As the Water Cannon Mecha attempted to continue firing at Su Rui and Myrtle, it conveniently exposed its back to the Durin. The Durin, who had been knocked away by the water cannons, immediately cheered joyfully and began firing their Water Cannon Mecha's back.

The pilot seemed quite frustrated. Although his ability to design mechs was excellent, he clearly lacked combat experience.

He had already turned around to face Su Rui Su Rui Myrtle, intending to teach them a lesson, but he was then attacked by the Durin Myrtle him. He began to panic and tried to turn around and fight back against the Durin.

This relieved Pozëmka, who was high up, and she then focused her attention on Su Rui and Myrtle.

"Hiss~ At first I just thought the water cannon would just push people away, but now it seems it's actually quite uncomfortable."

Su Rui struggled uncomfortably, but Myrtle held him tightly, preventing him from breaking free.

"Su Rui ~ Let me hold you a little longer~"

Myrtle was clearly also somewhat reluctant to move because of the noise of being pushed out by the water cannon.

Pozëmka couldn't help but feel a little happy looking at Su Rui and Myrtle's disheveled appearance. These two had abandoned her to go out and have fun, and now they were finally getting their comeuppance.

Besides, Su Rui, soaking wet, is really tempting... I really want to go downstairs right now, pick Su Rui up, and take her to my room...

As Pozëmka pondered, her eyes grew misty.

Myrtle nestled in Su Rui's arms, acting coquettishly towards Su Rui. Then, looking into Su Rui's eyes, she suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Myrtle with some surprise, not understanding why she had suddenly become lost in thought.

However, at this moment, the Myrtle was also somewhat tempting... completely soaked, its lips moist and glistening, making one want to taste it.

With that thought in mind, Su Rui immediately took action, lowering her head and sealing Myrtle's lips with hers.

Meanwhile, Pozëmka, who had been happily watching the show from above, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked down at Su Rui and Myrtle, whose relationship had suddenly taken such a turn.

Pozëmka, who had been cheerful just moments before, now wore a look as if she had seen someone put pineapple in her spicy soup, and she wished she could find someone to beat up.

As if she hadn't expected this at all, Pozëmka wished she could take the heavy crossbow off her back, but she still had some sense of reason, so Pozëmka just gripped the railing in front of her tightly, glaring at Su Rui and Myrtle through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Su Rui had already sealed Myrtle's lips with his. Both of them were wet from the water cannon. At first, Myrtle was a little uncomfortable, but after gradually getting used to Su Rui's actions, Myrtle became somewhat unwilling to just follow Su Rui's lead.

She started trying to take the initiative, reaching out to wrap her arms around Su Rui's neck and Su Rui closer until they were pressed together.

Pozëmka could only watch anxiously, hoping that the Durin would notice them and stop Su Rui and Myrtle, or that the giant Water Cannon Mecha would turn around and fire another shot at Su Rui Su Rui and Myrtle, washing Myrtle away.

Unfortunately, Pozëmka's expectations were dashed. As more and more high-pressure water cannons hit the giant Water Cannon Mecha, sparks began to fly from the mech's exterior and interior, and its movements became increasingly sluggish and unsteady.

Finally, amidst the cheers of the Durin, the Water Cannon Mecha crashed to the ground with a loud "boom!"

The sound of the Water Cannon Mecha falling didn't attract the attention of Su Rui and Myrtle, as Su Rui Myrtle both somewhat engrossed and couldn't quite catch their breath.

However, after defeating the Water Cannon Mecha, the surrounding Durin began to celebrate and soon noticed Su Rui and Myrtle cuddling and kissing each other in the pool to the side.

Many Durin still remembered Su Rui and Myrtle's previous performance, and they gradually formed a large Myrtle around Su Rui, then cheered.

Su Rui and Myrtle also realized something was wrong because of the continuous cheers around them that seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Myrtle asked with some concern, "Su Rui, did you hear anything around you?"

'Hmm.' Su Rui activated his Scanning Vision in both his own and Myrtle's field of vision:

'Oh no~ it looks like we're surrounded.'

Although Su Rui concealed Pozëmka's figure, the increasing number of onlookers, including Durin, were not hidden.

Realizing her current predicament Su Rui, Myrtle panicked. She instinctively hugged Su Rui, ending their kiss at the same time, and then tried to pick Su Rui up and run away.

However, although Myrtle did manage to carry Su Rui, the Durin around them didn't just stand by and watch. They cheered around Su Rui and Myrtle, leaving no room for Myrtle to escape.

Volume 8, Chapter 513: Barbecue - Someone Poisoned It

Su Rui patted Myrtle on the shoulder and whispered in her ear with a smile:

Want to know how to solve your current problem?

"What are we going to do? They've blocked all our escape routes!"

Myrtle didn't think Su Rui had a good idea at all. He couldn't exactly scare away all the Durin around him with Rapid-Fire Gun, could he? He'd be arrested as a terrorist if he did that.

"Don't worry." Su Rui climbed off Myrtle's shoulder, waved to the surrounding Durin, and amidst their enthusiastic gazes, embraced Myrtle and kissed her again.

Amidst the cheers of the Durin, Tiantian, somewhat recklessly, went along with Su Rui's kisses, hoping to become engrossed and at least relieve her of the shame.

'So, this is your method?'

'Hmm, let them watch their fill, then we can leave.' Su Rui's voice was somewhat smug, but Myrtle was quite displeased:

'I was trying to run away because I didn't want to be watched, and now you're just showing it off to them.'

"Relax, we're a couple now. What's wrong with kissing in public? You're not going to turn your back on me, are you?"

"I wouldn't!" Myrtle retorted strongly, then seemed a little embarrassed.

"But I didn't expect a public place to be like this, with so many people watching us."

Even if Myrtle could accept kissing Su Rui in public, it would probably be in a roadside café or something similar. Those places might not be as lively, but they would be romantic, and the kissing couple wouldn't be so conspicuous.

Kissing in front of so many people is torture right now.

Fortunately, amidst the cheers of the Durin, Su Rui and Myrtle, having finished their kiss, saw that the Durin who had been watching the spectacle were also turning away and making way while chatting happily. They had already seen the show and there was no need for them to continue blocking the road.

"What's wrong? Getting angry? How about we try to get a mecha and fight them?" Su Rui teased Myrtle inwardly, finding it somewhat amusing.

"No, actually, I'm quite grateful to them." Myrtle's eyes were a little shy. If it weren't for this, she felt that her relationship with Su Rui would probably have a long way to go.

"Moreover, if we get caught causing trouble in our later years, we might run into the Eunectes and Gavial, which would be too dangerous."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Su Rui nodded, without saying anything more, and walked hand in hand with Myrtle away from the gradually dispersing encirclement of the Durin, heading towards the outside of the pool.

After the commotion, it was getting closer to noon. The giant mech lay in the pool, and the surrounding Durin happily turned the fallen mech into a new playground. Some even tried to climb into the cockpit to attempt to restart the mech.

Then they were severely reprimanded by the designer, who was also the pilot:

"Although I've turned off the power, this mech might still be leaking electricity. This isn't an amusement park, get out of here! You! I'm talking to you! Get out of the cockpit!"

However, the pilot's words had no effect. He was lifted up by the Durin and placed on the beach, while the rest of the Durin continued to examine and tinker with the fallen mech.

"Damn it, you all just wait, I'll be back!"

The frustrated designer watched Erdu Durin's retreating figure, grumbled angrily, and then turned and walked towards the city. His aggressive strides made it seem as if he had already planned his revenge.

It seems my decision was right; the more designers know about these things, the more lively the scene will become.

Su Rui nodded. Besides the designer who had just suffered a setback, many other designers who had received the news were eager to take action.

A pleasant smile involuntarily crept onto Su Rui's lips.

The more lively it gets, the busier the Eunectes and Gavial will be, and the less likely Su Rui and Myrtle will be to be discovered.

After playing all morning, Su Rui and Myrtle had just been hit by water guns, were both a bit tired and didn't really want to move, but they still wanted to eat some hearty food to replenish their energy.

So, when they saw the barbecue stall, they made plans for lunch.

Myrtle looked at Su Rui, her eyes sparkling. "Shall we still have barbecue for lunch? But I'm a little tired. How about we let someone else grill the meat and we just wait to eat?"

"I have no objection." Su Rui nodded and went to the barbecue stall with Myrtle. They casually found a table and chair, sat down, and then picked up the menu from the table to order.

Myrtle asked curiously, "The stall owner from yesterday seemed so relaxed. It looked like her equipment had been turned into an automatic barbecue?"

"Because she received sponsorship, specifically from a designer."

Su Rui nodded, took out her and Myrtle's phones from the System Space, handed Myrtle's to her, and then opened the game on the phone.

Myrtle immediately became alert upon hearing the word "designer." She couldn't help it; after all, the designer had caused several problems in the past two days, so Myrtle couldn't afford not to be nervous.

"A designer? What if the barbecue stall owners here...?" What if they suddenly stand up and attack someone?

The fire used for barbecuing, the knife used for cutting meat, and the metal skewers used for skewering meat are all dangerous items, much more dangerous than a high-pressure water cannon.

"Don't worry, although it's true that barbecue stall owners could stand up and hit people, neither we nor the designer actually want them to do it, as it's somewhat dangerous."

Myrtle nodded. "Is this barbecue stand really safe?"

"Of course there are. Why do you think that?"

Su Rui glanced at the whimsical Myrtle with some doubt:

"Although the combat system at the barbecue stall won't be triggered on its own, there are other things around. The barbecue stall is actually just bait."

"Then aren't we already in danger?" Myrtle immediately became alert, but unfortunately, she was too tired to move.

"Don't worry, I'm still here. None of the drones can harm us. Just wait for our barbecue."

Then, as Myrtle was eating, she noticed that some of the Durin around her were getting up and heading towards the pool, seemingly drunk, and they even got into a fight along the way.

At first, Myrtle thought the Durin were just playing around, until someone started trying to take the slide apart.

Volume 8, Chapter 514: The Controlled Crowd

"What happened? What's going on?" Myrtle sat next to Su Rui, holding a barbecue skewer in her hand, and looked at Su Rui in confusion.

"It's nothing. The designer just created a psychotropic drug that causes people who eat the barbecue to experience certain hallucinations. For example, right now, they think that giant water slide is some kind of monster and want to go over and tear it down. As for the people around them, they are all innocent civilians controlled by that monster, so even if they fight, they will restrain themselves."

Su Rui's words immediately made Myrtle nervous. "Psychotropic drugs? Su Rui, why didn't you say so sooner? Have we already been infected?"

"What are you thinking about?" Su Rui glared at Myrtle with annoyance. "With me here, of course you'll be fine. I controlled the machine when we were making the barbecue. Those psychotropic drugs would catch fire when heated, so they were added as seasonings at the end. I didn't let the machine add those drugs to our barbecue."

"Su Rui, didn't you even try to stop the machine from adding those drugs to other people? That doesn't seem right at all!"

"I don't think it's a big deal. In fact, these people who have been infected are similar to those who have eaten undercooked mushrooms. There's not much danger. Besides, the people who designed the drug didn't intend to harm anyone. You could even think of these people as just being drunk and acting crazy, except that their targets are all the same."

Su Rui pulled Myrtle to a different direction, looking towards the pool and slide. While slowly eating her kebabs, she watched the large pool become lively again. Durin's city was truly full of hidden talents.

"Aren't we going to stop them?"

"Don't worry, those people will be fine. It's just a disturbance similar to the previous Water Cannon Mecha, and the effects of the psychotropic drugs won't last long."

Su Rui took a skewer of roasted meat from the plate in front of Myrtle: "Instead of worrying about them, you might as well take this opportunity to eat more. After all, there's been a lot going on in Durin's underground city lately. Without enough stamina, you simply can't keep playing. Besides, aren't you hungry?"

"Of course I'm hungry!" Myrtle glared and reached out to try and snatch the skewer of roasted meat that Su Rui had taken from Su Rui hand.

However, Su Rui had already anticipated this, and with a slight raise of her hand, she avoided Myrtle's outstretched hand.

"What are you thinking? I won't let you take anything from me."

Although they said that, Su Rui and Myrtle were sitting close together, so Myrtle only needed to reach out to grab Su Rui's arm.

However, just as Su Rui was about to wrestle with Myrtle, Myrtle did not reach out to snatch Su Rui's skewers as Su Rui expected. Instead, she suddenly leaned in and covered Su Rui's mouth with her tongue.

"Huh?" Su Rui's eyes widened in surprise, thinking to herself, "We're still eating. Even if you're in a hurry, can't you talk about it after dinner?"

'Who gave you the right to bully me? I'm going to kiss you right now.'

Myrtle didn't care about anything else. She hugged Su Rui and kissed him, but didn't continue. Instead, she glanced at Su Rui triumphantly, then sat down again and continued to enjoy her skewers.

"Su Rui, you said there will be a lot of problems in the dungeon recently. How many exactly?"

"There are more than you can imagine; you might encounter them at almost every step you take."

Myrtle nodded. After her initial gasp, she quickly calmed down. Anyway, Su Rui could handle all the problems. The electronically controlled drone was no problem for Su Rui at all.

So, Myrtle smiled happily and leaned against Su Rui:

"I don't know why, but looking at the chaos over there, sitting next to you, safe and sound, without having to worry about anything, makes me feel very comfortable."

"Of course, I can help you solve these problems," Su Rui said casually, glancing at Myrtle beside her.

"Shall we stay here a little longer, and then what are our plans?"

"Hmm... we've been playing by this big pool for two days now, how about we go check out somewhere else?"

Myrtle looked thoughtful, then turned to Su Rui: "How about we find a quieter place?"

After all, she has Su Rui with her now, so she doesn't need any other forms of entertainment.

As long as she finds a secluded spot with Su Rui by her side, Myrtle naturally has other ways to make herself happy.

Su Rui nodded and used her Scanning Vision to glance at Pozëmka's location. Pozëmka was also having lunch, but she seemed very cautious. Unlike the Durin here, she didn't fall directly into the trap. Instead, she casually chose a seemingly risk-free place, bought some food, and hid on a high place, watching over the area.

Su Rui noticed that Pozëmka was gritting her teeth while eating, as if she wanted to tear something to shreds. Was she really that angry?

Seeing Pozëmka's "cute" appearance, Su Rui couldn't help but smile. He slowly savored the roasted meat, finding it amusing to watch Pozëmka's flushed face.

After lunch, Su Rui activated her Scanning Vision within Myrtle's field of vision, displaying the city of Durin, and inquired:

"Do I need to remind you? Or are there other conditions? In short, choosing a location is not a casual or easy thing."

"I know, I've made up my mind."
