"What's going on?"
Seeing Mei Yin excitedly bring Mai Lu to his room, Fangzheng couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Mr. Fangzheng, I found another companion!"
As Mei Yin spoke, she pushed Mai Lu in front of Fangzheng.
"Companion?"
Fangzheng stared blankly at Mei Yin. Then, he came to a realization.
"You're also a transmigrator?"
"Ah, yes, that … I'm sorry …"
In front of Fangzheng, Mai Lu was clearly not as lively as she was in front of Mein. She lowered her head with a slight blush and bowed respectfully to Fangzheng. Although Mai Lu was surprised that her employer was also a transmigrator, but … in this unfamiliar world, she felt more or less at ease to see a companion.
"So what's your situation?"
"It's like this, I'm …"
Compared to Mei Yin, Mai Lu's transmigration story was much more orthodox. She was originally a Japanese high school student named Kurihara Kai. One day, she was killed by a truck while saving a child crossing the road. Then, she transmigrated to another world and met a God who promised to fulfill one of her wishes.
Mai Lu's wish was to 'make normal friends and live a normal life in the next life.' That was why she only wanted to have the average ability of that world!
Just like that, she transmigrated to this world and encountered various situations. Now, she was acting as an adventurer as Mai Lu …
"Live a normal life? But I don't think you're ordinary at all? "
Fangzheng still remembered Mai Lu's nonchalant expression when she faced his dragon's prestige. Although Fangzheng didn't display the full version of the dragon's prestige, since she could resist his dragon's prestige, how could she be considered ordinary?
"I don't want to be like this, but I don't know what happened. That God gave me half of the ability of the strongest living creature in this world, the Ancient Dragon …"
"Huh?"
Hearing Mai Lu's answer, Fangzheng and Mei Yin were stunned.
"That's not the average value. That's the median value, right?!"
"Shouldn't we remove the highest value and the lowest value before averaging it?"
"That's what I think too!"
Mai Lu was about to cry.
"Who knew it would turn out like this …"
"I can only say that the so-called god's IQ is not high."
Fangzheng shrugged helplessly. But fortunately, strictly speaking, Mai Lu's ability value wasn't too ridiculous. According to her, the God gave 'half of the strongest living creature in this world'. Gods and demon kings definitely weren't considered 'living creatures'. Apart from that, according to the fact that they were alive, the Crimson Dragon God and Water Dragon King were considered dead. Giving half of an Ancient Dragon's ability value … actually wasn't too much.
As for the Golden King of Nightmares, there was no need to think about it. It did not belong to this world at all.
"But then again, who reincarnated you? Is your IQ so low?"
"That … She said that she is the Goddess of Water, Akuya …"
Speaking of this, Mai Lu also sighed. After all, she was the Goddess of Water, and from her appearance, she was a super beautiful girl. In anime, wouldn't the Water Attribute be associated with wisdom or something? That was why Mai Lu didn't think too much about it … Who knew that it would turn out this way!
Don't tell me that she met a fake goddess!
"But it doesn't matter, haha … But I have to remind you that if you wish to live an ordinary life in this world, don't even think about it."
"Huh?"
Mei Yin and Mai Lu were taken aback.
"Why?"
"Let me ask you a question first."
Upon hearing their question, Fangzheng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stared at them and asked.
"The ordinary life that you wish to live is the same as in the original world where you live peacefully, go shopping with your friends, and grow up?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Mei Yin and Mai Lu nodded to Fangzheng's question. Looking at their reactions, Fangzheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It seems that you two really don't understand what a fantasy world means."
"…?"
Mei Yin and Mai Lu exchanged doubtful looks. Then, she spoke first.
"That … I know that life in this world is tougher and there is a huge difference in status …"
Mei Yin had 'personal experience' with this. Although she had read about it in books before, she didn't expect the nobles to have such great power. They could easily decide the life and death of a group of commoners without any scruples. There wasn't even a need for a trial or evidence. As long as they were unhappy, they could directly imprison or even execute civilians … Mei Yin had never thought of this before.
She also didn't expect that this would happen to her.
"The situation isn't that simple."
Gazing at the two childish little girls, Fangzheng decided to teach them a lesson. One of them was a university student while the other was a high school student. Both of them hadn't experienced the cruelty of society, which was why they had such naive thoughts. In fact, perhaps their thoughts would change after they entered society and started working. Although modern society was peaceful, fierce competition was also everywhere. During their school days, they could still rely on their parents. But after they entered society, they would need to work hard on their own.
"You have to know that in this world, there are Gods and Demons. Let's not talk about what the Gods are like. As for the Demons … Do you know the goal of the Demons?"
"…"
Both of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Make a guess?"
"Rule the world?"
Mai Lu gave a reason that was commonly seen in anime. After all, in general, wasn't that the ultimate goal of the Demons and bad guys?
"Wrong."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"It's to destroy the world."
"… Huh?"
"According to the legends of this world, everything comes from the Mother of Chaos. And the Mother of Chaos, the King of Golden Nightmares, is the mother of all things, the most worshipped symbol of the Demons. Therefore, the goal of the Demons is to destroy this world, return everything to the Mother of Chaos, and become one with the Mother of Chaos once again. So … Do you understand now? "
Fangzheng said and spread his arms apart.
"This world isn't peaceful at all and can be destroyed at any time. In fact, you may not know this, but a few days ago, this world was almost destroyed. Back then, a sealed fragment of the Demon King, Shabra Nikkad, awoke and was defeated by a sorcerer … Of course, this is an exception. In fact, if the sorcerer didn't defeat the fragment, it would have manipulated the Demon Army and destroyed everything. "
"Y-Such a thing happened?!"
Hearing this, Mei Yin and Mai Lu's faces instantly turned pale.
"That's right. That's what happened."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"Therefore, you must remember that this world is not your original world. The threat of the Demon Race to this world is real. This is also the reason why every country and power hopes to obtain powerful people. Mei Yin, you should also understand this point. "
"Yes … Yes."
Mei Yin was somewhat dejected. The biggest reason why she was chosen by the temple was because of her powerful magical powers. In fact, Mei Yin hadn't come into contact with magic back then, so she couldn't understand this. After all, she lived in the city and wasn't aware of the dangers outside.
However, Mei Yin didn't expect that she had such a background, which surprised her.
"So then, does that mean that we can't live an ordinary life?"
After hearing Fangzheng's words, Mai Lu still couldn't give up.
"Of course, you can. But the problem is, are you willing to? Do you know what kind of life ordinary people in this world lead? Can you really accept their lives? Take you for example, Mai Lu. You're a noble, right? Your family will definitely use you as a marriage partner in the future. Of course, you're strong enough, but in the eyes of your family, you're only a bargaining chip to increase your marriage partner. For example, those who originally wanted to marry you to a noble might want to marry you to an overlord or a king. There's no freedom of love in this world, so don't expect anyone to support you. If you say 'I don't want to marry an overlord or a king, I only want to marry the person I like', others will only treat you as a lunatic … The conflict in this world isn't only about the difference in worldviews. There are also differences in culture and customs. The lives of ordinary people in this world are completely different from your values. "
"Yes, yes, yes."
Mei Yin had a deeper understanding of this compared to Mai Lu. She nodded in agreement while Mai Lu lowered her head dejectedly. Mai Lu was a noble, after all, and compared to Mei Yin who was born in a poor family, she didn't understand this point. Although Mai Lu had suffered a lot along the way, she had always subconsciously thought that 'this was only a product of the noble class'. She didn't expect that this was the difference in values of the entire world.
With that said, the corners of Fangzheng's lips curled up as he looked at Mai Lu.
"By the way, if you want to know what adventurers are like in this world, I can give you some suggestions."
"Eh? But I'm already an adventurer? "
"I'm talking about ordinary adventurers. You're not an ordinary adventurer."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"You've seen the three girls beside me, right? They … Yes, at least they're more ordinary than you. You should lead your team and go on a mission with them. When that time comes, you'll know what an ordinary adventurer is like."
With that said, Fangzheng smiled.
"By the way, go kill the goblins."
