While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

"Spread the word that there's a big shipment in Building 55, and at the same time raise the price of the Space Parasite Beast's beast crystal to 80, to lure the older students over to compete for it, and see if the Dragon Guard will come out to protect Yang Ding."

Huang Bingbing hesitated.

"Isn't this going a bit too far? What if we're overthinking it, and that the Imperial Guard wasn't there to protect Yang Ding at all, but instead killed him?"

"We won't kill him intentionally, but if we do, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"But we can't explain this to Zhou Ruoxi. Should we talk to her about it?"

Zou Xiaoren looked at Huang Bingbing and said, "Azi, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to this Yang Ding, would you?"

"Third Brother, what are you saying? I have no interest in men. I just want to castrate him and train him to be my secret slave."

"Don't let Zhou Ruoxi know. We can just lie in wait in the shadows. It's not like we're the ones who did the dirty work."

"Alright, where is my secret servant, Xiang Tianyou?"

Go find it yourself.

Huang Bingbing left the conference room and went directly to the Dark Slave Training Floor on the 8th basement level.

Xiang Tianyou, disfigured, wore an iron mask on his right cheek and was covered in wounds.

This is because he started using strong medicine to train after joining the Poison Sting.

Normally, with his cultivation level at the middle stage of the first rank, he could only eat second-rank beast pills at most, and he would have to eat them in separate meals, not too frequently.

But now he's directly using Rank 3 Beast Cores, one a week, and one of those sells for 50,000 on the market.

If powerful energy cannot be absorbed, it will cause the vital energy to run rampant, resulting in skin tearing and flesh rupture.

But he has good talent in martial arts, and his cultivation level has indeed improved quickly.

"Greetings, Master. I have broken through to the Upper First Rank cultivation level."

"Just a first-grade high-level cultivator, what's there to be so smug about?"

"I will soon break through to the lower second rank, please rest assured, Master."

"Then you'd better work harder. I feel that Yang Ding is at least at the mid-stage of the second rank. This kid is hiding his strength."

Hearing that his nemesis was so strong, Xiang Tianyou couldn't accept it. He had already risked his life, there was no reason why he should be worse than Yang Ding.

"How is that possible? Could he really have advanced to the middle stage of the second rank just by having his wife transfer his true energy to him?"

"How do you know he wasn't deliberately hiding his cultivation level?"

"Who would hide their cultivation level? If it weren't for the system selecting him, he would have spent his whole life in a breeding farm."

"This is none of your concern. Focus on your cultivation. I have a task for you to complete in a while."

"Is it to kill Yang Ding?"

"It's not your place to kill Yang Ding."

……

School ended at 4 PM, and after lunch we headed straight to the farm community.

Yang Ding closed his eyes to sort out his thoughts.

Finding two people quickly in a building housing 20,000 people is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Brother Ding, there are two possibilities now. One is that the parasite hasn't changed hosts. It's hard for a child that big to hide. We can just search the closet."

"The second possibility is that it changed hosts. In that case, both people in the house are parasites. If the child's body needs to be disposed of, it would have to be in a suitcase. Checking the surveillance footage will reveal clues."

"Random analysis."

"How is this a random analysis? Isn't this perfectly logical?" Mao Jian argued.

"They have spatial abilities; they can escape to any place to dispose of a body if they want."

Mao Jian slapped his forehead. "Oh crap, I was careless. I didn't think of that."

"Let's do a normal check. Just be thorough. We have a roster, so they can't possibly run away. Let's see if there's any surprise."

When they rode their bicycles downstairs, about ten third-year university students were waiting at the door.

The boy in the lead, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, pointed at the group and asked, "Who's the group leader?"

"Yes, that's me," Yang Ding replied.

"I heard you've got a big shipment?"

"You've heard fake news."

The boy patted Yang Ding on the shoulder, "Don't be so stubborn. Your mediocre skills are no match for a big truck. Why throw your lives away for nothing? Why don't we cooperate?"

"How do we cooperate?"

"Let's search the building together. Once we find the target, our experts will hunt them down, and you'll get a 30,000 commission afterwards. How about it?"

"Our team has eleven people, is it 30,000 per person?" Yang Ding asked.

"Nonsense, of course it's just for you. If everyone got 30,000, what would we be doing?"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. Let's do it ourselves."

The boy was clearly annoyed. "Believe it or not, I'll snatch it from you guys later!"

"I don't believe it. My senior brothers are all handsome and talented; how could they do such a despicable thing?"

"Then open your dog eyes and take a look."

Huang Bingbing was already waiting downstairs. She knew that these senior students were specially arranged by the Stinger organization.

They threatened Yang Ding's life, forcing the Imperial Guards to take action.

She brought eleven walkie-talkie headsets today to facilitate collaborative operations.

Yang Ding led his team into the building, and the first thing they did was lock the downstairs door, prohibiting anyone from entering.

These past few days, with the curfew in effect, not only did Gangneung University dismiss students early, but all farm workers also had to get home by 5 p.m., and no ordinary people were allowed to linger on the streets after dark.

The security room has been cleaned up. The two newly appointed security guards on duty are so scared that they are trembling and dare not go out all day. The management office has also provided them with double-barreled shotguns.

He didn't know why so many parasites were hiding in this ordinary farm dormitory building.

"Security guards, have you found anything today?"

"No, I didn't see any of the big packages you mentioned leaving the house."

"Is there a list of people who have asked for leave and are not coming to work today?"

"Wait, let me ask the management office."

These days, if you want to go back to your dorm to relax, you have to ask for leave; otherwise, your home's access control system won't open while you're at work.

The list was faxed over very quickly.

"Send out two copies of the list of residents on duty at the farm today. We'll search for anything unusual tonight."

"Hold on."

Yang Ding gave Mao Jian a list of the residents on duty.

"You know the farms well, so just call them one by one and ask. If you find anything unusual, tell me immediately."

"OK."

"We'll first investigate couples who are on duty at the same time; if necessary, we'll break down the door."

After giving these instructions, Yang Ding, along with Huang Bingbing, Sun Li, and seven team members, began the investigation based on the two lists.

By the time all the lists were checked, it was already past 11 p.m.

Still, no clues were found. Everyone's body temperature was normal, and the house had been searched.

"Could it be that we're heading in the wrong direction?"

"Are these guys so mentally stable that they don't panic at all right under our noses?"

Suddenly, Mao Jian's voice rang out from the access control system beside him.

"Brother Ding, do you remember when we were checking last night, did anyone recognize my household?"

"Yeah, I remember, Brother Song or something."

"It wasn't supposed to be his shift today; he volunteered. Nobody likes working the night shift, especially not in this situation."

"What time do you go to the farm for the night shift?"

Let's leave around 3 or 4 pm.

"Check the elevator surveillance footage from that time to see if he took the elevator."

"Holy crap, that's awesome, bro, you've got a brain."
