FATE: Target of Grand Master

In a room with unknown coordinates

BB was watching intently at the screen, which was showing Xia Yan's experiences during the second trial.

"I'm back."

Lilith's tone was exactly like that of a delinquent student speaking perfunctorily to their parents after returning home.

"Honestly, I made a wasted trip."

BB turned around, her expression unusually angry, and said, "A wasted trip? Lilith, do you know how many Masters have been eliminated because you arbitrarily changed the difficulty of the side quests?"

Lilith seemed unconcerned.

"Humans are all greedy. I was merely giving them the punishment they deserved. Besides, those who survive such trials are the Masters we truly need, aren't they?"

"you!"

BB was furious with Lilith's attitude. If it weren't for the current shortage of manpower, she really wouldn't have wanted to release SAKURA FIVE.

"That... Mother..."

A purple-haired girl with an extremely exaggerated chest and huge golden claws spoke up weakly.

"What is it?" BB asked impatiently.

"Ah..." The giant-clawed girl was startled by BB, then stammered, "Um... the latest batch of defeated and eliminated humans has been preserved, but because the number of eliminated people is increasing, the magic supply in the storage room is a bit tight."

BB calmed herself down and replied, "Okay, I understand. Parsons Lip, you did a great job."

Lip hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's all thanks to Mother's nurse clone. I was just relaying messages."

BB was used to Lip's reactions and said, "If there's nothing else, let's go back now."

"Yes, Mother."

Parsons turned around and moved forward with her two enormous claws. The golden claws collided with the void and the ground, making a crisp sound like metal clashing together.

"And you, Lilith, if you're really that bored, go help the Emperor Flower. But you're forbidden from touching my control panel again. If I catch you doing it again, I'll put you back in the furnace for reworking!"

Seeing that BB wasn't joking, Lilith scoffed and left dejectedly.

BB turned his attention back to Xia Yan on the big screen and Morgan beside him.

"Although some coordination is still needed, the fact that it can cross the World Wall on its own is truly worthy of being called the King of Lostbelts."

Actually, BB was a little puzzled by Xia Yan's summoning of Morgan. Why could this human summon a Lostbelt Servant?

Of the 80 billion people, only Xia Yan summoned Morgan, the king of the Lostbelts.

"Forget it, this isn't important. Considering you managed to survive in the dungeons that Lilith has increased the difficulty by several notches, BB-chan will just pretend she didn't see this unauthorized crossing. Oh, and the corresponding rewards need to match up."

Having made the decision, BB busied herself at the control panel again.

-----------------

Back at the safe house, Morgan was still bothered by Lilith's threats to Xia Yan.

"The next time I see that woman, I'll make her taste the flavor of Rungominiad."

Cú Chulainn, on the other hand, had already put the matter out of his mind. He had changed into his everyday clothes and was looking around the safe house.

Just as Xia Yan was comforting Morgan with "Mmm, mmm," a purple gift icon popped up.

Seeing this, Morgan stopped enjoying Xia Yan's comforting words and urged him to open it quickly.

Cú Chulainn, having entered the safe house, could see the system interface and, out of curiosity, approached.

Looking at the settlement screen that was almost touching the ground, Xia Yan was overjoyed.

Sure enough, the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish. Not only did I overcome the trial and gain a lot of Master Points, but I also gambled on the hidden quest and obtained a lot of good things, especially Avalon and the Eye of Petrification. The Knight King and R-chan were really generous!

Morgan and Cú Chulainn, standing on either side of Xia Yan, were also astonished by this extravagant reward.

After reading it, Morgan said sarcastically, "BB finally behaved himself this time."

Cú Chulainn stroked his chin, asking curiously, "Why wasn't I included in the rewards for hiding targets?"

Xia Yan chuckled and patted Cú Chulainn on the back, beaming, "Yeah, aren't you one yourself?"

Cú Chulainn was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "So my reward is to continue working for you, Master?"

"Well, you can't say that. If those hidden rewards could turn into Servants who would contract with me and join my safe house, I would gladly trade them for the rewards I have now."

Xia Yan's words soothed Cú Chulainn's frustration, and the blue lancer immediately put on a carefree smile, asking, "Now that you've obtained so many items, Master, how do you plan to use them?"

Xia Yan said without hesitation, "I will use Avalon, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, and the 10 magic loops myself, but the lucky charm is for you."

Cú Chulainn looked completely bewildered: "Adding luck wouldn't help me much, would it?"

"NO, NO, NO."

Xia Yan shook his finger, then solemnly handed the lucky charm to Cú Chulainn, saying earnestly, "Lancer, believe me, luck is the attribute you most need to improve."
