Bang!

The next two months.

Xu Qing trained while keeping up an intense hunting schedule.

With the company crisis resolved.

Xu Qing had more time after work to make bracers and knee guards.

However, over those two months.

His luck had not been very good. He gained little from the Hunting Zone, killing only nine Lion Mastiff Dogs in total.

Once, he had nearly been surrounded by six sixth-tier Silver Moon Wolves.

That made Xu Qing extremely cautious in his movements for quite some time.

This was also the main reason his efficiency had dropped.

Still, the good news was.

Over those two months, his base strength had risen to 18,929 kg.

And he had accumulated another Free Attribute Point.

Xu Qing could not help but marvel.

The combination of C-grade Gene Potions and the Gene Guidance Technique was truly powerful.

Two months of training was equivalent to a full year of his previous training.

City Light Car Rental.

"Yo, heading to the base city again? You Intermediate Artisans really are different. You've got money, huh?" the rental shop owner, Li Chengguang, teased with a smile.

Xu Qing waved a hand. "Haven't I donated all that money to your rental shop? You're the real boss."

Li Chengguang burst out laughing. "Oh, you kid really know how to talk. By the way, I saw that Zhao Xinfeng brat a couple days ago. Why was he skulking around the entrance of your company?"

Xu Qing raised a brow. "Zhao Xinfeng?"

Then he shook his head. "That kid sold out our boss's daughter. After he was fired, the police put out a warrant for him, and after that, no one knew where he went.

"Uncle Li, if you see him again, remember to call the police."

Li Chengguang looked surprised. "Was it because of that Red Knife Society incident?"

Xu Qing nodded.

"Well then, I let a bad guy get away!"

Li Chengguang stroked his chin as if casually saying, "Since that kid is wanted and is also a thorn in Celestial God Company's side, he still dared to sneak back.

"Could he be up to something nasty?

"You should tell Zhou Yu to be careful."

Xu Qing frowned slightly, then nodded. He immediately took out his phone and called Zhou Yu to tell her about it.

Over the phone, Zhou Yu said in a grim tone that she understood.

Only then did Xu Qing hang up in relief. He smiled at Li Chengguang. "All right, Uncle Li, I'm off. The boss asked me to bring you back some good liquor. Thanks."

Li Chengguang waved him off. "No big deal."

Watching Xu Qing drive away.

A cold voice finally sounded beside Li Chengguang's ear. "Master, why didn't you tell him directly?

"That Zhao Xinfeng has connected with the Rebel Army forces on the moon and is after the things in his warehouse.

"Why did you instead lie and say Zhao Xinfeng had appeared near Celestial God Company?"

Li Chengguang waved a hand. "You wouldn't understand. Just enjoy the show."

After a while, he explained as though to himself, "I said that only to put him on guard.

"These Rebel Army forces are coming in aggressively. If I don't warn him at all, I'm afraid the kid will stumble into trouble.

"But if I warn him too much, I'm afraid he'll suspect my identity.

"Sigh, being a reclusive master is really hard."

The intelligent computer replied coldly, "Humans are hard too."

Li Chengguang: "..."

0119 National Highway.

Xu Qing sped along in his jeep. He planned to first visit the warehouse in 0121 County to test his punching strength.

Then he would visit the auction house to see whether there was anything good for sale lately.

Finally, he would head to the base city.

After all, he had the whole weekend.

Yet for some reason, his heart remained unsettled as he drove.

"Uncle Li saw Zhao Xinfeng at the company entrance? That kid actually dared to come back? How could he dare?"

Xu Qing muttered in confusion.

Then he subconsciously slowed down.

"This man had been quiet and withdrawn from the start. Even when I trained in boxing with him under Senior Liu, we barely exchanged a few words by the end. He was extremely introverted."

He frowned.

"Yet I never expected him to dare sell Zhou Tong's whereabouts to the Red Knife Society. Clearly, he was actually a bold and reckless sort."

"Gloomy, introverted, bold, insane."

After summing him up, Xu Qing sensed the danger of such a person.

Thinking of this, he called Zhou Tong.

"Hello, Little Qing. What, missing your big sister?"

The moment the call connected, Zhou Tong's flirtatious voice rang out.

"Can you talk properly? If someone heard you, they'd think you were some loose woman," Xu Qing grumbled speechlessly.

"Get lost." Zhou Tong instantly dropped the act.

Only then did Xu Qing say, "By the way, you don't have any plans to go out recently, right? The person who sold your whereabouts to those kidnappers last time seems to have been lingering near the company again lately.

"Someone saw him, so I wanted to give you a reminder.

"Go out less these days and protect yourself.

"Don't get captured again.

"I won't be able to save you then."

Hearing Xu Qing's words, Zhou Tong immediately grew nervous. "Really? My classmates and I just made plans to go on an outing."

"It's true," Xu Qing said firmly.

"Then I won't go, okay?" Zhou Tong said in a coquettish tone.

"Go or don't go, I don't give a damn. I delivered the message. Bye." Xu Qing decisively hung up.

Xu Qing tapped his Tactical Watch and said helplessly, "That idiot girl. We're talking about serious business, and she still loves to derail the conversation. Seriously speechless."

After warning Zhou Tong, Xu Qing felt slightly more at ease.

He headed straight for Silver Sparrow Warehouse.

Everything in the warehouse remained as it had been.

Xu Qing had already come to regard this place as his second home.

Other than all those things he did not understand taking up space in the warehouse.

After doing a little cleaning, Xu Qing began testing his strength.

Bang!

A direct hit on the target.

19,821 kg.

Though he was still at the fifth-tier level, it was a considerable improvement over half a month ago.

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction, then sat before the computer and opened the auction house's official website.

He was no longer the poor kid he had once been.

With 20 million in hand, what could he not buy?

After looking for a while, Xu Qing slammed the computer shut.

"Fuck, I can't afford anything."

"Twenty million!"

"Damn it, I need to make money!"

With an angry expression, Xu Qing picked up his backpack, grabbed his spear, and headed outside.

"This auction house is practically robbery."

Xu Qing cursed as he walked out of the warehouse.

But.

The instant he stepped outside, his entire body jolted with a hair-raising sense of dread.

He nearly jumped out of his skin and instinctively took a step back.

Bang!

A flash of fire streaked past his forehead and buried itself in the wall of the nearby warehouse, leaving behind a deep hole the size of a fist!!

Boom—

Only then did a thunderous gunshot ring out from the distance.

Xu Qing's expression changed drastically. He retreated violently into the warehouse and ducked into a corner.

A sniper rifle!!

Touching the skin on his forehead, burned by the air currents kicked up as the bullet grazed past, cold sweat poured down Xu Qing's body as fury filled his heart!

Someone was trying to assassinate him!

At the same time.

A series of faint footsteps sounded around the warehouse.
