Chapter 257: Getting Answers and Shocking an 18th floor Contestant!
"Ara-Ara!" The sweetest voice reached Kai's ears along with a screeching sound as if she was whetting a sword.
Kai was too familiar with this sound to not recognize it.
"Hello, handsome," she said. "You want to ask about the Random World you are in, don't you? Is that why you haven't left the cave?"
Kai could hear the Contestant Aphrodite giggle. It didn't shock him that his intentions were guessed so easily by her. What did the 18th floor signify? Kai couldn't even imagine. All he could do was nod.
"I can tell you," she told him. "What will you give me in return?"
Kai frowned. Yes, how could he forget he had to pay Mission Credits to the System to get answers last time? What did she want, then? What could he possibly give her?
"I want little," she intoned. "Just one thing."
This didn't please Kai in the slightest. With her taking the initiative to ask something, it meant she had already predicted that he would soon contact a Sponsor to get the Info. That she just happened to be the first, had just given an upper hand over others.
"What is it?" Kai asked, refusing to say more than he was required.
Once again she giggled, the whetstone honing the sword victoriously with a high-pitch sound. "Your Mission Grade," she said. "Tell me your Mission Grade and you will have what you desire, handsome."
My Mission Grade?! Kai frowned.
