First, he left a letter in the Storage Cabinet linked to the world of magic, indicating that he had received the item and was very satisfied.
The quality of the Impartation Crystal was uncertain without a better point of comparison, but the consumption during strengthening suggested that the material was indeed quite remarkable.
Afterward, he used the Storage Cabinet connected to Du Gang’s place to visit his world, with more than twenty hours to spare—plenty of ti to catch up with Du Gang and take on a temporary role as a Bounty Hunter.
Ancient capital.
Zheng Yichen looked at the city, suffused with classical features, his expression carrying a trace of surprise...mainly because so aspects of the buildings here didn’t quite match the rest of the surroundings.
It was as if a classical-style city had been specifically constructed in a modernized world.
On the streets, one could see bustling traffic; while the lanes were not very wide, there were more cyclists, and people carried devices like smartphones, even neon signs existed.
The shops lining the streets displayed a dazzling variety, with many items for sale related to training exercises.
At a glance, at least one in ten shops were martial arts studios or sothing similar.
So bronze-skinned martial artists demonstrated their unique skills outside their dojos, using real, solid materials instead of re props.
In the Dusk Territory, the number of Dusk nuns exceeded twenty, which ans the population of this world conservatively surpasses six billion people.
"Excuse ... are you Your Excellency Chang Qing?" At the entrance of the Dusk Territory, a young man approached and asked.
"That’s ."
The young man eagerly said, "That’s great! Lord Du Gang has requested your presence."
"You’re too kind." Zheng Yichen smiled, "Then let’s go."
Du Gang’s residence... Zheng Yichen imagined that it would be sothing exceptional. Upon arrival with the child, however, it just seed quite normal, about the sa level as his own residence in Hazy City.
After passing by, Zheng Yichen could hear so screams, which led him to glance at the young man at his side, whose expression didn’t change much.
Noticing the confusion, the young man said sowhat enviously, "That should be Lord Du Gang training people."
Ah? Is he disciplining a child? Zheng Yichen imdiately thought of the casual conversations Du Gang had with him; Du Gang, as an adult, had children when he beca a Proxy Agent, though they were quite young at that ti.
As ti passed and the Proxy Agent role beca more demanding, the children also grew, but despite growing up, Du Gang stated that his children were not making enough effort. As a Proxy Agent father striving to succeed, he did not want his son to follow in the sa line of work.
But they shouldn’t slack off just because their father is invincible in their native world, right?
Zheng Yichen simply felt that Du Gang had picked the wrong examples for comparison.
"Hahaha, you’re here!" Before Zheng Yichen could knock, laughter sounded from within, and Du Gang strode out to greet him with a hug, "Co in quickly!"
As he pulled Zheng Yichen into the yard, he said to the young man, "Good job, you can go back to the dojo now."
In the courtyard, a young man covered in dirt bearing a striking resemblance to Du Gang glanced curiously at the peer of a similar age, just as he was about to speak, Du Gang gave him a stern look: "What are you staring at? Go change your clothes! Have your mother prepare a good al."
"Alright, sure, Dad." The young man quickly went inside, feeling sowhat relieved that his father had changed quite a bit since coming back. Though he was mostly the sa as before, the training felt even more rigorous.
Out of slight curiosity, he asked, and that only resulted in several hits from Du Gang, who then set him a new threshold, warning that if it was not t by the end of the year, there would be consequences.
Moreover, he would be cast into a place to experience the brutal reality of survival.
As to what place that would be, Du Gang did not say, but the ’ferocious’ expression on his father’s face was terrifying enough to the young man.
Du Gang introduced to Zheng Yichen, "This is Du Yu, my son. How’s your recovery coming along?"
"I’ve fully recovered," Zheng Yichen replied, presenting the gifts he had prepared for Du Gang: "Also, I’ve been to a remarkable place—have you heard of the World Tree? These are branches and leaves from the World Tree."
"No need for such courtesy just because you’re visiting." Du Gang did not refuse the gifts offered by Zheng Yichen; he sensed a vigorous life force emanating from the two items.
While the items were not particularly useful to him, they could be crafted into equipnt for his family; the straight processed branches of the World Tree could be turned into weapons, and the leaves into jewelry or armor.
They would be useful for his son.
"Dad, the arrangents have been made," Du Yu, now dressed in fresh clothes, ca out from the house, "though it’ll take a little ti."
"Alright, stop being curious; he’s one of my comrades," Du Gang glanced at his son, knowing the boy’s curiosity, "We’re heading out for a bit; don’t gossip too much with your friends."
As a Proxy Agent of this world, Du Gang, and by extension, his family, was always under scrutiny. Others dared not offend him, but they sought other ways to get close to him.
It’s just as he said to Zheng Yichen, after gaining great power, his charm with won mysteriously improved. This was not only true for him but also for his son. However, Du Gang didn’t indulge his son either.
If he caused trouble, he’d fight. Full of the ancient capital’s tradition, Du Gang was well aware of the risks of being a Proxy Agent. He had even died once before, and although there were still reserved chances, what in the world is absolutely certain?
Maybe one day he’d truly be gone.
He couldn’t raise a useless son; even if his son was weak, it was crucial that there were no issues with his character.
"Shall we go to the prison first?"
With a grin, Zheng Yichen said, "Why go there? I like those who resist."
"Hahaha, interesting. Then let’s find so who will resist." Du Gang laughed. Those captured in the prison were just dumb thieves who basically didn’t pose any follow-up dangers. It was those who hadn’t been caught that were troubleso.
It didn’t take long for Du Gang to find the relevant information for Zheng Yichen. This information had been obtained by local officials with a lot of effort and manpower.
These were the kind of situations where everything had been confird, and it was just a matter of rounding them up.
By doing this, he was hijacking the officials’ efforts, but Du Gang wasn’t indifferent. Though he hijacked them, he offered more compensation and ensured that those people would be brought to justice.
A hundred percent guarantee.
"There are people from both the ancient capital and tamorphosis City. If we’re quick, we can finish and head back for dinner. Split up?"
Du Gang knew that Zheng Yichen had an impressive motorbike, and when it ca to efficiency, there was nothing to say. The al prepared for Zheng Yichen was exquisite and would take a while to cook. With their efficiency, ten targets could be taken care of before the al was ready.
"Then let’s split up."
"Boss, the map is loaded, and the route is planned."
The projection of Lilith appeared, showing a map with two planned routes.
After looking at it for a while, Du Gang said, "I’ll take the shorter route."
He couldn’t compare with Zheng Yichen in terms of speed, so it was better for him to take a shorter route.
The two separated, and Du Gang adjusted his appearance a bit before starting to move. It wasn’t that he wanted to be a scrub player; being discreet when necessary was how he had always operated in this world, except for his past high-profile monts.
Zheng Yichen took on the longer route, but it didn’t affect his efficiency. The upgraded speed of the motorcycle was beyond what ordinary people could imagine. On the way, he even managed to tour around tamorphosis City.
Just like Du Gang said, many people in tamorphosis City seed quite... plump, which had to do with their practice of tamorphosis. That thing easily deceived one’s perception of weight.
His targets were near tamorphosis City. People from the ancient capital would be in tamorphosis City, and vice versa; people from both places were not isolated from each other in this world.
To the criminals of tamorphosis City, Zheng Yichen’s power was like a dinsional strike. He had also seen the uniqueness of tamorphosed bodies, which as Du Gang described, were highly mobile, with high evasion and damage negation.
Perfect for solo combat, but tamorphosis City residents could never serve as tanks. A tamorphosed body was like standing still, where if soone took a shot, the unlucky one would be the person behind them.
Vajra Body, on the other hand, was a at shield that made those standing behind feel secure.
"How is this possible..." A man from tamorphosis City, looking at the black fishing rod lifting him up, had an incredulous expression. As a long-wanted criminal from tamorphosis City proficient in cultivating a tamorphosed body, he was now casually lifted by soone’s weapon.
Was his tamorphosed body so easily broken?
"How could it not be possible? Forget it, I don’t want to explain to you." Zheng Yichen flicked the fishing rod in his hand, and the man from tamorphosis City trying to maintain his tamorphosed state drifted away like smoke.
He glanced at the projection screen, then hopped onto the motorbike next to him. Next one.
With Lilith’s speed, Zheng Yichen and Du Gang t up an hour later. Today was an extra busy day for tamorphosis City and the ancient capital.
Mainly, so previously hard-to-eliminate dens had been efficiently cleared, and they needed to head over to complete the follow-up work. Although the bodies at the scenes were strange, the heads were real.
A lot of heads were found without bodies.
"These count as having no ability to resist, right?" Du Gang looked at the criminals from the ancient capital killed by Zheng Yichen, cracking a slight smile. He had seen Zheng Yichen’s process of absorbing blood in the Great World, so seeing it again didn’t elicit much of a reaction.
Demonic cultivator? Talk about that with a Proxy Agent? Could a demonic cultivator even compare to the brothers by his side?
Zheng Yichen shook his head: "They resisted you, but they didn’t succeed."
"Hahahaha, indeed, that’s the case. How do you feel now?" Du Gang glanced at the heads Zheng Yichen had specifically left behind and then asked about Zheng Yichen’s condition.
