Chapter 39

。。。。。。

Time quickly reached the next morning.

At Mengmeng's urging, Lin Cheng and Eclair arrived at the train station early, waiting for the day's first train — the one that wouldn't depart until six in the morning.

Although it was a very remote town, it was still a town after all, so trains like this still existed.

After all, only when the roads extended in all directions could a nation's economy become prosperous.

"Wanted poster."

"Bai Huzi Pirates, Division Two Captain, Portgas D. Ace?"

While waiting for the train, Mengmeng noticed a place not far away where wanted posters were being put up.

The very newest, topmost wanted poster was none other than Ace's likeness.

One had to admit, the magical world was convenient — the wanted poster's depiction of Ace was almost identical to Ace himself; one could tell at a glance it was a snapshot captured by something like a magical world's surveillance camera.

After yesterday's meeting of the Fapingyi Society on how to treat the entirely new force, the Bai Huzi Pirates, the wanted posters for Ace had, almost overnight, spread across all the high-traffic locations throughout the entire Fiore Kingdom.

So, even though it was not yet six in the morning, Lin Cheng's Emotion Value income had already approached two hundred thousand.

One had to know that this was different from Lin Cheng personally dispatching puppets to act out a scene — the emotional wavering caused by this kind of indirect guidance would have its effect discounted several times over, and the vast majority were ordinary people with very low daily Emotion Value caps.

But even so, the day hadn't even officially begun yet, the newspapers hadn't even officially gone on sale, and merely relying on the simplest wanted posters had already pushed Lin Cheng's Emotion Value income to two hundred thousand.

It could be said that Lin Cheng was full of anticipation for today.

"I saw a report about this in the newspaper."

"Seems like there was a very powerful mage preparing to cause trouble, and this guy went to stop him but accidentally killed the mage who was about to cause trouble, and in the end became the one being wanted."

Lin Cheng looked at Mengmeng and explained with a smile, "But as for something like a wanted poster, that guy probably doesn't care either."

"After all, that guy was a pirate from the very start."

Although the emotion stirred up was very slight, Lin Cheng didn't mind accepting Mengmeng's Emotion Value.

And Eclair, who not far away had likewise pricked up her ears, also contributed a sum of Emotion Value to Lin Cheng.

"Hmph, these mages who possess power are the root of all the turmoil."

After hearing the conversation between Lin Cheng and Mengmeng, Eclair gave a light snort and said, "If it weren't for this group of mages, this world would surely become much more peaceful."

At this time, Eclair was still in a state of extreme aversion toward all mages.

"Perhaps."

"Alright, don't be angry anymore, the train's here, let's hurry and get on."

Lin Cheng looked at the somewhat sulking Eclair and could only smile helplessly.

Although she had lived through four hundred years, because of the gaps in her memory, Eclair sometimes ended up acting like a little child who liked to sulk.

"I'm a lot older than you."

Glancing at Lin Cheng, who looked like he was coaxing a child, Eclair gave another light snort and said, "So you absolutely don't need to treat me like a little child."

Having said that, Eclair took Mengmeng and stepped into the train car first, leaving Lin Cheng standing in place with a somewhat amused expression on his face.

'This must be what they call a tsundere.'

'If she had blonde hair, she'd probably achieve the Blonde Loser Dog achievement.'

Before Lin Cheng transmigrated, there was always one truth in the two-dimensional world.

A girl, if she had a head of blonde hair and a somewhat tsundere personality, would in the end definitely become a loser dog — a loser dog in love, that is.

What followed naturally became simple.
