Compared to Lumine, who had a great ti slacking off, Stelle was very dissatisfied with the rewards.
Honestly, judging by the pricing of abilities in the chat group, plus how often it issued missions, she probably wouldn't be able to afford any useful or top-tier abilities in her entire life.
Sure, the reward for each mission looked pretty big.
A full 40,000 points.
But there was soone in the group who completely crushed the competition.
And on top of that, the chat group distributed points based on each person's contribution to the mission.
As long as Levi was around and taking the biggest share every ti, they basically had no hope.
Most likely they could only take the guaranteed minimum of 2000 points each ti.
In the inflation-ridden chat group store, who knows how many years it would take before she could afford an ability that could actually improve her strength.
[Levi: Then I just won't go on the next mission.]
[Elysia: Don't!]
[Lumine: Don't!]
[Asta: Don't!]
[Asta: I saw everyone typing 1 and couldn't help myself. I didn't interrupt you, did I?]
[Asta: Speaking of which, Ms. Herta sent a photo. Is this person Levi?]
After that, Asta uploaded the photo Herta had sent to her phone into the chat group.
Seeing the man inside with black hair, black eyes, and a completely drained expression, the few people currently online all froze for a mont.
A bit of confusion appeared in their hearts.
Of course, it wasn't that there was anything wrong with the photo Asta sent.
The photo was fine, and the person in it was indeed Levi himself.
The problem was the person in the photo…
When they left, he had still looked energetic. How did he suddenly beco like this?
Like he had just fought three hundred rounds against more than a dozen burly n?
Was it really okay for him to look this worn out?
Could it be that Kiana really had beaten him into internal injuries?
And the way he acted like nothing was wrong before was just to deceive them so they could leave without worry?
Elysia, Lumine, and Stelle frowned at the sa ti.
But before they could ask about his condition, Levi was the first to deny Asta's question in the chat.
[Levi: No.]
[Asta: ? Did Ms. Herta mistake him…]
But Ms. Herta said he was the only person nearby in the photo…
She couldn't help but confirm again with Herta, and in the end received the reply, "There really was no one else nearby."
A thick look of confusion imdiately appeared on her face.
[Levi: She must have gotten it wrong. Think about it, I'm a powerhouse who can solo a Lord Ravager. How could I possibly look like that kind of kidney… empty young master!]
[Levi: She definitely made a mistake!]
[Stelle: ?]
[Levi: Do you have a problem?]
Seeing Levi tag her, Stelle shrank her neck slightly. A faint sense of danger seed to appear around her.
As if one wrong answer would bring disaster.
But as a Naless, soone born to walk the Trailblaze path, how could she shrink back just because of a little danger?
Stelle's eyes sharpened as she made a certain decision.
[Stelle: No problem.]
"..."
That was her decision.
"Good thing you know what's good for you."
Levi raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
If his reaction hadn't been fast enough, he might have been the one in trouble.
Glancing at Asta in the chat group, Levi sneered. "A little rich girl thinks she can trick ? Don't underestimate my intelligence!"
He still rembered that he had shown Asta his photo before.
It was the picture of him and Qingque hugging Fu Xuan's leg.
Based on that, Asta clearly knew what he looked like, aning she knew the identity of that "Mr. Cold Feet."
And now she was using the "Mr. Cold Feet" photo to ask in the group. Wasn't that just testing him?
If the others found out he was "Mr. Cold Feet"... his situation would beco dangerous.
And if so bastard told her his exact location too…
"I can already picture Herta sitting on top of …" Levi muttered to himself.
'That definitely isn't a good thing…'
'Well...from a certain point of view maybe it is a good thing…'
'But overall it isn't a good thing.'
'...Or maybe it is.'
Smack!
He gave himself a slap, finally calming his thoughts. Then Levi continued planning in the group to dispel Asta's doubts.
Casually using technology, he created a photo and sent it into the chat group.
He also replaced his profile picture with the man from the photo.
[Levi: @Asta, this is what I actually look like. If you ever co to the Luofu to visit, don't mistake .]
Elysia looked at the man in the photo, who had golden hair like Lumine, erald green eyes, and a confident smile.
She tilted her head.
'Where did Levi find this photo?'
'And this image… clearly a bright sunny smile, so why is it giving a very scheming feeling?'
At the sa ti, she was also curious why Levi was going to such lengths to avoid telling Asta his real appearance.
'Could there be a story behind this?'
The mont she thought of the word story, countless lodramatic plots from novels instantly filled Elysia's mind.
So dramatic that even she couldn't help but shiver.
[Asta: Uh...]
She felt like this didn't seem like Levi. The image seriously didn't match his way of speaking.
[Levi: Ever heard of soone being secretly flamboyant? Anyway, when you co to the Luofu soday, rember to punch in the face when you see .]
[Asta: ?]
'What kind of strange request is that?'
[Levi: I'm Otto! That's just what I like!]
[Levi: Oh right, Otto Apocalypse, that's my hotown na. Rakshasa man is a nickna others gave . They usually call that, and I quite like it!]
At this mont, the others could also tell Levi was setting soone up again.
Last ti it wa Mr. Yang, now it was so guy nad Otto.
The people he knew were really blessed.
Before they even realized it, they would end up taking the bla for him.
Thinking about how he usually acted in the group, Asta only found it a bit strange but didn't think too deeply about it.
After all, given Levi's image in the group, him saying this didn't feel out of place at all. It felt completely normal.
"Otto Apocalypse… Rakshasa man…"
"…Punch him…?"
For so unknown reason, Kiana had kept the chat group open after going back.
Otherwise, seeing what Levi said, she definitely would have jumped out to refute him.
She wasn't afraid of Levi's threats.
And she also knew exactly who Otto was.
It could be said that in St. Freya Academy, there wasn't a single person who didn't know that na.
That was the boss of all their Valkyries, the Archbishop of Schicksal.
At the sa ti, he was also her aunt Theresa's grandfather.
Speaking of which, she hadn't realized her background was actually this powerful.
No wonder she had been so arrogant during the last assessnt and no one dared co trouble her.
"Kiana, what are you thinking about? Co talk to your dear aunt properly."
Looking at Theresa speaking softly in front of her, Kiana swallowed. "Well…"
———
At Herta Space Station, Asta looked at the photo on her phone. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seed.
She felt like she had seen him sowhere before.
"But where…"
Resting her head in her hand, Asta kept thinking, but still couldn't rember where she had seen him.
"..."
