Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Crisis Perception Compass

As Dexter Luther spoke, he habitually turned around, a relieved smile of having just survived on his face.

However, the moment he turned, he was met by three pairs of eyes, each holding a different emotion, staring at him, immobile.

From beneath his hood, Grisha’s gaze was scrutinizing, with a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

Sean Chandler still wore his usual indifferent expression.

Seraphina Sullivan simply couldn’t be bothered.

The smile on Dexter Luther’s face froze instantly. Only then did he belatedly realize that while the crisis with The Silenti was temporarily over, the people around him now weren’t friendly NPCs. They were three Players of unknown origin and unknown strength!

’In my panic, I was the first one to reveal my Ability!’

He forced a laugh, trying to break the sudden tension with a good-natured act. "Heh... heh heh, hey everyone!"

Seraphina could hardly bear to watch his slow-witted reaction, fighting the urge to roll her eyes.

Grisha remained silent for a moment before his hoarse voice was the first to break the stillness. "Right. Thanks," he said simply, acknowledging Dexter’s action of blocking the door.

Sean Chandler also nodded, his assessment just as brief. "Mm, nice Ability." His tone betrayed little emotion, but at least it held no hostility.

When it was Seraphina’s turn, she just quirked a corner of her lip and let out a humorless, "Heh."

Dexter Luther: "???"

He was momentarily stunned by their starkly different reactions, and the atmosphere immediately grew more awkward. A subtle silence filled the small hiding spot.

Seraphina, however, paid the awkward atmosphere no mind.

With the crisis temporarily averted, her thoughts immediately turned to the new Profession she’d awakened in this instance: Bird Breeder.

’The danger has passed. Now is the perfect time to test out its Abilities!’

Seraphina focused her mind, attempting to activate one of the Bird Breeder’s Skills: the Bird Manipulation Technique.

However, as far as her spiritual power could reach, there was only deathly silent emptiness.

There were no birds nearby.

The Skill failed to activate.

Seraphina’s brow furrowed slightly. That was to be expected.

Just then, Grisha, who had been sitting quietly to regulate his breathing, suddenly stood up. His movements were sharp and decisive; he had clearly made up his mind to leave.

"It’s still dangerous out there. You’re leaving now?" Seeing this, Dexter Luther couldn’t help but ask. He wore a perfectly calibrated expression of concern, as if he were genuinely just a kind-hearted greenhorn.

Grisha didn’t break his stride. His hoarse voice drifted out from under his hood. "Staying here is a waste of time, just waiting for danger to come to us. Better to go out and explore. We might find supplies, a way to deal with the Petrification, or clues about the truth behind this apocalypse."

Hearing this, Dexter Luther put on a thoughtful expression and nodded dumbly. "Oh, that’s a good point... As long as we’re careful to avoid those little monsters that cause Petrification, this instance doesn’t seem as dangerous as I thought. Man, to be honest, this is my first time in an LV2 instance. I’m a little nervous. There’s so much I don’t get."

Grisha glanced at him. The gaze beneath his hood flickered almost imperceptibly, but he didn’t respond.

’This guy... he’s acting far too naive. It doesn’t fit with a Player who’s survived long enough to reach LV2.’

Listening from the side, Seraphina was inwardly speechless. ’All right, he’s a lost cause.’

’His knack for playing the fool has certainly grown, but isn’t this act a little over the top?’

She became even more determined not to reveal that she knew Dexter Luther during this instance.
