"Ahhh, this math is so difficult, what should I do?"

Little Lyle, who was left alone to take the exam, wailed loudly, hoping to arouse someone's sympathy with his sincere eyes.

"Heh, why didn't you think of today when you threw away your homework books?"

You little rascal, you don’t study hard and make trouble all day long. I’m going to mess with you!

Lin Wei sneered twice, showing no sympathy at all.

"I didn't throw away my homework books. The supplies are very precious!"

Little Lyle defended himself loudly, but then his voice got quieter and his expression became more embarrassed.

"I just...torn off a few pages...that's all."

I felt aggrieved and unlucky. How could it be such a coincidence that he picked me up?

"Snapped!"

Lin Wei rolled the test paper into a tube and tapped him on the head gently. You’re still feeling aggrieved, aren’t you?

"Since I am very dissatisfied with your performance, I will not give you this thing."

Lin Wei pulled out a large sniper scope from a bag nearby and waved it back and forth in front of little Lyle.

This is the real thing that Lin Wei disassembled from a real gun at the Criminal Police Team’s ruins!

Unlike the lingering cheap texture of toy models, the unique tough color of engineering plastic immediately attracted the little boy's full attention. He stared at it with eager eyes.

"Want it?"

Lin Wei showed a devilish smile, and little Lyle nodded rapidly.

"Then do the questions well!"

Lin Wei frowned and glared at him. "When you're done, give the test paper to Xiao Kong for checking. We'll talk about it after you pass it."

Then he wandered away, still muttering,

"How can you be a sniper with such poor math grades? Can you calculate the lead time? Can you calculate the wind speed and direction and ballistic attenuation? When this shot is fired, wow... the scene is so beautiful that I dare not even imagine it."

Leaving little Lyle alone in the room in a daze.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already March and Lin Wei had already lived in this small shelter for a month.

The weather should have been gradually getting warmer, but due to the unique climate environment of Changkong City, it was still so gloomy and cold, with no signs of improvement, and it was filled with a "no entry" atmosphere.

Lin Wei observed the children gathered here and they did not feel that life here was hard.

On the one hand, having experienced truly horrific disasters, they are actually very mature and contented;

On the other hand, these children know that Raven has been working hard to take them to a better new home to welcome a new life and bid farewell to this homeland filled with pain and nightmares.

Looking at these innocent eyes full of hope, Lin Wei could only sigh, ruffle their hair, and then offer a tiny blessing.

The child is innocent.

Lin Wei walked up to the platform again, stood by the wall, and looked in a certain direction. All kinds of thoughts were churning and tangled in his mind, and he couldn't calm down.

During this period, he often came back here, doing this action, looking in this direction, and thinking about the same thing.

"Brother Lin Wei, you are here again!"

A soft and weak girl's voice came from behind, interrupting all of Lin Wei's complicated thoughts. She turned around and smiled.

"Xiaokong, are you here to see the scenery too?"

"Um, no...I just...I want to ask you for help with something..."

Xiaokong seemed a little embarrassed, rubbing the corner of his clothes nervously with his little hands.

Lin Wei smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Tell me what's going on."

A week ago, Raven saw that I got along well with the children and had slowly adapted to life in the wasteland of Changkong City, so she asked me to look after the children in the shelter for a few days as she had to go out for something, and left in a hurry.

Therefore, it is only natural for these children to ask me for help when they have problems.

Encouraged by Lin Wei, Xiao Kong expressed his demands.

"Brother Lin Wei, I think you are right. The children in the shelter also need to learn cultural knowledge. After all, they will have to return to human society and start their lives anew in the future... But the brothers and sisters in the 'Nest' are some of them older and some are too young. The teaching materials we have collected now are not suitable for them..."

"I don't think this is a good idea. The younger children are playing while the older ones are studying. This is not fair. Over time, conflicts may arise... So, I would like to ask Brother Lin Wei to accompany me to look for something farther away. See if we can find some more suitable things, even some storybooks..."

Xiaokong felt that his request was a bit abrupt, and his voice was quite embarrassed.

"I should have told the teacher about this, but she has already given so much for us, I feel embarrassed to cause her more trouble... After thinking it over, I had no choice but to ask Brother Lin Wei for help..."

The logic is smooth, the reasons are sufficient, and the emotions are sincere.

But listening to Xiaokong's weak request, Lin Wei still felt something was odd -

What's up with this déjà vu feeling of NPC assigning tasks?

"Brother Lin Wei, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Kong felt a little strange when he saw Lin Wei looking around.

"Ah, it's okay."

Lin Wei put away the weird idea of ​​"getting the same treatment as Yayi and Xier".

"Xiaokong is such a sensible child."

Lin Wei praised Xiao Kong with a sigh, and then ruffled the hair of the embarrassed girl.

"How about this, we divide the work. You are the older sister, so you stay and take care of your younger siblings. I am a boy, I am strong and can run fast, so I will go outside to look for things and bring back what you need."

"OK then."

Xiao Kong wanted to fight for it, but then he remembered that Lin Wei came back with the teacher, so he thought about it and nodded.

"Well, thank you for your help, Brother Lin Wei. Be careful on the road, I will wait for you in the nest."

After Lin Wei comforted the girl, he sent her back to the shelter and set off "with a mission".

Standing on a high place overlooking the city, Lin Wei planned his route. He was not familiar with this "city where he had lived".

He first looked in the direction he had been looking at. There was a tall twin tower, standing in the distance as the landmark of Changkong City, vaguely visible in the mist.

It has a name: ME Club.

Lin Wei took another look at that place, sneered, and ruled out this route.

Then, head towards another landmark of the Nine Items - the Changkong Wall, searching along the way, and return when you have collected enough. If it is still not enough when you reach the foot of the wall, then continue towards the third landmark - Qianyu Academy.

After finalizing his idea, Lin Wei firmly remembered his current location and drew a "three-point positioning" coordinate map in his mind, as well as a "three-point and one-line" route map based on this to prevent himself from getting lost.

Go downstairs and set off.

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment at the wall, but finally gave up the absolutely efficient way of traveling that Fu Hua had taught him, and chose to climb the stairs honestly.

Your life is important, don’t waste it!

Lin Wei timidly warned himself that he couldn't compete with those reckless people who were used to taking risks!

Go downstairs and search along the dilapidated road.

Primary schools are easy to find; just walk in the direction of any community and you can easily find the associated school.

After picking out some well-preserved textbooks and buying some stationery and storybooks from a small store outside the school, Lin Wei picked up the huge package that was stuffed full and continued to move on to the next target, looking for a middle school.

Lin Wei's training results over the past month have been quite effective; Yaezakura has also replaced Sakura and Hua in Paradise as the instructor to supervise his own training.

Well, quite strict.

Therefore, the journey was quite peaceful. If he encountered a lone assassin, Lin Wei could easily deal with him. If he encountered a lone small Honkai beast, Lin Wei could also deal with it with a little manipulation.

When encountering groups of death warriors and Honkai beasts, Lin Wei can use the Key of God to solve them more easily.

Just like this, walking and stopping, stopping and searching, searching and fighting, fighting and walking.

The sun began to set in the west, and because of the thick clouds in the sky, it got dark quickly in Changkong City.

Looking at the entire cart filled with teaching materials, books and toys at his feet, Lin Wei decided to go back.

If it's any later, the children might get worried.

Having made up his mind, Lin Wei looked up at the location of ME Club and Changkongbi, identified the direction, and prepared to return.

"and many more."

The cold voice suddenly sounded in his heart, causing Lin Wei to stop and prepare to start fighting.

"Be careful, there are enemies around..."

Yaezakura reminded her.

Chapter 11: The Final Mission

The raven's "arrival as expected" confirmed Lin Wei's guess, but it did not make him feel much sense of accomplishment. Instead, he felt a little depressed.

In fact, Lin Wei still hoped from the bottom of his heart that this was just a coincidence and that he was just a clown who thought too much.

But unfortunately...

What a series of calculations! Lin Wei sneered in his heart.

Let me leave from the headquarters of the "World Snake" and let me go lightly. In the vast North African desert, can I really leave alone except by asking for help from ravens?

Do you really think he can't see that there was something wrong with that small town?

The town was too quiet, just like an ordinary rural area. Lin Wei felt out of place no matter how he looked at it.

If it really is a normal town, then since the snakes in your world have already arranged it this way, even if it is just a disguise, you have to make it a tourist city. That's reasonable, right?

After all, there is such a big pyramid nearby!

Although he had reached a gentleman's agreement with Gray Snake at that time, Lin Wei, having sensed the discord, chose not to take risks. If something unpleasant really happened, he was afraid that he would not even be able to be friends with him.

There's no harm in being a little more cautious.

Therefore, he needed to rely on the raven's hand to leave the World Serpent, and the World Serpent used the raven to keep him in sight throughout the whole process. The two sides ran in both directions until today's farce happened.

But what do they want? Hasn’t the Gray Snake already rejected them?

An absurd thought came to Lin Wei’s mind—could it really be an “observation period” or “entry assessment”?

Aren't you afraid of angering yourself?

"Don't you have anything to say?"

With a teasing smile on his pale lips, Lin Wei stared straight at Raven's scarlet eyes hidden under the hood, too lazy to be polite with her.

"Ms. Sciora, should I call you 'Natasha' or 'Raven'?"

How are you going to talk to me?

Lin Wei hates the feeling of being teased.

"Hey? Your strength has recovered well. You even have the energy to criticize."

Raven carefully examined Lin Wei's face and confirmed that he was normal. Then he expressionlessly let go of his hand and took two steps back. He walked to the mountain-like tall, yet scarred and extremely miserable corpse of the Honkai beast, and exclaimed in amazement.

"I never realized that you have such a serious tendency towards violence? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm really curious, what on earth did you experience in the paradise?"

Lin Wei didn't reply, but just looked at Raven with a look that said "go ahead".

"...Don't look at me like that, okay? I'm a mercenary after all. Mercenaries, you know, it's only natural to get paid to do something. Hey, hey...you don't really think I'm a good person, do you?"

"I don't know if you are a good person, but I certainly don't think of you as a bad person."

Lin Wei sheathed the scarlet demon sword and felt his strength recovering rapidly. The medicine that Raven had injected into him just now should be good.

"Tell me, is your employer this time World Snake? Didn't you say you had already resigned? How come you were rehired so soon?"

Lin Wei's tone was joking, and he emphasized the word "mercenary", making it sound like sarcasm or a casual joke.
