Surviving The Fourth Calamity
Chapter 1759 - 336: The Perfect Duet
’Snow Cloud Peak’ reluctantly turned his head to gaze at the giant screen, stomping his foot a few times: "How long do you think you can keep hiding down there?
If you’re certain you can’t hang on, go offshore and switch to someone who can hold on.
I can’t watch over everything by myself.
I don’t want to start scolding people now, so you’d better get it right."
’Susu’ didn’t hesitate at all: "I’ve already organized today’s task timeline, ready to switch out at any time; everything that needs doing is written down... someone with enough guts should be able to complete it, if not... then not~
Anyway, I can’t do it at all."
’Snow Cloud Peak’ sighed... ’Susu’ was obviously saying that only gutsy folks would be willing to take on her tasks.
That means he’ll have to personally direct step by step.
But he does need someone to do some handy tasks.
Whatever, whoever cares~
"Make sure you organize the process well; if he can’t figure this out, I’ll scold you too." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ felt this was the most reasonable thing he’d ever said.
’Susu’ swiftly disappeared beneath the floor, heading straight for the ocean without looking back... ’Snow Cloud Peak’ quirked the corner of his mouth, probably the fastest move the Female Priest had made in her life.
He silently propped his head, glanced at the ocean once more, then turned back.
’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly felt a bit troubled... Given his usual temper, the Magic Cult wouldn’t let girls follow him to handle internal affairs, definitely not, ah, not just because their tempers were the best.
Also because among those willing to do this work, these two were not only the most capable but also far ahead.
The folks from the Magic Cult can’t say their ability is poor... they’re determined and united old friends.
But among these very well-related, habitually slack family members, would anyone be willing to take over ’Susu’s work?
’Snow Cloud Peak’ himself couldn’t believe it.
So when he saw a certain outsider arriving, though somewhat unexpected, there was more of a feeling... inevitably, it had come to this helpless situation.
"You actually came on your own!" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ knocked on the table twice, shaking his head with a wry smile, "Well, you’re the only one."
Dressed in a pretty black dress embroidered with gold thread, her double ponytails still sparkling with golden light, ’Perfect Bald’ returned his sweet smile: "Of course, who else would be so magnanimous."
"I thought it would be the Magic Sword; after all, Susu knows well that you’re the only completely non-troublesome family.
But if she were to seek assistance..."
’Snow Cloud Peak’ raised an eyebrow looking at ’Perfect Bald’, the meaning clear: shouldn’t you send the most foolish and easily directed one?
Why come yourself?
"Indeed, only our family has truly reached the retirement age, certainly not wanting any more mishaps, especially man-made ones." ’Perfect Bald’ casually settled onto a sofa, directly bending a leg, an arm propped on it supporting his chin.
He tilted his head towards ’Snow Cloud Peak’: "Indeed, Magic Sword is quite fitting, but I’m unwilling.
Wanting retirement and being retired aren’t the same thing.
Me, having zero interest in being used as a soft target!
Hah... with Road Eunuch around, even though these times we haven’t let him see everything, over sixty percent of reality, that guy should have it figured out.
Zhu Meili was never one to willingly contribute, the fact she ended up completing so much for Road Eunuch clearly points to some exchange of interests on their part.
Haven’t you figured out this is why you confidently direct those two to do tasks?
Tsk~
The better they perform, the bigger the mess they create.
I previously didn’t care as much due to plans to slowly retire, but now, certainly not!
Though a pigsty might smell a bit, at least you can live in it if you’re diligent.
A manure pit is simply unacceptable."
With some frustration, he kicked his other leg a few times: "Black and White Path is my predecessor.
Their family can easily change direction when needed.
Our Black Rose, a double-trailer, ha~
If this round succeeds for them, the next to suffer will surely be me." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
He tilted his head toward ’Snow Cloud Peak’: "Alliance, well, it’s just like that.
It’s possible to lend a hand to the neighbor, but first ensure your own safety, don’t give too much either.
Just like if I hadn’t realized this point, sending Magic Sword or some idle person your way, you wouldn’t share many reminders.
Even if you had said something... who could expect those two to convey the meaning clearly?
They might mess up the recording process completely."
’Snow Cloud Peak’ didn’t deny ’Perfect Bald’s words, there was no need for him to.
After all, it was all honest truth he recognized too.
"Having you here is quite good." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ chuckled, "At least you won’t be startling or annoying, my anger has already built up significantly today."
"Eh? Why?" ’Perfect Bald’ was puzzled, "Weren’t you already guessing Zhu Meili would hit Ink Brush hard?
Though it’s a bit revolting, but really... for you, it’s not that... Hmm, haven’t you seen enough worms?"
Their ugly worms are all enlarged versions.
Truly hair-raising.
Though as ordinary folks, being well-protected by the army, they still need to learn some basic knowledge, so when an accident happens, they at least know what to do.
The impact of that thing is truly strong; for the average person encountering it, thinking of ways to resist is impossible; knowing how to flee or quickly seek help is already commendable.
Especially for those needing to visit other galaxies, they must pass a basic knowledge test to get permission... Over at Eden, ha~
They love encouraging citizens to take responsibility for their own lives, the weapons market is quite open.
’Snow Cloud Peak’ might find it merely disgusting, but he certainly wouldn’t be angered by it.
Then ’Perfect Bald’ heard what seemed like a loud and not solely directed at him complaint.
"Hill... is a good person." ’Perfect Bald’ could only choose to defend Snow Old Dog, after all, he also needed to know how to handle this matter, "His temper passes quickly, whatever the issue, once he’s calmed down, ask away, absolutely fine; we Undead Tribe might have offended him numerous times, but he still willingly helps us."
Always silent, pretending not to hear ’Snow Cloud Peak’s veiled jabs, Aesces, at this moment, hesitated again... he recalled the song ’Lost Little Bear’s Song’ from back then.
Aesces felt he’d merely misspoken, nothing worse than that!
Then, having straightened out his thoughts, staring blankly at the broadcasting equipment on the giant screen, Hill greeted Aesces, who arrived once again, with an expression of bewilderment: "Anything?"
"Hill, how do you kill these worms, those flies, and butterflies?" Aesces asked seriously.
"Hmm?" Hill responded a bit dully, "Aren’t you the World Master?
Shouldn’t this be something you deal with in a year?
Why are you asking this?"
"Ah..." Aesces replied blankly, "I... hold on, since the Undead Tribe mentioned it, um... Surely it’s not something they haven’t figured out, right?"
He quickly relayed the Undead Tribe’s original words to Hill.
"Snow Cloud Peak was just worried I couldn’t directly tell them, so he used you as a messenger." Hill hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Also, it was your initial mistake that led to this result.
He merely used a gentler method to send you over, not genuinely expecting me to answer you."
Aesces was somewhat stunned.
"Wait... I understood your message!" It took a few minutes before he shouted, "Snow Cloud Peak used me to ask a question but didn’t expect me to deliver a perfect answer?
My..." He pondered for a moment but couldn’t say the word "task," "just helping him ask a question?
Also, if you’re still angry, would you vent it on me?"
