Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 252

The kitchen became quiet, and the person on the chopping block hoarsely spoke, “Please, let me be free.”

Sheng Nuan paused, then walked over with her machete in hand, stopping in front of the person. “Can you give me some useful information? We’re not from here.”

The man was initially stunned, his throat emitting guttural sounds. Then, forcing himself, he said, “Don’t eat the meat here, whether it’s fish, octopus, or crabs. You shouldn’t eat any meat, especially human flesh… Otherwise, you’ll mutate and eventually become sea monsters… After dark, don’t make any noise. Those monsters can’t see in the dark, so they can only rely on their hearing…”

After a moment, the man took a deep breath, “The exit you’re looking for is on the top floor, but… you can’t go there…”

The man closed his eyes, his throat gurgling.

“Thank you,” Sheng Nuan whispered, then plunged her machete into his heart.

The man smiled one last time. “Thank you…”

Sheng Nuan withdrew her machete, turned, and walked toward the door. She listened carefully for a moment, then swung the door open and strode out.

She grabbed Ji Rong and hurried toward the deck, her stomach burning with hunger once again.

The others were also very hungry. Sheng Muyang’s steps became somewhat shaky as he glanced sideways at the wound on his arm… In just a short moment, the wound on his arm had turned dark green. The flesh around the edges appeared rotten, and his arm, along with half of his body, throbbed with excruciating pain.

Sheng Yue bit her lip, “Brother, are you okay?”

Sheng Muyang forced a smile, “I’m fine.”

After a moment, they reached the cabin door again… Sheng Nuan instructed the others to stay at the cabin door while she walked out alone with her machete.

Almost in the next instant, about ten meters ahead, at another cabin doorway, Chen Qingnan and his two companions, looking disheveled, emerged, escorting a man.

The man had his arms twisted behind his back, stumbling forward while smiling, “I didn’t lie to you, right? This is the deck. Can you let me go now?”

Sheng Nuan took a step forward, waved at Chen Qingnan, then made a silent gesture to hush him.

Chen Qingnan’s eyes lit up, and the three of them brought the man over…

“We caught him in the cabin. He claims to be a small boss from the second floor who came down to the first floor to recruit workers. He’s the one who led us to the deck, saying it would be safer up here,” Chen Qingnan said, giving the red-haired man a shove.

The man had an evil, sinister smile. He glanced at Sheng Nuan, then at the people behind her, and asked them, “Are you pirates?”

Sheng Nuan didn’t say a word and stepped forward, then… ripped off the man’s clothes.

Ji Rong slightly frowned, took a step forward, and said coquettishly, “Nuan Nuan, what are you doing? Why do you want his smelly clothes…?”

In the next instant, Sheng Nuan, having just ripped off the man’s clothes, kicked him out violently. Almost simultaneously, the man suddenly screamed, as if he were insane.

Chen Qingnan had already seen Sheng Nuan’s gesture, quickly leading Lin Ya and Gao Feng to rush into the cabin…

At the same moment they stormed into the cabin, several dark shadows suddenly surged from the sea, lightning-fast as they lunged toward them. Two of them grabbed the red-headed man, yanking him violently, then fighting over him as they tore, bite, and devour him whole.

Sheng Nuan retreated back into the cabin with Ji Rong, walking inside while saying to Chen Qingnan, “Do you know why he wanted to bring you all to the deck?”

Chen Qingnan’s face turned ashen, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

If they hadn’t encountered Sheng Nuan, the three of them would have been surrounded by those dark green monsters. They would have truly been done for…

Sheng Nuan walked forward while advising Chen Qingnan and the others, “Don’t eat any meat on the ship. Eating it will turn you into monsters. After dark, don’t make any noise. Also, the exit we’re looking for should be on the top floor.”

Chen Qingnan was shocked that in such a short time, they hadn’t even figured out the route, but Sheng Nuan had already gathered so much information. Then he heard Sheng Nuan say again, “We need to get upstairs as quickly as possible. If something happens and we get separated, meet up at the staircase on the second floor…”

Chen Qingnan nodded quietly, then pressed his stomach.

He was very hungry, and his stomach burned slightly… The others weren’t much better off.

Sheng Nuan walked a few steps, saw that some of them were starting to falter, then took out those two small packs of biscuits from her bag, opened them, and distributed them to everyone.

She didn’t want any of them to become a burden…

Chen Qingnan refused, “I can hold out. You eat. We still need to rely on you.”

Lin Ya and Gao Feng also declined.

Sheng Nuan insisted, handing them the biscuits, then turned around.

After walking a few steps, footsteps sounded again from ahead… The group immediately snapped to attention, ready to run. But at that moment, they saw Sheng Nuan putting on the uniform she had just ripped off the red-haired man, saying a word of “Calm down,” then turned and walked forward confidently.

A group of monsters ran over, looking extremely ferocious. Upon seeing Sheng Nuan and her group, especially Sheng Nuan’s clothes, they froze in surprise.

In the next instant, Sheng Nuan raised her voice and said boldly, “We’re here to recruit. Because of the intruders, the second floor needs to strengthen its guards. We’re now recruiting twenty security guards to work on the second floor, with generous benefits.”

One of the octopus-headed monsters immediately raised its tentacles and shouted urgently, “I—I’ll go.”

But more than half still remained silent, clearly suspicious.

Sheng Nuan ignored them arrogantly, with a proud demeanor, “But let me make it clear upfront. Although the benefits are generous, the requirements are also high. This time, we only need truly loyal and brave warriors who dare to take action in danger. Cowards, don’t come. If we find out you’re cowards, you’ll be kicked out immediately. The trial period is one week. After one week, you start receiving compensation, but it will be distributed on a rolling basis. If you’re unqualified, you’ll be kicked out at any time…”

At this moment, those monsters who were still suspicious suddenly believed her.

If you simply told them the benefits were generous, they’d be suspicious, because they know the way those people on the second floor operate. But as soon as they heard about the trial period, the rolling distribution of benefits after the trial, and the possibility of being dismissed at any time if unqualified—along with all these strict conditions—they believed it instantly.

That’s the way it should be…

While Sheng Nuan was speaking, Chen Qingnan and his group held their breath, incredibly nervous.

After all, facing dozens of monsters, if they attacked en masse, they would truly be in danger. And Sheng Nuan’s words were even more ruthless than the most heartless capitalists!

But unexpectedly, after Sheng Nuan proudly finished her speech, those monsters immediately became excited, jostling and pushing forward eagerly.

An octopus-headed creature waved its tentacles excitedly. “I—I’ll go! I’m very strong. Just yesterday, I chopped up three people…”

A crab-headed creature waved its large pincers. “And me! No one here is stronger than I am!”

“Me, me, me! I want to go too!”

And so, not long after, Sheng Nuan and her group led twenty exuberant monsters confidently upstairs.

On the way, Sheng Nuan had already quietly instructed the others: If anything feels wrong, run.

Because she also wasn’t sure what the situation on the second floor would be either…

The staircase was long. Sheng Nuan walked a few steps and signaled the monsters to come forward. With the demeanor of a seasoned HR professional, she patted the most burly crab head, “According to the boss’s requirements, you’ll be tested on the second floor. Make sure to perform well, understand? I’m very optimistic about you!”

The monsters responded in unison, very invigorated…

T/N: Nuan Nuan is so badass in this arc. She’s a capitalist who can both throw hands and give rainbow farts to fishy man-eating monsters… (ง ◉ _ ◉)ง
