Chapter 123

Pardofelis: "It's different. Sister Mei is more capable; she can go wherever she wants. But if Canned Food can falls in, there's no guarantee it'll be found!"

In just a few seconds, after the Canned Food disappeared, Pardo had already figured out how to divide the cat food she left in the Elysian Realm Store all by herself.

[In the scene, Raiden Mei is searching for the Raven's figure. On Elysia's recommendation, she finds Pardofelis.]

"One thousand one hundred and thirteen, one thousand one hundred and fourteen, wow, there are so many silver coins! How long will it take me to count them all?"

Pardofelis was leaning over the shelf, happily counting the silver coins she had earned, her face beaming with joy.

"Oh? We have a guest?"

"Hello, Pardofelis," Raiden Mei greeted.

"Hey, how did you know my name? Oh, you're the guest that Sister Elysia mentioned, right? She greeted me."

Pardofelis looked enlightened.

"Welcome, welcome! Don't be shy, just call me Pardofelis, or Pardo is fine too. Feel free to pick anything from the shelves; we guarantee authenticity, or we'll pay ten times your money back. No returns or exchanges, please."

He immediately identified himself as a shrewd businessman, and his transaction rule of "tenfold compensation for fakes, no returns or exchanges" made Raiden Mei raise an eyebrow.

"These two slogans of yours shouldn't be together, should they?"

"Ah, wait a minute, could it be that you're Miss Raiden Mei? Wow! It's you! Sister Elysia has told me so many stories about you."

Pardofelis looked on with an expression of adoration.

"A successor with horns on his head, who quickly became everyone's favorite after arriving, then turned around and beat up Sister Snake for the sake of peace in the Elysian Realm."

"Oh, Sister Snake is Dr. Mobius, I like calling her that."

"You're amazing! When Sister Snake gets serious, even if there were a hundred, no, two hundred of them, I still couldn't beat her!"

Raiden Mei 'Flame-Chasers first impression of Pardofelis was that he was a pretty easy-going and righteous person.

In short, neither being a riddle teller nor a hospitable Flame-Chasers like Chakravartin is good news for Mei.

Raiden Mei: "When did you beat up Mobius?"

Mei only remembered that in the last video that was exposed, she fought with Mobius, and the outcome was still unknown.

However, one thing is certain: she did not die in the battle with Mobius.

The key question is, is Raiden Mei truly capable of defeating Mobius, who has already decided to kill her, all by herself?

Danzhu: "To defeat Dr. Mobius, that would be impressive."

Cang Xuan: "Although the Doctor is a researcher, even within Flame-Chasers, the Doctor's combat strength holds a certain status."

Pardofelis: "Sister Mei, you actually beat Sister Snake? That's incredible!"

Kiana: "Mei is strong! Mei is invincible!"

Raiden Mei: "Ahem, Kiana, don't do that, it's kind of embarrassing."

Mei lowered her face in shame, unsure whether she had actually beaten Mobius.

It's not surprising that Pardo's words were somewhat exaggerated.

If she not only fails to win but is also rescued by someone else, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

[In the scene, Raiden Mei can only remain silent under Pardofelis's praise, creating an awkward atmosphere.]

Seeing this, Pardofelis quickly steered the conversation back to the products.

"Sister Mei, what are you looking to buy today? Perfect timing, I just got a new batch from Sister Vill-V's [workshop]."

"I'm looking for someone, Elysia said you could help me."

"Oh, intelligence business? No problem! So, whose gossip do you want to know?"

Pardofelis readily agreed.

Although Elysian Realm Shop's main purpose is the exchange of goods, Pardo still adheres to the principle of respecting the privacy of others' personal information.

But what if Raiden Mei gives a lot?

"Raven."

"Who?"

The word "Raven" reached Pardofelis's ears, and the cat looked completely bewildered.

As the owner of the Elysian Realm Shop, there's no one in the entire Previous Era Elysian Realm that she doesn't know, but now it seems like there's a visitor who's not part of her intelligence network.

"Hmm... she's about this tall, with short hair, dressed in all black, and has red claws on her hands," Raiden Mei described her in the simplest language possible.

"Black clothes, red claws? Are there people like that in the Elysian Realm?"

"..."

"But it's okay, Sister Mei. You might not know this, but I'm the best at finding things. Whether it's people or objects, as long as the reward is right, I'll definitely get them for you."

Pardofelis confidently gave his assurance.

Elysia: "As expected of Pardofelis, she's always so confident in her area of expertise."

Pardofelis: "Of course, Sister Elysia, I don't have your strength, but when it comes to finding things, there's no one in the entire Fire Moth who's better than me."

Theresa: "Oh, it's rare to see Pardo standing up for herself like this."

Pardofelis: "Of course! Pardo is actually quite brave. When it comes to getting the goods, I'm the one who takes the lead, while the Canned Food are on guard."

Canned Food: "Meow~"

Judging from the tone of Canned Food's voice, what Pardo said should be true.

[Q&A begins.]

Mei asks Pardo for help in finding the Raven. What is Pardofelis's reward for her?

[Quick Answer Question]

Chapter 204 Reward: A Day Trip to Pardo Island

Raiden Mei: "As long as the reward is right, I can find anything... Pardo, what kind of reward do you want?"

Pardofelis: "Sister Mei, what are you saying? Do you think I would charge you such a high price? I Pardo an honest business and would never cheat someone."

However, he was ultimately leading the way to find someone, and that person was Raven, someone he didn't know at all.

The Previous Era Elysian Realm is so vast, it's necessary for Pardo to charge a small fee for her services.

Raiden Mei: "Silver coins?"

Pardofelis: "Of course not. I already said it's our first meeting, would I accept money from Sister Mei?"

Kiana: "Don't you want silver coins? But I saw you've already counted over 1100, and you're still counting."

Without a doubt, that must have been the spoils of war that Pardo ripped off some sucker.

Pardofelis: "Ahem, can Sister Mei be compared to everyone else? A mature businessman learns to view customers with a long-term perspective. For our first meeting, the reward I'd like... is probably just to make friends with Sister Mei."

[Correct answer.]

Theresa: "Making friends, what kind of reward is this?"

Pardofelis: "You guys don't understand, do you? A special visitor like Sister Mei will definitely stay in the Elysian Realm for a long time, so the first transaction naturally has to leave a good impression on her."

Pardofelis: "When Sister Mei encounters a problem, the first thing she'll think of is my shop."

Raiden Mei: "What you said... seems to make sense."

Mei understood; Pardo wanted to use her as a long-term meal ticket.

[Congratulations to Pardofelis for winning the reward: a day trip to the island.]

[Description: After use, you will travel to Raven's Island for a free day trip.]

Raven: "Is that even possible? Well, anyway, there are quite a few people here, welcome Pardo."

Even the Valkyrie of Schicksal has come, so how could Raven refuse a friend of the World Serpent Lord?

Now, she needs to cultivate good relationships with the Flame-Chasers so that the Lord can give her a raise, and then she can easily buy another villa island.

Isn't that wonderful?!

Pardofelis: "A villa island, a resort... hehe, I'm here."

A flash of light streaked through the Death Space, and the next moment, Pardofelis appeared in the villa on the island.

The clear sky was invigorating, and the clouds even perfectly shielded the sun from its scorching rays; the weather was just right.

A maid thoughtfully poured her red wine and brought her sunglasses, making the whole room feel alive and providing comfortable service at any time.

Elysia: "Pardofelis, how are you?"

Pardofelis: "This is absolutely fantastic! It's the most perfect service ever. I don't have to do anything. The room and chairs move by themselves, and a robot maid takes care of everything."

Kiana: "That sounds so tempting! Auntie, when will we get our period?"

Theresa: "Right away, Schicksal's private jet is incredibly fast."

At this moment, a group of Valkyrie are heading towards Raven's villa island at supersonic speed.

In the scene, Raiden Mei nodded, and then asked Pardo what reward he needed.

"Hehe, it's simple, I want to be friends with Sister Mei."

Pardofelis explained.

"It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but things have been a bit chaotic in the Elysian Realm lately, and it's quite dangerous to run around like that. And of all times, I lost the Canned Food."

The disappearance of the Canned Food was a very bad thing for Pardofelis.

Especially during turbulent times, if Pardo falls into a trap or runs to a place she can never get out of, she'll be worried sick.

"I can't survive without the Canned Food, Sister Mei. Since you're also looking for someone, how about we walk together for a bit?"

"Whether you look for one or two, it's all the same. Why not travel together? I'll guide you, and you'll keep me safe. That way, I'll avoid a near-death experience, and you'll save yourself a penny. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

"It's that simple?"

Raiden Mei was taken aback by the conditions proposed by Pardofelis; the reward seemed far too meager.

Given the current situation Raven have been missing for so long, Mei would find it perfectly reasonable for Pardo to offer her a high price to rip her off.

"It's that simple. In business, you can't be short-sighted; you have to have a long-term vision."

"Besides, the shop has received a lot of help from Sister Mei while I was away, so this is just a way of giving back to our loyal customers."

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Raiden Mei nodded.

"Okay."

Pardofelis took out a small object.

"I almost forgot, since we're going to make friends, I'll give you my Signet. It's not very useful, but don't worry, it's free."

Raiden Mei accepted Pardofelis's Signet, and a scene flashed through her mind.

Life is but Reverie.

They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.

Since that's the case, why not live more freely? It's just a dream anyway, so what's wrong with being a little bolder?

Raiden Mei accepted Pardofelis's Signet and followed in her footsteps to find the Canned Food and the Raven. Pardo's ability to find people was no joke; it took Mei almost no time to spot the Raven circling around.

"Hey, do you even know the way back? We've been circling around this area at least ten times already!"

The Raven stared listlessly at the strange cat in front of it, feeling as if it had been tricked by the cat.

"Meow..."

Faced with the Raven's questioning, the Canned Food could only raise its claws and put on an innocent look.

"Don't look so wronged, like I'm bullying you."

The Raven stroked its forehead.

She suddenly remembered that she had just been following a cat in circles, and began to wonder if her brain was starting to malfunction.

Kiana: "Pardo, that's pretty impressive. You found them in no time. Tell us, how did you do that?"
