Their Commission Reward Is Not Right Chapter 44

These simple-minded militants instinctively rushed towards the source of the sound, and the gunshot from Kiana's hand was indeed quite loud.

So, after Honkai erupted in such a crowded place, while guns were useful, they also made one prone to being surrounded.

"Click!"

Just as Kiana was about to shoot and kill a militant that was rushing towards her after hearing the noise, the old thing in her hand suddenly jammed.

"Damn it, right at this moment!" Looking at the jammed gun in her hand, Kiana couldn't help but get angry.

However, this gun was indeed an old one, so jamming was quite normal.

For Kiana, obtaining a gun was quite difficult, so the gun in her hand was obtained two years ago. Although the ammunition was sufficient, who could have predicted that the gun would suddenly malfunction?

Of course, it was also possible that the bullets were the problem.

But in any case, jammed is jammed.

Temporarily putting away the gun in her hand, Kiana looked at the militants lunging at her and picked up a nearby stool.

Fortunately, this damned library still had some chairs.

"Whoosh!" Just as the chair was about to collide with the scythe in the militant's hand, a green arrow flew from a distance, piercing the militant's head, and then, grazing Kiana's hair, shot into the bookshelf behind her.

"Eek!" Kiana, feeling as though she had narrowly escaped death, immediately clutched her head and crouched down.

Kiana didn't think she would lose in a fight against a militant, but she would definitely die if she were hit by that arrow.

If only that arrow had shifted five centimeters lower...

And why was there an arrow?

What era was this, still using such outdated things?

"Hey, are you okay?" a gentle voice sounded.

Kiana looked up and saw a black-haired girl looking at her with concern.

However, there were quite a few militants in the library, and while this was happening, some more militants heard the commotion and rushed over.

Seeing the militants chasing after them, Raiden Mei gripped her long sword tightly, feeling as though she had found a use for it.

Then... those militants were all shot and killed by Chen Luo's arrows.

"..."

On this journey, they had encountered nearly a hundred militants, and the sword in Raiden Mei's hand had not touched a single living militant.

Raiden Mei even felt a bit unsure what the sword in her hand was for.

Was it for decoration?

However, such meticulous care warmed Raiden Mei's heart.

In this apocalyptic world, for someone to do this for her, could this be considered a true friend?

"Are you alright? Is everything okay?" Raiden Mei turned to Kiana and asked with concern.

"Thank you for your help, I'm fine." Kiana looked at the two gratefully.

Although she could have survived without them, these two had indeed helped her.

Kiana, who had stood up, glared at Chen Luo before checking her gun.

Kiana hadn't forgotten the arrow that had flown past her head.

"Fortunately, it was just a problem with the bullets and not the gun, but this gun really needs to be replaced." Kiana breathed a sigh of relief after checking her pistol and finding that it was a bullet issue.

"My name is Kiana, thank you for your help. I didn't expect there to be anyone else alive in the school besides me, and even more incredibly, there's a man." After sighing with relief, Kiana looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

"My name is Raiden Mei, and this is Chen Luo, but why do you say that? Is there something strange about men?" Raiden Mei asked, a little confused.

"Because men's Honkai Energy Adaptation is significantly lower than women's, so it's rare to see a man like this survive the Great Honkai." After reloading the magazine, Kiana held her gun, her gaze sweeping over the militants.

Chiba Academy, being a prestigious school, housed the wealthy and influential, so its grounds were vast, comparable to an academy city, which also meant the library was very large.

When the Honkai occurred, there were still many people in the library, so even after the fierce battle, there were still survivors. It was not a time to relax.

Just as Kiana was aiming at a militant approaching from a distance, drawn by the sound, a green arrow accurately hit the target's head, faster than Kiana.

"You're quite skilled, but why use arrows? If these things run out..." Kiana didn't hesitate to express her admiration for Chen Luo. Although he had almost taken off her skull just now, judging by the accuracy, he should have been completely confident.

However, ancient things like bows and arrows should have been obsolete long ago.

But when Kiana saw the bow that automatically produced a bowstring and arrows, she immediately shut her mouth.

Although her mouth was shut, her gun was still pointed directly at Chen Luo.

"Are you from Schicksal?" Kiana asked Chen Luo with a hint of wariness. Her dad had told her to be careful of people from Schicksal.

In Kiana's opinion, only people from Schicksal could create such black technology. Or rather, Kiana only knew of Schicksal.

And people from Schicksal were not good people.

"Ah, Kiana, what are you doing?" Seeing Kiana's actions, Raiden Mei instinctively stepped in front of Chen Luo.

Sensing that the bullet was indeed chambered and that she was in danger, Raiden Mei gripped her Unsheathed Sword tightly, and faint currents of electricity unconsciously wrapped around it.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down." Chen Luo reached out and pulled Raiden Mei, who was blocking him, aside. He then slung the bow over his back, indicating he meant no harm. This was because the Herrscher of Knowledge had told Chen Luo that Kiana had no intention of firing. Also, her gun had jammed again...

"I'm not from Schicksal, but I wouldn't mind joining them," Chen Luo said to Kiana.

"Schicksal? What's that?" Raiden Mei asked.

"It's not a good organization. While they are an organization that fights the Honkai, there are many bad rumors about them. My dad told me never to get involved with Schicksal." Kiana lowered her gun slightly, but didn't completely let her guard down.

"Just think of the Honkai as some kind of **** hidden behind the world," Kiana said, showing a significant bias as she described Schicksal.

"The reason why the Honkai, which can turn people into militants, isn't publicly known in the world is largely due to the Schicksal organization manipulating things behind the scenes. Their power has infiltrated all parts of the world, and they can even be said to be the undercurrent secretly controlling the world's direction."

Because of Siegfried's upbringing of Kiana, Kiana never had any good feelings towards Schicksal.

"Alright, alright, I already said I'm not from Schicksal. If I were really from Schicksal, I would have knocked you out the moment I saw you and taken you to the Bishop for a reward." Chen Luo said the last part in his mind.

"But you want to join Schicksal."

"What's wrong with joining Schicksal? The key is that there's an organization, and they even pay a salary. I heard they offer social insurance and housing funds too," Chen Luo muttered quietly.

"But Alo, didn't you say you were a Traveler from another world?" Raiden Mei asked.

"I am indeed a Traveler from another world, but I can't resist the temptation of social insurance and housing funds," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Of course, what's more important is that I really want Schicksal's equipment," Chen Luo emphasized.

"Equipment... but you don't look like you're lacking equipment at all. Aren't your magic spells more useful than equipment?" Raiden Mei still thought Chen Luo was very powerful.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The most important thing now is to leave Changkong City, and to leave Changkong City, we need to rest first. After all, I'm tired from fighting so many militants. And to rest, we need to clear out all the militants in the library first." Chen Luo waved his hand, no longer dwelling on the issue.

"You two rest here and replenish your Spiritual Energy and eat something. I'll clear out the entire library." Chen Luo produced two giant rice balls from somewhere and placed them on the library table.

Then, he slung the bow on his back and headed for the second floor of the library.

Raw stones, here I come!

After Chen Luo left on his own, he provided the two girls with time alone.

"Um... are you hungry?" Raiden Mei pointed at the giant rice balls.

"Not hungry!"

She had just pointed a gun at him, and although he didn't seem to mind, Kiana felt a bit embarrassed to eat something he gave her now.

Moreover, Kiana was still very curious about where he had conjured these things from.

"Grumble..." But clearly, Kiana's stomach didn't agree.

She hadn't eaten lunch, then the great Honkai outbreak occurred, and fighting militants had consumed so much of her stamina...

"..."

"Have a rice ball. Although I haven't eaten food made by Alo before, I always feel like he's omnipotent, so his cooking must be delicious too." Raiden Mei found a relatively intact stool and moved it over.

"Then... should we ignore that person with the bow and arrow? Is it really okay for him to go fight militants alone?" She felt that she shouldn't accept favors without doing anything in return, so Kiana intended to do something for him.

"There's no need for that. Your gunshot might attract more militants, and Alo seems to have a special obsession with killing militants, so don't worry about him." Raiden Mei shook her head and placed the Unsheathed Sword Chen Luo had lent her aside.

Seeing Raiden Mei's unguarded demeanor, Kiana slowly lowered her pistol as well.

Clearing the entire library wasn't difficult, especially with the Herrscher of Knowledge's help.

The Herrscher of Knowledge could clearly sense where the Honkai Beasts and militants were, so Chen Luo didn't have to worry about ambushes at all.

While clearing out militants, Chen Luo also spoke with the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"How is it? Have you tested whether the Honkai consciousness can detect you?" Chen Luo asked in his mind.

"After a long period of assessment, it can be basically concluded that the Honkai consciousness cannot detect me."

"Furthermore, the evolving Herrscher of Knowledge Core absorbs Honkai energy more stealthily. Therefore, it can be concluded that there are no problems." These words were not spoken by the Herrscher of Time in Chen Luo's mind, but were spoken aloud by the Herrscher of Knowledge who had suddenly appeared in reality.

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had suddenly revealed her true form, had several sharp swords floating around her. The flying swords quickly shot into the distance, piercing two militants through and through.

As those militants died, the scattered Honkai energy was absorbed and stored by the flying swords, then fed back to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"As expected, Honkai energy is still useful," the Herrscher of Knowledge nodded with satisfaction.

"My raw stones!" Chen Luo let out a mournful cry.

That was 10 raw stones.

"..." The Herrscher of Knowledge rolled her eyes at the disappointing Chen Luo.

"Stingy, there are plenty of militants in this Changkong City."

"So, Xiao Shi, are you stronger or weaker now compared to before you left this world?" Chen Luo cared a lot about this. If Xiao Shi had become weaker, he would not agree to the action plan proposed by her.

"Nonsense, of course I'm stronger." The Herrscher of Knowledge clenched her fist, feeling the tangible power, and a smile of excitement appeared on her face.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge was severely injured when she traveled to Chen Luo's world, Spiritual Energy was more effective for healing than Honkai energy.

Moreover, the Inner Demon Lure not only provided an opportunity for the Herrscher of Knowledge Core to evolve, but more importantly, it increased the diversity of healing methods.

"Are you sure?" Chen Luo was still a little uneasy.

"When have I ever lied to you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo helplessly.

The Herrscher of Knowledge knew that Chen Luo was concerned about her, and she actually quite liked the feeling of being cared for. However, Chen Luo's nagging, like an overprotective mother, was really starting to get on her nerves.

This made the Herrscher of Knowledge feel like a child.

Chen Luo looked at the "Confident" and "Impatient" status in the Herrscher of Knowledge's mood window and was certain the Herrscher of Knowledge wasn't lying to him.

"Are you really going to Schicksal headquarters?" Chen Luo asked again.

"Of course. Didn't you notice? Theresa's mission is for you to bring Kiana Kaslana to St. Freya Academy, but K423 is Kiana, and Durandal is also Kiana."

"..." Chen Luo fell silent.

"I really didn't expect you to come up with such a reason just to beat up Otto," Chen Luo said helplessly, looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The Herrscher of Knowledge wanted to help Chen Luo complete the mission... that was certainly possible, but it definitely wasn't the main objective.

If Theresa wanted Durandal to come to St. Freya Academy, would that be difficult? No, not at all. In fact, it would be quite easy.

Theresa and Otto weren't at each other's throats right now, and even if they were, Theresa was still Otto's favorite granddaughter.

To have Durandal visit St. Freya Academy, all Theresa would need to do is make a phone call. It was completely different from Kiana's situation.

Kiana was out and about, and impossible to find.

Durandal, on the other hand, had a job and a fixed residence. Plus, she was Theresa's colleague.

If you want to invite your colleague over for dinner, does it require so much trouble?

Chapter 69: Five-Star Achievement - [Honkai Terminator] (4k)

"Hehehe..." The Herrscher of Knowledge awkwardly scratched its head.

Just as Chen Luo said, helping Chen Luo complete the mission was secondary. The more important thing was definitely to beat up Otto.

Realistically speaking, if you came to the Honkai World and didn't beat up Otto, it wouldn't make sense, especially for the Herrscher of Knowledge, an old friend of Otto's who had been tricked by him countless times.
