Chapter 878: Chapter 326: What Kind of Profession? Is It Profitable? (2)

Who the hell would go to Wu Country for no reason!

They’re still at war over there.

Although they are all people with extraordinary skills, each with their own unique abilities.

These abilities allow them to shine in relatively peaceful places, but if they were to go to a real battlefield, they wouldn’t be much different from cannon fodder.

One by one, they would all become lambs to the slaughter, and their fate would likely end there.

Many people already had impatient expressions on their faces.

They were anxious inside, but there was nothing they could do, they simply didn’t have a way to contact the liaison person proactively.

Those invited on this train to carry out a mission are all outstanding individuals, sharp-eared and clear-eyed, with a blend of wisdom and capability.

Just the fact that Lia went into Zhang Beixing’s room and hasn’t come out yet was enough to draw their attention.

They saw clearly when a few train conductors entered Zhang Beixing’s room, gained nothing, and left dejectedly.

Even when some went to probe the conductors for information afterward, the conductors either remained silent or got angry and dismissed them.

This alone indicates that the person in the compartment is not simple.

They just don’t know Zhang Beixing’s specific identity yet.

Because of the unknown, groups of people have started conspiring together.

"We can’t go on running around like headless chickens; we need to find some intelligence."

"Yes, we can’t just keep waiting. Taking DE Organization’s money isn’t that easy, if we don’t produce some results, we might be held accountable later."

"Hmm, I reckon the man who took Lia must be central to this mission. We should test him, even if it costs us something."

...

Some people wanted to probe actively, while others felt they shouldn’t provoke because the person seemed difficult to deal with.

"If you want to go, go ahead, even if DE Organization’s money is burning hot, I’m not rushing in without clear orders to bring trouble to myself." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I agree, I’d rather refund them after getting off the train. We’re almost to Wu Country. If we don’t get clear intel by the Lanbo Borderline, I’ll choose to get off; I won’t take such a big risk."

...

After discussing for a long time, four people remained uneasy and still wanted to test things out.

They were used to living life on the edge, licking blood from the blade.

This time, not only did they intend to complete the mission and earn a lot of money, but they also wanted to satisfy their curiosity.

This thrilling life is exactly what they wanted.

Just as things were being heatedly discussed and prepared outside.

Inside the compartment, Zhang Beixing slowly opened his eyes.

That was a really comfortable sleep.

Slept for over ten hours straight!

Since becoming a Grandmaster until now, he had never slept for this long.

The sudden drowsiness left him puzzled.

In the environment on this train, you couldn’t exactly say it was absolutely safe, so why did he sleep so soundly?

Zhang Beixing couldn’t figure it out for the moment.

Maybe it was due to getting injured in that battle in Wu Country when he was knocked out by an explosion.

And then he was constantly busy, without any time to rest properly.

Was this the reason he slept for so long?

He didn’t know, and he didn’t intend to dwell on it.

He planned to sit up and move his body, only to find that it seemed like someone was lying next to him.

Hmm??

What is this?

Startled, he wondered how it happened that someone was sleeping next to him, and he didn’t even notice?

If he didn’t notice while sleeping, so be it, but not noticing upon waking, something seemed amiss.

For Zhang Beixing, this wasn’t a normal situation.

He looked around slightly, spotting a pair of jade-white arms resting across his chest.

The fair skin felt quite nice to the touch and contrasted noticeably with his own.

Looking up a bit more, he saw a face akin to an angel.

Not breathtakingly beautiful, but with her eyes closed, she exuded an aura of purity.

Especially those long eyelashes, they looked adorably cute.

Zhang Beixing recognized the person instantly.

Lia.

The beautiful thief.

How did she end up in my bed?

Zhang Beixing was puzzled.

He vaguely remembered that before going to sleep, she was chatting with Lady Makely.

The two of them were engrossed in their whispers, which was how he got hypnotized into sleeping.

Could it be...

The thief has such skills? Could she hypnotize people with her voice?

This thought flashed by, and he immediately shook his head to dismiss it; it seemed too far-fetched.

If she had such power over ordinary people, Zhang Beixing might believe it.

But what was his status?

Transcendent!

Having transcended the ordinary, even the world’s top hypnotherapists couldn’t put him under.

Lia, an international thief, how could she do such a thing?

Zhang Beixing glanced around the compartment.

Makely was also asleep, but on the opposite bed, turned away so her face was hidden, a bit of the blanket covering her, and her glasses by the pillow.

Zhang Beixing gently pinched Lia’s nose.

Watching as her pristine face turned rosy and then red from lack of air, eventually forcing her awake.

Seeing her awake, Zhang Beixing let go and looked at her with a strange smile.

"So, beautiful thief, why did you come to snuggle in my bed for a sleep?"

"You’d better give me a reasonable explanation, or I’ll suspect you intended to assassinate me."

Lia was awake.

"Ha... ha... puff... ha..."

She was so out of breath, she breathed heavily, her chest heaving with the breaths.

Being close, Zhang Beixing could easily feel her body’s movement.

After finally catching her breath, Lia glared at Zhang Beixing fiercely.

"You’re so stingy!"

Her tone carried a hint of anger; she wanted to angrily scold Zhang Beixing, but didn’t dare, only making a mild retort.

Even then, she kept checking Zhang Beixing’s status repeatedly.

She was apprehensive about Zhang Beixing lashing out at her.

Seeing he didn’t make any further moves, just continued to stare, waiting for her answer.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"I saw you asleep, and Lady Makely also went to sleep. I’m not used to sleeping alone, so I..."

"So you got into my bed?"

Zhang Beixing’s tone grew even more peculiar.

What’s this habit?

Earlier, when he first opened his eyes and saw Lia, he had checked.

The girl was quite decent.

Neither she nor he had any signs of altered clothing; they both slept rather decorously.

"What kind of habit is that? Coming into my bed to nap with me?"

"Did you secretly take pictures of me while I slept, planning to post them on social media later, using my huge following to become an internet celebrity?"

"Then stir up public opinion, start streaming, and sell products?"

"Finally clean up your image, successfully transitioning from a thief to an influencer?"

Lia was stunned.

Hmm??

"Why is it, I can understand every word you’re saying, but when put together, I have no idea what you mean?"

Lia stared blankly at Zhang Beixing.

What do you mean by selling products, then becoming a streamer?

A new profession? Is it profitable?
