Han Fei remained optimistic. Although his start in Laterano wasn't smooth—he was almost mistaken for an intruder and shot dead by the prisoner—at least things were alright for now, which was good.

As for the rest of the work, it's simply a matter of finding a place to search.

While it's impossible to raid the core areas like the Papal Palace and the Cathedral, it's still possible to find ways to plunder the surrounding land.

Spaceflight is like this: if you land in a bad spot, you can only take the outer edge; if you try to take the inner edge, you'll run into the fully equipped team and get kicked away.

Gun cavalry: Hello!

"You have a good attitude."

Texas glanced at Han Fei, though she didn't even know what the purpose of her trip was.

She didn't think it was necessary for a place like Laterano to pay an outsider to carry out a mission.

Thinking of this, Texas couldn't help but pinch her brow. She suddenly felt that her boss wasn't so reliable after all, bringing her to Laterano without even telling her what they were going to do there.

"you……"

Texas had just started to speak when she habitually turned her head, only to find that the familiar figure beside her had vanished into thin air.

In an instant, a pure, icy bewilderment seized her, and before she knew it, a rare look of near-helplessness appeared in her usually sharp and calm heterochromatic eyes.

The next second, Texas, who had turned around to search for Han Fei's whereabouts, was instantly replaced by a more overwhelming astonishment. A crack appeared on her usually calm mask, and the emotion of astonishment truly surfaced on the girl's face.

She saw Han Fei a few steps behind her, squatting in front of a manhole cover, doing something.

Judging from the open manhole cover, it's not hard to guess Han Fei's mindset—he's probably researching whether there are any treasures in Laterano's sewers.

"boss……"

Texas had never lost her composure like this before. For a moment, she even wanted to say to Han Fei, "Why don't we go back to Columbia? I'll ask some acquaintances to introduce you to some jobs. Let's stop cleaning manhole covers."

But this was just a momentary impulse.

She doesn't want to go back to Colombia.

"Don't worry, it's coming."

Han Fei stood up, thinking to himself that the drop rate for this secret was really high; he could even find a small purple mark on a manhole cover.

A bottle of lemon tea, not bad.

"What are you doing?"

Remianne frowned and walked to the open manhole cover. As a member of the guard, she had to prevent Han Fei from causing trouble in Laterano.

So, even though Pink Hair was reluctant, she held down her skirt, covered her mouth and nose, and bent down to inspect the manhole cover.

"As a scavenger, I think it's necessary to search through manhole covers," Han Fei explained. "You never know, you might find someone else's lost treasure."

Han Feike found a human head in the manhole cover, but he didn't know who threw it in.

Upon hearing Han Fei's words, Texas couldn't help but cover her face with her hands. In Colombia, she had witnessed Han Fei's greed; back then, he would even pick up the lighter she had casually thrown away.

But this was the first time she had ever seen someone flip a manhole cover.

After inspecting the manhole cover, Remy found nothing unusual. She stood up, looked at Han Fei with some helplessness, and said, "Please don't do this kind of thing; it's easy to cause misunderstandings."

"Don't worry, I told you, I only scaveng, I don't cause damage," Han Fei said. "Besides, there really are treasures under the manhole covers."

"The Lateran sewers only have drainage systems, not the treasure you're looking for."

Remian's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she said, "Also, did you find anything good?"

As an elite member of the garrison, she had seen countless dangerous individuals, but she had never seen anyone so openly and confidently make "cleaning manhole covers" their career.

"Yes, I have."

Han Fei casually took out a lemon tea and handed it to Remy, saying, "Want a sip? I just picked it up."

Texas was about to lose her cool demeanor. She grabbed Han Fei's arm and said through gritted teeth, "Boss, if we're really that short of money, we can discuss other solutions. There's no need to dig up manhole covers on the streets of Laterano!"

Before setting off, Texas had thought about what kind of mission she would experience after accepting Han Fei's invitation. Perhaps it would be a bloody battle to eliminate traitors, a perilous journey to escort important officials, or even a life-or-death situation.

She had imagined countless possible missions, but none of them included accompanying Han Fei to remove manhole covers in Lateran.

In the distance, the confessional cart slowly turned towards the three people, the mechanical bearings emitting a slight hum, as if recording this absurd farce.

"No need, thank you."

Remian took a deep breath. For a moment, she even began to doubt that the man in front of her was not an alien. He was actually a Sarkaz, but he had used some kind of Originium Arts to hide the wings on his back and the halo on his head.

Otherwise, how could he be so eccentric—just like those playful Sarkaz who grew up in Laterano!

However, as an elite member of the guard, Remian was not affected by this incident. After calming herself down, she asked, "Are you going to continue 'scavenging' or come with me to the notary office to register that long gun?"

Han Fei blinked and said, "I want to scavenge while I go to the notary office."

Volume 1: Chapter 74 Why aren't they letting us scrape the land yet?!

As a native Lateran, Remien could walk to the notary office with her eyes closed and not make a mistake.

But today, the road seemed so long it suffocated her; every step felt like stepping on the beat of some absurd drama.

She watched as the man named Han Fei demonstrated what a "scavenger" was through his actions—he would pry open the manhole covers under his feet, rummage through the trash cans by the roadside, and even when he saw a bird's nest on top of a pillar in the square, his eyes would light up, and he would lift his leg to climb up!

If it weren't for that gray-haired girl named Texas who was quick-witted and grabbed him, Remi'an would swear on her Guardian Gun that this guy would have climbed up and ransacked the bird's nest in front of the whole city.

"Mr. Han Fei, please... stop rummaging through the trash cans."

Remian's voice conveyed a sense of utter exhaustion.

At this moment, Pink Hair Raotai was having some existential doubts. She even began to wonder if it was a bad day for her to go out.

Otherwise, how could she have ended up with such a strange guy?

In contrast, his companion, the Lupo girl named Texas, was as normal as a gentle breeze.

Although Remien could sense that the Lupo girl didn't like her, she didn't care.

Even if it happened again, she would still fire that shot. It was her duty as a member of the guard, and also her responsibility as an older sister to protect her younger sister.

"Does Lateran law prohibit rummaging through trash cans?" Han Fei blinked.

Remianne pinched the bridge of her nose and said weakly, "No..."

Lateran law is like a scale with an ambiguous expression; it's hard to say whether it's strict or lenient.

Is it lenient? But once Sarkaz is infected with Oripathy, a cold decree will banish him forever from the glory of the Holy City, never to return.

Is it harsh? The Lateran people living here can even blow up a pillar in the street after applying for permission, with the executioner's approval.

Minor acts like rummaging through trash cans, opening manhole covers to take a look, or raiding bird nests are naturally not prohibited by law.

"Did I rummage through the streets and leave trash everywhere?" Han Fei blinked again, his expression innocent as if he were discussing an academic question.

Remien remained silent for a full two seconds before finally squeezing out two words through gritted teeth: "...No."

This was precisely what was making her so frustrated she was almost internally injured. If Han Fei really dared to leave the streets littered with trash, she could immediately use "vandalism" as a pretext to handcuff him and bring him back to the guard unit for a "coffee."

But this guy just happened to hit every single spot that made her suffocate!

As if performing some kind of mysterious ritual, he meticulously searched through every trash can along the way, his eyes focused as if he were searching for high-value treasures.

However, when the lid was closed, all the trash lay inside untouched, as if he had only gently "greeted" it.

Han Fei can be so relaxed, but Remy An can't. She has to keep an eye on Han Fei, just in case he has bad intentions and has hidden some explosives inside.

That's why Remy has to check every manhole cover and trash can that Han Fei has opened.

Unfortunately, none of these things smell very pleasant.

For a fleeting moment, Remy even wondered if this guy was deliberately retaliating against her for the warning shot she had fired at him.

But whenever she raised questions, Han Fei would always pull out some strange things and claim that he found them in a trash can or a manhole cover.

Military-grade canned goods, a small knife, a radio, a wide-angle lens...

Many strange things appeared in his hands and were then put away by him. Judging from their appearance, they were all brand new.

So much so that Remian couldn't help but have a strange thought—when did we Laterano people become so rich? We can just throw away new things so easily.

"In short, Mr. Han Fei, please stop rummaging through trash cans and manhole covers."

Remien took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and said, "It's my personal request. In exchange, I can grant you one reasonable request within the limits of what's permissible."

Upon hearing this, Texas glanced at Remian; she didn't want to see Han Fei constantly rummaging through manhole covers and trash cans along the way.

However, Texas had it easier than Remian; at least she didn't have to check the trash cans or manhole covers again.

Therefore, after another unsuccessful attempt to persuade them, Texas gave up trying to stop them.

Han Fei immediately shook his head: "Then who will make up for the part of Haff I'm missing?"

He can't even eat in the core area anymore, and he can't even scrape in the outer area, so where is he going to make money?

We can't really go and challenge the cavalry!

Even the strongest shield-wielding dogs can't defeat two hundred musketeers.

"Hafcoin?"

Remien frowned; this was a type of currency she had never heard of before.

Although she had never heard of this type of currency, Remianne could guess that Han Fei's financial situation might not be very good.

Who among the wealthy would bother cleaning manhole covers for no reason?

Letting Han Fei continue "scavenging" was definitely not an option; Remy An really couldn't stand the smell anymore. So, she changed her approach and continued, "Mr. Han Fei, how long do you plan to stay in Laterano?"

"Four or five days," Han Fei said truthfully. "I will leave in five days at the latest."

The game time for Pu Ba and the Secret Aerospace team is the same, and the time for Han Fei's team is also exactly the same, five days.

Remian took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "How about this, I will personally cover all your food and lodging expenses in Laterano."

She paused, her gaze fixed on Han Fei. "In exchange, as long as I'm around, please stay away from those... trash cans and manhole covers."

After a brief moment of thought, Han Fei nodded and agreed, "Okay, deal."

Although not cleaning manhole covers and trash cans would reduce his contact with containers, it would still provide him with a place to stay—he couldn't very well have Texas sleeping on the streets.

Besides, Remian's suggestion came with a condition—no one was allowed to take it out while she was around.

In other words, as long as she's not around, can't you just touch the manhole covers and trash cans in Laterano without permission?

"Thank you for your understanding."

Remi An let out a long sigh of relief; she really didn't want to go through those things with Han Fei anymore.

Seeing the relieved pink-haired man, Han Fei couldn't help but ask, "Is it necessary to go to this extent? I understand you want to keep an eye on us, but wouldn't it be better to send someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Remyanne replied without hesitation, "If I were to pass the buck to my colleagues every time I encountered a little trouble, what would be the point of joining the guard?"

"Then why don't you just stop watching us?" Han Fei shrugged.

“Once I’m certain you are trustworthy, I will naturally stop watching you.” Remian’s expression turned serious. “Until then, I have an obligation to keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything that could harm Lateran.”

P.S.: Book recommendation: "Living in a Professional Otherworld, Starting with Summoning a Tearful Lament," synopsis as follows:

(This is for those who don't play card games and are new to OCG... probably.)

"Mr. You Tian, ​​what advantages do you think your profession has compared to other professions?"

"It's probably a little bit better than other professions," You Tian said, gesturing with a fingertip.

"A little bit stronger... are you sure?"

"You mean... when the Beastmaster is busy taking care of their contracted beasts and building a bond with them, you directly summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"

"You mean... when a mage is reciting difficult incantations and memorizing how magic works, you just casually unleash lightning storms and black holes?"

You Tian: "Of course, there's actually one more thing I forgot to mention."

"What is it?"

You Tian glanced at the Tearful Elegy Clan, Flash Blade Princess, and Silver City gathered around him, and said without hesitation:

"Package allocation object".

By the way, I recently went back to playing Dungeon Fighter Online, and I'd like to ask a question: does the Abyss only have pink orbs, and does the Great Abyss only have legendary orbs?

Volume 1: Chapter 75 New Friends

Han Fei is very strict about credit.

Having promised Remy that he wouldn't rummage through the manhole covers, Han Fei immediately behaved himself. He encountered several manhole covers and trash cans along the way, but he didn't bother to search them.
