"oh?"
Hearing Xu Shen's words, everyone's eyes turned to him. Zhou Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to Xu Shen, was a little surprised, but soon a smile appeared on her face.
What a very interesting newcomer... She knows Xu Shen's information. It has only been about half a year since he was involved in the Ruins incident, but he has already caught up with her.
The other two leader candidates' faces changed slightly. They could understand that Zhou Yuanyuan had made a breakthrough. After all, this person had long been famous and had participated in horrific B-level incidents...
But Xu Shen, a newcomer, made such rapid progress that they all felt a sense of crisis.
"Interesting. I heard that you have purchased a lot of purifiers recently. I guess you should have reached the goal as well." One of the old leaders said with a smile.
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. Although he had expected that this information would fall into the hands of the higher-ups in the association when he purchased the Purifying Agent through Da Lili, that was why he did not conceal it.
"Are you investigating me?" Xu Shen's face was gloomy and he deliberately showed his displeasure.
"It's not an investigation, just a little bit of attention. After all, you are a candidate. Besides, the amount of purifiers you purchased was too much, a bit over the limit, so it's inevitable that we'll notice it."
The old leader smiled and tried to calm Xu Shen down. After all, he was a young kid who needed to be coaxed.
"Hmph." Xu Shen snorted coldly with a stern face.
"Don't be so formal. When you come back from the ruins cave, you will be on equal terms with us. By then, your information will be encrypted, and even we won't be able to easily detect it." Another charming woman chuckled.
"I hope so." Xu Shen's expression was cold.
The old leader smiled and didn't care about Xu Shen's attitude. After reaching the second form, Xu Shen was already equal to them. The only thing left was to pass the test of the Ruins Cave.
"I heard that the Xu Secret Bureau also plans to send you to Xu Cave. How are you going to deal with it?" One of the young leaders suddenly stared at Xu Shen coldly.
Xu Shen recognized the other person as the young man who had been to the "vegetable market" and said calmly, "How do you think I should deal with it?"
"Um?"
The young man's eyes became colder, with murderous intent and a hint of madness: "You haven't even become a leader yet, but you're already acting like one? Don't forget your current status. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you've reached the second form. Compared to us, you're still far behind!"
"Li Fei, don't go crazy."
The charming woman glanced at the young man, then smiled softly at Xu Shen with her hands covering her mouth. She was obviously a middle-aged woman but she acted like a little girl. "You don't have to pay attention to him. He was affected when he broke through the second form. His mind is a little abnormal. He is like this to everyone."
"You're not much better!" Li Fei glared at her.
The charming woman chuckled, then suddenly turned cold: "It's better than you."
"Stop arguing." The old leader waved his hand slightly, interrupting the two people who often disliked each other, and said to Xu Shen: "I also want to know how you plan to deal with it. If you are willing to retire from the Xumi Bureau, we can help you buy a retirement quota on credit in advance."
"Even if he has money, I guess that old fox Director Liu won't let him go easily." Another middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Director Liu is training him as the captain. Didn't the previous Team 3 get wiped out? The position is still vacant. Maybe he will be transferred to be the captain of the third team in the future."
Another young man narrowed his eyes and said, “If we knew now that he had made a breakthrough, we would definitely not let him leave.”
"You have to think clearly, do you want to choose us or continue to work for the Xu Secret Bureau?" Li Fei stared at Xu Shen fiercely: "Don't think of having the best of both worlds, it's wishful thinking!"
"why not?"
Xu Shen looked at the young man calmly and said, "If I can continue to hold a high position in the Xumi Bureau, our association will be able to mobilize some of the Xumi Bureau's resources in the future, which will only be a better thing for the association."
"Do you think that old fox is a fool?!"
Li Fei slammed the table and said, "Do you really think that you can keep your second code name secret forever? If the association hadn't adjusted your second code name to first-class consul, you would have been exposed long ago!"
"If Director Liu gave you a choice, what would you choose?" The old leader looked at Xu Shen with a smile.
"How do we know that you won't betray us and report our actions to the Secret Bureau?" Another young leader also questioned this.
Xu Shen frowned, this was to force him to make a decision.
pick one of two.
Although they haven't said any threatening words yet, it's obvious that if he chooses the Xumi Bureau, the Zhuiguang Society will definitely do their best to deal with him.
If you can't get it, destroy it. It's a very simple truth.
"Everyone, you want to know the answer now, aren't you too impatient?"
While Xu Shen remained silent, Zhou Yuanyuan beside him chuckled and said, "He's not even the leader yet, it's a bit unethical to bully him like this, isn't it? It won't be too late to make a choice after we come back from the cave, right?"
The leaders looked at each other, then looked at Xu Shen, and said nothing more.
Indeed, no matter what choice Xu Shen makes now, they need to let Xu Shen go to Xudong, otherwise the investment during this period will be in vain.
It’s just about slashing the ruins… They don’t lack a strong ruins slayer, but they lack ruins cave explorers.
"That's right, let's wait until the cave is over." The charming woman chuckled and agreed with Zhou Yuanyuan's opinion.
The other leaders did not say anything more upon seeing this. They also knew that Xu Shen could not make a choice on the spot and were just testing him intentionally.
After the meeting, Xu Shen thanked Zhou Yuanyuan before leaving, thanking her for helping him out.
"It's nothing. You have to think about what choices you will make in the future." Zhou Yuanyuan looked relaxed, but her eyes held deeper meaning.
Xu Shen nodded slightly. Today's light-chasing meeting was not to ask for answers, but to express their attitude.
This is indeed a difficult decision.
Xu Shen shook his head and could only wait until Xudong returned before considering it.
After leaving the Light Chasing Club, Xu Shen returned to his residence with the packaged rapid-fire gun.
There is still one month left before going to Xudong, so Xu Shen also needs to get ready. He came to the Lingguang world again, and except for detective No. 3, the alpha wolf No. 7 was not online.
"You came."
The detective saw Xu Shen and asked with a smile: "What do you think caused the last turmoil?"
Xu Shen saw that in addition to her, No. 2 also appeared online. Before he arrived, the two were discussing the reasons for the last turmoil.
Thinking that Maeve had tracked this place from nowhere, Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he asked the detective: "What do you think is the reason?"
"We guess that new spiritual secrets may be born here."
The detective woman smiled and said, "At first, I thought it was because of you that the fifth king was added, which led to the turmoil and unknown changes here. But then I thought, if that was the case, there should have been turmoil on the day you first arrived. And I heard from No. 2 that more than a dozen kings had gathered here in history, and there was even..."
She paused for a moment. Apparently there were some taboos that made a certain existence unspeakable. She then said directly, "In short, the previous speculation has been overturned. Now we think that a new spiritual secret will be born here, because the original spiritual secret crystals were not 27, but were born one by one."
“…”
Xu Shen was speechless. It seemed impossible for them to guess the reason.
"Have you ever thought that some powerful existence has noticed this place?" Xu Shen asked back.
The detective was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Impossible, this place has been around for thousands of years. It is the most secretive place in the world. There is no way anyone can shake this place."
If Xu Shen had not seen Maeve tear the crystal apart with his own eyes, he might have really believed her, but now he just shook his head. No matter how smart this detective is, he is ultimately limited by his cognition.
"What he said is not completely impossible." No. 2 spoke, as if Xu Shen's words caused him to think.
The detective was surprised.
Xu Shen ignored their inquiries and called out to Wolf Leader No. 7.
Soon, the wolf leader's ball of light gradually lit up.
"You called me?" The wolf leader looked at No. 10, but his eyes were no longer as casual as before, but became a little alert.
"I want a sniper rifle." Xu Shen said straightforwardly.
The wolf leader's expression changed slightly. Sniper rifle?
Although it is powerful, it can only threaten the second form at most. For the king, it is better for him to personally strike it.
"Just one handful?"
The leader wolf asked.
Ever since he knew Xu Shen's identity as a king, he has been wary of Xu Shen. Would a king buy guns? You must be kidding. Those kings have their own factories and can make guns themselves!
"Yeah." Xu Shen replied.
The head wolf looked a little unhappy and said, "Sorry, we are out of stock at the moment."
This is not buying guns, it is clearly aimed at him.
"Out of stock?" Xu Shen was slightly startled, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "You don't want to trade with me?"
The wolf leader smiled bitterly and said, "It's enough for you to know."
The detective chuckled and said, "Knowing that you are the king, the alpha wolf has become scared like a coward, haha."
The wolf leader rolled his eyes at her and said, "You have a sniper rifle too, don't you? I sold you one before. You can lend it to No. 10 first."
"I wanted to, but I broke the gun." The detective said jokingly. Although I couldn't see the person, I could imagine the relaxed look on her face as she shrugged as she said this.
"Ha!" The wolf leader sneered.
"As for sniper rifles, I have some here." No. 2 spoke up. It was obvious that he was somewhat interested in No. 10. "I heard that you completed No. 1's mission. I really want to know who you are."
Xu Shen frowned slightly. He didn't expect that completing Task No. 1 would cause the leader wolf to shrink back.
As for trading with No. 2...to be honest, he was a little hesitant.
After all, the opponent is the genuine third form, which is what they call the king.
If there was any manipulation during the transaction, he really wouldn't be able to detect it.
"Who are you?" Xu Shen asked back.
"Do you want to meet me?" No. 2 smiled and said, "Not impossible."
He seemed very confident.
Xu Shen was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance."
"Do you still want the sniper rifle?" No. 2 also expected Xu Shen's answer. After all, even if he was a king, he would not easily reveal his identity here.
"Yes." Xu Shen said, "Is it also 5 million?"
"I can give you a little discount, 4 million," No. 2 said generously.
Xu Shen thought of the 100 million yuan reward for a Lingmi that the other party had offered. It was precisely because of the reward for No. 2 that the members of the Lingmi Mutual Aid Association were wary of each other. Of course, it was also inseparable from the legend of the supreme power.
Everyone wants to get the 27 spiritual secrets to see if the rumors are true, but the difficulty is so great that it is "impossible to accomplish."
But there is never a shortage of crazy people in this world.
Saving one million... Xu Shen secretly sighed in his heart. For them, earning one million would cost their lives, but the other party just saved it casually.
"Okay." Xu Shen responded in a flat tone, as if he didn't care about the discount.
"Wait a minute, I'll find it for you." No. 2 said, and then went offline.
Xu Shen looked at the wolf leader.
As if noticing Xu Shen's gaze, the wolf leader smiled bitterly and said, "Number 10, I really don't have it. We are out of stock. The market cave has just opened, and the supply is tight. Many people are buying from me."
Xu Shen rolled his eyes slightly. He thought No. 7 was a tough guy, but he turned out to be a coward.
"Why did you buy a gun on the 10th?" The detective woman was a little curious and felt like she smelled a hint of secret.
"Play." Xu Shen's answer was extremely simple.
The detective woman pouted. This No. 10 has learned his lesson. Oh no, he no longer hides his original wisdom. This guy is obviously a king, but he pretended to be an ordinary and honest child before. It's really hateful.
"It must be for his subordinates. No. 10's subordinates must also go into the cave. They bought it at this point, and they didn't want to arouse suspicion, so they bought a gun..."
Although she knew that Xu Shen was the king, the detective woman's attitude was not as awed and nervous as Wolf No. 7. After all, she didn't need to make any deal with Xu Shen, so she wouldn't be exposed and she didn't have to care.
"A king who doesn't have a gun factory of his own..." The detective's eyes turned and he said with a smile, "It seems that there are not many. So it seems that the identity of No. 10 can be locked down to a very small range."
"Don't seek death." Xu Shen warned in a gloomy tone.
In addition to not liking to be tested by the other party, she also warned the other party not to test the identities of the kings she had speculated without authorization, so as not to be eliminated.
Hearing Xu Shen's words, the detective woman couldn't help but laugh, feeling that her analysis was completely on point.
At this time, the light ball No. 2 lit up again.
"We found the gun." No. 2's voice came, "This is the only one I have. It's a specially modified sniper rifle. Forget it, I'll charge you 4 million."
As he spoke, mist emerged, and an anchor appeared next to his ball of light, with a black sniper rifle lying inside.
The surface of this sniper rifle is covered with cracks, but if you look closely, these cracks are spider-like veins, like some kind of blood vessels. On the sight of the gun body, there is a huge eyeball that is spinning around!
The combination of metal and flesh, this is the firearm specially designed to deal with Xu!
"I can't even see the sniper's eye. Are you using a B-level organization?" the detective asked in surprise.
The wolf leader said in a shocked voice, "A specially modified sniper rifle? The success rate is horribly low, equivalent to the price of a Ruins God Cannon. How could you only sell it for 4 million?"
"Just make friends." No. 2 said with a smile.
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Your gun seems to be a little unclean."
"Not clean?"
The leader wolf and the detective were both surprised. No. 2 was slightly stunned and showed a helpless smile on his face.
"At least wipe off the bloodstains under the gun barrel." Xu Shen said coldly.
"Blood?"
The leader wolf and the detective stared over and looked at the barrel of the gun. The leader wolf's heart suddenly became chilled. He did not see any blood on the barrel of the gun, but No. 10 said so.
This extra blood stain...
"I was negligent." No. 2 smiled and said, "Wait for me."
After saying that, he went offline again.
The detective woman also realized something, stared at Xu Shen, and said softly: "It seems that cheap things are not so easy to get."
The leader wolf was shocked and angry. He realized that he had to be extremely cautious when doing business with these kings.
Soon, No. 2 appeared again, and the bloodstains on the gun had obviously been wiped off.
Xu Shen took another careful look and confirmed that there was nothing strange. He nodded and said, "As for the money, wait for me for two hours and I'll go get some."
"No rush, take the gun first, and you can give me the money when you have time." No. 2 chuckled, as if he was not worried that Xu Shen would refuse to pay.
Xu Shen was not polite when he heard this. He immediately controlled the anchor points to move closer to each other and used the method the detective woman had told him. Soon, the opponent's anchor points dispersed and the gun fell into his anchor points.
Xu Shen continued to observe carefully for a while, and seeing that there seemed to be nothing extra on the gun, he asked, "As for the bullets..."
"100."
No. 2 said: "The lifespan of this gun can only withstand another hundred bullets at most. After all, it is a special modified version. The power is enhanced, but the lifespan will also be shortened."
"Its current rate of fire is 800 and its range is 200. Its second form is not good at defense, but it can kill anyone if it is hit. In addition, the insight lock of the B-level Ruins Eye is difficult to detect unless it is the second form of the perception system. This gun is very easy to use even for me personally..."
"Too powerful!" The wolf leader's eyes lit up. This was simply the second form of the divine weapon.
The existence of the B-level Xuyan organization avoids the biggest embarrassment of the sniper rifle, which is that it is easily sensed by the second form.
"Number 2 is really generous." The detective's wife was also a little envious. Not to mention four million, even if it was twenty million, she would want to buy it.
"Thank you." Xu Shen said.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Shen did not stay long and left the Lingguang world.
Seeing this, the leader wolf also chose to log off.
…
…
Somewhere in a steam factory there was a creaking sound.
A burly middle-aged man with scars all over his body took the liquor in front of him and took a big gulp, then smashed the bottle on the table with a thud.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" the young man next to him was surprised.
“(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "It almost happened just now. If I hadn't been smart, we would have been finished!"
"What just happened?" The young man was surprised. He saw the boss was in a daze for a while.
"I almost agreed to a disastrous deal!"
The middle-aged man's face was gloomy: "These buyers are getting more and more cunning!"
The young man was stunned, with a look of awe and admiration: "As expected of you, you are the boss. Even when you are sitting at home, people come to visit you."
…
…
After Xu Shen exited the spiritual world, he did not immediately go to inspect the sniper rifle.
Although the bloodstains might be some kind of tracking method deliberately left by the other party, it does not rule out the possibility that there are other means besides the bloodstains. After all, the other party's goodwill is a bit too much.
Maybe they really are rich and powerful and don't care, but it's always better to be cautious.
In the following time, in addition to practicing shooting at the Xumi Bureau, Xu Shen would also go to the Zhuiguang Club to train his guns at night.
The feel of the rapid-fire model and the basic model are completely different, but fortunately, with the basic model as a foundation, he was able to get started quickly and his hit rate improved quickly.
"I don't know if there is fog in the cave. If not, it would be a waste of money to buy the sniper rifle." Xu Shen's eyes flashed slightly. He made up his mind to buy a sniper rifle just to deal with the cave.
After taking out 5 million, Xu Shen returned to the Lingguang Space, called No. 2 who was already offline, and traded 4 million.
A few days later.
Xu Shen came to the suburbs fully armed, called for an anchor in the thick fog, and saw a black sniper rifle appear.
Xu Shen observed it carefully for a moment, but did not take it himself. Instead, he asked a fog dweller for help.
He was worried that the gun might be contaminated by something it touched, but he was not worried about the danger and toxins. If No. 2 mistakenly thought he was a king, he probably wouldn't be naive enough to want to kill a king from a distance.
At most, we can leave some small tricks to track his information and location.
After Wu Min took down the gun, Xu Shen threw him a piece of cloth and asked him to wipe it thoroughly.
The gun was completely black. After the Mist Citizen wiped it, he didn't wipe off anything, including the huge eye on the gun, which kept blinking while wiping. However, the Mist Citizen could not see this strange sight.
After wiping the gun body, Xu Shen put on gloves, took the gun, and then gave the fog man 10,000 Luka coins.
"Trading with these guys is really like walking on thin ice." Xu Shen came to the suburban world with a gun. He grasped the gun body with his hand and released the virtual force. In an instant, the virtual force and the gun seemed to be connected together.
Xu Shen felt as if he had a third eye.
It's an amazing feeling.
This third eye can see extremely clearly and has a very long range.
Xu Shen knew that this was the eye organization on the sniper rifle.
Only Zhanxu personnel can fire a sniper rifle. Ordinary people can use the basic version, but the rapid-fire version also requires Zhanxu personnel. The recoil of continuous shooting alone is not something ordinary people can withstand.
boom!
A shot was fired, bullets flew wildly, and the ruins tree more than a hundred meters away suddenly exploded.
Xu Shen was secretly amazed that the destructive power of this sniper rifle was indeed strong.
After trying a few more shots, Xu Shen mastered the characteristics of the sniper rifle, retracted it into the anchor point in the thick fog, and then returned to his residence.
time flies.
The day of opening of the cave has arrived.
Xu Shen greeted the Light Chasing Club and did not gather and set out with the members of the Light Chasing Club. Instead, he gathered at the Xu Secret Bureau and set out with Mu Xue, Chu Bai and others.
What surprised Xu Shen was that, except for him and Mu Xue, the entire Team 1 and Team 2 were going to Xu Cave.
In addition, Meiya is also among them.
"We are going to Cave No. 6. In addition to us, the Light Chasing Society, the Fog Workers Mutual Aid Society, and the Black Light Religion will also send people there."
As they were about to set off, Liu Jichuan looked at Xu Shen and the others from Teams 1 and 2 with a serious expression, and said, "Be careful of their ambushes , and don't be lenient when you encounter them!"
"As for the people in the inner city...you should be as tolerant as possible and not provoke or offend them."
