Chapter 50: How Do I Look Like a Heretic?

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ There’s no punishment, but no matter what happens, you can’t just quit. You have to stay for the entire duration of the mission. If you paid with Comprehensive Network Coins to enter, then you can quit anytime. ）” Matthew explained. He was just killing time now, waiting for the mission time to pass.

He originally thought that even if he couldn’t complete this mission, he could still fish in troubled waters for some benefits. But after he came here, he realized that this place was ridiculously dangerous.

Everywhere were terrifying zombies, and there were some strange classifications. With his strength, it was debatable whether he could protect himself here, let alone complete the mission, so he desperately needed a companion to help him.

“Meow meow~ （ If that’s the case, then it’s not too bad. ）”

Li Li breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no penalty, it would be fine. He was afraid that he wouldn’t accomplish anything and would be fined.

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ So are you willing to help me? If you’re willing to help me, I’ll take you to find food right away. ）” Matthew asked. He had been chatting with the other party for so long, was the other party willing to help him or not?

“Meow meow~ （ Helping is no problem, but the premise is that you can’t take me to dangerous places. ）” Li Li said. It was fine to help, but whether it would work or not was another matter. But the prerequisite was that they couldn’t go to dangerous places.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~ （ That’s for sure. You don’t want your life, but I do. How could I go to such a dangerous place? ）” Matthew said. Did the other party think he was a risk-taking fairy? Did the other party think he was a daredevil adventurer like those lunatics?

“Meow meow~ （ If that’s the case, then that’s fine. But you have to listen to my advice. ）” After listening, Li Li nodded his big head and said.

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ Why is that? You’re helping me, you should listen to me. ）” Matthew said, feeling a little absurd that he had to listen to the other party when he was asking for help.

“Meow meow~ （ Do you know about zombies? Do you live in this kind of society? Do you know how to influence the course of the world? ）” Li Li stared at Matthew and asked three questions in a row.

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ Uh, I don’t know any of them. ）” Matthew was stunned and replied after a while.

“Meow meow~ （ That’s why you have to listen to me. I live in modern society, so what I’m exposed to is different from yours. ）” Li Li looked at Matthew and said, “Meow meow~ （ Your mission is to change the course of the world, but it doesn’t say how to change it. We’ll just go and cause some destruction, you know? ）”

“Meow meow~ （ I’m the best at this kind of thing. Later, we’ll go blow up gas stations, destroy power lines, damage natural gas pipelines, and set fires everywhere. ）”

Since the people of this world were unkind, then don’t blame him for being unrighteous.

How dare they lay their hands on such a cute kitty? He would let all those guys know how dangerous that would be.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~ （ You…… you’re not a follower of an evil god, are you? ）” Matthew’s eyes widened and he backed away, trembling.

Such acts of arson and vandalism were only done by followers who pleased evil gods, right?

At this moment, in his eyes, Li Li seemed to have a pair of dark wings and two small horns on his head, like a little devil.

“Meow meow~ （ I’m not a follower of some broken evil god. This is called revenge for a grudge, and a grievance for a complaint, understand? ）” Li Li said angrily when he heard this. “Meow meow~ （ Do you still want to complete this mission? If we don’t cause some major destruction, how can we change the course of the world? ）”

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ But if we do it your way, it feels a bit evil. ）” Matthew said. Although their forest elves were not biased towards humans, they were not evil either.

The way the other party was acting, they looked like villains.

“Meow meow~ （ If you don’t want to do it, I can’t help it. But you have to take me to find food first. ）” Li Li said. Why was this guy so rigid? He was trying to help him out, but the other party thought he was a follower of an evil god.

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ Okay, I’ll think about what you said. I’ll take you to find food first. ）” Matthew said, slowly climbing down from the tree.

Li Li was speechless when he saw this. The other party was a forest elf, how could they be so slow? Could they at least be a little more agile?

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ What are you still doing up in the tree? Didn’t you say you were hungry and wanted to eat? ）” Matthew, who had spent some time climbing down, looked at Li Li, who was still standing on the branch, and asked.

“Meow meow~ （ Getting down from a tree is a very simple matter, okay? I was waiting for you to get down first, so as not to damage your self-confidence. ）” Li Li said, sliding down from the eight or nine meter tall tree in a few moves.

Matthew couldn’t help but say enviously, “Gurgle gurgle gurgle~ （ You’re so fast. I’ve never seen any creature with such agile skills. ）”

“Meow meow~ （ Isn’t this normal? After all, climbing trees is my specialty. But you forest elves, don’t you climb trees even though you live in the forest? ）” Li Li asked, looking around and being wary of any possible danger.

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ We forest elves don’t live in trees, we live on the ground. So it’s normal for us to be slow at climbing trees, right? ）” Matthew explained, taking out a staff with a burl on it and said, “Gurgle gurgle~ （ I’m going to cast a spell, you keep an eye on the surroundings for me. ）”

“Meow meow~ （ I know, I know. I’m watching now. If there’s any danger, I’ll grab you and run right away. ）” Li Li nodded. The other party was so slow at getting down from the tree, he just hoped that the other party’s spell casting speed could be faster.

Otherwise, if the zombies came, he could only grab the other party and run.

After all, judging from the other party’s speed, they might turn into an elf zombie by then.

Just as Li Li was thinking this, the mud under his feet suddenly softened. It was like the mud in a swamp, making him sink.

Just as he jumped out in fright, he heard Matthew’s voice: “Gurgle gurgle~ （ Don’t struggle, this is my magic. The food you’re looking for is down there. ）”

“Meow meow~ （ Who buries food underground? ）” Li Li complained, and the whole cat sank into the soil.

A strong sense of suffocation came over him at once. Just when he thought he was about to suffocate, he suddenly fell on something.

“Gurgle gurgle~ （ Okay, we’re here. ）” Matthew said, straightening his crooked hat.
