One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Su Mu caught the tigerfish knife that floated towards him, and a panel immediately appeared in front of him—

[Tigerfish knife]

[Effect: When attacking, there is a 50% chance to deal 400% damage to a single enemy. This effect can only be triggered once every 11 seconds!]

[Introduction: My sword flashes like lightning, slicing through any offal!]

Looking at the panel in front of him, Su Mu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

My sword light is so dazzling, I can slice through any beef offal!

However, to be fair, this tigerfish-eating knife is quite effective.

If given to skilled swordsmen or knife users, it can essentially double their combat power instantly.

Since I don't need it anyway, I might as well give it to Master Fu Rong.

Anyway, she's a master of swords and a chef, so it's a perfect match.

As for whether or not to continue drawing weapons, Su Mu assessed his physical condition and decided against it.

He had only used up a drop of his essence blood, yet he had the illusion that he had stayed up all night without drinking a drop of alcohol.

I just felt a bit listless.

Judging from the fact that I got a three-star weapon on my first try, it's highly likely that this gacha system is the same one used in Genshin Impact.

Given my inherently unlucky nature, I'd better not become a gambler.

Thinking of this, Su Mu raised his hand and poured wind elements into the High Heaven Furnace, creating a cyan scabbard, and put away the Tiger-Eating Fish Knife.

Then, he strolled leisurely towards his little house.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Fu Rong was being interrogated by Liu Wu Kui.

"Sister Rong, hurry up and confess! Are you having another love-struck episode?"

"No, no, I just helped the village chief entertain the distinguished guest and then had breakfast with him..."

"Still saying you don't?"

Liu Wu Kui climbed over the stove, ran to Fu Rong's side, looked up from below and scrutinized her closely, a mocking smile on his face.

"Sister Rong, look at you! You've been busy ever since you got back to the kitchen, and you keep stopping to blush and giggle while you're working."

"Even a pig could tell you've got your eye on someone else!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Rong cupped her face in her hands and muttered, "I wasn't grinning like an idiot... Am I really that silly?"

"Yeah, it's really silly!" Liu Wu Kui nodded vigorously.

"Sister Rong, wake up! Don't give up so easily!"

"Whether this person is a distinguished guest of the village chief or not, if he can make you lose your mind after just one meeting, his skill level must be extremely high. You can't possibly outmaneuver him; you'll just become his toy!"

"Look at Brother Zihuan, everyone in the village can see that he likes you, but this blockhead just won't confess."

"That kind of blockhead is the real honest person!"

Fu Rong shook her head and said, "If he really confesses to me, I'll have even more headaches."

"Zihuan is indeed an honest man, but..."

"Whether it's looks, temperament, or how comfortable it is to interact with... the Shetland Sheepdog wins hands down in every aspect, hehe~"

Looking at Fu Rong, whose head was covered in pink bubbles, Liu Wu Kui slapped his forehead.

"It's over, completely hopeless..."

……

At this moment, Su Mu had already returned to his hut.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Zhang Chulan sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in front of his small house, as if he was waiting for them.

Using his wind domain perception, he found that everyone else was gone, leaving him all alone.

Su Mu stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Zhang, what are you doing meditating at my door?"

"Brother Su, you're back?" Zhang Chulan opened his eyes and stood up. "I have something I want to ask you."

"Hey? When did you get a knife?"

"Oh, never mind the knife, let's go inside."

The two went inside.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Chulan closed all the doors and windows, then knelt down with a thud and began to wail at Su Mu—

"Brother Su—Brother Su!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Su Mu rubbed his forehead and raised his hand to signal a halt.

"No offense, Zhang Chulan, but what's with all this wailing and crying?"

"Why are you crying like I'm already dead?"

"I'm not crying for you, Brother Su, I'm crying for myself and Sister Bao."

Zhang Chulan wiped away his tears and said pitifully, "Brother Su, you don't know, if we don't complete this mission, all of us temporary workers will be taken over by the company headquarters."

"Then, Baojie's secret will be exposed, and I, Baojie, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother will all be finished!"

"Then you'll be fine once you've completed the task, won't you?"

"But I've thought about this task carefully, and it's really not easy to complete!"

"Look, our mission, besides capturing Chen Duo, is also to destroy Biyou Village."

"But how do we destroy it? To what extent? Do we kill everyone in the village, or just the ringleaders?"

"That's it?" Su Mu raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know to ask your superiors?"

"That's only one aspect."

Zhang Chulan scratched his head.

"There is another issue. Judging from yesterday's situation, Ma Xianhong's Divine Hundred Refinements can mass-produce magical artifacts."

"There are so many people in this village, and each of them has two or three magical artifacts. Although individually they are no match for us temporary workers, they are not a match for us."

"But if they all swarm us, they could drown us with just a spit from each of them!"

"Moreover, based on the information Erzhuang has gathered so far, there are fourteen people with superior root talents in Biyou Village, whose strength is clearly far beyond that of ordinary people."

"And then there's Ma Xianhong, the owner of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, whose strength is also unfathomable..."

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he suddenly grabbed Su Mu's right leg.

"Brother Su! If you don't help us with this mission, we're really doomed!"

"No, wait a minute?"

Su Mu used his Wind Transformation Technique to shake off Zhang Chulan and asked疑惑地问道, "You just said how many people with superior innate talent were in Biyou Village?"

Fourteen.

"Fourteen?" Su Mu frowned. "Which fourteen?"

"Zhao Guizhen, Liu Wukui, Zhang Kun, Haricha Gai..."

Zhang Chulan took out his phone and began to read out names one by one.

After listening to everything, Su Mu's lips twitched slightly.

I was wondering where these fourteen superior talents came from...

It's true what they say, life is full of unexpected encounters!

Among these fourteen individuals with superior potential, there are two more than before: Zhuge Qing and A Biao!

That's right, it's Abiao, the ultimate infatuated lover who had a brief encounter with Su Mu in Dongxiangzhuang!

A Biao, whose full name is Hu Debiao, was originally a disciple of Dongxiangzhuang.

Later, for unknown reasons, he was expelled from the sect by Hu Lin. While wandering the world alone, he met Ma Xianhong and then joined the new Jie Sect and Biyou Village.

Known methods: Dongxiangzhuang related martial arts techniques.

Looking at the information on his phone, Su Mu felt a pang of sadness at the unpredictability of fate.

In the original work, there is no Hu Debiao in Biyou Village, or even in the entire work.

Hu Debiao was expelled from Dongxiang Village because he went there on a whim, which led to Xia He pretending to be the village head's wife to offer a toast.

Because Hu Debiao was expelled from Dongxiang Village, Hu Jie killed Hu Lin, causing Dongxiang Village to disband. This did not affect Hu Debiao, and he was even allowed to join Biyou Village and become a senior member.

"Brother Su, do you know this person?"

"We're acquaintances, you could say."

Su Mu smiled slightly, got up and went out.

"Brother Su, where are you going?" Zhang Chulan asked.

"Didn't you ask me for help?"

"I'll go and help you win over Shanggenqi right now."
