Night World Players

Chapter 42 A new warehouse manager has appeared
The two walked out of the psychometric room and passed through the stronghold made of steel.

Ishta walked in front, and Rast followed behind, watching the pair of golden ponytails rise and fall with the swaying of her waist.

Along the way, Last saw many figures who were also wearing the star-studded school emblem, but after seeing Istar, these people all showed awe and chose to take a detour.

This made Rast look at Istar a few more times. The sunlight fell on her fair and delicate face. The hem of her beige windbreaker fluttered in the wind, and she really looked like an interrogator.

It seems that Ishtar, the psychotrooper, has considerable prestige in Star University.

Of course, it may not be prestige, but notoriety.

Last noticed that among the people coming and going, many were carrying large and small goods, just like the demolition teams in his memories of his previous life.

Ishtar noticed Luster's gaze: "They are preparing to evacuate."

"Evacuate?"

"Yes." Ishtar nodded: "Whenever a new entrance to the Night World opens within the country, the people of the Ashes Court will rush to the scene under the leadership of one of the twelve seats of the Round Table."

"The latter will explore the unknown remnants of the night, while the people of the Ash Court will establish a strategy base around the entrance passage."

"After all, every new entrance to the night world means that a lost piece of history has been revealed..."

It seemed that after becoming familiar with Rast, she had let down her previous vigilance. Ishtar took out a bag of bear biscuits from her arms and began to eat them with relish.

"From the initial pioneering stage with a very high mortality rate to the mid-term large-scale exploration stage."

"Even after the "Reverberation of Disaster" appeared, the academy convened a strategy group meeting with the twelve seats at the round table to discuss the strategy plan."

"The complete walkthrough of each Night World Reverberation is a long and protracted tug-of-war... It could take a few months at the fastest, or even years or even decades at the slowest."

"Therefore, it is necessary to establish a frontline stronghold around the passage, and Vice President Hiltina is one of the twelve seats at the round table responsible for the land reclamation this time."

As she spoke, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "However, the reverberation of the night world this time is a bit strange."

"Not long after Vice President Hiltina left the Reverberation, the entrance to the Night World was closed, completely skipping the entire process of exploration and strategy."

"Since I joined Starry University, this is the first time I've seen Night World Reverberation being conquered so quickly..."

"And the passages to the Night World have all disappeared, so the guys from the Ash Court naturally had no choice but to dismantle their half-built stronghold and return home."

Ishtar chuckled: "You didn't see the expressions of the people in the Ash House when they first heard the news. This is the first time I know that a person's face can be so dark."

She waved the bag of bear biscuits towards Last. After seeing Last waving his hand to refuse, she continued to eat with peace of mind. "I guess something must have happened during the historical remnant when Hiltina entered."

"Unfortunately, with my level of authority, I am unable to view the relevant data files in the Mystery Tower..."

"Perhaps only professors at the vice-dean level and the twelve seats at the round table are qualified to access files of this confidentiality level."

Ishtar waved her hand at Luster and said, "Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you, a freshman who has just entered the school and is only at the first level. Just treat it as a joke."

Luster nodded obediently.

That really doesn't matter.

If it weren't for me, your Vice President Hiltina would have been buried under the glory of God's descent, not to mention clearing the Night World Reverberation. Of course, as a senior gigolo with a 100% favorable rating in Deep Blue Harbor, Rast naturally knew what kind of personality mask was most appropriate when facing a noble lady with a typical personality like Istar.

The mental backlash triggered by his previous "Iron Heart" seemed to have left a very deep impression on the other party, to the point of causing him to be quite wary and hostile.

In this situation, if you continue to show your strong side, it will only arouse the other party's rebellious psychology and completely intensify the original conflict.

What you need to do at this time is to combine hardness and softness.

Appropriately showing your weak side is the best way to soften the other person's heart.

At the same time, Last was also constantly collecting a lot of intelligence from the real world by guiding speeches and asking indirect questions.

After all, he was just a hard-working programmer in his previous life, and the plot, writing and art of the game "Snow Moon Emblem" were not within his job scope.

Therefore, he only had a vague impression of the real world outside the night world based on some design concept drafts, and he was not clear about the specific details.

As the conversation with Ishtar deepened, Rast's understanding of the worldview was rapidly being completed.

……

[Your "bond" with Ishtar Julian has deepened, and the "Fool's Library" has gained new power]

[The current bond level of "Hermit" Ishtar has been increased from 1 to 2]

[You have unlocked a new original text]

[Night Blade "Eye of Secrets" - Spirit World Vision has been unlocked]

[Do you want to change the currently equipped card from "Chariot"·Hiltina" to "Hermit"·Ishtar? ]

In Last's mind, the card engraved with the girl with blonde twintails emitted a bright light, flickering unsteadily.

In less than an hour of interaction, Rast raised Ishta's bond level from 1 to 2.

Compared to the previous time in Deep Blue Harbor, when Last and Hiltina were chased and blocked by the Iron Cross Tide, and experienced countless times of life and death together, they finally upgraded their bond to level two. The difficulty is simply a world of difference.

Of course, in a sense—

Considering Last's appearance and his experience of imitating a gigolo countless times in Deep Blue Harbor, this is the normal progress for Last.

And cases like Hiltina are extremely rare exceptions.

So, looking at the last flashing change prompt in his mind, Last decisively chose "No".

As we all know, the strength of a card is often directly linked to its difficulty of acquisition and rarity.

Compared to Hiltina's "Infinite Sword", Ishtar can only get the warehouse manager position.

Who made him always a devout strength party?
