Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 4: Super Difficulty Mission
"I never thought there would be such a relaxing place in the university..."
"Because you only do missions and never pay attention to other things, right?"
This cafe is quite famous within the university.
Looking at the trio in front of him with both hands held by two little girls, looking like a combined robot , the history professor sighed with a headache.
It is naturally impossible for the university town to be a space where time stands still. People always have their own social environment and space. Although every professor and teaching assistant has his or her own kingdom of God and independent subspace, this does not mean that these people must stay in the kingdom of God until they die.
On the contrary, all intelligent creatures are social creatures who always like to exchange information and communicate. Therefore, there are many cafes and parks built in public spaces within the university. It is better to say that the entire university town itself is located on a vast planet, but it is filled with various spatial coordinates and layers of portals that connect the stars of the entire universe. Therefore, it is normal for people to communicate with each other.
The cafe where the four of them were now was a cafe that was well-received within the university. Although oversized creatures were prohibited from entering, this kind of claustrophobic social environment was not meant for oversized creatures to have fun . Those giant creatures would often go to a special subspace to play with their own entertainment facilities. So naturally, in this relatively quiet environment, several humanoid creatures could discuss their problems and exchange feelings with each other normally. Although one of them thought that this was completely unnecessary.
"I'd like to make it clear in advance that I will just follow Master Li Lin."
"Me, me too. Even if I encounter something particularly outrageous, I won't give up easily."
"Don't worry, don't worry. You are all my good teammates. I will not abandon any of you. I am a responsible person."
“…”
...Can you just die?
Looking at the two girls vying to show their loyalty, the professor's eyes twitched more and more, and he looked at Li Lin with an indescribable look of looking at a criminal. But Li Lin was sitting upright, and calmly showed a friendly smile of "What's wrong?", which made the professor's eyes twitch more severely.
But the professor is a professor after all, a good man who likes to help others. Even though he has been single for quite a long time and has no luck with women, he is still a serious and responsible professor. As a good professor, it is inevitable to answer the questions of his students. After racking his brains to think about some relevant data and historical information that has not been investigated, he immediately found a task that is very suitable for Li Lin now.
"Oh, by the way, you are already the Holy Light Vanguard Officer, right? I do have a relatively long-term mission for you."
After thinking it over, the professor decided not to let his poor former student down, and casually picked up a scroll that looked ancient and old from the air.
"In several Pale Expeditions, the Holy Light Vanguards, as the first group to rush into the enemy camp, always had their own abilities and spirit. For example, you are now in the second stage of awakening, and you are rare and powerful, and you have extraordinary immortality. This is very common in the Holy Light camp. But not all vanguards have a good end."
"Although they have no guilt and are filled with great light, they often gradually abandon the Holy Light in their old age due to fear for their lives and honor, or suffer from some unspeakable fear. Although the Holy Light does mean absolute justice, it does not mean that everyone's mind is intact. In the last years of the Holy Light Vanguard, I have a lot of records and information about the Vanguard Officers, proving that they are suffering from a trait that is difficult to describe in words."
"From ancient times to the present, apart from the unique titles and strong men, there are about 13,000 people in the first echelon of Holy Light Pioneers in history. Among them, 4,700 disappeared inexplicably in their later years, or believed in some gods who claimed that their spirits and abilities could be transformed into other forms. But in the end, all of them died because their body's energy was drained. Finally, in the continuous investigation, I found a planet called Us. It is located in the sphere of influence of the Free Alliance, but very close to the direct territory of the Holy Light Church. Go to the chapel to find the archbishop there. They may have some people who can tell you the truth of the matter, or the essence of history."
The scroll slowly unfolded in midair, revealing the overlapping images and seals inside. Regarding this long-term task, Li Lin raised his eyebrows in a strange way while comforting the two grinning girls.
"Eh? Isn't this just a simple errand task? Is there anything more difficult?"
"You are now qualified enough, Mr. Li Lin, the lecturer of the Holy Light Department. A lecturer is already responsible enough to investigate historical truths of this level. And running errands means that we are short of manpower here, so we ask you to investigate. I am often responsible for strange events between galaxies, and even the disappearance and extinction of star clusters. How about we switch now? You go to the Seventh Star Cluster and investigate why there is always a large-scale meme outbreak and population disappearance every four hundred years. I don't mind."
"No, I think this is fine."
Let’s forget about investigating any space clusters.
Faced with the professor's unfriendly look, Li Lin immediately took the scroll.
The moment his palm touched the scroll, a 'ding' sound, meaning the mission was accepted, rang out in Li Lin's mind, marking the specific data and details of the mission for him.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."
When Li Lin was reading the mission objectives, the professor suddenly said slowly:
"The local people are very, very hospitable, and they have a serious fertility worship and male dominance consciousness. What they like to do most is to let men from other places be grooms. But since you already have two good girls who you can entrust your life to, I believe you can definitely control yourself. Right?"
"...???????"
Wait, what the hell? Professor, you are actually trying to trick me???
