Chapter 213
"Since we're all on vacation," Durandal said, seemingly regardless of whether Li Pu agreed or not, "Then you can be our guide. I'll cover your travel expenses, food, and entrance fees."
Durandal is very generous.
Li Pu seemed to accept the offer without hesitation, saying, "So, you're all alone?"
"What?" Durandal countered, "You need a lot of people?"
"How should I put it?" Li Pu said, "Of course, the more people the better. For example, you can bring Rita, and the rest of the team. It would be best to bring everyone."
"That way we can team up!"
"The benefits of group travel are all discounted."
"And you said, as the captain," Li Pu said, "You're the only one who eats well and has fun, while the other team members are just playing around like blind cats chasing mice."
"That's a bit unfair, and you yourself said that abandoning your teammates is not the behavior of a captain."
"So since it has many benefits and can also unite the team."
"Of course we should call them all together."
Chapter 243 Liprita
What do you want to do?
Setting a trap right in front of others.
Durandal may not be able to detect it, but that doesn't mean others aren't.
Rita could certainly tell.
So naturally, she would bypass Durandal and grab Li Pu to talk to, not only to keep her and Durandal there, but also to drag the whole squad around aimlessly.
Do you really think they're tourists?
Ah, Durandal is wonderful in every way.
He's just too straightforward.
This isn't good!
Well, thankfully Rita is there.
"What do you want to do?" Rita asked. "Our affairs have nothing to do with you, do they?"
"No, not at all." Li Pu spread his hands, feigning ignorance, and said, "Aren't you all here for tourism? And I'm here for tourism too. Since we're both here for tourism..."
Aren't we on the same path?
"We're here for tourism," Rita said. "But we don't need a tour guide, do we?"
"There's no need for you to volunteer to be our tour guide, is there?"
Rita frowned slightly; as expected, something was about to go wrong. She had a feeling something might happen when she told Durandal about it. She hadn't expected it to actually turn out this way!
This was probably something that had been expected, but Rita never imagined it would happen so quickly.
What a coincidence.
How long has it been? The first day of the official operation has already passed like this.
That's way too fast!
The speed was so fast that Rita felt it wasn't a coincidence but rather intentional.
But all of this was really just a coincidence.
Li Pu said, "I've already said it, being a tour guide is a win-win situation for everyone."
"Besides, even though I volunteered, didn't your captain agree?"
"What? Are you planning to bypass the team leader and prevent me from being the tour guide?"
"Of course not." Rita looked at him very gently and kindly and said, "I just want you to not want to be the tour guide."
It's best not to get involved!
Although the initial goals are the same, it does not mean that the final goals are the same.
Hyperion and Otto had different goals.
Rita followed Otto's ideas, not Hyperion's. Therefore, Rita could sense that Li Pu wasn't acting as their guide out of kindness.
Instead, they are interfering with their actions!
So...
"What if I disagree?" Li Pu said with a lewd smile, "Girl, are you planning to have a three-hundred-round battle with me?"
"Well, maybe you're planning to fight me for three hundred rounds."
"I might agree."
Li Pu's laughter made Rita very uncomfortable! Seriously uncomfortable. It didn't seem fake; it gave her the feeling that this was just his true nature.
Moreover, there was that gaze, that flippant tone, and that aggressive look in his eyes.
It really made Rita feel an urge to punch someone.
But she held back.
"Li Pu Lip," Rita's voice lowered, even adopting a more respectful tone, and became more threatening, "Although you are a favorite of Lord Otto."
"But that doesn't mean everyone has to give you special treatment."
"Please have some self-respect!"
"I weigh 65 kg," Li Pu joked. "What can you do to me if I don't have weight?"
Li Pu stepped forward, seemingly breaking through Rita's psychological defenses, and said in a pressuring tone, "If you want to fight dragons in the wild, that's fine too. I don't mind having a thorough and enjoyable battle right here."
"Let me show you the power of my big stick."
Li Pu took another step forward.
Li Pu seemed certain that Rita wouldn't make a move, appearing extremely brazen.
He was indeed unrestrained, even more aggressive! His gaze lingered on Rita without restraint, constantly focusing on certain alluring parts of her Rita.
"Do you really think I'll put up with this?" Rita said, taking a step back.
"If you don't intend to continue to endure this," Li Pu retorted, "Then what are you going to back down from?"
"Oh~" Rita tilted her head and looked at it carefully for a while, trying to suppress the disgust and impulse in her heart. After examining it carefully for a while, she made some decisions.
She lifted her shirt, revealing her shoulders and even making her cleavage faintly visible.
Then he took a step forward and gently touched Li Pu's chin with his right hand.
"Since you want it so badly," Rita, a woman named Allure, said, "I can give it a try."
Then the atmosphere became awkward.
Li Pu, he's an actor!
This is the first time I've tried playing a character other than my usual roles. A lecherous, audacious, and morally bankrupt rich kid.
Li Pu did this for a very simple reason.
She wanted to deal with Rita, this troublesome presence, first.
Li Pu was certain that Silly Goose wasn't on vacation; she definitely wouldn't understand the hidden meaning behind such simple words! Rita was definitely following along to prevent Durandal from taking a complete vacation and then being unable to find anyone when they really needed her.
Therefore, Li Pu considered Rita to be Silly Goose.
It would be best to deal with Rita in advance.
Things will be much easier to handle afterwards.
How to solve Rita?
Of course, I'll fight her!
As long as he doesn't take the initiative and forces Rita to fight him, while simultaneously not transforming, he can let Rita chase after him and slash at him, causing as much destruction as possible.
Rita couldn't stay in Changkong City any longer!
As for how to dodge Rita's attacks without transforming...
Li Pu was still very confident.
The system certainly won't let him just die like that.
However.
Just as Rita hadn't expected to encounter the Hyperion so soon, Li Pu also hadn't anticipated that Rita would pull such a trick on him.
Although he pretended to be an experienced driver.
But actually...
While I wouldn't say they're completely innocent, they're definitely a bunch of cowards!
This really can't be treated like a real fight or a regular challenge, something that's all about sex or physical intimacy. It even involves some fancy moves or something, you know.
Li Pu really didn't dare.
How should I put it?
Although, to be honest, he did want to.
But from a practical point of view, let's forget about it.
It's not always easy to meet someone you all know in the future.
But... what do we do now?
This is incredibly awkward!
Rita straightened her clothes, regaining her usual composure, and said, "It seems I really overestimated you, but I also underestimated you."
"Aren't you planning to give up at all?"
"Rita asked."
"Give me a reason to give up." Li Pu no longer wore the same sleazy expression as before, saying, "Why should I give up?"
"We are all Schicksal," Rita said. "Isn't that unnecessary?"
"But I don't think it's from the same mountain," Li Pu said. "Anyway, I don't think your ultimate goal, or rather yours, is the same as ours."
"And sooner or later, you and we will have a conflict over this."
"In that case, why don't we interfere with you?"
Now that Rita has brought this matter to light, Li Pu no longer needs to hide it.
"Since we share the same goal," Rita thought for a moment and then said, "Why can't we cooperate?"
"Even if we're not from the same mountain, we're not enemies."
"At least you don't count as reinforcements," Li Pu said. "You're still missing a few 'friendly forces' that remain steadfast in times of trouble between you and true reinforcements."
"Moreover, we only share the same goal, but there will definitely be more obvious and serious differences."
"Isn't there any possibility of compromise?" Rita said. "Or the possibility of cooperation?"
"If you think so," Li Pu said, shrugging, "Then tell me your purpose."
"Perhaps we can still back down."
Rita did not answer.
They couldn't say it; it was a secret operation they hadn't told anyone or anything. Although they were using tourism as a pretext, Rita knew perfectly well what they were really up to.
Moreover, even if everyone knows it perfectly well, they would never say it out loud.
Li Pu is clearly not giving Rita a chance to cooperate.
"Alright," Rita said, "Since neither of us can back down."
"Then let's leave it at that."
Rita thought for a moment, since she couldn't avoid it, she might as well just go along with it. After all, they wouldn't lose out.
