Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 411 is as numerous as the dogs on the street.

Most misunderstandings in this world can be attributed to Zhang Ze, either as being entirely responsible or bearing primary joint responsibility.

For example, the yellow-skinned mouse, Pikachu.

There was no Pikachu in this world originally, but because there are so many people talking nonsense, Pikachu came into being.

This story begins two years ago.

Back then, Qianji Town was just a night market, and A-Li wasn't a square pig yet.

Ah Li hasn't completely fallen into depravity yet. Occasionally, she still has the idea of ​​being self-reliant and having enough to eat. To supplement her family's income, she runs a fortune-telling stall at the night market in her spare time.

In an attempt to boost its business, under Zhang Ze's entrepreneurial guidance, it ate a counterfeit Pikachu plush toy that Zhang Ze had made.

From then on, the image of the yellow-skinned mouse became popular.

Some naive people even believe that there are such things as yellow-skinned lightning rats in this world.

Azang, Erlang, and Miaomiao—that's how it is with these two people and one cat.

After witnessing Ah Li, in her yellow-skinned rat form, being manipulated by her senior sister and falling hopelessly in love with her breasts, the three instantly realized the business opportunity.

So they paid Ah Li to tell their fortune.

Let's figure out where we can catch a yellow-skinned mouse that looks exactly like you.

Ah Li, on the other hand, talked nonsense, pointing to the sky and the ground, secretly spinning her turtle shell and making wild calculations, pointing the group to Changzhou in the South China Sea.

—This matter is indeed recorded in Chapter 236—

Changzhou.

Although the yellow-skinned rats that were the target of the hunt were problematic in many ways, the three unfortunate men were completely unaware of it.

"By the way, when exactly is the delivery coming? When did you place the order, meow?" Meow asked softly.

"The order was placed yesterday," Erlang replied softly. "As for when he'll be back..."

He rolled over, sat upright on the tree branch, and took out a stack of letters from his storage artifact.

Erlang said, "Let me see. Hmm, within the Dongzhou area, free shipping is available for one-day delivery, excluding Changzhou, Yunnan, and Xihe counties."

“Didn’t we use the free shipping coupon?” Azang twisted his waist and sat down on the tree.

Meow Meow snatched the instruction manual from Erlang's hand to quiet Azang. It used its paws to hold the small delivery instructions, and finally found a line of small print in the gap of a page.

[Please note that this free shipping coupon does not guarantee free shipping. Delivery time will be the same as with NiuMa Express.]

"Minimum standard? What's the minimum standard for? A week?" Erlang leaned closer and asked.

The three heads huddled together, with Meow Meow sitting in the middle flipping through the instruction manual. Soon, it found another clause tucked away in the margins of a page.

[Delivery time via NiuMa Express is subject to the table on the attached page. Due to the use of NiuMa Express, Qianjige and NaDuTong are not responsible for any lost packages.]

Erlang took a supplementary page from Miaomiao's hand, unfolded it, and quickly found their delivery time.

"Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, our package will take at least three years to arrive," Erlang replied.

Azang, Meow Meow, "."

"Damn it, I knew there wouldn't be anything good in the lottery!" Meow Meow crumpled up the instruction manual in her hand and threw it under the tree.

"Then what do we do?" Azang rubbed his arms, starting to back down.

The rain and mountain tides are really something. Since the delivery can't reach us, there's no point in staying here any longer.

“Why don’t we withdraw from Changzhou first, purchase the necessary supplies in the neighboring prefectures and counties, and then return here?” Azang suggested.

"That's the only way, meow." Meow nodded somewhat unwillingly.

It's really lucky that I got lost all the way to this place. I wonder if the nest of yellow rats in that cave will still be there when I come back next time.

“If you ask me, we don’t need to leave,” Erlang, who had been silent all along, suddenly said.

As he spoke, he waved for A-Zang and Miao-Miao to move aside, then took out the treasure bag sewn into his waistband and carefully took out an iron box.

The metal box was secondhand, and the words "Peninsula" on it were blurred and illegible; it was unclear what it was originally used to store.

"This is something I won in a lottery when I was buying goods from that guy in black in Qianji Town. He said it was some really good stuff from inside Qianji Pavilion."

Erlang boasted.

"Then why didn't you take it out before?" Azang pinched Erlang's ear.

Erlang, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! I'm not hoarding things; good things should be saved for last."

"Stop making noise, meow, let me see what's inside!" Meow snatched the box and opened it directly.

Inside were two capsules, and judging from the notes attached to them, they were two sets of the Thousand Machine Armor test machines.

"Holy crap, isn't this supposed to be a top-tier item from the Thousand Machines Pavilion? How did you manage to draw this?"

Azang picked up one of the white capsules and sighed.

Although they weren't in Qingjing when the Qinghe meeting took place, they still managed to get some video footage from that day through Xiaohetao.

She had seen the videos of the Thousand Machine Cultivators sparring at the Qinghe Gathering, and of Lily occasionally sneaking a prototype flight.

This Thousand Machine Armor can directly elevate the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the Golden Core realm.

Fighting a proper Golden Core cultivator might result in being beaten to the ground and unable to get up due to the difference in their spiritual power and experience, but it should be more than enough to deal with this kind of wild and clumsy demon beast.

Meow picked up the blue capsule, looked at it for a while, and said, "If we have this, then there shouldn't be any problem, Meow."

"Although my Invincible Overlord Thousand Mech Armor is not yet complete, it can still be used for a quarter of an hour without any problem. Maybe I can even catch that Crimson Tiger Python Ape and bring it back with me."

"It'll definitely work, meow. The ferocious beasts here are all country bumpkins, meow."

"How do I use this?" Azang asked impatiently.

Jiro turned the now empty peninsula iron box upside down, opened the lower compartment, and poured out two more belts.

"Wear the belt around your waist, insert the capsule here, shake this cane while chanting the incantation, and finally..." Erlang then pulled out a small pouch from his waistband and took out a notebook from it.

"Finally, remember to strike a pose and shout 'Transformation!'"

Jiro looked at his memo and said.

Having made up their minds, they put away their disguises, left the Thousand Machine Magic Artifacts for surveillance on the tree, and then returned to their temporary base nearby.

They stood in front of the small tent behind the bushes, the two people and the cat lined up in a row.

"Following the Way of Heaven, one governs all!"

"Daylight, the white Milky Way awaits us! Transform!"

"That's it, meow!"

As the trio left to go home and transform, Zhang Ze, dressed in the authentic Thousand Machine Armor, fell from the sky.

He looked around, puzzled, and asked, "Where is he? We agreed to deliver the goods here, where did he go?"

Zhang Ze circled the big tree and soon found a crumpled instruction manual under it.

"Could it be inside the cave?" Zhang Ze looked at the dark cave entrance not far away and walked in.

—Knight kick, but the dividing line of Armor Hero—

In the cave.

Wearing two sets of Thousand Machine Armor, one blue and one white, Jiro and Azo walked in front. Meow Meow did not transform or take out its Invincible Overlord Thousand Machine Armor. Instead, it followed behind the two like a normal cat, on all fours.

Due to frequent geological changes in Changzhou, most of the caves here are complex, with countless forks in the road and collapsed dead ends. It is easy to get lost if you wander around here.

The three walked cautiously, communicating via internal communication as they went.

"Won't it attract attention?" Azang asked.

Erlang: "No, both the Wind Eagle Armor and the Snow Mastiff Armor are engraved with the highest level of stealth arrays. In addition, with the invincible speed of my Wind Eagle Armor, even if I am discovered, I can easily leave."

"And what about me?" A-Zang asked.

Erlang, "Someone has to cover the rear, right?"

Azang, "?"

"Shh, stop fooling around, we're almost at the lair of that Red Tiger Python Ape, meow," the meow that was trailing behind reminded him.

Azang and Jiro, who were walking ahead, quickly fell silent and simultaneously activated the mechanism on their Thousand Machine Arm Armor, releasing two small, spider-like Thousand Machine Machines to scout ahead.

However, what they didn't notice was that as they passed a rock, a thin wire was silently snapped by Erlang's foot.

Even the cat didn't notice.

After traveling safely for a while longer, the group finally found their destination.

"We've arrived..." Lying behind a rock, the two people and the cat looked into the cave and saw a big pink-bottomed monkey sleeping soundly with its back to them.

"Shall we go now?" A-Zang asked nervously via internal communication. This was the first time she had ever done something like challenging a protagonist who was above her level.

"Don't rush, let's prepare first." Erlang adjusted the crank on his belt. "This armor has a high-output mode. Although it lasts for a short time, it doesn't require activating a spirit energy array, which is perfect for a sneak attack..."

After saying that, he gently pressed his belt, signaling Azang to transform with him for the second time. Meow Meow also put on the Thousand Mech Armor that it had put together and turned into a mechanical cat.

However, although the pirate king's products are all good, in order to make it easy for people to distinguish which is genuine and which is pirated, both sets of Thousand Mechs have some special little touches.

"Sarah, come and count your sins!"

A deafening electronic sound suddenly emanated from the belt, accompanied by a powerful burst of music.

At the same time, a large number of red and black advertisements appeared on the mecha's visual screen in front of them, obstructing their view. Of course, the sound was still played through the speakers...

"Taizhou's first online gambling site..."

"Spirit Stone Massager, a wonderful choice..."

"Which Wind Chaser is the strongest? Look no further than the Thousand Machines Black-Clad King..."

"Non-member users can close this ad after forty seconds."

The sudden turn of events threw the two into a panic.

What was supposed to be a sneak attack turned into an arrogant, direct provocation.

The strange cries of advertisements and belts echoed through the cave.

Stealth is no longer an option; now there are only two paths to choose from: fight or flee.

However, if there is any good news, it is that although the belt is very loud and the advertising is very loud.

However, the high-output mode of the Thousand Machine Armor on his body did indeed take effect.

Feeling the immense power flowing through the internal circuits, the trio did not flee, but instead chose to launch a frontal assault.

"A hero cannot desert his post!"

Unfortunately, what awaited them was not a heroic battle, but a merciless trap.

Erlang's Wind Eagle Drill passed through the Red Tiger Python Ape's scaled body without any hindrance. Meow Meow, who walked around the wall and bypassed the Red Tiger Python Ape, also found nothing in the nest.

The monkey is a projection.

There was nothing in the nest.

"Huh? Where's the monkey?"

Just as the three were stunned, three beams of light descended from behind and struck them.

Looking back, they found that the way they came was blocked, and standing there were two red tiger pythons and a money cat.

For some reason, there's a strange sense of déjà vu between them.

'What an awful feeling! Why are they copying me?'

The same thought arose simultaneously in both the monkey and the human.

The two monkeys, one male and one female, were also dressed in Thousand Machine Armor, but theirs were specially made and not fully covered, but rather bikinis.

The red tiger python ape's hard, large stomach was exposed, trembling incessantly as it roared.

Moreover, the monkeys are wearing the genuine article.

"No, what happened to the original? Where did their Thousand Machine Armor come from?" Azang took a step back, holding an axe and looking warily at the people opposite him.

"Don't panic..."

Although he said that, Erlang was actually a little numb.

He saw that from the stone wall behind the two red tiger pythons, mechanisms began to pop out continuously, and a series of thousand-machine cannons were aimed at him and his companions.

'Damn it, when exactly was it exposed?'

'And how come these two monkeys are so advanced?'

Just as Erlang was preparing for another desperate fight, an untimely voice broke the tense atmosphere.

Hello, is anyone home?

Zhang Ze, who had been lost in the cave for a long time, finally crawled out of the ground. Looking at the unique shapes of the two groups of people, although he was curious, he still fulfilled his duty as a courier and asked.

"The package has arrived. Is anyone home? Please answer it."

"our."

"Roar!"

Erlang and a red tiger python raised their hands almost simultaneously.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

The red tiger python ape bared its teeth, seemingly wanting to devour these thieves who not only copied its handsome image but also broke into its home to steal packages.

Zhang Ze ignored them, saying, "I have important business to attend to and I'll be leaving soon. You can continue fighting then. I don't care if you're all family or not. Just give me your serial numbers."

Erlang quickly raised his hand and said, "358..."

"Wrong." Before Erlang could finish speaking, Zhang Ze shook his head and said, then looked at the red tiger python ape, "You."

Red Tiger Python Ape, "Gurgle gurgle, gurgle gurgle, gurgle gurgle, gurgle."

Zhang Ze nodded. "Yeah, the serial number is fine. You guys are 'not really Team Rocket,' right? Leave your fingerprints, take the package, I'm off."

Erlang, "?"

Just as Zhang Ze turned to leave, Erlang suddenly raised his hand and said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? We're the ones who ordered the package."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and handed his delivery slip to Zhang Ze, but Zhang Ze only glanced at it before returning it to him.

"It's fake. Your delivery slip is a counterfeit. You didn't place the order with that guy in black, did you?" Zhang Ze looked at Erlang with a strange expression, and at the Thousand Machine Armor that Erlang was wearing with obviously wrong paint.

"Is there...is there something wrong with that person?" Erlang suddenly asked uneasily.

“That guy is a piracy dealer. He only has refurbished or counterfeit goods.” Zhang Ze looked at Erlang sadly.

“So…” Erlang took off his Thousand Machine Armor and handed the capsule to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze said, "The first batch of old models that were phased out were modified, but they can't compare to the new version at all."

Erlang, "Then this..."

He then took out a wildlife detector.

Zhang Ze: "A counterfeit, a fake children's toy, the contents are all made up, you don't actually believe it, do you?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ze skillfully pressed the button, and Pikachu's cute voice came from the machine.

Recorded by Fu Ji.

Erlang, "So, the yellow-skinned mouse Pikachu..."

"The virtual characters are all made up by us. But you might see the real ones in seventy or eighty years. Some people in the Beast Taming Sect have already started breeding yellow-skinned rats. They will be real then."

Erlang, who was already on the verge of collapse, started taking things out of the storage bag on his waistband, while Zhang Ze commented on each item.

In the end, it was discovered that apart from the Peninsula Iron Box, which was a second-hand genuine product, everything else was either a counterfeit or a fake product consisting only of the outer shell.

Zhang Ze looked at Erlang with amazement. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen someone so easily fooled.

"How much did you spend on all these things?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

"I didn't spend any money... I got them all from the lottery," Erlang muttered to himself.

Zhang Ze: "What kind of lottery?"

Erlang, "New Fried Food De branch crowdfunding, original shareholders invest, eight benefits, develop downlines..."

Before Zhang Ze could ask any more questions, A-Zang, who had been listening in, kicked Erlang and then grabbed him by the collar, saying, "So you've been lying to me all this time? All the savings we've worked for..."

Erlang pulled out two handwritten shareholder certificates, "They've become this..."

Meow Meow and Azang were swaying precariously.

I'm a little short of oxygen and can't breathe.

Zhang Ze sighed when he saw Erlang's condition and went over to help him up.

Zhang Ze, "Tell me your name."

Erlang's eyes lit up. "You want to help me protect my rights and recover my losses?"

Zhang Ze shook his head. "No, I just wrote down your name so I can sell you health supplements when you get old."

Erlang, "..."

Seeing Erlang's unfortunate state, the Red Tiger Ape lost its desire to eat them.

After all, eating idiots can easily lead to infection.

They ignored Erlang and Azang and started opening the package right in front of them.

A whole box full of figurines, all kinds of them. As for why Zhang Ze would carry these things with him...

Don't ask, you won't know anyway.

After taking out the toys and figurines from inside and admiring them for a while, the two red tiger pythons activated the mechanism on the rock wall, preparing to put them into the express delivery locker as well.

Erlang, who was almost unconscious, suddenly sat up in shock from his deathbed and exclaimed as he pointed at the very primitive-style figurine display case.

"Yellow-skinned rat!"

The two red tiger-python-apes turned their heads at the same time, hissing fiercely as if issuing a warning.

Zhang Ze stared at the half-cabinet full of black stones and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be... as many as stray dogs on the street?"
