Hearing Dora's question, Gaia was also very happy. She spread her hands and said innocently:

"They came to provoke you first. Dora, you won't just sit back and wait for death when you meet someone who is looking for trouble, right?"

"Oh, this is acceptable, so how did they provoke Mr. Gaia?"

Without thinking, she nodded in agreement with Gaia's statement. Dora immediately walked towards the table where the group had been sitting before, sat down and called for others to come over.

Seeing that Dora accepted his statement, Gaia didn't talk nonsense. He followed the Demon Twins and Penk to the table and sat down. He began to tell how he was hindered by the Leopard Man's legs and how he accidentally broke the Leopard Man's bones.

, and finally warned the other orcs, but they still ignored him, so he had to defend himself.

"Oh, then I almost understand."

Nodding, Dora first stood up and pulled Spike, who was still in the same place, over and put him down. Then he stretched out his legs and sat on the chair without any image, and said with a smile:

"I guess the leopard man saw Mr. Gaia's bronze level and wanted to trip you up and make you look bad, and also blackmail you. But he didn't expect that Mr. Gaia, you are not an ordinary person. In the end, he stole the chicken and lost the rice.

.”

After thinking about it carefully, Gaia nodded sympathetically:

"That's a bit tragic, but since you have done something to risk your own death, you have to bear the price, right?"

Dora also nodded repeatedly to this, and Penke, who really couldn't stand it, forced himself into the conversation between the two:

"Ahem! In short, Mr. Gaia, we have two things that we need to discuss with you now. The first thing -"

Handing over the golden badge he took from Rayas, Penke looked helpless:

"President, she gave you the wrong badge. Your real explorer level should be gold instead of brass. I would like to express my apology to you on behalf of the president."

Reaching out to take the badge, Gaia knew just by the feel of it that it was not on the same level as his previous brass badge. It was delicate in hand, and the weight and texture were completely different.

But Gaia had no intention of holding on to this matter, and instead happily accepted the badge:

"This kind of thing is all right. By the way, you won't take away this brass badge, right? I'll still want to use it to tease others and stage a show like a pig eating a tiger."

"

When Dora and the Demon Twins heard what Gaia said, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they seemed to be very moved, while Penk reached out and held Dora's shoulders:

"Well... the president didn't say she wanted to take the badge back, and she probably doesn't have time to care about it now. Mr. Gaia, you can keep it for now, and then return it to her when the president remembers it. Just

but……"

After careful consideration of the words, Peng Ke persuaded with a wry smile:

"It's okay to deliberately show weakness and torment others when it comes to today's gangsters or bandits, but it's not a good behavior to cause fights for no reason, both for you and for you.

"

Sensing Penke's stern gaze, Dora and the Demon Twins both shrank their necks and started laughing in an attempt to get away with it:

"Penke, what are you talking about? We are all so old, how can we be interested in such things? Are you right, Miramichi?"

"Yes, yes."

"And we are,"

"Crystal level explorer team!"

"There will be no blind people,"

"How dare you come and provoke us!"

Looking at the three little ones with their chests raised proudly, Penke really didn't want to say anything more, so he turned his head and continued talking to Gaia:

"As for the second thing, we happen to be taking on the next mission to go to the central area of ​​the Black Forest, near the Tower of Babel to explore the cause of the anomaly. Since Mr. Gaia is so interested in that place, why not come with us?"

"Hey! Don't pretend you can't hear me, Penke!"

"It's just that, Miramichi is very unhappy!"

Generally speaking, normal people would give up when they see fit, but the Demon Twins continued to jump up and down in front of Punk and Gaia. Fortunately, before Punk could get angry, Dora stepped forward and dragged them away.

"Ah! Dora, what are you doing?"

"Mila Michi is talking about business!"

"Shut up! You two loli old ladies, don't you think so?!"

Automatically ignoring the fuss of the three short men, Gaia faced Penke, who had veins popping out on his temples. After thinking for a while, Gaia wanted to put it away:

"Maybe it's not good. After all, I don't know what level a gold-level explorer is and whether he is qualified to participate in the mission of your diamond-level explorer team, so..."

Realizing that Gaia seemed to have the intention of flying solo, Penk took the lead and didn't let him finish:

"No, no, no, Mr. Gaia, although the missions of the Explorers Association cannot be accepted by a single person, but with a team, cross-level missions within one level can be allowed. You are only one level lower than our crystal.

gold explorer, so participating in this mission is not a problem.”

Seemingly worried that Gaia would continue to refuse, Penke once again brought up the president to take the blame:

"And the president also agreed just now, and specifically asked us to help you to avoid unexpected situations."

It’s already unexpected that you let me get involved!

I had no choice but to complain in my heart, but Peng Ke had already talked about this, and if he tried to shirk it anymore, he would appear to be a little ignorant.

So, Gaia had no choice but to nod:

"Since Miss Penke is so kind, I have no choice but to accept it."

After hearing Gaia's words, Penke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now half of the tasks assigned by the president have been completed, which is gratifying.

Glancing at Penke opposite, Gaia's face remained calm.

Just now, the nanobots have deduced from Penke's facial micro-expressions, heart rate and breathing rate that she is hiding something. Although it is not a lie, it is much smarter than lying.

The best way to deceive is to tell the truth, but only part of it.

Despite this, Gaia is not worried that Dora's team will be detrimental to her.

She was introduced by Shamis in the first place. Although I was quite worried about her, it was still too far-fetched for the introduced team to harm me.

Secondly, it is probably the alcoholic president of the Explorers Association who told them something...

Thinking of this, Gaia subconsciously touched her nose.

It seems that there is still something questionable about his behavior, and the drunkard president who seems quite unreliable is actually not simple either.

Well, that's right. If you are really an alcoholic, how can you become the president of the Explorers Association?

As soon as he thought of this, the demon twins rushed forward and hugged Gaia's arms:

"Yeah! Big brother is coming too!"

“It’s so funny, so funny!”

"Na na, big brother,"

"Are you free tonight?"

For some reason, Gaia, who has no pores, suddenly felt a chill on her back.
