Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

At this moment, who else but Wang Kai could step forward to mediate and speak in such a manner?

He originally didn't want to get involved in these things, just wanting to watch the show. But when he realized that the "drunken brawl" was escalating into a "life-or-death situation," some physically uncomfortable scenes were bound to appear, which would inevitably affect his mood. After all, he still had to experience the "DLC content" that night... so he had no choice but to step in.

Robert probably anticipated that a "stepping stone" would be offered. While dealing with the two bear brothers, he noticed that they had been watching coldly without making any moves. Their composure was quite impressive, and he guessed that they would choose the right moment to act as peacemakers. So, taking advantage of this "stepping stone," he withdrew from his fighting stance and said coldly.

"Very well, not all adventurers are hot-headed fools. In terms of ideology, although some of the nobles' ideas and ways of thinking are fundamentally different from yours, in terms of eliminating monsters and protecting the peace of the region, we actually do pretty much the same thing. Let's consider today a brief exchange between the two sides..."

"What sparring? If we hadn't gotten drunk today, we wouldn't have let you..."

"You mean, once you're sober, you'll continue somewhere else? Could that be considered as you submitting a 'duel challenge' to the nobles?"

"This……"

The two bear brothers finally chickened out. After swallowing hard, they slowly put down their weapons and shouted a few times in frustration.

It's like the bluffing roar an animal makes before retreating from an invincible beast.

Robert also removed his "armor," revealing his once-neat noble uniform now covered in mud and sand. His disheveled appearance caused him to frown, and he patted his shoulder. A wisp of dust accidentally got into his nostril, making him sneeze...

"Pfft~"

Wang Kai couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Robert glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't laugh at anything, I didn't laugh at anything at all, not even the long snot sticking to your chest when you snorted, pfft~"

"what!?"

Robert looked down and saw a long snot sticking to his collar from his nostril without his knowledge.

The indecent scene left Robert stunned for a few seconds. Amidst the laughter around him, he hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it off, but it was too late.

The two bear brothers next to them were extremely depressed. When they saw this "strange sight", they came to their senses and burst into loud laughter.

"Hey, big brother, look at that snot. What does it look like? Doesn't it look like the stinky liquid that oozed out and hung on the scorpion's head after its tail was cut off when we were fighting the scorpion monster in the wild yesterday?"

"Haha, it does look quite similar, but I think it looks more like some of the 'elephant-trunk slime monsters' in the dungeons that can only crawl on the ground. When they crawl, they flick their snot out and then pull their bodies over by the snot string. The twitching motion is so cute."

"Damn it, we finally reached a 'ceasefire agreement,' and then these two bears inexplicably reignited the flames. But to be honest, I've seen that 'elephant-trunk slime monster' that the brothers were talking about before when I was grinding monsters in the dungeon. It does have that kind of forward movement of swaying, swinging, and pulling. Combined with the scene I just witnessed with the noble guy in front of me... I can't take it anymore, the imagery is too vivid, I can't forget it even if I want to, and I can't stop smiling."

So, Wang Kai, this "amateur master of facial expression management," managed to force a smile that looked worse than crying, and Robert could only feel two words on that face... "sarcasm."

"A hybrid filth is a hybrid filth... You brat, sitting at the same table with filth, as a human, don't you find it disgusting?"

Hearing Robert's words, Wang Kai simply composed himself briefly, recalling how the Xiong brothers had come to the table and stared at the wine bottle earlier. His face returned to its original "unnatural smile," and he replied without thinking.

"What's so disgusting about it? A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend. Drinking alone is like drinking water, no matter how good the wine is. Only when you drink with your companions can you truly enjoy the wine and talk about your feelings. How can you, as a nobleman, not understand such a simple truth... Could it be that you not only have no companions, but you don't even have any friends?"

These words seemed to have stepped on a landmine deep within Robert's heart. He threw a cold look at him, and as his murderous aura emanated, the sand and gravel on the ground rose up again and gathered towards his right hand. Soon, a "stone fist" two or three times the size of a head formed, and then this fist was silently swung towards Wang Kai in front of him...

"Stop! Your Excellency, do you really want to tear down my bar?"

Suddenly, a roar carrying magical energy echoed throughout the bar, and Robert's massive "stone fist" stopped less than twenty centimeters from Wang Kai...

The scene changed so quickly that the onlookers didn't even have time to react before this punch, which was worthy of being the "grand finale," came to an abrupt end.

Robert snapped out of his daze, glanced at the figure appearing at the bar entrance, sighed, retracted his fighting stance, and turned to walk away...

"Lord Hani... I apologize, as a nobleman, I acted impulsively that I shouldn't have. Tell me, how should we resolve this?"

"Let me see!"

The old man who appeared out of nowhere—Hani—thought for a moment, then expressionlessly extended one finger.

"You lost 10 gold coins, right? Just send someone to my house to collect them. Excuse me!"

Hani nodded, signaling the soldiers at the door to make way. Robert walked out, seemingly glancing back at Wang Kai before leaving, and even appearing to grit his teeth.

After watching Robert leave, Hani turned to look in their direction. When their eyes met, Wang Kai paused for a moment, remembering the name of this person from the previous "game storyline." Wasn't this...?

Um, there are too many settings to describe at the moment.

Simply put, he is a character who plays a decisive role in various events in the early stages of the game, and most importantly, he is closely related to Zhang Lan's "disappearance"!

Putting aside his appearance, this white-haired old man looks to be at least sixty or seventy years old. His weathered face has few wrinkles, and his tightly closed lips under his mustache signify composure. His aquiline nose and pointed chin, typical of a shrewd businessman, also make him quite distinctive.

In addition, there was a specially made guild uniform, similar to a tuxedo, with a guild emblem on it that looked like I'd seen a few months ago, but I couldn't quite place it.

In the short moment of thought, Hani had already stopped two or three meters in front of Wang Kai. Although his face was expressionless, his tall and thin body still exuded a sense of pressure from a strong person. In particular, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Staring straight at him made one feel a little uneasy.

"Were you three the ones who had the altercation with the Viscount just now?"

Wang Kai nodded, and the Xiong brothers behind him nodded as well, perhaps because they had no choice but to lower their heads under the inexplicable pressure in the air.

Hani waved his hand, and fully armed soldiers rushed in from the bar entrance, blocking all the windows and entrances. After looking around at everyone, he continued.

"You all heard it, right? Each person will lose 10 gold coins! If you can't come up with that, then it will be dealt with the way I'm going to do it."

"Ah, 10 gold coins? Didn't that Robert guy just give you that?"

“I mean, 10 gold coins per person. The Viscount paid his share, so of course he can leave. As for you…”

What will happen if we can't pay?

Hani thought for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged, and he sighed deeply.

"Two methods. First: Sign a 'Debt Repayment Contract' with this chamber of commerce. The contract includes, but is not limited to, commercial investigations, adventure exploration, dungeon hunting, and obtaining specified items. If, during the debt repayment process, you are injured or disabled and unable to continue fulfilling the contract, you will automatically become a slave and continue to repay the debt to the best of your ability until the debt is paid off or you die. Second: Go and have a go with me, and I'll decide the terms!"

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, realizing that the other party was not joking. While his mind was racing, the two Xiong brothers behind him trembled all over, as if they were kittens or puppies seeing tigers and wolves. The "blood pressure" buried deep in their bones made them tremble.

"Brother, let's sign a contract. 20 gold coins is nothing compared to not going back to our hometown for a few years..."

"No, brother, you go back to take care of your parents and sisters. I'll pay back the 20 gold coins myself..."

Listening to the Xiong brothers whispering behind him, Wang Kai felt inexplicably irritated. In this world, it's all about strength, status, and even money. How come it's exactly the same as the world before? Are people who have "nothing" really looked down upon like this?

Signing a debt repayment contract and becoming a slave is disgusting; how can you sign a so-called "labor contract" with some ruthless capitalist corporations that is actually a "slave contract"?

Frustrated, Wang Kai acted impulsively, reaching into his waist pouch to pull out the remaining dozen or so gold coins. He placed them on the table beside him and said coldly.

"After deducting the debts of these two brothers, I will take on the rest myself. I choose option two; you decide on the details!"

After saying that he was the "most handsome and heroic" person in this other world, Wang Kai's eyes became even more determined. He planned to be a "single-player gamer" and wanted to develop a different style of game in the future. It wouldn't hurt for him to casually PK with various masters.

Even if I encounter a hero in the future, I must exchange a few blows with him, otherwise these past two months of leveling up will have been a waste...
