What if the Terrans really are saving the world?

Chapter 40: If the mission can be repeatedly completed using a bug...

Stella put her shoes on, pulled her skirt back up to her waist, and followed Terra out of the Adventurers' Hall.

Terra said on the street, "Let's build it here."

Then Stella saw Terra in the middle of the street, using blocks that looked like wood to create a small enclosure. The space inside was so small that the two low tables and chairs were stuck together, and a torch was stuck in the block above the chairs.

Terra stood beside the wooden frame, a large smiley face bubble appearing above her head: "Your house is finished."

Stella: "..."

Andrea 2, standing to the side, silently turned her gaze away. She felt her toes curl up in embarrassment.

Mana 1 followed her out of the guild. She looked at the wooden frame, then at the elf Andrea 2, her eyes revealing complex emotions.

Is this fairy lady not only a pervert who likes to call others "Mom," but also a scheming person who likes to tease others?

The light in Stella's eyes disappeared.

"That's not the kind of house I'm talking about."

She mechanically turned her head, looking at Terra, then at Andrea 2. How to put it... there seemed to be a hint of pity in her eyes: "Miss Elf, you and Terra didn't live in houses like this before, did you?"

Mana1 thought to herself, "Miss Andrea2 really is an exhibitionist."

He used Terra's words to expose his own fantasies, and as a result, he even had to live in a house that others could see right through.

Terra, however, seemed completely oblivious to Stella's disappointment.

He looked at the prison cell he had just built, his tone puzzled: "I've checked it all, and this frame already meets the criteria for a building."

Stella's heart skipped a beat when she saw the sad bubble above Terra's head. She remembered the painting that still hung in the union hall.

If Terra is unhappy, he might not take the painting back.

Thinking of this, Stella gritted her teeth. She took a deep breath, forced a stiff smile, and walked shakily toward the wooden frame.

She paused at the doorway for a moment, then stepped inside.

Stella sat down in the chair, raised her hands to her cheeks, mechanically made a peace sign, forced a smile as bright as possible, and said stiffly, "Great, I have a new house."

Smiley face bubbles reappeared above Terra's head. He seemed to genuinely believe Stella liked the house.

Seeing this, Stella quickly seized the opportunity and cautiously asked, "Can we take the painting back now?"

"Now that we have a house, we don't need to take the paintings back, right?"

Stella's heart sank.

We've come full circle again!

She was almost in tears: "Tara, please, please take the painting back. That painting really shouldn't be hanging in the guild hall..."

She felt a deep sense of powerlessness when talking to Terra.

Stella couldn't even feel genuine anger towards Terra because she felt Terra didn't seem to be really teasing her.

It's just that Terra's brain circuits are different from everyone else's.

This guy's brain...

ill!

Just then, Terra suddenly asked, "Is this considered a mission request?"

What does it mean?

Stella was taken aback, then her eyes lit up.

"Yes! Of course it counts!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Stella jumped up from her chair, rushed out of the wooden frame, and ran back to the Adventurers' Guild in a flurry of activity.

Terra followed her inside.

Inside the guild hall, some adventurers were still gathered around the controversial painting. They all cast curious glances at Stella as she rushed in.

Stella went straight to her workstation behind the counter. She stood still, straightened her back, and instantly switched to a standard business smile, saying in a sweet voice:

"Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild in Mi City. How can I help you?"

Then, before anyone could react, Stella darted to the other side of the counter. She lowered her voice and spoke in a slightly hurried tone:

"I need a quest! I specifically request Terra to remove the painting 'God, the Virgin is Pregnant, Who Did It!' from the guild hall!"

After saying that, she quickly ran back behind the counter, put on a friendly smile again, and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, please fill out this form."

She pushed a blank registration form to the edge of the counter.

Then, she ran outside the counter again, picked up a quill pen, and started filling out the form quickly.

After filling out the form, she ran back behind the counter, her smile unchanged: "Okay, miss, we have received your request. Please put on the exclamation mark headband in front of the task board."

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Stella ran to the quest bulletin board on the right side of the hall, opened a small wooden box next to it, took out a yellow wooden exclamation mark, put it on her head, and stood motionless in front of the quest board.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

The entire hall was completely silent.

Stella stood there for a while, and seeing that Terra was still standing there, she couldn't help but urge, "Terra, come and take the commission!"

Terra found it very interesting.

He walked up to Stella and, following the usual procedure for accepting a commission, opened Stella's interface and looked at the top of her head.

Sure enough, a new commission entry appeared in Stella's mission options.

Terra ran over, dug the painting down with a pickaxe, and handed it to Stella.

Stella looked at the painting that had suddenly appeared in her hand.

Wasn't this painting quite big when it was hanging on the wall? How come it's so small now?

But no matter what, the painting was finally taken down.

Stella let out a long sigh of relief. She removed the exclamation mark headdress from her head, a relieved smile spreading across her face.

"Thanks you."

She went back behind the counter, stamped the union's seal on the completed registration form, and wrote +10 in Terra's "Personal Contribution Record".

Finally, she opened the cash box under the counter, took out a small money bag, and handed it to Terra.

"This is your reward for completing the mission."

Terra took the money bag, opened it, and saw that it contained ten silver coins.

A smiley face bubble appeared above his head.

It turned out to be the case.

You can earn money by hanging paintings on the wall and then taking them down through commissioned tasks.

He walked to the wall and hung the painting up again.

Stella: "Huh?"

The smile on her face froze.

Terra turned around and looked at Stella, an expectant bubble appearing above her head: "Give me another mission."

Stella: "..."

*

What followed was an unforgettable moment for all the adventurers present.

Terra took the painting off the wall time and time again, and Stella issued commissions and paid for them time and time again.

Hang up, take down, entrust, pay.

Take it down, hang it up again, entrust it again, and get paid again.

Back and forth.

The elf had lost count of how many times this was repeated. She watched Stella's expression shift from collapse to despair to mechanical obedience, watched the smiley face bubbles constantly appearing above Terra's head, watched the painting move back and forth on the wall and in Stella's hands...

Andrea 2 sighed softly.

She didn't know how long this cycle would continue.

All she knew was that she had just received 90 silver coins as pocket money from Terra.
