Chapter 28: Ren Russell's Helplessness

After finishing the detailed introduction of the Gifts of Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka, as well as the subsequent growth arrangements.

Su Nian looked into the distance; there was no sign of Black Rabbit returning at all. He figured that since she went out to buy groceries, she wouldn't be back for a while.

"Honestly, this Black Rabbit, why isn't she back yet!!"

"Forget it, Saeko, and Jingxiang, I'll have to trouble you two to go and look after the children here first."

Su Nian turned his head and said to Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka.

Although they have both been buffed with high-speed growth, and it is unlimited in time, the total amount of Merit is still limited.

Even if they were to practice blindly now, they would still be able to grow.

But in that case, they wouldn't be able to maximize the use of their Merit, and their growth would be full of "water."

However, in order not to affect their potential, Su Nian still decided to wait until Leticia returned to hear her advice.

After all, Leticia is an old antique who has lived from the Dawn Period of Little Garden until now.

And she was once a great Cadre of Arcadia, so she must have plenty of experience in cultivating talent.

"Their Community was just destroyed by a Demon King."

"A Demon King?"

Busujima Saeko asked curiously; her intuition told her that a Demon King was very likely the opponent she needed.

"Yes, they are existences like natural disasters that wantonly use Host Authority to forcibly drag others into Gift Games to plunder everything they have."

"And if one does not have the power to destroy stars, it is impossible to defeat a Demon King."

Su Nian gave a brief introduction, then looked at Busujima Saeko and said.

"Saeko, if you want to become an opponent for a Demon King, you must at least reach the upper limit of your current growth to even have a chance."

"Is that so?"

Busujima Saeko couldn't help but reveal a bloodthirsty smile. After obtaining the Spirit Status of a Murderer, her true nature became even harder to suppress.

However, this was, after all, bestowed by the Little Garden Central, and based on the Gift given for her Merit, it naturally wouldn't have such obvious side effects.

As long as she vents periodically and keeps her will firm, these influences can almost be ignored.

And clearly, the will of Busujima Saeko, who had insisted on suppressing her own nature for years, was not weak.

After arranging for Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka, Su Nian also sought out the oldest and most mature one among the remaining children of the No Name.

"Lily, you are responsible for going to the river to fetch water, and also..."

A green-haired boy, only a little over 1.3 meters tall, stood in front of a large group of children, directing their subsequent actions.

Hearing about fetching water, Su Nian felt a bit emotional; he could only say that the Communities of Little Garden were truly living in dire straits.

After all, in Little Garden, whether it be mountains, rivers, streams by the roadside, or the city's tap water system.

They all have owners; to obtain water, one must pay money or complete someone else's Gift Game.

But how could the No Name have money now? And how could a group of children participate in Gift Games?

So they could only go to the river where no one cared to fetch water.

Many small Communities survived this way.

As for digging a well?

The fertility of all the soil belonging to the No Name had been plundered, and naturally, the groundwater was included in that.

"By the way, also, sorry to trouble everyone, please take stock of the remaining supplies of the No Name."

Watching the little brat who had organized the children in an orderly fashion, Su Nian couldn't help but sigh; the children of Little Garden are truly amazing.

Over a hundred children, none older than six or seven, were all organized in an orderly manner.

If it were up to him to manage these children, his head would probably be spinning.

"Alright, little brat, there's no need to take stock of the supplies; I still have plenty here that I can't even finish using."

Su Nian tapped this green-haired boy, who was the child who served as the leader of the No Name in the original work before Izayoi Sakamaki and the others arrived.

Ren Russell, a little brat with a decent Gift.

Su Nian was not lacking in supplies at all; he knew all too well how insanely he had prepared supplies when he was preparing to travel to the first world.

That was enough to sustain a city of ten million people for several years.

From food, vegetables, to drinking water, seasonings, gasoline...

And now those things were piled up in his hands...

After all, for him, who had already become a god and could travel between worlds freely, supplies were simply too easy to come by.

Even with so many people missing in the Apocalypse World, it was incredibly easy for him to get some supplies if he really wanted to.

"No need, Lord Su Nian."

Ren shook his head and refused; he didn't want them to rely on others. He knew very well that Su Nian had only joined the No Name temporarily.

Sooner or later, he would leave.

They didn't want to become a burden.

If he simply wanted money and supplies, his father was once the vault keeper of Arcadia.

He himself knew a bit about Arcadia's hidden vaults, and even in this villa, there were still many Gifts left over that could only be used under extreme conditions.

If he wanted to sell them, they could fetch a good price.

The situation of the No Name was not that dire.

But he knew he had no right to use Arcadia's property, and he couldn't even reveal that he knew about those assets.

At least not until the No Name had developed to a certain extent.

Because he was a member of the Russell clan, and the Russell clan had obtained their Gift after passing the trial of Solomon, naturally bearing the mark of Solomon and the Cross Divine Group.

Not to mention that the Russell clan was still around, and if his clansmen knew that he knew there were assets left in Arcadia.

Then he would inevitably be supported to become the leader of the No Name, and then, under the operation of the Russell clan or the Solomon behind them...

No Name rose to power, only to be eventually taken over through a shell company.

After all, Arcadia was destroyed, but that does not mean the connections left behind are all gone, and what was destroyed was merely the headquarters of Arcadia.

For a large organization like Arcadia, hiding Gifts in other places to prepare for a rise in the face of danger is a basic operation.

And as the son of Arcadia's former vault keeper, he knew these things clearly, having been influenced by his father.

Rising to power is not difficult; what is difficult is how to ensure the purity of No Name and ensure that Arcadia's former dream is not tarnished.

Not to become a glove for those God Groups.

Therefore, let alone using the assets, he had best not even develop his own Gift, Spirit User.

Only, if it is like this, the development of No Name will be very difficult; at the very least, they must absolutely not show their heads before the seeds cultivated by the former elders in the outside world arrive in Little Garden.

Once they show their heads, but lack sufficient strength, it will inevitably lead to a situation of being surrounded by wolves.

Having crossed the Dystopia, nearly defeated the Absolute Evil, and added to that the reputation left behind by Arcadia, which had almost established the Layer Master Alliance, it is truly too great.

It would be fine if they were hopeless, but once there is any ambition to strive, all sorts of Angel investors will come uninvited.

If only Lord Su Nian were truly a member of Arcadia.

It is a pity that Lord Su Nian is only here because Lady Shiroyasha left him to take care of them.

"Children shouldn't think so much; just follow behind the adults with peace of mind."

Su Nian looked at Ren, who had rejected his kindness, and knocked on Ren's head with some annoyance; Ren clutched his head in pain.

"Honestly, every single one of these children is so precocious."

"Just tell me where the supplies are stored; children should act like children."

In any case, Su Nian could not stand watching a group of children having to go to the river to fetch water just to have something to drink.

What's more, Shiroyasha had told him to take good care of this group of brats; no matter what, he could not let them be so miserable that they could not even maintain the most basic food and clothing.

"Alright, Lord Su Nian."

Ren was also somewhat helpless and could only lead Su Nian to the place in this villa where supplies were currently stored.

Because Arcadia still had some financial resources before being attacked by the Demon King, and this was also a contingency plan that Canary and the others had prepared long ago to deal with a sudden attack.

In fact, the various furnishings and equipment of this villa were quite complete.

And there were some supplies, just not many.

After all, how many people could have imagined that there would really come a day when this contingency plan would be needed?
