I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 239 Comments.]

[Keltic_Spirit: In these sorts of stories, there is always a trade. The more difficult a quest, the bigger the reward. Another example is that the easier a 'quest' is, the next 'difficult' one will be so much harder.]

…

"We're finally back!" Oliver stretched his body while yawning.

Maya and Haruka looked at him in disgust, while Avalon pretty much didn't care about him or his behavior. Of course, the battle maids had been stored inside his Inventory.

"Haruka. Come to my room later," said Theo with a nonchalant expression.

Such orders could easily be misunderstood, but none of the students dared to tease Theo. They even remembered how Theo stored a human body inside his body. If they pissed Theo too much, there was a chance that they would be at a place where it was impossible to return.

Haruka nodded her head, knowing that she should be performing the ritual. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

The group returned to the office building where the base's commander worked. They were greeted by the robot.

"Welcome back, Mr. Theo and his students. The commander is waiting for you on the top floor. Please allow me to guide you."

The robot was polite and behaved like a normal human even though its voice was monotone.

Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Please."

The robot immediately led them to the top floor and knocked on the commander's door twice. "Master. The guests have returned."

"Please come in."

The robot opened the door. After Theo and the others entered, the robot closed the door and remained outside.

"Welcome back, Mr. Theo. I apologize for not being able to greet you immediately."

"Haha. We know that the commander is busy. I think we should skip the pleasantries and talk about the mission."

"That would be good." The commander's expression changed.

Theo took out his Lumina and showed several pictures, starting from the original picture of the Vanguard Zombie to the appearance of a Tier 6 worm as well as the horde of zombies.

"This is…" The commander gasped. "We need to assemble our people right now. If they are to attack the base—"

Before he finished, Theo added, "Don't worry. We've killed them all. You only need to send people to investigate the area since we don't want to inspect the hole and the underground city that the worm has made."

"That's understandable." The commander became calmer when he saw the picture of the death worm as well as the numerous corpses of the zombies. "I believe we have to reassess the mission first. You've done a lot more than just killing a Tier 4 zombie, so I can't just give the same amount of reward."

Even though the commander said it that way, he was going to add some compensation since it was a mistake on his part. He didn't calculate the possibility of a worm coming out of nowhere.

"Alright." Theo agreed. It would be rude to reject it since that is a fact. Instead of being humble, it was better to acknowledge the commander's mistake and get compensation to settle the problem. This way, both parties would be happy and Theo wouldn't look like a pushover.

"Thank you. You must be tired after fighting so many zombies. Please get some rest for tonight. I'll visit you tomorrow."

"Sure." Theo nodded. Before leaving, Theo raised a finger. "By the way, if I'm not wrong, this world is plagued with not only zombies but cannibals. The latter is more dangerous because they're very secretive."

"Yes." The commander furrowed his eyebrows, not understanding why Theo would bring up this topic.

"I actually encountered some cannibals during the mission. With the help of my ability, I managed to get some information from the cannibals, or more like… the general direction of their base."

"What? Are you sure?" The commander stood up in disbelief. As Theo said, the cannibals were indeed more troublesome than the zombies. It was shown by the difference in the commander's reaction.

"You still need to check it, but if it turns out to be wrong, you can just cut a part of the reward to compensate the brave warriors who dare to check their location."

"I understand."

Theo then took out the map and pointed at the location where he fought the cannibals. "It's in this direction…"

The commander followed the direction on the map and saw an abandoned vicinity. While it wasn't accurate, the fact that they knew where they were hiding made this information priceless. He didn't know how many people would have died if he let them roam around his area like this.

"Thank you, Mr. Theo. I'll process everything immediately."

"Alright. In that case, we'll excuse ourselves." Theo stood up and shook the commander's hand.

When Theo came out, the commander pinched the bridge of his nose. This was the first time he encountered such a case. Why would the first time actually involve outsiders? In addition, there were cannibals.

If Theo knew his thought, he would definitely say, 'You don't know the power of the author that can create trouble with bullshits. Poor you for receiving me.'

Of course, there was no way he could say that aloud.

Still, for the commander, tonight would be a sleepless night. He had to dispatch all the elite warriors he had to check the cannibal spot and the underground city.

On the other hand, Oliver seemed to be planning to enjoy his time with the maids, while Avalon only wanted to get some rest. He fought the Tier 5 zombie after all. Maya, on the other hand, was still too excited to sleep, realizing that her instinct was much stronger than she thought.

After returning to their room, Theo immediately replied to the comment. "Yo, why did you jinx it? The author is going to use that example to make the next mission difficult. And you know what? The next mission is not about me, it's about Mia! I thought it was already pretty clear that it would switch to Mia since I had left behind the lightning bird… Ugh, now I'm worried."@@novelbin@@

Theo, like the commander, would definitely have a sleepless night after this. He was too worried to sleep.

At the same time, Haruka had already arrived and knocked on his door.
