I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 39: (Including 9.0k Nutrient Solution Bonus) ^^...

Chapter 39: (Including 9.0k Nutrient Solution Bonus) ^^…

It’s not that Clown wants to protect his dear friend—Clown also wants to kill Clown’s dear friend. It’s just that [Rats in the House of the Dead] has never had a clear base, so Clown can’t help Yunxi raid their headquarters!

As for the [Clock Tower Attendants]… they didn’t send anyone at all. They just joined the bounty on White Tiger posted by [Rats in the House of the Dead] and [The Guild]
Gogol blinked, Even if they sent people, their Transcendents wouldn’t easily mobilize
Yunxi clicked his tongue, [The Guild] is enough then. I’ve long heard American organizations are swimming in wealth, and [The Guild] is especially rich!

Gogol wanted to say more, but Yunxi had already pulled up all the available intelligence on [The Guild].

When his eyes fell on a particular entry, Yunxi lit up: Oh my god Korya, look! [The Guild] even has the White Whale. Isn’t this literally heaven-sent for us?

No choice then Korya. We’re going today—bring Sigma along. Let’s go inspect what should have rightfully belonged to the Savior all along!

North America, territory belonging to [The Guild].

Since [The Guild] had taken most of their powerful Espers and brilliant strategists to Yokohama, the defense was severely lacking. Yunxi easily subdued [The Guild]’s ordinary members.

The Americans: …

With fireballs pointed at their faces and getting slapped with them if they disobeyed, how could they possibly refuse?!

And hey! If you really like us, move those fireballs away!!!

After achieving his initial goal, Yunxi left Sigma and Gogol there temporarily.

Gogol: Clown will protect Sigma-kun!

Yunxi didn’t notice Sigma’s terrified expression when Gogol clamped a hand on his shoulder. He directly used [Scales of Fate] to exchange identities with one of [The Guild]’s senior members present and left.

Yunxi found the handful of Espers [The Guild] hadn’t yet sent to Yokohama.

This group didn’t seem aware of the turmoil outside. They were gathered discussing something, but Yunxi didn’t approach immediately.

After eavesdropping long enough to confirm they weren’t paying attention to the White Whale outside, Yunxi began frantically using [Scales of Fate] on the White Whale.

Exchange the entire White Whale! [Failed]! Exchange 1/2 White Whale! [This item cannot be exchanged through such means]! Exchange…

The more Yunxi tried, the more anxious he became, his movements growing increasingly obvious.

It was then that an old man with white hair slowly approached Yunxi from behind.

Sir? Are you using your Special ability on the White Whale? he suddenly spoke.

Startled, Yunxi grew even more nervous when he realized this was the White Whale’s original owner, Herman Melville. His hand trembled involuntarily, automatically placing [White Whale Main Body] on the scale.

Yunxi: !

Mechanical components that didn’t originally belong to the White Whale began clattering down. The [Guild] members who’d been inside instantly rushed out.

But Yunxi had already obtained what he wanted. Not only was he completely unafraid—he even started taunting them:

Exactly! I’m using my special ability on the White Whale! So what? What are you going to do about it?

Hermann stared blankly at the White Whale, not responding.

If I can strip the White Whale of its weapons in an instant, I can make you lose everything just as quickly! If you know what’s good for you, become my subordinate now, and I might reluctantly allow you to follow me..
Hermann was so agitated his hands trembled: I’m willing
Yunxi: ?

Hermann looked at the White Whale, no longer burdened by machinery and finally able to frolic freely in the sky, and firmly repeated: I’m willing to work for you
The other Guild espers present finally snapped out of their daze and realized what Hermann had said.

They wanted to say Hermann had gone mad, that Master Fitzgerald would never let him get away with this when he returned, but Hermann continued:

Mr. Yunxi, do you know about Master Fitzgerald’s wife?

Others: ???

Was Hermann actually planning to have this young man threaten Master Fitzgerald using Mrs. Zelda?

Damn damn damn this old man has truly lost his mind!!!

In reality, Hermann had no intention of having Yunxi take Zelda hostage.

He did hold grievances against [The Guild], but he would never go that far.

He mentioned Zelda only because he thought if Yunxi could heal Zelda using methods similar to how he treated the White Whale, then Yunxi would have an easier time taking over [The Guild] without forming a deadly feud with Fitzgerald.

Yunxi, as a leader, prided himself on being open to advice. After briefly demonstrating his Transcendent-level power to intimidate everyone present, he waited for Gogol and Sigma to finish their tasks and join them. Then, under Hermann’s guidance and with the nervous escort of other Guild members, they arrived at Zelda’s hospital room.

Zelda’s illness was psychological – she refused to accept the fact that her daughter had died in a plane crash and chose to immerse herself in illusions.

For Yunxi, the procedure was simple, just like when he had treated Shibusawa Tatsuhiko before.

However, to avoid any further accidents, Yunxi added an after-sales service for Zelda.

So when Zelda first opened her eyes, what she heard from the unfamiliar young man was:

And the unfamiliar young man’s words: No objections allowed! A divine child like Sigma would be kept for ourselves no matter which litter he came from! You’re getting an incredible bargain this time!

Zelda: ?

Zelda sat up dazedly, taking in the black-haired youth who had just spoken, the group of Fitzgerald’s subordinates with strange expressions, a handsome young man with white-and-purple hair who looked so embarrassed he might burrow into the ground any second, and a headless clown whose body kept twitching as if laughing.

Though the scene was bizarre, it seemed to be reality.

Zelda: Huh?* Fortunately, Zelda was already awake. When faced with Sigma being pushed toward her, she quickly collected herself and gave a clear refusal.

Then, with guidance from what were originally Fitzgerald’s subordinates, she gradually came to accept the fact of her daughter’s death.

If she didn’t accept it, that young man threatened to impose some obsession from Shibusawa Tatsuhiko on her and then steal another Japanese youth named Nakajima Atsushi to be her son!

She did miss her daughter terribly, but the idea of raising unfamiliar young men obtained through such means was simply unacceptable!

After handling these matters, Zelda finally had time to learn about what had happened during her period of poor mental state.

This naturally included Fitzgerald’s plan to destroy all of Yokohama, obtain the Book, resurrect his daughter, and cure her illness.

This part was told to Zelda by Yunxi.

After hearing it, Zelda truly didn’t know what to say about Fitzgerald.

But she strongly agreed with Yunxi’s perspective.

The Guild launching a direct assault on an entire city was not only morally unjustifiable but also demonstrated a complete lack of strategic thinking in avoiding strongholds and striking weak points. Moreover, taking so many people along completely ignored cost control—especially when the existence of the Book remained uncertain… Fitzgerald’s plan was utterly foolish!

Why did she ever marry someone like that???

Zelda couldn’t understand her past self. She wanted to stop Fitzgerald, but she knew her physical condition hadn’t fully recovered, making a quick trip to Yokohama unrealistic. Attempting to persuade him through online communication also didn’t guarantee success.

In the end, Zelda chose to help Yunxi.

As long as she transferred all of Fitzgerald’s assets in advance, his plan would come to a halt!

After all, if Fitzgerald failed, these funds would be depleted anyway—what harm was there in giving them to Yunxi early?

Upon learning of this, Gogol and Sigma: ???

Wait, Yunxi’s plan actually worked???

With Zelda’s assistance, Yunxi’s transfer of the Guild’s assets accelerated rapidly. Apart from a few large, immovable industries, nearly everything else was liquidated by the two.

Not only that, Zelda also reported all of Fitzgerald’s cards under her management as lost, securing the funds for herself before letting Yunxi take them as he pleased—after all, Fitzgerald could always earn more.

Yunxi initially: So much money, and he can still earn it back… Sometimes the Savior really wants to fight these rich people!

But in the following days, Yunxi consistently visited Zelda, using the Scales of Fate. Each time, he bet everything—first taking a large sum of money, then two large sums, followed by four, eight, sixteen…

In this terrifyingly efficient manner, Yunxi effortlessly acquired a massive amount of clean money.

On the final day, after leaving Zelda and returning to the base, Yunxi mused: I’ve become rich too… That’s great. From today on, I’ll order everyone not to fight the rich—only to offer them combos!

Gogol burst out laughing, while Sigma carefully stepped around him—who was tossing gold bars instead of his usual colored balls—and handed Yunxi a glass of water.

Noticing the person in his arms flicker before transforming into the Clown, Yunxi: ?

What just happened?

Never mind! Hugging the Clown is fine too—anyway, the player gets to enjoy soft white fur again!

Nearby, Sigma: …

He stole a few extra glances at Gogol, who grinned back at him, making Sigma tense up immediately as he prepared to leave.

But Yunxi stopped him in time: Wait, Sigma, don’t rest yet. Pack your things—we’re moving somewhere else tonight
Sigma and Yunxi stared at each other in confusion. Suddenly, Sigma realized something, his eyes widening: Yunxi, are you finally planning to move somewhere more suitable for human habitation?!

Yunxi: …?

What kind of nonsense is this? What nonsense!

It’s not like the basement is completely unfit for human living, right? It’s cheap and safe—others wouldn’t even get Yunxi’s permission to live there!

Unfortunately, Yunxi’s rebuttals only earned him perfunctory responses from Gogol and Sigma.

Regardless, all three of them ended up staying in a five-star hotel, and life began to feel more civilized.

Meanwhile, outside the game, Yunxi’s thesis defense date was approaching, and his advisor was summoning them more frequently.

Fortunately, Yunxi’s family was somewhat well-off. When he first started university, his parents had bought him a small apartment near campus. Otherwise, he would have been forced to return to the dormitory and temporarily bid farewell to his Holographic Pod.

On the final day before the official defense, the advisor called Yunxi and the others in his group to briefly go over the arrangements for the next day.

After discussing official matters, the advisor began inquiring about their job prospects.

When it came to careers, everyone else had already made plans and spoke enthusiastically about them. Only Yunxi stared blankly, unable to utter a word.

The advisor turned and saw this bright and obedient student who simply couldn’t find a job, and his heart swelled with compassion.

Is it hard to find work? It’s indeed tricky if you don’t want to work on construction sites. Here, let me recommend a few companies—they’re all major firms. If any interest you, I can put in a word…

Yunxi, who just wanted to be a content creator: ?

Yunxi wanted to decline, but considering the advisor’s good intentions and his own uncertainty about when his content creation career would take off, he obediently nodded. Thank you, Professor!

As soon as Yunxi returned home, the professor forwarded him numerous job postings.

Yunxi patiently went through them one by one, keeping a search engine open to look up any company that caught his interest.

Each company made Yunxi gasp in horror repeatedly. In the end, he scrambled back into the game in a panic.

Gogol, who was suddenly hugged by Yunxi: Little Yunxi, did something happen?

Yunxi kept frantically burying his face in his favorite white-haired companion to calm his nerves, offering no response.

After enough comforting, Yunxi’s fear subsided, leaving only negativity so intense that—if released in a cultivation world—it could sustain ten evil sword immortals.

Yunxi released Gogol, stood up, and said gravely, Korya, I’m going out for a bit
Gogol: ?

Didn’t Yunxi say yesterday that all transferable assets had been moved, and the remaining properties were too conspicuous to touch? What was he going out for now?

Besides, it was getting late. If Yunxi went out now, many office workers would probably be clocking out soon, right?

Gogol didn’t understand, but he chose to nod and follow.

Ten minutes later, Gogol watched as Yunxi stepped out of their base hotel, looked up expressionlessly at the sun, and said:

Shining all day long, still shining this late? Showing off, are you? Why don’t you go find a job instead of lazing around?

Gogol: Did the sun even do anything to offend Yunxi?

Louisa approached and asked, Master Fitzgerald, has something happened?

Fitzgerald: Nothing much, just that the money in my company’s account has decreased
Louisa was startled: Has something unexpected occurred in North America…?

Fitzgerald casually waved his hand: No, it’s just that the employees wanted a raise. Since they asked for it, I gave it to them
It was normal for employees to cause occasional trouble. Fitzgerald was quite satisfied that such a simple method could placate them.

Louisa frowned. She felt something was still off, but Fitzgerald didn’t give her a chance to speak.

Has the bounty for the ‘Man-Tiger’ been issued?

Louisa: Yes
Good. It seems the Guild now only needs to wait for the Yokohama mafia to willingly hand over the ‘Man-Tiger’. Fitzgerald took a pleased sip of the red wine beside him. That day should arrive soon, right?

Louisa remained silent, but her attitude clearly showed agreement.

However, unnoticed by either of them, a figure clad entirely in white—with only a glimpse of black combat gloves visible—stood expressionlessly at a high vantage point.

Heh. He let out a cold laugh. The Guild..
Through his earpiece came the voice of Edogawa Ranpo: So? Shibusawa-kun? Will you cooperate with the Armed Detective Agency?

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko’s figure gradually became enveloped in the white mist. Before disappearing, he gave his reply: I don’t need to cooperate with anyone
But he would indeed take action.

Yunxi-kun, who holds my obsession, is an exception. But aside from him, no one else is worthy of touching my sapphire
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko added, Fitzgerald, whose special ability is dull and whose person is foolish, is certainly no exception
Click. The earpiece was shattered by a storm generated by his special ability, cutting off the communication.

Edogawa Ranpo: Tch
The full power of the Guild should not be underestimated. Was this White Qilin being too arrogant?

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was indeed somewhat arrogant. If he were to confront the Guild in its normal state, he might suffer a significant setback.

But as the Guild continued their operations in Yokohama, they began to realize something was wrong.

First, they could no longer command the Guild’s White Whale.

The White Whale had initially been a special ability lifeform that only obeyed Herman Melville, but hadn’t it been modified?

Fitzgerald: Wasn’t the White Whale mechanized to over 70%? Why is it still disobedient?

Louisa: We asked, but Herman refused to tell the truth
Fitzgerald didn’t understand but wasn’t overly concerned.

Whether by using weapons to bomb the city or activating his own special ability, he had plenty of ways to destroy all of Yokohama.

Fitzgerald grew impatient: The weapons can’t be mobilized either? What are the people we left in North America doing?

Now, everyone in the Guild stationed in Yokohama realized that something had gone wrong in North America. But they had already arrived in Yokohama and issued a $7 billion bounty. With such high sunk costs, the Guild couldn’t simply retreat.

However, just as they managed to establish a maritime base near Yokohama and equip it with a handful of newly purchased weapons, Yokohama’s White Qilin came knocking once again.

Fitzgerald could have secured immediate victory if he managed to land a single punch on Bai Qilin himself.

But today, when Fitzgerald pulled out a bank card, held it between his fingers, and declared 500,000 dollars in a showy tone, he found his body completely unresponsive.

His card didn’t even contain 500,000 dollars.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko: Heh
Fitzgerald: ..

Faced with Bai Qilin’s casually launched attack and the rapidly spreading white mist, Fitzgerald retreated in disarray alongside the others.

Finally returning to the base, Fitzgerald immediately contacted the bank in North America at top speed, demanding to know what had happened to his bank card.

This dedicated manager was facing the fury of his top-tier client for the first time. Cold sweat poured from his forehead like a waterfall:

Mr. Fitzgerald, I’ve looked into it for you. Your card was reported lost by your wife. Due to the permissions you set for your wife back then, she has always been able to directly control your bank cards without your authorization, which is why the bank staff didn’t intervene…

Fitzgerald exploded in rage: Didn’t I tell you before I left that these specific cards were not to be touched? Even if—

Wait.

Fitzgerald grew excited: You saw Zelda? Are you sure it was Zelda? She’s alright?!

Dedicated manager: Our bank employs special espers capable of verifying client identities…

Fitzgerald: !!!

He had to go back! He needed to return right now!

Half an hour later, Fitzgerald left the waters near Yokohama with all members of the [Guild].

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko couldn’t be bothered to chase after this group whose special abilities were utterly uninteresting. He directly returned to the Supernatural Affairs Division and resumed his reclusive life designing dresses.

After all, he still didn’t want to see the White Tiger just yet. He’d deal with that after he’d mostly forgotten what the White Tiger looked like hairless.

The three major Yokohama organizations that had been monitoring the [Guild], along with [Rats in the House of the Dead] and [Clock Tower Attendant] members: ???

Seriously? The battle hadn’t even officially started, and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko already took the MVP?

Author’s note: Coo: Shibusawa Tatsuhiko got the MVP, Yunxi is the carried dog!

Yunxi: ???
