PNB Chapter 565 E and the Final Mission
Chapter 565 E and the Final Mission
"Rotom, help me check the latest news about the Bone Company."
Lu Yi was reminded by the discussion of the Shield Sword Monster. His investigation into the Bone Company stopped at the news about President Zifuchi. He had been busy with special training in the past week and had not paid much attention to it.
Now that the World Championships are about to open, if the belt bag company really has problems and plans to make some big moves at that time, then according to common sense, it should disappear now and not attract too much attention from the market.
"Okay, Lotto."
Rotom moved upon hearing the sound, and quickly floated in front of Lu Yi, showing him a lot of news content.
Lu Yi carefully checked the information and found that the most recent new product launch of the Bi Nang Company was on September 9. This date was actually very close, which to some extent impacted Lu Yi's suspicion of it.
He frowned as he unfolded the news, most of the content was about the new products launched at the conference, including many high-end luxury goods, handicrafts, women's products, etc.
Among them, a dazzling and exquisite brooch attracted Lu Yi's attention.
It has a unique shape, exquisite, and is inlaid with many dazzling gems. Just one glance, you can tell that it is extraordinary and can especially highlight people's wealthy temperament.
What surprised Lu Yi the most was the name of this brooch.
It is called “The token of the emperor”, which translates to “the symbol of the emperor”.
If we just evaluate the name, then "the symbol of the emperor" is indeed domineering enough, and I believe that many prominent upper-class people would like to own it.
But the part that Lu Yi focused on was the word "emperor".
It not only represents the emperor, but is also the same title as emperor, monarch, king, etc., and is translated into English using the same word.
Thinking of the "鞶囊" in the 鞶囊 Company, which originally meant a token of the emperor in ancient China, and adding the historical legends of the "Huaqing Palace" and the Shield Sword Monster in the wilderness, Lu Yi couldn't help but feel puzzled, thinking that Mr. Yi wouldn't really think of himself as an emperor?
"Ok?"
"hiss……"
In an instant, Lu Yi suddenly thought of something, took a deep breath, and his eyes turned left and right involuntarily!
Recalling that some time ago, when he was recovering from his injuries in bed at the Alliance headquarters, he had discussed the "Seven Deadly Sins" and the letters representing the major branches of the Hunter Guild with Lina. (Chapters 443-445)
According to the inference at that time, the English translations of [Greed] and [Gluttony] were [greed] and [gluttony] respectively, with the first letters repeated. So the Hunter Guild retained the "G" branch name for [Gluttony] and used another word [avaricious] to translate [Greed], forming the "A" branch. This idea is reasonable.
However, the first letters of the word [envy], which stands for [jealousy], did not overlap with other branches, but were inexplicably replaced with [Jealousy] and adopted the name of the "J" branch.
Lu Yi couldn't figure out the reason at all at the time, but he vaguely remembered that he had boldly put forward a hypothesis. Could it be because the "E" branch was homophonic with "Mr. Yi", which led to the latter not liking it and finally decided to change the name?
And now, Lu Yi accidentally saw the word "emperor", and his eyes lit up instantly! Could it be that the first letter "E" in this word is the origin of Mr. Yi's name?
You know, that guy is a Chinese from Earth! He should have a name, it definitely wouldn't be this simple!
Lu Yi had not paid much attention to this before. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in a strange world, giving yourself a localized name can help you integrate into the regional culture well.
In this world, people use single words like "智", "霞", "刚" and so on to name their children. Therefore, Lu Yi always thought it was normal for him to be called "易", and maybe his surname in China was 易.
But after such inference and piecing together all the doubts, Lu Yi felt that he might have thought it was too simple before.
Maybe he is not Mr. "Yi" but Mr. "E"!
"Rotom! Contact Miss Junza immediately!!"
……
Galar region, Bone Company.
Mr. Yi and Ying were sitting in the office, secretly discussing an important matter. Apart from them, there was no one else around, not even the secretary Xiaobai.
Mr. Yi felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the latest instructions issued by the system.
【Ultimate Mission (Dual Line)】
[1. After ensuring everything is safe, choose a suitable date and place the "Poisonous Slate" inside the "Final Weapon".]
[2. After activating the "Final Weapon" and urging the "Poisonous Slate" for 10 minutes, the sealed "Eternal Taina" will be released.]
[Task Reward: If you successfully complete the above two points, the host will be able to take the helm of the "New World" and will be eligible to work with the supreme Wuji Taina to jointly establish the "New Order." ]
[Failure penalty: The host and all relatives and friends around the host (including the Earth world) will die immediately.]
……
"Master Chief, leave the poisonous slate to me. You can use your position to quietly release Wuji Taina."
Ying took the initiative to speak up, wanting to help Mr. Yi share his worries, as he knew how much pressure the latter was under.
Mr. Yi was silent for a moment. The ultimate weapon controlled by Devon Company was located in Shixiang Town in the Kalos region, which was too far from Galar! It was impossible to travel back and forth between the two places within 10 minutes and take care of both at the same time!
He had no choice but to hand over one of the frontline tasks to the person he trusted the most. Ying was undoubtedly the only candidate!
At this moment, the problem facing Mr. Yi is: he neither understands the consequences of the collision between the ultimate weapon and the poisonous stone slab; nor does he know how much risk will be brought about by releasing Wujitana.
To put it bluntly, he was worried that if he went to the Kalos region, he might die in case there was a compatibility issue between the final weapon and the poisonous slate; and similarly, he knew so many secrets about the Eternal Taina, if it abandoned him immediately, he would die as well!
So he could only ponder, think over and over again, and repeatedly evaluate the risks on both sides, and finally decided to go to the Kalos region.
After all, the system dared to issue this task, and there was a high probability that the weapons and the stone slabs would not conflict with each other. As for the poisonous energy that was activated, I just needed to bring more gas masks and antidotes. No matter how I calculated it, it was less threatening than Wuji Taina!
So he replied: "I will go to Carlos's place. That place is relatively more important. It is the 'first step' of this operation and we must not let it go wrong."
"Okay," Ying nodded, completely unaware that Mr. Yi was only trying to save his own skin.
"Then I'll go release Mujutana, and by the way, create some noise at the World Championships."
"Yes." Mr. Yi approved of Ying's idea, and then he reminded her warmly, "You have to be more careful. If you find something wrong, get out of here immediately. Even if the mission fails, you have to come back safely!"
Hearing this, Ying was instantly excited, and replied with a firm look in his eyes: "How is that possible! I am your brother! How can I let you bear the risk of mission failure alone!? Don't say anything, just leave this operation to me! As for the rest, I will take care of it even if I die!!"
