Two Realms: The Dark Wizard Evolves Madly in the Wasteland

Chapter 6 Night City, Payne Corporation!

Looking through the rearview mirror at Raven's calm, expressionless face, his eyes were filled with shock and awe.

"He did it... Oh no, I'm going to lose my job now!!"

Lin Tao looked bitter.

Not only is the other party the boss, but he can also shoot farther and more accurately than me, and most importantly, he is richer than me.

Outside the car, Li Jing slowly stopped, panting heavily.

She turned to look at the dissipating wolf pack, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. She knew Lin Tao's strength very well; even she couldn't do this...

"Mr. Lei... Shall we move forward or...?"

She stared blankly at the man in the car, dressed in a suit and with skin even whiter than hers, her eyes filled with disbelief and doubt.

Yesterday, I even taught a sniper how to shoot, telling him to use his muscles.

She knew Lin Tao's strength very well. Even Lin Tao couldn't kill someone with a single shot from such a distance while traveling at high speed and with bumps. She, as an enhancement-type user, wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

He, an enhancement-type user, actually thought he could teach a perception-type superhuman marksmanship, and even use his muscles.

Looking back now, Li Jing finds it somewhat amusing, but she is mostly puzzled as to why Lei Qingshui is a perception-type superhuman. In her opinion, his physical abilities should be enhancement-type!

Raven raised his hand and gently patted the dust off his suit.

"go ahead."

……

……

The convoy started again.

This time, however, the atmosphere inside the carriage became extremely subtle.

After witnessing Raven's superb marksmanship, Lin Tao wisely kept quiet.

Li Jing, who was driving, kept the accelerator floored the whole time, and her gaze in the rearview mirror became puzzled. She wondered how many drugs Lei Qingshui had taken to improve his physical condition to this extent.

Three hours later.

We've arrived in Night City.

True civilization is like having no civilization at all.

On both sides of the street, shacks built from discarded shipping containers and broken planks were crammed together.

In the shadowy corners, scantily clad and gaudy-looking women scanned passersby with numb eyes. If someone dropped a piece of dried rat or a bag of nutritional supplements, they would pounce on it like wild dogs.

At the alley entrance not far away, several burly human traffickers were pinching the chin of a thin little girl like they were picking out livestock, cursing and haggling over the price.

However, in stark contrast to this suffocating hellish state of the underworld is the extravagance and absurdity on the other side of the street.

Here, wealth does not bring dignity; instead, it fuels a chilling obsession with retro styles.

A stretched, bulletproof Rolls-Royce slowly drove over the potholes and mud.

The car window rolled down, revealing a face heavily made up.

She was a woman dressed like a medieval court lady, wearing an extravagant lace hat and a heavy pearl necklace.

Many men here not only wear suits, but also apply thick white powder to their faces like women, wearing heavy makeup and high heels up to eight centimeters high.

If Raven hadn't once used the Deep Blue crawler to visit Night City,

He almost thought he had traveled back to the industrial era in Britain.

When the SUV painted with the "Red Rose" logo rolled over the bumpy road like a steel behemoth, it didn't cause much of a stir.

"Mr. Lei, you've arrived."

A middle-aged man dressed in a sharp suit, with thick white powder on his face and a top hat came forward.

He bowed slightly, his attitude so respectful it was almost humble.

"Boss Lei, this is Mr. Payne, the boss of Payne Corporation," Li Jing introduced in a low voice.

Raven nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Payne Corporation building.

The building has more than 30 floors, and its exterior walls are entirely covered with bulletproof glass and alloy steel plates, making it stand out starkly against the gray sky of Night City.

Around the building stood at least twenty fully armed superhumans, including several powerful individuals at the second rank or above.

"Mr. Raven, please." Payne gestured for them to enter and led Raven and his group into the building.

The interior of the building is even more luxurious.

Crystal chandeliers, genuine leather sofas, famous paintings and antiques... every piece of furniture is worth a fortune.

Payne invited Raven into his top-floor office, personally brewed him a cup of black tea, and then took out a black metal card from the safe, handing it to Raven with both hands.

"Mr. Lei, this is your payment."

Payne's tone was slightly ingratiating, without the slightest hint of arrogance.

"Ten million Federal Credits have all been transferred to this black card. The PIN is six zeros."

Raven took the black card, scanned it with Deep Blue, and after confirming it was correct, said calmly, "Mr. Payne, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with you! It's a pleasure to work with you!" Payne nodded repeatedly, his face, covered in white powder, full of satisfaction.

Raven put the black card away, then looked up and stared directly at Payne: "Mr. Payne, I have another question I'd like to ask you."

"Mr. Ray, please speak, as long as I know it!" Payne immediately straightened his back.

Where in Night City can I get a real gene-enhancing serum?

Upon hearing this, Payne's smile froze slightly.

He hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, "Mr. Lei, gene enhancement drugs are contraband even in Night City. Although the federal government nominally prohibits private transactions, in reality..."

He paused, then continued, "In Night City, there's a place called the Underground Arena. It's a black market within a black market, and the most chaotic and dangerous place in the entire city. You can buy anything there, including gene-enhancing drugs."

"An underground arena?" Raven raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the underground arena!" Payne nodded.

"However, it's extremely dangerous there. Without someone familiar with the area to guide you, even if you have money, you can't get in. Besides, the people there..."

He shook his head and didn't continue.

Raven was silent for a moment, then stood up: "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Payne."

"Mr. Ray, you're too kind." Payne quickly stood up to see him off. "If Mr. Ray needs anything, I can send someone to show you the way."

"That's troublesome..."

However, within three seconds of Raven leaving, a burly man in black, standing at least three meters tall, appeared next to Payne.

He whispered, "Baron, that guy's bodyguard is only a second-tier enhanced user! Should we..."

He touched his neck in the direction Raven had turned and left.

However, Payne, who was standing in front of him with a friendly smile, simply shook his head.

"No need... I'm a businessman; what I need is a steady stream of business. I need to be elegant!"

"Besides, without him, who will transport food from Happiness City every month?"
