"That's not important..."

Lily swallowed the red tea in her mouth, her eyes shining: "Quickly explain yourself clearly. What happened at that time? What was the exact time? Tell me exactly what Gawain said, word for word. Let me help you judge whether he is lying."

As he spoke, he took a sip of black tea to calm his nerves.

"You want to see me smile again..."

Herwi's expression changed drastically halfway through her sentence, and she covered her mouth as she rushed into the bathroom.

"yue~~~"

"puff---"

Lily sprayed the tea directly, unlike usual when she wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth. A bolt of lightning struck her mind, and she sat blankly on the edge of the bed, the image of Hervy stammering and unable to speak, finally closing her eyes and gulping down words.

That's how it's written in the books, there can't be any mistakes.

"You...you guys...you've been in the boys' dormitory all day?"

Ignoring the pain in her limbs, Lily forced herself to stand up and slowly moved to the bathroom door. With a hint of reproach, she said, "What did I tell you? The easier something is to get, the less you know how to cherish it. How could you agree to his... request?"

Herwi rubbed her right hand twice in the bathroom: "What does this have to do with Gawain? I just saw something disgusting."

You know it's disgusting, yet you still managed to eat it!

Lily covered her face with her hand, shook her head to clear her mind, and, adopting the authority of an older sister, suppressed her blushing and racing heart as she scolded, "With your abilities, you could totally...pull...out...that disgusting thing from Gawain...In short, you could totally stop him!"

I have a feeling you're thinking some really offensive things!

Hervy looked at Lily with a strange expression, thought for a moment, analyzed the situation calmly, and saw through it.

Ugh, always thinking about such lewd things.

Hervé's nausea, which she had just suppressed, suddenly intensified. She lowered her head and dry-heaved a few times before stepping forward and saying, "Don't talk nonsense. The disgusting thing I saw is not you..."

"Don't come any closer. Wash yourself clean before you touch me." Lily's face paled, and she refused to have any close contact with Hervy, who spoke in such a childish manner.

"..."

Herwi paused for a moment, then took a step forward, pounced on Lily, pinned her to the bed, and began to exhale rapidly.

"No, don't come any closer!"

Lily turned pale with fright. She was already fair-skinned, but the heatstroke made her even paler.

"hey-hey."

Hervy smiled slyly and leaned down to kiss Lily's struggling face several times: "Neither Gawain nor I have any dating experience, especially kissing. Lily, you'll help me, right?"

"What are you trying to do... Calm down, let Lily go!"

"Giggle, too late."

"Go away... Waaah..."

Lily kicked her legs, but due to difficulty breathing, she soon became stiff and motionless.

"What a mediocre product. I thought it would be sweeter."

Hervy raised her hand to wipe her mouth, showing none of the blushing and heart-pounding she had when kissing Gawain. Her eyes were vacant, as if Lily had been played with and ruined. She grinned mischievously and asked, "How was it? How did it taste?"

"yue~~"

"Hey, don't be naughty, you're making me... naughty~"

Inside the bedroom, the two sisters teased each other for a long time until Hervy couldn't hold back any longer and surrendered, explaining the whole story. Only then did Lily's side quiet down.

“Gawain and Dawn are such good friends…he is Gauss…”

Lily listened with a frown, and finally said, "Don't go to see Gao Wen at night anymore. He needs room to grow. You'll only hurt him by doing this."

"How could this happen? If I hadn't shown up today, Gawain would have been killed by that monster." Hervy was unconvinced, firmly believing that a beauty could save a hero.

“Gawain isn’t stupid. He has brains, Dawn, and a plan. He can handle that monster even without you.”

Lily shook her head slightly and analyzed rationally, "That was prey that Gawain had prepared for himself. He must have planned it for a long time, but because you interfered, it was all ruined."

"Impossible! Gao Wen just mastered magic release, while the monster is a high-level mage, a whole realm lower!"

They've already mastered magic release; that's incredibly fast!

Lily was startled, thinking to herself that she must be fully prepared for the next night raid, and especially be quick, because once Gawain becomes a high-level mage, she will be bedridden with heatstroke again.

"Lily, Yue, say something!"

“There’s nothing to say. Gawain isn’t a fool who acts recklessly. He has his own secrets. You’ve underestimated him.”

"Tch, you talk like you know Gao Wenyi very well."

"..."

Lily fell silent. After two night raids, she had tasted the extraordinary bloodline. Her understanding of Gawain was indeed a tiny bit better than Hervy's.

This cannot be said; Hervy will go mad.

Chapter 107 Humans cannot, or at least should not

6 month 20 day.

Night, on the highway.

There are people in the woods by the roadside again tonight.

Gao Wen squatted down in front of a scallion plant, rummaging through the corpse for a wallet. The scallion plant, naturally unwilling, was there to make money, not to lose it, and immediately resisted.

boom!

They stopped resisting.

"With such fierce resistance, I thought there would be a lot of money, but it turned out to be only two hundred dollars."

Gao Wen tossed his wallet aside, stuffed the two hundred yuan he had collected into his pocket, and mocked the six-digit password that protected his three-digit savings.

"..."

Dawn: (?_?)

I haven't known Gao Wen for very long, only about a month, but through this month of getting to know him, I've learned a lot of things that aren't taught in school.

In conclusion, I wasted the first half of my life, and the second half is a complete mess.

You've wasted your time!

“Dawn, look, this road runs between the capital and the university town. During the day, it’s bustling with traffic, but it doesn’t seem unusual.”

On the other side, Teacher Gao Wen was polluting the environment: "However, at night, looking out in the dim light, it was rather eerie. The once quiet soil on both sides of the road had suddenly sprouted countless people..."

"They generally prefer silence, like the green stubble left after harvesting leeks, or like an old wallet carelessly discarded, standing numbly in the cold wind."

"I don't know where they came from, just as I don't know where they're going. I just feel that although the road is flat, it has an inexplicable chill about it..."

"Someone once said that there were no roads in the world, but as more people walked on them, they became roads. But now that the roads have been built, the people who walk on them seem to have become part of the roads. In this night, it is hard to tell whether the roads have swallowed people or people have filled the roads."

The passage was lengthy and insightful, but Dawn knew that Gawain was just bored out of his mind.

"Stop lamenting, someone else is coming from the four o'clock direction."

"Let's go fill in the road."

Gao Wen leaped up and walked on air in the night, heading straight for the four o'clock direction.

Lately, Gao Wen has been active on the highway every night, completing tasks to improve himself and honing his magic release skills.

Skills like "Falling into the Air" and "Magic Shield" are highly efficient and practical survival skills, more reliable than magic in crucial moments.

Real-world practice is the best training!

The idea of ​​"like cures like" doesn't hold true in modern medicine, but it does in sociology. The more you can endure hardship, the more hardship you'll endure, and the more capable you are, the more successful you become.

Gawain wanted to improve and climb to the top step by step. Stepping stones were essential, so the adventurer Gauss's bounty poster reappeared.

The reward is 1500 million.

This money came out of Gao Wen's own pocket; his share of the profits from providing the ledgers has been received.

Last month, the Griffith family, together with several business partners, launched a commercial crackdown on the nobles involved in the Sunset Town incident. This month, they completely crushed the Avengers Alliance. Everyone is making progress together, and Gawain's profits, after discounting, amount to 4300 million.

There weren't originally so many, but too many nobles were eager to take advantage of the situation, grabbing a piece here and a piece there, everyone shoveling into their own plate. The cake, which wasn't big to begin with, ended up with only two prime shops in the capital and a small factory in the hands of the Griffith family.

Just like Hill said, there are too many commissioners, and with everyone getting one, Gawain won't get much.

After discounting, the total amount received was 43 million, with 80% belonging to Griffith Auction House as compensation. The auction house bears undeniable responsibility for the robbery of the client's auction items due to inadequate security.

Gawain, out of consideration for Hill, smiled and refused the compensation. They were all brothers, and since the information about the adventurer Gauss had been delivered truthfully, his goal had been achieved.

Since Gawain was so agreeable, Hill naturally couldn't be evasive. He added a surcharge to the share of the ledger, rounding it up to 4300 million.

Donating the Seven-Colored Diamond didn't bring in any money from the Temple of All Things, nor from the auction house. Instead, everyone progressed together, making money quickly and steadily. No wonder the commissioners always like to come up with clever pretexts, only to end up with various unfinished projects. Low risk, high return—Gao Wen has become addicted to it.

Let's talk about the bounty notice again.

Adventurer Gauss had been wanted once before, and if he wanted to be wanted again, there might be a third time. Even a fool could guess Gawain's motives. The Adventurers' Guild didn't stop him, nor did they mention any fines for violating the rules. The guild issued a bounty, and without doing anything, they received a 20% profit—a sure-fire way to make money, and they couldn't be happier doing it more often.

As for the bounty hunters who were used as stepping stones by Gawain, the Adventurers' Guild said there was nothing they could do to help.

Where is the bullying of honest people? This system has been in place for so many years. Don't spout nonsense with your eyes wide open. Look for the reasons within yourself. You've earned so much bounty, yet your strength remains stagnant. Have you been using your salary to learn magic?

The Adventurers' Guild took 20% of the profits, turning a blind eye to the situation. With the funds in place, Gawain quickly started using the highway to grind quests and level up.

With both sides working together, the bounty hunters will only suffer!

The only problem is Hervy, a girlfriend who is both strong and clingy. If she doesn't refuse, it will affect her income; if she refuses, it will affect her height.

Unexpectedly, before Gawain could figure out how to bring it up, Hervy suddenly stopped being clingy, explaining that Lily's family was very strict and didn't allow her and her boyfriend to stay out all night.

The pressure is too great, there's really no way to stop it.

This is a great reason. Telling the truth would hurt Gawain's pride, so blaming Lily helps him create the persona of a bad best friend and a wicked older sister. It's a win-win situation, practically perfect.

The scene shifts back to the highway, where Gao Wen has arranged a row of six people lying upside down on the corpse. They found 60 yuan, exclaiming that it was outrageous, and beckoned Dawn over to see the idiot.

“There’s something wrong. Normal people don’t carry a lot of cash with them, and it’s even less likely that each person would have exactly 10 on them.” Dawn frowned.

Makes sense.

Gawain nodded. A proper bounty hunter wouldn't carry cash when he went out. The most he'd ever found when looting corpses was a midnight snack. It was really too strange to suddenly find 60.
