Zuo Si was plastered against the wall, in the sort of way that made it impossible to pry him off.
It was serious.
He could not move a muscle now. Although he felt no pain in his body and was not covered in Nergigante's saliva, his power was not enough to help him crawl out of this. The surrounding rocks were wedged against his body, leaving him unable to move at all.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
Just a moment ago, when he was inside that Nergigante's mouth, he had used all his strength to finally pull out his DOOM gun. Then, without a second thought, he aimed directly at the Nergigante's cheek and fired a shot.
Facts proved that the DOOM weapon was incredibly powerful even without being tuned, and this shot was fired from inside the Nergigante's mouth—no matter how strong the Nergigante's combat ability was, the defense of its oral cavity was just a little bit lacking.
Zuo Si's shot went straight through the Nergigante's cheek.
That poor Ancient Dragon spat Zuo Si out immediately and left with a wounded mouth, while Zuo Si, the culprit, ended up stuck in the stone slab...
As an ordinary human, Zuo Si really had no method to crawl out of here...
Fortunately, he saw a beautiful female hunter walking over with a greatsword. Zuo Si took a closer look and discovered that she was wearing what appeared to be Iceborne Dragon armor, and she seemed to be a user of the greatsword.
However, among hunters, the one who could afford to wear this set was likely the legendary, long-suffering Azure Star.
He did not expect the Azure Star to be a girl, and such a good-looking one at that.
It was just that she seemed a bit flat-chested...
Victoria looked at the man stuck in the crystals and could not help but chuckle for a moment. She reached out, grabbed the corner of Zuo Si's armor, and with a slight tug, pulled Zuo Si out.
Zuo Si stumbled slightly and nearly fell, but fortunately, Victoria supported him, and he managed to stand steady.
He looked at the girl before him with a slightly awkward smile.
"Hello, my name is Victoria, and I am a hunter from the nearby Investigation Team."
But whether it was Zuo Si's imagination or not, he felt that this lady before him seemed to be in a very pleasant mood.
Come to think of it, shouldn't the Azure Star be a silent Tool Person?
【 The target for this mission has been encountered; please invite them to board the island. 】
As expected, this was the mission target, and there was a high probability that she was the Azure Star.
Come to think of it, Rick really does recruit people at random...
Did he not even tell this Azure Star what was going to happen next?
Holding such suspicions, Zuo Si hesitated for a moment, then revealed a smile that looked like a marketing pitch.
"Hello, are you interested in the Uninhabited Island relocation plan?"
Then, in Zuo Si's view, a blank expression clearly appeared on the face of this Azure Star.
"What is that?"
Damn, screw it, Rick really was recruiting people at random.
In this instant, Zuo Si felt like a real estate salesman.
He let out a half-sigh, but he still told this lady about the uninhabited island plan.
After he finished explaining, the petite lady before him was silent for a while and did not speak for a moment.
Zuo Si felt a bit of awkwardness; if he saw someone like this on the street saying this to him, he would most likely pick up his phone and call the police.
So, after sighing twice, Zuo Si decided to use his eloquence to properly sweet-talk the lady before him.
But at this very moment, he suddenly saw the Azure Star before him lift her head and look at him.
There seemed to be a glimmer of light in the young girl's eyes.
"There's such a good deal?"
Zuo Si: "???"
He always felt that his thought process was not on the same wavelength as this Azure Star.
"Hey, you don't know, I'm busy from morning till night in my Investigation Team, it seems like I'm busy every single day. That group of people asks me for help with every little thing, I really don't want to work anymore! But those guys always call me the Azure Star, oh what Azure Star, this can't be done without you, Azure Star, I have to beg you for this matter. But I really don't want to do it anymore! I really want to retire..."
As if some chatterbox had been opened, this beautiful woman started to ramble on and on.
Zuo Si was completely stunned.
Wasn't the Azure Star supposed to be a long-suffering, silent Tool Person?
Why did this Azure Star talk so much?
Zuo Si felt a bit dumbfounded.
After the lady finished rambling on, she seemed to finally feel that something was inappropriate, so she showed a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Sorry. I'm usually quite talkative, I just couldn't hold back a little today."
Zuo Si looked at the young girl before him and gave a very stiff Nod.
This seemed to be more than just talkative; she was practically a Chatterbox!
"Then, Miss Azure Star..."
"Please call me Victoria, I feel tired the moment I hear the name Azure Star now."
"...Then, Miss Victoria, would you be willing to go live on our island?"
"I suppose I could." Victoria's brows twitched slightly, "It's just that..."
"How can I be sure that what you're saying is true?"
The lady's tone changed, becoming playful and Serious.
Zuo Si sighed slightly in his heart.
As the Azure Star who had traversed the entire New Continent, it was impossible for her to have no guard at all. Although she had been chatting freely with Zuo Si just now, she had never put away her weapon.
Zuo Si was very clear about this; he was the same kind of person himself.
At least in his original world, he was indeed that kind of person.
"I can take you to take a look, and if you don't want to live there, you can come back at any time." With no other method, Zuo Si could only make this promise.
The Azure Star was silent for a moment after hearing this.
She was indeed very interested in this newcomer, and at the same time, she did feel that life with the Investigation Team was truly exhausting. However, if she left, would the entire Investigation Team fall into a state of chaos?
Thinking of this, Victoria immediately thought of those eager colleagues grinning at her.
"Azure Star!"
They seemed to shout in unison, their voices filled with emotion.
She could not help but feel a bit moved, so she gave a Serious Nod.
"Okay, I'll go."
Zuo Si looked at the girl before him; he always felt that she had been thinking about something strange just now.
