Liu Wenyin

Su Ze ran all the way to the roadside and hailed a taxi.

Only after the car drove away did he let out a breath, feeling as though he had survived a disaster.

He could no longer stay in Mu Kingdom. The Zhao Family had already tracked him to the bathhouse where he lived. If he had not happened to be out today, he might have already been caught.

Especially now that he had killed Gao Long. By tomorrow, the Zhao Family would likely brand him a fugitive murderer and put out a citywide warrant for him.

"Good thing I can leave tomorrow. As long as I make it through tonight..."

Sitting in the back seat, Su Ze took out Gao Long's phone and card holder. He had taken them only to avoid leaving the Zhao Family more clues and buy himself some more time.

For example, Gao Long's Black Bar membership card in the card holder. If the Zhao Family followed that lead, they would soon trace it back to the Black and White Bar.

When they passed a public restroom, Su Ze asked the driver to stop. Using the restroom as an excuse, he threw Gao Long's card holder and phone into the squat toilet drain.

Afterward, he continued riding in the taxi and had the driver take him near the Black and White Bar.

He did not choose to enter the Black and White Bar. If the Zhao Family surrounded the place tonight, he would be a fish in a barrel.

After wandering around the area for a while, Su Ze entered a twenty-four-hour convenience store not far from the Black and White Bar. He ordered a coffee and found a seat in the corner. He planned to stay there until dawn, then head to the Black and White Bar to meet up.

Su Ze reflected on his fight with Gao Long. In terms of raw strength, he was actually inferior to Gao Long. As a locally renowned genius, Gao Long's Combat Strength was not weak. Whether in number of skills or physical fitness, Su Ze lagged behind him. The reason he had been able to kill Gao Long instantly was the perfect coordination between several of his skills.

Rhino Charge ensured that he could get close, while the perfect combination of Ant Strength and Needle Strike gave him an incredibly terrifying burst of power. If Gao Long could not withstand his Strongest Strike, defeat was inevitable.

"My current set of skills excels at high burst damage. My output is insane; I can kill with one blow and defeat the strong while weak. Take Gao Long, for example. He had plenty of skills, yet when he faced me, he did not even get the chance to use them.

"The weaknesses are obvious too. My methods are too limited. I only have this one combo, and if I can't kill my opponent instantly, I'll be put on the defensive."

Su Ze also knew that his current defense and Escape Skills were weak. He was a fragile assassin with high burst damage. Still, it did not matter. He had plenty of skill slots, and he could add defensive and escape skills later.

Besides, Su Ze was confident that among Pupal stage evolvers, there probably were not many who could withstand his full burst combo.

After completing his first evolution, Su Ze could absorb extracts again. However, Black Rock City did not sell Tier 2 S-grade extracts, so he temporarily put the matter aside and planned to consider it once he reached Luofan Kingdom.

After sorting through the lessons from his first battle, Su Ze took out his newly acquired spoils—a small toe bone—and turned it over in his hand.

Su Ze had just looked up information about this Tier 1 Wonder Item online. It was called the Traceless Walker.

Information could be found online for all Wonder Items openly sold on major platforms or put up for auction. Of course, this applied only to low-tier Wonder Items. Information on high-tier Wonder Items was confidential.

The skill attached to the Traceless Walker was Traceless Walk. Once activated, whether running or walking, the user would leave no traces or make any sound, and their speed would increase slightly.

It was not a particularly powerful Wonder Item, but it was quite practical. Gao Long had clearly relied on it to follow Su Ze without being noticed.

"Doctor Liu, what would you like to drink?"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded beside Su Ze. He looked up and saw the beautiful older sister and her Personal Expert.

The one who had spoken was Aunt Yun, the woman who seemed to be a Butterfly Transformation Stage powerhouse. The Doctor Liu she addressed was the beautiful employer.

Su Ze was slightly surprised. He had originally assumed that this beautiful employer, like Zhao Lingxiao, came from an influential family and thus had a powerhouse protecting her at all times. But now, that did not seem to be the case.

Su Ze had once been personally protected by Zhang Fantie, a Butterfly Transformation Stage powerhouse, but Zhang Fantie had never treated him with such respect.

Coupled with the way Aunt Yun addressed her... Doctor Liu?

Su Ze began to form a few guesses.

"Plain water is fine," Doctor Liu replied. "And Aunt Yun, how many times have I told you? You don't need to be so polite with me."

Aunt Yun merely smiled.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ze stood and greeted them. "Sister Liu, Aunt Yun."

The two looked over warily. When they saw it was Su Ze, they relaxed slightly. Aunt Yun asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came for a cup of coffee." Su Ze's face was full of bright enthusiasm. Treating the convenience store as though it were his own home, he invited them, "Come sit down."

Doctor Liu and Aunt Yun exchanged a glance. They had originally planned, like Su Ze, to stay in the convenience store until dawn, so they did not refuse and walked over to sit across from him.

Looking at the plain water in front of Doctor Liu, Su Ze said, "What's so good about plain water? I'll treat you to milk tea, Sister."

At the mention of milk tea, Doctor Liu's beautiful eyes lit up. But she immediately frowned. "But drinking milk tea makes you gain weight, and milk tea contains large amounts of trans fats that are difficult for the body to metabolize. I've done research on this. Even Pupal stage evolvers should not drink more than one cup of milk tea a day, or it will still affect their health."

"And I already had a cup this morning..."

Doctor Liu spoke gently, seriously giving Su Ze a scientific explanation. It made him realize one thing: she truly loved milk tea.

"So... are you having one or not?"

"I'll have one." Doctor Liu's furrowed brows relaxed. It was unclear whether she was talking to herself or explaining it to Su Ze as she said, "I'll soon complete my second evolution. 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 so you can drink one more cup of milk tea every day?

Jokes aside, Su Ze immediately went next door to Xuezi's Tea and bought two cups of milk tea.

Doctor Liu held her milk tea, inserted the straw, and began taking small sips. Meanwhile, Aunt Yun, her Personal Expert, did not touch the cup in front of her, maintaining her expert's composure.

Perhaps it was because Su Ze had a sweet tongue and kept calling her Sister, or perhaps the milk tea had brought them closer. In any case, Su Ze and Doctor Liu began chatting on and off.

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

Luofan Kingdom lay between Dongli Kingdom and Mu Kingdom. The journey was long, and transportation was inconvenient. He had no idea how she had made it to Mu Kingdom, but it seemed she had gotten herself into quite a bit of trouble.

However, Liu Wenyin kept her mouth tightly shut regarding further details about herself. Even after talking with Su Ze for a long time, she had not revealed a thing.

It was clear that when the topic had nothing to do with milk tea, this female Doctor was still quite sharp.

Naturally, Su Ze had not chatted with Liu Wenyin for so long just because she was beautiful, had a great figure, an elegant temperament, long legs, fair skin, and 36D breasts... He simply had a question he wanted to ask her.

"Sister, what's your phone number?"
