Chapter 234: Translate for Me, What Does Underground Ruin Mean!
"Awakening, shadow, and shadow stone, not bad harvest. It seems I'm off the hook, and Wang Ge that unlucky guy is taking the blame for me."
From this ferocious tiger's mouth, Qin Muye also understood a thing or two. The Shi family's young master, Shi Shao, had his eye on the shadow stone in Wang Ge's home, which could awaken a shadow.
But Qin Muye had a very puzzling question: If he wanted it, why not just buy it? After all, from Wang Ge's situation, it seemed the other party didn't even know what the shadow stone was.
Yet, he had gang members break Wang Ge's legs and frame him, which was just plain crazy. It seemed he wasn't willing to pay even a small price and was only thinking of illegal methods.
The Shi family corporation was a massive enterprise. Without mentioning anything else, paying a few million would be like a drop in the ocean, yet it ended up like this.
Now, they've offended Qin Muye, and his entire family is in deep trouble.
"Stupidity can be fatal." Qin Muye shook his head. He thought it was about a woman, and if it were, he could understand the young head making a rash decision. But for something related to extraordinary abilities, making such a rash decision could only be called sheer idiocy.
Well, even if they went to Wang Ge's house and he refused to sell, it shouldn't have escalated to this extent.
Hiring someone to sneak in and steal it would have been fine, or even grabbing it from a corner. But to play it so openly was quite shameful.
Qin Muye informed the Gospel Goblins in the Demon Network to keep an eye out for shadow stones and the ferocious tiger. The tiger claimed to be an official, but he definitely wasn't; he might be a member of some illegal organization.
Qin Muye might be able to trace back to their organization through him and take them all down. At the very least, he should be able to get some information about shadows.
These extraordinary beings seemed to have formed a system, but it was unclear if there was an official organization in this country.
Walking to the bottom of the dormitory building, Qin Muye looked up: "Someone in my dorm? From the lingering scent, it seems to be a stranger."
"Strange, from the blood flow, heart rate, and even the breathing pattern, it seems a bit off."
Qin Muye had keen senses; otherwise, his human bloodline, which was like a boss template, would be nothing more than a pretty face.
Unfortunately, the modifications weren't thorough enough. Otherwise, he could determine the gender and height without even trying.
Pretending he didn't know, he slowly climbed the stairs and pushed open his room door. He saw a tall woman sitting in the middle of the room, crossing her legs.
Just by her sexy appearance, it would be a shame not to dissect her, except for a few flaws.
"Your chin, chest, and ribs have been operated on, haven't they?" Qin Muye felt something off about her the moment he saw her, like one of the artificial humans he had made.
"???" The woman was completely bewildered. Why would he ask about surgery at their first meeting?
"Cough, sorry, some aftereffects." Qin Muye said, somewhat embarrassed. He had the artistic perspective of the Titan race, and he could immediately see the artificial and modified parts of her body.
This made the woman's face turn dark: "With that mouth of yours, no wonder you have no friends."
"So, what do you think?"
Qin Muye was completely confused. He had just arrived in the morning, so what was there to consider? The memory brief didn't mention this.
"If I say I have amnesia, will you believe me?" Qin Muye asked tentatively.
"Refuse if you want to, but don't use amnesia as an excuse to fool me." A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and she seemed ready to attack.
Fortunately, Qin Muye reacted quickly. Otherwise, the Hell Projection and Familiar Projection would have emerged, and with the Demon Network's instinctive counterattack, this woman would have been directly put in a casket without the need for a funeral service.
"I really forgot. Tell me again. Why would I tease you for no reason?" Qin Muye said casually as he sat down.
At this point, the woman gave Qin Muye a serious look: "You really are different from yesterday. Yesterday, you were like a quail, but today, you're like..."
"Let's not beat around the bush. Yesterday is yesterday, today is today.
Qin Muye interrupted her, saying:
"Sure, we found an underground ruin. We're not sure which dynasty it's from, but we need your help to guide us and identify it. If we succeed, we'll give you ten percent of the spoils." The woman said.
Qin Muye narrowed his eyes and slowly replied, "Ten percent? You're trying to fool me. Thirty percent, or I'll find someone else."
What does "underground ruin" mean? A tomb, of course, what else could it be?
Moreover, Qin Muye felt that this group was not ordinary tomb raiders. He could sense that the woman's shadow, like the ferocious tiger's, had already awakened.
However, the difference was that the ferocious tiger gave him the feeling of a fierce beast, while the woman was like a cold dagger—one was a living creature, the other a lifeless object.
A tomb that caught the attention of a superhuman was definitely not an ordinary one.
The woman's eyes flashed with intense killing intent, but she quickly suppressed it: "Thirty percent, then. We'll come to you tomorrow. I hope you don't go back on your word."
"Tomorrow? I won't be available then. At the very least, it will be the day after tomorrow. I need to go and complete my resignation procedures." Qin Muye said calmly.
This was his chance to take control; why should he follow their lead?
"Fine, then the day after tomorrow." The woman turned and left the dormitory without another word.
Once she was far enough away, Qin Muye smirked: "So eager to agree. She probably doesn't even want to give me that ten percent and is planning to take my life instead."
But Qin Muye didn't care. The woman's strength was genuinely weak, at most a 2nd Rank.
And joining forces with him was practically asking for death. His temporary skill was similar to the "Heavenly Slaughter Lone Star," especially when it came to targeting teammates. He estimated that once they entered, the entire group would be wiped out.
Qin Muye didn't let her off so easily. Instead, he instructed a Gospel Goblin to follow the woman and find out what was really going on and why they had approached him.
"Chill Ghost, how did it go? Did he agree?"
The woman's code name was Chill Ghost. She got into a car at the Qingxia University entrance.
"He agreed, but there's something off about this kid. He was timid yesterday, but today he dared to tease me." Chill Ghost's expression was displeased, and she recounted the situation truthfully.
The large man driving the car had the code name Mountain Tower. After hearing Chill Ghost's words, he sneered: "Thirty percent? This kid has a big appetite, no problem giving it to him, but he won't live long enough to enjoy it."
"The boss said this underground ruin might have been built by the Yin Mountain Lord and contains many shadow stones. Once we sell them, we can leave the country and live in luxury."
Mountain Tower's expression flickered with a cold gleam, seemingly dissatisfied.
Chill Ghost's eyes also showed greed. Currently, a single shadow stone was worth hundreds of millions and was in high demand with no supply. They had only managed to obtain a shadow stone by chance, which allowed them to awaken their shadows.
"Did you see the ferocious tiger? Is there any chance of an accident?" Chill Ghost suddenly changed the subject. Money was good, but they had to get it first. Otherwise, everything else was just a mirage.
"No, the ferocious tiger is investigating the Shi family. The entire Shi family was wiped out at noon today." Mountain Tower said calmly, seemingly rough but not a fool, as he had already investigated thoroughly.
"Better not. If anything happens, you'll have to explain it to the boss." Chill Ghost quickly distanced herself from responsibility.
Mountain Tower's face darkened: "I'll investigate tomorrow."
The ferocious tiger's background was far beyond their group, so he didn't dare to make a move against him. Besides, he wasn't a match for the ferocious tiger, so he could only investigate indirectly.
As for guaranteeing that there would be no problems, he didn't dare to make such promises. If something went wrong, it wouldn't just be about not getting the money; it would cost him his life.
The ferocious tiger, being part of a large organization, would not negotiate with ordinary people, but he certainly wouldn't negotiate with their small, black-market team. Ordinary people had the Shadow Management Bureau as a buffer, and those from large organizations had to follow the rules, but they didn't need to.
The car continued driving, but neither of them noticed a strange bird in the sky following them and live-streaming their conversation.
The bird even boldly circled their car, occasionally landing on the roof to listen more clearly, completely unafraid.
