"He said that after nine o'clock it counts as a late-night snack, so this isn't considered dinner time."
"Huh?"
"What that means is, Kiana, you made a bet with the teaching assistant, right? These dishes are what he specifically saved for you."
"After all, your bet was for dinner, but it didn't say anything about not being able to eat a late-night snack."
"?!"
Kiana blinked and suddenly turned her head to look at the dishes on the dining table.
Did that teaching assistant specifically save them for me?
For a moment, her mood became complicated, and she remained silent for a long time.
Tap—tap-tap
Mei ignored Kiana and continued chopping the ingredients on the cutting board, but the smile on her lips didn't disappear.
In fact, she had told a small lie.
Ren Yu hadn't said those words; she had merely helped Kiana interpret his meaning.
Meanwhile.
After a satisfying meal, Ren Yu, with a relaxed mood, set off on his journey home.
At this moment, the bright moon hung high in the sky, with few stars visible.
Along both sides of the road, streetlights provided a steady source of light, illuminating the surroundings as brightly as day.
After taking just two steps, Ren Yu felt something was off.
It feels like someone is following me.
As soon as the thought arose, a handsome man with short black hair, dressed in a black suit, appeared not far from him.
"Yo, isn't that Old Yang? What kind of disguise is this?"
Ren Yu waved at the man and quickly walked to meet him.
The person who arrived was his nominal superior, the leader of Anti-Entropy, and the inheritor of the First Herrscher core, Miss Wa...deline.
Although Ren Yu had known that Wadeline could disguise herself, he hadn't expected her to disguise herself as "him."
The handsome man replied speechlessly:
"Didn't you say that in another world, I look like this?"
"If you're not used to it, I can change back."
With a flash of blue light, Wadeline returned to her original appearance.
—Shoulder-length brown hair, a cool demeanor, and an indescribable heroic aura.
Ren Yu looked her up and down and commented:
"As expected, I still find you more pleasing to the eye this way."
"Really?"
Wadeline waved her hand:
"Never mind that, what are you planning to do next?"
Ren Yu gave her a strange look, "Me? Aren't I helping you draw aggro so you can build the Moonlight Throne underground?"
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Wadeline didn't deny it and asked again, "Are you planning to leave Anti-Entropy next?"
Ren Yu smiled and replied:
"It's still a long way off. It'll probably be after you guys help me craft the 'Blink Crystal' and the 'Apocalypse Greatsword'."
Chapter 15: Faceless One
The full name of the Blink Crystal is "Sil's Blink Crystal."
It's a special piece of equipment in Bouncing Warehouse. Its benefits include allowing the user to enter stealth, significantly increasing movement speed, and boosting the damage of the first attack upon breaking stealth.
Coincidentally, Ren Yu also possesses another emblem that pairs well with it—[Faceless One].
Its effect is:
Opportunist Increases damage dealt to enemies with HP greater than 55% by 200%; this effect is further increased by 130% when the character is in stealth or invisible.
(World Correction: When using the crystal to enter an asynchronous space, you will gain an Imaginary Energy boost.)
This is quite interesting.
The "Hound of the Baskervilles" alone gave him such a high physical stat bonus, and after injecting it with emblem energy, he could even contend with an A-rank Valkyrie wearing a Valkyrie armor.
With [Faceless One] and the [Crystal] forming a small, complete system, as long as Ren Yu wielded any decent weapon, he definitely wouldn't be weak.
Ren Yu shook his head, pushing the thought aside for now.
It wasn't finished yet!
Although the crystal's restoration progress was over 80%, it would still take time to truly complete.
As for the greatsword...
Its progress was even further behind. The unfinished product Anti-Entropy had manufactured based on the blueprints was like a toy, completely useless.
This was also quite baffling to Wadeline.
The manufacturing methods were exactly the same, yet nothing could be created without the blueprints.
