Little Fool (Chapter 209)
When they finally left the team store, not only did they get the free weapon from the mission reward, but they also spent 15, 000 team points to buy a pair of rings that allowed unlimited distance communication.
Although it was said to be unlimited distance, it would still fail beyond a certain range...
But it was a ring!
And it was a pair of exquisitely crafted, beautiful rings, one for her and one for Gu Luoyu.
The symbolic meaning was different from others.
This makes the usually stingy Ye Sheng grit her teeth and buy it directly, then solemnly place it on Gu Luoyu's ring finger, marking her with her personal brand!
This woman was hers!
Even though the wasteland world no longer had a marriage system, and naturally, there were no rings as tokens between couples, Ye Sheng was not a pure wasteland native.
She certainly hadn't forgotten the wedding ring that held special significance in the original world!
After seeing Ye Sheng's solemn expression, Gu Luoyu thought for a moment, then imitated her action by picking up the other ring, raising Ye Sheng's hand, and placing the ring on her ring finger.
The silver rings were inlaid with some black diamond chips and engraved with symmetrical, beautiful patterns, making the rings' appearance skyrocket.
If it wasn't for the high price, they probably wouldn't have been available for Ye Sheng to buy.
Although the cost left her identity card balance with just over a thousand, it was hard to put a price on happiness. It was just some points; she could earn them back later.
However, after completing the team mission, the two decided to take a break for a while, so they didn't immediately take on a new mission but planned to stay in the safe zone for a few days.
After leaving the team mission hall, Ye Sheng immediately excitedly explained the meaning of the wedding ring.
Upon hearing that wearing the ring on the ring finger signified marriage and that the person was already taken, Gu Luoyu couldn't help but gently curl her lips.
Then, looking down at the ring on her hand, she went from being indifferent to really liking it.
It just took a moment.
She liked having Ye Sheng's mark on her.
Looking at the ring on Ye Sheng's finger, her red eyes couldn't help but squint, her mood even more delighted.
It was just a pity that the wasteland world didn't have a marriage policy, or else she would definitely drag Ye Sheng to get a marriage certificate.
However...
Ye Sheng knew so much knowledge that didn't belong to the wasteland world, which was clearly abnormal.
This little scatterbrain.
If you're going to hide it, hide it better, don't always leave loopholes.
Gu Luoyu, who saw through it but didn't say anything, shook her head helplessly.
Then, seeing Ye Sheng staring intently at the cakes and snacks, she didn't continue thinking about it but instead accompanied Ye Sheng in selecting cakes from the store.
Never mind that Ye Sheng was from another world, even if she were a transformed pollution creature, she would still like her!
...
In the original plan, they were supposed to rest in the safe zone for a few days, but plans couldn't keep up with changes.
The day after returning to the base, early in the morning,
Team Leader Lin immediately contacted them through the superpower network, probably worried about angering the Esper, so the main person contacted was Ye Sheng.
Thus, Ye Sheng, who had stayed up late, was woken up and sat up in a daze, exuding a low-pressure aura.
After waking up a little more, she glared angrily at her wristwatch, her puffed-up expression amused Gu Luoyu.
However, when Ye Sheng suddenly looked up, Gu Luoyu's smile instantly disappeared, and she frowned, saying, “Block the other party, so you won't be disturbed in the future.”
Not saying to kill the other party was already significant progress.
Since being with Ye Sheng, Gu Luoyu had noticed her emotions had stabilized a lot, and she no longer had the impulse to kill as easily as before... Of course, only before her battle desire was ignited. Once she got into a fight, she was still the feared killing maniac.
Such words of solidarity immediately improved Ye Sheng's mood.
She quickly climbed onto Gu Luoyu, cupping that beautiful face and planting a few kisses. After satisfying herself, the anger from being woken up was long gone.
Only then did she open the superpower network wristwatch and choose to answer the call.
Deleting wasn't an option, or else how would she receive lucrative missions in the future~
From the last time, Ye Sheng had realized that the truly profitable missions weren't just there for the taking; they require some connections to get more suitable tasks.
It could also help them quickly shorten the time to form a team.
Thinking about the need to hand over 10% of the points to the team upon completing a mission, Ye Sheng's determination to form her own team has become very firm!
When the call was answered, Team Leader Lin's voice immediately sounded, “Good morning, Miss Ye. There's a special team mission here, very dangerous, but the mission reward is very generous. Are you interested in taking it?”
Team Leader Lin didn't beat around the bush but got straight to the point, which made Ye Sheng's desire to complain disappear, and her expression turned serious instead.
When it came to work, she couldn't be careless.
Gu Luoyu, who was being used as a cushion, was in a relaxed state. She grabbed Ye Sheng's soft hand, rubbed it, then interlocked their fingers, the rings on their fingers clinking.
“Team Leader Lin, can you tell me the specific rewards?”
The more dangerous the mission, the more generous the rewards, so one could infer the difficulty from the rewards... As for why she didn't directly ask about the mission content, since Team Leader Lin hadn't mentioned it initially, it was clear that the mission required confidentiality.
In such a case, naturally, she couldn't expose it; asking further would be futile.
“Here's the thing, as long as you complete this mission, upon returning to the base, you can ignore the requirements and directly form your own team! Besides that, there's also a reward of 5,000 team points and a subsidy of ten A-grade energy stones, which can be issued in advance.”
Hearing the mission rewards, Ye Sheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; it was indeed generous.
Not to mention anything else, just the condition of ignoring other requirements to form a team that accurately hits the sweet spot.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would have had to complete several more team missions to meet the formation conditions... Now, with a shortcut right in front of them, it made one's heart start to itch.
Fortunately, Ye Sheng's rationality hadn't fled. She didn't reply immediately but looked up at Gu Luoyu.
Her watery black eyes stared straight at Gu Luoyu, waiting for her advice on whether to accept the mission.
Given Ye Sheng's understanding of Gu Luoyu, she definitely wouldn't care about this level of danger, but ever since she got pregnant, it was as if she had become a fragile glass person, making Gu Luoyu extra cautious.
(ಥ_ಥ)
Even deciding to rest in the safe zone was Gu Luoyu's call, with the reason being to prevent her from overexerting herself.
Therefore, whether to accept this mission or not, Ye Sheng wasn't sure.
As Ye Sheng was thinking about this, Gu Luoyu reached out and hugged Ye Sheng, her bright and beautiful red eyes looking over, directly saying, “We'll take this mission.”
