Chapter 925: The State Of A Spare Tire
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“… Isn’t this a little too forceful?”
After looking at Ally’s letter, Wang Yu looked sympathetically at Simba.
The main gist of the letter could be summarised into the following points.
One: Ally and the City Lord were very loving. The intention was so that Simba wouldn’t overthink.
Two: Simba is a good man.
Three: The City Lord didn’t have the heart to cultivate because he was too busy serving the citizens. This was why he hadn’t been able to break through the limit of his job. She hopes that Simba the Divine Smith will use his Soul of the Gods to help the City Lord break through to the next realm.
Four: Simba is a good man so he will definitely help.
…
Initially, Wang Yu thought that the City Lord’s wife and Simba had something between them. Who knew that this was the actual situation?
Making a public display of affection with Simba and even asking him for help so shamelessly? Wasn’t this plain ridicule?
It was no wonder Simba would have an expression like that. Even an outsider like Wang Yu wasn’t able to stand it. He really sympathized with Simba.
“Ai…” Simba shook his head, “If it wasn’t for the fact that she had no other choice, she wouldn’t find me at all. After all, not many people in the world have the Soul of the Gods.”
“Oh, oh, oh, no wonder…” Wang Yu pretended to understand as he nodded his head, “What on earth is the Soul of the Gods?”
Simba replied, “It is the power of God. I am only a true divine smith because I have the Soul of the Gods. With this power, I can improve my forging realm as well as my job realm. Wylie’s cultivation is currently at the pinnacle of the human-type job. With the Soul of the Gods, he will be able to improve by a whole new level.”
“If you give him this plaything, what will happen to you?” Wang Yu asked.
“Without the Soul of the Gods, I will naturally not be a divine smith anymore,” Simba replied faintly.
Wang Yu exclaimed once more, “So are you saying that she wants you to sacrifice your status as a divine smith to help improve her husband’s realm?! This is too much!”
In order to help one person, she actually wanted to destroy another person. Such an act was simply ridiculously disgusting. It was true that Simba was a spare tire but no one should be treated like that.
“Ah… Don’t say that… I did promise her before.” Simba smiled as he said, “The pity is that as much as I want to help, I’ve already lost my Soul of the Gods.”
“Lost it?” Without knowing why, Wang Yu was actually rejoicing in his heart.
“Yes… Look at me now… Do I look like someone who can still carry a hammer? Presently, I am only an old drunkard with an undeserved reputation.” There was a lot of sadness in Simba’s voice.
This old fella was truly pitiful enough. One woman led to a total collapse… After losing his Soul of the Gods, his goddess even pleaded with him to help her husband. How can this not be some sort of karma?
Of course, women could never be the excuse for a man’s downfall. All in all, Ally might not be the sole reason for Simba’s pitiful state.
“I guess it’s okay to lose it…” Wang Yu stood up as if he was relieved from a burden.
Wang Yu was never okay with Ally’s act of sacrificing the life of a person who adored her dearly for her husband. Therefore, Wang Yu was actually feeling slightly better that he couldn’t continue this quest.
However, just when Wang Yu was about to leave, Simba suddenly asked, “Can you help me with something?”
“What can I help you with? Send her a rejection letter?” Wang Yu asked.
Simba replied, “There is no need for the letter. However, can you help me look for my Soul of the Gods and deliver it to her?”
<System Notification: You’ve activated hidden quest “Ally’s Hidden Worry” Second Stage “Old Blacksmith’s Wish”. Do you accept?>
“F*ck! Are you kidding me? Why are you like that?” When Wang Yu saw the notification, he couldn’t help but cry out.
Wang Yu really couldn’t imagine what was going on in Simba’s head. To think that he would give up anything and everything for a woman who didn’t even cherish him.
Simba shook his head and sighed, “I have no choice… This is what I owe her. Help me with this task, please… I live my life for her and if she is not happy, I…”
“Alright, alright…”
Simba was a boorish man so when he said something like that, Wang Yu felt chills all over his body. Therefore, he hurriedly disrupted his sentence and replied, “I promise you…”
After saying that, Wang Yu clicked on ‘Accept’.
<System Notification: You’ve accepted Hidden Quest “Ally’s Hidden Worry” Second Stage “Old Blacksmith’s Wish. Quest Grade S.>
Quest Background: Ally is someone who Simba really adored. Simba is willing to go through water and tread on fire for Ally. Ally’s husband, Wylie, is a renowned expert who hoped to break through the limits of a human expert. However, Wylie damaged his foundation when fighting with others many years ago. Therefore, if he wanted to break through the limit, he needed external help. It is rumoured that the Soul of the Gods could be used to improve his realm.
Quest Requirement: Help Ally look for Soul of the Gods 0/1.
“…”
Looking at the system notification, Wang Yu was not pleased at all. After all, Wang Yu was still the descendant of Simba so even if he wasn’t happy, he still had to complete the wish of this old man.
And there is still the reward…
“Speaking of which, where did you lose your Soul of the Gods?” Wang Yu questioned.
The entire <<REBIRTH>> was so huge so wasn’t finding something so small like fishing a needle from the sea?
“I have no idea too… I’ve asked you to look for it because I really think you’re capable enough,” Simba shook his head and expressed his opinions.
“I… How am I supposed to look for anything if you’re not planning to give me a single clue at all…” Wang Yu pouted his mouth as he controlled himself from cursing. He really wanted to cancel the quest at this very moment.
“Do you really bear to disappoint a poor old man like me?” Simba looked at Wang Yu with his pitiful face.
“Stop making yourself look more valuable! You’re just a lonely old dog to me!” Wang Yu despised.
Even though he said this, Wang Yu didn’t cancel the quest in the end because of Simba’s pathetic looking face as well as the thought of the quest reward.
Wang Yu was ready to treat it as though he was being filial to this old man. After all, he was this old man’s only disciple. This was how Wang Yu convinced himself.
“Alright, I have my own plan but I want to tell you something,” Wang Yu said as he stared into Simba’s eyes.
Simba replied, “What?”
Wang Yu acted like a holy saint as he replied, “I don’t know if an NPC like you can understand, but what I want to tell you is that you don’t owe Ally anything. In fact, she is the one who owes you quite a bit.”
After acting like a holy saint, Wang Yu walked off in an arrogant manner.
En, acting cool and leaving was indeed Wang Yu’s style of doing everything.
