Wang Baofu has his bodyguards with him, so there's no need to look at him. Zhao Xin also lives in their territory, so there's even less need to look at him. The "they" that Boss Feng mentioned are, of course, Su Wang and Qi Mu who just went out.
After the servants who looked menacing agreed, they turned around and headed into the shop, presumably to deliver the message through the back door or some other means.
"At such a crucial moment, we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps. Sigh! I just don't feel at ease..." Boss Feng kept tapping his fingers on the table, muttering to himself in the empty room, "Maybe... I should invite that guy over to check on things!"
Without hesitation, Boss Feng handed over the task of coordinating with Zhao Xin to others, hurriedly went back to the back to grab something, and left.
...Time passed, and on the other side of Tianwu City...
Yu Ling, with a completely laissez-faire attitude, went around looking for excitement. She couldn't find a more convincing excuse to retake the course than to ride on the coattails of the protagonist's event. So she completely relaxed and focused on spending money on some fun things.
Although her cold and aloof personality is a bit inconvenient, the people collecting money are incredibly enthusiastic! Seeing that Yu Ling is so wealthy, they practically want to keep her here until she spends all her money!
Happy times always fly by. Yu Ling had spent almost a percent of the original owner's savings. Just when she was starting to feel bored, someone finally recommended a novel place to her.
—A miniature colosseum located indoors.
Of course, that's what they say, but these places don't really have a fixed name yet; everyone just sneaks in without saying a word. Naturally, only those who enjoy the thrill and have plenty of money have the chance to be introduced in by certain people. Without a guarantor, the arena, disguised as an ordinary luxury residence, will never be discovered.
On the enthusiastic recommendation of a shopkeeper who was making so much money that his hands were sore, Yu Ling followed a few regulars who happened to be going there and sneaked in. The entrance fee of five taels of gold was indeed very expensive, but the contents inside were surprisingly wonderful.
You have to admit, Tianwu City really knows how to have fun. The show here is about humans fighting wild beasts. I heard that most of the people here are freeloaders who can't afford to pay, and death row inmates who have successfully offended the city lord in this chaotic area. That's why they're thrown in to participate in the show.
Aside from the exciting battles between humans and wild beasts, most of the matches are duels between people. Players can win money by betting on others or by tipping their favorite side to buy weapons.
The mortality rate here isn't high, and the audience isn't particularly perverted, but those who enjoy watching bloody scenes are most likely those who want to see human conflict [beep] and wild animals teasing humans, which are outside the scope of mosaic censorship.
This was the most exciting thing people who had never experienced war could see, and many people were willing to pay to watch the performance.
After Yu Ling and her group entered, the show had already started. Instead of going with the two regulars, she paid extra to sit in a better spot at the front. Most of the people there were acquaintances, so there was no need to wear masks to hide anything, and it was also convenient to have snacks and tea.
After casually ordering a snack, Yu Ling didn't choose to place a bet. She ate while watching the tearing and squabbling battle below. Although it seemed immoral to take pleasure in other people's pain, Yu Ling wasn't even human, so why would she care about that?
The system also used data to simulate a box of popcorn, which watched the excitement from the sidelines of the system space, smacking its lips. The lack of a physical body could not stop it from enjoying the spectacle.
[Host, this guy's no good! He's been getting kicked for so long, get up and fight back!!!]
“This is obviously a fake fight. He’s just resting for a while because he’s tired. He’ll get up once he’s had enough.” Yu Ling saw through the mystery, but still felt that this place was unbelievably safe.
What's going on? The main characters have all arrived; it would be a real shame if something didn't happen in Tianwu City!
However, according to the law of conservation of energy, if things are too peaceful here, then something extraordinary must be happening elsewhere.
"Can you find out what the main character is doing? It's been almost a week, and there's still no news." Yu Ling asked the system in her mind.
【…No.】Wouldn't that put the system in a difficult position? It doesn't even have a physical body now, so where is it supposed to monitor things?
Yu Ling sighed and picked up another pastry. "Never mind, I can't count on you anyway."
As the saying goes, what you say comes true. While Yu Ling was discussing the protagonist Chu Fan, Chu Fan was also quietly on his way to her...
Chu Fan was sweating profusely as he and the lucky guy, Chang Sheng, were rushing along.
His life became quite colorful after Yu Ling left. First, by sheer coincidence, one of the thugs he had overthrown was a second-generation rich kid. He used his connections to surround Liu Changsheng's house. Chu Fan was determined to stand up for him, but during the fight, he accidentally caused a free demolition.
Liu Changsheng's house was destroyed, completely leveled. Left with no other option, the two of them pooled their money to stay in an inn. Chu Fan even paid out of his own pocket to hire some construction workers to help repair their house. Unexpectedly, they encountered another injustice, and he stepped forward again...
The two, who were being retaliated against, were surrounded again, and their half-built house was demolished. Chu Fan had no choice but to pay more money to rebuild it.
Before things had even calmed down for a day, Chu Fan offered to treat Liu Changsheng to dinner to apologize. This time, however, instead of him causing trouble, trouble came looking for him. Perhaps the hot-tempered person was someone Liu Changsheng knew before. Seeing that Liu Changsheng was at a high-end restaurant, he made a few loud sarcastic remarks at the dinner table.
These few words were obviously sarcastic and a bit vulgar, who wouldn't be angry after hearing them? Of course, Chu Fan had to stand up for his new brother, and before Liu Changsheng could stop him, he "whoosh" rushed out and gave the man a good beating.
As a result, this person also used his connections to surround Liu Changsheng's house, and Liu Changsheng's family happily received their third demolition compensation, with Chu Fan adding money again.
No matter who came looking for trouble, Chu Fan and Liu Changsheng would fight back without backing down, offending a whole bunch of people. One called out to B, another to C, and so on. The trouble escalated, but miraculously, the commotion didn't disturb the neighbors or Yu Ling, who was having fun, even though it was all outside Liu Changsheng's neighborhood.
This time, Chu Fan was determined to stand up for his brother. The fight had only just begun when Liu Changsheng, unable to bear the disturbance any longer, led Chu Fan straight to the arena.
Seeing that they had run further and further away, Chu Fan, feeling like a deserter, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liu, is this place you're talking about really going to keep those people quiet?"
