Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 143 Unique Achievement Mission, How to Train Your Dragon (5.8k)

After fooling the curious Rush, Yuan Qingzhuo patted her head which was already spinning.

Then, he walked over to Amy, who was sitting on the ground, and stretched out his hand to him.

Amy was somewhat flattered and held Yuan Qingzhuo's hand, but she stood up on her own without much help.

He was just about to say something to Yuan Qingzhuo, and from his expression he seemed surprised that he, who had caused trouble, could be treated like this.

The one who got there before him was Yuan Qingzhuo.

Yuan Qingzhuo smiled kindly, showing his white teeth to Amy, and whispered coldly in the boy's ear:

"If you dare to say such bad words to children again, I can break your legs."

After saying that, Yuan Qingzhuo signaled with his eyes to Rush who was standing aside.

Amy was stunned for a moment, then nodded frantically...from the tone of his voice, it seemed that the Godfather of Carbon Water was not joking.

RUSH: (⊙o⊙)?

Rush scratched his head, very confused.

"Then you go back to the house, I'll go to Sister Fa's place."

Yuan Qingzhuo turned around and gently pinched Rush's little face, bringing her out of her state of confusion.

"Okay."

The latter nodded slightly, and then asked before Yuan Qingzhuo left: "Brother Zhuo, do you want me to help you get lunch in the cafeteria at noon?"

"No thanks - I'll just have an energy bar for lunch."

Yuan Qingzhuo waved his hand and left the training ground under the gaze of Rush and everyone else.

After seeing him really leave, Rush ran to Amy, who was much taller than her, and asked in a low voice but with great curiosity: "Brother, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"Forehead……"

Amy's mouth twitched.

He really wanted to slap himself a minute ago. Why was he talking so much?
At the top of the library, in front of Farandel's private room.

Yuan Qingzhuo stopped and wondered why Flandel wanted to see him at this moment. He reached out and gently tapped his knuckles three times.

"Come in."

Farandel's rather weak voice came from behind the wooden door.

Yuan Qingzhuo pushed open the wooden door and saw Flandel again, sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes.

To be honest, Yuan Qingzhuo didn't quite understand why Flandel could stay alone in the room and yet still felt so weak every day, as if she was lacking energy.

"Yuan Qingzhuo...can you make me a cup of coffee? I want sugar."

She lazily raised her eyelids, then closed her eyes and leaned back in the wheelchair that had been designed with the ergonomics in mind, as if she was asleep, taking a long, steady breath.

It seems like he doesn't want to miss any moment of rest.

"Sister Fa, why do you always look so sleepy every time I see you here?"

Yuan Qingzhuo stood on tiptoe to take out the special coffee beans, and then began to brew coffee with skillful movements.

“Knowing too much is not a good thing…” Farandelle’s voice was cold, but then she said: “But you are curious?”

"I'm just curious. It's okay if you don't tell me, Sister Fa."

The cup was half filled with pure black coffee that was so bitter that it made Yuan Qingzhuo grit his teeth. Then he threw in white sugar cubes one by one.

Until the coffee and sugar cubes together fill the entire cup.

Flandel took it and took a sip:
"It's okay to tell you about this kind of thing. You'll know it sooner or later anyway."

As Yuan Qingzhuo looked on with a hint of curiosity, Flandel raised her finger, dark spiritual fluctuations flowed through her, and miniature spells shone at her fingertips.

Then, a very realistic virtual sandbox suddenly appeared in the middle of the unusually empty room.

She said softly:

"——After arriving here, I will take over the command of the Second Abyss Front and become the acting commander-in-chief to lead the battle against the demons and corrosive species."

"Three fronts, five major war zones, more than one million soldiers, and a total of 6,532 six-member teams of the cult..."

Flandel stared at the stunned Yuan Qingzhuo, stirred the coffee with her white fingers, and then took another big sip:

"I receive all the information they send me, make judgments on all situations, and then assign command authority to subordinate commanders in a short period of time, or directly give them orders."

ha?
Yuan Qingzhuo tilted his head in surprise.

No, buddy?
——What kind of humanoid supercomputer is this, the master of all humanoid machines?

Recently, Yuan Qingzhuo often saw Farandel staying on the top floor of the library for several days at a time, so that he had to go to An Yao after he finished his energy bars.

He was originally wondering what Farandelle was doing in there and why she looked so tired...

The case is now solved.

Yuan Qingzhuo stared at the pale and tired face, remaining silent.

"Sister Fa, what do you want from me? Get it done quickly, and you can rest for a while."

But who would have thought that Farandel had taken a deep breath, sweeping away the fatigue on her face.

She straightened up and said calmly, "An hasn't come yet. As usual, I will help you answer your questions about the technique. Wait for her to come."

Yuan Qingzhuo glanced at the empty coffee cup and without saying much, handed the booklet he was carrying to Flandel.

"How to speed up the underlying logic of the spell and ensure the success rate of triggering the chain spell..."

Flandel raised his eyebrows and curled his lips at Yuan Qingzhuo, who was sitting upright and listening attentively: "This question is very simple. It is better to say that there is no question simpler than this."

"You say."

Yuan Qingzhuo took out another booklet and took out a pen in his right hand, ready to take notes at any time.

"Yuan Qingzhuo, have you not read "Detailed Explanation of Contemporary Ranks" yet?"

"Yes, because it was a bit far-fetched for me at the age of two and a half, and I thought there was no need to waste energy on it for the time being."

Yuan Qingzhuo nodded.

"Well, that's a good idea, but you got one thing wrong."

Flandre tapped his fingers on the table.
"——For a genius like you, reaching transcendence is not the distant moment of standing on the altar again in seven and a half years to pray to the gods and heroes, but something that is just around the corner."

"Sister Fa, you are too kind."

Yuan Qingzhuo coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed by her praise.

"Overly modest geniuses are disgusting, but this can actually be considered a good thing."

The Saint glanced at Yuan Qingzhuo with a rather unhappy look, and then began to popularize the most widely known supernatural knowledge in the world for him:
"First of all, you have to know that in most spells, the spiritual essence that drives it comes from the body of the caster, so let's not talk about other tricks for now, and just based on this theory, we can directly come up with a theory."

"——It has nothing to do with the total amount of spiritual essence. The higher the rank of the caster, the faster the casting speed and the higher the success rate of the casting."

"Those chain spells that are difficult to perform in the hands of the first-level [White Iron] will become extremely simple in the eyes of the second-level [Mercury]."

The tip of the pen made a rustling sound as Yuan Qingzhuo wrote down this easy-to-understand theory and two key words.

"Could you please explain these two terms in detail?"

"——Yuan Qingzhuo, you must know that there are no miracles in the souls of ordinary people, so the vast majority of them are simply unable to release the spell that represents 'miracle'."

Flandel picked up the large bottle of water under the table, gulped down two gulps, and then continued: "Then the first thing everyone has to do is to make their souls able to bear the miracle."

She looked at Yuan Qingzhuo and smiled: "Or you can be more direct and let the soul become a miracle directly, then of course you can release the spell."

"You're talking about me."

Yuan Qingzhuo responded without raising his head after taking notes.

"Yes, so you are a genius—a miraculous soul, mixed with demon blood and possessing the physique of a twin from the other side, as well as this precious reserve and self-reflection."

Yuan Qingzhuo did not answer, so Flandel continued:
"After you possess such a soul, you will hold the first promotion ceremony, step into the starting point of the path, see yourself, and achieve the first level - White Iron..."

"So, what about Mercury?"

Yuan Qingzhuo circled the words "promotion ceremony" and put a small question mark, but when he opened his mouth again, there was a knock on the door again.

"Quick forward, fast forward."

The next moment, An pushed the door open and walked in.

"——I just heard you were explaining the knowledge of rank to Yuan Qingzhuo?"

An Jianyuan Qingzhu nodded to her, then she touched his head, blinked gently and said, "Am I disturbing you? How about you finish what you are saying first?"

Farandelle shook her head.

"He is not like Caroline who is illiterate and cannot read books. He can always look up knowledge of his rank in books. You are the one with the most urgent problem."

Yuan Qingzhuo saw Flandel use the levitation technique to move the chair in the corner to her side, and then motioned for her to sit down.

An is naturally receptive to good advice.

Farandel closed his eyes and crossed his arms: "You say."

An gave a rare bitter smile, and said hesitantly, "I'm thinking about how to talk to Xiao Yuan Qingzhuo so that he can understand and accept this matter."

Yuan Qingzhuo was a little confused - is there anything that Sister An, as the abbess of the monastery, cannot do?

Could it be that a big one is coming?
But there was nothing Sister An could do about it, so this two-and-a-half-year-old kid would just be given away as a gift.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Qingzhuo spoke first: "Sister An, just tell us the situation as objectively as possible and tell us your request. If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely help."

An had never met a child who could say such words at the age of two and a half before, so he was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, okay."

An sighed helplessly, and then spent a few seconds organizing his words: "Caroline, Caroline Noah, do you know Xiao Yuan Qingzhuo?"

Caroline?
Is she the “weak and helpless but gluttonous” red dragon queen who often makes her presence felt in the carbohydrate series achievement tasks?

But that was the extent of his impression of Caroline.

Wait, Noah…?
Yuan Qingzhuo looked at An in astonishment. Before he could say anything, An answered: "It's just as you think. The relationship between Caroline and me is the same as the relationship between you, Xiao Yuan Qingzhuo, and Flandre."

"So I don't have a last name?"

Hearing Yuan Qingzhuo's doubtful murmur, Flandel opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows unhappily and spat:
"——I am an orphan without a father or a mother in a garbage dump, steamed bun, do you have any objection?"

"I have no opinion!"

Yuan Qingzhuo immediately raised his hands in surrender, and gave a bitter smile after Flandre snorted coldly.

Looking at the intimate interaction between the two, An sighed again, fiddled with his fingers and said:
"Caroline is a child who has good talent, but she doesn't like studying and has no friends. She is almost ten years old and doesn't even know how to read. She performs spells based on instinct and spends the whole day training in her room."

"I have found many teachers for her in the past, but the child looked down on them... She said those teachers were stupid and weak."

At this point, An looked up at the young Yuan Qingzhuo, and for the first time, his clear and gentle eyes showed a strong pleading and hope: "I think that both of you are geniuses beyond the cognition of ordinary people."

The nun clasped her hands:
"——So, Kiyoshi Ohara, can you try to become Caroline's teacher?"

【Ding! 】

Yuan Qingzhuo lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

In fact, the clue that flashed across his eyes caused Yuan Qingzhuo's pupils to shrink slightly.

[You have triggered the unique achievement task: How to Train Your Dragon! ]

[Mission objective: Within five years, raise Caroline Noah's favorability to "Trust".]

[Task Introduction: After you served as the 19th teacher for three hours and were kicked out of the attic by Caroline, Abbess Ann of the Holy Trinity Monastery tried to invite you to become Caroline Noah's 20th teacher.

Ann sincerely hopes that you can become Caroline's true teacher and guide her to not just stay in her own world.

Instead, go out and try to see that this world is not just about the strong and the weak. 】

[You can choose to accept or not accept this achievement task. 】

[After accepting this mission, you will be able to view anyone's impression of you during the mission, and view some of Caroline Noah's status panels.]

[Warning: This achievement quest cannot be accepted at the same time as "Hero's Shadow"! ]

Unique achievement mission!
It sounds so awesome.

Yuan Qingzhuo, who had played countless games, didn't even need to think about it - if he completed this task, the reward would definitely be huge.

But what appeared before him now was not just the achievement task of "How to Train Your Dragon".

[You have triggered the unique achievement mission: Shadow of the Hero! ]

[Mission goal: within five years, raise Caroline Noah's rank to "Core Casting".]

[Task Introduction: You rejected the invitation from Abbess Ann of the Holy Trinity Monastery and did not intend to become Caroline Noah's teacher.

Because geniuses always have their own world view and values, which cannot be changed by outsiders.

But you believe that Caroline's talents and abilities are indeed crucial to this world, so you hope to be Caroline's "shadow" and help her grow faster without interfering with her own ideas.

Allow her to redeem the world before the end of everything. 】

[You can choose to accept or not accept this achievement task. 】

[After accepting this mission, you will be able to view all of Caroline Noah's dashboards during the mission.]

[Warning: This achievement cannot be accepted at the same time as "How to Train Your Dragon"! ]

It took a short time to finish reading the two unique achievement tasks with completely different objectives, and Yuan Qingzhuo was now truly lost in thought.

The goal of How to Train Your Dragon seems to be to increase Caroline's favorability, but in fact it is for oneself to try to change Caroline's worldview, which is probably very distorted.

To teach, to guide, to make sure that Caroline would at least no longer give Ann such a headache.

"How to Train Your Dragon" - this achievement is truly worthy of its name.

Another achievement mission, "Shadow of the Hero", requires Yuan Qingzhuo to use his own experience and knowledge to simply improve Caroline's strength.

Although I don't know what the strength of [Core Casting] is, considering that Caroline was originally regarded as a genius by Flandre and myself who has cheats... I think the difficulty of this task should be lower than that of How to Train Your Dragon.

So, which one to choose?
Yuan Qingzhuo slowly raised his head and looked at An again: "Sister An, before you really make a choice, can you at least take me to meet Caroline?"

"No matter what I heard before, or how you described her to me, Sister An, I can't understand her faster than if I meet her in person."

"Ohara Kiyoshige, you are right."

An touched his heaving chest and sighed deeply: "I was too nervous. I actually wanted you to make a decision here. I'm sorry."

"Then Sister An, shall we set off now?"

Yuan Qingzhuo asked tentatively.

An quickly stood up and nodded to him: "Of course."

Then, the nun asked Flandre, who had closed her eyes again, "Flandre, are you going?"

"What can I do with this time? I might as well catch up on some sleep."

Flandel waved his hand and yawned: "Go away~"

Before following An out of the room, Yuan Qingzhuo heard a lazy voice coming from behind him.

"An, remember, as long as you bring Yuan Qingzhuo back alive, I don't care about anything else."

Why do I always have a bad feeling?

Yuan Qingzhuo looked up silently and exchanged glances with the smiling An.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyuan Qingzhuo. Caroline is still a good child at heart."

She'd better be.
.
接下来在到卡洛琳住房的一路上，安都在和他说卡洛琳虽然没朋友，爱揍人，还是文盲，但是绝对是个好孩子。

Yuan Qingzhuo's ears were almost callused from listening to it.

Why didn’t I realize that Sister An likes to nag so much before...

It seems that she really hopes that our weak, pitiful, helpless but gluttonous Miss Red Dragon can come out of her autistic state.

"That's the house in front."

An pointed to the exceptionally large three-story attic and said, which made Yuan Qingzhuo sigh a little - it was so nice to live alone, and the house was quite big.

When the two of them walked to the locked door, An first motioned Yuan Qingzhuo to stand where he was, while she walked to the door and knocked gently.

"Caroline, can you come out now?"

Instantly, Yuan Qingzhuo heard the slight panting sound coming from the attic stop, and then a mocking female voice came out through the door:

"Oh? I don't think they've found a new teacher for me again."

An was speechless for a moment, and was just about to use a new trick to trick Caroline out.

Yuan Qingzhuo suddenly raised his eyes.

laugh--!
The iron sword blade pierced through the thin wooden door in an instant. With a loud noise, a small half of the sword blade penetrated and reached An's right side, about 1.7 meters away.

The sudden movement startled An.

The next moment, the entire wooden door was forcibly pulled up from the outside to the inside by its owner, and then the sword that was wedged in it was pulled out.

The set of movements was performed smoothly, as if they had been rehearsed hundreds or thousands of times.

Under the morning sunlight, the gorgeous red hair swayed and fell like a stream of fire, and the crystal vertical pupils exuded the aura that only belonged to a top predator.

The still young dragon girl exhaled a hot breath, shouldered the iron sword, wiped the sweat from her forehead, stepped on the broken wooden door, and stared indifferently at the 1.7-meter position with her vertical pupils.

She grinned, showing her fangs:

"Hello, new teacher...?"

Halfway through her words, Caroline drew her sword and looked around blankly at Ann, stroking her chin in confusion: "Mom, there's no one here."

An patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yuan Qingzhuo was unharmed. He pointed at Caroline and said, "Little Yuan Qingzhuo, this is Caroline."

"what?"

Caroline, who was carrying a sword, scratched her hair, very puzzled:
"Who are you talking to, Mom?"

The speechless Yuan Qingzhuo finally raised his hand and said, "I'm here..."

Caroline looked in the direction of the voice and saw the little kid whose height was not even up to her waist.

After a brief silence, Caroline's loud laughter rang out, and even the iron sword flew out of her hand and fell to the ground.

She pointed at Yuan Qingzhuo and laughed:
"Hahahaha! Mom, you are sure you're letting this kid be my teacher? Do you want him to teach me how to wet the bed while sleeping? Hahaha!"

An opened his mouth, looked at Caroline, then at Yuan Qingzhuo, not knowing what to say.

Yuan Qingzhuo winked at An and motioned for me to solve it.

Then, Yuan Qingzhuo just stood there, waiting for Caroline to finish laughing before he said calmly, "Sister An asked me to be your teacher for a reason."

The dragon girl looked at him with an extremely aggressive gaze, and suddenly grinned:
"Since you are still young and haven't been frightened yet, I'll give you a chance. Come on, tell me."

"Okay."

Yuan Qingzhuo smiled, and in front of An, he spoke seriously to the disdainful Dragon Girl, enunciating each word.
"Because you are weak."

Deathly silence came suddenly.

The smile on Caroline's face disappeared. She leaned close to Yuan Qingzhuo's nose, her scarlet vertical pupils slowly shrank into a straight thin line, and asked indifferently,
"——You said I'm weak?"
