"I didn't expect you to have so many lovers that you needed to build a house in the mining area."
Tang Xian considered himself a person who had risen above low-level tastes and seriously corrected:
"The air here is good, and I feel comfortable living here, that's all."
"I have sothing for you."
Yu Xiaozhe took out a black box.
"What is this? A communication device?" Tang Xian took it and glanced at it.
Yu Xiaozhe nodded and said:
"I t soone nad Lin Sen. I'm responsible for the forgeries, and he provides so black tech products. People on the third level then got access to the network. This is like a mobile phone, but even at the bottom level, you can still receive network signals, and don't worry, it can't be traced. Lin Sen and I both use it, and now you have one, too.
You can't use it in the mining area, but when you're back at the Pyramid, you can use it to flirt with girls. There's been a renaissance of culture recently; they're back to playing with ssage bottles, Douyin, and WeChat and stuff. I've already hooked up with several."
Tang Xian, after all, was soone who had looked through two hundred billion Weibo posts from Luo, reading less than a thousandth of them, but still had so knowledge of the ancient techniques for quick hook-ups.
He wasn't interested, but having such a phone was very convenient. After all, he had to keep up appearances, returning to the Pyramid occasionally, and could spend those boring ten hours online.
"I've installed so apps that young people like these days. The charging tools are inside, too, so figure it out on your own."
Tang Xian nodded. Though his knowledge was comprehensive, he rarely engaged in such forms of entertainnt and leisure. He planned to try them out when he had ti, like setting up sothing they call a WeChat account.
"This is a nice gift. I'll help you deal with so trouble," he said.
"What trouble could I possibly have?"
"Have you recently taken on a new assistant?"
"Are you a worm in my belly? How do you know everything?"
"There's sothing wrong with that assistant. Once you're back...," Tang Xian said nothing, but made a throat-slitting gesture.
Yu Xiaozhe fell silent.
He looked at Tang Xian seriously, and after several seconds, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"Positive. You don't need to know how I know. You just need to rember, like when we were in school, that what I say is always true."
"That kid is quite clever. I've got a big deal going on lately. Twelve fortresses of Dongdao Country are planning to break away from the federal system and return to the independent state system that existed hundreds of years ago. They're printing their own currency."
Tang Xian understood the implications of these words. Although each country still had its own na, human civilization was now under a federal system.
Dongdao Country didn't have a large population, but it did have twelve fortresses and not a few people on the second level and above. It was a technological giant, so it made sense that they'd want to break away from the federal system.
For Yu Xiaozhe, who was adept at making counterfeit money, this indeed presented an opportunity to make a fortune. But Tang Xian didn't want to know or participate in such illegal and unruly activities.
He said:
"When you think you've made enough money, it's ti to quit. If you run into trouble, let know. I may not be able to solve your problems beforehand like I did today every ti."
"So how exactly did you find out my new assistant is a problem?"
"You've been wanted by the federation and Huaxia for so many years but have survived quite well. I don't believe you were followed after entering the forest. This can only an that your recent movents have been leaked, and the only one who could have disclosed your whereabouts is your assistant. There could be other possibilities, but soone will soon point a gun at , so I can verify it."
Yu Xiaozhe was shocked. I've been followed?
His face changed imdiately, and a red dot appeared on Tang Xian's head.
An assassin had Tang Xian in their sights.
Tang Xian just looked at Yu Xiaozhe's expression to understand what was happening and said:
"I rember you having only two talents. Theoretically speaking, you are not as strong as my assistant. Follow my assistant and hide. They followed you all the way here, intending to catch you red-handed, so they will not shoot now."
Tang Xian pointed at Dong Ran. At that mont, Dong Ran too noticed strangers approaching.
"This is an old classmate of mine. His na is Yu Xiaozhe. This is my assistant, Dong Ran. You can also call her Tang. Things are a bit special now, so just consider yourselves simply introduced. Dong Ran, take Yu Xiaozhe and hide.
Don't engage with these people. That's an order."
Dong Ran nodded, worried for Tang Xian but already accustod to the fact that when Tang speaks, all she needs to do is follow orders.
"Rember to keep an eye on Tang Xiaojiu; don't let her kill those fish too soon. They're not fresh if they die too early."
After saying this, Tang Xian walked out of the yard.
Outside, he waved in the direction of the red dot and soon, three hunters erged.
By scent detection, Tang Xian knew that a total of six people had co.
The unique sll of their uniforms could disperse so minor enhanced creatures and insects, a technology from the United Kingdom's uaf rcenary corps, ranked thirty-third in the world for hunting.
It was the standard style of British rcenaries, who would take on any job for money.
Tang Xian heaved a sigh of relief, since they were unofficial military and not local Huaxia troops, he could confidently stretch out his hands and feet.
The three hunters each wielded different weapons, presumably related to their awakened abilities.
The leader was tall and thin, ard with a western sword; another was burly, wielding a chain hamr; and the last one, comparatively short, used a military spike.
All were close combat units, which brought pleasure to Tang Xian.
Fluent in various languages, he consciously cursed in Korean this ti, saying "Ah-si-ba," then raised his middle finger.
Although these three uaf rcenaries didn't know why this Asian was standing there alone, waiting to be captured, nor why the counterfeit boss didn't flee in the yard, being provoked was welcod by them.
It was a valid excuse to wantonly prey on their target.
Many aspects of civilization were lost in this world, but the essence of national curses was preserved.
English had "fuck," Japanese "baka," and Huaxia had "sand sculpture." Tang Xian actually preferred using local dialects. However, it wasn't appropriate here; with international friends, one must use national curses—curses had to ensure the other party understood, or it was just self-indulgence.
The short man's military spike didn't aim for a vital spot but pierced Tang Xian's thigh.
The sound of fabric tearing made Tang Xian frown.
Right, his body had been enhanced, but his clothes couldn't withstand the wear and tear.
His trousers had ripped open.
Tang Xian glanced at the short man, thought about how he was posing as a Korean which made it inconvenient to tell his attacker not to tear his clothes, so he just slapped him.
The slap, carrying with it the maximum life value of ten percent, made the short man question his life choices.
A whole row of teeth was spat out.
"Does it feel good? Ssibada."
It was still the first ti hitting soone after activating Unrivaled, and Tang Xian checked—the ten percent of maximum life value might seem like only a tenth was deducted from the opponent's life, but in reality, it was far more humiliating.
It was like if a person lost one-tenth of their blood, they would appear as if they had lost half their life.
Taking advantage of the short man's delayed reaction, Tang Xian landed two more slaps.
The opponent, the assassin, fainted.
Tang Xian really wanted to teach him a lesson, that an assassin should stick to backstabbing; asking for a beating was deserved for getting too close.
Seeing their teammate under attack, the healer and the one with eyes erged from hiding, with only the sniper continuing to take aim.
The western sword thrusted straight at the face, and Tang Xian didn't dodge, rely instinctively closing his eyes before feeling a tickle and realizing the sword tip was pressing against his forehead.
The chain hamr also hit his shoulder, tearing the fabric there.
Tang Xian grabbed the western sword with one hand, and the tall and thin swordsman found he couldn't pull the sword away, no matter how hard he tried.
"I actually would like you to go back and promote my image, say that in Shulin, there resides a humanoid boss far more dangerous than any common mine creature. But then I thought, you'd bring lots of trouble, so it's better if you just die."
As the swordsman attempted to pull away in disbelief, Tang Xian delivered a barrage of slaps.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot rang out.
Feeling a bit of pain on his forehead, Tang Xian figured that his current life value probably wouldn't be affected much by such firearm attacks.
"Armant mine weapons are increasingly becoming lee weapons, the reason being that advanced firearms cannot be used in the mines, as the noise is too loud. It tends to attract a lot of beasts."
Amidst the howling of the three-tailed fox, the sniper hiding in the bushes felt a chill down their spine.
This ti, Tang Xian conversed in English with the sniper in the shadows not too far away.
After pulling the chain hamr away and knocking down both the one with eyes and the healer, he looked at the five people lying on the ground and listened to the distant wailing, showing a friendly smile.
"Shulin is really dangerous. Just because I can play here doesn't an you can."
