What bad luck this kid had. After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuelan directly sent a private message to “Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars.”
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: @Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars, what kind of vehicle do you have? Can you try carrying it and walking for a while?】
【Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars: @Please Take Your Seat, Princess, big sis, I can’t do it! There are still four kilometers left, I can’t lift it with my tiny arms and legs.】
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: You unlucky kid, what were you doing earlier? You couldn’t even cover such a short distance. Also, remember to change your catchphrase. If others discover your real identity, it won’t do you any good.】
From the tone of this kid, it was obvious they weren’t an adult yet, possibly just barely above the system’s minimum age requirement. The kind of person who would be extremely easy to target and rob. They absolutely needed to learn how to disguise themselves.
Lu Yuelan herself had a cute little unlucky nephew who had just turned ten, so she naturally had a favorable impression of kids in this age range. Moreover, she also had another thought, if her nephew ever found himself in trouble, she hoped someone like her would be willing to help him through it.
With that pleasant fantasy in mind, Lu Yuelan wanted to help this person, just as she would want someone to help her own nephew.
【Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars: Thank you, big sis. You’re so nice.】
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: Don’t rush to thank me yet. I still need your help with something.】
【Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars: Huh? I’m already this unlucky, what could I possibly help you with, big sis? Just say it directly. If it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely do it properly for you.】
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: Go farther and take a look, see if there are any shops or gas stations nearby. Later, you can leave something valuable with me as collateral, and I’ll transfer you some resource coins. You help me buy fuel or electricity. I won’t take advantage of you, I’ll give you 10% of the amount as payment.】
Doing this carried a high risk. Lu Yuelan had no idea what kind of items the kid would send her. If they were all junk and the other party ran off with the money, she would suffer a complete loss.
But for that small bit of emotional reassurance, Lu Yuelan still transferred the resource coins over without hesitation. She didn’t really expect to get anything good in return.
Saying that was just to avoid looking like a sucker; she hadn’t intended to take advantage of the child.
After all, not everyone had the qualifications to buy gasoline or electricity. It was just polite wording to preserve the child’s dignity.
However, when she saw the item the kid sent over, Lu Yuelan suddenly felt like she had become a bad aunt, tricking a child out of their precious belongings.
【Ding. “Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars” has traded you three talismans. The system detected that player Lu Yuelan has no backpack, so they have been temporarily stored in the system inventory. Please retrieve them in time; otherwise, they will be destroyed.】
Lu Yuelan’s mouth twitched.
This kid was far too trusting. Talismans, legendary items like that, were just casually handed over without any hesitation. Wasn’t he even slightly worried she might be a bad person, harbor ill intentions, rob him, or even go as far as silencing him to cover it up?
It seemed her earlier words hadn’t registered at all with the child. He remained completely carefree and defenseless, which was honestly a bit suffocating to watch.
Especially after seeing the effects of the three talismans, her sense of frustration grew even stronger.
【Thunder Talisman: After tearing it, it calls down heavenly lightning within a hundred-mile radius, launching a thunder strike against enemies/beasts, dealing a 10% dimensional reduction attack.】
【Temperature Control Talisman: Stick it on the user’s body. It is immune to cold and heat, warm in winter and cool in summer. Mom never has to worry about me catching a cold again.】
【Purification Water Talisman: Sea water is heavily polluted and water sources are unusable. Don’t worry, with me here, your drinking water will no longer be a major problem.】
Lu Yuelan felt that her luck was already pretty good, but compared to this kid, she was basically an extreme unlucky player.
Look at this, he even had offensive weapons, so there was no need to worry about powerful enemies.
He also didn’t have to fear extreme droughts or freezing weather killing him from thirst, heat, or cold.
Lu Yuelan was so envious her eyes practically turned green. She quickly typed a message to “Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars.”
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: My little cutie! Why are you so adorable? These are treasures that can’t just be shown to others, quick, take them back.】
【Ding. “Please Take Your Seat, Princess” has returned your trade. During the beginner period, there are no transaction fees. After the beginner period, please be careful when trading. If a transaction fails, any deducted fees will not be refunded.】
On the other side, a blond little boy with slightly curly hair was puffing and hurrying toward a nearby shop. Hearing the system notification, his expression tightened. He thought the other party had found his items too trashy and no longer wanted to help him, intending to cancel the support deal. His heart sank into despair, was he really unable to escape this time?
He still hadn’t found his physically weak aunt. He couldn’t fall here. Just as he was about to abandon his aunt’s teaching of being kind to others and first secure fuel money for his vehicle, planning to repay the kind sister later if he ever got the chance—
He saw a message from the big sister. Only then did he finally relax. So she wasn’t rejecting his items for being too poor in quality, she was just embarrassed to take advantage of a child.
It seemed this big sister was even kinder than he had imagined. She was just like his aunt, a good person. When he met his aunt in the future, he would definitely tell her and properly repay this kind big sister.
【Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars: Just take everything, big sister.】
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: No. I can’t take advantage of you just because you’re young and don’t understand. If you reunite with your guardian in the future and find out I tricked you, they’ll hunt me down across a thousand miles. One must not repay kindness with ingratitude. I’m just a weak softie, I can’t handle being violently targeted.】
【Earth Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Go Back to Mars: Pfft~ Big sister just said I have too little caution and exposed all my limits to strangers, but isn’t big sister doing the same thing?】
【Please Take Your Seat, Princess: Cough cough. Some things are better left unsaid. Does big sister not need face? You little brat, hurry up and work, big sister wants good stuff.】
Lu Yuelan even sent a lewd meme image of a landlord whipping a hired worker.
The blond, curly-haired little boy burst into laughter when he saw the lewd image of the landlord whipping a hired worker.
All the frustration from being tricked by the game’s occupational mission was instantly swept away. He pushed open the shop door, ready to buy plenty of things for the kind big sister, and also to fully refill his own fuel tank.
His vehicle wasn’t nearby, so he wasn’t sure whether he could go out to refuel, whether it would be too expensive, or whether the money the big sister gave him would even be enough for his own fuel costs. If it wasn’t enough, how could he help her at all…
After doing her good deed of helping someone, Lu Yuelan didn’t think much more about it. She didn’t believe the little guy could successfully complete the task she gave him. But saving a small life mattered more than anything else.
She just hoped her nephew would also meet a good person who could help him…
Although it felt like a long time had passed, in reality only a few minutes had gone by.
Just as Lu Yuelan finished her task, the traffic light turned green right on cue, no time was wasted at all. She also obtained very important information: green treasure chests contained creatures that ordinary people couldn’t deal with. At the very least, someone like Lu Yuelan, a complete weakling, definitely couldn’t handle them.
Without proper powerful weapons, she had no intention of opening the green treasure chest. She left it in the back seat to collect dust. Survival through caution was the best strategy. She still had important people to protect, she couldn’t die here.
