"…"
Was I still removed from the list?!
"You don't seem surprised," Karkat chuckled when he saw Ye Zichen's expression.
"Sorry."
Ye Zichen wasn't surprised that Karkat was removed from the Mercenary Alliance.
He also understood Karkat's situation.
Karkat's status in the Mercenary Alliance was already very low.
He was unable to break through for a long time.
Furthermore, he enjoyed the resources provided by the Mercenary Alliance. The Mercenary Alliance had already lost their patience with him.
Ye Zichen had also wondered if Karkat would be removed from the list after failing.
He didn't think that he would actually be expelled!
"There's nothing to apologize for. The winner takes all!" Karkat's tone was indescribably carefree. "The Mercenary Alliance has always treated me as a thorn in their side. They've always wanted to get rid of me, but they lacked an opportunity. No matter what, I was signed by a genius. There's no reason for me to be expelled just because my cultivation level stagnated. We have a reasonable excuse for our failure in the trial. "
"…"
Ye Zichen remained silent. He could understand that Karkat's heart wasn't as carefree as he made it out to be.
Your Majesty!
She had an extremely high status in the human race.
Anyone who wasn't a Sovereign or an Overlord would have to respectfully call her Your Majesty.
She was just that dazzling …
Getting expelled was like falling from a height of thirty thousand meters. That sort of drop was very hard to bear.
Karkat could even laugh in self-mockery.
That was already very rare.
"Actually, I'm rather thankful to you. Getting expelled from the Mercenary Alliance actually made me feel a lot more relaxed. Count … That's not bad. The strongest in our race is only a Marquis. I'm already very good. Do I have to be a Sovereign or an Overlord to be considered a human? "
Karkat smiled softly …
"Furthermore, I've heard some news about our trial through certain channels. Actually … the two of us have been appointed."
"If I lost, then the Mercenary Alliance would get rid of me."
"We won!"
"The Milky Way lost face, the Virtual World Corporation lost face, and I, a sacrificial pawn, took on the Mercenary Alliance's anger. Heh … Say, these managers, they really are meticulous."
Ye Zichen knew all of that …
From the very beginning, he knew that he was the chosen one. He also knew that the Cangyue Galaxy wanted to use this opportunity to suppress the Virtual World Corporation. What he didn't expect was that Karkat was also appointed.
There were still such secrets within the inner circle!
"That's why you asked me if I came to watch you make a fool of yourself. Does that mean …. A lot of people have come?" muttered Ye Zichen.
"Quite a lot."
Karkat shrugged his shoulders, declining to comment.
"And they're all from the Mercenary Alliance. Maybe I've stepped on them too hard. Now that I've fallen into the abyss, they want to take back what I owe them."
To be honest, Ye Zichen found it hard to imagine …
Just what kind of life had Karkat been living during this period of time to be able to say such words?
"Yes, are you here to buy clothes?"
"If you want to buy, you have to choose me. Let me earn some points. I haven't sold a single item today."
"It's okay if you don't buy it."
"The style of clothes here is quite novel. Anyway, I didn't see these clothes when I was in the Human Race Universe, so it's not a big deal to admire them."
"But you will buy them, right?"
A smile lingered in Karkat's eyes as he said, "I remember that after the trial ended, you seemed to have obtained more than 900,000 points, probably …"
Nine hundred thousand!
The female clerk, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between Karkat and Ye Zichen, raised her eyebrows.
She wasn't actually eavesdropping on them on purpose …
Karkat and Ye Zichen didn't care about anything when they spoke. In their eyes, the people of the Ancestral Dragon Clan were no different from the NPCs in the game.
They were merely passersby.
They would leave when the time came. What's more, the things they talked about weren't particularly important, so they didn't have to worry about leaking any information.
At the very beginning …
The clerk didn't mind it too much. During this period of time, a lot of humans came to mock Karkat. What's more, they would all buy some clothes in the end. They would even go to other shop assistants to buy them, even if they didn't buy from Karkat. She was one of the many people who benefited.
Because of him.
The shop's profits improved quite a bit, and the shop owner also kept him as a mascot.
But just now, she actually heard nine hundred thousand!!!
This country bumpkin actually has nine hundred thousand?!
"Kakat, the customer is here to buy clothes, not to gossip with you. Did the store manager look for you to let you gossip here?" The female shop assistant frowned and angrily rebuked, "You go and guard the door, I'll show this gentleman around our store."
"Oh, it seems like you heard it," Ye Zichen smiled knowingly.
He wasn't surprised by the clerk's actions at all.
He's seen too much …
This sort of person.
"Okay, Hong-jie," Karkat quickly lowered his head. It was obvious that he really wanted to earn some points from Ye Zichen. However, he didn't dare to disobey the clerk's words, so he silently returned to the entrance of the shop.
The female shop assistant's eyes were also filled with smiles as she walked over.
"Mister …"
"I have no points." Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly, then looked at Kakat and shrugged. "I used up all my points when I first came to the Ancestral Dragon Clan. I'm barely getting by. Just look at my clothes and you'll know."
All of a sudden …
The smile on the clerk's face froze as well. Ye Zichen saw what it meant to instantly change his expression.
"Why did you come here without points?!"
"You didn't say that you can't enter without points, right?" Ye Zichen shrugged in confusion. "I'm doing business. Since you opened the door, is there a problem with me coming in? Are you going to chase me away?"
"Heh, country bumpkin!"
The clerk glared at Ye Zichen in disdain, and did not hide the disdain in her eyes at all.
"Go and tell your poor friend."
"But let me remind you, don't dirty our clothes here."
The clerk scolded angrily.
She had already completely fallen out with Ye Zichen, and there was no way for her to reconcile with him.
Of course …
If Ye Zichen had points, then she would instantly reverse the situation with how snobbish she was.
Karkat's expression also turned a bit ugly.
This snobbish …
He hated it too.
He couldn't help but think of his girlfriend back then when he saw her like that.
She dumped him mercilessly when he was unable to break through.
Then …
She found a new boyfriend the next day.
"Lord of the Milky Way, what do you want to see? I'll take you to see. Clothes can be tried on however you want, there's no need to worry about them getting dirty. What's more, these clothes aren't necessarily cleaner than people, "Karkat said in front of the clerk, then dragged Ye Zichen into the store.
The clerk was completely enraged when she heard that.
"Hey, what you said just now was too offensive, right?" Ye Zichen muttered after entering the store. "Isn't that just scolding the locust behind my back? That woman doesn't seem like a good person."
"Worst comes to worst, I'll just quit. I hate snobbish people the most!"
Karkat said with a look of disdain. "What about you, why did you spend your points so quickly?"
"Zu Ying stole them."
"Zu Ying?" Karkat understood. "It's because of the Milky Way, right?"
"Mhmm."
It was not strange for Her Highnesses of the human race to know that. Ye Zichen also shrugged and nodded.
"That's a bit too much," Karkat muttered.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Before Ye Zichen could reply, the clerk's laughter sounded out from outside the store.
"Welcome."
"What do the two of you want to buy?"
From her passionate tone, it was clear that she had caught a big fish.
"Is Karkat here?"
A sharp female voice sounded out from outside. Karkat instantly clenched his fist when he heard the voice. Not long later, he saw a couple walk in.
"Karkat, you really are here."
