"It's you again."

Chen Guan pursed his lips behind his mask; he should be the one to say those words.

"He Chenguan." Guan Jinyue called his name, as aloof as ever, seemingly without any hostility.

"You have a great memory."

Give me the box.

Guan Jinyue's words were short but clear.

"This is my job."

"The core of the dragon-like monster shouldn't be in these people's hands."

Guan Jinyue tried to communicate patiently.

"It's none of my business who has it. I'm just responsible for delivering it to the destination, taking the money, and leaving."

Guan Jinyue looked down at him, her long silver hair hanging down from the side of the carriage.

"Do you know where this demon core came from?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Chen Guan refused to listen to Guan Jinyue's persuasive words, but Guan Jinyue continued, "It was extracted from the body of an immature dragon-like creature."

Chen Guan did not answer.

Guan Jinyue didn't continue. She wasn't one to explain herself, and she had already given them face by saying so much.

You have three seconds.

Chen Guan stared at her for two seconds.

At the third second, he stood up and stuffed the metal box in his hand into the inside pocket of his coat.

"If you absolutely must take it, then you'll have to take it from me."

Guan Jinyue's brow twitched slightly.

"You can't beat me."

"I know," Chen Guan said, sounding somewhat helpless, "but I need the 90,000 yuan for this order."

"I can give it to you."

"You should know our industry rules: Miss Wanted by Billions."

Guan Jinyue remained silent.

She really couldn't solve the subsequent problems for him.

"Give me the box one last time."

Chen Guan quickly made a judgment in his mind.

He couldn't use the scythe, he couldn't use Baal's power, he couldn't reveal any fighting methods related to the coffin, but he also couldn't directly hand over the items.

Using Regret? Chen Guan has no intention of opening this Pandora's box for the time being.

Therefore, He Chenguan cannot defeat Guan Jinyue.

He was destined to lose the fight, but he had to play like He Chenguan should.

Chen Guan mentally checked his popularity points balance.

Then he found something in the system panel.

Enhancement type, Guardian.

The most basic effect of the former white moonlight is that it is invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire.

The blue bar is still there, and the health bar isn't empty.

Exchange price: 200,000 popularity points.

He had saved up for so long by living frugally, and it really hurt to spend 200,000 yuan in one go.

But now is not the time to be stingy with money.

[Exchange for protective aura abilities, consuming 200000 popularity points.]

[Exchange successful, triggering a chain reaction. Life-type ability "Resilience" has been upgraded to Life-type ability "Creation and Regeneration," now at the Gold rank.]

Chen Guan glanced at the effect briefly. Well, that's great. Who says there's no perpetual motion machine in the world?

The basic effect of Creation Regeneration is to restore health and mana, while Protection consumes mana and locks health, which explains why it can be upgraded in chains.

In addition to his invincibility buff and the second phase...

This is truly an abnormally high standard.

Having considered this, Chen Guan held something in his right hand.

It wasn't his old partner, the sickle, but a simple, even somewhat shabby, iron hammer.

The hammerhead was made of cast iron, pure black, without any patterns or inscriptions. The surface even had some rough edges left from the casting process. The handle was covered with a rough anti-slip leather, making it look like a tool that was casually bought for a few dozen yuan.

That is indeed the case.

I bought it to repair my dorm room, but I never expected it to come in handy today. A renovation hammer has been used in a high-level game.

Guan Jinyue's gaze fell on the iron hammer, and he paused for a moment.

"Are you going to hit me with this?"

She was somewhat uncertain. Guan Jinyue had seen too many divine weapons, so she was rather surprised by the ordinary hammer in front of her.

She had never seen such a shabby weapon when she was in elementary school.

"I'm poor." Chen Guan weighed the iron hammer in his hand, speaking with self-righteousness: "I can't afford good weapons, so I'll make do with this."

Guan Jinyue didn't reply; she jumped off the edge of the carriage.

At this moment, the distance between the two people was less than four meters.

The leopard howled again, its limbs bent, and its whole body pressed down to the lowest point.

"You'd better keep your beast still." Guan Jinyue ignored the leopard and stared at Chen Guan: "A third-tier mutated species can't last a single move against me. You should know that."

For various reasons, Guan Jinyue did not want to clash with the monster, especially since this was a rare mutated species.

Leopard looked completely bewildered. Tier 3? Me?

In its daze, it even forgot to whimper.

"It doesn't move."

Chen Guan reached out and pressed down on Leopard's head, saying that Leopard was now more precious than he was.

"Be good, lie down."

Chen Guan loosened his grip on the hammer, his gaze passing through the mask as he looked at the silver-haired woman before him.

The protective power had already begun to circulate within the body, a thin yet dense layer of protection covering the skin's surface. From bones to muscle fibers and capillary walls, every tissue was evenly reinforced, as if an invisible film had been coated onto the entire body.

He couldn't punch Guan Jinyue, at least not in the name of He Chenguan, otherwise, having taken Baihu's things for nothing, his superior would inevitably cause him some trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Guan moved.

The hammer was swung upwards from a low position, relying purely on strength and speed to fling the ordinary iron tool out.

Guan Jinyue turned slightly to the side, the hammer brushing past the hem of her clothes, creating a slight breeze, without even touching a strand of her hair.

"Too slow."

Guan Jinyue's assessment was brief and somewhat cold, but she did not retaliate. Instead, she took a half step back, her dark pupils watching Chen Guan's next move.

Chen Guan ignored her and immediately brought down the second hammer. This time, the hammerhead was off-target; it wasn't aimed at her face, but rather at the floor of the carriage beneath her feet.

The metal plate deformed, and the entire carriage sank down. The vibration came from the soles of the feet, and the baton left by Feng Wu was shaken up, but Guan Jinyue easily dodged it by sidestepping.

Chen Guan had a general understanding of Guan Jinyue's strength, and then swung his hammer for the third time.

This strike was faster than the previous two; the hammer swept through the air, heading straight for Guan Jinyue's left shoulder.

Guan Jinyue finally moved, extending his right hand and pinching the hammer handle with two fingers.

The force from the coffin was transmitted to the hammer handle, but was steadily dissipated by those two fingers, like punching cotton, the force completely dissipated.

"Your power level is probably at the third tier; you are no match for me."

Guan Jinyue shook her head slightly. If she could, she wouldn't want to fight with Lezi Mo's people.

This will cause a lot of trouble later.

She still needed Le Zimo's help and couldn't afford to offend him. Moreover, Guan Jinyue knew that Baal must be spying on what was happening here.

If He suddenly intervenes.

It's probably going to be very difficult to resolve this situation.

After all, He only wanted to have fun and didn't care about her.
