Gojo Satoru: Of course it's Yuujin. He's the best student I've ever taught. He became a Special Grade Mage in just 9 days. That's even more amazing than me.

Megumi Fushiguro: I hate to admit it, but that guy is too strong.

Ryomen Sukuna: An annoying little devil...

Real person: Children, don't be afraid, look at me, the self-absorbed Yuan Dun.

Yuji Itadori: Masato, you're holding your head too high.

"Maybe there will be a next time."

Swire frowned slightly and said uncertainly,

She knew Qin Tianling was indeed a capable person, but this guy... he was like a double-edged sword. Heaven knows what he might do with his thought process.

Her plan this time was for him to sneak in and steal the Originium Bomb.

As a result, he charged in with the attitude of "I'm going to take on ten of them".

And he's also a bit lawless, like the time he tied himself up and took it back home.

Of course, and most importantly, before that, he patted his own butt... a full three times!

Although Swire could understand, after all, he was mentally ill, and one couldn't expect too much.

But I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Swire's somewhat disgusted expression, Qin Tianling naturally knew why.

—Is it because you wanted to kidnap them before, but the favorability rating was too low, so you're unsure whether to give them a task?

That's easy!

Qin Tianling exited the auxiliary dialogue system, and then clicked on "Send Gift" in the row of options.

—Hehehe, what could be an easier way to increase favorability than giving gifts?

Selecting the item, a one-handed sword bearing the Penguin Logistics logo, originally from Penguin Logistics' armory, appeared in Qin Tianling's hand.

He gripped the sword and handed the hilt towards Swire.

What's going on here?

Swire asked, somewhat at a loss,

What are they trying to do now?

"give you."

"?"

Swire was puzzled.

Why would this guy suddenly give me a weapon?

No... we can't think of this guy's thoughts using normal human logic.

I just finished a task with him, and now he's giving me something.

Is this a gesture of goodwill or approval?

Or is this an apology for what happened before?

Regardless, this was an expression of kindness from the fugitive mental patient in front of me.

What a clumsy way to express myself...

Swire thought so,

She also doesn't consider herself to be such a petty person.

Since the other party has already put it this way, there's no reason for me to refuse.

Although the gifts were clearly not things Swire would use or would buy herself—more like things Chen Huijie would use or buy himself.

But Swire accepted it anyway.

Qin Tianling's eyes lit up when he saw the other party's movements.

Wow, the Snowcock didn't accept the Snowcock underwear I gave it before, and it doesn't seem like it increased its affection level at all.

The fact that the other person accepted it means that giving this gift can increase their favorability towards you!

Then, another weapon appeared in Qin Tianling's hand, still bearing the Penguin Logistics logo, and he handed it to Swire again.

Shi Huaiya hesitated somewhat.

"What are you doing...?"

"give you."

He continued,

Since it can increase favorability, shouldn't I keep grinding until I reach an extremely high favorability level?!

No...it's not necessary.

Upon seeing the second weapon, Swire awkwardly pushed it away.

She really doesn't need it!

Seeing this, Qin Tianling smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Tsk... Is there a limit to how much you can give as gifts?"

Just then, a raindrop fell and hit Swire.

She looked up and saw that the sky, which had been cloudy just moments before, had turned completely overcast, and dark patches of rainwater were spreading across the ground.

"It's starting to rain, and we've already wasted enough time."

"I should go now, you should leave quickly too—before the Ironclad Guild and the Imperial Guard arrive."

After saying that, Swire opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and prepared to drive back to the Guard Bureau.

"it is good."

After nodding, Qin Tianling opened the rear door of the Swire Mayer and plopped down in the back seat.

"Let's drive."

Qin Tianling said it quite naturally.

"no?"

Shi Huaiya turned to look at Qin Tianling.

What do you mean?

Do you want me to be your driver?

"Didn't you bring Chen Huijie's motorcycle yourself?"

"It's drizzling, you'll get wet riding your motorcycle."

Qin Tianling answered naturally.

The main issue is that this game is too realistic; when you get caught in the rain, your clothes stick to your body, which is very uncomfortable.

"What about the motorcycle? Did you just leave it there?"

"Yes, no matter where you put it, it will appear downstairs at Chen Huijie's house the next day."

I've always found this setup quite convenient.

Holy crap, this is a refresh!

Chen Huijie himself ran over there and rode it back for you!

Swire silently felt sorry for Pinky Dragon for a second.

It must have been tough for her to have such a lively character.

"..........never mind."

She sighed helplessly.

"You're going back to the Penguin Logistics dorms, right? I'll take you there by a detour."

After saying that, Swire started the car.

The Maybach carried the two men through the city for a while before driving onto an elevated highway.

At the same time, the rain intensified, gradually turning from a light drizzle into a downpour.

Even with the wipers on their fastest setting, they couldn't keep up with the torrent of water pouring down the windshield. With such heavy rain, visibility became blurry, and Swire had no choice but to slow down.

A row of vehicles blocked the way in the distance, but they were not clearly visible due to the torrential rain.

"Is there an accident ahead, and the Imperial Guard has closed the road?"

Shi Huai-ya squinted, looking at the row of vehicles blocking the road in the distance.

suddenly!

A crossbow bolt tore through the rain and pierced the windshield with a loud thud, sending spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards from the bolt hole.

She then realized that something was wrong!

"Damn it! We're being watched!"

As Shi Huaiya shouted, Qin Tianling also received another mission.

[Mission: Protect our crystal!]

[Mission Description: You have obtained the Originium bomb and were planning a evacuation, but your whereabouts have been discovered. They have decided to ambush you on this overpass. Please protect our Swire!]

[Reward: Black Knight's Shield (Dark Souls 3)]

Qin Tianling's eyes suddenly sharpened.

It wasn't because of the mission.

But -

Fuck!

Someone actually dared to block my bridge!
