Chapter 270: Chapter 269 Task Execution Chapter 270: Chapter 269 Task Execution âYou donât understand, Suo Men,â said the woman named Mu Konni, addressing the man, âI donât just want to become a woman or a man, thatâs too dull for me. Iâm not like you people. Iâm after a certain beauty, a kind that intoxicates my inner self, which is why I keep switching bodies, becoming both a woman and a man.Finally, after many attempts, I decided that a womanâs body suits best, but my original voice was the best. Combined, they make me who I am now.â
As Mu Konni spoke, she gently bit her onion-white fingers, exuding a myriad of charm, yet to everyoneâs astonishment, her voice was male, making it exceptionally hard to accept.
Suo Men felt a surge of acid rise from his stomach, suppressing the urge to vomit, and changed the subject, âLetâs talk about the mission instead. You should be aware of this mission, shouldnât you?â
âWhatâs there not to know? Itâs just killing someone or something like that, all minor issues,â Mu Konni remarked with a magnetic male voice, her expression slightly petulant, âWhat I canât accept, though, is why are we assigned these minor tasks but not given the corresponding points? Hmph, is it because we are new transfers to this area, and they think they can treat us like slaves to be exploited at will?â
Suo Menâs eyes flickered, âYouâre overthinking it. Itâs probably because the higher-ups find it too bothersome to count points for a bunch of minor tasks. On the larger missions, I believe there will be compensation for us.
Besides, though minor tasks offer no points, we still need to be cautious. Who knows what kind of troublesome people we might encounter during a task. Not having points for tasks is bad enough, but messing up would be even worse.â
âHeh, Iâm not afraid!â Mu Konni said, casting a flirtatious look at Suo Men, âI have you, donât I, Suo Men?â
âWhat about me?â asked Suo Men.
âYou are a powerful being,â Mu Konni said. âYou killed the last Dragon in this world; what a great honor! Do you know what everyone quietly calls you behind your backâDragon Slayer Suo Men. Ha ha, with the Dragon Slayer Suo Men here, why should I fear messing up?â
Suo Men kept a straight face and said slowly, âI did kill the Dragon, but it was all thanks to learning and using a series of magic spells specialized for combating Giant Dragons, which reduced the Dragonâs strength by less than a third. Now that Dragons are extinct, those spells I learned are practically useless. In terms of strength, you and I are quite similar.â
âHa ha, Suo Men, you are being modest,â said Mu Konni, then as if suddenly remembering something, she added, âRight, thereâs another nickname people have for you behind your backâTragic Death Suo Menâsince, despite killing the Dragon, you died mysteriously once, ha ha.â By the end, Mu Konni was laughing so uncontrollably that she shook all over.
Suo Menâs expression darkened slightly, unsure whether Mu Konni was complimenting him or mocking him. Looking at Mu Konni, Suo Men said, âIf thatâs the case, then do people behind your back call youâgender-mixer Mu Konni?â
Mu Konni listened, a smile covering her face, and accepted it quite contentedly, âThatâs not bad at all.â
Suo Men: ââŠâ
After a moment of silence, Suo Men spoke, sincerely, âAlright, letâs discuss the missionâs details properly. You know the details of this mission, right?â
âI know, I know,â Mu Konni waved her hand impatiently, âIsnât it about some Hallucinogenic Potion that seems to be spreading in White Stone Tower, so they sent us to kill the Pharmacist before it spreads completely and destroy all the Hallucinogenic Potion?
Honestly, I just donât get it. Itâs just a Hallucinogenic Potion, how bad can it be? It feels like weâre just soldiers catching thieves at this point, bothering with everything, annoying!â
Suo Men said gravely, âThatâs no ordinary Hallucinogenic Potion, itâs Molotovâs Flower. This potion has caused chaos and even disrupted some organizational plans on several occasions in the past because it wasnât dealt with in time.
With East Coast making big moves, the organization does not want this to interfere, so naturally, it needs to be resolved. Apart from this, there are many other issues that need to be addressed.â
âHumph, I knew it, I will be worked to death sooner or later,â Mu Konni said angrily, caressing her body, âLook at my beautiful body, wouldnât it be nice to just stop and enjoy life, instead of being forced into endless tasks, such hardship!â
âIf you want to rest, if you want to enjoy life, then stop complaining and finish this mission. Then youâll have time to rest, to enjoy life,â Suo Men said.
âAlright, alright.â Mu Konni spoke up, her demeanor suddenly that of a docile young lady, âWhat are you rushing for, I never said I wouldnât do it. Alright, have you confirmed the targetâs location?â
âRight beneath my feet, in the cellar,â said Suo Men.
âThen letâs go.â
âAlright.â
As they spoke, the two stood up and walked toward the back of the tavern kitchen, like drunkards looking for a place to relieve themselves, attracting little attention.
They reached the back kitchen, walked straight to a room at the very back that stored ingredients, and lifted a plank from the floor to reveal a passage leading downward.
Entering the passage, they descended the stairs and soon came to a heavy wooden door.
A torch intended for illumination was inserted next to the wooden door, and in front of the door was a strong man, leaning against the wall and snoring heavily.
Suo Men and Mu Konni exchanged glances, and just as Suo Men was about to make a move, Mu Konni stopped him.
Mu Konni narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled, crouched down, and shook the strong man awake.
The strong man opened his sleepy eyes, confusedly staring at Mu Konniâs face, stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether he was dreaming.
Then Mu Konni spoke, âDo I look good?â
It was a standard male voice.
The strong man shivered, startled by the bizarre contrast, and immediately awoke, showing a wary expression, questioning, âWho⊠who are you? What are you doing here?â
âWhat Iâm here for, donât you know?â Mu Konni countered, âDo I really need to spell it out?â
Strangely, upon hearing Mu Konniâs words, the strong man seemed to be provoked, his body trembling, his eyes widening, showing a slightly nervous expression, âYou⊠IâŠâ

âDonât you really know? If so, I am very disappointed!â said Mu Konni.
The strong manâs demeanor shifted from nervousness to fear, his eyes widening even more, his body slightly trembling, his words becoming inarticulate, âI⊠IâŠâ
