I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Xingxiong stood in the mirror of the clothing store, looking at his new self with a subtle expression.

The new boss was really nice to her. He said he would change her clothes, but ended up buying all the clothes and accessories for her. His aesthetic was also very much in line with Xingxiong's own preferences, so he didn't make her wear a little white princess dress or anything like that.

that is...

I just feel that she is now a bit like a kept gigolo.

No, no.

How can you think like that?

For a boss like this, his followers can't possibly wear tattered clothes, right?

It's normal for big brothers to save face and dress up their little brothers and buy them some nice clothes...

Right?

Chapter 204: Viego's Fury

Xingxiong increasingly suspected that he was actually being kept by someone.

She looked at Viego beside her.

Viego looked at the snacks sold at the night market stall nearby.

Buy a portion of everything you see to try.

This is actually very normal. Every outsider who comes to Longmen for the first time will be curious about what the fragrant special snacks in these night markets taste like. If you really count them, it may be impossible to fully taste the specialties of Longmen even if you spend three or four days shopping.

but...

Not only did Viego buy one for himself, he also stuffed one into her hand.

How can it make sense for a boss to personally buy food for his subordinates?

It doesn't feel like the boss and the employee.

Instead, it looks like a young couple on a date.

Although Xingxiong herself has never been on a date, she has seen others date. She and Viego seem to be no different now, except that they are not as close as before. They just hang out and eat...

Even Xingxiong had to follow him back to the hotel at night.

——Although it’s impossible to live in one room.

"...Feathered Beast Egg? There seems to be quite a few people queuing up. Is this delicious?"

"......" Xingxiong was silent for two seconds, and replied: "It's quite famous. If you haven't tried it, you can give it a try."

Viego nodded and took Xingxiong forward to line up.

He took Xingxiong for a stroll from the afternoon to the evening. Longmen was indeed a very prosperous place. Even the slightly old outer ring city area, with a night market and a shopping mall, was so large that it took a whole day to stroll around.

"...Boss." Xingxiong suddenly pulled Viego's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Viego looked at her and found Xingxiong staring at a group of gangsters carrying steel pipes and knives walking by in a group not far from the night market. They seemed to be looking for something and seemed a little nervous. "Is that your enemy?"

"I guess so." Xingxiong moved a little closer to Viego and whispered:

"They are the people from Drug Dog. They tried to sell illegal drugs on my territory before, but I chased them away. I didn't expect this night market to be their territory... I guess they just took it over. Maybe I was seen by their people."

"...Boss, what do you want to do?" Xingxiong looked at Viego and asked for his opinion.

"If they find you, will they rush up and start fighting?" asked Viego.

"Yes." Xingxiong understood the purpose of Viego's question and answered firmly:

"The dog poisoners act recklessly. Even if it's their own territory, they don't care whether a fight will cause losses to the people who make a living there. In their eyes, accepting protection fees from these vendors is even a form of charity."

It has the flavor of Hong Kong and Taiwan TVB dramas and Young and Dangerous movies from the 1980s, 1990s.

Viego thought about it and stood still. "Forget it, just stand next to me and they won't be able to find you."

Originally, Viego wanted to kill this group of people directly.

But after thinking about it, he realized that his apprentice would eventually join the Guard Bureau, and if he openly killed and beheaded people in such a busy and crowded place, it might bring about some bad effects.

But if he cannot kill people and the black fog consumed cannot be recovered, then Viego will not be willing to consume his own "life points".

Plus Xingxiong said that this group of people would just rush up and start fighting.

forget about it.

Viego doesn't care, but the other vendors who make a living in the night market are innocent.

There is no need to let them suffer such an unexpected disaster.

but...

The leader of the gang suddenly grabbed a street vendor by the collar and angrily said, "You said you saw that ghost from the East Country here. Where is she now?"

"She...she was clearly here just now! Walking with a white-haired man. Boss, I would never dare to lie to you!" The man who was grabbed said in panic.

"We can't find the person anymore, what's the point of saying this now?!" The gangster let go of the panicked vendor and kicked him to the ground. The younger brothers behind him raised their steel pipes in a protest and pretended to smash them at several unrelated vendors nearby.

People hurriedly avoided the area, not wanting to get into trouble.

Even the merchants dared not show even the slightest resentment, for fear that a knife would fall on them at the next moment.

This is the outer ring.

There are no police officers patrolling the outer ring areas. Public security is maintained by gangs, and everything you say and do depends on their influence.

Most areas of the outer ring have "temporarily" not been included in the patrol range of the Guard Bureau.

During this day, Viego spent most of his time in the Outer Ring, walking around with Xingxiong and seeing many of the scenery in the Outer Ring.

On the way, he also asked about the income of the residents in the outer ring of Xingxiong.

The answer we got was that most people's monthly income did not exceed 8,000 yuan. If they opened a shop or a stall, they would have to pay more or less protection fees to the gangs in the outer ring.

There are also areas called "slums" where large numbers of infected people live.

Those infected can only work hard at construction sites every day. Once the mineral sickness breaks out, they will suffer unbearable pain, their income will be unstable, and they may not even know when they will die.

To be fair, compared to Syracuse, Kazdel, Colombia, and other countries that Viego had seen, Longmen was already good enough.

but...

In the words of the cheap apprentice, "it can be better."

Nor can we say whose fault it was that caused this situation.

It's just that this world is like this, so fucked up that it's outrageous.

Change always takes time.

Ore disease, infected, Originium...

The confusion I felt when I first came into this world has faded away.

But what followed was an inexplicable anger.

"Death and suffering are the most common things on this land." - As he learned more, Viego gradually gained a deeper understanding of W's casual words.

Perhaps Viego had had a vague idea before.

The values ​​and personality shaped by his previous life made it impossible for him to remain calm and turn a blind eye to these things as he was used to.

The memories and residual habits from the Ruined King made him unwilling to escape like a coward.

Perhaps, now that he has accepted the memory of the Ruined King,

Deep in Viego's heart, there also lurks the vision and ambition of "once" being a king.

What kind of tremendous power does it take to be able to change this suffering land by one's own strength?

He will do it.

That day will never be too far away.

Black fog surged out, and the angry group of young and dangerous people were all beheaded the next moment.

The lifted steel pipe did not fall, but fell weakly to the ground.

The cold blood gushed out, but was stopped by the strange black mist and did not stain anyone.

Xingxiong, who was about to rush forward, stood there in a daze, and subconsciously looked at the white-haired man beside him with a somewhat cold expression.

"It seems that there is truth in the saying that those who do evil will eventually perish." Viego smiled at her. "I'm sorry, I didn't give you a chance to show yourself just now, but... do you know where the leader of this group is?"

Xingxiong's eyes widened: "Boss, was it you just now...?"

"Guess?" The man winked at her.

"I'm too stupid to guess." Xingxiong came back to his senses and smiled. "I just happen to know the location of the poisonous dog. Come with me, boss."

"That's right, boss."

"Ok?"

"...Can I follow you in your work?"

"Weren't you afraid that I would be greedy for your body before?"

"Ahahaha... that was just a joke, boss, don't take it seriously, and I'm not afraid now."

"Oh why?"

"You're a good man, I can see that." Xingxiong looked at the man next to him and smiled.

Although his coldness and anger only lasted for a brief moment, Xingxiong still saw it clearly.

They will feel angry for the lower-class people in the outer ring and for what happens to those infected.

He can't be a bad person.



Chapter 205: Prince? No, I am the King

boom--!

With a dull slapping sound, the arrogant gangster and the drug dog fell into a peaceful sleep.

Xingxiong casually threw away the shield he had picked up as a makeshift weapon, glanced at the gangsters lying on the ground, turned around to look at Viego and smiled.

"Boss, are you satisfied with my ability?"

"Not bad." Viego nodded at her in affirmation.

Xingxiong defeated the poisonous dog and his minions without any injury, while Viego watched the whole scene from the side.

And Viego could sense that Xingxiong had not yet used his full strength.

This beautiful strong girl lifted up a burly man weighing over 100 pounds with one hand, not to mention it was effortless.

As expected, they are a ghost tribe that is known as "naturally excellent in physical fitness" in this alien world with many different races.

If she were to be equipped with a set of heavy armor on the battlefield, the scene would be...

It's simply not too beautiful.

Moreover, Xingxiong's every move during the battle was quite methodical. With Viego's current knowledge, it was enough for him to see that this girl was probably also a "martial artist".

Even the cost of initial training is saved.

If he could subdue him and gain Xingxiong's loyalty, he would have another powerful general under his command!

"If the poisonous dogs are gone, will the territories he controls be affected?" Viego asked.

"I can contact the Rat King Gang to take over. Even if there is an impact, it shouldn't be too big, boss."

"Rat King Gang?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, the Rat King Gang is the most powerful gang in the Outer Ring. It is also a local force that has existed since the establishment of Longmen. It has a very good reputation. Most of the 'rules' of the Outer Ring are also made by them. The boss is called the Rat King, but almost no one has seen his true appearance."
