Chapter 69 Shiina's Scent of Sweat
"Is it resolved?"
Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina walked towards Natsuo and asked uncertainly.
"Is it done? If it's still not dead, then we can consider staying up all night on Friday." Xia Sheng threw down the stick and said jokingly.
"Should I stay up all night on Friday? I wonder what will happen." Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
"Let's forget about it," Xia Sheng interrupted her thoughts.
"If we stay up all night, there's a high chance no one will stop us. If an intruder succeeds, who knows how dangerous it could be."
"That's true..."
"But we can't be of much help now, so it's better to stay up all night and not be a burden to you," Shiina Mahiru said helplessly, pointing out the situation.
"That won't do," Xia Sheng refused sternly.
Why?
"What if you don't come on Friday night and are summoned at another time? What if I'm not with you? That would only be more dangerous," Xia Sheng said sternly.
"That's true. Without you, Natsuo, we would only be in more danger." Shiina Mahiru nodded.
"I'll stay with you; I hope I won't be a burden to you."
"Definitely not," Xia Sheng firmly believed.
If transmitting them all to the world is truly useless, then there's no point in protecting this world.
It's impossible for him to do it alone.
He probably just hadn't found a way to equip them with the skills to deal with intruders.
"Perhaps, we can give it a try," Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly said.
"Try what?"
"Let's try... to see if I can use a special ability through you." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Natsuo calmly.
"How do I try?"
"Try the methods in those novels, it won't work no matter what... If we don't try, we'll never accomplish anything."
"I agree, I don't want to become a burden," Shiina Mahiru added.
"Shall we get together again tomorrow?"
"Yes, we need to hurry. If there's a second level, there's bound to be a third. There will definitely be intruders that you, Natsuo, can't handle alone. We have to help out. That's probably the mission we came here for," Yukino Yukinoshita guessed.
"Okay, but we can't do it at a family restaurant, can we? There doesn't seem to be a suitable place..."
"My house is too small." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head.
"Then..." Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru exchanged a glance and nodded.
Come to my house.
"Your place? Is everything alright?"
"It's okay, my house is quite big, and I live alone." Xia Sheng smiled.
"Alright, let's go to your place then. We'll meet at your place tomorrow," Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and made her decision.
"Can."
[Successfully eliminated the second layer of intruders, rewarding one special attribute point.]
Ok?
Are we finally getting special attributes as rewards?
Xia Sheng did not hesitate and directly increased the special attribute from three points to four points.
Inside his body, he could clearly feel that the special energy had grown much stronger.
He then added the attribute points from the first level of reward to his strength.
His strength was running out; even a powerful punch couldn't defeat the goblin.
Goblins aren't that thick-skinned.
This is just one.
There will definitely be two, three... or even a Goblin King in the future.
Strength is very important now.
"It's time to leave," Shiina Mahiru whispered a reminder.
"Hmm." Xia Sheng looked down at the two people's blurred legs, then looked at his own.
His legs were also blurring.
He left this time too.
"See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow."
......
When Xia Sheng woke up in the morning, his head felt a little throbbing, as if he had stayed up all night and hadn't slept well.
He didn't sleep well; going to that place wouldn't affect his sleep.
It's because he has a lot more knowledge about fighting techniques, including skills and experience.
Only after leaving that place did I truly digest and master the fighting techniques I had been rewarded with.
He became a fighting master.
Now, he no longer needs to worry about Sakurajima Mai coming to find him at school, or others causing him trouble out of jealousy or possessiveness.
Even athletes aren't afraid.
Xia Sheng is not one to back down from trouble; if you provoke him, he will never remain silent.
He came into this world as its savior, not to be wronged.
After his mind adjusted, Natsumi got up and left the room. He quickly washed up and went to call Shiina Mahiru to go for a morning run together.
The two didn't talk about what happened last night. After running quietly for more than half an hour, they walked slowly for a while and then came back together.
"Do you need me to make extra breakfast?" On the way, Shiina Mahiru turned her head to look at Natsuo and asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Xia Sheng nodded immediately.
"That's really direct... Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Can I order food?" Xia Sheng asked in surprise.
Consider this a reward for your concern for us last night.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. If possible, please make a little more."
"You... are you referring to the situation from that day again?" Shiina Mahiru asked seriously.
"I estimate so."
"Take it and go back quickly!"
After taking the elevator upstairs, Shiina Mahiru didn't dare to delay and went straight home to cook.
When Xia Sheng got home, he had just taken out the snacks when his stomach started rumbling and his stomach began to move.
His body reacted and needed to adapt to the new energy.
A feeling of hunger suddenly surged into his brain, and Xia Sheng wished he could eat anything.
He immediately started stuffing snacks into his mouth: chocolate chips, beef jerky, biscuits, bread... He kept tearing open packaging bags with his hands and chewing non-stop.
This time, being prepared, Xia Sheng felt nothing except for hunger.
The feeling of being completely weak and starving that I experienced last time did not happen again.
This time, his special attribute increased by two points, so his hunger was naturally much stronger than last time, and he ate all the snacks he bought.
But that's still not enough.
Fortunately, at that moment, Shiina Mahiru arrived with a large plate of fried chicken nuggets, golden, steaming hot, and smelling delicious.
"Have something to eat first, I'm still making the rest."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
After Xia Sheng finished speaking, he didn't even use chopsticks. He grabbed the fried chicken pieces with his hands and put them into his mouth, stuffing his mouth full.
The fried chicken nuggets weren't hot; the temperature was just right. Shiina Mahiru had cooled them down beforehand with a fan.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, and don't forget to drink water," Shiina Mahiru reminded her worriedly before going back inside.
Xia Sheng continued to swallow the information whole.
After that, Shiina Mahiru kept bringing him food: rice, stewed meat, fried fish, stir-fried vegetables... and he ate it all up.
This was the amount of food that could feed countless people, but Xia Sheng ate it all without his stomach showing any change.
Special energy is helping him digest and absorb nutrients.
Half an hour later, Xia Sheng finally stopped feeling hungry and leaned back on the sofa contentedly.
"Are you full? Are you all right?" Shiina Mahiru asked, still a little worried, as she cleared away the dishes.
"Yes, it's all settled now, thank you." Natsuo looked at Shiina Mahiru and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
There was a lot of sweat on her delicate, fair face.
"That's good." Shiina Mahiru was relieved.
"Let me help you." Xia Sheng stood up.
"Sit down. You've eaten so much, you should rest. There might be something else going on." Shiina Mahiru nudged him back onto the sofa with her shoulder.
"It should be fine now, and you haven't had breakfast yet." Xia Sheng got up to help again.
"I'm not in a hurry, there's still time to eat. You should take a shower and get ready, Yukinoshita and the others will be here soon."
"Are you sure you don't need any help?"
"No need. I wasn't able to help last night, so it's good that I can now." Shiina Mahiru looked at Natsuo and smiled contentedly.
She also felt helpless because she couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright," Xia Sheng said, no longer standing on ceremony.
"Okay, go take a shower quickly, you smell all sweaty."
"No way...aren't you covered in sweat too?" Xia Sheng couldn't help but retort.
He had been smelling a faint, pleasant fragrance, distinct from the aroma of food.
"..." Shiina Mahiru fell silent, then quickly finished packing and turned to leave.
"Hehe~"
Watching Shiina Mahiru's hasty retreat, Natsuo shook his head and chuckled.
