Chapter 1: Steampunk apocalypse

The new book "How Hateful is the Drama Queen with Invincible Defense" has been released

…………

268 years ago, human society was selfish, cruel, greedy, materialistic, money-oriented, and slanderous. The bad nature of human beings spread throughout the world. That day, in the most prosperous city in the world, a black giant suddenly appeared and destroyed the entire city in an instant with a god-like posture...

From this moment on, the world embarked on the end of the world of struggle and suffering.

My name is Hope, a soldier who has just left the new barracks and entered the Sunlight Corps. The name Hope was given to me by my grandfather. The purpose was to let me survive with hope. Until one day, I picked up that bracelet, which made me really the only hope for all mankind...

Human territory, steel city, Avenue 13.

The neat streets are lined with early market stalls, and the crowds are bustling. Civilians carry baskets and shuttle through them, looking carefully and selecting the goods they want.

The buildings on both sides of the street are very rigid and tall, square and lifeless, but the interlaced steam pipes and the two streams of steam sprayed from the pressure control valves from time to time give the whole city a strange steel beauty.

"My beautiful lady, please believe me, with your talent, if you use the machine I developed, you will be able to lose weight quickly. Your current beauty is so dazzling, if you really lose weight, how dazzling will it be!"

"Oh! That kind of scene, just thinking about it makes people tremble with anticipation!"

"Please let me call you that now, the flower of the beautiful steel city, your beauty, even this steel city will soften because of you~"

In a store called "Horner's Steel Steam House", a handsome boy with a brown ponytail took the left hand of a fat woman, kissed her hand very gentlemanly, and with a smile, he slowly promoted the goods in his store with his magnetic voice.

"Oh, hohoho!"

The fat woman raised her fan to cover half of her face, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and it was obvious that the words of the young Horner made her very happy.

"Then, young mechanic, I will buy this machine from your house. I am looking forward to its effect."

The fat woman put away the fan and smiled with satisfaction at Horner, who was standing upright.

In response, Horner stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly to the fat woman: "As you wish, madam."

Nodding, the fat woman moved her huge tonnage and turned to walk out.

One of the followers behind her hurriedly came up and took out a pasika full of tiny gears and handed it to Horner, while the others gritted their teeth and began to move the machine that Horner had just promoted in the store with great effort.

"The total is 2,200 Pabis. Thank you for your patronage. Please enter the password."

Horner inserted the other party's card into a palm-sized differential machine and handed it to the follower with a smile.

Watching the other party enter the password, the differential machine kept coming with the "click" sound of small gears turning, and Horner narrowed his eyes with a bright smile.

"Please take care, remember to come often in the future, Horner's hut will always provide the best quality steam machinery!"

Pasika spit out again, watching the other party and his group leave his shop, Horner did not forget to wave enthusiastically behind.

"You are lying again, that lady is obviously a fat woman, her facial features are not clear, how can she be as beautiful as you say."

The fat lady and her group had already walked away. At this time, a black-haired boy with his hands folded on his chest and wearing a Sunlight Corps combat uniform at the door of the store greeted Horner.

Looking at this appearance, he should have been standing here waiting for a while.

"Xiao Xi, you are still so straightforward. Don't do that again in the future, it will offend people."

Horner glanced at Hope at the door, sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked back into the store, and then said: "And what I said is not a lie, it's just a normal business compliment, so that it is more convenient for me to sell my things. Be tactful, remember, Xiao Xi. I don't want you to make enemies everywhere because of your outspokenness."

"I know, I didn't say anything in front of that lady."

Horner also walked into the store, pulled a chair casually, and sat down in front of Horner's work desk.

"Then you have made great progress. I am happy for you, Xiao Xi."

Horner sat down on the chair behind the work desk and turned a wheel next to it. With a "click" sound of gears, the chain was pulled, and a wooden platform on the wall next to it slowly descended, just next to Horner.

"Hey! Let's not talk about this for now! I came here today because I have something very happy to share with you! Look! Look! I have successfully graduated from the recruit camp and joined the Sunlight Corps!"

When this matter was mentioned, the young boy Hope was undoubtedly very excited. He jumped off the chair and leaned over to Horner's side. He pointed at a military badge with the sun logo on his left arm, his face full of excitement.

Hearing this, Horner, who was looking for something on the wooden table with his back to Hope, paused, and a trace of unwillingness and sadness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly came back to his senses.

Picking up a goggle from a box, he turned around and threw it to Hope with a smile. Seeing that the other party couldn't reach it and hurriedly caught it, he laughed again and said: "I noticed you when you were standing in front of my store, but congratulations to you! This goggles is my gift to you to celebrate. Now that I have successfully joined the Sunlight Corps, remember to return my share of revenge to those monsters!"

Hope, who was fiddling with the goggles in his hand, was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed and put his arm around the other person's shoulders, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "An Xin is good! Horner, your talent is in machinery. And my talent is in fighting. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely fight back to our hometown and take back our lost home. This is our wish!"

As he spoke, Hope seemed to have remembered something, and sighed slightly disappointedly, and then said: "Unfortunately, during the graduation exam for the new military camp, I was deducted points for the psychological aspect of the comprehensive exam. The instructor said that I was too impatient, otherwise If so, with my grades, I should be able to join the Blade Corps. In that case, maybe we can return to our hometown sooner."

Hearing this, Horner was also stunned, bit his lip, and finally looked at Hope beside him with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xi, I want you to agree to a request of mine."

"Eh? What?"

Hope let go of Horner's hand and looked at him with some confusion.

"Promise me, no matter what happens, please protect yourself. You are the only family I have left, and I don't want to lose you too."

Horner stared into Hope's eyes with bright eyes, his expression full of determination.

"It's hard to say...after all, on the battlefield...that...that..."

Hope spoke softer and quieter. Looking at the extremely serious look on the other party's face, he finally stopped talking. After a long silence, he suddenly gave a thumbs up and showed a big smile: "No problem! With Horner behind me! I am absolutely! He will never die!"
