Ji Xian quickly found Chanks in the next room.

Chanks wanted to run away as soon as he saw Ji Xian.

Ji Xian wasn't about to give him a chance. He grabbed Chanx by the neck, and Chanx was too scared to move.

Ji Xian dragged Qianx along and then took out the potion from earlier.

Without saying a word, he injected Chanx.

Ji Xian asked, "Tell me, what is the effect of this potion?"

Chanks said, "It's just a simple tracking agent; it only contains ordinary nanotrackers."

Ji Xian knew about this; when he first transmigrated, Xia Luoxue injected him with this substance as well.

However, Ji Xian didn't believe that the drug Qianx injected him with was that simple.

Ji Xian said, "I hope you can behave yourself and stop trying to pull any tricks. Although I seem kind, I'm really angry because you've provoked me time and time again. When I get angry, I'll twist your head off."

Chanks laughed and said, "No way, why would I lie to you?"

Ji Xian tightened his grip on Chanks' neck, and Chanks coughed painfully for a moment.

Ji Xian said, "Haven't you lied to me enough?"

"Not this time."

Ji Xian released Qianx and said, "Send me the software associated with the nano tracker in your body."

Chanx operated the bracelet and transmitted the software to Ji Xian face-to-face.

Ji Xian opened the software, and a human figure composed of light dots immediately appeared.

That's the effect created by countless nanoparticles moving around in the body.

Ji Xian looked at it and it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.

Chanks said, "I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Ji Xian nodded, thinking he had misjudged Qianx and that he wasn't such a bad person.

At that moment, a message from Lingling came through the bracelet.

"The drug you injected into Chanks contained two types of nanobots. One type is used normally as a tracker, and the other type will attach to the heart and can be detonated at any time. There are two software programs to control these nanobots, and he only transmitted one of them to you."

Ji Xian was overjoyed when he saw the messages Lingling sent.

Chanks had lied to him again.

But that's not important.

For Ji Xian, the more important thing was: Lingling had come looking for him!

This shows that Zero Zero did not abandon him.

"Lingling, it really is you! I knew it! You were the one who opened the door for me just now," Ji Xian said happily. He knew that Lingling, with her incredible abilities, could definitely hear what she was saying.

Then, after he finished speaking, all I saw were four words: "Shut up, you idiot!"

Ji Xian wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed and said, "Oh, I understand."

Lingling told him to shut up because she was afraid he would talk too much and expose Lingling's secret.

Ji Xian decisively stopped talking.

Then continue dealing with Chanks.

Ji Xian grabbed Qianx again, and without saying a word, pinned him to the ground and beat him up.

He's been lied to time and time again. If we don't teach him a lesson, people will really think Ji Xian is easy to fool.

He lied, and now that he's learned his lesson, he'll think twice before lying again.

Chanks let out a series of agonizing screams, and Ji Xian released him after finishing the beating.

Ji Xian said impatiently, "Be honest and send me the other software as well."

Chanks hesitated and didn't move.

Ji Xian got tired of it, grabbed Chanks' hand, snatched Chanks' bracelet, and kicked Chanks away.

Chanks is dragging his feet and doesn't want to give you the software, right? Then why doesn't Ji Xian just take Chanks' bracelet and control it himself?

This also saves us from having to do anything sneaky when using the Chanks transfer software.

After Ji Xian finished working on the software, he beckoned to Qianx to come over.

Chances dared not disobey Ji Xian now.

Ji Xian asked, "Do you know what to do next?"

Chances looked disheveled, all traces of his previous smugness gone, and he hung his head dejectedly, saying, "I'll listen to you from now on."

Ji Xian said, "You should have done this earlier. Why create so much trouble?"

Chanks regretted it too. If he had known it would come to this, he would have been better off not having any crooked thoughts in the first place and just honestly trading with grain.

After Ji Xian resolved his issue, he asked Lingling what had happened before.

Lingling explained to Ji Xian that she was just using the opportunity to get close to him when he was angry. But Ji Xian was inflexible and actually thought that Lingling didn't want to be with him anymore and wanted to go with someone else.

Lingling also told Ji Xian that she had become the queen of Gasoline Town and could mobilize the town's troops at any time.

Ji Xian was greatly surprised. "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence," and in just half a day, Ji Xian had already been viewed with new eyes.

However, upon closer reflection, Ji Xian realized that his situation wasn't bad either. He had the life of City Lord No. 1055 in his hands, which was almost the same as becoming a king.

Ji Xian didn't plan to stay and went straight back to Gasoline Town to find Lingling.

It's not just that a person should be looked at with new eyes after half a day's separation, but also that half a day feels like three autumns have passed.

I didn't realize its value before, but I only knew how precious it was when I lost it.

Ji Xian left the underground space and found the entire city on high alert.

Many armed soldiers patrolled the area.

Ji Xian's attack on the city lord naturally triggered a series of reactions within the city.

When these people saw Ji Xian, they all pointed their guns at him.

The disheveled Chanks hurriedly followed, shouting, "Don't shoot! Let him go! Don't stop him if he comes again; he's a distinguished guest of our city!"

Some of the guards who were close to Chanx knew what had happened and were puzzled: how did an assassin suddenly become a distinguished guest?

Only Chanx knew that bullets could hardly inflict effective damage on someone of Ji Xian's caliber. If he wasn't killed outright, Chanx would be the one who died, and Chanx dared not provoke him again.
