Chapter 215 (2/2)

Under the Space Administration’s rules and regulations, aside from the parties directly involved in the mission, any activities done under the administration’s name cannot affect the lives of unrelated parties, while those who are somewhat involved are made to swear oaths of secrecy. However, Becky was a victim of circumstance and the Space Administration would take responsibility of that. Thus, Hao Ren simply forwent any pretense of secrecy. Granted, he still had a headache on how to actually solve the issue and submit his report as well as let the MDT investigate what actually went wrong.

As Becky listened to Hao Ren’s explanation, her eyes opened even wider. After taking a while to digest what she was told, she looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. “So… you’re saying this is not a prank?”

“I really wish it was simply just a prank,” Hao Ren said as he placed his face in his hands. “Things are already messy as it is. And now, I have even more on my plate. I don’t know if I’ve screwed up somewhere with regard to the teleportation… Well, I didn’t even do much. I simply clicked on ‘Confirm’ using my mind.”

Becky then demurred for a moment before looking up again. “So.. I’m in another world right now?”

“Yes, another world altogether.”

“And all of you were from another world and you were carrying out a mission where I’m from?”

“Yep, we are originally from here.”

“No wonder you guys were so weird there. You didn’t even have any basic knowledge.”

Hao Ren could only nod. “Yes, yes and yes. So that explains everything right?”

“No wonder you guys had no interest on the whereabouts of the orb,” Becky mumbled to herself. All of a sudden, she laughed out loud. “Ahahahaha! So stuff like the stories do happen! Wow, I’m really cut out to be a legendary mercenary!”

Becky’s reaction took Hao Ren absolutely by surprise as she appeared to be so unconcerned about her current situation, after being thrown across dimensions. “You’re not nervous or feeling lost? Not confused at all? Not looking to take down the perpetrator with you?”

“Why do you think that way?” Becky was curious. “This is a good chance to broaden my horizons. I never had the chance to go this far before. Even the most famous of heroes don’t have such an opportunity. I’ll probably stay for a few days to see what’s going on around here. It’s not like I can’t go back, right? You guys make going back and forth look easy. What do I have to worry about then?”

Hao Ren had no idea how to respond to her. Most of the time, people who cross into another dimension would panic as they have no way home… but for Becky, she quickly realized that she had been transported over by a known mean and after she has had her fill of adventure, she could simply go home. Hao Ren had not seen such a mental fortitude like hers.

Nevertheless, Hao Ren knew the about the anomalies involved in traveling from the Surface World into The Plane of Dreams and felt that Becky was celebrating way too early. However, seeing how happy she was, he did not have the heart to burst her bubble just yet.

Sighing, he said, “Sure, you can stay here for a while. I’ll let you have your adventure. Think of it as thanks for helping us so far.”

“Well said, well said!” Becky waved her hand as she mimicked Lily, gobbling down the food on the table. “Uwahh! The food here is pretty good! It’s just that the outer layer is a bit tough to open… Is this meant for adventurers or soldiers? The outer layer seems to be water proof as well…”

Hao Ren was still busy contemplating how he should go about solving the issue at hand before something struck him. “Oh right, why did you have to cleave my microwave in two?”

“Microwave? You mean that weird box?” Becky recalled the funny looking box that she had so unceremoniously cleaved and jolted herself with.” I didn’t even know what that was. When I was thrown over here and everything was still spinning, I had just touched it before some weird energy started to form inside the box. I thought it was some kind of booby trap and just cleaved at the energy’s focal point as usual…”

“…”

Hao Ren had a feeling that things were about to get very, very hectic from then on.
