Chapter 1592 - 1127: Can This Thing Be Used for Baiting?
"George, long time no see!"
Zheng Yichen looked at the ’acquaintance’ in front of him and warmly greeted him. The kobold stared blankly at Zheng Yichen: "You, who are you?"
After staring at Zheng Yichen for a while, the memories from a few years ago slowly surfaced in George the kobold’s mind: "I seem to know you?"
That was something from two or three years ago when a batch of unlucky folks directly fled to this world of his.
Their world here has a good understanding of Phenomena, and there are quite a few of them in this world, but they occur infrequently despite their numbers.
It’s just that the Phenomena in this world exist for a long time. Although not all of them, a few Phenomena are preserved for a long time each year, with the longest lasting phenomenon having a history of decades.
Due to this reason, their understanding of Phenomena is particularly rich. George the kobold didn’t have a deep impression of Zheng Yichen mainly because the phenomenon that appeared back then was short-lived.
After completing the mission, they returned to report. Those who chose to stay became the locals here, while those who didn’t stay were just left with it as it was.
But now that Zheng Yichen brought up some things on his own, George remembered: "You’ve got quite the luck, huh?"
As George slowly recalled, he was a bit dazed, but when he saw the color of Dusk in Zheng Yichen’s eyes, he hesitated: "Let’s say I didn’t say anything."
George the kobold apparently knew something, and after discovering Zheng Yichen’s identity, his wariness greatly decreased.
Here, George is now fully armed, completely different from the light attire during his last meeting with Zheng Yichen.
Taking a glance at the ’female companion’ next to Zheng Yichen, George asked, "Did something happen on my side?"
"No, I just came to investigate some things. Didn’t you all explore the other side of the Phenomenon?"
"No, we don’t conduct such explorations lightly." George the kobold shook his head: "Past explorations brought severe disasters, leading to the introduction of relevant laws, and there aren’t many people adaptable to Phenomena, which makes deep exploration difficult."
"On the other side of this Phenomenon, there’s a world filled with numerous Phenomena."
"?" George the kobold widened his dog eyes and then said sympathetically, "That’s really terrible. Over here, harmful creatures frequently emerge, so it must be worse on your side, right?"
Although Phenomena can bring benefits, they also cause a large number of harmful creatures to appear. Although not many intruders, occasionally a few fierce ones appear, causing a major disaster.
Lately, something unknown has been happening here. Originally, the probability of Phenomena being preserved for long periods was about 10%, but now it’s increased to 70%, a change in the past three months.
He has been stationed here for more than a month.
Previously, some outsiders appeared, but they were quite reasonable, and no subsequent issues arose, but that’s not a reason to let down one’s guard.
Several places have already witnessed many violent conflicts.
However, since Zheng Yichen arrived, George figured the phenomenon wasn’t that important, provided that the Proxy Agent who came was normal and without major issues.
In a world with Proxy Agents, even if it’s special, the safety level of that world is significantly higher.
"Just let me know if you want to investigate something. I’ve already applied for the corresponding permissions."
"Hmm... how long have you been here?"
"Forty-seven days, assuming the time difference between our two sides isn’t significant, then that’s it."
Lilith’s voice rang in Zheng Yichen’s ear: "BOSS, Ahn Qi and her team made contact with this world fifty days ago, and there’s no record of kobolds."
"Then it’s fine." The timeline of George the kobold’s appearance here just missed the hunters group with Ahn Qi.
"I’m going to the local Dusk."
"Alright, you can just go there on your own." George took a photo of Zheng Yichen, then had the lockdown released.
After all, a Proxy Agent had arrived. Though he wasn’t sure how Zheng Yichen became a Proxy Agent, he knew some conditions of being one—it’s a tough break.
Perhaps this human was tricked by someone while running around the Phenomena initially.
That’s not his concern, as all Proxy Agents who make it through tend to be remarkable figures capable of causing waves.
He was only responsible for recording Zheng Yichen’s activities, and how to handle things afterward was up to the higher-ups.
His superiors quickly provided the relevant response, advising him not to meddle unnecessarily.
If the Proxy Agent wants to visit the local Dusk, let them go. They can even stay here long-term if they wish. As for the peculiarities of the world related to this phenomenon... well, that’s not important anymore.
They wouldn’t dare to experiment in a world where Proxy Agents live, even if they have thoughts about it.
Arriving at the local Dusk, Zheng Yichen first consulted with the Dusk nun about the specific situation here.
Once he learned that this world was not similar to Misty City World, the main issue followed, but the answers he received here were similar to the ones in the previous world.
"Switch, switch, switch!"
"What’s going on?" Seeing Zheng Yichen come in high spirits and leave angrily, George the kobold was somewhat puzzled but wasn’t interested in deepening their relationship.
The two were no longer from the same world. George continued his own little life, carrying out his daily work, while Zheng Yichen went on to be a Proxy Agent and continued to save worlds.
Occasionally meeting to chat a bit, that was the extent of their interaction. If there was anything that George the kobold paid attention to, it was that Zheng Yichen’s ride looked quite cool.
