While waiting for Zhang Ying Hao to arrive, Ye Fei Li and Gu Qing Shan talked a bit about their homeworld’s current situation.
“So, you made it to the top of the Tower of Infinite Worlds?” Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
“Ah, yeah. Thanks to you bringing that thing out, I grew stronger so fast” Ye Fei Li replied.
“So, how hard was it to climb?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“The entire process felt like a dungeon crawler game——– as you know, I’m an expert at things like these” Ye Fei Li triumphantly boasted.
“Have Barry and Kitty also climbed to the top?”
“They haven’t. Since the presence of the Abyss keeps penetrating into the 900 million World Layers, not even scattered worlds are able to avoid the issue. They’ve been busy keeping things under control, occasionally they’d travel to the 900 million World Layers and silently save their friends”
“Right, why isn’t Liao Xing here? With so many unknown matters in the 900 million World Layers, I was sure he’d be interested” Gu Qing Shan felt it a bit strange.
“About that—– erm, how should I say it, you should know, he has a lot of children”
“Right, I’m quite clear about that” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
When he first contacted Liao Xing, this was the first thing that left the deepest impression on Gu Qing Shan.
“He has too many children, the oldest of which can already get married——- so he’s been busy with worrying about his kids. Things like buying houses, cars, finding jobs for them, so on and so forth”
“The Apocalypse is coming and they’re still worried about jobs…”
“Of course, you’re going to need money as long as you’re alive, there’s no way around it. Criminals have all been executed by Impartial Goddess”
“Are things really that chaotic?”
“No, without the Abyssal calamity, our homeworld is actually quite well-off. With the 6 realms of the Samsara fused into one, it’s a scene of prosperity everywhere——— in fact, Barry and Kitty have been living quite well, I even feel like they’re a bit unwilling to leave”
“Is that so, well…”
Recalling their destitute appearance when he met them, as well as the two infinite-balance credit cards that Impartial Goddess gave them, Gu Qing Shan nodded in understanding.
Now that I think about it, it’s been a very long time since I returned, I wonder how far Impartial Goddess has evolved.
While Gu Qing Shan was lost in thought, the guards escorted a person into the room.
He seemed like a gentleman among men, wearing a pair of glasses with a cigarette in his mouth, both hands in his pockets.
It was Zhang Ying Hao.
“I feel like it’s been a long time since we met”
He greeted them.
Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li grinned, then moved up to give him a group hug.
“I heard you’ve been making preparations to kill ‘God’ after I left?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“You’re my business partner, my losses are immeasurable if you die, so I had to get it back somehow” Zhang Ying Hao replied.
They exchanged glances—–
“Wait a minute, oi, what’s wrong with your eyes?” Zhang Ying Hao asked with a pale complexion.
“It’s fine, I’ve been training a certain technique recently so my eyes aren’t able to see anything for now” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Ah, so that’s what it was”
Zhang Ying Hao calmed down.
He walked up to the sofa before plopping down and placing his foot on the table.
“I’m dead tired from the trip, you got anything to eat? It’s been days since I last ate something”
He said relaxedly.
Even after going through various kinds of baptism, he was still able to keep up his natural casual manner.
——or perhaps hitmen were simply that way.
The Bramble Bird Kingdom’s palace was basically safe, and since his good brothers Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li were here, there was no need for Zhang Ying Hao to act stiffly as he always did.
“We’ll get something to eat later on, let me introduce everyone first”
Gu Qing Shan then started introducing everyone to each other.
“This is the Bramble Bird Empress, Laura”
Laura smiled brightly: “Greetings, everyone, I’ve heard much about you all from Gu Qing Shan, I hope you will enjoy a great time in my kingdom”
“Naturally” Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li responded at once.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “This person is, erm, my elder sister, her name is Lin”
Lin waved her hand to greet them.
“Huh? Since when did you have an elder sister” Zhang Ying Hao was confused.
“Long lost for many years, long lost for many, many years”
Gu Qing Shan glossed it over.
He then turned to Lin and Laura: “This one is Ye Fei Li, my good friend”
Ye Fei Li awkwardly waved to greet the two ladies.
Lin stared at Ye Fei Li for a long while and curiously asked: “I can tell that you are a World Destroyer, your evolution was stopped half-way, then suddenly changed into a perfect evolution———- how unusual, what kind of ability do you have now?”
She had always been interested in new abilities.
Ye Fei Li originally didn’t want to say anything, but then he recalled that this woman was Gu Qing Shan’s elder sister, and the way they interacted with each other was quite casual so it didn’t seem to be fake.
If we aren’t outsiders, it would be a good thing to know more about one another, that way it would make it better to fight alongside one another later on.
——-perhaps this was Gu Qing Shan’s intention when he introduced everyone.
With that in mind, Ye Fei Li explained: “My fighting strength isn’t much to talk about, but this is my unique ability”
As he reached his hand out, an invisible power gathered on the palm of his hand and manifested as a can of drinks.
“What is this?” Gu Qing Shan asked with interest.
“A Soul Points Beverage” Ye Fei Li mysteriously answered.
“Soul Points Beverage? How have I not heard of it before?” Lin questioned further.
Ye Fei Li replied: “This is just what I named it——– whenever I cause damage to an enemy, I’m able to absorb their Soul Points, store it, then convert that Soul Points into various kinds of drinks as I wish”
“What are the drinks good for?” Zhang Ying Hao was also interested.
“The most basic function is to heal wounds, but later on I was able to create power batteries—— spirit energy, mental power, mana, energy in general, I can replenish them all” Ye Fei Li explained.
Gu Qing Shan muses: “That… Why does that sound like recovery items in games?”
“That’s exactly it!”
Ye Fei Li excitedly said: “As long as I cause damage to an opponent, I’d be able to steal their Soul Points and directly store it and use as recovery items whenever we go up against particularly powerful enemies”
Everyone went silent.
This guy is too addicted to games.
Zhang Ying Hao silently thought.
“A very interesting power, truly an eye-opener” Lin expressed satisfaction with learning about this ability.
Laura thought for a bit before asking: “Then, how do these drinks taste?”
Hearing this question, Ye Fei Li deflated: “The taste is random, I’ve been trying over and over, but still haven’t found a way to control it”
“Can I have a try?” Laura seemed eager.
“What do you need to replenish?”
“Normal bodily energy”
“Wait a minute—— there, here you go”
Laura received the can and popped it open.
She carefully took a sip.
“Ah? That tasted like champagne”
Laura took another sip, then became hysterical.
“This is perfect! I don’t have to be afraid of getting fat anymore!”
She shouted.
Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao were both confused.
Gu Qing Shan and Lin both understood right away.
If she’s able to directly replenish energy expenditures this way, wouldn’t that mean Laura is able to grab even more treasures?
—–unless Ye Fei Li’s Soul Points reserve runs out, Laura wouldn’t have to worry about eating too full or becoming fat from eating.
That’s impressive!
Sure enough, Laura randomly put her hand into the void of space.
A big handful of ancient gold coins fell to the ground.
“Ahahaha, from now on, no one will be able to stop me from looking for treasures!” Laura happily declared.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “Fei Li, can you directly manifest the Soul Points you steal into beverages without converting it?”
“I can, it would actually take less effort” Ye Fei Li eagerly declared.
Gu Qing Shan patted him on the shoulder: “Very good!”
He was a bit glad.
From now on, I have another source of Soul Points.
But more importantly——
This source doesn’t get subjected to the War God UI’s robbery!
This source doesn’t get subjected to the War God UI’s robbery!
This source doesn’t get subjected to the War God UI’s robbery!
Importantly matters need to be said three times!
Ye Fei Li then said: “Hey, enough about me, what abilities do you have?”
Laura pulled out a compass from the void of space and replied: “I probably don’t need to tell you; everyone knows about my abilities”
Indeed, as the wealthiest being in the 900 million World Layers, Laura was too famous.
Her three abilities had already become an open secret.
Ye Fei Li turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Four swords manifested from the void of space behind Gu Qing Shan.
“Four swords—— so you’re still using them”
Ye Fei Li nodded, then turned to Lin.
Lin crossed her arms and indifferently replied: “I don’t have any special abilities, but you won’t beat me even if all of you attack me at the same time”
Ye Fei Li and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged glances, then glanced at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan nodded affirmatively.
The two of them gasped.
No wonder this woman could be Gu Qing Shan’s elder sister!
Ye Fei Li then asked Zhang Ying Hao: “What about you? It’s been so long, how’s your hitman Card going?”
Zhang Ying Hao smiled bitterly and silently muttered: “Why do I feel like I’m actually a normal person after seeing your abilities?”
“You’re not normal at all, after being pursued for so long in the Strife Zones, not even the experts that God sent out were able to catch you” Lin casually commented.
Gu Qing Shan silently glanced at her.
If I remember correctly, the Strife Zones’ ‘God’ was actually Lin before I returned.
Zhang Ying Hao shook his head and sighed: “The difference between me and you guys is too great. Even those 3rd-rate movies and books wouldn’t write me into this cast of characters——- usually, they put several heroes of similar strength to form a team, then save the world——– just look at our lineup here——- compared to you, I’m like a little brother”
Gu Qing Shan consoled him: “A little brother that can kill people, and this isn’t a novel”
Zhang Ying Hao swiftly turned the subject and added: “However, I’ve always relied on having friends all over the place, and an old friend just told me that he wanted to see you”
“See me?” Gu Qing Shan froze.
Zhang Ying Hao took out a black pistol from his chest pocket and placed it on the table.
