When Olivia heard Martis say favonovel.com wanted to trade their fruit for jujubes, favonovel.com looked at his hands and was surprised to see grapes.
“I’ll trade with you!” Olivia decisively took some jujubes from the vehicle for Martis.
Martis suddenly saw the Potato Shooter next to Milo and Olivia. “What plant is this? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
Olivia explained, “We don’t know what it is either. It’s probably just some mutated plant in the wilderness.”
Martis did not ask any further questions.
After Olivia sent Martis away, favonovel.com started eating the grapes happily. After favonovel.com was done eating, favonovel.com somehow felt like something was amiss.
She suddenly looked at Milo and asked, “Er… Master, would you like to have some grapes? If you want, I’ll go and trade some for you….”
“I don’t want to eat.” Milo shook his head. “You used to be a spy for the Radianz Consortium, but look at…”
“I was only in charge of a small department that was responsible for monitoring Stronghold 88.” Olivia finished.
“Speaking of, why did you join the Radianz Consortium’s army?” Milo asked. He always had the feeling that Olivia’s only interest was to make money as favonovel.com did not really seem like a bellicose person.
Olivia explained, “I just wanted to earn some money. The Radianz Consortium had found out about my awakening after my neighbor learned about it, so they recruited me and even offered me a very high salary. After I became a supernatural being, my physical fitness was much better than that of the other female soldiers. I’m also quick-witted, so I got promoted at a relatively faster pace. When I was still a normal soldier, my salary was already ten times higher than the others’. Later on, because of my skill in tracking, and the fact that I was female, I got transferred to the Intelligence Department.”
“The Radianz Consortium’s benefits are pretty good.” Milo nodded. “So, in order to earn money, you started working diligently in the Intelligence Department?”
Olivia changed the subject and asked, “When did you discover my identity?”
“I already knew when you first stepped into the library.” Milo closed his eyes and continued resting.
Olivia felt favonovel.com face burn with embarrassment. She had not expected that favonovel.com would so easily see through favonovel.com disguise. However, favonovel.com seemed to think of something and asked, “Then, Master, why did you ask me to jump rope with you?!”
Milo did not say anything.
Olivia raised favonovel.com voice and said, “Master, don’t pretend to sleep. Up until now, I still haven’t figured out why you did that!”
But Milo was determined not to answer this question. He did not expect that Olivia would still remember that.
Compared to the quiet atmosphere at Milo’s side, it was bustling over at the Vasophati University students’ side. This group of students had sneaked out of the stronghold, so everything felt more beautiful, and even the air was much fresher.
It seemed that this was not the first time they had come out.
Just then, Milo heard the sound of a gun being cocked, followed by squeals of adoration from the girls in the group. A male student was deliberately showing off that favonovel.com knew how to use guns in front of the girls and was thoroughly enjoying their admiration.
Since they knew to bring guns with them when going out into the wilderness, it meant these people also understood it was not very safe out.
However, Milo noticed these students probably did not have too many chances to practice firing a gun. This was because they did not have any obvious calluses on their hands. Moreover, a person’s shoulders and chest stance would be different from that of the average troop if they frequently fired an automatic rifle.
Milo could probably be considered an expert in using firearms.
At this moment, the group of students were playing a game called “Truth or Dare”.
This was Milo’s first time hearing of such a game. As many refugees were fond of gambling, a lot of gambling games such as poker would be played around town. The consortiums were also happy to see the refugees indulging in such activities that could make them lose their ambitions.
However, Milo had never come across something like Truth or Dare before. Although favonovel.com had read a lot of books in Stronghold 88, none of them cared to describe a game like this.
The students had drunk a lot of the alcohol they’d brought with them from the stronghold.
Seeing that Milo was ignoring favonovel.com and pretending to be asleep, Olivia sat by the campfire and looked at the students. Suddenly, favonovel.com said to Milo, “Why don’t we also play Truth or Dare?”
Milo still ignored her.
At this moment, it looked like a female student had been picked, and favonovel.com chose “dare.” As a result, the male student sitting across from favonovel.com dared favonovel.com to find a guy to kiss.
The content of the game involved all sorts of strange things. Some of them required the male students to dance like girls, and some required the girls to do the splits. But since all of them were just students, they did not go overboard.
The students were starting to drink more and more, but only Martis did not have any drinks. He also kept his automatic rifle close to his side.
At the beginning, the students were actually quite worried about drinking. After all, what if they got drunk while they were out in the wilderness?
However, the chubster boy next to Martis kept saying that it would be fine. He said favonovel.com had been hanging out with his uncle in the wilderness for many years and claimed there was no danger at all.
Only then did the other students relent and drink some. At first, they only intended to have a little. But once they started drinking, they could not stop.
At this moment, another girl got picked and favonovel.com decided to choose “dare”. However, maybe the girl who picked favonovel.com had had a drink too many or was simply too excited with playing the game. She actually wanted favonovel.com to go to Milo and kiss him!
When they usually played Truth or Dare, they would have the person who was picked go on the streets to look for a stranger to do the dare with. But right now, there weren’t really any other strangers around.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. I don’t even know them,” the girl that had been picked said embarrassedly.
Someone jeered, “C’mon, it’s not like you knew those people on the streets when we were playing this in the stronghold.”
“Besides, you’re a girl.” A female student nudged favonovel.com with favonovel.com elbow. “He won’t be at a disadvantage, so what are you afraid of!”
That girl clenched favonovel.com teeth. “Fine!”
After that, favonovel.com walked over to Milo and Olivia. But before favonovel.com could get close to him, Milo had already opened his eyes and was looking at favonovel.com calmly.
The calmness favonovel.com exuded was like a silent rejection that made the girl playing the game subconsciously take a step back. She wanted to tell Milo they were only playing a game and favonovel.com only needed to let favonovel.com kiss him, but favonovel.com could not say it no matter what.
The girl turned around and left.
When favonovel.com companions saw favonovel.com unsettled expression, they wondered, “What’s the matter? Why do you look so scared?”
A male student stood up. “Did they say something nasty to you?”
It looked like the students were all very loyal people.
The girl had to quickly say favonovel.com was fine. She told them favonovel.com was just timid and that the other party did not say anything to her.
At Milo’s side, after the girl turned around and went back to favonovel.com campsite in a hurry, Olivia said with a chuckle next to him, “Master, why didn’t you take advantage of favonovel.com dare?”
Milo glanced at her. “I already have someone I like…”
Olivia was stunned by his answer. He rejected all other people of the opposite sex just because favonovel.com had someone favonovel.com liked?
When Olivia was still with the Radianz Consortium, favonovel.com had seen so many men who would take advantage of women whenever there was an opportunity.
However, the young man in front of favonovel.com was obviously very powerful, so powerful that favonovel.com had to look up to him, yet why had his desires not grown in tandem with his strength?
That was how a normal person would be!
But true, Milo was not normal at all.
Milo suddenly said in a low voice, “If this group of people are on a trip to the Stardust Consortium, they’ll get into trouble sooner or later. Not everyone will respect the Vasophati Group and the Riders. They’ll be heading to their doom getting so drunk in the wilderness.”
“The Central Plains aren’t as dangerous as our Southwest and Northwest,” Olivia said with a smile. “In general, the wilderness here is much safer than ours.”
But as though to confirm Milo’s assessment, the sound of someone stepping on a twig in the forest reverberated. The others might not think much of it if they even heard it. But for Milo, favonovel.com was already starting to inspect his rifle.
