Chapter 137

He had seen this situation countless times when playing in the continent before: players would go to the top-secret area, win a round or two, and then find that the profits were enormous.

And so he became obsessed with the top-secret food, unable to extricate himself.

But those who have taken it a lot know that you'll eventually have to throw up the food you eat in top secret.

This has nothing to do with technology. No matter how skilled you are, it's useless if some strange thing comes along to punish you.

They're attacking too fiercely? Then we'll arrange for them to attack even fiercer. If all else fails, we'll use cheats.

Han Fei wasn't worried about cheats; to be more precise, everyone in this top-secret unit was a human cheat code!

The simplest example is Theresa.

This woman single-handedly killed so many Shroud Reapers. What does that mean? It's roughly equivalent to one person clearing an entire map in a single-player, top-secret raid, and it's a battle of attrition, one person fighting an entire map.

A true human cheat code!

In this situation, Han Fei didn't need to worry about the cheat code; what he was worried about was that after eating the top-secret meal, Lemuen would no longer look down on the classified food.

I've seen far too many examples like this. They think classified information is too poor to be true, so they only release Top-Secret Space City, and then they go bankrupt one after another.

Thinking of this, Han Fei decided to give a reminder, saying, "This round was just lucky, plus it's top secret; confidential items don't have this many red balls."

The Bureau of State Security also has classified information, but the probability is much lower compared to top-secret information.

Han Fei never took low-probability events seriously.

Upon hearing this, Remy Lemuen said, "Then we'll just only use top-secret codes from now on, right?"

"You."

Han Fei shook his head. "Top secret is stressful, baby."

"If we were the ones who ran into the Shroud Reapers this time, do you really think we'd still be able to eat so cheerfully?"

A relentless assault will only lead to one outcome—bankruptcy.

This really has nothing to do with skill. The streamers Han Fei used to watch who switched from the A-rank to Delta Force, even if they were his old teammates, still ended up going bankrupt.

These guys are top-notch in skill, and even with regular teammates, they still couldn't avoid going bankrupt.

It wasn't until later, when everyone was running knife-making operations, that they started to make money.

Han Fei didn't think that constantly launching attacks was a healthy way to play the game.

Sometimes you have to use your knife to your advantage, sometimes you have to launch a fierce attack – that's what makes it a complete system!

"That's true."

Lemuen knowingly, then smiled brightly and said, "Anyway, I'll follow the boss's orders. Wherever you tell me to go, I'll go."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried that Lemuen would keep demanding a top-secret attack.

Seeing this, Lemuen understood what had happened and immediately put her arm around Han Fei's shoulder with a grin.

Lemuen was considerably shorter than Han Fei, so her posture was actually a bit odd.

However, she didn't seem to mind, and laughed, "Why are you worried about me? Am I not obedient enough? I've always been the one who tells me how to fight, and I just do it the way you tell me to."

"That's true."

Han Fei patted Xiao Le's head and said, "Let's go find them."

Hearing this, Theresa followed, saying as she walked, "So, you've actually been waiting for me and the Shroud Reapers to settle things, haven't you?"

"Well..."

Han Fei was speechless for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "That's really true."

Theresa gave Han Fei a reproachful look and said, "This really hurts my feelings, my boss."

"Hey, I'm here to clean up the mess," Han Fei could only manage an awkward laugh.

In front of Theresa, Han Fei couldn't directly say that his two Sankta didn't want to help, and to be honest, Han Fei himself didn't really want to get involved at the time.

After all, letting Theresa and the Shroud Reapers fight first is the most profitable approach.

Anyway, it's not like they can't be saved.

In retrospect, this approach did indeed maximize the benefits.

That's outrageous!

Theresa said softly, "You can't do that next time. I also want someone to help me, instead of leaving me to face everything alone."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Lemuen immediately declared, "From now on, we're friends! If a friend is in trouble, I'll definitely help!"

Seeing Lemuen's sincere expression, Theresa smiled again and said softly, "Okay, my friend."

"I look forward to the day when I can fight alongside you."

Volume One: Chapter 171 Epilogue

Before long, Han Fei led his men back to the lower level.

When Texas and Lemuen reunited, the two had already completed their loot-hunting mission and were sitting in chairs chatting.

As soon as she entered the house, Lemuen called out energetically, "Sis, we're back!"

As soon as he said this, Lemuen and Texas stopped, stood up, and went to the door to greet him.

Lemuen jumped into her sister's arms like a fledgling returning to its nest, excitedly saying, "Big sister, I'm bleeding again!"

"Really? My Xiao Le is amazing."

Lemuen looked down at her younger sister in her arms with approval.

Texas walked straight up to Han Fei and asked, "Was it going smoothly?"

"It went very smoothly."

Han Fei smiled, pulled out his smoothbore musket, and said, "Look, a brand new red one, isn't it beautiful?"

Texas looked at the smoothbore musket. She didn't really find it beautiful; after all, it was clearly a weapon, not a work of art.

But she still followed Han Fei's lead, nodding and saying, "Very beautiful."

"Right?"

Han Fei put away his smoothbore musket, looked around, and said, "Is everything packed up?"

Texas, like a competent secretary, reported meticulously, "It has been checked once, and nothing was missed. After searching these Shroud Reapers, my bureau's revenue has reached 2.6 million. They are very valuable."

"However, I didn't give out a key card, only a red item and some small gold items. I took them all, and this is probably the most valuable one."

Texas took a red USB drive out of her backpack and showed it to Han Fei.

"That's not bad."

Han Fei nodded slightly and asked, "Have you ever seen a weapon that can be picked up?"

"No."

Texas scanned the Shroud Reapers. "The search bar only shows headgear; no weapons."

She paused, then added, "Perhaps it's because they all use melee weapons."

"That's possible."

Han Fei nodded slightly, then said, "Now that we've searched everything, let's meet our new friend."

Han Fei turned around with a smile and introduced, "Our new friend, and future comrade-in-arms, Theresa."

Actually, she had already introduced herself once, but Theresa's self-introduction then was completely different in meaning from the one she gave then.

At this moment, Theresa is no longer the leader of the Babel who has just been relieved of the burden of being the Demon King, but a new operator of the GTI Special Operations Center.

Just like Lemuen and the others.

Texas calmly accepted it all, extending her hand and saying, "Hello, I'm Texas."

"Hello."

Theresa shook hands with Texas with a gentle expression. "From now on, we're comrades-in-arms. I'm unfamiliar with all of this, so please take good care of me."

Lemuen was still in her sister's arms, turning her head to look at the gentle-faced Theresa, and whispered, "She seems just like you, sis, both of you are very gentle people."

Yes, that's right.

Lemuen softly echoed, "Actually, it's a bit surprising. I thought all the Demon Lords of Kazdel were, well, battle maniacs."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, glanced at her sister, and said, "But isn't this better? At least it won't be too tiring for us to be together."

As she spoke, a fleeting sense of unease crossed Lemuen's mind.

But it only lasted for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, that slight unease vanished.

Theresa is Theresa, Lemuen is Lemuen.

Although both have a gentle exterior, their cores are completely different.

"Oh, right."

Lemuen said softly, "It's true that it's easier to get along with gentler people."

On the other end.

After Han Fei introduced them, he immediately gave out new tasks.

"Texas, didn't you find a card for the Medical Conference Room? Go get it now, and have Theresa take you."

"Good."

Texas agreed without hesitation.

They went to the Medical Conference Room together to Theresa.

After arranging everything, Han Fei walked up to Remy An and Remy Le and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's so hard about this?"

Lemuen shook her head slightly, "I didn't do much, so it wasn't hard work."

"Mental exhaustion is also exhaustion," Han Fei said. "Besides, we've been traveling for the past few days and haven't had a proper rest. We started getting busy as soon as we entered the Babel. We'll get a good rest for a couple of days when we get back."

"You can arrange it."

Lemuen smiled gently, then remembered something and said, "However, next time, can we not all come out together? Have we decided who will stay behind?"

Lemuen hadn't intended to speak up; if she had somewhere else to go, she wouldn't want to be a third wheel.

--Sankta was such a bright light bulb; even when she was nestled in her sister's arms, the halo around her head was incredibly prominent.

But when this topic came up, Lemuen couldn't bury her head in the sand anymore. She immediately raised her little face and hurriedly said, "Boss, don't make me stay behind! I'm so lucky, it would be such a waste for me to stay!"

We'll see.

Han Fei scratched his head. "I haven't really thought about this yet."

"We'll talk about that later."

Lemuen, with a submissive air of "I'll do whatever you say," said softly, "Anyway, you're the boss."

"Tsk, I think I'll just go out first."

Lemuen got up from her sister's arms, glanced at the silent Ines in the corner, and frowned, saying, "Don't just stand there, come with me."

"Boss, shall I search elsewhere?" Lemuen asked, turning around.

"Don't run around."

Han Fei shook his head. "The Babel is in chaos right now. We don't want to be mistaken for the enemy."

Lemuen agreed, and obediently replied, "Oh, then I'll stay outside."

Before long, Lemuen Ines from their sight.

But Lemuen; she immediately realized that her restless younger sister hadn't gone very far.

Based on her understanding of Lemuen, she could even imagine Xiao Le sneakily crouching in some corner, eavesdropping.

However, Lemuen didn't mind, since she didn't plan to play those private little games with Han Fei here anyway.
