Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 13

[13. Chapter 13: Secretly (Please recommend)]

“Second brother, fourth brother?”

The burly man’s eyes suddenly turned red, and the long sword in his hand let out a dragon roar, flashing a sword light several inches in the darkness, and slashed with the sword!
Puff!
The long sword slashed through the wild boar monster, leaving a long bloody wound.

An injury that would be fatal to a human was completely insignificant to this pig demon, and instead aroused its ferocity.

Huff huff!

It raised its hooves high and stomped down hard!

Boom!

The ground shook like an earthquake.

A circle of ochre-colored light emerged and quickly spread around.

The third brother was directly enveloped by the light, and several earth spears appeared on his chest, nailing him to the ground.

“The third one?!”

The burly man knew he was doomed this time, so he stopped hesitating and took out a bright yellow talisman from the animal hide bag on his chest and tore it open with great care.

Dang!
A circle of golden light appeared around him, vaguely forming the shape of a large golden bell.

Several earth spears fell on the golden bell, making a dull sound.

After activating this hard-earned “Golden Bell Cover Talisman”, the burly man no longer hesitated and turned around and ran!
In the darkness, a ball of golden light was running desperately in front, and a huge black shadow with blood-red fangs was chasing behind, which was extremely eye-catching.

After the two left, the sound of propellers turning suddenly came from the air.

A small black drone landed, stretched out its mechanical claws, picked up some small objects on the ground, and quickly disappeared into the night.

…

Temporary camp.

“Sword light? That person’s strength is indeed at the level of a rough jade. In addition to this, he actually has talismans? What kind of…cultivation? Taoism?”

Fang Xing looked at the surveillance video with a shocked expression on his face, then looked up at the sky.

“Here I come.”

He maneuvered the drone to land and reached out to take the grabbed debris.

“As expected of a drone from the interstellar era, it is not only cheap, but its endurance and carrying capacity have also been greatly enhanced…”

With a sigh, Fang Xing put on rubber gloves and began to sort the items.

Among them, the most dazzling thing is naturally a few ‘Red Dragon Grass’!
After all, these people even lost their lives for it, so it must be a good thing.

“Well, there are quite a lot of extraordinary species around here. There seem to be some strange herbs near their nests…”

Fang Xing looked at the Zhulong grass, touched his chin, and suddenly thought of a way to make money.

That is to use drones to pick various rare herbs!
There are many advantages to doing this, first of all, it is concealed enough!

Drones are dead objects to many wild animals and are difficult to detect.

In addition, he has the ability to fly, move quickly, and do things stealthily,
so his success rate is very high! Of course, if he is seen by a monster, he will definitely be destroyed.

But this involves another advantage – cheap!
Even if it is discovered by the monster, at most one drone will be lost.

In Maple Leaf City, this is almost equivalent to a child’s toy, and the price is very cheap.

“Give it a try, and the bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.”

Fang Xing sighed and looked at the other sundries.

Not much was looted, including a jet-black dagger, which gleamed coldly when it was pulled out, and was obviously extremely sharp.

In addition, there is a small purse.

The purse seemed to be made of tanned animal skin, and was gray and inconspicuous.

After tearing open the bag, three pieces of strange ores and four strange crystals the size of rice grains were found inside.

“This pocket is tied very tightly. It’s obvious that the original owner was afraid that these grains of sand would be accidentally lost…”

Fang Xing placed a crystal in front of him and examined it carefully. He found that the crystal was as transparent as jade and there seemed to be a cloud of mist in it.

In addition, with the help of external light, it seems to be shrouded in a layer of illusory and blurry colorful luster.

“You can tell at a glance that it must be a good thing.”

He put his things away and looked at a large map on the electronic screen.

After a few days of exploration, Fang Xing had a general understanding of the surroundings.

“There are many extraordinary species and many ferocious beasts… It’s a dangerous place.”

“Considering the route these four people took today, the direction of the human gathering point should be east?”

“Go back and buy a few more toy airplanes and explore the East…”

With a thought, Fang Xing set up the automatic cruise and released the drone again.

Then, he counted to three seconds silently in his heart, and a silver-white light appeared before his eyes.

The light became so bright that it engulfed him entirely.

When I came to my senses again, I was already standing in the bedroom.

“It is known that I can now travel to another world at will. It only takes three seconds to delay and does not require any other consumption…”

“As for the place of crossing, it seems to be based on my current location?”

“Finally, items from this world, even living white mice, can be brought to the other world, and things from the other world can also be brought here…”

Fang Xing looked at his palm, and the small purse was lying quietly in his palm.

“It’s a good thing, but unfortunately I don’t dare to take it out for appraisal, let alone sell it…”

“In fact, the supplies we purchased previously were a bit strange. If we purchase in large quantities next time…”

Although the Federation attaches great importance to privacy, citizens are free to purchase anything as long as it is not on the list of prohibited items.

But Fang Xing habitually wanted to hide something.

“Maybe I should go outdoors more often and create a persona of an outdoor survival geek?”

“Now that we are only buying and not selling, the problem is not too big…”

He confirmed one thing again, or the principle of future actions – items from another world must not be sold under this public identity!
“It seems… I still can’t avoid the black market.”

Fang Xing sighed.

…

Oak Park.

There are endless green vegetation and lawns, and colorful flowers in the flower beds at the edges.

It was night and the lights were dim.

There are few pedestrians on the road paved with colorful cobblestones. There are long benches at regular intervals, shaped like various small animals.

Because of its quiet environment and beautiful scenery, it has always been a favorite place for couples in Maple Leaf City.

Liu Wei was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, waiting anxiously, when suddenly a soft and gentle voice came to his ears: “Ah Wei, I’m here…”

“Lian…Lian Yi.”

Liu Wei seemed startled, and then seemed to want to hide the flowers behind him, but he felt like he was trying to cover up a crime, and was extremely embarrassed.

“What do you want me to do?” Bai Lianyi was not wearing her usual training clothes, but had changed into a clean white dress, which made her look even more graceful.

“I…I…”

Liu Wei seemed to have made a lot of psychological preparations, and finally spoke: “I have thought it through very clearly. I don’t like Ouyang Qianqian, but…”

Bai Lianyi had a smile and loneliness in her eyes. She shook her finger to stop Liu Wei from continuing: “No way…”

“Why? Is it because of what happened to you in the Brilliant Jiang Mansion? I know, I know everything. I’m not a fool… I just… don’t mind…”

Liu Wei’s face suddenly turned red, and even the pimples on his face seemed to be shaking.

“What’s there to mind? I’m just dating a rich boyfriend…” Bai Lianyi answered frankly: “I’m not stupid. I can’t say the same thing as those annoying girls.”

Liu Wei was speechless.

Indeed, this is what he found out from his investigation.

Bai Lianyi was not as bad as those female classmates said, but there were some other things about her.

For example, the other party’s rich boyfriend is a bit old…

‘It seems that in the minds of white people, finding a sugar daddy is not a big deal, especially for academic purposes, it even feels a bit inspiring…’

An inexplicable thought came to Liu Wei’s mind, and he promised: “I swear, I will treat you well, I will be admitted to university, I…”

As he was speaking, he suddenly got stuck, because the boy really had nothing and was even in debt.

All we can give is the future and hope!

But none of these can compare to what is happening now!
This is the young boy’s miserable first love!

“Um……”

Bai Lianyi twisted her fingers: “I will cheer for you, and Ah Xing…”

“Axing?”

Liu Wei had an inexplicable feeling: “Why did you mention him?”

“Because…” There seemed to be light in the girl’s eyes: “Ah Xing is so amazing… He has cultivated the Great Dragon Pillar to the second stage. There is a great possibility that he will be admitted to university in the future.”

“I……”

Liu Wei suddenly fell silent. He felt like a loser.

Compared to now, I can’t compare to that person.

When it comes to the future, I can’t compare to Axing.

I clearly didn’t mind and even admired the girl in front of me and wanted to give her some protection, so why did things turn out like this?

He felt hopeless for a moment, and didn’t know what he said, and staggered away.

…

The night wind was cold and the place was completely silent.

The monitor above the park street lamp made a clicking sound, as if there was a short circuit.

A black shadow suddenly appeared behind Bai Lianyi, as if it had been observing everything silently.

“Okay, I have successfully stirred up his resentment… If you come to him now, use Fang Xing as a comparison, and invest in him, he will definitely accept it.”

Bai Lianyi’s voice is clear and cold, like the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain.

“Well, in this way, we have one more partner. I believe that after seeing those great people, he will definitely agree.”

The shadow made a deep and rich voice: “But compared to this, I am more optimistic about his classmate.”

Bai Lianyi frowned slightly, “Xia Long is more concerned about Fang Xing, and he has been staying at home recently and not working. I threw bait through Liu Wei several times but he didn’t take the bait. It’s a bit strange. Could he be scared by the last messenger’s arrival?”

“It’s not impossible… the spiritual impact brought by the messenger can even subtly and completely change a person.”

The black shadow was silent for a while, and then replied: “If that’s the case, then it’s useless and has no value… The talents we need must at least pass the college entrance examination in the future to have a chance of becoming a senior member of the Federation!”

“But this kind of thing may require a long, long wait…”

Bai Lianyi sighed.

The average life expectancy of people in the Federation is very long now, and this is especially true at higher levels.

Martial arts is only the cheapest way to evolve, but it can also greatly prolong life after reaching the fourth realm.

Self-evolution, genetic surgery, medicine, superpowers…all kinds of life-extending methods allow the federal upper echelons to rule for an extremely long time.

“Hehe… To those great beings, time is completely meaningless!”

The shadow’s voice gradually became lower and lower, and finally disappeared…
