Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Raven: "..."

He looked calm... Oh, no, Shi Hen was still wearing a black silk hood, so his expression couldn't be seen.

"Let's go, go back."

After looking at the boy for a moment longer, the raven immediately turned and left.

As long as the mission objectives can be completed, the World Snake never cares about these trivial matters.

"Oh."

Shi Hen nodded, pulled off his hood and threw it into the fire along with the baseball bat.

Similar to the tactical mecha he encountered before, this baseball bat was already overwhelmed after being used by him several times.

Only weapons made of soul steel can withstand the load of conducting Houkai energy.

However, if he leaves a baseball bat behind after every battle, perhaps he can create a legend of "Galaxy Baseball Man"?

While thinking randomly, Shi Hen disappeared into the exit of the underground garage.

-------------------------------------

Later, the Crow's Nest Pub.

crunch--

"Welcome, both of you. Would you like something to drink?"

When they entered the bar, Shi Hen and Raven were greeted by an unexpected guest... No, perhaps it should not be called a guest, because Gray Snake was standing behind the bar, wiping the wine glasses, although the black robe and metal mask did not look like a bartender at all.

"Absinthe on ice, and don't mess with my stuff."

Sitting down at the bar, Raven instructed skillfully, with a helpless expression.

Can't this Gray Snake guy change to a different model?

This is her bar, bought entirely with her own money. Don't treat it as the asset of World Snake!

"It's really surprising, Mr. Gray Snake." After expressing his surprise appropriately, Shi Hen paused and asked, "Do you have milk tea?"

"Of course. Three-tenths sugar for bubble tea. Do you want no ice?"

"want."

Shi Hen made the decision immediately.

This gray snake is much more professional than a certain mercenary.

Shi Hen glanced at a certain mercenary out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, hey, hey! This is a bar, a bar! Do you know what the word bar means?"

Raven drummed his fingers on the bar.

"Sister Natasha, have you ever thought about expanding your business? There's no money to be made just by selling alcohol..."

Shi Hen advised kindly.

He had been here several times, but he had never seen many customers in the Crow's Nest Bar.

Raven: "..."

"You two, please."

At this time, the amateur bartender Gray Snake handed out two glasses and carefully added a decorative lemon slice to Shihen's glass.

After taking a sip through the straw, Shi Hen's pupils widened and he gave Gray Snake a thumbs up: "Mr. Gray Snake's craftsmanship is not bad. I would rate this cup at least twenty yuan."

"Thank you Mr. Shihen for liking it."

Gray Snake responded in a hoarse voice.

Although he didn't understand what the twenty yuan evaluation meant.

On the other side, the raven's cheeks were puffed up with anger as he drank absinthe.

If the kid next to her wasn't an underage kid, she would have to show off her bartending skills!

"Let's get back to the topic. I have read the mission report this time. Mr. Shi Hen's strength is really surprising."

As he spoke, the gray snake's electronic eye flashed red.

Such a huge amount of Honkai energy is a very rare type among the stigma awakeners.

It seems that the boy's stigmata should be related to physical strengthening, otherwise he would not be able to withstand such a horrible load.

Looking at Shi Hen carefully, Gray Snake began to think secretly.

For someone of his level, it is very easy to infer that the other party has natural stigmata based on the performance of the time mark.

"Haha~"

Facing Gray Snake's praise, Shi Hen just smiled without any explanation.

As long as he doesn't admit that he is cheating, he is the most powerful genius in the world.

"Raven, do you have any other opinions?"

The red electronic eye stared at the mercenary, and Gray Snake said coldly.

Hearing the warning in Gray Snake's tone, Raven sipped his wine and whispered, "No."

Shi Hen had already demonstrated his talent and ability, leaving her no room to suppress him at all.

"In that case, welcome Mr. Shihen to join the World Snake."

The gray snake said in a hoarse voice that showed a smile, and pushed a palm-sized silver card towards the boy.

"World Serpent?"

As he picked up the card and observed it, Shi Hen's tone was filled with a hint of doubt.

"World Snake, this is the real name of our organization." Gray Snake explained, "This card is Mr. Shihen's identity card. You can use it to access the organization's internal website. I believe the content inside will satisfy Mr. Shihen.

At the same time, it is also an anonymous bank card. Ten million euros is a gift from Snake to Mr. Shi Hen. "

Shi Hen's hand holding the card couldn't help but tremble.

World Snake, he's really fucking rich!

After being in the underworld for so long, the total money he had was only about 200,000 euros, but the World Snake could easily take away fifty times his wealth with a wave of his hand.

"You guys are pretty generous."

After being stunned for a while, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh.

"Compared to Mr. Shihen's ability, this is just an insignificant little gift."

The gray snake shook his head and laughed softly.

In the underground black market, the bounty for a Stigma Awakener is at least tens of millions of Euros.

For someone like the teenager who has developed to a certain level, hundreds of millions of euros is just enough.

For a true superior, money is just a number, and is not worth mentioning at all compared to a rare treasure like a natural stigmata.

"It seems that this 10 million is still a bit hot."

Shi Hen looked at the gray snake with a smile.

Being able to give away 10 million at will, the World Snake naturally desires greater benefits.

"What did Mr. Hen mean then?"

Gray Snake asked slowly.

"From now on, we are colleagues." With a flick of his wrist, the silver card disappeared between his fingers. Shi Hen showed a bright smile on his face, "Please give me your guidance, Mr. Gray Snake."

As soon as he finished speaking, a string of subtitles that only Shi Hen could see appeared in front of him.

[Novice Mission: Saint Freya's Gate: You have already had a preliminary understanding of the madness of this world. It is time to join a secret organization that fights against the collapse and find a group of like-minded companions to save the world. (Completed)]

[You have received the reward: Looping Snake]

[Looping Snake: The snake connected head to tail is the closed loop of fate. When you receive fatal damage, you will ignore the attack and recover to full state. Cooling time 24 hours.]

[The main quest has been started. ]

[Main Quest: Path of Destiny: You have become a member of a secret organization that resists the collapse, so hide behind the world and work hard to become the final boss. (Current progress: 0.1%)]

[You have obtained the phased reward: Blank Herrscher Core.]

[Blank Herrscher Core: A high-energy crystal that contains powerful Honkai energy. It has the mysterious power to communicate with imaginary space. It may change after encountering the authority of other Herrschers.]

After reading all the subtitles, Shi Hen's smile suddenly became even wider.

The World Serpent was more generous than he had expected.

Chapter 6: A Fateful Encounter

Ah, what nice weather.

Raising his palm to cover the fireball that was emitting endless light and heat in the sky, Shi Hen glanced at the crowded beach in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

This is a coastal city in Sicily, southern Europe.

A week ago, Raven said he had received an important mission, so he took Shi Hen all the way from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, leaving the Crow's Nest Bar facing the dilemma of closing down again.

Why open a bar when you can easily get missions to travel around the world?

Shi Hen really couldn't understand the thoughts of this legendary mercenary.

But after arriving in Sicily, Raven had no intention of taking him to carry out the mission. Instead, he was nowhere to be seen all day long, and no one knew what he was doing.

Out of boredom, Shi Hen started wandering around Sicily.

Enjoying the scenery and eating delicious food every day, life is pretty relaxing and comfortable.

Although the important task mentioned by Raven was of great concern, Shi Hen certainly would not lose his appetite for such a reason.

Live every day with all your heart, this is his life motto.

After all, we never know when this world will collapse.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Shi Hen walked towards the beach.

The scorching sun made the sand a little hot. When you stepped on it barefoot, you could feel the heat surging upward from the soles of your feet, giving you an inexplicable stimulation.

It's quite comfortable.

Feeling the strange texture of the sand and gravel rubbing against his feet, Shi Hen's mood also became warm.

Sunshine, beaches, girls in swimsuits…the Sicilian coast has a very summery feel.

Even though it was already autumn in Northern Europe and some places were even snowing, Sicily on the Mediterranean was still sunny.

Strolling casually along the beach, waves hit the soles of his feet, leaving behind some sand and foam. Shi Hen glanced at the crowds of people around him, admiring the exotic beach style.

Young children playing with sand sculptures, young men and women playing beach volleyball, girls applying essential oils to each other, a white-haired ball on a high chair... Wait, it seems like there is something inexplicable mixed in.

Blinking his eyes, looking at a white-haired girl sitting on a high chair wearing a lifeguard outfit, Shi Hen couldn't help but doubt his life.

With white hair, blue eyes, and the fact that he looked around and didn't look very smart, Shi Hen was sure in his heart that this person was most likely the one he was thinking of.

As if she noticed Shi Hen's gaze, the girl also looked over from a distance, revealing an incomparably brilliant smile, her big white teeth sparkling in the sun.

What a fool with a glowing body.

They were clearly just strangers who met by chance, they didn't even say a word to each other, and they were even more than thirty meters apart from each other, but this white-haired idiot still showed his kindness.

Thinking of this, Shi Hen blinked and smiled.

It was barely a greeting, and Shi Hen turned around and plunged into the sea.

This encounter was just accidental, and he had no intention of going up to the other party and getting to know him.

His limbs slapping the sea water pushed his body farther and farther away from the shore. Shi Hen soon put the matter behind him and enjoyed this beach trip wholeheartedly.

What a weirdo.

Watching the black-haired boy in the distance gradually disappearing in the waves, the lifeguard girl touched her head in confusion.

But, he's pretty handsome.

Thinking of that fleeting but impressive face, the smile on the girl's face gradually faded.
