Chapter 305
"No. I'll eat at the Great Herta's restaurant; I don't need Interastral Peace Corporation Credits."
"The Miraculous Forger is indeed extraordinary; he can even talk about being a kept man so... sincerely. If you insist, fine." Topaz wasn't stupid. Topaz glanced at the Silver Wolf next to Chen Li and guessed that what Chen Li had lost would be retrieved from the Silver Wolf.
Through the screen, Topaz saw that the infamous Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf's originally unremarkable physique had been transformed into a shapely figure by a red rope. The red rope passed through several rather private parts, making Topaz suspect that the two of them were engaging in some kind of special play.
Am I also part of your two-person play?
"For you, I lost 5.1 billion Credits. I could have gained unimaginable wealth simply by handing you over... Tell me, are you going to try transferring 5.1 billion Credits to me in two seconds? If you can't do it, you lose to me, or you give up and admit defeat." After hanging up the phone, Chen Li looked at Silver Wolf.
"Putting the matter of admitting defeat aside for now, you should explain why you tied me up like this." Silver Wolf only realized how he was tied up after his blindfold was removed.
Silver Wolf initially only felt that the knots were a bit annoying, but now he realized that the severity was far beyond his imagination.
Isn't this turtle shell bondage? And it's even using red rope... Silver Wolf occasionally plays some R18 games, so he knows a bit about it.
"Don't ask me, this was tied by my good friend Sparkle."
"And you, Sparkle, didn't you say you'd help me hold him off for half an hour, or even give me a half-hour ride?" Silver Wolf got angry whenever Chen Li mentioned Sparkle.
Didn't you say you were a great fighter?
Can you manipulate Chen Li at will?
Did they even find a shortcut to victory?
But you didn't even last two minutes!
"It's not that we didn't try, but the other side has supernatural abilities. You have no idea what I've sacrificed to hold him back?" Tears welled up in Sparkle's eyes as she tightly gripped the front of her clothes.
"Could it be that you... Chen Li, if you have any anger, take it out on me, don't let it affect others!"
"That's what you said."
"Yes, I said that."
"You have to admit defeat regarding the 5.1 billion Credits."
"Fine, I admit defeat!" Silver Wolf was willing to accept his loss.
Because Interastral Peace Corporation made the payment too quickly!
Faster than eight seconds!
Even if Silver Wolf were to actually try, he simply couldn't do it.
"Then I won't hold back... I'll try all sorts of things on you, things I've thought about but never dared to do before! Hang in there, Little Silver Wolf."
"Beep beep!" The communication terminal that Silver Wolf had placed next to him suddenly rang automatically.
"Wait, what time is it now?" Silver Wolf was taken aback.
Silver Wolf remembered that the clock he set for himself was...
"System time 11:46 PM, what's wrong? Okay, I'm about to yell at you."
"Wait, this won't do! The script is about to start, Kafka is coming, and she needs my help!"
"What are you saying in gibberish? I can't understand you."
"Please, at least not now..."
"Emmm..." Sparkle, who had been watching from the side, felt that the conversation between the two was gradually becoming strange.
What kind of scenario is this: a wife who senses her husband's impending return home after making a mistake wants her boss, who might give him a chance, to let her off the hook first?
"System time 23:47:15, you're right on time Kafka. Hmm..."
"The future that Acheron sees is never wrong. What was that explosion just now? Was that also in his script?" Kafka, who had successfully entered the Herta Space Station via elevator, looked at the communication panel in front of her.
Kafka wore a black suit with a shawl draped over her shoulders, the collar slightly open to reveal her fair neck. Her long, smooth hair was gathered at the back of her head and tied into a swaying ponytail. A pair of small sunglasses were pushed up on her forehead.
Her legs were encased in burgundy pantyhose, and her right leg, covered by over-the-knee high boots, exuded a seductive charm, giving her a languid yet dangerous aura.
—Kafka, the Stellaron Hunter, with a bounty of 10.8 billion from the Interastral Peace Corporation.
On the other side of this panel is Kafka's most reliable teammate, the genius hacker— Silver Wolf!
This is also why Kafka was in a good mood.
When working with Silver Wolf, you never have to worry about him letting you down.
"Hmm... Yes, [System time 23:44:59, the pulse generated by the explosion caused a large-scale paralysis of the main control system]. Hmm."
"What are you doing? There are some strange noises." Kafka asked, puzzled.
"Yes, um, I'm eating a popsicle," Silver Wolf replied.
"... Is this also in Acheron's script?"
"No... It doesn't matter what Acheron didn't write in the script, right? Ouch, that's spicy!"
"... Are you really eating an ice pop?"
How can an ice pop be spicy?
"Of course! A... Miraculous Item popsicle, it has different flavors, it's sour at first, and now it's spicy."
"Real?"
"Why would I lie to you? Don't worry, I'll tell you if I run into trouble. We're comrades, you know. Hiss..."
"Okay, so did you cause that explosion?"
"It wasn't the Anti-Matter Legion; they had a full-scale invasion of the space station before both systems were operational," Silver Wolf said.
This time, there were indeed no strange noises, but Silver Wolf's voice became somewhat indistinct, as if something was stuffed in his mouth.
"Do we need to fight the Antimatter Legion?" Kafka asked.
Each Stellaron Hunter has their own unique storyline, so Kafka isn't omniscient either.
"I don't know. Since Acheron didn't say, it's not important."
"Okay, I understand. I'll take over the operation from now on."
"Receive."
"... Silver Wolf, according to your usual style, what should you say now to make me have some fun? Silver Wolf, are you really okay?"
"Of course it's okay! Don't worry! Oh! No!"
"Silver Wolf, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a Sichuan peppercorn-flavored popsicle! You can continue."
"Okay." The elevator arrived at its destination.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Kafka, wielding her dual pistols, fired at the Anti-Matter Legion guarding the elevator entrance.
Anything Acheron didn't write in the script is irrelevant... probably.
"Wow, no wonder he's a genius hacker! He remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him!" Chen Li turned off the volume on his communicator and then began to applaud.
"Phew..." Silver Wolf breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Li turn off the sound, then glared at Chen Li angrily.
"Li You Shi Bu, Liu Ma Wu Zui Yi Di Du Xi La Shu Xu! (If you're so capable, take the stuff out of my mouth!)" Silver Wolf was still tied up, but unlike his original appearance, there was now an ice pop in Silver Wolf mouth.
"You haven't finished eating yet, have you? So how does the hot and sour rice noodle flavored popsicle taste? The translation software on Friends Circle Terminal is really useful; it can correct your garbled words into correct language before sending them out. Also, whatever you do, don't let this popsicle fall out or drool, otherwise... you don't want to know what will happen."
"Slurp." The popsicle melts even if not eaten, and Silver Wolf has to constantly swallow the icy water, otherwise, if saliva drips from the corner of his mouth onto the game screen below...
My 10-pull will be spent on that damn permanent banner!
That's terrible, Chen Li!
Of course, Chen Li's wickedness wasn't limited to this. Initially, Silver Wolf was blindfolded, but later Chen Li suddenly ripped off Silver Wolf's blindfold, which is when Silver Wolf saw what was happening and screamed!
"Darling, you're so mean! You could have let me disguise myself as Silver Wolf," Sparkle said from the side.
Sparkle could easily disguise her voice.
"Lizhengze, chahu chahu wei wujiao couze! (You wait, I'll get my revenge on Kafka!)"
"Oh, so that's what you wanted to say... Well, you probably won't be able to wait, because Kafka probably hasn't noticed anything amiss." After using the translation software, Chen Li shook his head regretfully.
"???" Silver Wolf tilted his head.
Silver Wolf scoffed.
With such strange noises coming from it, how could Kafka not have noticed something was wrong?
She didn't become a mindless villain in the game.
Or... what kind of strange Miraculous Item has this effect?
But this is for the best; Silver Wolf doesn't want Kafka to worry about him.
"Rest, rest..." Silver Wolf continued, speaking vaguely.
Chen Li reached out and pulled the popsicle out of the Silver Wolf's mouth... Using translation software is quite tiring too.
"Ugh..." To prevent the ice water in his mouth from dripping onto the screen below him, Silver Wolf kept his mouth tightly shut, leaving all the ice water from the popsicle inside, and then let Chen Li pull the popsicle out.
"Pop".
The strange sound made Silver Wolf blush instantly.
"Silver Wolf, why are you blushing? Are you thinking of something inappropriate for children?"
"Shush, Sparkle! I'm only suffering all this because of you!" Silver Wolf, unwilling to admit that he was thinking of certain scenes from adult films, could only disguise himself with anger.
"Don't mention it. You're only obligated to help someone if you're paid. I haven't taken your money yet, have I?"
"Good sisters should share happiness and hardship together!"
"Okay, you said it!" Sparkle, who had been sitting to the side and constantly swinging her feet, jumped off the chair.
However, due to the persistent sensation from the itching powder on her sandals, Sparkle's legs became sore and weak, causing her to sway and fall towards Chen Li.
"Darling, help me up. I want to make Silver Wolf taste my pain too!"
"Wait, Sparkle! What are you doing? We're best friends! I've made a fool of myself in front of Kafka because of you!" Seeing Sparkle's strange walking posture, and realizing something ominous, Silver Wolf's face instantly turned red! He tried with all his might to fly away!
However, Sparkle grabbed her leg and easily took off Silver Wolf's boots.
"Here, lunchbox..." Sparkle handed Silver Wolf's boots to Chen Li.
Then, unsurprisingly, he got hit on the head.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Honestly, you can't take a joke at all. Give me the itching powder, I'll add something to Silver Wolf's diet... Hehehe."
The pleasure of the Masked Fool is built on the suffering of others!
Let the World Feel Pain!
How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up?
"Just itching powder?" Silver Wolf breathed a sigh of relief.
If it's just itching powder, Silver Wolf can handle it.
"It is indeed just itching powder, but Silver Wolf, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be traveling with Kafka."
"Yeah, you even promised me you'd let me go when I had to act. What's going on... wait, you two don't mean you want me to wear shoes with itching powder on them to see Kafka, do you? No way! Kafka will definitely get suspicious!" Silver Wolf struggled frantically.
"Alright, darling, go help Silver Wolf put on his shoes." After pouring out the itching powder Sparkle shoved Silver Wolf's shoes into Chen Li's hands.
Why don't you go?
"Do I really have to spell it out? Honey, isn't it because you used too much force that my legs are so weak I can't stand up? My whole body feels like it's falling apart..."
"Stop playing with me, you two! I can recommend a more interesting toy to you!" Silver Wolf looked terrified when he saw his shoes, which had been sprinkled with itching powder and then handed to Chen Li.
"Don't want."
"Really, Xing is a lot of fun, a very interesting person." Silver Wolf looked at Chen Li, who was walking towards him with his shoes in hand, his face full of resistance.
Silver Wolf didn't just reveal the matter of Star to free himself from suffering. At the same time, Silver Wolf was also thinking... Although it wasn't written in Acheron's script, if he could get involved with Chen Li, the Miraculous Forger, then Chen Li would definitely become an extremely important helper for Star when facing the Aeon of Destruction in the future!
Everything I do is for the Stellaron Hunter!
It was definitely not to avoid being harmed by Chen Li!
Absolutely not!
"What are you babbling about? Just like I promised you, I'll let you go see Kafka. Oh, the time's up. Come on, relax, it'll be over soon..." Chen Li grabbed Silver Wolf's left leg, which was covered in fishnet stockings and was swinging back and forth.
