"Melody. Do you want to join our group?" "..." Melody didn't answer immediately, but her expression showed everything. Her eyes rolled, and she bit her lips as if she smelled something disgusting. "You look annoyed." Clovis gave a wry smile. Even though he had expected this answer, he was still surprised that Melody's expression could be that descriptive. "I don't mind going into danger because it's my job, but I don't want to be a part of a group that will be constantly on the run. It's just too troublesome." Melody shook her head. Because Clovis had been carried by her, he perfectly understood the reason. Her body was completely drenched by her own sweat. Even he or Jay, who were facing the most brutal fight, didn't sweat that much.@@@@ It seemed that she was sweating far too much. Even her lips were dry. If this continued, she would be the first to fall from dehydration. It was no wonder why she wanted to be a camping operator and remained inside the car the whole time. If not for the special situation, she wouldn't even bother. However, most operators would simply leave them alone and have nothing to do with them when the beast wave occurred. Only someone like Melody would be insane enough to actually help them despite knowing that this beast wave was artificially created just to kill them. This was the reason why Clovis actually tried to recruit her. "What if I give up half of my portion of money and add it to your portion?" Clovis asked. "..." Melody's eyebrows twitched, but she soon shook her head. "No. It's too much for me. While I can see that you guys are strong, much stronger than the usual Tier 1 humans, you will attract too much trouble, which I don't want to be a part of." "Alright then." Clovis let out a long sigh. "I thought that it would be fun to do some explorations together. See Kanaria? She became more active because of you." "What?" Kanaria raised her voice but soon stopped because she felt a bit apologetic for accusing her. "Well, I have to apologize first. I was too harsh earlier." "Even though we are weak right now, we can still fight." Clovis waved his hand, assuring her that everything was going to be alright. As soon as they left, Jay couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure about it?" "About what?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion. "Inviting Melody to the group." Clovis thought for a moment before asking, "Do you have the same opinion as Kanaria about her laziness?" "Well..." Jay didn't say it, but as someone who worked as hard as he did, he felt a bit uncomfortable when seeing Melody's character. "Do you believe what Melody said earlier? About her being a burden." "Yeah. If she doesn't intend to improve, then we shouldn't really force her. Besides, it will be good for both parties to just walk their own paths." Jay nodded without hesitation. "Yet, Melody actually stepped out of her comfort zone and turned into a mobile operator. And from the looks of it, she was extremely adept at it. Although it was true that the AI helped her, couldn't you think that she worked hard to make her life more comfortable? "In my eyes, Melody is not lazy. She works hard to pursue a comfortable life, which enables her to laze around. If push comes to shove, she will do everything in her power to do it... in fact, she might work harder than any of us here." Clovis smiled confidently. Jay looked at Clovis for a moment. After those words, he realized that while he could work harder than Clovis, he still couldn't be compared to his eyes for people. 'I guess this is his unique trait. He doesn't have a high evolution rate, but he has sharp eyes for people. If Melody is that good, then I don't really mind.' Jay sighed before saying, "You shouldn't force her though." "I know. I will try a little bit, but if she still refuses, then I will give up." Clovis nodded.
