The arrival of Monina and Eersen was warmly welcomed by the big sisters. They had long heard the Jingle brag about how famous her combat team was and how many outstanding achievements they had. Today, they finally saw the two of them. This made the girls, who had always been filled with all kinds of happy thoughts about the Jingle combat team, very enthusiastic. However, after the topic extended from "how the Protoss combat team is formed" to "a few things to take note of when raising Jingle", I felt that everyone seemed to have gone off-topic.
Well, from a certain point of view, perhaps the second topic was more appropriate …
"Captain's personality is indeed … uh, that's something." It was obvious that Monina still had a certain level of respect for her captain. It was a pity that a certain pet's consistent behavior made even her subordinates, who wholeheartedly wanted to maintain her image, helpless. "Actually, most Protoss of the God of Life have that kind of personality. This is also why they are usually very popular in the Divine Realm, but like our captain …"
"Well, at least Captain has finally found a suitable owner."
This time, Eersen's inappropriate remarks didn't result in a violent beating from Monina. Obviously, in the current atmosphere, even Monina couldn't refute her idiot older brother's conclusion.
We were currently in the Chemistry Department activity room that Artemis had arranged for us. Since the last mutation, this activity room had been moved to the top floor and became the only room with people. Yesterday, Hu Wen had even suggested that we move to an empty classroom near the Awakener headquarters. However, for the sake of convenience, we tactfully declined his kind offer. Artemis also knew that our identities were special. With the help of the leader of this Awakener team, this Chemistry Department activity room had become a gathering point for unscrupulous soy sauce groups in the Empire.
So, it shouldn't be surprising for us to gather here for a meal …
But to be honest, I really didn't expect Monina's cooking to be so good. When she volunteered to be in charge of everyone's lunch today, everyone expressed their surprise.
But when the sumptuous meal was placed in front of everyone, and even Big Sister said that it was incomparably delicious after tasting it, everyone's surprise turned into astonishment.
A Dark God who specialized in covert operations, secret executions, and other such chilling missions? Her second job class was actually a genius chef? Should I comment on this?
As I tasted the unknown dishes that a certain Dark Goddess had dedicated to me, I glanced out of the corner of my eye at Monina, who was still busy in front of a portable kitchen sponsored by Big Sister. was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. I felt … well, all kinds of subtle feelings.
"Don't underestimate my little sister's cooking." Eersen, who seemed to be a certain War God, chewed on half a vegetable in his mouth, completely lacking the demeanor of a god. "She's our combat team's specialized cooking!"
As Eersen spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and muttered, "If not for having good food every day, who would be the brother of such a violent girl …"
"Aiya, my hand slipped." Monina's exclamation suddenly sounded from beside the dining table. Then, we stared blankly at the Dark Goddess whose hand had slipped smiled as she poured boiling water down Eersen's neck. At some point in time, Eersen's body was already half-covered by a bunch of black runes. Under his own sister's inhumane attack, he couldn't even move a muscle other than grimacing in pain.
Eersen, you have a good sister.
Of course, mere boiling water wouldn't be able to harm Eersen, who had the physique of a Protoss. Also, Monina's binding runes wouldn't have much effect on Eersen, who seemed to be one level higher than her. From the looks of it, Monina, you have a good brother as well.
I had to say, the Protoss of the Star Region were completely different from the Gods that the public had in mind. Putting aside the fact that their strength was completely out of the norm, these top-level existences that controlled countless worlds had an inconceivable level of affinity with others. Originally, I thought that Jingle was a special case among the Protoss, but now, Monina and Eersen only used less than half a day's effort to get along well with a bunch of bystanders from the Empire. Furthermore, according to them, there were very few Gods from other Star Region who didn't make friends with mortals — except for a few serious autistic performance artists — in their eyes, mortals were no different from themselves other than being slightly weaker in strength and shorter lifespans (not excluding the few mortal races with unlimited lifespans). Monina, the Dark Goddess who excelled at using human examples to illustrate, gave me a vivid example: If a weightlifter who could lift two hundred kilograms wanted to marry someone who was as strong as him, he would end up without any descendants …
With just this one example, let's talk about diplomacy.
"Oh right, how many people are in your team?" After the last dish was served and Monina sat down, I asked curiously.
It couldn't be helped, you couldn't even discuss formal questions with Eersen. Although Monina was a little cruel to her brother, she was still relatively normal.
"We are a five-man team," Monina replied politely. "Other than the team leader, I am in charge of everyone's daily meals. The idiot brother is usually in charge of provoking the team leader or letting the team leader vent his anger. There is also a Dragon Protoss with monstrous strength who is in charge of cleaning. There is also a Star Protoss, yep, the uncle of the Light Protoss, who is in charge of collecting all kinds of fun things for the team leader. That's all."
I listened blankly as Monina finished introducing the legendary Jingle Team, then I lowered my head and started counting with my fingers.
A team of five. The team leader was in charge of being the mascot, a Dark Goddess was the cook, a Light War God was in charge of being funny and livening up the atmosphere, a Dragon Goddess girl was in charge of sweeping the floor, and the remaining Light God uncle was in charge of running errands for the team leader. That's all.
Raising my head, tears streamed down my cheeks. "Then … where is the person in charge of the team?"
Monina and Eersen looked at each other in shock. Then, she asked, "Do we need other members?"
What a scam! Do you know that this is a scam!? What kind of strange team is this? Didn't you think of it? Where's the tank? Where's the DPS? Where's the healer? The scout commander, the Scholar Hunter, the long-range attacker, the trap master, the Ultraman Optimus Prime, the leader, the big brother!?
There's nothing at all! Are you guys here to fight or to have a picnic? The fate of countless worlds is going to be ruined in the hands of a bunch of unreliable Gods like you!
Even the usually calm Big Sister couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She said carefully, "Yup, your team's composition … is very strange, really strange …"
"It's no wonder. It's a certain last-place guy leading the team."
Lin Xue put her hand on her forehead and shook her head with a long sigh.
However, facing our reaction, Monina suddenly smiled mysteriously. "Looks like you guys have been deceived by our team leader's appearance."
I was stunned for a moment before I understood. "Jingle, she … Could she be the illegitimate daughter of the Supreme God?"
"Pfft!" Eersen spat on the spot.
Monina also had a defeated expression on her face. She said hesitantly, "Of course not. However, I'm sure that the team leader has some secrets that she hasn't told you guys. The first is her God-rank — — Beginner Goddess. But do you know? As a combat unit made up of elite Protoss, the requirements for a team like ours are very high. Beginner Gods can only be considered as soldiers in a team. Even for us, we are at most first-class soldiers. However, the team leader is the lowest level Trainee Goddess. In fact, half of her Goddess lessons are red lights! "
"She really is the illegitimate daughter of the Supreme God!"
Shallow Shallow concluded without hesitation.
Monina, who had finally managed to create a good atmosphere, almost fell head first into the bowl of soup in front of her. "That's because she's special!"
"The team leader doesn't have any so-called biological parents. She is an extremely rare individual that was born directly from the vines of the highest Goddess of Life's palace. She was born with her own Divine Domain Mark and grew up as the highest Goddess of Life's playmate. She burned down the little garden of the highest Goddess of Life three times in a row and destroyed the dressing table of the highest Goddess of Darkness twice. When she was preparing snacks for Lord Father God, she made seven mistakes in a row and fell asleep while chatting with the highest Dragon God. In the end, she fell down from the Dragon God Temple and fell into the teacup of Archon Osiris. She destroyed the teacup that was personally bestowed by Lord Father God as a treasure. Furthermore, she lost control of her Divine Power during the entrance examination and destroyed the last 23 beards of the invigilator …"
"I understand now." I looked up to the sky with tears streaming down my face. "Jingle's growth history is a shocking criminal history, right?"
"Err … I accidentally mixed in a lot of strange things halfway through."
Actually, other than the first sentence, everything else was strange, right?
"In short, the team leader is an extremely rare Origin God," Monina said awkwardly. "She might even be the first person in history to join the Osiris Council as a Primary Goddess. Furthermore, her relationship with the few Main Gods in the God Realm is inconceivable. Lord Father God even treats her as his own daughter. If it wasn't for the fact that other than her talent, her other achievements are simply too horrible to look at. Perhaps the team leader would already be serving in the Glorious God Court."
At this moment, we were all astonished.
It turned out that the little Jingle who had always been a happy mascot in our hearts was actually a … mascot with such a background and story?
No matter what, it was difficult to remove the attributes of a mascot!
However, although we all showed a little astonishment on our faces, after Monina finished speaking, we quickly calmed down. This made the other party feel a little strange. "Isn't your reaction a little too calm?"
"How else can I react?" Lin Xue spread her hands. "I've long felt that she wasn't ordinary. It's just that the difference in power level is too great, so I've never been able to see through her secrets. That's why I'm not surprised that you're telling me now."
"And more importantly," the big sister said with a faint smile on her face, "Jingle's identity is meaningless to us. That's far less important than what flavor of candy she likes recently."
"You guys …" Monina and Elson stared in bewilderment at the group of Empire's bystanders, whose way of thinking was completely different from ordinary people. Then, they smiled in relief. "Alright, I finally understand why the team leader would put aside all of her matters to 'play together' with you guys."
"Play together?"
I stared into the distance, speechless. Even if Monina didn't say it, I was a hundred percent sure that those were Jingle's original words …
At this moment, light footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door, interrupting our conversation. The person who came wasn't Artemis, who knew a little bit, because she had established a temporary mental connection with me. After giving Monina a look, I asked her to "clean up" the dining room a little, and then I went up to open the door to the activity room.
A short-haired girl with a baby face stood timidly at the door. So it was Ringyin.
"I'm so … so sorry! Sorry to disturb you! " Even though this wasn't the first time we spoke face to face, this girl's habit of easily getting nervous didn't improve at all. Even her slight stutter didn't get any better. "The team leader told … told me to call you guys … lunch … lunch time is here!"
Lunch …?
It was only then that I suddenly thought of this, and then I turned my head to look at the sumptuous dining table behind me, feeling a sense of selfishness and guilt for secretly wanting to eat delicious food … Nonsense, you shouldn't be thinking about this at a time like this, right!?
Due to Monina's ability to distort reality, Ringyin couldn't understand the scene in front of her, which was obviously just over the dining table, so she subconsciously ignored the inexplicable source of the sumptuous dining table and the luxurious portable kitchen behind it. But even if she could ignore the abnormality in front of her, we couldn't ignore the food in our stomachs!
"I don't think it's a good time to go back."
My big sister frowned, and in distress, she used the mental connection to send out a collective broadcast.
"OP + 1." Shallow Shallow blinked and seconded.
"Second floor + 1." Lin Xue and Liliana agreed at the same time, and then the two glared at each other. "You dare to cut the floor!?"
"… Forget it, let's go to the canteen."
In order to ensure that we didn't appear to be unsociable, in the end, we decided to accept Ringyin's invitation and join the Awakeners' lunch. Speaking of which, this was the first time that I went to the canteen with the identity of a 'newbie Awakener'. On the first day, there was a welcoming party for our arrival, and dinner was settled noisily. On the second morning, Liliana and I were busy investigating the situation at the edge of the world, so we didn't make it in time for dinner. On the way, we ate some snacks prepared by my big sister to stave off our hunger. Thus, when we followed Ringyin to the large canteen located at the south of the school, both Liliana and I were shocked.
"Right here?"
"Yeah." Ringyin was puzzled by my reaction. "Isn't the canteen here?"
"No … I mean, with these … 'ghosts'?"
"What does it matter?" Hu Wen, who was sitting at the table, seemed to be in a bad mood after waiting for a long time. "Just pretend that they don't exist. Food is readily available here. Although you won't die without eating, it's not a good thing to starve."
"Ugh, that's true." I mumbled and pulled Shallow Shallow to sit next to Artemis. Nearby, two other tables were also surrounded by members of the Awakeners. If one were to look closely, it was obvious that we had forcibly occupied this good spot. Not far away, a large group of ghost students were surrounding us with lunch in their hands. They stood blankly, looking at us with numb gazes.
Alright, I'll just ignore them.
To be honest, even though it was already the second day in this world, I still felt extremely uncomfortable with the strange surroundings. There were clearly living humans everywhere, and even the canteen was as noisy as a normal school. But in reality, those were all illusions that had nothing to do with me. The sense of separation between the two worlds was even more obvious in the hustle and bustle.
"Don't be fooled by the ghosts here," Hu Wen warmly reminded. "In the past, one of my companions made a mistake in this aspect — — or maybe it was intentional. In the canteen, he secretly left everyone and went to greet those students who looked the same as before. Then, it got out of hand … There, over there."
Following his direction, I saw two "students" in school uniforms sitting not far from us. One of them was a girl with a ponytail. She should be Hu Wen's former companion.
"Who's the guy next to her?" Shallow Shallow asked curiously.
"Her boyfriend," An unknown Awakener shrugged. "He wasn't as lucky as us. He directly became a ghost. Perhaps Lin chose to hypnotize herself because of him."
Lin, should be the name of the girl who voluntarily gave up her sanity and hypnotized herself into the past.
There should be more than one such example …
My sigh was suddenly interrupted by Artemis's voice. "Huh? Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry? "
No, I'm really not hungry.
But I can't say it out loud!
Sure enough, it's wrong to eat alone. I was wrong, I was really wrong.
Ever since I was young, my academic career was filled with deep resentment towards the school canteen. But who would have thought that this resentment would continue to this point. This is considered post-apocalyptic, you know? The ghosts of the post-apocalyptic canteen haven't even dispersed yet!!
"Ah Jun, from now on, I won't eat in the canteen anymore." After painfully finishing the most difficult meal of her life under the care and warm hospitality of the Awakeners, Shallow Shallow returned to the activity room and weakly clutched her stomach. "If only Sandora was here."
If that girl was here, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a canteen left.
My elder sister and I were also stuffed to the brim. Even Liliana was holding her round belly and lying on the sofa to show that she had already ascended to immortality. The only two people who were spared were probably Monina and Iersen. Artemis and the others turned a blind eye to these two like how the ghosts turned a blind eye to us. Speaking of which, Monina, if you have such a useful ability, would it kill you to help us?
Uh … Wait, why is Lin Xue also acting as if nothing happened? Could it be that her appetite is approaching Sandora's? Although it's not quite possible for her to catch up to the latter's level of emptying the national treasury, but even if it's just 1%, it could explain Lin Xue …
"It's just a different dimension." Lin Xue shrugged nonchalantly. "To think that you keep saying that Sandora's stomach is connected to a different dimension. Why can't you think of such a simple logic when it comes to your own head?"
My elder sister, Liliana and Shallow Shallow: "…"
This girl really needs to be educated properly!
