Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

10 PM.

Qingzhu Club is closed.

Xu Zhiyi changed back into his own clothes. He originally wanted to treat Lin Wei to a late-night snack, but she was still angry. She glared at him and strode away, ignoring his calls.

Okay, I'll apologize to her later.

Xu Zhiyi shrugged and could only scan a shared bicycle herself, then headed towards the Liangxi River Bridge, enjoying the cool night breeze.

Today is the first day of National Day.

Wuxi, a city that has never had much of a nightlife, became lively tonight.

The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians.

When he arrived at the Liangxi River Bridge, he found that the ecological trail, which was usually deserted, was now crowded with people, some in small groups, others leaning on each other.

However, the large number of people didn't stop him from gaining experience.

He parked his car and walked along the eco-walk to the bottom of the bridge. From a distance, he could see a cleaner fish clinging to the bridge pier, motionless like a stone.

He looked around.

There were no cameras around, and nobody was paying attention to this area.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

A bat slingshot appeared out of thin air in his left hand.

With another thought, a tungsten steel dart appeared in his right palm.

He then took out a fishing reel, secured the fishing line to the end of the dart, and, after getting ready, fired the dart, hitting the cleaner in the head.

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating one Outland Water Sprite.

He retrieved his fishing spear and walked a long distance along the riverbank before finding another scavenger.

He drew his bow and shot a dart, hitting the scavenger squarely in the back.

He skillfully reeled in the fishing line, pulled the still-floating pleco ashore, and then took out his entrenching tool and gave it a good whack.

Just then, a gasp rang out from behind.

"Wow, that's awesome!"

Xu Zhiyi was slightly taken aback. She turned her head to look behind her and realized that four or five people had been standing on the ecological trail seven or eight meters away.

There were both men and women, dressed in trendy clothes, and they all looked very young.

The exclamation just now came from one of the boys with a perm and spiky hair.

He seemed to have drunk a bit too much; his face was flushed, and he was walking unsteadily. Yet, he still held onto the streetlight with one hand, took out his phone with the other, opened the camera, and took a picture of the street cleaner with great interest before pointing the lens at Xu Zhiyi.

"Hey bro, your aim's got it! I saw you shoot the fish through without even aiming! Your technique's got a bit of that butcher guy who went viral a few days ago, except he shoots mice...wait a minute!"

He looked at Xu Zhiyi carefully for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and raised his voice eight octaves, "I knew you looked familiar! You're the 'Midnight Butcher' on Douyin, right?"

The one about shooting rats! I've seen your video before!

Xu Zhiyi frowned and remained silent for a second.

He doesn't like being photographed, especially by a stranger.

However, considering that the other party might be a fan, he nodded.

"it's me."

"Hey, it really is you!" The guy with the pompadour seemed a little excited, leaning forward even more. "You're pretty handsome, and your harpoon shots are pretty accurate too, one harpoon per fish, like it's nothing!"

As he spoke, he zoomed in on his phone camera, as if he wanted to shove it right up to Xu Zhiyi's face to take a picture.

"Just practicing casually."

As Xu Zhiyi spoke, she packed her things to leave.

There are too many people by the river tonight; it's not a good time to fish.

"You're too modest! Too modest!" The guy with the pompadour seemed completely oblivious to the coldness beneath his polite words, continuing to film. "Are you still shooting fish tonight? I'll record a video for you later. I'm a big influencer on Douyin, I'll promote it and it'll definitely go viral!"

Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised, but still shook her head. "Thank you. But I can't shoot tonight. There are too many people by the river, and the fish have all been scared away."

"What about tomorrow?" the boy with the pompadour pressed. "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"uncertain."

Xu Zhiyi finished packing and prepared to leave.

"Let's add each other as friends first."

The guy with the pompadour haircut followed behind, chattering on and on: "We can work together. You take care of the technology and I'll take care of the operations. To tell you the truth, I'm one of the partners in the Starry Night Guild."

Our guild specializes in identifying promising new streamers, providing them with traffic support and professional management to help them become wildly popular in a short period of time!

Once you join a guild, you'll not only have someone to guide you, but also access to business resources...

"No."

Xu Zhiyi shook his head; he wasn't interested in joining a guild.

Seeing him about to leave, the guy with the pompadour quickly stepped forward, blocking his way, and said somewhat unhappily, "Bro, aren't you being a bit disrespectful?"

He waved his phone and said casually, "I'm giving you this opportunity because I think you have potential! If you sign with our guild, you can easily earn at least five figures a month just by selling some products!"

Isn't that much better than shooting fish here?

As a person, you must know how to seize opportunities...

Xu Zhiyi frowned and said seriously, "I have no interest in joining the guild. Could you please move aside?"

"I'm saying, aren't you... hiccup~"

The guy with the pompadour let out a burp, the smell of alcohol making people want to vomit.

He glared at Xu Zhiyi, annoyed, and said, "I was trying to be nice and talk to you about cooperation, and you're giving me the cold shoulder?"

Xu Zhiyi's gaze turned cold.

She didn't reply, but just looked at him quietly.

The boy with the pompadour felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze and instinctively took two steps to the side, making way for him.

He then felt a little embarrassed by being stunned.

He glanced at his friends watching the commotion, and as if emboldened, stepped forward to Xu Zhiyi again, saying with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "What, you want to fight us?"

"Heh~"

Xu Zhiyi smiled and put her hand into her pocket.

The boy with the pompadour's eyelids twitched, and he instinctively took half a step back, asking warily, "What are you taking out?"

Xu Zhiyi reached out her hand.

Holding a mobile phone in my hand.

"We live in a society governed by the rule of law. If you block my way or act aggressively in front of me, I don't need to resort to violence; I can just call the police."

The boy with the pompadour haircut was startled, his face turning red and then pale.

A companion wearing a black hoodie behind him couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull him back, saying, "Alright, alright, if you've had too much to drink, just say less. If they don't want to sign, that's fine. Don't embarrass yourself here."

"What's so shameful about me?" The guy with the pompadour shook off his hand, his voice still loud. "I kindly gave him a chance, and he ungrateful me!"

"They've already said they won't sign, why are you still stopping them?" Another boy with a ponytail chimed in, "Come on, let's go get some barbecue."

The guy with the pompadour was being carried by two men, one on each side, muttering under his breath: "What the hell? Does he really think he's some kind of internet celebrity? He only has a few hundred thousand followers, what's he so arrogant about? He's got no respect for you!"

Xu Zhiyi looked around.

Nobody was paying attention to this area, and there were no security cameras nearby.

He looked down at his feet again.

Many ginkgo nuts were scattered on the grass beside the path.

It was born from the old ginkgo tree next door; it was ripe and its bark was wrinkled.

He bent down and picked one up.

It's not big, less than two centimeters in diameter.

He held it between his fingers; the weight was just right.

So he stretched out his left hand, and the slingshot appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Insert the ginkgo nuts and pull the rubber band open.

Let go!

"Snapped!"

A very crisp popping sound.

"ah!!"

The boy with the pompadour screamed and jumped up as if he had been electrocuted. He touched his back with both hands, spinning around in pain, and howling like a pig being slaughtered.

"What's wrong with you?" His companion was startled.

"Something hit me! That fucking hurts!"

As he spoke, the boy with the pompadour turned around, glared at Xu Zhiyi who was still standing there, and angrily demanded, "Did you do it? Are you looking for death?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Xu Zhiyi asked slowly.

"You must have shot it with a slingshot!" The guy with the pompadour was seething with anger, fueled by alcohol. He strode over menacingly, rolling up his sleeves as he went. "Damn it, I wasn't even going to bother with you, but you just pulled off a surprise attack! I'm going to teach you a lesson today..."

As he spoke, he had already walked up to Xu Zhiyi and threw a punch at him.

Then, his wrist was grabbed.

The fist froze in mid-air, unable to move forward even half an inch.

The boy with the pompadour felt as if his wrist was being held firmly in a pair of iron clamps, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it back.

"Let go! You fucking let go!"

His face flushed red, and his fierce spirit had dissipated, replaced by panic.

Xu Zhiyi did not relax.

He simply looked at the other person calmly.

Then, he increased the force slightly.

The boy with the pompadour haircut turned deathly pale instantly.

Then his knees buckled, and he involuntarily slumped down, going from standing to kneeling on one knee, and then from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

The boy with the pompadour was sweating profusely, and his voice was trembling with tears.

At that moment, he was completely sober.

"It's going to end! It's really going to end!"

At this point, his friends finally realized what was happening.

"What are you doing!"

"Let go!"

Xu Zhiyi still didn't let up.

He held the boy with the pompadour hairstyle by the wrist with one hand and held his phone in the other.

The phone screen is lit up, showing the recording interface.

He started recording from the moment the guy with the pompadour turned around and started yelling, recording the entire process from when the guy threw a punch to when he grabbed the guy's wrist, without stopping for a second.

"He started it," Xu Zhiyi said calmly. "I only intervened to stop his violence in self-defense. Are you going to fight back, or call the police?"

The group of people were all stunned.

The boy with the pigtail glanced at his companion still kneeling on the ground, then at the phone in Xu Zhiyi's hand. He swallowed hard and didn't dare to go forward again.

The man in the black hoodie looked grim and whispered, "Brother, I apologize on his behalf. I'm sorry. He was just drunk; he's not usually like this."

Xu Zhiyi nodded. "I know, so I didn't use any force."

After saying that, he released his grip.

The guy with the pompadour felt like he'd been granted a pardon. He plopped down on the ground, clutching his wrist, grimacing and hissing incessantly, unable to utter a single word, feeling as if his entire wrist was about to shatter.

Everyone looked down.

He had a dark bruise on his wrist, and it was swollen.

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

You call this not using enough force?
