Chapter 18: Accepting the Commission

  However, Xiaobai Tuzi didn't worry at all after knowing this. Instead, she was a bit excited. In her opinion, the annoying guy who could even avoid her had a high success rate of stealing the secret formula. And even if he failed, it wouldn't be a big deal. At worst, they would just start a business in "Shenmo" later. Anyway, she really liked playing "Shenmo".

  As soon as Zhou Jian entered the door, Xiao Bai Tu Naiguai stared at him with her big, exaggerated eyes, staring at Zhou Jian without blinking, until Zhou Jian's face was about to turn red. It wasn't that Zhou Jian had thin skin, but he couldn't help but think of yesterday's scene...

  Don't look at me little sister, no matter how you look, you can't make up for it, I've already seen everything yesterday... Of course, Zhou Jian could only say this in his heart.

  Light Cloud Fairy saw Zhou Jian's "shy" appearance and couldn't help but laugh, an 18 or 19-year-old young man was actually made to feel embarrassed by a little girl, in her heart she had a few points of good impression towards Zhou Jian's shyness, to the point that what he did last night sneaking into his own bathroom wasn't so bothersome anymore, maybe yesterday he also entered with a red face, after all, he was also forced into it.

  However, Qingyun Xianzi also knew in her heart that this dark sword, although a bit like the big boy next door in terms of personality, was not low in intelligence, otherwise he couldn't play games so outstandingly. His skills were even more impressive, and if anyone thought of him as a harmless little boy, then they would be foolish.

  Qingyun Xianzi welcomed Zhou Jian to sit down, poured a glass of fruit juice and said: "Really didn't expect that Mr. Dark Sword was hiding his true abilities, but Qingyun has fallen into her own trap."

  "Haha, what a coincidence." Zhou Jian regretted saying those two words as soon as they left his mouth. What was he supposed to say? That it was a coincidence that he ran into her taking a bath in the bathroom?

  Fortunately, Qingyun Xianzi did not pursue the matter of last night, but instead smiled and said: "Yesterday's bet was a loss that I willingly acknowledged, so I'll give the small hairpin to Master Dark Sword. As for introducing you to girls, I will naturally keep my word, Master Dark Sword shouldn't be impatient."

  "This isn't urgent..." Fainted, why is my mouth so clumsy today, this little girl's words are really hurtful, I shouldn't have said it wasn't urgent, and saying it was urgent would be even worse.

  Although the Light Cloud Fairy didn't plan to pursue it, Xiao Bai Tu Naigai, this little witch, couldn't help but burst out laughing. This little girl had always looked down on Zhou Jian before, but after yesterday's events, she began to take an interest in him. That mysterious and clever technique made her excited just thinking about it, and if she could learn it too, that would be wonderful!

  Zhou Jian coughed somewhat awkwardly and changed the subject, saying: "Uh... shouldn't we talk about the task that the fairy wanted to entrust to me earlier?"

  "Hehe, Mr. Dark Sword, no need to address me as 'Xianzi' one by one, it sounds a bit awkward. Just call me Qingyun. I invited you here this time specifically to discuss that matter, let's use private chat."

  "Okay."

  Xīng Yún Xiān Zǐ told the whole story, and Zhōu Jiàn said after listening: "So you want me to steal the laptop? That's no problem, but how do I know where the laptop is?"

  The fairy said: "The notebook is in that person's home, I'm sure of it."

  "How did you know?"

  "A conspirator will never fully trust others, so it's too dangerous to keep such important things in the company, only keeping them at home can be reassuring. And when my father was trying to prevent the notebook from being stolen, he installed a tiny tracking device on the side of the hard drive. According to GPS positioning, the notebook is indeed in that person's house, but the signal is very weak. I guess the notebook should be locked in a safe, so the signal is shielded by metal."

  "The safe isn't the problem, it's just how I can be certain that notebook is your father's notebook?"

  "I'll give you the receiver of the tracker, and then you can determine it yourself."

  "Okay."

  "Mr. Dark Sword, that villa is heavily guarded, apart from some banned firearms, there are at least two ancient martial arts masters inside, I've checked their information, both of them come from the Golden Light Gate, they're human-grade masters." Qingyun Fairy said this with a bit of trepidation and looked towards Zhou Jian, previously two bounty hunters had refused her because of these two human-grade masters.

  "Ahem, what's this 'high-level human' supposed to be?"

  "Huh......" Qingyun Xianzi was directly speechless, where did this guy come from in front of her, with such good skills but didn't know the high-ranking masters, could it be that he wasn't a member of the ancient martial family?

  Actually, when Zhou Jian asked this question, he had already guessed that it was a common sense question, but since it's an important matter, he didn't pretend to be knowledgeable and instead asked for clarification.

  Since the great calamity of last century, human society has undergone earth-shaking changes. A class of people gradually stepped onto the stage of history, extending into politics, military affairs, economy and other fields, becoming figures who hold significant power in their respective domains. They are the martial artists.

  Warriors are still mysterious to ordinary people. Zhou Jian only knew that there were seven major ancient martial arts families in Huaxia, but he didn't understand the classification of ancient martial arts.

  The fairy of light cloud said: "Martial artists are divided into three levels: heaven, earth and human. Each level is further divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Those two people's strength is probably at the top of the human grade, one person can deal with a dozen or so well-trained soldiers without any problem."

  "Oh...I see." Zhou Jian was also uncertain, but with his own Ghost Killer strength, he should be able to handle them. The ancient martial arts were divided into three stages: Heaven, Earth, and Man. So, what stage was his 21st level Ghost Killer strength at?

  "Dark Sword, sir," said the fairy after a moment of silence. "Although I'm afraid you'll refuse my request, are you certain you can avoid those two high-ranking officials? For those fugitives, taking someone's life is just a blink of an eye, and there's no way to investigate. A person's life is only once, and with your exceptional skills at such a young age, your future prospects are boundless. You must think carefully."

  In Lingyun's opinion, Zhou Jian was only good at stealing in secret, and when it came to real combat, he might not be that capable. Dark Sword wanted to steal something, so he had to avoid those two experts. Those two experts were not Cloud Aunt, their senses were extremely sharp. It would be too difficult for Zhou Jian to open the safe under their noses and take the notebook, it was simply... impossible.

  So it was reasonable for the two bounty hunters to refuse, but Zhou Jian accepted the task. Was he really confident or just naive? The Light Cloud Fairy definitely didn't want to see this young man, who was actually quite decent, lose his life because of her.
