I'm in the Ark, a player.

Only after Qin Tianling left did Chen Huijie belatedly realize something.

This is something Qin Tianling used to do frequently, but hasn't done since leaving Longmen.

—Wait, didn't he just say he was going to ride a motorcycle?

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Chen Huijie abruptly turned her head to look in the direction Qin Tianling had left.

Although Qin Tianling has disappeared without a trace, Chen Huijie still knows very well what's in that direction.

Because this direction leads directly to her house!

Buhou!

My motorcycle!!!

Just as Chen Huijie realized this, a voice filled with despair came from the ground behind her.

"Chen Huijie... release me immediately."

Lin Yuxia is still tied up and lying on the ground.

"Ha... okay."

Chen Huijie turned around and squatted down to untie the ropes binding Lin Yuxia's hands and feet.

As for the individual ropes binding her body, Chen Huijie didn't know how to untie the tortoise shell binding, so she simply cut them open with a knife.

The moment the rope snapped, Lin Yuxia collapsed like a bowstring finally released from its tether.

After lying down for a while and resting, Lin Yuxia got up from the ground somewhat awkwardly and moved her hands and feet, which were a little numb from being restrained.

"Chen Huijie...were you secretly laughing at me just now?"

"Miss Lin Yuxia, don't worry, I have received professional training, and I will not laugh no matter how funny something is."

puff--"

As if recalling the mind-blowing scene of Qin Tianling carrying Lin Yuxia out of the house, Chen Huijie still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"You bastard, if you want to laugh at me, just laugh."

Lin Yuxia gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Huijie.

The blush on her face hadn't completely faded, and when she glared at him, there was no fierceness in her eyes. Just like what Qin Tianling had said before—her angry look was like she was being coquettish.

"Ahem, you misunderstood. I just thought of some funny things."

Chen Huijie suppressed a smile, trying her best to put on a very serious expression.

But she failed, and an uncontrollable smile spread across her face.

"What's funny? I think you only find it funny because I got embarrassed..."

Seeing the undisguised mocking smile on Chen Huijie's lips, Lin Yuxia said irritably,

Seriously, if only Swire were one of the Guardians present, why did this guy have to see it...?

"Okay, let's get serious. So how did Qin Tianling manage to catch you?"

Having laughed enough, Chen Huijie asked,

"That guy's name is Qin Tianling?"

When asked the question, Lin Yuxia frowned unhappily, crossed her arms, and looked as calm as if none of the embarrassing things that had just happened had occurred.

But the tear stains left on her pretty face silently told the story of what had just happened.

"I didn't know he was one of your men, and I fought with him."

"I wasn't in good form today, I was one move behind him, and almost lost. And then this is how it ended."

"Just... a miscalculation?"

Chen Huijie pressed for an answer with some skepticism.

"Yes, it was just a little short."

Lin Yuxia waved her hand impatiently.

Why keep pursuing this?

Do you really think I can't beat that guy?!

This time, we were simply taken advantage of by this guy due to an information gap.

If I had known the details of his strange abilities, how could I have lost to him?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuxia's resentment towards Qin Tianling intensified.

Qin Tianling, you just wait!

I'm not done with you yet!

I will absolutely, positively get my revenge on you for everything you've done to me!!!

Otherwise, I won't believe Lin!

...

----------------

I'm so tired.

Please vote for me, it would be a great encouragement.

Chapter 156, Snow Pheasant, fix this for me, I want to pilot a mecha!

"Wuhu~"

Riding that familiar sportbike, Qin Tianling sped through the streets.

The wind rushed in through his open collar, causing the hem of his coat to flutter and rustle behind him.

The engine roared and accelerated continuously.

The speed was so fast that the roadside trees blended into a blurry green shadow.

Sure enough, my own motorcycle is the easiest to drive!

I just completed the task and received the reward, it's pretty good.

The knight does not die barehanded.

[Brief Introduction: Lancelot's A++ rank anti-personnel Noble Phantasm]

It can imbue weapons and Noble Phantasms with attributes and control them. Ordinary items, when controlled, are equivalent to D-rank Noble Phantasms. If the original Noble Phantasm was D-rank or higher, it will be controlled at its original rank.

The conditions for using a Noble Phantasm are limited to those that can be recognized and identified as a "weapon".

—I'm thinking.............

Although Qin Tianling did indeed have quite a few weapons, he would often switch weapons randomly to perform combos during the fight.

But who would complain about having too much stuff?

Qin Tianling can be omitted, but the rewards cannot be absent or insufficient to match the difficulty of the mission.

All that hard work only resulted in +2 to a forging stone? That's disgusting.

After speeding all the way, Qin Tianling stopped in front of a secluded residential building, got out of the car, skillfully sprinted forward, jumped off the wall, grabbed a protrusion on the exterior wall of the building, and slowly climbed upwards.

This is where the snow pheasant lives.

While Qin Tianling was looking through his task list, he noticed that he had inexplicably completed the task related to the grappling hook gun.

It seems that the quest progress bar slowly filled up on its own as I left the map.

The snow pheasant will develop its own technology, so the progress bar will increase on its own, which makes perfect sense.

Now all I need to do is go back to her to complete the task and I can collect the reward.

Qin Tianling deftly opened the window of the Snow Pheasant's house and climbed in.

Snowshrew's house was much messier than last time, with various experimental materials and what looked like prototypes scattered on the floor.

And that familiar gray-white little figure was lying on the old desk, its body rising and falling evenly, the corners of its mouth turned up, revealing a small dimple.

Looks like I had a good dream.

...........

The snow pheasant certainly had a good dream.

She dreamt that she was inexplicably chosen by two wealthy men, one who looked somewhat like Officer Swire, and the other with a purplish-black cat head, whom Snow Chick didn't recognize.

They gave themselves an enormous check, an amount that no bank could easily cash.

This banknote was a loan they had given themselves for a month. They wanted to see what would happen if a poor guy received a huge amount of money falling from the sky but couldn't cash it.

The snow pheasant was initially puzzled, but unexpectedly, it actually worked.

As soon as she showed her the check, people would fawn over her, quickly offering her free meals, clothes, and lodging. They would go to great lengths to please her, and in the end, she lacked nothing.

This check is just a piece of paper, but the profits it brings are enough to ensure she'll live a life of comfort for the rest of her days.

Let me send some money home first.

Then set aside a portion for your own research.

Oh, right, and my benefactor.

He funded my research, so I should at least repay him properly.

Just as Xuezhi was happily making plans, a voice rang out from the side.

“oi!”

Turning my head, I saw a man whose figure I couldn't make out.

The person was saying—

"Superman of the Universe, wake up!"

I am Shafulin............

I've already finalized my plan to eliminate Ultraman.

Wake up soon...........”

"?"

The snow pheasant suddenly opened its eyes.

The familiar ceiling was in sight.

Then came that face so close, black hair, black eyes, and a familiar, slightly roguish smile on its lips, constantly muttering things she couldn't understand, like "Universal Superman, wake up!"

The words, tinged with the scent of Qin Tianling, tickled the snow pheasant's ears.

She shrank back, and the tips of her ears unconsciously turned a light red.

"............benefactor?"

The snow pheasant raised its head and called out in surprise and delight.

"Yes, it's me."

Qin Tianling nodded and straightened up.

Xuezhi looked Qin Tianling up and down, and after confirming that he was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great... You weren't arrested and taken to the Guard Bureau!"

Why do you say that?

I just took a shower today and didn't trigger any wanted level alerts.
