"These guys…" Sam muttered. "Are they the reincarnators and transmigrators from my memories?"
Robin replied calmly, "That's right. Exactly that kind."
Sam blinked. "You've got to be kidding me. Reincarnators? Transmigrators? So all those web novels I read were actually real? …Well, I guess if I can run into this kind of stuff, that isn't so shocking anymore."
He rubbed his temples and sighed. "Man, now literally every kind of demon and freak is crawling out of the woodwork."
Robin's tone turned businesslike. "This is an emergency commission. Guild Leader, please assemble a team and depart as soon as possible."
"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Sam let out another sigh. He'd been planning to quietly explore all the new guild updates first. "Fine. I'll notify everyone."
He reached for his guild token.
"…?"
Wait. Where the hell is my token?
It was just here a second ago!
Robin explained, "One of the guild updates: the physical token has been replaced. It's now a virtual interface visible only to the holder."
Sam's eyes lit up. "Damn, that's a sick update. Totally hands-free now."
He silently gave it a mental thumbs-up. Carrying around a physical token all the time had been a pain.
"Hey, hey, everyone get online! New mission just dropped!"
He tagged the whole group.
Arendelle's Crown Princess: "I was wondering what that noise was so early in the morning. Turns out the Guild Leader was looking for us!"
Elsa blinked as she woke up, only to find a floating virtual screen hovering in front of her face.
She nearly jumped out of bed.
If Sam's profile picture hadn't been so obvious, she might've instinctively blasted it with an ice spell.
Social Sister Bao'er: "What's going on?"
"…Uh, what's this thing?"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Hahaha, looks like everyone got startled."
"This is one of the new guild features. The token's gone. Now it's replaced with a virtual screen only you can see."
Elsa nodded.
As a queen, she had to admit she quite liked this feature.
Back when they used tokens to chat, only she could see the messages. Her little sister couldn't see anything, so she'd just watch Elsa staring at the token and muttering to herself. At one point, her sister had even worried she was sick.
Social Sister Bao'er: "Oh~ (blank stare.jpg)"
I don't understand, but that won't stop me from pretending I do!
(I'm super smart, okay.jpg)
It's Sam, Not Sam: "There's a new commission. Anyone interested? The rewards are pretty generous."
Social Sister Bao'er: "A mission? What kind of mission?"
Feng Baobao looked completely lost. Last time, during the Douluo World mission, she hadn't understood a thing.
Well… maybe she did understand. Or maybe she just forgot.
Assassin Wu Liuqi: "New commission? I'm in! Count me in!!!"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Sure. If you want in, come over. We're heading out soon."
Assassin Wu Liuqi: "Uh… wait…"
"Sorry! Dabao just accepted an assassination job. No time to go. I just missed out on a fortune! (crying.jpg)"
Social Sister Bao'er: "I'm on a job too right now. (scratching head.jpg)"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Bao'er, you're working? Then just focus on that. Though, your current situation in your world seems kinda awkward, huh~"
Social Sister Bao'er: "It's fine~ Oh, someone's calling me. Gotta get back to work."
And just like that, Feng Baobao logged off.
Arendelle's Crown Princess: "I'm busy too. I was gone too long last time. After I came back, I promised my sister we'd go out and have fun today."
"…But if you really need help, I can postpone our plans a little."
"It's fine, it's fine. I can handle this one," Sam replied.
It's Sam, Not Sam: "The mission rank isn't that high. I can manage."
"It's just a fifth-tier mission. I'll be fine solo."
I Am Not a Pet: "Uh… did you forget about me? I was going to say I want to join this mission too…"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "No need to sign up."
I Am Not a Pet: "???"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Because the mission world is your world. (shrug.jpg) Surprised? Shocked?"
I Am Not a Pet: "…"
Arendelle's Crown Princess: "…"
Assassin Wu Liuqi: "…"
Social Sister Bao'er: "Kid, you're asking to get punched. (picking nose.jpg)"
After sending that, Feng Baobao logged off again.
I Am Not a Pet: "Can you explain the mission?"
Kurama frowned slightly. Something about this didn't feel simple.
Assassin Wu Liuqi: "Yeah, I'm curious too."
Arendelle's Crown Princess: "+1."
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Umm… didn't I already say? (confused.jpg)"
Assassin Wu Liuqi: "No way, Guild Leader. You're still young. Your memory's already this bad? Did you give out too many rewards or something? (grinning.jpg)"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "…"
Ding: Assassin Wu Liuqi has been muted for one minute.
Arendelle's Crown Princess: "…"
I Am Not a Pet: "…"
Sam cleared his throat.
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Ahem. Since you didn't hear clearly, I'll say it again. (You really didn't hear it clearly, right? holding a blood-dripping kitchen knife.jpg)"
Kurama: "That's a blatant threat, isn't it? (speechless.jpg)"
It's Sam, Not Sam: "Hm? (mute warning.jpg)"
Kurama: "…"
Arendelle's Crown Princess: "Guild Leader, please explain again. (bowing to authority.jpg)"
"Alright, listen carefully this time. (Fine, I'll say it again. shrug.jpg)"
Kurama and Elsa thought at the same time:
The Guild Leader is getting more shameless by the day.
It's Sam, Not Sam:
"The Super-Dimensional Mercenary Guild has received a commission from Kurama's world."
"It seems Kurama's world has detected the presence of a Main God reincarnator and transmigrators. They're threatening the world's peace and stability, so it issued a mission to eliminate them."
"And the rewards this time are really good."
As he spoke, Sam snapped a screenshot of the mission panel and sent it into the group chat.
