To Get Stronger, I’m Forced to Grind Their Affection

Chapter 4

Ten thousand!

That's something that requires TM ten thousand affection points to obtain.

If Luolin were to grind it ten points at a time according to that method, how long would it take?

"Sir, please don't do this."

Faced with such a drunkard, Luna also showed some disgust, but she had to maintain her smile.

"Miss Luna, don't resist."

"Sir, please don't do this, otherwise I'll have to call someone."

"Hehe... call someone? You might as well moan instead."

Luna dodged the man's wandering hands with a disgusted expression, but he kept approaching her.

Luolin suddenly made up his mind.Because Luolin happened to be standing right next to that person, though he had been pushed aside a bit earlier, it would be quite easy to take action now.

Luna was about to lose her temper.

However, Luolin beat her to it. He raised his palm and slapped the guy across his left cheek.

"Smack!"

The sound was exceptionally crisp.

"Who! Who TM slapped me!"

"Oh, judging by your accent you're an outsider. I hate two kinds of people most in my life: one is regional discriminators, and the other is outsiders!"

Luolin circled around from behind to the other side and slapped the other cheek as well.

"Smack!"

There, now it was symmetrical.

Then Luolin pulled up the cloth spread on the ground, which he had noticed earlier.

He pulled up this cloth and directly covered the guy's head with it.

"Holy crap, who TM turned off the lights? TM, turn the lights on!!"

Still in his drunken state, he swayed unsteadily, and Luolin kicked him away with one foot.

The drunkard flailed his arms wildly, broke free from the cloth, and seeing the rounded contours before him, thought it was someone's face.

"So it TM was you who slapped me!"

So he slapped it too.

However... that was a muscular man's buttocks.

The muscular man turned around and looked at the drunkard. There was an absolute difference in their physiques - simply put, this muscular man was worth two of him.

Just when Luolin thought this guy would take his anger out on him, the muscular man suddenly said:

"Thanks, bro!"

Then he hoisted up the drunkard and ran off, quickly leaving the guild hall, looking quite delighted.

Luolin couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow.

Wow, what kind of world is this.

"Phew... that startled me."

Luolin's gaze returned to Luna, who had been watching him the whole time, and he put on a relieved expression.

"Are you alright?"

Luna asked with concern. Seeing Luolin shake his head, she also let out a sigh.

[Mission successful, affection points +10, target Luna's current accumulated affection: 10.]

["Favorability Card" skill has been acquired.]

Luolin didn't have time to study these things thoroughly, so he asked again.

"Now I'm considered a mercenary, right? So, can I take on quests?"

"You can, but with your level, if you go do quests alone...."

"It's fine, just give me the simplest quest."

Luolin told Luna not to worry, and after hesitating for a moment, Luna could only set her mind at ease. Her job was just to distribute quests.

"This is a quest to subjugate low-level goblins...."

"Great!"

Before Luna could finish speaking, Luolin snatched the parchment. If he didn't hurry up, he wouldn't be able to complete the quest and get money today, and he'd have to sleep on the streets.

"Well then, I'll be off."

"Be careful. Although goblins aren't strong, they live in groups. Why don't you find some teammates...."

Hearing this, Luolin shook his head.

"I don't have time. However, can you promise me one other thing?"

"What is it?"

Then, Luolin looked at the corner of the white strap showing on Luna's shoulder.

Damn it, he'd done the favorability quest, but he shouldn't waste the other quest either. The Resentment Shop also had good items.

Under Luna's bewildered gaze, Luolin directly reached out and grabbed the white strap on her shoulder, pulled it, then with a "snap" let it spring back onto her shoulder.

Before Luna could react, Luolin had already run out the door of the guild hall.

Playing the rogue and running away—so damn thrilling!

Even Luna was stunned for a long while.

"Did I just get taken advantage of?"

Luna's true nature was fully revealed, but thinking carefully, he had just helped her out of a tight spot.

Wait, that's not right.

He saved her from someone who wanted to take advantage of her, and then he himself took advantage of her?

Damn it....

"Sigh, although I just said it's best to form a team, in reality, with such ordinary ability values and being a level one novice, it'll probably be hard to find a team."

Luna sighed helplessly.

This was the world of mercenaries. When everyone was strangers, if you wanted others to help you, you naturally had to have that value.

"I just hope he's not some hothead who won't come back from this."

Luna sighed again. She also noticed that something seemed a bit off about herself.

Wait, why was she feeling so sad? She'd seen enough of such tragedies, hadn't she?

"When he comes back, I must settle accounts with him. This lady's tofu isn't so easy to eat!"
