Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1056: Mural

Burpe laughed heartily in response after being warmly hugged by Xu Feng.

"Did Burpe do good?" Burpe asked cheerfully.

"Of course, you did." Xu Feng nodded and glanced at him. "Are there more traps like this kind where you can retrieve their weapon?"

"There are, but they are very difficult to dismantle." Burpe nodded and explained the circumstance.

There were many traps scattered across, most of them were embedded and couldn’t be dismantled but some of them could be dismantled and retrieved.

In their usual routine, they would simply phase through all the physical objects to avoid the traps. But during their phasing, they could see the mechanisms that were built-in. This was the reason why Burpe was able to dismantle the traps.

"I see." Xu Feng now had a clearer picture of Burpe’s route in the sea dungeon.

"So what do you usually do, Burpe?" He asked in concern. It was hard for him to imagine how Burpe could live for so long in solitude.

"I stroll around and clean the area with the water," Burpe replied and glanced at the exit path occasionally. "I also roam outside this area, but the monsters are very scary. They all wanted to eliminate me, and nobody wanted to be my friend."

When Burpe finished their last words, their head was completely lowered, clearly a bit saddened by its failed effort to make friends.

"Fret not, I don’t have many friends either." Xu Feng comforted Burpe.

Burpe popped its small head up and stared at him with a mix of disbelief and doubt.

"It’s the truth." He laughed heartily in response.

"Just like you have those scary monsters, there are also scary people outside as well. I cannot befriend those scary people."

With Xu Feng wording his explanation in such a simple manner, Burpe quickly understood and raised its small hand to pat his chest. It was as if Burpe wanted to soothe him as well and tell him to not worry.

As both held the same kind of fate, Burpe seemed even more at ease next to Xu Feng. An action that he deliberately orchestrated to ensure their cooperation would be seamless.

Though it was indeed a fact that he didn’t have many friends. But unlike Burpe who clearly wished to have friends, Xu Feng didn’t wish for such things. He always allowed nature to take its course regarding friendship, one that didn’t involve any profits or schemes.

As a newfound relationship was made, Burpe excitedly followed along with Xu Feng’s instruction to dismantle all usable weapons.

It took a lot of time, but Xu Feng was willing to wait and praise Burpe occasionally. It started out as a manipulation, this part Xu Feng admitted he was a scum.

However, he had slowly come to like Burpe because the latter was very similar to him when he was all alone with nobody else to lean on.

In the end, Xu Feng made sure to order Burpe to prioritize his safety above all else.

"If a trap cannot be dismantled or there’s any danger, immediately return to the warship. I’ll blast all those who dare to harbor malicious intent toward you," Xu Feng said solemnly.

"Yes, I know~," Burpe said cheerfully. "Master Bea always warns me to return to her side if I encounter danger as well."

"Your Master is correct. Nothing is more important than your safety."

While the two gradually became companions and explored the sea dungeon with great enthusiasm, back at Haven Wind Town, things continued to escalate.

Haven Wind Town, Town Hall

"Guild Captain, we’ll need to increase some protocol for the town’s entrance." Blue Star arrived at the office and exclaimed.

"The current players waiting outside the town’s entrance are starting to become agitated. Some of them were willing to fork out 1 gold coin to enter, but our town is at max capacity." She continued.𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Behind Blue Star were her members of the Star Team. They all nodded their heads in agreement, their behavior exuded some exhaustion.

It was evident that to maintain order and stability, they had overexerted themselves and were forced to come to the office to request some action.

Veronica heard their concern and sighed softly. She also wanted to do something about the players outside who wished to enter the town, but there was only so much space available for accommodation.

"Guild Captain, I don’t know who spread the news, but many are protesting that we are being biased and following favoritism." Suddenly, Dark Night, the leader of the Night Team entered the office and reported in an infuriated tone.

"Biased and favoritism?" Startled and confused, Veronica was taken aback by this new form of protesting.

"When did we ever discriminate against anyone?" She slammed her palm at the desk. She had been fair to every player who sought to come to their town on a first come first serve.

How dare anyone accuse her of playing favors!

Seeing Veronica losing her cool, Dark Night pursed his lips and explained, "Some players who were lucky enough to join the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce slot received the benefit of being able to come to the town without needing to wait in line."

"So you suspect some of the members who joined leaked that news?" Blue Star chimed in and asked. Although Dark Night was quite vague in his explanation, nobody in the office was ignorant enough to not understand his implication.

Dark Night nodded his head and smiled bitterly. "Yes, that is correct. So now players outside are protesting that this is biased and favoritism to those who joined our chamber of commerce."

What made it difficult for them to resolve the issue was that these protesting players were all willing to throw money at them for that specific benefit.

In other words, they were future wealthy customers.

How could they possibly resort to violence or anything else that might cause them to flock somewhere else?

Just when Blue Star and Dark Night were pondering over the sticky situation, Veronica suddenly laughed loudly.

"Haha, so that’s what the protest was about?" She couldn’t believe that the protest was players arguing to give them money.
