Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

A car was punched and sent flying, spinning two and a half times in the air before landing on the ground, rolling a few more times, and crashing into a nearby food stall...

The purpose was to prevent dust kicked up by vehicles from contaminating the food; how could Fang Rui allow the car to crash into the food stalls? Therefore…

Fang Rui moved at high speed onto the vehicle's rolling path and punched it again, forcing the vehicle to stop abruptly.

The onlookers were speechless, their expressions blank. Although they knew there were powerful people in the world, it was the first time they had ever seen someone smash a car with their bare hands, so it was normal for them to be surprised.

If they hadn't encountered something even more outrageous recently, their astonishment would have been even greater.

"Hmm?" The Guard Bureau's convoy gradually stopped, and the people inside the vehicles got out one after another, looking at Fang Rui with surprised eyes. The leader said with a look of astonishment.

"You're actually that strong?!"

Hoshiguma approached Fang Rui with steady steps, her expression and tone revealing considerable surprise.

He was somewhat familiar with Fang Rui, after all, he was the "central" figure in a certain incident, and the people in the Guard Bureau were all very familiar with him.

"After all, I am a scientist. How can I deal with emergencies without some fighting skills?"

Fang Rui remained calm and composed, offering a very composed explanation.

"What kind of emergencies do scientists need to deal with?" the police officer next to him asked, puzzled.

"There are many possibilities. For example, your technological products might suddenly malfunction or explode. If you're slow to react, you could end up seriously injured and hospitalized. Or, other organizations might covet your research results and send mercenaries to steal them. Without some physical strength, even escaping would be a problem..."

Listening to Fang Rui's rant, the police officers were stunned. It was the first time they had realized that the daily lives of scientists were so colorful and diverse...

"Stop." Hoshiguma raised her hand to stop Fang Rui from rambling on. She had a feeling that Fang Rui spoke with the air of someone who had experienced it all firsthand, huh...

The lives of ordinary scientists are not so rich.

"Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business. You can continue... um, let's eat!"

As she spoke, Hoshiguma looked at the overturned car. Through the broken glass, she could see that the prisoner was in terrible condition and would die without timely medical treatment.

The officers are working hard to rescue the prisoner without aggravating his injuries...

'Looks like I'll be busy for a while.' Hoshiguma thought to herself as she saw the situation and ordered someone to contact the medics at the Royal Guard Bureau to prepare to provide first aid to the prisoners.

As for why the Guard Bureau has medics, it's mainly because the Guard Bureau's work is very dangerous. Having medics allows for timely treatment, providing immediate care to seriously injured officers and saving their lives...

"We can talk again another time." Hearing Hoshiguma say this, Fang Rui didn't press the matter further. He returned to the dining table and greeted Amiya and Huang.

"Your strength..." Huang hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't say it.

"My strength was built up little by little," Fang Rui said.

In this respect, he neither told the truth nor lied.

"No, what I really want to ask is why you are so strong?"

There are plenty of people on Rhodes Island who can smash a car with a single punch, but the problem lies in the previous teleportation and high-speed movement.

Even with her dynamic vision, she couldn't see Fang Rui's movements clearly, which shows how fast Fang Rui was.

In other words, if Fang Rui wanted to, he could eliminate the two of them instantly before they could even react.

To put it another way, her and Amiya's current situation can be described as very dangerous.

"What are you thinking about?" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the change in Huang's attitude.

"I'm thinking, if I encounter someone whose speed is similar to yours, how can I defeat them!"

Huang expressed his concerns, as if he were seeking Fang Rui's help.

"My suggestion..."

Fang Rui held up one finger. "The first method is to increase the speed to the same level."

The second finger pops out, "Using restrictive skills, the target is trapped in a certain area, like a turtle in a jar."

He flicked out a third finger, "Defense and counter-attack, strengthen your defense, and give yourself more opportunities to catch the target..."

Huang nodded slightly. The first and third ones were too difficult and not suitable. As for restrictive skills, there were ways to achieve that…

Considering that Amiya's bodyguards keep changing, it's best to prepare a tech-savvy one...

Huang didn't dwell on the matter. She didn't have a solution for the time being, so she decided to leave it to the people of Rhodes Island to think about. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. A group of people coming up with a solution would definitely be more likely to find one than one person coming up with one...

Fang Rui ignored Huang's expression and instead discussed the taste of the fish balls with Amiya...

"I think... it would taste even better with some chili sauce."

"Don't put chili sauce on everything! Just how much do you like spicy food?"

"I've toned it down a lot now~ I used to prefer spicier food."

Did I... ask that?

The two people's conversations are basically not on the same line, often veering off to the other side...

Because of what happened earlier, the food street was much quieter, and Fang Rui and his group became the center of attention.

Therefore, not long after, Fang Rui and the others left the food street.

Chapter 522 Chance Encounter

After sending Amiya and Blaze back to Rhodes Island, Fang Rui found Kal'tsit and discussed cooperation with her.

The two discussed this matter smoothly.

Neither of them had any intention of pursuing profit. As long as they didn't lose money, they were content to make a little money, at least enough to pay their employees' salaries.

Of course, it's okay if you don't make any money at all.

After the discussion, Fang Rui returned to the research institute and handed the food he had bought to Möbius and Vervière.

"Pado, when did you arrive?"

Looking at Paddo Phyllis beside him, Fang Rui tilted his head slightly, somewhat surprised.

"I'm a bodyguard," Pado explained simply. Because the portal was quite far from Lungmen, the maid chosen by Otto and the Gray Serpent couldn't cross the dangerous wilderness alone, therefore…

With plenty of free time, Patto became the maids' bodyguard.

Pado had no objection to this; in fact, she was quite happy about it...

Things from another world must be very valuable!

Pado pondered this, preparing to cause some trouble in the other world.

“If you want to ‘buy goods,’ I have no objection, but you’d better choose unclaimed items and avoid those that are already owned.”

"I, Pado, am very discreet and will not cause trouble. I hate trouble the most."

Pado gently patted her chest, causing a surge of emotion, her expression one of self-awareness.

Fang Rui was skeptical of this.

Cats always act on instinct.

With her exceptional luck, Patto Phyllis can use the intuition that comes with it to judge whether taking something will cause her trouble.

Moreover, everything she took seemed to be useful, and even if it wasn't useful now, it would come in handy in the future.

"I'll trust you this once." Having said that, Fang Rui asked about something else, "Have you eaten?"

"No, I just arrived..." Pado slowly shook her head, her cat ears twitching slightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. What would the food from this other world taste like?

"Let's go! I'll take you to eat..."

With that, Fang Rui walked out of the research institute.

Although the maid had arrived at the research institute, there was no food inside. As for seasonings, there was some salt and chili.

Food street, for now... not in consideration, after all, I just came back from there.

Besides these, there are many other restaurants to choose from.

Restaurants that use the dining environment as a selling point are excluded...

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Rui suddenly realized that his knowledge of Longmen was practically zero. Apart from the food street, he didn't know the names of any of the other restaurants...

"...How about hot pot?" Fang Rui asked Pado Phyllis for her opinion.

“Sure.” Although Pado looks like a cat, she doesn’t have a cat’s tongue. Whether it’s hot or spicy, Pado can eat it.

Taking out his recently purchased smartphone, Fang Rui searched online for highly-rated hot pot restaurants...

After some time, the two arrived at a hot pot restaurant, and after ordering, they started chatting.

Although it was supposed to be a casual chat, the two didn't have much in common, and the conversation often abruptly ended, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Hey! You two, can we share a table?"

When the atmosphere between the two became slightly awkward, an unfamiliar voice came from the side. Judging from the voice, it was clear that the person was a woman.

“You are…” Pado sized up the newcomer, a woman with delicate features, wearing a white cheongsam, with auspicious clouds like fire adorning the cheongsam, exuding an air of nobility.

Her dragon horns further highlight her extraordinary status.

“No problem.” Seeing the crimson markings on the other person’s arm, Fang Rui already knew who the other person was.

One of the fragments of the Year Beast, Nian is skilled in crafting tools.

"Thanks." Nian sat down at the table, pulled out a jar of chili sauce from somewhere, and asked, "Would you like some extra seasoning? I know quite a bit about hot pot; most hot pots taste alright, but they're just not spicy enough."

"No need, I prefer light flavors," Fang Rui refused.

Paddo's ears twitched slightly; her intuition warned her not to agree.

"Yes, my taste is also very light."

"What a pity." Nian put away the chili sauce jar. Since the person at the table refused, she had no reason to pour the chili sauce into the pot.

"Did you come to see us for something?" Without continuing the small talk, Fang Rui turned to ask about other things, such as Nian's purpose in coming to see them.

Why would you want to share a table when there are so many empty seats in the restaurant?

"I met two extraordinary people and wanted to learn more about them."

There was no attempt to conceal anything. There was no special connection between the fragments of the gods. It was only by observing that Fang Rui and Padofilis were different from ordinary people.

Although neither of them revealed any aura, Nian sensed something unusual about them, a kind of intuition...

“Unusual?” Pado waved her hands a few times upon hearing this. “I’m just an ordinary person, nothing unusual about me.”
