Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 168 There are even more powerful people than me (Part 2)

Unit 1, Building 6, Apartment 301.

Cao Biansheng sat on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by his former roommates and classmates with whom he had a good relationship.

"Brother Cao, we really miss you! Without you, our hunting trips feel empty."

"Get lost, you're talking nonsense. Do you think you can't eat without me?" Cao Biansheng laughed and cursed.

"Hey, Lao Cao, how exactly did you leave? Some people say it's because you were caught by Lao Luo peeping at girls taking a shower, and then you knelt on the ground begging Lao Luo not to tell anyone, and then Lao Luo kicked you out."

"What utter bullshit!" Cao Biansheng sat up abruptly, unable to contain his anger, "Who's spreading these rumors about me?"

A head may be severed, blood may flow, but innocence must be proven.

"Haha, that's what Qi Xiang just made up." A boy next to him pointed at the boy who had just spoken.

"Cao, you little brat, are you looking for death?" Cao Biansheng stood up and locked Qi Xiang in his arms.

Before long, Qi Xiang begged for mercy repeatedly.

Cao Biansheng released his grip, and Qi Xiang rubbed his arm. "You're really strong. Hey, Lao Cao, how are you doing with the Qin Alliance? If you're not having a good time, come back. The brothers are starting to miss you."

Cao Biansheng said with a smile, "It's fine. Don't miss your brother. If you miss me, you can come over."

"I'm going to tell Lao Luo that you're poaching his girlfriend," Qi Xiang said disdainfully.

"Come on, Lao Luo might have the same idea." Cao Biansheng chuckled. After arriving at Qin Alliance, he saw many advanced buildings that he had never seen in the homesteads of the teaching building.

He immediately smiled mysteriously: "I can only say that there are some things I can't say, but you will definitely not regret coming to be my teammate. Those who understand will understand, and for those who don't, no amount of explanation will help."

Hearing Cao Biansheng say this immediately piqued the curiosity of the others.

They all knew Lao Cao's personality; although he sometimes liked to boast a little, he was generally reliable. They didn't know what he had seen.

"We'll see. I've been spending a lot of time with my classmates, and I'm not used to coming here," one of the male students said.

Qi Xiang said, "There are more girls here in the teaching building, but I heard that your area is a den of monks."

Cao Biansheng rolled his eyes. "What's the point of having women? The reason you're not as strong as me is because you're not pure enough! You should become a pure strongman like me."

The others looked at him with pity. This guy seemed to have never been in a relationship. It wasn't that no girl had ever expressed interest in him, but when it came to this, he would shrink back and avoid it.

This is what it's like to be a person who has never been in a relationship.

Suddenly, the sound of arguing and cursing came from outside the window. The sound was not far away, coming from downstairs.

"There's another argument downstairs," Qi Xiang said. "Brother Cao, aren't you going to do something about it? It looks like they're from your Qin Alliance."

"What?" Cao Biansheng's brows furrowed slowly.

A large group of people gathered outside the lawn and greenery in Unit 1, Building 6, Apartment 101.

There are men and women, old and young.

Wei Zhaohua stood guard in front of a circle of soil and said angrily, "This soil at the entrance was brought back by myself from the last world, bucket by bucket. It's not from the neighborhood. If you want it, you can dig up the soil over there, but you can't touch this!"

Three men stood beside Wei Zhaohua, the four of them forming a circle.

On the other side, an even larger circle surrounded them.

"This is the community's public property. We didn't see you digging it!" someone shouted from across the street.

"Give me, let me."

The crowd parted, and a group of people walked in, led by a man who was 1.7 meters tall, with dark skin and a strong build, and had a buzz cut.

"Brother Biao."

"Brother Biao."

Many of the onlookers recognized him: He Biao, the former captain of the first hunting team of the Tongmenghui, who had now been transferred to the third team.

Although his team's ranking dropped due to his poor performance in the last incident with the Megalodon, he is still quite famous within the alliance because he is good at "getting things done," often shows his face, and has many friends.

"What's going on?" He Biao asked as he entered, looking directly at the person arguing with Wei Zhaohua.

The man said, "Brother Biao, didn't the chairman say that we should plant more things? We were just about to dig up more soil from the community and take it back, but this guy stopped us and even pushed us down."

Wei Zhaohua panicked, "I didn't push it."

"Alright, I understand." He Biao raised his hand and turned to Wei Zhaohua, saying, "I'll give your Qin Alliance some face and let bygones be bygones for what happened when you pushed people. We'll take two-thirds of this soil with us, and you can keep the rest."

Wei Zhaohua said anxiously, "I dug this soil myself!"

He Biao frowned. He had already backed down, so why was this person still pestering him?

He turned around and looked behind him. A young man with slightly curly hair, thick eyebrows, and big eyes strode out from behind him.

"I advise you to be sensible. If you back down now, you can still save face. Otherwise, you'll lose both face and dignity, and it will be your Qin Alliance's reputation that will be damaged," the young man said confidently.

Some of the college students watching whispered among themselves, "This guy is such a show-off." "Yeah, just like Cao Biansheng."

"Oh? Then why not tarnish the reputation of your Tongmenghui?" Cao Biansheng strode out from behind.

"I've heard of you." The curly-haired man looked at Cao Biansheng, his eyes showing no fear.

Since obtaining a Human Enhancement Card during the settlement, which greatly increased his strength, he is now incredibly confident. He usually exercises regularly and his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people. Now he is even more powerful.

He was confident that even if he wasn't as brave as Yu, he wasn't much worse than those professional strongmen.

Cao Biansheng looked at He Biao and asked, "Are you two going to fight or what?"

"That's what I should be asking you," He Biao said in a deep voice. If the chairman hadn't instructed him to avoid conflicts with other forces in the community, he would never have been so calm.

Now things are in trouble. Things have developed to this point, and it's not just a personal matter for them. It also involves the reputations of both sides. If he backs down voluntarily, people will say something, like that their alliance is afraid of the Qin Alliance.

"If you don't want trouble, then why come and steal our things?" Cao Biansheng said.

He Biao frowned. He looked at the person who had just spoken and guessed something from the other person's shifty eyes.

But he couldn't back down now. He pointed to the curly-haired man beside him and said, "What do you mean 'your stuff'? Here's what we'll do: we won't bully you because we outnumber you. If any of you can wrestle and beat Jiang Shan, I'll not only return this dirt to you, but I'll also give you an extra hundred pounds of dirt! Do you dare?"

Jiang Shan stepped forward, his eyes full of provocation.

Cao Biansheng shook his head and chuckled, "You should have said it was this simple earlier."

Jiang Shan took off his jacket, revealing his well-defined muscles, and tiptoed, eager to try.

Seeing that Cao Biansheng didn't even take off his coat and went straight up to him, Jiang Shan felt looked down upon. "Aren't you going to take off your coat? Don't make excuses for yourself when you lose later, saying you're not in good shape."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense."

The two men put their arms together, and Jiang Shan gave a low shout, straining his waist and abdomen, preparing to flip the kid in front of him over.

As a result, the other person seemed to have taken root, with both feet firmly planted on the ground.

The next second, an immense force came from the other end of his arm, and Jiang Shan was lifted into the air without any power to resist.

Before he could react, the world spun around him, and he was thrown onto a pile of dirt.

Jiang Shan lay on the mound of earth, staring blankly at the sky, still unable to accept this cruel reality.

"Why...why?"

Cao Biansheng looked at He Biao and said, "Captain He, don't forget what you promised us."

He Biao's face was ashen. He glanced at Jiang Shan on the ground. This kid always boasted about how powerful he was, claiming to be the number one in the Tongmenghui, but he was defeated in one move. What a disgrace!
"Don't worry, I'll have someone bring it to you later." He then left in a hurry.

Many onlookers laughed at the sight. Amid the laughter, He Biao walked even faster.

Jiang Shan muttered to himself for a while, then got up from the ground. He looked at Cao Biansheng, somewhat bewildered. "You're so capable, why did you go to the Qin Alliance? Wouldn't it be better to join our Alliance? We have more people and a larger scale."

"Because there are people in the Qin Alliance who are even more powerful than me." Cao Biansheng thought of Du Yu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan's pupils shrank. In his view, if Cao Biansheng was already so powerful, there must be someone even more powerful in the Qin Alliance. Just how powerful must they be?

The image of Qin Ziwen subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

I heard that Qin Meng initially built his reputation on his own merits.

Could the stronger person Cao Biansheng mentioned be the chairman of the Qin Alliance?

Back beside Wei Zhaohua, Cao Biansheng asked with concern, "Old Wei, are you alright?"

Wei Zhaohua said gratefully, "Thank you for earlier."

"We're all from the same association, why are you talking about this?" Cao Biansheng waved his hand dismissively, not caring about such a trivial matter at all.

For him, since they were colleagues, helping them was the right thing to do.

"Come in and have something to eat. I have fruit here, fresh cherry tomatoes, sweet and sour, I guarantee they'll be delicious."

"Hey, this isn't a good idea," Cao Biansheng said, pulling Wei Zhaohua's hand and leading her into the house.

Watching their retreating figures, and then glancing at the empty line beside him, a hint of desolation flashed in Jiang Shan's eyes.

"Jiang Shan, you're not so great either. You always brag about how amazing you are." Someone in the crowd laughed.

Jiang Shan glanced at the man and suddenly walked over.

The man's expression changed as he watched Jiang Shan, who was taller and stronger than him, walk towards him. He immediately backed away, shouting, "What are you going to do!"

A burly man weighing nearly 200 pounds standing next to the man disdainfully reached out his right arm to grab Jiang Shan, saying, "You haven't beaten anyone else, so you're taking it out on your own people?"

Jiang Shan glanced at him, grabbed him with his backhand, took a half step forward, slid and twisted to the side. The powerful force directly bent the arm of the two-hundred-pound man, causing him to gasp in pain and beg for mercy repeatedly.

Jiang Shan didn't even glance at him. He walked up to the man who had spoken earlier, looked down at him, head bowed, and said in a cold tone, "I'm not good enough?"

The man's face turned pale. At this moment, not only him, but also the crowd of onlookers around him, finally realized under such obvious comparison that it was not Jiang Shan who was weak, but Cao Biansheng who was stronger!

Then, who was the person in the Qin Alliance who was stronger than him, as Cao Biansheng mentioned?

Evening, the arena.

"Hey, Cao the Mighty Man, I heard you showed off a little today."

On the stage, Qin Ziwu joked.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Cao Biansheng's eyes. "Stop talking, stop talking. Others may not know, but don't you know what my strength is in the alliance?"

Let alone Du Yu, there's another association president ahead of us.

The president's physical abilities were in no way inferior to his, and he also possessed archery skills far surpassing his.

With the addition of the newly emerged harpy eagle, its eight claws are like eight large curved swords, swooping down from the sky at speeds of over a hundred kilometers per hour. How could an ordinary person possibly defend against that?

I don't know when word got out of the afternoon's events.

The first thing people say to him when they see him is, "Cao Biansheng, you're showing off again."

Opposite them, Du Yu held a long spear, "Don't get distracted!"

Du Yu took the initiative to attack with his gun. On the stage, the nine-person team was arranged in two long rows, four in front and five in back.

The front row thrusts forward, then sheathes their spears; at the instant they sheath, the rear row thrusts out their spears again!

Faced with this spear formation, all Du Yu could do was use his spear to break through the formation, and then seize the opportunity to charge in once the formation was in disarray.

However, there were two players on the opposing team whose strength was in no way inferior to his.

They were always able to block his gun at crucial moments, delaying the attack, and the team's cooperation became more and more familiar.

After half an hour of practice, Du Yu stopped the movements and said, "You are already familiar with the coordination of the gun formation. Next, you just need to familiarize yourself with the techniques and improve your physical fitness."

The training session didn't end until 9 p.m.

Qin Ziwen said, "Our main task tomorrow is to go to the eastern region to hunt wild animals. If there is a suitable target, Instructor Du will hunt alone, and we should not interfere."

Hearing this, everyone was somewhat puzzled.

Cao Biansheng laughed and said, "Is Instructor Du going to give us a demonstration battle?"

Qin Ziwen said, "No, it's a challenge and trial for him to break through the limits of mortals and embark on the path to transcendence."

Upon hearing this, not only Cao Biansheng, but the entire group below fell silent.

They stared blankly at Du Yu, as if inquiring about the authenticity of the information.

Du Yu nodded, "Once you also break through to the fifth star level and obtain the Limit Card, you will be able to participate in the trial. By passing the trial, you can break through the limits of humanity."

Although many of them hadn't even reached their limits, that didn't stop them from having high hopes.

Because it represents a kind of hope.

After all, time travel can happen, and there are these mysterious cards. Who wouldn't hope to break through their limits and transcend the ordinary?

This also stems from humanity's inherent desire for power.

Throughout history, every major civilization has had gods, and stories of humans acquiring power and becoming gods are commonplace.

"What is a five-star system?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.

Qin Ziwen introduced the Physique Enhancement Card, and then explained its special features, as well as his ability to see a person's star rating through his perception ability.

"I see." Wang Jun suddenly realized.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Yang Cunshen's eyes. "President, may I ask what star level I am?"

"You're a Samsung."

"What about me? What about me?"

A group of people gathered around, curiously inquiring about their ratings.

Cao Biansheng rated himself a five-star, so he wasn't too surprised.

Because his school had previously obtained three human physique enhancement cards, he had used two of them, but the remaining one indicated that he could not use it. From that time on, he knew that his physique should have been enhanced to the maximum of five stars.

He has also been speculating whether there are ways to further improve beyond five stars.

Now that he knew there was a way forward, Cao Biansheng was overjoyed and full of motivation.

Cao Biansheng asked curiously, "Instructor Du, is the challenge mission to hunt these dinosaurs?"

"No, it's a choice of three. You can choose one of three difficulty levels, and each person's three tasks are different," Du Yu simply explained his challenge.

After hearing Du Yu's task, everyone fell silent.

Yuan Ming smiled wryly: "If it were me, I would definitely only be able to choose the first option."

Cao Biansheng sighed inwardly. If it were him, he might try to challenge the second gear, but he knew that if he chose the second gear, the probability of him completing it would be less than 20%.
