Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4003 Genius
"This guy is born to be a playboy."

Looking at Edward who was like a fish in water among the girls, Angel couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately, Edward himself never regarded them as "delicate flowers" that needed to be cared for. In his eyes, these girls were all his clients.

Especially after learning that he could earn membership points by doing their hair, Edward wished that every member would come to him for a haircut, regardless of gender.

Ingres was too lazy to care about him and prepared to go find April 1st first.

However, just as he turned to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

"Angel: Edward, are you already a fashion wizard?"

After a moment, someone responded in the team chat.

"Edward's Hair Salon: Yes, yesterday when I was making a wig for Johnny, I was attacked by the Hair Beast. I fought nine exciting hair battles with it in the challenge space and successfully won the first blood!"

Angel: "..."

Laplace worked so hard to get the mission of Hairbeast, but Edward was attacked by Hairbeast?!

Is this the difference between genius and mediocrity?

As Angel was sighing, Gleipnir suddenly bubbled up.

"Astrology Granny: Actually, it's not just that. Laplace was right next to him at the time, and he wanted to take on the task and complete the Hairmon puzzle ahead of time. In the end, Edward only took 20 minutes to complete the challenge, winning nine games in nine."

"Edward's Hair Salon: Maybe it's because Hairmon's challenge is relatively easy?"

"Astrology Granny: ..."

You can tell whether the task is simple or not by looking at the countdown. The countdown for that challenge task is as long as twelve hours. Under normal circumstances, completing it in six hours is considered fast. Edward only took twenty minutes. This is no longer a question of fast or not, it is a monster!
"Astrology Granny: Also, yesterday after Edward completed Johnny's mission, he heard that there was a high probability of fashion monsters in the place where everyone first entered. He went back to look for it, and then he was attacked by a fashion monster again."

"Edward's Hair Salon: That's right. They were attacked by faceless monsters and asked me to design makeup for 100 people without makeup. If I were to do this task myself, it would be quite time-consuming. But they didn't let me do it. I could just use my imagination to do the makeup, which was much simpler and was completed in a few minutes."

"Astrology Granny: You are just an animal!"

“Angel: …”

Angell could understand Gleipnir's anger, because Gleipnir's first puzzle was the faceless monster. Angell still remembered that the task was called "Please let the glory drown me", and it was with his help that Gleipnir successfully completed the task...

It seemed like it took several hours.

On the other hand, Edward...

No wonder even Gleipnir couldn't control his cursing.

In fact, not to mention Gleipnir, even Angel felt shocked. Edward had just entered the Modern City for one day, and he conquered Laplace and Gleipnir's fashion monsters in succession, a hair-haired beast and a faceless monster. No matter who meets such a person, his heart will not be at peace.

Angel previously thought that he was already an "extraordinary" method when he used the God's perspective to cheat for others, but now that he saw Edward, he realized that he was still far from it.

"Angel: I shouldn't have started this topic. Let's end it here."

Angel decided to take the initiative to end this conversation.

He had just closed the team chat when he heard a scream from the container.

Angel turned around and saw Edward fainted in the arms of a young girl. Everyone else exclaimed in surprise.

Angel was speechless: "...Isn't this too outrageous?"

"Angel: Beast!"

"Astrology Granny: What's wrong? Didn't you end the topic?"

"Angel: As we speak, Edward has been targeted by the fashion monster again, and has now entered the challenge space."

Yes, although Angel had not yet approached Edward, he caught the fleeting glimpse of the fairyland power on his body.

"Astrology Granny: ...I'm going to close the team chat."

"Starworm: I shouldn't have opened the chat box today. I feel like I've been hurt a lot."

Even the diving starworms were blown out and bubbles appeared.

"Astrology Granny: By the way, I want to say one thing before closing the team chat... If Edward completes the challenge in just a few minutes, don't tell us. We don't want to hear it."

「Starworm: +1」

Angel silently closed the team chat.

At this time, there were already several people surrounding Edward, including April 1st and Karen, who had already passed by.

Karen glanced at Edward and said to the people around him, "Don't worry, he is most likely being targeted by a fashion monster, which is a good thing."

The worried girls breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Edward had only entered the challenge space.

At this time, Angel also walked to Edward's side.

When April 1st saw Ingres, his eyes widened and he wanted to say something.

But Angel quietly made a "hush" gesture to him, then squatted down and touched Edward.

The next second, all the tasks that Edward had experienced and the tasks that he could get involved in appeared in Angel's text column.

Angel just took a look at the mission Edward was currently undergoing and decided to give up on taking on the mission.

Because Edward encountered the "hairstyle beast" again!
This time, Hair Beast wants to compete with Edward in hair grabbing!

Edward was given a temporary "hairspray hand" that could automatically secrete hairspray. He was not allowed to use any other tools and could only use the hairspray hand to create perfectly suitable hairstyles for ten guests.

As long as eight guests are satisfied, the task is completed.

As soon as Angle saw this task, he knew that this was another blow to Edward's hands. The twelve-hour countdown was purely for show. It would not take long for Edward to complete this task.

Ingres was right.

Ten minutes later, while Calen was still evacuating the surrounding onlookers, Edward woke up and stretched.

"Girls, we just took a short nap, let's continue..." Edward had no sense at all that he had just completed a task. He stood up with a smile, ready to continue fighting with the client for three hundred rounds.

Not to mention Angel, even Caleen was stunned when he heard that Edward completed the challenge so quickly.

Only the girls around screamed with joy.

Edward, who was already very popular, was met with a group of red eyes at this time...

Angel originally wanted to complain about this beast in the team chat, but thinking of what Gleipnir had just said, he decided to forget it.

He shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to the animal, and walked aside with April 1st.

"Why are you here?"

Ingres and April 1st asked this question almost at the same time.

Angel: "I was originally a member of the Hermit Order..."

April 1st: "Huh? I was invited by a magician named Xiaolu yesterday, but I haven't decided whether to join..."

Because Angel asked Xiaolu to look for clues about the organization behind "Xindaya" and possible hidden dangers yesterday, Xiaolu went to Xindaya's former residence.

There, Xiaolu met April 1st.

When Xiaolu found out that April 1st was an unorganized "wild magician", she immediately invited April 1st on board without any hesitation.

In other words, the reason why April 1st was targeted by the Hermit Society was actually because of Ingres.

April 1st did not immediately agree to Xiaolu's request, mainly because he had already joined "Dream Mirror" and he felt that he should not join any other organization.

Xiaolu didn't know what April 1st was thinking, and just thought that he had concerns, so he said bluntly: As long as April 1st joined the Hermit Society, they would help April 1st investigate the situation behind Xidaya.

Simply put, Xiaolu plans to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only can you complete Angel's mission, but you can also catch the new fish April 1st.

April 1st still did not agree, but under Xiaolu's persuasion, he decided to come over today to check the situation.

After listening to April 1's story, Angel told him that he had commissioned the Hermits to investigate Xidaya, and then said, "You can join the Hermits, or even any other organization. It's your freedom. But don't forget that you are a member of Mengjing."

Angle also hopes that April 1st can be more organized, especially in reality.

In this way, you will have more resources to improve yourself.

April 1st nodded deeply: "I understand."

"April 1, Angel." At this time, a regular and clear voice sounded in their ears, "Are you here?"

They looked back and saw that it was Karen approaching.

Angel glanced at April 1st, who nodded in understanding, said hello to Kallain, and walked towards the container where Edward was.

After April 1st left, Karen asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"

Angel nodded: "All the tasks for Xidaya were entrusted by me. Do you think I know April 1st?"

Karen spread his left hand, clenched his right fist, and lightly hammered: "That's right. It's a good thing that you two know each other. I wonder if you are willing to take on the task of recruiting new members? There are membership points~"

Angell: "April 1st?"

Kalain nodded: "It's very rare for a magician to be living outside."

The reason why the Hermit Order mobilized all its forces to play the role of Ingres was because Ingres was a magician without any organizational background.

This is the kind of person the Hermit Society wants to recruit the most.

Angel: "Sure, just send the membership points directly to me later."

Karen smiled: "So you have already done some counseling for April 1st?"

Angel: “You could say that.”

In other words, even if Kalain did not issue a recruitment task, he would still join the Hermit Order after April 1st.

After realizing this, Karen did not deny his obligation. As for Angel, a special member, both he and the president had the same attitude: they must build a good relationship with Angel so that he would develop a bond with the hermit.

The reason for all this is naturally related to the special ability of "Golden Scissors".

This ability... can be said to be the most valuable auxiliary ability, unmatched!

Having Angel in the Hermit Order is equivalent to bringing an invisible advantage to the Hermit Order. This advantage is top-notch whether it is used in recruiting people or making external profits.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in allocating some membership points to Angel, or even giving Angel membership points for free.

……

As the powerful singing sounded, the welcome party was announced to start.

Whether those who are having a drink on the first floor or socializing on the second floor, now everyone goes to the third floor of the Iron Box Tavern.

The third floor is a completely open hall.

Various foods were placed on the edges and in the middle was the stage. When Ingres came up, there were already quite a few people on the stage twisting their bodies to Qingman's music.

After a while, President Lira came down from the fourth floor with the top leaders of the Hermit Order.

These included the Little Witch, Little Green, Kallain, and a few fashionable monsters floating behind them.

The stage was cleared and handed over to the top leaders of the hermit society.

Lila picked up the microphone and faced the newcomers around him, starting to introduce the senior executives to them and also some of their abilities.

From time to time, people would demonstrate, causing new members to exclaim in surprise.

Angel was also mixed in the crowd at this time, and his eyes first looked at the little witch wearing a Lolita puffy skirt on the stage.

"Estella Cecilia."

This was the real name of the little witch that Angel got from Karen through hypnosis in the hermit society last time.

After learning the little witch's name, Angel saw her NPC information.

However, the text message Angel saw before was: "Contacting Estella Cecilia may trigger the side quest "Blood of the Witch (currently unavailable)"."

But now, the words "cannot be completed at this time" have disappeared.

If nothing unexpected happens, the quest "Blood of the Witch" should be related to the Dark Corner. Now that the door to the Dark Corner has been opened by him, this quest can be accepted.

But Angel currently has a lot of tasks to do, and he is not ready to enter the dark corner in a short time, so he is not in a hurry to take this task.

Taking his eyes away from the little witch, Angel looked at the real leader of the Hermit Society: President Lira.

Lila is a fairly mature woman.

Short curly hair that reaches the ears, paired with a soft gauze long skirt and mature makeup, has an intellectual beauty.

Although he had seen Lira through a god's eye view yesterday, seeing from a god's eye view and seeing with one's own eyes are two different things after all.

"lira"

"She is the adopted daughter of Cecilia's family and the real leader of the Hermit Order. She used to be the brightest gem of the Jewel Family, but now she is full of energy and only wants to build the Hermit Order and fight back to the City of Desire. But before she can fulfill her long-cherished wish, she must first raise her beloved sister for the future of the family and for her promise to her mother."

"Contact Lila and you may trigger the side quest "Blood of the Witch"."

Angel was not surprised that Lila had her own NPC information. It would be strange for a powerful magician to have no story behind him.

What surprised Angel was that the side quests that Lila and the little witch were responsible for were actually the same?
