"— — —!"
When Fangzheng came back to his senses, he had already appeared in a dark and gloomy place that looked like a dark basement. In front of him stood several people dressed like the cultists. Upon seeing Fangzheng, the leader of the group yelled.
"Sir Brave One, please save this world!"
"What?"
At this moment, Fangzheng heard three voices. He turned around and saw three young men clad in student uniforms standing up from the ground with different weapons in their hands … Hmm? What's going on?
Wait, why do I feel like my hand is a little heavy?
Fangzheng lowered his head and saw that a … shield had appeared on his right arm at some point in time?
？？？
What the hell is a shield?
"Ahhh, Sir Brave One, please save this world!"
Shortly after, the Grand Priest in the lead who was dressed like a cultist spoke again. Another young man by the side asked.
"What exactly is the meaning of this?"
"This … The situation is complicated. In short, we used an ancient ritual to summon the legendary four saint heroes … This world is facing a crisis of destruction. Sir Brave One, please help us!"
It was as though the beginning of an RPG. But …
"I refuse."
"That's right. Can you let us return to our original world? If not, we can forget about it. "
"Don't you feel guilty about forcefully summoning others?"
"To what extent will you consider our thoughts?"
"…"
Fangzheng didn't participate in their conversation at all. He narrowed his eyes and gazed at the cultists. This wasn't a joke. Fangzheng sensed a dark, twisted aura from them that was similar to the cultists of the main world and dark world. Although it wasn't obvious, … he sensed that something wasn't quite right with them.
"… Save me …"
At that moment, a voice sounded in Fangzheng's ears again. This time, it was different. It was a lot clearer. But that was all there was to it, and then it disappeared again.
Indeed. Is this the world?
"S-Anyway, please meet our country's King Melomark …"
At this moment, the leader spoke again.
"We'll talk about the reward when the time comes … Please follow me."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand. The three nodded and followed him.
Fangzheng didn't say much. He followed closely behind and sensed the aura around him.
Every world had its unique features and aura. The aura of the Dark Soul World was corruption and darkness to Fangzheng. On the other hand, the aura of the game world was filled with certain electronic activity to Fangzheng. On the other hand, the aura of this world was unstable. If one had to describe it … it was as though a tsunami was filled with tension, chaos, and uneasiness.
It was filled with chaos and destruction.
Just like that, under the lead of those people who looked like cultists, Fangzheng and company arrived at the palace. Then, they saw an old man sitting on the throne.
"Are you guys the legendary Four Saint Warriors of ancient times? I am the King of Meg Malo, Alto. Meg Malo the 32nd. Heroes, please report your names. "
The old man sitting on the throne spoke softly. At the same time, Fangzheng noticed that the old man swept a glance at him and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Tian Mu Lian, 16 years old, high school student."
"Kitamura Motoyasu, 21 years old, university student."
"Kawachi Seki, 17 years old, high school student."
Sure enough, they're a bunch of brats who haven't graduated yet.
Upon hearing the trio's introductions, Fangzheng couldn't help but shake his head. It was no wonder this group of people sounded so chuunibyou when they spoke. It was obvious that they didn't know the dangers of society. Only students who hadn't come out of the ivory tower would have such a tone. This kind of people would only understand how stupid they were after being beaten black and blue by the interviewer dozens of times.
However, just as Fangzheng was pondering, he heard the King's voice again.
"Yes, Lian, Motoyasu, do you still have trees?"
Deliberately ignoring my existence?
Hearing this, Fangzheng raised his brows and scanned the surroundings. He discovered that the other ministers and nobles standing around were also silent, as though they didn't feel that anything was amiss.
Interesting.
Recalling how the King had secretly glanced at him, as well as the subtle difference in treatment between him and the other three, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
I'd like to see what kind of monkey show you're putting on.
Then, with the King's introduction, Fangzheng understood the current background of this world. In short, this world and this country were facing a disaster called 'wave' that would lead to the destruction of the world. When the wave appeared, countless monsters would appear, killing and destroying everything.
This country had an existence called the Dragon Hourglass since ancient times, which could be used to determine the time of the disaster. Although they resisted the first wave, they found that their strength wasn't enough, which was why they wanted to summon the legendary four saints to help them.
"Understood, I will assist you."
"It's fine as long as you don't become my enemy."
Sure enough, after the King said that he would reward them, the three brats immediately changed their attitude. Looking at this, Fangzheng laughed inwardly.
He was indeed a brat … This made Fangzheng recall the scene of him interviewing university graduates. Hehehe, weren't all of them the same? They acted as though the heavens were first and they were second, thinking that they could earn an annual salary of hundreds of thousands the moment they graduated. They thought that they were impressive. Such people were naturally easy to dismiss.
First, he would attack them and let them know how arrogant they were. Then, he would give them a little salary.
As for the next step … he would understand when these guys entered the company.
996？ That doesn't exist.
Holidays? That doesn't exist.
Of course, overtime pay will definitely be given to you. After all, you can't violate the labor law.
But if you work seven days a week, even if I give you the money, where will you spend it?
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to open a hospital now, Fangzheng would really like to build a hospital directly within the company. This way, even if the employees worked overtime and fell ill, they could still receive treatment in their own hospital. When the time came, they could also get back the overtime pay … Recycling, how great would that be?
Oh, it would be best to build a crematorium and a cemetery. If the illness couldn't be cured, they could just burn the crematorium and provide a cemetery according to the employee's internal price. This way, not only could they earn back the overtime pay, but they could also make a profit.
After all, in this era, a cemetery was more expensive than a house.
Where could they find such a good boss like him? He believed that once this measure was introduced, there would be an endless stream of employees coming to apply for the job.
That's why it was easier to fool students.
Initially, Fangzheng thought that he would be leading the three brats into battle. But what he didn't expect was that the minister told them that according to legends, legendary weapons had mutually exclusive properties … Therefore, the four of them had to recruit their own companions for this adventure.
Not only that, but this world also came with its own system just like SAO. Of course … this wasn't a problem for Fangzheng.
Then, under the guidance of the maid, they had dinner and returned to their respective rooms to rest. Of course, during this process, the other three brats also conversed with each other. Through their conversations, Fangzheng discovered that the three of them actually came from three different parallel worlds. Not only that, but in their worlds, there seemed to be games with the same background as this world … Although some were console games, some were MMOs, and some were VR games …
No wonder the three brats were so arrogant from the start.
Upon hearing their explanation, Fangzheng somewhat understood. It was like a group of people. If they transmigrated to World of Warcraft and confirmed their world, perhaps they wouldn't be any worse than the three brats.
After all, no matter what, it was a game that he had played before, so he would definitely be more familiar with it in all aspects.
Not only that, but Fangzheng also discovered that the three of them faintly rejected him. But that was normal. Although they came from different worlds, the three of them were Japanese and Fangzheng wasn't. Not only that, but Fangzheng was also older than them and most importantly …
He was the most handsome.
Fangzheng had always ignored the ugly looks of envy and jealousy.
The next morning, the four of them once again arrived before the King. This time, they were accompanied by a group of adventurers in different outfits.
"We have gathered a group of people who are determined to fight against the waves with the legendary heroes."
The King who was sitting on the throne said indifferently.
"Heroes of the future, let's set off!"
Along with the King's words, the adventurers strode toward the group.
Huh? Let them choose?
Seeing this, Fangzheng was a little surprised, but it didn't matter. Then, he saw the adventurers walking past him to the back and … standing beside the other three heroes.
There's such a thing?
Seeing that there was no one behind him, Fangzheng was slightly stunned and frowned.
This was no longer a topic that could be handled with jokes or jokes. Yesterday, he had noticed that compared to the other three heroes, the king and the ministers seemed to be inexplicably hostile toward him. Now, even these adventurers were acting so obviously. Could it be that there was something wrong with the Braveheart of the Shield in this world?
But this is fine too.
Fangzheng didn't mind that no one was following him. After all, ever since he came to this world, he felt an aura that was quite similar to the dark world.
In other words, if the people in this world were the same as the people in the dark world, perhaps Fangzheng would become the enemy of this country.
Since that was the case, there was no need to blindly mingle with these people.
"Even I didn't expect it to be like this …"
Perhaps it was because this scene was too bizarre that even the King was taken aback. But soon, he let out a cough.
"Since that's the case, Shield Warrior, we will give you double the reward. You can recruit companions to fight with you …"
"There's no need for that."
However, before the King finished his words, he was interrupted by Fangzheng.
"Unlike those three brats, I didn't say that I would help you. Next, I will personally investigate this country and see if it's worth saving. If it is, then I will help. If it isn't … "
Fangzheng said until here, saying until here, until here, saying that he sneered.
"… We'll talk about it when the time comes."
After saying this sentence, Fangzheng turned around and was about to leave. But at this moment, suddenly, a woman with a red ponytail and a sword hanging on her waist ran out.
"Please wait, Sir Shield Warrior. I'm willing to take the risk with you …"
"There's no need."
Fangzheng swept a glance at the woman with rather ordinary looks and quickly withdrew his gaze. Then, he turned around and left the King's City.
To Fangzheng, saving this country wasn't his' mission '. The most important thing for him to come to this world was to find that voice that appeared in his ears.
However, even though Fangzheng earned an entire day in the King's City, he didn't hear that voice again.
"You didn't get anything today?"
Sitting on the sofa in the hotel, Fangzheng looked at the night sky outside and frowned. Of course, he did not have the gold coins of this world, but Fangzheng had all sorts of precious stones. There was also enough gold and silver in the Treasure of Kings. He could take some of them to a shop and exchange them for quite a bit of money.
And on this day, Fangzheng also discovered that the entire King's City seemed to have known that he was the Shield Warrior. Most of the people were unwilling to talk about his attitude and were afraid that they couldn't wait to avoid him. There were also some people who didn't care, but that was it.
It seemed that although the Shield Warrior was also a warrior, he wasn't very popular in this country.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Hearing the knocking sound, Fangzheng turned around and looked at the door.
"Who is it?"
Shortly after, a gentle female voice sounded from outside the door.
"It's me, Sir Shield Warrior."
“？”
Hearing this voice, Fangzheng stood up and opened the door. Shortly after, he saw a woman with red hair standing outside the door. She seemed to be …
"Who are you?"
"My name is Mai Yin Shifia … We've met in the King's City before …"
"Is anything the matter?"
"It's like this …"
Facing Fangzheng's question, the woman named Mai Yin clasped her hands and lifted her head.
"I … want to be your companion, Sir Hero."
"I've already said that I don't need companions."
"Please don't say that!"
However, before Fangzheng could finish his sentence, he saw the woman suddenly pounce into his arms. She looked up again and looked at Fangzheng with tears in her eyes.
"I know that many people in this country have misunderstandings about Sir Shield Warrior, but I hope that Sir Hero can help us and save this country! I'm willing to follow you, Sir Hero! I believe in you, Sir Hero! "
Rhode had to admit that this woman named Mai Yin was really good at acting cute. Coupled with her teary eyes, it was enough to move the hearts of ordinary men. But …
What a joke. Who was Fangzheng? Back when they were applying for jobs, how many women wanted to enter the company through the back door and used more tricks than this? Of course, it would be fine if she was a beautiful woman. But a woman with heavy makeup trying to raise herself to a seven …
"I've already said that I don't need it."
Fangzheng pressed on her shoulder and pushed her away. Although he didn't know what this woman was trying to do, he could see that this woman was obviously acting.
It would be cute if she was acting in his harem, but it was disgusting for a woman he didn't know to act in front of him.
"I'm not interested in a woman like you. Let's go."
"Ugh … That's too much!"
Mai Yin took a step back and covered her eyes. Then, she turned around and ran out of the room.
"Too much!"
"Lunatic."
Looking at the fleeing Mai Yin, Fangzheng let out a snort and entered the room.
Just like that, the night passed.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The next morning, shortly after Fangzheng woke up, a series of hurried knocks sounded on his door. Fangzheng frowned and opened the door again. This time, it wasn't that annoying woman who appeared before Fangzheng. Instead, it was a group of fully-armored soldiers.
"Are you the Hero of the Shield? The King summons you! "
"The King?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
Why is that old man looking for me?
When Fangzheng arrived before the King, he discovered that apart from the King, there were many nobles and ministers, including the three brats and … Mai Yin?
"Why are you looking for me?"
Fangzheng asked as he looked at the king in front of him. The King let out a sigh and said, "Don't worry.
"Poor adventurer Mai Yin, please be a witness again."
"Y-Yes."
Hearing the King's words, Fangzheng saw the woman named Mai Yin hiding behind one of the warriors. She wiped her tears and said.
"Last night, I went to the Shield Warrior, hoping to join his team. I was willing to help the Shield Warrior and take risks with him. But, the Shield Warrior said … said … if I want to gain his trust, I have to devote myself to him. He even tried to pull me into a room … I-I struggled to break free and asked for help from Yuankang who was in the same hotel … "
Oh?
Hearing until here, Fangzheng smirked.
Interesting.
At this moment, the King also spoke.
"The Shield Warrior has committed the most unforgivable taboo in our country. In Meg Marlow, those who attempt to rape women will be sentenced to death!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Fangzheng. However …
"Good monkey show."
Fangzheng clapped his hands.
"I have another version of the story to tell, I wonder if you guys are interested?"
"What?"
Hearing until here, one of the warriors looked at Fangzheng suspiciously. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Last night, I was alone in the room thinking about something, then this woman came to me and said that she wanted to be my companion. But unfortunately, I have no interest in this kind of woman, so I rejected her directly. Then, this woman ran away crying. "
"This …"
Hearing until here, everyone was stunned. Then, the Spear Warrior who stood in front of Mai Yin roared.
"Do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true?"
"Nope."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"What I want to ask is, does this woman have evidence?"
"Your Majesty!!"
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over.
"In the Shield Warrior's room, we found this!"
While speaking, he took out a piece of underwear.
Seeing this piece of underwear, the King coldly snorted.
"Look, this is irrefutable evidence," Li Yao said.
"Yes, it is indeed interesting."
Fangzheng nodded again.
"I've already taken off her underwear and this woman actually managed to run away … I really want to know how she managed to escape."
"Hmm …"
Facing Fangzheng's ridicule, the King was at a loss for words. But soon, he waved his hand again.
"No matter what, you are still the Shield Warrior. We will not sentence you to death, but we have already informed all the people of your crime. This is your punishment! Don't even think about living in this country in the future! "
Hearing until here, the other three warriors spoke one after another.
"This is too much, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
"Don't tell me you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a warrior!"
"You are not the protagonist of this world, so you better know your place!"
At the same time, the surrounding nobles and ministers spoke one after another.
"Really …"
"So why summon the Shield Warrior …"
However, in the midst of the discussions, Fangzheng who was surrounded by soldiers suddenly laughed.
"Haha … How interesting."
"What are you laughing at?!"
Hearing Fangzheng's laughter, the King's expression changed and he shouted coldly. On the other hand, Fangzheng looked at him in disdain.
"You guys put on such a monkey show just to ruin the Shield Warrior's reputation, right? It is indeed interesting, but …"
Saying until here, Fangzheng's expression changed.
"Do you think I will be indifferent?!"
"— — —!"
At this moment, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from Fangzheng's body. The powerful dragon's prestige spread and shrouded the entire King's Palace. As for those who were still whispering or roaring loudly, at this moment, all of them shut their mouths like ducks whose necks had been pinched by someone.
"I'm not interested in and don't care what relationship you have with the Shield Warrior."
Fangzheng slowly walked forward. At that moment, under the pressure of the dragon's might, the soldiers beside him had already knelt down while trembling. As for the king, he sat back down in his chair, sweating profusely.
Fangzheng walked up to him and stared coldly at him.
"But, who gave you the courage to provoke me? Do you think that I am the same as those three weaklings? "
