I wonder if an unawakened Herrscher counts as a Herrscher?
If I beat up Raiden Mei right now, would that count as completing an achievement?
However, looking at Raiden Mei, whose eyes held such gentleness, Chen Luo felt he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Raiden Mei was a gentle girl, kind to everyone.
The world had repaid Raiden Mei with pain, but Raiden Mei had repaid those around her with song.
Note, not the world, but those around her.
In the original story, Raiden Mei cared less about this world and more about Kiana, who had saved her when she fell into despair.
It's just that the plot seems to have deviated a little now...
Chapter 70: Kiana's Affection Mission - [Where Did Dad Go] (4K)
"Most independent buildings in Chiba Academy have backup power. Even if they lose their external energy supply due to various circumstances, the normal operation of the buildings can still be guaranteed," Raiden Mei explained.
"Most people at Chiba Academy are either wealthy or influential, so at noon, people often hold tea parties in various places. The library is one such place, which is why these things are here. Because the anti-theft measures are very good, those militants didn't seem to have successfully damaged this place. Before... no, for certain reasons, I also have a key to this place."
As the eldest daughter of ME Company, the entire Chiba Academy was funded and built by the company her father owned.
So before Raiden Mei's father was imprisoned for economic crimes, Raiden Mei, as the "Thunder Queen," naturally possessed such a key.
Later, even though Raiden Mei was ostracized for various reasons, the key was not taken back, and those young ladies, out of a sliver of pride, did not change the locks on these secret storage rooms.
"Hmm, as expected of a noble school," Chen Luo couldn't help but praise Chiba Academy.
Although some buildings in Chen Luo's school seemed to have similar functions, Chen Luo's school hadn't experienced an apocalyptic crisis, so he wasn't too sure.
By the way, the tea Raiden Mei brewed was quite good.
Her skill was about the same as Chen Luo's mastery of tea ceremony.
Raiden Mei and the others had already blocked the library doors, so they were able to enjoy half an hour of leisure time.
During this half hour, Chen Luo noticed that the relationship between Raiden Mei and Kiana was gradually growing closer.
However, what made Chen Luo feel a bit distressed was that even though Raiden Mei's discount had reached 7.5, the mission for Raiden Mei was still not completed.
As expected of a three-star mission, it was difficult.
"Alright, next, we need to figure out how to leave Chiba Academy and head outside." After finishing lunch, Chen Luo directly flipped the table and placed a map on it.
"Where did you get such a detailed map?" Kiana looked at Chen Luo with surprise.
"Aren't you a traveler from another world? You're not impersonating, are you?" Kiana looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.
During this time, the three of them had gotten a general understanding of each other.
"Then what do you think this is, if not magic?" A ball of water slowly formed in Chen Luo's hand and was then distributed to the three of them.
You need to wash your hands after eating, lest your hands slip when holding a gun later.
"Okay, this thing looks like magic no matter how you look at it." Even Kiana had to admit that Chen Luo really seemed like a traveler from another world.
It's just that this traveler from another world knew a little too much about this world.
"If possible, can we go to the TV station first?" Kiana pointed to the Changkong City TV station, which was quite far from Chiba Academy.
"Of course. If not, then I'll just go alone, but then we'd have to split up, and I wouldn't want to drag you down," Kiana added.
"If it's possible, could you tell us why you want to go? Going to the TV station doesn't seem like the fastest way out," Raiden Mei asked.
This was a rather tactful way of putting it, because it was practically taking a huge detour.
It could even be said that in a post-apocalyptic survival situation, Kiana's behavior of deliberately taking a detour was no different from seeking death.
"I came to Chiba Academy to find my dad. This darn dad suddenly disappeared for some reason. I followed his trail to Changkong City and enrolled in Chiba Academy. Now that a major Honkai outbreak has occurred in Changkong City, wouldn't it be easier to find him if I borrowed the broadcast from the Changkong City TV station? Of course, this is just my slightly selfish little request, and you can completely ignore it," Kiana said apologetically to Chen Luo and Raiden Mei.
[Ding! You have a new commission!]
[Where Did Dad Go]: Help Kiana go to the Changkong City TV station to use the city broadcast to find Siegfried.
Reward: 200 raw stones + Kiana's Affection + 20
Difficulty: Two Stars
This Kiana truly has nothing on her; she can't give anything, only her affection.
"Of course, I'll help you." Seeing Kiana looking at her with hopeful eyes, Raiden Mei felt a touch of emotion.
She seemed to see another version of herself, as her father was in a similar situation.
"Um... A Luo, what do you think?" But after Raiden Mei readily agreed, she remembered there was still someone beside them.
"Of course, I have no objections. I descended before you at your wish, Mei. Since you have any needs, I will naturally do my best to accompany you. Kiana, pure maiden, when your wish becomes strong enough, I will naturally appear to do my utmost for your wish."
"...You're being so cryptic, but... thank you." Kiana scratched her head awkwardly after hearing Chen Luo's words.
"Then, A Luo, will you fulfill any wish?" Raiden Mei couldn't help but ask from the side.
"Of course not. I'm not some omnipotent wish-granting machine. I won't accept requests from villains, after all, I have my principles," Chen Luo said.
"But speaking of which, Kiana, isn't your full name Kiana Kaslana?" Chen Luo turned his head to look at Kiana.
"Huh? How did you know?" Kiana was surprised.
After all, from the moment just now until now, Kiana only stated her name, not her surname.
"Well, how should I put it? There's a commission, a commission from an aunt missing her grand-niece... In short, Kiana, your aunt is calling you home for dinner."
Chen Luo felt it was necessary to gradually reveal his commission now, to avoid being exposed when they met again, which would make things even more difficult to handle.
"Ah, which aunt do I have?"
"You ask me? How would I know? I just know there's a wish with content like this. Kiana Kaslana, father Siegfried Kaslana, with ancestral gun-fu techniques, that's you, right?"
"It's me, but I really haven't heard of an aunt. Kiana expressed her confusion.
"Alright, don't overthink it. When I came to this world, I accepted this wish and even met your aunt, but I had no idea where you were. Later, I received Mei's wish and descended upon Changkong City, and by chance, I ran into you. I can only say that this is all fate's arrangement."
"The three of us are destined to meet."
Chen Luo spent half a day successfully sorting out this logic.
Chen Luo didn't actually want to lie, but the key was that he needed to take care of Raiden Mei's fragile heart right now.
"So, Kiana, you have other family members in this world? That's wonderful." Raiden Mei didn't find anything wrong with it and was happy for Kiana instead.
After all, she had accepted the preposterous idea of a traveler from another world, so what else couldn't she accept?
"Auntie..."
"Alright, before we depart, this is the last and most important task." Chen Luo's expression became increasingly serious.
"What task?" Seeing the serious Chen Luo, Raiden Mei couldn't help but sit up straight.
"To name our team." Chen Luo said solemnly.
"..."
"How about the Traveler Raiden Queen White Hair Bun Squad?" Chen Luo suggested.
"What kind of weird name is that?" Kiana, upon hearing this ridiculously named suggestion, even forgot to complain about Chen Luo's original strange thought process.
"Me, Traveler. Mei, Raiden Queen. You, White Hair Bun." Chen Luo explained the team name to Raiden Mei and Kiana.
"But this name is too long, and why are you in the front? Also, I'm not a White Hair Bun!" Kiana protested.
"Kiana, have you heard the saying? Whoever provides the milk is the mother, and I can provide the food, so I'm the captain."
Chen Luo waved his hand, and countless freshly prepared, fragrant dishes appeared on the table, only to be instantly put away by Chen Luo.
"How about it? Any objections now?" Chen Luo asked.
"No objections." Kiana said, wiping away the drool that had just appeared.
"What about you, Mei?"
"I don't have any objections either, it's just that this team name is too long?" Raiden Mei shook her head.
"Then we'll just call it the Traveler Squad normally." Chen Luo finally decided.
Although Kiana protested this, she was bought off by a bottle of juice, and Mei seemed indifferent to these matters.
[Ding! Team successfully established, please name the team]
The talent panel popped up.
Chen Luo had discovered this team function while having lunch just now, perhaps it appeared after the event started.
The effect was that when a team was formed, if the team members killed Honkai Beasts or Militants, Chen Luo would receive half of the proceeds.
This greatly increased Chen Luo's speed and efficiency in clearing stages.
After all, even with his fast hand speed, Chen Luo couldn't kill all the Militants they encountered on the way when escaping Chiba Academy.
Overall, this team-up mission came at a very timely moment.
"Herrscher Squad." Chen Luo confirmed the name.
In this group, three out of the four members were Herrschers, so if not the Herrscher Squad, what else should it be called?
That's right, the Herrscher of Knowledge was also a team member.
"By the way, Kiana, what kind of gun do you prefer? Handgun, shotgun, submachine gun, or what?" Chen Luo asked as they were about to leave the library.
"???"
"Bang!" The deafening gunshot echoed through Chiba Academy. A Militant that had broken through the encirclement was blasted into two pieces by a shotgun.
Seeing that some Militants could already break through Chen Luo's blockade, Raiden Mei, holding a handgun in her left hand and a sword in her right, also became serious.
"I'm not saying this, A'Luo, but since you have these guns, why are you using a bow and arrow? These guns have been specially modified, right? They're so powerful?" Kiana, holding a shotgun and with a handgun on her hip, complained.
Kiana had initially thought Chen Luo didn't have firearms, which was why he used a bow and arrow, but she didn't expect him to have such a large reserve of firearms.
"Hahaha, for me, firearms aren't as good as bows and arrows, especially in this kind of long-range precision shooting." Chen Luo said.
The Divine Arrow Technique passed down from Venti, combined with Wind elemental power and the Elf Bow, had a power close to a 4-star weapon. This weapon was much more powerful than firearms.
Moreover, Chen Luo could currently fire up to three arrows at once. This was triple the efficiency.
Also, there were some Militants or Honkai Beasts whose defenses couldn't be broken by firearms.
However, the firearms held by Kiana and the others were not among those. The firearms Kiana and the others held were enchanted, not by Chen Luo, but by Liu Wenxuan.
Liu Wenxuan also worked part-time as a blacksmith, and in the Dark World and the Abyss passage, firearms and other military weapons had too little lethality against enemies, so enchanting them was naturally necessary.
"Also, why didn't you give Mei a gun?"
"Didn't I give Mei a handgun?"
"What good is a handgun? It's not powerful enough. And that sword also hinders shooting," Kiana said.
"What do you know? That sword is more expensive than the gun in your hand. It's my most important sword, and it's for Mei to defend herself. Besides, Mei doesn't really know how to use a gun. It's fine if you two handle the long range and she handles the close combat."
"Is this sword very important?" Raiden Mei tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
"Of course it's important. Damn it, it's a Honkai Beast! A Tank-class Honkai Beast!" Chen Luo had just answered Raiden Mei when he spotted a super-large Honkai Beast charging from a distance, nearly two stories tall.
"Honkai Beast? Run!" Seeing the enormous Honkai Beast, Kiana instinctively said.
Tank-class Honkai Beasts were not something ordinary people could defeat.
"What are you afraid of? This time, I'll show you the true power of the Elf Bow," Chen Luo sneered, standing his ground.
Chen Luo had only used normal attacks before; this time, he would unleash a charged attack for them to see.
The bowstring was drawn to its fullest but held back. Just as Kiana and the others wondered why Chen Luo wasn't shooting, countless gusts of wind began to gather. The green wind element, as if it had form, converged onto Chen Luo's arrow.
Raiden Mei could clearly feel the Vision Chen Luo had given her, which she wore, trembling slightly. The gathering winds made both Mei and Kiana struggle to stand steady.
"This is the true... Divine Arrow Technique."
Chen Luo released the bowstring.
What shot out from Chen Luo's Elf Bow was no longer an arrow but a gust of wind that seemed to possess a physical form. The wind element gathered on the arrow rapidly sliced through everything around it.
After stabilizing herself, Kiana looked up and could only stare in shock.
