Chapter 369: NO.132's main members don't even think you're a temporary worker

~10 min read 1,873 words

The usual definition of a toxic substance is a substance that, when entering the body in small doses, causes harm to health through chemical or physicochemical action.

From this point alone it can be understood that the judgment of toxic substances is relative.

The standard for harmful substances is even more flexible and free.

Just like an allergy.

When you pump pollen into an air purifier and lock a pollen‑allergy patient in a room, before long you can see them sniffling and tearing up, even unable to catch their breath from asthma.

At this point, looking at pollen, you see how grave its sin is. jpg

Sea grape red bean paste coffee cannot cause Aomo to have an allergy.

It is merely overly hard to drink, hard to the point of truly touching the soul.

——meaning even Zhouri Ningjing could be knocked over.

Of course, this is not without the contribution of the Digital Soul.

The pitch‑black Zhouri, who spends the whole day using the data realm for spiritual transfer, was in the end harshly 'punished' by a certain Alpha Beast with Digital Soul Coffee.

But even if Digital Soul were secretly stuffed inside, it would only cause Aomo to feel a discomfort similar to 3D vertigo.

As a demon who had previously arrived in the Digital World and, under the guidance of the Witch Beast, tried to feel it, using Digital Code Power, Aomo himself already possesses a certain resistance.

Not having fainted, he was told by Muhaixingzi that he had 'already arrived here'.

Thus far, the coffee of Muhaixingzi Detective Agency can be considered concluded.

But after that, there is still that cup of cold coffee from the Love and Peace Coffee Shop.

All along, Aomo has had a personal view:

That is, the lowest limit of cold coffee is no more than an Americano iced coffee.

That kind of bitter‑icy drink with no mellow fragrance feedback, he has always called 'hot‑pot water', believing it to be the ultimate in undrinkability.

And then today.

On July 8, 612.

That cup of coffee, with no special name, simply presented as 'black coffee', shattered Aomo's stereotypical notion.

He fainted.

Literally.

He couldn't say whether drinking just that one cup would not cause that, because he didn't want to drink a second time.

But after waking up and looking at the medical record folder, it clearly recorded two cups of coffee twenty minutes apart, which in his stomach combined into actual toxin.

——Whose damn work is this!?

Transmigrator, extraterrestrial lifeform, Blood Clan member, Evolto.

In the morning, his habitual cup of coffee, which even he himself is unwilling to drink, is merely brewed for others to drink.

Knowing it tastes bad yet still brewing it for others to drink is indeed worse than Muhaixingzi's nature.

But given that he always does this, to the point of it becoming a habit, Tongsheng Zhan Tu and Wan Zhang Long Wo also didn't bother much.

Anyway, as long as he honestly follows the contract he signed with Heart of Terra and doesn't stir up trouble, they also have no need to re‑enact their past showdown with him.

After all, in the new world there are only strangers; running into an old acquaintance is not easy.

However, there are also many tangled personal grudges among the three that need to be settled in the training ground and the altered space.

So, for the task of dealing a heavy blow to that Star‑Exterminating Serpent Skin Monster whose main body is a huge mass, it's best to leave it to those two professionals.

After realizing he had mistakenly wandered into the 'cast' of Kamen Rider Build, Aomo for now suppressed his inner malice.

Perhaps it is also justice (x).

Wanting to deliver a single decisive blow to the guy who insults coffee—what a righteous idea!

Moreover, he is not lacking in ability.

Although the upper limit of the Star‑Exterminating Serpent Skin Monster can reach the Star‑Extermination level, its manifestation is merely destroying a planet that has lost the ability to resist.

As for its actual combat performance…… although it is limited by the production constraints of the work, aside from freely leaping and moving in the world and the artificial 'black hole', its combat power is only at the level of a regular Kamen Rider, but even if we go by the actual stats.

A knight form with an output of no more than a hundred tons, when facing the numerical monsters that Aomo commands, which are routinely measured in ten‑thousand‑ton units, will inevitably be somewhat awkward.

Indeed, actual combat is not merely a comparison of numbers.

What's more, Evolto's monster form setting is also rather vague, with no true stat sheet listed, merely describing its abilities.

Even simulation is hard to achieve, let alone unpredictable real combat.

However, in real combat fairness is often absent; there are differences in power, disparities in size, whether one is armed, differences in experience level, and…… who gets the first move!

——First‑encounter kills are often a common part of combat, especially in this era of rich combat systems.

Whether it is the time‑honored traditional martial arts, or modern fighting rooted in technical theory, or even more ancient yet renewed source‑energy arts, and sci‑fi‑styled exotic weapons……

Whether you are a long‑lived species or an extraterrestrial, when faced with a sudden challenge, the battlefield will be such an unknowable stage.

That is why the importance of information is emphasized.

It is not to say that merely seizing the initiative in information guarantees victory, but at least the chance of victory does indeed tilt in your favor.

And in this era where electronic and data proportions have long been excessive, to the point of severely eroding reality, how could the importance of information be limited to combat?

Or perhaps.

Or perhaps combat itself is not limited to physical confrontation?

So when the Moon‑Chasing Symbol sent a message, feigning concern to ask about his condition, Aomo's face inevitably showed a subtle smile.

Because he had already taken the advantageous position in information, relying on the reminder expressed in Data Text by Bar Beast X before the other party sent the message.

Hmm…… Data Text.

He really couldn't just show up directly, otherwise there would be a high chance of being smashed down by 'Fierce Wind' and 'Water Pressure' from head to toe.

"Fierce Wind": a sharp wind constructed with magical power

"Water Pressure": an ultra‑high water pressure that can pierce even steel

Witchmon's only two designated killing techniques.

Digimon have the leisure to learn fighting techniques, magic (advanced code), and the like.

But even after learning those things, it's hard to truly be etched onto the digital core they rely on for survival, whose importance is comparable to the heart.

Similarly, skills already etched onto the digital core are precisely the well-known skills that countless same-named Digimon master, which amounts to their innate talents.

Usually two to three.

Renowned for the highest stability and the ideal output they can achieve.

This also causes Digimon, regardless of what combat techniques they learn, to still revolve around their signature killing techniques in actual battle.

Of course, as a Perfect form upgraded with the X-Antibody, Baromon X is hard to be hurt by two killing techniques from a mature Witchmon, but when she immediately evolves into Belphemon, that's another matter.

Whether it's him himself or Aomo, they can imagine such a development, so the parties involved, to avoid such trouble, apparently still communicate via this electronic data transmission.

It's also fine to understand this as the Digimon version of an 'Ultraman signature'.

However, this operation that tests data manipulation skills can only be limited to certain big shots, technique-flow, and mechanical Digimon.

It's not exactly common.

It also made Witchmon widen her eyes, gritting her teeth at Baromon X's avoidance.

To be honest, if it weren't for Bi Ze actually using his 'CP dog filter' to conduct an appraisal, also determining that there's nothing much between Witchmon and Baromon X in terms of a fickle relationship, Aomo would really doubt his own judgment.

Sometimes it feels like Witchmon's extreme targeting of Baromon X is like a heavy woman; considering that real killing intent, evolving into a Landmine Woman wouldn't be out of the question.

Anyway, it's literally a woman as heavy and dangerous as a landmine.

Jidong region's culture always has a knack for defining women, although to the female fist it looks like the objectification of women.

But don't rush,. jpg

The term 'preferring sons' is also used by some.

In the matter of slapping labels on each other, everybody's pretty much the same.

However, not considering emotional entanglements, Witchmon's attitude can only be belief, or a factional conflict.

Given the mutual conflict between Aomo and the Yuechi Symbol, her rushing to act each time can be said to be the enemy camp's commander wanting to kill swiftly; but when Baromon X intends to cooperate with Aomo, her attitude of wanting to kill Aomo as well is obviously unrelated to Aomo's position.

Let me guess… could it be that the reason my never-before-seen Belphemon companion doesn't appear is related to Baromon X?

Aomo calmly glanced at the still-puffed-up, angry pose, looking exactly like a Witchmon of Wei Qianxia.

If I really asked this question, I might easily turn from Wei Qianxia into Carmilla.

That's pretty hilarious; Aomo thinks to cosplay as Carmilla, he'd still need Suzi to come.

Just having a similar voice is enough; putting on a skin suit, who cares what it looks like?

She can play the role perfectly, provided she has that idea.

In short, as Trainer Yan Hui Er said, casually speculating about others is not good.

Aomo thinks he's absolutely right, so he knows to keep speculation to himself first.

Then he taps the keyboard on the light screen, engaging in evasive talk with the chairman of Yuechi Logistics.

Nowadays the other side no longer brings up the request to meet in person, but the talk of cooperation remains unchanged.

Only the collaborators on both sides have changed, with a businessman missing.

Hmm, it's been optimized away.

To be frank, both Aomo and the Yuechi Symbol feel that a businessman as a collaborator, even if just nominal, should have been used up earlier.

Just like the 'friend' in a COC role-playing session.

Regarding this issue, we can randomly pick a monster to interview for its opinion:

"Friend, delicious."

Alright, it looks we've picked Gazort, everyone happily reached a consensus.

Thus his condolence exchange with the Yuechi Symbol also counts as both sides looking quite satisfied.

Even the direction of that cooperation is the same.

Yuechi Logistics, Penguin Logistics.

Similarly engaged in the transportation business, the Yuechi Symbol initiated a cooperation invitation from the perspective of Aomo as an employee of Penguin Logistics.

This step is not unreasonable, but what baffles Aomo is that the other party, in the communication, outright treats him as a key figure with considerable say in Penguin Logistics, mentioning a cooperation plan, painting a big pie on the prospects, and finally hoping he could act as an intermediary to contact the Great Emperor to facilitate the two companies' cooperation.

It seems…

Not knowing that Aomo is merely a temporary worker.
