"Thank you all for taking care of that demon today. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone from the Western Continent."

"It's nothing. Eliminating threats and ensuring social stability is everyone's responsibility."

Oh, Ms. Mary is using words that others can't understand again.

Shaking my head, I quickly finished the food in front of me and replenished all my depleted stamina.

Indeed, high-grade items are different. They instantly restore stamina and even have additional effects of HP and magic recovery acceleration.

Unfortunately, the duration is only 30 minutes, and such a dish cannot be stored in a ring. It's a pity.

If I could learn the recipe, I wonder if I could cook anytime. Buffs like this would be very useful.

"I'm really sorry. It's our college's negligence that such an incident happened when you were visiting from other academies. We will definitely strengthen the defense in this area, not only for your sake but also for the safety of our own students."

"That's great news."

You guys can continue talking nonsense to each other. I quietly opened the communication terminal and started chatting with others.

"You all should know about Shen Luo-chan, right?"

"Huh? Who is that?"

The response came from Bai Yueguang.

Come to think of it, I did meet Bai Yueguang after Shen Luo.

"Oh, she is also from our world, but due to her different race, she joined a strange killer organization. I guess she's currently on a mission outside."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm not as free as you guys, eating in the room. We're still waiting for the college president to come out so we can assassinate him."

"In that case, you can go have dinner. The college president of the School of Philosophy is level 78, so if your team members are not at least level 75, it's basically suicide. Plus, he knows formations, so it doesn't matter how many of you come, you're all going to die."

"Is your intel accurate?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Hey, how did you see his level... Could it be that you actually learned that useless ability..."

"That's not right. You guys should be the ones to learn it. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Now let's focus on this major mission. From what I've observed, this auction involves numerous tasks and events, including various murders, robberies, and even massacres. But on the other hand, the rewards and experience from these tasks should be significant. However..."

"But does this mean that our status and position in this world will change?"

Seeing the sender of this message, I looked up at Ms. Mary.

She was still chatting amiably with Mr. Du and managed to spare some attention for us. Amazing...

"Ms. Mary is right."

I agreed.

"While some of us may treat this world as a game, the problem now is that we have been living in this world for quite some time, and we don't even know if there is a way to return to our world. In other words... in the absence of a confirmed method to go back, we should consider how to survive in this world."

"I agree. I have been underestimating this world a bit, but recently... In any case, I think it's important to ensure our... um... righteous image!"

Spoken by Aliyah, the most violent among us, I didn't expect her to say these things. Impressive.

"That's for you guys. I'm an assassin myself, so it doesn't matter."

"Shen Luo, your chosen route is not wrong, but it is important for us to maintain a righteous image. You see, as beings in this world who cannot be killed, we are essentially parallel to gods. Though our abilities may not be on the same level, the accumulation of quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes..."

"Upgrade system? That's an interesting perspective," Taishi Xi, who had been silent all along, chimed in.

"But if this theory holds true, wouldn't our actions be seen as..."

"Taishi Xi!" I quickly cut off her words.

"We must not do anything unnecessary."

"Oh, you're right," she replied.

I covered the concept of "other people are watching in this world" regarding the supervision by dear World.

First, I did not want the existence of dear World to be exposed, and second, I couldn't predict if dear World would delete memories after being mentioned.

What I prevented Taishi Xi from saying was... our existence seems to be for the purpose of eliminating the gods and immortals in this world.

Moreover, the position of the Demon King has already been taken by someone in our world. I really have no idea what will happen next.

"In any case, the problem comes back to this: what exactly should we do? It's not a problem to eliminate a few villains, but what about the rest..."

"You mean those still on the wanted list?"

"Hey hey hey, I'm on the wanted list too."

"Then we'll add the title with 'Evil' in it."

"Ah, this is when the title system comes in handy, right?"

"And the rest?"

"Of course..."

I responded with a smile.

"If we can steal, then steal. If not, then let it go."

"Let it go?"

Bai Yueguang asked in confusion.

"Of course, I'm referring to the slaves. Are you planning to collect all of them?"

"Haha... alright, that's the plan then."

"It seems that our exchange this time will be very fruitful. I'm looking forward to it."

"Not at all, we are also very happy."

Meanwhile, on the other side, the discussion also came to an end, and it seemed that there were good results.

After Du Lao gave a summary speech, we exchanged greetings and left the restaurant.

Outside the door, it seemed that Shen Luo and his group, who had been lurking, had already left.

This could be considered as repayment for them giving up on the bounty for Bai Yueguang.

Speaking of which, I wonder how they would react if they found out that there was a bounty on me as well? Well, the amount doesn't matter anymore.

But now that we've established our goal, it's time to take action.

If the auction is tomorrow night...

"Let's engage in some post-dinner activities while the effects of the meal are still present," I turned to everyone and said.

"After all, we're all night owls, aren't we?"
