Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Ten minutes later.

Inside Command Vehicle No. 2.

Genuine leather sofa, constant temperature air conditioning, and even a faint jasmine fragrance.

This is simply heaven.

Liu Bazi slumped on the sofa, holding a can of chilled beer with water droplets clinging to it, looking a little dizzy.

He looked around.

Those guys who should have been eating sand in the convertible were now looking like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden.

Touching here, tapping there.

However, this ultimate luxury did not dispel the gloom in their hearts.

After all, everyone knows that this trip to Yuncheng is to pay with their lives.

Chen Fenggou took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, thought about lighting it, but then looked at the spotless carriage and hesitated.

Liu the Scarface chuckled and pulled out an identical packet from behind.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled wryly.

"Thunder Cloud Tobacco, Old Chen, you usually wouldn't even smoke a single cigarette, but you bought a whole pack today? Are you trying to ruin your life?"

"What kind of life is this?" Chen Fenggou scoffed, a hint of madness in his eyes.

"It's uncertain whether we'll even be left with a complete corpse this time. Who will we give the money to? Old Wang next door?"

"Too."

Liu Bazi pulled out a gleaming machete from behind him, with a faint glint of light flashing across its blade.

"Holy crap? Alchemy equipment?!" Chen Fenggou's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"You can afford this thing?"

"Hehe, I bought it by selling everything I owned." Liu the Scarface stroked the blade affectionately.

"I was thinking, since I'm going to die anyway, I should at least experience what it's like to be a whale (someone who spends a lot of money) slaying monsters, right?"

"It was worth it!"

"Smack."

The lighter flame flickered.

The rich aroma of tobacco instantly filled the air.

"call......"

Liu Bazi exhaled a smoke ring, gazing dazedly out the window.

Outside the window, Zhao Kui's unlucky men were cursing and swearing as they climbed onto the rusty open-top trucks, their mouths full of yellow sand.

"Cool!"

Liu Bazi took a deep gulp of beer, his eyes gradually turning fierce.

"Since Brother Lin is giving me so much face, even if I die, I'll take a knife for him first before I die!"

......

As the heavy armored vehicle door closed, the world was brutally cut in two.

One second you were eating dirt amidst the swirling yellow sand and the smell of cheap diesel.

The next second, they were transported to the city's most exclusive private club.

The deafening roar of engines outside instantly faded away, replaced by soothing cello music.

It's so elegant that you just want to close your eyes and take a nap.

The air is so clean that even bacteria are probably wiped out by the purification system, let alone dust.

The warm air blowing from the constant temperature air vent carries a faint scent of pine.

Lin Bai stepped onto the soft, handmade wool carpet, and the feeling of walking on clouds made him subconsciously raise an eyebrow.

This damned power of money, it's so tempting!

"Sit wherever you like, make yourself at home."

Ji Yun got up and walked to the wine cabinet, skillfully using an ice pick to chisel off a piece of old ice.

"What would you like to drink? This car may not be as good as the wine cellar at home, but it has some unique items that you can't find in the city."

Ji Yun's voice was gentle and warm, like jade.

There was no sense of condescending charity; instead, it felt like hosting an old friend you'd known for many years.

"Water is fine, with ice."

Lin Bai sank into the leather sofa and let out a comfortable sigh.

Through the one-way bulletproof glass, the wasteland scenery outside the window rushed past.

Those unfortunate souls sitting in the open-top trucks, wrapped in tattered rags, huddled together in the cold wind and dust, looked like a herd of exiled livestock.

Just a thin layer of glass separates two classes.

Ji Yun handed over a glass of soda water with iced lemon slices, and casually cut a cigar from the cigar box and handed it to Lin Bai.

"The inner city's number one special supply, want to try it? I've heard it has a certain stimulating effect on the spirituality of you extraordinary beings."

Lin Bai took the exquisitely crafted cigar and sniffed it.

"Young Master Ji, to be honest..."

Lin Bai toyed with the cigar in his hand, looking at Ji Yun with a half-smile:

"Judging by the way you're acting, people who know you're going to Yuncheng to risk your lives would think you're going on a picnic."

"Quality of life and adventure are not mutually exclusive, are they?"

Ji Yun poured himself a glass of wine and sat down opposite Lin Bai.

"Moreover, precisely because we're going to that kind of awful place, we should make the most of our time and enjoy it, since every second could be our last."

Ji Yun took a sip of wine, and his gaze behind his glasses became somewhat profound.

"Brother Lin, I actually have a question."

Lin Bai picked up the blowtorch on the table, lit a cigar, and exhaled a puff of bluish smoke: "You say it."

"I do not understand."

Ji Yun put down his wine glass, leaned forward slightly, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"I used a lot of connections to keep you in the city."

"For you, staying in Blackrock City, with your alchemy and my funds, both wealth and status are within easy reach."

"Even if you want to be part of the privileged class in the inner city, it's not difficult."

"You're a smart person, and smart people usually value their lives."

Ji Yun stared into Lin Bai's eyes: "Why do you have to go to Yun City? It's not a joke there, people really die there."

A brief silence fell over the carriage.

The only sound was the faint hissing of the burning cigar.

Lin Bai leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, somewhat unfocused.

If someone else asked him, he would probably just make up a lie to get by.

But Ji Yun is different.

This is the commander-in-chief of this instance, and also his friend.

If used properly, this kind of assistance can definitely save a lot of effort in Yuncheng.

Appropriate honesty helps maintain this positive "community of shared interests".

"Young Master Ji, as you know, I am a superhuman."

Lin Bai flicked off his cigarette ash, his tone calm.

Ji Yun was taken aback, then suddenly realized: "Is it for materials to upgrade your magic potion?"

Lin Bai nodded.

"Can't you buy it?"

Ji Yun frowned, her tone revealing a sense of confidence:

"The Sky Dome Merchant Guild's channels are all over Blackrock City, and even the surrounding cities. As long as you ask, even if it's ten times the price, I can get someone to help you find it."

"Unavailable."

Lin Bai sat up straight, and the lazy smile on his face faded a bit.

"Some things, money can't buy."

"If I could buy it, I wouldn't want to come out of this godforsaken place and eat sand."

"and......"

Lin Bai looked at Ji Yun and pointed to his own head.

"The path of the extraordinary is a precipice where you either advance or retreat."

"Behind me is an abyss. If I don't want to fall in and go crazy, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and climb up."

"I value my life very much, and it is precisely because I value my life that I have no choice but to fight desperately. If I don't fight, I'm just waiting to die."

Ji Yun fell silent.

Although he was not a superhuman, he was born into a wealthy family and had seen too many examples of people going out of control and mutating because of stagnation.

That kind of pollution and distortion from the depths of the soul cannot be washed away by money.

"I understand."

Ji Yun raised his wine glass and offered a toast to Lin Bai from afar.

"Then I wish us... a fruitful return."

"Thank you for your kind words."

Lin Bai smiled and raised his water glass to clink it against his, the crisp sound echoing in the carriage.
