Chapter 270: Chapter 269 Task Execution
“You don’t understand, Suo Men,” said the woman named Mu Konni, addressing the man, “I don’t just want to become a woman or a man, that’s too dull for me. I’m not like you people. I’m 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 woman’s body suits best, but my original voice was the best. Combined, they make me who I am now.”
As Mu Konni spoke, she gently bit her onion-white fingers, exuding a myriad of charm, yet to everyone’s 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, “Let’s talk about the mission instead. You should be aware of this mission, shouldn’t you?”
“What’s there not to know? It’s just killing someone or something like that, all minor issues,” Mu Konni remarked with a magnetic male voice, her expression slightly petulant, “What I can’t 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?”
Suo Men’s eyes flickered, “You’re overthinking it. It’s 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.”
“Heh, I’m not afraid!” Mu Konni said, casting a flirtatious look at Suo Men, “I have you, don’t I, Suo Men?”
“What about me?” asked Suo Men.
“You are a powerful being,” Mu Konni said. “You killed the last Dragon in this world; what a great honor! Do you know what everyone quietly calls you behind your back—Dragon Slayer Suo Men. Ha ha, with the Dragon Slayer Suo Men here, why should I fear messing up?”
Suo Men kept a straight face and said slowly, “I 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 Dragon’s 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.”
“Ha ha, Suo Men, you are being modest,” said Mu Konni, then as if suddenly remembering something, she added, “Right, there’s another nickname people have for you behind your back—Tragic Death Suo Men—since, despite killing the Dragon, you died mysteriously once, ha ha.” By the end, Mu Konni was laughing so uncontrollably that she shook all over.
Suo Men’s expression darkened slightly, unsure whether Mu Konni was complimenting him or mocking him. Looking at Mu Konni, Suo Men said, “If that’s the case, then do people behind your back call you—gender-mixer Mu Konni?”
Mu Konni listened, a smile covering her face, and accepted it quite contentedly, “That’s not bad at all.”
Suo Men: “…”
After a moment of silence, Suo Men spoke, sincerely, “Alright, let’s discuss the mission’s details properly. You know the details of this mission, right?”
“I know, I know,” Mu Konni waved her hand impatiently, “Isn’t 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 don’t get it. It’s just a Hallucinogenic Potion, how bad can it be? It feels like we’re just soldiers catching thieves at this point, bothering with everything, annoying!”
Suo Men said gravely, “That’s no ordinary Hallucinogenic Potion, it’s Molotov’s Flower. This potion has caused chaos and even disrupted some organizational plans on several occasions in the past because it wasn’t 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.”
“Humph, I knew it, I will be worked to death sooner or later,” Mu Konni said angrily, caressing her body, “Look at my beautiful body, wouldn’t it be nice to just stop and enjoy life, instead of being forced into endless tasks, such hardship!”
“If you want to rest, if you want to enjoy life, then stop complaining and finish this mission. Then you’ll have time to rest, to enjoy life,” Suo Men said.
“Alright, alright.” Mu Konni spoke up, her demeanor suddenly that of a docile young lady, “What are you rushing for, I never said I wouldn’t do it. Alright, have you confirmed the target’s location?”
“Right beneath my feet, in the cellar,” said Suo Men.
“Then let’s go.”
“Alright.”
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 Konni’s face, stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether he was dreaming.
Then Mu Konni spoke, “Do I look good?”

It was a standard male voice.
The strong man shivered, startled by the bizarre contrast, and immediately awoke, showing a wary expression, questioning, “Who… who are you? What are you doing here?”
“What I’m here for, don’t you know?” Mu Konni countered, “Do I really need to spell it out?”
Strangely, upon hearing Mu Konni’s words, the strong man seemed to be provoked, his body trembling, his eyes widening, showing a slightly nervous expression, “You… I…”

“Don’t you really know? If so, I am very disappointed!” said Mu Konni.
The strong man’s demeanor shifted from nervousness to fear, his eyes widening even more, his body slightly trembling, his words becoming inarticulate, “I… I…”
