Chapter 47

"What five-star super rookie?" The other three looked puzzled.

It wasn't their fault they didn't know. Although checking the evaluation of a rookie for a team didn't cost many survival points, it was still a significant amount if paid by an individual. Moreover, teams needed fresh blood, but lone wolves only needed to take care of themselves. No lone wolf would waste survival points on such things, nor would they care about what kind of rookies had entered the cycle space.

Therefore, even though Tang Cheng had become famous in various teams in Dongting, few lone wolves knew about him.

The ordinary youth looked at Tang Cheng in shock a few times before explaining to the others, "Before coming here, I heard from a friend I knew that this batch of rookies had a five-star rated individual, which stirred up all the teams in Dongting. Many teams offered generous conditions to recruit him, and some even said that if he could win a regional battle, they would make him the team leader... But for some reason, this five-star challenger didn't join any team."

At this point, his gaze turned to Tang Cheng again.

Originally, he didn't know about Tang Cheng's existence either, but a lone wolf friend of his had recently joined a team. Although the two good friends had parted ways, they still kept in touch after returning from the dungeon. It was from this friend that he heard about Tang Cheng.

Of course, at first, he didn't take it seriously. After all, whether it was a team or a five-star rookie, they were too far removed from him. He never imagined he would encounter this legendary super rookie so soon.

Seeing the four of them looking at him in shock and fear, Tang Cheng enjoyed the attention, feeling a sense of reverence. However, he still corrected them seriously, "Not a five-star super rookie, but a six-star super rookie. It's just that the cycle space doesn't have a rating higher than five stars, so I can only be classified as five-star. In reality, I am fundamentally different from those five-star scum."

With these words, the awe in the four of their hearts instantly disappeared, and they suddenly realized... Even if he were a five-star rookie, it wouldn't change the fact that this person's mind was already broken.

Then, the loli girl sighed, "Now I understand why our dungeon started so badly. It's clearly because of this five-star god in front of us."

"What does that have to do with me?"

The loli girl shook her head, "I don't know what it has to do with you, but I do know that ordinary people like us would never encounter such a bizarre dungeon. So, who else could cause this phenomenon except for you, this god?"

"Uh..." She made a lot of sense, and he couldn't argue.

Seeing the loli girl's matter-of-fact expression, Tang Cheng felt a sense of defeat for the first time. Indeed, such a special event could only be caused by someone special like him. Ordinary people couldn't do it even if they wanted to.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," the ordinary youth finally spoke, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere. "No matter who caused it, since we're already in this dungeon, we have to keep fighting. Although this dungeon is more dangerous than a normal one, the rewards are also greater."

"That's true," the idiot youth nodded in agreement. "Based on the giants I killed and the trainees I saved, we should get around 700 to 800 survival points after completing this task, and that's just for the first stage. If we can survive until the end, the total reward will be quite substantial."

"That's what they call the greater the danger, the greater the reward," the literary youth smiled. "But what I'm more concerned about now is where the eighth challenger is."

At this, the other three, except for Tang Cheng, frowned.

"Could it be... on the side of the giants?"

At this point, footsteps echoed from downstairs, and everyone instinctively stopped talking. Then, they saw the blonde girl, Historia, running up with a stack of gas canisters, saying, "Tang Cheng, and everyone else, the supply work is complete. Everyone is gathering and preparing to leave... here you go."

Seeing the girl holding the gas canisters with her small arms, the three youths felt a bit embarrassed. Although they had used this as an excuse to talk to Tang Cheng, it was a bit unfair to push such a task onto a young girl. They thanked her and took the canisters.

The loli girl pouted and whispered, "Pfft, just because she looks a bit better than the others, you all get so infatuated."

"We're just thanking her normally. Do you think everyone is as obsessed with anime as you? And if you're jealous, just say it. No need to beat around the bush."

"Do you want to die?"

The four of them bickered as they went downstairs.

On the other side, Tang Cheng put the gas canisters into his mobile gear and patted the girl's head, nodding. "Good job, you have the potential to be a good wife. My affection for you is now at 60. In a year or two, when your chest becomes fuller, you might be able to win my heart. Keep it up, don't give up!"

"Uh! I... I don't..." The girl blushed and was at a loss for words.

At this moment, the百合女 (lesbian girl) Ymir rushed over, slapping Tang Cheng's hand away. "I told you, don't touch my Historia, you pervert!"

"Come on, Historia, let this pervert die here." Without waiting for Historia to react, she quickly pulled the girl away.

With their departure, Tang Cheng was the only one left on the rooftop. At this moment, his face showed an unprecedented expression—serious, cautious, with eyes as sharp as an eagle. If anyone who knew him were here, they wouldn't believe Tang Cheng could have such an expression.

"The eighth challenger, I have a feeling there will be a lot of trouble... Although I don't need to think too much about it, if you're going to cause some boring trouble, well, well."

He smiled lightly, lifted his head, and his face returned to its usual calm and composed expression.

When Tang Cheng came out of the headquarters, most of the others had already left. Only a few, including Mikasa and Armin, were still standing on a nearby rooftop, looking in one direction. The ordinary youth and the loli girl were also nearby, probably to prevent any accidents at the last moment.

Tang Cheng flew over, but no one noticed him. When he landed on the rooftop, he saw the Armored Titan, having lost both arms, bite to death a Deviant Titan.

The Armored Titan had been incredibly brave in the previous battle, killing over thirty Titans, though the actual number was likely more. But now, he was at the end of his strength. After finally killing the Deviant Titan, his massive body slowly fell to the ground with a loud thud.

However, the group didn't leave. They seemed to be waiting for something, staring at the Titan's corpse with astonished eyes.

A moment later, as the Titan's corpse blackened and evaporated, a hole about half a person's width appeared at the back of its neck. Through the thick white smoke, they could vaguely see someone lying inside.

As the figure slowly sat up, everyone finally saw his true face.

Almost the moment he sat up, Mikasa ran down.

"Is that... Eren?"

"How is that possible! He was clearly..."

"What... What's going on?"

Everyone was shocked, unable to understand how Eren, who had been eaten by a Titan, could be inside the Titan's body.

"This isn't the time to be surprised," Tang Cheng walked past everyone to the front, sighing. "Lovers who were thought to be dead and could never meet again, reuniting in the most impossible place. This dramatic turn of events is almost like a Korean drama. Such a touching scene, you should at least shed a few tears, right?"

The loli girl immediately mocked him, "Then cry for us to see!"

Tang Cheng smiled awkwardly, "My nickname is 'No-Cry God Tang Jingyun.' It's a bit difficult for me to cry, but in this touching moment, I can provide a BGM for the young couple... cough, cough!"

As he spoke, Tang Cheng cleared his throat and put on a nostalgic expression, gazing affectionately at Mikasa's back as she ran to Eren...

As Mikasa ran, Tang Cheng's song echoed around, "You are the wind, I am the sand, entwined and wandering to the ends of the earth, la la la la, la la la la... la la, la la la la, la la la la... la... la la..."

What the hell! This guy is really singing?!

Hearing Tang Cheng's unrestrained singing, the ordinary youth and the loli girl were speechless.

And, you only know that one line, right? What about the rest of the lyrics? Are you using onomatopoeia because you can't remember the rest? If you can't sing, don't sing! You've ruined the atmosphere!

The ordinary youth ranted in his mind.

As for the others, their expressions were indescribable.
