwhile.

Augu Town, Magic Guild.

Even though the detection magic ball had lost its image, the president of the Magic Guild, Doyle, had not yet recovered from the shock.

Originally, he thought that the adventure team was doomed, but three mysterious Undead Creatures appeared halfway.

They directly attacked the two fighting Advanced creatures and beat them into a remnant state, only a line away from death.

What was even more shocking was.

The members of that adventure team actually took the opportunity to use special alchemy items to kill those two Advanced monsters.

What kind of alchemy items could easily pierce the defenses of two monsters around Rank 90?

Forgive this old man for his ignorance.

He really hadn't seen it!

At most, he had seen the Empire's ultimate weapon — the Divine Martial Breaking Cannon.

That thing could indeed cause damage to monsters above Rank 90.

But it was huge, and every time it was used, it consumed a huge amount of magic power, which converted into gold coins was starting at millions!

And also.

Why would such evil creatures appear here?

As for whether the members of that adventure team were killed by them later, he didn't know.

Because his detection magic was discovered and destroyed afterward.

Doyle was full of worries.

Good news: The two Advanced monsters that caused this monster tide had been killed.

Bad news: It seemed that three even more terrifying Undead Creatures had come!

Boom —

A violent vibration came from the ground.

Terrifying magic fluctuations filled the sky over the entire town, and countless pale energy light waves fell from the sky like snowflakes.

They precisely hit every monster raging in the town.

The latter were already too scared to move under the terrifying pressure, and after being hit by these energy light waves, they turned into charcoal directly.

Seeing this scene, the adventurers in the town were also scared to death, fearing that they would also suffer.

But soon, they found that these attacks were not aimed at them, but at the monsters.

Just when everyone thought that some big shot from the Empire had come to rescue them, someone pointed to the sky and shouted loudly.

"Look! Is that a Bone Dragon?"

Everyone looked up one after another, only to see a Bone Dragon of astonishing size flying into the distance.

There seemed to be some... elves on its back?

On the other side.

Inside the guild, Doyle didn't know the specific situation outside.

But with his Rank 66 strength, he still sensed a terrifying aura, and his face changed drastically.

This aura... was it Undead Creatures again?!

How could Undead Creatures that were never seen in daily life suddenly appear in a bunch?

Could it be that some mutation had occurred in the depths of the maze?

Or was some evil and powerful Undead Mage born again?

A flash of confusion passed through the old man Doyle's eyes.

At this time, his Disciple also stumbled in to inform him.

"It's bad, Teacher, it... it is a Bone Dragon!"

"A Bone Dragon with a terrifying Rank has appeared in our town!"

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Doyle's pupils shrank, and he only felt darkness before his eyes.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

It's over!

The town is completely finished!

Doyle seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, slumped directly on the recliner, and asked with a trembling voice.

"So now... what are the casualties in the town?"

"If the news is correct, it is... zero casualties!"

"Zero casualties?"

"Yes, zero casualties! That Bone Dragon didn't seem to attack us; all those attacked were monsters that broke into the town."

Doyle: ?

Doyle was stunned.

Undead Creatures that brought death and destruction wherever they went actually let humans go?

Instead, the ones targeted were those 'fellow' monsters?

This is truly turning the world upside down!

The Disciple spoke again.

"By the way, Teacher, there is one more piece of news."

"Someone saw a group of people sitting on the back of the Undead Bone Dragon. They should be a group of elves!"

Doyle: ???

Elves? Undead Bone Dragon?

One is known for holiness, the other is known for death.

It can be said that they are two completely hostile races.

How were these two connected together?

Doyle was completely puzzled.
