Chapter 183: Limited-Time Mission Appears Again
Elizabeth puffed out her cheeks, stood up directly, and sat beside Dick. At the same time, she boldly hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Give me a ten percent discount."
Hearing this, Dick immediately refused mercilessly, stating there was no room for negotiation.
Are you kidding? This is 520 million gold coins; even a small discount would be tens of millions.
Elizabeth snorted softly and placed her white-stockinged legs on Dick's lap, like a spoiled young lady throwing a tantrum.
In the past few days, Elizabeth has become more and more unrestrained in front of Dick. Not to mention the etiquette between ruler and subject, even the basic etiquette between men and women has been thrown away.
However, this was only limited to when she was alone with Dick. If there were others present, Elizabeth was still very polite.
Dick calmly put down Elizabeth's long legs, then stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave first."
This sudden formality made Elizabeth very unhappy, so she immediately got up, hugged Dick from behind, and prevented him from leaving the carriage.
Elizabeth keenly noticed something: Dick... always had a strange sense of distance!
Every time she was about to successfully 'score', Dick would pull away; he just wouldn't cross that line.
Of course, it was more because she was too shy and couldn't stand the stimulation each time, fleeing in a panic.
But there was nothing she could do about it; she was just a nineteen-year-old girl, and facing her first love, she definitely couldn't remain calm.
During these few days on the return journey, every time Elizabeth discussed matters with Dick late into the night, she would make various hints, including but not limited to eye contact, words, body language...
Despite this, Dick would find various excuses each time, rightfully refusing her and braking in time.
This made Elizabeth a little annoyed. She had clearly given him many opportunities; if Dick could just be a little 'smarter', he could conquer her in minutes.
"Elizabeth, I still need to find Yasuo. Don't mess around for now..."
This time, Dick still had an excuse; he had to brake in time when about to cross the line again, even though she had expressed herself like this!
"What's so good about talking to that prisoner? I have something more important to say here! You're not allowed to leave!"
Dick turned around, looked at the rosy-cheeked Elizabeth, and said gently, "Let go of me first. It's not convenient to talk about things like this."
"Talk like this," Elizabeth mumbled, her hands moving restlessly, "You, you must give me an explanation today!"
Dick was not flustered. He knew what Empress Elizabeth was talking about. After days of back-and-forth, Elizabeth was truly stifled.
Taking down Elizabeth was simple, but the subsequent troubles were many. Therefore, Dick wanted to delay a bit longer, at least until the contract was signed.
Beyonce's regular harvesting was necessary. Dick would not let go of any opportunity to become stronger. But at the same time, this was something Elizabeth disliked.
How could a dignified Empress share her husband with other women?
Cecilia could serve together; this was Elizabeth's final concession. If other women were added, it would not be acceptable.
"We'll be leaving the Underground City in a few hours. Can't you hold on?"
"I, I've held on for several days..."
Seeing Elizabeth's unyielding appearance, Dick said casually, "When was the last time you took a bath?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth was greatly startled and quickly pushed Dick away, nervously checking herself for any smell.
Only after confirming that she still smelled fragrant did Elizabeth finally relax.
Although she hadn't bathed during these days on the return journey, Elizabeth wiped herself down with a wet towel every day, from her neck to her toes; every corner was clean.
"Dick, you..."
Just as Elizabeth was about to say something else, Dick had disappeared. Only she was left in this carriage.
"Mmmph... Stupid Dick, next time we're alone, I must succeed!"
Arriving at the front of the RV, Dick stood at the front looking ahead, his eyes full of anticipation.
Dick was very sure that Nate Team was currently the first in the Youth Group; it was impossible for anyone to be ahead of them.
Although there were many unexpected events during the period, overall, it was stable. Dick had been calculating the time; no one could be faster than them!
Now, the Kun-style RV was speeding on the First Layer, with eleven high-level adventurers acting as bodyguards on board.
Even if a Floor Boss ran out to block the way, it would be instantly melted.
However, speaking of which, the First Layer's boss, Spirit Snake Madam, was also one of their own and was currently guarding the entrance as insurance.
The more Dick thought about it, the more stable he felt. The mission for this "Underground City Championship" had no suspense left.
Dick was already looking forward to the colorful Blessing choices after completing the mission!
Completing the "Underground City Championship" would grant a colorful Blessing, and completing all World Tasks in a stage would grant another colorful Blessing.
Not only that, Dick also had Xiao Nai this time. With the help of the Extremely Yin Common Luck Body, the choices provided by the Blessing would be extremely top-notch!
During these three days on the return journey, Dick had not harvested the luck within Xiao Nai and also arranged for her to interact with those high-level adventurers.
You should know that the Extremely Yin Common Luck Body absorbs the luck of those around it to make itself continuously lucky.
Unlike the Heaven-Reaching Great Fortune Body, the Extremely Yin Common Luck Body cannot generate luck out of thin air; it is essentially plundering.
In other words, the better the luck of the people around her, the stronger Xiao Nai's Extremely Yin Common Luck Body becomes!
As for whose luck was the best?
Naturally, it was the eleven high-level adventurers accompanying them. Every one of them became stronger through battle and were ruthless individuals who licked blood from the knife's edge.
If their luck wasn't strong, they would have died halfway through.
Xiao Nai was very cheerful and easily got along well with these eleven high-level adventurers. These days, they would drink and chat together whenever they had time.
Without even looking, Dick knew that Xiao Nai's Extremely Yin Common Luck Body had absorbed a lot of luck.
And all of this would become a boost for him when making his Blessing choices!
Suddenly, Dick tilted forward.
The wooden carriage braked urgently; a group of people were standing in the middle of the road, not moving.
"Heh heh, young man, we are the Red Falcon Adventurer Group. Can we hitch a ride?"
An ordinary-looking middle-aged woman stepped forward to ask, her expression full of flattery and humility.
At the same time, time and space around them froze, and a blood-red character box appeared before his eyes.
[Limited-Time Mission]
"Empress's Bodyguard": Protect Empress of Aimiya and ensure she leaves Gaia Dungeon alive. (Upon completion, for one time only, the Blessing will become a two-out-of-three choice.)
