[Remaining Simulation Points: 1,345,718]
"Whew!"
Chen Pingchuan let out a long breath, his chest rising and falling slightly.
To maximize his speed, Chen Pingchuan hadn't stopped for a mont during this Simulation Point recharge. In just twenty minutes, he completed an even larger absorption than before, and in less ti.
At that mont, the sound of gunfire outside gradually subsided. This was a clear sign that the battle involving Nightingale was nearing its conclusion.
Chen Pingchuan casually smoothed his slightly disheveled hair and headed toward the rest area, where the gunfire had just been most intense.
When Chen Pingchuan arrived at the entrance of Li Laoqi's residence, the place was already deserted.
Large patches of scorched marks on the walls, glass shattered into countless shapes, and dense clusters of bullet holes all testified to the ferocity of the recent battle.
Unlike in the simulation where he lost his chanical arm, this Li Laoqi, as a level-four cyborg, should have put up a fight for a good while before being captured by Nightingale.
As Chen Pingchuan analyzed the recent battle, he stepped into Li Laoqi's residence.
Li Laoqi's ho was quite conspicuous in the mining area. It was a newly built, two-story villa with a floor area of over two hundred square ters. Clearly, the owner had spared no expense.
The villa's first floor was a huge living room. What should have been luxurious decor was now in complete disarray, with all sorts of debris scattered about. It was obvious that more than one person had been here.
After a quick look around, Chen Pingchuan found nothing and continued upstairs. The layout of the second floor was much more complex than the first. As he looked up, he saw a row of several rooms, their purposes unknown.
Chen Pingchuan checked each room, one by one, but still found nothing. That is, until he opened the door to a small, red room at the end of the hall, where he finally saw sothing unique.
A wide variety of won's clothing, suggesting different occupations and styles, was neatly arranged in a row. This indicated that the room's owner organized them frequently. It was a stark contrast to the chaos on the first floor, like two completely different worlds.
SQUEAK...
A faint sound suddenly broke the silence of the room. It sounded like an old hinge groaning under pressure.
"Who's there?"
Chen Pingchuan, who had been about to leave, froze. His sharp gaze instantly shot to the maroon wooden wardrobe. His muscles tensed, like a monster poised to strike.
"Co out!" Chen Pingchuan bellowed.
His voice echoed like thunder in the small space. Terrified, the person hiding in the wardrobe began to tremble violently and shakily crawled out.
"I'm coming out! I'm coming out! Please, don't kill ! I didn't do anything, this has nothing to do with ..."
A still-beautiful, mature woman crawled out from the shadows of the wardrobe. She kept her head down the entire ti, crying softly, her body trembling uncontrollably with fear.
Chen Pingchuan looked at the tear-streaked woman, his lips curving into a faint smile. "Big sis, don't be afraid," he said softly. "As long as you can help , I promise I won't make things difficult for you."
"Big sis?"
Hearing his youthful voice and the way he addressed her, the woman cautiously lifted her head to steal a glance at Chen Pingchuan. Seeing his handso face, she imdiately pigeonholed him as the type of naive young man who was easily seduced by a woman's charms.
Her previously unstoppable tears vanished instantly, replaced by a wild glee in her heart. Hmph, n are all the sa, regardless of age. They only think about what's between their legs. Just wait. I'll use every trick I know to get this tender little boy comfortable, and then won't he be putty in my hands?
With her mind made up, the woman didn't get up. Instead, she crawled on her knees toward Chen Pingchuan. From his vantage point, the deep valley of her cleavage was particularly striking, exuding a pink, tempting allure.
Then, without asking for permission, she reached for his pants, her movents so skillful they seed rehearsed countless tis.
Chen Pingchuan frowned and dodged back in a flash, her hands grabbing at empty air.
"Big sis, I think you've misunderstood ," Chen Pingchuan said. "When I said 'help,' I ant that since you're in Li Laoqi's private villa, you must have an unusual relationship with him."
The woman froze, instinctively starting to deny it. "Uh, I don't..."
But before she could distance herself from Li Laoqi, Chen Pingchuan's voice cut her off—cold, flat, and carrying an undeniable authority that bored straight into her mind.
"I'm not asking for much. As Li Laoqi's bedmate, you must know where he hides his treasures. Just tell the location, and afterward, we can both go our separate ways."
The woman tried to play dumb again. "Sob... I really don't know... I was just a toy he captured to satisfy his lust! He never treated like a person, so how could I possibly know..."
This ti, however, Chen Pingchuan wasn't buying it. He resorted to direct threats. "Big sis, you're not being cooperative. You must know that in this apocalypse, the useless are always the first to die. If you really don't know anything, then I'll have to send you on your way myself. Better that than being humiliated by soone else later."
The woman's eyes darted as she quickly changed the subject. "What I ant was, others don't know, but I certainly do. It's just... even though Master Li is done for, what if other people co looking for his things? If they don't find anything, won't we get dragged into it?"
"Don't worry about it," Chen Pingchuan replied quickly, as if he genuinely weren't concerned about anyone coming to hold him accountable. "If anyone asks, just bla it all on ."
Sensing his resolve, the woman cursed him inwardly. This little brat! Talk is cheap. When the ti actually cos, you'll sing a different tune if I really point the finger at you. Hmph. I know the treasure is valuable, but so things aren't so easy to take. If it were that simple, I would have taken it myself long ago. I wouldn't have waited for you.

Though she was cursing him to hell and back in her mind, her face showed no trace of resentnt. On the contrary, she put on an act, pretending to be captivated by his handso features. One had to admit, won are born actresses.
"I won't bla it on you. When the ti cos, I'll just say there was never any treasure. Now, follow . I'll take you there."
With that, the woman led Chen Pingchuan toward Li Laoqi's study.
It was called a study, but Li Laoqi's study contained hardly any books. The empty space practically radiated illiteracy.
As Chen Pingchuan watched with a puzzled expression, the woman pointed to the bookshelf. "Here it is. From what I rember, Master Li never allowed anyone into his study. I snuck in once and was... punished quite severely for it."
At this point, a blush crept across her face, and she said no more.
