The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The woman was quite frank, taking out the artifact she had prepared as payment and letting Blood Brother check the information.

Dragon Ring.

This is a ring category within the artifacts.

It can only drop from dragon-type field bosses and world bosses.

Most artifacts have crafting blueprints and can be forged using high-level blacksmiths and various rare materials.

The Dragon Ring is the only one that cannot be forged; it can only be obtained as a drop.

As an accessory, rings don't primarily increase stats on the character panel—however, the stat increases from a dragon ring are tied to its level, ensuring its scalability and allowing it to be worn indefinitely.

Upon seeing the five effects of the "Dragon Ring - Return of Light," Song Gua was deeply moved.

His original profession, Bond Master, is one that requires buffs to unleash explosive damage.

Attack speed and attack power are more beneficial to Bonded Beings than to other classes.

With this ring, even the cooldown time of Unity Power will be reduced, and after using Unity Power, there is a 20% chance to immediately end the cooldown!

And that dragon shield, it's a life-saving skill!

So delicious!

After synchronizing with Blood Brother's memories, the clones all expressed their opinions.

"This artifact is so effective; it would be enough to make the richest people in every city fight tooth and nail to put it at an auction. Is she really willing to give it to us as payment?"

"Blood Brother, make your move! Snatch it!"

"It has to be you again, you really don't treat Brother Xuezi like an outsider."

"What if she backs out and refuses to give it to me after it's done?"

"I always felt this was like a radish in front of a donkey—just to whet our appetite."

Blood Brother told the woman about the clones' concerns.

The woman smiled and put the dragon ring away.

"Cooperate with me and you'll have a chance to get it; don't cooperate with me and you won't have even the slightest chance. The choice is yours."

Blood Brother pretended to cover his ears, as if he were using a communicator.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

The Song divination tool at home immediately responded.

"Dry!"

What's there to hesitate about?

Anyway, for the next few days, I'll have my clones go out and grind monsters and dungeons to level up to level 15.

When they get tired of their experience and have nothing to do, they might as well find something to do.

Neither of them are legitimate organizations; one is wanted in Yunshan City, and the other is wanted worldwide.

trust?

There's no such thing as trust.

We'll see how things go when the time comes.

"Okay, we agree to cooperate with you!"

The woman smiled with satisfaction.

"Now, let's discuss some details of the cooperation. The first step is that we need someone to infiltrate the mental hospital. Do you have a way to do that...?"

Under the cover of night, the first collaboration between the Blue Star Avengers and the Cloud Mountain Bandits began.

……

The next day.

night.

The nightlife in Yunshan City is just beginning.

On the brightly lit streets, handsome men and beautiful women, tipsy and intoxicated, strolled together.

"Team leader, the target has just arrived at the intersection of Baisheng Road and Lingquan Road, and he is all alone."

Xiaoling, one of Wang Miao's team members, was dressed casually, carrying several handbags, pretending to be shopping outside, but actually following Song Gua.

Wang Miao's voice came through the headset.

"I'll stay in the shadows, keeping my distance. You continue to follow me."

"Yes."

Song Gua stood with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and carefree.

After strolling through several streets, he suddenly quickened his pace, darted into a dark alley without streetlights.

"The target has taken action!"

"Stay close to him!"

Xiaoling threw all her burdens into the roadside trash can, activated her skill, and chased after the pursuer relentlessly.

Song Gua wandered around in the complex alleyways and side streets of the area, causing Xiao Ling to lose track of him for a time.

But Xiaoling's profession is a tracking hunter, and she has a skill called "Hound Scent," which allows her to summon a hunting dog to track the scent of enemies.

Therefore, it has always been able to catch up with the Song hexagram.

"He's too cunning. He's trying to use the terrain to get rid of me. He must have scouted this place beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't be so familiar with it."

"Just stay close, I can tell your location from the positioning system."

"He's not leaving."

"Don't give yourself away. We've probably reached the rendezvous point. Turn on the body camera and preserve the evidence."

"yes!"

Song Gua stood at the crossroads of two alleys, surrounded by complete darkness.

He leaned against the wall, looking down at his phone, seemingly bored.

A short while later, four people suddenly emerged from the two alleys.

They wore Taoist robes of various colors and hoods with mahjong tile patterns on their heads.

Bandits!

Xiaoling was very excited, with an expression that said, "I've finally caught you red-handed."

"Team leader! They've appeared! Bandits! This Song divination was indeed connected to bandits!"

On the other end of the communicator, Wang Miao sounded somewhat disappointed.

"He still won't listen to reason... Don't make a move yet, wait for me to get there."

far away.

Wang Miao no longer concealed his whereabouts.

With a wave of his hand, an ice bridge stretched out into the sky, spanning the towering skyscrapers. He glided across it, moving closer to the location of the Song Gua.

"What are you doing...?"

Xiaoling, hiding at the entrance of another alley, couldn't hear what Song Gua and the bandits were saying.

Moreover, Song Gua had his back to her, so she couldn't see what he was doing.

Just as Xiaoling was trying to get closer, Wang Miao arrived.

"A hundred-foot-long ice wall!"

Wang Miao shouted, and ice walls blocked off all the alleys.

Song Gua and the bandit he was meeting were like being trapped in an ice box.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Song Gua looked bewildered.

Wang Miao stood on the ice wall, arms crossed over her chest.

"Song Gua! I now suspect you have connections to a wanted drug trafficker. You're now officially a suspect. Come with me!"

Wang Miao took out the Abyss Rock handcuffs from his backpack.

Song Gua looked aggrieved.

"Team Leader Wang, I'm not a bandit, I just came here..."

"Stop making excuses! Even if you're not a bandit, you're still connected to them! Besides, you're level 15, similar to the bandits' level. I suspect you're one of them! Don't try to escape..."

Before Wang Miao could finish speaking, a bright light shone on his right cheek.

"Snap!"

Wang Miao was furious.

"What is that?!"

I turned my head and looked.

He saw a female reporter wearing a denim jacket and holding a microphone. Next to her was a large camera and a lighting technician adjusting the exposure.

"reporter?"

The female reporter immediately got to work.

"Team Leader Wang Miao, what brings you here?"

Wang Miao was dumbfounded.

Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?
