My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Give Me Your Clothes

“My goal is to conquer the labyrinth’s 100th floor. What’s wrong with that?” Watson asked, perplexed.

He was confused as to why Annie appeared shocked. It was not only Annie, but even Clyde and the others stopped in their tracks when they heard his comments.

“As an outsider, Young Master Watson, you may be unaware of how terrifying the underground maze’s 100th floor is. Even the City of Steel’s strongest Holy Sword adventurer team has only been to the 70th floor, let alone the other teams. It’s not a place any human would want to go,” Arthur stated.

They had almost died on the maze’s tenth floor. Would not they not only be courting death if they went to the 100th floor? Not to mention the monsters that attacked them. They would crumble if the creatures in the maze’s depths even blew air on them.

“I know that conquering the 100th floor will be challenging, but I have you guys, right?”

I will help you in increasing your strength. This way, you can help me when we get to the labyrinth,” Watson said with a smile.

He did not say anything about the fusion system. He could fuse any magical beasts in the maze that were weaker than him. He wanted to help increase their strength to boost their survival rate; he did not want them to die from any accident.

“Please pardon my candor, Young Master Watson. Regardless of how much we improve, the distance between our strength and the 100th level is not insignificant,” Clyde said helplessly.

The 100th floor was something that they did not even dare to dream about. Their greatest wish was to clear the 40th to 50th floor and obtain high-tier magical beast materials to sell. After all, in the 400 years of the existence of the maze, only the sword saint had cleared it. Apart from Christina, the swordmistress, no one would be able to clear the 100th floor.

Christina had the ability to clear it because she was powerful, and she had a strong team. Furthermore, they had more people, so they might have enough strength to do it.

“Young Master Watson, look. The Golden Quill Pavilion is not far ahead. Let’s take a break first and discuss that topic when we have time,” Annie said as she pointed to a courtyard in the distance with a golden canopy.

Additionally, she felt that Watson’s words at the time were somewhat implausible. Perhaps he was confused from a blow from Christina’s attack. He could rest at the Golden Quill Pavilion for a while. Maybe Watson would not say that after regaining his composure.

“Then let’s go to the Golden Quill Pavilion to rest first.”

Seeing that the people from the blood roses did not believe him, Watson did not continue speaking. He felt that facts spoke louder than words. He would personally prove to the people of the blood roses that what he said was true.

Watson stopped speaking when he realized that the folks from the Blood Rose team did not believe him. He believed that facts were more persuasive than words. He would personally demonstrate to them that his words were real.

The Golden Quill Pavilion stood in the heart of the City of Steel. It was unlike the majority of the city’s houses, which were entirely covered in solid metal. The pavilion had several courtyards, the majority of which were constructed entirely of wood. Besides the trees, there were also flower beds planted around them. A faint sound of water flowing could be heard there, and a soft golden rainbow had emerged in the air due to the water vapor reacting with sunlight. That was also the inspiration for the Golden Quill Pavilion’s name.

One could say that the Golden Quill Pavilion was the only quiet place in that energetic city frequented by adventurers with powerful auras.

“Hello guests, may I know if you want to enter the Golden Quill Pavilion? If so, please show me your identification tags.”

Instead of burly guards, two beautiful girls in long robes guarded the Golden Quill Pavilion. Their voices were like the spring breeze that could soothe one’s soul.

“I can only show you a part of my identification tags.” Annie coughed and pulled her collar wide open, revealing half of the golden identification tags on her back. A touch of gold entered the two maids’ eyes.

“Oh, a gold-tier adventurer. Please come in.”

The girl smiled warmly. Their initial professional smiles were to welcome the guests; the next one was from the bottom of their hearts.

After Annie showed her identity nameplate, they were led to the courtyard’s deepest part, a spacious pavilion with two floors, each five meters high. There were no windows on the second floor. The wind came from all directions of the ten-meter-high pavilion. It was a beautiful sight.

After all, a gold-tier adventurer was at the top of everyone’s list in the City of Steel.

After the maid led them into the Golden Quill Pavilion, she gave Watson and the others a brief introduction of the various things in the pavilion. Then, she left the room and said, “There are two most famous places in the Golden Quill Pavilion. One is the golden quill scenery in the sky, and the other is our hot spring! Our hot spring originates from an underground mineral vein, which contains rich energy elements. Not only can it eliminate fatigue, but it also has a great effect on cultivation. At the same time, a special maid will be at the hot spring to satisfy all the guests’ requirements.”

“All requirements? Does that include all services?”

Arthur, who was lying on a big soft bed, jumped up when he heard the maid’s words.

“Yes, sir. They will satisfy your every request.

The maid smiled meaningfully. Then, Arthur said before he rushed out, “Take me there.”

“I’ve fought in the underground city for a whole day today and even met with danger. My back is aching now. I should go and soak in the hot spring too! After all, that hot spring can help people improve their strength, and strength is essential to adventurers.”

After sitting in the room for a while, Clyde got up with a cough and pretended to leave the room solemnly.

Closely following behind him was Leon, who did not say much on the way. He quietly got up and walked out. In the end, before he could walk out, he was stopped by Annie.

Leon was close behind him, but he did not say anything. He rose and walked out quietly. Finally, Annie intervened and stopped him.

“Hey, Leon, where are you going?”

“I… I’m going to the toilet.”

“Really? Then how long will you be gone?”

“I have to say a prayer after that; so, about one to two hours.”

Then, Leon walked out of the room. In an instant, only Watson, Annie, and Denise remained in the spacious room.

Annie twisted her lips when her three male teammates vanished. “You may do that if you choose to do so. Why do you have to find excuses? As expected, men are all bad.”

She suddenly snapped back to her senses and quickly looked at Watson. “Young Master Watson, of course, I’m not talking about you. You’re different from them! By the way, Young Master Watson, do you want to take a shower too?”

“Perhaps later,” Watson replied with some embarrassment. He had wanted to experience the hot spring and the maids’ services. After all, Capella and Wendy were the ones who helped him take a shower at home. He wanted to see how the service there would compare to the service at home, but he was too embarrassed to go.

“Young Master Watson is different from ordinary men, indeed. You are powerful and have good manners. I heard that you are a noble from the border. If I stopped being an adventurer, can I be a maid in your mansion?” she asked tentatively.

She felt that Watson was so outstanding, and she also thought that he was the border count’s son. He might have high requirements for a maid. However, she did not expect Watson to say, “Of course, you are welcome at the border at any time.”

“Really? I thought I would need to have a certain level of strength to be your maid.”

A look of excitement appeared in Annie’s eyes. When Denise saw that, she shook her head discreetly; a girl would only have that light in her eyes when she was interested in someone.

“If you want to be my maid, there is a requirement for your strength, indeed. But don’t worry, I have a way to increase your strength quickly.”

“Really? This again, Young Master Watson?”

Annie’s face contorted with disbelief. How could there be such a good thing that could allow someone to improve their strength rapidly?

“You don’t believe me?” Watson smiled meaningfully and stretched his right hand toward Annie. “I’ll prove it to you now. But before that, you must give me your clothes.”

Annie was stunned for a few seconds before her face flushed red. She hugged her shoulders and moved backward. “Young Master Watson, you, you, you… What are you going to do to me?”
