Chapter 615
In other words...
In Lin Yu's eyes, Firefly and the group of security personnel who had just been performing their duties were no different at all.
He saved Firefly once, simply because she was a good person.
Judging from what he said to Firefly and the strength Lin Yu has shown so far, Lin Yu... probably really had no ulterior motives and was simply helping someone in need.
He didn't need Firefly to pay any price before he voluntarily helped Firefly.
As someone whose personality is relatively gentle when not on missions, Firefly felt a bit awkward at this moment.
Even when faced with someone who has ulterior motives, as long as that person helps her, Firefly intends to repay their kindness through her actions without betraying her companions.
And now, Lin Yu probably has absolutely no ulterior motives towards her.
In this situation, Lin Yu helped her once, so the favor he did for her was even greater.
Feeling at ease but not fully aware of her own thoughts, Firefly Ying mustered her courage and whispered to Lin Yu.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin Yu."
"If you need any help from me, I will do everything I can to help you."
"Oh, about that..."
After a moment's thought, Lin Yu tilted his head and looked at Firefly.
"Coordinates of the other Stellaron Hunters, thank you."
"No, this..."
Firefly, caught in a mental struggle, shook her head gently at Lin Yu after showing a troubled expression.
"Even if you want to do something worse to me, or ask me to do something that is life-threatening for you, that's fine."
"However, I will never betray anyone."
"Oh, just kidding, don't mind me—after all, I never intended to ask you for any compensation from the beginning."
"By the way, after thinking about it for a long time, it seems that you don't have anything that I can ask for."
"There's nothing for you to ask for"—you say this because you know perfectly well that what you're doing right now is the optimal solution.
[For a woman like Firefly, who is relatively easy to understand in matters of the heart, first offer her ample warmth, then subtly and casually lower her price with nonchalant words.]
If you encounter some ungrateful bitches, your current actions will only make them secretly laugh at you for being a sucker.
[But Firefly is clearly different from that group. Miss Iron Cavalry, who lacks experience in this area, was successfully manipulated by your targeted tactics.]
If I were to say that I really didn't intend to use PUA... well, I know what you're trying to say.
Sodayo, the key to judging a person is not what they think, but what they do.
What did I do—saving someone emotionally without expecting anything in return is considered PUA, right?
That's just how things are these days. Haven't you seen enough before you were sent to another world by a dump truck?
I've never seen anyone like that before. After all, after being taken away by dump trucks, I was an orphan from a poor family and I was also quite withdrawn. Nobody wanted to associate with someone like me.
The bad news is, I've never met a woman.
The good news is, I didn't have the chance to meet any bad women.
But now, I think you probably have a chance to meet them.
I think so too—it's ridiculous, I was just chatting casually with Firefly, how come someone came knocking on my door?
[And she even came directly to you—how could you let such a beautiful girl, who practically offered herself up, slip through your fingers!]
Please spare me! Even if I could beat this old lady, I wouldn't want to have any excessive contact with her.
Are you that afraid of her?
I'm a pervert.
Oh, so suddenly so candid?
She is indeed a beautiful girl.
That's true, it's just that her figure is a bit of a letdown.
But this guy...
Wow, what you're thinking right now is really weird.
Just tell me whether she can do it or not.
[They definitely can do it; this is absolutely something that person is capable of!]
At this moment, Liu Firefly, who had no idea that Lin Yu was in a daze, felt her sense of loss become even more intense than before.
If it were someone else who helped her, Firefly, as a member of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, could do a lot, and she was confident that she could repay their kindness.
But Lin Yu...
He is different.
He is personally very capable, and even possesses some remarkable special skills.
Firefly's two unlucky companions, Silver Wolf and Kafka, suffered a loss because of this.
Although Firefly wasn't exactly at a disadvantage, and even started making a fortune because of her encounter with Lin Yu, the problem was...
That's just how she is. Now that Lin Yu has done this to her, on Firefly Ying's surface level, she feels that she owes Lin Yu a huge favor.
The feeling of not repaying a debt of gratitude made Firefly feel extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, for someone like Firefly, who is from an opposing force, Lin Yu's decision not to take action is already considered a favor.
The grace of not being killed is the greatest grace, and the grace of being saved is unwavering.
Now that two kinds of gratitude are intertwined, Firefly can't possibly take Lin Yu to eat oak cake rolls with the money she's earned in the past few days, can she?
Moreover, if we think about it calmly now, after Lin Yu arrived at the Herta Space Station, Jarilo-VI, and Luofu Xianzhou, something really did happen in those three regions.
The Herta Space Station is the docking point for the Stellaron Hunters, while the Jarilo-VI and Penacony are the routes set by the train crew.
As for the Luofu Xianzhou — Firefly hasn't forgotten it yet; this is the result of Kafka's guidance.
Now, wherever Lin Yu goes, trouble seems to follow.
This universe possesses the power of destiny, and sometimes it is indeed possible for things that are not scientifically accurate to happen.
Those troublemakers in the fantasy world who cause trouble wherever they go... are actually entirely possible in a universe with the power of destiny.
With Lin Yu here, Penacony is probably really in trouble.
If Firefly wanted to stick to the original plan now, taking Lin Yu for a walk around the area before heading to her secret base...
—Isn't this delaying Lin Yu's time to save people?!
While Firefly was still pondering what to do, she suddenly became extremely vigilant.
Lin Yu was much stronger than Firefly, at this moment, Firefly sensed a malice and protected Lin Yu behind her while taking out her Glamoth Iron Cavalry Armor donner.
"Oh my, isn't this my loyal customer—Brother Lin Yu?"
Sometime later, 'Svarog,' who was most likely on the Immortal Ship preparing to return to Jarilo, appeared in Penacony and approached Lin Yu with a bright smile.
"It's been so long, darling!"
Honey, darling?
Looking at the at least 1.8-meter-tall 'Svarog', and then at the incredibly handsome Lin Yu beside her, Firefly was completely shocked.
That man, the one who called Lin Yu 'darling'?
What exactly is this guy's relationship with Lin Yu?!
"Oh, it's Brother Svarog."
Upon seeing the familiar face before him, Lin Yu suddenly spread his arms wide in an incredibly flamboyant manner and walked towards the man.
"It's been so long, I've missed you terribly!"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, 'Svarog' naturally walked towards Lin Yu.
Comrade Svarog Koski, although his combat strength is unknown, is at least very shrewd and resourceful.
It was only when encountering someone like Lin Yu, who was impervious to reason and possessed considerable strength, that one could not only suffer less loss when facing Svarog, but also easily persuade him to participate in the struggle between the envoys with just a few words.
However, unaware of the truth, Firefly saw 'Svarog' continuing to approach her and Lin Yu, and at this moment, she spoke to him with great nervousness.
"Who are you, and what are you planning to do?!"
"Oh, I was just meeting up with an old friend."
After glancing at Lin Yu, 'Svarog' looked at Firefly with a subtle expression, a playful smile in his eyes.
"What, is this lovely lady Lin Yu's beloved wife, and that's why she's trying to stop my meeting with Brother Lin Yu?"
"That..."
Looking back at Lin Yu, who hadn't uttered a single word since the beginning, Firefly Ying suddenly felt uncertain.
From the beginning until now, the other party has never responded to a single word from the man who calls himself 'Svarog'.
Could it be that everything this man named Svarog says is...?
"Ah, Brother Svarog, I didn't expect to see you so soon."
At that moment, Lin Yu strolled towards the other person, opening his arms with a smile.
"Our friendship is so strong, it's like we'd be brothers in arms – more than just friends, we're like family."
"Handshakes are what friends do; as family, we should be hugging!"
"Well said!"
In response to Lin Yu's actions, 'Svarog' naturally opened his arms as well.
And after the two big guys hugged each other...
Lin Yu unleashed an incredibly terrifying power without any hesitation, instantly blasting the 'Svarog' to pieces.
"Ah, this..."
Seeing Lin Yu make this move, Firefly was even more dumbfounded.
Listening to what Firefly and the other person were saying, Firefly thought that the two people were really good friends who knew each other.
As a result, the other party suffered a comminuted fracture after meeting Lin Yu.
The relationship between the two of you... is truly quite twisted.
"How should I put it..."
'Firefly', who wanted to say that killing people indiscriminately is wrong, suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have the right to say that.
As Sam, he carried out Acheron's script, causing some minor and major disturbances.
If she were truly as innocent as a white lotus, untouched by any human life, how could the company have offered her a bounty of 9.7 billion Credits?
Compared to her, a wanted criminal by the company, there are plenty of people like Lin Yu, an unknown customer.
The wanted criminal accused the helpful anonymous guest of being too ruthless... I feel like saying that out loud would be a bit too hellish.
"Oh dear, your feelings are just too intense."
Even after Lin Yu inflicted a comminuted fracture, 'Svarog' didn't utter a single cry of pain. Instead, it rotated its head 360 degrees around its neck, creating a bizarre and unsettling scene as its neck twisted like a rebar.
"Forget it, no one dies in Penacony's dreams. Even if I give you a comminuted fracture, or do something even worse to you, it doesn't seem like a big deal."
Within this eerie painting, Lin Yu crouched down, looked at the 'Svarog' before him, and smiled as he spoke.
"After all, Svarog are very close friends, and now a thief is impersonating him right in front of me..."
"Hey, you thief, I only gave you a lesson, I've been very lenient."
"Besides—you're perfectly fine, aren't you, Ms. Sparkle, a member of the Masked Fool?"
"... Wow, you actually know who I am."
Svarog, who was paralyzed on the ground, suddenly transformed into a cute little girl. She jumped up from the ground and started hopping around Lin Yu as if nothing had happened.
"Hmm, let me guess— Svarog betrayed me? Or did you actually fall for me all along, which is why you went to other places to find out about my personal information?"
After saying that, Sparkle suddenly stopped and gave Lin Yu a pitiful look.
