“Ding-dong. In two minutes, someone will break into the host’s home and attempt to kidnap the host.”
“The triggered mission is a choice between two options.”
“Mission 1: Subdue the kidnapper and call the police, so they can investigate the person behind the kidnapping. No reward.”
“Mission 2: Pretend to be kidnapped and find the person truly behind it. Reward: 10,000 Humiliation Points and the special reward, [Mental Cultivation Technique].”
[Mental Cultivation Technique]: A method for cultivating mental power. Practice it over a long period, and you can improve your extraordinary mental-power attribute.
……
After reading the mission prompt,
Su Yun hesitated.
The reward for Mission 2 was far too tempting, especially the special reward, [Mental Cultivation Technique].
With this technique, not only could she become stronger, but the members of the Salvation Society could learn it too. It would be an enormous help in saving the world.
But… deliberately letting herself get kidnapped was just too embarrassing.
Especially since she was a girl now. Who knew what might happen after she was kidnapped…
“Ding-dong. One minute remains in the mission acceptance window. Host, please decide as soon as possible.”
55 seconds…
50 seconds…
Maybe she should just accept it?
She was strong, after all. With a little preparation, there shouldn’t be any problem.
With that thought, she checked how many Humiliation Points she had.
Humiliation Points: 740,000
Then she immediately opened the [Shop] and bought a pile of items at lightning speed.
[A-Rank Fire Ability] — 200,000 Humiliation Points
[C-Rank Poison Immunity Potion] — 10,000 Humiliation Points
[D-Rank Temporary Strength Potion] — 3,000 Humiliation Points
[C-Rank Temporary Mental Power Potion] — 10,000 Humiliation Points
[D-Rank Mental Power Recovery Potion] — 3,000 Humiliation Points
[D-Rank Temporary Agility Potion] — 3,000 Humiliation Points
……
After that shopping spree, she’d spent 230,000 Humiliation Points.
That was still manageable.
Besides, most of it had gone toward buying the A-Rank Fire Ability, which would help in future battles too.
It was worth mentioning that ordinary followers could only possess an ability of one attribute at a time.
But as the Divine Maiden, she wasn’t bound by that restriction.
So she had at least some abilities from every attribute.
She was quite well-rounded.
She had healing and enhancement abilities from the light attribute, as well as acceleration and support abilities from the wind attribute…
If it really came down to a fight,
even all the Salvation Society’s combatants together might not be a match for her, the Divine Maiden.
Once she’d learned the abilities, she drank the C-Rank Poison Immunity Potion, then put the other potions into the [Divine Maiden’s Bracelet], which had spatial storage.
She’d finished just in time.
“I confirm that I accept Mission 2.”
As the time to accept the mission counted down to zero, Su Yun accepted it just in time. Then she heard some noises outside her front door.
For the sake of the mission,
she couldn’t go over and stop the intruder.
She could only pretend to open her laptop and lie on the bed, watching the latest anime.
“Click.”
The sound of the door unlocking reached her ears, but she didn’t react.
After waiting a moment,
she sensed someone behind her. But to complete the mission, she still didn’t move.
“Mm—”
Suddenly, a hand pressed a cloth over her mouth and nose.
A pungent smell hit her.
It made her feel a little uncomfortable.
It was probably some kind of drug meant to knock her out.
Fortunately, thanks to the combined effects of the gene-optimization potion and the C-Rank Poison Immunity Potion, she didn’t feel any ill effects beyond the unpleasant smell.
But to complete the mission, she had to close her eyes and pretend to be unconscious.
After seeing Su Yun collapse unconscious,
the intruder made a phone call.
“Beep—”
“Young Master Ding, I got her. Where should I take this woman?” the man in black asked.
“Good. Take her to the usual place in Jianghai Garden. I’m going to have some fun tonight.”
The person on the other end continued, “Oh, and this woman is mine. Don’t you dare lay a finger on her. Got it?”
“Yes, Young Master Ding.”
……
Naturally, Su Yun heard all of this while pretending to be unconscious.
Young Master Ding?
Could someone have set their sights on her at the ball?
It looked like they wanted to… kidnap her for her looks.
That wouldn’t do.
Once she met the person behind it all and completed the mission, she’d make sure he learned his lesson.
After the man in black hung up,
Su Yun felt fabric brushing against her wrists.
Then she felt her hands being tied together behind her back.
She really was tied up…
How embarrassing.
Next, she felt her body lift off the ground for an instant, then someone slung her over their shoulder.
It was uncomfortable, but since she had to pretend to be unconscious, she couldn’t move.
After being jostled down twenty flights of stairs, they finally reached the ground floor.
Still tied up, Su Yun was tossed onto the back seat of a car.
The car started and drove off.
She was feeling a little nervous. Being taken somewhere unknown… Was this going to turn into some weird scenario?
It should be fine. She had abilities from every attribute, along with all kinds of potions.
Who could possibly bully her?
After a short drive, the car stopped, and the man in black slung her over his shoulder again.
Then they entered an enclosed space.
Still draped over his shoulder, Su Yun secretly opened her eyes to check her surroundings.
What she saw gave her quite a shock.
What on earth was all this…?
A little while later, she felt herself being taken into another room.
Then the man in black took her off his shoulder and tossed her straight onto the bed.
Fortunately, she’d heard the man in black talking to the person behind it all on the phone. He probably wouldn’t touch her.
Even so, the situation still made her very nervous.
She’d only just gotten home and hadn’t had time to change, so she was still wearing an off-the-shoulder dress. Her exposed chest and shoulders made her feel much less safe.
After waiting a while, the man in black came over.
He used a much thicker rope to tightly bind her hands behind her back.
The man in black still didn’t seem satisfied.
This place was right off the hallway. What if the woman woke up and screamed so loudly that the police came?
He had an idea.
Just as Su Yun was lying on the bed, calmly waiting for the mastermind to arrive so she could complete the mission,
she sensed a figure pass in front of her.
Then she felt something enter her mouth.
The man in black stuffed a silicone ball into Su Yun’s mouth, then secured it behind her head with an elastic strap.
After tying it in place, he took a moment to admire his handiwork.
“Damn, she’s so beautiful, right here in front of me, and I can’t touch her. Just looking at her has me worked up.”
But he thought of the huge sum of money he’d get for completing the job—enough to spend a long time with women—and managed to suppress the wicked thoughts in his heart.
As for the woman in front of him, she wasn’t someone he could afford to lay a hand on.
The man in black called his backer again to let him know to come over, then left.
……
Su Yun was sprawled carelessly across the bed, her two long, fair arms tightly bound behind her back.
Her breathtakingly beautiful face, with its red lips and pearly white teeth, was now gagged with a ball.
