Chapter 4: Side Mission: Extreme Dark Nest (Completed).
After selecting to submit, a prompt appeared instead.
[Prompt: The faction unit of the mission you submitted has refused to participate in this notarization. Without both parties participating in the notarization, the mission cannot be submitted.]
"I will not yield."
Youyouna said the toughest words with the most cowardly expression.
"Is that so? Then I'll go find Shalein."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, he received a prompt that the mission had been successfully submitted.
[Prompt: Completing the above mission, you have obtained a total of 7.95 million Moon Silver Coins.]
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao had Amu untie Youyouna. In Youyouna's perception, this was terrifying; she felt she was about to be silenced.
After being untied, Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Youyouna stared at each other wide-eyed. After half a minute of this stalemate, Su Xiao cast a suspicious glance and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Huh? I can leave?!"
Youyouna was completely stunned.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, which made Youyouna immediately turn and walk away. She had only taken two steps when a voice came from behind.
"Wait."
"!"
Youyouna stopped in her tracks, almost bursting into sparkling tears. The enemy was both cunning and cruel, giving her hope only to crush it.
"It's over 10 kilometers from here to the nearest bus station. You can drive away."
Su Xiao picked up the car keys from the table and tossed them to Youyouna. Youyouna was completely frozen. After a few seconds, she shed her earlier tension and walked out of the basement with relative composure. Feeling a bit hungry because she hadn't eaten much at lunch, she grabbed a bag of wild nuts from the kitchen of the gem workshop.
As for why Youyouna's courage suddenly surged, it was because she had experienced too many ups and downs today. She had given up, letting things be whatever they would be. She had finally seen through it—fate could be so clever that it made one doubt life itself. Even a mission submission could involve tying up an NPC. Sitting in the driver's seat of the car, Youyouna chewed on the nuts in her mouth and suddenly felt that these nuts were really delicious. No wonder they were wild nuts hard to find in stores.
...
Inside the Twilight City Inner City, Su Xiao's temporary residence.
Sitting on a single sofa, he checked the time and felt it was time to go to the Great Library to find the Hand of Fate, Ashwiss. The other party had been boosting his luck for so long; it must have been quite tiring. However, the "Power Fragment" hadn't been synthesized yet, so the other party needed to hold on a bit longer. The smooth trip to Dawnlight City this time was likely due to the convenience brought by the other party's boost.
[Prompt: Power Lord (Nourishing Type · Immortal Rank Equipment) has absorbed enough natural force in this world. You can use this equipment to convert the absorbed and stored World Force into a "Power Fragment." There are three types of "Power Fragments" as follows.]
