The next morning, the group gathered at the tavern entrance. The drunkard looked at the closed tavern and sighed, "As expected, the tavern doesn't sell breakfast."

"You didn't want breakfast, you clearly wanted wine." Fu Long was prepared, he got up and bought breakfast with Wen Ji, and came while eating.

So they were already full by then.

Wenji, however, found herself chatting with Si Qingyu at some point; girls always seem to find common ground.

Just as Ren Dongchang was about to move closer, Si Qingyu drew her longsword, which made Ren Dongchang move further away.

"Oh, so these are the people who are escorting us this time."

At eight o'clock sharp, three people appeared.

All three of them were wearing white lab coats, clearly researchers.

The man on the left is rather rugged, broad-shouldered, and muscular, resembling a bodybuilder.

It's hard to imagine that such a muscular man could also be so intelligent; it's truly outrageous.

The person on the right was thin and small, but his eyes had a captivating light, and when he looked at people, it always felt like he was dissecting them.

It's somewhat annoying.

The woman in the middle wore a white coat over her black boots and gold-rimmed glasses. She was fairly well-proportioned and exuded an air of refinement.

However, he had a very serious expression and was walking in the center position, so he was obviously a high-level person.

"Mr. Drunkard, these people should be trustworthy, right?"

The drunkard took a sip of his drink and said, "I can absolutely trust you. Also, Miss Ryūrin, you should have brought what I asked for, right?"

"Don't worry, as part of the deal, it will definitely satisfy you." Liu Lin's smile was completely absent, and her voice was somewhat stiff.

It's normal for researchers not to be good at socializing.

However, Fu Long had a feeling that the drunkard seemed to need something from him, which was why he was being somewhat humble.

Chapter 223 Heist Mission

"Alright, now that we've reached an agreement, can we go?" Liu Lin glanced at Fu Long and the others, then turned and left.

The drunkard immediately followed, but Fu Long didn't move, so Wenji stopped as well. She only followed Fu Long and didn't care about anyone else.

Since Wenji didn't move, Si Qingyu also stopped moving, and Ren Dongchang, who had been following Si Qingyu, also stopped.

Well, that's it. The three researchers, along with the drunkard and the bear, only walked a short distance before stopping.

Liu Lin looked back curiously, then glanced at the drunkard and asked, "Mr. Drunkard, what's going on?"

The drunkard was stunned for a moment, then walked back: "Fu Long, what's going on? You caught up."

Fu Long saw the pleading look in the drunkard's eyes and said, "Drunkard, I can give you face, but not everyone can get face from me. It's better to make some things clear beforehand. I just want to know, who is in command of this operation?"

Si Qingyu and Ren Dongchang were initially puzzled as to why Fu Long had stopped, but after hearing what Fu Long said, they understood.

That's right, the most important thing for a team is the commander.

If the drunkard is in charge, they won't say a word. After all, although the drunkard seems to be living a life of debauchery every day, he is quite intelligent.

But those researchers may have high IQs, but their ability to command is questionable.

The drunkard was also taken aback. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Lin walk back and say coldly, "Of course you listen to me."

Fu Long's face also darkened, and he sneered, "Listen to you? Sorry, who are you? What's your record? With a personality like yours, can you even lead a team properly?"

Liu Lin was not to be outdone and stepped forward: "Senior researcher at the Fourth Research Institute, is that a suitable title? Don't talk to me about achievements; in my eyes, you are nothing."

Fu Long looked at the drunkard, waiting for him to give him an answer.

The drunkard sighed and said, "Fu Long, please don't ask anymore. I have my own difficulties."

Fu Long shook his head. "You may have your reasons, but why should we bear them for you?"

"You drunkard, you need to make this clear, otherwise I won't take this mission. I can't control what happens to the others."

Wenji naturally agreed, and Si Qingyu nodded and said, "I don't accept this method either."

Ren Dongchang originally wanted to speak, but he held back. This short, fat man was actually quite clever.

Liu Lin snorted coldly, looked at the drunkard, and said, "Mr. Drunkard, you must give me an explanation for this matter. I can wait for you for half an hour. If I don't get an answer in half an hour, then our deal is off."

With that, Ruri walked to the side, clearly letting the drunkard figure out a solution himself.

The drunkard sighed and finally said, "Alright, I need a special heart."

The drunkard paused here.

The bear on the side got anxious and said hurriedly, "What's wrong with saying this? My boss has adopted several orphans, and they are all sick. Over the years, he has been earning money to pay for their medical treatment. One of the children needs a special heart, which only this research institute has."

This guy Xiong doesn't use many embellishments, but at least he gets things straight, and makes them clear in a very easy way.

Fu Long thought for a moment and asked, "Did they bring the heart?"

"They should have brought it." The drunkard sighed, helpless as he was.

"Does the surgery have to be performed by them?"

"No, they are just people from the research institute. I have already found a doctor, but we can only get the heart after we complete the mission, so please bear with us, everyone."

Both Wenji and Si Qingyu had red eyes. Xiong made it sound simple, but they could sense that the drunkard had sacrificed a lot for those children.

Fu Long grinned and said, "Oh, I see. Well then, I'm sorry, we won't be participating in this operation."

After saying that, Fu Long gave Wen Ji a look, and Wen Ji immediately understood. She pulled Si Qingyu and said, "That's right, Qingyu and I won't get involved either."

Si Qingyu was stunned. Was there some mistake? Why not participate? The matter of the drunkard was also a serious matter.

He did it for the children; what you're doing isn't right.

Just as she was about to speak, Wenji pulled Si Qingyu hard again, and in the end Si Qingyu did not speak.

When Ren Dongchang saw this, his face darkened, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

The drunkard sighed and said, "Perhaps you are right. These researchers are indeed not cut out for combat, but I have no choice. I'm sorry."

After bowing to Fu Long and the others, the drunkard turned around and waved for Xiong to leave with him.

Xiong glared at Fu Long and the others and said, "I misjudged you."

Then he chased after him.

"Why don't you get involved? The drunkard didn't do anything wrong in this matter; he just wanted to get that heart."

After everyone left, Si Qingyu glared angrily at Fu Long.

In his view, Fu Long was being selfish and self-serving.

Fu Long laughed and said, "Follow them? A researcher is in charge of us. Do you really think that if we encounter real danger, we can defeat the enemy and survive under her command?"

"Then we can just pretend to listen to them and do our own thing, right?"

"Putting your mouth on the surface while disobeying orders is indeed a method, but if you don't follow orders, it will become their excuse, and they may not be able to give the drunkard that special heart. Don't forget, they have the drunkard's weakness."

Fu Long raised an eyebrow.

Ren Dongchang nodded in agreement, seemingly agreeing with the point.

"Can……"

"There's no 'yes' or 'no' about it. I have a mission I'd like to invite you to join me. I wonder if you're interested. As for the reward, that depends on how much stuff we can plunder."

Si Qingyu snorted, clearly not taking the task seriously; she looked down on Fu Long.

Ren Dongchang's eyes lit up: "Rob it, this is good, rob who?"

“They’re just three researchers.” Fu Long looked into the distance and laughed.

Wenji realized what was happening and chuckled, "Teacher, that's a really underhanded trick. If we snatched it from them, we could also get the heart and give it to Senior Drunkard."

"Who said we gave it to him? We've gone to so much trouble, we have to sell it to him no matter what. As for the price, we'll discuss it later."

As soon as they said that, Ren Dongchang and Si Qingyu understood.

Wow, you really know how to play this game, but it's not a bad method.

"I'll participate." Si Qingyu's expression changed, and she became happy instead.

Chapter 224 The Drunkard's Cover

In a forest somewhere in the Republic of East Godot, where a battle had taken place, the corpses of chimeric ants littered the ground.

Five figures appeared in the forest filled with corpses. The one in the lead, with a tall figure, was none other than Liu Lin.

"Hmph, those guys, if it weren't for this mission, I would have taught them a lesson."

"That's what the big guy next to Liulin said."

"Lov, don't do anything reckless. Our mission this time is to bring back a relatively intact corpse. If you dare to do anything reckless, don't blame me for being impolite."

Liu Lin glared at the big guy, who immediately shrank back. Liu Lin was a big shot at the research institute, and he dared not offend her.

Meanwhile, the skinny man on the other side chuckled twice and said, "Miss Liulin, don't worry, we won't cause any trouble."

"That's more like it, hmph, but those guys are really despicable." Liu Lin couldn't help but think of Fu Long, that man, who just looked infuriating.

"There seems to be a lizard-like corpse up ahead, and it looks pretty intact," the skinny man said loudly, as if he had made a discovery.

"Let's go." Liulin, who was in front, led the way and headed in that direction.

The drunkard followed behind, sighing. There was nothing he could do; he had to ask for a favor.

“Let’s go, Bear.” The drunkard waved, but then froze.

He discovered that there was no sound behind him.

Wait a minute, the bear has been right behind me the whole time, how could it have disappeared? Where is he?

The drunkard quickly turned around, only to find the forest completely silent.

"There are enemies." After saying that, the drunkard opened his mouth wide.

The group of people, including Liulin, stopped and turned to look behind them.

In the forest, Fu Long, dressed in a long robe that covered his entire body except for his eyes, covered the bear's mouth with one hand and restrained its body with the other.
