Chapter 259 : O (´^｀)O
Chapter 259 - O (´^｀)O.
Gu Luoyu had long since picked up the prophecy stone that Ye Sheng had thrown away.
Within the range of her psychic barrier, other than guarding against monster attacks, nothing could escape her detection, so she naturally easily found the prophecy stone that had been tossed aside.
Ye Sheng’s strength wasn’t particularly great, so she couldn’t throw it very far… As for why she could hurl the fake dagger directly into the river, it was, of course, due to Gu Luoyu’s ‘secret assistance.’
After all, they had to ‘destroy the evidence.’
However, the reason she didn’t return the stone to Ye Sheng immediately was simple, the stone still posed a threat.
Just as Gu Luoyu took the prophecy stone into her hand, a sudden suction force appeared. It wasn’t devouring flesh and blood but greedily absorbing psychic energy, which piqued Gu Luoyu’s interest.
So, this was the thing that had threatened Ye Sheng’s life and safety…
Instead of throwing the stone away immediately, she clenched it tightly in her palm, generously channeling more psychic energy into it, continuously feeding it.
Even after the prophecy stone stopped absorbing energy, Gu Luoyu didn’t stop, forcefully pumping more psychic energy into it.
Until the prophecy stone couldn’t withstand the massive influx of energy and cracked, its surface covered with countless fine lines, and a faint yellow light flickered at the cracks, as if a firefly was trapped inside, glowing incessantly.
Realizing that the prophecy stone wasn’t something docile, Gu Luoyu naturally didn’t dare to hand it directly to Ye Sheng. She decided to toss it into her badge space first, planning to pour more psychic energy into it a few more times to tame it completely.
[The amusement park tour time has ended. Welcome to visit again next time.]
With everything going smoothly, time passed quickly. Before Ye Sheng could fully savor the joy of her ‘zero-dollar shopping’ spree, both she and Gu Luoyu’s bodies turned transparent once again.
A fierce wind swept around them, blowing debris and rubble into the air. Not far away, sounds could be heard, as if some creature had noticed the commotion and was rushing over. Unfortunately… it was too late. Ye Sheng and Gu Luoyu had already been transported back to their original world.
When the wind dissipated, Ye Sheng opened her eyes, which had been stinging from the wind, and saw that the scene before her was no longer a landscape of construction waste but the familiar living room of her home.
However, the neatly arranged items were now scattered, and even the coffee table had been overturned…
Only Ye Heiya excitedly came running over, ‘cooing’ incessantly. After a few days apart, it had become especially clingy, circling around Ye Sheng nonstop, almost making her dizzy.
Just as Ye Sheng ordered Ye Heiya to stop, a white bird stood up from its back, staring at her with round, wide eyes, its adorable and innocent appearance utterly endearing.
It was the newly hatched pet, Xiao Bai, which possessed a miraculous healing ability. While using its power, it could also provide Ye Sheng with a significant boost in vitality, meeting the needs of the little one in her belly.
“Oh, Xiao Bai, how have you been lately? Are you feeling uncomfortable? If so, you have to tell me, don’t…”
Compared to the now-larger Ye Heiya, Xiao Bai had become Ye Sheng’s new favorite. She chattered away, then picked up Xiao Bai and headed to the bedroom to bond, leaving Ye Heiya and Gu Luoyu staring at each other.
As Gu Luoyu’s cold gaze fell upon Ye Heiya, the already sensitive swan couldn’t help but shiver.
It trembled like a small animal encountering a predator, shrinking back fearfully.
The swan tucked its entire neck in and scurried away, quickly following Ye Sheng into the room… For some reason, after just a few days apart, Ye Heiya felt that Gu Luoyu had become even more terrifying.
Just one glance was enough to scare it half to death.
Seeing Ye Heiya’s cowardly demeanor, Gu Luoyu, who remained in place, suddenly smiled, recalling the saying, ‘Like owner, like pet.’
…
After returning from the amusement park and resting at home for a few more days, Ye Sheng enjoyed a life of carefree laziness, so comfortable that she almost lost her drive!
Realizing this, Ye Sheng immediately snapped out of it, knowing she shouldn’t entertain such thoughts.
This was a post-apocalyptic wasteland world!
Although they now had the ability to live carefree, no one knew what tomorrow might bring. Just like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you’ll fall behind. She couldn’t leave her life to fate and luck!
However, due to their earlier speculation that the base authorities and the Black Spring Freemasonry would soon cooperate to explore the ocean, there was a high likelihood that Gu Luoyu, a free psychic ability user, would be recruited. Therefore, they couldn’t take on high-level team missions.
Time-consuming missions were also out of the question.
After carefully sifting through the options, they finally found a suitable mission, a simple bodyguard task. They only needed to escort a small team of less than thirty people on a wilderness hunt, protecting the lives of a few individuals.
In essence, it was some high-ranking officials’ children from the central area of the base, who suddenly decided to test their skills in the wilderness.
But because they lacked sufficient security personnel, they sought skilled individuals at a higher cost to issue a team mission… It’s worth noting that ordinary mercenary missions only required base points, but team points were much rarer and harder to obtain.
They couldn’t be exchanged for base points.
After Ye Sheng read the mission details, she couldn’t help but click her tongue. Privileged classes existed everywhere! But it was precisely because of these people that they could make a fortune~
Ye Sheng didn’t resent the wealthy.
Although she sometimes felt a pang of envy, she would quickly move on, as there were countless ways to live a life, each different.
Just like her, Ye Sheng, who came from another world, had she ever boasted about it?
O (´^｀)O.
And who could resist the allure of points~
Hehehe, this bodyguard mission offered 800 team points upon acceptance… It’s worth noting that team points weren’t as easily obtained as base points. They could only be earned through base merit rewards and team missions.
Of course, since team points could be freely traded, they could also be bought on the black market.
But hardly anyone sold them, so their value had skyrocketed.
After all, team points were incredibly useful. They could be exchanged for special weapons and potions in the exclusive team store, items that weren’t available on the market!
With powerful weapons and potions, it was like having an extra life. In the dangerous wasteland world, no one could resist such a temptation.
Even Ye Sheng didn’t mind having more team points.
So, such opportunities to earn points should come more often~
Trusting in Gu Luoyu’s abilities, Ye Sheng didn’t think this bodyguard mission would be particularly difficult. In fact, she felt it would be completed smoothly and quickly.
But…
Little did she know, on the very first day of the mission, she would encounter a problem.
