"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan stared in surprise at the modified gun.
"There was a stray cat with an awakened spirit outside just now, so I killed it!" Leng Yue said calmly.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"The cat is so cute, why did you kill it?" Jiang Yuan knew that he would have killed it without hesitation if he were in its place, but Leng Yue was a girl, couldn't she have shown a little more compassion?
"It seems the core exploded?" Leng Yue muttered to herself.
"Hiss!" Jiang Yuan's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. "Where is it? I'll go offer my humanitarian assistance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, how could a monster you killed with a gun possibly drop a core!" Jiang Yuan looked at Leng Yue with disbelief. "Big sister, you're just kidding me, aren't you?!"
"Then I'll go myself!" Leng Yue seemed somewhat displeased with Jiang Yuan's questioning, and carrying her gun, she walked into the dark, silent, deserted street by herself.
"Still angry?" Jiang Yuan scratched his head and thought to himself.
However, Jiang Yuan still followed closely behind, since he needed Leng Yue to lead the way to the Shen family's house, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find it on his own late at night.
Leng Yue kept walking, and because of the excellent visibility, Jiang Yuan didn't lose her. After walking more than 400 meters, Jiang Yuan was startled by something.
"Holy crap, it actually has a core?" Jiang Yuan stared at the mithril core on the ground, completely baffled. Wasn't it supposed to be that guns couldn't fire cores? If this wasn't a core, what was it?
Leng Yue had already crouched down and picked up the mithril core. "This is the power brought by the chip you gave me!"
"A derivative kinetic energy core?"
"Is that the name of the chip?" Leng Yue tossed the core to Jiang Yuan. "I've already installed the chip on the gun. That one is mine, and this core is yours!"
"Never mind, you can keep it and use it yourself!" Jiang Yuan took the core and tossed it back to Leng Yue.
“Then you open it for me!” Leng Yue looked into Jiang Yuan’s eyes.
Jiang Yuan's facial muscles twitched. "Did Ning Yanlan teach you that?"
Only Ning Yanlan knew about his opening of the core, and since Ning Yanlan had signed a master-servant contract with Leng Yue, there was a high probability that she would tell Leng Yue.
Leng Yue shook her head, "Ning Yanlan said she would ask you for a Holy Spirit Stone if she didn't have one. I only have one fifth-tier Holy Spirit Stone on me, which isn't enough to open the core!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Holy crap, are you kidding me?! You're treating me like a bank! Even if you were a bank, you haven't deposited any money with me!
However, he felt much better after hearing Leng Yue's explanation. At least Ning Yanlan hadn't revealed his secret. Although he would still treat Ning Yanlan well, there would definitely be some resentment between them.
"Give it to me!" Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand. Since it wasn't his, he wouldn't be stingy with this fifth-tier Holy Spirit Stone.
Having taken the Tier 5 Mithril Core and the Holy Spirit Stone dropped by the cat monster, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to take another Holy Spirit Stone at a loss.
I glanced at the Mithril Core; there were no unknown items among them, and the best one I could get was a robe with a one in a thousand chance.
"Use treasure hunting location? Locating this item requires three Tier 5 Holy Spirit Stones."
The Sky Eye's hints made Jiang Yuan understand the price he needed to locate the target, but the price wasn't expensive.
If you don't use location tracking, the loss will be a thousand times or even a hundred times greater. However, it also depends on luck. There are a total of twenty items in the Mithril Core. If you don't use treasure hunting location tracking, the Balance Messenger will also balance the probability of the robes in the core to five percent. Compared to one in a thousand, this is already a huge difference.
"Open!" A portion of Jiang Yuan's divine energy disappeared, and the mithril core was also opened, revealing the most valuable robe inside.
"Alright, open it yourself and see!" Jiang Yuan didn't open the box. Although he had lost four fifth-tier Holy Spirit Stones, Leng Yue was still valuable to him, so the Holy Spirit Stones weren't a waste.
Leng Yue disassembled the heavy sniper rifle and put it back in its case. Then she opened the box containing the mithril core, and a gray hooded robe appeared before her.
Jiang Yuan really liked the robe; its style was similar to the assassin's robe in Assassin's Creed, giving it an exotic feel.
"Clothes?" Leng Yue picked up the robe.
"This robe is both offensive and defensive, and it also has a certain degree of concealment, making it perfect for you!" Jiang Yuan used his Heavenly Eye to examine the robe. It was a sixth-tier excellent-grade robe with very comprehensive functions, which was especially suitable for Leng Yue, who liked to take sneak attacks.
Without a word, Leng Yue threw off her coat and put it on, and the robe fit her surprisingly well.
"It feels like a ghillie suit!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
Hearing the sound, Leng Yue turned her head to look at Jiang Yuan, then put on her hat and asked softly, "Does it look good?"
"Not bad, the front is more... more attractive than ever before!" Jiang Yuan swallowed the words "back is more attractive".
"Let's go to the Shen family. We should try to get out of the city before the beast tide breaks out tomorrow morning, otherwise the chances of us getting out of the south city will be very low!" Leng Yue said calmly, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.
“Then let’s go now!” Jiang Yuan nodded.
Tonight was going to be a sleepless night, not only because Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue were operating in the dark, but also because many people were evacuating from Nancheng overnight.
Among them were the scions of powerful families who wanted to seize Jiang Yuan's only cultivation technique. Since the beast tide outbreak had a long cycle, they, who had no foundation in Nancheng, certainly wouldn't stay here. Naturally, they evacuated Nancheng overnight.
"That's it!"
Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue hid in the shadows and observed a villa that had not been damaged much and had been renovated.
“There aren’t many people in this villa!” Jiang Yuan said.
“I scouted the place beforehand. There are only three strong people, including Shen Lixuan: a sixth-level bodyguard, Shen Lixuan himself at the fifth level, and his fourth-level cousin.” Leng Yue said, revealing the information she had already obtained. “I could kill Shen Lixuan, but that would prevent me from getting any information about the Holy Spirit Pavilion from him, so I didn’t act rashly.”
