With a roll of her eyes, Trailblazer finally collapsed to the side. Just as she was about to hit the ground, the 'woman' swiftly moved to catch her, carefully scooping her up in a princess carry.
"What do we do now?"
Sparkle ca over to glance at the Trailblazer nestled in Fu Zhu's arms, then asked.
"Let's go."
Fu Zhu equipped his Elytra and, holding Trailblazer, flew directly into the sky, leaving Sparkle standing alone and stunned on the ground.
"Hey!"
Sparkle stomped her foot on the ground in frustration. "You never take with you! Honestly!"
Pouting, Sparkle had no choice but to leave the cri scene on her own and head back to their old eting spot to rendezvous with Fu Zhu. By the ti she returned to the rooftop, Fu Zhu was already there waiting with Trailblazer in his arms. Silver Wolf was there as well.
Seeing Sparkle had returned, Fu Zhu turned his head to Silver Wolf and asked, "You've seen the script, right? What do I need to do next?"
Silver Wolf glanced at the Trailblazer in Fu Zhu's arms and sighed. "So you do rember there's a script... Elio is about to have a ltdown because of you. As long as you're involved, the script will never proceed according to its original design. So, Elio has changed his strategy. He now selects a suitable script based on your actions. That ans I can't give you a precise 'script' either."
After hearing this, Fu Zhu shook his head in disappointnt. "This Slave of Destiny is pretty useless, isn't he? He can't even provide a single script. Does this an I have to plan Firefly's next two deaths myself?"
"That's right. However... her current condition is not very good." Silver Wolf hesitated for a mont, then asked Fu Zhu tentatively, "Fu Zhu, could you help take a look at her? I rember you have the ability to heal people."
Hearing that Silver Wolf wanted him to work extra overti, Fu Zhu imdiately replied with displeasure, "That cos with an extra charge. Healing Firefly wasn't part of our agreed-upon content."
"I know, but I'll pay!"
Silver Wolf threw caution to the wind. At worst, she would just sell a few of her ga accounts for the money later. Although it pained her, it was all worth it if it ant healing Firefly. Besides, if she did this, she could guilt-trip Firefly into playing gas with her later!
It was a perfect plan!
"Fine."
Seeing that Silver Wolf was willing to pay the price, Fu Zhu agreed. However, the fact that he didn't even ntion what the paynt would be made Silver Wolf a little surprised.
"Fu Zhu, aren't you going to state a price first? Or what you want to do?"
"We'll talk later. I want to see for myself what's wrong with Firefly that has my partner here so worried. Your concern gives the feeling she could die at any mont."
"She... she really could die at any mont... you'll know when you see her."
"Alright. But before that, I need to make arrangents for Xing."
Fu Zhu gently placed Trailblazer down to the side, then looked over at the idle Sparkle.
"Sparkle, help watch Xing. If anything happens to her, you can expect your butt to be blooming."
Sparkle stared with wide, incredulous eyes. "Is that any way to ask for a favor?"
"I've never asked anyone for a favor, so how would I know what attitude to use? Besides, this is the first ti I'm asking you for a favor. You should feel honored."
"...So shaless."
"Thank you for the complint."
Although he had Sparkle watching over her, the fact that she was a Masked Fool still left Fu Zhu feeling uneasy. So, he took out Trailblazer's phone, pressed the distress button, and sent a signal to Welt and the others. He believed that the mont they received the signal, they would co rushing over. Only when they found Trailblazer could he truly be at ease.
After taking care of everything, Silver Wolf finally spoke to Fu Zhu. "Back to the real world. I'll co find you in your room."
"Got it."
Fu Zhu decisively took off all his armor, then simply jumped off the rooftop to his death.
The next second, Fu Zhu woke up in his hotel room in the real world. After sitting on the bed for a mont, there was a knock on the door.
Fu Zhu walked over and opened it. Standing outside was Silver Wolf herself. She nodded at Fu Zhu and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to Firefly. Because of our identities, I secretly hacked into the hotel's system and created a fake identity for her."
"Then let's go."
Fu Zhu followed behind Silver Wolf. Watching her lead the way, he suddenly realized what kind of paynt he wanted.
"Silver Wolf, how about you beco my assistant? That'll be the paynt."
---o---
Walking ahead of him, Silver Wolf suddenly stumbled upon hearing Fu Zhu's words. She turned around with a horrified look, clutching her chest. "Are credits not enough for you? You actually want my body? Don't you dislike small ones?!"
Fu Zhu rolled his eyes, his face lined with exasperation. "Did you misunderstand sothing? I need your hacking skills, not your barren figure."
Silver Wolf opened her mouth to speak. While she was a little relieved, she also felt a bit slighted. She was relieved that Fu Zhu wasn't after her, but slighted that a beautiful young girl like herself could be so disdainfully rejected by a man!
"So? Do you agree?"
Fu Zhu was looking forward to it. After working with her these few tis, he had discovered that having an assistant like Silver Wolf would make everything much more convenient.
Although the MC System's abilities were heaven-defying, most of them required him to do things by hand, which was undoubtedly very troubleso.
Take the incident where Silver Wolf hacked the amusent park's lights. If Fu Zhu wanted to achieve the sa effect, he would first have to use Redstone to forcefully seize control of the park's system. Just that step alone would require him to physically find the park's system, unlike Silver Wolf who could just hack it remotely.
If he had Silver Wolf's help, things would be much easier in the future. He could even have her help design so Redstone contraptions.
"Well..."
Silver Wolf shook her head with so difficulty. "Sorry, Fu Zhu, I'm afraid I can't agree to that. I'm a Stellaron Hunter, after all. While our goals are aligned, Elio often has work for to do. I can't just be waiting for your instructions all the ti. So, I'm sorry. However, if you're looking for an assistant like , I can recomnd a good candidate. And with your abilities, if you can solve his problem, you might just be able to directly recruit a mber of the Genius Society as your subordinate."
"Oh?"
Fu Zhu's interest was instantly piqued. Soone like Silver Wolf wasn't even a mber of the Genius Society. A mber of the Genius Society would have heaven-defying intellect on par with Herta. This was a much better deal than recruiting Silver Wolf.
"Tell more."
"He's a genius who's been trapped in the world of the beautiful dream by The Company and The Family."
