Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Rewinding time to yesterday morning, an array of individuals had already gathered in the bustling hall of the Quest Guild in Delis Town.

Situated at the heart of the crowd was Wallace Azure Lizard, the eldest son of the Azure Lizard family. His tall stature and soft, handsome features were enough to draw eyes, even while he merely stood there.

Beside Wallace was Vanessa Snowy Hart, the second young lady of the Snowy Hart family. Her presence enhanced Wallace's luminescence, causing others to instinctively stand at a considerable distance.

On the other side, Branch Chief Pamela had also arrived early.

She surveyed the number of attendees, then ascended to the second floor to invite Ice Polestar ·Sheryl to join them.

Upon taking the stage, Ice Polestar ·Sheryl first surveyed the attendees.

She was somewhat surprised to find that Felix, Garvit, Heloise, and Babur, all of whom she had seen the day before, were still present. She had assumed that her harsh words from yesterday would have been enough to dissuade them.

Aside from these four, the newly arrived individuals in Delis Town, Wallace Azure Lizard and Vanessa Snowy Hart, were a welcome sight to Ice Polestar ·Sheryl.

She felt as if there were finally some decent candidates. If more mediocre individuals continued to arrive, she thought she might as well return to the palace to report early.

.

Subsequently,? Ice Polestar ·Sheryl began to explain the process of selecting the team leaders, her opening remark being, "Listen carefully, you bunch of losers."

She informed everyone that since the Labyrinth: Aqua Nest had three entrances, three teams and three team leaders would be formed accordingly.

As there were two entrances in Delis Town, Ice Polestar ·Sheryl would select two leaders before officially entering the labyrinth.

Being a team leader was not merely a title, but also came with specific privileges.

Ice Polestar ·Sheryl declared that the team leader would possess three privileges:

1 The power to select team members;

2 The right to receive extra royal rewards ;

3 The authority to determine the distribution of labyrinth treasures within the team.

Thus, becoming a team leader was unquestionably a beneficial position.

Considering that the final departure date for the labyrinth raid team was set for July 22nd, which was 12 days away,? Ice Polestar ·Sheryl divided the remaining 12 days into two parts. She would select the first leader during the first six days and the second leader during the remaining six days.

The selection method was quite simple—traditional one-on-one arena fights.

Owing to her distaste for hassle, Ice Polestar ·Sheryl pulled out the ready-made arena rules and had Branch Chief Pamela post them. Moreover, during the arena proceedings, Ice Polestar ·Sheryl and Branch Chief Pamela would jointly serve as referees to ensure fairness, impartiality, and efficacy.

That was the summary of yesterday's "Team Leader Selection" event.

.

From yesterday to today (July 9th), the only person who signed up to fight in the arena was Babur, the representative of Madison Town. He automatically became the arena master and was extremely proud.

The others who did not sign up were not in a hurry at all because they had already understood the real rules of this "Team Leader Selection". There was no need to rush to the arena and waste their energy.

Indeed, if one truly wanted to be a team leader, they only needed to fight for the position of the arena master in the last one or two days. There was no need to foolishly guard the arena for several days.

.

— (Lord Wallace would definitely fight for the team leader… so there's only one spot left…)

— (Sigh… I don't want to fight Felix for the last spot…however…)

Back in the Red Leaf Inn, Vanessa was drafting an agreement while pondering about the team leader positions.

Even though she had found a "Dragon Shadow" to cooperate with, Vanessa still did not plan to give up the other route immediately.

She, who was well aware of the treacherous nature of humanity, would not easily put all her fate in one basket.

Also, to prevent Lord Wallace from discovering her other identity, Vanessa had to continue to play her role as a young lady.

For this reason, she had already agreed with Lord Felix that the assistance to the Dragon Shadow would only be conducted in secret. On the surface, Vanessa and Lord Felix would pretend not to know each other.

— (All right… the agreement finally finished!) d(d＇?＇)

— (Hoped that this could pass in one go!)

After Vanessa had revised the cooperation agreement twice to ensure there were no issues, she quickly dressed and set off.

.

Tyler stands by the window of the inn, observing the bustling street while nonchalantly honing his skills within a long-missed atmosphere of tranquility.

With the Unknown Death and the Parasitic Blood Serpent incidents smoothly resolved, two burdensome stones seemed to have finally been lifted from his heart.

This time, there were no grand spectacles or life-or-death struggles, but Tyler had to tread carefully at every turn.

Compared to direct confrontations with adversaries, such a passive situation, where power was of no use, was more unsettling for him.

Now that he had finally earned a much-needed respite, he was naturally inclined to regroup and reenergize.

Tyler was well aware that while he rested, his enemies would not be idle.

.

Soon, Tyler had finished his daily routine of honing his skills. "Calculation Boost" had been upgraded from level 13 to 15, the key upgrade being Overclock, which increased the calculation boost effect from double to 2.5 times during its state, enhancing the calculation ability by 50%. (Correspondingly, the magic energy consumption also increased to 2.5 times, consuming 50 points of magic energy per second.)

In addition, "Deceiver" was upgraded from level 18 to 20, and the effective range of "Charm Effect" was upgraded from "Level 4 objects and below" to "Level 5".

According to Tyler's observation of the general populace's level, this upgrade suggested that the "Charm Effect" could now manipulate more than one-fifth of the people on the street, especially children and young people of lower levels.

If it were not for the restriction in "Soul Curse: Purgatory of the Heartless" that required a "sincere" confession, Tyler could have happily manipulated countless young girls to confess to him.

Afterward, Tyler started to produce potions in bulk, which also served as a way to pass the time while waiting for Vanessa to bring the agreement.

Meanwhile, within the inn, amidst the clinking of bottles and jars as Tyler prepared potions, Heloise gradually awakened from her sleep.

. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

In her drowsy state, Heloise saw that Felix was preparing potions and thought, "Ah, it's time to receive the 'Purification Ritual'."

So, she rolled over on the bed, rolled out of the quilt, and then, while undressing, she approached Felix.

"Apostle of...Tiger...gives you...morning's...greetings...

"Messenger of...er...quickly perform...purification ritual for...ah...

Heloise touched Felix's body in a daze. She hadn't woken up yet and was a little dazed, making it difficult for her to stand steady.

This gave Felix, who was in the middle of preparing potions, a big trouble - even if one drop more or less when preparing potions, the effect would have a huge difference.

"If you're still sleepy, just keep sleeping, Helolo. I'm busy here."

Felix used one arm to hold the two little troubles on Heloise's chest, and operated with only one hand — fancy moves, 10/10/

As long as I mix these two potions in a three-to-one ratio, I could free my hand... Just as Felix was thinking about this, when it rains, it pours, and there was a knock on the door outside.

"Good morning, Felix, this is Vanessa, can I come in?"
