Above Destiny

Chapter 405 Then let me ask you!

The short days of summer quickly fade away with the passage of time.

After another rain shower, the night climbed up the sky, and the darkness surged like a spring, covering the world. Then, lights that did not belong to the wilderness lit up one by one.

Bright lights.

Unlike other settlements, Xinquan became even busier and more noisy after nightfall. Since the large-scale night market opened, many people from other settlements came to consume, and the food stalls under the shed were almost full.

There are even more people who have just received temporary residence permits issued by the management team and found a place to stay in the pigeon cages. At this moment, they are watching the hustle and bustle and are wandering around curiously.

Squatting beside the stall, pointing at pots and pans, seasonings, or even porn movies, and bargaining with the stall owner.

The garbage collectors who had just settled their wages drove their empty tricycles and spent a lot of money in front of the food stalls, stir-fried noodles with meat, pork liver, and two eggs. The food stalls, which mainly sell good quality and low prices, had wisps of smoke rising from them. With the sound of spatulas rubbing against each other, the food was served immediately, plus two glasses of draft beer mixed with water, for just one meal ticket from the Coast Canteen.

Yes, meal tickets.

Due to the hassle of inspecting gold sand and the inconvenience of small transactions, someone at a stall suddenly came up with the idea to launch a service that would allow Coast to settle consumption vouchers and meal tickets for internal employees. It became popular instantly... and it became unstoppable.

After all, gold sand can be adulterated, and if you receive fake ones you can blame it on your poor eyesight, but if the tickets on the coast are fake... haha, then someone will suffer!
Moreover, apart from Ji Jue, there is no other company in the world that is extravagant enough to use spiritual alchemical watermarks that are not even found on small-denomination banknotes to print tickets in the factory.

This situation, which had violated many laws to some extent, soon became widespread, so much so that after Ji Jue heard about it, he couldn't help but flip through Lu Ling's economics textbook in the middle of the night, and a lot of crazy ideas popped up in his mind...

Unfortunately, the garbage collectors have very little money and can't get much out of them.

Had to give up.

But this did not prevent Ji Jue from responding to the requests of some suppliers. When settling the payment for the goods, he would open a small window opposite to exchange canteen meal tickets.

The millet rice from the coast is nutritious!
After the emergence of "currency", the scale of the morning and evening markets suddenly became larger and larger, and they seemed more prosperous.

There is a big fair almost every day.

"Hey, it's almost the same as the suburbs of the city."

In the room behind the window, the peeper lifted the curtains and looked at the bustling corner of the market, half envious and half jealous, "Is Coast making a fortune?"

"A corner booth only costs 25 yuan a day, and the management fee is 5 yuan. The middle booth is a little more expensive, but it's limited, and there's no commission... It's like there's something wrong with my brain."

Wan Wu, who was smoking beside the table, sneered: "You are hoping to win people's hearts with this little bit of bargaining power. That's wishful thinking."

"Wow? Is this true?" The peeper was surprised: "Isn't this a living saint?"

"This is where his brilliance lies..."

Hearing their conversation, the man who was dozing on the armchair raised one eye and sneered, "At least half of the goods here, whether it's daily necessities or vegetables and meat, are from the coastal channels - the things that are about to expire or can't be sold in the city, are swiped left and right, and the price here is at least several times higher.

But apart from here, there is no other place where you can spend money... everyone is working for someone named Ji!
The wages paid by Hai'an were taken back within two days. He didn't even have to pay for his wages, and others were grateful to him and worked hard for him, fearing that he would suddenly quit one day.

You've made the money, but you still have a reputation. Your boss needs to learn this skill from you!"

For a moment, the room fell into silence, and the bustle outside the window became even louder.

Xinquan Restaurant.

Xinquan's leading hotels and guesthouses have won praise from the vast majority of travelers for their accommodation that is worse than that in the city and almost non-existent services.

Any garbage collector who has spent money would say: If I had known this earlier, I would have just slept on the street.

However, this is the only hotel open to the public and able to receive outsiders. It also serves as the local hospitality service on the coast. Some suppliers or channel merchants can only hold their noses to sleep for the night and leave early.

The entire hotel was renovated on the site of the former Diaomao Hotel. It has two floors, more than 40 guest rooms and more than 80 nests of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Each of them has its own unique skills, and each of them is amazing. There is also a secret weapon in the mattress, the beautiful twin-tailed cockroach, which brings unexpected surprises to the guests.

No one could have imagined that the chosen one who secretly fanned the flames and tried to escalate the situation during the day would actually live here openly in the disguise of a channel dealer.

Moreover, it had arrived several days in advance, and we even went to the factory at Coast during the day to urge for the delivery.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the night market, there was a knock on the door.

There was no agreed code or high-end contact method. The people in the room had already noticed the other party when he went upstairs. He had disheveled hair, strong body odor and unkempt appearance, which were unique to garbage men. He walked in carrying a few portions of fried noodles and bottled water with a gloomy expression.

"Be careful, the inspection outside is very strict." The bribed local warned: "Many people have been arrested."

"Don't worry, we're just here to buy goods. We're not going anywhere, not even leaving the house."

The peeper at the window smiled and said soothingly, "It's just a small matter, it's nothing serious, don't worry, don't worry."

Don’t worry, you’re screwed!

The frightened locals originally wanted to say this, but when they saw the pair of eyes with a hint of smile, they couldn't help but relax. A trace of trance flashed across their expressions, and then they finally calmed down.

"Okay, go back." The smiling peeper patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the problem will be solved as long as you keep the secret."

"Keep it a secret." The visitor murmured in a trance.

"After you go back, just stay there quietly and keep everything as usual. Find a place where no one is around in a few days and then hang yourself. Life is so painful, there's no need to continue to suffer, right?"

"Pain, suffering... relief?"

"Yes, relief."

The command writing is completed.

With a sleepwalking smile, the visitor pushed the door open with light footsteps and disappeared.

"If you want to be cunning, you guys are the ones who are cunning, Wisdom Tooth." Wan Wu grinned and mocked, "When we, a bunch of inhumane pirates, hire someone to do something, we should at least pay them."

"Give the money, kill the person and take the money back after the job is done?" Wisdom Tooth glanced over and said, "Because of this, fewer and fewer people are willing to cooperate with you, right?"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Tie Bo, the real boss who dozed off on the chair, raised his eyes and looked over, interrupting the two men: "Wanwu, you should stay in the hotel for the next two days and don't show your head. And there's wisdom tooth... You went there during the day, right?"

Tiebo took off his hat, his eyes turned dangerous: "I don't care what you do, but don't hold me back. Next time, you are not allowed to do anything without asking me, understand?"

Being looked at like that was like having a wolf's claws on your shoulders in the middle of the night. It made you tremble and feel creepy.

Wisdom Tooth was speechless and raised his hands obediently, not daring to play any more tricks.

"very good."

Tiebo nodded: "Ming..."

Snapped!
There seemed to be a tiny cracking sound, as if a light bulb had broken somewhere, and when the sound echoed in everyone's ears, they didn't react.

Only Tiebo suddenly jumped up from his chair, as if he had been electrocuted, and rushed to the window without any warning.

Feel the killing intent, improve your intuition... This is the blessing of the White Deer, the Cicada's Knowledge!
But at that moment, when the sudden piercing coldness emerged from my heart, it was already too late...

A ray of silver light emerged without warning from the end of the long street and rushed over. The alchemical bullet shot out of the sniper rifle swirled silently, easily passing through the railings and wires, running through the entire night market, passing through the flickering dim lights and the smell of fireworks, and like tearing thin paper, it chiseled a small hole in the wall as thick as a little finger!

It only takes a flash of lightning and a split second.

Tiebo jumped up from the chair, releasing a cloud of blood. After avoiding a shattered head, one of his arms was blown into mud by the silver light.

Then, it was like thunder roaring across the sky.

In the dark night sky, a ray of flame suddenly appeared.

Like a star of steel...

In the sea outside Quancheng, the stars rose from the catapult track of the Prosperity between the waves, merged into the stars, and overlooked everything.

Then it fell, dragging the blazing tail flame from its engine!

Like a falling star.

In an instant, it broke through the speed of sound, Mach 1, Mach 2, Mach 3——

Until the entire experimental machine triggered the alarm in this violent acceleration.

"call--"

Amid the long-lost joy and laughter, hallucinations of broken capillaries seemed to ring out, nosebleed oozed, and the familiar smell of rust filled the lungs.

The corners of his mouth curled up under the oxygen mask. He ignored the pop-up stall warning window, looked down at the rapidly enlarging earth, and calculated the maximum distance as if instinctively.

At five kilometers, the engine reversed and slowed down.

At three kilometers, the steering engines of No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 were started and the angle balance was adjusted.

One kilometer, the main engine reverses and straightens, the steering auxiliary engine is shut down, and the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 6 propulsion engines are fully pulled -

In the blink of an eye, which was barely noticeable to ordinary people, the power armor swooped down with wild laughter, leaving a silver burning trail in the night sky. Before it smashed into the ground, it made a subtle turn... With the help of the mercury buffer solution, it withstood the terrifying G-force that was enough to cause an instant cerebral hemorrhage in ordinary people, turned from the side, drew a 45-degree angle, and penetrated diagonally into the hotel.

It stirred up a violent hurricane, crushing countless bricks and stones.

Break in!

The iron boots were raised, trampling on Wanwu's stunned face, crushing the floor, crashing into the first floor, and then falling into the basement with great force, smashing the floor of the basement and crashing into the mud.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the countless flying dust, a hurricane blew.

Fragments flew everywhere, and the wisdom tooth didn't even have time to scream before it was completely overturned.

"--Cool!"

Ignoring the alarm of his armor, the ferocious knight, whose body was rubbed red from the friction, lowered his eyes and looked down at the bloody Chosen One at his feet - the fate of the ruins was tough after all!
At the moment of collision, the spirit instinctively defended itself and transformed into flesh. Now only the chest was shattered, but it remained intact. In the past, many high-threat targets, after being kicked like this, immediately exploded on the spot like the local "twin-tailed beautiful girl"!

But it does not matter……

"Excuse me, which one do you like, this electromagnetic charging stick, this anchor-type armor-piercing gun, or this hot-blade kinetic axe?" Lu Feng calmly reached out from behind and pulled out various equipment, displaying them one by one in front of the pair of terrified eyes... Unfortunately, Wan Wu couldn't hear what he was saying at all, his eardrums had already burst, and his struggle was in vain.

He wanted to move away the big foot that was stepping on his chest.

The fingers were scalded and made a hissing sound.

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but only made huh sounds.

"What? You like them all?"

Lu Feng was shocked, then he shook his head helplessly, revealing a doting smile: "What a greedy little cat..."

In that case, I’ll give them all to you!

……

There seemed to be a hysterical scream.

Amid the impact and shock, the dizzy wisdom tooth squirmed a little, climbed up with difficulty, looked around, but could only see collapsed walls and floors.

There seemed to be a familiar voice in the remaining echoing loud noise.

It was like screaming and wailing, crying and sobbing, begging.

Mixed with happy and excited laughter.

From beneath the crack in the floor...

Wisdom Tooth could feel that Wanwu's consciousness was shaking violently, like a candle in the wind. Pain and fear gushed out like a fountain, dyeing the whole world scarlet.

But at the source of the scarlet, a blood color that surpassed everything else gradually rose.

It was not burning vigorously, but after a long period of silence, one or two insignificant sparks lit up again, but they set off a violent tide that made Wisdom Teeth shudder.

Holy fuck, what the hell is that!
Even though his defenseless consciousness and soul were right in front of him and he could do whatever he wanted... a kind of fear that made it almost difficult for him to breathe rose from his instinct.

Don't touch! Don't touch! Don't touch!
His instinct told him that if he touched it, a consequence more horrible than death would be waiting for him!

Where did the monster come from!

Wisdom Tooth convulsed, using all his strength to prop up his body and try to escape, but unfortunately, it was too late.

It was as if someone looked at him.

He raised his hand casually, and then the gem inlaid on the ring on his fingertip emitted a faint light... Then, the man-made evil spirit appeared out of thin air and opened its mouth.

It was even worse than the scarlet turbid torrent, sweeping over like a tsunami!

Resentment, resentment, hatred, pain, torment and despair.

He froze in place, a final crackling sound echoing in his head.

Snapped!
Blood gushed out of all his orifices and he fell to the ground silently.

Before the soul completely collapses, what finally emerges from despair is some kind of indescribable enlightenment.

——It turns out that the real monster is there...

In an instant, among the original three people, Wanwu and Zhichi had completely lost the ability to resist.

Tiebo was the only one who realized something was wrong at the first moment and chose to escape without thinking... In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the window, rolled, landed, and ran wildly.

When I looked back, I saw steel stars falling from the sky.

The terrifying glow and trail instantly awakened the deepest nightmare memories in the minds of the Thousand Islands people... the meteor-like tactical maneuvers of the Federal Cavalry!
The federal army is coming?! Are you crazy? That's not right...

Where did the Honored Cavalry come from!

In an instant, countless distracting thoughts echoed in his empty mind, until his intuitive warning made him brake suddenly, raise his head vigilantly, and look forward.

On the empty street, the street lights flickered, illuminating the figure waiting there.

Amid the buzzing sound echoing in the distance, he seemed to be still playing with his cell phone with his head down.

He looked up casually and took a look.

"Okay, I get it. Remind Brother Feng to keep one alive and not to overdo it... Also, the cost of repairs will be deducted from his dividends."

The visitor said slowly: "Include my labor costs as well, according to the navy quotation he gave me before."

That look... a face I have seen countless times in photos, with burn scars on his face and eyes that seem to be burning like a fire...

Ji Jue!!!

After the instinctive fear and shock, there was actually a hint of surprise.

A craftsman came to him unarmed!

Such a close distance!
He pursed his lips, his eyes shining - perhaps the road ahead is unknown, perhaps there are many traps waiting for him, but there is still a chance!

Tiebo bent down slightly and placed his remaining arm on the hilt of the knife at his lower back.

Pull out slowly.

Stay calm, focus and be patient.

Just one knife...

A knife!

But in the still lingering tiny buzzing sound, Ji Jue's eyes seemed full of admiration, with a hint of a smile.

"By the way, do you feel your head is pointy?"

Head? Pointy?
Tiebo was confused and couldn't understand it, but in the sultry night wind blowing in his face, he felt a chill on his forehead for some reason.

The sticky liquid flowed down and fell into the corners of the eyes, dyeing the dim world scarlet.

He instinctively tightened his grip on the hilt, but he noticed a subtle difference in the feel, it was much lighter. And when he finally lowered his head, he saw that for some reason only half of the blade was left.

There were even dense red marks on the five fingers, left arm, chest and abdomen, legs, and neck.

Thousands of threads are intertwined with each other.

It's just like……

Knife scar?
Snapped!
The first scalp fell to the ground.

At the moment of enlightenment, he saw: his body was like frozen meat stuffed into a slicer, falling apart piece by piece...

The weak adhesion between cells and the adsorption force formed by the vacuum in the flat cross-section were broken.

So, it fell apart.

It turned into character fragments all over the ground.

Just like that, death came with a buzzing sound that sounded like the vibration of a guitar string.

"If you're not careful... it'll break into pieces."

Ji Jue frowned slightly and said, “Now we can only burn it into ashes and use it again.”

The value of the materials is greatly reduced.

Be more careful next time.

With a light sigh, he waved his hand, and suddenly, countless strands of silver light gathered from all directions, like spider silk fluttering in the wind, layer by layer, and fell into his hands.

Then, it hardened quickly and turned into the shape of a trekking pole, shining with silver light.

[Quality of gold and iron] and [Ultimate toughness]!
After piecing together the two scattered blessings for such a long time, Ji Jue finally took advantage of these few days to complete the integration.

This is finally not equipment fragments.

After the fusion is completed, the blessings blend and match each other, as if they were born that way. The toughness and hardness of mercury can be adjusted freely, and the refined operation becomes more and more smooth and easy to change.

Thousands of mercury threads had already enveloped the entire hotel long before the action took place, hiding themselves behind the flickering lights and the many blind spots of the lights.

For such a long time, people came and went, but no one noticed the mercury threads that were no different from spider silk. Occasionally touching them had no effect.

Until the real prey came to the door on its own initiative, things suddenly changed.

Just like that, in the desperate run all the way, the unconscious White Deer Chosen One sharpened his head and rammed it against the blade until he was cut into pieces.

"It's just ordinary stuff."

Ji Jue looked down at the few remaining broken blessings in his soul and shook his head slowly. In the blink of an eye, they were dissociated, leaving only pure spiritual essence sealed by solid alchemy.

Until now, the golden-haired boy who was quietly waiting farther away finally mustered up the courage, walked up, lowered his head and said, "Brother Ji, the people are here and everything is ready."

"Then let's see."

Ji Jue laughed: "I also want to know what happened."

There was a chill in that smile that was deeper than the night dew.
