Chapter 551: Aberration
[Through a deceitful act, you successfully obtained an honorary royal member's order from Princess Feiliya, aged 12, and received a silver identity badge "Crolock Royal Family (Honorary)"]
[Crolock Royal Family (Honorary): A royal member of the City of Machinery, Crolock Kingdom, although it's just an honorary title with no rights to inherit the throne, your honorary royal status is still recognized by the Crolock Kingdom.]
[Wearing effect: As the "savior" who secured Crolock Kingdom and thus gained an honorary royal title, you will receive the respect of all Crolock Kingdom citizens and enjoy the same power and treatment as royal family members of the Crolock Kingdom.]
[Advance Route: If you can establish a marriage relationship with Princess Feiliya after she reaches adulthood, this badge will automatically advance to a gold badge "Crolock Prince"]
[Hidden attribute (no need to wear): Due to your "correction of chaos" justice behavior, your reputation among all friendly forces will greatly increase, but your fierce methods of subverting the kingdom may also cause vigilance among certain forces.]
Only silver?
After glancing at the description of the [Crolock Royal Family (Honorary)], Leon let out a sigh of disappointment.
He had gone through so much trouble, initially aiming for a gold badge like the [Migratory Thrush Prince] to gain the ability to command people to bow, adding an extra ten percent chance of success when dealing with the Scorpio Director, but all he got was a silver identity badge without any practical effect...
Oh well, gaining something is better than nothing.
After closing the badge panel, Leon took out a dozen "borrowed" identity cards from the mirror world and handed them to the still dazed green-eyed girl, then instructed:
"I still have a lot to do; you take these identity cards and wait until the time is right, then swipe a card and take the bus to Celebration Street to give your speech... do you have any other questions?"
"Yes..."
Holding a large handful of identity cards, Feiliya couldn't help but twitch her mouth, then asked incredulously:
"I'm going to deliver a coup speech; such a big deal, and you're just letting me take the bus by myself? And even the bus fare is stolen from others?"
"What's wrong with taking the bus? Last time I staged a coup, I also rented a public carriage to the palace, and it worked just fine."
With a nonchalant wave, Leon comforted her:
"Trust me, I have experience in staging coups. The key to success lies in how solid your support is and how swift and decisive your actions are; it has nothing to do with your mode of transportation, and if your support is strong enough, even walking there won't make a difference."
"..."
A coup is a serious matter! Why does it sound so casual when you say it, like taking a leisurely stroll outside?
"Well, if this doesn't suit you, I actually have another plan."
Seeing the green-eyed girl in front of him biting her lower lip and staring at him, face flushed, Leon thought for a moment, then said seriously:
"The cards you're holding are precious identity cards obtained at great risk of exposure and through contact with royalist citizens.
In all the districts of the Crolock Kingdom, under Atifie00's stringent surveillance, the only way to bypass their evil monitoring and reach Celebration Street is to use these precious cards donated by helpful citizens.
With these hard-won identification cards, cautiously boarding a vehicle traveling at high speed, you'll arrive at our planned key location to deliver a crucial speech to overthrow Prince Andre's vile regime..."
It's the same result!!!
After hearing Leon's seemingly impressive yet still bus-dependent "new" plan, the green-eyed girl stomped her foot in anger and protested:
"You..."
"I've already arranged everything for you."
Gently patting Feiliya's head, having gotten back at her earlier accusation of "creep," Leon smiled and said:
"Several legion commanders of the royal family's direct legion should already be waiting over there; your pet sheep has memorized their soul waves and will guide you to find them.
Moreover, the sheep can see others' souls and identify any hostile targets toward you. With it around, you don't have to worry about your safety. So, go on without concern!"
...
"Atifie, your skills remain as reassuring as ever."
Looking at the tall and slender man in front of him, unscathed and humbly bowing with a large suitcase in one hand, Prince Andre nodded in satisfaction.
When they dug out the Scorpio Director from the ruins of Administrative District 38, although he was still alive, over three-fifths of his body was damaged, and his soul was tightly sealed within his body by "White Snake," leaving him on the verge of death.
It was unexpected that in just a few days, Atifie00 had fully "repaired" him, not only completely mending his damaged flesh but even restoring the soul's strength detected by the instrument to over 80% of its original, far exceeding his expectations.
This just attests that although her computational ability is not as good as Feiliya's, as a former chief controller of the No. 1 Science Area and a genius scholar qualified to leave a legacy in the Crolock Kingdom, her scientific prowess far exceeds that of Feiliya, who died at 12.
"That's rare."
Glancing at Prince Andre, whose expression was surprisingly content and even smiling faintly, Atifie00 commented in astonishment:
"You actually say nice things about me?"
"I'm not a nuisance who likes to provoke people; I just don't like what you do and can't be bothered to deal with your movements usually."
For some reason, Prince Andre was in an exceptionally good mood today. After appreciating the "very lively" Scorpio Director in front of them, he turned to Atifie00 with a smile, saying:
"You did a great job this time; naturally, I won't criticize you without reason."
"..."
Why does he seem a little strange?
Watching Andre, who was usually aloof but now had a downright sunny demeanor, Atifie00 blinked, momentarily unaccustomed to this new disposition.
"Actually, the 'puppet' isn't as good as it seems."
For some reason, Andre's sunny disposition made Atifie00 a bit uneasy, so after a moment of hesitation, she decided to be straightforward about a situation she'd initially intended to keep under wraps, and said:
"His body may still look 'human,' but its form and structure are more than just human; there are many parts that surpass human limits, essentially making him a different species altogether.
Although I repaired as much as possible and even integrated some of the Divine Blood and flesh provided by Aquarius Director in the past, the materials' strength is insufficient, not reaching his original capabilities, and under full exertion, his patched-up body could experience a collapse."
