Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

Although Li Ling’er wasn’t as exaggerated as Tian Mi, she was also stunned by Muteki Gamer’s power.

Her Ground Form was a defensive-oriented form, much stronger in defense than the typical Kamen Rider.

But when facing the attacks of the Mantis Worm.

She had no defensive capabilities at all and was directly sent flying.

Qing Mu endured even stronger attacks, all while in a completely defenseless state.

How absurd was this level of defense?

She couldn’t imagine.

All she knew was that if she had such defense, she would no longer have to worry about threats from Lord in the future.

“Hacking? My power is much more incredible than hacking. You guys, step aside, leave these Worms to me, and witness my true strength.”

Qing Mu approached the Mantis Worms slowly, with a steady pace and a strong presence.

Impressing the Mantis Worms greatly.

“Charge!”

Qing Mu’s performance made the Mantis Worms hesitate to engage directly with Qing Mu, so they ordered their subordinates to go die and see how strong Qing Mu really was.

Five Mantis Worms disregarded fairness and attacked Qing Mu simultaneously, intending to overwhelm Qing Mu with their numerical advantage.

Five green shadows attacked from five different directions.

The first Mantis Worm came from the front, swinging its sickles toward Qing Mu’s neck, attempting to decapitate him.

Facing the attack, Qing Mu raised his leg and delivered a swift kick.

His speed was even faster than the Mantis Worm in an accelerated state.

“Hit!”

“Thud!”

The word “hit” appeared on the Mantis Worm’s abdomen.

Then it flew backward for dozens of meters.

Falling to the ground.

The second Mantis Worm launched an attack from above.

Its target was Qing Mu’s forehead.

Unfortunately, Qing Mu now had the skin of Kamen Rider Decade. If it were the normal Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer form, he could have swung his flowing hair to cut the opponent directly.

There was no other choice; Qing Mu could only choose to use a hanging kick, jumping in place and kicking the Mantis Worm in mid-air.

“Hit!”

“Thud!”

This Mantis Worm was also kicked by Qing Mu.

There were still two Mantis Worms attacking from both sides simultaneously, trying to catch Qing Mu off guard.

Qing Mu reached out and grabbed the sharp sickles of two Mantis Worms, applying slight force.

“Snap! Snap!”

With just two crisp sounds, the sickles, which could cut through metal and stone, were easily broken by Qing Mu, as if he were snapping twigs.

Next, Qing Mu used the broken halves of the sickles as throwing weapons, hurling them at the two Mantis Worms.

“Hit!”

“Splut!”

“Hit!”

“Splut!”

The broken sickles pierced through the heads of the two Mantis Worms, as if slicing through tofu.

Dark green blood splattered all around.

The last Mantis Worm launched a surprise attack from behind.

After Qing Mu regained his footing, he delivered a standard roundhouse kick, striking the Mantis Worm in the head.

“Hit!”

“Thud!”

This Mantis Worm was sent flying towards the ceiling’s large hole, passing through it and continuing to soar into the sky.

“Done!”

Qing Mu clapped his hands and didn’t continue to attack because there was no need.

In the next moment, a series of massive explosions rang out.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The five Mantis Worms exploded almost simultaneously.

“Perfect!”

The words “Perfect Critical Hit” appeared amidst the explosion’s flames.

Five formidable Mantis Worms were effortlessly taken down by Qing Mu.

The process was shockingly straightforward.

Once Qing Mu had dealt with these five Mantis Worms, the larval Worms that couldn’t accelerate barely reached him, preparing to attack him.

“Swoosh!”

Qing Mu teleported out of the encirclement formed by the larval Worms, took out his Ride Booker in gun mode, aimed at the larvae, and inserted a card into the Decade Drive.

“Final! Attack Ride! De-De-De-Decade!”

Unimaginable and terrifying energy gathered in the card gun.

The barrel lit up with a dazzling golden light.

Qing Mu pulled the trigger.

“Boom!”

A tremendously powerful golden energy beam shot out from the card gun.

The recoil was so strong that Qing Mu crushed the hard cement ground beneath his feet.

Fortunately, his current strength was more than enough; otherwise, he might not have been able to control the recoil.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Under the power of this shot, not a single larva escaped.

All the larvae were wiped out, none survived.

“The power is pretty good. I like it. This move is effective for clearing out small fry,” Qing Mu remarked.

He rarely used long-range firepower attacks to clear out enemies because such attacks consumed a lot of his own energy.

However, using them occasionally felt satisfying and refreshing.

This one shot’s terrifying power directly collapsed half of the factory building, all thanks to Qing Mu’s restraint.

If Qing Mu had unleashed his power without restraint, it’s estimated that a radius of several kilometers would have been affected.

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi watched Qing Mu’s performance in awe, struggling to find words to describe it.

In their eyes, in less than three seconds, Qing Mu had defeated all those terrifying monsters effortlessly, as if it were as simple as cutting vegetables.

Could a human really achieve such a feat?

They had a newfound appreciation for Qing Mu’s strength, leaving an almost unbeatable and invincible impression on them.

Suddenly, the Mantis Worm launched a surprise attack, releasing a full-power sonic wave attack on Qing Mu.

It didn’t believe that Qing Mu had such formidable defense to withstand its attack.

Invisible sound wave attacks were unleashed.

The first casualty was Li Ling’er’s expensive car, which was instantly shattered by the sound wave attack.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The explosion created a vague dollar sign in the flames.

That’s a lot of money gone.

“Ah!”

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi couldn’t bear the intensity of the sound wave even from a distance. They clutched their heads in pain and screamed.

Meanwhile, Qing Mu stood still, seemingly unaffected by the pain or discomfort.

“I’ve said it before, a louder sound won’t kill you. Why didn’t you listen?” Qing Mu shook his head in exasperation. He then teleported and appeared right in front of the Mantis Worm.

This sudden move startled the Mantis Worm, freezing it in place.

Without giving the Mantis Worm a chance to struggle, Qing Mu grabbed its two arms and squeezed with all his might, crushing the Mantis Worm’s arms.

This action rendered the Mantis Worm unable to use its prized sonic wave attack.

“Die!”

Then, Qing Mu put all his strength into a flying kick, striking the Mantis Worm’s chest.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Perfect!”

The Mantis Worm was instantly kicked into a burst of flames.

Qing Mu, bathed in golden light, emerged from the flames.

In that moment, he seemed like a war god.

The overwhelming pressure and aura made Li Ling’er and Tian Mi almost forget to breathe.

Gradually, calm returned to the warehouse.

After the battle, the warehouse was in shambles due to the aftermath of the fight.

Luckily, it was already abandoned, or Qing Mu would have had to compensate for a hefty sum.

“Advanced mission progress, 39/100.”

After this battle, Qing Mu’s progress toward the advanced mission was now a third of the way complete.

“Phew!”

He reverted from his Muteki Gamer form.

The golden aura around Qing Mu quickly diminished, returning him to his normal Kamen Rider Decade appearance.

“Are you two okay?” Qing Mu asked.

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi were relatively weak, and they didn’t contribute much to the battle. Instead, they had been attacked by the Mantis Worm, taking some hits.

However, Qing Mu didn’t see this as a bad thing. It was necessary to help them broaden their horizons, realize the gap between them and formidable opponents, and motivate them to grow stronger. It was an essential lesson on the path to becoming stronger.

Li Ling’er replied, “I’m fine. Although the monster’s attacks were strange and uncomfortable, I can still bear it.”

“I’m okay too, not so easily defeated by these minor attacks,” Tian Mi replied, though her tone sounded somewhat hollow, indicating that it wasn’t as easy as she made it sound.

“No need to apologize, Ling’er. I broke your car, so I’ll get you a new one,” Qing Mu said confidently.

In the past, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to make such a statement because he didn’t have the money. But things had changed. Qing Mu now had the potential wealth of five small goals, even though the money hadn’t arrived yet. He was qualified to make such promises.

“It’s alright, don’t worry about it. It’s just a car, and if it’s broken, it’s broken. Why compensate me? As long as you’re okay, there’s no need to be so formal. Let’s go. The commotion you caused during the fight was quite significant. I expect someone will come by soon,” Li Ling’er said, waving it off. For her, a person’s safety was more important than any amount of money.

“Wait, let me make a call first. I’ll have professionals come to clean up this place. Besides, I need to report my achievements,” Qing Mu said.

As a senior worker at the Yancheng Defense Base, he received rewards for each monster he eliminated, although he wasn’t sure how the calculations worked. Nevertheless, dealing with over thirty monsters should earn him a substantial reward, considering the quantity alone.

“Alright, you go ahead. We’ll take a break,” Li Ling’er said, leading Tian Mi to sit down for some recovery time.

As Agito, they both possessed strong regenerative abilities. Minor injuries could heal rapidly through their bodies’ natural healing processes. Only more severe injuries required modern medical intervention to speed up the recovery process.

Qing Mu took out his phone and dialed Lin Qianqian’s number.

“Qing Mu, where are you? I wanted to have a meal together, but I haven’t been able to find you for half a day,” Lin Qianqian said.

“I’m outside. I just took care of six adult Worms and around thirty larvae. The place is a bit of a mess now. I need your team to come and clean up,” Qing Mu replied.

Listening to Qing Mu’s impressive battle record, Lin Qianqian responded, “Alright, we’ll send a team over to clean up. You did great!”

On the other end of the phone, Lin Qianqian was so surprised that she almost couldn’t hold her phone steady.

“Wait, are you saying that in the time from when you got off school until now, you’ve taken down over thirty Worms all by yourself? Is that what you mean? Can I understand it like that?”

“That’s right. These Worms, just like the ones from last night, came seeking revenge on me. Unfortunately, they picked the wrong target and ended up sealing their own fate,” Qing Mu explained.

Listening to Qing Mu’s words, Lin Qianqian’s heart started to beat rapidly. Considering Qing Mu’s accomplishments from last night and today, he had achieved what would typically take the Yancheng Defense Base over half a month to accomplish. Worms were adept at hiding and disguising themselves, making them challenging to detect. Even when discovered, they were not easy to deal with. While larvae posed little threat, adult Worms were incredibly powerful.

In the past, eliminating two or three adult Worms in a month was already an outstanding achievement. Yet, Qing Mu had exterminated ten adult Worms in just a few days, surpassing the base’s achievements for half a month.

Because of the unique nature of adult Worms, they carried a high point value in the calculation of the base’s performance evaluation. Defeating them earned a significant number of points. Regardless of the world or location, performance evaluations were a reality, even for Kamen Riders. Otherwise, Yancheng Defense Base wouldn’t have offered a bonus for each monster eliminated to incentivize Qing Mu.

… … …

It was all about performance. The more monsters you defeated, the more recognition Lin Zhendong, the head of the base, could gain among his peers. He could speak more confidently, and it was all for the sake of performance.

“Qing Mu, where are you? I’ll send people over immediately. Please don’t leave the scene, assist our team in gathering evidence. Please, I’m counting on you,” Lin Qianqian said urgently.

“I’m at…”

Qing Mu provided his current location to Lin Qianqian and hung up the phone, awaiting the arrival of the Yancheng Defense Base personnel.

“Alright, I’ve finished my call. They’ll send people over soon. I have to stay here for a while and assist them with some tasks. Do you two want to leave and go rest?” Qing Mu asked.

“No need,” Li Ling’er and Tian Mi replied simultaneously. From Qing Mu’s tone, it seemed like he was affiliated with some mysterious force that dealt with monster-related matters. This mysterious force appeared to specialize in handling such situations. They were curious and eager to witness the other side of this world, so they didn’t want to leave.

On the other end, Lin Qianqian quickly shared the excellent news with her father. When she mentioned that Qing Mu had single-handedly eliminated so many Worms, Lin Zhendong, who was usually composed, found himself unable to remain calm.

These achievements were all his contributions.

Yancheng Defense Base’s strength was moderate, neither exceptionally strong nor weak. In the Dragon Country, it held a mid-tier position. However, everyone wanted to be the best if given the chance. In the past, Lin Zhendong hadn’t entertained such thoughts because he lacked the power to compete for that position.

Now, with Qing Mu’s assistance, it was an opportunity to shine and prove his worth. He couldn’t let this chance pass by without making a statement.

Lin Zhendong promptly dispatched an elite team to the scene, tasked with handling the aftermath and collecting evidence.

In less than twenty minutes, several black business vans pulled up outside the warehouse. More than ten young individuals in matching combat attire disembarked and entered the warehouse. The one leading them was someone Qing Mu didn’t recognize.

The reason Qing Mu could identify him as the leader was that he was the only one among the group wearing sunglasses. Such an unconventional choice of attire would have likely attracted attention if he weren’t the leader.

Qing Mu, Li Ling’er, and Tian Mi had already reverted to their human forms after their transformations.

“Qing Mu, do you know those people?” Li Ling’er asked weakly upon seeing their arrival.

Qing Mu shook his head. “I don’t know them, never had any dealings with them. However, judging by their appearance, they should be the ones sent to handle this situation.”

During their brief rest earlier, Qing Mu had informed Li Ling’er and Tian Mi about the existence of Yancheng Defense Base and his identity as a Kamen Rider. The two were surprised to learn that Lin Qianqian, the seemingly haughty heiress, was also a Kamen Rider.

At the same time, they were intensely curious about Lin Qianqian’s abilities. Tian Mi even had the urge to challenge Lin Qianqian to a fight to see who was stronger.

Up until now, they had only encountered two Kamen Riders—Qing Mu and Lin Qianqian.

Qing Mu was a powerhouse, nearly invincible. A fight with him was essentially self-inflicted torture.

Lin Qianqian, on the other hand, didn’t sound as formidable. She seemed like someone they could test their skills against.

Approaching the situation, Qing Mu greeted the newcomers. “Hello, I’m Qing Mu. You should be aware of my name, right?”

The young man in sunglasses completely ignored Qing Mu, brushing past him. He took a quick glance at the warehouse’s condition before addressing Qing Mu. “I’ve heard your name. Director Lin sent me to handle this.”
