On the Ark.

"Speak," Lin Ye said, raising his knife with eager anticipation. "Where do you want me to cut?"

Lappland glared at Lin Ye: "You still want to kill me?"

"No, why would I kill you?" Lin Ye said. "Have you forgotten what you just said? If I'm willing to cut myself once, then you're willing to let me cut you once too. I've already cut myself many times, so cutting you once now isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Lappland's expression immediately became complicated. After all, these were words she had spoken just minutes before, and it wasn't easy to deny them. However, seeing Lin Ye's expression as if he wanted to kill her, and recalling the scene when Messiah fought her with this sword, Lappland still wanted to back out.

What? You mean reputation?

In other books, Lappland is a character who would have been killed early on after wandering the Terran world for so many years. The reason she has been able to survive until now in her crazy state is simply because she is shameless.

To survive, they've abandoned all sense of shame; what does reputation matter? Ridiculous.

Lin Ye realized that Lappland was trying to renege on her promise, so he quickly put down his knife and said, "I wasn't really going to cut you. I was just going to lightly scratch your skin like before. For a strong and handsome warrior like you, this little injury shouldn't be a big deal."

Powerful and handsome?

Lappland's ears twitched, and this subtle detail was noticed by the observant Lin Ye. He continued to coax her, "Think about it, this is the Blade of God! How many people in the world dare to take the Blade of God head-on? Afterwards, you can tell everyone that even the Blade of God only left a small cut on your hand. Can anyone else do such a feat? Can Texas do it?!"

Lappland's eyes lit up immediately.

“You’re right.” She swished her tail rapidly. “Can Texas do what I can do?”

“Yes, yes.” Lin Ye nodded repeatedly. “Can Texas do it? What makes Texas think it can compare to you?”

"Oh! Come on then!" Lappland rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her hand. "Let me see how sharp the Blade of God is."

Seeing Lappland's smugly outstretched hand, Lin Ye felt a pang of guilt, as if he'd been fooling a complete idiot. Whether it was a distortion of humanity or a moral decay, he couldn't say for sure.

But it would be great if I could do the experiments myself.

Lin Ye raised [Maple] again, but perhaps it was the "divinity" of [Maple] that affected Lappland, pulling her out of her excitement of "Can Texas do this?" She subconsciously pulled her arm back, then looked at Lin Ye warily: "Why do I feel like you're trying to fool me?"

"Where did I lie to you?" Lin Ye said without changing his expression. "Someone as smart as you, would you be fooled by a quack like me?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lappland realized that it was indeed true, since she considered herself much smarter than Lin Ye.

“Hey, I’m willing to cooperate with your experiments,” Lappland said, “but you’re not going to use that as an excuse to cut off my hand, are you?”

"Of course not, what are you thinking?" Lin Ye was speechless. "How could I be so immoral? No, this can't even be explained by immorality. If I really did that, you can just cut off my head, anyway, I can't beat you."

"Then why..."

"I just wanted to conduct an experiment." Lin Ye still told Lappland his speculation, "Eileen can't use this knife to commit suicide, and I can't use this knife to hurt myself, so I just wanted to see if [Maple] is incapable of hurting people, that's all."

"You mean that the Felin can't hurt himself either?" Lappland immediately relaxed. "That's good. If neither you nor the Felin will be harmed by this knife, then I certainly won't either."

"Really? So, why don't you give it a try?"

"bring it on."

Now that she was certain she wouldn't be harmed by [Maple], Lappland had no more worries. Her mind was now filled with thoughts of how to bring this up when she next saw Texas. After all, Texas was still working as a delivery person at Penguin Logistics, while Lappland was already fighting the god Kjerag, and even the God's Blade couldn't hurt her. She really needed to make a good impression…

While Lappland was immersed in her fantasy world, Lin Ye had already placed [Maple] on her arm. Adhering to the principle that the first time should be gentle, Lin Ye only used a very small amount of force.

With a "plop" sound.

【Maple】's blade sank into Lappland's arm without any resistance, as smoothly as cutting tofu.

Lin Ye was stunned.

Lapland was also stunned.

Neither of them reacted at first, remaining silent for about three seconds until blood gushed out like a small fountain.

"Aaaaaah!" Lappland roared in anguish, "My hand, my hand is going to break!"

"Calm down, calm down!" Lin Ye quickly pulled out [Maple]. "It's just a little blood, it's still within my calculations."

"Is this what you call 'just a little bit of blood'?" Lappland was going crazy. "The blood is gushing out! The blood is gushing out!"

"...Hmm, it might have cut an artery, but it's okay. Don't get too excited. I have a band-aid here." Lin Ye hurriedly pulled out a small band-aid. "Don't move around. I'll put it on for you right away."

"How can you use something so small!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just stick three on... Hey, don't bite me! Nobody wants this to happen!" Soon, Lin Ye also let out a scream, "Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Because in a fit of rage, Lappland grabbed his arm and bit down on it.

After the chaos, Lappland had three band-aids on her arm, while Lin Ye had a ring of bloody teeth marks on his arm. Lin Ye looked at his arm, sighed, and wondered if Rhodes Island had a rabies vaccine.

However, Lappland was still furious: "Why did this happen?!"

"What? Why is this happening?"

"Didn't you say so?" Lappland stared fiercely at the [Maple] in Lin Ye's hand. To protect his only divine weapon, Lin Ye had to hide it behind his back. "That Felin tribe member used this knife, and you used it too, but neither of you were injured. They couldn't even pierce the skin! Why did it turn out like this when it came to me?"

"This kind of thing... is hard for me to explain to you."

Lappland didn't need Lin Ye's explanation. After thinking for a while, she came to her answer. Looking in the direction of the Holy Mountain, she suddenly jumped up and said through gritted teeth, "It's her, it must be her!"

"You mean the Messiah?"

"It's definitely that girl! She's deliberately targeting me!" Enraged, Lappland drew her sword. "I can't take it anymore! I'm going to find her and fight her to the death!"

With that, he strode off to leave.

Lin Ye didn't move, only saying, "You can't beat her anyway." Lappland stopped, turned around and glared fiercely at Lin Ye: "You, what nonsense are you spouting... what rumors are you spreading? How could I possibly not be able to beat her?"

"Oh, then go ahead." Lin Ye didn't try to stop Lappland.

Of course, his words were essentially a way of stopping Lappland, and Lappland wasn't stupid... no, not entirely stupid either. After her anger subsided, she realized that going to find Messiah again was unrealistic. Leaving aside the fact that she couldn't fight him, just running away would take two days, and going there specifically to get beaten up would be too foolish.

But she couldn't let this anger go unresolved, so she set her sights on Lin Ye's [Maple].

Lin Ye immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"

Lappland said, "I don't think this is right. You and that Felin were both cutting yourselves with that knife. It was only when it came to me that you started it. That doesn't make sense!"

"...So what do you want?"

Lappland exclaimed, "I want to try it myself!"

"Huh?" Lin Ye was taken aback. "You want to try again?"

"What do you mean 'try again'? The last time was wrong to begin with!" Lappland rushed towards Lin Ye and snatched [Maple] away. "This time, let me do it myself!"

Lin Ye couldn't win against Lappland, so he had no choice but to let her have her way.

However, when Lappland pulled out [Maple] and placed it on her wrist, she suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she became even angrier.

"Wait, why did I let this broken knife cut me twice?!"

Chapter 277 What kind of broken knife is this?

After realizing she might have been tricked by Lin Ye, no matter how Lin Ye tried to persuade her... no, no matter how much Lin Ye tried to convince her, Lappland refused to use herself as a test subject anymore. This left Lin Ye quite helpless, after all, the experiment wasn't finished yet.

However, when he suggested to Lappland that he use himself as a testing ground, Lappland readily agreed, appearing quite eager to try. After all, Lin Ye had previously stabbed her; even if Lin Ye hadn't brought it up, she would have found a way to "bleed" him dry to vent her anger. Now that Lin Ye had brought it up himself, it was as if her wish had been fulfilled.

Although he felt that [Maple] might not be able to hurt him, Lin Ye was still a little worried seeing Lappland's eager look. Wouldn't it be too unfair if he were accidentally killed by Lappland? Therefore, just to be on the safe side, he still wanted to make a three-point agreement with Lappland.

Lappland, however, seemed impatient: "Why are you dawdling like this? I didn't say this much when you were cutting me earlier."

"I didn't cut you at all. Don't slander me for no reason," Lin Ye said. "I just lightly scratched your arm, and this is what happened."

Lappland looked coldly at Lin Ye and uttered a "heh heh".

This left Lin Ye feeling rather helpless. He could only say to Lappland, "Don't forget, your internship agreement is still in my hands. If you hurt me, you might not be able to get a permanent position."

This threat caused Lappland's expression to change slightly: "Despicable!"

"This is despicable? Why are you reacting so strongly? Did you really intend to kill me with a knife?"

Lappland's tail thrashed wildly as she said, "How could that be? There's never been such a thing. You're overthinking it."

Lin Ye was speechless, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves again and extend them in front of Lappland, saying, "Go ahead and do it."

He originally wanted to remind Lappland to be gentle, but then thought it would be too weak to say such a thing, so he held back. He thought that after he gave [Maple] to Lappland, Lappland would act quickly, but to his surprise, after waiting for a long time, Lappland did not move. Instead, she looked around as if she was looking for something.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

Lappland replied, "I'm looking for stones."

"Looking for stones?" Lin Ye was even more puzzled. "Why would you look for stones?"

"Sharpening the knife."

Lin Ye almost bit his tongue.

"Damn it, are you going to kill me today?" Lin Ye couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Give me back my knife if you keep dawdling!"

Lappland pursed her lips and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​finding a whetstone.

“Here I come,” Lappland said.

"Okay." Lin Ye nodded, then raised his hand, closed his eyes, and avoided looking at Lappland. "You can do it."

"I'm really here."

"Come on in."

"I am coming."

"You're so annoying, just do it already!" Lin Ye snapped.

Lappland was furious: "I've already tried! I've tried several times already! How come this damn knife can't even scratch a layer of skin!"

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and saw that Lappland was indeed rubbing [Maple] rapidly against his arm, almost like she was cutting leeks. But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Ye wouldn't have felt it at all.

"What kind of crappy knife is this!" Lappland, unable to contain herself any longer, slammed [Maple] into the ground. "It cut me so smoothly, but it couldn't even scratch you! Isn't this targeting me? Wait, this is definitely targeting me!"

Lappland grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally blamed the Messiah, who was far away on the holy mountain. It must be her, it had to be her, no one else would do such a despicable thing.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, Lappland drew her knife again and turned to leave.

"I can't take it anymore! I'm going to the Holy Mountain to chop that goddess down! Nobody can stop me!"

She walked all the way to the door.

She had expected Lin Ye to stop her, to tell her something like, "Give up, you're no match for God," but to her surprise, Lin Ye did nothing. She was almost out of the temple when Lin Ye still hadn't come up to stop her.

So she stopped and looked back.

They found Lin Ye still standing there, looking at the [Maple] in his hand, lost in thought.

She coughed twice.
