The blade is forged from black iron from the Abyss, making it sharp and tough. It is imbued with the psionic energy of [Light Devourer], which ensures that it will not reflect light under any circumstances.

Although it didn't reach the level of a spiritual weapon, it was still a near-perfect assassination dagger, extremely practical.

Zuo Le took the dagger, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming with satisfaction.

However, he still voiced his doubts:

"Isn't this knife a bit too dark?"

Chapter 31 Saintess Tuqi

When Zuo Le questioned why the dagger was too dark, Wang Jie remained unperturbed:

"Excuse me for asking, is this dagger a gift for a girl, senior brother?"

"um, yes."

"Then you can rest assured, senior brother. Not all girls like shiny weapons. This Yougui has a restrained sharpness. You'll know how good it is once you use it."

The restrained and quiet demeanor, like an unspoken, hidden sentiment, perfectly matched the senior brother's original intention in giving it as a gift; it was very fitting.

"Really?" Zuo Le looked like a complete novice who had been completely misled.

"Of course it's true."

"How much."

"This Ghost Return weapon, when imbued with spirit, costs 7000 yuan."

"7000? Why don't you just rob me?" Zuo Le looked completely unable to accept the price and made a move to leave.

"Hey, senior brother, don't worry. There are discounts available now if you become a member of the weapon shop."

Hearing Wang Jie's urgent plea to stay, Zuo Le hesitated for a moment:

"Does becoming a member require writing a complaint report? That's too much trouble. I'd have to apply through my advisor, and I don't need the weapons shop membership anyway."

"Don't rush. In principle, signing up for membership requires an appeal report, but sometimes, principles can be changed."

Besides, even if you don't need the membership card, your girlfriend might!

While Wang Jie patiently guided him, Zuo Le lowered his head shyly.

She's not my girlfriend yet.

"Wouldn't it be simpler if my senior brother gave her this Yougui sword?"

Is it really true?

"Absolutely true!"

“Alright!” Zuo Le squinted his eyes.

Through Wang Jie, Zuo Le bypassed the appeal process and purchased the Yougui sword for 6300 yuan. In fact, 7000 yuan was already within his acceptable range, but he wanted to save money wherever possible.

Given his modus operandi, nothing is more important than dealing damage.

Money, especially in unsafe environments, only becomes money when it's spent.

The money lying in your pocket is just paper.

He had never even considered imbued weapons before; he would most likely only be able to spend a few hundred or a thousand to buy a finely crafted one to make do.

I have to thank my friend Lu Chaoxi, who is ranked number one on the leaderboard, for getting my hands on Yougui now.

After putting away the dagger, Zuo Le went to the academy's gun shop. As soon as he entered, he put his revolver on the counter.

The shopkeeper was a fat man. He was laughing as he picked up a pistol and casually fiddled with the cylinder.

"Hey, New Oriental 95, you're not exactly well-maintained."

Zuo Le finally learned the model of the gun.

【New Oriental 95-Revolver】

Because revolvers are less prone to jamming and are well-suited for use by ordinary people, many were produced during the Dark Zone riots in 95, and a large portion of them remained in civilian hands.

"What do you mean, do you mean we need to recycle it?"

The college's own store not only sells but also buys back items, but the prices are incredibly low.

"No, I want to buy some bullets."

"You're buying bullets? Did you write a complaint?" The fat salesman frowned.

“I have a membership.” Zuo Le took out the membership card she had just obtained.

The fat man's brow immediately relaxed when he saw the membership card.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"22 shots."

"88 yuan, anything else?"

"Need not."

Although Shanghai officially controls firearms and ammunition, the threat of black beasts and strange creatures persists. In order to maintain the fighting spirit and morale of the people, the city has not implemented strict confiscations.

After replenishing four sets of bullets, Zuo Le spent over 100 yuan to buy some tactical gloves, belts, and other items before leaving the weapons depot.

After leaving the weapon shop, Zuo Le quickly headed to the living area and the pharmacy.

I bought a bottle of chili powder for 10 yuan to use as a projectile. I had no choice; bullets don't need to be reported, but grenades do.

With his last bit of money, he bought two bottles of 2600 healing potions as a backup plan.

The feeling of exhaustion from the last injury is still vivid in my mind.

If it weren't for Tu Mi dragging him back to the dormitory to save him, he might have died on the stairs.

Zuo Le is someone who enjoys reviewing past experiences.

He felt that all the problems stemmed from the individual's lack of ability, and that if given the opportunity, he would never allow himself to fall into that situation again.

After making all the necessary preparations, he returned to his dormitory, removed his disguises, and put on a new black jacket.

I looked at the clock on the wall...

Zuo Le took out the Tu Mi hand grip strengthener and began to wait quietly.

……

Holy Light System.

Generally speaking, as a department directly under the Holy Light Church, it is not permitted for those who are not close to the Holy Light to enter.

But there are always exceptions, such as Lu Chaoxi.

She walked alone in the long corridor of the church within the Holy Light system, her shadow dappled repeatedly as the afternoon sun shone through.

boom! !

Lu Chaoxi kicked open the door to prayer room number 4:

"Tuqi, you've become such a busy person these days. It's really difficult for me to find you."

A girl dressed in a gold and white monk's robe is kneeling on a prayer mat, praying to the holy light.

She had long, light blonde hair braided into pretty plaits, and held a book of Holy Light Prayer in her hands.

Hearing the door open behind her, the girl didn't turn around, but simply spoke calmly:

"Chaoxi, you're almost 20, how come you're still so reckless?"

Tuqi's voice was like a gentle breeze and the moonlight; just hearing it made one feel comfortable all over.

When she turned around, under the white hood was a face that looked almost exactly like Tu Mi. Although they looked very similar, you could tell the difference between them at a glance.

Aside from their different hair colors, the two have such different personalities.

Tu Mi exuded languor and decadence, and her voice was somewhat irritable.

But Tuqi's aura is one that is both formal and gentle.

Her eyes were gentle, her posture was upright, and even the way she turned the pages of the book exuded a precision that came from rigorous training.

Lu Chaoxi first closed the door, then walked to the window and closed it. Leaning against the window frame, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it in front of the statue of the first Lord of Cinder.

Tuqi raised an eyebrow:

"Smoking in front of the icon?"

Lu Chaoxi was completely unmoved by this:

"What? You want to put on that saintly act in front of me too?"

Tu Qi smiled, lowered her head, turned a page of her book, and did not answer directly:

"You didn't come to see me just to say these pointless things, did you?"

Lu Chaoxi used her foot to hook a prayer mat over and sat down directly in front of Tu Qi:

Do you know someone named Zuo Le?

Tuqi's fingers continued to turn the leaves, her expression and demeanor remaining completely unchanged.

"do not know."

Lu Chaoxi then added some more information in a menacing manner:

"Pretending to be confused? A third-year student in the psychic department, tall and thin, living in room 506 of the teaching assistant building..." Lu Chaoxi paused, then deliberately added, "He's not bad looking."

Tu Qi maintained her previous demeanor, remaining completely unmoved, though her tone carried a hint of teasing:

"For you to specifically mention someone who is good-looking, they must be really good-looking. But what does that have to do with me?"

Lu Chaoxi's fingers tightened slightly, and the cigarette was deformed from her grip.

I recalled the scene I saw at the entrance of the martial arts academy last time, that girl whose figure and profile were exactly the same as Tuqi's.

She was holding Zuo Le's arm at the time, and the two were very close. Lu Chaoxi naturally assumed that it was Tu Qi.

She even went to Zuo Le specifically for this purpose, gave him 10,000 yuan, and asked him to "leave Tu Qi".

Isn't it the same person?

Lu Chaoxi had already begun to have doubts, so she planned to take a more radical approach to testing the waters:

"Tuqi, I know you're a master of pretense, but you and my brother have a binding agreement made through the Ceremony of Inheritance. If you mess around outside, I will definitely tell everyone about it."

Despite the stern questioning, Tuqi remained unperturbed.

However, she stopped what she was doing, rested her chin on her left hand, and tilted her pupils to the left, pretending to think.

An inexplicable pressure began to spread in the prayer room.

After a while, Tuqi suddenly spoke up in a very tactful way:

"Ah~ You saw me? I'm sorry, please don't tell anyone about my relationship with Zuo Le!"

Chapter 32 You've got guts!

Lu Chaoxi stared intently into Tu Qi's eyes, not missing even the slightest shift in her gaze.

At this point, her previous intense emotions suddenly cooled down, and she looked directly into Tu Qi's eyes, abruptly changing the subject:

What kind of hairstyle does Zuo Le have?

Tu Qi paused slightly, about to speak, but Lu Chaoxi preemptively denied it:

"You don't know Zuo Le at all."

Tuqi's expression changed slightly, and a more pronounced smile appeared on her face:

"Chao Xi, it's been a while since I last saw you. You've become so smart. I thought you'd still be the same as before, all you think about is muscles."

"You bastard..."

Lu Chaoxi's eyes flickered, but she did not continue to question him.

After confirming that the person who was with Zuo Le before was not Tu Qi, she suddenly thought of many questions.

There really is a girl who looks exactly like Tu Qi. Lu Chaoxi had no idea that this person existed before. Who is she?
