Chapter 052: Insufficient Qualifications

After listening quietly to Wang Bo's explanation, the catwoman let out a long breath after a long while.

"I never imagined that you would have such a background."

"Isn't it astonishing?"

The catwoman nodded.

Wang Bo said, "Actually, it's not as astonishing as you think. It's just a poor wretch who can't control his own fate. To be honest, if I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to live this kind of life."

What he longed for was an ordinary, mundane life.

But the catwoman wanted to hit someone after hearing that.

Such a magnificent life, and you actually disdain it? You simply don't know when you're well off!!!

The reason she had turned to theft in the first place was that she was short of money, but by now, Catwoman was no longer short of money. Yet she did not wash her hands of the game; on the contrary, she continued to steal jewelry and famous paintings.

Because she had already fallen in love with such an exciting life.

In her view, Wang Bo's life was undoubtedly thrilling, far more exciting than her own thievery, yet Wang Bo actually despised such a life.

This made Catwoman quite indignant, and she even wanted to swap places with Wang Bo.

Driven by this thought, Catwoman couldn't help but ask, "Can I become your companion? Travel across worlds with you."

Wang Bo really didn't know if Catwoman could do it, so he said, "Wait a moment, let me ask."

Catwoman nodded.

“Cheater, come out for a moment.”

【Is there something you need from me?】

"There's a girl in front of me—Catwoman from the Batman world—who wants to become my companion. I'm not sure if it'll work out," Wang Bo asked.

【Holy shit, you cucked the master】

“I didn’t, it wasn’t me, don’t talk nonsense.” Wang Bo decisively gave a triple denial, but quickly realized, “You actually know about Batman.”

I know far more than you do. Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that you, host, would cuckold Batman.

“I really didn’t,” Wang Bo said. “When I met Catwoman, Batman didn’t even know her yet.”

【So you stole the show】

"Can we stop talking about this? I'm just asking you, Catwoman wants to be my partner, yes or no."

【Of course not. She doesn't have the aptitude to become my host.】

"Forget it, then." Although Wang Bo had never quite understood what "qualifications" meant, since the cheat had said so, he couldn't force the issue.

Moreover, the path to becoming a host is extremely dangerous. If the catgirl draws a weaker ability and enters a high-risk world, the likelihood of her getting a game over is very high.

Might as well keep muddling along in this world.

“By the way, host, since you have already completed the task, would you like me to send you to the next world?”

"Complete the mission? When did I complete the mission? Isn't there still another transmigrator?"

【There's another time traveler? Huh? This world actually has two time travelers???】

"Fuck, you don't even know that? Didn't you send me here?"

【I only sent you to a world with a transmigrator, but I don't know exactly which world it is or how many transmigrators there are. I'm not omniscient—I'm merely an artifact created by the multiverse gods to manage transmigrators across the multiverse.】

Wang Bo: "...So you're a divine artifact."

Wang Bo had always been pondering what his cheat was. Initially, he leaned toward it being a system, but a divine artifact did not surprise him either.

Within the scope of Wang Bo's imagination.

【I never expected that in your world, there would actually be two time-travelers, and you've found them both. Host, you're truly amazing—host is awesome (voice cracking)】

"You've already used that meme."

【Whatever, the host is awesome anyway (cracking voice)】

Wang Bo shook his head, too lazy to bother with this increasingly ridiculous guy, and said to the anxious catgirl, "Sorry, your aptitude isn't good enough. There's no way."

The catgirl was somewhat disappointed, but not dejected, after all she had considered this outcome from the start.

Anyway, her life now wasn't too bad.

"When do you plan to leave?" the Catwoman asked.

"In a day or two," Wang Bo said.

Once I take over Batman's arsenal, I'll send AFO away and then go to the next world.

He hoped that in the next world, there wouldn't be any more trouble, and he could live a peaceful life.

Wang Bo was extremely grateful.

The next evening, Wang Bo drove the Batmobile to the Falcone estate and met AFO.

"I came to see you today to let you know that the plan has changed. I will be leaving this world soon. If you want to leave here, I can send you home. But if you don't want to leave, after I'm gone, you'll have to wait for someone else to send you home. However, I'm not sure when the next person who can send you home will come."

He had agreed with AFO to send him home two months later, but Wang Bo no longer wanted to stay in this world.

He had decided to leave, so he came today to inform AFO.

If AFO insisted on not leaving, Wang Bo had no way to deal with it. So he simply made up a lie.

He knew that AFO would never easily believe his one-sided story.

AFO would certainly be guessing in his heart whether what he said was true or false, but he didn't dare to gamble, because AFO would absolutely not stay in this world forever.

After a few minutes of silence, AFO said, "As it happens, my experiment is complete, and I can leave this world today."

Just as Wang Bo had thought.

AFO knew that Wang Bo's words contained some exaggeration, but he couldn't immediately tell which parts were true and which were false.

So he didn't dare to gamble. If Wang Bo left, how many years would it be before the next person to send him home appeared?

Was he going to stay in this world for a few years?

Given his lifespan, he naturally didn't care about a mere few years in that world.

But he still had his own mission and wanted to train his apprentice. What if, by the time he returned, his immature apprentice had been killed by someone?

So AFO ultimately decided to go home immediately.

As for the experiment, he had indeed completed it; even if he went home now, there would be nothing to regret.

Wang Bo was quite surprised, never expecting this operation to go so smoothly.

He had only come today to inform AFO, not intending to send him home right away, but AFO was so cooperative that Wang Bo found it hard to refuse.

"Alright, take my hand, and I'll send you home."

"Could you wait a moment?" AFO did not immediately take Wang Bo's hand. "Let me first say a few words to my subordinates."

“Of course.”

Wang Bo was not an unreasonable person. Since AFO was willing to communicate with his own men, he didn't find it convenient to stop him; it was just a matter of waiting a few minutes.

Wang Bo hadn't expected that this wait would last over an hour.

It was not until around ten o'clock in the evening that AFO appeared before Wang Bo again.

“I am ready.”
