Yama Reborn-Chapter 575 - 572: The Humanized Octopus Monster

Chapter 572: [Humanized Octopus Monster]

Chen Nuo looked behind the Octopus Monster and found no one had followed.

"Where are the Wizards?"

The Octopus Monster had already sat down, looking at the food on the table, he slowly said, "Mr. Wizard went to handle some things with Nolan," then paused, and nodded at Lu Xixi, saying, "Empress, it’s been a while, still as beautiful as ever."

Lu Xixi nodded to the Octopus Monster, thought for a moment, picked up an empty bowl, and served this guy a bowl of bean sprout soup.

Kamisou Ichiro, with the standard posture of Neon People, took it with both hands, and very politely nodded: "Then I will not be polite!"

After lightly sipping a spoonful of soup, Kamisou Ichiro squinted with a smile: "Very delicious."

Chen Nuo looked at this guy and grinned: "I’ve always been curious why you always like to imitate the appearance of Neon People."

"Because it’s interesting." Kamisou Ichiro raised his head: "I’ve observed all human races, each race has its own characteristics, and the characteristics of Neon People are the most interesting to me in the past hundreds of years."

"What’s interesting about it?"

Kamisou Ichiro laughed: "They are extremely courteous in small matters and utterly shameless in big ones. While desperately preaching so-called etiquette, they also engage in shameless deeds without restraint—this contrast is very interesting."

Chen Nuo nodded: "Just taking both the extremes of being courteous and shameless, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen Nuo’s summary is very interesting."

Chen Nuo looked at Kamisou Ichiro: "Have you ever played other human races?"

"I’ve basically played them all." Kamisou Ichiro smiled: "You’re asking if I’ve played Huaxia people, right?"

"..." Chen Nuo glanced at this guy and shook his head: "Forget it, suddenly don’t want to ask."

"Are you afraid that I’ve played Huaxia people and once became a significant figure in your history? Worried that the admiration for historically famous figures would be shattered with me?"

"Yes."

"Then rest assured, all the human figures I played would never allow myself to become prominent in the eyes of the mundane."

Kamisou Ichiro took a bite of bean sprout and praised: "Crunchy. Being able to eat such fresh bean sprouts in this African place, it must be said, the talent of you Huaxia people is really amazing.

Moreover, bean sprouts are also a great invention among human foods."

Kamisou Ichiro ate while expressing: "During the human maritime era, long-term sailors, unable to eat foods containing vitamins, suffered from scurvy, so during the maritime era, sailors could only bring vegetables or fruits that could be preserved for a long time, like oranges.

Later, because of the presence of bean sprouts, they completely replaced the original methods. Sailors no longer need to eat shriveled or moldy preserved oranges, they can use bean sprouts filled with vitamins for supplementation — it must be said, the advancement of the human maritime era owes a considerable deal of credit to these small bean sprouts."

Chen Nuo looked a bit weird: "So, you, as a Seed, are teaching us humans the history of humans?"

"Just a witness’s little sentiment," Kamisou Ichiro smiled slightly.

At this point, Kamisou Ichiro had finished the bowl of bean sprout soup cleanly and put down the bowls and chopsticks.

He slowly wiped his mouth and looked at the three human Controllers in front of him and said: "I came to notify you all of good news—the temporary vacation plan for the three of you might be extended a bit."

Son of the Sun glanced at Chen Nuo.

As Chen Nuo guessed yesterday, the search team continues to face attacks, and the search operations have been suspended. The Octopus Monster has to clean up these troubles collectively.

"Vacation extension is always good news, but vacationing in such places isn’t really fun either," Chen Nuo curled his lips.

"The scenery here..." Kamisou Ichiro just said, and then laughed to himself, "Right, after staying in the jungle for ten days, this scenery is boring.

But rest assured, you’re here because of my commission, I will certainly provide everyone with more comfortable living conditions, so tomorrow a large batch of supplies will be transported here."

Chen Nuo’s eyes lit up: "You plan to make a big move here?"

"Just clearing some mosquitoes," Kamisou Ichiro laughed, "I didn’t expect the opponent to use such mundane flies to obstruct my actions, but it can prove that the place we are searching is right, causing the opponent’s resistance."

Son of the Sun asked: "Is it that guard?"

Kamisou Ichiro thought for a moment: "It should be, I suspect that the Fourth Seed used this guard, mostly a native here, and that the native got transcendent abilities with the help of the Fourth Seed, managing to integrate these scattered small forces to trouble us.

However, once you take this problem seriously, it will be cleared quickly."

Chen Nuo looked at Kamisou Ichiro: "So have you found the guard’s whereabouts?"

"No." Kamisou Ichiro shook his head: "Even for Seed, searching a few tens of thousands of square kilometers area, finding a human Controller hiding with all intentions in such a vast region, is very difficult.

But I naturally have my way."

Saying this, Kamisou Ichiro took out three devices about the size of a cellphone. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"These are three tracking devices, others are in Nolan, Wizard, and Diamond Queen’s hands. They will be responsible for this frontline operation, as bait.

Once that guard shows up, they will intervene in the battle immediately and try to hold that guy off.

Then, they will press the locator device, and as soon as you receive the signal, you need to rush to the coordinates to join the battle.

This request shouldn’t be too much, right?"

Chen Nuo looked at the three instruments and nodded: "Not too much... it’s much more comfortable to wait here while on vacation than feeding mosquitoes in the jungle."

Kamisou Ichiro stood up, smiling: "Alright, everyone, thank you very much for the hospitality, the dinner was delicious.

Now that the matters are discussed, I will take my leave. In the coming days, I hope you can enjoy this vacation.

Of course, also keep an eye on the signals from the devices I left."

Kamisou Ichiro stepped back and slightly bowed to the three—a standard bow of the Neon people.

Then, he casually walked out of the restaurant and left.

After a moment of silence in the restaurant, the Son of the Sun looked at the three devices on the table, frowned, and said: "It seems..."

"There’s nothing to speculate about," Chen Nuo slowly said, "This guy is full of deceitful plans. Rather than worry about other things, worry about the Wizards."

Lu Xixi slowly said: "The first point of concern, three Controllers, dealing with one ’guard,’ and we still need reinforcement?

The second point of concern, if the Octopus Monster takes action personally, dealing with a guard is not a problem at all."

"That’s why I keep saying, there are too many people, we don’t need so many at all." Chen Nuo sighed.

The Son of the Sun paused, looking deeply at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo turned to Lu Xixi: "By the way, when you returned, was Lillian still at your team’s camp?"

Lu Xixi smiled: "That woman doesn’t get along with me, so it’s impossible to travel together. I simply left our team for her to manage."

Chen Nuo suddenly changed his tone: "To deal with one guard, of course, not so many people are needed—six Controllers plus a Seed, to handle an opponent only at Controller level, obviously too many people.

But...

Even against the Fourth Seed, isn’t it too many people?

To deal with a Seed, do we need a Seed + six Controllers?"

Chen Nuo had another thought: Moreover, Lu Xixi’s strength has grown to the point where in a short time, she can evenly match with a Seed—the only disadvantage being the inability to sustain combat due to the Life Level.

So, our side’s lineup equals:

One Seed + one Half-step Seed + five human Controllers.

Isn’t this too much?

·

No matter what the Octopus Monster’s plan is, at least, the large amount of supplies he promised was indeed transported the next day.

Four heavy transport planes, a team of heavy trucks on the ground, and a mercenary corps of three hundred people.

Such a large force arrived in this small town, causing a huge disturbance in the town.

But the mercenary corps quickly controlled the scene.

This town’s government agencies were temporarily taken over.

Clearly, the Octopus Monster again showed a glimpse of his profound influence.

In this era, the national power of the Eastern Great Country had not yet risen. In Africa, M Country was almost monopolistic here.

After the Mercenary Army brought a set of documents from the puppet government of this region’s nation, this town’s government did not resist at all and relinquished control.

Even the plump black mayor politely brought his seven or eight wives and vacated the town’s most luxurious building—the City Hall.

Although it was merely a five-story building, it was already the best local facility available.

Chen Nuo heard that the mayor, with his family and guards, had already left the area and went to the capital of this small nation.

It’s said that the Octopus Monster paid, booking a luxury hotel in the capital as the mayor’s temporary residence.

He also promised afterward that the mayor would gain ownership of several nearby mines.

More than fifty locals were mobilized, spending a day thoroughly cleaning the Mayor Mansion.

In the evening, the mercenary leader came to the hospital, inviting Chen Nuo and the others to relocate to the Mayor Mansion.

Before leaving, Chen Nuo and the others donated a batch of medical supplies to the International Hospital.

Of course, this was also covered by the Octopus Monster.

The living conditions at the Mayor Mansion are much better.

The people here don’t have much culture, and the architectural style is full of that kind of pseudo-European vibe, which looks quite odd.

Believing that their country produces gold, many decorations tend to use gold.

Door handles, lamps, etc., all look shiny and golden.

"It feels very luxurious." Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi sighed after visiting their bedroom.

The master bedroom is huge, originally belonging to the mayor.

All the furniture has been replaced with new ones; naturally, Chen Nuo was not inclined to sleep on the bed of the mayor who was even fatter than him with Lu Xixi.

However, what makes Lu Xixi very satisfied is...

There’s air conditioning here!

And 24-hour hot water supply.

The dormitory at the hospital also has hot water, but it’s time-limited, available for one hour each in the morning and evening,

which isn’t very convenient.

Hmm...

Although Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi are not people with a cleanliness obsession, they do care about hygiene and cleanliness.

Living together on this kind of vacation, couples occasionally do things they love to do - there’s no difficulty to understand, right?

For two people attentive to cleanliness, after doing such things, they habitually take a shower.

Thus, having time-limited hot water supply makes it somewhat inconvenient.

For example.

If the evening hot water supply is from eight to nine o’clock,

the couple must plan any activities to happen before eight o’clock.

They need to time it right so that there is hot water available for a shower afterward.

This arrangement feels a bit restrictive.

Originally, between lovers, such matters occur naturally when emotions are intense,

not like catching a train or going to work, timing it precisely to the minute for such activity.

It’s just too unromantic.

Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi both agreed that the Mayor Mansion’s 24-hour hot water supply is thoughtful and considerate.

As for the supplies sent by the Octopus Monster, Chen Nuo counted the list.

The Octopus Monster is true to its word.

Indeed, there was a box of hotpot base.

And to Chen Nuo’s surprise, there were even two boxes of bean sprouts.

·

On the first night staying in the Mayor Mansion, the dinner was hotpot.

A pack of beef tallow spicy hotpot base was thrown in, and the broth was a vegetable and mushroom clear soup.

Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi, along with the Son of the Sun sat at the mansion’s dining hall large table.

There were others nearby as well.

The four ability users from Chen Nuo’s group were also transferred here by the Octopus Monster.

Including that woman involved with the Son of the Sun.

Clearly...

The Octopus Monster is a little too considerate.

The beef and lamb rolls were freshly cut, and Chen Nuo specifically instructed the kitchen to cut a piece of lamb leg.

Then cut a plate of lamb tail.

Mushrooms were sliced.

Various vegetables, plus a bowl of bean sprouts.

Additionally, Chen Nuo also had them prepare fish balls from two fish fillets, smashed and formed.

Though still missing sesame paste...given the place, expecting more is unreasonable.

Moreover, there’s Lao Ganma.

A hotpot left Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi sweating but feeling very comfortable.

Plus, there were two hefty African chef women serving at the side.

Adding the meat and veggies, no need to do it themselves.

Just focus on grabbing to eat.

The Son of the Sun was the most impolite, almost ate two plates of sliced lamb leg all by himself. Chen Nuo immediately instructed the kitchen to cut some more.

Eating hotpot, drinking beer.

The only dissatisfaction was that the beer sent by the Octopus Monster was those rather expensive craft beers.

Hmm...

Having hotpot with this feels somewhat lacking.

Should be having those light draught beers or Brave the World instead.

·

When resting at night, Chen Nuo specially arranged for the Son of the Sun’s room to be at the end of the corridor, furthest from his own room.

After returning to the room, Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi chatted for a bit, then turned off the lights to rest.

In the morning, while it was still dark, some noises pulled Chen Nuo out of a dream.

He sat up from the bed, eyes clear, and Lu Xixi beside him was already frowning at the window.

Chen Nuo handed the blanket to Lu Xixi, covering his wife’s warm, smooth body, and hopped off the bed to the window to look outside.

In the darkness, a distant faint red glow seemed to be fire.

Along with faint thunder-like rumbling, and intermittent sounds like popping beans.

"Small caliber explosions, and automatic rifles firing." Lu Xixi shook her head: "Is there a war?"

"Should be, but...probably a war initiated by the Octopus Monster."

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "You can stay here and rest, I’ll go out and take a look."

Lu Xixi considered - such ordinary people conflicts wouldn’t pose any threat to Chen Nuo, so she nodded: "Alright, but if you plan to go out, you must tell me, I’ll go with you!"

"Okay."

Chen Nuo put on a coat and just walked out of the bedroom door, when he saw at the end of the corridor, the Son of the Sun had already walked out in pajamas with flip-flops, acting casually.

"Octopus Monster started a war?" the old man asked.

Chen Nuo glanced at him: "Didn’t he say he wants to clear up some trouble here."

The Son of the Sun nodded, then yawned: "That’s boring, I’ll go back and continue resting."

Chen Nuo ignored him and walked downstairs along the corridor.

There were mercenaries on guard at every level of the corridor.

When Chen Nuo reached the first-floor hall, he saw the mercenary Commander swiftly approaching with his team.

"Lord Yama." The mercenary Commander was a bearded man, seemingly having some Latin ancestry, burly, speaking English with a thick accent: "Rest assured, there was only a firepower skirmish fifteen kilometers away from us, it’s most likely our people executing a cleanup plan."

Chen Nuo nodded, then asked: "How much do you know about the cleanup plan?"

The mercenary leader smiled: "Sorry, my task is to guard this town, especially to protect the mansion; I don’t know much about the overall cleanup plan. But this time, we have deployed over two thousand troops, and these are not local ragtag bandits, but elite mercenaries summoned from other regions.

Also deployed were planes, tanks, and a lot of heavy firepower.

Such military operations can sweep this area clean."

Chen Nuo looked at him, intending to say something, but the other guy chimed in first: "Oh, and there’s something I need to specially report to you.

According to the company’s special instructions, I have dispatched thirty elite subordinates in the afternoon to the northwest direction of the river across to the mining site, to protect the Chinese labor gathering place, rest assured. So far, all is normal there, no danger."

Chen Nuo smiled.

The Octopus Monster is indeed considerate...
