Chapter 137: “Samoyed”
Bai Yan looked at the stunning beauty before him. There was no doubt that she was an alluring figure, radiating a charisma of 10, making it nearly impossible for anyone to wish harm upon her.
Except for him, of course.
His hands, not particularly strong, slowly balled into fists, applying pressure.
“Wu.”
Merete Chambers’ exquisite face showed disbelief as she reached out to touch Bai Yan’s palm, gently tapping it to signal him to loosen his grip.
However, Bai Yan ignored her completely, tightening his hold around her delicate neck as though he truly meant to kill her.
“Wu, wuwu! Wu!”
She struggled to rise, repeatedly hitting Bai Yan’s chest with her hands, trying to grab his face, but it was all for naught.
A look of desperation and regret crossed her face.
Slowly, Merete Chambers seemed to be suffocating…
“Is this fun for you?” Bai Yan raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with curiosity.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
Merete Chambers’ expression returned to calm as she smiled.
Despite being choked, there was no sign of pain in her eyes; instead, she wore a composed smile.
“As a woman like you, a monster, even if your uterus is ripped out, you could still function well, couldn’t you?”
Bai Yan shook his head, released his grip, and began to turn away.
“You should head home and enjoy yourself. I’ll take my leave now.”
He had to admit, sometimes it was quite interesting toying with Miss Witch.
Especially watching someone so overconfident lose their composure. It brought an unexpected thrill.
However, that wasn’t his primary concern right now.
Bai Yan shook his head again.
Even if Miss Witch betrayed the Demon Hunt Agency now, it wouldn’t affect him much. His newfound strength made him less intimidated by her.
Yes, the increase in power had already shifted the balance.
After “Nightsaber” underwent hyper-evolution, she had gained the immense strength of the Potential Crown. Moreover, Bai Yan could now integrate the abilities of Core Operators through “Power Possession.”
Though he hadn’t engaged in a real battle yet, he felt confident enough to challenge an actual “Crown” level expert.
With the ability to summon Operators for help at any time, plus the option to hide inside the Babel Tower, Bai Yan wasn’t concerned about whatever the “Moon Witch” might attempt against him.
Let her have her fun.
Given Miss Witch’s true intentions, Bai Yan was certain she wouldn’t harm those around her or “trap” them.
After all, as a suspected member of the “Babel Tower,” he was considered a future teammate in her plans.
Out of self-interest, she couldn’t afford to antagonize him.
After Bai Yan departed, Merete Chambers remained motionless for some time before finally shaking her head and smiling.
“Bai Yan, you carry many secrets.”
“You’ve always acted without fear; perhaps you have the favor of the master of Babel Tower?”
Could it be that Babel Tower’s owner has a preference for men?
She returned to the bathroom, pulling out a white book from her pocket. This wasn’t the “Book of Concealment,” but an entirely different one—almost like a diary.
Opening it, she calmly began flipping through the pages.
The book contained accounts of various individuals—high achievers from different fields, all with rich and diverse life experiences.
Among them were a few transcendents, individuals who had reached the awakening level.
The diary chronicled the stories of dozens of such people. After deliberating, she selected a page and carefully tore it out with her delicate fingers.
“Manifest.”
Soon, the piece of paper twisted, its golden threads of light dancing around and slowly forming a living person.
It was a girl with delicate features, probably around 15 or 16 years old, with short white hair.
Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were tightly shut.
She was blind.
Though it was autumn, she wore a thick white winter jacket and a small black snake pendant around her neck.
“My master, what are your instructions?”
The blind girl knelt before her, her expression indifferent as she lowered her head.
Merete Chambers said, “I need you to help me investigate something right away. The specific summoning and counter methods for the demon lord ‘Sburnak.’ It shouldn’t be too challenging for you, a former demon expert.”
Merete Chambers extended her hand, and the kneeling girl hesitated briefly before gently touching her master’s palm.
Merete Chambers smiled.
“Be cautious and don’t play around, ‘Samoyed’… Even though years have passed, the Demon Hunt Agency still has a warrant out for you.”
“It’s been that long?”
“Samoyed” appeared stunned, slowly standing up, and hesitated, “Can I go and take a look…?”
Merete Chambers pulled her into an embrace, gently stroking her hair.
Although Samoyed’s white jacket was bulky, her frame was actually petite and slender.
“No, no, ‘Samoyed,’ I’ve told you, you’re still wanted.”
“Hmm.”
Samoyed’s mood visibly sank.
Merete Chambers suddenly said, “But if you complete my task perfectly… perhaps, your situation could improve.”
The expression on “Samoyed’s” face brightened instantly.
“Thank you… or rather, thank you, Master.”
When Bai Yan returned home, it was already quite late.
After thinking for a moment, he decided against cooking dinner and instead used “Cybertyrant’s” power to order take-out on his way back.
By the time he got home, the food had arrived.
He ate while browsing the new log intelligence.
“Logs intelligence of Core Operator · Nightsaber.”
“After mastering powerful force, gave up Flow of the Heart and continued practicing swordsmanship, Skill increased by 1.”
“Constantly breaking practice weapons, Mood decreased by 1.”
Opening the video, Mu Ling was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Her new weapon couldn’t handle the intensity of her movements, soon showing cracks before ultimately breaking apart.
It was, after all, only designed for human use.
At this point, Bai Yan paused in thought. He needed to find a better weapon for Mu Ling.
Her strength was too much for regular metal weapons, and even some “Relics” wouldn’t hold up long.
“If only you’d trained in martial arts. Your fists are harder than alloy now.”
It was a joke, but if Mu Ling had a stronger weapon, it would definitely give her an advantage.
“Core Operator · Psychic Dancer’s log intel.”
“Practicing the use of ‘psychic power,’ Skill +1.”
“Manipulated a passerby uncle to buy me ice cream, Mood +1.”
“Attended first-year junior high school at a nearby school, regretted the past, felt upset, Mood -1.”
She no longer slacked off like before. That was good.
“As long as you’re willing to repent, you can still be a good classmate. The next time I revive you, I won’t hesitate for five, six, seven, or eight seconds.”
Bai Yan shook his head slightly.
Would she really go to school?
Could it be that, deep inside, she still had such a small wish?
Bai Yan silently concluded that it made sense, given her past.
“Intelligence report from Core Operator Mysterious Magic’s log.”
“Thinking about Bai Yan’s upcoming birthday, having trouble deciding what to give him.”
“Caught two Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices and handed them over to the Adjudication Section.”
“Saved over ten children imprisoned by the black wizard, legendary points increased by 20.”
His birthday was approaching?
Bai Yan paused, then remembered it was indeed true.
He always forgot his own birthday, but Alan always found a way to surprise him… well, no one else ever remembered.
But in the end, it didn’t matter.
“Intelligence report from Core Operator Cybertyrant’s log.”
“Recruited the third top-level hacker into the ‘Paradox’ organization, legendary points +30.”
“Stayed up late reading ten adult comics, three sensual novels, Mood +1.”
“Mobilized clean funds for a charity, Mood +1.”
Even the behavior of subordinate organizations added legendary points, just like in the first playthrough.
At this point, many aspects of “Babel Tower” had changed compared to the first playthrough, so Bai Yan had to be more cautious.
Legend Points and Source Energy Points had a one-to-one ratio. Bai Yan checked and, combining the Source Energy Points obtained today and from the past few days, he had enough for ten consecutive summons.
Yay!
Bai Yan wasn’t surprised by “Cybertyrant’s” behavior in the log.
Ah, this was known from the first playthrough. It was her way of relieving stress.
A severe enthusiast.
People have their own unique preferences, no need to be surprised, especially those from that kind of environment. Bai Yan could fully understand…
At least, her mindset was more balanced than some other pleasure-seeking operators.
“Some new infrastructure has been unlocked, should I focus on that first?”
“Forget it, next time. This time I still want to summon…”
After finishing his meal, Bai Yan grew too lazy to clean up the takeaway remnants, so he used “Mysterious Magic” to transport the trash away.
He smiled sincerely.
“Hmm, this really is a useful power. Compared to others, they don’t stand a chance in these situations.”
Heading out of his room, Bai Yan made his way to a secluded area in Tatsumi City and entered Babel Tower.
Sitting on the crystal throne, he took a deep breath.
“Next up, it’s summon time!”
Last time, he drew from the “Different Dimensions” pool. This time, the focus was on “Destiny.”
