At the annual awakening ceremony,
Li Yang actually gave up the SSS-rank profession [Scourge of the Zerg].
While everyone was still mocking Li Yang's foolishness,
Li Yang, who ...
The West District of Jianghai City is the most complex and chaotic area in Jianghai City.
There are many people and eyes here, and many people from chambers of commerce and other city-states will pass through here. It is a must-pass road.
Therefore, it is very chaotic here. It is basically impossible to control it. If you are not careful, your wallet may be stolen by pickpockets. There are scammers everywhere, robbing in the street, eating and free meals, stealing things, etc.
Most of them are from other places and are difficult to trace.
Moreover, the people here have already mastered the rules. They can almost predict when the management will come. They start to obey orders when the management comes to inspect, and as soon as they leave, the situation returns to chaos. Both sides seem to have a tacit understanding and acquiesce to this status quo.
You don't make things difficult for me, and I won't make things difficult for you. Let's all be safe and sound, and not cross the line.
As a hidden meeting point, this is indeed a good place.
Soon, Yang arrived at the detailed coordinate location.
Not long after, Xu Changfeng's figure also appeared.
"Hey, Yang boy, long time no see."
"Where's the stuff?"
Xu Changfeng didn't say anything, but silently took out a small box and handed it to Yang.
Yang opened it a little and took a look.
An ancient atmosphere instantly emanated from the box.
Yang's heart moved, this speed is indeed quite high.
It is so simple that it can be mistaken for the real thing, and most people probably can't tell the difference.
Yang has the real key to the Heavenly Gate on him, and you can still feel the difference if you look closely.
It does lack some spirit.
Close the gap and put the box away.
Xu Changfeng chuckled.
"Why don't you put the real key in there? Put it in there sooner so it can absorb some spiritual energy."
"Oh, don't worry, I don't have my keys with me."
Yang said lightly.
Xu Changfeng laughed.
"Hey, you're not a pushover either."
“Same here.”
Yang is not stupid. This place was found by Xu Changfeng. What if the other party set a trap for him and ambushed him to steal the key?
He simply didn't carry it with him. In this way, even if Xu Changfeng really had other intentions, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Xu Changfeng shrugged helplessly.
"Where is the trust between people? Where has it gone? As an old man, I'm so sad."
Yang curled his lips, thinking that the other party was just farting.
Trust between people is still based on knowing each other well. This Xu Changfeng is too mysterious that he can't even see through him with his holographic eyes.
When dealing with different people, use different methods.
We have to be careful with people like Xu Changfeng.
It's a rare opportunity to meet and interact like this.
Xu Changfeng continued to speak.
"Once you return, you'll need to hurry and leave the key behind. The Heavenly Gate is only expected to open in about two days, so you need to be prepared. The Heavenly Gate holds not only opportunities but also hidden dangers. Many gamblers dream of getting rich overnight, but in the end... they always end up heavily in debt."
As he spoke, Xu Changfeng's expression changed, and he looked down as if he had thought of something.
"What's wrong? You're already old, but you're still acting emo." Yang said with a smile.
"Hahaha," Xu Changfeng laughed, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
"I really envy you young people. It feels like I haven't accomplished anything in my life. It's hard to imagine that I'm an old man in my seventies and eighties, and I'm still at the same starting line with a kid like you, discussing how to enter the Heavenly Gate together. It's really dreamy. Are you really so ahead of your time, or have I been stagnant for the past few decades?"
Yang noticed the loneliness in his eyes, but he didn't think much about it and didn't ask.
Everyone has past experiences that they cannot bear to look back on. Even Xu Changfeng is quite old now, but when he was young, he might have spent more money than anyone else.
Who doesn’t have a few regrets in life? Sometimes people always wonder if they had done this at the beginning, would the current situation be better? If they had made another choice at the beginning, would everything be different now?
The past is too painful to look back on. The decisions we have made cannot be reversed. Everything is in the past.
On this point, Yang is more open-minded. As for his own people, it doesn't matter how he writes, it's still perfect. He just needs to live in the present.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There are too many people here and things might get out of hand if we delay." Yang said.
"Wait."
Xu Changfeng asked.
"Have you figured out the best way to get the key out?"
"Um, well..."
Yang thought for a while.
He really hadn't thought about this.
In his opinion, if he just threw the key out and released the information about the key's appearance, people from other forces would come and fight for it, so he didn't think too much about it.
Xu Changfeng continued to speak.
"This matter is crucial to our ultimate success. We must be absolutely sure of it and not be careless."
"If something unexpected happens, all our efforts will be wasted. Therefore, we must not reveal our whereabouts when we throw the key. To be safe, it's best to avoid the sight of those powerful forces. The darkness in the world is far deeper than it appears on the surface. As soon as they discover the trace of the key, they will immediately kill to silence us. Also, don't underestimate the resource networks of these powerful forces. It will only take a few moments to trace the source. If that happens, you and I will both suffer. We can't afford to offend them."
"Choose an opponent you think is suitable, preferably one that you think is easier to get rid of. Find a way to throw the key to them, and then wait for other forces to notice them, and you can escape."
"Or maybe throw the key out somewhere where it's hard to be traced, then spread the word and have someone come and grab it. Is that clear?"
Xu Changfeng gave repeated instructions.
After all, this is a serious matter and no joke. If he is not careful, even he may lose his life.
Now, the Heavenly Gate is about to open, and too many people are eyeing it.
At most, they possess the real key and have the initiative, but in reality, they are just like ants on the entire chessboard.
It is like being caught in the cracks, taking shortcuts, and making mistakes one by one.
After hearing his words, Yang also realized the seriousness of the situation.
He nodded silently.
In fact, he was a bit blindly confident before and looked down on those forces too much. He thought that even the top forces in Jianghai like One-Eyed Dragon could not do anything to him, so he did not take others seriously.
In fact, this time it is not just the Jianghai forces that are eyeing Tianmen.
The key in his hand was actually a hot potato, and it was not so easy to throw it away.
Xu Changfeng continued.
"But you don't have to worry too much. After all, I'm your partner. I've already thought about this. Do you know why I'm here? I've been gathering intelligence here these days. I've compiled a list of relevant power networks from the dark web for you. If you avoid these channels and informants mentioned above, there shouldn't be any problems."
As he spoke, Xu Changfeng handed over a parchment scroll.
