Their commission was suspicious.

At the same time, there were hardly any living people left in the entire city.

Isn't it normal to scavenge for trash while playing a post-apocalyptic game?

When Durandal followed the trail of fireworks and cautiously approached the vicinity of the restaurant, she only saw a burning candle and steaming food, along with a note next to it.

After confirming several times that there were no ambushes or thermal imaging reactions around, Durandal walked to the candlelight and food and picked up the note.

After reading the note, just as Xiao Xiaoshi had predicted, Durandal's first reaction was to check if there were any bombs hidden in the food, and then she used special instruments to check if the food was poisoned.

After thoroughly checking that the substance was not poisonous, Durandal, as Xiaoshi had predicted, did not eat it. Instead, she took out a portable nutrition bar.

After chasing for so long, it's really time to eat.

Chapter 81 Chen Luo: Captain Durandal! I have always been devoted to destiny!

"No way, Sister Durandal, you've been chasing me all day, and you really can't catch me."

On the second day, Chen Luo stood on the TV tower and shouted at Durandal, who was chasing after him in the distance.

Durandal's armor had flight capabilities, and she easily flew to the top of the TV tower, where she confronted Chen Luo.

“I’m not your older sister.” Durandal’s spear pierced the metal sheet on top of the TV tower.

"It's just a title of respect, and you might not believe it, but I was born in 03."

"So you want to tell me that you're just a 12-year-old child?" Since Chen Luo was willing to communicate, Yulandel didn't mind using this time to communicate with him and gather information.

Durandal mostly uses force to resolve tasks, but that doesn't mean she's not smart.

With Otto as her teacher and having saved a world bubble at the young age of 12, it's impossible to say that Durandal is stupid.

If Chen Luo was indeed born in 2003, he would only be 12 years old in 2014, which clearly does not match his physique.

However, on the other hand, the fact that Durandal could grow into an S-class Valkyrie at the age of 14, with a tall and perfect figure, makes one have to admire Cecilia's genes.

Can you imagine that Durandal is only 14 years old?

But Durandal's age of 14 surpasses that of the Crimson Iris Immortal's 5 years.

Tsk tsk.

"Of course I can't be 12 years old. But I really was born in 03."

"The year 03 in another world?" After Chen Luo emphasized it once, combined with the information she had obtained about Chen Luo, Durandal guessed the answer.

"But you seem very familiar with this world. You seem like a dangerous person."

"Speak with conscience, Bianca. What have I done in Changkong City besides fighting Honkai Beasts? I even helped your Schicksal fight against Anti-Entropy." Chen Luo tried to defend himself.

"...No matter what, just give up and come back to Destiny with me. The bishop wants to see you." Durandal drew her gun and pointed it at Chen Luo.

"all right."

"Since you... um, what did you say?" Just as Durandal was about to use force against the other party, she suddenly heard the other party agree.

"Captain, you might not believe it, but I've always been drawn to Destiny and always wanted to join it," Chen Luo swore, holding up three fingers.

Chen Luo really wanted to join Destiny, since there were far more good things in Destiny than in Anti-Entropy.

Who knows what Otto has secretly researched and developed?

Once Chen Luo joins the Destiny faction, he can unlock all the Destiny faction's exchangeable items.

“Alright, if you come back with me now, I can recommend you to the bishop to join Destiny. If your character is good enough and the bishop doesn’t accept you, I can let you join the Undying Blade.” Considering that the traveler in front of her was truly exceptional at escaping, Durandal compromised after thinking for a moment.

Furthermore, Durandal believed that Otto would be very interested in Chen Luo, and getting him to join Schicksal wouldn't be difficult.

Even if it's just a casual title, it's still considered joining Destiny. This way, Otto can bind a traveler with knowledge of another world to his business. He wouldn't refuse such a deal.

As for the Undying Blade... Otto would never include someone with knowledge of another world in his combat team, at least according to Durandal's understanding of Otto.

However, Durandal wasn't lying. If Otto really didn't want the other person, and the other person's character was acceptable, Durandal would indeed let the other person intern at the Undying Blade as compensation.

Of course, it was just an internship...

“That won’t do.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"What, you want to back out?" Durandal raised her lance again.

Durandal didn't bring the Black Abyss White Flower this time because it wasn't a particularly important mission. But even with an ordinary gun, Durandal was confident she could easily beat Chen Luo.

"No, that's not it. The main thing is that I want to eliminate the Honkai Beasts and the zombies here. Besides, this city has just experienced the third Great Honkai, so it has the highest chance of survival. The longer it drags on, the greater the chance of death will be," Chen Luo explained.

Also, this event only lasts for 7 days, who has the time to accompany you to Destiny first?

Besides, I'm also going to join World Serpent.

"...You don't need to worry about that. Destiny will organize a team to come here for search and rescue," Durandal said after a moment of silence.

"Bianca Durandal Atagina, ask yourself honestly, do you even believe that? If Schicksal is willing to come here within 7 days to rescue a very small number of survivors, I'll just drink all the nuclear waste... Honkai energy wastewater in Changkong City." Chen Luo scoffed.

Chen Luo didn't know about other things, but the experience of the Law Enforcer told him that Destiny hadn't been able to deal with the tough nut of Changkong City for several years.

They didn't even bother to clear out the assassins, let alone search for survivors.

Well, of course, there's also the reason that Changkong City is actually within the territory (processing area) of St. Freya Academy.

"...Honkai events are becoming more and more frequent in various places. Schicksal may not have enough manpower to deal with them in time, but Schicksal will definitely not ignore them," Durandal affirmed.

"That won't do. If you want me to go to Destiny with you, it will have to be at least 7 days later. During these 7 days, I will do my best to eliminate the assassins and Honkai Beasts in Changkong City, as well as search and rescue survivors. No one can stop me."

“The Mandate of Heaven might handle this later, but that’s a matter for the future. In this environment, how many days can an ordinary person survive? You, as a Valkyrie, should know that very well, right? By the time the Mandate of Heaven’s support arrives, it will be too late.” Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Durandal.

"...You have two choices now. One is for me to defeat you and then tie you up and take you back to the Destiny Headquarters. The other is for you to give up and come back to the Destiny Headquarters with me." Durandal didn't intend to waste words with Chen Luo.

This does not mean that Durandal does not agree with Chen Luo's point of view; on the contrary, Durandal quite agrees with Chen Luo's point of view.

What Chen Luo did was indeed the right thing.

Fighting the Honkai and rescuing survivors is indeed what Valkyries should do.

But precisely because Chen Luo's actions were correct, Durandal didn't bother arguing with him, because she couldn't refute him.

However, a trade-off must be made between what is correct and what is wrong.

Killing the assassins and rescuing the survivors is indeed important, but Chen Luo's knowledge of the other world and his personality are even more important.

Durandal understood this.

"Look, look, you resort to violence when you can't win an argument. Isn't that a bit excessive?" Chen Luo shrugged helplessly.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s excessive or not. Force may not solve the problem, but it can deal with the person who raised the problem,” Durandal said.

Despite her cool and dashing appearance, Durandal is actually quite straightforward and speaks her mind.

After all, Durandal is Kiana Kaslana. Although their personalities are slightly different, the two Kianas are actually quite similar in general.

Kaslana's idiotic genes, passed down from her ancestors, have never disappeared.

This applies to Karen Kaslana, Siegfried Kaslana, and Kiana Kaslana.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, there's nothing more to talk about. How about this, let's go to the place where I prepared dinner for you yesterday, and play a game there. If you lose, you can do whatever you want with me; if you win, you don't have to bother me for the next 7 days," Chen Luo said.

"I don't want to play any games with you."

“But that’s not something you can decide.” Chen Heng smiled.

"I'm leaving now." Chen Luo's body fell backward, crashing off the towering TV tower.

"You..." Durandal had just activated the thrusters behind her, trying to grab the other person, when she saw the other person disappear into the air in an instant.

"It suddenly disappeared again... Its strength isn't necessarily that great, but it's certainly hard to catch," Durandal said with a headache.

Durandal rarely encountered an enemy like Chen Luo—or rather, an adversary.

Durandal's usual enemies are Honkai Beasts, the kind that fight head-on; she's never played hide-and-seek with them.

Left with no other choice, Durandal had to follow the clues left by Chen Luo to the restaurant from yesterday.

Yulandel was curious to see what game Chen Luo wanted to play.

If she could, Durandal would like to flip the table over and smash it on Chen Luo's head, knocking him unconscious and taking him away.

3 minutes later……

A bar door appeared abruptly at the top of the TV tower.

"Sigh, are they really gone? No wonder they're from the Kaslana family, they're so easy to fool."

After coming out of the door, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the small-scale search talisman had yielded no results.

The method by which Chen Luo disappeared into the air just now was a technique used in the field of warfare.

He pulled himself and Xiao Xiaoshi into the war zone as opponents, then went straight back to the bar, and three minutes later returned to the top of the TV tower via a fixed anchor point.

"I hope Durandal won't be too angry after she finds out she's been tricked." Chen Luo sighed as he took out paper and pen from his backpack.

After leaving a note for Durandal on the spot, Chen Luo flew off again in the opposite direction from the restaurant.

That vault was too sturdy; just as the decryption rate reached 70%, Durandal arrived.

This is a good opportunity to open the vault completely.

"boom!"

Chen Luo, who had just returned from the vault laden with his loot, heard an explosion as he stepped out of the bank.

Looking up, Chen Luo discovered that the spire of the 400-meter-tall TV tower, where he had originally been anchored, had been cut off by some unknown tool.

The TV tower, which was originally over 400 meters tall, is now only over 380 meters tall.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you don't want to play, then don't play. Why get so angry? You even smashed my fixed anchor point." Chen Luo shook his head, sighed, and then walked towards the assassins in the distance, holding his bladeless sword.

The enemy is currently too far away, so there's no need to worry about them chasing us; we can freely engage in combat.

The automatic person-finding talisman will issue a warning when the other party is 3 kilometers away.

Chen Luo's hide-and-seek game is one that the other side can never win.

Chen Luo has no other skills, but his ability to escape is first-rate.

……

"I already have over 5900 raw stones. Shall I try my luck with the lottery?" Chen Luo asked, staring at the lottery interface while using his wind blades and the bladeless sword to reap kills of nearby and distant assassins.

Although Chen Luo had been thinking of saving up for a hundred consecutive draws before doing the lottery, so he could have a good time, it was clear that reality was not a game. There wasn't enough time for Chen Luo to develop his character, and there was no danger to his life.

The reality is dangerous enough.

With over 5900 raw stones, even if some are set aside for emergencies, Chen Luo could still draw at least 30 more times.

Most importantly, Chen Luo now has crystals as another form of currency, which are all-powerful, at least in the Honkai world.

[Ding! The number of Servant or Honkai Beast killed has reached 1000, achieving the achievement (Honkai Reaper)]

"Huh?" Chen Luo, who was mechanically killing the assassins, was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm, that's a bit slow. We've only killed 1000 assassins so far, and a whole day has already passed," Chen Luo sighed.

虽然1000名死士确实是多，但是比起陈洛完成第3个成就要击杀的1万名死士或崩坏兽来讲，也确实才只有1/10。

Now there are only 5 days and 19 hours left until the end of the 7-day event.

"However, completing so many side quests yesterday wasted a lot of time."

Searching for Kiana, explaining things to her and having lunch, accompanying Kiana to the TV tower, beating up Bronya, beating up the Honkai Emperor, beating up the Herrscher of Thunder...

"It seems that lotteries and spending are indeed inevitable, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to kill 1 assassins and Honkai Beasts at this pace. As for that Durandal..."

Chen Luo had another idea about Durandal, who had always been an obstacle to him.

Or should we just lock her up in the war zone for 5 days?

Hmm, when they deliver the goods to my door next time, I'll just throw her into the war zone.

After all, it would be a waste of time to let the other party keep chasing him.

Time is money, and for Chen Luo now, this is no longer just an empty phrase.

Within the realm of war, no one can escape unless the other side kills the enemy.

If I just deliver food to them three times a day, that will be fine.

Logically speaking, Chen Luo shouldn't be able to specify where the Zero Point Bar should appear, but surprisingly, the War Zone was also classified as a world.

In other words, as long as there are still people in the war zone and it hasn't been dismantled, Chen Luo can fix the war zone as an anchor point in another world.
