And Xiao Huasheng softly said to Emperor.

"In that case, I want to ask you for a favor."

"I don't help with troublesome things."

Emperor's personality was indeed exactly like the one in her memories, and since that was the case, there was nothing to hesitate about.

She would just say it directly.

"Boss, I want to join Penguin Logistics."

As an outsider, wanting to join Penguin Logistics shouldn't be a difficult task.

It was nothing more than Emperor needing to take a liking to her, and her strength needing to pass muster.

Emperor heard Xiao Huasheng's words, pondered for a moment, and took off his sunglasses.

"Really?"

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually super strong."

She raised her hand, the halo above her red hair flashed for a moment, and a machine gun appeared in her slender hand, its long belt of bullets even dragging all the way to the ground!

MG3!

Gasp!

Emperor drew in a sharp breath. He had always thought that the Guardian Guns of the angels topped out at rifles, and suddenly a big guy like this showed up.

Besides, where did this thing even appear from?

Emperor immediately gave a thumbs up.

Awesome!

"Your Guardian Gun really is exaggerated. Very nice, I like it!!"

Emperor cried out, waved his penguin wings, and said, "Just in time! I still have a pick-up and delivery mission. Finish this mission and it'll be OK!"

"No problem."

Xiao Huasheng hoisted the machine gun with one hand and made a V-sign with the other.

A pick-up and delivery mission or whatever.

She was actually a little excited.

She really didn't know what kind it would be specifically.

Penguin Logistics usually operated in groups of two or more, and this time naturally required two people as well.

It seemed she could only wait for Texas and the others to sober up.

About three hours later.

Xiao Huasheng confessed her identity; she was just a passerby who had accidentally walked through a door.

Everyone was shocked and at the same time clueless.

Only Emperor understood everything.

Emperor knew some of the deep secrets upon this land.

In response, after expressing his acceptance of Xiao Huasheng, Emperor recruited her into his company.

Subsequently, Emperor led everyone to the warehouse.

In the warehouse behind the bar, a huge box was carried over by Emperor, who wobbled under its weight.

He put this box on top of the table.

Before them were Exusiai, Croissant, and Xiao Huasheng.

"Listen up, this time we are asked to transport this to Chernobog. The coordinates of the mobile city have already been sent to us."

At a glance, the contents of the black box in front of them were clearly not simple.

"What's the specific location?"

Xiao Huasheng spoke up to ask a question. It was very strange that the other party had only given the coordinates of a city without stating the specific address.

Emperor spread his wings and said casually.

"They probably just don't want us to know. We just need to shut our mouths and do the job."

"Understood."

She nodded; this truly was the style of their clients on ordinary days.

Unusually, this transport mission was undertaken by three people.

This could also be considered one of the few three-person missions.

Croissant held her shield and chuckled, "With me here, Exusiai, you guys can rest easy."

The ultimate bread-man deliberately made a teasing remark.

This feeling really was quite strange.

Exusiai and the others...

Might as well just call her A-Neng.

Exusiai also spoke up to ask.

"What's your name? Not a codename, but your real name."

This counted as a formal introduction; it was indeed troublesome to keep going on with Exusiai this and Exusiai that.

Xiao Huasheng pondered for a second, wrung her brains, and came up with a name.

"Then just call me 173. A very simple serial number."

Everyone's expressions were slightly strange, but thinking of how she had previously said she came from a mercenary background, suddenly they didn't have so many thoughts about it.

On this girl who looked just like Exusiai, there was bound to be a bundle of stories.

Wearing a black bulletproof vest, Xiao Huasheng calmly picked up the box—which required two people to lift—with one hand under the gaze of everyone.

Emperor muttered a complaint.

"Didn't notice your strength was quite so big..."

Hearing this, she tossed the case into the trunk of the car and said helplessly, "There are monsters whose strength is even greater than mine."

Subject to being watched, Xiao Huasheng's overall physical abilities were merely those of a top King of Fighters who could forever maintain peak strength, far inferior to some freaks in this bizarre world.

Inside the Foundation, there were even a whole bunch of terrifying entities.

Faced with these dangerous existences, 682 was quite afraid.

It would be a wonder if she could feel proud about it.

However, the one thing that could be determined was that the Foundation was unlikely to exist upon Terra.

Just judging by this point alone, one could know.

She had indeed time-traveled once more, coming to the continent of Terra with the physique of 173.

She didn't know whether Originium would still have any effect on this body.

Yet Xiao Huasheng wasn't foolish enough to want to give it a try.

Originium Arts, which were like magic, were indeed cool, but they were traded for with one's life.

In this world, Originium remained a high-risk item.

If not for a strong yearning, who would want to gain power at the cost of losing their health?

Not to mention, this thing called Originium was completely a pre-civilization upload device.

Touch this stone and you get infected, and shortly after you ascend to the Originium universe.

After Kal'tsit was fiercely loved by Old P, in her impression she had already ascended, leaving behind only a pair of panties.

Cyber female ghosts are truly terrifying... No, it didn't seem to be cyber anymore.

Xiao Huasheng thought a mess of random things.

Click!

She casually closed the trunk. This car was still the black sedan they had driven here.

Having done all this, she turned back and waved cheerfully.

"Ready! Stop playing statues, let's go!"

This made the eyes of all the members of Penguin Logistics flash with brilliant colors.

Xiao Huasheng truly fit their tastes too well.

Thus, before getting in the car for work, Emperor pulled her back.

"Hm?"

Filled with doubt, she turned her head around.

She only heard Emperor say the following.

"This outfit of yours is way too tattered; don't go ruining the face of Penguin Logistics. Go change into a new outfit first!"

Croissant casually stroked Xiao Huasheng's thigh, causing her cheeks to flush slightly and her eyes to widen.

"Haha, 173, this bulletproof vest of yours lacks a sense of security."

Exusiai also walked over. "173, seeing that your height is about the same as mine, come to my room and try on some clothes."

Xiao Huasheng wore a hesitant expression.

"However, isn't the transport mission urgent..."

Emperor earnestly patted her lower leg.

The short penguin spoke on the ground.

"I don't care what kind of mercenary you were before. Remember our number one rule: never go out unless dressed prettily."

Texas: "Wasn't it entertainment to death before?"

Emperor: "It's fine, I just added a new one."

Xiao Huasheng looked at all of this with a smile; perhaps this wasn't bad either.

Chapter 13: Own's sweaty feet, so much love [5-part update]

Within the scarred Foundation.

Personnel wearing white hats were tallying the economic losses brought about by the battle with 173-1.

While there were no casualties among the personnel, the blow to finances was devastating.

Not a single area passed through by 173-1 remained intact; there were bound to be empty craters here and there.

If it were merely financial losses, that would still be fine.

The problem lay in the matter of 173-1's escape; who could know what kind of things an entity that had broken free from the Foundation's restraints might do.

It couldn't possibly go off and behave itself to work a regular job?!

The Foundation had already prepared themselves at any moment for a large-scale containment breach, and thus prepared for amnestization.

Because of this incident, the Site Director in charge of this facility was also successfully imprisoned, and it was unknown when he would be able to come out.

He had failed to fulfill his due duties.

Yet everyone within the Foundation knew that whoever came here to hold this position would have to kneel.

The Mobile Task Force's verbal descriptions of 173-1's formidable might were simply even more powerful than 682's.

This entity also had its name and class changed here.
