I, the Weakest Human, Start with a Hundredfold Bonus Talent！ - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Chapter156-What System?
“Hahaha, don’t try to trick me into answering. I refuse to answer that question.”

John smiled wryly and shook his head. This was clearly not the answer Elaria wanted to hear, so she gently wrapped her arms around John’s neck and playfully insisted, “No cheating! Come on, tell me, what would you do?”

“My answer might disappoint you, but do you really want to hear it?”

“Yes, I want to know.”

“Alright… my answer is that I would unhesitatingly find the person who knows, and use any means necessary to get the information about the bomb from them, even if it means torturing or killing them. Actually, I’m no different from most people; I can’t think of a surprising method. They have reasons they can’t tell, and I have reasons I must survive. Would my answer disappoint you?”

Hearing this, Elaria was momentarily stunned, then she smiled and shook her head, gently cupping John’s face.

“No matter what happens, no matter what means you have to use, you must survive!”

…

The next morning!

John struggled to stand up from the desk, looking proudly at the list he had made.

“Honestly, if I could fully understand these questions, I’d be a great philosopher. Unfortunately, in this world, philosophy doesn’t seem to have much practical significance.”

John sighed deeply and then looked at Elaria, who was napping on the desk, feeling a warm sensation in his heart.

After carrying Elaria back to her room, John lost his desire to rest and went directly to find Elowen.

“Elowen, I’ve prepared what you asked for.”

“So early? Master John, you didn’t rest, did you?”

Elowen was momentarily stunned, then he took the list from John’s hand, glanced over it, and was shocked, “So much?”

“I need to give you enough time. I hope that by the time I return, the Elven tribe will have regained the prosperity it had three thousand years ago, under your leadership. I need to help you so you don’t bear the hopes of everyone alone.”

John patted Elowen’s shoulder, and these words deeply moved Elowen.

“Alright, don’t make that face. Now, send someone to gather everyone.”

“Now? Isn’t that a bit sudden?”

“That’s the point, to test their adaptability to sudden situations. If monsters invaded today, would they send you a notice in advance?”

“Master John, you have a point. I’ll go right away.”

Elowen shrugged, realizing that arguing with John was completely pointless because he could never win. He decisively abandoned the idea.

“Good, you’ve grown a bit more.”

John smiled in satisfaction and sat down on the steps, starting the timer.

The fifteen people were housed in temporary accommodations, with two people per room.

Since there were three girls, Meryl was placed with Alice, and after asking the third girl’s opinion, she also joined Meryl and Alice in their room.

Alice had no objections to this arrangement.

The accommodations were about a ten-minute walk from the palace, giving a total of twenty minutes for a round trip, which John excluded from the timing.

He wanted to see how long it would take for this group of youngsters to gather after being woken up.

After twenty-five minutes, four people arrived near the palace, including all three girls and an extra, Eden.

As members of Elowen’s personal guard, they naturally managed this simple task.

Over the next twenty-five minutes, others gradually arrived until only one person was missing: Babylon.

As someone John focused on, Babylon was placed in the same room as Eden for easier management. But with Eden already present, where was Babylon?

Thinking of this, John turned to Eden and asked, “Eden, was Babylon awake when you left?”

“Reporting to Lord John, he was not! I tried to wake him, but he wouldn’t budge, so I had to come first!”

“I understand. Elowen, go personally and bring that boy here. The rest of you stay and rest.”

“Yes!”

Seeing the others lounging around, John frowned but said nothing, simply waiting in silence.

After another half-hour, Elowen finally returned, carrying the struggling Babylon on his shoulder.

“Master John, I’ve brought him.”

Ignoring Babylon’s struggles, Elowen threw him in front of John.

“Heh, Babylon, you’ve got some nerve. I had to send someone twice to get you here. Tell me, what were you busy with?”

“Reporting to Lord John, I was busy sleeping…”

Babylon struggled to sit up, still looking like he hadn’t fully woken up, yawning repeatedly. Even Elowen felt a headache watching him.

“I appreciate your honesty, so I’ll be honest with you: you’re in big trouble, Babylon.”

“I understand, I accept the punishment.”

“Of course you do, because you have no choice. And it’s not just you; the other fourteen will be implicated because of you. As for the punishment, we’ll start with you.”

With that, John’s wings suddenly spread open behind him.

He grabbed Babylon by the collar and shot into the sky at an incredible speed.

Within moments, they broke through the clouds, becoming a small black dot!

Seeing this, everyone gasped in shock!

They had never seen John display such power before.

While they were astonished at John’s abilities, they also broke out in a cold sweat for themselves.

This… could kill someone, right?

As everyone’s minds were racing, a scream came from the sky, growing closer and closer. They finally saw what was happening in mid-air.

At that moment, Babylon was being used like a skateboard, with John stepping on him and plummeting downward at a terrifying speed.

In just three seconds, Babylon would have an intimate encounter with the ground!

For a moment, the crowd collectively gulped!

Of course, John wasn’t a demon.

He wouldn’t actually let Babylon crash to his death.

Just as Babylon was about to become a splatter on the ground, John’s wings flapped again, halting their descent.

On one side, there was Babylon, crying and screaming, and on the other, John, casually smiling and mocking.

One thought simultaneously occurred to everyone in the crowd.

Lord John… is like a devil!

“Alright, punishment’s over. You can rejoin the group.”

John, satisfied, clicked his tongue and casually tossed Babylon aside, then turned his gaze to the crowd.
