Ark Chess Player.

The swindler feigned a cough, somewhat embarrassed, and weakly raised his hand.

"Please allow me to introduce you all. This is our intelligence team leader, Chaoshan." The conman, seeing Chaoshan's smile, felt a sense of foreboding and quickly tried to save face for his team leader. "She has all the information about Lungmen. Boss, the answers to your questions today were all carefully prepared by the team leader's personnel, based on reliable intelligence."

“…Thank you so much.” Lin Lu said sincerely.

"Hmph, no need, I wouldn't dare accept that."

The ethereal, fairy-like elegance of Chao Meiren vanished, replaced by a huffy expression as she crossed her arms over her unremarkable chest. Far from being off-putting, this added a touch of humanity to her, making Lin Lu find her rather endearing.

The textbook-perfect arrogance, due to its overly retro nature, is ironically what makes it so captivating.

In an instant, the two completely different personality shifts made the honest and simple-minded regicide feel strange.

Is this woman mentally ill...?

On the contrary, Lin Lu saw through some of the tricks of the trade.

What are the standards for intelligence agents?

The focus is on how to obtain more intelligence through illegal means, such as spying on the enemy's military, political, and economic information.

In the realm of strategic reconnaissance, Asayama, as the head of the intelligence team of the Army Without Borders, can effortlessly impersonate anyone. She can not only disguise herself as a refined and intellectual lady, but also as a soldier, nobleman, maid, doctor, lawyer, journalist, or even a man. She can master and perfectly mimic any of these diverse professions, even developing elaborate backstories for fictional characters to fully immerse herself in the role.

This caused her to lose herself at times, but there was always someone who would appear in time to call her back.

Unfortunately, that person now tells her that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor.

Chaoshan glanced at Lin Lu with a hint of resentment, then waved her hand helplessly, exuding elegance in every gesture.

"Come with me, I've prepared everything you wanted."

Chaoshan turned and left first, kicking up the flower petals on the ground in a petulant manner, clearly showing her unhappiness.

She was indeed unhappy. She knew Lin Lu had amnesia, but she didn't expect it to be so complete.

When the two first met, she was ordered by her employer to assassinate the rumored leader. She spent nearly a month setting up the assassination plot. After arranging everything, she did her best to obtain intelligence about the Borderless Army, including the leader's preference for voluptuous women.

For this, she didn't hesitate to sell her soul, picking up the sinful crystal cushion and reluctantly stuffing it against her chest. This false weight and fake shape made her feel waves of emptiness and confusion, a sense of decadence that it wouldn't matter if the world were destroyed the next day.

The banquet arrived as scheduled, and she swayed gracefully, captivating the entire audience with her unparalleled dance. Every movement, every detail, every posture, every glance directed her best self towards the Grand Chief. She displayed all her beauty, and as she fell into Lin Lu's arms, it was as if a lost phoenix had found its home.

As Chao Shan's hidden blade pressed against Lin Lu's heart, her waist was tightly embraced, and her weapon was disarmed on the spot. It turned out that her identity had already been discovered by the Grand Chief; her mission had failed, and she had lost everything. She couldn't return to her employer, because Lin Lu had beheaded him right before her eyes.

"A high-ranking official of Yan? That's it? That's it? Ha, killing an entire family and then keeping the enemy's child as a trained assassin, you Yan people really know how to play games. Four bloody incidents, four eras, three children, three clues, two major families, two factions, one time period, one mastermind. And this is enough to hold a government position in Yan? Great Yan is doomed!"

Lin Lu, with his black hair, crushed the head of the Yan Kingdom official he had just beheaded with one foot, and said to Chao Shan, who was still a young girl at the time, "From now on, you will follow me. You have no right to refuse. From now on, Borderless will be your home."

...And look at Lawyer Lin now?

Well, there's nothing wrong with white hair. In fact, it's a special attraction for Yan people. No Yan man can resist a beautiful white-haired girl.

He looked much thinner, but even the BOSS three years ago didn't have much meat on him. I don't know how he managed to make the incredibly burly, chubby-hoofed people in the base dizzy from all the slamming.

In short, the BOSS is good-looking no matter how you look at him.

The only thing that makes Chaoshan unhappy is... the BOSS is too much of a womanizer!

There's always a woman around the boss, and it's always a different one!

Sometimes she's a blonde, food-loving princess; sometimes she's a white-haired woman with twin braids who always speaks in a silly, goofy way.

Sometimes she is a woman with white hair, purple eyes, and an unusually large chest, wearing a naval hat and carrying a strangely shaped bow; the arrows she shoots transform into strange flying machines. Another time, she is a Liberian woman dressed in Eastern attire, possessing enormous wings and said to have golden feathers on her body.

Two other people left a deep impression on Chaoshan. One wore a black and yellow jacket, her long gray hair was tied back in a side ponytail, and there was a striking scar in her bright golden eyes. She was about the same size as Chaoshan and carried a gun that could be fired without using Originium Arts... The other was a scantily clad woman named Qin Kuang in a purple bodysuit. Why would she dare to walk around in clothes like that?! Couldn't she at least use a shield that looked like a dining table to cover herself up?! So what if she has big breasts?!

What Zhaoshan found most unbelievable was that she couldn't find any information about these people; they seemed to have appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as suddenly.

The only person who knew the truth was Bai Huang from the research and development team, but she refused to divulge the secret, leaving Chaoshan with no way to do anything.

But now... it's good that the BOSS is back. Even if he has many women around him, it's better than him never showing up again.

He comforted himself as he made his pilgrimage, and his steps gradually became lighter.

The underground city in the Chaolong Mountain area is much more luxurious than other areas. Outside the platform, there are ancient-style buildings everywhere, and even gardens have been built. The road is winding and twisting, and the scent of flowers, trees and shrubs masks the smell of the drainage system, making it impossible for the king-slayer to remember the terrain by smell.

The group followed Chaoshan away from the platform area and boarded the enormous water-powered cable car. The gentle sound of the flowing water created a tranquil, Zen-like atmosphere. This waterwheel design operates within the city's drainage system, reducing unnecessary resource waste and providing transportation services—truly a win-win situation.

As the waterwheel slowly rose, Misha instinctively grabbed Lin Lu and the King Killer; she wasn't very good at heights.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Lin Lu said gently, comforting Misha and telling her to look at the scenery openly.

The slowly turning waterwheel occasionally splashes fine droplets of water onto you, bringing a refreshing coolness. The steam rises like mist, shimmering with iridescent colors under the refracted light. Before you lies an unobstructed view of the underground city, its meticulously restored ancient architecture and lotus ponds creating a dreamlike scene.

Misha's hands gradually stopped trembling. She quietly looked down at the increasingly smaller Chaolongshan platform, a relieved smile slowly appearing on her lips. The Kingslayer held her other hand; the three of them were harmonious, completely oblivious to the feelings of the others present.

In a sense, this is a waterwheel version of a Ferris wheel, suitable for couples or families of three to enjoy.

"BOSS."

Chao Shan smiled at Lin Lü, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze, making one feel relaxed and happy.

Do you think I still have a chance?

Chapter 232 Chaolong Mountain

Chaolong Mountain.

This is the largest retail store in Longmen, mainly dealing in restaurants, but also in clothing, luxury goods, and other items.

In Lungmen, you might not know where the Lungmen Guard Bureau building is, but you can't be unaware of where the shops under the Chaolongshan brand are located.

To learn more about Chaolongshan, the most direct way is undoubtedly to visit the store and make a purchase; prices are clearly marked and charged according to your needs. If you don't have enough currency, don't worry, Chaolongshan doesn't just buy Lungmen dollars.

In Chaolong Mountain, food that suits one's taste is intelligence, a useful tool is intelligence, and a special skill is also intelligence.

Intelligence, valuable items, or things that cannot be openly displayed can be exchanged for corresponding points cards at Chaolongshan. Points earned on these cards can be used directly at any of Chaolongshan's affiliated shops, and some items can only be redeemed through points – this is Chaolongshan's marketing philosophy.

"To enable every citizen of Lungmen to enjoy an upper-class lifestyle."

This is the business model proposed by Chaoshan, the head of the Longmen Chaolongshan store. She never thought of exploiting the poor.

If you're going to make money, make money that makes you rich.

Those who don't have money can also exchange goods in another way.

You can accumulate points by checking in daily, and receive an extra reward for checking in for seven days. You can also earn points by reading the Chaolongshan Daily, sharing new Chaolongshan products, and by exchanging items or providing interesting anecdotes.

Furthermore, these points can be used to redeem food vouchers, discount coupons, and some other product vouchers, and can also be used to enter a lucky draw!

The highest prize in the lucky wheel is a luxurious candlelight dinner for two at the Grand Maison Longmen restaurant, which is worth the equivalent of one million Longmen Dollars. Even so, it is still highly sought after but unavailable.

Grand Maison Longmen can only accommodate a maximum of ten tables per day. Even powerful and influential people in Longmen need to make reservations in advance and queue up for a number.

Governor Wei Yanwu of Longmen also praised it highly, seemingly because his wife loved the food there and was willing to wait in line.

Grand Maison is open only at night; during the day, it is in preparation for opening and does not welcome guests.

Even Moher, a food critic from Victoria, once hoped to gain the opportunity to taste food before the restaurant opened as a three-star critic, claiming that his personal influence could help Grand Maison become a world-class restaurant.

Indeed, Moher possesses this ability. While not a household name in Terra's culinary world, he is certainly well-known. His articles appear almost monthly in top-selling food magazines, and he is renowned as "The Lonely Gourmet" for his professional commentary and expert knowledge.

Then Moher was shooed out of Grand Maison Lungmen with a smile by the head chef, who was almost left with a utterance of elegant Lungmenese.

Moher declared that they would regret it. He had been queuing for a whole month in a fit of rage and resentment, and arrived at the restaurant with a menacing air.

...He left Grand Maison Lungmen in tears. He lamented that he was no true gourmet, having spent ten years traveling in Terra, believing himself to have tasted the world's finest cuisine. He had sampled everything from royal dishes to humble street food, from luxury hotels to traditional tribal delicacies, each with its own unique flavor. But he had never tasted anything like this before, a cuisine that seemed to encapsulate thousands of years of culture, where every meal allowed him to experience the customs and traditions of an entire nation.

Putting aside his past arrogance, Moher faithfully recorded this culinary journey in an article, and the food magazine caused a sensation upon its release.

Moch's final assessment was: This is a long journey worth spending months meticulously planning, with unforgettable flavors. Perfect and unparalleled culinary artistry, offering exquisitely crafted dishes, a selection of fine wines, impeccable service, and an extremely elegant dining environment.

Many people came here because of its reputation, and some nobles even traveled from faraway countries to Longmen.

But as I said before, we can only accommodate a maximum of ten tables a day. If there are more people, just wait patiently. Our Longshan doesn't need your money.

Today, the Grand Maison welcomes its distinguished guests during the day, a rare occurrence.

If reporters were to spot them, they would surely be waiting at each of the hotel's entrances to see which royal family member had graced their presence. But they could never have imagined that the distinguished guests being entertained by the Grand Maison were... two individuals infected with Oripathy.

"The regicide, the sister who killed the king."

Misha sat trembling in the luxurious chair, her hands on her knees, her mind a jumble of thoughts. Even before, let alone now that she was infected with Oripathy, for a girl like her with no money in the bank, coming to such a high-end, luxurious place was practically a dream come true.

“Sister?” Misha asked the Kingslayer again.

The poor girl, suffering from PTSD, was dazed, muttering "abba aba" as she silently looked down at her plate.

She suddenly felt a pang of longing for the nutritional meals at Hibiscus, even the oddly shaped ones she ate in her Rhodes Island hospital room were far better than this elegant restaurant. The luxurious environment made her feel uneasy just sitting in the chair; it was as if something was crawling all over her, making her itchy.

The regicide suddenly looked up.

She understood. No wonder that woman had placed her and Misha here and left with Lin Lu.

Is this how rich people steal men?! It's outrageous! Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!

The Kingslayer was about to leave the restaurant in a huff. Anyway, she had eaten Misha's cooking when she was in the safe house, so she was not hungry and could speak with confidence!

"Hello, this is a chocolate tart for dessert. Please enjoy."

The tall, beautiful, and neatly dressed waiter politely placed the dessert plates in front of the Kingslayer and Misha.

The waiter's voice was gentle and not obsequious, giving a very friendly impression. Every gesture was refined, each movement fluid and graceful; even a slight step back to signal departure was elegant. If he were dressed in a suit, people would believe he was a nobleman. How could someone like that be just a waiter?!

"Thank you, thank you."

The regicide felt his arrogance diminish by half without him even realizing it, and obediently sat back down in his seat.

She looked at Misha directly opposite her and noticed that the girl was looking at her with worried eyes. She quickly put away her bitter feelings and put on a big sister demeanor.

"It's alright, eat up. The law will come back anyway," the Kingslayer said confidently.

So what if you are rich?

Is Lawyer Lin the kind of person who can't resist money?

Mr. Lin is tall and hard; Mr. Lin is like a pillar reaching the sky.

Lyudmila always believed in Lin Lu's character.

"Eat her, eat whatever you want! Eat her out of house and home, humph!"

The regicide plunges a fork into the chocolate tower with ferocious force, attempting to convey the majesty of the queen.

Just as the Kingslayer and Misha were enjoying high-society treatment at the Grand Maison Dragon Gate Hotel...

Headquarters office of Chaolongshan Shops.

Lin Lu was pushed onto the sofa by Chao Shan.

Chapter 233 Young lady, please have some self-respect

"Girl, please respect yourself."

"Girl, you can't do this, girl."

"Hey! Stop pretending to be asleep! Who rubs someone's chest while they're unconscious?!"

Lin Lu couldn't help but want to push Chao Shan away, but given their current position, it was really difficult for him to make a move... or rather, he was unable to make a move.

At this moment, Lin Lu's arm joints were tightly locked by Chao Shan, who was skilled in assassination, leaving him unable to exert any strength. He could barely move his hands. However, he felt that if he went along with the other party's wishes and groped her extensively, using the secret techniques of a gynecological master, the other party would actually be happy.

This is outrageous! I, Lin, have always been the one taking advantage of others and enjoying their freedom. How could I possibly be the one being pinned down? Is this reasonable?

—Except for the ghost shark! I was rescuing a girl who had gone astray into a cult! In the Ganges!

—Except for Skadi, who else but me can bear Titi's burden! No one understands Titi better than me!

"Pilgrimage to the mountain? Pilgrimage to the mountain!"

Lin Lu called out twice more, but the other person still didn't respond... No, she was still groping him!

When everyone left the waterwheel and reached the outer layer, Chaoshan had the swindler guide the King Killer and Misha to the restaurant to wait, while she took Lin Lu to the office to get the equipment.

They said they'd be right back, but as soon as they got to the office, Asahi's acting skills kicked in, and he pretended to be dazed and collapsed.

Who is Lin Lu?

Once the data-driven spiritual realm is activated, it can see everything about you, regardless of your current state.

Want to cheat him?

Dreaming!
