Seeing the large words pop up on the screen, Silver Wolf was so startled she almost fell off her chair.
It wasn't until she saw the sender's nickname that she finally let out a sigh of relief:
[Silver Wolf]: Don't start a conversation like that! I almost thought I was being doxxed by someone else!
[Chu Ze]: No big deal, don't sweat the details...
[Silver Wolf]: It is a big deal though!
Pressing enter, she took a few deep breaths.
Silver Wolf then started typing on her keyboard again.
[Silver Wolf]: What's up?
[Chu Ze]: Something's up.
[Silver Wolf]: Details.
[Chu Ze]: I have a Stellaron in my body.
[Silver Wolf]: Pfft, what's the big deal? It's just a tumor.
[Silver Wolf]: The Luofu's Alchemy Commission already has mature tumor removal technology, or I can go over someday and help you with Aether Editing.
[Silver Wolf]: I'm going to continue my raid now. I'll give you a good look when I'm done.
[Chu Ze]: Oh, okay.
A conversation as mundane as asking what to eat for dinner ended just like that.
A few seconds later, Silver Wolf finally reacted and started spamming Chu Ze's message box.
[Silver Wolf]: Wait, hold on a minute?
[Silver Wolf]: What did you say you have in your body? A Stellaron??
[Chu Ze]: Yeah.
[Silver Wolf]: The same Stellaron that Elio and Kafka are always talking about?
[Chu Ze]: Yeah.
[Silver Wolf]: You're not kidding? Are you serious?
[Chu Ze]: Yeah.
[Silver Wolf]: Tell me everything... forget it, send me your coordinates. We'll come over personally.
As if a keyword had been triggered, Silver Wolf's emotions clearly became agitated.
Chu Ze didn't hide anything and sent his location directly to the other party.
Not long after, he saw a tear in the space in front of him, and two tall and one short figures walked out.
"Yo."
Chu Ze waved from his chair.
"Yo... my ass!"
Silver Wolf rushed over and started examining Chu Ze's face.
After finding no obvious external injuries, she held up her hands: "How many fingers am I holding up?"
Chu Ze blinked: "1! 5!"
"Very good, one hundred points!"
Having confirmed he was still his usual self, Silver Wolf finally relaxed a little.
A teasing voice from a mature woman came from behind:
"Silver Wolf, you really care about Ah Ze. I've rarely seen you so flustered."
Silver Wolf snorted and turned her head away coolly:
"After all, this guy is the youngest of the Stellaron Hunters. If he dies, I'll be at the bottom again."
Chu Ze took the opportunity to get close to the last man:
"Long time no see, Blade. Aren't you going to say some opening words?"
The young man named Blade was silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly:
"Kafka is right."
"..."
Yes, Chu Ze had another identity.
He was the youngest of the Stellaron Hunters, a newcomer who had just joined the organization not long ago.
It was said that Elio had seen a fluctuation in fate and personally invited him to join the Stellaron Hunters.
Chu Ze initially refused.
After all, he was a Cloud Knight of the Luofu. What would it look like to be mixed up with thieves who steal Stellarons?
But the benefits of being a Stellaron Hunter... were just too good!
An annual salary of ten million credits, comprehensive insurance, flexible working hours, and various subsidies for missions. The spoils of war didn't need to be handed over but could be kept and sold for money.
If he encountered danger, he could also call for help from the organization and summon his friends to back him up.
Most importantly, being a Stellaron Hunter meant more opportunities to fight against the strong!
Due to his status as a high-ranking Xianzhou official, Chu Ze certainly couldn't just challenge people at will, otherwise it would easily escalate into a diplomatic issue.
But as a Stellaron Hunter with a hidden identity, he could fight whenever and wherever he wanted!
"You're a good judge of character!"
So Chu Ze decisively joined the group and took the seventh seat among the Stellaron Hunters.
Now, seeing so many people respond to his call, he couldn't help but hold Silver Wolf's left hand and put his right arm around Blade, showing a touched expression:
"As the saying goes, it's hard to be brothers, we face hardships together. A glass of wine 'til dawn, just like the old days..."
"Where is that saying from! And that sounds more like song lyrics!" Silver Wolf shouted.
Kafka looked at the two bickering guys with amusement:
"Alright, let's talk about the messy stuff later."
"Firefly is at a critical stage of her treatment, so only the three of us came to check on the situation this time."
"Ah Ze, what did you mean about having a Stellaron in your body?"
When it came to serious business, Chu Ze also became a little more serious.
After all, this thing was growing inside him. If something strange happened, he would be the one to suffer.
After telling everyone about his encounter with the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, Chu Ze looked at Kafka with a little nervousness:
"Kafka-mom, do you think my body will mutate and I'll turn into a Voidranger?"
Kafka found it amusing:
"Oh? You usually seem fearless. Why are you suddenly scared now?"
Chu Ze's expression was serious:
"Because the process of being transformed into a Voidranger is completely random."
"If I become an ordinary Voidranger, it's fine, at most I'll just lose some muscle."
"But what if I turn into a Doomsday Beast-like female Voidranger with big breasts and black thigh-highs? My reputation would be completely ruined!"
So that's what you were worried about?
Focus on what's actually important!
Silver Wolf screamed internally, while Blade was boredly fiddling with Chu Ze's fitness equipment.
The only one doing her job, Kafka, approached Chu Ze and looked at him up close.
Her amethyst-like pupils flickered slightly, and after a long time, Kafka finally looked away:
"According to my perception, there is indeed a foreign object in your body."
"And if this foreign object is a Stellaron, then that means..."
Under Chu Ze's nervous gaze, Kafka smiled slightly:
"That means... this foreign object is indeed a Stellaron."
"...?"
Are you messing with me?
And since when did you learn to joke, Kafka-mom? Did Silver Wolf rub off on you?
"To be serious, this is indeed a genuine Stellaron."
"And this Stellaron has no suppression measures. Logically, it should have exploded at any time."
"But around the Stellaron, I sensed the residual aura of the Aeon of Joy."
Kafka concluded:
"It seems that besides the Aeon of Destruction, you've also caught the attention of other Aeons."
Being reminded by Kafka, Chu Ze finally remembered.
When he was delirious from the pain, a phenomenon similar to the accelerated heartbeat before encountering the Aeon of Destruction did occur, accompanied by bursts of comical laughter.
If this was the attention of the Aeon of Joy, then it all made sense.
Only an Aeon can fight an Aeon.
It seems he was glanced at by the God of Fun, which quelled the Stellaron's rampage.
"I see, it was the God of Fun who intervened."
Chu Ze said with some emotion:
"But I've never had anything to do with Joy. I'm usually a serious person, neither happy nor sad. How could I attract Aha's attention?"
Silver Wolf narrowed her eyes beside him:
"You should take a look in the mirror first."
"...Why? To admire my own handsome face?"
"Because after looking in the mirror, you'll be amused by yourself and then become a follower of the Path of Joy."
"???"
Chu Ze immediately lunged forward and started pinching Silver Wolf's cheeks.
Silver Wolf was also prepared, dodging the sneak attack and kicking Chu Ze in the butt.
The battle started in an instant, and the two began to fight.
Soon the room was filled with flying pillows and a complete mess...
