After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 637 The time to test acting skills has arrived!

The person responsible for guiding Liang He was actually the same junior apprentice who had complained in the kitchen earlier about the guards at guard number three being "inhuman"?!

Liang He, who had already shed her disguise as Aysa, glanced at the man without making a sound, and had a rough idea of ​​what was going on in her mind.

This person was probably deliberately placed in the kitchen, firstly to ensure the leader's food safety, and secondly to obtain information through the gossip in the kitchen.

Most importantly, he can set traps for suspicious people at any time, or even poison them, eliminating potential threats silently.

If that's the case, then was the apprentice's deliberate complaint about the guards and reluctance to deliver meals also a test of Liang He?
However, Liang He didn't fall for the trick, which is why she wasn't discovered.

"Ms. Lianghe, the leader is waiting for you inside."

The young apprentice followed the corridor, making several turns and going through numerous verifications, before finally leading Liang He to the hall where Droville was located.

As soon as she opened the door, Liang He saw Droville sitting at the top, with Nigrum standing behind him as always.

"Liang He, we've finally met again."

When Droville saw that Liang He had indeed kept her promise and arrived alone, a satisfied smile appeared on his face behind his mask.

To everyone's surprise, Liang He didn't buy it at all. Under everyone's gaze, she slowly walked to the seat below Droville and sat down, speaking leisurely.

"The rebels are really struggling lately. They're so short-handed that they've even brought in cooks to serve as staff?"

Liang He deliberately raised her eyebrows, looking at Droville with a half-smile, not worried at all about arousing their suspicion.

After all, she shouldn't have known about the apprentice's identity.

"How could you..."

Upon hearing this, the young apprentice looked up in shock, staring directly into Liang He's eyes, his gaze filled with unspoken confusion.

He also knew very well that it was not his place to ask Liang He in this situation.

"interesting."

Droville was taken aback at first, then chuckled and rested his elbows on his thighs, resting his chin on his hands, leaning forward and staring sharply at Liang He and the young apprentice.

"Does Ms. Liang He know Amu?"

So this young apprentice's name is Amu?

It sounds like the name of an honest child, no wonder he was sent to the kitchen as an 'undercover agent'.

Liang He shook her head casually, indicating that they did not know each other.

"I just smelled the cooking fumes on him."

On Earth, anyone who cooks often knows that if you spend too much time in the kitchen, your hair and clothes will easily get covered in cooking fumes.

Amu had been in the kitchen the whole time, helping to make late-night snacks, and was also summoned here to be a greeter. He didn't have time to wash his hair or take a shower, so Liang He could indeed smell the cooking fumes on him.

"I never expected that Ms. Liang He is not only strong in martial arts, but also has such a keen sense of smell."

Droville listened to Liang He's explanation and indeed had no doubts.

However, he took the opportunity to retaliate against Liang He's previous sharp tongue.

"A keen nose" is usually used to describe dogs, so he's clearly implying that Liang He is a dog.

"It's alright. I've always been an all-rounder, a multi-faceted warrior."

Liang He seemed completely oblivious to Droville's veiled sarcasm.

Not only was she not angry, she even took the opportunity to praise herself.

"...Hehe, indeed, I still vividly remember Ms. Liang He taking on my entire army single-handedly."

As for Liang He's later destruction of the headquarters by herself, Droville doesn't want to talk about it; it's too embarrassing.

However, he couldn't gain the upper hand in the exchange, which made Droville feel very embarrassed.

So he simply tore off the last layer of paper and exposed Liang He's identity.

"Truly worthy of being the legendary number one."

With the appearance of the word "Number One," Liang He knew that the time to test her acting skills had come.

Her deep, dark eyes suddenly fixed sharply on Droville, seemingly puzzled and wary of the revelation of her identity.

"What, are you surprised that I know your true identity?"

Seeing Liang He's reaction, Droville finally straightened up with satisfaction, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs. Droville proudly raised his chin, but his gaze was downward, a look of superiority.

He thought he had finally won a point.

“Wu Shi has been working under you all along, so it’s not surprising that you would know my identity.”

Liang He feigned composure after suddenly realizing something.

When she brought up the witch's arrow, Droville responded with the expected composure, without giving it any further thought or doubt.

Even if there are bugs, his arrogance will automatically fix them; that's how the legendary self-mastery works.

“That’s right, it was indeed Wuya who told me that you were his first test subject.”

Remembering the power of Subject 3, Drovell suddenly became very curious about what abilities Liang He, as Subject 1, possessed.
When Lan Zhuo proposed the collaboration, he told him that Liang He could control ferocious beasts and even enhance their strength, as well as that of beastmen; she was the true Beast Goddess.

But what you hear is false, and what you see is true.

Deroville wanted to personally verify Liang He's abilities, assess her strength and value, and ultimately maximize his benefits.

"You took Number Two away because you recognized them, right?"

After Liang He destroyed the rebels' old headquarters, she took Liang Jia, number two, with her. This meant that she already knew that the black wizard was Wu Shi, so Drovell was not surprised by her conversation today.

"Yes."

Liang He had nothing to deny about this.

"But none of that matters. Where is Lan Zhuo?"

Liang He didn't have time to keep acting with him.

Since Droville has been dodging the question, why not let her break the ice and get straight to the point?

"Haha, you really care about him."

Lan Zhuo is right. Liang He's weakness is also obvious: she cares too much about the people around her.

Little did she know that someone had already betrayed her in secret, and she foolishly went to rescue people all by herself.

Droville didn't know whether to praise her kindness or laugh at her naivety.

He was extremely curious about Liang He's expression when she learned the truth and discovered Lan Zhuo's betrayal.

"Someone, bring him here."

Similarly eager, Drovell had 'Lan Zhuo' made his entrance.

This body double, initially arranged by Drovell to replace Lan Zhuo, was later replaced by Elius by Liang He, becoming a double's double, and thus was sent onto the 'stage'.

Elius, disguised as Lan Zhuo, immediately became emotional upon seeing Liang He.

"Liang He, don't worry about me, get out of here quickly!"

Bound up, Elius twisted and struggled with all his might, roaring at the top of his lungs. Drovell couldn't help but think to himself, "What great acting!"

Once this is all over, he will definitely reward this 'actor' and train him, as he might come in very handy in the future.

"Lan Zhuo, don't be afraid, I will definitely get you out of here."

Faced with Lan Zhuo's emotional breakdown, Liang He almost couldn't keep up with his performance.

Is Lan Zhuo usually this 'crazy'?
I always felt that Elius had tarnished Lan Zhuo's reputation.

Lan Zhuo: Thanks for the invitation. I was in the rebel army, and a pot fell from the sky, ruining my reputation overnight.

Although Liang He was inwardly complaining, she didn't show it on her face.

Even after immersing herself in the characters and the storyline, she still gave the right response.

"Drovel, what do you want?"

According to typical kidnapping plots, the negotiation stage should have begun. Liang He was worried that Elius would get too into character and actually lose his voice, so she quietly sped up the pace.

And Droville seemed to be a little annoyed by the noise pollution from 'Lanzhuo', so he smiled in agreement.

"I want you."

　Elius: I feel very safe and secure.
