Who are you calling a stable boy?!

The extraordinary is a very broad stage.

According to Viktorvich's book "On the Ecology of Courtyard Transcendents," most players will undergo their transcendent transformation at level 10, specifically in the courtyard.

The performance of the mission hall in the mortal bone area of ​​the courtyard seems to corroborate the Eye of Knowledge's conclusion that it is correct.

However, the multiverse is never short of naturally powerful races, and some races are firmly on the path to the extraordinary from the moment they are born.

Therefore, at the extraordinary stage, the overall level cannot actually be used as a broad standard for judging whether a player is extraordinary or not.

If we had to say, the level that can truly serve as a broad standard for overall rating is the 16th to 17th level, which is known as the "Legendary Barrier".

Moreover, even after crossing the threshold of the extraordinary, there are still differences between those who are extraordinary.

and so--

"Ok?"

Zheng Jing paused in his task selection process.

With a flick of his finger, the bookshelves moved at high speed, eventually spitting out a scroll that landed in Zheng Jing's hand.

-

Shugo Chara!

Recommended level: LV8-LV10

Mission Summary: The employer needs a professional bodyguard to protect his sister for seven days during an upcoming Holy Grail War.

Task reward: 4399 Courtyard Coins.

Note: If you feel the compensation is insufficient, we can schedule a meeting. As long as you are capable, I can definitely provide adequate compensation!

-

Zheng Jing scratched his cheek.

The Holy Grail War is said to be...

I just don't know which timeline the Holy Grail War is from.

In the multiverse, flat-planet worlds are very common.

In different times and spaces, intelligent life occasionally senses the flow of information and creates literary works depicting various aspects of other times and spaces—a phenomenon that is also common in the multiverse.

Judging from the brief description of this task alone, Zheng Jing couldn't say for sure what kind of person the employer might be.

Could he be a legendary hero?

After closing the scroll, Zheng Jing simply accepted the task.

Once you accept a mission in the mission hall, it's equivalent to signing a contract through the courtyard.

If you abandon the task midway, you will need to pay a penalty to the employer.

But Zheng Jing is now very wealthy, and he can easily afford the penalty for breach of contract, which is equivalent to twice the compensation.

Of course, Zheng Jing did not think he would be unable to complete this task.

The courtyard has a relatively rigorous evaluation system when setting recommended levels for tasks.

The fact that this mission can be completed in the Mortal Realm means that even players who haven't reached the Transcendent Realm have a good chance of succeeding.

Then why can't Zheng Jing do it?

He'd like to see—

Let's see what kind of Holy Grail War it is, that even a courtyard player is participating!

Chapter 91: I've seen this younger sister before!

"Boom!"

In the early hours of the morning, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the quiet town!

"Ouch, what happened..."

Zheng Jing, who was squatting on a small pile of wreckage, scratched his cheek.

As this was his first teleportation in his original form, Zheng Jing felt as if he had just knocked something away, and he didn't know what was wrong with the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself crashing through a roof and falling into a building.

Well... at least the destination of the teleportation can't be wrong, right?

"Cough! Cough cough—what—what is it?!"

The childish voice made Zheng Jing stand up from the small pile of ruins.

"Oh? Isn't this Rin Lily?"

With a flick of his finger, he stirred up a gentle breeze, carrying away the remaining dust from the large hole he had just smashed. Zheng Jing then jumped in front of Rin Tohsaka, whose eyes were filled with tears.

To be precise, it was in front of Rin Tohsaka, who was only 7 years old.

"So cute."

"What 'Lin Lily'?! My name is—"

Rubbing her eyes, which were covered in dust, Xiao Xiaolin was about to call out her name when she seemed to remember something, her throat tightened, and she took a step back.

"You...you know me?"

"Of course—"

Seeing Xiao Lin, whose eyes were slightly red but who was still trying to open them wide and looked wary, Zheng Jing grinned. He was about to straighten up and say something righteous, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he seemed to suddenly remember something and his face stiffened.

"...Are you the employer?"

"What? Is that not allowed?"

Upon hearing Zheng Jing's words, Rin was basically certain that the seemingly carefree man in front of her was the courtyard player who had accepted her quest.

Zheng Jing pointed at Lin, then at himself, and his stiff lips twitched slightly.

Lin raised her head, her large eyes meeting Zheng Jing's gaze without flinching.

"Rin? Rin! Are you here?"

Just then, an anxious call came.

Following the call, Zheng Jing looked toward a door that was clicking.

He seemed to have fallen into the house where Rin was currently living, but Zheng Jing wasn't sure if this was Rin's room.

However, it is certain that Rin locked that door herself beforehand.

"Your mother?"

Zheng Jing raised his chin towards the door.

"Who told you to make such a commotion!"

Rin clearly panicked when she heard her mother calling her.

"Do you have any hiding skills? Anyway, hide first!"

"Hey, I have an idea!"

Zheng Jing raised his finger and grinned at Lin.

"Rin-chan, can I borrow your hand?"

Subconsciously putting her hands behind her back, Rin stared at Zheng Jing with some hesitation.

"Rin? I heard your voice! Don't be afraid! Mommy's coming right now—"

Hearing her mother's voice calling in her ear, Rin gritted her teeth and stretched out her left hand to Zheng Jing.

"You, you mustn't do anything reckless! Don't forget we have a contract for the courtyard!"

"Relax, relax, would I, Old Zheng, eat you?"

Squatting down, Zheng Jing pulled out a red marker that had been thrown into his backpack at some point and made three quick taps on Lin's fair and delicate hand.

"Hey! You—"

Zheng Jing's hand speed was too fast for Lin to react to.

By the time she realized what Zheng Jing had done, he had already casually closed the pen cap, then darted to the door and opened it in two quick movements.

"ah!"

It's no wonder they're mother and daughter; their reactions when startled are remarkably similar.

Completely unprepared for the door to be suddenly pulled open from the inside, Aoi Tohsaka was caught off guard and was about to crash into Zheng Jing's arms.

"Hey~"

With a slight sway, Zheng Jing tapped the box lid twice with the marker in his hand, instantly helping Tohsaka Aoi regain her balance.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Rin's mother!"

Seeing that Tohsaka Aoi was still in a daze, Zheng Jing smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Upon seeing the tall, imposing stranger with four arms, and especially upon hearing her daughter's name from him, Aoi Tohsaka instinctively showed a hint of fear and took a step back.

"You, you—"

"mom!"

"cold!"

Seeing her daughter running towards her unharmed, Tohsaka Aoi quickly crouched down and hugged her, as if using her body to block Zheng Jing's gaze from falling on Rin.

When her mother so hastily pulled her into her arms, Rin, who was about to say something, mumbled a couple of things but was squeezed so tightly that she couldn't utter a clear word.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

With her daughter in her arms, Aoi Tohsaka seemed to regain her composure.

She turned her face slightly to the side and cautiously spoke to Zheng Jing.

"Hehe, Rin's mom, don't be afraid! My name is Zheng Jing, and I'm your good daughter's servant!"

"—Huh?"

"--ha?!"

Aoi Tohsaka and Rin's voices rang out one after the other, right in front of each other.

"If you don't believe me, look at the back of her left hand, hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Aoi Tohsaka quickly looked down to find Rin's left hand.

Rin was about to hide her left hand behind her back when her mother grabbed it.

Three bright red beans appeared on the back of little Rin's hand, and in the still dim light of dawn, they fell into Aoi Tohsaka's eyes.

"..."

"Mom! Wait! This—Mom?"

Ms. Tohsaka Aoi suddenly closed her eyes and her body went limp.

"Mother?!"

-

"Thank you for your hard work! Take care! Don't bother seeing me out!"

After waving goodbye to the two local inspectors, Zheng Jing closed the door. As soon as he turned around, he met Lin, who was standing with his hands on his hips and puffing out his cheeks in a huff.

Why did you say such a thing!

Even when questioning, Rin didn't dare to raise her voice too much.

Mrs. Kui, whose physical and mental condition had just been restored by Zheng Jing's internal energy, was currently fast asleep in her room.

"What?"

Zheng Jing squatted down, looking at Lin with a grin.

Seeing Zheng Jing's expression, Lin stomped her foot in anger.

"this!"

She raised her left hand and shoved the three beans marked with a red marker in front of Zheng Jing.
