New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 325 How about I train the [Orc Bandit Gang] for you free of charge?
Upon learning that the modern Knights Order had upgraded to the level of a 'firearms legion', and recalling the 'Shadow Armor' he had refined through 'Inner Universe', he felt it was incredibly rudimentary and outdated.

"So, you chose the [Knight] system because firearms can become more powerful through the enhancement and refinement of the [Knight] system?"

Ah Miao shook her head, crossing her arms in front of her: "Wrong! Completely wrong! I chose the [Knight] class, of course, for that unique 'super-large legion storage warehouse'! I like firearms simply because they are simple, convenient, and efficient to use. Girls shouldn't be fighting and killing; it's much easier and safer to stand still and shoot prey."

"You see, every independent Legion opens up a continuously expanding Shared Legion Warehouse as its membership grows. This warehouse is used to store Legion resources, including weapons, rations, medicine, ordnance, and so on. I chose to become a Knight Commander precisely because I valued this space warehouse that can store large quantities of weapons and facilitate smuggling!"

Yuan Zhu looked A Miao up and down. She had a hot figure, wearing a tank top underneath a camouflage jacket, revealing her white abs with clearly defined muscles. She wore army green hot pants, showing off her long, muscular legs, and mountain boots.

Her attire was light and refreshing, but not revealing; instead, it exuded vitality, reminding him of the 'underground arms idol' he had met for the first time.

But no matter how you look at it, she has nothing to do with the word "knight".

A-Miao stared into Yuan Zhu's eyes: "Hey! Are you provoking me with that impolite look again?"

Candle shook his head: "No. You don't seem like a real knight to me at all. Also, where are your bandmates? Where is your armor?"

Ah Miao retorted, "Have you ever heard of 'one man forming an army'? My army consists of only me."

"Then how will you become stronger? As far as I know, the [Knights] grow stronger by increasing the number of members. You're only one person; how can your [Legion] grow?"

A-Miao looked puzzled: "That's strange. Why do I need to become stronger? I chose the [Knight] faction for the 'Legion Warehouse,' and I've already achieved that goal. On the contrary, the more members a legion has, the more one's individual autonomy and personality will be gradually eroded, and one will be swept along by the collective, ultimately losing oneself. So why should I absorb subordinates? Team members?"

"On the contrary, I'm living a very comfortable and carefree life right now. If I continue to grow stronger, I'll face the risk of being excluded into an unknown dimension. I'll be forced to face a more dangerous environment and fiercer competition. Then I'll have to recruit members and gradually become kidnapped by the group. How can that compare to my rich and colorful life now?"

Yuan Zhu asked in confusion, "Aren't those cat-eared employees at [Cat House] your team members?"

A-Miao shook her head, opened the door, gestured for Yuan Zhu to follow, and replied, "Of course not. I just felt sorry for them and gave them some protection. It's just a normal employment relationship."

Seeing this, Yuan Zhu followed. At the same time, he recalled the events that had occurred at the Star Bank.

Ah Miao can often conjure up two guns out of thin air from her lower back, and she seems to have an inexhaustible supply of bullets. And when she stops firing, the guns can disappear into thin air as well.

Furthermore, when she looted the bank and took the 'Emerald Spear (Flying Sword)' from the pumpkin-headed security guard, she also took the items out of thin air. It now seems she is using the [Legion Warehouse], and its capacity far exceeds that of the [Soul Space, Space Pumpkin].

...

After going downstairs, as Yuan Zhu passed the bar, she immediately spotted her younger brother, Jun, who was trapped in a desperate situation. He looked embarrassed and terrified, holding a half-empty glass of 'children's mint liquor,' his cheeks slightly flushed, and he was being harassed on the chest muscles by a cat-eared girl. He looked exactly like Tang Sanzang who had accidentally wandered into the Spider Cave.

Upon seeing Yuan Zhu come downstairs, A-Tiao's eyes lit up, and she stared at him with pleading eyes, hoping her older brother would save her from this predicament. The cat-eared older sister here was truly terrifying; without any apparent attack, she left him utterly defenseless.

Yuan Zhu had no choice but to look at A Miao and whisper, "Tell your employees to let my cousin go. He's only eight years old, still a child!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, A-Miao's eyes widened in shock as she looked at her handsome and righteous younger brother, Jun, with disbelief.

His well-developed physique and build, combined with his youthful appearance, perfectly embody the image of a handsome, strong, and talented young man. He's the kind of perfect young man that mature women adore.

After marveling at the sight, A-Miao rescued the grateful Yuan Tiao.

At this moment, in the younger brother's heart, Miss A-Miao, whom he was meeting for the first time, had already ranked third, after his older sister and Senior Nie Yin.

...

The three of them left the Cat House and walked for another ten meters along the roadside before finally stopping in front of Yuan Zhu's dilapidated minivan.

Illuminated by the neon sign, Yuan Zhu inserted the key and gently turned it, then yanked open the car door, revealing it crammed full of goblins and orcs. Pairs of eyes, reflecting the light, stared at the three.

"Wow!"

Upon seeing the car crammed full of 'goblins and orcs', A-Miao exclaimed in surprise, "Should I praise your courage or laugh at your ignorance? Are you really stupid to cramm so many 'polluted beings' into one car! You're lucky you managed to drive into Cat Street. Otherwise, you would definitely be spending the night in the [Security Bureau]'s detention center."

Yuan Zhu: "What do you mean?"

A-Miao turned to Yuan Zhu: "Wasn't I clear enough? What do you think the daily work of the [Security Bureau] is? You gather so many infected people with 'frog-type contamination' together. One or two is fine, but once the number exceeds 7-9, the extraordinary energy in their bodies will be superimposed to form a high-energy reaction, which will be detected by Run Ning's 'Law System Security Monitoring Network', thus attracting the attention of the [Security Bureau]."

“You know that Running’s nights aren’t very clean, and they’re not safe either. The Security Bureau assigns varying numbers of investigators to patrol at night, depending on the importance of different neighborhoods, to handle various unexpected incidents. Your illegal gathering and transportation of ‘contaminated materials’ is also within the scope of our investigation.”

After her explanation, Yuan Zhu immediately understood. But she still couldn't accept it: "Just these few weaklings, put together, are they suspected of violating the rules?"

A-Miao rolled her eyes at him: "It may be trash to you, but what about ordinary residents? Any one of those 'polluted goblins' in your car could cause significant casualties if it got out of control. Not to mention the violent mixed-blood orcs! Those dark-skinned orcs of yours look very familiar. Did you buy them from that 'fruit orchard' in the suburbs?"

"These unregistered orcs, once discovered, are already suspected of illegal imprisonment and human trafficking. As for the goblins, have you obtained a 'Permit for Keeping Dangerous Invasive Species'? Even if you have, a legal resident is not allowed to keep more than six goblins, and they must be castrated. Furthermore, they are not allowed to undergo any 'dangerous modifications'. Which of these regulations do you think you meet?"

Yuan Zhu exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap!"

He never expected that Running would have so many hidden rules.

"Then... how do others deal with it? I know of many underground fighting tournaments that have participants with special abilities, and the Security Bureau hasn't destroyed these dens."

A-Miao sneered and pointed to her feet: "Heh, have you ever seen the [Security Bureau] come to Cat Street to investigate?" "Yes! You said it was good I entered Cat Street, otherwise it would have caused trouble. What's the reason? Do you have connections in the [Security Bureau]?"

A-Miao shook her head: "Where would I get any connections? I'm under close surveillance by the Security Bureau myself. All I need to do is apply for a special business license, pay some money to the higher-ups, and I can get special permission to house people with abilities in the operating area. For example, you cultivate the Holy Light System, so you should have registered and filed your information and have the corresponding documents. With these documents, your 'extraordinary power and mental fluctuations' are entered into Run Ning's Law Monitoring Network and marked as legal."

"In addition, those fighting clubs are also training 'extraordinary fighters'. As long as they pay a little money to register and pay taxes according to the rules, they can move freely. Even illegal underground competitions can be circumvented by arranging special rituals in advance, or by bribing the [Security Bureau] to turn a blind eye."

"In short, there are many ways to deal with this, but you absolutely cannot do nothing like what you did and just drive off like an idiot. What's the difference between your actions and those of the polluted beasts that came out of the Misty Mountains? You'll definitely be the first one targeted and then made an example of."

Yuan Zhu looked enlightened and thanked her verbally, "Uh... I was wrong, thank you for your guidance, Sister Miao!"

Ah Miao was also very satisfied with his attitude: "You're very good at talking, remember to say it more often in the future! I love listening to you."

...

At this moment, Yuan Zhu also began to reflect on his past actions. He had secretly bred a large number of corrupted goblins, yet he had not attracted the attention of the Security Bureau, nor had he been caught.

The reason for all of this, of course, is the haunted house itself!
This haunted house originally had its own protective barrier, which was used to isolate the Disease Garden from the outside world (the Security Bureau).

The house was left unattended for a long time, leading to the leakage of mental pollution from the 'polluted monster (multi-armed doll)' responsible for maintaining the haunted house, which affected the residents of the neighborhood. Therefore, it was treated as a minor task (exorcism) and handed over to a cleaning company.

After Yuan Zhu took over the haunted house, he added his own mark (Shadow Pollution [Shadow Eggplant]). After reinstalling the system, he not only hid the garden but also blocked the 'polluted goblins' he had raised.

Now, although he has taken out all the [Eggplant Essence], he did not linger in Running City, but transported them directly to the [Dharma Domain] deep in the Misty Mountains.

Not to mention that the [Law Domain] provides far greater protection and concealment than the [Haunted House], the 'mist' within the maze alone is an extremely strong shielding layer, and it will not attract the attention of the Security Bureau.

Therefore, the 'goblin + orc' transporting this bread tonight is the most audacious and conspicuous thing he has ever done since transmigrating. He is recklessly provoking the [Security Bureau] right under their noses, transporting a large amount of 'pollutants' in a high-profile manner throughout the city.

Fortunately, he parked his car within the [Cat Street] area, which provided cover. Otherwise, within an hour, a large number of investigators would have come to arrest him to boost their performance record.

Seeing Yuan Zhu fall silent, A Miao thought he had had a sudden realization and nodded slightly with an aunt's smile.

A partner who understands self-reflection and self-evolution is a qualified and good partner.

Yuan Zhu then looked up and pointed to the ugly goblin in the carriage who looked completely innocent: "Miaomiao, a senior student and I are planning to invest in building a [Frog Factory] at the foot of the eastern suburbs to secretly produce 'body tempering fluid' and cultivate these goblin warriors on a large scale. But after your reminder, I'm worried that if we cultivate a large number of 'superhuman goblins' (actually enslaving [007 Eggplant Spirits] to work overtime), will it attract the attention of the [Security Bureau] and have them bulldoz my factory?"

A-Miao replied, "I know something about the Frog Farm business. You need to apply for a business license at the Rain Academy. If you are legally and compliantly opening a Frog Farm, then you are legally qualified to raise 'Frog-type Modifiers,' so there's no need to worry. However, there are limitations on the number. You can ask your partner to apply to the authorities to maximize the number of contaminants."

"Furthermore, since it's near the foothills and not in the city, the [Security Bureau's] detection capabilities will be significantly weakened. The [Security Bureau's] main responsibility is to maintain security within the city, so its control over the suburbs will drop drastically. In addition, you can set up some special rituals, barriers, and anti-interference devices yourself. Finally, there is a method to target the [Law and Decree System Monitoring Network] that I can provide, but it will cost money."

Yuan Zhu: "You?"

Have you forgotten my main job?

Yuan Zhu instantly realized that the stunningly beautiful 'amateur underground idol' in front of her was the real boss. The bar was merely her public residence; in private, she was a queen of professional stolen goods dealing, smuggling, human trafficking, and arms dealing. Her business encompassed everything, primarily focused on seeking thrills and excitement.

A-Miao pointed to the warriors inside the carriage: "The goblins and orcs under your command are actually still quite weak. It's just that their numbers are so large that they attract attention. I can provide a talisman that, as long as they wear it and are not confronted by investigators who ask for their identification, can move freely in Running City without attracting attention."

Yuan Zhu nodded repeatedly: "I'll take it, I'll take it! But with our relationship, are you really willing to accept my money? That would be too hurtful to our relationship."

A-Miao agreed, "Indeed, that's what I think too. But if I give you the amulet for free, wouldn't that wear down our friendship over time? Are you the kind of person who takes advantage of good friends for free and can't get enough of small benefits?"

Yuan Zhu shook his head: "Of course not!"

"That's right, true friendship is about helping each other. I can't tell what level these goblins are at, but your few dark-skinned orcs are trained quite well. It's a pity they're all show and no substance, all physique and no fighting experience. Would you like to further develop and explore their potential? So they're not just empty shells with good looks but no combat experience?"

Yuan: "What do you want to do?"

"I think they look pretty good, how about I lend them to you for a couple of days? I have a job coming up, and I'll use them to fill in the gaps, acting as bodyguards and porters. You lend me your orcs, and I'll train them for you, teach them how to use firearms, and let them hone their tactics and combat skills in the Misty Mountains, nurturing them into top-tier fighters. By then, you'll have a 'Power-Type Orc Bandit Supergroup,' capable of both fighting and carrying, and even smuggling them to other cities to rob banks! I'll handle the disposal of the stolen goods and the escape."

After listening, Yuan Zhu felt he wasn't at a disadvantage. He was simply lending out a henchman to work for the other party, but the knowledge and skills he learned were his own. He also gained practical experience and could even unleash his potential.

Seeing that he remained silent, A-Miao pressed him for an answer: "What do you think?"

"That sounds good."

"Right, right! How about setting the mortality rate at 40%?"

"?!"

Yuan Zhu's eyes widened. "I only have five orcs in total, and you're planning to kill two of them? You didn't train them, don't you care?"

Ah Miao said with manipulation, "This indicator is actually quite low. Give them to me, and I guarantee I'll train them to the half-step [First Reincarnation] Great Perfection!"

The so-called "first transformation" is one of the signs that the demonized muscles in the "power system" have been developed to the limit (100%), completed the first round of muscle synthesis, and completely broken through to the "seed".
