39: Chapter 39 Qinqin, move!

After Fang Xun greeted the few girls, he plopped down onto the living room sofa, sitting right next to Shen Yue.

With guests all over the house, it would be too presumptuous for him to go back to his room alone.

As soon as he sat down, Fang Xun glanced at the game equipment. Good, it was an NS. He wouldn't have to worry about seeing any illicit scenes later.

Just as he settled in, thinking about waiting for dinner.

Jiang Qin's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

"Brother, we're out of ginger at home. Brother, can you take the electric scooter to the nearby wet market and buy some?"

"Okay."

Fang Xun responded. Buying ginger was totally his specialty; he would definitely buy ginger that was big and beautiful.

"Then I'm heading out!"

Fang Xun called out and was about to leave. But just then, Qi Lian, who was still standing there, suddenly called out to him.

"Big Brother, let's go together. I happen to have nothing else to do."

"Eh? Sure!" Fang Xun's pupils shook. In a gala game, it seemed to be just like this.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaotang's voice drifted from the kitchen.

"Oh my, Qin Qin, I've finished chopping the vegetables. What should I do next? Qin Qin, Qin Qin?"

"Hey, Qin Qin, isn't there ginger right here?"

"Brother went out for nothing, hehe."

"Hey, Qin Qin, why aren't you moving, Qin Qin?"

"Qin Qin, move a little!"

"Oh... Ohh..."

Fang Xun didn't hear the commotion; he had already walked out the door with Qi Lian.

While going downstairs, Fang Xun, whose body was somewhat tense, almost tripped down the stairs.

Qi Lian pulled him just in time, steadying him.

This is bad. In a gala game, it really seems to be like this.

"Big Brother, how do we get there?" Qi Lian asked proactively after they were downstairs.

"Hmm. Wait for me to go ride the electric scooter."

Fang Xun said, then went to the garage and brought the scooter over.

Beep beep beep, Fang Xun rode the electric scooter over.

He was wearing a green helmet on his head.

In his hand, he held a pink helmet, which Jiang Qin usually wore. He would let Qi Lian use it for now.

"Put it on, put it on, so the traffic police don't catch us. It's twenty yuan each time."

Fang Xun said as he handed the helmet to Qi Lian.

He was certainly not like Tang Xiaotang, who trampled on traffic rules, treating her demerit points like a travel pass.

"Come on, sit behind. Hold on tight, and we'll set off."

"Mm, okay."

Qi Lian nodded and sat behind Fang Xun, putting on the helmet.

"Hold on tight, Big Brother."

Once prepared, Qi Lian alerted Fang Xun.

"Alright, let's go!"

Fang Xun said, then rode the electric scooter out with a beeping sound.

At the entrance, Old Man Wang saw that Fang Xun was finally taking a girl out and showed an expression of appreciation.

Fang Xun had practically grown up under his watch for seventeen years.

On the way to buy ginger with Qi Lian, Fang Xun again paid attention to that feeling of being spied upon.

But this time, the feeling of being spied upon had vanished.

"Was it just my imagination?" Fang Xun muttered uncertainly.

"What's wrong, Big Brother?" Qi Lian asked curiously upon hearing him.

"Nothing, nothing. The wet market is very close; we'll be there soon."

"Mm-hmm."

Qi Lian responded.

Behind Fang Xun's back, where he couldn't see, Qi Lian looked up, gazing intently at Fang Xun.

So close, so close that she could crush his spine with a reach of her hand.

But...

"Qi Lian, let me tell you, I know all the vendors around here like the back of my hand. Stick close to me later. If there's anything you want to buy, I'll help you bargain.

I'll definitely get you the best deal."

"Mm, Big Brother."

"Oh right, buying ginger. Maybe other things at home are running out too. I should call and ask Jiang Qin."

"Mm, Big Brother."

"Hey, there seems to be some movement up ahead."

"Mm, Big Brother."

"Holy crap, wait, no! How is there a Remnant Beasts here?"

Didn't the government just install the Spatial Stabilization System in the residential area recently? There shouldn't be any dimensional rifts.

Not good, run!"

Fang Xun stopped the electric scooter abruptly upon seeing the commotion in the street ahead, turned the vehicle around, and fled.

In the block where the Remnant Beasts appeared, Special Warfare Team Members from the nearby police outpost were already responding.

Just as Fang Xun turned the electric scooter around, he heard the 'da da da' sound of gunfire.

Ever since his sister became closely involved with the Special Affairs Bureau.

Fang Xun knew that some residual special effects would be left on the items he handled.

Although the effects were inconsistent, they were extremely useful to the Special Affairs Bureau.

Therefore, Fang Xun was more inclined to leave behind as many things as possible after every opportunity he had to act.

Simply put, Fang Xun had started playing for item drops.

As a result, the firepower of the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau had become increasingly ferocious.

They were even able to equip every Special Warfare Team Member with a full set of gear, which was outrageously luxurious.

Correspondingly, the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau's say had also risen.

At least the previous 9-to-1 split situation would no longer occur.

He didn't know exactly how Wei Heng negotiated with the higher-ups.

But no matter how luxurious the equipment was, it still needed people to use it.

The police force in Dongcheng City was clearly stretched thin.

But why is some passerby drawing a gun and charging in? And plainclothes officers too?

As soon as the gunfire erupted over there, the alarm started blaring, 'Ow ow ow!'

Hearing that wailing sound, Fang Xun twisted the throttle of his electric scooter to the absolute maximum.

The electric scooter, with a top speed of twenty-five mph, emitted a furious, buzzing whine from its motor.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm going super fast!"

Fang Xun said while watching the road, trying to comfort the girl behind him.

He hoped she wouldn't be too scared.

However, a slightly confused voice came from behind him.

"Big Brother, aren't you going to help?" Qi Lian tilted her head, genuinely puzzled.

"It's better not to cause trouble," Fang Xun clicked his tongue. If he could control his abilities freely, he would have already become a happy superhero.

"Oh."

Qi Lian nodded lightly.

A moment later, Fang Xun heard a shriek from behind him.

A Remnant Beasts called the Scythe Demon, resembling a praying mantis, viciously tore apart several cars blocking the road and directly spread its wings to fly over.

"Damn your ancestors!"

Fang Xun didn't have time to dodge, but with quick eyes and hands, he wrenched the handlebars, steering the electric scooter directly into the softest part of the roadside greenery.

Although he was thrown off, he had at least avoided the Scythe Demon's attack.

"Qi Lian, Qi Lian, are you okay, Qi Lian?!"

Fang Xun quickly scrambled up from the green belt, not even taking time to brush off the dirt, his gaze quickly sweeping around.

Fortunately, Qi Lian was fine; she had fallen right next to him.

"Get up, let's go!"

This place was definitely a hot spot.

Although Fang Xun didn't quite understand, that Scythe Demon looked like it was coming for him.

Just like that cat a few hours ago.

"I'm fine."

Qi Lian responded softly, already being pulled up by her arm by Fang Xun.

At this moment, the Scythe Demon, having failed its initial strike, flapped its wings again.

In an instant, it flew over.

Fang Xun pulled Qi Lian over, shielding her behind him.

"Don't move! Squat down!"

Fang Xun gritted his teeth.

This time, he was completely unprepared.
