I'm in the Ark, a player.

"Click".

The door was closed.

Exusiai, who was fast asleep in bed, opened her eyes.

"As expected, Qin Tianling isn't that kind of man..."

They had such a great opportunity, yet they did nothing.

Those were all my own dreams..........

These strange dreams are caused by my own subconscious...

Thinking of this, Exusiai's expression became somewhat solemn.

Now we have to admit something, don't we?

I, Exia, harbor impure feelings towards my friends and those whom Sora likes.

Xiao Le... Xiao Le, I'm a bad kid...

............

Chapter 194, Jie: I'm going to fight Qin Tianling, is that true?

"What's wrong with Qin Tianling, that stinky outsider, his brain?"

Lin Yuxia stood on the edge of the rooftop of a low building in the distance, her delicate brows furrowed.

She watched as Qin Tianling, who had randomly picked up gang thugs in the distance, ran them over like speed bumps.

These gangsters hadn't provoked Qin Tianling at all, but Qin Tianling inexplicably started beating them whenever he saw them.

He was laughing while he was hitting him, and blood splattered all over his face.

No wonder the underworld figures in Lungmen are afraid of this guy.

Who wouldn't be afraid of a mentally ill person with exceptional fighting skills?

That's right, the person who has been following Qin Tianling these past few days is Lin Yuxia.

Ever since Lin Yuxia was tied up and carried to Chen Huijie like a handbag by Qin Tianling, she had been secretly following and observing his every move.

This is not about viewing women sexually assaulted.

This is a necessary means to achieve the goal.

She wanted to get revenge on Qin Tianling for what he had done to her before.

—It's one thing to embarrass yourself in front of Chen Huijie in that way, but on the stairs you actually... actually... ughhhh!

How could I not care!

What's even more outrageous is that Chen Huijie actually spread the word about it!

During the day, she said she was very tight-lipped, but that night Swire sent her a message!

There was no pretense, no concern whatsoever; all that remained was mockery of Lin Yuxia's situation during the day.

At the very end, Swire even sent her a manual for using Qin Tianling, supposedly compiled by Chen Huijie, saying that if she wanted to hire Qin Tianling, she had to follow the instructions in the manual.

Putting aside the question of why hiring this guy has to be done according to his strange, superstitious rules,

How could I possibly hire such a despicable guy as Qin Tianling?!

Although Qin Tianling had managed to outpace her at times these past few days, Lin Yuxia had kept a close eye on most of the time, such as when she leaped from the twenty-third floor and launched a valiant attack on the Red Hand Society headquarters.

It must be said that Qin Tianling is indeed very capable; in fact, his strength has overshadowed the character flaws he has in Lin Yuxia's eyes.

I happen to have some things that require help... so why don't I give it a try?

After a moment's thought, Lin Yuxia turned her gaze back to Qin Tianling.

Those three thugs couldn't withstand a single move from Qin Tianling; in the blink of an eye, they were all lying on the ground.

Qin Tianling squatted on the ground like a delinquent youth, rummaging through their wallets while taking out his phone to send messages to someone.

No... let's just forget about this guy who looks like some stinky out-of-towner begging in Longmen...

and........

"He's clearly so strong, but he's full of weaknesses."

Lin Yuxia closed her eyes, sighed, and said helplessly,

He'd been followed for days without realizing it; his awareness of counter-surveillance was so poor. What if he wasn't the one following him, but an assassin?

For example, the legendary Unarmored Alliance assassins from Kazimierz who are skilled at long-range sniping.

From this distance, it would be easy to pierce his head.

A person dies when they are killed.

Even with his formidable strength, he cannot escape his human weaknesses, nor can he guarantee 24-hour vigilance.

"Um?

"Where did that guy run off to again?"

When Lin Yuxia opened her eyes again, she saw only three thugs lying on the ground in the distance, but no sign of Qin Tianling. She felt a real headache coming on.

Oh no, she's lost track of him again.

In the short time it took to close his eyes and sigh, where did he disappear to again?

"I ran behind you."

Suddenly, a male voice rang out close to her ear, accompanied by a breath of hot air that kept patting against Lin Yuxia's earlobe.

"!"

Lin Yuxia almost instinctively turned around and took two steps back to create distance.

Qin Tianling, who had just disappeared, was now standing behind him.

Damn it, when was this discovered?

Was it because I let my guard down for a moment that he found out?

Lin Yuxia stared warily at the man in front of her, her mind racing.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so surprised to see me?"

"Didn't you stalk me like a psycho for days?"

Tilting his head, Qin Tianling said...

After all, it's shown on the minimap.

At first, Qin Tianling thought this guy had a crush on him, but later he felt something was off. Still unable to figure it out, Qin Tianling simply chose to leave it alone.

"Um!?"

Lin Yuxia's face immediately turned ugly.

So you knew from the beginning that I was following you!?

And then you pretended not to know and I continued to follow you!?

Ugh... This is terrible.

This feeling of smug satisfaction followed by the realization that you've actually been made a fool of is absolutely awful...

But since you've been pretending not to know and playing me for so long, why are you bringing it up now?

Lin Yuxia pondered with a serious expression.

Finally, she came to a conclusion.

"You want to fight me here?"

"...You want to be my enemy?"

"How dare you talk to me like that? Logically speaking, an NPC of your level who only has looks to offer shouldn't be qualified to breathe on me!"

I think you want to be my enemy!

"?"

Lin Yuxia looked somewhat surprised upon hearing Qin Tianling's words.

So it's not about taking action?

No, he might not have intended to attack.

Was it my first impression of him that led me to think the worst of him?

Lin Yuxia continued to ask,

"If that's not the case, why did you come to me on your own initiative?"

"Of course I have something to ask you."

"What is it?"

Do you know the Rat King?

Qin Tianling looked at Lin Yuxia and asked her this question.

"I don't know—"

After a moment's thought, Lin Yuxia was interrupted by Qin Tianling the instant she began to deny it.

Don't say you don't know, I know you absolutely do.

"Because I just asked Chen Huijie, and she said that if we want to find the Rat King, it would be better to start with you."

Just now, after Qin Tianling finished beating those thugs, he casually asked Chen Huijie about the Rat King.

Then Chen Huijie told him to go find Lin Yuxia.

He arrived.

You know,

He will take what Qin Tianling wants himself.

"Tsk, that talkative woman."

Lin Yuxia smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.

She clearly knew it herself, but she still insisted on making Qin Tianling ask her.

Does she feel that this kind of thing shouldn't be discussed by an outsider like her?

You stinking cop.

Lin Yuxia, who had a bad impression of Qin Tianling, naturally didn't intend to say anything.

But then she thought about it again.

Qin Tianling has indeed been working for Chen Huijie these past few days. What if he needs to talk to the Rat King about something important?

Okay, let's confirm it for now.

"What do you want with the Rat King?"

"Is that even a question?"

"Of course, I'll fight him!"

Qin Tianling said almost without thinking.

The Rat King was the first time Qin Tianling had heard of him from the Red Hand Society.

He had been paying attention to this name ever since he heard it.

Not only is he so well hidden, but he's also the top figure in the underworld, known as King Xiang?

—Isn't this what a hidden boss means?!
