Chapter 77: No Mercy For Scoundrels
To be honest, Loria was really curious about what the guildmaster would do once she discovered Loria's true nature in the simulation.
Would he break up with her directly, or would he try to correct her, or perhaps just let it be?
Regardless of whatever choice is made, it will trigger a new storyline and unlock new achievements.
"Ugh, that's why people shouldn't be arrogant."
If she had just tidied herself up before leaving the church, the guildmaster wouldn't have suspected her.
Nevermind.
Given the circumstances, let's first see what lessons we can learn from this simulation.
Loria flipped through the pages.
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Role-playing" achievement and gaining an extra reward. Spirit +1.]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Strike First" achievement and gaining an additional reward. Agility +1.]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Playacting on Stage" achievement and receiving an extra reward. Endurance +1.]
[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the task of the master and receiving an extra reward. Endurance +2.]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving a D-level evaluation and receiving a reward: Nun's Gloves were obtained.]
The simulated evaluation was not high, it was a mediocre D-level, but the attribute points rewarded were still quite appealing.
"By doing so, my basic endurance attribute will reach 60 points. If everything goes well, in about three more days, I should be ready to challenge the tree spirit."
Loria was in a great mood, and soon she forgot about the incident of teasing the guildmaster by immersing herself in her role-playing game.
Because her attention was completely captivated by the rewards of this simulation.
"Nun gloves, this time the reward that appeared was actually equipment?"
She reached out and tapped it, opening the illustration of the gloves.
These were a pair of black gloves, with mysterious and alluring patterns embroidered along the edges, and delicate flowers stitched on the back of the hand.
"I don't feel very suitable for my body size."
Loria Loria lowered her head and looked at her own body.
Her height made it seem a bit inappropriate for her to exude a mature and alluring charm.
However, the appearance of the gloves is secondary; it is the attributes of these gloves that make her heart beat faster.
"Wearing these gloves will give you an extra 3 points of strength and 3 points of endurance. Not only that, it also helps to adjust your attacks, increasing your accuracy by 15%. These gloves are even more powerful than the Monster Girl's Boots!"
Do not underestimate the added 15% accuracy boost.
Mighty knights are often able to swing countless swords within an incredibly short span of time.
Each swing of the sword increases the accuracy by 15%. The more times the sword is swung, the more noticeable the difference becomes.
Loria didn't rush to claim her reward, because she still had two more chances for practice today.
She shut down the simulator and immersed herself back into her work.
During her lunch break, she went home to bring some food for Doris. The cat-eared girl was in high spirits, as energized as ever.
After finishing work, she hurriedly sneaked off to the trading market and bought a pair of white gloves as a gift for the guildmaster.
It was still practice.
It was time for bedtime routines and dinner.
Before returning to her room, Loria gave the gloves to the guildmaster, who happily expressed gratitude.
"I haven't received a gift for many years."
After all, the guildmaster didn't have any friends.
If it wasn't for the fear of becoming addicted and transforming into a succubus under the control of her sensitive body, Loria would have wanted to give herself away.
[Let's go eat the guildmaster's delicious rice!]
Back in her room, she locked the door and then tried on the new red catgirl bodysuit she had just bought.
To her surprise, the outfit turned out to be very breathable.
In this way, she no longer imagined wearing this outfit in the summer, only to end up flushed from being trapped in hot, sweaty clothes.
"It was truly disappointing... Err, I mean, I wanted to say that this is really amazing!"
Loria stood in front of the mirror for a moment, just imagining herself wearing such clothes and frolicking outside, she felt so embarrassed that her whole body trembled with excitement.
No wonder she could pile up such a high level of shame.
If she were wearing a style with a detachable tail, the level of embarrassment would certainly double when she walked!
"I can't wear it anymore, I need to take a break in the bathroom."
Loria quickly took off her clothes.
She doesn't need to worry about this during the battle. Her focus is entirely on the fight, who cares if her clothes get dirty.
Loria neatly folded her clothes and placed them together with the massager, then she immediately immersed herself in a new adventure.
The results of the following two simulations can only be described as average.
Creek Town was not very big. In the previous simulation, she had explored every possible place to visit. If she wanted to achieve something impressive in this beginner's village, she would have to defeat all of the Hidden Leader's followers to do so.
"Does this mean it's reminding me to go fight the boss?"
Loria flipped through her identity card once again. After extracting and putting on the nun's gloves, her abilities experienced a significant boost.
[Attributes]: Strength 32, Agility 22, Endurance 64, Intelligence 10, Spirit 27, Charm 13.
"Counting the 8 points of strength and 6 points of agility I absorbed from the guildmaster, this attribute is quite impressive."
Loria shut off the simulator, tidied up her identity card, and went to sleep directly.
In a harsh environment, she had to constantly maintain a good state, so staying up late was not an option.
The next morning, Loria went to work as usual, but the atmosphere today was slightly strange compared to usual.
"What are you all discussing?"
She found Felix.
Felix explained, "The investigation team from Claren City will arrive in Creek Town this morning, and everyone feels that it will not be a good thing."
"Why do you say that?"
"I also heard from the traders and adventurers who often travel between Creek Town and Claren City, they said that in Creek Town, as long as you follow the rules, various procedures can be done quickly. But in Claren City, many times if you don't bribe, you'll have to wait and keep waiting until the staff remembers you."
"This..."
"This investigative team claimed they were here to investigate the case, but in reality, they might just be looking to make some money."
Loria hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back her words.
Those people didn't make money, but what they did was even worse. They were here to exploit others.
Once they became slaves, even hoping for death would be a luxury.
"I hope they don't cause trouble."
Felix sighed, "How strange, why has Creek Town had so many troubles lately?"
"The root has decayed," Loria casually remarked.
Felix stared for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right."
Loria leaned on her hand, gazing out of the window into the distance.
Actually, even if the empire's roots weren't decayed, in this magical world, trouble was unavoidable.
Taking the Church of the Goddess of Madness and Indulgence as an example, with their teachings, they would inevitably come into conflict with ordinary people.
At ten o'clock in the morning.
While Loria was working on some documents, suddenly there came a loud commotion from the outside of the big office.
She hurriedly walked out and saw several unfamiliar people walking in, accompanied by the guildmaster.
"The investigation team?"
Looks can be deceiving.
Who could have imagined that those seemingly honest and respectable individuals were secretly involved in countless acts of evil?
The despicable Hidden Leader, who indiscriminately slaughtered innocent civilians, should perish.
Those cruel beings who trample upon others without mercy should also perish.
Loria calmly returned to continue her own tasks, without showing any emotion on her face.
She was afraid that if she kept standing there, those people would notice that something was wrong with her.
In Creek Town, there were too many people coming and going, making it difficult to act directly without attracting attention.
So she had to endure a little longer!
But Loria didn't just sit around doing nothing.
The simulation presented a simplified version, and she had to explore many details on her own in reality.
She planned to uncover the investigation team's movements during these three days, including the time they left and the route they took. With this information, she could set up an ambush on their way back.
Let's do it.
During lunch break, Loria, a hardworking girl, decided to skip her meal and sneak out of the association directly.
The investigation team had a significant target, so she didn't have to exert much effort to find the whereabouts of those individuals.
In fact, at first Loria wasn't expecting much, but after following those people for a while, she heard a conversation that was even more detailed than what she had simulated.
"That evening when the accident happened, it was raining heavily. All the evidence got washed away by the rain, and we were afraid that it would be hard to find any useful answers."
"This time, the loss was tremendous. To train a qualified female servant, not only do we need to break down her original consciousness, but also make her body and mind develop a liking for porn. This process, to say the least, will take about a month. Now that the supply chain here has been disrupted, many previously scheduled transactions must be postponed."
"What a group of useless people! Just because of an accident, the base was exposed. The deputy director, that despicable person, made such a big mistake and still has the nerve to survive. A complete waste, with more failures than successes. When the time comes, bury him alive."
In an empty alley, a few investigators gathered together, exchanging harsh words.
They had already checked the surroundings, but given Loria's current strength, it would be difficult for her to be noticed unless she made a sound accidentally.
"Up above, the pressure is mounting. Even if they can't find an answer, they must search."
"What should I do if there are no clues?"
"Let's investigate first, and if we can't find out... then we'll have to shift the blame onto someone else."
"Are you talking about Adeline Von Lidilia?"
"This woman is the daughter of a count, we won't be able to provoke her."
"But I heard that she had a big fight with her family and hasn't gone back for a long time. Honestly, with her looks and figure, once she becomes a human pig, she will definitely be very popular."
"Can you defeat her?"
"This..."
"Don't think about things that are irrelevant. Nobles are nobles, and we can't afford to provoke them. As for how to handle Adeline, let the higher-ups worry about it. Let's go to the scene first and see what's happening."
The members of the investigation team gradually moved away.
But the words of them still lingered in Loria's ears.
"Didn't Adeline have two other people to help her?"
"Neither of them could run away."
After the sound completely disappeared, Loria finally came out.
They actually wanted to turn the guildmaster into a human-pig, and that is absolutely unforgivable!
In the simulation, she was still too "kind-hearted." When dealing with these scum, the most terrifying torture should be used to torment them.
Now, in her mind, she already had ideas on how to deal with these people-she only needed them to decide to leave Creek Town, then she would immediately take action!
