Guild Boss's Ambition
Page 20
Because I couldn't find the answer, I could only hold my belly and burst into laughter: "Oh! Mr. Love Saint, please accept my respect! Love cannot be measured by fame, wealth and money? Haha - you can really say such big words with a dignified manner, you half-dragon, you have a chuunibyou, right? Aren't you ashamed? Hahaha..."
I mercilessly laughed at Xuanxun's childishness, and he immediately blushed with shame and anger. He returned to his old ways, clenched his two white fists, and shouted at me: "Old witch, are you trying to annoy me on purpose? If you deserve a beating, I don't mind letting you taste the taste of violence with my own hands!"
So we started arguing again.
"Oh my, Belanny, Belanny, someone wants to take advantage of my injury and make trouble for me--"
"What did you say! Even if you're not hurt, I can still freeze you into an icicle!"
"What? What? Who was saved by our president last night?"
"Your spear is not strong enough to hurt the half-dragon's body!"
"But at least the skin will be broken and poisoned──"
"How can that little bit of poison do anything to a dragon like me!"
"You guys are too noisy."
Hmm? This sound is...
A sudden and unfamiliar voice sounded, and Xuan Xun and I turned our heads to look at the source of the voice. We saw that Berlane had a gloomy face, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and the fighter's pink fist was half raised in the air, trembling with endurance!
"I'm a little sleepy, please be quiet." said the white-haired girl who drank the sleeping chrysanthemum.
I always feel...very scary?
Upon hearing this, Xuanxun and I immediately returned to our seats.
After this round of dismantling, this morning's diagnosis time gradually came to an end.

11. Let’s not see a doctor (Little Blue)
(Ulu-Lannon)
On the afternoon of the consultation day, I woke up from a dream and sat with my sister Erhard in a corner of the guild's restaurant.
"I don't want to see a doctor!"
After listening to Blanny's mechanical narration and understanding the diagnosis, I immediately put up a strong resistance.
Not to mention that the restriction is very scary and the person who helps me with my diagnosis may be in danger. In fact, the essence of the restriction is a big trap, which is obviously related to my game system. If not, I would not see the system prompt when I got up.
[Warning! The system has been invaded by a foreign virus! Note: The target has been automatically excluded successfully! ]
In order to prevent others from discovering that I had a system hidden in my body, I categorically refused to continue receiving treatment!
"No."
However, dear senior Blanny held my shoulders firmly, and her motherly gaze treated me as a child who had entered a rebellious period, silently warning me: Child, this is for your own good, don't give up treatment easily!
I had no choice but to lift the hand off my shoulder and re-emphasize my position: "Senior Berlani, I really feel very happy now. It's okay even if I don't go to great lengths to restore my memory. Besides, didn't Bai Ye also say that the restriction hidden in my memory is very overbearing? Those who help me with the treatment are risking their own death!"
"No."
Brannie still kept her hands on my shoulders, insisting that I go see a doctor.
"President Ehard, please help me talk to your sister!"
Facing the stubborn Berlane, I turned to President Meng'er, who was concentrating on calculating the income and expenditure for this month, for help. However, my expectation was only met with her rejection. She looked cowardly as if she was afraid that I would bring Berlane's firepower to her: "Xiao Lan, you have grown up. This is your own business. You have to learn to face it yourself."
I rolled my eyes and followed her words, shouting at Berlane confidently, "Yes, Sister Meng'er is absolutely right! This is my own business, so I should make my own decision!"
Berlani gave President Meng'er a cold look, but finally softened her attitude.
"Okay, but Xuanxun..."
"I'll take care of him. Anyway, I don't want to see a spiritual mentor anymore!"
I made up my mind. Although I was very grateful to Berlani and Xuanxun for always thinking of me, I still hoped that the matter about the game system could be a secret to myself for the time being. I didn't want others to know about my past as a man. If this secret was accidentally leaked...
For me, who accidentally saw all kinds of gentleman benefits, it would probably be a fatal disaster that is not to be joked about, right? Whether it is Erhard's battle axe or Berlane's fist, they can kill me in one blow──
"Then I will go to the Tree of Life to find Mr. Xuanxun now, so that he doesn't have to run around for me."
Without further ado, I immediately stood up and walked from a corner of the restaurant to the lobby door of the guild.
With the presence of bartender Morning Star Fan, many adventurers would come in to dine out of curiosity, thus bringing a visible flow of people to the aisles set up in the restaurant and bar. As the poster girl, I naturally had to maintain my professional elegance, smiling at the guests while walking to the door.
"Good afternoon, Miss Gushan."
Halfway through the journey, I met a new image-hosting lady. Her name was Gushan, and she was about the same age as me, probably around twelve or thirteen years old. She had long brown hair tied into two cute ponytails. She looked simple and sweet, and was usually serious and careful in her work. Annie, who was responsible for teaching Gushan, often praised her in private, saying that she was a capable employee.
As the saying goes, a noble man is always busy. Gu Shan, who performed well, not only held a tray in each hand, but also had several bowls and dishes on her arms and shoulders. I watched her walking forward from afar and felt that she should not come here to be a sign girl, but should go to the circus to be an acrobat. With her skills, it would be a waste of her talent to stay in the stone house.
"Good afternoon! Senior Lan Nong!" "Girl, can you help collect the dishes?"
She smiled and greeted me. The guests at the next table also called out to her impatiently. So, she gave me a veiled and helpless smile: "Senior, could you please help me take this tray to table B4? I'll go collect the guests' plates. If I don't, another guest will complain to the foreman about us."
"Oh, okay. Oh, no—"
When the alarm sounded in my mind, I instinctively took the tray handed to me by Gu Shan with both hands, which fully satisfied the triggering conditions of the hidden title. I looked down at the four sets of tableware on the tray and smiled bitterly: "Miss Gu Shan, please put away the plates quickly and bring the broom here. You have three minutes."
"Huh? Why?" Gu Shan looked confused.
Thinking of the potential danger of that title, I frowned and couldn't help but urge him: "Don't ask why, just follow my instructions, otherwise it will be too late!"
Hearing my sudden stern tone, Gu Shan shrank her slender neck in grievance, immediately cleared the table for the guests, and then hurried into the kitchen. After about a minute, she trotted out with a broom.
"Senior Lan Nong, I brought the broom."
"Then please be mentally prepared..." I said to her who didn't understand.
"Hmm? What kind of mental preparation?" She still looked confused.
Feeling more and more eyes focused on me, I took a deep breath and gave the well-behaved Gu Shan a comforting smile: "Time is running out. You will see with your own eyes what is incredible after a while."
“Unbelievable?”
Gu Shan tilted her head in a daze, and at the same time, a sharp arrow flew past her cheek, and then hit the edge of the tray in my hand in full view of everyone, knocking the tray into the air. As expected, all the cups and plates in the silver tray shattered at my feet, making a series of ping-pong sounds of destruction.
[Congratulations! The player has successfully broken four sets of primary tableware and received a total of 600 character and career experience points! ]
"..."
Accustomed to the system's mockery, I gently touched Gu Shan's head to give her some comfort as she trembled, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's over. I have to go to the Tree of Life for some things, so I can only trouble you to clean up the place by yourself. I'm sorry, I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Gu Shan, frightened by the cold arrow, nodded to me repeatedly. I turned my body gracefully, raised my head and chest, and fled the accident scene in embarrassment under hundreds of surprised eyes. Please don't ask me why this happened suddenly, because explaining it is almost equivalent to proving the existence of gravity all over again!
When I rushed out of the door, I heard another pleasant music. It was not the music from the bards on the street, but the celebration sent by Miss System for me, the celebration of my level upgrade...
With the heroic sacrifice of four sets of tableware, my character and career levels have both been upgraded to level 4, and I can now happily upgrade my skill levels! What a cause for celebration! What a cause for celebration──your sister!
"Why do other people level up by beating monsters, but I level up by smashing plates?"
As if responding to my complaints, the system came out at the right time to show its presence.
Miss System: The player successfully upgraded the title "Dish Smasher" and the hidden condition was triggered! Now, "Dish Smasher" has been upgraded to "The Messenger of Tragedy"!
[The Messenger of Doom: When in working state, any tableware you touch will be absolutely destroyed within five minutes. At the same time, all the tableware you break will condense into dark power. As long as you gather enough dark power, you will be able to summon the ghosts of the tragic dead to serve you forever! - As long as it is a plate, God will smash it for you to see!]
"..."
Speechless, I walked into the Tree of Life opposite.
……

12. I have the loyalty of Guan Gong (Xiao Lan)
(Ulu-Lannon)
When I got to the Tree of Life, I realized that I had made a serious mistake.
I was so stupid that I wore the Stone House uniform to go to another adventurer's guild to do my own business! Isn't that the same as wearing Mac's uniform to eat fried chicken at Colonel Ken's store? What do you think the store clerk would react when seeing me?
"You! From the Stone House! What do you want with us?"
A red-haired lady blocked my way like a soldier who was ready to defend against insults. I, a foolish lamb, had to quickly smile and explain, "Hello, sister. I am the new manager of the Stone House. I came here today with absolutely no ill intentions. I am here for personal matters rather than official business. Um, is your Mr. Xuanxun here?"
"Are you here to look for the idiot Xuanxun?" The red-haired lady had a strange look on her face.
"Yes, I'm here to see Mr. Xuanxun." I couldn't help but smile bitterly at Xuanxun's reputation.
The red-haired sister patted my shoulder heavily and said earnestly: "Your sister, you don't know that although our Xuanxun looks like an elegant gentleman, he is a hopeless idiot at heart. You are still young now, and you may not understand the various appearances of the world, but your sister must advise you here to turn back and never fall for the idiot Xuanxun."
Hearing such harsh comments from the red-haired queen, I couldn't help but replenish Xuanxun's blood.
"But he is actually quite nice, at least he is very compassionate."
"But he's a fool." said the red-haired lady.
"And he's pretty handsome and tasteful."
"But he's a fool." said the red-haired lady.
"Besides, his family seems to be very rich."
"What a pity he is such a fool." said the red-haired lady.
So, I had no choice but to agree with her and nodded in agreement: "Well, low IQ is indeed incurable, but the relationship between Mr. Xuanxun and I is not as special as you think. I came to him for other things."
The red-haired lady shrugged her shoulders, pinched my cheeks for no reason and pulled them, and asked with a smile: "Let's not talk about Xuanxun first, have you heard of the cocktail Morning Star?"
She was very close to me at this time, and with the subtle height difference between us, a century-old canyon suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I accidentally fell into it: "Are you talking about the Morning Star? That's the signature product of our Stone House!"
"Oh, so who invented this?" she asked with a smile.
"D? No, there should be at least E, right?" I murmured.
"What is ABCD? Let me ask you, who invented the Morning Star?"
"I……"
Confused, I almost answered the red-haired lady's question truthfully. Fortunately, I got rid of the magnificent scene in front of me in time and woke up: "Why should I tell such a secret to an outsider like you! Don't try to trick me. I live in the stone house and I will be a ghost in the stone house after I die. I will go through mountains of swords and plunge into cauldrons of oil..."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you anymore."
Before I could show my loyalty, the red-haired lady became bored and said with a yawn, "You said you were looking for the idiot Xuan Xun, right? He just went to see our president and he probably won't come out for a while. Although we are all guests, it's not right to let you wander around our Tree of Life wearing the Stone House uniform..."
She raised my chin and smiled sweetly: "Good boy, come with me to the lounge."
I was easily hooked by the abyss demon in front of me, and my heart was distracted. I nodded obediently and followed her to the Tree of Life's poster lounge without any opinion. Maybe it was because it was the busy lunch time, so there were not many people in their lounge, except for a young and beautiful woman who was drinking in the daytime.
"Oh, my Luo Jun'er, you are usually the most diligent, how come you suddenly learn to be lazy?"
The red-haired lady, who was called Luo Jun'er by the young beauty, snorted coldly, pushed me out who was following her, and introduced me: "She is the new poster girl of Stone House. It seems that she is here to look for the idiot Xuan Xun. Before Xuan Xun comes out, I want to let her stay here temporarily. By the way, foreman, you should drink less, otherwise you will soon become a shrew."
The young and mature beauty laughed drunkenly like a silver bell, and said sweetly: "Don't worry, I always drink the finest grape wine, which can not only prolong my life, but also prevent aging. In addition, I have always been born beautiful. Even if I have white hair, I am confident that I can maintain a baby-like smooth and beautiful skin. But your mortal body, Luo Jun'er, makes me feel worried──"
"Tsk - I'll go to work first. I'll let you know if there's any news about Xuanxun."
Facing the young and mature beauty who seemed a little conceited, Luo Juner just uttered a few words and left. In this way, the only people left in the entire lounge were the young and mature beauty and me, a outsider.
"Girl, come and chat with me, you stranger?"
The young and mature beauty waved at me. Her long light golden hair shone like light, and her facial features were delicate and elegant, with the romantic style of ancient European beauties. At this moment, something white suddenly moved on her back. I moved closer to take a look, and my heart was moved again. I murmured in doubt: "Wings? Did I see an angel..."
"Pfft hahaha..."
My stupidity immediately made her laugh so happily that she was shaking with tears in her bright eyes. She said with a smile: "Haha, little girl, you misunderstood. I am Helena, not an angel. I am just a member of the Water Gull Wing Clan. Even though I can be considered a long-lived species, I am not as noble and sacred as an angel. So please don't have this misunderstanding anymore."
what?
Isn't it an angel?
I couldn't help but blush for my ignorance, but then I realized that this misunderstanding was not completely unreasonable, so I took advantage of my childishness and said sweetly, "If you weren't so pretty, how could I have such a low-level misunderstanding? So, it's all your fault, you who are so pretty."
“Oh, I didn’t expect that you, who lives in this stone house, are so good at talking. Your praise is so pleasant to the ears. Come over to my side quickly and let Helena give you a special reward personally.” The young woman who called herself Helena hooked her little finger at me. Her every frown and smile seemed to carry a terrible magic. I was immediately hooked by her and stood in front of her in a daze.
Ugh—
Without asking a single question, she touched my cheek with her red lips, but the fragrance like that of azalea made my heart feel peaceful and calm. Although it was a kiss, it was more like a sacred blessing, which taught people to have no evil thoughts and no intention of defilement.
"Sister, you are indeed an angel." I thought to myself and said it out loud.
She didn't deny it this time, she just covered her mouth and chuckled, "You are so cute, little one. You will definitely be a stunning beauty when you grow up. But Ahed is not good at business. You won't have any future if you stay in the stone house. On the contrary, we at the Tree of Life can give you the best education. You will have a group of sisters to look after you. You will definitely be able to charm the whole city with your smile in the future."
