The player is playing like a god, and has already advanced to Space Marine level at the start.

Lu Xiao returned from the island nation to his rented apartment in Giant City.

The room was small, poorly lit, and covered in mold in the corners. He stuffed a few changes of clothes into an old canvas bag, ignored the dilapidated furniture, and went straight to the landlord.

The landlord was a bald man in his fifties. He took the keys, opened the door, and glanced around the messy room.

"Deposit non-refundable." The landlord said coldly, putting the key in his pocket. Before Lu Xiao could speak, he went to tear off an old calendar from the wall.

Lu Xiao didn't bother to reply. He'd seen too many people haggling over a few hundred yuan; now he was rich. He picked up his bag, turned, and left.

Lu Xiaogang stopped in his tracks as soon as he stepped out of the building.

At the alley entrance, five young men with brightly colored hair were squatting there, carrying steel pipes and baseball bats. The leader, a burly man with a large gold chain around his neck, was sitting on an abandoned tire smoking.

He spat out the cigarette butt, stood up, and stubbed it out with his toe, then looked at Lu Xiao.

"Dude, you don't look like anyone here."

As the man spoke, he walked towards Lu Xiao. The thugs behind him immediately dispersed and surrounded Lu Xiao in a fan shape.

Lu Xiao raised her eyelids and looked at the man's face.

Square face, buzz cut, fierce eyes.

Liu Chuang.

The future God of War of the Norse Star, Great Wall One. But right now, he's just a thug collecting protection money.

Lu Xiao looked at him.

"What's up?"

Lu Xiao switched the canvas bag to her left hand, letting her right hand hang down naturally.

Liu Chuang chuckled, revealing a set of yellow teeth: "This area is under my protection, Liu Chuang's protection. Looking at that big bag, are you moving? Have you paid the moving fees yet?"

He reached out, his fingers almost poking Lu Xiao's nose.

"Not much, just two or three thousand, treat the brothers to a drink, and you'll be able to get by."

A blond thug next to him waved a steel pipe in his hand and yelled, "Brother Chuang is talking to you, are you deaf?"

Lu Xiao ignored the blond-haired man and fixed his gaze on Liu Chuang.

"Liu Chuang".

Lu Xiaoping uttered two words calmly.

Liu Chuang paused, then frowned: "You recognize me?"

"I'll give you a chance." Lu Xiao took a step forward, bringing the two to within half a meter. "Get lost."

Liu Chuang's face twitched. He had been around this place for so many years, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

"You're asking for it."

Liu Chuang cursed angrily and swung his fist at Lu Xiao's temple.

That punch was incredibly powerful; an ordinary person would suffer a concussion if they were hit by it.

Lu Xiao did not dodge.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, moving so fast that they left a blur, and before Liu Chuang's fist could fall, he firmly enveloped it.

Snapped.

A muffled thud.

Liu Chuang felt his fist hit a steel plate, his knuckles throbbing with pain. His expression changed, and he tried to pull his hand back, but found that the other person's hand was as firm as an iron clamp.

"you"

Liu Chuang just opened his mouth.

Lu Xiao suddenly flipped his wrist and bent it downwards.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking echoed through the alley.

"what!"

Liu Chuang screamed in agony, his knees buckling as he collapsed to his knees. His right wrist was bent at an unnatural angle, the bone piercing his skin, and blood gushing out.

The surrounding thugs were dumbfounded.

"Damn it! Kill him!"

The blond-haired guy was the first to react, roaring as he charged forward with a steel pipe.

Lu Xiao released Liu Chuang, dodged the steel pipe, and kicked the blond-haired man in the stomach.

boom!

Yellow Hair flew backward like a broken sandbag, crashed into the wall and slid down, clutching his stomach and dry heaving.

The remaining four thugs, their eyes bloodshot, brandished their weapons and swarmed forward.

Lu Xiao stood still, raised his hand, grabbed a baseball bat, and snatched it away with force. The thug's hand was split open and covered in blood.

Lu Xiao swung the stick back and slapped him across the face.

Snapped!

Several bloody teeth flew out.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiao delivered a whip kick to the thigh of another thug.

Click.

With his thigh bone broken, the man collapsed to the ground, clutching his leg and howling in pain.

In less than ten seconds, all five thugs were lying on the ground, some with broken arms and legs, screaming in agony.

Only Liu Chuang remained kneeling on the spot, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his face pale, and he trembling with pain.

Lu Xiao threw away the blood-stained baseball bat and walked up to him.

Liu Chuang gritted his teeth, raised his head, and stared intently at Lu Xiao: "You...who exactly are you?"

"Who I am is unimportant." Lu Xiao looked down at him, her eyes icy. "What matters is that your genes are being wasted on you."

He raised his foot and stepped on Liu Chuang's right knee.

"Learn from this in the future."

"No...no..." Liu Chuang's eyes were filled with fear.

Lu Xiao suddenly exerted force with his feet.

Click!

Liu Chuang's kneecap was crushed.

"Ughhhh!"

Liu Chuang screamed in agony, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from the pain.

Lu Xiao withdrew his foot, didn't even look at the person on the ground, picked up his canvas bag, stepped over Liu Chuang's body, and walked out of the alley.

……

Sales office of Longwan Villa District, Juxia City.

This is one of the most luxurious places in the city, with crystal chandeliers and marble floors.

Lu Xiao pushed open the door and walked in. He was wearing cheap clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan, his trousers were still covered in dust, and he was carrying an old canvas bag.

The security guard at the door glanced at him with disdain in his eyes.

Several saleswomen were chatting together. When they saw Lu Xiao, they only glanced at her and no one went up to her.

Lu Xiao ignored him and walked straight to the model, pointing to the best detached villa in the center.

"Will you sell this set?" Lu Xiao asked the group of salespeople.

A young salesperson hesitated for a moment before walking over: "Sir, this is our VIP unit."

She smiled politely, but her eyes held no warmth.

"This villa covers an area of ​​2,000 square meters and comes with a private swimming pool and underground garage. The total price is 58 million." She emphasized the "58 million".

Lu Xiao nodded: "Swipe the card."

He took a bank card out of his pocket and handed it over.

The salesperson was stunned: "Sir, we don't accept installment payments here. The down payment is at least..."

"Full payment." Lu Xiao interrupted her, shoving the card into her hand. "The PIN is six eights. Let's complete the formalities now; I'm checking in tonight."

The saleswoman held the card, her hand trembling slightly. Looking at Lu Xiao's calm face, she realized he wasn't joking.

"Please...please wait a moment." She turned and ran quickly toward the finance office.

Two minutes later, the sales manager led her out at a brisk pace, holding a POS machine and a contract, his face beaming with smiles.

"Sir! Hello! I'm the manager here!" The manager bowed and took Lu Xiao's ID card. "I'll process your application immediately! Please come to the VIP room for tea!"

Lu Xiao waved his hand: "Let's do it here."

drop.

The POS machine dispensed a purchase order for 58 million; the transaction was successful.

The entire sales office fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look. The salesperson who had previously ignored Lu Xiao looked grim, filled with extreme regret.

Lu Xiao signed her name and took the key and access card.

"I don't want to be disturbed." He picked up his canvas bag.

"Understood! Absolutely understood!" The manager nodded and bowed, seeing Lu Xiao all the way to the door.

……

South China Sea Fleet, the aircraft carrier Giant Hero.

The atmosphere in the command center was heavy. Dukao sat in the main seat, clutching a report in his hand.

The large screen showed an X-ray of Liu Chuang's knee, revealing that the bone was completely shattered.

"Is this Liu Chuang's current situation?" Dukao looked at the red-haired woman next to him.

Du Qiangwei, dressed in a black leather jacket, nodded and said, "A comminuted fracture of the right knee and a broken right wrist. The doctor said that if an ordinary person had this kind of injury, they would spend the rest of their life in a wheelchair."

She walked to the screen and pointed to the fracture: "Liu Chuang has the genes of the God of War of the Norse Star in his body. Although he hasn't awakened them yet, his bone hardness is already more than three times that of an ordinary person. To be able to break his bones like this with his bare hands, the force he unleashed must be at least in the tons."

Dukao narrowed his eyes: "Have you found out who did it?"

"Found it." Rose pulled up a photo.

The photo was taken from surveillance footage; the image is blurry, showing Lu Xiao's profile as she walks out of the alley carrying a bag.

"Lu Xiao, male, 24 years old. His file shows he's an ordinary migrant worker, orphaned, who came to Juxia City two years ago." Rose read the information aloud. "However, just this morning, a huge sum of 50 million suddenly appeared in his bank account. Subsequently, he bought the most expensive villa in the Longwan Villa District in full."

"Fifty million?" Dukao tapped his fingers on the table. "Where did the money come from?"

"We can't find it." Rose shook her head. "The transfer path is encrypted multiple times. Aunt Lianfeng is trying to crack it, but the firewall they set up is very high-level, and it will be difficult to break through in a short time."

Dukao stood up and walked to the window.

"First it was that blue giant in Tokyo, and now it's this Lu Xiao." He turned around, his expression serious. "Although Liu Chuang is a thug, he's also a key target we're monitoring. To beat him up like this, Lu Xiao is definitely no ordinary person."

"Should I make contact?" Rose asked.

"No." Dukao waved his hand. "Liu Chuang being beaten shows that Lu Xiao has extremely strong violent tendencies and is very ruthless. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

He paused for a moment: "Have A-Jie go with you. Bring the dark alloy armor, just in case."

"Yes."

"Wait," Dukao called after her. "Don't resort to violence. If he's from Earth, then he's one of our own. Earth is facing an unprecedented threat, and we need every living being."

"Understood." Rose pushed open the door and went out.

Dukao sat down again, his eyes fixed on Lu Xiao's photo on the screen.

Even through the blurry surveillance footage, Dukao could feel the coldness in those eyes.

That was definitely not the look an ordinary migrant worker should have.

That's the look in someone who's been on the battlefield, someone who's crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

That's obviously obvious; all five divisions of the island nation were wiped out.
