Book 4: Chapter 41: Chen Heng, the Vanguard+Sniper+Caster+Supporter+Specialist Operator

“How can that do? Nearl, Nightingale, help me restrain him.”

“Hey, Nearl, don’t come over. Wait, Nightingale, don’t come over too. Think about the wonderful memories when I spatial jumped with you.”

“Spatial jumping does not feel wonderful at all,” Nightingale replied expressionlessly to Chen Heng.

“You can’t do this…. You can’t just abandon me after having your fun. You are heartless….”

“…He Who Knows Fate, don’t teach children the wrong thing.”

“Shining, what do He Who Knows Fate’s words mean?”

“Children should not ask.”

“I’m not a child anymore….”

Shining and Nightingale checked Chen Heng and let him go only after finding that he had no major injuries.

“You are not significantly injured, indeed. However, it’s best not to repeat that.” Although Shining let Chen Heng go, she still nagged at him.

“Be reasonable. Would I need to draw a sword normally? Would I have to draw a sword if not for running into such a monster this time?”

“Speaking of monsters, I feel that Little Brother He Who Knows Fate is even more of a monster than Talulah. However, we really have to thank you this time.” Ace walked over to Chen Heng while holding his battered shield.

“That is nothing much. However, it seems that I have to compensate Shining for her sword. Can I claim the money from Rhodes Island?” Chen Heng had returned the sword to Shining. After shoving the two halves into her staff, she returned his sniper rifle.

“So, that’s what you are worried about. Don’t worry. Rhodes Island has a place for operators to maintain and repair their equipment. I recall the maintenance operator is called Vulcan. I should bring my shield there, too; it is already so battered. That Talulah is truly terrifying.”

[TL Note: Vulcan is a Defender operator. Here is more information about Vulcan: /wiki/Vulcan/Overview.]

Ace looked at the significantly damaged shield in his hand.

Bang! Chen Heng suddenly raised his sniper rifle with one hand and fired a shot, then propped the sniper rifle back on his shoulder.

“What’s wrong, He Who Knows Fate?” Amiya looked warily in the direction Chen Heng had fired.

“Nothing much. I just saw a small rat, a very cute small rat.”

“Is that so?” Dobermann looked pensively in the direction Chen Heng had fired.

“Alright, alright, we have already reached the exit. Let’s leave quickly. When we get back to Rhodes Island, I can discuss my terms of employment with Kal’tsit. I still don’t know how much I’m paid.” Chen Heng waved, attracting everyone’s attention again.

------

On the other side, W, who had been waiting at the exit, broke out in a cold sweat. She gulped her saliva as she stared at a bullet hole about two centimeters from her head.

“I can’t afford to cross him! I can’t. This operator called He Who Knows Fate is simply a monster.” W had not known about his earlier sword strike. Otherwise, she would not have dared to wait here for Rhodes Island’s people, even if she were ten times more courageous.

------

“Hey, He Who Knows Fate, did you not ask about your terms of employment and salary when you submitted your resume?” Shining looked at Chen Heng with some shock. She had not expected him to be a simpleton who joined a company without even asking about the terms of employment; did he not fear getting cheated?

“You have to ask Amiya about this; she was the one who helped me write my resume. She did not mention this at all.” Hence, everyone looked at Amiya.

“I’m not taking the blame for that, He Who Knows Fate. Didn’t you say you only came for this operation? How would I know how long you would stay?”

“Wait, what do you mean? He Who Knows Fate, you can’t leave Rhodes Island after saving me.” This agitated Doctor. He is a seven-star Sniper and a seven-star Vanguard! How can I let him go so easily?

“Alright, alright. Let’s get back to Rhodes Island quickly. Our vehicles are right outside. Speaking of which, what are your salaries?” Chen Heng no longer wished to discuss this matter.

After leaving Chernobog, Chen Heng turned off the livestream. It was not his job to drive, and he did not know how to drive, anyway, so he rested with his eyes closed. In reality, he was in the chat group.

He Who Knows Fate: Kal’tsit, have you thought about my salary yet?

Kal’tsit: …

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Seven-star Sniper, seven-star Vanguard, eight-star Caster, six-star Supporter, and five-star Specialist.

Efreet: …

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: There’s no need to explain Sniper and Vanguard. With He Who Knows Fate’s abilities, calling him an eight-star Caster is not too much, right? In the game, Rhodes Island has a six-star Supporter called Angelina. Her ability is similar to controlling gravity, so there’s no problem treating Chen Heng as a six-star Supporter. As for the five-star Specialist, that’s purely due to his spatial jumping.

[TL Note: Here is more information on Angelina: /wiki/Angelina/Overview.]

He Who Knows Fate: …Since you put it that way, should I be asking for a higher salary?

Kal’tsit: But you are staying in Rhodes Island for only fifteen days. Furthermore, you might not remain in Rhodes Island after this.

He Who Knows Fate: So how much salary are you planning to give me?

Kal’tsit: At most 100,000 LMD.

He Who Knows Fate: How stingy.

Kal’tsit: Just shut up. If you don’t want it, just say so. If you don’t want it, then the 100,000 LMD are gone.

He Who Knows Fate: I want it. Why wouldn’t I want it? This is free money; of course, I want it.

------

“Hello, I’m Yog. Amiya said this is my name.”

“Hello, I’m Kal’tsit.”

Upon arriving in Rhodes Island, Chen Heng saw Kal’tsit, who had been waiting for some time.

“Then Kal’tsit, you should know about He Who Knows Fate’s Elite promotion materials, right? Let’s promote him to Elite 1. Does Rhodes Island have these materials?” Alright, it looked like Doctor was still obsessed with Chen Heng. The first thing she mentioned when she met Kal’tsit was this matter.

“We do, but we can’t,” Kal’tsit rejected. Had she agreed, Chen Heng would have found it strange.

“Why? Let me tell you, He Who Knows Fate is very powerful. Furthermore, he is a seven-star operator—the only seven-star operator.”

“However, he is a time-limited promotional seven-star operator. He will leave Rhodes Island and return home after some time.”

“Huh? How can it be like this? He Who Knows Fate, you will return, right?” Doctor looked at Chen Heng with an expectant gaze. Don’t ask how Chen Heng figured it out; it was instinct.

“Don’t worry. I’ll come back frequently to visit, as long as Kal’tsit agrees.”

“Then you can come to visit frequently. This is great! We can promote He Who Knows Fate to Elite 1!” Doctor became happy again, but she did not forget about promoting Chen Heng to Elite 1.

“I have not agreed yet.” Kal’tsit interrupted Doctor’s thoughts.

“Kal’tsit, you don’t agree? Why?” This is clearly a good thing. Why doesn’t Kal’tsit agree to He Who Knows Fate returning? Doctor felt somewhat bewildered.

“I agree, but Elite promotion is impossible.”

“…”
