mysterious forerunner

Chapter 346 Guan's Secret Technique
Elder Xu has personally verified the effectiveness of this [Five-Sandbox], which is better than Zhang Qingxiang's [Battle of Evolution].

So Zhang Qingxiang was specially called over to be a "consultant".

You have experience in this area. We are all from the Secret Security Bureau. You should work for the public good and not always think about your own little agenda.

Elder Xu is quite experienced in this area, which is called "considering the overall situation"!
Zhang Qingxiang agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, I'll go."

At the same time, I also labeled this old man in my mind: he is not very kind-hearted.

I had just investigated Gan Fengjie, and less than a month later, he had already caused such a thing.

It might be a coincidence that Zheng Tonghe got the [Five Sons Sandbox], but it was definitely not a coincidence that Elder Xu specifically asked him to be a consultant.

Zhang Qingxiang thought about it and decided not to go back to the city. He called the little girl, told her about this, and then bought a plane ticket and flew directly to the capital.

Ye You said angrily: "Bullying!"

Zhang Qingxiang chuckled: "I'm really interested in seeing how they perform!"

The more Ye Yousheng thought about it, the angrier he got. His brother really did what he did, always caring about the public and the overall situation.

As for that old man Xu, he is just putting a big hat on others and his mind is only concerned with his own power.

The little girl was upset for a while, and finally came to a conclusion: "It's all my fault that my master didn't do anything!"

Your third uncle is also an elder, why doesn’t he help your brother?

Your family doesn't help, and you still want to compete with me for your brother? You are so old, but still so naive.

The little girl felt a little better when she thought of Bai Qian being “so old”.

……

Director Hu came to pick us up in person.

There was no need to hide the relationship between him and Zhang Qingxiang anymore.

Even Director Hu has strengthened his ties with Zheng Xingrong in recent times.

He was consciously forming a huge "group" with Zhang Qingxiang as the core.

The person with the highest status in this group is Elder Bai, and Director Hu is consciously strengthening his "weight" in this group.

Zhang Qingxiang got into Director Hu's car, and Director Hu told the driver an address.

Then Director Hu said to Zhang Qingxiang, "Elder Bai wants to see you."

"Okay." Zhang Qingxiang agreed without changing his expression. Director Hu didn't realize that this guy was feeling a little guilty.

Elder Bai lives in a large courtyard built in the 1980s.

The plane trees planted that year have already grown into umbrella-like canopies.

The pine and cypress trees along the wall are as thick as buckets.

Located in a busy city, the courtyard is quiet.

There are several two-story buildings in the middle of the yard. In front of the door is a small yard surrounded by iron fences. There are some roses, beans, eggplants, tomatoes...

Director Hu brought the people over, and Elder Bai was wearing reading glasses and reading documents in the study.

"Xiao Hu, go outside and have some tea."

"Okay, leader."

This was not the first time Zhang Qingxiang met Elder Bai, but it was the first time they met formally.

Elder Bai sat behind the old desk and looked at Zhang Qingxiang with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Zhang Qingxiang secretly thought that it was not good and was afraid that he would be the first to be scolded.

But Elder Bai frowned slightly, and suddenly changed his expression: "We have personally verified the [Five Sons Sandbox], and it is better than your [Evolution Battle]."

Just for a moment, Elder Bai was Bai Qian's elder.

But he can sit in such a high position and will not let "family affection" affect him too much.

Elder Bai knew very well that there were several girls around Zhang Qingxiang.

But [Five Sons Sandbox] is better than [Evolution War], which is the biggest crisis at hand! It is so serious that it may completely destroy the "Elder Bai + Zhang Qingxiang" team, which has just been formed, and their huge lead.

At this time, we should be more united and overcome this difficulty.

Elder Bai did not mention love affairs and did not use his status as an elder to pressure Zhang Qingxiang so as not to destroy unity.

Even if there is only a slight possibility, don't take the risk at this time.

Zhang Qingxiang also treated it seriously and said, "Elder, please introduce the details of the [Five Sons Sandbox]."

“It can actively open up a space in the [Secret Realm], or it may open up a space first and then connect to somewhere in the Secret Realm.

In short, this space is relatively safe for us.

Our outpost is built in this space, and we can choose to set a power limit for this space. Monsters that exceed this power limit cannot enter.

If our strength grows in the future and this upper limit of strength cannot meet our needs, we can also walk out of this space and enter the secret world to hunt.

For us, we can really attack or defend."

Elder Bai paused here for a moment, then emphasized: "We can open up five such spaces in total!"

Zhang Qingxiang did not show any surprise, and asked calmly: "What's the price?"

Elder Bai said: "According to what Zheng Tonghe said, the price is all the weird things we hunted in this space, and this secret object will cost 30%."

"only this?"

"only this."

Zhang Qingxiang raised his eyebrows and praised: "What a good thing!"

Elder Bai was furious: "Don't play tricks on me - what should we do now?"

Zhang Qingxiang smiled: "Are you really worried?"

Elder Bai snorted, relaxed and leaned back on the old rattan chair: “I’m old, I can’t take up a job.

But the mystery has been here for so long, and I have seen hundreds of secret objects.

I have never seen such a high-level secret item with such outstanding effects and such a low price!"

Zhang Qingxiang clapped his hands lightly: "Yes, either there is something wrong with this secret object itself, or Zheng Tonghe concealed some serious side effects."

Then Zhang Qingxiang's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "So... you specially called me here, what's your plan?"

Elder Bai shook his head, feeling that this boy was a little to his liking, and it was less troublesome to talk to him.

"I have to figure it out first. If something happens between Zheng Tong and them, can you handle it?"

Zhang Qingxiang: "You mean, if there is a problem with Zheng Tonghe and his secret object, and it leads to a large-scale mysterious invasion, do I have the ability to deal with it?"

Elder Bai nodded, his expression becoming more solemn: "The General Administration has selected twenty elite agents, and I want you to guarantee that you can at least bring them back alive.

As for Zheng Tong and them, it doesn’t matter.”

Zhang Qingxiang asked, "Can you stop Elder Xu and Zheng Tonghe from opening up a second outpost?"

Elder Bai hesitated, then shook his head helplessly: "No."

Zhang Qingxiang spread his hands and said, "So regardless of whether I have the ability to guarantee the safety of twenty elite colleagues, your plan must proceed."

Elder Bai sighed and stopped talking.

He and Zhang Qingxiang were very sure that this so-called opening of a second base would turn into a disaster.

But without evidence, how can you convince others?
Others will think that you are deliberately making excuses to obstruct this matter.

The old and the young reached a consensus during this meeting, and Elder Bai handed the matter over to Zhang Qingxiang to handle.

Elder Bai stayed in the capital, while Zhang Qingxiang rushed to the northern grassland to meet Zheng Tonghe and others who had set out earlier.

In the subsequent casual conversation, Elder Bai mentioned the names of several people. Zhang Qingxiang realized that they were all "his own people".

The location chosen by Elder Xu is located on the east side of the prairie, which is well within the jurisdiction of the Northeast Bureau.

It is actually the border between grassland and mountains.

The scale of the "Sentinel Army" this time is very large. Although there are only twenty combat personnel responsible for the development, there are more than two hundred other supporting personnel!

These people will build a permanent base at the selected address as quickly as possible.

This address is very remote and rarely visited.

Zhang Qingxiang flew from the capital to the nearest airport. The most convenient way was to take a military helicopter, which would take about two and a half hours to reach the destination.

The current head of the Sentinel Army of "Base No. 2" is Elder Xu's secretary Wang Shiluo.

He is responsible for allocating all resources.

When he heard that Zhang Qingxiang was coming and wanted to use a helicopter, he put on a serious face and said in a businesslike manner, "The transportation capacity is tight right now."

"He's not a key person, just let him come over by car."

"There's no reason to waste precious helicopter capacity just for him!"

The clerks around him felt that it was a bit too much, but they did not dare to object. They could only make a phone call and contact an off-road vehicle to pick Zhang Qingxiang up.

Several people at the scene saw this scene and shook their heads secretly.

They were all Elder Bai's people that Zhang Qingxiang had been told about.

This was not the first time that everyone had experienced the behavior of Elder Xu and the people around him.

……

Zhang Qingxiang was hundreds of kilometers away. When he heard that Wang Shiluo asked him to take a car over, he couldn't help but laugh.

About half of this stretch is paved, and the remaining half is off-road!
By the time I arrived, most of the day had passed, and the [Five Sons Sandbox] had already opened the forward space of the [Secret World].

What is the significance of being a consultant?
Is it just to torment me and then go to see you return triumphantly?
The person sent to pick up Zhang Qingxiang was a young soldier from the truck squad, and the car was also a military off-road vehicle.

He stood straight at attention, standing by the car door.

One face turned red.

Perhaps he couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted loudly: "Report!"

Zhang Qingxiang smiled and waved his hand: "I am not a military officer, you don't have to be so serious."

The young soldier shouted, "Director Zhang, you are a hero in our hearts! The instructors always taught us that heroes should not be treated harshly. It is wrong for them to do this!"

The young soldier obviously had something to say and he felt a lot more relaxed after finishing speaking in one breath.

Zhang Qingxiang felt warm in his heart and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, times have changed. Heroes will not swallow their anger when faced with unfair treatment."

Zhang Qingxiang took out his phone and called Dr. Ma: "Get me a low-altitude flight permit."

Dr. Ma is moving very fast.

Then Zhang Qingxiang released the [Steam Engine Core], and it turned into a steam helicopter with a rumbling sound!

Two thick inverted "L"-shaped exhaust pipes extended from the back of the huge aircraft's head. The exhaust pipes emitted two huge streams of black smoke like a tractor, and then the propellers began to shake and turn.

The young soldier was dumbfounded. Zhang Qing waved at him and said, "Are you interested in becoming my helicopter pilot?" The young soldier's eyes lit up: "Me? Can I? I only know how to drive..."

Zhang Qingxiang dragged him onto the plane, and then the young soldier saw that various control devices on the helicopter's cockpit changed automatically, and soon it was just like driving!

"But my car..."

Zhang Qingxiang patted the steam helicopter. After the plane took off, a hatch opened under the belly of the helicopter. Four mechanical arms extended down, grabbed the off-road vehicle and put it in.

The young soldier looked at all this in disbelief, then sat down in the driving seat of the steam helicopter and refused to leave.

Tremble, tremble, tremble...

The huge fuselage made a maneuver in mid-air, and the two exhaust pipes spewed out more black smoke, as if it was about to exceed its limit at any time, but it held on and flew towards its destination at high speed.

……

Wang Shiluo looked at a flat grassland not far ahead.

Zheng Tonghe and twenty elite agents are ready to launch the [Five-son Sandbox] at any time.

In fact, it can be started as soon as we arrive here, but we still need to prepare various formations on the periphery.

If something unexpected happens, these formations can ensure that the mysterious disaster will not spread too much.

Wang Shiluo wanted to skip this process, but the General Administration was not controlled by Elder Xu alone.

In this team, besides Elder Xu's men, there are also Elder Bai and another elder's confidants.

With both parties strongly opposing, Wang Shiluo had no choice but to follow the regulations and set up the sealing formation first.

A few hours later, everything was ready.

Wang Shiluo was extremely pleased. Thinking back to the days when Gan Fengjie had an accident not long ago, he and everyone in Elder Xu's faction had kept their tails between their legs.

At that time, the faces of Elder Bai's subordinates were so hateful!
Now, with just one word from Elder Xu, even Zhang Qingxiang had to run across half the country from the northwest.

Hehe, he can’t catch up yet!

Wang Shiluo pressed the intercom in his hand: "Zheng Tonghe, let's start——"

Zheng Tonghe didn't hear clearly what he said because of the huge noise coming from the sky.

Helicopters are noisy enough, let alone an exceptionally large steam helicopter.

Boom boom boom boom!

This is the sound of a steam engine.

Tremble, tremble, tremble...

This is the sound of the propeller.

In the vicinity of the entire "Base No. 2", anyone who wants to say something to the person next to them has to lie down and shout in the other person's ear.

Wang Shiluo was furious: "What the hell!"

The steam helicopter is exceptionally quiet and the ride is extremely comfortable!
Wang Shiluo shouted to the soldiers around him: "Knock him down for me!"

The soldier pointed to his ears to indicate that he couldn't hear what he said.

Wang Shiluo was so angry that he yelled, "You idiots, did you all grow up eating shit?"

He thought that with such a loud noise, no one would be able to hear him even if he shouted at the highest decibel.

As a result, just as he shouted, Zhang Qingxiang just took away the [Steam Engine Core], grabbed the little soldier's arm, and the two of them floated down.

It suddenly went from extremely noisy to extremely quiet.

That vulgar curse was heard clearly by everyone present, even Zheng Tonghe who was far away was stunned.

There was an awkward silence at the scene. The faces of the soldiers around him turned red. They took several deep breaths before they calmed down. Then they didn't even look at Wang Shiluo again.

Wang Shiluo forced an explanation: "I just lost control of my emotions, not targeting anyone."

Zhang Qingxiang snorted coldly: "A clown."

Then he walked straight towards Zheng Tonghe, completely ignoring Wang Shiluo.

This time it was Wang Shiluo's turn to blush and shout, "Zhang Qingxiang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Qingxiang glanced back at him and said calmly, "I'm not targeting anyone."

Wang Shiluo: …

Many people around showed pleased expressions.

Zhang Qingxiang came to Zheng Tonghe and asked, "Where are the things?"

Zheng Tonghe frowned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Qingxiang spoke again: "Leave it to me."

Wang Shiluo and other people from Elder Xu's faction sneered inwardly.

Zhang Qingxiang, you are asking for trouble. Who do you think you are? Zheng Tonghe is not your subordinate. You are the director of the former municipal bureau. Zheng Tonghe is also a director, with the same rank as you.

Why should people listen to your orders?

But soon Wang Shiluo and others widened their eyes and dropped their jaws.

Veins bulged on Zheng Tonghe's face and hands, as if he was trying his best to resist, but his body was out of control. He stiffly and slowly took out a secret object, which was the [Five-Piece Sandbox]!
Wang Shiluo was furious: "Zheng Tonghe, what are you doing?!"

Zheng Tonghe didn't know what was going on. He was about to defend himself when he suddenly realized that saying that he "couldn't control himself" at this time was tantamount to admitting that there was a huge gap in strength between himself and Zhang Qingxiang.

Zheng Tonghe gave up resistance and handed the [Five-Sandbox] to Zhang Qingxiang, then said to Wang Shiluo: "If he wants to see it, let him see it. I believe Director Zhang will not interfere and hinder this operation. After all, Director Zhang has always boasted of his big picture, and the establishment of Base No. 2 will greatly enhance the overall strength of the Secret Security Bureau."

"laugh--"

I don’t know who couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Zheng Tong and you will make excuses.

It was obvious that he was unable to resist, but he still handed over the secret object, and he could still make such a high-sounding statement and even use words to pressure Zhang Qingxiang.

Zhang Qingxiang ignored Zheng Tonghe's words, took the [Five-Piece Sandbox], and threw a [Treasure Appraisal] on it.

Then the feedback Zhang Qingxiang received was: Identification failed!

Wang Shiluo and several key figures from Elder Xu's faction came over. Seeing Zhang Qingxiang's strange expression, he immediately pressed him, "Director Zhang, what do you think?"

You are a consultant, but you insist on seeing other people's high-level secret objects, as if you were robbing them. So what on earth did you see?
You do speak.

Zhang Qingxiang glanced coldly at Wang Shiluo, who had a hypocritical smile on his face.

People like Wang Shiluo may not have strong working abilities, but their ability to read people's expressions must be superb.

It can be seen that [Five Sons Sandbox] is very different from Zhang Qingxiang's expectations.

Why are they so different? Wang Shiluo judged that before Zhang Qingxiang came, he must have believed that [Five Sons Sandbox] could not possibly replace [Battle of Evolution].

But when he took it in his hand and took a look, it turned out to be real, and his face changed drastically.

Wang Shiluo was secretly complacent and his face was very hateful.

After being glared at by Zhang Qingxiang, Wang Shiluo did not back down and instead asked even more fiercely, "Director Zhang, why are you silent?"

Zhang Qingxiang looked at him coldly and said, "Why don't you tell us what Elder Xu's purpose is in fully supporting this plan? Who is he targeting?"

Wang Shiluo curled his lips, wanting to sneer in response.

Of course I know Elder Xu's plan, and you all know it too. But how could I possibly say it out in public like this?

But before he could sneer, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from nowhere, as if it had descended from the sky and transformed into countless invisible little snakes, earthworms, leeches... which drilled into every acupoint in his body. It was also like a vast ocean, drowning him and seeping into every pore of his body.

He was a third-level professional, but this power easily overwhelmed his will and manipulated everything about him.

Wang Shiluo spoke mechanically and stiffly, his tongue clumsily, his voice stumbling: "Elder Xu said that this time we are fighting Zhang Qingxiang and his [Evolution War]!
As long as the No. 2 outpost base is established, all the resources around Zhang Qingxiang can be immediately seized.

Zhang Qingxiang dared to touch our people and didn't give us face, so this time we won't give them any face at all. We want to let the entire Secret Security Bureau see clearly how ridiculous Zhang Qingxiang's project is compared to ours!
This kid named Zhang really doesn’t know his place. He’s just a director of a city bureau and he dares to interfere in our fight with old man Bai…”

Zheng Tonghe's face changed. This was exactly the same as what he saw just now!

He clearly didn't want to hand over the [Five-Sandbox], but Zhang Qingxiang handed it over at just one word.

It was impossible for them to reveal the secret discussions behind the scenes, but Zhang Qingxiang revealed everything in just one sentence...

Zheng Tonghe slapped Wang Shiluo hard on the face without hesitation to stop him from continuing.

Wang Shiluo staggered after being hit, his eyes full of anger but he kept talking: "...This time we are going to let the little guy surnamed Zhang see what the dust of history is. It is like a mountain on the heads of ordinary people..."

You still say!
Zheng Tonghe rushed forward and pinched his mouth, finally stopping Wang Shiluo.

Wang Shiluo was obviously relieved. Stop me now.

Zheng Tonghe looked at Zhang Qingxiang grimly, guessing that Zhang Qingxiang must have used some advanced secret technique unknown to outsiders.

He really wanted to blame Zhang Qingxiang, saying that it was ungraceful of you to do this!
You can just use it on me. Wang Shiluo is only at the third level. You are bullying the weak.

But Zheng Tonghe was afraid that Zhang Qingxiang would really have no shame, and if he accused him, Zhang Qingxiang would turn around and hit him again!
So... I endured it...

The hundreds of people present were whispering and pointing at Wang Shiluo and Zheng Tonghe.

The second sentence Zhang Qingxiang said to Zheng Tonghe just now, "Leave it to me", used a very rare secret technique from his previous life, called [Words Come True].

The name sounds very domineering, and the actual effect is also very... domineering.

But this secret technique has a big limitation, which is that it can only be effective against targets that are at least one major realm lower than itself.

That is to say, when the [Command Realm] uses [Words Come True], it is only effective against the [Transcendent Realm].

When [Domination Realm] is used, it is only effective against [Command Realm].

In the same realm, for example, everyone is in the [Transcendent Realm], even a ninth level is useless against a first level.

If the [Domination Realm] faces the [Command Realm], it would be a pure crushing defeat. Why would one need to specially practice such a secret technique?
Therefore, this "words come true" is actually a secret technique used to show off.

Its creator is named... Guan Xuanbai!

This extremely high-class name also came from Guan Xuanbaiqi.

Zhang Qingxiang had never had the opportunity to use this secret technique before, and today these two guys just happened to run into him.

Zheng Tonghe grabbed Wang Shiluo's mouth tightly and quickly asked Zhang Qingxiang: "Director Zhang, if you have no other questions, please return the [Five Sons Sandbox] to me. We are going to open up the second outpost base."

Zhang Qingxiang was playing with this secret object in his hand, wondering why the [Treasure Appraisal] had failed.

One's own [Treasure Appraisal] can appraise secret objects that are five levels higher than one's own.

And now he is at the first level of [Domination Realm].

Even if it is a secret object at the level of [True God], I should be able to identify it.

Could it be that the gap between [Dominator] and [True God] weakens the ability of [Treasure Appraisal], and this [Five-Seed Sandbox] is a secret item of the True God level?
But I had never heard of this problem in my previous life.

If this factor is excluded, why would my [Treasure Appraisal] become ineffective?

unless……

Zhang Qingxiang thought of a possibility: this thing is not a secret object!
