It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"what……"

Miss Black Rabbit was obviously not recovered from the shock, she just turned her head mechanically and looked at him.

"Um... what kind of ability is this, old man?"

"Well...how can I explain this to you?"

Xu Shi thought about it and said, "It's actually quite troublesome, but to sum it up, it can be summed up in six words."

"?"

"knowledge is power."

I am almost cured, but it feels numb and painful...

I heard that another writing friend also got sick, and the news also said that the recent period has seen a peak in the number of reinfections. Everyone must take care of their health.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 172 Xu Shi, you make me so mad!

Cheese, no, knowledge, is power.

Wen Shengkui's ability is indeed a bit difficult to explain.

But there is a very similar example that can be cited, that is Shenhe.

As we all know, Shen He's "United We Stand" has a hidden effect, that is, the more popularity he gathers, the more people's hearts he wins over, and his own qualities, such as mental strength, physical fitness, etc., will also be strengthened.

Mr. Wen’s ability can also be understood in this way, except that what he needs is not people’s hearts, but knowledge.

The more he learns and the more he understands, the stronger he will become in other aspects. Not to mention that the old man is a scholar and does not need to spend too much extra time and energy to improve himself - this is just a part of his daily life.

Therefore, what Long Tianding had thought before, that "the old man is too old to do anything", did not exist at all. If Wen Shengkui decades ago was a dog with 500 layers, no, the God of Death in the Desert, then now he must be 50,000 layers or more...

Or maybe it's SS level, Xu Shi secretly sighed in his heart. In his opinion, anyway, this is the sage who is holding "Lun Yu" seriously.

Especially since this thing is hard to drop once it is stacked, you can lose people’s hearts, but it is not so easy to throw away the knowledge you have acquired.

Of course, that doesn't mean the old man is completely invulnerable - as an SS-level "Upgrader", he has no fewer complications than Xia Ke'an. For example, his paralyzed legs cannot be restored no matter how much he is stacked... Don't ask why he doesn't use technological means. What can we do if he doesn't want to?

In addition, Wen Shengkui is already in his twilight years, and some decline in his functions is inevitable.

The most fatal of them is "memory decline", which may be the only way to weaken the old man's strength. But even so, he will not be like Shen He, who vomits blood when encountering backlash. The value of his top-level supernatural powers can be seen.

Thinking of this, Xu felt a little regretful. After all, this was no longer the heyday of his grandfather. He had talked to Xia Ke'an before, and the other party had clearly stated that he had seen the old man rubbing fire and attracting lightning with his bare hands, just like the masters in the fairy tale dramas.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he could keep going, Wen Shengkui would have a good chance of breaking through the SS limit and becoming an unprecedented SSS-level "promoter", but unfortunately, there is no if, and the slightest mistake will lead to a regret that can never be made up.

However, even now, without considering the backlash of complications, he still has the ability to overthrow the other five conglomerates on his own and become a big dictator.

It’s just that the old man didn’t have that in mind. What he was thinking about was developing the people’s livelihood and society of the entire city... Including this time, it was because Long Tianding crossed the line first, otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have done this.

“Is this true?”

After his explanation, Gu Yi understood it, and then she shrank her neck uncontrollably.

Wow, is this the old man that I dragged him to play games with before?

Didn't my boss say anything disrespectful to him because he played badly? Guigui, think about it quickly...

"Or I'll let you study more."

The answer to this question was right here, and Xu Shi just scratched her nose jokingly.

"Why don't you learn?"

Miss Black Rabbit muttered a few words, saying that it was really boring to learn those things, so it would be better to just play games with the old man.

“I’m the one who pays you.”

Xu Shi said confidently, "When you finish learning, I can just order you around, right?"

"Don't give me that. If I really had that ability, would I still work for you?" Gu Yi said indignantly.

"So you want to give up?"

"No."

Gu Yi moved closer to his arms and immediately gave in.

Xia Ke'an lay quietly in Xu Shi's arms, blinking her big watery eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

While a few people were joking around, the dust had settled in Sin City.

Or maybe the dust had already settled - although only Long Tianding died, the way he died was a bit too shocking. It was not even enough to say that it was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, it was more like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

How could the others dare to make any small moves? Everyone knew that this gap could not be made up by numbers. The S-level Long Tianding was killed in one move. Even if ten thousand of them were small fry, they would not be enough to fill the gap.

Do you want to disappear in an instant? No. If you don't want to, just stay put. When you are out there, the first priority is to survive. Gang loyalty is nothing.

As he was speaking, Ning Wei reappeared in everyone's sight, holding a guy who looked as pale as death in his hand.

Who else could it be if not Lin Wenhua?

There were a few more black marks on Butler Ning's face, which looked like motor oil? It seemed that all the cyborg killers that Lin Wenhua had left behind for self-protection had been killed by him.

"master."

Ning Wei wiped off the mess, took out the well-behaved little black dog from his arms, handed it to Wen Shengkui, and pretended to be calm and shook off the few dog hairs stuck on the lining.

"Oh?"

Mr. Wen gave him a strange look and asked, "What did I tell you before?"

This little action would definitely not escape his eyes.

"I……"

Ning Wei's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "I...will write my resignation letter when I get back."

"Forget it, never again."

Wen Shengkui suddenly smiled, then closed his eyes and ordered, "Push me back, I'm tired."

"Yes, thank you for your generosity, sir."

Ning Wei glanced up, breathed a sigh of relief, and by the way, he connected the phone and arranged a doctor for the old man.

No matter what, the master is so old, the consequences of using his abilities cannot be ignored.

Xu Shi just wanted to laugh when he saw this. "Brother, do you want to whistle again? Your facial expression and movements just now ruined your character!"

However, he had never paid attention to the interaction between his grandfather and Ning Wei before. It seems quite interesting now... Come to think of it, he is the gold medal butler who has served the old man for so many years. To make an analogy, he is like Su Lin to himself.

If you really want to be serious, maybe he should be the one under the car...

Why not just call him Big Brother from now on?

While he was daydreaming, the old man's voice came to his mind, "I will send the person to you later, and I will not take care of the rest."

"...Okay, thanks, Grandpa."

Xu Shi hurriedly agreed, thinking, "Old man, can you still shout across the air?" Then I might as well answer, I guess he can hear me.

"Anyway, I only have one request. If you want to take care of it, you should do it well. You can do it yourself or find someone else to do it. If you make it like Long Tianding again, I will not forgive you."

"sure."

Watching the master and servant on the screen walking away, Xu Shi seemed to be lost in thought.

What is tactical retreat (hidden boss)?

Of course, my grandfather’s spiritual realm is indeed extraordinary.

"Then I'll leave first too?"

The show ended, and Qi Maoyang stood up with a look of unfulfilled desire, "Mr. Xu, you three can have fun by yourselves. If you have anything else, just tell me."

In fact, he was quite glad. It would be a pity not to see such a big show as the SS-level "Upgrader". Dad, you are not lucky enough...

But apart from being shocked, he didn't have any other thoughts.

The main reason is that his ability is really useless... What can a C-level ability like "blink and take a picture" do? It was somewhat useful when I was playing with photography, but it still needs to be connected to a computer, otherwise where would the picture come from? Out of his mouth?

Therefore, he has never pursued a breakthrough in this area, but it is also very satisfying to watch the big guys take action.

"Okay, I won't keep you here?"

Xu Shi saw him off and said, "Go and gather your strength. We will be busy later."

"I understand, don't worry."

Qi Maoyang nodded. He knew what Xu Shi was referring to.

As for the aftermath of public opinion, don't they have to do it "imaginary"?

Anyway, even "Dragon City" is destroyed, so there won't be any variables no matter how you think about it... Qi Maoyang couldn't help sighing as he reviewed everything that happened today.

You think this city is big? A groundbreaking change was completed in less than a day.

But you say this is abrupt? Sorry, every detail has been arranged long ago.

The only one who may not have a sense of existence is "Prism"? But that is just on the surface. The medicine that each member of the Inspection Bureau has, as well as the treatment of the residents in the city, are inseparable from them... When he took people to "Shark Tooth" just now, he had already seen a large number of medical staff.

And you have to know that "Shark Tooth" and "Dragon City" were completely destroyed, and the six major financial groups shrunk to four. This alone is enough for "Prism" to rise.

If there is anything else to argue about, it will probably be when the benefits are distributed?

……wrong.

After his thoughts wandered for a while, he suddenly realized a neglected spot.

"Speaking of which, it's fine if Director Xie didn't show up, but why didn't I even see Director Tang from the Inspection Bureau?"

He asked curiously for a while.

He was not the only one who was curious. Gu Yi was also curious. When she heard him say that, she hurried over to listen.

Xu Shi still smiled without saying anything, indicating that he should think for himself.

"…Shouldn't we call him Director Tang?"

Qi Maoyang was not stupid. After a little thought, he responded, "I think you will have to change your words in the future, right? For example... Governor Tang?"

"Governor?"

Miss Black Rabbit was confused. Where did this name come from?

……

For your information, there is only one position in the City of Night Crime that can be called Governor.

That is the head of the city hall, the nominal supreme ruler of the city.

And the situation was just as Qi Maoyang had imagined. At this moment, Tang Shuang was leading a small team of people, standing in the office of the current governor Yue Chizheng, confronting the old man.

The atmosphere was quite tense.

"Tang Shuang, you're crazy!"

Yue Zhizheng, who usually looked plain, was sweating profusely at this moment, but his tone was surprisingly full of energy, "What are you doing bringing these people here? Rebellion?"

"..."

Tang Shuang did not respond, but just played with the memory card in his hand.

It contained evidence of Yue Zhizheng's crimes, and the relatively detailed information was naturally due to his special little hobby.

I have to say that Zhang Shijun’s business habits really helped a lot and are still useful today.

Tang Shuang didn't worry about where these shady materials came from, but he was very clear about who the so-called "anonymous reporter" was.

Who else could it be besides Xu Shi?

Faced with such a thing, she certainly would not tolerate it, so she immediately brought people here and blocked the confused Yue Chizheng.

But after so much time has passed, she is still stuck here, obviously she hasn't figured out what to do specifically.

In other words, what did Xu Shi want her to do by giving her this?

It is not difficult to convict Yue, but the problem is that this little thing may not be enough to restrain him for long.

It was not easy to catch Jiang Fengshan at that time, let alone Yue Chizheng who was even more powerful.
