57: Chapter 57 The capital is a good place

Zhao Xiongxiong's eyes were filled with rage.

He couldn't figure out how someone dared to humiliate the young master of the Zhao family in this godforsaken place.

Pei Ruanruan was one thing; her family background was indeed deep.

But in this broken place, whose family background could be thicker than his, Zhao Overlord's?

Just as Zhao Xiongxiong was venting his anger, intending to smash the nearby trash can to pieces, his phone suddenly vibrated.

“Captain Wu, what is it?”

Seeing the message from Wu Ming, Zhao Xiongxiong quickly suppressed his temper first and spoke respectfully to the captain opposite him.

“Go to the Special Affairs Bureau? Outside the city? To watch the battle? Watch what battle? What?!”

Zhao Xiongxiong's pupils trembled.

Weren't they supposed to arrive in a few days? How could it be so soon?

That Taotie...

...

...

“Sis.”

Fang Xun, who was buying groceries, looked at the call from his sister. Although his tone was flat, the corners of his mouth were about to reach his ears.

His sister called him proactively~

“Ah? You’re not coming back for lunch?”

Fang Xun's voice suddenly weakened a bit.

“Alright then, you be busy.

Mm-hmm, I’ll order takeout; I won’t cook myself.

Okay.

What about tonight?

Eating at school? You made plans with Tang Xiaotang and the others?

Alright then.”

The call ended, and Fang Xun lost his grip on the vegetable basket, letting it fall to the ground.

Fang Xun slowly picked up the vegetable basket and slowly walked back home.

If his sister wasn't coming back to cook, what was the point of buying vegetables?

Just as Fang Xun turned back, he saw a group of people whizzing past him on shared electric scooters.

It was the same group he had just thrown the trash can at.

It seemed they had been refused a ride by a taxi; serves them right.

If it were him, he would also refuse to give a ride to those filthy idiots.

Damn it, the angrier he thought, the angrier he became.

Just then, Qi Lian sent him a message.

“Brother, the instructor suddenly left, and Qin Qin and Xiao Tang left too. Are they going to fight monsters, Brother? Do you want to go?”

Looking at the message, Fang Xun’s eyes immediately lit up.

Good Lian Lian, such an insider! He thought his sister disliked him.

And on Fang Xun’s shoulder, the Flower Branch Rat's eyes also lit up.

Good Young Miss! They should lure that brat over! Let the Great King utterly destroy him!

“Good Lian Lian, Lian Lian is so thoughtful, I’m coming right over!”

After saying that, Fang Xun clutched his vegetable basket and quickly ran towards home.

Come on, my toys.

This time, the things I spent a fortune to create can finally be used!

In just a moment, Fang Xun was back at his doorstep.

However, Fang Xun didn't go to the home where he usually lived, but came to the door opposite.

Fang Xun reached out and unlocked the coded door with his fingerprint.

With a creak, the door opened.

Instead of the musty smell of a room that hadn't been opened for long, there was a fresh scent.

The curtains in this room had always been drawn.

From the outside, nothing inside could be seen.

At this moment, as Fang Xun entered, the lights turned on one by one, as if some mysterious ritual was beginning.

And in the very center of the room, several giant glass cabinets were displayed.

Emperor Hero, Time King, Immortal Slaying Four Swords...

Besides this pile of items,

There was also the set of armor and helmet that Fang Xun had just finished ordering.

Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, Chainmail Golden Armor, Lotus Silk Cloud-Stepping Boots.

And that one, the Ruyi golden-hooped rod.

On the cabinet, a monkey-face mask cover was also hanging.

“Monkey Brother.”

Fang Xun touched the golden-hooped rod and unconsciously let out a laugh.

Fang Xun had actually hesitated for a long time. Besides the monkey, he had customized other equipment. In terms of magnitude, each one possessed world-shattering power.

In detail, none of them were weaker than the monkey's.

But in the end, Fang Xun placed his hand on the glass cabinet containing the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's attire.

“Play with me one more time, clear away those minor demons, and let my sister come home for dinner.”

...

...

On the other side of the city, troop carriers had arrived outside the city.

This was the northernmost part of the city, also the direction from which the Taotie had come.

Wei Heng was present in person, standing in the center of these troops.

Beside him were Wu Ming and the other team members, a large group of over a dozen people, all looking solemn.

As for Lu Li, she had already rushed to the very front, becoming the first line of defense.

“She’s still fighting so hard.”

Wu Ming stood beside Wei Heng, looking at the figure ahead that was barely visible as a small dot.

“If she didn't fight hard, she wouldn't have ended up in Dongcheng City,” Wei Heng replied calmly.

“How much do you guys actually know about that Senior?” Wu Ming asked again.

“Not much. Right now, we only know that he cares deeply about Jiang Qin. As long as Jiang Qin is here, he will be here.”

“Hmm. No wonder Jiang Qin, who just became a Psionic Armor Adept, was immediately assigned to the front line by you,” Wu Ming snorted, as if mocking something.

“No,” Wei Heng shook his head. “Dongcheng City cannot compare to the Imperial Capital.

Even without that Senior, Jiang Qin would still stand on the front line.

Dongcheng has no one, no strength.

If Lu Li hadn't held things together all these years, Dongcheng might have already become one of those vanished cities.

I am very happy to have Jiang Qin now.”

Wu Ming nodded indifferently upon hearing this. “Come to the Imperial Capital. The General Bureau still has a few spots open. Jiang Qin and you will both receive treatment far superior to what you have in Dongcheng City in the Imperial Capital.

You, the branch director here, can be transferred to an equivalent position.

More power, more people to manage, and much safer.”

“What about Dongcheng?” Wei Heng asked lightly.

“Many people want your current position,” Wu Ming said, completely unconcerned. Many people wanted to advance.

If Wei Heng left, a newcomer would naturally fill his spot.

“Forget it. Lu Li came from the Imperial Capital,” Wei Heng chuckled. “Lu Li won’t leave, and neither will I.

If you can persuade Jiang Qin, then go persuade her yourself.

I will not stop you.”

“You said that?” Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. Wei Heng and Lu Li were just secondary figures; a director from a small place and a former A-rank held little value.

Only Jiang Qin, or rather, the person behind Jiang Qin, was the purpose of his visit.

As long as Wei Heng didn't interfere, he was absolutely confident he could bring Jiang Qin to the Imperial Capital.

Who could possibly resist the temptation of the Imperial Capital?

“Yes, I said it. Alright, the vanguard of that Taotie has arrived. If you aren't going to help, stand in the back,” Wei Heng said, snapping his fingers lightly.

A set of ink-colored battle armor appeared on his body.

The mecha piloted by Yu Zheng had already charged toward the battlefield.

Beside him, streaks of spiritual light flashed—this was the radiance of Psionic Power: Bloom.

These dozen or so people bloomed together, leaping toward the killing field.

They were the decapitation unit, targeting only the high-level Remnant Beastss.

As for the low-level Remnant Beastss, the Special Warfare Team Members would handle them.

Wu Ming looked to the side. Those few were students from Dongcheng University; some were even still wearing their Dongcheng University military training uniforms.

These children had also arrived at the front line.

Of course, his main focus was on the girl who was emitting a jade-green light.

“Truly a Genius. She should have stayed in the Imperial Capital.”
