Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

After saying that, Renee's battle aura erupted violently. She reached behind her back with one hand and pulled out a two-handed greatsword that was almost as long as her height. Then she got into position, took a few deep breaths, and made the final preparations before launching an attack...

Wang Kai finally showed a look of surprise. It wasn't because of the adorable contrast between the petite girl and the giant two-handed sword in front of him, nor because she possessed such strong fighting spirit despite her small stature. Rather, it was because she must have used a magic stone ring or something similar to "detect" him.

In the basic settings of this game world, are skill attributes only visible to the player themselves? Or are there shameless magical items that can spy on other people's attributes and privacy?

"Wait, can I ask one last question before we start?"

"Go ahead and ask, 'newbie' adventurer! No, 'dungeon hunter'!"

"You used that ring that looks like a 'detection spell' just now, right? Since you already know that my class is 'newbie' and my level is something, why are you still preparing for this battle so seriously?"

"You mean this 'Assessment Ring'? Hmph, it seems you really are a newbie. The 'Assessment Ring' is a 'control tool' bestowed by the Empire upon S-rank adventurer guilds for recruiting members. Before recruiting, it can be used to detect an adventurer's level, class, and whether they have a criminal record. After all, high-level adventurer guilds have many members, and it would be troublesome if some bandits, brigands, or even criminals infiltrated... Alright, have you finished asking your questions? Now, whether you like it or not, if you don't seriously block my next attack, you'll die..."

"Then, can it detect other people's names, ages, skills, attributes, birthplaces, bloodlines and origins, as well as more private information such as height, weight, and body measurements?"

"You...shut up, take this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Renee's body seemed to vanish from the spot with a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared to Wang Kai's side. What followed was a sweeping attack without any hesitation. With a fierce gust of wind, it seemed that only an afterimage was struck...

"Pretty fast. You're a wind magic-based warrior like me, right? No wonder you managed to escape unscathed from under the noses of so many experts in our adventure party. Am I right, 'Dungeon Headhunter'? Now we'll get serious. Let me remind you, just dodging won't do you any good!"

"Wait!" Wang Kai, who had stepped aside, scratched his head and, after thinking for a few seconds, replied with a smile, "Sorry, that question was a bit naive. Judging from the fact that you're still calling me 'Dungeon Hunter' and still insisting on sparring, 'Examining the Ring' can only detect an adventurer's level, class, and criminal record. After all, those few things are enough to recruit members... Alright, I'm relieved. Also, thanks for the reminder!"

"What's there to be relieved about? Is there anything else you'd like to thank... or remind me of?"

"Thank you for mentioning that I was able to escape unscathed right under the noses of so many experts in your adventurer group. In that case, it's the dead of night, and there's absolutely no need for me to fight and disturb the peace here. Do you think I, with two legs, don't know how to run away? Bye-bye... Miss Vice-Captain!"

After saying that, Wang Kai dashed off into the depths of the alley. Renee was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. Her face flushed red, her brows furrowed, and she shouted as she chased after him...

"You coward, stop right there... You bastard!"

Having shaken off the seemingly troublesome "interceptors," Wang Kai intended to escape this underground black market. However, he forgot that this was his first time here, and he was not only unfamiliar with the roads, but he had absolutely no recollection of them. He didn't even know which path he had taken to get in. At this moment, he could only run around like a headless fly, turning back and starting over whenever he encountered a dead end. Because in the maze, as long as you follow one side, you will eventually reach the exit.

Of course, this was just an ideal escape route. Wang Kai, slightly smug, had already forgotten that he had just been targeted by an adventurer who was among the "world's top 100" and had a particularly stubborn personality.

For hunters to catch their prey, speed is not the only factor; they can use tactics, terrain, and even other unconventional methods to hunt...

Just as Wang Kai inadvertently wandered into a dead end surrounded by three high walls and was about to turn around and find another way, an atmosphere that had been brewing there for a long time suddenly burst forth.

Faced with the immense pressure, Wang Kai had no choice but to dodge backward, nearly slamming his back against the wall. After a cloud of dust settled, Renee stood like a car stop at the parking lot entrance, feet slightly apart, waist and hips in perfect harmony, hands gripping the hilt of her sword, glaring ahead with an attitude of "If you want to pass through here, I'll cut off your limbs and bleed, or I'll shave off a few pieces of flesh"...

Seeing this, Wang Kai's heart skipped a beat. Although he had killed countless monsters in the past two or three months, including thousands of BOSS-level monsters, according to the "game mindset," even if there were restricted scenes like "flesh and blood flying everywhere," he wouldn't have too much of a psychological burden as long as he got used to it.

But the "enemy" they were facing now was a living, breathing person; they couldn't possibly fight like they were fighting a monster. Judging from the current situation, they wouldn't be able to escape without taking things seriously. Judging from the atmosphere, their opponent seemed to have escalated what was originally a "sparring match" into a "life-or-death struggle"...

"What should I do? I came to this city all alone, and my original intention was really just to quietly complete the rest of my 'retirement,' level up a little bit, and then leave. Why is this incredibly stubborn female warrior holding onto these unintentional mistakes I made?"

"You're supposed to be the second-in-command of that S-rank adventurer's party, what was it called again? You only got robbed of boss loot a few dozen times. I at least kept all the other loot for you guys (I didn't want to pick it up because it took up too much weight). All things considered, you didn't lose out. Why did you have to spend money to set a trap and intercept a perfectly upright newbie adventurer like me? Is it even worth discussing whether that money was wasted?"

A torrent of complaints ran through Wang Kai's mind, but he dared not utter a single word. He felt that if he did, the "life-or-death struggle" might escalate further. Helpless, he could only sigh and ponder a way to escape while also getting his opponent to give up the interception...

"Making no attempt to conceal your footsteps in the dead of night, there's no point in running now, are there? Draw your weapons and fight to your heart's content..."

"Yes, you're right. Running around late at night is a form of disturbance. It seems I'll have to 'walk' from now on, and I'll walk out right in front of you. If you want to stop me, go ahead..."

After speaking, Wang Kai took a deep breath, placed his hands calmly on his sides, and started walking slowly forward, step by step, just like when he was taking a walk.

Seeing this, Renee's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. The other party walked straight towards her like an ordinary passerby taking a stroll, completely unguarded. This was an unexpected turn of events.

Despite her confusion, Renee maintained her fighting stance without changing a bit, desperately trying to figure out what to do. Should she just go for it with a single sword strike? Her opponent was empty-handed, and she couldn't detect anything unusual about him. There were no third parties lying in ambush nearby. What on earth was this guy up to...?

"As the vice-leader of an S-rank adventurer's party, and as one of the party's top combatants, I have never backed down from any dungeon monster. Even when facing a boss ten times larger, I am always the first to charge ahead and inflict damage on the enemy..."

Furthermore, everyone in the adventure group respected me immensely. Even the tall, middle-aged adventurers would bow respectfully to me when they met me…

Furthermore, as one of the fewer than a hundred A-rank adventurers on the entire continent, I am still a little bit away from S-rank, but even so, I can hold my own against the paladins in the Empire's elite forces...

But I just can't figure out anything about this person's behavior and actions. And the most crucial point is that, at this point, we still can't estimate our chances of winning.

Just as a long string of thoughts flashed through Renee's mind, in the blink of an eye, Wang Kai had already leisurely walked up to her, only a step or two away from "brushing past" her. In that instant, her stubborn pride made her understand everything; he had managed to dodge that move before, and now she absolutely wouldn't allow it to happen a second time…

After thinking for a moment, Renee shouted and, while adjusting her posture, swung her greatsword with both hands and swept it powerfully toward her side once again!

"I told you, if you don't want to die, then make your move!"
