Chapter 4 Rejection(1/2)
"How dare she!"
"Simon doesn't even have a formal rank. Invite him? It's just disgusting for us, right?"
"This is a provocation to the white fruit!"
The people in the White Fruit Adventure Group could no longer sit still and stood up to protest.
The man in red rose also stood up, and the situation became tense.
Simon sat in the spotlight, and everyone was waiting for his answer.
Phil was wearing a black dress, and a pair of ice cream cones were dangling aimlessly at his feet, for fear that he wouldn't notice.
Simon was unhappy about this.
The woman in front of him did not invite him sincerely, but for the purpose of disgusting her sister.
To be honest, even if the other party is the largest group in the town, this is not what attracts him.
"Miss Phil, please respect yourself. I have no intention of joining the team at the moment."
After finishing speaking, expressions of disappointment flashed across the faces of the melon-eaters.
They just wanted to see rivers of blood, but they didn't expect Simon to be so dishonest.
When the members of the original adventure group heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief. The face of their own adventure group was saved, and they immediately sat down again.
After all, Captain Mei Guo is not at the scene, so it is better not to make a fuss, as the opponent is not weak.
"Why bother? It's not like no one wants you." Phil didn't understand. Her adventure group was not weak. Many people couldn't get in even if they squeezed their heads.
Simon shook his head and did not explain any more. Instead, he stood up and left the table without giving her another chance to win over.
Phil stayed where he was with a surprised expression. He didn't expect Simon to look down on her team.
Why should he?
At best, it is just a very functional auxiliary. If you really want to be an auxiliary core, you have to have a core skill that cannot be replaced by your peers.
But when she thought about it, it made sense.
Because there was no sign of admiration for her on Simon's face, nor did he mean to be inferior to her. Instead, he kept talking to her as an equal.
As calm and composed as he is, he must have a complete plan in mind and will not change his mind just because of her invitation.
What kind of plan can compare to an invitation from a red rose?
She suddenly became interested in him.
"Really, don't you want to think about it again?"
This time, Phil was serious.
She wanted to see how calm this guy was.
…
When the members of the White Fruit Adventure Group returned to their base, there were still people talking about Phil and Simon in the tavern.
Although Simon only sat in the pub for a minute or two and had very little worth saying, it was still worthy of their repeated complaints hundreds of times.
After repeatedly complaining about Simon, they began to recall Simon's time in the team.
Every high-intensity strategy will always bring endless fatigue.
Now that there is no one around, I suddenly feel too relaxed. I don’t know how I will get through tomorrow.
"That guy Simon seems a little uncomfortable after he really left. What will be the strategy for the future?"
"The team leader should recruit new assistants. Besides, isn't this something everyone has been waiting for for a long time? Why do you regret it now?"
"Hey, don't tell Xiao Qian about this."
"I know……"
While these people were talking, they saw a half-real and half-real transparent figure with silver hair and wearing a black and white maid dress, floating in the shadow of the corner in front, looking at everyone with wide eyes.
"What can't you tell me?"
The cold breath hit their faces, everyone's pores shrank and they trembled slightly.
Those dark blue eye holes make people feel like they have fallen into an ice cellar. They subconsciously recognized the face and looked guilty.
"Um?"
The group leader Mei Guo woke up. She didn't wake up naturally, but was stimulated by the sudden cold.
"Why did I fall asleep here?"
When she woke up, she found that she was not in her bedroom, but sleeping on her stomach in the study on the second floor.
Looking at the paper manuscripts all over the table, with all kinds of complicated lines, words, and patterns, she felt dizzy and simply refused to read the information left by Simon.
Just looking at these things gives her a headache.
Apart from Simon, can anyone really understand these things?
This guy...
I forced him to leave, and he did.
Doesn't he miss the White Fruit Adventure Group at all?
The oath we made together, the promise to take everyone on an adventure in a mythical dungeon, is now gone alone.
It turned out that he didn't have this team in mind at all.
I didn't expect this kind of person.
You must know that Simon has not yet been promoted to a formal rank.
Compared to my sister's full-time assistant, I naturally have one less skill.
As far as she is concerned, without a powerful professional skill, it is really difficult to move forward in battle, and it is difficult to maintain the health of her teammates in a high-pressure environment.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, as a trainee assistant, isn't Simon's actual situation more difficult than hers?
In order to make up for the gap in ranks, Simon must spend more effort leading the team, which is obviously unnecessary.
After all, there is no need to delay something that can be done with multiple skills.
To be honest, Simon's upper limit may really be this.
The members of the same team have all been promoted, but he is still where he is.
This is no longer something that can be accomplished through hard work, but is limited by one's own talent.
At times like this, you have to rely on extreme pressure to break through the limitations of your talent.
Her intention was good, she just wanted to put more pressure on him, and maybe Simon would break through.
Mei Guo kept making excuses for herself.
Talk about why the temperature is so cold today.
No, this is...
"Who made Xiao Qian angry again?"
She muttered, stood up, opened the door, and saw her teammates in the corridor and Xiao Qian floating in the air.
"What's going on you guys, what happened--"
…
Simon didn't know anything about the original team. He had just settled in the hotel, lying on the bed and looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, pondering the current situation.
The dungeons in this world are scattered everywhere, some only have six floors, and some are as deep as thirty floors.
Generally speaking, the deeper the dungeon, the richer the resources and the stronger the monsters.
It is said that at the end of the far east, there is a mythical dungeon with a depth of a hundred floors. It is said to be the place where the gods return to ruins, and it hides the secret of becoming a god.
The current underground city in the town is only ten floors deep. It is considered an ordinary underground city and is far less dangerous than the Mythical Forbidden City.
Ever since he learned that all the adventurers in the world became stronger by fighting monsters, he wanted to bring a group of friends with dreams to defeat enemies together and step into the mythical restricted area to get a closer look.
He wanted to use the power of gods to find out the secret of his own time travel and see if it was possible to take this opportunity to return home.
After all, his biological parents are on the other side of the earth, so he should go back and visit them anyway.
I don't know how sad they will be because of his disappearance.
Of course, the above are only long-term goals.
At this stage, we should still focus on the present and spend our rest time thinking about how to advance to a formal rank.
He closed his eyes and meditated quietly. Slowly, he entered the dim sea of consciousness and saw layers of blue fluorescence washing up on the beach with the waves.
Above the sea of consciousness, there is a starry sky, dotted with stars, among which two bright stars hang high.
Every time a star lights up, it means that he has understood a professional skill.
The assistants in the formal ranks have all lit up three stars, and now he still has one star left before he can advance to the formal ranks.
To be continued...
