I traveled through Genshin Impact, and there was a chat group.

It feels like it would be better to crash a spaceship into Cocolia.

Chapter 136 Platinum: Family, do you think I can survive?

"It's so annoying, why do I have to do it?!"

Inside a taxi, a woman named Kuranta was muttering to herself.

She was lying comfortably in her office when a phone call from a high-ranking official pulled her out of bed.

Now I have no choice but to take on this task.

Platinum didn't want to accept.

She was actually scared because the previous few people who took on this mission died mysteriously.

Just as Platinum was muttering to himself, four figures walked out of the arena.

"Knightly competitions are indeed fun, and they're much safer than the entertainment options in Kazdel."

Hedley followed behind the doctor, commenting on today's knightly competition.

Behind the four, a man named Felin knelt down and wept bitterly.

This guy lost everything.

The arena was naturally filled with gambling, and the guy who went all in lost, losing everything.

In Kazdel, losing is not just about losing everything.

That meant risking one's life.

"Where do we go next?"

Vishdale doesn't care about that.

She cares more about where to go.

"Let's take a taxi; maybe the driver will know what's fun in Kazimierz."

The professor quietly made a suggestion, then stood by the roadside and waved to a taxi not far away.

Platinum, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped on the gas and sped up. She rolled down the window and gave the doctor her standard business smile.

Kuranta, a middle-aged woman, was well-maintained and had the air of a social elite.

That's normal, Kazimir is Kurantado.

"Boss, where are you going?"

After a long silence, Ines suddenly raised her hands, one hand grabbing the Doctor and the other pressing down on Hadley.

She gently pinched the two of them.

The two understood immediately.

This guy in front of me has ill intentions.

Do you know any fun places to go?

Vishdale immediately asked a question.

"That's fun..."

Platinum hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door with enthusiasm!

"There really is one. Get in the car, I'll take you there!"

Hedley and Ines hesitated, but the Doctor smiled broadly.

"Okay, let's get in the car."

Although Platinum is not infected with Oripathy, every Terran person has a certain amount of Originium in their blood.

Although it was only a tiny amount of Originium, it was enough for the Doctor to take Platinum's life in an instant.

Seeing that the Doctor got into Platinum's car without any warning and even sat in the passenger seat, Ines and Hadley exchanged a glance, and finally silently got into the back seat.

The two sat in the back seat, staring intently at Platinum.

Platinum felt uneasy under their gazes.

Why are these two looking at me like I'm their father's killer?!

With a pounding heart, Platinum started the car.

"Come on, I'll take you there. This time we're going to an orange grove."

Orange Orchard?

"It's a recent development. I heard that the owner of that orchard was robbed by a group of mentally ill people. They even gave him money when they left after stealing the oranges."

"The boss suddenly had a brilliant idea and came up with this immersive orange-stealing activity."

"It's interesting that you can choose to be a guard or a thief."

Upon hearing Platinum's explanation, Ines and Hadley's expressions became quite strange.

Even Vishdel fell silent.

Why does that sound so familiar?

Walking on the familiar road, the four people in the car became increasingly silent.

They walked through here.

They even remembered having lit a campfire here before.

Upon arriving near the farm, the doctor lowered his head.

It's confirmed.

It is indeed that farm.

Kuranta is quite business-minded; it's no wonder he's from Kazimierz—they all have a business brain.

White King Kong was about to drive over when he suddenly saw the Business Federation's car.

Platinum frowned and stopped the car.

"Wait, it seems we can't go to this place."

What's wrong with these cars?

"Hey, tax collector."

"Kasimir, the gentry of the Business Federation are very good at collecting taxes."

Ursus levies a poll tax, forcing villagers to work as miners, while Kazimir levies various commercial taxes.

Platinum waved his hand dismissively.

"If I take you to other places to have fun, it will be quite troublesome if the old men of the Business Federation keep an eye on us."

White Diamond wanted to turn around, but the doctor stopped her.

"Need not."

"Drive over there."

When traveling across the mainland, one should not only focus on the positive aspects.

"Drive...drive past?"

Platinum was taken aback.

"Correct."

Platinum paused for a moment, but still drove over.

Contrary to the Doctor's expectations, who had thought this tax collection would be similar to the one he encountered in Ursus.

But this time is different.

The business association members, dressed in formal attire, began to tally up the farmer's recent profits.

Among them is the piece of pure gold that the doctor possessed.

The doctor got out of the car and pulled Vishdale to stand next to the business association members.

He looked curiously at the notebook in the man's hand.

The business association members were about to drive him away, but they shut their mouths after seeing the doctor's decorations.

The doctor's clothes look quite expensive.

Having spent so much time in the business community, he was very good at reading people and situations.

He even handed his notebook to the PhD student to make it more comfortable for the student to read.

The doctor was somewhat surprised to notice the other party's actions.

But I still watched it without feeling guilty.

In the car.

Just after the doctor fell off the car, Platinum originally wanted to get off as well.

But Hadley suddenly stopped her.

A jet-black rapier silently climbed up to Platinum's neck.

Feeling the strange force coming from his shoulder and the icy touch on his neck, Platinum silently raised his hand.

Family members.

Do you think I'll survive?

"I'll confess everything."

Ines and Hadley exchanged a glance and immediately began interrogating Platinum!

Meanwhile, the doctor's story is coming to an end.

"...Sir, after final calculation, the taxes you need to pay last month are as follows."

The man wrote a number in the notebook.
