"Are you sure?"

Chapter 34: Lady Fulilian, the trash can and the treasure chest monster cannot be compared!

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shiluwa, and I'm the owner of this mechanical shop." Shiluwa introduced herself enthusiastically. "If you have any broken equipment, you can come to me, but I can't guarantee that I'm interested in repairing it."

“No, no, I’m just curious about this heater…”

"This is just an ordinary earth heater. There are so many of them in the administrative district." Shiluwa pointed to the one in front of her shop. "And the one you're standing under is broken. I haven't had time to fix it yet."

""Earth marrow? ""

"I heard from a careless guard that some Outsiders have arrived in Beloberg. I bet they are you, right?"

"Shiluwa smiled faintly, gathering her hair from her face, and bent down, tapping the broken heater at her feet as she explained, "Earth marrow is a mineral energy source unique to this place. Everything from city heating to the timer in your hand is powered by earth marrow."

"The earth's core is mined by specialized mining teams in the lower districts and then transported to the surface via pipelines. Conversely, the upper districts use the same pipelines to transport materials found only on the surface."

"Don't you know? Beloberg's city structure is like two large disks connected together. The upper area is responsible for administration and trade, while the lower area is responsible for energy supply and resource extraction."

When Hilco saw this scene, he immediately found it very familiar.

...Isn't this the relationship between Piltover and Zaun? !

The upper city of Piltover enjoys technology, wealth, and glory, while the lower city of Zaun is filled with poisonous rivers and polluted air. The upper city is accompanied by glamour, while the lower city is forever associated with filth...

He could almost guess without thinking that the environment in the downtown area must be quite harsh.

"Do you think there's a 'Silco' in their lower district?"

Jinx thought this was so interesting, so fun. It was like a completely new version of Zaun and Piltover in another world! She leaped from the rafters, bounded over to Silko, and winked at him.

"Wherever there is oppression and inequality, wherever there is no respect and independence, there will be 'Silco'."

After saying that, he raised his hand to straighten his tie at the base of his neck and said in a low voice, "Jinx, believe me, the lower city of Beloberg will definitely have its own 'Silco'."

"After chatting with Shiluwa for a while, the three of them went to the Goethe Hotel arranged by Cocolia to check in."

"Along the way, they saw many citizens gathered on the street near the hotel, crying. After asking around, they learned that their belongings had been left behind within the Rift, and that the area was now blocked, preventing ordinary citizens from passing through."

"This world is filled with disasters." Xing looked at the soldiers standing guard outside the Rift. "Can these soldiers stop the Rift's invasion?"

Dan Heng shook his head regretfully. "Impossible! As long as the star core is still active, the erosion will continue to expand. The soldiers can only temporarily clear the monsters within the rift, but monsters will continue to be born and multiply."

"Tomorrow we'll talk to the Great Guardian and set out to find the star core as soon as possible. We'll resolve this issue as soon as possible!" Sanyueqi couldn't bear to see those elderly people crying in despair anymore. It was truly pitiful."

Dan Heng and Xing nodded, both agreeing. The first day of the pioneering journey was already tiring enough, and right now, San Yue Qi just wanted to fall asleep on the soft bed.

"However, before entering the hotel, Sanyueqi and Danheng discovered that Xing had not caught up with them."

"She stopped where she was, her eyes drawn to an unassuming trash can next to the spiral staircase."

"Ah...what's so good about a trash can?"

Xiutark was puzzled, but seeing Xing's serious expression, he didn't dare to make a hasty judgment. Xing had a star core sealed within her body. What if she could see something extraordinary?

but……

"Isn't a trash can just a trash can? What else could be in there besides trash?" He glanced at Fulilian beside him. "Flilian, can you see anything?"

Fulilian closed her eyes and shook her head.

“However, the way she looks at the trash can is very familiar to me.” Zain opened his mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, “It’s exactly the same as when I look at Miss Jizi!”

"You..." Philen was too lazy to complain anymore.

...Can a trash can be compared to a beauty chosen from thousands of people?!

Fulilian placed her index finger on her lips and after a moment's thought, she said, "If possible, there are some precious treasures inside? For example, an abandoned peerless sword, or an extremely rare magic book..."

"Lady Fulilian, do you think the trash can is a treasure chest monster?!"

Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the universe, Xing slowly placed his hand on the lid of the trash can and slowly opened it...

——As expected, there is only garbage inside.

"Dan Heng and San Yue Qi both opened their eyes wide. This scene... they had never seen it before."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, Xing?!"

"Xing originally wanted to continue exploring the next trash can, but was pulled back by Sanyueqi."

"After all, he's a distinguished guest chosen by the Grand Guardian. If someone caught him rummaging through the garbage in the middle of the night... just imagining it, San Yue Qi's toes would dig out a three-bedroom apartment."

"After entering the hotel, Dan Heng pulled March Seven aside. After confirming that there was no one else nearby besides Xing, he solemnly said, "March, was at Klipperburg—"

"Hey, stop! I know what you're going to say: 'March, you talked too much,' 'March, you shouldn't have revealed our purpose to someone you don't trust,'... I get it. It's your fault for beating around the bush and talking nonsense instead of speaking properly," March Seven protested.

"But look, isn't it a great result now? Not only are we staying in a super luxurious hotel, but we've also gained support from the local community! It seems this pioneering mission is going well!"

"No, that's not what I meant to say." Dan Heng shook his head. "Have you ever noticed the Great Guardian?"

"Of course. After adventuring with you for so long, my observation skills have been honed. Hey, they're incredibly sharp~" Sanyueqi chuckled and puffed out his chest proudly.

"Am I the only one who didn't find anything?" Xing scratched his head.

"Don't worry about your trash can—after you've been adventuring with us for a while, it'll naturally appear." March Seven patted Xing's shoulder and continued Dan Heng's topic.

“The lady’s eyes had a penetrating quality—that is, although she was speaking to us, her eyes seemed to be fixed on something in the distance…”

Chapter 35: Teacher Saitama, what do you want to do with the star core?

"I see! It's the Invisible Man!" Xingbao suddenly said with an idea.

"..." Dan Heng sighed and shook his head. "Maybe I'm just too sensitive. Anyway, I should get some rest early and get enough rest for tomorrow's negotiations."

"Everyone returned to their rooms to rest. After a day of hard work, everyone was exhausted. Lying on their soft beds, they fell into a contented sleep."

"In my sleep, I could faintly hear a whispering female voice. It seemed to transcend endless time and space, and across vast distances, gently echoing in this silent and mysterious realm."

""Cocolia... Cocolia...""

"Who are you? No, what are you?"

"The girl's voice suddenly appeared, full of fear. Even in the pitch-black void, one could still imagine the helpless and terrified look on her face."

“We are allies…allies who have accompanied the Guardians for generations.”

“What do you want?”

"Reforge... this dying world." The ethereal voice gradually became clearer, each word carrying a weight of decisiveness. "Help you... realize your wish."

"It can actually make wishes come true... This star core is pretty good." Saitama picked up a steaming beef ball with chopsticks and took a bite with satisfaction.

"Genos, if a star core could help you make a wish come true, what would you wish for?"

"me?"

Genos, tackling household chores in the kitchen, skillfully cut a beef shank into small pieces and meticulously placed them on a plate. Upon hearing his teacher's question, Genos pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I'd simply refuse, Saitama-sensei. Accepting such unreasonable help often leads to troublesome consequences."

Genos thought of the monster cells brought by the dragon-level monster that appeared not long ago. It is said that as long as you eat them, your combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. Even the people of the Sword Saint Society could not resist the temptation and were completely transformed into monsters after taking them.

The star core that lured Cocolia seems to be this kind of thing.

"I don't believe there are any free gifts in this world. As for wishes..." Genos looked up at Mr. Saitama, who was enjoying a hot pot meal, with a glint of longing in his eyes. "I hope to become as strong as Mr. Saitama one day. Other than that, I don't have any other wishes."

"...Besides, I don't want to be overly dependent on others when it comes to becoming stronger."

"Speaking of which, if a star core appears on Earth, will the teacher accept the star core's help?" Genos was very curious.

"Hmm... probably."

Saitama blew away the steam from the beef tendons and thought seriously, "Beef prices in supermarkets have gone up quite a bit right now. If I don't take advantage of the Saturday sale, it'll be a real expense. If the Star Core could really help me... I'd probably want the supermarket to have a sale seven days a week, right? That way, I could have beef hotpot every day."

"By the way, Genos... When will Dr. Kusno come again?"

Picking up the last piece of beef roll on the plate, Saitama began to miss the Wagyu beef that Dr. Kusno brought when he visited him. The beef he brought last time had distinct texture and was full of milky aroma. It was not the cheap stuff that could be easily bought in ordinary supermarkets.

"Hmm? Teacher, are you looking for the doctor..."

As if a sudden inspiration came to him, Genos caught the remaining half of his words in his throat and did not say them out loud.

He looked at the empty plate on the table and fell into deep thought.

...Teacher Saitama actually wants to meet the doctor?

Could it be...? The teacher has noticed the flaws in his current body and wants to invite Dr. Kusno to make targeted modifications to make him stronger?

No wonder the teacher didn’t comment on him in the recent hero activity. It turns out that he was secretly collecting opinions so that he could give summary feedback to the doctor?

Genos suddenly understood.

Not only did his eyes look at Saitama with more respect and admiration, but even his hands that were wiping the dishes became more nimble.

——As expected! Training with Teacher Saitama is the wisest thing to do!

"Don't worry, teacher! I will contact Dr. Kusno immediately and have him visit you tomorrow!"

"Early in the morning, Xing was woken up by Sanyueqi's knock on the door. Xing yawned and walked out of the room, and found that both of them looked unhappy."

"A group of Silvermane Guards arrived at the inn entrance, but they seemed to be up to no good."

"March Seventh, with a look of worry and lingering fear, said, 'If they're here to greet us, the atmosphere is far too solemn.'"

Dan Heng looked down at the rows of silver-armored guards below and sighed, "Let's go meet them first. There's no point in guessing here."

"Downstairs, the Silvermane Guards had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the three members of the train crew appeared, they pointed their spears at them fiercely: "You! Commander Bronya is waiting for you downstairs. Go meet her quickly, and don't try to play tricks!"

"Are we... not going to get into any serious trouble?" Sanyueqi already had a bad feeling.

"Under the stairs was the gray-haired girl, Bronya, whom I had met at Krippenburg yesterday. She was clutching a spear, her expression serious. She looked completely different from when we met at Krippenburg yesterday."

"I am Bronya Rand, acting commander of the Silvermane Guard. In the name of the almighty Amber King, and under the orders of Grand Guardian Cocolia Rand, I have come to apprehend the infiltrator intent on inciting rebellion."

Bronya said sternly, "Please give up your pointless resistance and follow me."

"Wait, wait a minute! This isn't what we agreed on! She clearly said she wanted to invite us to discuss important matters..." Sanyueqi protested.

Dan Heng, however, showed no surprise and said calmly, "...This was a planned betrayal, without a doubt."

-

At dinner time, Denci put the vegetables that Pava didn't eat on his plate, while staring at the light screen and chewing the leaves.

This kind of betrayal drama... is so delicious.

"This Dan Heng brother is so emotionally stable. Does he get betrayed often?"

"I haven't seen the previous episodes, so how could I possibly know?" Pava said unhappily. "But if I were there, I would probably kill them all, right? I hate betrayal the most."

"Denci, what would you do if it were you?" Pava poked Denci's cheek, which was swollen from stuffing himself with food. "Let me tell you in advance, if you dare to betray the train crew, I will kill you first!"

"Um……"

Denci stared blankly at the perfect curve of Bronya's chest that could be held in one hand. He swallowed the vegetables in his mouth suddenly, with a serious expression on his face.

"If she's willing to let me rub her, betrayal... isn't impossible."

Chapter 36 Maybe Kafka is a mat demon?

"Will you betray Miss Makima like this?"

Hayakawa Aki, who heard everything clearly in the kitchen, slowly walked out with a bowl of beef ramen. Without even looking at Denci, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"I can't possibly betray Miss Makima, even if you ask me to rub her vagina." Denci's eyes unconsciously glanced out the window, his voice a little weak.

...In fact, he did have the thought of betraying Miss Makima.

He couldn't help but have evil thoughts when he saw Kafka, Himeko, Silva, Cocolia, Bronya, and others. But the light curtain was still a light curtain after all; you could see it but you couldn't touch it. So, Miss Makima, who could touch his head every now and then, was obviously more attractive.

"Really? But if you're willing to betray Makima, I'll be merciful and let you rub it." Pava smiled maliciously, and proudly puffed out her chest. Her seemingly ordinary-looking buttocks now unexpectedly attracted people's attention.

Pava...is it usually this big?

Denci swallowed subconsciously.

"If you let me rub it now..."

"Of course, Denci," Pava interrupted his hesitation, a hint of devilish evil finally appearing on his cute face. "As long as you're willing to be my follower from now on and betray that woman Makima...of course."

"--But, Denci, you have to rub it with gratitude."

Hayakawa Aki held his forehead, and the beef noodles in his mouth suddenly became tasteless and bland. He really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
