I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

The group's path will pass through a small grassy area, then enter the forest via a shortcut, and emerge from the forest to reach the grassland.

Next, guided by the magician, we will find the cult on the grassland.

The group walked across the grass with a mix of tension and anticipation; many felt the mission would be easy.

After all, there's strength in numbers; there are over 200 adventurers, more than the number of soldiers.

Just as they were chatting, the leading mage stopped.

Everyone looked ahead

"Just a few slimes."

There were several pink slimes ahead of the road. They looked very round and bouncy, not at all like monsters, but more like pets.

But when these slimes attack, it's not like usual.

When most slimes attack, their bouncy bodies suddenly harden.

The slime charged up and leaped, using its hardened body to smash its opponent to pieces.

One of the adventurer mages said, "Gentlemen, let me have these slimes. I happen to need a few pink slime capsules."

Everyone nodded without objection. After all, slime capsules weren't particularly valuable, and since the other party wanted them, it didn't matter.

The mage bowed slightly in thanks, then raised his staff in preparation for casting a spell.

"Olympiad Math: Saint..." Before the magician could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something rush past him.

This sudden turn of events nearly caused the mage to drop his staff.

Everyone had just seen what appeared to be a figure, and they all looked ahead.

[Final Strike] Reed used his incredible speed to reach the pink slimes and unleashed a special attack on several of them.

With the golden afterimage of the broadsword and some falling black feathers

The slime was dead after Reed's first strike; the remaining blows were just a form of desecration.

The soldiers and everyone else stared in disbelief at Reed, who remained frozen in place.

This scene shocked everyone so much that they didn't even see how Reed got to the front.

What's even more outrageous is that everyone just saw it; Reed completed a set of seemingly impressive moves in less than 5 seconds.

The special effects were flashing, and every adventurer was thinking to themselves, "I want to learn this."

"Holy crap, what just flew by?"

"Where did he get that big knife?! I didn't see him carrying a big knife just now!"

"This looks like the guy named Redner from town. I knew he wasn't that strong."

"That's incredibly fast! The swordsmanship is so fast I can't even keep up!"

"I'm very curious, how does he wield that broadsword so skillfully? I can't even be as agile with a slender knife as he is."

Wow, this guy is so handsome! I wonder if he has abs!

The mage who had just asked for the capsule silently took a few steps back.

Kerson stared wide-eyed, as if to say, "Is this even human?"

Everyone was incredibly surprised by Reed's abilities; he was definitely a top-tier player.

If you could latch onto someone powerful, wouldn't that be a lifetime of good fortune?

Reed looked at the slimes that had been reduced to dust and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Reed was looking at those pink things in front of him, the first thing that came to mind was Melting Love.

He charged straight at them; there was no other way—enemies meeting are bound to be furious.

One of the anomalies that Reed hates the most is the location of Melting Love.

The main reason was that during one instance of "Dissolving Love," the virus infected all personnel in three departments, including staff and clerical workers, resulting in many deaths.

That time, Reed wasn't yet at the height of his power; he was nearly killed in the fight and barely made it back to the lounge.

Seeing Reed suddenly rush over, Rena ran up to him and asked, "Reed, what's wrong? Why do you seem so agitated?"

Reed's behavior just now was too abnormal, and that sword technique didn't look like a normal strike at all.

Reed's sudden action felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Reed shook his head, said nothing, and returned to the group.

Reina continued to ask, but Reed didn't answer. Reina, exasperated, stopped asking.

As soon as Reed returned to the party, a whole group of adventurers surrounded him.

Most of them were invitations to join a guild, or people who wanted to join the Red Guild, or simply wanted to make friends.

Some even said they wanted to marry Rhett! In response to this, Rhett made his choice!

Standing still and silent, playing the role of a stone that cannot move or speak.

Reed really didn't know how to respond to these comments, and besides, he was too lazy to talk.

Tef and Rena squeezed through the crowd and came to Reid's side.

"Reid is a member of our Story of Everything guild! He does not accept invitations from other guilds!"

"We don't accept other people into the guild, and Reed doesn't make friends, and Reed doesn't get married!"

Despite being a cripple, Tef was still trying to stop these adventurers.

Rena loudly refused all the adventurers, who, though somewhat unconvinced, said a few words and dispersed.

Soon everyone resumed their journey, but the soldiers and adventurers had one thing in common: Reed.

Reed remained unaffected and continued walking without even blinking.

Rena had gotten used to these things because of Reed's popularity.

Tef, however, was full of curiosity, and after hearing others talk about Reed, he asked Rena about it.

Tef slowly approached Reina and asked, "Reina, is it true that Redner is a member of a mysterious organization?"

"No"

"Redner is actually quite handsome when he takes off everything covering his face, isn't that true?"

"do not know"

"Is it true that Reed is actually a girl disguised as a boy?"

"No, these rumors are getting more and more outrageous. And I just don't understand, where does she look like a girl?"

Reina turned her head to look at Reed beside her.

Almost no skin was exposed on her entire body; her ears were covered by her hair, and she was wearing gloves.

After some investigation, the conclusion reached was that if Reed had a slightly protruding chest, was a little shorter, and had a thinner body...

As long as a person doesn't speak, it's still easy for them to be mistaken for a girl.

But Reed doesn't have any of these necessary characteristics!

Either those people were so hungry they saw everyone as a woman, or they were gay men.

It's also possible that because Reed's skin is mostly covered, some people really need several minutes to figure out his gender if he doesn't speak.

Reina tugged at Reed's sleeve, and Reed looked down at Reina.

"Reed, is that [schadenfreude] you mentioned really that good?"

Reed thought for a few seconds and said, "So-so."

Rena relaxed, her initial tension eased.

"Everyone, we are about to enter the forest," the mage at the front suddenly announced.

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, becoming alert.

The forest is full of unknown dangers; you could even step into a trap and die instantly.

Tef drew the longsword from his back and used it as a cane as he followed the others inside.
