At one o'clock in the morning, the streetlights in the Garden Community cast long shadows of Zhao Ziqi, Lü Mingming, and Zhang Ming.

Previously, Lu Mingming and Zhang Ming had been waiting for the results of Zhao Ziqi's trial and hadn't eaten, so they were starving.

Listening to Lü Mingming constantly talking about "hot pot lamb" and "brisket fat," Zhao Ziqi suddenly realized he was also very hungry.

I don't have much rice left, and I'm about to have to cut back on my spending. But Lu Mingming is treating me to Haidilao, so I have to have a big meal to satisfy my cravings!

As for facing Gan Yu's attack on April 21st, which is today, Zhao Ziqi is not panicked.

With Lü Mingming and Zhang Ming traveling with me, this is the safest time for me. If the other party had any sense, they wouldn't attack me at this moment.

The corner under the streetlights in the residential area.

Two people, one tall and one short, appeared and blocked the way for Zhao Ziqi and his two companions.

The tall man was over two meters tall, with a robust and muscular build. He wore a headscarf and wielded a long alloy staff; he was practically a muscle-bound superhero! The kind of man that even dogs would avoid on the street.

The lower-ranking man appeared to be a young man, with red lips, white teeth, and fair skin, but his dark red eyes exuded a faint bloody smell, giving people a sense of inexplicable horror and fear.

He picked up his finger, licked it lightly, and then stared at Zhao Ziqi and the other two with indifferent eyes before speaking.

"We've come to retrieve some things from Zhao Ziqi. You two either leave, or... die." The Little Demon Lord's voice was deep and thick, as if his throat was smeared with blood.

The Stick King raised his chin and slammed the alloy staff heavily onto the ground. Ice crystals exploded from the staff, sending ice shards flying and freezing the ground into a patch of ice crystals.

The threat was implied without being explicitly stated.

Zhao Ziqi sized up the two people in front of him, not worried at all that Lü Mingming and Zhang Ming would leave. He believed that Lü Mingming was a righteous man and his good brother, and he would not leave.

Zhang Ming hadn't known him for long, but seeing that he was willing to offer a rare item to help him with his trials, he seemed like a trustworthy person.

Looking at the two people in front of him, were they Gan Yu's companions or subordinates?

At this moment, Lü Mingming put one hand into her pocket and stepped forward.

He gave a disdainful laugh and said, "How ridiculous! You dare threaten investigators from the Jade Capital Department? Do you think you're living too comfortably?"

The Jade Capital Department is the official supernatural organization of the Great Xia Kingdom, similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the supernatural world. It searches, hunts down, and quells chaos, and even evil supernatural beings dare not provoke it.

"What are the Jade Capital Division compared to my Gate of Evolution!" The Stick King grabbed the alloy staff with his broad, thick hand, grinned, revealing his teeth, and stomped on the floor tiles until they shattered. He then smashed the staff at Lü Mingming.

The Gate of Evolution is an organization of evil superhumans, holding a position equivalent to the Jade Capital Division among them, and is extremely dangerous.

With his arms outstretched like a gibbon, Lü Mingming leaped into the air, and intricate mechanisms appeared on his feet, elbows, and other parts of his body, propelling him to levitate and accelerate.

An exceptional professional scholar, skilled in crafting machinery and proficient in offensive weapons.

Among the known superhumans, Lü Mingming is the first superhuman to change his profession to scholar, and he possesses considerable combat strength.

"Hahaha—!" Upon seeing this, the Little Demon Lord suddenly burst into loud laughter, his eyes turning crimson, and his body split into blood-red bats that pounced on Zhang Ming and Zhao Ziqi.

Zhao Ziqi stroked the ring on his middle finger with his right hand, and a glint of moonlight flashed, revealing the Silver Moon Sword. He held it in his hand; the sword's blade resembled a crescent moon, was 1.2 meters long, and its edge gleamed with a cold moonlight.

He gripped the Silver Moon Sword, maintaining alertness and a defensive stance using the Imperial Guard Swordsmanship.

Lu Mingming and Zhang Ming caught sight of the Silver Moon Sword, and both showed expressions of surprise. It was actually... a legendary quality weapon!

There are four tiers of quality for extraordinary weapons: Extraordinary, Legendary, Epic, and Mythical! Mythical weapons basically do not exist in the human world, and ordinary people cannot see them.

For ordinary extraordinary individuals to obtain a weapon of extraordinary quality is already extremely lucky, but to get a legendary quality weapon right after successfully changing jobs is just enviable!

Dozens of blood-red bats spotted the Silver Moon Sword and screamed excitedly; they had their eyes on this weapon!

"Hand over your weapons, and you'll die a quick death!" the bat shrieked, its sound waves echoing.

Zhao Ziqi pursed his lips and took out the Silver Moon Sword, preparing for the yet-to-appear Gan Yu!

This bat spirit, a nobody who isn't even marked in the character list or exploration map, does he think I'm on guard against him?

Dozens of blood-red bats streaked across the sky, swarming towards Zhao Ziqi. Zhang Ming, standing nearby, frowned and cursed, "Trash blood demon, die!"

Of all the evil and extraordinary professions, Zhang Ming despises Blood Demons the most and will kill them if he encounters one!

Zhang Ming raised his right hand and struck out with a palm strike out of thin air. In an instant, a palm print of lightning, ten feet high, flew out, and the thunderous sound echoed like a long, resonant bell.

Wherever the lightning passed, dozens of blood-red bats exploded into a bloody mist. The last one desperately flapped its wings to escape, its eyes filled with fear, but it was still swallowed up by the flying palm print and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.

"Holy crap!" Upon seeing this, the Stick King was so frightened that his anus tightened and he turned to run away.

Lu Mingming chased after him, shouting, "Stop!"

"Wait, watch out for an ambush!" Zhao Ziqi shouted hurriedly, as Gan Yu had not yet appeared.

at the same time.

A kilometer away, on the top of a building.

The demoness looked through the telescope and exclaimed in surprise, "The Little Demon Lord is dead!" When she turned to look at Gan Yu, she saw a stunning scene.

At this moment, in the city under the lonely moon in the dead of night, Gan Yu stood on the edge of the top of a high-rise building. Her 174cm tall figure was graceful. She gazed into the distance, letting the wind tousle her long hair. She raised her smooth arm and flicked a gold coin with her fingertips, sending it flying into the distance.

With a deafening roar, the gold coin tore through the sky, and the demonic eye it bore came to life, transforming into a gluttonous maw that lunged at Zhao Ziqi and the other two!

In a space where the moonlight disappeared, the streetlights went out, and darkness enveloped everything, Zhao Ziqi's heart suddenly raced as he sensed impending danger.

Lu Mingming screamed, "Damn! It's a Quasi-Saint! We're doomed!"

"Haha, die!" The Stick King laughed loudly. With Lord Gan Yu taking action, these people were doomed.

The demonic eye transformed into the gaping maw of a gluttonous beast, its sharp, massive teeth gleaming with an eerie light as they fell.

Zhang Ming's eyes sharpened. He pulled out the tattered scroll hanging from his waist, bit his finger to draw blood, and shouted, "Four Sacred Summoning Techniques—Mysterious Tortoise!"

A shield of light, resembling a tortoise shell, rose up and supported the three people above their heads. With a tremor, the gluttonous maw formed from the demonic eye collapsed.

Within the tortoise-shell light shield, Zhao Ziqi revealed a look of joy. Just as he had guessed! With Zhang Ming by his side, he was in his safest state.

I'm pretty sure I'll get through this ordeal on April 21st.

Four thick legs extended from the Xuan Turtle Light Shield and stomped simultaneously, unleashing a continuous shockwave that crashed into the Staff King. His eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, holding the alloy staff in front of him. However, he could only watch helplessly as the alloy staff twisted and turned. Then... the shockwave grew stronger, and in an instant, his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which then dissipated into a wisp of green smoke within the shockwave.

Only two twisted alloy plates remained, lying quietly on the ground, emitting smoky smoke.

far away.

Gan Yu, the enchantress, took in this scene.

"Boss, what's next?" the enchantress asked, bowing as she placed her hands in front of her.

"Back to the company."

Gan Yu spoke coldly, and before leaving, she gave Zhang Ming and Zhao Ziqi a deep look.

The perspective shifts back to Zhao Ziqi.

This conflict came quickly and went quickly.

Zhang Ming put his hands in his pockets and said, "The enemy has left."

"Phew, as expected of Brother Zhang! That last blow was deadly!" Lü Mingming said, grinning. "When your novel hits the charts in early May, we absolutely have to give it our full support!"

Zhang Ming, holding the damaged scroll, slowly fastened it back to his waist, rolling his eyes: "You've already taken three days off, where do you get the nerve to try and climb the rankings?"

"Doesn't this make you look more capable, Brother Zhang?"

"Haha! You're right, let's go eat hot pot first, I'm starving."

While the two were chatting, Zhao Ziqi's gaze fell on two twisted alloy plates.

Wasn't I worried about not having enough money to buy materials to forge a magic gun? This thing is strong enough to forge a magic gun!

It's just that it's badly damaged and will take some effort to repair.

After asking Lü Mingming and Zhang Ming, and receiving no response, Zhao Ziqi directly put it into his storage space! He could barely suppress the urge to smile.

We've averted a crisis, and my friend even sent us alloy materials—thank you so much!

"Come on, we're here, get in the car!"

"They're here."

As Zhao Ziqi spoke, he thought to himself, "Check the NPC panel."

I wonder... if my fate has changed!
