“But you acted like you knew about me before,” Lena said at this moment.

"Is this happening?"

"Of course, when I argued with Garcia before, you said the other side was no good, doesn't that make it seem like you knew about me?"

"Ha, sensing a person's strength is something many cultivators can do. Little girl, you are indeed stronger than Garcia."

Yang Xiying smiled in response, then changed the subject.

"But that's not enough now. If you encounter someone like Ted Brolla, you'll still be at a loss. So keep practicing."

"If you understand those books, you will become stronger."

"Those books..."

Lena was a little confused when she heard Yang Xiying's last sentence, but she quickly realized something and took out a few books from her bag.

Are you referring to these books?

She found these books; although she couldn't understand the words, she understood them just from the pictures.

“That’s right,” Yang Xiying replied.

"How...how did you know?" Lena hesitated, realizing she hadn't shown the books.

"...Could these books be yours?!" She suddenly realized something.

“It was me who fell behind, but it’s fine if you want to learn it. After all, you can understand some things just by looking at the pictures,” Yang Xiying replied directly.

Lena possesses the secret book she seeks, but the other person can glean some insights from it; however, this is a wasteland world.

In a world where even food and drink cannot be guaranteed, it is naturally difficult to receive cultural education and understand the world, but this girl was able to figure it out.

As expected of the protagonist of this game world?

Yes, Reina is the protagonist of the Metal Max world, and a female character that players can choose, if Yang Xiying is not available.

—From now on, she will be the one to defeat the raiders, which shows her talent.

However, even with great talent, it would still be difficult for Ding Zhen to study, so Yang Xiying changed the books some time ago.

— It was replaced with a version that it could understand.

"They even know these things..."

Lena wasn't surprised by the books on the other side, because the other side even knew her progress in comprehending these books.

"Are you spying on us?!" "Lena, you can't be so rude!" "Ouch—!"

Lena instinctively responded, and Maria gave her a sharp rap on the head, after all, the girl was too disrespectful.

Judging from the behavior of Yang Xiying and her group so far, Maria has already regarded them as beings of divine status.

Therefore, she believed that Lena was blessed by the gods to have found those books, and this was especially true after the text in those books was altered.

Because those words are now understandable even to myself. Before, I could only understand a few characters; they were very ancient characters, and there are hardly any records of them now.

"I'm sorry, this child hasn't been out for long and is speaking rather disrespectfully," Maria apologized sincerely at this point.

"Haha, I don't care about these things. After all, the girl was telling the truth in a sense."

“We might be watching you secretly, so don’t do anything bad,” Yang Xiying said, her expression becoming meaningful.

"..." This left the people around them somewhat speechless, after all, the abilities these three had displayed were indeed extraordinary.

"I...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stolen the food I had hoarded!" At this moment, the red-haired guy couldn't hold back anymore and stood up to confess his sins.

He was genuinely terrified; if he were caught stealing food and punished, he would be in deep trouble.

"..." The atmosphere around him became cheerful as soon as this guy came out, and many people's expressions were quite subtle.

"We won't concern ourselves with these trivial matters. Anyway, let's just introduce ourselves as you suggested."

Yang Xiying responded and then introduced herself.

“My name is Yang Xiying,” “My name is Ibaraki Huashan, and I am Lady Yang Xiying’s attendant,” Ibaraki Huashan followed closely behind.

"Yuka Kazami is also an attendant of Lady Yang Xiying," Yuuka Kazami introduced herself, but there was a hint of joking in her voice.

“As for who we are, you will soon find out,” Yang Xiying added before disappearing into thin air.

Yang Xiying and her group left Maduo Village directly, leaving the group somewhat bewildered. They would soon find out who they were...?

What does this mean? But the fact that the other side defeated the Raider executive Ted Brolla certainly lets people know who this person is.

The people of Mado Village would naturally not hesitate to publicize the people who saved the village, and making them famous would be a way of repaying their kindness.

"We've already eliminated two raider officers—"

Yang Xiying and her group returned to the front-line base, and after the matter was settled, a banquet was held where everyone sat together to summarize the events.

Now that Ted Brolla has been eliminated, only two of the four Raider Kings remain, marking another step forward in eliminating the Raider organization.

"250000G is a considerable sum in this world. How long are we planning to wait to collect the bounty?"

—Reimu Hakurei raised a crucial point here.

"And isn't there a Hunter's Guild in Maddo Town too? Why didn't you tell them after you defeated Tedbrola?"

In this world, all wanted posters are issued by an organization called the Hunter's Guild, which is spread throughout various towns and cities.

Maduo Village also has one, but Yang Xiying didn't go.

"Since we talked about it in Mado Town, there's no reason to go to El Niño Town anymore. We're going to a new town next."

PS: This is a two-in-one compilation of four thousand words.

NO.238+239 Reimu Hakurei, the Sweeping Master!

"Compared to Bazasca, the atmosphere in this town is really not that great..."

After the meal, Yang Xiying took Hakurei Reimu, who was very interested in receiving the bounty, to the town he had mentioned earlier, El Niño.

This is a town located northeast of Maduo Village. To get here from there, you need to cross a large desert.

The desert is fraught with danger, and there are even wanted monsters called sand sharks roaming around, but Yang Xiying and her group can ignore that.

Moreover, the Sand Shark had already been killed in the battle between Kazami Yuuka and Ted Brolla, so Yang Xiying and her group could collect another bounty.

There were only two thousand, but killing monsters would always increase their fame. Yang Xiying was looking forward to seeing the Hunter's Guild wipe out the bounty hunter.

Therefore, they came to El Niño, and looking at the surrounding environment, Reimu Hakurei felt a sense of absurdity.

The surrounding buildings are all dilapidated and seem uninhabitable, yet in this desolate and run-down town stands a high-rise building that is about 70-80% new.

The people wandering the streets looked no different from the beggars, but there were also some well-dressed guys wandering around.

—It can be said to form a stark contrast.

"After all, it's a place occupied by the Raiders organization," Yang Xiying replied directly, "El Niño is a town occupied by the Raiders organization."

Those smartly dressed guys are raider soldiers, and that nearly new building is the raider boss's stronghold.

"So, doesn't this give us a reason to come here during El Niño?" Reimu Hakurei's expression was somewhat strange.

Since there are plunderers here, they should all be slaughtered to restore peace to the world, so coming here is a must.

However, Yang Xiying said that after defeating the Raiders' Four Heavenly Kings, Ted Brolla, in Maddo Village, she had no reason to come back.

"That's true, but I really don't want to do anything for this city," Yang Xiying responded, adding a comment that Lingmeng was concerned about.

"Is there anything about this city that isn't worth saving?" Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask. Yang Xiying's resistance meant that some people weren't worth it.

Yes, but just consider this a rant. The raiders still need to be eliminated; we can't let them run rampant.

Yang Xiying nodded. El Niño Town in Metal Max is an area occupied by the Raiders organization but will be liberated by the player later.

But the process of liberation was somewhat disgusting, and the game's protagonist had to endure all sorts of humiliation and hardship.

Mendoza, the raider leader here, is clearly only indulging in wine and women, and is a piece of trash who betrayed the organization for power.

However, the game requires the protagonist to cooperate with the local resistance group, the Sinok Group, in order to make this trash's health bar appear.

The reason given is that the protagonist cannot do it alone, and the leader is protected by a female bodyguard; one must hand over weapons to approach him.

Therefore, the protagonist cannot defeat the enemy, even though he has a well-trained body. Moreover, even if he wins, the enemy will still find a secret passage to escape.

There are many plot restrictions, so there's nothing we can do but follow the plot. After going through the whole process, we realized that this resistance organization is dispensable.

Because the main characters handled all the tasks during the liberation operation, the resistance organization played no role whatsoever.

It's not surprising that he was betrayed by Mendoza; yes, Mendoza was also a member of the Sinuk Group in the past.

Yet this kind of useless organization manages to step on the protagonist's head, and the credit for liberating El Niño is all taken by that idiot leader.

The protagonist only managed to get the title of the seventh member of the Xinuk Group. I just want to ask, what did you guys actually do?

But that's not the stupidest part. The stupidest part is that after the Xinuk Group came to power, it became just like the Raiders organization.

For the townspeople of El Niño, it's just a change of rulers, someone who knows how to pretend and who talks about righteousness.

If it weren't for the game's mechanics that prevented them from displaying their health bars, Yang Xiying would have sent the entire Xinuk group down to accompany the raiders.

Therefore, there is no point in trying to liberate El Niño, but in reality, we can't have that mindset.

—After all, whoever he wants to see their health bar has to show it.

"Shall we make our move now?" Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask, while Yang Xiying shook her head.

Wait a minute, there's someone over there who needs help.

【Oh?】 Hearing Yang Xiying say that, Reimu Hakurei raised an eyebrow, and then she saw Yang Xiying walk in a certain direction.

There stood a graceful, lovely girl with long purple hair, one side of which was braided and hung down in front of her chest.

At this moment, she was frowning, her face full of anxiety, pacing back and forth, as if she was troubled by something.

"What to do... Axel is going to be executed soon. Why did I even bother messing with those raider chariots in the first place..."

He was muttering something to himself, which made it easy for Yang Xiying to take advantage of the situation and go up to talk to him.

"You seem to be troubled, young lady."

“…!” Hearing a voice beside her, the purple-haired girl suddenly froze, turned her gaze to the source of the sound, and found a handsome young man with black hair.

"Excuse me, who are you...?" This prompted her to ask, and for some reason, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with this person.

"My name is Yang Xiying. I'm a traveler who just arrived in this town, and then I saw you looking troubled about something."

Yang Xiying responded directly.

"Is something wrong? If it's related to raiders, we can help," Reimu Hakurei said as she approached.

She had just caught a key word from the other person's words: "predator," so she should start the conversation with "wild rose"... no, "predator."

“…!” Upon hearing Reimu Hakurei’s words, the purple-haired girl showed a surprised expression, and then tentatively spoke.

"Can you really help me? I can't afford to pay such a high price..." She didn't have much money to begin with.

“As my friend said, we can help with anything related to the raiders,” Yang Xiying added at this point.

"So no compensation is required."

"..."

The purple-haired girl fell silent for a moment after hearing Yang Xiying's words. It was quite remarkable that they could openly discuss these topics on the street...

This made her decide to take the plunge. After all, since the other side dared to openly plot against the raiders, she had no choice but to go all out, and she had no other options.

"My name is Melodie. Could you please save my brother Axel? He has been captured by raiders and is about to be executed."

"He was sentenced to death instead of being sent for experiments? What did Axel do?" Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask.

“…He, he damaged the raiders’ chariots. This kid has loved tinkering with machines since he was little,” Melodie said after a moment of silence.

"He angered the family quite a bit by taking apart a lot of things, but he calmed down after the repair work was done."

"But I never expected things to turn out like this..."

“…I see. Your brother is quite brave,” Reimu Hakurei replied, then asked, “Where is that cell?”

"It's...it's over there. Did you promise to save Axel?" Melodie instinctively pointed the way for the two of them.

"It's just a little effort."

Yang Xiying responded calmly to the other side, and then headed directly in the direction Melody had indicated, with Reimu Hakurei following behind.
