"Is that so? That's boring." Although Kanna still acted tough, her heart, which she had been holding, finally dropped.
From the moment she entered this world, she had wondered if there would be other transmigrators, and what would happen if they met. But after the system's answer this time, her long-held suspense finally eased.
"Speaking of which, didn't I hear that your system has some kind of Newbie Gift Pack ? Why haven't I seen you get one for me? And what about a dedicated system space?" Since she could chat, Kanna shamelessly began to sweet-talk her system, following the tropes of web novels she had read.
"Your current body is the Newbie Gift . Your original body was annihilated during the Crossing process, leaving only a wisp of your soul upon reaching Terra. I copied a body from the last person you saw before you arrived, and sent your soul into it.
The strength of this body is formidable and quite compatible with the development direction of this system. However, it seems you have developed less than one ten-thousandth of your body's power. If you hadn't found a contact point, you wouldn't have had the chance to communicate with me."
After reading this, Kanna had a sudden realization. No wonder she woke up looking like Kanna; it turned out she had already died once.
Recalling the moment before her consciousness dissipated, the last person she saw was indeed Kanna. It seemed she had really lucked out.
"As for a dedicated space, it is not within the scope of abilities provided by this system. This system only provides methods for obtaining and using lightning-based and related auxiliary skills."
"Only lightning? What about electromagnetism? What about radio waves?"
"I checked your past experiences. Didn't you successfully use laser and electromagnetic pulse abilities on your own before? Why are you still asking such questions???"
Those three question marks at the end clearly mocked Kanna's intelligence.
At that moment, Kanna felt so angry! She was actually being mocked by the system… "Then what's the deal with these missions?"
"To prevent collusion between the system and the host, this system's missions currently use the most advanced completely random method. Therefore, the missions you receive and the time you receive them are entirely random, and I cannot control them. However, the host itself can live for a very long time, and there are no penalties for mission failure. If it's really not working out, just wait a bit longer; there will always be missions that satisfy you."
Seeing the new message, Kanna looked helpless. She had originally thought that being able to talk to the system would allow her to gain some benefits, or at the very least, get some preferential treatment for missions. But she had already used the former, and this crappy system couldn't even control the latter.
"Beep, beep, beep!" A squad of fully armed Rupo suddenly appeared ahead. Judging by their uniform suits and the short crossbows each person carried, these individuals were clearly not to be trifled with.
They were cautiously searching for something, and upon seeing the suddenly appearing vehicle, some of them warily aimed their weapons.
Seeing the other party approach cautiously, Kal'tsit calmly opened the car window, signaling that there was no "danger" inside.
"Excuse me, we are just passersby and have no intention of interfering with your work."
Seeing only a woman and a child inside the car, the person who came to investigate visibly relaxed.
Just as everyone focused their attention on the newly arrived car, Kanna saw a silver wolf emerge from behind the nearby trees. She covered the mouth of the last person with one hand, then her longsword in the other hand swiftly pierced through the person's chest and twisted forcefully. The person trembled once, then went limp.
Before the people in front could turn around, she swung her longsword, slitting the throats of the two closest individuals. Then, the silver wolf quickly ducked back into the forest. Everything seemed so precise and deadly.
A few seconds later, several people, smelling blood, suddenly realized that their teammates had been killed.
Their shouts also attracted the attention of the people by the car. After realizing that the vehicle had no connection to the enemy, those people lost their patience and waved Kal'tsit to drive away.
As they drove, Kanna extended her hand out the window and dropped a miniaturized Thunderbolt Wedge behind a nearby rock, suppressing its detonation. Kal'tsit, who noticed Kanna's action, did not speak to stop her.
When the car had driven several tens of meters, a sudden clap of thunder erupted behind them. That thunderclap caused the Rupo to shift their attention to the road, giving the silver wolf another opportunity.
Using the two opportunities provided by Kal'tsit's group, the silver wolf quickly cleared out the squad.
She looked in the direction the vehicle had left, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Although the first time she had seized the opportunity to act was due to their arrival, the sudden explosion later must have been their doing. However, after searching her memories, she realized she didn't know either of them. So why would they help her?
Although a hint of doubt remained in her heart, the objective had been successfully completed. The silver wolf did not linger and quickly disappeared into the forest.
"Do you know her?" Kal'tsit continued to stare straight ahead.
"No!" Kanna calmly replied, hearing Kal'tsit's words.
"Then why did you help her? Siracusa's composition is very complex; don't assume that the person you save will be a good person."
She didn't believe Kanna would help a stranger out of mere interest.
"Uh, how should I put it? How about you just consider it as being satisfied with her 'performance'? Or rather, I have a premonition that Rhodes Island and she are fated. That Rupo might very well become our companion."
As a member of Penguin Logistics, Kanna believed Lapland would definitely not die here. However, since there was an interaction, doing a small favor was just a matter of convenience. After the Doctor returned, Lapland would also stay on the Island with Penguin Logistics for a while.
Back then, Lapland's silence when fighting the Exploding Bugs and Seaborn had saved her life, so helping her now was also fulfilling a wish.
Kal'tsit was clearly unconvinced, but she also didn't believe that this little dragon-human had any connection to Siracusa's gangs. After all, she had also witnessed the Rupo's actions, and the other party had observed their side. If they truly knew Kanna, she wouldn't have appeared so indifferent.
