When the church personnel arrived, Celeste's attitude was very tough.
Grabbing Han Dong's wrist, the entire time, she forbade the touch of any church personnel and demanded to personally bring Han Dong back to the school to be baptized.
Also, there was the question of the reward for the bounty mission.
Cass is prepared to wait until Han Dong receives a full baptism and pressure release, the four members of the team gather and collect the reward together.
After leaving, Han Dong privately edited a message to Cass, asking him to go directly to collect the reward and split the coins equally at that time.
It was also mentioned that if the evaluation of this mission was an excellent grade, a fate item could be picked.
Han Dong was willing to give up this opportunity and give it to Cass or Coslin who didn't have a fate item yet, drastically increasing the survival rate of the next trip to the [Destiny Space].
Cass wrote back many times.
Han Dong, however, always refused, and strongly requested Cass to choose a prop that suited him.
In the end, Cass gave in.
Preparing to wait until Han Dong recovered, he thanked him in person and took charge of the preparations for the [Destiny Space] single-handedly.
There were multiple reasons for deliberately abandoning the Destiny prop.
Since Han Dong had decided to team up with Cass and the others for a long period of time, it was only optimal to share the item with his teammates when he already had a Fate Weapon himself.
In addition, Han Dong did not have the time to go to the Adventurer's Union for a series of quest submissions, checks, audits, and subsequent reward distribution and prop selection.
Han Dong had to spend the rest of the week deepening his familiarity with plague science and learning about the 'summoning class' from Mr. Black and White so as to explain Chen Li's existence.
In addition, Han Dong was the biggest winner of the event.
What he had harvested, in terms of value, could be several, even tens of times higher than a 'quality' level fate item.
Portable holding prison.
"Miss Chen Li... you're okay!?"
Worried about Chen Li's condition, Han Dong returns to the prison whenever he has time.
The smooth execution of the magic book seizure plan, but Chen Li put her life on the line, even if a second delay could fall into the abyss.
The severely injured Chen Li does not need to receive other forms of treatment at all.
Chen Li in the cell, is in a "tentacle access" state.
Her whole body is accessed by tentacles protruding from the wall, most importantly one tentacle at the back of her head.
These tentacles seemed to be providing Chen Li's 'host' with healing, and it was super-efficient... The piercings in her shoulders had completely recovered, and she didn't even have a scar.
Sensing the arrival of the 'master', Chen Li slowly opened her eyes, "...I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine, thank you so much this time."
Han Dong had come to express his gratitude.
With Chen Li unwilling to take risks, it was Han Dong who gave a kind of 'semi-coercive' order to carry on with the plan, thus causing Chen Li to be seriously injured.
"Let me rest a bit, my head is still a bit uncomfortable."
From Chen Li's cold tone, it could be heard that she was dissatisfied with the operation... but didn't express it directly because of the 'master-servant' relationship.
"Well, you rest well! Feel free to let me know if there's anything you need."
Han Dong turned to the sterile lab next door.
Delicate syringes were placed in the center of the room, and the interior was already filled with the "Cell Essence of the Fallen".
This was one of Han Dong's two major gains.
Staring at the tainted cell essence inside the syringe, Han Dong couldn't help but smile in an exaggerated manner.
"I wonder how many points the essence of an out-of-town creature can add to my weight value... And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary out-of-town creature."
Walk over to the ultra-clean workbench.
Carefully push these precious essences into your own body's cell mass.
Cell Essence has been fully injected, "Load Limit" has increased by 30 points (Fallen Sample), and the current individual load value is: 122/157.
Excitement for sure, but Han Dong always felt that it was still almost fun.
An out-of-town creature that could only make a knight eat his words had only increased by thirty points.
"I remember that in order to upgrade the Faceless Head and expand the size of the prison, I need to set aside at least fifty points... And there are still many parts of my body that need to be replaced, so it seems like there's still a long way to go to raise the "Load Limit".
It's nice to be able to increase it by thirty points, and once I get a quality limb, I'll be able to install it at any time as well."
Han Dong exited the [Portable Prison].
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
The current Han Dong is in the bathroom of the steam train returning to school.
Upon returning to the separate sleeping car.
The Celeste Knight in the room had removed her armor and was wearing only a tight white corset, leaning on the bed with her eyes closed.
Her streamlined, perfect figure, pure white, flawless skin, wavy blonde hair, and features that tended to be perfect were exposed before Han Dong's eyes.
Han Dong did not 'solemnize' when he saw this scene and just returned to his bedside seat with a normal face.
"What's your real name? I just had a friend look it up, [Aaron Andeva], there's no trainee knight by that name within the Mystic Department."
Celeste's source of information is fast.
Who knew that Han Dong, who had thought that the two-star Han Dong had been studying at the [Knight Academy] for a year, had just enrolled, which made Celeste even more interested.
"You gained two fate points in the Novice Event! But it's understandable, after all, you hold the power of life outside the city."
"Oh." Han Dong could only smile awkwardly.
At that moment, Han Dong's wind-up device rang, and it was Celeste who called.
"Remember my contact information, if there is any trouble in the future, but not enough moderate trouble to disturb Mr. Black and White, you can always find me."
Celeste's pride was strong, and she considered herself indebted to Han Dong in this incident and had to find an opportunity to repay it.
"Oh right, one more thing... you should be heading to the [Destiny Space] next week in a group with my sister, right?"
"You can fully display your strength when necessary.
I'll be waiting for you at the exit early after the Destiny Space ends, so don't worry about the squad members revealing your secrets... No matter what, be sure to protect Sophia.
If anything happens to her, I'll look for you to settle the score."
Han Dong looked innocent, this was supposed to be Cass' burden, how come it was shifted to him all of a sudden.
"Hmm...your sister doesn't seem to like me much; I'll do my best."
"It's none of my business if Fia is interested in you or not, I just care that Fia makes it out alive...but hey, I'm interested in you."
The words sounded a bit ambiguous.
