Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Yino snorted coldly, walked up and opened the safe while saying indifferently, "Although the Northern Luo Snow Village is considered to be on the border of the Western Region and not part of the territory of the Eastern Dynasty, the Nine-Colored Deer is still an Eastern mythical species after all. How can you use the zodiac calendar from the Western Region to calculate its birthday?"

"Ah! That\'s right. The Nine-Colored Deer isn\'t a Western mythical creature..."

"Yes, so according to the local calendar of the snow village, the Divine Deer\'s birthday is July 13th. However, the same date, when converted to the calendar of the Great Dragon Dynasty, is April 7th, and April 7th corresponds to Aries in the Western Region\'s zodiac, so the Aries legend you heard before wasn\'t wrong either."

"!!!?"

Yino had completely started talking nonsense with a straight face.

In his previous life, when he was doing the snow village quest in the game, he initially thought this safe would be related to the Nine-Colored Deer\'s lucky numbers.

However, after studying it for a long time without figuring it out, Yino followed the clues bit by bit and turned the village chief\'s house upside down before finally finding the eldest son\'s birthday circled in red on the tattered calendar by the bedside table.

This absurd setting, Yino could only say it was ridiculous, but thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, this underground room was built by the village chief.

And as the saying goes, see through but don\'t say it out loud. Yino could pretend to know a lot about the Nine-Colored Deer\'s birthday, but he couldn\'t pretend to know a lot about the birthday of the village chief\'s eldest son in the snow village.

Now that he was reborn, he was too lazy to go through the process at the village chief\'s house again, so he simply went along with Yunjin\'s guess and gave a bunch of bullshit explanations.

"So that\'s how it is!"

Yunjin widened her eyes, looking at Yino with admiration. Obviously, this abstract but seemingly reasonable problem-solving approach had far exceeded Yunjin\'s imagination.

And just at this moment, the golden stigmata on the back of Yino\'s hand also became happy-

[Oh, oh, so that\'s how it is, hehe!]

-Wait, why did you believe it too?-

Yino held his forehead with one hand, feeling powerless to retort. He always felt that it was a pity that Yunjin and Wangxue, these two hidden dragons and crouching tigers, didn\'t get together.

In a way, it was right not to give Wangxue to Yunjin. After all, this silly girl was already naive and easy to deceive enough. If silly Wangxue was added to the mix, it would truly be a combination of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, kids.

"Alright, alright, let\'s quickly pack up the loot."

Yino couldn\'t be bothered to explain anymore. Wangxue and Yunjin could believe whatever they wanted.

But looking at the precious deer antlers filling the safe, Yunjin was a bit reluctant to take them: "But, but these are all the treasures that the villagers of the snow village have painstakingly preserved over many years of worshipping the Nine-Colored Divine Deer..."

"Don\'t worry about taking them. The people of the snow village have already met with misfortune. Leaving these things here would be a waste."

Yino said nonchalantly, casually picking up a bottle of deer antler powder and stuffing it into Yunjin\'s arms: "And we, as travelers who have come from afar, as investigators of the Immortal Alliance\'s mission, as wandering heroes who help the snow village investigate the truth behind their extermination and uphold justice... I believe the kind Divine Deer won\'t blame us.

On the contrary, the Divine Deer must also hope that we can make good use of her legacy!"

[What legacy! I\'m still alive!]

Wangxue was furious when she heard this and started bleating and making noise in Yino\'s ear again.

But Yino completely ignored her. While entering sweeping mode, he also stuffed Yunjin\'s arms full of precious medicinal materials.

"Oh, oh, so that\'s how it is..."

Yunjin listened to Yino\'s persuasion, her arms full of loot. For a moment, she was also a bit at a loss. After all, she had never seen so many expensive treasures piled up like a small mountain in her entire life.

At some point, Yino heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the underground room.

He sped up his automatic pickup, simply taking out his storage ring and sweeping all the items in the boxes in one go.

At the same time, Yino also noticed that Yunjin didn\'t have a storage ring and could only hold large and small bottles in her arms. Yino simply used his storage ring to collect Yunjin\'s share as well.

"Huh...?!"

Yunjin looked at the empty underground room, momentarily at a loss as she looked at Yino.

After finishing the looting, Yino put the storage ring back on his hand, then smiled faintly: "Don\'t worry. These are gifts bestowed upon us by the Divine Deer. I won\'t keep them all to myself. After we go back, I\'ll naturally give you half of them."

"No, I didn\'t mean to share the spoils..."

Yunjin\'s face became red. She actually wanted to ask if it was appropriate for the two of them to sweep up so many materials and if they should leave some for others.

But before Yunjin could open her mouth, she heard Yino raise a finger to his lips, his eyes also glancing meaningfully at the entrance of the underground room not far away, signaling Yunjin.

Tap tap tap...

During the quiet exchange of glances between the two, they heard several footsteps coming from outside the door, and they could even vaguely hear Chen Jianxin\'s disdainful complaints.

Yino took out a bottle of deer antler powder from behind him and handed it to Yunjin: .net

"This is the result of what we found today."

"This powder, ten Nine-Colored Deer antlers, after going through ten refining processes, can only be ground into this small bottle of purified powder... This is a rare treasure. We opened so many nested safes in the entire underground room of the Divine Deer Shrine, and in the end, we only found this small bottle."

"Okay~~??"

At the end, Yino smiled gently but also a bit scheming. This meaningful smile of coaxing a little girl, if paired with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, would also be like a psychopathic murderer in novels. For a moment, Yunjin seemed to understand something. She gasped, her blushed face from lying, but she still looked at Yino and nodded seriously.

"Don\'t worry, Yunjin understands!"

Bang--!!!

.....

.....

.....

"Damn it, this door seems to be locked from the inside!"

Chen Jianxin kicked the door of the underground room, but the steel door remained unmoved.

He thought of something and took two steps back, gesturing for the many disciples to make way.

"Sister Jinyue, you and the other disciples, step back and Watch me!"

Chen Jianxin drew the large sword from behind him, held it with both hands, and kept backing up to gather strength.

Jinyue held her forehead with one hand, also watching him with a bit of a headache.

She actually wanted to say, can\'t you be less proactive? If you keep struggling and still can\'t open it, it\'s better to honestly go to the back and follow…. if Jinyue herself took action, she would have broken through this door long ago.

But seeing Chen Jianxin already in this posture of gathering momentum, Jinyue could only watch helplessly now, not in a good position to interrupt.

"Ya--!"

The boy let out an angry roar and suddenly stepped forward.

But just at the moment when Chen Jianxin swung his sword, the locked door was suddenly kicked open from the inside.

Clang--!

With a dull impact sound, Chen Jianxin\'s forehead collided with the steel door, and he was slapped against the wall by the door panel.

Yino kicked the door against the wall with his foot, while also standing in front of the door and adjusting his clothes. Only then did he walk out from the room with a puzzled face, entering everyone\'s sight.

"What\'s going on? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"I just heard someone rudely kicking the door. I thought you were in a hurry to find me. Why are you all silent now?"

Yino raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at everyone with curiosity.

But everyone\'s gazes shifted slightly to the wall behind the door. Yino also looked back, and as the door panel kept pulling back, he saw the boy with a swollen forehead from the collision, still holding his sword, forcefully pressed against the wall.

Under the impact of the steel door, even the entire wall surface cracked and caved in.

Thud!

Chen Jianxin fell to the ground, his limbs trembling as he got up, glaring at Yino with angry, wide eyes.

"YINO! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE-!!! "
