Master Changsheng

Chapter 73, Section 072: The Quickest Way to Get Rich

The reunion was somewhat awkward.

of course.

This awkward situation was for Hanks and his team.

An Kai wasn't embarrassed at all.

He used the "Disguiser Mask" to change his appearance into that of an old man with a weathered face.

You can vaguely make out a resemblance to Hanks' face.

"How is it, Hanks? Does my imitation of your father's face look somewhat similar?"

Hanks put Widow Wang down and let her stand behind him, which conveniently shielded his back from the aftershocks of the fireball spell that had burned off his clothes.

Upon hearing Ankai speak, Hanks carefully examined Ankai's face, pondered for a few seconds, and shook his head: "Doesn't seem like it. My dead old man wasn't this kind."

Hanks and Ankai reunited about 100 meters from the entrance to Chaos City, while at the entrance to Chaos City, no one had already disappeared.

Especially at the entrance to Chaos City, those guys who were stopped by the [Heavy Armor] professionals.

As soon as the [Fireball] spell appeared, they swarmed forward, killed one of the guards left behind by the [Heavy Armor] class, and then rushed into Chaos City.

The arrival of these outsiders disrupted the originally peaceful and tranquil life in Chaos City.

The burning, killing, and looting were all races against time.

They all knew more or less about the situation in Chaos City, and were professionals who had come from surrounding countries.

Like Hanks, he believed that his second-tier strength was enough to allow him to roam freely outside Chaos City.

To their surprise, they encountered a Tier 3 professional in Heavy Armor upon arrival, and were not only blocked at the entrance of Chaos City, but were also asked for an "entry fee".

Fortunately, a mage descended from the sky and killed the [Tier 3] professional [Heavy Armor], giving them a chance to enter the city.

These people had a simple idea: to plunder as much as they could before Ankai actually entered the city.

Otherwise, once Ankai enters the city, there won't be any left for them...

Fortunately, Ankai had no intention of entering the city at that time.

He beckoned to Reed and his three companions, who were covered in black grime: "Go into the city and tell me the distribution of power inside in a day."

Upon hearing Ankai's instructions, Reed and the other three nodded hurriedly, "Understood, sir!"

As he spoke, white smoke billowed from his mouth.

Reed and his three companions turned and headed towards Chaos City, even though they had just escaped a calamity.

Moreover, this calamity was created by Ankai himself.

However, upon hearing An Kai's instructions, the four of them immediately agreed.

Without even thinking of reporting to Hanks, he headed straight for Chaos City.

Watching Reed and his three companions disappear into the distance, Hanks cursed under his breath, "Bastards!"

"Ankai...Young Master, aren't we going?"

Upon hearing Hanks' question, Ankai looked at Hanks with a puzzled expression.

He wondered, when did this old man become so stupid?

Alzheimer's disease?

Suddenly, Ankai realized that Hanks might not be the best candidate for his plan to take over Chaos City…

Faced with this question about dementia, Ankai did not respond; his expression was the best response to Hanks.

The city is currently in chaos, with outside professionals trying to take advantage of the situation.

An Kai didn't care. He had two reasons for blocking the way here and not entering the city.

Firstly, it's to guard against any hidden tricks left behind by the Chaos City within the city.

Secondly, looting is nowhere near as fast as... robbing!

Those outsiders who plunder the outer city of Chaos City will inevitably leave through this only entrance and exit.

Ankai and the others were here, so they could catch all the professionals who were about to leave after looting.

I used my own experience to tell them that in the desert, double-crossing is the fastest way to get rich.

Of course, tuition fees might be their lifeline...

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, now is not a good time to enter the city.

Perhaps he realized that his question was too idiotic.

Hanks chuckled awkwardly and fell silent.

This time, Hanks's mindset had changed upon their reunion.

His strength was [Third Tier, Second Level], but he outwardly displayed Second Tier strength, originally thinking that he could still easily overpower An Kai.

Looking back now, he feels he's not good enough.

From any perspective, An Kai could easily crush him.

Therefore, the difference in strength made him somewhat cautious when dealing with An Kai.

By placing Widow Wang behind him, he meant to prevent her from speaking carelessly, especially from referring to An Kai as "An Kai boy" or something similar, as she had done before...

At this point, Widow Wang was quite sensible; she stood behind Hanks, head bowed, and remained silent.

"Old man, what brings you back?"

"I thought the next time we met would be at your funeral."

Ankai's honest words left Hanks speechless. He finally gave an awkward laugh and said, "I was planning to grow old and die in the Duchy of Noya, but then I learned that the inner and outer cities of Chaos City had severed their ties."

"I returned to this Chaos City hoping to give her a life free from hardship."

Seeing Hanks's cheesy expression, Ankai regretted asking the question.

He never expected that Hanks, that old geezer, would actually fall for Widow Wang and keep her by his side all these years.

Now, we must use our remaining lives to give Widow Wang a peaceful and comfortable life.

I wonder what kind of mind-altering drug Widow Wang gave Hanks...

An Kai pursed his lips, looking rather bored.

"Exchange 2400 gold coins for 2400 magic stones. I need them tomorrow, don't forget."

After saying that, An Kai walked to the side and lay down in the desert, bored, waiting for someone to run out of Chaos City...

There is only one entrance and exit to Chaos City; all other ways to leave have long been blocked by the former city lord of Chaos City, who was at the fifth rank.

As Ankai stepped aside, a flash of magic appeared in Widow Wang's hand, and a new outfit appeared. Hanks quickly changed into the new clothes with Widow Wang's help.

An Kai glanced at her and sensed the Widow Wang's strength... an apprentice mage...

Widow Wang whispered a few words in Hanks' ear, and Hanks, with a smile on his face, walked towards Ankai.

As it happened, An Kai could also hear Widow Wang's mutterings clearly.

He also showed a hint of interest and said as Hanks approached, "Just say it, I'm interested."

Hanks was taken aback, then remembered Ankai's terrifying strength and felt that this was normal.

Regarding Ankai's strength, Hanks didn't even bother to take out the detector; there was no need to check, he was definitely at [Tier 1, Level 1]...

After a few seconds of hesitation, Hanks slowly spoke: "I have some thoughts on the orcs gathering in the desert, and I'll tell you now."

"Ankai, do you know how many continents our world has?"

"How many? One?" An Kai asked tentatively. He wasn't just making things up, because in his memories from his previous life, there really was only one continent.

Furthermore, the side quests never mentioned the concept of a "continent," leading him to assume that, like in his previous life, there was only one "continent" here...

To everyone's surprise, Hanks shook his head, a surge of confidence rising within him, and softly said, "No, there are five continents."

At this point, Hanks was only missing a pair of glasses; with glasses, he would have the perfect image of an old scholar.

"The five continents?"

An Kai sat up straight: "Go on."
