Small Team Assembles

Upon hearing the explanation of the Shark Shock, the Muscular Man suddenly understood.

"I see, you've thought of everything very thoroughly, Boss."

"However... if the 'Scanning Mirror's' facial recognition database can't find any information, besides those high-ranking Noble, is it possible that they are from the Great Wilderness People?"

The Muscular Man said seriously, "After all, the faces of the Great Wilderness People aren't in the database!"

Shark Shock looked at the Muscular Man and asked, "I remember your family was alright, right? Were your parents Fifth and Sixth Class Citizens?"

Although the Muscular Man didn't understand why Shark Shock asked that, he still answered somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, my family runs a clinic in the Outer City, and my father and mother are both fifth-class citizens."

Shark Shock slapped his thigh. "Right, so this is typical of middle-class families from outlying cities, thinking that the Great Wilderness People are just people living in the Great Wilderness, no different from us—but you don't understand the Great Wilderness at all."

"Although the Great Wilderness People are also called people, their characteristics are very obvious," Shark Shock said seriously. "The Great Wilderness People usually have fierce eyes that glow red all year round, hands and feet like animal claws with sharp and hard nails, their hair like steel needles, and their teeth like steel saws. They look more like humanoid beasts."

"And they smell terrible, a stench that's been ingrained in their bones by years of hardship in the Great Wilderness! After all, the Great Wilderness People don't wipe their bottoms after they've relieved themselves, and they don't even wash their hands!"

"But that guy just now... even ignoring his elegant demeanor and the confidence that came with his superior status, he was handsome enough!"

Shark Shock made a confident judgment.

"A handsome, refined man like this, without any strong artificiality or abruptness, must be Noble —only Noble would pay attention to grooming and maintaining their appearance."

The Muscular Man nodded, having learned a great deal.

"Boss Shock, you are truly extraordinary, with such broad knowledge! You deduced so much just from these details!"

Shark Shock calmly replied, "To survive and make a name for yourself on the outskirts of this Outer City... no, to survive and make a name for yourself in this City That Never Sleeps, these are just the basics."

"Anyway, we've seen that troublemaker off. Let's go back to keeping an eye on things!"

As he spoke, the Muscular Man nodded. "Understood, Boss!"

Shark Shock watched his men leave and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I've solved another troublesome problem, that's great..."

"Shock, you're amazing! You really deserve a drink when you get off work!"

But before he could even comfort himself, the Muscular Man was back.

"What's going on? Why are you back again!"

Shark Shock looked at his subordinates and asked in bewilderment.

The Muscular Man looked troubled. "Boss... it's that guy from before, he's back!"

The Shark Shock.

"What?"

"Quickly send more men to keep an eye on him, but don't let a word get out," Shark Shock said nervously. "Don't let him make any mistakes on our turf, or we're all doomed!"

"That's strange, why are so many people staring at me since I came back?"

As Lin Yu walked through the Demon Pig Bar, he felt a mix of confusion and bewilderment as he noticed the stares directed at him and the security personnel subtly surrounding him.

While returning after leaving is certainly strange, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

Even though he had just put on a show of being a master, the way these people looked at him didn't seem like they were afraid of someone who was a master.

It's more like...

Protect yourself?

Lin Yu was very puzzled by this, feeling that something had gone wrong.

"Could it be that the 'employer' who mistakenly thought I was Great Wilderness People instructed me to prevent any accidents from happening to me, a Great Wilderness People?"

Lost in thought, Lin Yu arrived at private room number 17.

Surprisingly, the door to the private room was ajar.

Lin Yu gently pushed open the door to the private room, and elegant music drifted out, like some kind of classical lyrical string music.

This contrasts sharply with the noisy bar.

He entered the private room and found three people inside: two men and one woman.

A man wearing a leather jacket covered in studs, with many studs also in his face, looked very visually kei.

The other was a very kind-looking, overweight man in a rather ill-fitting suit, like the Head Chef of some upscale restaurant.

As for the woman, she was wearing a hood and silently playing on her phone in the corner.

As Lin Yu pushed the door open and walked in, the fat man looked at him and rubbed his hands together.

"Hey bro, wrong room?"

Lin Yu shook his head and showed the business card in his pocket. "No, the person on the phone asked me to come."

The fat man paused for a moment, but before he could say anything, a buzzing vibration came from his waist.

He answered the phone immediately.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Oh... you said there's a new person joining, and the employer personally called the name, is that right?"

"Wait a while? No way, he's already here!"

"Okay, I understand."

The fat man hung up the phone, then looked Lin Yu up and down. "You... you're that guy who wanted to join the Great Wilderness People? Brother, you don't look like it!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "What's not quite right?"

The fat man didn't respond, but the man in the studded jacket spoke up.

"The Great Wilderness People aren't as clean-cut and thin as you, nor are they as quiet and polite."

Lin Yu didn't reply, but the woman in the corner glanced at Lin Yu.

"They certainly don't seem to be from the Great Wilderness People... but it doesn't matter, they're just temporary teammates anyway."

"Your background doesn't matter, you just need to tell us what you're good at."

Lin Yu crossed his arms and said, "Shouldn't the three of you introduce yourselves and this mission to me first? I just accepted the commission and don't know anything yet!"

The man in the studded jacket frowned. "You little brat..."

The fat man quickly interrupted him, "My name is Big Ball. I used to be in the Pioneer Team of Divine Power Group. I'm good at maintaining and repairing all kinds of weapons, equipment, and individual soldier devices... I can work for any company, but I'm best at Divine Power Group's life science gadgets."

"I myself have received three rounds of injections from the Divine Power Group and undergone surgery, so I have considerable strength and outstanding Mental Power."

Then, he introduced the man in the studded jacket, "This is 'Bone Spur,' a well-known expert on Gray Street Three. He's a gunslinger, with superb marksmanship, and very skilled at planning assassinations. I've heard of him; he's handled many tricky missions single-handedly—he once successfully assassinated the CEO of a mid-sized company, a true Second Class Citizen, who was shot dead by him!"

"And it was done in the victim's home— the Security System of a Second Class Citizen's residence is definitely not ordinary."

The chubby Big Ball gestured as it spoke, while Bone Spur snorted coldly.

"I also had an assistant who helped me turn off the Security System; I definitely couldn't have broken in head-on."

The Big Ball gave a thumbs up. "That's impressive... And this Miss is called 'Zhu Rong,' she's a very skilled Alchemy —she was directly hired by the employer."

The woman, known as Zhu Rong, raised her head, revealing an exceptionally youthful face and fiery red hair and eyes.

"Hello friend..."

Lin Yu and she locked eyes, and Lin Yu noticed a barely perceptible glint in each other's eyes.

The familiar light immediately reminded Lin Yu of something.

Subsequently, the slightly surprised Microexpressions on the other party's face confirmed Lin Yu's guess.

"She was actually wearing... [Mind-Reading Mirror]!"
