When an alien is bound to a world-saving system Chapter 25 part2

The next morning, the ten people who qualified for the mission boarded a minibus at the entrance of Yun Cheng. According to the deputy city lord Tang Shen, the city lord Xu Yun Cheng would be waiting for them at Qing Yuan town a few dozen kilometres away. With the other residents sending them off, the minibus then set off towards the north.

After they had just left the city gates, the Salvation Alliance saviours in the car stripped off their disguises one after another and started to chat. The power ability user whose arm had been broken by the black-haired youth took the lead and said to everyone:

“I am an A rank saviour of the Salvation Alliance. In fact, my ability is that I can turn into certain types of animals that possess a lot of attack power. Not only am I strong, I have also participated in more than a dozen salvation missions before. I've been in this zombie world for 4 years. What about you guys?” There was a hint of pride in his voice; perhaps it was because he had recently raised his rank, or because he was eager to earn back some of his face after having his arm broken by Xiao Yi.

5 of the other saviours also announced their ranks in turn. They were all A rank and had also carried out more than a dozen missions; one even said that they had completed several hundred missions. However, none of them revealed their specific abilities unlike the shapeshifter.

When it was Xu Yun Cheng's turn, he simply turned his head to look out the window and didn't say anything. Everyone assumed that this earth ability user who always loved to hide in his ‘tortoise shell' didn't like to talk to others. Aware of his privacy, they didn't ask again and instead shifted their gaze to the young woman Liu Ran who was sitting in the back.

Having been the one to start the conversation, the shapeshifter listened to everyone and realised that there actually wasn't anyone who had less experience than himself. Feeling a little disappointed, he then gazed hopefully at the young woman who looked very much like a newcomer.

“Liu Ran. S rank saviour, fire ability.”

The girl coldly spat out these words and then didn't say anything else.

A few of the saviours gasped in astonishment and looked at Liu Ran in awe. And that shapeshifter whose hope had once again been put out felt quite resentful. He then turned and provocatively said to the black-haired youth sitting in the very back:

“This kid should be the most powerful among us, right? Such peerless martial arts. Ze! Ze! During the match yesterday, you really beat us up and demolished everything in your path!”

The minibus suddenly quietened down. Although everyone wasn't familiar with each other, they also didn't specifically target the black-haired youth or try to oppress him. But neither did anyone speak up for the youth. They simply adopted a spectator's attitude and waited to see how this situation would develop.

However, the black-haired youth wasn't the slightest bit nervous. He directly said: “Let me correct you. My ability is the mutual transformation of organic matter, not martial arts. Xiao Yi, SS rank saviour.”

The provocative expression on that shapeshifter's face instantly froze. The other saviours were also shocked to hear that there was actually an SS rank god in the car! One after another, they put away their ‘just enjoying the show' attitudes.

Amongst them, the saviour who had said that he had carried out several hundred missions was a lot smoother at talking. After listening to the youth, he only froze for a moment before he readjusted his expression. Using an intimate but respectful tone, he then said to the black-haired youth:

“As an SS rank god, to actually appear in a small A rank mission world, you must have come here to rest during your vacation, right?”

The actually intention of this question was to ease to mood, and sure enough, with this saviour's lead, the stagnant atmosphere in the car instantly relaxed.

The black-haired youth: “No.”

“Hah?” The next words this smooth talking saviour was about to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.

The black-haired youth: “The reason why there are high ranking saviours in this world is a classified secret of the Alliance.”

The atmosphere that had just relaxed instantly froze again. Feeling like he had poked a big basket, the smooth talking saviour repeatedly apologised and assured that he had no intention of prying into Alliance secrets. He had only casually asked that question just then.

After the youth nodded, the man tactfully shut his mouth. The minibus once again sank into an awkward silence. However, in the black-haired youth's mind, 2d14's loud laughter was ringing nonstop:

[Hahahaha! Lord Host, you are too awesome! They are such snobs! Hahaha!]

The silence continued until they had travelled three quarters of the way, when that shapeshifter once again tried to find something to say:

“In a moment, we will arrive at Qing Yuan town and see the leader of Yun Cheng! Do you guys know? I heard that this city lord is one of the 9 legendary SSS rank gods! Yesterday, I saw in the official business section of the Salvation Alliance forum that his System 123 released a subordinate recruitment notice!” The shapeshifter said excitedly, seeming like he wanted to use this SSS rank god's name to pressure the black-haired youth and find back some face.

The black-haired youth however had a funny thought in his mind: Don't tell me that Xu Yun Cheng's subordinate Tang Shen really did suffer a psychological blow and couldn't continue to serve as his assistant? Or did he just want to expand his recruits?

“My past performance is pretty good. With a dozen missions, I was able to raise myself to A rank, so I also applied for that subordinate saviour position.” The shapeshifter proudly said. “However, I'm actually a little worried. That is an SSS rank god ah! He might be eccentric, or have some strange hobby, or be particularly strict! If by chance I am selected, wouldn't it be difficult to interact with him?”

While that shapeshifter was still flaunting, the black-haired youth's voice coldly sounded in the car:

“Isn't that eccentric big shot you just mentioned sitting on your left? Who don't you ask him yourself?”
