Liu Wenyin

Su Ze ran to the roadside in one breath and got into a taxi.

Only when the car drove away did he breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like he had narrowly escaped death.

He couldn't stay in Mu Kingdom anymore. The Zhao family had already tracked him to his lodging, and if he hadn't been out today, he might have been captured.

Especially since he had just killed Gao Long, he figured the Zhao family would label him a fugitive murderer by tomorrow and put out a city-wide warrant for his arrest.

"Good thing I can leave tomorrow. I just need to survive tonight..."

Su Ze sat in the back seat of the car and took out Gao Long's phone and wallet. He only took these items to avoid leaving more clues for the Zhao family and to buy himself some more time.

For example, there was Gao Long's membership card for the Black Bar in his wallet. If the Zhao family followed this lead, they would quickly find the Black and White Bar.

Passing a public restroom, Su Ze asked the driver to stop. He used the excuse of needing to use the restroom and threw Gao Long's wallet and phone into the sewer drain of a stall.

Then he continued his ride, asking the driver to take him near the Black and White Bar.

He didn't choose to go into the Black and White Bar. If the Zhao family surrounded the place tonight, he would be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

After looking around the vicinity, Su Ze walked into a 24-hour convenience store not far from the Black and White Bar. He ordered a coffee and found a corner seat. He planned to stay there until morning before heading to the Black and White Bar to meet up.

Su Ze pondered the fight he just had with Gao Long. In terms of raw strength, he was actually inferior to Gao Long. Gao Long, as a local rising talent, was not weak in combat strength. Whether it was the number of skills or physical fitness, there was a gap between him and Gao Long. The reason he was able to instantly kill Gao Long was due to the perfect coordination of his skills.

"Rhino Charge" ensured he could get close, and the perfect combination of "Ant Strength" and "Needle Strike" allowed his burst of power to reach a terrifying level. If Gao Long couldn't withstand his strongest attack, he was bound to lose.

"The advantage of my current skills is high burst damage, explosive output, the ability to kill in one blow, and to defeat stronger opponents with weaker means. For example, Gao Long, despite having many skills, didn't even have a chance to use them against me.

The drawback is also very obvious: my methods are singular. It's just this one combo. If I can't kill them in one hit, I'll be at a disadvantage."

Su Ze also knew that his current defensive and escape abilities were weak. He was essentially a high-burst, fragile assassin, but it didn't matter. He had plenty of skill slots, and he could add defensive and escape skills later.

Moreover, Su Ze was confident that among the Evolvers in the Pupal stage, not many could withstand his burst combo.

Speaking of which, after Su Ze completed his first Evolution, he could absorb extracts again. However, Black Rock City didn't sell Tier 2 S-grade extracts, so Su Ze decided to postpone this matter and make plans when he reached Luofan Kingdom.

After organizing his thoughts on his first battle, Su Ze took out his spoils of war – a small toe bone – and played with it in his hand.

Regarding this Tier 1 Wonder Item, Su Ze had just found relevant information online. It was called the "Traceless Walker."

All Wonder Items publicly sold or auctioned on major platforms could have their information found online. Of course, this only applied to low-tier Wonder Items; information on high-tier Wonder Items was confidential.

The skill attached to the "Traceless Walker" was "Traceless Movement." When activated, whether running or walking, it would leave no trace, make no sound, and slightly increase speed.

It was a Wonder Item that wasn't particularly powerful but was quite practical. Gao Long had clearly used this Wonder Item to track Su Ze stealthily.

"Dr. Liu, what would you like to drink?"

A slightly familiar voice sounded in Su Ze's ear. Su Ze looked up and saw the Big Sister and her Personal Expert.

The person who had just spoken was the aunt, who was suspected to be a Butterfly Transformation Stage expert, and the Dr. Liu she mentioned was the beautiful employer.

Su Ze was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that this beautiful employer, like Zhao Lingxiao, might have a prominent family background, which was why she had a powerful expert protecting her. But now it seemed that was not the case.

Su Ze had also been protected by a Butterfly Transformation Stage expert like Zhang Fantie, but Zhang Fantie had never been so respectful to him.

Coupled with the aunt's address to her... Dr. Liu?

Su Ze had some guesses.

"I'll just have plain water," Dr. Liu replied. "Also, Aunt Yun, how many times have I told you, you don't need to be so polite to me."

Aunt Yun just smiled.

Su Ze pondered for a moment and then proactively got up to greet them. "Sister Liu, Aunt Yun."

The two looked over with vigilance. Upon seeing it was Su Ze, they relaxed slightly. Aunt Yun asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here for a cup of coffee," Su Ze said with a beaming smile, treating the convenience store like his own home, and invited, "Come sit down."

Dr. Liu and Aunt Yun exchanged glances. They, like Su Ze, had planned to stay in the convenience store until morning, so they didn't refuse and sat down opposite Su Ze.

Su Ze looked at the plain water in front of Dr. Liu and said, "What's so good about plain water? Let me treat you to some milk tea, Sister."

Upon hearing milk tea, Dr. Liu's beautiful eyes sparkled, but then she frowned. "But drinking milk tea makes you gain weight, and milk tea contains a large amount of trans fatty acids that are difficult for the body to metabolize. I've researched it, and even for Evolvers in the Pupal stage, it's best not to drink more than one cup of milk tea a day, otherwise, it will still affect your health."

"And I already drank one cup this morning..."

Dr. Liu spoke gently, earnestly educating Su Ze, making him realize one thing: she really loved milk tea.

"So... are you going to drink it or not?"

"I'll drink it," Dr. Liu's frown relaxed. Whether she was talking to herself or explaining to Su Ze, she said, "I'll be completing my second evolution soon. Once I evolve into a Cocoon Breaking Stage life form, I'll be able to drink two cups of milk tea a day."

So you're evolving just to drink an extra cup of milk tea every day?

Despite his internal monologue, Su Ze immediately went to the "Yukiko's Tea" next door and bought two cups of milk tea.

Dr. Liu held the milk tea, inserted the straw, and took small sips. Her Personal Expert, Aunt Yun, didn't touch the milk tea in front of her, maintaining her expert demeanor.

Perhaps it was because Su Ze was sweet-talking, calling her "Sister" repeatedly, or perhaps a cup of milk tea had brought them closer. Su Ze and Dr. Liu chatted idly.

Through their conversation, Su Ze learned that Dr. Liu's full name was Liu Wenyin and she was from Dongli Kingdom.

Dongli Kingdom and Mu Kingdom were separated by Luofan Kingdom. The journey was long, and transportation was inconvenient. He didn't know how she had come to Mu Kingdom, and it seemed she had gotten into quite a bit of trouble.

However, Liu Wenyin was very tight-lipped about her own information. After chatting with Su Ze for a long time, she didn't reveal anything.

He could sense that this female doctor's intelligence was quite sharp when discussing topics unrelated to milk tea.

Su Ze had chatted with Liu Wenyin for so long, not purely because she was beautiful, had a good figure, exuded elegance, had long legs, fair skin, and was a 36D... He purely had a question he wanted to ask her.

"Sister, what's your phone number?"
