Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

Shinku, who had transformed into human form, was somewhat unaccustomed to it and asked Yuuki in a muffled voice.

"Let's go to our base camp."

How much longer do we have to walk?

Shinku asked, and Yuuki chuckled.

Soon, a jet-black car came from afar and quickly stopped in front of the three. The door was then opened, and someone got out of the car and bowed respectfully.

"Sir, please."

Yu Xing didn't say anything, but waved to the two people behind her.

"Enter."

Yuuki went in first, leaving Shinku and Kobayashi Natsu dumbfounded. After exchanging a glance, they quickly got into the car as well.

After the three people got into the car, the driver closed the door and quickly started the vehicle.

The car sped away and disappeared from the wide-eyed pedestrians on the roadside. It wasn't until a while after the car left that people started whispering among themselves.

"It really is the young master!"

"It's a car from the World Tree Foundation. According to my seventh aunt's son's third aunt's sister, there might be some major changes within the World Tree Foundation."

"Perhaps this person is one of the victors..."

Yu Xing ignored the whispers and the three of them quickly arrived at the World Tree Foundation building by car.

Guihu had been waiting there for a while, and was somewhat surprised when he saw the two people behind Youxing.

“We’ve dealt with Shinku and Kobayashi Natsume before.”

Yuuki mentioned the two people's names, and Guihu suddenly realized who they were.

Without asking any further questions, he led Yuuki into the World Tree Foundation.

Looking at the building in front of her, which was far more imposing than her residence in Helheim, Shinku was momentarily stunned.

Gu Linxia pulled him back to his senses, and the two of them quickly followed Youxing.

Chapter 114 Old Friends

The group wasn't moving very fast, but in Shinku's eyes, it was incredibly fast.

So many novel things bombarded their eyes, and before they could even get their fill, they were taken to the third basement level.

This place used to be Lingma's laboratory, but after Lingma was imprisoned and taken into custody, it was renovated and expanded, becoming a secret base exclusively for Yuuki and the others.

Shinku and the other woman gazed at the bright, spacious apartment, looking from left to right.

The living quarters, training grounds, and experimental areas were clearly separated, but at this moment they were all empty.

"That explains why we suddenly brought up the secret base."

Guihu and Youxing had long planned to establish a base and recruit specific talents to come to this underground base, form a team, and conduct advanced training.

Now, it has finally welcomed its first batch of "students".

Shinku and Kobayashi Natsu felt a little uneasy under Guihu's gaze. The two large figures shrank back and quickly hid behind Yuuki.

"Your Majesty, this human harbors ill intentions!"

Shinku was very alert, and Yuuki's lips twitched. He gave Takatora a wink.

Soon, at Youxing's prompting, Guihu brought over a stack of books and then answered a phone call.

"It's about the contract. I'll go up first. You guys can have fun on your own."

Guihu needed to attend to his work, so he waved to Youxing, who told him to hurry up and go upstairs.

The World Tree Foundation's business development and investment are of utmost importance, as they are directly related to the situation at their headquarters.

Meanwhile, the two dominant figures had already run to the books while Youxing was chatting, curiously looking at these things.

"Your Majesty, what are these? Are they for chopping?"

Shinku was a little confused. Her hands moved faster than her brain, and before she could finish speaking, her hand had already drawn an arc in the air.

But the moment his hand touched the book, it was raised high again.

Before he could continue his downward strike, a large foot struck him squarely in the waist and abdomen, sending him flying.

The person slammed against the wall with a thud. Shinku didn't feel much pain. He got up, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"Don't mess around with this. This is for you to learn from, not for you to play with."

Yuuki pointed to the large stack of books. Shinku and Kobayashi Natsu looked at them and saw some crooked writing on them.

If they knew these characters, they would definitely recognize that the top book prominently displays the title "Complete Guide to Literacy for Primary and Secondary School Students"...

But how do we learn?

Gu Linxia asked, "We still don't know what kind of hell we'll be entering next."

"The person you're inviting will arrive soon, but you must not display any extraordinary power in front of others."

The two obeyed Yuuki's instructions and agreed in unison.

Seeing the unease in their hearts, Youxing snapped his fingers: "Don't worry, I'll stay with you for a few days, and then I'll take you on a mission."

Upon hearing Yuuki's words, Shinku and Kobayashi Natsu nodded.

Soon, the private trainer hired by the conglomerate arrived on this floor. The woman was somewhat surprised to see the two tall and imposing men in front of her.

She looked at Yuuki with some suspicion and fear, but the World Tree Foundation's offer of money was so generous that she could still resist running away.

Several ideas popped into her mind, only to be quickly dismissed one by one, until Youxing gently touched her, and she finally realized what was happening.

Feeling somewhat helpless about the woman's attitude, Youxing asked, "Are you up to it?"

If that doesn't work, he can immediately find someone else.

Yu Xing's words immediately made the woman's heart tighten. There was a reason why she dared to take on this mission: she was desperately short of money!

She happened to know another person who was short of money, which is why she was recommended to this place.

If she loses this opportunity, she'll regret it terribly.

"Yes, sir!"

After gathering her thoughts, she bowed slightly and expressed her stance to Youxing.

Yu Xing wasn't an unreasonable person, and seeing that the woman quickly adjusted her state, his expression softened considerably.

Yu Xing pointed to the two people sitting at the table fidgeting: "Your task is simple, which is to teach them the relevant content in those books."

Yuuki doesn't expect Shinku and the other two to master everything; he only hopes they can communicate with him normally in human language, otherwise they will seem out of place in the world.

The woman nodded, just about to teach the two, when she seemed to suddenly remember something and patted her head.

"Excuse me, sir, there is one more thing I need to tell you before we begin."

Yu Xing looked at the woman in front of him, somewhat bewildered. He didn't know this woman who had been invited at all.

"Mr. Toshihiko Hakuki, please give my regards to you."

The woman ignored Yuuki's expression and went ahead with the greeting, then turned and walked towards Shinku without hesitation.

She hadn't forgotten what her real mission was.

The name the woman uttered startled Youxing, and it took him a moment to recall who she was.

That was the host he met when the game "Exotic" was first released!

After the mastermind behind the scenes was revealed, Yuuki released Toshihiko Hakugi from the conglomerate and covered the medical expenses for his family.

Although this person had offended, his crime did not warrant death, and the king was lenient.

After so long, Yuxing never expected to receive a greeting from this person again.

Upon hearing this person's name, Yuuki took out his phone and started searching. Soon, he spotted Kashiwagi Toshihiko in a promotional image.

This is a promotional poster for Zeya City. In the very center is an upside-down tower, which is now the headquarters of the World Tree Foundation.

Kashiwagi Toshihiko, standing in the very center, became the only unusual sight in this picture. He held his hands high, as if he were holding the World Tree Foundation in the palm of his hand.

The intention was quite obvious, which made Yuuki smile.

Scroll past this latest poster, and the second video is a documentary about Toshihiko Kashiwagi.

After reading it from beginning to end, Yu Xing felt a sense of relief.

Letting Kashiwagi go was an absolutely correct decision; he did not make a mistake.

Now, Kashiwagi has returned to his former position as a top host, constantly sharing his past stories to inspire others.

"Life may be dark, but a hero might just fall from the sky and save you from your misery."

At the end of the documentary, when faced with a reporter's question, Toshihiko Kashiwagi crossed his arms and slowly uttered these words.

Yu Xing closed her phone and drifted off into thought.

A hero? He can hardly be considered a hero. Back then, he knew that the process of the story wasn't particularly righteous; only the ending was righteous.

"It's better to save these words for the Five Dynasties period."

Pulling her thoughts back, Yuuki looked towards Shinku and found that the two of them had already fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter what the woman said to them, they did not respond.

Enraged, Yu Xing jumped over and slapped both of them on the back. The crisp thud and intense pain made Zhen Hong and Gu Linxia look up instantly.

Before they could even get angry, they swallowed their anger upon seeing Yuuki's cold expression.

"king."

Shinku looked somewhat aggrieved: "We don't understand any of this stuff."

Shinku was complaining bitterly; if he weren't completely clueless, he wouldn't be sleeping here.

"You have to listen even if you don't understand. With your abilities, you can easily solve this problem by using your brains."

After becoming overlords, their bodies are strengthened, and their memory naturally increases significantly.

The two of them didn't understand anything they were saying. Youxing knew perfectly well that they were just two brutes who fought so much every day that their muscles had grown into their brains!

"Learn it!"
