New Century Warriors

Chapter 49 Correcting a Girl's Inability to Say No!

Lei Ye genuinely felt sorry for her.

This guy is an idiot.

She wasn't as stupid as Loya, just clumsy and bad at saying no.

Because her father had instructed her to take good care of the miners before he died, she foolishly sold her family property to pay compensation to the miners' relatives.

Because he was destitute, he was picked up by a passing circus and fed two pieces of bread. He then took the initiative to work for them, using his skills that allowed him to thrive as an explorer in the guild to perform. As a result, he was targeted and signed into a strange labor contract, where he was treated like cattle and his labor was exploited.

Because someone was willing to rescue her, she wanted to join that person's team as a way of repaying them. Although she later found it a bit strange that the guy wanted to recognize her as his mother, she agreed without thinking too much about it.

It's about what happened on Line 1. Looking back now, Lei Ye was actually exploiting Anlaxi on Line 1. Every time they went on an adventure, he would make her monsters clear the way. Perhaps it wasn't just because her skills were useful, but also because he knew that Anlaxi would never refuse.

However, considering the certification requirements for "Mommy Coin" mentioned by Ye Lei.

Her refusal to refuse herself and her refusal to refuse others seem to be somewhat different.

Thinking of this, Lei Ye couldn't help but snatch the paper and pen and add a few more words.

Then show it to Anrahi.

You're overdoing it; think more about yourself.

Only then did Anlaxi's expression recover from its previous distorted look. She grabbed the notebook from Lei Ye's hand and looked at the words on it, her expression becoming even more distorted.

"...It's been so many years since anyone cared about me like this. I'm so touched, even though I'm just a goblin..."

She scratched her head. "But my summoned creature should be like a puppet, without any thoughts. You can actually write? So you do have your own thoughts, right?"

Lei Ye hesitated for a moment, nodded, but then grabbed the banknote and wrote a few words.

I am special.

"Wow, you can actually understand me!"

Lei Ye was taken aback by these words, then smiled wryly. He knew he had made a small mistake. Of course, a normal goblin could not understand human speech, but Lei Ye was afraid that she would suspect that his skills had been upgraded and that he would randomly summon a new monster to experiment on. If that happened, all his guidance tonight would be wasted, so he wrote it to her like this.

But it doesn't matter. Sen Zhihe's teammates are all trustworthy. Except for Loya, there are no idiots who would mess things up for no reason. After discovering the magical changes in his skills, Anlashi won't go around showing off immediately, so it won't affect Lei Ye's assassination plan.

Just as Lei Ye had predicted, she was excited for a long time before calming down and stroking her chin, thinking about all sorts of things.

Lei Ye didn't want to tell her that he was actually an accident and disappoint her, nor did he want her to continue thinking about it here, so he could only continue writing.

Let's turn off the lights and get some rest today. We can talk about everything tomorrow.

Upon seeing these words, Anlashi's expression turned touching for a moment, but she still shook her head.

"No, the audience is already tired of the current performances, isn't they? It's rare for me to have such an excellent subordinate like you, how can I not think of coming up with something new? By the way, can you talk? Come on," Lei Ye sighed and opened his mouth to play along with her nonsense.

"...ga"... Ah, goblins certainly can't speak, not even a single word, and the syllables they utter are very strange, causing Anrashi to frown.

"It doesn't sound good. I was thinking of asking you to sing some little tunes like a bard."

"I can't sing," Lei Ye shook his head violently.

He does know a bit about the bard's lute, but just because he knows it doesn't mean other summoned monsters can do it too. At least he needs to know something that other summoned monsters can do, otherwise it's pointless.

For example...

Lei Ye suddenly crouched down, exerted his strength, and did a backflip on the spot—ignore it!

Something like this is fine. After the event ends, these kinds of small tasks can become a regular feature of Anrashi's monster-summoning activities.

In fact, this was something he wanted to see on Line 1, so he had Anlashi show it to him. Lei Ye had also asked to see a goblin hang itself, but Anlashi couldn't bear to harm the summoned monsters under his command, so he stopped.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Anlashi's eyes lit up as she clapped her hands, snatched the paper and pen, and wrote the words "somersault" on it. "Anything else? Anything else?"

Some brothers.

Because the dance that Anlashi taught for summoning monsters was too mysterious, Raino could hardly bear to watch it and his dancing was no good.

So he taught Anlashi some suggestive little dances, and then had her teach them to his summoned monsters.

Making goblins perform suggestive dances seemed a bit cringe-worthy to Lei Ye, but some people just love novelty; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many of them in Lei Ye's group chat back then.

In addition, Anlashi on Line 1 did indeed command his summoned monsters to provide assistance at any time.

This wasn't because Lei Ye wanted to see it; it was because Anlashi discovered one day that monster bodily fluids could be sold for money in the dark alleys of Shillius—any bodily fluid.

After that, he couldn't stop. He would summon two monsters whenever he had a spare moment and have them sell them.

...Let's forget about Line 2, it's still pretty outrageous. Anyway, he's rich, he'll give Anlashi some money later, hoping to reduce the city's corruption of her.

So Lei Ye shook his head and continued writing in his notebook, "We can talk about it tomorrow. You seem very tired. You should go to sleep now."

"I'm not too tired, but my magic power is quite depleted. However, I feel much better today because of that potion you gave me. Thank you! Sleep? Why sleep so late at night? Come on, come with me."

As she spoke, Anlaxi put on her coat and pulled Lei Ye outside.

The streetlights in Hillius are always on, and for some explorers, the nightlife is just beginning.

However, Lei Ye didn't think Anlashi would have any nightlife. Sleep is the most convenient and cheapest way to recover magic power. He didn't know why he was dragged out here. Lei Ye had important things to do tonight.

"Isn't that Master Allah?"

Not long after I stepped onto the street, a small business owner dressed in fancy clothes came up to me and started a conversation.

"Who are you?" Anlaxi, who was stopped in his way, was taken aback.

"You...you don't remember me? We just met last night. It's like this, I really enjoyed your performance last night, and I'm especially looking forward to seeing it again tonight. Especially since you summoned such a powerful monster as the Goblin King, I'm even more excited. Could you please do me the honor of visiting my home again?"

Lei Ye glanced sideways at the small business owner and recognized him; this was the only guy in the city who hadn't finished repairing his house yet.

"What happened yesterday wasn't really a performance, was it? I was just passing by when you dragged me along to help... Besides, I have to do special training today, so I don't have time."

"Please do me the honor of joining me! I'm a huge fan, really, it won't take up too much of your time!"

"Fans, huh... uh..."

Lei Ye immediately saw that she was making the same mistake of not being good at saying no, so he quickly wrote something down and held the notebook up to her face.

Let me explain the situation.

"What's with this domineering tone? It's just a summoned monster... Well, last night I wasn't feeling well and wanted to go out for a walk, but I saw this person repairing his broken roof. He looked so tired. I figured I had nothing else to do, so I sent my goblin to help."

"Master Allah, who are you talking to... Anyway, please! Please let this strong Goblin King help you again. Your skills are really good. It's just a few goblins, but you've made them show professional-level craftsmanship. The repaired parts look even more impressive than before. I'm really looking forward to your performance tonight. Please do me the honor. I'll even treat you to a midnight snack."

That wasn't actually the work of a goblin, but of Anrahi. The reason the repaired parts look more impressive than before is probably because the daughter of the former mine owner was working on it based on her old house.

"What? It's supposed to be a midnight snack, but it's just rice porridge with vegetable soup. And yesterday you kept saying you'd cook a little longer, a little longer, but by the time you got back to bed it was already so late. I really don't have time today, at least another day..."

"Master Allah, how can you bear to see your followers sleeping in houses without roofs?"

"Uh, uh..."

Anlashi became distressed and conflicted, and his attitude clearly softened.

It's unbearable to look at.

Lei Ye waved his hand to block Anlaxi and gave a low shout.

"6

"Gugugaga! Let's go get a big portion!"

'

ah..."

In his haste, he forgot that he couldn't speak, so he quickly wrote something and shoved it at Anlashi's face.

Refuse it quickly; this person is clearly trying to take advantage of your labor.

"But he said he's a fan of mine. If we don't fix the roof, he'll have to sleep in a drafty room again tonight. Wouldn't that be pitiful?"

Speechless. I can't continue this conversation with you. You have a typical "cow-horse" mentality.

Lei Ye abandoned Anlaxi's side, turned around and walked to the small boss, sticking the notebook in his face.

"How can you be so selfish! Get out!"

The boss's expression immediately darkened.

He turned sideways to avoid Lei Ye and looked at Anlaxi.

"Master Allah, what do you mean by this?"

"Go to hell! You think you can't understand me when I give you face? Haven't I been giving you face enough?!"

Lei Ye put down his pen and paper and punched the small business owner in the nose, making his nose crooked.

Clutching his bleeding nose, the small business owner staggered backward, his face filled with terror.

"Master! Don't hit me... Why are you suddenly hitting me?"

"Ah, no, I didn't..." Anlashi was also terrified.

As expected, it was assumed that his behavior was controlled by Anrahi and represented Anrahi's actions. Anrahi's hesitant manner seemed to indicate that he wanted to explain but did not want to reveal the matter of this strange goblin king.

Lei Ye had a sudden inspiration. He silently stood next to Anlaxi, stood at attention, and pretended to be in a daze.

Suddenly, he adopted an attack stance and strode towards the small business owner.

"I'm so hungry... no way!"

The small business owner immediately ran away.

Next time I encounter something like this, I'll just refuse.

Anlaxi ignored Lei Ye's swaying notebook and slumped to the ground with her head down.

"Oh no... I'm doomed. Will that guy stop following me? Will he report me to law enforcement? If this gets out, my job is over..."

Isn't that a good thing?

Just as Lei Ye was preparing to teach Anlaxi a lesson, just like in the first playthrough, another scene-stealing passerby appeared.

"Master Anrahi! What are you doing here!" He rushed over and helped Anrahi up.

"And who are you? Oh, you're... you're the one from the daytime...?"

"What do you mean by 'daytime'? I am your disciple, Master Allah!"

Lei Ye was stunned. Who was this person?

"I remember now... It's that guy who kept pestering me to teach you how to carve during the day, right? I already told you that's not something I'm good at. I just casually carved a flower based on the pattern on the roof beam of my old house."

"It was that carving that confirmed my appreciation for your skill, Master Anrashi. When I asked you for guidance during the day, you seemed a little impatient, didn't you? I noticed. But I genuinely want to learn from you. Please give me a chance! I'm your fan, Master Anrashi!"

"Another fan? Sigh... There's nothing I can do, it can only be for a little while."

I can't bear to look! I can't bear to look!

Lei Ye instantly appeared in front of the passerby and put up his notebook.

"If you won't teach, get out!"

"This?! Master Allah?"

Don't look over there! Look me straight in the eye, you little brat! I'm too embarrassed to tell you this to your face, so I'm telling you this way: I'm not teaching you, get out! If you don't leave, I'll punch you in the face with my super green fist!

Seeing the goblin king's fierce expression and the posture that seemed ready to pounce at any moment, the young man screamed in fright and turned to run away.

Having resolved the trouble here, Lei Ye turned around and began to lecture the guy who was squatting down with his head in his hands, looking distressed.

At this moment, a third passerby ran over.

No, this is never going to end, is it?

Not long after he came out, people kept running over to cause trouble, which annoyed Lei Ye. He stretched his arms, preparing to deliver a ruthless blow, but when he saw this passerby, he was slightly taken aback.

Loya?

"I heard a noise over here so I came to check. I didn't expect it to be you, Master Anlashi... I wanted to chat with you this afternoon, but you said you didn't have time. Can we continue now? I have so many things to say, but I can't find anyone to talk to. The oppression from the guild, the discrimination from the nobles, the exclusion from my colleagues—I can't take it anymore. I'm so sad..."

"Are you... that elf next door? I'm sorry, I'm a little unavailable right now."

"Please, this is really important to me."

"But I really can't, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise..." As she spoke, Anlaxi glanced at Lei Ye with some unease, as if afraid that he would suddenly start threatening Loya again.

But Lei Ye had no such intention. He was actually at a loss when he saw the tearful Luo Ya, especially after hearing Luo Ya's next tearful complaint.

"I understand you don't want to hear my complaints, but at least listen to my relationship counseling and tell me what I should do now. My boyfriend... his name is Lei Ye, he's the richest man in this city, he's abusive... and said a lot of very, very cruel things, which I can forgive him for. But, but! This guy is cheating on me, he wants to date his own maid!"
