Chapter 324: Meeting the Informant

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

"Miss Yun?"

Inside the room, Brenna, who had just taken off her top, looked at her with a look of surprise, not knowing what business Yun Mu had with her at this hour.

At this moment, she was wearing only a set of pale purple lingerie, revealing her slender arms and the legs usually hidden beneath white silk stockings.

Although a Mechanic is not a profession specialized in melee combat, as a Transcendental, one's physical fitness naturally wouldn't be too poor.

On Brenna's abdomen, two abdominal lines could be clearly seen.

Cute!

She loved healthy young girls the most! "Oh my, I really didn't expect that Princess's lingerie would be this color~" Yun Mu said, looking at Brenna with a bit of teasing.

"Ugh!" Hearing her words, Brenna reacted immediately, her face turning bright red: "It, it's not my fault, you, you..."

She held her breath for a long while but couldn't get the rest of the words out. Finally, Brenna used the pajamas in her hand to block her front: "Anyway, you're not allowed to peek!"

"Nonsense!" Yun Mu said with her hands on her hips righteously: "Where was I peeking?"

She was clearly looking openly, okay? "Mmm—" Brenna pouted and pushed Yun Mu out of the room: "Anyway, you're not allowed to look!"

"Miss Yun is a bad person!"

With a muffled "bang," the room door was closed by Brenna.

"... It's not like I haven't seen it before, what are you shy about." Looking at the tightly shut door in front of her, Yun Mu scratched her cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Hmph!"

A soft huff from Brenna came from inside the door. Before long, Yun Mu heard a rustling sound of dressing, and the door was opened once again.

"Speak, what do you need me for?" Brenna said, looking at her while wearing a set of light blue star-patterned pajamas.

"That..." When it came to the crucial moment, Yun Mu felt a bit embarrassed instead.

How should she say it?

Become my Partner, Miss Brenna! Would shouting it out like that seem more imposing... "Hmph, come in first." Seeing her tangled expression, Brenna stepped aside and said.

"Right." She suddenly thought of something, turned around and said: "Remember to knock next time you come, and you're not allowed to pick the lock!"

"Mm-hmm, I definitely won't!"

Yun Mu nodded quickly in agreement.

Actually, she hadn't intended to pick the lock originally; it was just because of the effect of the trait 【Touch of Unlocking】, she touched it, and the door lock unlocked automatically.

But it was better not to tell Brenna about this.

Thinking this, Yun Mu walked into the room and subconsciously began to observe.

It was no different from her own room. Thinking about it, they were both standard rooms in the embassy, so what difference could there be?

"Speak, what exactly is the matter?"

Brenna led Yun Mu to sit on the sofa in the center of the room and asked, looking at her.

"It's a very important matter!" Yun Mu solemnly held up a finger.

"A very important matter?" Brenna looked at her serious expression, and not knowing what she thought of, her face suddenly flushed red, and she said with some bashfulness: "D-do we really have to talk about it here?"

Huh? Why are you blushing like a teapot?

Yun Mu looked at Brenna with a puzzled expression, not knowing what she had thought of.

However, seeing her like this, Yun Mu couldn't help but feel a little nervous herself.

"Well, actually, it doesn't have to be said right now."

"If you mind, Brenna, we can wait until tomorrow morning..."

"No! No way!" Her words were interrupted by Brenna: "You can say it now!"

"I, I see..." Startled by Brenna's sudden reaction, Yun Mu took the 【Partner Recruitment Ticket】 from her bosom and placed it in front of them both.

"It's complicated to explain in detail, that... I mean, Miss Brenna, can I invite you to become my true Partner?"

"I'm willing—wait, a true Partner?" Brenna first agreed with a bright red face, then realized something was wrong.

Yun Mu was just about to reply, but who would have thought that the invitation on the tabletop would suddenly burst into dazzling radiance, illuminating the entire room in the embassy in the blink of an eye!

Fortunately, the curtains here had long been drawn by Brenna, otherwise, this light might have been noticed by people outside.

Well, although Yun Mu felt that even if someone noticed, it probably wouldn't matter.

【You have invited the Third Princess of the Frost Kingdom — 【Brenna Saierliya lv50 (Expert)】】 【Invitation successful!】 【Name: Brenna Saierliya (Third Princess of the Frost Kingdom · Expert Mechanic) Level: lv50 (Expert) Race: Frost Person Age: 16 Max HP: 85 Attack: 44 Spell Strength: 61 Defense: 16 Resilience: 8 Dodge: 42 Speed: 24 Precision Correction: 60 Critical Hit: 22% Traits: Mechanical Affinity, Repair Expert, Absolute Focus, R&D Expert, Inspiration Explosion, Adrenaline, Mechanical Repair Mastery, Mecha Piloting Mastery... Skills: Overload, High-Efficiency Endurance, Automatic Repair, Full Firepower, Emergency Repair, Airborne Troops, Firepower Coverage...】 Is this Brenna's stats?

A series of message notifications popped up in her mind, and Yun Mu thought as she looked at the text content above.

It was the same level as hers, both lv50, but the gap in their stats... was a bit too huge.

Without counting equipment, Yun Mu's stats were already more than double Brenna's.

Is this the extra stat bonus brought by stacking multiple Paths?

Compared to normal Transcendental, it was really a bit too BUG-like.

She was the type of person who never liked using cheats or bugs when playing games, but in the current situation—it was truly satisfying.

Cheating is fun for a moment, and cheating forever is always fun. A life of cheating is just that wonderful.

"Ugh, what's going on? A lot of information has appeared in my mind." At the same time, in the real world, Brenna, sitting opposite Yun Mu, looked like she had a headache and frowned.

"Game Dungeon... Battle Upgrade, Partner Area, Path... So these are Miss Yun's secrets?" While receiving the information in her mind, she whispered and analyzed.

"Phew."

After a long while, Brenna exhaled lightly. She looked at Yun Mu with a serious expression: "I have a general understanding of the matter, so..."

The expression on her face gradually softened and finally turned into a gentle smile: "I am very happy to be your Partner, Miss Yun!"

Facing the current situation, Yun Mu wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and couldn't think of what to say.

The many drafts she had in her heart hadn't even been confirmed before she crumpled them into a ball, tore them up, and threw them into the trash can.

In the end, she said nothing and just nodded vigorously.

"Mm!"

Heral Calendar year 4243, November 22nd, Monday.

It was a new week, and also the second day since Yun Mu and the others arrived at the Federal Capital.

After hurriedly finishing breakfast at the embassy, the group planned to go contact that informant from the Frost Kingdom.

Regarding this, Yun Mu was actually somewhat puzzled.

Before the group set off, she asked Brenna: "Must we really find that informant? Aren't there many Frost People in the embassy as well?"

"The person in charge of this embassy—"

"Even the person in charge of the embassy might not necessarily know much intelligence," Brenna interrupted her, answering: "What I need is important information regarding Human Body Modification and artificial organ transplantation."

"For things like this, does Miss Yun think the conglomerates of the Federation would be willing to let outsiders browse them at will?"

"That is, of course, impossible..." Yun Mu replied, following her line of thought.

"Exactly," Brenna nodded: "Professional matters should naturally be handled by professional people."

"That person in charge might be very savvy in politics, but he does not necessarily have the intelligence we need."

So that is why we must find that informant... Yun Mu thought, lost in thought.

Come to think of it, an informant... is actually a spy, right! To operate within the Federation, they should at least be a Beastkin.

Or could it be that, like her, they are a Transcendental of some Beast Path? Yun Mu felt a bit curious inside.

She began to look forward to meeting that informant.

"Welcome to the bus. Please use your eyes or Personal Terminal to scan the code to log in."

Boarding the long, strip-shaped Magic Energy bus shuttling through the city, Yun Mu heard the broadcast announcement in her ears.

She was actually quite familiar with this kind of code-scanning payment before she transmigrated.

Picking up her Personal Terminal, Yun Mu began to search for the function related to scanning codes.

However, for some reason, she searched for a long time but could not find where the code-scanning function was no matter what.

Just at this moment, a sound of a successful scan came from beside her.

Yun Mu turned her head to look and discovered that Lita had just finished scanning.

"Eh, Lita, how did you—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lita holding her Personal Terminal, pointing out a line of something resembling a product barcode on the back for her to see.

"Oh—so it's here!" Yun Mu suddenly realized; she had been deceived by her experience before transmigrating. Scanning codes in this other world did not require operating within the Personal Terminal at all.

One only needed to show the icon on the back of the Personal Terminal cover to the machine.

As for safety and privacy... because most locals use the method of scanning their pupils rather than using a Personal Terminal.

It was actually unexpectedly quite reliable.

"Come to think of it, does the Frost Kingdom not plan to set up some bus stops?" Sitting on the seats at the back of the bus, Yun Mu observed the environment inside the vehicle and asked Brenna beside her.

The Frost Kingdom already had Steam Taxis; logically speaking, Steam buses should also be achievable.

"This, the bill regarding buses hasn't passed yet. Those family businesses and the nobles related to horse-drawn carriages are all unwilling to let this bill start being implemented," Brenna answered after hearing Yun Mu's words.

"Hmph, with such a group of vermin, how can one govern a country well?" She looked quite dissatisfied and pursed her lips.

Regarding this, Yun Mu could only chuckle and change the subject, discussing the scenery outside the window with her, as well as Lita and Iliyasi.

However, she did not know if it was her imagination, but as time passed, the buildings outside the window seemed to become increasingly dilapidated.

"The vehicle is about to arrive at the next stop—Western Old City District. Passengers who need to get off, please take note. Passengers who need to get off, please take note..."

"We have arrived," hearing the broadcast sound, Brenna spoke up at this moment.

"Western Old City District?" Yun Mu looked outside the window with some confusion.

"That informant is staying here?"

"It is just that the agreed-upon location is here," Brenna shook her head. When the bus drove to the side of the stop and pulled over, she stood up and walked toward the outside of the vehicle.

"Let's go, it's time to go meet that informant."
