I'm in the Ark, a player.

The shield slid across the middle of the ramp, past the bottom, and then continued for quite a distance on the flat surface before its speed gradually decreased.

Texas dismounted from Qin Tianling's back, bent down, and reached out to pull Qin Tianling up from the shield.

The two led the way down the slope to the end of the residential building with its exterior painted light blue. They found the address and knocked on the door.

"Penguin Logistics, always on the mission!"

Please sign for your goods.

【peko hat】

[From Death Stranding 2]

[Note: This is a hat that resembles the cute white rabbit known as "nousagi".]

The gift the data scientists gave to Sam was proof that the legendary deliveryman Sam always met every challenge with boundless enthusiasm.

Wearing it not only slightly reduces the rate of physical exertion, but also keeps one constantly reminded of the renowned dedication of data scientists, and seems to change the way one speaks.

Evening, at the bar at the end of the earth.

This is the bar owned by the Emperor, and it's also a place where Penguin Logistics members can rest.

Presumably to celebrate Texas's return from their long trip, or to reward them for a hard day's work, the entire End of the Earth Bar was booked out by Penguin Logistics.

Tonight's guests are only members of Penguin Logistics.

And the top bartender is, of course, the Emperor.

The Emperor stood behind the bar, his two claws resting on the edge of the bar. A row of bottles of liquor sat on the shelf in front of him, waiting for his employees to place orders so he could demonstrate his superb bartending skills.

Texas pulled out a chair, preparing to sit down...

Just as her buttocks were about to touch the cushion, she suddenly stopped, then used her knees to push herself up again.

Texas, please have a seat.

Why don't you sit down?

Exusiai, standing to the side, asked with some curiosity,

She sat at the bar, holding a cocktail that the Emperor had just mixed, its colors layered like a sunset.

"I like standing."

Texas said calmly.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a dragon ancestor wearing a coat walked in.

"I'm sorry,"

Seeing this, Exusiai stood up from her chair and addressed the newcomer.

"We are not serving guests today."

Exia.

The Emperor spoke up, stopping Exusiai from saying anything more.

The Great Emperor is all too familiar with the newcomer.

It was none other than Wei Yanwu, the governor of Yan State.

I'm so sorry to have disturbed your party.

Wei Yanwu said, his gaze sweeping around the bar before finally settling on Qin Tianling.

"Ladies, could you please give us some private space?"

I plan to have a brief talk with this... Mr. Qin Tianling.

Texas and the others looked at the Emperor.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then nodded to them.

The Penguin Logistics staff turned and walked out the door, while the Emperor stayed behind.

Would you like something to drink?

The Emperor, standing at the bar, asked, his fins supporting him on the counter, as he addressed Wei Yanwu, who had just entered.

"Soda."

Wei Yanwu replied,

"Tsk,"

The emperor clicked his beak and said in an annoyed tone,

"It's that guy again, the one whose wife won't let him drink."

"If you want a soda, go to the convenience store across the street; they don't sell this kind of drink here."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Wei Yanwu's face stiffened, but he ultimately smiled and said nothing about the Emperor publicly revealing his past.

After all, Qin Tianling is now an employee of the Great Emperor, which is normal, and Wei Yanwu can understand.

He came over to Qin Tianling and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Qin Tianling, it's a pleasure to meet you today."

Xiao Chen mentioned you to me.

This is a lie. Chen Huijie would never have mentioned Qin Tianling to Wei Yanwu.

But this did not prevent Wei Yanwu from using it as the opening of negotiations.

"Oh? You were also introduced by Chen Huijie to give me tasks?"

Qin Tianling suddenly found it somewhat interesting.

To be honest, Chen Huijie is such a useful NPC; one after another, you can find NPCs who can issue tasks through her.

Qin Tianling never expected that the person who came to see him this time would be Fu Rui, and Fu Rui the head of the company at that!

The dragon is a symbol of emperors!

Maybe this guy has some insights?

"No, I'm not here to give out missions."

Wei Yanwu shook his head, then spoke again.

"By the way, you know what?"

Yesterday, a madman went on a killing spree at the Ironclad Guild's stronghold, killing many people.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Qin Tianling reached out and touched his chin in confusion.

"Hey, that's strange."

"I killed so many people at the Ironclad Guild's stronghold, how come I never saw that madman?"

......

Chapter 65, Wei Yanwu: I have two swords, one of benevolence, and one of righteousness.

Wei Yanwu originally did not intend to come to find Qin Tianling.

In his view, this was nothing more than a minor squabble by the younger generation.

Also, Chen Huijie has always been strong-willed. Since she chose to deal with Qin Tianling, let her figure it out herself, encounter setbacks, and learn how to wield this difficult-to-control knife.

As the Governor-General of Longmen, he is more than capable of covering for Chen Huijie no matter what happens.

It wasn't until he received a call from a subordinate who informed him that Qin Tianling had slaughtered the entire Tie Yi Society that he understood.

Wei Yanwu then realized that Qin Tianling, this guy who had inexplicably appeared in Longmen, was no ordinary person.

That's why he's here.

Qin Tianling went too far.

The fact that nearly a hundred people died in one night is no small number!

If they were all infected people, it would be fine, but unfortunately, there are more than just infected people in this group!

Now, Qin Tianling is pretending to be stupid here?

"It seems that Mr. Qin Tianling was also present at the time."

However brutal the criminal may be, I believe he will ultimately not escape the pursuit of the Imperial Guard.

"Interesting. So, has the Guard Bureau caught them or not?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tianling's eyes lit up; he sensed the presence of a mission!

"Don't you know best whether the Royal Guard Bureau has caught anyone or not?"

"Mr. Qin Tianling, the madman and criminal who killed everyone in the Ironclad Society yesterday."

"Ok?"

Qin Tianling looked at Wei Yanwu, his brows furrowed, clearly puzzled.

He maintained that expression for about five seconds.

Only then did I realize

"--Holy crap, were they talking about me?"

I thought this was a dialogue sequence before an NPC posted a bounty, asking me to capture this murderer!

It turned out that I triggered a special NPC event by killing too many monsters!

So you weren't just pretending to be stupid just now?

Wei Yanwu's lips twitched involuntarily.

"So you're planning to put a bounty on me?"

If there's a reward offered for my surrender, how much money could I get?

After thinking it over carefully, Qin Tianling asked somewhat impatiently.

Wei Yanwu remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"I could get a reduced sentence, but I don't have the money."

"What! There's no reward!"

Qin Tianling glared angrily.

"—Are you going to be my enemy?"

Wei Yanwu's smile froze completely.

No, how did it come to the point of being your enemy?!

How can your thinking be so extreme?!

"If I were truly your enemy, why would I have come here in person?"

All you need to do is issue a wanted notice with a reward.

"So you're here to issue a mission?"
