League of Legends in Multiverse Chapter 28

To Sasha, who was fiercely devouring bread, Christa seemed to radiate Holy Light all over, her brilliance flowing as if she were a Goddess who had fallen to the mortal realm.

"Are you a Goddess?" Sasha asked emotionally.

"Eh-----"

Christa awkwardly waved her hand. She hadn't deliberately done this to be thanked by Sasha, but the Potato Girl's undisguised gratitude did give Christa a sense of being recognized and a touch of joy.

"That's right, truly a Goddess who couldn't possibly exist in this world!" Lian Ye clapped his hands and laughed, but his deliberate questioning sounded like mockery, as if to say that a true 'Goddess' couldn't exist in this world.

Unwarranted kindness was almost as unsettling as unwarranted malice. Please forgive Lian Ye, for he was a suspicious and scheming boy; he didn't believe Christa was born a reincarnated Goddess.

Therefore, Lian Ye's true meaning hidden beneath his words was: ---- Christa's "Saint Mother Syndrome" is a disease, and it needs to be treated.

Chapter 24: Prey and Hunter Together

"Um, it's just that she's been running since this afternoon without eating, so I brought her something to eat. It's nothing much..."

Christa explained in a flustered manner. Wasn't the situation obvious? Knowing the Potato Girl's situation was one thing, but being willing to help her was another.

Most people stood by and watched. Christa was not only a minority among minorities but could even be considered an extinct species.

"Do you genuinely want to help this Potato Girl for no reason? Without any other intentions?"

Lian Ye raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"Didn't she say thank you? ---- That's enough." Christa lowered her head and chuckled. The contented smile didn't seem fake.

In a sense, Christa's words were entirely correct. Offering a helping hand and being satisfied with just a 'thank you' was enough. Once good deeds become entangled with expecting repayment, they can no longer be called pure goodwill.

"I really lose to you, you know..."

Lian Ye shook his head helplessly and simultaneously tossed the bread in his hand to Sasha.

"Tha-thank you... thank you..." The other party, while wolfing down the bread in her hand, quickly caught the bait. Nice catch! Then the Potato Girl, with equal speed, shoved the next piece of bread into her mouth. After swallowing the food at the fastest possible speed, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

---- This single-celled foodie might actually be a lot of fun.

Lian Ye had originally intended to tease Sasha and see if he could extract any value from this simple-minded person, but Christa had beaten him to it. However, this Goddess didn't seem to have any intention of using Sasha.

"Aren't you here to help her too?"

"No, I just want her to owe me a favor. A favor from an easily understandable, single-celled foodie, the return on investment is terrifyingly high." Lian Ye flatly rejected Christa's statement. He was investing in a promising hunter with strong physical qualities. Therefore, this was vastly different from 'helping' without any ulterior motive.

"..." Christa seemed unable to comprehend some of the terms Lian Ye was using. Although individual words seemed clear, why did they feel so awkward when combined?

---- Tsundere is so hard to understand!

Another strange word popped into Christa's mind. Fortunately, because she didn't quite understand it, she didn't say it out loud. Otherwise, the enraged Lian Ye would probably have pinned her down and beaten her. Even considering that one shouldn't be so rude to a Goddess, a good beating was still unavoidable.

The evening's farce ended there. After Lian Ye helped carry the unconscious Sasha back to their room, he returned to his own dormitory. Starting tomorrow would be the formal training for the 'ODM Gear.' Combining the agile mobility of the 'Pride Stalker' with the wall-climbing effect of the 'ODM Gear' was Lian Ye's next goal.

With the 'Void Predator,' who was lurking in the Void and had not yet shown its tracks, as the ultimate hypothetical enemy, this ability was extremely important to Lian Ye.

After all, Kha'Zix had clearly evolved 'Insect Wings' a year ago, which was the membranous wing sheath Lian Ye had accidentally discovered during a hunt.
