I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Damn, I forgot Mudrock was wearing very little...

Mudstone was only wearing a vest on his upper body, and the same attire was worn on his lower body, only a pair of thin sports shorts. Half of his fair and round thighs were exposed, almost blinding Viego.

What a sinister tactic, what a white and innocent evil!

Almost comparable to Ines...

Viego stopped his thoughts that were slowly sliding into the abyss in time, so as to prevent himself from recalling the smooth and rich feel again.

——If you keep thinking about it, you will become obsessed with legs.

This girl is dressed so coolly, and walking on the street she might be as attractive as the tall and mighty man in power armor - after all, beauties and mechas are both men's favorites.

Mudstone closed the car door, took just two steps and then stopped, standing beside the car with his head slightly lowered.

Viego noticed her abnormality: "Mud Rock, what's wrong?"

“No, it’s okay!” Mud Rock shook his head, his face slightly red: “It’s just that I’m a little...uncomfortable.”

Viego followed her gaze downwards and saw Mudstone walking barefoot on the ground, then he suddenly understood.

As if sensing Viego's gaze, her round and smooth toes curled up slightly in shyness, and even her fair skin seemed to turn slightly pink.

"Don't you have a pair of shoes and socks or something in the car?" Viego looked away.

"No..." Mudstone lowered his head and whispered awkwardly: "The power armor is too stuffy, wearing socks will...smell..."

Viego noticed that the girl's earlobes were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, so he tactfully stopped asking.

He was afraid that the embarrassed and shy beautiful warrior girl would hit him to the ground with a hammer - after seeing W and Ines, Viego would never take any Sarkaz female mercenary lightly again.

Don't look at Mud Rock's innocent and shy appearance now. If he really thinks that others are shy when they are with him like a low-browed man, and continues to feel good about himself and make inappropriate jokes about such things...

Then I'm afraid the upper head will be hit by a hammer on the "lower head".

Besides, he is not a foot fetishist or a foot bar guy, so he won't get excited when he hears such a topic.

Mudstone calmed his heated cheeks and ears, and walked towards Viego. "I'm fine now, Viego... Let's go."

"Uh..." Viego felt a little sorry as he watched Mudstone's white and smooth feet stepping on the rough ground. "How about I carry you on my back?"

"No, thank you." Mudstone shook his head in refusal, his posture returning to normal.

It was just that she seldom took off her power armor on the street like she was doing now, and the floor of the Scar Mall was quite rough, so she was a little uncomfortable at first.

But to say that she was so delicate that she felt uncomfortable even taking a few steps and was unwilling to walk on her own? That was definitely not the case.

After all, Mudstone is also a mercenary who has experienced the harsh and difficult environment in the wilderness. He will not stop because of the current difficulties.

"Okay, then let's go find an empty car on the street, drive over, put on our armor, and we can go." Viego nodded, putting away the slight regret in his heart...

Wait, what am I regretting?

I'm not a foot fetishist.

Viego suddenly woke up, slapped himself twice in his heart, and kept repeating to himself that he was not a foot fetishist.

Viego walked out of the alley with Mudstone, glanced sideways at the white-haired girl in bright clothes beside him, hesitated for a moment, and controlled the black mist to disperse, which covered Mudstone's body like a pitch-black cloak, completely obscuring his proud figure.

Mudstone lowered his head and looked at the black mist covering him with some surprise. "Is this... your Originium technique?"

She remembered that when Viego drew his sword and killed the shadow demon in the inn, there was such a dark mist lingering around him.

"Yes." Viego nodded without explaining further.

He can't say that this is not an Originium skill, but the power of the curse on me.

He doesn't mind telling Shining and the others about this, but as for Mudstone... Viego is still worried about her.

The two men came to the street, and Viego picked out an SUV with a lot of dust on the hood. The dust meant that the car had been parked there for a few days, so there was no need to worry that the owner would come out and find that his car was gone just after he drove away.

The vehicles at Scar Mall don't seem to have any high-end technology like electronic locks or sensor locks. They are unlocked purely by keys, and most of the cars have old-fashioned mechanical structures, which makes it convenient for Viego.

The black mist spread out and quickly flowed into the car under Viego's control. It condensed slightly and with a light hook, it easily opened the door.

Viego got into the car with Mudstone and followed the same steps to start the ignition - fill the keyhole with black mist, then poke and turn it gently.

As expected, it was the ability that the players in the previous life called the most potential for a minotaur... It can unlock doors, force binding, and mind manipulation. Viego was thoughtful.

In fact, he had never thought that the black fog could be used to sneak into doors and unlock them. After all, in his original understanding, the black fog was just a tangible but intangible "fog".

——Until he defeated Shining that time, he subconsciously used black mist to bind it... and restricted it!

Only then did Viego realize that the black fog was not just "fog". Its essence was an extension of the power of the Curse of Ruin. The fog was only its external form, not its essence.

Viego stepped on the accelerator and thought to himself: Quality is good, but without quality it won’t work.

He drove into the alley and watched the beautiful white-haired warrior girl in the passenger seat get out of the car. She easily took the large piece of power armor off the SUV and stuffed it into the trunk.

"..." Viego closed the car door silently and stopped trying to help.

You said you can pull out a weeping willow tree with one hand... why are you still wearing such a bulky old-fashioned power armor?

Originally, Viego called Mudstone a beautiful warrior simply because she was wearing a set of mighty, heavy and solid armor.

Now Viego says she is a beautiful strong girl because she really is a beautiful strong girl.

——The kind that can pull out a weeping willow tree with one hand.

Chapter 97 Are you secretly saying that I’m average?

"Is this what you call... the prey has been caught?" A cold male voice came from the communicator:

"Because of your words, the others wasted an hour searching the entire area, but only found an empty car! I should have told you that even if you confirm that the enemy has entered the network, you must follow him and keep a close eye on him!"

Cold sweat dripped down Sarkaz's cheeks. "I'm sorry, Major, but I did see the car turn right and enter the town block where we set the trap. I didn't expect it to escape from under our noses..."

"......" There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a long while, until Sarkaz's cold sweat could not stop flowing, and then a voice finally rang out:

"Forget it. It was just a test. It doesn't matter if we fail. The team that set up the checkpoint didn't find any trace of the man. He should have escaped. Come back with your people."

Sarkaz was immediately pardoned: "Yes!"

The major's voice was cold and hard, filled with iron-blooded murderous intent: "Humph... The true outcome will be determined on the battlefield!"

......

"We just... got out like this?" Mudstone looked back at the makeshift checkpoint behind him with confusion in his eyes.

Although the people from Scar Mall set up temporary checkpoints at several major intersections, they were actually very perfunctory.

Just now, her and Viego's car was stopped, and Niyan almost thought they were going to be exposed. However, the other party didn't even check the trunk, but just casually looked at the back seat and asked where they were going.

Viego replied: "I just finished my business at the hotel... I'm sending someone back."

Then the Sarkaz looked at her, gave them a knowing smile, and let them go.

Just like that! Let them go! It's over!

How could it be so easy? Mudstone was puzzled, and even subconsciously thought that the enemy had set a trap ahead.

But Viego didn't seem to think so. He was very calm and not panicked at all.

"Why, you find it incredible?" Viego smiled and glanced at the dazed Sarkaz girl in the passenger seat. "Don't look back, let's talk as we go - our destination is 'Bridge Hole', how do we get there?"

"Turn right at the next intersection, and then go straight..." Mudstone looked at Viego in confusion: "Viego, I don't understand..."

"Because the people who set up the checkpoints are from Scar Mall."

Mudstone frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Viego with a clear and ignorant look:

"...what?"

Didn't understand.

Of course, she could see that the people setting up the checkpoints came from the forces that governed the city, but what did that have to do with their perfunctory attitude?

Viego glanced at her again and met the same clear gaze as those of the college students in his previous life.

This girl...after taking off her armor, she doesn't look very smart in person. Why?

"Because Scar Mall can't put all its chips on Tracys. This time, the coalition forces seem to be Tracys's attempt to deal with me alone, but in fact it is still a fight between the Royal Court and Babel Tower. Whether we or the coalition forces, we are just pawns."

Viego explained:

"Scar Mall is such a big industry, it is impossible for it to put all its chips on Tracy when the two forces are almost the same. Otherwise, if Babel wins, won't it be liquidated afterwards?"

Mudstone itself was not stupid. She didn't understand before because she didn't understand these so-called political struggles and positions. After Viego explained the interests behind them, she gradually came to her senses:

"So...they set up checkpoints but didn't conduct thorough inspections? Well, turn left at the next intersection."

"Yes." Viego nodded.

"Another reason is that the movements of the coalition forces are no secret. Anyone who is not an idiot should understand that those who need such a large army to deal with cannot be weak. Therefore, most people will not really want to find us."

"I see..." Mudstone nodded thoughtfully.

Twenty minutes later.

"This is it, Residential Street No. 06." Mudstone looked out the car window.

You have arrived at your destination, and the Mud Rock navigation has ended. Welcome to use it next time...

Viego gathered his scattered thoughts, found Building 27 that Kal'tsit mentioned on the phone, parked the car and turned off the engine. "This is it, get out."

He paid attention to the surrounding environment. The surrounding area was full of independent three- and four-story buildings, similar to the independent community buildings in European and American countries in his previous life. Each household had a building, and there were cars parked in groups of three or two on the street.

Viego didn't find the car that Babel gave him. Maybe the Shining disguised it or hid it...

As expected of the Shining, he was considerate and thorough. Viego was satisfied, then he opened the door and got out of the car, walked forward with Mudstone, and knocked on the door of Building 27.

After waiting for a while, a strange young female voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?"

"Dr. Kal'tsit's friend." Viego replied.

The door opened, and a girl with white hair, red eyes and pointed ears appeared in front of Viego.

She looked Viego and Mudstone up and down with a strange and subtle interest in her red eyes.

"...?" Viego felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him.

Kal'tsit's friend...isn't she a female hooligan?

There is a subtle feeling that I am being watched [beep——].

——Don't get me wrong, this refers to the leadership inspection.

"...Come in." The pointy-eared girl gave a strange smile and stepped aside.

Viego and Mudstone looked at each other.

Mudstone saw the hesitation in Viego's eyes.

Viego saw the doubt in Mudstone's eyes.

It seemed that neither of them wanted to go in.

Viego wondered if he had found the wrong house, or if Kal'tsit had been teased by him and was so confused that she gave the wrong house number?

But the next moment, he saw Gwen poking his head out of the room.

"Looks like this is it." Viego sighed softly, pulling the slightly frowning Mudstone past the pointy-eared girl and into the house. "Let's go in."

With the door behind him closed, Viego looked at the eerie and messy corridor inside the house, feeling as if he had walked into a haunted house or a secret room.

After taking two steps, Viego released his hand and motioned Mudstone to go forward to find Gwen and the others. He turned around and looked at the pointy-eared girl who was leaning against the wall of the corridor with her arms folded across her chest, obviously having something to say.

but...

"..." Viego's gaze slid down subtly for a moment, then quickly raised up again.

"What are you looking at?" She obviously noticed Viego's gaze, was stunned for a moment, looked down at her empty chest, lowered her hands that were crossing her chest, and her expression became a little unhappy.

"Are you secretly saying that I'm average in your heart?"

"?" Viego was stunned for a moment.

No, buddy, are you so straightforward?

You already know it yourself, why are you asking? Isn't this...

Humiliating yourself?
