A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 750

Chapter 750: Chapter 543 Misty Shadow_2 Chapter 750: Chapter 543 Misty Shadow_2 It was already late at night by now. Normally the entire town would have been asleep, but due to it being Christmas, street lights were on and decorations hung everywhere. Instead of the usual gloom, the whole town was sparkling and emitted a fairytale-like charm.

It would be even more exciting if Santa Claus was to appear now.

“How have things been recently? Is everything going smoothly?”

While strolling down the street, Duanmu Huai casually asked. He wasn't taken by surprise by Mary's appearance, but he chose to keep the reason to himself.

“Good, everyone has returned to their former lives, and that's brought about a lot of cheer. Although it was a bit unsettling for a while, it all seems to have been worth it, looking back.”

Mary looked up at the falling snowflakes and couldn't help but reminisce. It reminded her of the days spent venturing to the South Pole. Reflecting back on what had occurred, she sometimes wondered if it was all a dream… or perhaps it still felt very surreal even now.

But coming back to…

“Next year, it'll be time to start thinking about graduation…”

“How have you considered the matter I mentioned before?”

“Um… Do you mean your invitation for me to join the Tribunal's work crew?”

“That's right.”

Duanmu Huai nodded, looking at Mary. Those golden pupils were truly beautiful. To be honest, Duanmu Huai also wanted them, but alas, it was impossible.

Moreover, Duanmu Huai had heard from Mary about her past experiences. Mary was a typical young lady, yet, she had been able to anticipate attacks with her golden pupils and naturally evade or fight back. What kind of outrageous cheat was that?

Truly, compared to Mary's golden pupils, Duanmu Huai felt that his system wasn't so appealing.

After all, his system needed to be upgraded, while Mary's golden pupils seemed incredibly versatile!

The only flaw was that Mary herself was still somewhat weak. But proper training combined with some basic combat awareness and the strength of her golden pupils should make reaching the level of a Night Guard not a problem.

Tsk tsk tsk, that's what you call a true cheat code.

In the game, Duanmu Huai had never heard of Mary's existence as an NPC. He didn't know if it was because she hadn't appeared yet or if the players simply hadn't discovered her. However, Duanmu Huai believed the latter was less likely. Even if we didn't take into account her Golden Pupil, a pretty girl like Mary would never go unnoticed by the players.

Generally, players recruited NPCs either based on strength, looks, or rarity.

Mary possessed the golden pupil, making her the perfect combination of strength, rarity, and beauty. If this were the game world, she would have long become a celebrity on the NPC leaderboard–in the least, a T1 class.

Could she perhaps shoot laser beams from her golden pupils?

Like some sort of ever-lasting light beam or something?

Um… probably not.

“Will working for the Tribunal be dangerous?”

“Strictly speaking, extremely dangerous.”

Duanmu Huai did not hide it because it was the truth. With the nature of Mary's golden pupils, joining the Tribunal might even be much more dangerous for her than it is now.

“I will do my best to protect you, but you need to train and learn how to fight and deal with enemies. Moreover, sometimes the work of the Tribunal can be cruel. At least, compared to what you are facing now, it is practically child's play.”

Duanmu Huai knew he needed to be upfront with Mary about the situation. Although golden pupils were indeed precious, Mary was a very ordinary girl in many respects, so dealing with this issue was somewhat perplexing for Duanmu Huai.

After all, this world, compared to other worlds, was much more peaceful. If this was a place like Novice's Village, where even young ordinary girls were accustomed to fighting or knew that there were beasts that would threaten them, they would be much more accepting.

Take the students at Manaria College for example, who were around the same age as Mary and like her, well-bread noble daughters. But when faced with enemies and the Demon Clan, they didn't hesitate to kill, often in large groups. Their readiness was a result of growing up in such a world, where they were used to the fact that demons posed threats to them.

But Mary was different. She was more akin to people in the real world who, when faced with danger, would not think of countering first. In countries like Lisas or Seth, even when confronted with demons, Mary would likely find it hard to fight back.

So, in this regard, Duanmu Huai was somewhat concerned, unsure if she could change.

Although Mary was very kind, in the Tribunal kindness often wasn't considered a virtue.

As expected, Mary fell silent upon hearing Duanmu Huai's answer.

“You don't want to do dangerous work?”

“No one wants to do dangerous work. Although I would like to try, I don't want to worry Shirley and Asherica…”

Mary sighed. This was part of her hesitation. Although joining the Tribunal seemed like a good choice, the high-risk nature of the work might make her friends worry, leaving her undecided.
