Stealing a Nuke

The two embraced quietly.

No one spoke.

They simply felt each other's heartbeats and each other's breath.

And so, their restless hearts calmed down.

For Xiaoman, Kang De had only been gone for less than two days, but this departure was not an ordinary trip; it was a journey to another world she could not imagine... It was very dangerous, very dangerous.

It might even be gone forever.

Such matters and troubles were beyond her ability to resolve or help; even her father couldn't offer any assistance. Her childhood sweetheart possessed superhuman strength and was facing challenges beyond the Mortal World, which even the state apparatus couldn't intervene in.

There was nothing she could do but worry.

These past two days she's been plagued by anxiety and uncertainty; she's been preoccupied and disoriented, filled with worry and confusion.

Only I know the feelings I'm experiencing.

Perhaps she herself didn't realize that Kang De was more important to her than she thought.

Kang De remained silent, simply savoring the peace and tranquility of the moment.

Upon returning to the other world, he wreaked havoc and then traveled alone, preparing to intervene in the great war between nations. He was then ambushed and realized that the Crown Prince of the Human Empire had his eye on him. He offended two superpowers in one fell swoop and witnessed a massacre, seeing the pathetic soldiers who had been used and deceived.

Especially in the days before the Autobots awakened, filled with immense distrust and wariness towards the other world, he lived a nocturnal life, traveling alone and even sleeping with one eye open... This kind of mental pressure was invisible yet enormous. Fortunately, he had already witnessed even greater despair, which is why he was able to endure it.

But you still need to rest.

Just like now.

Back home, embracing her who had been worried about him, his heart gradually calmed down.

The blood and fire, the screams and malice, the sorrow and despair, are no longer important.

They hugged like that for quite a while.

Then Kang De realized he could no longer hug her.

Well, to put it this way, when he was reading books before, he came across views like this, saying that after intense battles and killings, a person's sexuality [beep--] becomes extremely strong. Kang De thought this statement made some sense, because after the previous two battles, he really wanted to masturbate, and he did.

However, after Iron Son awakened, the car was no longer a suitable place to cast spells. After all, he couldn't teach the child bad habits, so he could only go to the White Mist World to cast a spell or two when he needed to get supplies.

But this time it wasn't in time.

Previously, his mind was filled with thoughts of war, his soul shrouded in its heavy cruelty, leaving him no time to think about anything else. But now, holding his childhood sweetheart, the heaviness and sense of responsibility in his heart gradually subsided, and the tragic human instincts once again took over his body.

Although the girl was wearing a warm, comfortable, and somewhat unkempt onesie, her curvaceous body still pressed against her vaguely and subtly through the fluffy fabric. Although the two were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together, they had hardly ever engaged in such intimate behavior since elementary school.

So...

The old ladies in the village are right, Old Wang really has grown into a young woman...

Kang De calmly placed his hand on the girl's shoulder and gently pushed her away. After all, he was a young man full of vigor, and after noticing that soft and beautiful touch, raising his flag in salute was a normal physiological reaction. Old Wang cared about him so much, and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, but he pointed a gun at her at this moment. To put it mildly, it was disrespectful; to put it more bluntly, it was vulgar.

--Cold stem, cold stem.

Kang De casually tapped Xiaoman's forehead and then chuckled, "I noticed as soon as I turned on the light. Were you lying in the bedroom watching this side the whole time?"

The girl's face flushed slightly, whether from being touched on a sensitive topic or for some other reason, she huffed, "I just happened to see it. Remember to tell me next time you come back!"

The two looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.

Those are childhood memories.

The two families were neighbors, and Kang De and Xiaoman's bedrooms were adjacent to each other. In other words, as long as they opened the window and peeked out, they could see each other's faces and talk to each other.

When they were little, they often played this trick. Late at night, when they were about to go to sleep but didn't want to, they would chat with each other in this way, quietly, softly, and secretly, without their parents' knowledge.

They've been doing this for a long time.

It wasn't until they went to middle school, with social development and technological advancements, that they all got cell phones, and this kind of thing happened less frequently. But sometimes, or rather often, messages from Old Wang would still pop up on their phones. Before, it was a text message; now it's WeChat, with only two words—"Open Window."

He opened the window and saw the other person leaning against it, turning their head and smiling at him.

They even did it a few days ago.

But the past few days—or rather, the past few days for Old Wang —were a few days ago.

For Kang De, that was already a long time ago.

The girl looked Kang De closely and said, "Has it been a long time?"

Kang De knew what she was talking about and replied, "It wasn't too long, just over ten days..."

Xiaoman nodded – it seems this cycle of reincarnation was completed relatively quickly.

She asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

After asking the question, she sighed to herself, "Never mind, you wouldn't tell the truth anyway."

Kang De smiled and said, "Really not, after all..."

Xiaoman didn't want him to reveal too much about the Main God Space to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, so she interrupted, "It's best not to... How many days can you stay this time?"

Kang De's smile froze, then he shook his head and said, "I'm only back temporarily. I'll leave after midnight, otherwise things will get very troublesome over there..."

Xiaoman was somewhat disappointed, but upon hearing that things would "be very troublesome" in the Main God Space, she had no choice but to give up. Being a clever girl, she thought for a moment and then said, "You came back... is there something you need?"

Kang De nodded and said, "There is... and there's something I need your help with."

Xiaoman's eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "What?"

Xiaoman was initially distressed because her childhood sweetheart was pulled into the Main God Space, where Xiaoman experienced bloody battles and crises. However, now that Kang De had something to ask of her, she naturally became happy and proactive.

Kang De asked, "Are you familiar with that Japan agent?"

Xiaoman thought for a moment, "You mean Xiaolun? She was the one who hosted us when we went to Japan together last time. She even said you were very interesting, and even asked..."

She stopped there.

Kang De pressed further, "What do you mean?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Nothing—do you need to see her?"

Kang De said, "Could you ask me if China people are allowed to buy property in Japan?"

Xiaoman was taken aback at first, then widened her eyes and said, "You plan to expand your exorcism business to Japan?"

Ever since Kang De revealed his identity as a "reincarnator," the clever Xiaoman understood Kang De's house-buying scheme. First of all, it can be confirmed that the house is probably really haunted, or even haunted. However, this ghost was probably beaten up by Kang De and turned to ashes long ago.

With no hidden dangers, the value can naturally increase. This way of making money is low-key and proper. No wonder he is her childhood sweetheart. Even with great power, he will not lose his true self.

Kang De was taken aback and said, "What are you thinking? I..."

--Wait a minute, exorcising ghosts... that seems like a good idea.

Since ghosts truly exist in this world, there must be more than just one, and they certainly don't only exist in China. Moreover, foreign capitalist countries are in dire straits, where money is everything, and are breeding grounds for filth and evil. Without the baptism of socialism, there must be all sorts of sinister things. As the saying goes, where there's demand, there's a market. In terms of professional skill, this kind of berserker is definitely superior to those so-called high monks, yin-yang masters, exorcists, and the like...

However, it needs to be disguised.

Otherwise, it would be quite suspicious if a China person dressed in sanctuary armor and carrying a greatsword came to exorcise a ghost.

He could dress up as a Daoist priest or something similar, make hand gestures, carry ritual implements, and go to people's homes chanting incantations that no one could understand. Once inside, he would paste talismans that he had scribbled and drawn all over the house.

All of this is acting, for show. After the customers leave, he waits for the vengeful ghosts to Death-Banisher Greatsword and cuts all the evil spirits into pieces. He then announces to the outside world that he used his sect's Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Orthodox Art to kill the evil ghosts and monsters, and that they can pay now. He asks whether they want to scan a code or transfer money.

This kind of estimate makes money even faster...

Upon thinking of this, Kang De was delighted, as it was, after all, a way to make money.

He was genuinely worried about how to make money.

Even if you bring the gold coins from another world here, it's difficult to convert them into cash.

First of all, their origin is unknown, making them difficult to collect. And there's another problem—these otherworldly gold coins aren't the high-purity, golden gold Goldie in games. Due to the casting process and the unscrupulousness of the minters, their purity is questionable, and they might even be gold-silver alloys.

Selling it as an ancient coin would definitely attract unwanted attention, leading to further investigation and trouble. If it were sold as gold, I'd have to figure out how to purify it myself...

As for jewelry, there are also big problems. Without a certificate of authenticity, legitimate institutions will not accept it. Selling it on the black market won't earn much money either. Even with such a "golden touch," money doesn't fall from the sky.

Ultimately, it was simply a matter of not having enough time. Kang De couldn't take his time to develop his ideas and, under the premise of ensuring safety and secrecy, leverage his resources and communication advantages to make a fortune.

Let's wait until things stabilize before making a decision.

Moreover, the difference in the flow rate of time on both sides is so great...

A small hand waved in front of him.

Kang De snapped out of his reverie and smiled apologetically, "I just thought of something... If that tour guide has any leads or information on this, it's definitely a way to make money. You could ask her for me, but this time it's not about exorcising ghosts; I really want to buy a house..."

Xiaoman frowned and said, "Investing in Japan right now doesn't seem like a good idea... Where do you want to buy?"

Kang De gave a harmless smile and said shyly, "Anywhere near a US military base is fine, the cheaper the better. Okinawa seems like a good option..."

Xiaoman's eyes widened, and she whispered, "You're going to steal a nuclear bomb?"
