Chapter 216 -213: Putting Milk in My Tea — You’re Scheming Against Me! (First Update)
Aixin now regretted being seduced by the promise of ‘extra milk at no extra charge.’
She had thought the offer hinted at some underground or black-market channel that could introduce her to those divine spirits willing to recruit Magic Thieves.
For in Aixin’s mind, divine spirits considered Magic Thieves enemies that must be annihilated.
To the people of this world, Magic Thieves were heretics, disasters that had to be eradicated!
Regrettably, ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ had no such underground channel; she simply led Aixin directly to the carriage store, a place where divine spirits gathered.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
The only thing giving Aixin the courage to follow ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ now was her hood and veil, which concealed her face.
She wondered if, with this disguise, the divine spirits might not recognize her as a Magic Thief?
Aixin’s disguise was very successful, at least she considered it very successful, for almost none of the divine spirits who brushed past her took any notice.
Those divine spirits were busy treating the Magic Thief civilians who had passed out, and Aixin was able to safely walk by ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ to the side of the carriage store.
“Eh? You’ve turned into a yellow name? It’s probably because of the battlefield mission, and it happens to be just right,” said ‘extra milk at no extra charge.’
‘Extra milk at no extra charge’ gently set down the Magic Thief girl she was carrying into the temporary camp area of Cola Fanatic.
“Bubbles will grow! I’ve brought you the good stuff you wanted,” ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ said, pointing to the unconscious Magic Thief girl on the ground.
“After a good wash, she seems to have a high value of attractiveness, so as per our previous agreement, one hundred Gold Coins?” Bubbles leaned close to ‘extra milk at no extra charge.’
The eight major guilds were now competing for the NPCs on the third level, and if you could rescue a Magic Thief civilian and take it to Miss Cat to claim a reward, you could exchange it for one to three Cat Gratitude Coupons.
This Gratitude Coupon was no trivial matter! It could be exchanged for the same model of cat mask that Miss Cat owns!
The rarity of the cat mask has now far exceeded that of the rainbow unicorn mask, becoming the most rare attire among divine spirits.
“Hmm… although this NPC hasn’t been appraised yet, by my observation, it’s at least SR-grade, so how about another fifty Gold Coins?”
Having collaborated once with Bubbles, ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ was smooth at the process by now. Bubbles had been keeping an eye on ‘extra milk at no extra charge,’ lurking in the Magic Thief relics, several days ago, and he had tasked her with seducing and kidnapping new NPCs, to sell to him first and foremost.
“For this young lady’s looks… alright then,” Bubbles said, directly taking out a small bag of Gold Coins from his backpack to give to ‘extra milk at no extra charge.’
This was a method far quicker than using the trade window.
“Thanks a lot.”
‘Extra milk at no extra charge’ felt the weight of the money bag in her hand and couldn’t help but smile at the amount within.
‘Extra milk at no extra charge’ was smiling… but Aixin behind her had her eyebrows furrowed so tightly they were nearly twisted together.
Hold back! You must hold back!
Aixin swept her gaze under her hood across the surroundings and paused momentarily on Bubbles.
There in the temporary camp of Cola Fanatic were her five compatriots lying down. From ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ and Bubbles’ exchange, this was clearly slave trading!
But she had to restrain herself now, even if it meant watching her compatriots being sold as slaves right before her eyes. To fulfill her teacher’s request, she had to blend in with these divine spirits.
“That NPC behind you, is she for sale?” Bubbles noticed Aixin’s murderous gaze. He did not feel Aixin’s murderous intent but saw that her level was as high as fifty.
At this stage, the levels of NPCs players had rescued from the ruins ranged from ten to thirty, with almost none above forty.
When Bubbles inquired about it, Aixin was so nervous she almost drew her Longsword to dispatch Bubbles on the spot… but ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ stepped in front of Aixin first.
“She’s not for sale…” Before ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ could explain further, Bubbles was called away by his secretary, Xue Bi.
“Should I go back into the fire to carry out one or two more? Never mind, just follow me.”
‘Extra milk at no extra charge’ glanced over at the small town set ablaze in the distance, but ultimately decided to sell Aixin first before anything else.
“Where to next?” Aixin asked ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ in a low voice, suppressing her own rage. She was confident in her ability to escape, which was why she had followed ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ deep into the divine spirits’ territory.
Now, ‘extra milk at no extra charge’ was leading her aimlessly around the camp, as if looking for something.
Ultimately, Milk No Sugar settled for a location some distance from the carriage shop, in a very open and empty space.
“Is your informant here?” Aixin asked Milk No Sugar in a lowered voice.
“Informant? What’s that? There doesn’t seem to be a guild occupying this place; let’s start here,” Milk No Sugar didn’t understand what Aixin meant.
“It’s someone who is willing to hire the Magic Thief,” Aixin said.
“Everyone is willing to hire you, they’re even fighting to do it.”
“No! What I mean is…” Aixin actually harbored an unrealistic fantasy, one where there might be spirits who didn’t treat the Magic Thief as a slave, but this fantasy was quickly shattered by Milk No Sugar’s shouting.
“Come and see, come and see! A newly listed SSR-level NPC! Whoever wins can take her home! Twenty Gold Coins for a challenge! It’s a bargain!”
Milk No Sugar turned her voice volume to the maximum and started shouting, while using a tool called ‘Megaphone’ to flood the world channel with messages.
“…”
Aixin was dumbfounded… She placed her hand on her sword, her first instinct was to go up and cover Milk No Sugar’s mouth.
“What are you doing!” Aixin pressed her sword blade to Milk No Sugar’s neck and demanded.
“I’m helping you find an employer,” said Milk No Sugar, prying Aixin’s hand away from her neck. She wore plate armor, so Aixin’s sword couldn’t kill her in one blow.
“You… shouldn’t you… find them secretly?” Aixin tried to organize her words; she didn’t know how to properly describe her method of finding the right employer.
But it was already too late, the surrounding spirits were all drawn over by Milk No Sugar’s call.
Aixin’s Longsword was already unsheathed, and she was ready to break through the spirits’ line of defense and make a run for it.
What surprised Aixin was that the encircling spirits didn’t attack her, and didn’t even seem to intend to…
“Milk No Sugar, is it true that if we win, we can take her home?”
“Eh? Is there a martial contest for marriage quest too? … Host! Does that NPC follow your orders?”
“Absolutely, whoever wins can take her home.” Milk No Sugar said while elbowing Aixin gently on the side, “Right?”
Right… what? What on earth are you talking about?
Aixin, seeing more and more spirits gathering around, visualized countless escape routes in her mind, yet none of those spirits made a move to attack her.
Was her disguise really that successful? It hadn’t been seen through yet.
“You wanted to find a strong employer, right? This is your chance. Plus, you really hate these spirits, don’t you? Now you can cut them down openly, and it’s a duel no less!”
Those spirits will even pay you to let you cut them, Milk No Sugar added in her mind.
Upon thinking it over carefully, Aixin realized that might actually be the case. She drew the dagger given to her by her instructor, holding the sword in one hand and the dagger in the other… and lightly nodded her head.
“An elite NPC with a level as high as fifty is now just for twenty Gold Coins! Assured SSR quality, both the character design and the portrait are extremely attractive! A seventeen-year-old beauty! Only twenty Gold Coins!” Milk No Sugar continued shouting nearby, most of which Aixin didn’t understand.
However, Aixin felt a wave of indescribable shame welling up in her.
“Aixin, you wouldn’t accept me and now you’re here for a martial marriage contest? My heart is truly broken,” a sudden voice gave Aixin a chill, as Xue Bi emerged from the crowd, clearly in full thespian mode.
“Great King, defeat this girl and make her our chief’s wife, fair and square,” someone shouted.
“It seems there’s no other choice,” Xue Bi stepped out of the crowd and looked at Aixin. “Miss Aixin, after I win, I’ll ensure you properly understand what social insurances and housing fund are, right in the bridal chamber!”
“…”
At that moment, Aixin felt like slashing Xue Bi with her sword, but she patiently waited until Milk No Sugar approached Xue Bi and said, “Kidnapping the bride costs twenty– no, twenty Gold Coins each time, thank you.”
Xue Bi traded one hundred Gold Coins to Milk No Sugar… and then activated Blood Rampage!
