Chapter 180: Chapter 169: Black Technology, the Power of the Magnetic Pile

’My Lady?’ A thought stirred in Gao Neng’s mind.

Just as he’d thought, his guess was correct.

Ye Ying was the core of this group of aliens, a resurrected Dark Night Elf. The only strange thing was, why wasn’t her butt as firm as it used to be?

Of course, that wasn’t the main question on his mind right now.

He was rapidly calculating the power balance between the two sides. If he wasn’t mistaken, the old man he’d killed was the weakest of the group.

Besides him, there was the man and woman living on the second floor.

The strongest was the middle-aged man on the fifth floor.

Tallying it up, he was starting to understand the layout of this small building. The weak were on the lower floors, the strong were on the upper floors, and the core was in the middle.

So, the biggest variable was the other two women living on the fifth floor.

What was their strength?

’Middle-tier?’

’Or were they just there to sleep with him?’

If they were just there to sleep with him, then the two women were probably just the middle-aged man’s accessories, and their strength would be average. But if not, he might have to face three middle-tier opponents.

BANG!

The window shattered.

Gao Neng finally re-entered Ye Ying’s room.

...

「Eastern Capital Military Academy.」

Fang Tangtang’s expression was a little grim.

She had guessed that Gao Neng had snuck off behind her back to his workshop to build something.

But what was the reality?

According to their shared phone location, she discovered that Gao Neng hadn’t gone to any workshop at all. Not only that, he had been stopped at an unfamiliar location for several minutes.

’Could he be cheating?!’ Fang Tangtang remembered that Gao Neng had left with a woman. Although she hadn’t gotten a clear look at the woman’s face, she was sure it was a woman.

That busty chest...

That was all the proof she needed!

’That guy actually dares to cheat on Sister Ning’Er behind her back? How could I, Death God Fang Tangtang, Sister Ning’Er’s loyal confidante, possibly tolerate such a thing?’

’I have to call and tell Sister Ning’Er!’

’No, wait. What if he’s already finished by the time Sister Ning’Er gets there, and he denies it? I have to go catch him in the act!’

’Once I, Death God Fang Tangtang, have the evidence of his crime in my hands, won’t Gao Neng have to do whatever I say? I’ll make him build me another Number 5 Electromagnetic Cannon!’

’Hahaha, I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am an absolute genius!’ As Fang Tangtang thought of this, a brilliant smile spread across her face.

...

「Inside the five-story building.」

After bursting into Ye Ying’s room, Gao Neng immediately saw a figure standing at the window with her back to him.

Ye Ying hadn’t fled.

She just gazed quietly out the window, her black nightgown, which she had changed into after bathing, fluttering in the night breeze from the broken window, revealing glimpses of the fair, bare skin underneath.

"Didn’t we agree to be friends?" Ye Ying turned around, a hint of resentment in her eyes, her long hair draped over her shoulders. "Besides, didn’t you already choose to leave? Why did you come back?"

BOOM!

As Ye Ying spoke, the floor cracked open.

The middle-aged man covered in crimson scales had just burst straight through the floors from the first story to the third.

"Lady Nightingale, you go first!" The middle-aged man stood between Gao Neng and Ye Ying, his eyes glowing with a faint red light.

BANG!

BANG!

...

Then came several more thuds.

Outside the window and the door, five aliens surrounded them once more.

Inside the small room, Gao Neng and Ye Ying stared at each other.

The difference was, Gao Neng was completely surrounded. Except for the middle-aged man, the other five aliens attacked Gao Neng the moment they appeared.

"I offered my heart to the moon, yet the moon shines upon the gutter. Alas..." Ye Ying sighed softly again, then tightened her nightgown.

BOOM!

Gao Neng cleaved the first man charging at him in two with his blade.

At the same time, he took a step to the right, which put him right next to the two women who lived with the middle-aged man on the fifth floor.

The two women attacked from his left and right without hesitation.

One woman used a short blade.

The other used her long legs.

One from the left, one from the right.

Gao Neng didn’t dodge.

THUD!

THUD!

With two soft thuds, he was sent flying into the wall.

The worst-case scenario had come to pass...

These two women weren’t just here to sleep with him; like the middle-aged man, they were also middle-tier.

Three aliens at Tier Four or above, and another three at Tier Three Late Stage?!

’This wave... is a super jackpot!’

"Listening to the spring rain in a small tower overnight, apricot blossoms sold in a deep alley come morning." Gao Neng looked up, wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, then held his large machete horizontally across his chest.

"I didn’t expect you to be a rare, romantic scholar. Is this your answer to me?" Ye Ying leaned against the windowsill, nodding thoughtfully.

"As if you understand a word of it," Gao Neng said with disdain. Then, he glanced out the window. "Fang Tangtang, if I die today, I’ll come back to haunt you!"

BANG!

The already ruined door was suddenly kicked off its hinges from the outside.

Then, an arrogant young woman strode in from the doorway. Her clear eyes scanned the men and women standing in the room before finally landing on Gao Neng.

"Gao Neng, you have the nerve to say you won’t let me go? You think I, Death God Fang Tangtang, would let you go? Getting caught in an Immortal Leap while you were cheating... you totally deserve it!"

The young woman carried a golden Scythe of Death on her shoulder, her eyes full of pride. "Go on, how much money are you trying to extort from him? I, Death God Fang Tangtang, will pay it for him!"

...

The tense, explosive atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Even the middle-aged man and Ye Ying were stunned for a moment.

As for Gao Neng, he watched the lone Fang Tangtang, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

’So, what in the world is with this girl’s thought process?’

’She actually came here all by herself!’

’What is she planning to do?’ 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

’Don’t tell me she really came to catch me cheating?’

"Kill them," Ye Ying ordered.

The two aliens standing by the door snapped back to their senses and attacked Fang Tangtang from both sides at lightning speed.

"Oh? You two think you can fight me, Death God Fang Tangtang? Come on, then... let me show you Death God Fang Tangtang’s Thirteen-Consecutive Slash!"

"Ouch! Are the thugs for Immortal Leaps this strong nowadays?"

"Whoa... Middle-tier!"

"Wait, how much do you want? I, Death God Fang Tangtang, have tons of money! Don’t you believe me? My grandpa is the chairman of the Celestial King Group!"

BOOM!

Fang Tangtang was kicked, sending her flying to Gao Neng’s side.

Gao Neng’s face darkened, completely speechless.

’This girl’s train of thought is truly terrifying...’

"Gao Neng, what’s going on? Weren’t you caught in an Immortal Leap?" Fang Tangtang clutched her stomach, her arrogant expression gone, replaced by one of frustration.

’Why?!’

’You’re the one caught in an Immortal Leap, why are they hitting me?’

"Are you blind? Can’t you see that guy wearing snakeskin? These are all alien spies! Didn’t you see the location I sent you?" Gao Neng really wanted to strangle Fang Tangtang.

"I saw it, that’s why I came!"

"Then why did you come alone? I won’t even mention anyone else, but at the very least, you should have called Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing, right?" Gao Neng roared.

"Wait, what did you just say? These are all alien spies?"

"You’re only just realizing that now?"

"Wow, then we’re gonna be rich! Do you know how many Merit Points you get for successfully discovering one spy? 300 Merit Points, can you believe it! We found a whole nest this time! That’s like taking down one of their strongholds. That’s at least three or four thousand Merit Points!" Fang Tangtang was so excited she was about to start dancing.

"That many?" Gao Neng was also a little surprised to hear this.

According to the Merit Point exchange rate, 1,000 Merit Points was worth three or four million Alliance Coins. Three or four thousand Merit Points would be close to twenty million Alliance Coins!

’A huge windfall.’

"Of course! Spies are really hard to catch. They usually never expose themselves unless they’re forced to. Oh, right... how did you find them? Oh, I know... you had an affair with an alien, and she decided to silence you because you were bad in bed, right?"

BOOM!

Fang Tangtang hadn’t even finished her sentence before she was punched so hard she stuck to the wall.

Gao Neng didn’t block the blow for her.

’How dare you say I’m bad in bed?’

’Have you even tried it?!’

"Go, Gao Neng, remember to leave them alive! The woman who hit me just now was a middle-tier, remember that! You take the middle-tiers, I’ll handle the rest!" Fang Tangtang didn’t seem to mind much. She quickly peeled herself off the wall and began to swing her Scythe of Death again.

"It’s not one middle-tier, it’s three! Are you sure the two of us can beat them?" Gao Neng was utterly speechless. He really didn’t know if Fang Tangtang was actually blind. ’Don’t you see the snakeskin man standing right in front of us?’

He had just finished speaking when...

Fang Tangtang was once again punched into the wall by another Middle-tier Woman.

"Wow, three middle-tiers?! I actually didn’t notice before. We’ve really struck it rich now! A middle-tier spy is worth at least 600 Merit Points! You really did stumble into a spy nest this time. But it’s okay, even though they’re strong, I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am rich! Gao Neng, hurry up and eat this!" Fang Tangtang climbed out of the wall again, her face growing even more excited.

"What is it?"

"A Seed Burst Pill! It’s super powerful! Eating one can boost your strength by a huge margin. It’s black tech from my Celestial King Group. The market price is 20 million Alliance Coins per pill. Really, I’m not lying, that’s the real market price. Remember, you ate one of my Seed Burst Pills, so we’ll split the Merit Points seventy-thirty later!"

"In your dreams! You’ll get twenty percent at most!" Gao Neng snatched the so-called Seed Burst Pill that Fang Tangtang shoved at him and, without a second thought, swallowed it directly.

"What do you mean, twenty percent?! I said you get thirty, I get seventy!" As Fang Tangtang spoke, she quickly swallowed a Seed Burst Pill herself.

"Not good, that’s the power of the Spring of Life!!!" When the snakeskinned middle-aged man saw Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang swallow the Seed Burst Pills, his eyes suddenly went wide.

"The Spring of Life? Isn’t it a Seed Burst Pill?" As Gao Neng expressed his surprise, he suddenly felt an immense, almost terrifying power surge within his body.

That power was like a ball of fire, setting all the blood in his body ablaze.

An extremely strange, yet extremely familiar sensation washed over him.

VMMMM!

Gao Neng felt the world around him become clear once again.

’What’s going on?!’

’Why... can I feel the power of the Magnetic Stack?!’

’This Seed Burst Pill...’

’It’s actually related to the Magnetic Stack?!’
