Comparison

Shen Wuxiao wasn't in a rush for any of that; he didn't need to cultivate. As long as he had plenty of points, that was enough.

Therefore, he still needed to constantly find Destiny Protagonists and earn more points.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be living up to his title as a Luck Reaper.

For now, he just needed to focus on his own affairs, taking it step by step. He'd deal with Jiang Huaiyue first and make Lin Fan cry out!

The louder Lin Fan cried and the more he broke down, the more points he would get.

As for himself, he would leisurely enjoy the good life!

Awesome!!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ba Jie... Lin Fan's situation was quite miserable.

He was still living in a room in that dilapidated apartment complex.

As usual, the water and electricity were out.

Lin Fan's phone could only be kept alive by several power banks, yet he didn't dare to play with it carelessly.

Moreover, Lin Fan hadn't showered in many days.

He smelled awful, his once-neat crew cut was about to become a middle part, and he was unshaven.

For food, he was relying on instant meals.

Things like compressed biscuits and self-heating hot pots.

This had caused him to be constipated for two and a half days.

While he wasn't a picky eater, eating the same thing constantly would eventually get tiring.

Especially the oily and spicy self-heating hot pots.

But he was helpless.

Today, he had intended to go out and buy some things.

However, before he could even leave, he saw a group of people in black suits searching the area.

Judging by their formation, there were at least one to two hundred people, a dense black mass, like the Axe Gang attacking Pig Cage City.

He wasn't afraid, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided not to go out.

Watching those people search and question people in the area, Lin Fan felt annoyed.

When had he, the mighty Border Wolf King, ever been so pathetic?

If the young master of the Sea Brake Society he had accidentally killed had been an utterly wicked person, then the other party would have dared to come after him and he would have annihilated them.

Just a local force, daring to be so arrogant.

But there was nothing he could do. The person he had killed was indeed innocent, so it was only natural for them to seek revenge.

If he were to needlessly commit murder, it would go against his original intentions, and his martial arts path would lead to extremism.

Lin Fan remembered deeply, from beginning to end, that he had once been a soldier!

Soldiers do not turn their blades on civilians.

Endure!!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A fierce voice also came from outside: "Is anyone in there? If someone's in, open the door, otherwise I'm kicking it in!"

Lin Fan's brow furrowed. He knew they had found his location.

But Lin Fan wasn't flustered at all. In his current state, the other party definitely wouldn't recognize him.

However, to be safe, Lin Fan took an extra precaution.

He picked up some leftover self-heating hot pot containers that hadn't been thrown away and poured the soup at the entrance of the door.

Then, he grabbed some stuffing from a broken sofa and rubbed it together, tossing it onto the soup.

This way, it looked like some kind of filth.

"Coming!" Lin Fan replied, then went to open the door.

Three men in sharp suits stood outside, all exuding an aggressive aura.

They looked at the unshaven, dirty-faced person before them.

"Is it just you in here? Anyone else?"

"Just me!" Lin Fan replied.

"Let us in to search!" The three men moved to enter.

However, when they saw the disgusting mess on the ground, they immediately abandoned the idea of going inside.

Damn it, this guy must be crazy.

Even though the people living in this soon-to-be-demolished area were not wealthy, none of them were this disgusting.

They also gave up on the idea of entering.

Then, they handed over a colorful flyer.

"See the person in the photo? Contact the number below immediately. Once confirmed, you'll receive a million-dollar reward on the spot!"

Lin Fan took the flyer. It was his own photo.

Below it was a description.

"Okay, I understand. If I see him, I'll definitely call. Is it really a million?"

The three of them chuckled. "Of course! But if you dare to make a false report, you'll face the consequences. We at the Sea Brake Society aren't to be trifled with."

With that, they left, heading to the next location.

Lin Fan closed the door and looked at the flyer in his hand, his expression grave.

This attention wouldn't die down anytime soon.

This level of effort was practically a wanted poster.

The Sea Brake Society was clearly determined not to give up.

In this area, everyone should have a copy of this information by now.

If someone sharp-eyed recognized him, then things would truly get serious.

From now on, even going out to buy supplies would require extreme caution.

It seemed he'd have to find time to talk to his brothers in space and time about the situation.

Lin Fan returned inside and slumped onto the worn-out sofa, letting out a long sigh.

He felt both sorrowful and fortunate.

Sorrowful because he had accidentally killed someone, and now things were even more complicated.

Fortunate because he had met Sikong, who was a good person and was helping him without reservation. At least he had someone to help him here.

As Lin Fan sighed, his mind drifted back to his old comrades.

"Sharp Knife, Tank, Red Leaf, my brothers and sisters, I wonder how you all are?"

"And Yue'er, you must have completed your mission and returned to the team by now!"

"You must be furious when you heard about my expulsion from the military!"

"My ears are tingling; you must be thinking of me right now. I want to tell you, I miss you too!"

"Don't worry, once I've sorted things out, I'll come find you. I'll express my feelings then, and I'll surely promise you a lifetime of prosperity!"

Lin Fan muttered to himself, and Shen Wuxiao's incredibly beautiful, world-toppling face seemed to appear before his eyes!

In reality, Lin Fan was being overly sentimental. Jiang Huaiyue didn't have the time to think about him!

At that moment, Jiang Huaiyue was placing dishes on the table and calling Shen Wuxiao for dinner.

"Dinner's ready!" Jiang Huaiyue called out.

Shen Wuxiao came running in happily.

"Wow, Yue'er, you can cook too! I was just about to ask someone to send dinner over, and I didn't expect you to have already prepared it!"

Shen Wuxiao praised as he looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table.

The dishes were simple: stir-fried pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised eggplant, and a corn and pork rib soup.

But they were all appetizing in color, aroma, and taste, and their presentation was excellent, making one feel very hungry.

"It's been a long time since I cooked. I don't know if my skills have declined. Just make do with it!" Jiang Huaiyue replied calmly.

She was busy with her hands.

She served the rice, then picked up a soup bowl, served Shen Wuxiao a bowl of soup, and pushed it towards him.

Then she sat down opposite Shen Wuxiao and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Try it!" Jiang Huaiyue said.

"Alright!" Shen Wuxiao picked up his chopsticks and directly took a bite of the stir-fried pork with green peppers.

After one bite, Shen Wuxiao nodded continuously. "The pork is tender and smooth, and the flavor is just right. Yue'er, your cooking is really good!"

Shen Wuxiao wasn't just flattering; it was genuinely good.

He had never cooked before; he always ate out, and what he ate were luxurious and elaborate dishes.

The ingredients were the same, but with careful pairing and plating, they looked fancy and cost many times more.

But in essence, they were still home-style dishes with flavor.

Jiang Huaiyue had also gotten used to him calling her Yue'er, and she no longer felt the initial discomfort.

Hearing his praise, Jiang Huaiyue simply smiled faintly. "Eat more!"

After saying that, she fell silent, eating quietly.

She didn't look at Shen Wuxiao.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time she had cooked for a man.

Even Lin Fan had never eaten her cooking.
