Life Dungeon Game

Iver turned around and looked at Enko beside him.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Enko also turned around, a smile on his face, and as he turned, he naturally distanced himself from Iver.

Actually, he was already sweating slightly on his back.

Iver appeared behind him without his noticing. If the other party could appear behind him so easily without his knowledge, he could also easily stab him in the neck from behind with a dagger.

"He, you don't look that old?"

Iver turned around and continued to smile at Heo, "I had anticipated your youth before I came, but I didn't expect you to be so... young. You look like a child still in school. Your world must be filled with the purity, kindness, and gentleness of an ivory tower to cultivate such an enviable vitality in you."

Enko, standing to the side, changed his expression slightly. Iver's words were a roundabout way of saying that Heo was still immature and a callow youth.

Then he took a small half-step back, increasing the distance between himself and the two of them.

Heo raised his head, looked at Iver in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

buzz-

A jet-black fly flew past Iver and towards Heo's cheek.

"Hey, a fly is coming."

Just as the fly was about to land on Heo's cheek, Iver reached out and grabbed the black fly with his fingers.

He moved so fast that Enko couldn't even see him.

Almost instantly, Enko realized that this was another 'show of skill' just like before.

Iver was trying to tell Heo that he could easily catch a fly on Heo's cheek, and he could easily kill Heo.

Boom——

With a muffled thud, Iver's outstretched hand froze in mid-air as Heo's raised left hand firmly gripped his wrist.

Iver instinctively tried to break free from Heo's grip, but in that instant, he felt his arm become weak and a sharp, throbbing pain shot through it.

His face turned pale, but he didn't make a sound.

"No need, thank you,"

He smiled at him, extended his right index and middle fingers, raised them upwards, and caught the fly just before it landed on his cheek.

All of these movements were extremely fast, but there was no sense of abruptness; they were as smooth and natural as flowing water.

"These flies are buzzing around, it's getting a bit noisy."

He caught the fly, flicked his finger, and with a crisp whistling sound, the fly he caught slid down Iver's cheek, crashed into the wall behind Iver, made a hole in the red bricks, and sank in.

A brief silence spread among the crowd.

He released his grip, took out his phone and glanced at the time. "It's almost time for the transaction. Let's go back to our respective positions."

Then he smiled and nodded to Enko, walked past Iver, and turned to walk to the side of the street.

Iver was stunned.

Looking at the arm stretched out in mid-air, there were several fading bright red handprints on the once fair wrist.

The moment He Ao let go, he felt his arm regain its strength.

He Ao hadn't caused him any harm, but the moment He Ao grabbed his hand, he knew that his life and death were no longer in his own hands.

Enko, standing nearby, watched Iver's expression. This was the first time he had seen Heo make a move, and he, like Iver, felt a profound shock. After all, he knew Iver's strength.

But besides being shocked, he was also just as happy.

He yawned, looked at Iver, and smiled, "Iver, I don't know why, but I'm in a really good mood today. I'm thinking of going out for barbecue and drinks tonight, wanna come along?"

As he was pulling his hand back, Iver turned pale with anger.

But Enko ignored him. He took out a small jug of wine from his pocket, chuckled, drank the wine, and walked briskly toward the other end of the street.

After watching Enko leave, Iver glanced at the fading handprint on his wrist, then at Heo's receding figure.

Is that guy really a C-rank?

······

At this moment, He Ao had already walked to a short distance outside the restaurant. He turned his head and glanced into the restaurant through the window.

Li Cheng was sitting in the same spot as he had been that morning.

Then he looked away, staring at the dappled shadows on the wall.

Iver is very strong, probably at the limit of C-rank, but that's about it.

The method to restrain Iver was also very simple. He Ao glanced at the energy flow in Iver's body, pinched the key line of energy flow in his arm, and blocked that energy for a short time.

The congested force will overflow to other parts of the arm, causing some pain, but the damage is not significant.

Of course, next, He Ao could easily break his neck.

The sunlight cast long shadows, and time finally came to an end.

······

The roaring train stopped in the middle of the restaurant.

The train doors opened, and He Ao's clone slowly stepped off the train.

He walked straight up to Li Cheng, but the Verola behind him did not leave immediately; instead, it remained parked there.

Li Cheng looked at 'Hao Yi' walking over. He knew that 'Hao Yi' leaving the Verola and entering this restaurant was a way of showing him trust.

He entered the Verola without any precautions in the morning, and at noon 'Hao Yi' returned the same trust to him.

"Here is the list of materials you requested."

Li Cheng handed the three stacked documents to He Ao, saying, "We will transport the materials to the warehouse marked on the document within one day. You can just go and pick them up then."

"it is good."

He Ao took the list.

He glanced down at the three lists of materials. The top one was from the research institute, the second one was from Moonlight, and the third one was from World Tree.

The research institute has the most materials listed in these three sets of documents, more than Moonlight and World Tree combined.

"Is this all the plant and animal materials with extraordinary powers that Moonlight and the World Tree possess?"

? ”

He Ao took out the research institute's list separately, then held the remaining two lists in his hands and looked at Li Cheng.

"They said that's all they have."

Li Cheng said softly.

Although the research institute is the largest supernatural organization in the main world, it is impossible for it to have twice as many supernatural materials as the other two organizations.

Although the other two organizations agreed to He's request, they clearly did not intend to actually hand over everything.

However, this was within He Ao's expectations, but the honesty of the research institute was somewhat beyond his expectations.

It seems that Li Cheng really wants to build a good relationship with him.

"We've set up a dedicated information website for you,"

At this moment, Li Cheng took out another piece of paper and a USB drive. "This is the website address and login key. We will upload all the research data on the ruins to this data website. This website has three servers, and we are each responsible for our own servers. Only you can access any server at will."

How long will it take for the latest files to be uploaded?

He Ao took the paper and USB drive.

"It takes up to seven days, but we usually try to upload it on the same day."

Li Cheng said.

The longest possible time is seven days, which means it's highly likely to be seven days.

In other words, if there is crucial research data, He Ao might know about it seven days later than other organizations.

This kind of 'small trick' was also within He Ao's expectations, and it was something he couldn't prevent.

Even if they granted He Ao access to the internal network, they could still restrict his browsing scope by secretly modifying the data.

However, He Ao didn't really care about this, since no one is willing to easily share their core secrets.

The core of this deal is 'legal rights'. Legally, the major organizations agree that Heo can view all their research materials related to the ruins, and that's enough.

At this moment, Li Cheng took out another piece of paper and handed it to He Ao, "This is the account that the research institute has set up for you. You can use this account to download the research institute's programs and access all our information about the ruins."

He Ao paused slightly, smiled, and took the paper. "Do the other two organizations know what you're doing?"

Li Cheng pointed to his ear.

His meaning was clear: he was still on the phone with the leaders of the other two organizations.

"So, what about the spots for the ruins this time?"

He Ao stacked all the materials together and looked at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng responded with a smile.

Beneath that gentle smile, there was inevitably a hint of nervousness. Even at his position and in such a crucial moment, he still exhibited some normal human reactions.

The research institute gave so much not just to gain Hao Yi's friendship.

"My suggestion is that the research institute should take more than 55% of the spots. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

He Ao said with a smile.

Of course, he wasn't just saying this to Li Cheng, but also to the leaders of the other two organizations.

He certainly doesn't have the right to allocate quotas, but he has the ability to make it impossible for everyone else to succeed.

Without a spacetime anchor point, the relic passage will not open.

Moreover, 'Hao Yi' is a 'B-level', and what Moonlight and World Tree did this time was somewhat unethical; they were in the wrong, and essentially...

They would be willing to go further and offend Hao Yi.

Therefore, allocating most of the slots to the research institute is acceptable to the other two organizations.

Of course, 55% is already a near-limit figure. Any higher and the two organizations would be willing to risk mutual destruction rather than let the research institute benefit.
