Chapter 116: You're Given a Chance and You Still Can't Use It

"An unfamiliar ceiling..."

Su Nian lay on the bed, staring listlessly at the ceiling of his bedroom.

Even though he had only spent one night under the tutelage of Scathach last night, Su Nian felt as if he had spent several months there.

Yes, the kind where he was beaten for months, averaging several near-death experiences every single day.

Scathach, this teacher, is truly not someone an ordinary person can endure.

Just thinking about how this life would continue, and not knowing for how much longer...

Su Nian felt his future was pitch black.

He wanted to run away.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Su Nian ultimately did not run away.

Instead, he chose to get up and welcome this brand-new day.

"Good morning, Leticia."

Wearing a black and white gothic maid outfit, Leticia nodded slightly toward Su Nian.

"Good morning, Master. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"However, Miss Jialing does not seem to be awake yet, so I must trouble you, Master, to go and call her."

As she spoke, Leticia gave Su Nian a very sweet smile, though there were a few traces of aloofness within it.

Hearing Leticia's words, Su Nian paused as he was about to reach out to ruffle Leticia's hair, and he nodded with a hint of awkwardness.

"Ugh, honestly, what time is it already, how is Jialing still sleeping?"

As he spoke, Su Nian couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile; he prepared to play a prank on Jialing.

To make Jialing stop sleeping in.

As for Leticia, she went to prepare breakfast with peace of mind; she did not want to be the culprit who affected the relationship between Jialing and Su Nian.

Moreover, because of a certain perverted Baron, she had no fondness for lolicon who liked her current appearance.

Even if she was indeed aware that her current appearance was very cute.

Creatures like lolicon are better off staying in prison!

On the other side, in Jialing's room, Su Nian quietly pushed open the door.

He saw the girl inside, who had buried her head in the quilt and was sleeping sprawled out.

Looking at Jialing hiding in the quilt, Su Nian couldn't help but reveal an evil smile.

"Absolute Freezing Qi!"

Su Nian immediately took his hand, which he had just taken out from a block of ice, and without a word, reached it into Jialing's quilt and placed it on her neck.

"You're going to be the death of me!"

Instantly, Jialing woke up, looking at Su Nian with a speechless expression, completely failing to notice the shoulder strap sliding down from her smooth shoulder.

Jialing was only wearing a thin nightgown at the moment.

"How old are you, still playing such boring pranks."

"Are you men all this childish?"

However, Su Nian did not answer Jialing immediately; his eyes were fixed on the other shoulder strap of Jialing's that was about to slide down.

If Jialing moved even a little more, this strap would slide down.

Seeing that Su Nian did not reply immediately, Jialing followed Su Nian's gaze and saw the strap on her shoulder.

For a moment, Jialing was also somewhat speechless.

The other side of mine has already slid down, almost everything is exposed, and yet you, of all things, are staring at the one that hasn't slid down yet?

Is this strap really that attention-grabbing?

Jialing gained a deeper understanding of the childishness of men once again.

"If you want to look, look openly, don't be sneaky."

Anyway, everything that should have been touched has been touched, everything that should have been seen has been seen, and even the relationship had long been determined.

Especially during the hot springs a few days ago, Jialing had also more or less come to terms with it.

Just treat it as having been bitten by a dog.

She might as well just let it go; it was something she would have to experience sooner or later anyway.

"Are you serious?"

Hearing Jialing's words, Su Nian was overjoyed for a moment and asked with great surprise.

"Not serious!"

Jialing scolded him irritably, then pulled up her shoulder strap, sat up from the bed, and went to the vanity to start grooming.

Then, after she had finished combing her hair, put on her hair accessories, and was preparing to change her clothes, Jialing turned her head to look.

"No, why are you still here?"

"Didn't you tell me to look openly?"

Su Nian said quite aggrievedly, though a trace of regret and remorse flashed across his face.

He shouldn't have had such a loose tongue and asked "Are you serious?".

Otherwise, he really would have watched Jialing change clothes openly.

Then Su Nian was promptly smashed out of the room by a pillow.

Accompanied by a "Bang", Jialing slammed the door shut and began to change her clothes.

As for Su Nian, he was just hugging the pillow outside the door, waiting for Jialing to come out so they could go eat together.

To be fair, Su Nian also felt that the development of his relationship with Jialing was a bit strange.

It was inexplicably like an old married couple, but it also felt like they were brothers, and it also felt like they were rivals.

But they just don't seem like a normal boyfriend and girlfriend, nor do they seem like an engaged couple.

He and Jialing haven't even held hands to this day.

The progress of this relationship seems quite magical.

Afterwards, after having a very lively breakfast with Jialing, Leticia, and Black Rabbit,

Su Nian went off to play video games with Jialing.

A very strange fact is, Little Garden actually—what the hell—has the internet? Can you believe this?

It even covers the No Name community.

In a place where there isn't even electricity, the internet has miraculously appeared?

It's just that the Gift used to access the internet is very expensive, and the signal isn't very stable, though the connection speed is decent.

But thinking about how people in Little Garden are always getting into fights, it's normal for the signal to fluctuate.

As for who runs the internet? Who else could it be, of course it's Thousand Eyes.

Otherwise, where would Thousand Eyes collect so much intelligence from?

However, because of concerns about information leaks, plus the high price, the popularity of this thing in Little Garden is just so-so.

And it's not as useful as it was in the information age; it's heavily regulated, and the credibility of the internet in Little Garden is not even as good as roadside entertainment news.

If you really want information consulting or intelligence services, please purchase them offline from Thousand Eyes.

It's really only good for playing games, and the internet fees are quite expensive—one hundred Thousand Eyes Gold Coins per month.

As for Black Rabbit and Leticia, they certainly aren't idling about like Su Nian and Jialing.

All the various affairs of No Name fall upon them.

"Brother Su Nian, someone claiming to be Lu'aos has come to visit you."

Just as Su Nian and Jialing were happily playing games, Lily's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Lu'aos? Who is that again? Do I know him?"

Su Nian was stunned for a moment, unable to process it for a second, and asked Jialing.

Seeing Su Nian's somewhat confused expression, Jialing explained.

"You weren't here a few days ago so you might not know, but Lu'aos replaced Aishiliya as the leader of Perseus, probably right around the time you were out."

"Anyway, the whole thing caused quite a stir at the time, and Shiroyasha even went to mediate."

"But Aishiliya ultimately fell and became a Demon King, taking away the vast majority of Perseus's Gifts, as well as all the Inheritance Gifts, before fleeing."

Jialing also heard it was truly quite lively; many people were watching the spectacle.

Who could have imagined that Athena's proudest Knight, and the leader who brought Perseus to its peak, Aishiliya, would end up in such a state?

However, such a huge scandal was still suppressed by Thousand Eyes in conjunction with the Greek God Group.

"But I don't know why Perseus is looking for you."

Jialing looked at Su Nian quite skeptically, and soon she thought of a possibility.

"I heard that before Aishiliya fell, she seemed to have some cooperation with you. Could it be..."

Looking at Jialing's gossipy expression, Su Nian couldn't help but flick Jialing on the forehead.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, it has nothing to do with me; I only met Aishiliya once."

"Let's go out and see."

Su Nian put down the controller and waved his hand, saying.

However, Jialing had no interest; after all, this was the business of Su Nian's Community, and she was too lazy to interfere.

Wearing a casual shirt, a pair of Hermes boots made of brass on his feet, his originally clean and neat blonde hair was now half-dyed black.

In particular, there was a hint of disdain and arrogance on his face.

Is this the new successor of Perseus? Why does Su Nian feel like this Perseus is doomed sooner or later?

No wonder that when the original plot occurred, Perseus ended up in such a state, even to the point of being expelled by Izayoi Sakamaki.

Anyway, Lu'aos left Su Nian with a not-so-good first impression.

But out of the cooperative relationship with Aishiliya, although Su Nian's feeling toward Lu'aos wasn't very good, Su Nian was still willing to give Lu'aos a chance to communicate.

It's just that Lu'aos, sitting on the white sofa, clearly wasn't in the mood for a peaceful exchange.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Nian knew the visitor was ill-intentioned.

"Hey, No Name, I'm giving you a chance to form an alliance with our Perseus."

"As long as you return the Demon Star you obtained through despicable means to us."

Lu'aos said very flippantly and arrogantly; in his view, the Community Su Nian belonged to was no longer the Arcadia it once was.

It was just a No Name that had lost its name, without even a flag, and the key combat power wasn't even there—how could it be called a Community?

It was just a mess that had been propped up with the help of Shiroyasha.

Only Leticia and that Moon Rabbit had any value.

Of course, the current state of Perseus wasn't much better.

But compared to the No Name community, it was still quite a bit better; at the very least, Perseus could still produce Gifts for sale.

Now, because of Aishiliya, all of Perseus's Inheritance Gifts had been taken away, except for that Demon Star previously used to make up the price difference.

And the current Perseus completely lacked the strength to support a Four-digit Community, so in order to stabilize its status,

Lu'aos had to come and retrieve the Demon Star Algol.

How could an Inheritance Gift be given away so casually? This was all the fault of that woman, Aishiliya!

Lu'aos thought very angrily.

Moreover, cooperating with a Community that had lost its name was already giving Su Nian and the others enough face.

What else could they be dissatisfied with?

"This is not the attitude of someone looking to cooperate."

People really do laugh when they are speechless; Su Nian was currently just like that, directly laughed at by Lu'aos out of sheer anger.

He had absolutely no idea what kind of mindset Lu'aos was in to say such a thing.

Could it be that he didn't recognize him at all, the person who had set the record for the fastest legend of salvation?

Or was it that he simply wasn't qualified to know?

Looking at Lu'aos, Su Nian couldn't help but reveal a trace of a pitying gaze.
