Breaking Down; Xiao Yan: I Have a Friend

Although Xiao Yan transmigrated a bit early, the novel Infinite Terror had already been completed before he transmigrated.

Xiao Yan had read this famous book back then, and he was even a fan of the novel.

In addition, this is combined with my experience of browsing the Under One Person World some time ago.

Therefore, Xiao Yan was quite familiar with the technical terms such as Infinite Terror and the Primal Emperor Dao Erosion.

However, it is precisely because he understands the meaning of this word that he is so puzzled now.

He felt that he didn't seem to have said anything wrong.

Why did Gu Ruoli and the others directly compare him to Zheng Zha, that gorilla?

This is blatant slander, defamation, and bullying! I protest! I demand justice!

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling indignant.

What he said on March 7th left him completely stunned.

March 7th: Uh... Xiao Yan, when you said that, did you forget about the situation in Hestia's world?

March 7th: In their world, gods cannot use their divine power. Once they do, they will be forcibly sent back to the Heavenly Realm.

March 7th: So even if Hestia's strength is as you say, with the combat power of Fifth Order expert, she still can't use this power!

March 7th: Unless she doesn't want to stay in Orario anymore!

Don't Bully Young and Poor (stunned):...

I'm starting to think that there might actually be something wrong with my brain...

Looking at Primal Emperor Dao Erosion March 7th's reply, Xiao Yan remained silent for a moment before this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan looked down at the ring in his hand.

"Teacher, teacher..."

As Xiao Yan continued to call out, a furious voice, clearly tinged with impatience, suddenly emanated from the ring in his hand.

"You brat, what are you doing up so late at night? Can't we talk about this tomorrow?"

"Um... Teacher, I just wanted to ask if there are any pills that can improve intelligence. A friend of mine said he really needs one..."

A friend?

I think that friend of yours is you, isn't he?

(You don't need to hide, there's no one else here. jpg.)

Having been poisoned by online knowledge, Yao Lao immediately guessed the reason when he heard Xiao Yan say those words, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Then he transformed into a wisp of smoke, slowly drifting out from the ring. Looking at Xiao Yan, who was feigning composure, he smiled mockingly and said:

"I do have some, but what use do you have for these pills?"

Xiao Yan coughed lightly and said, "Ahem... It's what my friend wanted! He seems to have some brain problems lately and needs to get some brain-boosting treatments."

Very well, I was just guessing at first, but seeing how eager you are to distance yourself, it seems that my guess is probably true.

The Yao Lao understood, but to save face for his little apprentice, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he forced a smile and nodded, "Alright, if you say he's your friend, then he's your friend!"

Having said that, without waiting for Xiao Yan's reaction, he continued with a smile:

"Regarding pills that enhance intelligence, there are the sixth-grade Heavenly Wisdom Pill, the seventh-grade Creation Origin Spirit Pill, and the eighth-grade Primordial Ascension Spirit Pill..."

Leaving aside Xiao Yan, who was knocked out and weakened by a single blow from March 7th, how he plans his future drug use process.

The topic then shifted back to the Dimensional Chat Group.

Dragon King Spews Water: Hah... My defenses are breached!

Dust Leaf: Alright, stop fooling around, let's get down to business!

Dust Leaf: I will definitely go and help, but before that, let's first find out the specific situation!

Dust Leaf: After all, this mission is different from previous ones.

Bu Yao Bi Lian: That's right. In the past, the rescue missions were all for people in the group. Those who had seen the plot knew what the target looked like, so it was very convenient to find them.

Bu Yao Bi Lian: But the person we're looking for this time is Transmigrator, a character who doesn't exist in the story. There's not even any information about their appearance. Finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's really not easy!

Dragon King Spews Water: Hiss... Now that you mention it, it does seem true!

The Dragon King Spews Water: What should we do then? Are we really going to have to search slowly? If we do that, even if we find it, who knows how much time will have passed.

Dragon King Spews Water: Although there is no time limit for this mission, we can't keep wasting time looking for people, right?

Fallen Angel: What's the rush? I've told you so many times, pay attention to the question!

March 7th: Reading the question?

Fallen Angel:...

Fallen Angel: This Transmigrator is the host of the Slaughter System. Since that's the case, if he wants to increase his strength, he must inevitably start a killing spree.

Fallen Angel: In the DanMachi World, the only way to reasonably instigate large-scale killings is to become an adventurer and enter the Dungeon.

Fallen Angel: To enter the Dungeon, you must first join a clan; otherwise, you simply cannot enter.

Fallen Angel: In other words, if the host of that Slaughter System really came to the DanMachi World, then he should already be or be preparing to join a certain familia.

Fallen Angel: So, all Hestia needs to do is keep an eye out for similar rumors among the other Familias, right?

Fallen Angel: The principle that "if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet" applies everywhere. So, no matter how well someone hides themselves, they will eventually be exposed. When that happens, just deal with it directly.

Dragon King Spews Water: Wow, there's such a way? I never thought of that! Little Gabriel, you're so clever!

Dust Leaf: Hestia, have you discovered any other Familias recently? Is there anything strange about them?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: A strange place? Seems like there's nothing strange about it...

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Wait a minute, someone just approached me and wanted to join my familia, does that count? To be honest, I think that's pretty strange!

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Red-Haired Youth

March 7th: Uh... who is this? I don't think she's appeared in the story before!

Blue Ribbon Goddess: I don't know him. I was walking back when this guy suddenly popped out of the crowd and said he wanted to join my familia...

Fallen Angel: Wait a minute? Someone actually wants to join your familia? What's wrong with their brain?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: What are you saying? What are you saying?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: What's wrong with my familia? My familia is brimming with talent! Why can't people be eager to join?!

Blue Ribbon Goddess: --!

Although Hestia knew that Gabriel didn't mean it that way, she still couldn't help but feel indignant after seeing her message!

Fallen Angel: Cough cough... Don't be in such a hurry, you know what I mean, I didn't mean that at all!

Fallen Angel: I was just curious. Logically speaking, you only brought your Familia back yesterday, and you wanted to spread the news throughout Orario within a day...

Fallen Angel: This is difficult to achieve even in modern society where the internet is ubiquitous, let alone in Orario where information transmission is relatively slow.

Fallen Angel: So, in the eyes of most people in Orario, your Familia is still the same kind of Familia that has nothing but one thing.

Fallen Angel: In this situation, surely no one would choose to recklessly join your clan out of so-called "admiration"?

Fallen Angel: After all, "Love is precious, but life is more precious." Are there really such fools in this world who would disregard their own safety just to admire someone?

Dragon King Spews Water: Hiss... If what you're saying is true, that guy does seem a bit off!

Bu Yao Bi Lian: Wait... I suddenly remembered something...

Bu Yao Bi Lian: This red-haired guy, who appeared out of nowhere, wants to join your clan the moment he sees you. This means he at least knows you and understands you quite well...

Bu Yao Bi Lian: But how did he find out about you? You know, Hestia, you haven't been in the mortal realm for very long, and most of the time you've been staying with the Hephaestus Familia...

Blue Ribbon Goddess (awkwardly):... I didn't know?

Fallen Angel: Oh my god, could it be...?

Dragon King Spews Water: Good heavens, it seems there's some progress on the Group Mission!

Tianzhu King:... Beetroot!

Dust Leaf: Six, what kind of genius is this? He keeps running into "law enforcement officers" even when he's facing obstacles?

After Zhang Chulan's analysis, many of the smart people in the group immediately realized what was going on.

However, this only represents the vast majority and not everyone.

For example...

March 7th: What do you mean? Why is everyone suddenly saying such strange things?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Oh right? What happened?

Bu Yao Bi Lian:...

Seeing these two brilliant minds suddenly emerge from a group of smart people, Zhang Chulan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

He hadn't expected that even after explaining things so clearly, there would still be people who didn't understand...

Well...

Zhang Chulan sighed inwardly and finally decided to use the simplest way of narrating the answer.

Bu Yao Bi Lian: He knows you, but you don't know him. He wants to join your clan the moment he appears, and he hasn't even appeared in the main story yet...

Bu Yao Bi Lian: Combining this with the Group Mission that suddenly appeared just now, what can you connect it to?

March 7th: You mean... that redhead is Transmigrator?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: No way! If it really is him, why would he dare to appear in front of me? Isn't that just walking into a trap?

Bu Yao Bi Lian: He doesn't know you've already joined the Dimensional Chat Group!

Bu Yao Bi Lian: Maybe he thinks you're Hestia from the original story, which is why he's eager to join your familia!

Bu Yao Bi Lian: After all, judging from the original work, your feelings for the first familia are... well, you know what I mean...

March 7th: Ah... that makes sense!

March 7th: Could that guy really be our mission target?

Bu Yao Bi Lian: I'm not entirely sure, but there's probably an 80% chance.

March 7th:... Why do Hestia you go ask him if his name is Abe no Seimei?

Blue Ribbon Goddess:... I'll go ask.

Seeing the group members' speculations, Hestia's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of doubt:

Could this child who appeared out of nowhere really be their target?

As Hestia pondered this, she left the Dimensional Chat Group and turned to look at the Red-Haired Youth in front of her, who was waiting expectantly for her reply.

"Lord Hestia, what has your decision been?"

Seeing Hestia snap out of her reverie, the Red-Haired Youth quickly and respectfully inquired.

Hestia looked at the Red-Haired Youth in front of her, but instead of answering immediately, she asked, "What is your name...?"

Upon hearing this, Abe no Seimei slapped his forehead, realizing what he had forgotten, and quickly introduced himself to Hestia:

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. Lady Hestia, my name is Abe no Seimei. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

After saying that, Abe no Seimei bowed deeply to Hestia at a standard 90-degree Japanese angle.

Abe no Seimei didn't find anything wrong with Hestia asking his name; on the contrary, he was a little excited.

Since Hestia asked for his name, does that mean Hestia intends to take him into her familia? Otherwise, why would she ask for his name?

Abe no Seimei, a carrier of the Slaughter System?

Hestia was completely stunned after hearing Abe no Seimei's self-introduction:

Good heavens, Zhang Chulan's guess was actually right!

Could this seemingly shy, red-haired youth in front of them really be their target for this mission?

Thinking of this, Hestia couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable excitement:

I thought they'd have to search for ages to find it, but I never expected it to be so easy...

Is it really possible for such a pie to be delivered to your door in this world?

Although Hestia knew Abe no Seimei's identity, she didn't reveal it. After all, she couldn't use her divine power in Orario. Right now, she was just an ordinary person, and it was unrealistic for her to rely on herself to deal with the target in front of her.

'Let's keep him calm for now, then find a group to gang up on him in the group chat...'

Hestia pondered a solution in her mind, but her expression remained unchanged.

As if he knew nothing, he smiled and said in his usual silly manner:

"Alright, Abe no Seimei, right? Come with me, we'll go back to the Familia Residence first. Hmm... the place might be a bit rough, I hope you don't mind!"

Of course not!

After saying that, Hestia turned and walked towards the abandoned church, the residence of the Hestia Familia.

At the same time, he walked with a bouncy gait, as if he had encountered something happy.
