Chapter 602: What Do You Take Me For

Lithe Snake eyed Gao Yang suspiciously and hesitated a few seconds before sitting down on the sofa, keeping some distance from him cautiously.

Gao Yang smiled wryly. “Am I that scary?”

“Yeah.” Lithe Snake looked tense. “You’re acting strangely, which means you must be up to no good.”

“I’m still your captain,” Gao Yang said for Six Rime’s benefit.

“You’re also the Divine Scion with six Talents, born between a life monster and a human, a bas...” Lithe Snake paused. “...A mix.”

Lithe Snake, I prefer it when you’re completely disrespectful.

“I’ll get to the point. I want to level up Psychic Armor to level 5 today,” Gao Yang said. “It doesn’t make sense to look for monsters on the street, and those under the level of pride monsters will pose little threat to me now; they will be little help in increasing my level.”

“So you want me to do it?” Lithe Snake frowned.

“Yes, I’ve considered everyone. You’re the only one who can pose a threat to me and really try to kill me.” Gao Yang smiled. “Perhaps it’ll help me level up if you attempt to assassinate me.”

“I’m not doing it.” Lithe Snake stood up coldly and went up to the window.

“Why?”

“What do you take me for, Captain?” Lithe Snake snapped before jumping out of the window without turning around.

Gao Yang sighed. So it was too difficult to try to kill a companion even for someone as aloof as Lithe Snake. Did he really have to look for elite monsters on the street?

[Warning, Luck acquisition rate increases to 4000...]

Whoosh. A Black Gold knife flew in through the window. Gao Yang was caught so off guard that he didn’t even have the time to activate Teleportation.

Thanks to the system’s warning and his high Agility, though, he managed to roll to the side instinctively, and the blade brushed past his cheek before burying into the sofa.

Lithe Snake, you little...

Gao Yang didn’t even have the time to roast Lithe Snake when he caught from the corner of an eye that there was a severed hand on the throwing knife buried into the sofa.

After the fight with the little abomination in the Ancient Ni Nation temple, Lithe Snake had leveled up Self-Detonate to level 6, and even one severed hand could do as much damage as several hand grenades.

“Okay.” Gao Yang was pleased. Lithe Snake was always dependable.

“Remember, you only have three chances.”

“Got it.”

“If you die for real, don’t hold a grudge against me.” Lithe Snake easily leaped onto the rooftop of the building.

“Ha, haha.” Can laughed self-deprecatingly. “Um, I’ll be sunbathing in the front yard today. I don’t want to be a deadweight to you, Captain.”

“Yeah, stay outside with Hong Xiaoxiao.”

Throughout the day, Gao Yang stayed in the living room with Six Rime. Gao Yang was ready to activate Psychic Armor at any time, and he used the Talent as soon as the cooldown ended. At noon, in the afternoon, and at night, he faced a sneak attack from Lithe Snake.

Since Gao Yang was prepared, he easily dealt with the three attempts, and his Talent didn’t level up.

He was disappointed, but not surprised.

Just when he was going to give up, though, Lithe Snake suddenly made an unexpected attack. Fooled by Lithe Snake’s earlier declaration, Gao Yang only got away narrowly and almost lost his left arm to Lithe Snake. He bled enough to form a pool on the floor.

At that moment, Gao Yang felt a numbness in his scalp. His Psychic Armor finally leveled up.

Minimizing his sense of pain, Gao Yang smiled in satisfaction. “You were really trying to kill me, weren’t you, Lithe Snake?”

Lithe Snake’s gaze remained murderous, and he coolly sheathed his bloodied shortsword. “If I manage to kill the Divine Scion, it’ll be a lifetime achievement to boast to Gray Bear about.”

If you die so easily, you don’t have the right to be my boss.

With Six Rime here, Lithe Snake didn’t voice his real thoughts.

“You bled so much, Captain! Are you alright?!” Can rushed into the living room, taking out a shot of Medicine C to inject his hand. Meanwhile, Hong Xiaoxiao had run inside, too, reaching out to put a marked Black Gold hairpin into Gao Yang’s pocket.

Gao Yang thought with feelings, These two may not be the sharpest tools in the shed, but they are loyal.

“My Psychic Armor reached level 5.” Gao Yang allowed Can to patch him up. He turned to Six Rime. “I’ll go down the abyss tomorrow night at eight.”

Six Rime nodded.

Gao Yang continued, “I have a lot to take care of. I want to go to my college tomorrow afternoon to apply for suspension. It’ll be inconvenient to take a whole entourage with me. Why don’t you and Can come with me? Can has Invisibility, and I have Teleportation. We’ll be able to quickly get away even if we run into powerful enemies.”

Six Rime thought for a moment before blinking. “Okay.”
