Chapitre 58: Chapter 58: One Move, That's Enough
"Because of 400 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story
Bronya arrived at the meeting point.
Except for her, everyone else was already there.
Although they had almost no sleep last night, Gu Tang and Seele seemed not tired at all.
It's worth mentioning that Dan Heng looked particularly energetic and refreshed, with even smoother skin, suggesting he had rested well.
"Finally here, Miss. Hmph... I thought you overslept," Seele said, arms crossed, looking at the approaching Bronya.
Bronya didn't respond, merely glancing at the faint red marks on Seele's thighs and smiling warmly.
"You...!" Seele glared at her, gritting her teeth.
The important thing was that she couldn't act out now. With so many people around, if Bronya revealed what happened last night, her reputation would be ruined...
Stelle looked at Seele and Bronya, then at Gu Tang, and asked, "Did something happen?"
"Nothing at all! I'm just eager to meet Svarog!" Seele shouted loudly.
Stelle frowned slightly, showing suspicion.
Her intuition was sharp.
But not as sharp as Dan Heng's.
Dan Heng could sense from the atmosphere that both Seele and Bronya's goodwill towards Gu Tang had increased.
So, he turned to March 7th and said, "March, you should be more vigilant."
"What? Where are the snacks?" March 7th's expression was innocent.
Dan Heng: "..."
"Speaking of which, I did pack a lot of snacks. We should give some to the conductor when we get back to the train," Gu Tang said, taking out a large bag of snacks and weighing it in his hand.
Snacks...
March 7th licked her lips.
She sidled up to Gu Tang and said, "Gu Tang, aren't you tired? I can take care of this bag of snacks for you..."
"March, I need to remind you that while bringing snacks for the conductor is fine, bringing snack packaging is over the top," Dan Heng reminded.
"Dan Heng, snacks are meant to be eaten, but packaging has more collectible value. Don't you think so?" March 7th argued seriously.
"Actually, the packaging can be eaten too..." Gu Tang muttered softly.
"So, are we setting off now?" Bronya asked.
Dan Heng shook his head, "Mr. Oleg just came by, saying he will arrange a guide for us. We need to wait for the guide to arrive."
"Ugh, needing a guide is such a hassle..." Seele scratched her head in annoyance, then looked at Bronya, "Why not have your all-knowing sage come guide us?"
"No, with both Gu Tang and I not at the camp, the sage needs to manage the camp," Bronya replied.
Seele scoffed, "Hmph, really seeing yourself as the boss of the vagrants' camp, huh..."
Bronya didn't respond, just patted her thigh.
"...Is that the only move you know?" Seele gritted her teeth.
"Hey guys, missed me?"
A familiar voice sounded, and a recognizable figure walked over.
Blue hair, green eyes, and an enigmatic smile.
Sampo appeared in front of them.
"Huh? It's you?" March 7th's tone was surprised.
"Oleg sent me to guide you. As soon as I heard I could help friends, I rushed over," Sampo said, rubbing his hands with a smile.
Seele frowned, "I mean... everyone in the Underworld knows where Svarog's base is, why do we need you as a guide?"
"Well, it's specialized knowledge. The Underworld may know where Svarog's base is, but they've never been inside," Sampo said, puffing out his chest.
Gu Tang looked at Sampo, "You've been inside?"
"No..." Sampo deflated a bit, "But I've scouted the mechanical settlement thoroughly, collected many clues, and I'm sure I can help you."
"But why were you poking around their settlement?" March 7th asked.
Bronya stroked her chin, "Even though it's my first time meeting him... he doesn't seem reliable."
Seele glanced at her, "Congratulations, you're right."
"This calls for my invention." Gu Tang took out a syringe from behind him.
"What's that?" March 7th asked curiously.
Gu Tang confidently held up the syringe, "This is my proud creation—Endless Pain Serum. Once injected, it makes one experience all the pains in the world continuously, making life unbearable."
Bronya: "That's pretty standard. I thought you'd pull out something like a conscience amplifier."
Gu Tang: "What are you talking about, Bronya? I wouldn't pull out something so unscientific."
Bronya: "..."
Sampo looked at the syringe in Gu Tang's hand, cold sweat pouring down, and quickly interrupted, "Wait a moment, Mr. Gu Tang. Thanks to me, your companions could find you in the Underworld!"
Dan Heng crossed his arms, speaking coldly, "That's indeed a favor, but I recall... it balanced out with you escaping alone in the snowfield."
"Right, and then you tricked Dan Heng into the arena. So, you still owe us," March 7th added.
Reasoning didn't work, so it was time for emotions.
Sampo looked at Gu Tang with teary eyes, "Mr. Gu Tang... I never intended any harm to you or your friends. These days, I've had no achievements but plenty of hardships, and if not hardships, at least fatigue..."
Gu Tang thought for a moment and put the serum away, "Hmm... you make a point. I won't use this on you."
Sampo sighed in relief.
"How about this, considering you did help March 7th and the others... I won't use harmful or hindering tools on you. I'll use a strengthening tool," Gu Tang said to Sampo.
Sampo blinked, "A strengthening tool?"
"Yes, it increases attributes, strengthening both body and mind. It's beneficial with no side effects," Gu Tang nodded.
Sampo was delighted.
Could it be that Gu Tang wanted to reward me first to motivate me?
Oh... he's too kind. Even without rewards, I'd work hard.
But if a friend offers a gift, refusing would be rude, hehehe...
Sampo thought happily.
Pop.
Gu Tang jabbed a small syringe into his arm.
Sampo touched his arm, a bit excited, "What does this do?"
"It increases your charisma," Gu Tang said truthfully.
Charisma!?
Is it finally my time to shine?
Sampo felt refreshed and smoothed his hair.
"Although, it only works on the same gender," Gu Tang added.
Huh?
Sampo froze mid-motion.
