After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

She always ate with her back ramrod straight, and her sleeping bag was always folded neatly. Especially after using the restroom, it was spotless, with not a single drop of water left on the sink.

"Senior Yicheng..."

"What's wrong, Lonnie?"

"Ah, I'm just curious, Senior Yicheng, what kind of life do you lead on a daily basis? Do you also live in the student dormitory?"

Although Lonnie and Elusia were not assigned to student dormitories... judging from Zhou Suling's living conditions, she knew that the school did not have strict requirements for personal living arrangements.

"No, I didn't live in the student dormitory because I've actually graduated."

"Oh, you've graduated?"

"Well, but because I haven't paid off all the loan points, I still need to work and study at school until I pay them off completely."

"Oh, oh? Senior, are you in the same boat as us? How long will it take to pay it off?"

"It will probably take another 100 years."

"100 years!!!!"

With a thud, Lonnie almost knelt on the ground.

Yi Cheng nodded slightly, as if to say something perfectly normal:

"However, helping the school with more tasks might help me pay off my loan earlier, right? For example, this task, if it goes smoothly, might be able to offset 1-2 years' worth of points."

"This...this kind of thing..."

If Lonnie hadn't seen Yicheng eating with her own eyes, she would have almost thought that Yicheng was some kind of advanced robot, just like Dean Cui Biya.

After all, even if an ordinary person lives to death, they might not be able to pay off the debt in 100 years.

However, upon hearing what Yicheng said, Elusia chimed in from the side:

"What are you talking about? Don't try to fool my little maid. Senior Yicheng, aren't you the inheritor of the Clear Temple? So, aren't these things all predetermined fates?"

"Haha, that makes sense."

Yi Cheng smiled slightly and did not refute Elusia.

Lonnies, however, asked:

"Young Miss, what does 'determined fate' mean?"

"As the inheritor of Chengche, Yicheng's fate is no longer her own... because the inheritor possesses immense power, capable of overturning the course of a battle even in modern warfare."

"Uh?"

"In short, with more power comes more responsibility. The power of the Clear Temple is crucial to the academy, so Yicheng must be bound to the school."

"I see... So, is Senior Yicheng's disciplined life also due to the rules?"

"No, these are just my personal habits."

"what?"

"I think this kind of life won't cause trouble for others, and everything looks clean and tidy, making it easier to observe things that are unknown to others."

Senior Yicheng nodded... Although her eyes were covered, Lonnies always felt that she was being watched.

"Something unknown to others?"

"Yeah, like cockroaches or something."

"What?! There are cockroaches on a magic ship?"

"I don't know. After all, even the Temple of Clarity has found cockroaches. No one can guarantee that there won't be any here."

"Yicheng, you bastard!!! Are you doubting me?"

Upon hearing what Yicheng said, if Elusia hadn't been piloting the ship, she would have already come after her to fight.

"Of course I'm not doubting her. Elusia is my master right now, how could I possibly doubt her?"

"Hmph, don't think I won't humiliate you. When the time is right, I'll show you how I get my revenge."

And so the ship continued its journey.

After two days of sailing, the magic ship finally arrived near its destination... However, at this moment, the most difficult thing was placed in front of the girls.

Completely unable to make contact.

However, no matter how many times Elusia called the communication station or tried different frequencies, she received no reply from any research station.

Moreover, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and even if the ship was raised, it would not be able to get a wide field of vision... The girls' visibility was no more than 200 meters. Searching for the location of the Boundless Research Station in such an environment was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And at times like these, one must...

……

"Hmph, Senior Yicheng, are you still watching the show?"

Elusia snorted coldly, her gaze turning displeased as she looked at the orange-haired girl beside her.

But the girl remained calm.

He didn't even move his body:

"Yes, I'm already watching the show."

"Aha?"

"At a horizontal level of -1341.8 meters, with the ship at 347 degrees and a distance of 12509 meters, there are two enormous ancient beasts fighting each other."

"I asked you to tell me the location of the Boundless Science Station, why are you watching the alien beast battle?"

"Among them is a strange beast, not a naturally born ordinary type, but a combat type that has been artificially bred. Let me see... Hmm, the number is AXLY-115, which confirms that it is a product of the Boundless Science Station."

"..."

“Miss Elusia, my suggestion is to descend and cautiously head towards the target location. Perhaps we can find some additional information there.”

"Hmph, I know. Lonnies, go tell Zhou Suling to hurry up and put on her blindfolds... We need to descend and enjoy the monsters' melee."

Chapter 31 A Girl More Dangerous Than a Tentacle Monster

Rain clouds are generally quite low in altitude.

So after descending, the ship entered a completely harsh environment... It was pitch black all around, and visibility was less than 200 meters.

But what puzzled Lorne the most was that these raindrops were black.

Just like the undead calamities described in some fantasy novels, these black water droplets contained a large number of coal particles. When they scraped against the window, they soon stained the glass with a mottled color.

The windows on all sides were unusable, but fortunately, the driver's cab window still had wipers. So everyone gathered in the driver's cab, carefully watching the scene outside.

"Senior Yicheng, how much further?"

"Hmm, 783 meters to go. Keep the angle like this and don't descend any further."

"This... is this the boundless land? It looks so dark, I can't see anything."

"Is it because of the rain? Will it be much better once the rain stops?"

Hearing Lonnies say that, Elusia rolled her eyes at her: "Hmph, you stupid maid, the Endless Land is not a good place to begin with... Here, it's safer when it rains than when it doesn't."

"what?"

"Hmph, looks like we're in luck. We've managed to approach our destination undetected."

……

The pattering raindrops pounded against the hull, creating a noisy din whether in the cabin or at the helm.

But at least the ship was safe, and the fire crystal fireplace provided warmth. Having companions made it less lonely.

Gradually, Lonnie could see the surface of the boundless land clearly. The land here was also black, but this black was not the black of fertile soil; rather, it was more like a scorched black.

There were no plants in sight, and even bare rocks were scarce. For a moment, Lonnie thought she had arrived on the surface of Mars.

Before long, the spaceship arrived at the location mentioned by Senior Yicheng.

One of the monsters was particularly ferocious. It looked somewhat similar to the legendary Godzilla, with a body about 20 meters long and barbs on its back.

Fighting it was a pitch-black tentacle monster, each of which was tens of meters long, with suckers covered in black slime. The way it wriggled and coiled around was disgusting.

The two giant beasts trembled with each other. The tentacle monster wrapped itself around the pangolin's body, while the pangolin cut off the tentacle monster's long whiskers.

Therefore, the situation is already quite clear.

"Young Miss, that hedgehog monster, isn't it one of the monsters bred by the Boundless Research Institute?"

"Aha?"

"It seems the hedgehog has the upper hand. Soon, it should be able to tear this tentacle monster apart, right?"

Because she had been bullied by the tentacle monster, Lonnies instinctively felt a sense of aversion towards it.

Although she had read tentacle-themed comics when she was a boy, at this moment, she wished that all tentacle monsters in the world would die.

however……

"Are you an idiot?"

"what?!"

"How could the research institute possibly cultivate 'Abyssal Pangolins' as weapons? With such a large size, they could bankrupt the research institute just by eating them."

"Waaah..."

"It's not like we're training high-level special agents, so the monsters in the research institute are naturally tentacled monsters. The AXLY-115 can not only be used for combat, but also for transporting goods on a daily basis. In an emergency, it can even be eaten. It's incredibly convenient!"

"Ah...ah?!"

"Haven't you ever tried dried squid? It's similar in flavor. However, the larger pieces usually don't taste as good, and they're troublesome to grill, so I don't recommend cooking them!"

Elusia frowned, staring at Lonnies as if she were an idiot: "In short, we have to help this tentacle monster. Senior Izumi, do you have any plans?"

"Yes, my plan is to conduct an airdrop operation, so that I can personally fight this monster to the death."

"Haha, are you crazy? You want to fight this terrifying monster head-on with your bare hands?"
