Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 383: The Commission Completed and the Adorable Tiger Descends from Mount Yunkui

While they were chatting and drinking tea downstairs, the Herrscher of Knowledge came out upstairs with a happy expression, while Damian, who had issued the commission, came out with a gloomy face, looking like he had eaten shit.

It's obvious without even thinking that the Herrscher of Knowledge must have squeezed a hefty sum out of Damian. She went to Kiana and the others' tea table, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Damian followed. Although he was very unhappy about being extorted by the Herrscher of Knowledge again, he still had to provide the necessary support. After handing over the data on the location of the commissioned vehicle to the Herrscher of Knowledge, Damian left.

After obtaining the data, the Herrscher of Knowledge fiddled with her phone for a while to connect the drone to her live stream. Once outside, she conducted a test flight before being reprimanded by the arriving sheriff.

The reason is that personal drones now need to be registered with the local police station, and the drone that Shi Zhi Lu Zhe had recently bought was one she had forgotten about while test-flying in Tai Xu Mountain these past few days. However, everyone living in Cheng Hui Ping knows Shi Zhi Lu Zhe, so the police officer just said a few words and returned the drone to her.

This also allowed the viewers in the live stream to once again feel the connections that the Herrscher of Knowledge has in Chenghuiping. After all, if the normal procedure were followed, the drones that were not registered would be confiscated, and they would be taken away only after the registration process was completed.

"Of course! Don't you know who I am? I am the great Lady of Knowledge, the Herald of Knowledge. A mere sheriff is nothing to me!"

While replying to the comments, the Herrscher of Knowledge proudly raised her almost flat chest, looking incredibly smug. Unfortunately, the silly viewers in the live stream weren't going to indulge her.

[I don't understand, so I'm asking: Why would a streamer have a metal plate installed in her chest?]

[Exactly, I don't understand why the host would humiliate himself when it's just a Hasee tablet.]

"You guys...!"

[But aren't you curious about that new face behind the streamer? That gentle, long-haired woman with green hair is definitely my wife!]

[I thought it wasn't even night yet? How can someone be dreaming here?]

[Get out of the way, my urine is yellow, let me spray him to wake him up!]

Thank you for your hospitality.

[？ ？ ？ ]Xn

A strong urge to complain lingered in the Herrscher of Knowledge's chest. She had a thousand curses she wanted to utter, but unfortunately, her cultural literacy was insufficient to allow her to use vulgar language. In the end, all her words were transformed into two short words that slowly escaped from the Herrscher of Knowledge's mouth.

"…unbelievable."

"Never mind, you definitely know one of the two behind me, so I won't introduce her. The other one with green hair is my friend, Qi..."

"Morning Star, you can just call me Morning Star," Kiana forcefully interjected, introducing herself to the camera.

[Morning Star? That doesn't sound like a name at all!]

[It's obvious that Sister Qimingxing doesn't want to reveal her real name; the streamer almost did just now.]

[So, "qi" means that the real name of the Morning Star contains the character "qi"?]

[Very likely, but since the other party doesn't want to disclose it, let's not pursue it further.]

On the other side, the Herrscher of Knowledge was already drenched in sweat. Just as the comments said, she almost blurted out Kiana's name. If Kiana hadn't reacted in time, she probably would have seen that black fox leading a group of people at Chenghuiping that afternoon.

"Ahem, anyway, I just happened to take on a commission that requires me to go to the Limnian Void, so I'll take this opportunity to let you see firsthand the production process of Viridian's specialty—Radiant Porcelain!"

[This isn't a good idea. It's someone else's trade secret; won't they get sued if they just broadcast it?]

"Don't worry." The Herrscher of Knowledge clicked his tongue and shook his finger, "I naturally got the authorization. It's just that the parts involving the production line can't be broadcast, but I can show you how the pyroxene ore is mined and sent to the production line."

[666]

[The streamer is really something, managing to get this kind of authorization.]

[That's right, Master Shi is one of the few remaining resident cultivators in Wei Fei Land. Whenever there's trouble in the cave, everyone goes to Master Shi for help. No one in Wei Fei Land disrespects her!]

[From what you're saying, you're a local?]

[Of course, the Tea Master behind Master Shi is arguably the signature teahouse of Chenghuiping. To be honest, I was watching the live stream there.]

[Wow, I'm so envious.]

……

The Herrscher of Knowledge ignored the banter in the comments and instead turned to look at Kiana.

"Morning Star, this is a rare opportunity. Would you like to come with me for a stroll inside the Hollow?"

"Huh? Me?" Kiana frantically waved her arms. "I don't need to go, I'm just an information broker, I don't have the power of someone like you, Xiaoshi."

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Kiana with a strange expression, as if to say, "Are you making fun of me?"

Meanwhile, the chat in the live stream also began to advise the Herrscher of Knowledge not to bring ordinary people into the Void. After all, they knew the Herrscher of Knowledge's strength, but Venus was not the Herrscher of Knowledge. What if the other party was not even qualified for Aether Adaptability?

They didn't want to watch such a beautiful young lady turn into a corpse, or perish because of the Herrscher of Knowledge's inadequate protection, while the Herrscher of Knowledge would be burdened with infamy and have to graduate and leave the internet.

However, the Herrscher of Knowledge didn't care about any of that. Didn't she know that those netizens didn't know the specifics? So she forcefully pulled Kiana's hand and walked towards the cable car. Behind them, the Book of Azure Xuan waved goodbye to the two of them while eating steamed buns, and told them to come back soon.

"Master Xiao Xuan, is it really a good idea to just watch Master Shi pull that Morning Star Miss into the Void like this?" Hong Dou asked worriedly. "After all, that young lady doesn't look like she's a martial arts expert at all. What if something happens to her?"

After returning to his seat, Cang Xuanzhi finished his steamed bun, picked up his chopsticks, and reached for the small steamed buns on the table. He picked up a small steamed bun and put it in his mouth, revealing a happy expression.

"You don't need to worry about Qimingxing's safety. In fact, even if something happened to Xiaoshi, I don't think anything would happen to her, so don't worry~"

Meanwhile, inside the Lemnian Void, the Herrscher of Knowledge was watching with a speechless expression as Kiana screamed in fear and was chased by a skeleton. (See Subaru's speechless, pursed-lip expression for details.)

Especially considering this is only the lowest-level Ikumo, you have to understand that maintaining good facial expressions is very difficult. The Herrscher of Knowledge is currently undergoing a test, a test to ensure she can maintain her composure in front of thousands of viewers.

However, the viewers in the live stream clearly didn't think that way. Right now, they just wanted to urge the Herrscher of Knowledge to quickly save Kiana, but the Herrscher of Knowledge remained unmoved.

Finally cornered, Kiana, with tears in her eyes, closed her eyes in fear as she watched Mukuro approach her step by step.

"Hey!!! Don't come any closer!!!"

He then punched Yi Hai, and Yi Hai exploded like a balloon that had been inflated.

Seeing this, Kiana silently withdrew her fist, then lightly tapped her head, sticking out her tongue playfully and saying, "Oops, I accidentally used too much force, hehe!"

The Lawbringer remained silent, maintaining her tense expression as she looked at Kiana, who was farming items. The live stream fell silent for a moment, then erupted with a barrage of comments.

[Holy crap! What did I just see?! Miss Morning Star punched and blew up a corpse?!]

[Is this what you mean by "feelings don't have the power of yours"? (laughing and crying)]

[Indeed, someone who can blast through Yi Hai with a single punch is truly rare (laughing and crying)]

[I knew the streamer had such a tense expression; she knew Miss Qimingxing was playing dumb to fool everyone (facepalm)]

[I've completely figured out Morning Star's identity! Morning Star is actually Hikari's human form!]

[You've explained nothing at all!]

"...Anyway, let's keep moving forward."

Soon the two arrived at the location of the commission, and their expressions became solemn as they looked at the dense aura of the Herrscher of Consciousness ahead.

This kind of foul breath, which even alters the environment to a certain extent, doesn't seem like something that someone would regularly come to deal with the remains. Although the existence of the foul breath is not directly related to the remains, dealing with the remains inside can suppress the accumulation of the foul breath to some extent.

However, the current situation seems to be a result of letting things develop unchecked. Undoubtedly, there is already a being with a shield of filth controlling the filth in this area.

There are two ways to deal with this situation. One is to find nearby nodes where the foul energy gathers and clear them out to eliminate the foul energy in the area. After that, you just need to deal with the elite with the foul shield.

Of course, since those nodes are all connected to the elite skeleton, it is also possible to go straight to the heart of the matter and eliminate the elite skeleton, thus clearing out this filthy area.

The Herrscher of Knowledge guessed that since the investigators from the Void Investigation Association who were dispatched this time did not know how to deal with the filth, they simply dealt with the outer skeletons to prevent them from getting close to the production line.

The foul energy in this area was left to develop unchecked until an elite being emerged to control it appeared, and then they would take action to eliminate it. However, things ultimately went wrong.

Although the Lawbringer of Knowledge can indeed purify the magic of impurity, the Lawbringer of Knowledge prefers to solve problems by fighting rather than using such troublesome methods.

However, the live streaming platform they were on was ultimately a legitimate video platform, so overly violent scenes were not allowed to appear on the live stream. Previously, Kiana's kills were so fast and dramatic that the platform's moderators couldn't immediately determine if it was a violation.

Moreover, the purpose of this live stream was to let more people understand the knowledge related to the tainted breath; going directly to fight would defeat the purpose of popularizing science.

So even though the Law Master was reluctant, he still held his nose and explained the knowledge of various kinds of foul breath to the viewers in the live broadcast room while using magic to purify it.

Although not everyone can learn the later spells after watching them once, the explanations at the beginning are still useful. However, the comments on the screen saying "[I failed]" don't look like anyone has actually learned them.

Soon, the node where the foul energy gathered was purified by the Herrscher of Consciousness, and the corpses along the way were all instantly killed by the Herrscher of Consciousness and Kiana with a single punch each.

As the saying goes, as long as I'm fast enough, the moderators can't ban me.

In the end, only the most crucial skeleton remained unresolved. However, after being weakened by the Herrscher of Knowledge, it was now nothing more than a small fish that could be slaughtered at will.

The enemy was easily defeated, but because the Herrscher of Knowledge was worried that her live stream would be banned, she cut off the live stream before the battle began. Viewers could only enjoy the clanging and banging sounds of the battle.

After completing the main objective, the Herrscher of Knowledge restored the live stream and began to return to the vicinity of the Shining Crystal factory to conduct inspections, in case the Evil Spirit or the Skeleton was still nearby. At the same time, she also introduced the relevant processes of mining Shining Crystal to the viewers.

The workers nearby were also enthusiastically invited by the Herrscher of Knowledge to come over and educate the audience. After the inspection was completed, the Herrscher of Knowledge took Kiana and left the Void.

[To be honest, I've been curious about this from the beginning. Aren't there no way to transmit signals from inside a cavity? How come the streamer can still broadcast live?]

[As mentioned earlier, current technology has long since enabled communication between the inside and outside of a void, but this technology hasn't been fully implemented for civilian use yet. If you want to use it, don't even think about getting it for less than tens of thousands of dinosaurs.]

[Tens of thousands of dinosaurs? Come on, the latency inside and outside that level is huge. For a streamer to achieve almost zero latency, they'd probably be using military technology; that's not something money can buy.]

After exiting the cave, the Herald of Knowledge immediately noticed that there seemed to be people active in the Casual Temple next to the cable car. It should be noted that the Casual Temple was Yun Kui Shan's stronghold in Wei Fei.

Since Yunkui Mountain withdrew from Weifei, this place has been abandoned. Apart from Yunkui Mountain disciples coming to clean it up every now and then to prevent it from falling into disrepair, no one visits it anymore.

However, judging by the time, it was about time for the disciples of Yunkui Mountain to come and clean up. Sure enough, just as the Herrscher of Knowledge had guessed, a petite blonde girl walked out of the casual temple the next second.

"Ah! It's Master Fu Shi! Long time no see!"

"Hey! Ju Fufu, long time no see."

After greeting everyone, the Herrscher of Knowledge placed her hand on Tachibana Fukufu's head and began to stroke it. Tachibana Fukufu happily accepted the Herrscher of Knowledge's touch at first, but then, realizing what was happening, she puffed out her cheeks and shouted.

"Master Fu Shi! How many times have I told you I'm not a cat!"

"Who is Xiaoshi?"

"Oh, I haven't introduced her to you yet. Her name is Ju Fufu, and she's the senior disciple of Yunkui Mountain. As for her race, it's probably obvious from her appearance..."

Upon hearing this, Ju Fufu proudly raised its chest, its tail wagging happily behind it.

"...It's the orange cat Xiren."

Click!

Tachibana Fukufuku froze, then angrily drooped the body of the Herrscher of Knowledge with tears in her eyes.

"It's Hu Xiren! Master Fu Shi, really, he just likes to bully me!"

Kiana stared at the creature before her, which seemed to have grown up on cuteness, and fell silent. This looked more like a cat than a tiger.

Is it a cute tiger?
