Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

As she explained this, Rita suddenly realized something.

If she's not being controlled, what's she doing digging here?

"No, no, no, I'm really fine."

Realizing the misunderstanding, Otori quickly explained, glancing at Xiao Shi sitting on a rock not far away, legs crossed, supervising the work.

If I hadn't agreed, I might have been controlled or had my memories read.

To prevent the virus from infecting the host, her current body is in offline mode, and relevant memories and information have not been uploaded. Losing them would be a huge loss.

She had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that Durandal was about to cause trouble for Xiao Shi, Otori quickly stopped her.

She repeatedly stated that she was sober and that she was forced to do this.

"But given your situation...?"

Looking at the wound on Otori's hand, Durandal couldn't bear it.

She then came up with an idea, took a tool from the wheelbarrow next to her, and helped dig.

"I think you could just sneak away..."

Rita blushed. "Also, Lady Durandal, you didn't need to do these things."

“Don’t arouse suspicion,” Otto said, shaking her head. She couldn’t leave easily yet.

"Rita, I have a new task for you."

"Stay as close to Theresa and the others as possible, cooperate with them for now, and maintain the status quo until I give them new orders."

"Aren't you against and don't want them to enter the inner city?"

Ottori nodded; she still thought so too.

She had a premonition—that she couldn't stop it.

The girls will be able to get in sooner or later, especially after what just happened.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, but she doesn't know what Ziyao is up to, so she's unlikely to make the right move.

"Rong Lita, what exactly is your goal?"

"god."

Ottoli stopped hiding it and said it very frankly.

She was very interested in the god that the Lawyer promoted to the outside world.

It's very likely that it refers to the Honkai Will.

Unlike themselves, the girls wanted to find the missing doctor and kill the two Herrschers.

World Serpent is researching the phenomenon of zombies who retain consciousness, and the underlying principles.

So far, there has been no real conflict between us.

But once we enter the inner city, things become unpredictable.

"Understood, I will obey your command... Huh?"

As she spoke, Rita looked up and met Theresa's gaze as she walked over.

The girl froze on the spot after seeing them clearly, her pupils widening.

Why is Durandal mining...?

Theresa wondered if she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes.

How did she end up being drafted?

Although I know Ziyao isn't picky about people, this is too exaggerated and feels unreal.

If Theresa were to find out that Ottoli was her grandfather, the bishop, she might faint immediately.

To avoid exposing Otori, Durandal abandoned her without hesitation and immediately disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Lady Theresa, she's here to see me."

Rita apologized and tried her best to distract Theresa so as not to affect Ottori.

"That scared me. I didn't know that was the case."

Theresa clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought Ziyao had brought Youlandair back with her.

Theresa found Ziyao in an open space not far away.

"There's a small mountain of Honkai crystals piled up over there in the plaza. Do we really need that many?"

She reported that she frequently encountered assassins pushing small carts loaded with translucent, luminous crystals along the way.

In less than two hours, thanks to the efforts of nearly a thousand people, countless crystals were collected.

If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to let go.

After listening, Ziyao pondered for a moment, then went back to the square with her.

With a flick of her sleeve, the girl caused a small crystal mountain to vanish instantly.

Many of the assassins were completely stunned, which made them even more convinced that the girl was a messenger of the gods.

[Ding! Recycling successful! Congratulations on obtaining *21145 Crystals!]

Volume 1: Chapter 282 Huge Income

Each crystal can be exchanged for 0.2 to 0.5 crystals.

Not many, but the quantity is too large.

The substantial sum of money made Ziyao feel that the trip here was worthwhile, and she was in a very good mood, almost to the point of rubbing her temple with her right index finger.

Theresa, come closer.

?

Still bewildered, Theresa was in a daze, unable to comprehend how Ziyao had made the hill disappear.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's pleasant hair scent wafted over, and Ziyao hugged her from behind like a pillow.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Feeling embarrassed at being treated like a child, Theresa blushed and said, "There are other people here."

Despite her protest, which seemed like a struggle, Ziyao released her and smiled, "Hehe, I got a little too happy."

At this rate, they might be able to collect tens of thousands of crystals.

“If the headmistress can’t satisfy my sister, and she still feels it’s not enough, Bronya is willing to offer herself.”

Bronya, standing to the side, puffed out her cheeks and said in a somewhat resentful tone.

What is thorny grass to one is a treasure to another.

She's more than happy to be so close to her sister; that stupid headmaster is such a waste, and he doesn't even realize it.

"No, we're still on a mission, please maintain a healthy relationship."

Theresa stepped in the middle and stopped them.

Although this relationship was abnormal from the beginning, starting with a love triangle.

—A healthy and wholesome relationship.

This is the only thing she must persist in.

Seeing Theresa's resolute attitude, Bronya did not press the matter.

As the night slowly drew to a close.

After repeatedly refreshing the page several times, Ziyao obtained a total of over 70,000 crystals.

The reason I stopped farming is because I reached the system's recycling limit, and I can no longer obtain crystals through recycling this year.

Several small mountains of crystals were piled up in the square, which, according to Bronya's calculations, were just enough as energy.

Tomorrow, they will use these resources to blast open the hidden inner city.

If the Great Void itself is destroyed, what is hidden in the darkness will inevitably come out; otherwise, it will disappear along with it.

It was an incredibly crazy and outrageous plan.

If Ziyao hadn't suggested it, no one would have come up with this outrageous idea.

The resources and manpower that need to be mobilized are astronomical.

Coincidentally, they possess the Herrscher of Void and the Herrscher of Reason, perfectly meeting the requirements.

Sorry, the gacha feature is temporarily unavailable.

The card-drawing module remains locked even after the system is opened.

This feature became unavailable once you entered the Middle East.

In addition to the [Warehouse] and [Shop], a useless [Email] function was recently added.

There are many crystals, but no use for them.

Headache.

Ziyao had no choice but to upgrade her talent.

With over 20,000 crystals spent, both the Riddler and the Puppeteer have reached level 8.

[Ding! Upgrade successful, crystal gain increased by 54%]

[Ding! Upgrade successful. Puppet skills improved: creation, use, manipulation]

Normally, to accumulate that many crystals, you'd probably have to keep leeching off Welt for two years.

An unexpected incident occurred when the store was opened.

Suddenly, a prompt appeared: "[You have a large amount of crystals. Do you want to spend *49999 to unlock the premium shop?]"

Upon hearing this, Ziyao immediately felt like she had been tricked.
